A luxury villa is, to put it bluntly, a besieged city.
People who can't live there always wonder how happy they will be if they live there.
After the really rich people got tired of living there, they found that it was just like that.
For example, Gu Kun never owned a river-view villa by the Huangpu River in his previous life. He always felt that it was a forbidden property that only the rich and powerful could get their hands on. After actually moving in, he realized that the view was really poor.
River view rooms still require high-rise buildings.
The villas under the Oriental Pearl Tower, even if you choose the best apartment type, each one covers an area of two acres with a garden. But it is still not as grand as Tomson Yipin and COFCO Fufu.
Gu Kun's house has three floors, which is not too short for a villa. Only on the third floor and the attic on the slope roof can you see the river view. The terrace on the second floor is already blocked by street trees, and everything is blocked.
Can't see.
He also asked the planners of the real estate why they didn't build the house closer to the river. The answer he got was: First of all, it cannot occupy the riverside wooden walkway. Secondly, no matter how close it is to the river bank, it will be too hot in summer or
During the dry season, when the silt is exposed, it is easy to smell the earthy smell.
Yes, a place like the Huangpu River can only be seen from a distance, but when you get closer, it is a muddy pond.
"If I had known earlier, it would be better to wait until the high-rise luxury homes are released in the future, then buy a whole-floor apartment, and then run in circles on the all-access wrap-around balcony to enjoy the river view."
A few days after taking possession of the house, Gu Kun thought about it with regret in his heart.
I can’t even talk about regrets, but after experiencing it, I know it’s nothing more than that.
Anyway, I have plenty of money, and I can still buy it when the top management comes out. Money is the best medicine for regret.
Today, Gu Kun was interviewed by reporters in such a mansion that he was not very satisfied with.
His dissatisfaction will naturally show through his gestures and make the other party feel it inadvertently.
…
"This Mr. Gu is so exquisite and luxurious. He lives in such a high-end villa with limited supply of top-level privileges, but he still feels unsatisfied. And when it comes to the shortcomings of the house, he is very clear about it.
They also often quoted classics, such as ‘how a certain restaurant on the Hudson River in New York avoided this disadvantage’ and ‘how the Victoria Bay restaurant in Hong Kong dealt with it’. They really have an aristocratic air to their core.”
After Yin Tao just said a few words about home affairs, she was so confused that she became dizzy.
Even though she usually met a lot of wealthy foreign businessmen, those foreign businessmen in the 1990s came to engage in traditional industries and make money. How could they come to China to engage in luxury industry? Therefore, none of them showed off their wealth casually like Gu Kun. How could a female reporter do that?
withstand.
It's a pity that Gu Kun has no interest in showing off to her at all. What Gu Kun only values is her responsibility, and wants to use her reports to show off his show to potential consumers across the country, so that consumers can gain face.
Because in the initial conversation, Yin Tao's many tendencies made Gu Kun a little uncomfortable. He always felt that this woman was a bit servile to foreigners.
Even though Gu Kun is now a foreigner, he is the beneficiary of this gesture, and he is also uncomfortable.
After chatting about some topics that reflected Gu Kun's strength, Yin Tao couldn't help but bring the focus of the conversation back to the direction she was interested in:
"Gu Sheng, you haven't answered my initial question directly yet. Do you think you can achieve these results in international competitions, get so much experience and find the direction of your life at the age of only 19?
However, our domestic students cannot stand out. Is this because the talent selection process or the specialty training process is not done enough? It should not be a problem of race and potential, right?"
This question was even more pointed than before. It already induced Gu Kun to directly choose one of several "wrong reasons". In short, he assumed that there was already something wrong with his physique.
At first, Gu Kun didn't want to refute the other person's face, but wanted to lead the conversation and set the pace. He first talked about the content that he hoped CCTV would help him film and promote. At this point, he obviously couldn't avoid it anymore.
In Fudan in the 1990s, the science and engineering majors indeed made great contributions to the country, but some humanities majors were seriously corroded by the West. That’s why Gu Kun first asked that question and was mentally prepared.
.
Then you can only fight back.
"Comrade reporter, I think there is a big mistake in your question: First of all, my success was not achieved by me in Lanzhou, but only after I got the opportunity to study in China.
Speaking of swimming, when I was in Lanfang, because my parents died early, I had to take care of my younger sister at the age of 7 and live on a pension. At that time, I drove a small boat into the sea alone. It has been 12 years now.
I spent the first 11 years running in the sea by myself, swimming and diving to catch seafood every day. I had no professional training, just for the instinct of survival, which often lasted for more than ten hours a day. I didn’t know what a standard swimming style was. I did it for survival.
Until the last year, I came to China and got a chance to show off my talents and get professional training. In terms of results, I have made rapid progress in the past six months, and I am much better than myself.
After more than ten years of traveling, I have made a lot of progress.
Therefore, I am very grateful to China’s talent selection mechanism for discovering me and training me. If I had stayed in Lanfang all my life, I would not have had this opportunity.”
Gu Kun still hopes to do business with Chinese tourists, so of course he wants to say that this is the best place.
What's more, to be fair, he is indeed the beneficiary of this matter, and the education in China is indeed cheap and high-quality, and he is not flattering.
In later generations, on the Internet, he has seen many foreigners come to China, do nothing, just eat a few bites of Chinese food, and then say it is delicious regardless of whether it is delicious or not, they can attract countless fans, and then the Internet celebrities can bring goods everywhere.
.
How could he not use this trick?
Yin Tao was suddenly called "comrade" by a foreigner, and she was a little flustered.
Because Gu Kun didn't call her "comrade" in the conversation just now.
What's more, Gu Kun comes from a country where capital pays attention, and the irony of being called "comrade" by a person from a country where capital pays attention is already obvious.
"You... do you think our current higher education and talent selection mechanism in China are already very good?" She was really unbelievable. Nowadays, it is obvious that foreign countries are good in the field of education. Isn't Gu Kun unconscionably flattering?
Gu Kun coughed lightly. He couldn't flatter blindly, he had to say it with reason and evidence:
"I'm not saying there are no problems at all, but at least in terms of public education, I think China is one of the countries that has done very well. In the West, I have never seen any country that allows poor children to spend so little money.
You can afford to study in a university of this quality. Private universities are of course completely incomparable.
In addition, when you were talking to me just now, you kept praising the Western talent discovery and selection mechanism. I have to remind you that although Oceania claims to not have a "nation-wide system," they also have huge scholarships for students with sports talents.
In recent years, Oceania's national scholarship allocation for sports students with special talents has reached the level of 7 billion US dollars, subsidizing nearly 100,000 students with special talents. Isn't this a variant of the national system?
This is a typical legacy of the Cold War mentality. Any gold medal-winning country must do something like this to have a chance to occupy a place on the Olympic gold medal list. It is impossible to rely on happy education. Comrade reporters, you should really understand the system you are touting.
."
Everything Gu Kun said was the truth, and even the data was revealed after investigation.
Physical education and professional sports industry are beautiful to talk about, but they must have commercial operation value and league viewing value before they can be developed.
The vast majority of sports events in the Olympic Games have no commercial value, and there is no underlying logical basis for commercial operation.
The big guy's gold medal ranking in this area was not made up by spending money. No one should make a fool of himself by taking fifty steps.
"Is this true?" Qian Youliang, who had been silent and had a relatively upright outlook on things, felt refreshed when he heard what Gu Kun said.
Gu Kun: "Of course it's true - if you want journals related to industry research, I can give them to you. I am also a Jiaotong University student after all, so I can still look up information. I'm afraid some people have preconceived ideas and didn't think of checking."
Yin Tao was already aware of the other party's hostility and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I took it for granted. Gu Sheng, I apologize for my arbitrariness just now."
Unfortunately, it is impossible for Gu Kun to be interested in her, and this kind of apology cannot really ease the relationship. It is nothing more than a return to politeness on the surface.
The two sides chatted for a while, and the CCTV reporters were deeply impressed by Gu Kun's lively chat and laughter, as well as his extensive knowledge, and he gained a lot of valuable information.
"Then let's stop here today. We won't delay Gu Sheng's rest. We will compile an interview as soon as possible after we go back. Please preview it again to see if there are any problems." Qian Youliang said very politely.
Gu Kun asked Midrova to send the person out.
Before leaving, Yin Tao deliberately stalled for a while and found an opportunity to give Gu Kun a personal business card, saying that if anything happened, he could come to her at any time, whether it was business or private matters, and we could make friends.
But Gu Kun asked Midrova to secretly return it to Yin Tao's colleagues.
…
In the next few days, the interview team should have gone back to edit the program behind closed doors. However, Gu Kun was still harassed twice by Yin Tao from time to time.
First, the day after the interview, roommate Zhou Yaoguang secretly called Gu Kun and tipped off the news: "Brother Gu, the female reporter from the press station came to us again today and asked a lot of questions about your personal affairs.
I guessed that she wanted to bring something private, because there was a question in it. She also asked about your life style and whether you have any female friends in China. I was more alert and afraid of misunderstanding, so I said, 'I don't think so.
It's not very clear', is that correct?"
Gu Kun: "Yes, thank you. That's a good answer."
Zhou Yaoguang's guess was obviously correct. After learning that Gu Kun had no female friends, Yin Tao came to the door again and asked for two additional interviews.
Gu Kun couldn't refuse. The other party wanted to dig up some exciting information about his extravagant private life, which was exactly what Gu Kun wanted to see happen.
There were a lot of people interviewing me for the first time, and they were too embarrassed to ask about a lot of gossipy and extravagant information.
Of course, Gu Kun ate the sugar coating and spit out the cannonball. Every time, the rhythm was so high that he finished what he wanted to reveal, and then kicked Yin Tao away lightly.
I also didn't forget to call Yin Tao's colleagues and thank them for coming to conduct "supplementary interviews", so that I wouldn't be afraid that Yin Tao would leak the information after she returns.
After Teacher's Day, an interview program about Gu Kun and interviews with people around him were finally broadcast on a sports program on CCTV 5.
There is a lot of material, and it is impossible to go directly to the focus interview.
Always test the waters in secondary channels and secondary time slots first. If the audience responds well and the ratings are high, then use the remaining material to edit and refine the program.
