Chapter 256 Donation
In Hamburg, a luxurious conference hall that can accommodate several hundred people in a high-end hotel, there are only about 20 people in it, of which there are not even 10 journalists, and most of them are from small Eastern European countries, and Soviet journalists do not come at all. As for the local reporters, except for the Jung family, there is one local tabloid, and nothing else is there. William was already sweating on his forehead, could this be ...... Messed up, right?
Hiding in the corner and dialing Jing Jian's phone, William was already getting more and more weak. For this press conference, the Hamburg branch spent a lot of money and made a big scene, but the result was ......? Why did no one pay attention to it?
Jing Jian quietly held the phone, listening to William's report, with a calm smile on his face. Finally waiting for William to finish his stammering report, Jing Jian said, "William, aren't you doing a good job?"
"But sir, there are so few media coming, I'm afraid ......" William glanced at the empty conference hall, "Sir, are we delaying the release?"
"No, I don't. Here are four Eastern European diplomats, and those journalists, and you've done a great job. Jing Jian smiled and encouraged, "William, you can ask your father, half a year ago, when the White Lotus headquarters held a press conference, how many people would come? And now, when the wind blows, even your father's door will be blocked. Why? It's nothing more than the size of the fame. Now, the Hamburg branch is not well-known in Europe, so you can only take your time. Don't be afraid to spend a lot of money, don't be afraid to borrow a large conference hall, this is mainly for others to see, let them know the strength of our White Lotus. Hold the press conference on time, it will give Europe a storm, and it will be the same as North America! Do a good job, I believe in your ability. ”
“......”
Hanging up the phone, Jing Jian thought it was very interesting, how could the operation of the White Lotus become more and more similar to a pyramid scheme? Sometimes it is also very helpless, these employees can't keep up with their own ideas, and they don't have the leisure time to teach them one by one, and they can only use the simplest brainwashing......
After ending the call with Jing Jian, William felt that he had become more confident, returned to the conference hall, and immediately announced the start of the press conference.
"Ladies and gentlemen, last year there was a very unfortunate accident on the European soil, the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Although after the accident, governments and the public have reached out to help, and the love and friendship of mankind have been reflected, but we at White Lotus believe that more such assistance is always better. That is why we have decided to provide the first tranche of $500,000 worth of supplies to the countries of Eastern Europe on a non-reimbursable basis, and we are organizing a second tranche of $1.5 million. In addition, our company's patented anti-radiation soap, laundry detergent, raincoat, etc., are all transferred to European manufacturers free of charge, without charging any patent fees, and hope that all manufacturers will contact us as soon as possible, sign a transfer agreement, and jointly expand production, to minimize the harm of nuclear radiation to the European people......"
Upon hearing this, all the people attending the press conference were stunned. Truth be told, most of these people come for "beautiful gifts". After the nuclear accident, there are countless manufacturers who "give love", which is nothing more than the old routine, donating first, and then advertising for their own manufacturers. Moreover, more than half a year has passed since the accident, and such a belated donation has already made the people aesthetically fatigued. If it weren't for the donation to the countries of Eastern Europe, those low-level diplomats and journalists from Eastern Europe would not have come.
But I never expected that the White Lotus Company, which suddenly appeared, would not count the donation of money, but also transfer patents free of charge? What is particularly noticeable is that it is actually a "radiation-proof commodity"?
So as soon as William's words were finished, a reporter immediately asked: "Excuse me, can those products of your company really protect against radiation?"
In Europe and the United States, the laws on false advertising are quite strict, and the penalties are quite severe, so no company dares to make a bold statement about its products as "radiation proof" in the aftermath of a nuclear accident. And the White Lotus Company may be the first company to publicly promote "radiation protection products".
William was unhurried: "If it is said that it is impossible to completely eradicate radiation damage. Otherwise, nuclear weapons would not have become demonic weapons that could cause the destruction of the world. But removing the radiation smoke and reducing even a little bit of damage, even a little bit, is very effective. However, we White Lotus are only doing our own meager efforts, not an all-knowing and all-powerful God, so how to comprehensively and effectively prevent radiation damage? That should be done under the guidance of governments and experts. ”
"Do you want to introduce the specific radiation protection principle of your company's products?" another reporter asked.
"The principle of radiation protection varies from product to product. But we have publicly transferred, I believe that governments and manufacturers will always review the formula, right? Note that our White Lotus is a donation, and we don't want to use this accident to make any black money. We also welcome experts to verify the radiation protection of our products. However, there is one thing that is very puzzling: for such a good product with an effect, even if it is a trivial effect, why don't European countries study it, but instead find fault with the effect? Maybe just a little bit can save a person's life and a person's health, and no enterprise has the courage to assume social responsibility? We White Lotus are not afraid of the cusp of the storm, nor are we afraid of those villains making waves, for us, it is the most important thing to act as soon as possible to reduce radiation damage. ”
"Then I would like to ask, this time all European countries have been affected by nuclear radiation to some extent, but why, your company's donation is only for Eastern European countries?
The answer is very clear, no! This gentleman, our White Lotus Company is only a company, and our capacity is limited, and our donation is of course to donate to the place where it is most needed. And we find another very puzzling problem, when the nuclear accident occurred, the whole of Eastern Europe seemed to be forgotten by the whole world. We don't mean to blame anyone, but in our eyes, such a catastrophe for all mankind should transcend national borders and ideologies. Wherever we need it, we donate. ”
William's words immediately attracted a round of applause. Most of you here are from Eastern European countries, and donating to them is certainly welcome.
William continued: "Please also note that our patents are transferred free of charge, not only for Western European countries, but also for manufacturers from the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. No strings attached, and no penny!"
Facing the empty conference hall, William was talking. He didn't know that one stone would stir up a thousand waves!
