Chapter 96: Play Big
(I ask for collection, and I recommend it!! )
Staying until the beginning of July, during which all the global music alliances were handed over to Amazon, Lu Xi and Wan Xingnian also formulated the next North American regional promotion plan and European expansion plan.
Domestic companies received the acquisition money on July 1, after receiving Sun Mingwei's notice, Lu Xi encouraged Hong Xuedong, although the promotion plan has been drawn up, but this year's investment is only three million US dollars, three million US dollars seems to be a lot, but the advertising price in the United States is far from being able to reach in China, and the promotion in North America is also around universities and some large cities, and if you want to let the Internet ants spread quickly, the Golden Gate Bridge plan without cost has to be done, and Lu Xi also thinks that this is a pastime before returning to China.
Hong Xuedong was reluctant for a hundred times, Lu Xi and Wan Xingnian kept persuading, and Melanie, who was clamoring on the side, and Fan Ning, who was not making much trouble, persuaded the four of them for a morning, and Hong Xuedong's ears were calloused, so he said helplessly with a bitter face: "Just this time." ”
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Xi pulled the four of them to sit down and discussed when the best effect could be achieved.
Fanning excitedly proposed: "July 4th, it is National Day, almost all the country is closed, most people will go out for picnics and parties to celebrate, let's jump on the Golden Gate Bridge to celebrate, it will definitely be a sensation in the United States." ”
Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, only to think that Fan Ning didn't have a head, this was a trick, the whole country was celebrating National Day, and they were likely to be detained if they made such a play.
Without waiting for him to refuse, Fanning seemed to see that he had doubts, and said with a smile: "Since there is a Silicon Valley, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened, and San Franciscans have been used to marching on the streets on this day every year to demand a wage increase, and it is okay for us to do this." ”
Lu Xi knows what boys of this age in the United States are thinking, except for being talented in computers, Fanning has similar ideas to his American classmates who have a good relationship with him in Redwood Tree in other aspects, and there will always be some strange ideas, and they are all about playing until they are happy, and they will think about the consequences after playing.
Wan Xingnian and Melanie both said that there would be no problem, and raised their hands in favor of Fan Ning's suggestion, Hong Xuedong just wanted to return to China as soon as possible without any opinion, Lu Xi thought for a while, and said ruthlessly: "Then it's decided." ”
After the decision was made, several people were waiting for the arrival of July 4th, and when they waited for the morning of July 4th, a group of five people drove two cars straight to the Golden Gate Bridge.
The weather was very good, and the temperature was only 24 degrees, because there were more cars on the Golden Gate Bridge on holidays than in the past, and there were more people coming out to play on the sidewalks on both sides of the bridge than in the past.
Lu Xi is no stranger to this place, and has passed by here many times, but it is the first time he has walked on the bridge. The bridge deck is more than sixty meters away from the sea, and when you look down, it gives people a sense of dizziness, Lu Xi also deliberately approached the inside and did not look down, followed Wan Xingnian, Hong Xuedong and Melanie in front of him, and Fan Ning, who was holding a camera in his hand, walked forward, while looking at the huge steel frame on the bridge in front of him from time to time.
The group had only walked more than three hundred meters, and there were still five or six hundred meters away from the middle of the bridge, Fan Ning in front of him suddenly stopped laughing, and when he looked over, he saw Hong Xuedong's calves trembling and squatting down.
Lu Xi felt that he was embarrassed enough, and he was afraid that he would be found out that he was afraid of heights after a few people, but he didn't expect Hong Xuedong to be more embarrassed than himself, and then Fan Ning laughed heartlessly twice, and saw that Hong Xuedong's calf who was picked up for Wan Xingnian trembled, his fat face turned pale, and he suddenly shook his head and said: "Yes, it seems that today's big drama can't be played." ”
Wan Xingnian also knew that Hong Xuedong was like this, and several people's plans could not be completed, so he looked at Lu Xi with a wicked smile and said, "Why don't you try Lu Shao?" ”
Lu Xi glanced back, hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't even dare to look down." ”
"Anyway, let's make a show, let's pull Xuedong and help him over." Fanning turned off the camera in his hand and went to Lahong Xuedong to the guardrail of the bridge.
Hong Xuedong had a bitter face and said in a pleading tone: "I'm going to be scared to pee, you can't let me go?" ”
Seeing that Hong Xuedong eased up a little at this time, his face was not as pale as just now, and he dared to open his mouth to speak, Lu Xi stretched out his foot and kicked his calf, seeing that his calf was no longer shaking, he smiled: "Aren't you scared to pee?" You'll close your eyes later. ”
After speaking, he beckoned Melanie to call the police, and asked Wan Xingnian and Fan Ning to pull Hong Xuedong to the side of the bridge railing.
Wan Xingnian and the two pulled the person over, and whispered to Hong Xuedong: "You close your eyes, hold on to the railing, except for the police, whoever pulls you will not let go." ”
Hong Xuedong drove the two to the railing, and he didn't dare to look down, his eyes were closed, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to move when the two walked away, even if there was a railing in front of him, he was afraid of falling.
There are not many pedestrians around, and occasionally passers-by don't know what Hong Xuedong is going to do, some people are afraid that he will jump, so they hurriedly call the police, and there is a single middle-aged white man who went over and hugged him to death.
Even though Hong Xuedong was scared, he didn't want to give up even if he had reached this point, listening to the person behind him talking about chirping birds, he didn't hear the siren, he just refused to let go, and he made a gesture to climb the railing, giving people the feeling that he was really determined to die.
A few people made such a fuss, and the pedestrian passage that was relatively smooth just now suddenly crowded and noisy, and the driver in the middle of the bridge also found that someone was going to jump off the bridge, and he was careless and chased the car in front of him, and then seven or eight cars continued to rear-end, and the scene was a mess.
Hearing the sound of the crash and the sound of brakes, Hong Xuedong still didn't move, Fanning was still playful, and Melanie and Wan Xingnian only felt bad.
Wan Xingnian hurriedly grabbed Lu Xi, who was looking at the collision on the bridge, and said, "You take Fanning with you, stay away from here, let's sacrifice Mr. Hong alone." ”
Lu Xi also knows the law of the United States, and several people have made such a fuss, and now there are seven or eight cars rear-ended on the bridge one after another, although there are no casualties, they may all be detained for the crime of disturbing the peace.
Things have come to this point, Hong Xuedong has to continue acting, Lu Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Then you can only sacrifice him." ”
Dragged Fan Ning, who was still filming, back, Lu Xi pondered for a while and called Wan Xingnian, and said a few words in Melanie's ear, and the three of them retreated from the crowd.
Melanie called the police, the police have not yet come, the TV station that got the news first has arrived, and it is the use of helicopters to broadcast the scene of the scene, the helicopter is hovering in the air, and the siren sounded on the side of the bridge in less than five minutes, because there was a car accident on the bridge, the police car could not drive in, the police could only trot over, at this time on the sea, the rescue team has also arrived at the place of the incident, and is waiting for someone to jump down to collect the body.
Hong Xuedong was surrounded by a group of people, Lu Xi, Wan Xingnian and Fan Ning stood more than ten meters away, watching the bridge blocked by them, I don't know which TV station and plane were dispatched, Wan Xingnian smiled bitterly: "This time it's really a big game." ”
Lu Xi laughed twice and said, "Let's deal with the aftermath as much as possible." ”
Fan Ning still smiled heartlessly: "It's okay, you can spend money on things, so that the effect is better." ”
This effect is really good, but it is also a little troublesome to solve it, and it is no problem to detain it, Lu Xi is only afraid that Hong Xuedong will be prosecuted for this.
A group of policemen trotted over while a few people were talking, and seeing that the suicide wanted to be controlled by pedestrians, they dispersed the surrounding crowd, and easily pulled Hong Xuedong down and took him to the bridge, Melanie has been following the police, explaining to the police as she walks, and the helicopter has left the scene after a few more laps.
A farce written and directed by several people dispersed, pedestrians returned to normal, the patrol police came to deal with the rear-end collision incident to ease traffic, and Lu Xi and the three of them also walked straight to the bridge, driving to follow the police car in front.
*******************************
Hong Xuedong was sentenced to detention for disturbing the peace, and after the mediation of the lawyer and Hong Xuedong took the initiative to bear the loss of the owner of the rear-end accident, he was released the next day, but he was still because of the National Day, a day when the whole United States celebrated, disrupting social order and deliberately creating chaos, and was listed as an undesirable persona non grata and banned from re-entering the country for five years.
Because the two of them returned to China tomorrow, and a lawyer came forward to coordinate and pay a deposit, Hong Xuedong was deported without implementing compulsory measures.
After taking Hong Xuedong back, looking at his sad expression, Lu Xi smiled heartlessly: "It's okay now, you can do technology in China with peace of mind in the future." ”
Hong Xuedong read the newspaper brought by Melanie, smiled helplessly, and said, "You kid is really a cheater." ”
Lu Xi said with a smile: "We will return to China tomorrow, Lao Wan has arranged a press conference, and you will come forward to apologize in the afternoon and create a positive image for our company." ”
Hong Xuedong smiled bitterly, and Lu Xi said: "You didn't live in it in vain this night, you must not have imagined how much the number of Internet ant users has increased since yesterday's live broadcast to before we came to pick you up." ”
After the live broadcast of the helicopter on the TV station, before noon, many websites in the United States frantically reprinted the news that Hong Xuedong, the largest shareholder of Ant Moving, was stopped by jumping the Golden Gate Bridge in order to fulfill his gambling contract. Since the news was reprinted on the Internet, from noon to 6 o'clock in the evening, the number of registered users of Internet ants has increased by nearly 120,000, and yesterday evening and early this morning, several TV stations in the United States also reported the incident, from last night to the time they went to pick up Hong Xuedong, the number of users increased by 310,000.
After listening to Lu Xi, Hong Xuedong leaned his head on the backrest and said, "It's a shame that everyone has lost the United States." ”
Lu Xi laughed and said: "You are also a celebrity in the IT industry now, and in tomorrow, this matter will almost be known to the whole world." ”
Hong Xuedong smiled helplessly again and asked: "Less than 500,000 users are banned from entering the country for five years, is it a bit of a loss?" ”
Lu Xi smiled: "It's not a loss at all, it's good for our global plan." ”
