Chapter 561: Old Fox Bastard
After the signing representative finished speaking, the next step was the reporter's question time. At the beginning, the scene was calm, the questions were asked step by step, and the answers were decent.
After the two parties answered a few questions, Wu Weimin, who was sitting behind the rostrum, nodded to Wang Hai in the crowd, meaning to say, "You can fire." ”
Wang Hai raised his hand, and after Wu Weimin answered a question from a female reporter from another province, he immediately stood up and said: "First of all, congratulations to the organizing committee and Yafu Electronics Company for signing the contract. Then I would like to ask Chairman Wang Ziming of the organizing committee, I heard that the organizing committee intends to sell the broadcast rights of all events during the martial arts conference, is this news true? ”
Since the previous questions were all about signing a contract, it had always been Wu Weimin answering reporters' questions, Wang Ziming suddenly heard a reporter asking himself, first thought for a while, and then pulled the microphone in front of him, and said simply: "Yes." ”
After receiving Wang Ziming's affirmative answer, Wang Hai immediately asked: "So is the organizer confident that the broadcast rights will be sold?" Now even the broadcast rights of the Huaguo Football Super League have become chicken ribs! ”
Wang Ziming smiled for a moment, and then said, "Of course I have confidence. Our World Martial Arts Conference has been carefully prepared, and our organizing committee has done a lot of work. In particular, Comrade Zhao Changlan, deputy director of the Education and Sports Bureau, in order to spread the heroic post, took the Du Ping Martial Arts Performance Troupe to almost all over the world. It is no exaggeration to say that the World Martial Arts Conference we are going to hold can be called the word 'world'! Because we've invited world-class fighting stars. It's going to be a great event in the world of martial arts! Therefore, we are very confident in the sale of the broadcast rights of the event. In fact, we are now in contact with CCTV, and the two sides have negotiated very smoothly, and I believe that it will not take long to sign a formal contract with legal effect. ”
There was a whisper from the audience, and those familiar reporters quietly discussed the truth of the news.
There were CCTV reporters in the audience, and they were immediately questioned by their peers. These CCTV reporters just nodded lightly and didn't say much. They are just here to report the news, and they don't know much about CCTV's purchase of the broadcast rights of the event.
Wang Hai didn't pay attention to the whispers around him, but immediately asked: "But I heard that the organizing committee meant to sell the broadcast rights to Linhe Satellite TV, why did you suddenly sell the broadcast rights to CCTV again?" ”
Wang Ziming didn't think about anything else, nodded and said: "When we contacted Linhe Satellite TV, there were some terms that we didn't agree on, so in the end we had to change the TV station." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hai suddenly changed his words and said: "But I heard that Deputy Director Zhao Changshu once made a bet with Director Wu Weimin before, saying that if Deputy Director Zhao can't sell the broadcast rights of the event to Linhe Satellite TV, he will learn to bark three times in public, is this true?" ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Wang Hai's words were like a fuse, igniting the entire scene. These reporters, especially those from the print media, are looking for news gimmicks all day long for the sake of the sales of their respective newspapers, and Wang Hai threw out such a blockbuster news at this time, which is enough for them to be excited! Deputy section-level cadres, learning to bark in public, can definitely attract enough eyeballs!
The whisper just now immediately turned into a loud noise:
"Yes, he's right, I've heard the news. It's definitely true. ”
"What the hell is going on? Who is Zhao Changlan? How could he make such a bet with Director Wu? Isn't this playing the piano indiscriminately? Where do you still look like a national cadre? ”
"The relationship between Zhao Changshu and Wu Weimin must be very bad, right? I heard that they are the chief and deputy directors of the Education and Sports Bureau, is there a problem of uneven distribution of interests? ”
"There must be an inside story here! By the way, Zhao Changshu is also a member of the organizing committee of the martial arts conference, why didn't he appear in the guest seat today? Is he afraid that Director Wu will let him learn to bark? What a coward. ”
Some bold reporters even stood up directly and asked Wu Weimin, "Director Wu, can you tell us more about this matter?" ”
"Director Wu, you have won this bet, will you really let Deputy Director Zhao learn to bark in public?"
Sensitive journalists immediately unleashed their imaginations and began to speculate on the story behind this incident. The scene immediately lost control, and it was completely chaotic.
The most feared thing about the press conference is that there will be such a scene, because when a qiē is normal, these reporters will not ask some sharp questions at all, because every media knows that they can gossip about sports and entertainment stars, but they can't gossip about government officials, and if they are not careful, they will send their media into the abyss from which they will never recover. But as soon as there is such a riot scene in front of you, those pervasive reporters will ask all kinds of strange questions under the condition of hormone overproduction.
Looking at the out-of-control scene in front of him, Wang Ziming's face suddenly darkened. And the host of the press conference next to him was also a little flustered, and the best way to end the chaos in front of him was to end the press conference immediately.
But just when the host was about to announce the end of the press conference, Wu Weimin suddenly said loudly into the microphone: "Everyone be quiet!" Be quiet! Let me answer the question of this journalist friend just now! ”
Hearing that Wu Weimin really planned to answer this question, the people who were in turmoil below finally calmed down. Cameras, video cameras, microphones, voice recorders, and all kinds of messy equipment and interview equipment were all aimed at Wu Weimin. At this moment, Wu Weimin has really become the focus of attention.
Wang Ziming looked at Wu Weimin with a smug face, his face darkened, he couldn't wait to announce the end of the press conference immediately, and then go back to find out who leaked the news. When Zhao Changshu and Wu Weimin made a bet, seven or eight people from the organizing committee were present, and it was not difficult to find out who leaked the news from these seven or eight people.
But now that Wu Weimin has stood up to answer the reporter's question, of course he can't rudely prevent Wu Weimin from answering the reporter's question under the watchful eyes of many media. He could only pray in his heart that Wu Weimin could answer beautifully and not lose the face of the organizing committee.
"Wu Weimin, Wu Weimin, if you dare to talk nonsense, see how I clean you up!" Wang Ziming was secretly ruthless in his heart.
Wu Weimin secretly glanced at the direction of Zhao Changshu in front of many cameras, those reporters turned their backs to Zhao Changshu and didn't find him, but Wu Weimin had already discovered Zhao Changshu, and he began to talk calmly.
"I did make that bet with Deputy Director Zhao. If I lose, I will learn to bark in public, and if Deputy Director Zhao loses, he will learn to bark in public. Wu Weimin said without hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another whisper from the audience. Probably no one would have thought that Wu Weimin would admit it so simply, isn't he afraid of others criticizing the internal disunity of the organizing committee?
Wang Ziming, who was sitting in the guest seat, rubbed his temples vigorously and cursed secretly: "Bastard! ”
Wu Weimin ignored the whispering of the crowd, but continued to talk loudly, how to answer this question, he had already prepared a draft and memorized it N times. He not only wants to attack Zhao Changlan's prestige and reputation, but also makes it impossible for his superiors to find fault with him.
In order to achieve this goal, he spent a lot of thought, and he even spent 2,000 yuan to buy off the tabloid reporter Wang Hai, and asked Wang Hai to bring up the bet between him and Zhao Changshu at the press conference. After all, according to normal procedure, such a question cannot be raised at this press conference.
Zhao Changshu sat behind everyone, looking at Wu Weimin on the stage with interest, he was also very curious about what Wu Weimin would say next, because making a bet on such an occasion is a double-edged sword, and it is not only Zhao Changshu whose reputation is damaged, but he and Wu Weimin. Wu Weimin wouldn't be stupid enough to dig a grave for himself, right?
"I did make that bet with Deputy Director Zhao, but this does not mean that my relationship with Deputy Director Zhao is very bad, and even has a deep hatred, in fact, on the contrary, I have always had a good relationship with Deputy Director Zhao, we are not only colleagues, but also friends." Wu Weimin said step by step.
"Then why did you bet with Deputy Director Zhao to learn how to bark? Don't you think that this will do a lot of damage to your reputation and smear the face of the Organizing Committee of the World Martial Arts Conference? A reporter interjected.
"Oh, please don't interject just yet, listen to me slowly. Originally, the bet I made with Deputy Director Zhao was only known to a limited number of people, so there is no question of whether to smear or not. I don't know how you found out about it, but even now, I still don't think it's discrediting the organizing committee. Because the original intention of our bet was just to put pressure on the other person to do a better job! Wu Weimin ended his speech with a trembling chin.
"Director Wu, can I understand the bet between you as a joke between colleagues?" Wang Hai asked without losing the right time.
"It can be understood as a joke, but it's not just a joke. Because no one wants to lose, no one wants to learn to bark in public. Haha, because of this, Deputy Director Zhao and I have worked hard, and as a result, we finally lived up to the hopes of the organizing committee, we signed a sponsorship contract with Yafu Electronics Co., Ltd., and Deputy Director Zhao did not sign a contract with Linhe Satellite TV, but he was about to sign a broadcast contract with CCTV, it can be said that Deputy Director Zhao also did a very good job. But there is one point, our original bet was that he signed a broadcast contract with Linhe Satellite TV, not CCTV, so although he is doing a good job now, he should still learn to bark. Haha, of course, I won't force him, it's a joke to do a better job! ”
"But Deputy Director Zhao didn't come to the signing ceremony today, is he afraid that everyone will let him fulfill his promise? Hahahaha???????" A CCTV reporter said with a smile that he had taken the bet as a joke, and the atmosphere on the whole scene was relaxed.
After listening to Wu Weimin's explanation, Wang Ziming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he also scolded Wu Weimin for being an old fox bastard!
