"Hi Fred Wilson, just want you to know that my grandma likes the kind of music that you like"

Zheng is a funny dude.
I'd like to know what she's saying.

This is the same girl from the video on Jason's blog a few weeks ago:

This is interesting. Where did you come upon it? you have me wanting to know what she is saying.
You could always shop it around on your Blackberry over on Canal St. You are bound to find a translator for allmost every dialect!(just kidding of course)

Translation - link baiting works. Loren made so much fun of Scoble that Podtech hired him just to shut him up.
It was a race between Calacanis and Scoble. Scoble cracked first.

"Fred Wilson, he is a very smart man with great taste in music... but he needs a better hair cut."
Posted by: Jason | January 16, 2007 at 03:13 PM
"My grandma wants you to know that she shares your taste in music."
She's speaking Mandarin Chinese.
Posted by: C. Maoxian | January 16, 2007 at 05:49 PM
Fred, These people are not kidding. She reallly is saying that her grandma likes the same music as you.

"Fred wilson, if you can hear me, my grandma wants to tell you that
she feels that you like the same songs and music as her."

You should meet Fred Wilson, the man my grandmother picked up at the Czar Bar when she was last in New York...
Posted by: Charlie Crystle | January 16, 2007 at 10:36 PM
I guess that means there's a possibility that Zheng might not be a funny dude.

Someone in China apparently figured out how to use new communication mediums like YouTube to do spear-marketing. The messenger being a cute girl helps too. Also, I doubt if you would have been as curious if she spoke in english.
More tube-babes!

You can get the background here at http://www.1938media.com/ and vidieo here at youTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osR5uECpT0c
This is from New York not from Chinia...... Clever marketing.....

Howard, if you think I can shut Loren up you got another thing coming!
Everyone else: the video came from here: http://www.1938media.com/

i think she was speculating just how much publicity she will garner from a) being pretty, b) citing a well known vc's name, c) creating intrigue by combining the two in an online video.
boy, was warhol prophetic or what?

We hired Loren Feldman because he one funny mof*9&%er. He is also one smart and handsome man.

Check out dotSUB. They do this translation work super easy.

What she's really saying is that her grandma thinks your avatar is badass and she'd like to know where she can get one for her blog :-)
Posted by: Tony Alva | January 17, 2007 at 01:09 PM
I've seen a similar one mentioning Scoble - maybe it's a monetising scam designed to get high-powered bloggers to post the clip and drive traffic to it. How it would work I have no idea.
Posted by: John Dodds | January 17, 2007 at 05:22 PM
Yes, Zheng is an honest guy. That's Chinese and the girl's grandma really has the same taste as Fred.
Posted by: Richard Wang | January 18, 2007 at 02:16 AM

she said it in such a professional tone too.
