Chapter 716: Practice leads to truth.
When Yang Baihe spoke, the American reporter had to sit down angrily. Regardless, reporters are all in plaster, and it's not too late for them to find fault with what was said after breaking the news.
Only……
Huge Industrial Monster has just revealed that means continuing to promote the remote driving feature, so what's the announcement?
"Now Mr. Ye will speak for everyone." Yang Baihe elegantly waved at Ye Qing.
Applause sounded again, but only the Chinese media applauded, not all of them. It seems that the blow-for-blow with the Americans earlier, in addition to provoking the Americans, also caused some Chinese media to have opinions in their hearts.
When the scene became calm again, Ye Qing smiled lightly into the microphone: "To be honest, I haven't quite understood what I wanted to express in Time Magazine until now. But the smell inside, I've already smelled it."
That said, Ye Qing took the magazine to the side and showed it to the media.
"Excuse me, Mr. Ye, how does this week's magazine taste?" A reporter from China urgently raised his hand to ask.
"The smell of vinegar."
The Chinese media suddenly burst out laughing, the joke puzzled foreign reporters, and the US representative was even more innocent.
"Okay, let's get down to business," Ye Qing took a deep breath and stopped smiling: "I'm not joking with everyone by inviting everyone to the press conference this time. We want to use the channels of each of you to announce something to the Chinese media, to the American media, and to the American government, who are concerned about traffic safety issues in China."
"The remote driving function, we will not give up. And we will review and approve the remote driving project again in three days."
As soon as the news broke, the media nearly exploded. No matter if the Huge Industrial Monster does not give up the remote driving function, it must proceed to project approval for the second time three days later. Now, the hot spot of public opinion all over the country is focused on this, and countless Chinese oppose this project, which means the Huge Industrial Monster is trying to go against the public opinion!
"Excuse me; is the Huge Industrial Monster confident in this statement?" The Tencent News reporter was the first to raise his hand.
"Complete preparation and the hard work of many top engineers make me firmly believe that this application can be successful."
"Mr. Ye is so sure, can we understand your company made some kind of agreement with the transportation department?" The American journalist just jumped again, with a thorn in his words.
The national media are all in awe. This American journalist dared to go on the offensive again and again against the Huge Industrial Monster. It's really ignorant and terrible. If it was them, they certainly wouldn't dare to face it.
"What about your opinion?" Ye Qing shot an encouraging evil look at the American reporter, and the latter closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Are there any reporters from Time magazine here?"
Ye Qing looked at the media reporters sitting below and finally met a ducking pair of eyes. Time magazine is the birthplace of this hotspot of public opinion, how could it not send reporters there?
"I'm Hadlow, and I'm a reporter from Time Magazine, can I ask Mr. Ye, what do you mean?"
"I want to ask you a question," Ye Qing lifted the cover of Time magazine: "What is the basis for you to say the Huge Industrial Monster is a feudal technology empire that disregards people's safety?"
"This..." Reporter Hadlow squeaked and finally said the tagline was unwritten by him, and the cover editor had to ask the cover editor for a specific response.
"Mr. Bissell, the Department of Commerce representative, I also want to ask you a question."
Bissell, who was seated in the front row, watched with a nervous expression.
"Your Ministry of Commerce, on what basis does it believe that the remote driving function will destroy China's traffic laws and negatively impact people's travel safety? I want a science-based answer. You don't want to learn from some reporters, and you like to make assumptions everywhere. Since your Ministry of Commerce issued an official statement, there isn't even a scientific and reasonable basis for that is there? "
Bissell's forehead was slightly sweaty, this is the second time he's been asked this question. As an official representative, of course, he cannot imitate these American journalists and make excuses for some random reason. Otherwise, if he expands, he will lose all the face of the Ministry of Commerce. This young president, too, repeatedly shamed him. It's the Department of Commerce that offends him, not him Bissell...
"We in China have a very famous modern proverb. (Practice is the only test of truth.).
"I'll give you this sentence to the US Department of Commerce, as well as Time Magazine," Ye Qing looked a little serious: "Since the truth must be tested by practice, you might as well make the whole test more scientific and more transparent. So I have a proposal!"
......
At 11:00 a.m., Huge Industrial Monster's press conference ended.
Usually, when the press conference is over, reporters and media rush out. They have to rush to prepare reports related to the conference. But this time there were a few exceptions. The press conference has been over for a few minutes, and several speakers from Huge Industrial Monster also greeted everyone and left, and these reporters were still sitting in their seats, they were a little lost.
"Overbearing, too overbearing."
The Sohu News reporter sat on the chair and looked at the few people in front of them playfully, and laughed when he saw the American reporter lose: "It turns out that I participated in a major event A press conference or a press conference of a big company, at what point are these foreign reporters not all held in the hands of the masters?"
……
For news interviews conducted by foreign reporters, the news will naturally be sent overseas.
Therefore, large domestic enterprises paid special attention to the hospitality of foreign journalists and paid double the travel and horse expenses, lest poor service would make these foreign journalists resentful in their hearts, and then added fuel to information and described it in the dark and once it happened they couldn't make it up even if they wanted to fix it. After all, the news was published overseas, and its reputation got bad overseas. No matter how long their hands are, they can't reach them. No one thought the Huge Industrial Monster wouldn't care about them at all!
……
"Ha ha~ Huge Industrial Monster is unused to this, now their expressions just make me laugh out loud."
The aide next to him laughed: "Especially when Chairman Ye said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, it was just that moment of the press conference, the best moment of my life."
"Yeah, those American reporters will just play tricks. When they meet the Huge Industrial Monster, they immediately show their originality."
"This..."
The assistant was so embarrassed that he kept scratching his head: "It seems that our report yesterday also followed the reviews of Huge Industrial Monster."
"Uh ~ So, let's quickly go back to the newspaper and bring the news from the press conference to a low-key position. Now it's fun to wait three days. Later when the Huge Industrial Monster's remote driving function will be successfully approved, the US Department of Commerce and Time magazine will have puffy faces in front of everyone."
"Representatives from the US Department of Commerce in the front row were staring at each other. I saw them while you were staring at me."
"Sir, what should we do?" The assistant accompanying Bissell cast his expectations on him.
"Don't look at me like that. I can't control this matter, I can only give the Minister a headache."
