Chapter 186 Master Lu has the attitude of a master

New York, Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Dong Jianguo, wearing a red scarf and combing his golden lion hair, brought his most beloved daughter, Ivanka, to the donkey party's senior reception.

Stepping into the golden banquet hall, the political, financial, media circles, and business circles are everywhere, and the worst people are also the elite of the elite.

I saw a group of people getting together, and Friedman in the center was like a dazzling new star, talking about globalization everywhere in the conversation, and talking about the flat world everywhere.

"Tch, isn't the world round?"

"Fatzer, "The World Is Flat" is a bestseller." Ivanka reminded softly.

"I understand, of course I understand. No one understands me as a bestseller. My "The Art of Doing Business" is also a bestseller, and it has been in the "New York Times" for more than [-] weeks."

Dong Jianguo looked arrogant, "How old is it?"

I said so, but I still read some books, because members of Congress all over the United States are talking about it, and it seems to have become a popular Internet celebrity phenomenon. If you don’t understand it, it seems outdated.

I sneered at the mention in the book that the President of the United States will rely more and more on the power of the Internet to ascend to the Iron Throne in the future.

Nonsense, the Internet can still run for president?

This Chinese person doesn't understand the politics of the United States, and my big America has its own national conditions!
But I absolutely agree with Lu Fei's prophecy about American real estate. He is a real estate tycoon, and no one knows real estate better than him.

After the dot-com bubble, the American economy fell into recession, and there was an urgent need to find a new growth point, and this point was real estate.

"Although Dubya launched the 'Home Ownership Program', the Fed is also cutting interest rates, lowering the federal funds rate, but-"

The vice president of Lehman Brothers was holding champagne, "People didn't try their best to get loans to buy houses, and they didn't stimulate the economy. Thomas, this seems to be different from your prediction."

"The Internet will change many things, music, literature, media, shopping, and of course finance."

Fried slammed his mouth, thanks to such a question, he had already talked with Lu Fei, and he was already prepared.

"Why not include insurance?"

"Insurance? Do what..."

The vice president of Lehman was stunned for a moment. He thought it was nonsense at first, but when he thought about his words carefully, he vaguely thought that his father's subprime mortgages were made into insurance wealth management, and even made into bonds to double the leverage.

He was enlightened immediately, "Thomas, you are worthy of being a master, I understand!"

Friedman was also in a daze, completely unaware of how big the mine that Lu Fei buried was, but under the admiring eyes of everyone, he said in a fluttering voice:

"This is Internet financial innovation."

"Yes, financial innovation!"

The vice president of Lehman toasted excitedly, "I will recommend the book "The World Is Flat" to everyone in the company."

"Thanks and cheers."

Friedman showed a satisfied smile. The reason why their co-authoring caused a sensation is precisely because they took the route of the upper class elite.

Members of the federal and state governments, as well as various politicians, scholars, and business leaders, many bought, read, and even recommended this book.

The top is good, the bottom is effective.

Just like stockings, wigs, and perfume, celebrities and high-level executives read "The World Is Flat", and employees also follow fashion closely, almost forming a trend.

Friedman was interviewed like a revolving door on TV, talking about globalization 1.0 and shutting down about web2.0, and he did not forget to praise Lu Fei.

The popularity of Feigo.com and Penguin in North American IT circles, financial circles, and even political circles has skyrocketed, and Amazon and Microsoft are not stingy in exerting influence.

The book not only praises Feigou and Penguins, but also praises them.

In an interview with "Business Weekly", Bill Gates specifically mentioned that all MBA students must read "The World Is Flat".

Jeff Bezos is simply making a special recommendation. Amazon's tweet is "This book is a must-read for all decision makers and corporate employees."

In another week, it directly reached the top of the weekly bestseller lists of The New York Times, Amazon Bookstore, and Business Weekly. All three lists ranked first.

The 10 copies that were reprinted for the second time were sold out in an instant, and 25 copies were sold in two weeks. The third time, the number of reprints was increased to 50 copies.

Such a big movement shocked the "People's Daily" overseas resident reporters, and even the embassy in the United States.

After hearing the news, they immediately regarded it as big news with high elation, and wrote a special book. You must know that the sales volume of books written by Chinese people in the United States has hardly exceeded [-].

Especially in the millennium, Chinese people are extremely inferior and admire the beauty. If a certain field is recognized by foreign countries, it must be celebrated with drums and gongs.

The Overseas Edition of "People's Daily" boasted very restrainedly: "The book "The World Is Flat" written by Lu Fei, chairman of my country Feigou.com, has set off a wave of enthusiasm in Europe and the United States in the past two weeks, from governors to students. People don't read it, among them Bill Gates has publicly praised Lu Fei and his works on various occasions, directly quoting opinions...

According to reliable sources, Bill Gates hopes to meet Lu Fei face-to-face on his next visit to China and conduct an interview with him on future technology. "

"Hua Guo Daily" directly started blowing: "One of the signs of a great book is that it allows you to see things from a new perspective, and Lu Fei and Friedman's "The World Is Flat" obviously succeeded in doing this.

After selling 35 copies in North America, both newspapers and TV stations gave Friedman the title of "Trend Master", and Lu Fei also won this honor. "

Newspapers across the country reported it in this way, and the news spread to the whole country. Newspapers large and small from the north and the south followed suit.

Lu Fei's rhythm is second only to Mo Yan's Nobel Prize.

"A Fei, what kind of book are you writing?"

Xu Lei opened his mouth wide, stared wide-eyed, and stared straight at Lu Fei. He thought he was standing on the top of a mountain, but he didn't expect to be standing in the atmosphere.

"calm down."

Lu Fei pressed his hands down, and calmly arranged the tasks of publicity, listing, and distribution of the Chinese version of "The World Is Flat".

"The pre-sale is tentatively set at 10 copies, to test the market reaction."

Just as Liu Weidong and the others regained their composure, they were startled and terrified. Co-authoring "Meteor Garden" is just a small skill, but this book is the big one.

Such an identity, such public opinion, must not take off!
While everyone was excited, Tao Yao knocked on the door.

"President Lu, Minister Kong from Peking University is here to visit you."

"Invite him in." Lu Fei smiled.

"A Fei, it's amazing, it's amazing!"

Minister Kong rushed over excitedly, carrying the sample book translated and modified by the publishing house.

Lu Fei said: "Thank you, Brother Kong, the communication with Friedman was unexpected, and I didn't expect such a good result."

"Humble, too humble."

Minister Kong's face was full of smiles, and it sold well in Europe and the United States like this. Two or three million copies are just around the corner. This kind of achievement is rare even in the Republic of China, let alone Jingda Shuimu.

"If it weren't for your identity and age, it would be no problem to call you 'Master' and let you be a visiting professor at Peking University!"

Lu Fei half-jokingly said: "Then Brother Kong, are you going to change your name to Principal Kong soon?"

"Vice-principal, the vice-principal who is at the bottom of the ranking, has just passed the horoscope."

When Minister Kong mentioned this, he smiled even brighter.

Although he can be regarded as a young leader of Beijing University, but after sitting in the party's propaganda department for so long, he thought he had to get seniority, and he worked hard for 5 or 8 years before he could get up.

"Before the book is released, arrange for you to give a speech at "Let's Talk"?"

Lu Fei was modest: "I'll wait for Friedman to come to China, and I'll be with him."

Minister Kong said sincerely: ""Let's Talk" only needs one speaker, what are you two doing together, you are from Huaxia, of course you have to come first for this kind of limelight, besides, you can be regarded as starting a business from Beijing University, and the fat will not flow Outsider field."

Lu Fei no longer refuses, and does his part.

Minister Kong went a step further and hinted frantically: "Also, hey, have you considered studying for a master's degree or a Ph.D. Yes, but you must choose Beijing University. We are a family, and we can discuss everything."

"Can you negotiate anything?"

"That's right, anything is possible!"

Minister Kong obviously received some kind of order, very much like trying to win the provincial champion in the college entrance examination.

Seeing this, Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, but then he thought about his status as some opera actors don't need a written test.

Master Lu is able to go because he is giving the school face!
