  Chapter 512 Showing His Fangs (1)

  On October 11, the University of Chicago announced a piece of news that surprised the industry. A well-known alumnus donated the largest amount of alumni donation in history to the University of Chicago, with a total amount reaching nine figures.

In the announced news, the University of Chicago did not disclose the identity of the donating alumnus, but hinted that this alumnus has made pioneering contributions in the financial field. Although he is still very young, his current achievements are enough to win the Nobel Prize. Economics Prize. The use of the donated funds will be divided into two parts, one part will be included in the University of Chicago Alumni Endowment Fund for long-term management, and the other part will be used as a scholarship fund for overseas students from China. Any University of Chicago student from mainland China can apply for part specific fund.

  Naturally, the disclosure of this information is enough for the good media. After consulting the current situation of hundreds of "well-known alumni" with Chinese backgrounds, some authoritative media targeted Zhong Shi. They first asked the public relations department of Tianyu Fund for verification, and after receiving affirmative answers, they raised interview request.

Since this news also caused a sensation in mainland China, many people were puzzled by it. Therefore, after communicating with foreign counterparts, the official media also requested an interview with Tianyu Fund in Hong Kong. After picking and choosing, Aihua News Agency and "Wall Street Journal" became the two print media that finally obtained the interview qualification. At the same time, CNBC's TV station also broadcast the entire content of the interview live. After all, even in Wall Street, Zhong Shi can be regarded as the No. 1 famous figure, and this is his first public appearance in so many years.

   It is precisely because of many reasons that so many well-known media are able to compromise and jointly conduct an exclusive interview with Zhong Shi.

On a sunny morning on October 15th, in the office building rented by Hu Ping and others, although the traders were operating in front of the computer screen, most of their eyes were aimed at the innermost office. Since six o’clock, People came in and out of that room one after another, moving various photographic equipment in and out. Jiang Shan looked around curiously, and found that the 70-square-meter office had been set up as a small interview center. There was an empty space in the middle of the room, where four ordinary chairs were placed, and the background was painted sky blue. A large reflective board hangs on the left and right sides of the lens, illuminating the area brightly. Around the four seats, there are all kinds of camera equipment densely packed, with red and blue instructions The lights turned on one by one, and the staff sat around, waiting for the protagonist to appear.

"What is this for?" Jiang Shan couldn't help being a little stunned. Although he had seen the interview scene before, he was a little unclear about it, because Zhong Shi didn't reveal the slightest bit of information before, so he was naturally very familiar with the content of the interview. Out of curiosity, he turned his head and asked Hu Ping, who was also puzzled, "Is this a live broadcast?"

Hu Ping shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know about it. Then his face darkened, and he pretended to be angry to scare Jiang Shan: "What are you doing so much? You'll know when you watch TV later? Still watching? Hurry up and watch the tape." Well, I missed the other party's signal of reconciliation, and you will see it then."

Ever since he learned that Jiang Shan was going to "abandon the dark and turn to the bright", Hu Ping's attitude towards him was obviously a lot colder. Jiang Shan also knew this well, stuck out his tongue immediately, and didn't dare to say anything. He returned to his seat and looked at him obediently. Come on.

  A quarter of an hour before ten o'clock, Zhong Shi's figure appeared outside the office door, and immediately a makeup artist came forward, frantically applying powder on his face, which is a necessary procedure for being on camera. After tidying up hastily, Zhong Shi calmly walked to the center of the spotlight, sat down on the middle seat, and said with a smile: "Okay, shall we start?"

At this moment, the powerful aura immediately enveloped the audience, and the confidence of the superior was fully revealed at this moment. Jeremy Bryan, the director of CNBC, was overjoyed. He had a hunch that there might be news beyond imagination today. After coming out, he waved to Zhong Shi and said, "Wait a moment, Mr. Zhong, we will start as soon as the anchors are in place."

   While talking, three reporters (anchor) filed into the office. They were making final preparations in the nanny car downstairs, busy proofreading the outline of the interview. Since the contents of the interviews that these four companies basically want to interview are different, but there may be overlaps between them, they need to think of backup questions when conflicts arise.

A Chinese came from the Aihua Agency, with an oriental face, his hair was cut very short, and he looked very energetic. The name displayed on the badge was Zhang Xiaomin, thirty-five years old, and he began to speak Mandarin with Zhong Shi after he came in. After communicating, the two soon started talking and laughing, obviously they are masters of communication.

  The reporter from the "Wall Street Journal" is called Chris Snetti. He looks quite young, but he is also over 30 years old. He is a well-known reporter in their social news. After he took his seat, he greeted Zhong Shi in a friendly manner, and then began to look around, his blue eyes wandering around, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The last one is Sean Bonner, one of CNBC's outfield ace hosts. He is in the prime of his life in his forties, but his temples may be graying due to excessive use of his brain, but this His white hair gave him a taste of a mature man. Known for his sharp inquiries and harsh words, he attracted the attention of the audience as soon as he came in. After communicating with Jeremy Bryan for a while, he walked towards Zhongshi with a smile on his face, walking Stretching out his right hand, he said: "Mr. Zhong, it is really a great honor to meet you. You must know that your name is well-known in the financial world. We have tried to interview you over and over again, but your employees always It’s stopping us from doing good deeds.”

  As soon as he came up, he didn't greet the other two at all, and there was a faint squeeze between Zhong Shi and Zhong Shi's identity in his words, which seemed a bit unfriendly.

"Really? Is it you, or the CNBC team?" Zhong Shi's face remained unchanged. After shaking hands with the other party politely, he asked a question. After getting the answer from the other party, he replied lightly, " It must be that Mr. Xiao En's speaking style is too sharp, so my staff kindly dissuaded him. I believe that if it were another person, my staff would definitely not do this."

  Zhong Shi was naturally not to be outdone, and while being polite, he secretly satirized the shortcoming of the other party's harsh words.

  Zhang Xiaomin was slightly taken aback at first, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. And Chris Snetti laughed out loud with a "poof". Sean Bonner can laugh at himself. After a flash of embarrassment on his face, he laughed loudly, "Mr. Zhong, you are so humorous. I think we will definitely become friends."

   "I hope so too!" Zhong Shi smiled lightly, since the other party had released his kindness, there was no need for him to hold on to it any longer.

After several people chatted for a few more minutes, they heard the director say: "The last ten seconds to prepare." Then a staff member counted down softly, and when the final was over, the red light on the camera turned on, indicating that the live broadcast was over. start.

At this time, in the trading room not far from the door, the TV set hanging from the ceiling had long been switched to the CNBC channel. With the signal switching, Zhong Shi and others appeared on the screen, which immediately aroused the attention of traders. A burst of exclamation from them.

"Good morning, everyone. This is CNBC. Today we have invited Mr. Zhong Shi from Huaxia Hong Kong. Mr. Zhong is famous for formulating the credit price determination mechanism. In addition, he is also one of the influential figures in the market. He was successful in 1998. to assist the Hong Kong government to rescue the market. Also, this top student who graduated from the University of Chicago spent a lot of money some time ago and donated a total of 100 million U.S. dollars to the University of Chicago, which became the focus of market discussion for a while. Today, we are honored to Invite this Mr. Zhong."

  The camera cuts to Zhong Shi, seeing that the camera facing him turned on a red light, Zhong Shi smiled slightly, and nodded towards the camera as a greeting.

   It’s just that he never thought that when his young face appeared on the TV, the market would be amazed, because most of the traders who watched the program did not expect that this legendary figure was so young. Although for Europeans and Americans, most of them can’t tell the age of Asian faces, but in their minds, people who can achieve such achievements must be at least forty or fifty years old, but the real-time numbers on the screen are clear He told them that Mr. Zhong Shi was only 30 years old.

"Because this Mr. Zhong is busy, we can only interview CNBC with two other print media this time. Ha, this is also the first time in my anchor career. It seems that I have to get used to this way of sharing with others , or I might lose my job tomorrow."

After mocking himself, Sean handed the microphone to Zhang Xiaomin and said, "This is Zhang from the Aihua News Agency. He wants to ask Mr. Zhong a few questions first. Let's see what they will say first." .”

Zhang Xiaomin took the microphone, and there was a hint of sullenness in his eyes, but it was naturally inconvenient for him to say anything during the live broadcast. He took the microphone right away, first complimented Zhong Shi, and then asked: "Mr. Zhong, Regarding the huge donation to the University of Chicago this time, have you ever considered donating to domestic universities? At present, there are a lot of discussions about your behavior in China, and most of the comments think that you favor one another and have forgotten your origin .I know that your sister is currently running a large-scale charitable fund, and has donated countless materials and medicines to the mainland for free in the past few years. Do you need to follow suit in this regard?"

Zhang Xiaomin’s question represented the psychology of some Chinese people. Zhong Shi was naturally prepared for his question. He smiled slightly and said slowly: “About this donation, it is a little feedback from me to my alma mater. The amount is not counted. A lot, part of this part of the funds will be used for Chinese students at the University of Chicago, so I didn’t forget to say this. In addition, I am considering the plan to donate to domestic universities. Believe me, this part of the amount is absolutely not It will be less than the amount donated to the University of Chicago, and the scope of benefits will be wider. Mr. Run Run Shaw has donated so many libraries. I have always regarded him as a model of life, and I will naturally follow him. So about not donating to Concerns about domestic university donations, please try to dispel your doubts, and when the plan is mature, we will announce the specific donation method to the public.”

  After listening to Zhong Shi's answer, Zhang Xiaomin smiled. This answer obviously satisfied him very much, and it could also calm down the many controversies about this donation in China.

Next, it was the turn of Chris Snetti from the "Wall Street Journal". Seeing his green eyes rolling, he put down the interview outline in his hand and continued directly following the topic of Zhang Xiaomin, "Mr. Zhong, I'm Chris Snetti from The Wall Street Journal, you can call me Chris. Regarding your donation, I pay high respects to you, but now there is a rumor that you have donated a huge amount of money to prestigious schools, yes In order to obtain the right to recommend, so that you can recommend those powerful children to enroll in the future, is this rumor true? Are you really serving your business in the name of donation?"

  As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaomin's face darkened immediately.

   Thank you book friends for voting with me! I hope that more book friends will pay attention to and support this book, thank you!
