Chapter 238: Hibiscus Phenomenon
It was 7:30 pm on September 10, 2001, 13 hours and 32 minutes before 9/11, which shocked the world.
When Lin Feng walked into the studio of "O'Reilly Facts", the venue was already full of spectators. A somewhat bald middle-aged American man came over and said, "Welcome, the richest man from China."
Lin Feng took a deep look at him and knew that he was tonight's host O'Reilly, an extreme right-winger.
"Thank you." Lin Feng sat down calmly.
After the director's three-second countdown, "O'Reilly Facts" officially began and was broadcast live across the United States.
"Hello, viewers from the United States of America, I am O'Reilly, and the yellow-skinned young man next to me from China, I believe many Americans who often read Time magazine will be familiar with it. He is the one in this issue.
The cover character - Lin Feng." O'Reilly introduced.
"Hello, American viewers." Lin Feng smiled.
"Well, Mr. Lin, this issue of Time magazine said that you earned 1 billion US dollars in two years and became the youngest richest man in mainland China. Can you tell me the secret of your success?" O'Reilly flipped through the pages of "Time" with his right hand.
Time magazine, with a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth.
Lin Feng was about to answer, but was interrupted by O'Reilly.
"Is there a lot of sudden wealth in China? Just like the collapse of the Soviet Union, many super rich people suddenly emerged." O'Reilly's words are very poisonous, directly insinuating that China is just like the Soviet Union in the past, corrupt and will disintegrate sooner or later. At the same time, it is also
It implies that Lin Feng's success does not come from hard work, but from the special political and economic system.
Lin Feng smiled contemptuously, pointed at the Time magazine in O'Reilly's hand and said, "Mr. O'Reilly, the secret of my success is clearly explained in this exclusive interview with me by the British Hurun. Not to mention the overnight fortune in the IT world.
I believe there are more examples in Silicon Valley in the United States.”
O'Reilly hit a snag and asked Lin Feng several questions about the source of his property. Each one was more cunning and more pungent than the last, but Lin Feng answered them all in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, which made O'Reilly quite angry.
.
"Mr. Lin, I have read many Chinese movies and novels that say Chinese people, like Chinese women, like to have long hair, especially braids. What about your braids?" O'Reilly used this matter to slander Lin Feng, and several others
Insult the Chinese people.
Lin Feng sneered and looked around.
"Mr. O'Reilly, I see that there are many American men with longer hair than the women around them. Can you explain to me why this is the case in your country?" Lin Feng looked at O'Reilly provocatively.
O'Reilly's expression changed, and he looked at the scene. Sure enough, there were indeed many men in the audience with long hair, some with pigtails, and some even wearing it straight.
O'Reilly cursed, but this didn't bother O'Reilly.
"I think these people are all music artists. You have to know that music artists always show their differences in this way. There are too many music geniuses in our country, such as Michael Jackson, so this is not surprising at all."
Li's words received a lot of applause from the audience.
"Haha, Mr. O'Reilly, do you know what poetry is?" Lin Feng didn't wait for O'Reilly to answer and said directly, "I think you don't understand. Poetry is the product of our country's 5,000-year-old culture and has a long history.
, it can be said that every word is precious, and some superficial people may not have even heard it, let alone understand it. In our country, most of the poems and songs are proficient in everyone. Therefore, many people also like to wear long braids, because they are all poets.
Braids can make people know that they are different." Lin Fengzhao responded in a clear way, but at the same time he did not forget to mention O'Reilly.
O'Reilly couldn't help but feel angry after being insulted by Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin has short hair. Does that mean your literature is shallow? It seems to me that Mr. Lin graduated from high school and didn't even go to college." O'Reilly seized on this and lashed out.
Lin Feng smiled.
"That's because we Chinese know what it means to be modest. In order not to embarrass the other party too much, we cut our long hair short. As for me, like Mr. Bill Gates, I believe that school cannot educate us more." Lin
Feng's words left O'Reilly speechless.
Outside the studio, Fox CEO Roger watched the TV with interest, but he rarely witnessed O'Reilly being frustrated.
"What's the ratings?"
"Back to the president, more than 40 million people are watching."
"Okay, let O'Reilly ask more spicy questions. I want to see how Lin Feng responds." Roger shouted excitedly. Regardless of whether Lin Feng will be embarrassed later, today's ratings will definitely hit a new high.
O'Reilly, who was being interviewed, received the message from Roger, with a treacherous look in his eyes. Just now, he was worried that Lin Feng was a consultant for Roger's new show "American Idol", so he had some spare efforts. Now that he got the signal from the president, naturally
There is no need to worry anymore, he can use all his firepower.
...
However, to everyone's surprise, this episode of "O'Reilly Facts" only lasted half an hour and had to end because host O'Reilly acted like an angry bull during the show, in front of 50 million Americans.
He showed violence and punched Lin Feng.
The reason was that Lin Feng satirized a scandal in O'Reilly's early years at school. This scandal was O'Reilly's Achilles' heel, and it was also O'Reilly's backlash. Lin Feng exposed it in front of 50 million Americans.
How not to get angry. In anger, he kicked over the table on the spot and rolled up his sleeves.
As for O'Reilly's scandal, it was also discovered by domestic netizens who were angry at his shameless behavior and conducted a reactionary human flesh search through Chinese Americans. At that time, due to the hosting of the Olympic Games, it did not cause any trouble to O'Reilly, so he is now
Lin Feng borrowed it and succeeded in angering O'Reilly.
The first punch was dodged by Lin Feng, who was well prepared.
The second punch was directly blocked by Lin Feng, and then Lin Feng counterattacked. O'Reilly was directly beaten to the ground by Lin Feng. After being helped up, his face was red and he roared at Lin Feng, muttering that he wanted to duel, but directly
Lin Feng ignored him, leaving him with a handsome figure drifting away.
Losing people and losing face.
Roger also didn't expect O'Reilly to be violent, and his expression was extremely gloomy.
"What's the ratings?" Roger asked bitterly. If the ratings plummeted, he would be ready to fire O'Reilly.
"Back to...back to CEO, the ratings exceeded 100 million, and 100 million viewers watched the show." The data clerk shouted in disbelief, "President, many viewers called and said they hope to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer again.
Leigh got beat up on the show."
Roger was stunned for a while after hearing this. After a long time, he smiled and quickly ordered someone to comfort O'Reilly who was still swearing wildly. However, he began to silently calculate in his heart whether he would do the same in the future and let O'Reilly be criticized more on the show.
A few beatings. I believe O'Reilly will sacrifice a little bit of flesh for the sake of ratings.
Lin Feng walked out of the studio and ignored everyone. He not only humiliated Fox's ace programmer, but also beat him up. Now I am afraid that he has become the most unpopular person in Fox and even the American audience. Why bother asking for trouble anymore?
.However, what surprised Lin Feng was that along the way, ordinary Fox staff gave Lin Feng a thumbs up.
"Well done!" Someone even patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said in appreciation.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. This shows how unpopular O'Reilly is. The only thing to blame is his vicious mouth. Afterwards, the next day's newspaper also proved how hated O'Reilly is in the United States.
After Lin Feng beat up O'Reilly, an organization conducted a public opinion poll. The results were beyond everyone's expectations. More than 50% of the interviewees deeply agreed with Lin Feng's beating of O'Reilly, and even praised Lin Feng. However, everyone
The strange thing is that when asked if they hated O'Reilly, they all said they did, but when asked if they would continue to watch "The O'Reilly Facts", everyone said they would continue to watch. However, they hope that O'Reilly can be seen again on the show.
Beat him a few times.
In this regard, Lin Feng can only say that this is human nature, just like Sister Furong in China, although she is so "superior", she can still attract a lot of attention.
After Lin Feng left the Fox Building, he rushed directly to the Los Angeles Airport.
At this time, it was 21:00 on September 10, 2001, 12 hours before 9.11.
During the day, Lin Feng contacted id-software, the game company that developed "Quake II (Quake II)". The other party invited Lin Feng to have a detailed discussion in New York on the morning of September 11. John, the president of id-software, was attending a meeting in New York and learned that
After Lin Feng asked to buy his company's 3D engine, he was very happy and hoped to cooperate with Lin Feng. But now he couldn't get away for a while, so Gu invited Lin Feng to go to New York.
Lin Feng naturally agreed to John's invitation. Although he was a little worried about 9.11, considering that he was rushing from Los Angeles to New York, and the plane that was hijacked on 9.11 was from Boston to New York, he didn't have much worry in his heart. What's more, he could witness it with his own eyes.
This terrorist attack that shocked the world was like watching a Hollywood blockbuster live.
When I packed up everything, rushed to the airport, and got on the flight to New York, it was already 2 a.m., 7 hours before 9.11.
Lin Feng booked first class. Compared with ordinary business class, first class is much more comfortable. Although the journey is not long, only 5 or 6 hours, but what is the purpose of making money? Isn't it just enjoyment? Why abuse yourself?
.
However, Lin Feng unexpectedly found someone in the first-class cabin, a woman who made Lin Feng's heart flutter - Jessica Alba, a sexy and stunning beauty.
Jessica.
Alba was born in 1981 and is just 20 years old this year. She is most famous for being the blonde invisible woman in "Fantastic Four". Her angelic face and devilish figure have attracted many men to watch her
"Fantastic Four" has never been forgotten. Of course, "Fantastic Four" only started filming in 2005, and now Jessica is only a slightly famous actor, and not many people are familiar with her.
