Chen Shi took a look at the number of votes and it was 80. It had risen very quickly, faster than he expected. It was time for a debate.
"That joke on the Internet is probably fake. Brother, our family is rich, but doesn't this reflect a problem? Does this kind of problem exist?
If you check it out, there must be similar real cases, and it won't be an isolated case.
There is another case, which you must have seen and reported to the police. A couple was getting married. Because of the bride price, the woman’s family beat the man at his workplace.
As a result, the woman went to the man's workplace to make trouble again, and the man beat the woman. Everyone probably knows about this.
First of all, I oppose and do not support this man hitting the woman. It is very bad, but the woman’s family beat the man for the bride price, and they are still in the man’s workplace. So have you ever thought about how long the man can stay in this company in the future?
Why would a pair of lovers who have been in love for many years reach this stage? They will definitely not get married and break up.
A caring person intercepted a clip and posted it on the Internet. A man beat a woman because of the bride price, and then the boy was exposed on the Internet. After investigating the complete incident, it was found that the woman's family beat the man first, and everyone knew why this happened.
The core point of this matter is the bride price. I would like to ask if there are people around you who have separated many couples who have been in love for many years because of the bride price, or even the people present themselves.
Two people fall in love because of their feelings, which transcends the existence of interests, but the wedding gift brings the two people back from their feelings to the point of interests.
One party bids for the betrothal gift, and the other party counter-offers. Doesn't this sound like a business negotiation? During the business negotiation process, have you ever seen a businessman and a businessman put aside their interests and discuss their feelings?
Since it is a business deal and the deal is concluded, then how come one party has to compromise for the sake of the family and pay without remuneration?
Once the business is concluded, everyone must perform their obligations in accordance with the contract. In terms of emotions, the home becomes a company, a company funded by two partners, one of which is the major shareholder and the other is the minority shareholder.
The major shareholders are responsible for contributing capital, and the minor shareholders are responsible for providing people and efforts. Then the minor shareholders complain that the major shareholders are stingy and they make money without caring about the people below. Think about it, does this make sense?
Regardless of whether a man marries a woman or a woman marries a man, business marriage is not suitable for the general public. Seriously, don’t let those movies and TV shows fool you.
Just take a look at those overbearing CEOs in movies and TV dramas who fall in love with Mary Sue. They are all fictional and made to cater to the audience, but they give you what they want.
Of course there are real overbearing CEOs who fall in love with Mary Sue, and they also happen in movies and TV dramas. For example, the emperor takes a concubine, looks at her, spends the night, and the next day or the next year, he forgets about the concubine and remembers to watch it.
If a concubine gives birth to a child, she will remember the concubine's name. If she can't remember it, forget it. But if the concubine makes the emperor unhappy, she may be thrown into the cold palace and be executed.
The betrothal gift given by the emperor is quite high, but do you want it? The betrothal gift given to you may cost the lives of your whole family, but there is no need to take responsibility.
Let's talk about marriage. In fact, the earliest gift money was a noble marriage, that is, a partnership to do business. I will give you the gift as a deposit, and you will give me the return gift as a receipt. Once the business is completed, the two families will be partners.
The prerequisite for marriage is that both parties do not take advantage of each other, which is what everyone now calls the AA system. In this way, even the parallel bars will not be wronged. According to modern terms, there is nothing wrong with each playing his own way.
The earliest form of marriage was doing business, which is a kind of contract. However, with the changes of the times, people's emotional lines have become more and more mature, and people's importance to emotions exceeds interests.
But people nowadays have brought back what the ancients had finally changed, that is, feelings. The other debater gave the example of his grandparents, parents, and said that betrothal gifts must exist, but you also said
Yes, the thing is for two people.
If you use the past as an example, let me use the past as an example. How many people in their 80s, 90s, and 40s and 50s are divorced around you? Look at the current divorce rate, and then look at the past.
I know some people say that in the past, some people were so stupid that they insisted on not getting divorced because they were not happy, because they were afraid of what others would say.
I also agree with this point of view, but have you ever thought about it? In the past, the starting point for people getting married was to live a good family and both of them to maintain the family. Now the starting point is how can I maximize my own interests!
Do you think the bride price is a tradition? Why have you forgotten the tradition of managing the family?
Everyone has an independent personality, don’t be led away by others, just like the popular first cup of milk tea in autumn. Do you know this meme? I guess everyone knows it.
Then a large group of people spent 52 yuan in red envelopes to buy milk tea in the circle of friends, as if no one bought the first cup of milk tea in autumn and it was shameful. So, let me ask, do all girls have to have someone transfer 52 yuan? 520 yuan?
People who throw red envelopes in various circles of friends, such as Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, Children's Day, etc. Those who throw red envelopes are the ones asking for betrothal gifts.
There are also boys who smash clothes and sneakers given by their girlfriends, and food and drinks given by their girlfriends. Essentially, these people are showing off and want others to know that they have these things.
Then another group of people watched and started showing off, which created a sense of comparison. Yes, the bride price has also become a kind of comparison. My best friend’s gift is 100,000 yuan. I can’t be less than my best friend. It should be at least 100,000 yuan.
Let’s talk about the first cup of milk tea this autumn. Have you ever thought about why this meme suddenly came out? I don’t know if it can be broadcast. You combine the first and last words and remove the middle word. Do you understand?
This itself is a code word for illegal transactions, but it has been over-interpreted as a show of affection. This is ridiculous, and a group of people followed suit.
Back to the debate topic, what is the bride price now? It is a comparison. I don’t want to say how difficult it is for an ordinary family to buy a house. I want to refute the other debater’s point that men should not be labeled whether they have the ability or not.
Responsibility is the most important thing.
I don’t think we should give betrothal gifts, but we must give betrothal gifts, such as buying some furniture and electrical appliances for the girl’s family, and buying some useful things for the girl’s parents.
But this will also turn into comparison. I think the best form of betrothal gift is to follow the tradition of the older generation, chicken, duck and fish, just keep it simple.
There is nothing wrong with adding a name to the real estate certificate, but are you afraid that you will feel insecure or are you afraid of losing money and losing points after a divorce?
Love and marriage should not be limited by a betrothal gift. If you don’t compare, there will be no conflicts. I would also like to ask those present, how many of you have seen those who are blushing for the betrothal gift and are living a good life?
Just now, the opponent’s fellow debater said that the bride price should be given to the newlyweds in the end, so why not turn the bride price money into insurance money? As a gift of 100,000 yuan, it would be better for the newlyweds to buy 50,000 yuan health insurance for each of them when they get married. The beneficiary should write the name of the other party.
.”
There was laughter in the audience. Chen Shi took a look at the votes and saw that they were 180 votes.
"Finally, I want to say one thing: I don't give you a bride price, but you can't give me responsibility and a sense of security. So I can give you insurance, buy financial funds for your children, and buy health insurance for your parents. Isn't this better?"
After Chen Shi finished speaking, the host knocked on the wooden fish and said: "Let me introduce this debater. He is the representative of our sponsoring advertising sponsor dad, so in order to ensure fairness and justice, I decided to personally support him with one vote."
There was laughter in the audience. The host looked at Gou Dan and asked, "Does Mr. Dan have anything to ask?"
Gou Dan looked at Chen Shi and asked, "You have changed the whole concept. I want to ask you whether I should give you a bride price or not. The betrothal gifts and health insurance you mentioned are actually within the scope of the bride price."
Chen Shi said decisively: "No! I won't give you a betrothal gift, but buying insurance and chicken, duck, fish and betrothal gifts are not the same thing at all. And I said not to give a betrothal gift, but to give responsibility and a sense of security. That's just
No money."
When debating, you must stick to your own point of view, otherwise you will lose. Even if your point of view cannot be established, you cannot change it, because you are debating. You must stick to your point of view. As soon as you waver, the audience will soon stop.
I trust your point of view.
"Okay, both sides have sixty seconds to open the bar, who comes first?" the host asked.
Chen Shi and Liu Li both walked to the middle stage. A table separated them. There was a hand pole on the table. One side of the debate pushed the opponent to the opponent's side. Each person summarized the time for one minute. This time was like a rapper improvising.
Just like rapping, you need to adapt to the situation.
In this kind of opening, whoever opens the attack first will be the passive one, because when you speak, the other party is thinking about your loopholes and how to exploit them.
"I came first just now, let you come this time." Liu Li said grandly. Chen Shi really wanted to kill her. Isn't it obvious that he wanted to do something?
"I just want to know one thing, do you feel good when you attack men?" After Chen Shi said this, he pushed him over and let the other person answer.
"Excellent! I also want to ask you, you said that if you don't give a bride price, you will buy insurance, responsibility, and a sense of security, and you will give a betrothal gift of chicken, duck, fish, and meat. You said that if you give a bride price, the marriage will deteriorate. So if you don't give a bride price, it won't go bad.
Have you cheated or divorced? You are kidnapping the marriage by using the word home." After Liu Li finished speaking, she pushed the joystick towards Chen Shi.
Chen Shi looked at Liu Li and said: "The moment you say "Shuang", I can't argue with you because you have lost the basis of debate, which is logical thinking and rational thinking. This is not a talk show or a complaint.
It feels good to come out.
You vented your emotions by attacking men, without considering the other women present. You never said, what is the real reason why you want a bride price? And you are still telling others not to get married without a bride price, but I didn't.
If you say you must get married without giving a bride price, what I am talking about is the problem, the essence of the problem of the bride price. You digressed from the beginning. Let’s go back to Mr. Dan again. I am not digressing. It’s not whether the bride price is given or not, but the problem is the bride price.
How we look at this issue is the core of the debate."
Gou Dan looked at Chen Shi, and then at the sponsor's advertisement, Empty Bottle Media, a company that started out as an operator. I have to say that this was not a debate between two debaters, but a debate between the copywriting teams of the two companies.
I was still careless. I didn’t expect the other party to be so serious. The copy must have been polished several times, and there was more than one set of copy. It’s my fault that Liu Li didn’t listen to me. Don’t use men as an entry point. Then the opponent must have a plan to deal with it.
ah.
The most important thing is what Chen Shi said, this is not a talk show stage, and the sponsor is not a milk powder manufacturer. Everyone in the talk show audience asks you to be funny, but for a debate show, the audience is not the same group of people who watch the talk show.
These audiences are more rational. Look at the debaters on the stage. There are a lot of graduates from Qingbei, Oxford and Harvard. They are all from the debate clubs of major schools.
Many of the audience in the audience have experience in debating. The biggest problem in debating is to clearly understand the topic and then use well-founded remarks to make the audience agree. The topic of betrothal gift was indeed brought to the point of commercial value by Chen Shi, and
Focus on the family, and finally use the nature of buying insurance to change the concept, and use another model to make the bride price unnecessary.
This proves that the team is really serious about what they do. They brought more than one talk show actor to this show, but in the end, none of them made it out of the show.
Why does Gou Dan want to bring his own artists to this show? It’s very simple. This show is easy to get out of the circle, and once the show becomes popular, he can do the show alone with sponsors, but as Chen Shi said, he
The group of people brought here also brought the original routines to use here. This is not a joke, but requires logic and knowledge reserves. The team copywriting team must be fully prepared.
"Okay! Let's look at the votes. Congratulations to Chen Shi for getting 245 votes and congratulations to Liu Li for getting 203 votes. Next, let's look at the next group of debate questions." said the host Lao Ma.
Chen Shi sat back with a relieved tone. The backup plan given by his copywriting team was indeed effective. At that time, he expected that Liu Li might use this point to attack, so the response plan was to bring everyone down to a reasonable level and look at the problem as bystanders.
After the recording of the program ended, the instructors were going to have a dinner. Some of the contestants went home directly, and some went out for a drink together. Chen Shi went to the host Lao Ma and added him on WeChat. Lao Ma knew Chen Shi’s purpose and he
As a producer, all he cares about is money. As long as Chen Shi's price is right, next season's band's winter and weird debates can be put on the Empty Bottle Media platform. Who would have trouble with money?
"Mr. Chen, let's go have dinner together." Gou Dan invited.
"No, I still have a job. You go ahead. If Mr. Dan has a good show, think of us at Empty Bottle Media. The price is right. You, Teacher Ma, Brother Xiaosong, and Brother Kang Yong can all come."
After saying goodbye, Chen Shi went straight to the address that Shen Xue sent him. Shen Xue returned to the imperial capital. She had just returned from studying abroad. It was still her family's old courtyard. Shen Xue brought Chen Shi a gift and asked him to find her after he finished his work.
Chen Shi drove to Shen Xue's house. There was a traffic jam all the way. The traffic jam was too heavy. Sitting in the car, the windows next to each other suddenly opened. There were a group of girls in the car. The music in the car was very loud.
Chen Shi shouted: "Brother, can you make a friend?"
