Chapter 54: Bastard Press Conference
July 4th is the United States Independence Day, but also the United States official holiday, but not everyone can enjoy the holiday rest, at least the Southern Hotel in Fenway, many service staff here must be on duty, because today a press conference is about to be held here, from the banner that has been put up a long time ago, it is not difficult to see that this is the press conference of Wharton Insurance Company.
At six o'clock in the morning, the hotel service staff began to set up the venue here, and of course, there will be some talk during the decoration.
"I said that this Wharton Insurance Company is the insurance company that has launched financial insurance in the Ladder Building opposite? Didn't this company hear that all its assets have been frozen by the State Bureau of Justice? How can such a press conference be held now? Look at Nala's banner, or is it that Wharton Insurance Company is going to pay a huge amount of insurance. One person said.
Another person said, "I said you can't control this, don't you know? Don't you know that those Chinese always have their own special methods? And I heard that the chairman of this Wharton insurance company is from Red China, and there must be some means that we don't know." ”
"I see, hearing you say that makes me want to know him, to be able to still have the money to make a claim in this situation, this is a heavy slap in the face from those guys in the Justice Bureau, this is really cool!"
"Not only those guys from the Justice Bureau, I heard that this time Senator Brooke wanted to deliberately find trouble with Wharton, but the Chinese thought of a way, so he slapped the senator in the face!"
"Are there any such stories? These Chinese are really evil bastards, but I like them very much!"
……
In these boring discussions, Zhou Ming came to the Southern Hotel in his Buick car, and Zhou Ming was accompanied by lawyer Allen and Chen Shu and Ye Ning from the finance class.
At a quarter past nine o'clock in the morning, an extended Cadillac sedan drove into the parking lot of the Southern Hotel, and it was Brooke Sr. who arrived.
For the elder Brooke, he was very reluctant to attend this press conference, but it involved the medical expenses of the 2,000 employees of his processing plant, and he could not afford not to attend. Otherwise, if you refuse to attend and are caught by that Chinese to make a fuss, it will be quite detrimental to yourself, not to say that the illness and medical expenses of those workers are burdened, but the loss of your own processing plant for so many days.
If you can deal with that Chinese with some losses, then you can still accept it, but on the contrary, if you have incurred losses and cannot deal with that Chinese, you can't accept this in any way.
At half past nine in the morning, the press conference began, and the reporters were the first to take their seats. Although most of these reporters were hired by Zhou Ming, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that there are reporters here, and today's news will definitely be broadcast.
After the reporter, Zhou Ming and Old Brooke appeared on the stage, and Zhou Ming and Old Brooke shook hands cordially. I can't help but say that all businessmen and politicians are acting schools, obviously old Brooke hates Zhou Ming to death, but he can still make a very cordial appearance in front of the camera, as if he is very happy with Zhou Ming's press conference, and Zhou Ming can't help but have a new understanding of his face.
Then in a bland opening, Zhou Ming fiddled with the microphone in front of him and said: "Hello ladies and gentlemen, you are very welcome to come here today, although Wharton Insurance Company has had a lot of unexpected things happen in the past few days, including the company's assets being frozen, and the sudden large-scale food poisoning incident at the Brooke Processing Plant. ”
"Now that these things have happened, we will also put aside why our normal investments have caused the Bureau of Justice to freeze the company's assets, or whether there are many doubts about the food poisoning incident in the processing plant. ”
Zhou Ming immediately raised his tone when he said this: "We will uphold the attitude of a responsible insurance company, solve the difficulties of all our policyholders first, and then investigate who is deliberately poisoning the food poisoning, and finally help all policyholders to pursue legal responsibility." ”
When Zhou Ming's words were finished, the scene suddenly burst into applause and applause, which were undoubtedly very harsh in Old Brooke's ears, as if here he had become a miser who only cared about the insurance company's money.
This despicable Chinese knows that he has taken all his noble feelings on himself, as if he is the Holy Mother who thinks about others everywhere, but he is obviously a mean bastard!
Old Brooke scolded Zhou Ming in his heart, but on the surface he couldn't say a word, otherwise his attitude would not know what it would be interpreted into, as a veteran senator who has been dealing with the media for a long time, he knows very well what kind of news those shit reporters like to make up to attract attention, regardless of the real situation.
"I know that many people will spread rumors behind their backs that Wharton's financial insurance products are a financial scam, but I want to say that every hero will be slandered and targeted by evil spirits before they come out, and it is easy to be misunderstood by people, but in the end, heroes can always defeat evil and save the earth. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Ming paused for a moment and then said: "I don't want to say what kind of hero I am, but the predicament suffered by Wharton Insurance Company is that some chaebols who see the future of this kind of financial product and are afraid of losing their monopoly position, the result they are aiming at is just like those demons who constantly create obstacles for heroes, and I am more willing to play a supporting role in helping heroes carry forward!"
With Zhou Ming's last sentence, the atmosphere of the scene immediately continued to push to the climax, and all the reporters who should maintain an objective position gave up their positions, and one by one they became Zhou Ming's fans and stood up and applauded Zhou Ming desperately.
"Chinese, you don't need to be modest, you are the big hero of Brighton! These ideas of yours are as pure as Joan of Arc, only those damn bastards who target you, they should be punished by the law!" and many more cheered for Zhou Ming.
These applause and cheers made Old Brook almost go crazy with anger, he couldn't stand Zhou Ming being praised like this, but just when he couldn't bear it anymore, Zhou Ming handed over the right to speak to him in a timely manner.
"Mr. Brooke, I know you've been in a hurry, so now I can pay for the medical bills of the workers at your processing plant. Zhou Ming said.
Old Brook resisted the urge to slap Zhou Ming to death, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and said: "Although I have been waiting for a long time, Mr. Zhou Ming, it is also very gratifying that you can make the decision to pay within the last time limit in time, because then I can give up using litigation to solve the problem, but it is better not to delay it for so long in the future." ”
This time, after Old Brooke's words were finished, Zhou Ming didn't have time to speak, and a reporter below said first: "Councillor Brooke, are you really Councillor Brooke?" My God, how can Councilor Brooke say such a thing, if I understand correctly, Wharton Insurance Company needs a proper time to investigate the food poisoning incident, after all, such a large area of food poisoning is really too suspicious!"
With someone taking the lead, someone immediately chimed in: "That's true, now Wharton Insurance is still willing to settle claims in advance under such a difficult situation, which is already very rare, I don't believe that other insurance companies can do it, so this is definitely worthy of support and encouragement!"
Facing the reactions of the reporters below, Zhou Ming was very happy, he didn't expect his previous propaganda to have such an effect.
As for Old Brooke, these reporters are very unfriendly, they are clearly slapping him in the face, but he has no way to refute it.
However, as the so-called self-pretending to be forced, kneeling to finish pretending, old Brooke can only continue to say about the current situation: "Food poisoning, of course, I will also support the continued investigation of Wharton Insurance Company, but one yard to one yard, everything will have a priority, and at the same time, I am also very willing to wish Wharton Insurance Company such a responsible company can unfreeze assets as soon as possible, otherwise this will be a huge hidden danger." ”
After Old Brooke finished speaking, Zhou Ming immediately said: "On this point, on behalf of Wharton Insurance Company, I am very grateful to Councilor Brooke for his blessings, but I don't think Councilor Brooke needs to worry about me, because the assets of Wharton Insurance Company will also be unfrozen today." ”
As if it was arranged, when Zhou Ming finished speaking, someone was immediately invited to the stage, it was Lincoln, the legal officer of the Financial Supervision Division of the Bureau of Justice, who was still short and chubby, and ran onto the stage like a bouncing ball, he shook hands with Zhou Ming first, and then said to all reporters: " After analyzing Wharton's investments over the past period, the Bureau of Justice believes that Wharton does not have any insider trading problems, so today I can announce the unfreezing of Wharton's assets on behalf of the Bureau of Justice. ”
Lincoln's words caused an uproar at the scene, especially Old Brooke, when countless reporters raised their cameras to shoot frantically on stage, he hated to slap himself hard, hated why he was bored just now.
But in fact, Old Brook also knows very well in his heart that the result is the same whether he says it or not, since Zhou Ming dares to hold this press conference, he must have arranged everything.
After the press conference, Old Brooke got up and was about to leave, but Zhou Ming stopped him and asked, "Senator Brooke, we just reached an agreement, but you don't seem to have given me the account yet, right?"
"Account?" said Old Brooke with a sneer, "Didn't I already hand over all the accounts of all my employees to you when I first applied for insurance?
Old Brook looked at Zhou Ming proudly as he spoke, and his eyes seemed to say: Aren't you Niu B? Niu B, you can go and pay money one by one!
But after hearing this, Zhou Ming just nodded silently and said: "I see, then I have to do a little more trouble, but fortunately, I have already counted all the accounts, and I will probably be able to arrive before the bank gets off work this afternoon, but in the investigation of food poisoning, I still need a lot of support from Councillor Brooke, and I will thank Councillor Brooke here." ”
Zhou Ming didn't have any special tone, but Old Brook gritted his teeth: "Chinese, don't be happy too early now, there will be times when you can't cry in the future!"
"I'm so convinced of that I'm going to ask Councillor Brooke to ...... Come on!" Zhou Ming said, and at the same time made a cheering gesture to Old Brook.
This made Old Brooke almost want to go berserk, and finally managed to control his emotions before turning away.
Zhou Ming looked at the back of Old Brooke leaving, his expression gradually became solemn, maybe what he said just now was very relaxed, but in fact, Zhou Ming really understood that Old Brooke was not joking.
