Chapter Thirty-Six: Worry

Things are better than expected. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After LONG's statement was broadcast, major media outlets took active action to actively cooperate with the Los Angeles government's efforts to quell the riots. Not far from the federal government building, CBS was the first to drive a bulletin truck and broadcast Long's words on a loudspeaker, and many of the people involved in the riot stopped confronting the police after hearing Long's speech. Subsequently, the city government also temporarily organized a number of broadcast vehicles to drive to the federal government building, and gave the long exhortation speech in various forms, so that these fans who participated in the riot at the scene knew it for the first time.

The vast majority of fans, after confirming Long's speech and knowing that Long had been released by the FBI and was safe, calmed down and began to disperse. And those policemen, of course, were not embarrassed by these fans who took the initiative to disperse at this time, and let them leave one after another.

Of course, there are a few people, they are fans of Long, yes, but they are also thieves, robbers, ruffians and villains, they learned that Long has been released, and after advising them to disperse, they did not all disperse after listening to persuasion, some people with brains know that the general trend has gone, and they will accept it as much as possible, after all, this time they are fishing in troubled waters, and they have already gained something, but there are also some greedy people who are brainless, after tasting the sweetness, they did not recognize the situation and tried to make persistent efforts to make another profit.

Soon, in less than half an hour, the nearly 100,000 fans who had gathered in front of the federal government building had basically dispersed, leaving only confetti, bricks, glass shards, and all kinds of garbage all over the ground. Only a handful of the hundred-odd remainder remain in the federal government building, unwilling to hand over what was looted this time, or to try to make another profit.

Of course, the police in Los Angeles were not polite to these people, and even if they organized capable SWAT officers, they stormed the federal government building, and pulled out these lucky troublemakers one by one and arrested them.

The unrest, which involved nearly 100,000 people, lasted only four hours, but the impact was far-reaching.

More than 600 people were injured and two were killed. It is worth mentioning that several of the reporters who were on the scene were injured, and the two people who died were killed by the police in the corner of the federal government building, and the other was unfortunately fell from the window on the sixth floor when he was arrested and fled.

According to preliminary statistics, the riots at this time caused a total of 200 million US dollars in economic losses, of which more than a dozen police cars were burned down, and the federal government building was also damaged on a large scale, and two floors were also set on fire with gasoline, making it a mess.

Bush, the newly inaugurated US president, told the media that the White House is very concerned about the riot in Los Angeles and that he himself believes that the Los Angeles City Government is capable of handling the aftermath of the incident.

Just one day later, a larger scale of harassment broke out in Los Angeles again, and the cause of the incident was still the legendary mysterious singer Long, who had risen rapidly in the United States for less than a year, and the impact of this incident was of course greater because of the large number of participants, the extent of the damage, the number of injuries, and the death of two people.

The world's major media and newspapers have all reported the riots in Los Angeles this time without exception, and this large-scale riot in Los Angeles can be avoided in advance, as long as the FBI can find out the first time to meet with the fans at the scene, and then persuade these fans to leave, there will be no subsequent violent incidents at all.

The rest of the world's media outlets were almost unanimous in criticizing the FBI's slow response to the incident, pointing out that the FBI was to blame for the incident.

The FBI was at the center of world opinion for a while.

In addition to accusing the FBI of being the initiator, the world's major media also highly praised Long almost unanimously, and gave a very high evaluation of his ability to "timely" come forward to stop the further expansion of the Los Angeles riots, especially the words he said at the press conference, his courage to take responsibility, and his deep protection of his fans. The number of fans in countries around the world also immediately exploded.

Lin Feng stayed in Adams' president's office for a full hour that day, and did not leave the company and return to the Four Seasons Hotel until the incident had subsided and the situation was brought under control on television.

In the hotel, Lin Feng was still very concerned about the final result of the big riot, turned on the TV, and paid attention to it for the first time. Later the results came in: more than 600 people were injured, two were killed, and the economic damage was estimated at $200 million. Lin Feng was secretly relieved when he heard the news, he was really afraid that Adams's crow's mouth would be right, and the loss would reach billions or billions of dollars, in that case, with the money that Long is currently selling records, it is obvious that he will not be able to make money in a short period of time, and if he wants to make up for it himself, of course he is not willing to do it. These two hundred million dollars are a lot in the eyes of others, but in Lin Feng's eyes now, they are nothing. What's more, according to Adams's estimates, as long as his debut album expands the circulation again, it is estimated that Long will be able to get hundreds of millions of dollars in dividends, if Long is now willing to accept endorsement advertising, there are several world famous brands carefully selected by Adams on hand, including Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nike, Adidas, Armani, Geely razor, men's underwear DKNY and other companies, if you take five or six, you can also get at least five or six dollars in revenue. In addition, there are also the copyright fees charged for his songs in entertainment venues, which is also a lot of income in a year. In short, there is no profit to be gained.

After Lin Feng learned of this result, he immediately decided to take out 10 million US dollars in advance to comfort the fans who were injured in this riot and sell American fans a good.

He did what he wanted, and he immediately called Adams.

"Adams, I plan to set up a special fund with 10 million US dollars this time, and the company will pay tribute to the injured fans in this riot, what do you think?" Lin Feng went straight to the point and said his plan.

Adams was silent for a moment before he said, "Long, are you really going to do this?" Ten million dollars is not a small amount. ”

Lin Feng thought to himself that the wool came out of the sheep anyway, and now he invested this 10 million, and he believed that he would be able to earn back 100 million in the near future.

Lin Feng said solemnly: "I have decided, I can still take out 10 million dollars." Moreover, I have promised in front of the media that I will take responsibility for this incident and compensate for the damages. This 10 million is my first compensation fund. ”

Adams on the other end of the conversation couldn't help frowning and said, "Long, no one will ask you to really pay compensation, and the estimated economic loss this time is 200 million US dollars." Do you really want to compensate in full? This incident is not your fault at all, the culprit is the FBI. If you want to pay compensation, they are the same. Damn, they also use our taxpayers' hard-earned money, anyway, you are completely not responsible for this incident, you don't have to blame yourself. ”

"Well, Adams, this time two people died, and more than six hundred were wounded. The cause of this incident is entirely because of me, how can I not be responsible. Lin Feng sighed and said, "Of course, I can't take out the economic loss of 200 million yuan at once, I will pay 10 million dollars first, otherwise, my conscience will be disturbed." ”

"Oh well. I think this time you will simply set up a long fund, named after you, to help the fans who were injured in the riots this time. Of the more than 600 people, not all of them can afford their own medical expenses. Adams was secretly moved by Lin Feng's sentiments, and at the same time, he also thought of hoping to further improve Lin Feng's social influence and popularity with the help of the idea of this "long fund".

"Okay, do as you say, this time I'll trouble you and the company. Tomorrow, I will remit 10 million to the company's account. Lin Feng's main purpose of spending this 10 million dollars is to give the world, especially Americans, an idol image who does what he says, cares about his fans, and cares, that is, let all Americans and even the world know about it.

By the time I ended the phone call with Adams, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and it was eight o'clock in the morning at home.

"Lin Feng, your dad called just now and asked if we had already bought a ticket to return to China tomorrow? Listening to his tone, he was a little angry, saying that you messed around in the United States this time, and when you return to China, he will not let you go abroad in the future. Ariel Lin said with some concern.

Lin Feng couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, as early as when he was a guest at the Consulate General before, his father called him and asked him to return to China immediately, and his tone was quite bad, and he also clearly told him not to "sing" in the future, and the family was not rare for the few money he earned.

Of course, Lin Feng knew that the real reason why his father was angry was that he was worried about himself, so he could only reluctantly agree at that time. Now he called Ariel Lin again, presumably he must have not slept well all night last night in his hometown. Lin Feng disagreed with his father's idea of letting him stop being a singer, he has now begun to like the feeling of being a star and being worshipped, and being a singer makes so much money makes him feel very fulfilled. It's a pity to give it up, but he doesn't want to have a conflict with his father, so he can think of a way to come out of this, and if he doesn't come to the United States in the future, he will record records in Hong Kong, Taiwan, or even the mainland, and then continue to sell them in the United States, and continue to be his long. In this way, presumably my father should not object again.

"My dad, it's worried about me. It seems that in the future, we in the United States will really not be able to come in a short period of time. "The United States, to be honest, is a great place to travel and shop, but it's a pity.

"Oh, after that, I want to see Emily only online." Ariel Lin was also a little disappointed.

Lin Feng smiled: "If you have a chance, just invite Adams' family to come to our house as guests." ”

Ariel Lin also smiled when she heard this: "This is a good note, just let Emily stay in our house for a while longer, or simply study with us." ”

Lin Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "You think well, so you have company, but you also have to be willing by other people's family members and parents." ”

Ariel stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, obviously she didn't think this idea could be realized.

After the two chatted for a while, Lin Feng went to the Internet, while Ariel Lin continued to watch the news reports on TV with relish, and the content was still a further report on the 100,000-person riot in Los Angeles.

In addition to checking the reports on the Internet about the riot, Lin Feng went online to contact Messer. Because he hasn't taken the initiative to contact Lin Feng so far, this matter is a bit abnormal. Lin Feng was afraid that his phone was not secure, so he went online and used the private chat software that Messer gave him to find him.

As soon as Lin Feng went online, Messer sent a message: "Boss, I am now being listed as the number one target of the US government, and I suspect that your arrest this time is that my phone call with you was eavesdropped by them some time ago." As far as I know, they have begun to suspect my relationship with you, but because I have taken strict confidentiality measures a few years ago, the relevant insiders have been controlled and warned by me, and they have not yet found out the specific information. However, I don't think we can hide this matter of our relationship for much longer, and you better be prepared. Or, as I would venture to guess, they have already guessed my relationship with you, as well as the government of your country, and they may already know that you are the one behind FENGSAI. ”

Lin Feng was stunned by Messer's words, if the secret of his "world's richest man" was known by the governments of the two countries, then his free life would be over.

"Messer, it can't be." Lin Feng was suspicious, "According to the FBI officer who arrested me, they knew that I was the boss of Huateng International Holdings Investment Group, and I instructed Karina to salvage a sum on Wall Street, which indirectly caused the financial situation to fluctuate and annoy the US government. ”

Messer was silent for a while before replying, "Alas! Boss, I'm 800% sure that the relationship between you and me is already known to them, and that FBI agent, either he doesn't know about it, or he lied to you. Although the strength of Huateng International Holding Investment Group is increasing day by day, it has not grown to the point of threatening the financial situation in the United States, and, if I remember correctly, this is not the first time you have come to the United States, they should have known that you are the boss behind Huateng Group, if they wanted to arrest you, they would have arrested you a long time ago, why wait until you have become a long time in the United States that countless fans support half the sky, they know that your influence among fans is so risky to arrest you and force you to become an American citizen, which means that they have a bigger reason to let them do it, and that reason is that you are the one behind FENGSAI. This time, if it were not for the intervention of your country's government, or even for your ambassador to the United States to make solemn representations to the US government, the US government would not have let you go so quickly. Obviously, your country should also be informed of your identity. Otherwise, there is no reason for your country to take such a tough stance on this matter. ”

After Lin Feng listened to Messer's inference, the cold sweat on his forehead came down, and there was a cold feeling behind him. FENGSAI, THE PERSON BEHIND THE GIANT GROUP, THIS TITLE IS REALLY FULL OF DANGER FOR HIM, AND NOW HE IS STILL BEING TARGETED BY THE SUPERPOWER OF THE UNITED STATES, AND HE IS STILL ON THE TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES, WHICH IS NOT FUN AT ALL.

As if knowing Lin Feng's worries, Messer hurriedly comforted: "Boss, don't worry, you have now been protected by your country, and the U.S. government will never dare to act rashly, your current identity is very sensitive, if the matter is exposed, it will be very unfavorable to the U.S. government." The United States has always proclaimed democracy and freedom, and the sanctity of personal property. But judging from the fact that they secretly arrested the world's richest man for no reason, their actions are obviously contrary to the US Constitution. They will never say anything about it. Therefore, your identity is still kept secret in front of the world. Basically, it will not interfere with your normal life. ”

Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "But I feel very bad now, whether it's the United States or my own country, I don't want this secret to be known by them, but now I know it." I really don't know what awaits me when I return home. ”
