the applause lasted for a long time. No one counted. After a few minutes, Yang Guo repeatedly turned back and bowed. Finally, it was Mr. Anderson, the founder of Ted, who pulled Yang Guo back to the stage and made a look like he wanted to talk with Yang Guo. The applause gradually stopped.
"Leon, thank you for sharing!" Anderson smiled, patted Yang Guo on the shoulder and said.
It is not uncommon for Mr. Anderson to chat with the speaker after his speech. In these two days, as long as he is recognized by everyone for his innovative or breakthrough ideas, he will personally come to the stage.
This is also a gratitude to the speaker!
The old man is tall and thin, with some gray hair, but his blue eyes are bright.
He himself is also a speaker. Under the grasp of an expert, Ted has become the world's most profound and extensive speech event. Many world celebrities are willing to come here to share their thoughts.
"Thank you, Mr. Anderson!" Foreigners don't need too much etiquette. Yang Guo just smiled and said calmly, "I appreciate your invitation. You know, this is really a surprise!"
"No, you are a full surprise to us. Seeing how magical thoughts you bring, I think all our listeners pay high tribute to your sharing, because you bring hope to that poor land." Mr. Anderson opened his hands and said.
His voice fell, and soon many people applauded.
"Thank you! As Ted said, ideas_worth_spreading, with my ability alone or several people, can't change the current situation of poverty in Africa, nor can I spread the light of education to every corner of poverty."
Yang Guo paused, and then looked at nearly a thousand spectators on the scene. Lang Sheng said, "but in Ted, if I spread this model of distance education and the idea of public welfare, with hundreds of millions of audiences in Ted, more people and more fund NGOs will join."
"Do you mean that everyone can help African children with your distance education model?" Asked Mr Anderson.
"Of course, not only children in Africa, but also children all over the world should receive education, whether traditional education or distance education. The idea of public welfare is open and shared! I am very willing to communicate with organizations willing to invest in educational public welfare, and I am also very willing to see the value of distance education in other public welfare organizations or countries."
"Great! Really!" Mr. Anderson patted Yang Guo on the shoulder and said, "Leon, it's no exaggeration to say that your speech is one of the most impressive speeches I've ever heard, and one of the most powerful ones that shocked my heart!"
Mr. Anderson's high evaluation is also the first time in the history of Ted conference, but no one will refute Mr. Anderson's appreciation, because they also feel the same in their hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's thank Leon young again with warm applause!" Mr. Anderson took the lead in clapping, and then the applause continued until Yang Guo walked off the stage under the guidance of Mr. Anderson.
Yang Guo's mood at the moment is also exciting. He has prepared a lot for this speech, but he didn't know that he would achieve such a great success. But looking at the eyes of every applauding audience, Yang Guo's heart is full of power.
What Yang Guo didn't know more was that before he returned to China, the video of this speech had been posted on major video websites at home and abroad, and the number of hits exceeded 100 million in just one day. On the second and third days, under the reports of major media, the number of hits of this video increased at the rate of exponential function.
You know, this is a video of a speech that is praised by people as someone who likes it and those who don't like it don't even look at it!
It doesn't make sense to explain with the influence of Yang Guo to get such a high number of clicks. It can only be said that Yang Guo's speech is really impressive, and his concept has indeed received the support of many audiences!
Not to mention the attention paid to Yang Guo's speech on the Internet, at the closing of the Ted Conference on the afternoon of the third day, Yang Guo and two other speakers took today's Ted conference award from Mr. Anderson at the closing ceremony!
In fact, when Mr. Anderson made such a high evaluation yesterday, there was no suspense about Yang Guo's award, but today's award ceremony also announced several things that surprised and touched Yang Guo!
You know, the three winners of the annual Ted conference, in addition to the bonus, can get the support of Ted, and the organization of Ted will help the winners realize their ideas.
The more famous is Mr. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, the world's richest man, who often visits the Ted conference. He often sponsors speakers to realize their ideas at the Ted conference.
After Yang Guo received the award, Mr. Anderson solemnly announced that several rich people, including Mr. Bill Gates, jointly invested 500 million meters of gold to establish the global distance education charity fund.
500 million meters of gold! This converted into RMB is already a huge amount of funds of more than 3 billion, not to mention Yang Guo's own charity fund is not so much, even if the current domestic government investment in distance education is not more than 3 billion!
This is just the contribution of a few rich people. If we publicize it and rely on the influence of these rich people, we believe that there will be more donations recorded.
Yang Guo is invited to serve as the general adviser and spokesperson of the foundation, and cooperate with NGOs all over the world who volunteer to participate in charity education, starting from Africa, to devote themselves to the education assistance of poor children around the world.
Yang Guo certainly won't refuse this invitation. The general consultant is mainly because Yang Guo put forward this idea, and Yang Guo really has the ability to communicate with people all over the world.
The spokesperson is a little interesting. Yang Guo is not a star, but it is undeniable that Yang Guo has a good influence all over the world, and this influence is positive.
In this way, the burden on Yang Guo's shoulder will be much heavier. However, responsibility and opportunity coexist. From the beginning of studying distance education, didn't Yang Guo have a dream of changing the world in his heart?
When Yang Guo flew home across the Pacific Ocean, domestic and foreign media rushed to report the establishment of the charity fund.
Yang Guo also occupies a large page. Compared with the prudence of domestic media, foreign media have already boasted Yang Guo.
At first, it was just a praise for Yang Guo in academic circles, but now it is also used by foreign media.
"The father of future education", "the father of distance education", or "the father of African enlightenment", these praises are obviously too much. Even Yang Guo himself can't help blushing later!
