David Rubenstein is a world class interviewer. He treats guests with respect. Despite being one of the wealthiest private equaity founder, he always seems very humble.

[@user-qh6kz8lv6i]

[@titusp9488]

Jean Liu is really good presenter ...but she is of the privileged class (the new princeling) - she had resources to achieve things that simply is not possible for others (with her resources she had achieved much =good for her! ). Rubenstein's questions were deep and hard showed cracks in her armor but most people could not see it. Very thought provoking looking at it now (DIDI crisis 2021).

As a women leader myself in a big tech company, I am always aspired to reach higher, achieve more and give back my learnings to the fellow women professionals, however, I do have hesitations occasionally, in this male dominant industry as you have to be outstandingly sounding. I’m deeply inspired by Jean’s talk ( well balanced between being humble and confident).Thank you for sharing this great interview.

[@moregel6597]

very very very different level of wisdom across the table. David Rubenstein's questions are so sharp. while on the other side of the table - very GS PIA style - articulate, political correct, but not sure about the substance - 避重就轻, so good at telling the truth but not the whole truth. One may cheat your IC, cheat your audience, even cheat yourself, but time tells the truth. It's a shame so many investors buy this kind of story.

Well-connected parents definitely paved the way for her at the very beginning. However, it still takes tremendous amount of dedication and excellence to thrive in today's business environment.
