Chapter 486 Differences in Eastern and Western Ways of Thinking
"Thank you today, Fang. If it weren't for you, I would probably be the one who made a fool of myself! If my dad knew about this, I would definitely not be able to leave the house for half a year!" After the crowd gradually dispersed, Sestin said
He happily hugged Tang Qian's arm and said. Tang Qian only thought that she was a little girl, so he also grinned and said: "You know the consequences will be serious, so you still want to fight with the other party? You really don't make people worry."
"How can you blame me~" Sestin pursed her lips and said, "She was the one who provoked me first!"
"Really?" Tang Qian said noncommittally.
"Of course." Seeing Tang Qian doubting himself, Sestin immediately told the whole story. After letting Tang Qian listen, he couldn't help but shook his head secretly in his heart: These rich second-generation Americans, have they really eaten too much?
It’s a bit unreasonable to think that something as small as a sesame seed should be taken so seriously.
It turned out that Sestin and the person named Kylie Jenner got angry because of a quarrel, and then the two parties agreed to bring their own troops to decide the outcome in the way of basketball. As for what is called "the way of basketball"
" In Tang Qian's opinion, this is really a bit off topic. It can be called "using basketball to determine who is more attractive".
"Basketball way", you didn't even lift a finger from the beginning to the end, is this also called "basketball way"?
These rich people are so arrogant!
Huh? Wait, this little hottie’s name…
Tang Qian seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Sestin, who is this Kylie Jenner? Why does the name sound familiar to me?" Hearing what Tang Qian said, Sestin curled his lips and said.
: "Why does she sound familiar? Of course it sounds familiar to you men. She is one of the protagonists of the famous reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians"."
"'Keeping Up with the Kardashians?'" Tang Qian was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said, "Is it the Kim Kardashian family reality show?" "Yes! Huh! It seems that you are too.
I remember it very clearly!" Xiao Nizi said looking a little unhappy.
"Why did you meet her? Their family's reputation in the United States is not very good?" Tang Qian didn't pay attention and just continued to ask. "It's not that it's not good! It's that it's terrible!" Xiao Nizi said: "
As for how I met her, it's very simple. I haven't dealt with her very much since I was a child, and I even fought with her several times when I was a child, so I haven't dealt with her very much!"
Me, let me go~ It turns out that the relationship was formed when I was a child! It seems that the circle of second-generation celebrities in the United States is really small!
Tang Qian was right about this. The second generation of American celebrities are basically the same as the second generation of domestic celebrities. They basically have two paths. Either they continue to follow the fashion and entertainment industry of their fathers, or they start pursuing it when they grow up.
If investing and doing business are jobs for ordinary people, then there is still a "literary young man" who can do them.
But it is definitely different from real ordinary people.
After all, their material world has long been filled by their parents, so it would be too boring and lonely not to explore some spiritual things.
And fighting spirit is a negative extension of this spiritual world.
In other words, if you eat enough, you will be full, but if you eat too much, you will have nothing to do.
But now Tang Qian knows why this little hot girl has a hotter figure than Sestin and Sophia. It’s entirely because her family genes are better and more perverted. As for the last little hot girl’s “harsh words”, Tang Qian
I didn't take it seriously at all, I just thought it was a kid who wanted to talk and talk to save face after losing.
"By the way, perm, how is your injury?" Sestin suddenly asked. It's not surprising that she would ask this, because according to the "official reason" claimed by the Lakers, Tang Qian was injured in training, so he was injured.
Entered the injury observation list. Tang Qian shook his head and said somewhat depressedly: "I was not injured at all. I was completely involved in the internal fighting of the Lakers."
"Ah???" The little girl was very surprised, but she recovered very quickly. After all, she is not an ordinary child, so she will be exposed to the dark side of society much earlier. Even though his father is a well-known American actor, in fact
Those who work in the entertainment industry in the United States are basically not completely clean and untainted with evil spirits. Especially Hollywood, the City of Angels, is even more flashy on the surface, and there are all kinds of deeds on the inside, so Sestin
Although she is young, her exposure to this kind of thing is far greater than that of Tang Qian, a foreigner who has just arrived in the United States.
"Then can you tell me? Hot? Maybe I can help you with some ideas?" After Sestin said, Tang Qian laughed dumbly in his heart and said, How old are you, what good ideas can you come up with?
?I really want you to think about it, haven't I lived in vain for so many years? But seeing that the little girl is so enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and he just wants to find someone to "complain", Tang Qian still summarizes the outline of this matter.
I told the former again.
After hearing this, Sestin was not confused or shy. Instead, he said directly: "Fang, I think your thinking is too complicated. According to our Western thinking, we should do it without stopping and just do it directly.
Choose the other side." "Ah? What do you mean?" Tang Qian did not expect that this little girl would actually put forward an opinion after listening to her own narrative. This kind of independent thinking personality is completely different from people of this age group in China.
different.
"What's the point? Hot, I don't understand the way you Easterners think, but Kupchak has made it clear that he wants to stand with Howard, why don't you take the initiative to join with that Bonnie Laughlin?
What about confrontation?" After listening to Sestin's words, Tang Qian shook his head and smiled: "You are still too young to understand the pits inside. Mitch Kupchak is not alone. There is a new Laker behind him.
Boss Jim Bass, this is the source of his toughness. Bonnie Laughlin is a woman, and she is also nominally Kupchak’s subordinate. By standing with her, isn’t it self-defeating?”
The arm cannot twist the thigh. This is Tang Qian's thinking. In the real world, you are not making a movie. You have to take into account many things. Do you really think that you came to the United States and the NBA alone and can wave your hand and everyone will surrender?
?If you really want to do this, then you are the biggest idiot. Damn, if you don’t survive a few episodes, you will get a quick lunch.
If Kupchak was just a person, just a simple general manager of the team, he could still choose to fight. But the current situation is that it is clear that the new owner of the team has the same nose as him, and you can still get away with it.
Can he be the team owner? After all, the Lakers are his property.
Tang Qian thought that after saying this, Sestin would fall silent and have nothing to say, but little did he know that when the latter heard this, he waved his hands and said, "No, your idea is too simple."
~"
Ah? My idea is too simple? When I hear this sentence from your mouth, I feel a little "funny"?
However, Tang Qian still did not refute Sebastian's face, and just asked: "Then what do you think it should be like?"
No matter how you put it, people are making plans for themselves and thinking for themselves. In the United States, where he has no friends, Tang Qian cherishes this very much.
But immediately, Sestin said something shocking: "Hot, you always emphasize that behind Mitch Kupchak there is a new boss Jim Buss, but have you ever thought about this Bonnie La?
Is there someone secretly supporting Fulin?" "Oh? Tell me." Tang Qian didn't expect Sestin to say such a sentence, so he said with a little interest.
"It's very simple. Her identity and status are far inferior to Mitch Kupchak, but she is still ambitious and wants to kill Kupchak and take over. This shows that she also has someone to rely on.
As for who this person is, we will know clearly after we list all the children of old Bass."
"She also has someone to rely on? Is this possible? Now the power of the Bass family has clearly fallen into the hands of Jim Bass. If she has someone to support her secretly, what kind of trouble can she cause?" Sestin said: "
I think it's probably Jenny Bass."
"Jenny Bass?" Of course Tang Qian knows this name. She was even more famous than Jim Bass before. But unfortunately, she has lost in the power struggle with Jim Bass. Now
She was also forced to retreat to the second line, so Tang Qian subconsciously ignored her. "Even if it's Jenny Bass, the situation is very different now from a few years ago. She doesn't have much real power in her hands anymore. Even if it's Jenny Bass,
She supports Bonnie Laughlin behind the scenes, but that will probably have little effect, right?"
"Besides, old Bass's final choice has also come out. He chose Jim Bass, his son."
"Hot~ You are an Oriental, so you may not understand the family spirit of us Westerners." Sestin is also the rich second generation of Chiguoguo, so he is naturally influenced by this trick: "We Westerners are patriarchal.
Thoughts are far less serious than those in the East. Even the upper class and big families still have this habit, but it is far inferior to yours. Look at the history of our Westerners. Women are everywhere as kings, but in the history of your country,
There seems to be only one, right? So we have long treated women with the same attitude as men. And you yourself said that Jenny Buss’ team management ability is actually far better than Jim Buss, so this
There’s no way Old Buss doesn’t understand. Even if he chose his son in the end, he didn’t completely give up on his daughter, otherwise she wouldn’t be still working for the Lakers.”
"Okay~ I admit that I don't have the thinking of you Westerners, but one thing is very clear." Tang Qian said: "She has already lost to Jim Bass in the struggle for power. There is no way to deny this. She is now
If you have lost your power, why should you fight with Jim Bass?" "Hot, you have another Eastern misunderstanding." After hearing this, Sestin said without hesitation: "I know that in your East,
Once a family's power is determined, it is determined for life and is difficult to change, but in our West... it's not like that at all."
"The power of our family here can change at any time and at any time." Sestin continued: "Because everything is based on the interests of the family first. This is our starting point. Compared with what you talk about
'Family interests come first', we are truly implementing this idea."
"Let's not talk about Europe, let's just talk about us in the United States. How many families have erratic changes in power? The bigger the company, the more like this. It will never take the entire family if you can't do it alone.
Towards decline and destruction. There are many examples of this. If you look at the economic history of the United States, you will find that in our family model, the family head is always just a leader, not a dictator. Over there
It is almost impossible for us to be able to be the head of the family for a lifetime regardless of whether something goes wrong. So Jenny is not completely defeated, she is just temporarily defeated and temporarily retired. Once the time is right, she will again
Take action and remove Jim Bass."
After listening to Sestin's words, Tang Qian felt a little enlightened, because he had always thought about problems in the Eastern way of thinking, but he had forgotten that the United States is not the East at all. They have their own way of thinking. It's like
In the case of corporate succession, they can even hand over the leadership to outsiders who are not related by blood in order to ensure the longevity of the brand they founded. Apple is a typical example. As the founder, Jobs occupies the largest share, but
In the end, did he let his family inherit the company? Not at all! Instead, he gave the decision-making power to Cook! In any case, this kind of thing is almost impossible in China and the East.
The concept that father dies and son inherits is basically deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Eastern countries.
For example, things like Apple, or Bill Gates donating all his family property, this kind of situation is really unimaginable in China. Therefore, there is a huge difference in the way of thinking between Easterners and Westerners. In addition,
Shang Tang Qian's family is the most ordinary working-class family in the country, so he has never been exposed to these family fights since he was a child. Therefore, Sestin, who does not come from a wealthy family, has a clear understanding of this matter.
"Is it really possible to get it back? Does Jenny Bass really have a chance?" Tang Qian began to hesitate when he heard this, and murmured. "Of course, if Jenny Bass really wants to
What you said is much more powerful than Jim Bass." Sestin said: "She will never choose to turn a blind eye to opportunities."
"The key is to get it hot. Do you dare to take the risk?" Sestin said looking at Tang Qian.
PS: Xiao Zi has personally experienced the difference in thinking styles. Sometimes they are very similar, and sometimes they feel like they are not in the same world as the other person~
