Don attended the charity gala initiated by the Coca-Cola Company, and he didn't pull out a dime! Tang has amassed astronomical fortunes at a miraculous rate, and more recently, he has made tens of billions of dollars in the global gold futures market. Unfortunately, unlike the wealthy in the United States, Tang, who is from China, is not keen on charitable donations. Prior to this, he had never attended any charity dinners and had no donation records. I thought that this time I participated in Coca-Cola's charity dinner, Tang would change...... But the entire charity auction process lasted several hours, and Don did not participate in a single bid. Don's rapid rise is dependent on the free business environment of the United States, and it is initially estimated that Don has accumulated a fortune of $50 billion in the United States, but he has no idea of giving back to the society, and I have to say that he is really stingy and picky...... "The front page headline of the New York Daily News.

Tang Bao patiently read the entire report, and the report unabashedly aimed the finger at him.

"Hoo ......"

Resisting the urge to scold his mother, Tang Bao flipped through several other newspapers, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Outlook Weekly, etc., except for the New York Daily News, other newspapers and periodicals did not report the relevant news at all, even for last night's charity party, the media only mentioned it a little in a corner, but no media stared at him.

"Boss, only the New York Daily News published this special report, and no other media followed up!" Kate said when she saw Tang Bao flipping through other newspapers.

Well.

As Kate put it, with the exception of the New York Daily News, which was a bit glaring, the newspapers did not react.

New York Daily News...... Kate, have we offended this newspaper lately? Tang Bao asked with a frown. The New York Daily News press release was marked with a very clear hostility. He wantonly exaggerated Tang Bao's worth and wealth, deliberately provoked the American people's hostility towards him, and even implicitly pointed out that Tang Bao was only plundering the wealth of the United States, and the development of Tang Bao's company should be boycotted and restricted.

Before.

Major news newspapers and radio stations in the United States have both good and bad evaluations of Tang Bao, some praise them, and some critics, but they have not yet taken a very obvious position, and they are all relatively neutral. However, from this New York Daily News report, Tang Bao noticed a change.

"Probably not!" Kate thought for a moment, and didn't think of where she had had a bad deal with the New York Daily News. Tang Bao was previously short in gold futures. disappeared from public view for more than half a year, and there was no contact with the reporter of that newspaper. And she worked in Phoenix Investment Group before she served as Tang Bao's personal assistant, and she also knew that Phoenix Investment Group, like Tang Bao, kept an unusually low profile, and had no chance to offend reporters. Recently, she has not heard that Tang Bao's company has a conflict with news reporters.

"Boss, although the outside world is relatively calm now, there is a report from the New York Daily News, and I believe it will soon be hyped by other media. It's better to take countermeasures as soon as possible! Kate reminded with a worried face. The last thing a journalist is afraid of a big matter, or that there is no news material to stir up. Recently, the outside world has made tens of billions of dollars in crazy Tang Bao, but in this regard, Tang Bao and Phoenix Investment Group are extremely uncooperative and do not respond. No matter how much the reporters want to hype, the public will only be amazed by Tang Bao's methods in the capital market for a while, and it is difficult to last. But put this matter together with Tang Bao's stinginess at the charity gala, it is a news that can be hyped.

Call.

Tang Bao exhaled lightly. I couldn't help but nod my head.

This matter is led by the New York Daily News, and I am afraid that other media will follow up as quickly as possible, Tang Bao can think of it. Maybe the noon TV, news programs, or other entertainment programs will be competing to talk about it. "The response must be taken out, but why the New York Daily News is suddenly so hostile has to be figured out."

"Kate, after dinner, you go to Phoenix Investment Group and ask President Horst to investigate why the New York Daily News has issued such a press release. By the way, I also told Horst about the Phoenix Charity Foundation program that I talked about last night, well, and ......"

"The redundancy problem that Mr. Hinton mentioned?" Kate asked.

"Hmm. That's right, that's it. You go and figure out the plans for layoffs at East West Bank and American Southern in Indiana, and whatever the reason, stop the layoffs. Even if you support those employees for nothing, you can't lay off employees! Tang Bao commanded solemnly.

"Understood."

Kate nodded solemnly, she participated in the whole meeting between Tang Bao and Hinton, so she naturally knew the significance of Tang Bao's move, and she didn't dare to be careless.

More than ten minutes later.

Kate quickly finished breakfast and left in a hurry, the tasks given to her by Tang Bao were extremely important, and she did not dare to delay in the slightest.

Meanwhile.

Tang Bao himself was not idle, and personally drove to the Coca-Cola Company.

More than half an hour later.

Tang Bao came to Coca-Cola, and at this time, there was a group of people standing in front of the headquarters of Coca-Cola. "It's a reporter!" When he saw this group of people holding microphones, cameras, voice recorders and other equipment in their hands, Tang Bao immediately understood that the group of people in front of him were all reporters.

The purpose of coming here is to verify the news that Tang Bao is a dime a dime at the charity gala.

Tang Bao has seen the newspaper of the New York Daily News, and this group of reporters who pay attention to the timeliness of news has no reason to be indifferent.

Return to the car and take out your sunglasses and put them on immediately.

Tang Bao's sudden appearance at Coca-Cola at this sensitive moment will inevitably give the outside world an association to make up for and eliminate "mistakes".

In order to reduce the trouble, Tang Bao simply put on sunglasses and avoided this group of reporters.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the New York Times, and it is said that Don, who attended the charity gala last night, did not donate a penny, is this news true?"

"What is your company's evaluation of Tang Yimao's unstoppable behavior?"

……

I saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walking out of the headquarters building of Coca-Cola, waiting for reporters to rush up to the door.

See here.

The man in the suit just smiled slightly, without the slightest panic, obviously he was used to this kind of scene and was sure to deal with it.

"First of all, thank you for your interest in the charity of the Coca-Cola Foundation. As for the matter of whether Mr. Tang donated on the spot at the charity gala...... At present, the staff of the foundation is still counting and sorting out the list of donations, but I have not read the list and cannot give a clear answer. The Foundation will complete and disclose the donation list to the public as soon as possible, and all answers are subject to the published donation list! The man in the suit replied unhurriedly with a smile on his face in front of a large number of reporters.

"I also noticed the reports of some newspapers, and in this regard, I can only sigh at the strength of this reporter's methods, even the staff of the Coca-Cola Foundation have not yet sorted out the list of donations, and the other party can be sure that Mr. Tang has no donations, not to mention anything else, at least this person is an incompetent news media person. Mr. Tang holds approximately 6% of the shares of The Coca-Cola Company through his company, Phoenix Investment Group, and is the third largest shareholder of The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola Foundation's source of funding is mainly corporate profits, so Mr. Tang is an undisputed philanthropist regardless of whether he donates or not. The man in the suit explained further.

Belch.

The Coca-Cola representative's answer shocked the reporters, who did not expect that the Coca-Cola Company would unabashedly support Tang Bao.

But.

The man in the suit also aroused the interest of some reporters, "Regardless of whether Mr. Tang donated at the charity gala or not", does that mean that the news that Tang Bao did not donate is true. For a veteran journalist, he may not have other skills, but the ability to take words out of context is a necessary basic skill in the profession.

Then.

Some reporters saw that Coca-Cola would not fall into the trap of Tang Bao, so they had no interest in delving into it, so they simply seized this loophole......

"The richest iron rooster, The Coca-Cola Company confirms that Don did not donate at the charity gala!" An unscrupulous reporter came up with a headline in mind.

……

"All answers are subject to the donation list published by the foundation, please take this matter seriously!" In the face of the bombardment of reporters, the man in the suit took the trouble to emphasize over and over again.

"Tang is the person who has attracted the most attention recently, even if you don't know the specific donation list, you should pay attention to Tang's donation, right?" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"It's a pity that I didn't qualify to attend last night's charity dinner, and I really don't know the details, all the circumstances are subject to the donation list disclosed by the foundation......" No matter how cunning the reporters are and how traps they set, the man in the suit is unmoved even if he is killed, and insists that "the donation list announced by the foundation shall prevail", and does not give the reporter any chance to seize the handle.

……

Tang Bao, who was wearing sunglasses, stood not far away and witnessed this scene. I was very satisfied with the answer of this executive of Coca-Cola. If this executive directly confirmed the news that Tang Bao did not donate, it would be really a cheat. Fortunately, the executive who came forward to deal with the reporter was not stupid, and he tried his best to protect Tang Bao. Perhaps, he also understands that Coca-Cola's predicament needs the support of Tang Bao, a major shareholder. Or maybe he was instructed by the top before he came out......

The reporters were still reluctant to give up, digging out their hearts and trying to talk about it, and the executives of Coca-Cola also patiently coped with it and played tai chi.

See here.

Tang Bao had no interest in observing, and walked directly towards the headquarters building of Coca-Cola.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

As soon as he walked into the hall of the headquarters building, Tang Bao was stopped.
