Chapter 491: Gianna's Means
Originally, although Gianna had a prominent family background, it was also a whimsical thing to want to meet the president of South Korea, but she had another identity: the United States Federal Goodwill Ambassador. This is due to the cheap status she was given to be in charge of Vice President Al Gore's campaign finance. This identity was invalid when she left the United States, but the South Koreans didn't know about it, and she pulled the tiger skin to make a big banner, and after contacting the U.S. Embassy, she knew that there was indeed this position, and then she was received by the president.
"Miss Gianna, may I ask why you have come to me?"
"I'm here to protest against your country's Ministry of Culture's ban on parade signs."
"Protest against what? Didn't the Ministry of Culture say that? It's to prevent the people from thinking that it's something that simulates the north, and it's the friendship of our government, right? Moreover, if Miss Gianna comes to talk about this, then the identity should not be the ambassador, but the president of John Smith & Company. I don't know if this counts as a private abolition? ”
"Of course not," Gianna glanced at the president, who in her eyes could be a mere South Korean president. "America is a free and free America, and it allows all kinds of cultures to coexist, including this big culture. Why can't a project that can be performed in Washington be performed in Seoul, and as far as we know, contacts between the North and the South at the highest levels are about to unfold, and excluding each other's cultures, doesn't seem like a good move, right? ”
At this time, the president felt a strange light in Gianna's eyes, and his subconscious began to agree with the other party's statement. Yes, South Korea is a free society like the United States, and North Korea is a closed country that rejects foreign factors, so why should it worry about what comes from the north? "Well, Miss Gianna has a point," he nodded, "but after all, it's something decided by the Ministry of Culture, and the parade probably hasn't been arranged in this regard, right?" ”
"Of course," said Gianna, "of course, as a government, you can't just change your decision, but there is a compromise in this matter. ”
King is not disgusted by the South Korean government's executive order prohibiting parades with giant signs, which is not necessarily necessary in Washington, Tokyo, Dongseong, or Seoul. However, the day after the ban was issued, the ban issued by the South Korean Ministry of Culture was slammed by the National Assembly, and it was deemed a ban on "choking and abandoning food". However, despite this, the ban was also issued by the Ministry of Culture, and it could not be changed "overnight", so the parade plan was still not allowed to be modified in any way, and this news was only an episode for the parade, and no one would pay attention to it.
However, on the day when millions of Koreans gathered in Seoul, that is, on the day of the parade, King found that he really underestimated Gianna's energy. Just as the parade convoy started, there was a sudden roar in the sky, and Seoul, as the capital of South Korea, like the capital of a qiē country, should not allow ordinary planes to pass over, even if it is a civil aircraft, it can only fly to Incheon, not Seoul.
"Brother Zhenwu, is this another surprise from you?" Kim Tae-hee pointed to the air, and the planes actually spewed out colorful mist, and the words "DES" were clearly displayed on them, but looking at the performance of the planes, it was obvious that they had not made a lot of preparations.
"This?" King thought of the South Korean parliament's move yesterday, and then thought that it was actually to open the way for this, "I didn't make this one, but I used the name of DES, what's going on?" ”
"I think Anna made this," Reese said happily, "she's a person who doesn't admit defeat, and if Zhenwu offends her, she'll definitely make something beautiful, and this one will be beautiful." ”
"It's beautiful," King nodded, "I don't know, how did she get it!" At this time, the plane of the performance had passed, but he found a few small black dots in the sky again, "What? And helicopters! ”
Helicopters are not as impressive as airplanes, but they stay in the air for much longer and are more eye-catching.
"What?" "So, why don't you let everyone watch a parade or a helicopter show?" ”
"Brother Zhenwu, there's a text banner under that helicopter!" Kim Tae-hee said.
"I know," King's eyes were much better than hers, and he had already seen long banners fluttering below, with "DES", "MGM", and "Legally Blonde" written on them, and a fourth one, "John Smith", "This Gianna, what are you doing!" "He was a little angry.
"What's wrong?" Reese said, "Isn't that the title of the movie and the three companies involved?" Any questions? As she spoke, she waved her hand at the helicopter, which was even more charming, making the surrounding audience scream.
During the whole parade, King's face looked gloomy, but fortunately this is already Seoul, and Kim Tae-hee doesn't need his deliberate help to win everyone's support, otherwise, he may fail today.
In the distance, the convoy passed through the central square of Seoul, and the Seoul Grand Theater was in front, and King saw that Gianna's motorcade was in front, and the woman did not participate in the parade, but her pomp and circumstance were not small.
"Anna, what are you doing?" King quietly got out of the car and said to Gianna.
"What? I persuaded the president and members of the National Assembly of South Korea that they were not opposed to propaganda on parades, was there anything wrong? Not everything is only something you can do, I can do. ”
"Yes," said King, "you do prove it, but what about that John Smith!" ”
Gianna said, "It's my company, what's wrong?" ”
"Of course, it's true for movies, but with such a high-profile promotion of John Smith on the territory of Asia, do you really think that the Black Gold Family is an ornament?" At the beginning, Gianna didn't think about any changes when she came up with the company name, and it was very normal to register a company called John Smith in the United States, and no one would associate anything with it? However, the name "John Smith" may not be anything to the public, but it has a different meaning for the five major families, representing the Smith family, and playing this banner on the land of Asia is equivalent to a provocation to the black gold family.
Gianna didn't expect this at the time, and couldn't help but be a little shocked, but then she came back to her senses, "It's nothing, I'm talking about my company, the Black Gold family has to think that it's the Smith family, that's their cognitive problem, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me." ”
"You have a point," said King, "and let me take care of it." With that, he walked coldly into the theater, ready to watch the show.
Gianna actually regretted it a little, if she let King deal with it, it would be invisibly equivalent to owing him a favor again, and it was really not worth spending a favor like this. And King's attitude also shows that he is not interested in his arrangement, and the distance between himself and him may be a little farther.
"Anna, you won't be happy if you do this," Kim Tae-hee also got out of the car and was about to enter the theater, and said to her.
"Wouldn't you be happy, then?" Gianna said with annoyance, she was in a bad mood at this time.
Kim Tae-hee didn't regard her as his opponent at all, and said softly, "Actually, it's not a difficult thing for Anna to think that he won't be angry." ”
"Would you be so kind?" Gianna said angrily, "Say, what's the conspiracy?" ”
"Conspiracy?" Kim Tae-hee said dissatisfiedly, "What conspiracy? I'm talking about what Miss Anna lost to me, and if you hurry up and do it, Brother Zhenwu might be very interested. ”
"You mean the floor of the World Trade Center?" Gianna said, "Don't worry, what I promised will be there." ”
(In order to express her sense of survival, Gianna even induced the South Korean government to allow her to use airplanes for propaganda on the parade, and when she was proud, she forgot what kind of shock John Smith would bring.) )
