Chapter 7: The Siege of Journalists
The moment Carla walked out of Caesars Palace Hotel, countless reporters were already flocking to her.
As journalists, their sense of news must be absolutely keen, otherwise they will not be able to eat this bowl of rice.
Moreover, the awards ceremony originally held at Caesars Palace was enough to attract attention, not to mention that now after the award ceremony, such a huge news broke out.
The future order of the Ministry of Defense was quietly handed down to Hammer Industries. This is undoubtedly the biggest news for these reporters, and it is also the most worthwhile thing to dig into.
The information about the change of chairman of Hammer Industries is still on the front page of Hammer Industries' official website, and all journalists can naturally know about it.
And they were keenly aware that it was a coincidence that the night after the change of helm of Hammer Industries was a charity dinner for the Department of Defense, which they would never believe.
Especially as Americans become more convinced of conspiracy theories, it is even less likely that they will believe that Hammer Industries' change of leadership has nothing to do with the subsequent receipt of an order from the Department of Defense.
Not to mention that the current chairman of Hammer Industries is a super-beauty, almost a typical American sweetheart.
There are even reporters who are wondering if there is a power deal between Hammer Industries and the Department of Defense or something.
Otherwise, so many arms companies, and even Stark Industries, which has always had a good track record of transactions with the Department of Defense, will not use it in the Ministry of Defense and use Hammer instead.
Everyone knows quite well what Hammer Industries' position in the entire military industry is like, not to mention that Hammer Industries is famous for relying entirely on imitation of Stark Industries' weapons.
At this moment, these reporters surrounded Carla like sharks that smelled blood in the sea.
Carla also didn't expect that she would be able to do so much just by coming to Las Vegas, and even attract so many reporters.
If it weren't for the many reporters around Carla now, Carla would have really thought that when Tony Stark left Caesars Palace, there was only one reporter to interview.
Apparently, there are far more journalists in Las Vegas than Carla could have imagined.
But the only thing to be thankful for is that Caesars Palace has equipped Carla with a team of security personnel, otherwise this kind of scene may not be said well, is Carla already drowning in the crowd of reporters?
"Miss Hammer, I would like to ask how you obtained the order from the Department of Defense?"
"Is it related to your change of chairman that day?"
"Did you play a crucial role in this contract deal?"
"Miss Hammer......"
The security guards were quite dutiful in securing Kara and isolating the reporters.
Unfortunately, they were able to prevent the reporter from approaching Kara, but there was no way to stop the reporter from constantly extending the recorder in Carla's direction and asking some extremely outrageous questions.
Seeing this, the leading security personnel also hurriedly said to Kara, "Let's get out of here quickly." ”
Carla nodded, not planning to have too much entanglement with the reporters here, so she approached her vehicle under the protection of the security personnel.
Seeing that Kara was about to leave their reporter's encirclement, a reporter who didn't know which newspaper it was also struggled, and tried hard to put the interview pen in his hand in front of Kara, almost hitting Kara in the face.
"Miss Hammer, we need to know the truth, and the American people need to know the truth, so that the lives of the soldiers in the United States who are going to operate in the future will not be affected because of the illegal transactions between you." That guy can be said to have used all his life's learning, and it was directly a big hat on Kara's head.
Hearing that guy's words, Carla couldn't help but stop her actions, because she knew quite well that in the United States, if you don't answer this kind of question head-on, someone might throw bricks directly at your company the next day.
Even if you're a giant of an arms company.
There's no way to avoid that.
"I appreciate your courage in asking these questions, but I can tell you that the deal between Hammer Industries and the Department of Defense is clear and straightforward, and there is no behind-the-scenes operation." Kara ended her answer succinctly.
His eyes looked at the press card of the man who had tried desperately to ask his own question.
Clarion Daily: Eddie Bullock.
After taking a deep look at the somewhat haggard face, Carla also sat directly into the car without looking back.
I never thought that I would be able to meet a guy in such a place who might become a deadly guardian.
Eddie naturally saw Kara look at his press card, but it was nothing to him, even if the new military industry boss remembered him, it was not necessary.
What you should do as a journalist is to report everything as it is, to report the most authentic things to the American people, and to hide nothing.
That's what journalists should do.
As for whether Carla will be like that Tony Stark, who directly bought the newspaper because of some news reports, Eddie has nothing to fear.
Even if that woman becomes her immediate boss, it doesn't mean that she can allow herself to tell lies.
Make fake news.
But all this was just a small episode for Kara, and it didn't affect her mood.
As for the cooperation between Hammer Industries and the Ministry of Defense, it is enough to have the company's public relations department come out and hold a press conference.
Kara had already called the company in the car, and the company invited the news media, which had a good relationship with Hammer Industries, as quickly as possible, to start reporting on how Hammer Industries had reached a consensus with the Ministry of Defense.
When the time comes, everything will have a clear answer.
As for what those netizens will think, and what those Americans with conspiracy theories will think, that's not a big deal for Hammer Industries.
After a while, those people will re-grasp the new hot events and boldly vent their thinking, so as to forget all the previous speculations about Hammer Industries.
When one hotspot comes out, the other hotspot will be covered.
But it also made Kara meet a guy who might become an important character in the future.
Obadiah, who had already returned to his room in Caesar's Palace, had seen what Kara had experienced upstairs, but his face was calm and he had no idea.
This kind of thing is not only experienced by Tony Stark, but also experienced by him, and almost every CEO of an arms company has experienced it.
But the only difference is that those guys are a little more restrained when it comes to them.
After all, in their opinion, the current Carla is just a rookie who has just taken over, and has no means.
As for the reason why Stark was a little more relenting before, it was only because Stark was likely to directly buy a reporter's company and then fire him because of a reporter's non-reintellment.
After that, there is no need for Stark to do anything more, and the news industry itself will ban the young reporter who was fired by Stark.
Kara doesn't have any success at the moment, so these reporters will naturally be a little presumptuous.
Of course, it is also because the news about Carla is somewhat explosive, after all, about the US Department of Defense.
Just digging up a little extra news is enough for these guys to reach for the Pulitzer Prize.
At this time, there was also a knock at the door.
"Come in."
“BOSS。” The man who came was Obadiah's secretary.
"Scheduled?" Obadiah didn't reply, just calmly asked his secretary.
"Yes, wait for her ......"
"I don't want to listen to your plans, I just want to see the results." Obadiah interrupted his secretary's words to explain to him, he didn't have the heart to know the plan.
