Chapter 31 You don't believe me when I tell you I'm a traveler

"Do you think you can't understand the view that 'all the debate topics that follow current affairs are not easy to design fairly'?" Faced with Ding Lihui's question, Feng Jianxiong confirmed it first.

It’s not that he was upset, but that he thought that this view was easy to understand and could not be taken for granted.

Ding Lihui made a clear affirmation: "Well, just for this, can you tell me in detail?"

Feng Jianxiong used his left index finger to support his glasses that were sliding down from his ear due to sweat, and scratched his temples with the expression "I don't understand this, it's hard for me to explain to you with your IQ."

After thinking for a while, he decided to change his in-depth and easy-to-understand statement: "Let's do this, for the sake of easy-to-understand, I will give two examples of my predecessors to illustrate - Senior Sister Ding should have some understanding of international college debates, right?"

Ding Lihui: "It's okay, it's reported every year."

Feng Jianxiong sighed relieved: "That's easy to deal with. 15 years ago, when this event was just exposed to our mainland schools - it was 1990. In that final, the match between Jinling University and Wanwan University, debating the question of "Is it possible for humans to live in peace?" In the end, Jinling University lost to Wanwan University. Do you still have the impression?"

"Uh...I don't know, can you literate?"

Ding Lihui said, and suddenly felt a little discouraged: Damn, can you not take such an indifferent knowledge as what others should know for granted! It’s so deceptive!

Feng Jianxiong: "Okay, then I'll make a long story short: At that time, the international college debate system did not ask cross-questions, only three minutes of speeches on each side and each debater, plus free debate. So it's easy to make preparations in a routine manner and progress through layer by layer. In the first few rounds, Jinling University relied on pre-match preparations and won the division of labor and cooperation, but in the final, it was obviously stiff and stiff, and finally lost.

But what I want to say today is: As the positive side, Jinling University actually lost a pity, because they lost to the times to a considerable extent: In that game, an important argument that Jinling University repeatedly argued was that "economic globalization, including the globalization of the market and the globalization of investment in developed countries, can reduce the probability of human beings resolving disputes by war as a means."

Specifically, the view is that after capitalist powers have a large amount of overseas investment around the world, they are less willing to invade these countries by force to avoid damage to their overseas investment. At the same time, they are less willing to cause countries with huge domestic markets to no longer purchase their goods due to war.

Over time, wars will become less and less. Even if there are a few countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya that are still in war, it is just because they do not embrace economic globalization and do not integrate into global division of labor. This principle should be easy for us today to understand."

When Feng Jianxiong said this, he paused for a moment so that Ding Lihui could digest what had just happened.

After Ding Lihui figured it out, she asked the supporting actor: "Well, there is nothing wrong with it. This is indeed the reason - why did Jinling University lose at that time?"

Feng Jianxiong took a sip of water and talked: "Because the timing of this debate topic was wrong. At that time, in order to debate the economic globalization was conducive to peace, Jinling University gave an example of the fall of the Berlin wall, citing that "Napoleon and the Head of State tried to integrate Europe by force again and again, but both failed. However, today, after the unification of the two Germanys tried to use economic means to erode the entire European market, but had a trend of success" as an example.

But unfortunately, in August 1990, the two Germanys had just been unified. The European Community, the predecessor of the EU, has not seen the effect of Germany's economic unification of Europe and ensuring that there will be no more war in Europe.

So the Wanwan University team used the "Ununification of Germany and the European Community" and "Although Mandela was released from prison, there was no prospect for the South African race-problem solution." This situation was so stubborn and won the game. In fact, three years later, Mandela became the president of South Africa and realized the non-violent solution predicted by the Jinling University team back then.

Of course, in that game that year, Jinling University's biggest weakness was that it failed to predict the demise of the Soviet Union. They spent a lot of time saying that the world was shifting from confrontation to dialogue, the economy was also globalized, and investment was internationalized, but they dared not say that the Soviet system would inevitably perish.

The Soviet Union took a year to perish. In this way, while the world is still in the Cold War, and the Warsaw Pact still has a situation where the People's Congress holds up there, all arguments that try to prove that the world will be unified with economic liberalism will become a bubble. Who can believe that the countries behind the Iron Curtain will also integrate into a world where "not wanting to fight because they look at money"?"

Hearing this, Ding Lihui couldn't help but look at her eyes, and she began to write quickly on the secretary's notes in a flash.

"I understand! You want to say that on some debate topics that follow current hot topics, the ability to make strict predictions and prospects for the future will be of great help to the outcome of the debate topic, right? If the game of that year was delayed by one year, Jinling University would definitely beat Wanwan University, right? Even if it is not postponed, as long as the Jinling University team can rigorously prove that the Soviet Union will perish, they can win the game. Is that what does that mean?"

Feng Jianxiong predicted calmly: "It's almost the same, but your first assumption is impossible. Because if you delay a year later, the whole world will see the demise of the Soviet Union, and this debate topic is not qualified to be used as the topic of the finals of the international college debate - the Soviet Union is burping, and everyone on earth knows that the 'bright destiny' of globalization will definitely reduce wars. What else can I argue about? Unless one day the dictator Tang... uh, sorry, missed the tongue."

Feng Jianxiong quickly picked up the cup and pretended to drink water to suppress his shock. He thought to himself that he did not tell the wave of anti-globalization that he had seen in 2020.

"Who is the dictator Tang?" Ding Lihui looked at Feng Jianxiong suspiciously, trying to dig something out of the other party's expression, but failed.

She forced herself to calm down as soon as possible and returned to the main topic. She sorted out Feng Jianxiong's words just now and concluded: "So, do you think the reason why you won today's game is because your team members have a more thorough outlook on the future trend than their opponents?

Or more simply, because any debate topics related to the development of the Internet media form are closely related to future prospects. And you have just studied the future and feel that you can predict the future?"

Feng Jianxiong took the pot in a coquettish manner: "Yes, I actually want to tell you: I came back from the world 15 years later, so I know everything about the prospects for the next 15 years - unfortunately, no one believes me."

"Hiss--I'm really not humble." Ding Lihui lost her mind for a moment and even directly expressed her inner psychological activities.

But there was nothing we could do. Feng Jianxiong's crazy and cool statement just now was too shocking.

"Then... do you think it's natural that the New Transmission Institute has been destroyed today?"

"Of course, it has nothing to do with their strength. They did not do anything wrong on the field. The only mistake was that they actually argued with me about a debate topic involving future prospects - IMHO, the current Earthlings, as long as they debate topics related to future prospects with me, no matter who they are, they will lose."

"Uh...well, I will put this sentence in the entertainment program period. If there is an entertainment program on the school station after National Day." Ding Lihui smiled awkwardly, and she had completely regarded Feng Jianxiong's words as a joke between boys and girls, chatting and spanking and bragging.

She recounted a few more words to Yu Meiqin, then stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you for accepting the interview. I'm going to rush back to edit the program soon. If you don't rush to leave school in the afternoon, you are welcome to listen on time at 3:30."

"Oh, this world tells others that I am a time traveler, and those who know the truth should regard labor and capital as a limit. As a result, no one believes me. I am so lonely as snow." Feng Jianxiong was deeply moved.

Watching Ding Lihui walk to the door of the lounge, he suddenly thought of a question, and asked: "Senior Sister Ding, can you ask you a private question?"

Ding Lihui held the door frame and looked back with a hint of a smile: "What? A personal question? Do you want to ask me if I'm a solo person?"

"Of course not-I heard from Sister Mikoto that you thought about changing majors like her last year. Why did you not study the broadcasting and hosting well, but instead want to learn to direct? I was just a little curious."

Ding Lihui replied kindly: "Little brother, the media circle is not as simple as you think. Being an anchor is indeed easy to take shortcuts and become popular, but there are also many right and wrong. Understand more work behind the scenes and have some confidence and a way out."

After saying that, Ding Lihui left without looking back, and no one saw the loneliness of memories flashing through her expression.

"So that's how it is..." Feng saw Xiong thinking, and he also packed up his things and prepared to flash his head.

"Who is it?" Yu Meiqin, who was walking side by side with him, poked his arm and asked softly.

Feng Jianxiong shrugged: "That's not easy to understand? Being a female anchor is easy to be a director who is a director. Learn how to be a behind-the-scenes director by yourself and slowly get up. Although you can't make quick money, you can't climb quickly. At least you don't have to be stuck by others."

"So? She has never told me, so I didn't think about that." Yu Meiqin was obviously reminded to understand this possibility just now, and was a little surprised. The brief interactions last year have always made Yu Meiqin feel that Ding Lihui must be more relaxed than her.
