2499【Resonance】
When everyone present was a little uneasy when they learned that the chef of Xia Tian had a monthly salary of 50,000 US dollars.
In the 1990s, Americans had an average annual income of about 30,000 US dollars. Families with an annual income of more than 100,000 US dollars were already considered middle class.
But unexpectedly, a chef in summer earns only 50,000 US dollars a month. In this way, wouldn’t he earn $600,000 a year? It can match the income of six middle-class families.
"So expensive?" Oprah was a little unbelievable.
Although she is also a billionaire, she is still a little worse than summer.
"Because he is a Cantonese master, he can cook more than 400 dishes. He was once a five-star hotel chef. He is equivalent to a Michelin-starred chef. 50,000 US dollars is actually not expensive." Xia Tian explained with a smile.
"Yeah." After hearing his explanation, Oprah nodded in understanding.
In the United States, Michelin chefs are also paid very well.
If a restaurant can have a star chef in charge, it will be like a guest, and there are also many big-name stars and well-known people. There is no saying that making money, so it is not surprising that Michelin chefs are paid high.
However, Xia Tian actually invited the Michelin chef to his home and specially cooked three meals a day for himself, which was indeed very generous.
"Okay, let's guess how much is this box of 500 grams of Debao's cranberry almond cereal?" Oprah asked with a smile.
"Five hundred grams of cereal... can be eaten for ten days with fifty grams." Xia Tian began to think about it when she heard her question, "I think the price of ten dollars is very reasonable."
After hearing what he calculated, the audience in the audience made a disappointed voice.
"Why, is it high or low?" Xia Tian asked curiously.
Oprah smiled slightly and stepped forward to reveal the price of the cereal. It turned out that this bag of 500 grams of cereal was only sold for two dollars.
"It's really cheap." Xia Tian nodded, "Maybe I should quit my chef and eat cereals in the future."
Hearing that he said, everyone present burst into laughter.
...
"Mr. Xia, have you ever bought a tampon for a girl?" Oprah asked with a smile again.
When everyone present heard her ask this question, excitedly made strange noises.
"I haven't bought tampons, but I have bought sanitary napkins." Xia Tian Luoluo said generously, not at all embarrassed.
After hearing his answer, the audience screamed even louder.
"Oh?!Really?" Oprah asked in surprise.
"Of course it's true." Xia Tian nodded.
"I still don't believe it." Oprah shook her head.
"You forgot that I have a sister." Xia Tian smiled, "More than ten years ago, I bought it for her before I became rich."
"Ah, so that's it." Oprah nodded in a sudden realization.
The audience members also woke up immediately.
"How was it feeling at that time? Was it very embarrassing?" Oprah asked curiously.
"It's so embarrassing." Xia Tian nodded, "To cover up, I bought a lot of things, then mixed them in and went to check out together."
Hearing that he said, everyone present burst into laughter.
"Since you are so impressed, I think you can still remember the price." Oprah smiled, "Then please guess what the price is for this pack of Danbi Silk Tampons, thirty-two packs?"
When Xia Tian heard this, he frowned, "Since it is a daily consumable, I think the price should not be too expensive. I guess it is eight dollars!"
After hearing what he said, everyone present shook their heads again.
"Why, is it too high or too expensive?" Xia Tian asked in confusion as soon as he saw it.
Oprah smiled and walked over to reveal the price tag. She saw that the tag was marked "Four-five-six dollars".
"What women use is really expensive." Xia Tian smiled.
Everyone laughed when they heard him complaining.
...
Afterwards, Xia Tian guessed three more items. With the obvious release of the host and the help of the audience, he guessed the prices of the three items almost right.
In this way, the production company of "Opra's Talk Show" will donate $300,000 to the orphanage in Chicago. Together with the $10 million promised to donate in the summer, it will be $103 million in total.
"Opra Talk Show" often provides help to guests, such as providing them with cars, houses, TVs, tuition fees, traveling to Australia, etc. This is also one of the main highlights of "Opra Talk Show".
This time, the donation of $10.3 million was the largest donation donated by the Oprah Talk Show in the past decade. It caused a lot of sensation.
When this program was broadcast, it also received extremely high ratings.
According to the survey conducted by Nelson ratings survey company, the number of viewers watching this show reached nearly 45 million. Not only did it set a record for "Opra's Talk Show", but it even set a record for "American talk show".
The famous Chinese saying that Xia Tian said in the program, "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you" was also well-known to many people for a time and became a very popular word.
Many sociologists also agree with this sentence and have written many articles to call on people to understand each other, think from others' perspectives, and do not do to others what they do not want others to do to them.
As for Xia Tian's mention of him being "racially discriminated against", it also caused a great response in American society.
In the 1990s, the human rights movement was always very prosperous.
The reason is that the economic incompetence of the Lao Bushilifu has caused the US economy to decline year by year. Under this circumstance, the survival of people of color faces greater threats, ethnic conflicts are becoming increasingly fierce, and racism is becoming increasingly rampant.
In order to divert the contradictions, both the Republican and the Democratic Party have pointed the finger at people of color, especially the black people.
They accused the blacks of being ignorant, poor, lazy, and violent, and formulated laws to limit the welfare of the blacks, and used an unfair judicial system to deprive the blacks of their civil rights and judicial rights.
For example, in 1991, when a black man in the United States was investigated for driving drunk, he was beaten by four white Los Angeles police officers in turn and begged for mercy. The four police officers were arrested for this, but after a year of trial, they were all acquitted.
The news caused strong dissatisfaction among the Black Man and took to the streets to hold up the dispute, which caused the biggest chaos in Los Angeles history. The chaos caused a total of 58 deaths, 2,300 injuries, 11,000 arrests, and more than 5,000 buildings were burned.
The entire Los Angeles is called the "City of Fire". The entire chaos lasted for three days before it subsided and caused a sensation in the whole world. This also shows how fierce the racial conflicts in the United States have been.
In this case, Xia Tian said that he was suffering from "racial discrimination", which naturally aroused strong resonance.
