On March 3rd, a week after the third trial of the Little Brook fraud case, many reporters came to the Southern Hotel in Fenway, because there was a special briefing here today, saying that this briefing was especially because it was not an orthodox form, but was made like a banquet, with wine and buffets, and waiters shuttling back and forth, and all the reporters and other people who came to participate were chatting.

"Little Danny, I came to this meeting for your father's sake, you have to have a few more drinks with me today, otherwise I won't hand over today's manuscript to the editor-in-chief. ”

"Hey my barrister Allen, you asked me to come here today, I really don't understand how a lawyer as famous as you, even if it is enough to be a legal adviser to the governor, can be a legal adviser to such an obscure small company? Could it be that the directors here are all from Sierra Leone or South Africa? Are they no longer paid diamonds and gold instead of dollars?"

"But barrister, you know that our profession of journalists is also very difficult, it is impossible to get any news in the newspaper, it has to be newsworthy, of course, if this company is willing to pay for advertising, we don't mind opening a back door for them, for the sake of friends. ”

……

In the noise of the drinking party, a young Chinese finally came to the stage through the crowd, Zhou Ming, wearing a custom-made suit, was waiting here, he saw the young man and asked, "Chen Shu, how is the situation outside?"

The young Chinese was Chen Shu, the head of the finance class, who replied to Zhou Ming: "Teacher, I'm afraid it's not good, all the reporters came in the face of Lawyer Allen and Chairman Danny, although they are willing to come to the conference, but they may not necessarily help us write news, unless we are willing to buy their pages like advertising." ”

Hearing Chen Shu say this, Ye Ning, who helped Zhou Ming sort out his clothes, was very unhappy and said: "What reporters, I think they are simply a group of insatiable salesmen!"

However, Zhou Ming said with a smile: "It's normal, who makes our company very small and new, and wants to be in a hurry to open up the popularity? Of course they want to knock us hard." ”

Zhou Ming said and looked at Chen Shu and Ye Ning very unwillingly, and then said to them: "Okay, don't think about this, if you want to show your strength, some experiences are inevitable, and besides, don't we still prepare a program for them? Maybe they will change their minds after watching the show, and now the conference is about to start, let's go out first." ”

Then Zhou Ming took Chen Shu and Ye Ning out, and he first met several major newspaper editors under the introduction of Allen and Danny. After a lot of nonsense greetings, at ten o'clock in the morning, the company's press conference officially began.

Zhou Ming walked up to the rostrum and picked up the microphone and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I very much welcome you to come to the meeting of Wharton, I am Zhou Ming, the chairman of the board. ”

Everyone applauded Zhou Ming to show respect, Zhou Ming raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I want to say that all of you are very lucky to be able to witness the rebirth of a giant, all the employees of my Wharton company are finance students at Harvard University, this is a very powerful force, maybe in five or ten years, Wharton will be a household name in Brighton and even the whole of Massachusetts." ”

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, a burst of laughter immediately broke out below, obviously in their opinion, Zhou Ming's words were a joke.

In the midst of laughter, someone asked Zhou Ming: "Then may I ask this Chinese chairman, what does he do in this Wharton company of yours?"

With the first person taking the lead, someone next to him immediately echoed and asked: "That's right, Mr. Chinese chairman, I heard that the first project that your Wharton company is responsible for is a dormitory convenience store project, are you going to make a Wal-Mart in the school?"

Another person asked: "But you said that your employees are all Harvard students, did Harvard admit dozens of Chinese this year? How did you get admitted, and has there been some adjustments to Harvard's admissions policy in the past few years?"

In the face of this question after sentence, Zhou Ming once again signaled everyone to be quiet and said: "Please listen to me, first I am not Mr. Chinese chairman, my name is Zhou Ming; secondly, Harvard did admit 26 Chinese this year, and I am honored to be one of them; finally, I also want to tell you that the dormitory convenience store is indeed the responsibility of Wharton, but Wharton does not plan to make the market, and Wharton is going to do insurance in the future." ”

Zhou Ming's words were like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples on the scene, and all the reporters and editors were surprised, because Zhou Ming's words were completely unexpected.

Because Zhou Ming and the students in the finance class are specially approved by the President of the United States, there is no news report, and it is normal for many reporters not to know; and Wharton will do insurance, which they did not expect in any case, although there are many small insurance companies in Brighton, but in their cognition, it takes a lot of financial resources to be an insurance company, but do these Chinese have them?

As if to give everyone an answer, Zhou Ming then said: "Regarding the issue of insurance companies, I think my lawyer, Mr. Allen, will have more say than me. ”

Saying that, Zhou Ming asked Allen to come to the stage, and Allen came to the stage and said: "Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am Allen, what I want to say is that Wharton has applied for permission to carry out insurance business, that is to say, Wharton is fully qualified to carry out insurance business, as for the conditions of underwriting, I think except for aircraft carriers and nuclear bombs, everything that can be covered can be accepted by him." ”

At this time, a white man raised his hand, Zhou Ming invited him to the stage, he said: "Hello everyone, I am Taylor, chairman of the Northeast Branch of the Port City Shipping Group, I have a ship that is now parked in the harbor of Brighton, and it will set sail to Brazil in about half a month, and I have not yet insured this voyage, I wonder if your Wharton insurance company has the courage to accept this policy?"

After he finished speaking, he added: "Friendly reminder, this time the goods are very important, once there is a loss, the amount of compensation may reach tens of millions of dollars." ”

As Taylor said this, everyone at the scene suddenly gasped, no wonder this ship has not been insured until now, such a large amount of insurance, even a first-class insurance company has to weigh it, after all, no one can guarantee 100% safety in navigation, especially this route must pass through the Caribbean.

The reporters and editors below are talking to each other, and they are all saying that this Mr. Taylor is clearly here to smash the scene, and someone else's Wharton Company has just been established, and you throw out such a hot insurance policy, isn't this not a person who can't get off the stage?

But at this time, Zhou Ming asked him: "Mr. Taylor, then I want to ask what is the insurance price you can afford for such a big policy?"

"Two hundred thousand dollars. Taylor replied.

Although many people guessed that with such a large amount of insurance, the insurance cost must not be low, but when Taylor said this, countless reporters at the scene were dumbfounded.

But before these reporters had time to be surprised, Zhou Ming said again: "In this case, our Wharton Company has taken your insurance policy." ”

Zhou Ming's answer made the scene explode immediately, and someone immediately exclaimed: "Oh my God, is this Chinese crazy!"

They can't help but be surprised, maybe the $200,000 policy may sound tempting, but in fact it is a big gamble, a big gamble on the future of the insurance company, because once there is an accident in the shipping, Wharton can not make a claim, then Wharton will be notorious, just imagine an insurance company that can't even do a claim, who else will trust?

Therefore, generally newly established insurance companies will start with small insurance policies, and only after they have abundant financial resources will they consider taking on such large policies.

As for the port city shipping group, of course, they are not worried, because according to the insurance law of the United States, the insurance company is not bankrupt, so if Wharton is unable to settle the claim, then the government will come forward to help him find other insurance companies willing to take over, and Wharton will be unconditionally merged into the insurance company that is willing to take over.

At this moment, in the eyes of all reporters and editors, Zhou Ming's image has changed into a demonic image with horns on his head and a trident in his hand, which is completely a kind of madness that has lost his mind.

In the face of the surprise and doubts of all reporters and editors, Zhou Ming continued: "I am not crazy as a Chinese, on the contrary, I am very rational now, at least more rational than all of you now, our Wharton company will accept this policy, first I want to thank Mr. Taylor for his trust in us, in addition to telling you that our Wharton company has the strength to receive this policy!"

Zhou Ming's words were sonorous and powerful, so that everyone was blindsided on the spot, and the scene was suddenly silent, until I didn't know who was the first to applaud, and the others applauded.

"Chairman Chinese, you are amazing! Didn't expect Wharton to lose 10 million? I am proud of your courage!"

The reporters and editors below shouted at each other, but they were carefully thinking about waiting for the end of the briefing to hurry up and write this manuscript, a newly established insurance company to undertake tens of millions of insurance policies, this is definitely a very valuable news.

But the reporters and editors cheered enthusiastically, but Zhou Ming frowned because he saw the person who took the lead in applauding.

In the applause and cheers, he stood up, and then walked up to the rostrum step by step, and found the microphone and said: "Hello everyone, I didn't expect Wharton to be such a bold company, and on the first day of its establishment, it undertook a 10 million insurance policy, I admire such a brave man very much, so I will introduce you to the second policy, that is, my one-year medical insurance for all employees of the Fenway District Company, and the insured amount is expected to reach 800,000 US dollars." ”

After speaking, this person turned his head and looked at Zhou Ming very provocatively and asked, "How is it? President of China, do you have the guts to pick me up?" My name is Brooke, and I am now a senator from Massachusetts. ”
