Vol 5 Chapter 895: accurate

Judging from the lineup of guests attending, African issues seem to be very important. Feng Yiping’s seminar today included an African president, tsny president Benjamin Mkapa, Australian Prime Minister, and John Howard. Sitting on the podium.

There is another guy we will be familiar with later, the American senator, the heavyweight of the American Republican Party, John McCain.

Of course, we are familiar with him, not because he likes him, nor because he has ran for president of the United States twice, but because he has acted as a vanguard for our neighbor on the issue of dyd, standing on the opposite side of us.

To say that this person’s most powerful ability is when we first saw him on TV and in the media—mostly in 2000, he and Bush Jr. vie for party nomination. He looks like that. We will become familiar with it later. When he hated him, he was still the same.

Bush Jr. and Little O’Hare have both re-elected for two consecutive terms, and both have left the White House. This one still has white hair, a muscular face, and a neck with full veins. He is active in American politics.

Not convinced.

This Mr. McCain is famous. Both his father and his father's father are from officials to the U.S. Admiral. The sixth ship of the U.S. main destroyer Arleigh Burke class, numbered ddg-56, is based on their family. It was named after "John McCain" (the station is in Yokosuka)-but it is always inferior to Bush's background, so I never worked for Bush at the beginning.

He naturally joined the U.S. Navy, and as a naval attack aircraft pilot, he participated in the Vietnam War. Then, he was captured for five and a half years. It is said that he was often tortured at least three times a week, but he still survived.

This experience of being captured also became his later political bargaining chip. With this, he was elected to the U.S. Congress in 1982 and was elected to the Senate in 1986 after he retired from the Navy with the rank of colonel in 1981. , And has been re-elected until now, and the next ten years.

This ability is not covered.

By the way, he was born in 1936, which means he will be 70 next year. But when he walked in, he walked steadily, his face was ruddy, and his spirit was very strong. Those who are not familiar with him might think He is only in his early 50s.

The old man looked a little unsmiling. He was the first to board the podium, sat down in his seat, and took out a document and spread it on his lap.

At this moment, someone stood up and shouted, "Mr. McCain,"

He looked up, "Ms. Whitman," and walked off the stage with a smile.

We know that the main difference between the two parties in the United States. Generally speaking, the Republican Party likes to cut taxes. Relatively speaking, it is more conducive to the interests of the rich. The Democratic Party is accustomed to increasing taxes and wants to use taxes for redistribution and make society more balanced. , Which is more popular with the poor.

Therefore, ordinary large companies and rich people tend to support the Republican Party.

Of course, those who are rich and have no place to spend, such as Bill Gates, who just donated $750 million, and the stock **** Buffett, these rich men who don’t have to worry about making money anymore, know that the development is more balanced and therefore a more stable society. It is in their interests, so they will in turn support the Democratic Party.

Meg Whitman obviously can't compare with those two, so she is naturally a supporter of the Republican Party, and it seems that they are familiar with each other.

Yes, Whitman once served at Bain Capital-the investor who was introduced to Gome by Mr. Chen. Its founder is another foreigner of the Republican Party and Mitt Rom, who later ran for president. Ni.

The two of them held hands and talked very enthusiastically. Feng Yiping only took a look before continuing to discuss the root of poverty in Africa with Cummins.

But sometimes, if you don't want to be troublesome, I just came to you on this matter. Whitman and McCain talked a few words, then smiled and pointed to Feng Yiping.

When Feng Yiping noticed that there were two people standing next to him, when he looked up, he saw Whitman smiled and said to McCain, "Mr. McCain, let me introduce to you, this is one of the most talented entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, Yiping Feng, Mr. Feng,"

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. McCain," Feng Yiping stood up with a smile, "I went to DC several times, but I haven't been able to see you. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"So you two know each other?" Whitman looked a little surprised.

Feng Yiping couldn't see her in this painting, as if you didn't know it.

Back then, Nextdoor worked with security agencies across the United States, relying on Buchanan, and Buchanan, and Whitman, have a common former owner, Romney.

Therefore, Feng Yiping said that after several appointments, he did not see McCain. It is not a lie. At the beginning, the development of nextdoor was so smooth. Not only did Romney contribute, the Senator McCain was also related to the photo.

Of course, it is certainly not free.

Buchanan is now tantamount to rebelling against the camp and joining the team of the newly elected Democratic senator O’Hare, so it’s really embarrassing to meet now.

But McCain, who has been a senator for almost 20 years, is naturally the kind of person who is indifferent from emotions and anger. He is very enthusiastic and smiles brightly. "Your company’s new product is really good. I saw you yesterday. With the information disclosed, we look forward to your early launch of those new features."

You actually read my reports yesterday. Are you really concerned about these things, or are you paying attention to me now for some reason?

"Thank you, and welcome to visit our park at your convenience." The two people chatted a few words, and Australian Prime Minister Howard and Tsny President Mkapa, who also wore glasses, walked in.

"Keep in touch," McCain made a call gesture and walked quickly to the podium.

Feng Yiping smiled brilliantly at Whitman, "Thank you for your introduction,"

Whitman also smiled, "You're welcome,"

It is estimated that she can see the meaning of "there must be a posterity" in Feng Yiping's words.

Feng Yiping believed that Whitman could not expect McCain to be at odds with Feng Yiping in such a public place.

However, this does not cost much, but it may produce some of the consequences she hopes. What's wrong with doing it smoothly?

Of course, Feng Yiping doesn't really matter. Don't look at him. He would call him Mr. McCain, but if he was in private, he would naturally call him John, adding an old word at most.

With his current capital, Romney and McCain are united and can't live with him. There may be some extra troubles, but he is really not afraid.

At home, we must maintain respect for those in power, but in the United States, especially those politicians who rely on elections to maintain their status, the rich are really not worried.

For example, the Koch brothers of Koch Enterprise, one of the largest private companies in the United States, have successively spent billions of dollars to fund their optimistic politicians.

With American businessmen, how could McCain and others make great efforts to fight Feng Yiping? If Feng Yiping is also a brother of the discipline, wouldn't he be caught blind?

What's more, isn't there a little Ohei who he strongly supports?

"Whitman," Cummins said while looking over there.

He naturally understands Buchanan's past, and naturally he will also know Whitman's introduction just now, not out of kindness.

Feng Yiping shook his head, "It's okay,"

It's still a long time!

…………

On the stage, the host has already introduced the current situation in Africa. In short, the two words are "poor" and "chaos", so in summary, it is just one word, "suffering."

Feng Yiping would quite agree with this introduction if he changed it, but now he shook his head a little.

It should be said that most people in China generally have an impression of Africa like this: vast deserts, dry grasslands that repeatedly appear in the animal world during the dry season, and a large number of wild animals.

Therefore, their natural environment is very poor, especially drought and hot weather, so the land is barren and no food can be grown, so they are poor and often famine, so wars often occur.

This understanding is really very one-sided.

The African desert is large. The area of ​​the Sahara is almost equal to the land area of ​​our country.

But is Africa really very dry? It's really not.

From Senegal to the south of Yemen, or to the south of the Sahara, it is by no means an absolutely arid place. The worst is actually roughly equivalent to the arid region of our northwest.

In Central Africa further south, drought is actually not a problem.

For a country that everyone may know, Congo, how much rainfall does it have every year? Roughly equivalent to Thailand, where will it be drought?

Let's talk about their land.

Veteran football fans should know about a country, Cameroon, who has been in the top 8 of the World Cup.

For them, because the climate is suitable and the rain is abundant, the result is that the crops you plant, once planted, can be harvested for several years.

For example, if you plant a cucumber seed in the spring, you can pick cucumbers almost every month for the next few years...

In such a good environment, you can expect them to cultivate intensively and meticulously. It is impossible. They are very extensive. Most of them don't even turn the land. Naturally, they use less fertilizer.

Pesticides are also used less, and the pests bred from such an environment are indeed powerful...

On the whole, because of their own hard work, their agricultural output is really not high.

In addition, natural disasters are always inevitable.

Sometimes, there will be a long period of drought, or in some years, the rainy season in some places will be delayed for a while. This is fine at first, but the more fatal problem is that the farmers there rarely have the habit of storing food. .

So once the drought rises, the consequences are quite serious.

There seems to be a saying that in sub-Saharan Africa, if the rainy season is postponed by one month, famine will begin to occur. If it is postponed for one and a half months, an additional 100,000 people will starve to death every day...

In this way, all kinds of wars, large and small, are naturally indispensable, which in turn will further magnify the problem..., this is a vicious circle.

Of course, there are also historical reasons. The plundering and colonization of European countries in those years, and other factors, such as geography and climate, but Feng Yiping from the perspective of a farmer and manager, they themselves did say Don't work hard~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although it sounds a bit unsympathetic, but I have to say that from a certain perspective, the poor person must have something hateful, which is not entirely unreasonable.

If they can realize it by themselves, it is obviously much more effective than relying on external assistance.

What's more, when so many debts are already owed, how can external assistance be so easy to get.

One content of this year's annual meeting is to discuss the issue of debt relief in Africa, which is also what Prime Minister Howard, who is more friendly to my country, is discussing at this time.

But his speech, heard throughout, is very dripping, and there is no specific statement at all.

McCain’s speech is also a way of saying, sympathetic, very sympathetic, worried, and very worried, but the reduction and exemption, in our domestic terms, naturally still needs "research and research," there are many procedures to go, there are many The situation needs to be verified.

Obviously, they can't donate as much as Bill Gates does with just one mouth. He is his own money.

Feng Yiping observed that President Mkapa did not seem to be too disappointed. They had already expected such a situation. This time, at least the entrepreneurs participating in the meeting have learned about the difficulties facing Africa.

The discussion came to an end for the time being, and the host concluded that it was time for questions.

Feng Yiping glanced at Cummins. They had a preparation problem this time. However, before Cummins raised his hand, someone in the back row stood up and said, "Wait,"

"Sorry, I want to say a few words first, can you?"

When Feng Yiping saw that woman, he felt a little upset, why did she also come?

He motioned to Cummins, Cummins nodded, boss, you go first.

But as soon as Feng Yiping stood up, he was noticed, "Mr. Feng,"
