April 18, 2009 - arguably the busiest day.

At the end of the opening ceremony at 10 a.m., Andy and many guests attended the luncheon hosted by the local government in the Dongyu Island banquet hall. On the VIP chairman's table, those who can sit beside Andy and Xiaofei's shoes are all dignitaries....

At the end of the lunch, Andy was invited to participate in two theme forums. In the evening, xiaofeixie will have a big dinner in the main venue on the second floor and deliver his speech.

Compared with the welcome luncheon at noon, this dinner is more abundant and luxurious, and there are many celebrities.

Before the dinner, Xiaofei shoes delivered a personal speech. Although it has been some time since he left office, the appearance of Xiaofei sho Fu at the theme dinner caused quite a stir.

All of them took out cameras and mobile phones to take photos of the little flying shoes with a smile, just like an entertainment star. As in many occasions, Xiaofei shoes have a relaxed expression. Before entering the theme of the speech, he used a lot of space to tell the participants about his growth experience, which attracted the laughter of the meeting. In his speech, Xiaofei shoes still showed the unique humor of Americans. For example, when talking about his successor aoguanhai, he said, "there are many critics, so I will not criticize him." it is implicit and meaningful.

A dinner party speech made Xiaofei shoes show different personal charm and become the hottest star in the forum, while in Boao, like Xiaofei shoes, it is naturally the richest man in the world, Andy Smith.

In the morning before the closing of the Forum on the 19th, when Andy held the sub Forum on the theme of "understanding the rise of the East", the venue with more than 500 seats was full.

In addition, the front row of the conference hall is almost full of Chinese and foreign politicians, even including the big guys whose hosts are very familiar with each other. This is quite different from the closing situation of the Boao Forum in the past. After all, every year, when the big people who attend the conference leave, the other participants will leave one after another, which makes the closing ceremony of the forum seem a little bit cold, but this year's discussion of sitting in the front row The leaders of the organizing committee don't have to worry, and the smile on their faces is more and more brilliant.

As soon as Andy appeared in the conference hall, he was clapped. Andy, with a bright smile on his face, walked calmly to the rostrum, stood in front of the big screen playing the theme of the speech, and slightly bowed to the audience below. Thank you for your applause.

"Thank you, thank you for coming..."

Before entering the theme of the speech, Andy used to make preparations for the "flattery" that didn't offend people.

"The world is changing at an amazing speed. This financial crisis affects the whole world. No country can deal with it alone. The same is true for the United States. Therefore, international cooperation is needed to overcome difficulties.

Here, I must especially emphasize the role of China in coping with the global financial crisis, such as the group of seven, the group of eight and so on, which can no longer be said to have "very significant representativeness", because in today's world, the absent negotiations of China are meaningless.

Pa pa pa -

there was a burst of warm applause at the scene. The big man in the front row of the audience was smiling and whispering something to the smiling little flying shoes. He clapped his hands. He had long known that the richest young man in the world on the stage was an important figure in the category of "friends".

When the applause subsided, Andy smiled and paced back and forth on the stage, continuing: "in the past 30 years, the changes in China have been" remarkable. ". The center of the world economy has "shifted from the Atlantic Ocean to the Asia Pacific region". The rapid economic development of China and other Asian countries has attracted world attention. This is also the origin of the "Oriental" theme of my speech today.

I'd like to ask you a question. What do you think of China? "

As soon as this question comes out, many people are slightly pondering, but Andy naturally won't let people get up to answer this question, but he said to himself with a smile: "some people will say that it's a country with a long history... China is very poor, but it seems to be developing very fast recently. Some people may say that Chinese food is unique. Others will say that China is a rising power. "

As he said, Andy pushed the remote control in his hand, and several charts appeared on the big screen behind him. Andy reached out to the big screen and indicated, "if you look at the above chart carefully, you will find that in 2025, these Goldman Sachs forecast reports will catch up with the U.S. economy tomorrow. If you look at the following chart in 2050, it predicts the sky North Korea's economy will be twice that of the United States, while India's economy will keep pace with that of the United States.

At this point, we should be clear that these charts were drawn before the financial crisis, but in the research report sent to me by my think tank, when can China become a larger economy than the United States? Goldman Sachs gave 2027, but the report of the think tank showed that the time is... 2020! "

as he said, Andy reached out to the 2020 number on the big screen. At this time, the conference hall had become silent. Everyone looked at Andy on the stage with burning eyes and listened to his every words carefully. Those Chinese and foreign politicians were even more solemn."In 2020, there are only 11 years to go. China will change the world in two ways.

On the one hand, China is a vast developing country with a population of 1.3 billion. It has been growing at a rate of about 10% every year for three decades and will become the largest economy in 11 years. This has never happened in modern times that developing countries have a larger economic scale than developing countries.

On the other hand, in modern times, the dominant country in the world, in my opinion, will be China, will not be a certain western country... "

Speaking of this, there was a slight commotion at the scene. Andy opened his arms and motioned slightly. He continued: "I know that there is a general view in the West that countries are constantly modernizing and Westernizing, but it is not the case.

There is a view that modernization is the general product of market, competition and technology. However, it is not only that, but also shaped by history and culture.

Unlike western countries, China will not develop like western countries. It will maintain differences in the most basic aspects. Obviously, the key issue now is how to understand the essence of China if we understand China. Generally speaking, the western countries are still understanding China in the traditional way, using our western thinking and Western concepts It doesn't work to look at China. It's different! "

"Buzzing -"

there was a low buzzing in the conference hall, and people began to talk to each other. The audience was no doubt not the elites from all walks of life. No matter the dignified faces of the Chinese people or the serious faces of foreign countries, Andy's series of words made it hard for the town to calm down, while the reporters on the scene were all red and crazy to take photos, Record this speech that will set off a storm all over the world.

“。。。 People who have a little knowledge of the dynasty know that it has a long history. From 221 B.C., the end of the Warring States period to the unification of the six kingdoms in the Qin Dynasty, it has always been a country with uninterrupted civilization. Maybe it is the decline of the dynasty in the past hundred years that makes Westerners deliberately ignore the glory of the history of the dynasty. This is a kind of wrong thinking. It's impossible to understand China with this kind of thinking

Then in the silent and attentive listening, Andy calmly began to analyze and explain from all aspects, and carried out the popularization of Chinese history and civilization in the most common language of Westerners.

“。。。 In general, the western world can insist on its own view that only by applying the experience of the western world and using the western view, the western thinking can understand China. If you want to know, why our view on China is so wrong and why we mispredict the future of China, the above is the answer! "

Wow -

there was a sudden uproar in the whole conference hall. The big guys in the front row looked at Andy Smith, who was talking. Their eyes became very bright, and their faces were as heavy as water, so that people could not see their mood at this moment.

"Unfortunately, I have to say that there is a little western ideology in the view of China, that is, some arrogant and conceited people think that we are the best, so they think that western ideological policies are universal in the world?

Secondly, ignorance. We don't want to face the problem of difference...... “
