Chapter 416: A Billion in Public Relations Expenses

"After many mediations, my country (the United States) will start small-scale pilot work in some cities. The Washington Post published this important news in their news media with a front-page headline.

Almost all media, including television, the Internet, and traditional print media, announced the news one after another.

"Pilot cities include: Detroit, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland............ and so on. ”

Detroit is already bankrupt in this batch of public pilot cities, and almost all but a few of the city's districts are ghost towns.

Cities such as Chicago and Atlanta have been selected by the National Bank as cities with high debt risks. Chicago, in particular, has already been predicted to be the next Detroit.

Mr. President heeded the advice of his Secretary-General and placed the pilot cities in these high-risk cities, hoping to renew the life of these cities with the heat that this pilot might bring.

Of course, this kind of life with the help of external forces will not last long, but it does not matter to His Excellency the President, because, as his secretary general said, by the time these cities are completely gone, he will be out of office.

At least he pulled the cities a hand when he was in office. And after that, these cities will not work, and it will not be his business.

And when the White House jumped out of the direction of whether or not to support the anti-mutant radicals, and chose to use X beauty elixir to divert the topic, it has to be said that it was still very successful.

The big dog families of the Mohamed family are very powerful, and they have launched a network of contacts in the United States. Including the media, including politicians in some cities. They all turned in like a gale, and instantly brought the problems of the previous radicals over.

Everyone has focused on x beauty elixir (eating not fat genes). Everyone is debating whether X Beauty Elixir should be passed, and whether the pilot city is suitable.

In a news talk show on ABC's evening program, the host had a profound discussion on this issue with the guests.

Question from the moderator: "What do you think about the small scale of the adoption of the X Beauty Potion in our country through Congressional approval, and do you think this is a compromise between Congress and Mr. President's attitude towards mutants?"

Douglas is a well-known current affairs commentator who has his own column in many media outlets. He has become known for his spicy writing against current politics. He is quite popular, and many people rely on his comments.

Douglas's voice was full of magnetism: "Actually, the president sent a notice and a short speech before. The main purpose of this speech is to let the people know "the intentions of this pilot." ”

"In fact, it is undeniable that the health of our people in terms of weight is a very important thing to worry about. The United Nations Health Organization has repeatedly issued notices to us asking our country's health authorities to pay attention to the weight and health of our citizens. ”

Douglas pointed to himself and said, "Actually, you might not see it, but I weighed 290 pounds ten years ago, and I couldn't be on TV at that time." I can only sit behind the computer and make a living by writing short articles for websites and newspapers. Let me put it this way, I am a fat man, and I have had the pain of being fat. ”

The host looked at Douglas, who was now in his prime, a little incredulously, and said, "You used to be fat?"

"Yes, it's fat, and there are always hard times in life. It was a very difficult time for me, and I had very high blood lipids at that time. The doctor told me not to touch any carbonated drinks and foods high in sugar and fat, or one day my blood vessels would suddenly explode. Douglas said these words in a tone of apprehension.

And the CVR on TV also happened to broadcast a photo of him from the past, and Douglas in the photo was indeed fat.

"Being obese was a very unpleasant experience, my knees hurt every day and I often had cramps. So after hearing the doctor's words, I made up my mind to change all that. So it took me almost two years to lose the extra one hundred and ten pounds. Douglas said a little smugly.

The host also said appropriately: "It was a very hard day." ”

"Yes, very hard. You can't live a good life by losing weight. So I used to pay a lot of attention to the [Fat Parade], I know why they put forward the demand to eat and lose weight, to be honest, if I can have such a choice when I am obese, I will not hesitate to make such a choice. Douglas shrugged.

"So you're rooting for mutants?" the moderator posed a poignant topic.

Douglas shook his head: "All I'm in favor of is making our people healthier and giving obese people the life they deserve." Shouldn't we be taking the rights of the fat guys? ”

Douglas's answer was brilliant and flawless. At least the moderator isn't asking any tough questions.

And in the United States, countless celebrities like Douglas say different things on various TV stations, but the goal is similar.

They all put aside the issue of mutants not being humans, but simply talked about the demands of people's health and the rights of the fat people should be respected.

Seemingly overnight, the United States has become the country in the world that respects human rights and cares most about the well-being of its citizens.

What they said is very much in line with the form of public opinion that the White House needs right now, and it can be regarded as the best kind of political correctness at this moment.

And just after Douglas returned home from the show, a guy in charge of the ticket courier service delivered a ticket to Douglas.

This is a ticket for a luxury cruise ship traveling to the Mediterranean. In addition to seeing the sea view and enjoying various services on board, the most important entertainment of this kind of boat tour is even said that the purpose of many people to participate in this kind of cruise trip is to gamble after going to the high seas.

Because gambling on the high seas is regulated by the laws of each country, many luxury cruise ships have this type of casino service. Some of the cruises offer services that can even be compared to MGM Caesars Palace.

And the ship that Douglas ordered is one that is very well-known in this kind of gambling service. The courier brother sent his blessing with a smile: "I wish you a happy trip, sir, and win a little more." ”

Douglas smiled and waved his first-class ticket: "Thank you, I'll win five million dollars." His tone was very firm.

Inside the Illuminati.

Li Jie looked at the list of data obtained by Dr. Hank from various media outlets and classes, and smiled at Tony, "It looks like we have a good first step. ”

Tony shook his head: "Of course it's good, a billion dollars in PR dollars." This money has been able to fool the international leaders of some small countries into selling their countries directly. ”

"Well~" Li Jie patted Tony's shoulder and said, "Anyway, the big dog is the main target of the money." Now that the time is almost ripe, it's time to put our Iron Man in the forefront. Tony, it's time for you to save all the fat guys in this country! My water army with Dr. Hank is ready!"

Li Jie looked expectant, and Tony Stark looked resistant.
