Chapter 571: A hit
Chapter 571: A hit
Many people are already competing in their mother\'s womb. For most people, if we were to apply a saying, it could be said that \'as long as there is life, there is competition!
And as the helmsman of a company, the pressure is naturally even greater.
Small businesses have to consider the issue of survival, and large businesses also have to worry about development plans.
Regardless of size, they all have their own difficulties.
For example, in the case of a small business, it is certain that it cannot compete face-to-face with those large enterprises in the industry, but it also has its advantages. It is small in capacity, and can be filled to the brim by eating just one worm.
As for large enterprises, they of course have an advantage when competing with their peers, but they also have a major disadvantage. Their capacity is too large, and they may barely be half full after eating a blue whale.
These entrepreneurs who came to listen to Feng Yiping\'s speech today, regardless of the size of their enterprises, whether they are regional or multinational, and regardless of how glamorous they usually appear in public, whether they are one-star or five-star, the pressure they face in terms of competition and development is essentially not very different.
Feng Yiping is not just an expert who has come up with a concept or a research scholar. He is also an entrepreneur. His speech, which combined examples from his own entrepreneurial process, was more practical and more meaningful than those of pure experts, and gave a lot of inspiration to those present.
At the end of his speech, he mentioned his own magazine Frontier, which often publishes his articles. Next, following the American convention, he linked what everyone does to the big and empty directions of human civilisation and progress, world peace and development.
The audience immediately knew that this was the finale, and some people who had been inspired by his speech applauded in advance, encouraging those who were still thoughtful to join in the applause.
After a while, it was not clear which group took the lead, but everyone stood up and applauded. Later, everyone in the audience stood up, including those on the podium, and they all applauded and looked at Feng Yiping behind the lectern with smiles on their faces.
Feng Yiping was really a little surprised. More than 900 entrepreneurs from all walks of life in formal attire stood up at the same time to applaud him. Such a gesture of respect really touched him.
While saying \'Thank you all!\' into the microphone, he bowed to the audience.
The continuous applause in the club immediately excited the reporters and cameramen in the interview area. Such scenes are not common in this club.
The reporters from several Chinese-language TV stations were beyond excited and felt a sense of pride.
Many people who had not read the book had the thought, \'I must find time to read this book,\'
because in a country like the United States, where capital is supreme, getting nearly a thousand capitalists to spontaneously stand up and applaud for a young Chinese man in his early twenties fully demonstrates the value of this book.
The unexpected doesn\'t end there. The domestic and Hong Kong TV reporters who came today already thought that Feng Yiping\'s being invited to speak here was very newsworthy, and this final scene made today\'s material even more newsworthy.
Before the luncheon, Feng Yiping was extremely busy. Behind a table at the entrance to the banquet hall, he exchanged business cards with people while signing their books and taking group photos with many of them.
But the rewards were really great. Among the business cards he received were those of executives from investment banks and financial companies on Wall Street, as well as those of entrepreneurs from all over the United States. There were even business cards from the Big Four accounting firms. This is really a very good platform.
\'Julie said that the cruise ship has been booked and asked when you want to go to Liberty Island,\' Jacob came over and asked.
\'Tell her to reschedule for the afternoon and apologize for me,\' said Feng Yiping, smiling as he picked up a glass of wine from the tray of the waiter passing by, and walked over to those who needed to strengthen their ties. How could he miss such a good opportunity for communication?
The lunch and the subsequent exchanges continued until after 3:00 p.m. Although Feng Yiping didn\'t really eat anything, he didn\'t feel hungry at all. The harvest was very good!
The people and companies he interacted with also had a very positive impression of him. They thought he was young and energetic, extremely knowledgeable, and although it was his first time abroad, his thinking was completely in line with the international community.
He was also considered to be young and accomplished. What was rare was his humble, calm and thoughtful manner in dealing with people, and the practicality of his words.
He lived by the standard that doing things well is the same all over the world. Therefore, the people with whom Feng Yiping deliberately strengthened his relationship were also very interested in the companies Feng Yiping founded and were optimistic about their future.
While Feng Yiping was enjoying the beautiful view of Manhattan on the cruise ship in the company of Julie and Jacob, and taking photos in various poses on the crown platform of the Statue of Liberty, newspapers and TV reporters who had witnessed the scene at the club were rushing to prepare news about him.
That night, NBC, headquartered in the Rockefeller Building on Fifth Avenue in New York, briefly broadcast the scene that had occurred at the club at noon during the news.
When the news was broadcast, the anchor, who had always viewed China and Chinese people through tinted glasses, was unusually fair and objective for a moment. The reason was simple: he could offend Feng Yiping, but he could not offend the bigwigs who were present at noon.
If Feng Yiping and his theories are just that, then isn\'t that slapping the bigwigs in the face?
And as Feng Yiping contentedly drifted off to sleep, the capital was just beginning its day. At this time, CCTV-2, still known as the \'Economic, Lifestyle and Service Channel\', broadcast a short news report from its New York correspondent during the morning news. The report showed the scene of the audience standing up and giving Feng Yiping a round of applause.
Director Jin always multitasks in the morning. While eating breakfast, he wears reading glasses to browse the newspaper delivered to his home and also pays attention to the news on TV. He always pays attention to CCTV-2 in the morning. At this time, watching the person and scene on TV, his mouth hung wide open for a long time, and he lost his composure for the rare occasion.
The little maid next to him was really shocked and thought he had a stroke!
Then, Jin Ling was naturally the second to know, followed by Mei Yiliang and others, and then Feng Yuxuan.
Feng Yiping went to the United States, and the person who should be most worried about him should be Mei Qiuping. Although she knew that with her son\'s abilities, nothing would happen to him in the United States, she still had to mention it a few times a day. When she got up in the morning, she was still worried about it. \'Yiping should be sleeping now, should I give him a call and ask?\'
Feng Zhenchang is much more open-minded now, \'Didn\'t you just call last night? What are you worried about with him? Why don\'t you go with him next time he goes abroad?\'
There\'s nothing they can do about it. Most of the time, the tone of their conversation is always like this, and they don\'t even say good things nicely.
She was busy making soy milk when the phone rang. Mei Qiuping, who was in the kitchen, shouted out, \'Feng Laosan, answer the phone,\' but there was no reply.
Wiping her hands, she went to the living room and saw Feng Zhenchang, holding a broom with a bamboo handle, cleaning the road in front of the house.
She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was her daughter\'s mobile phone. It was early in the morning, so what could it be? \'Yuxuan, are you doing well? Have you had breakfast yet?\'
\'Mom,\' Feng Yuxuan\'s voice sounded happy, but there was still a sour note in her words, "your precious son has shown his face again this time, and even the foreigners admire him. What\'s more, the news was on CCTV,\'
\'Really?" Mei Qiuping dropped the spoon in her hand and her voice was so loud that it attracted Feng Zhenchang outside. "What\'s wrong?\'
\'Yiping was on CCTV," Mei Qiuping told him, overjoyed.
\'Ah, ask quickly, which channel and when?\' Feng Zhenchang didn\'t bother to sweep the floor, and ran over to turn on the TV.
\'Second set, it\'s already over, but there will be a repeat,\' Mei Qiuping put down the phone, \'How could such a big thing happen, why didn\'t Yiping tell us when we spoke on the phone yesterday?\'
It wasn\'t that Feng Yiping didn\'t tell them, it was just that there was a 13-hour time difference, and it was late at night in China at the time.
The next morning, many newspapers in New York, such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, as well as Chinese-language newspapers such as the World Journal and Sing Tao Daily, reported this scene in more detail.
Feng Yiping, a young man from a foreign country, became an overnight sensation in New York.
