Three days later, a press conference was held as scheduled in the auditorium of the Heung Kong Police Headquarters Building on Armory Street.
The auditorium, which can accommodate 200 people, was packed.
There is no shortage of media in Hong Kong, from Phoenix News with an official background to street gossip magazines, and there are dozens of newspaper periodicals that can be named. At the same time, the news of the 'kidnapping case' released this time does not involve political opinions, but the bottom line of morality and law that all human beings should abide by, so even many radical newspapers that hold different views from the government on weekdays have sent reporters to report on it.
When the three officers of the Public Relations Section, who had brilliant police stars on their shoulders, walked on the stage, the auditorium instantly sounded with a dense shutter sound, and it took more than ten seconds for the venue to be quiet again.
"Friends from the media, social elites, good afternoon. I am Superintendent Lin Dong of the Public Relations Section of the Heung Kong Police, and on behalf of the police, I would like to announce to you the details of the 5.4 extraordinarily large kidnapping case......"
Superintendent Lin Dong spent a full ten minutes reading the text in his hand and publicized the beginning and end of the kidnapping case in detail.
"Alright, now it's question time!"
As soon as the words fell, a large arm was raised below, and Lin Dong smiled: "Please ask the third lady on the left hand in the second row to ask a question." ”
A very charming-looking young female reporter took the microphone, stood up and said, "Hello Sir Lin, I'm a reporter from Xinbao. From the report just now, we all know that Mr. Su Ming from the mainland has made great contributions to this kidnapping case, and it can be said that if there is no Mr. Su Ming, the outcome of this kidnapping case is unpredictable...... So, what I want to ask is, is Mr. Su Ming really an ordinary tourist, or is he a master of a mysterious department in the mainland who was sent to help the Xiangjiang police? Kindness...... Just like there was a movie called "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" many years ago. ”
There was a low burst of laughter. It stands to reason that this kind of strict occasion is a bit funny.
However, the newspaper industry is familiar with the style of Xinbao, which is a general newspaper for the common people. It's highly entertaining and completely reader-oriented. Gossip is always welcome, and this question actually represents the voice of many ordinary citizens in Xiangjiang.
Even Superintendent Lin Dong shook his head helplessly and smiled: "As far as I know, no, at least our police have not been notified by the central government." As for whether Mr. Su is a master. Now, he's here himself, so I can ask him to answer you. ”
The microphone was handed to the first row, Su Ming was dressed in a formal suit, took the microphone and stood up, turned back to the female reporter of the new newspaper and nodded slightly, and then pretended to be mysterious and said: "Speaking of mysterious masters, there are real masters present!" ”
The female reporter of Xinbao was stunned, and many reporters present also looked at each other, and even the police officers of the three public relations departments on the stage were a little curious.
Su Ming competed with a few reporters not far away. Said seriously: "Mr. Cha, the former boss of Ming Pao, created a series of divine skills such as Sunflower Treasure Book, Jiuyang Divine Skill and so on a few decades ago, if even I am a mysterious master, then Ming Pao is not a palace of martial arts?" Ming Pao's reporter friends are naturally masters. ”
A few reporters shrugged, looking like it was none of my business. The people present also chuckled, although Su Ming did not deny it positively, he had already given the answer with a humorous attitude.
"If you really have a mastery, please don't hide your secrets. Our police must be paying you a lot to poach you to be coaches. Lin Dong smiled, "Since Mr. Su talked about Ming Pao, then I will ask the reporter of Ming Pao to ask questions." ”
"Thank you!" A middle-aged male reporter wearing glasses in Ming Pao took the microphone and stood up: "First of all, I want to make a statement. I have definitely never practiced the Sunflower Classic! ”
The conference room was full of joy, the kidnapping case was successfully solved, and the atmosphere of the press conference was not solemn, and these humorous questions and answers made everyone's mood completely relaxed.
After everyone laughed for a while, the male reporter looked straight. He said: "I would like to ask Superintendent Lin Dong, those kidnappers, all of whom are from the mainland, but they are being sentenced to prison in Xiangjiang, does this mean that the cooperation between the police on both sides of the strait will be further strengthened?" Is it possible to share information? ”
Unlike Xinbao, Mingbao has always emphasized taste, strict style, and has paid great attention to the mainland.
The police were naturally very good at dealing with such questions, first emphasizing the central government's leadership over the SAR government, then highly praising the efficiency of the mainland police, and finally saying that the two sides would intensify cooperation on the basis of the Constitution and various bills of the SAR so as to better serve the public and crack down on crime.
Next, reporters from five media outlets, including Sing Tao Daily, Wen Wei Po, and Ta Kung Pao, asked questions respectively, and the Xiangjiang police, Su Ming, and Luo Jiaju, the owner of the incident this time, answered the questions respectively, and the real party, Miss Luo Jun, did not attend due to her physical and mental condition, and her father Luo Jiaju answered on her behalf.
After the introduction of the question session, the press conference did not end as usual, Lin Dong continued: "Friends from the media, here, I would like to announce two related news. The first news is that Yangchuan Zoo and Xiangjiang Ocean Park have formed a friendly partnership, and the two giant pandas of Xiangjiang Ocean Park, Ying Ying and Lele, will arrive at Yangchuan Zoo next month for a two-month cooperation and exchange exhibition. ”
The so-called 'friendly partner' relationship, the two sides do not have any mandatory rights and obligations, just at the bottom of their respective websites, friendly cooperation column, fill in the name of the other party's zoo and the link to the web page, it is not a big deal, if Su Ming is willing, he can basically form this relationship with all the zoos in the country, as long as the other party is a formal institution, there is no hatred of killing his father......
The exchange and cooperation journey between the giant panda Yingying and Lele, Su Ming still took some effort. In fact, the board of directors of the Hong Kong Ocean Park could not make the decision on these two pandas, and finally contacted the Guò police and consulted the upper echelons of the SAR government.
The government gave the green light and agreed on the same day, which was another opportunity to promote friendship between the mainland and Hong Kong.
Su Ming didn't expect that in the end, the board of directors of Xiangjiang came up with another moth, and these dogs and Japanese capitalists were so dark that they actually showed Su Ming the daily traffic of the panda pavilion, and listed a lot of numbers and tables to show how much the giant pandas can bring to Ocean Park every day.
Su Ming almost wanted to point his nose and scold, dignified Ocean Park, is there a lack of these little money? Just borrowed it for two months, and you were embarrassed to ask me for money? If I hadn't made a move, these two pandas might have become disabled cats, so you just wait and cry, and expect to rely on the two pandas to continue to make money and dream big.
The people at Ocean Park are all 'elites' with Western concepts in their minds, and they have carried forward the traditional Chinese culture of settling accounts with their brothers to the extreme, and they have calculated the expenses clearly, even the 'depreciation' of the future life of the pandas.
Su Ming thought this was a common practice at first, so he posted the 'algorithm' of Xiangjiang Ocean Park in his domestic zoo Q group, but the leaders of zoos around the group were dumbfounded, and it was the first time that they had heard that the life of animals could be depreciated.
If you think about it carefully, the truth is true, a panda can live for twenty or thirty years, and if it goes out for two months to 'communicate', it will reduce its 'value' by one percent.
But the giant panda is not a machine, and it also has depreciation?
In fact, this rental fee is not a lot of money for both parties, Ocean Park can't make a fortune with it, and Yangchuan Zoo won't become poor without this money, but the mainland zoo managers, including Su Ming, are still quite speechless. In the eyes of the West, this is a normal business practice, but in the eyes of the Easterners, it is too petty and unkind.
Most of the media people present had learned about the panda exchange through various channels in advance, and the news did not cause much of a sensation, and there was a burst of applause.
"Next, I announce the special resolution of the Hong Kong SAR Government, please stand ......"
The three police officers on the stage stood up first, but the reporters in the audience looked at each other, what special resolution? I didn't hear anything about it beforehand.
Only Su Ming himself was notified, left his seat, and stood on the first floor of the rostrum to wait.
Superintendent Lin Dong read the resolution in a steady voice, "...... It was decided to confer the title of Honorary Citizen of Hong Kong on Mr. Su Ming in recognition of his special contribution to Hong Kong. ”
After speaking, the auditorium burst into applause as expected, and most reporters were a little suspicious that they had misheard.
"Honorary Citizen" is a local honorary title commonly used in various places, and it is an encouragement and commendation given by local governments to outsiders who have made outstanding contributions. As the name suggests, honorary citizens, in addition to having 'honor', have the same rights as ordinary citizens.
Heung Kong also has this tradition, and it is not uncommon to be awarded honorary citizenship. To the surprise of the reporters, the announcement of the honorary citizens of Xiangjiang is usually carried out together with the award ceremony on July 1 every year, and the time has never changed, and it is announced in May, which is the first time.
Moreover, most of the so-called 'honorary citizens' are actually not real ordinary 'citizens', they are either rich or expensive, and real ordinary people have almost no chance of winning this honor.
In other words, the gold content of this honorary citizen is much higher than that of the honorary citizen announced on July 1 every year! It can even be said that this is the first civilian 'honorary citizen' of Xiangjiang.
After a long time, it was not until the moment Su Ming walked on the stage that thunderous applause broke out in the auditorium.
Obviously, awarding such an honorary title of "righteous and courageous" rescue hero is definitely more inspiring than awarding it to those wealthy people who have made significant contributions to the economy of Hong Kong!
"Tragedy, after so long, I'm a civilian." Su Ming thought to himself. (To be continued.) )
