Chapter 299: Guo's Disaster Relief Fund
Chapter 299: Kwok's Disaster Relief Fund
……
"Boss, there are 42 media outlets here now!
"No, 42 is 42!
After the words fell, Guo Shouyun stood up and strode towards the press conference site of Phoenix Company.
"Click...!"
The moment he pushed the door in, the flashing lights went off like a tidal wave. A scene of the leader of a major country leaving the country. However, it is understandable that Guo Shouyun does not like the habit of being interviewed, which makes the media and the public curious about everything about him for too long. Now that I finally have the opportunity to interview myself, we can't let it go easily.
"Mr. Guo, what is the purpose of your press conference?"
"Mr. Guo, can you answer how much money you made on gold futures?"
"Mr. Guo, how do you deal with Enron's debts?" ......
Before Guo Shouyun could sit down, a tide of questions had already poured over him.
"Please calm down, there is plenty of time today, and I will answer everyone's questions one by one. Guo Shouyun waved his hand and said.
Under his reassurance, the people at the scene gradually calmed down.
"Because there are so many media present, I will answer immediately. Also, please follow the order, or our security personnel will expel you!" After a pause, "Now you can get started." ”
"Huh!"
Before his words fell, Qi Shushu's arm was already raised like a forest.
After sweeping his gaze, Guo Shouyun pointed casually, "That lady in a red dress!"
She was very excited when she got the right to interview, "Mr. Guo, I'm Emily Kett from The New York Times, what purpose did you buy Enron, and what do you plan to do with Enron's debts?"
"Strictly speaking, you're two questions. But since you're a lady and you're the first member of the media to ask questions, I'll answer both of those questions. First, Pacific acquired Enron because of the overlap between Enron's business and Pacific's business scope. In particular, Enron Pipeline Company and Enron Energy have a good role in promoting the development of Pacific Company. As for Enron's debt, part of it will be settled by selling some of Enron's assets. The rest will be addressed through the operating income of the two companies after the merger. … Please rest assured that Anping will pay off all debts and interest on time in accordance with the contract!"
"Is Anping a new company after the combination of the two companies?"
"Lady Cotter, you only have one chance, please take a seat!"
Guo Shouyun's answer made the young female news reporter sit down quite dissatisfied. However, in order to avoid being kicked out, she didn't say much.
"The man in the white T-shirt!" Guo Shouyun quickly swept around and pointed casually.
"Thank you. Mr. Guo, I'm Peter Charles of The Washington Post, can you tell us about the revenue of the Thunder Fund in the gold market in the last month?"
"Sorry, this falls under the category of company confidentiality, and for the sake of our customers, I can't answer you. You can change the question!" Guo Shouyun shook his head and said.
"Okay... How do you conclude that gold will rise, and whether it has anything to do with 9/11?"
"There are many reasons to judge the rise of gold, such as the Argentine debt crisis, the continuous decline in the stock market in the United States, etc., and these reasons cannot be said for three days and three nights. As for whether it has anything to do with 9/11. It can be said that there is none, and it can also be said that there is. ”
"Can you tell us more about it?" asked the male reporter, whose eyes lit up as if he had heard some big news.
"In economics, there is a term called 'black swan event', which refers to the risk event brought by an unexpected crisis to investment. This kind of event can easily cause the price of gold, oil, silver and other hedging products to rise. And 9/11 is one of those 'black swan events'. That's the connection between the two sides that I mentioned earlier. As for my investment decisions, they had nothing to do with 9/11. ”
"I am sure that gold will rise because the Argentine debt crisis will be protracted, and my prediction has proven right. On September 27, a large-scale strike occurred in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, which had a major impact on Argentina's social and economic order, and at the same time caused turmoil in the Argentine stock market and currency depreciation, which was good for the gold market. If it weren't for 9/11, that alone would have been enough to raise the price of gold. Therefore, my profit on gold is not necessarily related to 9/11... I have the floor for the next reporter's question. ”
"Mr. Guo, I'm USA Today's reporter Besanie Van Doren, what do you think of the headline in the Wall Street Journal this morning, and is there anything you are doing with the purpose of this press conference?"
After glancing at the middle-aged female reporter in a brown lady's professional attire, Guo Shouyun said without hesitation: "I have ordered my lawyer to file a lawsuit with the New York Superior Court for the news about me published in USA Today and the Wall Street Journal, because the two news outlets, on the premise of lack of evidence, used the 9/11 time to map the illegitimacy of my normal financial behavior, which caused serious damage to my normal life and personal reputation." They are to blame for it. … That's my answer to your first question. ”
Looking at Guo Shouyun's staring gaze, Besani Van Doren's face was slightly embarrassed. After all, she was a reporter for USA Today. However, after many years of experience in the workplace, her face soon calmed down.
"As for the purpose of this press conference, it has nothing to do with USA Today and the Wall Street Journal reports. It's just that I personally want to let the public know about some things through the media. ”
After a pause, Guo Shouyun took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "As an American, I love my country very much (forgive me, ancestors). Here is a stern condemnation of the terrorists responsible for 9/11 and a deep condolence for the compatriots who lost their lives on 9/11!"
Speaking of which, Guo Shouyun, as a person who has been reborn through the journey, feels quite awkward in his heart. obviously felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, but he had to show a sad expression.
"I didn't expect that I still have the potential of 'drama spirit' in my bones, maybe I should go to Hollywood to make a few cameos next time!" After silently complaining a few words in his heart, Guo Shouyun took a breath and raised his voice a few points.
“… So, I decided to donate all the $4 billion I made in the gold market this time. As the first donation of the Kwok Disaster Relief Fund, which I initiated, the fund will be run by professionals to sustain itself while providing relief to individuals and families who have suffered losses from unusual events and natural disasters in the United States. And our first target is the individuals and families who suffered huge losses on 9/11, losing their jobs and basic livelihoods!"
"Wow...!"
After a few seconds of silence, a loud exclamation rang out from the crowd.
Four billion dollars is an astonishing fortune at any given time. The act of giving away this amazing wealth is amazing.
Not surprisingly, Guo Shouyun received waves of admiring eyes.
"Mr. Guo, is your decision serious, do you really plan to donate $4 billion?"
"Yes! What I said before is true. Moreover, just an hour ago, the 'Kwok's Disaster Relief Fund' was registered in New York, and all donations will be received within three days. ”
"Mr. Guo, what made you make such a decision? Is it love?"
The corners of Guo Shouyun's mouth twitched, "Yes! I am an American who grew up in the United States, and I love my country and people!"
At the same time, his inner drama is also sufficient, "All the ancestors and ancestors of China, what I just said was done as a last resort, and I am still a very patriotic Chinese person in essence!"
"Whoa...!"
Warm applause rang out.
Looking at the pair of hot eyes around him, Guo Shouyun sighed in his heart. I am quite satisfied with the results of this performance.
After that, most of the questions revolved around Guo Shouyun's 4 billion donations, and he successfully established his image as a patriot and philanthropist in this Q&A.
