Arriving at Wei's house, Zhou Chen met Wei Zhuo's father and aunt. In fact, this was their first official meeting. Although they had talked on the phone before, they had never met in person.
Wei Zhuo's father is in his fifties. For his position, he is not too old and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Wei Zhuo's aunt was younger, in her forties. The two of them did not look down on Zhou Chen because of his age, but were very polite and enthusiastic.
Although they hold high positions, Zhou Chen is different. Zhou Chen is a big businessman in the United States. He is a popular type no matter where he goes. What's more, Zhou Chen is only in his twenties and has unlimited possibilities in the future. For such a young man,
People, even if they have friendship, must still be polite.
Zhou Chen had a dinner at Wei's house and chatted with Wei Zhuo's father and aunt for a long time before returning to the hotel.
This time in Shanghai, in addition to meeting Wei Zhuo's father and the others, he also had work. In addition, he also had to participate in a talk show. This was something he had promised Wei Zhuo's father before returning to China. He mainly used his
Fame to increase the popularity of local TV stations.
The interview program he participated in this time is called "Interview with Ma Lan". This interview program is one of the top interview programs nationwide and is broadcast by Tomato Channel.
This program reminded Zhou Chen of an interview program in the real world. It was very similar. They were programs that interviewed celebrities and elites from various industries.
Zhou Chen is now not only a domestic celebrity, but also a celebrity all over the world. He is also a top rich man, and his influence is comparable to that of superstars in the sports world.
Young, talented, handsome, rich, the light of the Chinese people, the top rich man...
Zhou Chen has one name after another on his head, especially because of his age. People who admire him include three generations of old, middle and young people, and he is the dream lover of countless women. The influence of such a celebrity interview can be imagined
And know.
After Zhou Chen was confirmed to be interviewed, Tomato Channel had already started to build momentum. After so many days, almost all viewers who followed Tomato Channel knew about this matter, and it quickly spread at a viral speed. Every day
There were many calls to the TV station asking about the situation.
When Zhou Chen learned about this from Wei Zhuo, he was also very surprised. He knew that he had attracted a lot of attention because of the Forbes rich list, but he did not expect that he would be so popular in China.
"The money effect, you are the youngest new rich man on the global rich list, and the richest Chinese man after Li Chaoren. The most crazy thing in this world is money. People like you participate in interviews
, how could it not attract attention."
Wei Zhuo expressed his opinion. If he was not on good terms with Zhou Chen, but was a stranger, he would definitely be very interested when he learned that Zhou Chen would participate in the interview. He wanted to see what Zhou Chen's interview would be like.
.
Because too many people asked and the popularity was too high, Tomato Channel temporarily adjusted the broadcast time of the interview and temporarily adjusted the program to the prime time of this day.
The interview program will naturally not be broadcast live, but will be recorded and broadcast. The interview will be conducted first, and will be broadcast on the TV station after editing.
On the day of recording the program, Zhou Chen came to the TV station. The leaders of the Tomato Channel came and warmly welcomed Zhou Chen. After greeting him for a while, he was ready to start recording.
Before recording the program, Zhou Chen also met the famous host Ms. Ma Lan. She greeted Zhou Chen in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and then showed Zhou Chen the questions to be asked when recording the program later, so that Zhou Chen could prepare in advance.
"Mr. Zhou, if you have any inconvenience with these problems, you can tell us in advance so that we can replace it."
Zhou Chen read it over and picked out two questions: "Just cross out these two, the others are fine."
The person in charge of the program took a look and naturally had no objections and agreed with Zhou Chen's decision.
Ma Lan then said: "During the recording of the program, sometimes we may not ask one question step by step, and sometimes it may be extended. If Mr. Zhou is unwilling to answer, it can be explained that we edited it later.
It will be cut off sometimes, and..."
Listening to the other party talking about the precautions for recording the program, Zhou Chen nodded.
"No problem, it's decided."
Recording a program is nothing new to him. He has met leaders of many countries, so why would he worry about a talk show?
Zhou Chen spent the whole afternoon recording the program. Although he recorded for several hours, the final playback time was not more than an hour.
After the recording, the TV station started editing. After it was completed, Zhou Chen watched it again. After confirming it, it was ready to be broadcast at prime time this Saturday night.
Saturday soon came, and that night, many people stayed in front of the TV, turning on Tomato TV, ready to watch the interview with Ma Lan.
With the arrival of the prime time period, the interview with Ma Lan officially begins. Because many people are watching this program for the first time, they are very curious and start watching from the beginning.
Wang Ying, who is far away in San Francisco, also accompanies her grandparents to watch Zhou Chen's program on the Internet.
There were even more people watching in China, especially acquaintances with Zhou Chen, who basically tuned into the Tomato channel on time.
At the beginning, the host Ma Lan appeared. Under her narration, she introduced the changes in the domestic capital over the years, focusing on a few photos of a certain alley.
In the Capital Pancake Monster Shop, Qin Chuan, Xie Qiao, He Xiaozhou, Xiao Qianxi and others gathered together and looked at the TV in the shop. When they saw the photos of the alley, Qin Chuan and the three of them exclaimed.
"Qinchuan, Brother Xiaochuan, look, is this the Denghua Hutong we used to have?"
"Yes, absolutely. I remember the location in the photo very clearly. It is definitely our former Denghua Hutong."
"I also remember that these photos are indeed photos of Denghua Hutong. I didn't expect this program to be so careful and even find photos of our Denghua Hutong."
There are many people like them who used to live in Denghua Hutong, and they all look nostalgic when they see these photos.
People will miss the past, because in many people's hearts, the past is beautiful, and the past can no longer be possessed.
On the TV, the scene quickly changed and a video appeared. This was a video shot of Chinatown in San Francisco. Many Chinese and foreigners could be seen in the video. The video was not long, but it also allowed many Chinese people to see Chinatown.
bustling.
As the video ended, the host Ma Lan began his own explanation and also talked about the interviewees for this show.
"...He is Zhou Chen, a Chinese from Chinatown in San Francisco, America, the chairman and general manager of Chenxing Capital, the chairman of Chenxing Pharmaceutical Group, and a patriotic Chinese."
"Zhou Chen, whose ancestral home is the capital city of China, was born in a hutong with the characteristics of the old times..., and emigrated abroad at the age of thirteen..., graduated from Stanford University in the United States, and went to Beiqing University as an exchange student for two years in 2001. Chen Xing
Capital is founded on…”
Ma Lan talked a lot about Zhou Chen in one breath, including many positive compliments. Even people who didn't know Zhou Chen could understand how outstanding Zhou Chen was after listening to his narration.
of young top tycoons.
"Now let's get into the topic, please..."
As soon as the screen turned, they came to a space full of bookish atmosphere. The hosts Ma Lan and Zhou Chen sat opposite each other on a single sofa.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
"Hello, host."
"It's a pleasure to interview you. Speaking of which, I am also an admirer of Mr. Zhou..."
The host Ma Lan is obviously a well-spoken person. Even when facing Zhou Chen, he is neither humble nor overbearing, very polite, and he speaks very nicely.
Because the person being interviewed today, Zhou Chen, is a very young man, she is not as serious as the previous interviews, but is relatively light-hearted. This is what the station discussed with Zhou Chen before recording the program. It was said that it was an interview.
But it is actually a kind of communication, allowing the audience to understand Zhou Chen more clearly.
So this interview is not only about professional content, but also a lot about Zhou Chen’s personal matters, which is even a bit entertaining.
After all, this is temporarily set to prime time broadcast, and many viewers are young people. Most of them don't care about professional knowledge, but they are more interested in gossip.
I asked a few innocuous questions at first, and then slowly got into the topic.
"Mr. Zhou, a few months ago, your name was included in the Forbes list of the world's richest people, and you became the 30th richest man in the world. How do you feel about this?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile on his face: "There are many thoughts, but I think the most serious thing is that it has brought me a lot of trouble. Friends who know me well know that I am a relatively low-key person, but this
As soon as the list came out, I was immediately at the forefront of the limelight, and I couldn't keep a low profile even if I wanted to."
Ma Lan showed a kind smile: "This time the list has indeed made Mr. Zhou famous, but many of us only knew you last year. In the eyes of many of us, you are a patriotic hero and a true philanthropist."
Home."
"I can't be called a hero, and I can't be called a philanthropist. But when it comes to patriotism, I'm not humble, haha. At that time, I was just doing what I could. I couldn't save people, but I still had some money.
, so I donated it without thinking much at the time.”
"Mr. Zhou is so humble. There are many people who donate, but there are very few like you."
"No, on the contrary, I think there are actually many people like me, but they don't have that much money. If they have that much money like me, they will definitely support the country like me."
"…………"
This topic was quickly dismissed and moved on to the next topic.
"Mr. Zhou, we have all heard that you started from scratch and created your current wealth. Would you mind sharing the secret of your success with us?"
"There is indeed a secret to success, but everyone's secret is different. But let me summarize, there are several things that make me successful: knowledge, diligence, confidence and noble people."
"There is a saying that I agree with very much. It is difficult for a person to make money beyond his own knowledge. The knowledge I understand is knowledge. Only with enough knowledge can you make the money you can, except for luck of course.
, there is no such thing as luck, but it is impossible for someone to make money by relying on luck all the time, I believe everyone should agree with this."
