Chapter 4: Conference (recommendation required)

On the morning of April 12, 1990, the weather was sunny.

The turbulent Tianhan Empire consortium held its first press conference since its establishment a month ago, and most news media in the United States were invited to participate in this conference.

To this end, the United States also arranged for ABC Broadcasting Company to conduct a nationwide live broadcast.

When he was about to speak on stage at the press conference, Liu Guangrong walked around very nervously. It was the first time that old Liu appeared and spoke in front of such a multimedia friend. His tongue stammered a bit. Although there was a speech and a translator beside him, he was For an honest person, he couldn't hold on to this scene.

"It's okay, Dad, just follow the draft and discuss it with us, and leave the rest to me."

Liu Yu said confidently.

"Okay, anyway, if you don't say anything in the end, you will lose your face. I will throw the pot to you anyway."

Liu Guangrong laughed loudly.

"Dad, are you ready? This is the first step for our family business to enter the world!"

"Let's go."

The two father and son came to the press conference and sat down. Next to the company executives and assistant to the president Angel (part-time translator).

At the same time, in the office of the president of the NBA headquarters, the "dictator" Stern and the current executive vice president of basketball operations of the league, Rod Thorne, sat next to the TV and watched the press conference, which is of great concern throughout the United States.

Looking at the little bit next to the theme of the press conference, Stern's eyes flashed with stars, just like looking at a peerless treasure.

As early as last night, Bruce Jr. called and told Stern that he was going to hold a press conference and told him the content in advance. Stern was very satisfied with this. He felt that Jr. would be a man, at least knowing to discuss with him. In addition, the content released today will also have a lot of benefits for the NBA. The matter of entering the NBA in the future will be infinitely magnified later, and its influence on the NBA will be further enhanced.

Haha, Stern is very happy to think of this. You must know that the four major leagues in the United States will join the NBA as soon as they come. He has not joined other leagues, and he will not be angry with his opponents in other leagues.

"Gentlemen, ladies, and friends from the media: Good morning, everyone! First of all, on behalf of the Tianhan Empire Foundation, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you all for coming!"

...

"The Tianhan Empire Consortium decided to donate 50 million US dollars in the name of the company group to help people living in poverty-stricken areas in various cities in the United States."

"I want to explain this point first. The purpose of the Tianhan Empire Consortium is to serve the people. At present, our consortium can only do charity."

"How to make the specific arrangements? First, we will buy living supplies like the relevant departments of the United States. This includes fruits, meat, rice and other things that people need in the slums, such as pots and pans in everyday life."

"Of course, these daily necessities will be open and transparent for everyone to see. Here, I would like to say hello to the management present here. Every dollar spent in helping the people in slums this time must be spent on those in need. If the group If anyone inside collects rebates with shoddy goods, I will ask the newly formed lawyers in the group to sue and go to jail in the future!"

"I continue to say that some executives within the group will be selected to participate in this charity, and they will go to the slums of various cities to send them warmth."

"Our Tianhan empire consortium will send such warmth to not only the United States, but also poor and backward countries such as Africa and Asia every year."

"Papa Papa", everyone in the audience stood up and applauded.

There are a lot of rich people these days, but this Chinese upstart is definitely the first to spend so much money for the sake of the poor.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Now I want to give you a grand introduction. The child next to me is my son. He has just turned six this year. He is a genius child. In fact, my son has helped a lot from my fortune to the founding of the Tianhan Empire consortium. Busy, I will retreat behind the scenes in the future, and my son will take care of all the affairs of the group."

"My son is giving a speech below."

After Liu Guangrong finished speaking, he finally let out a sigh of relief. God, I can finally be handsome. Let the stinky kid deal with people, and I will enjoy the life of the rich in the future.

Although Liu Guangrong is handsome, other people don't think so.

Ah, no, I can do such a big thing at such a small size. Everyone except the management of the group can't believe it, and the media reporters have been shining at this small thing with flashing lights.

Liu Yu finally walked to the front of the stage and took a deep breath.

"Hello everyone, my name is Bruce Liu, you can call me by my English name. Yes, I will slowly participate in everything in the consortium at the moment. My family is just one child. I always want to inherit these, so I am slowly learning now. Up."

In the office of the president of the NBA headquarters, Rhode asked Stern in shock: "President, this is the genius child you mentioned, the Asian man about to move to New York."

"That's right, Rod, don't underestimate this little idiot, this little idiot, he suffered a lot when I first met him."

Stern smiled impatiently.

Ron, the vice president, doesn't believe that such a small person has such an ability.

"You'll know if you keep reading." Stern knew Ron would not believe it, and honestly he wouldn't believe it if he hadn't seen the kid.

"Then Bruce, why did the Tianhan Empire Consortium suddenly decide to carry out charity assistance to those living in slums?"

Yes, not only the people sitting underneath but also the people watching the live broadcast next to the TV don't understand.

"Let me explain this point first. The main reason for helping these people living in slums is that I am a Chinese. Everyone knows that our country’s very resounding slogan is "Serve the People", and my family also adheres to it. Acting on this purpose."

"Although my family is in business, it will not affect our annual donations to poor areas around the world."

"There is a saying in our country: The most painful thing to call people is that they have no money while they are alive, and the most painful thing is that they die and money is not spent."

"After all, a person’s life is very short. Even if someone has money, it’s a tragic thing that he doesn’t live to enjoy it. Then who will end up with the money? Of course it’s those people’s children holding it. The inheritance earned by their parents all their lives goes to eat, drink and have fun. Does such a person have a meaningful life?"

All the people below were quietly meditating.

"So it's better to use this money that you don’t need for the time being to help those in need. You have to know that although in everyone’s opinion, this money is just a small amount of money for those rich second-generation friends to eat a meal, but How many families can be saved."

"At present, the Tianhan Empire Consortium has just started. After a few years, when the group stabilizes, it will set up schools, hospitals, etc., and then help those children in poor areas to go to school, and help those who have diseases that need treatment for free treatment."

"In the future, people who live in slums are welcome to apply for jobs at the companies under the Tianhan Empire Consortium. I cannot guarantee that all people will come to the consortium to find jobs, but the consortium will release restrictions. Anyone who has the ability to work steadily and steadily is fine. To apply for a job, some ordinary employees in the group will not use diplomas as an assessment standard."

...

Liu Yu excitedly talked about the future direction of the group, and most of the people below found it impractical. This cannot be solved with a simple tens of millions, at least tens of billions.

This may be difficult for others, but for Liu Yu, it is too simple. The financial turmoil and World Cup gambling in the next few years, including those stocks that can rise in the new century, were all the capital that Liu Yu continued to squander.

Although it was an external press conference, Liu Yu also planned to announce a few things about group reform at the press conference.

"I hereby declare that neither ordinary employees nor senior management within the Tianhan Empire Consortium are allowed to discuss the politics of various countries privately, and that any racial or other discriminatory incidents in the group are not allowed. You are salaried workers, not a politician. , Don’t be confused about your positioning."

"In everything that someone has violated the above-mentioned content, the management will apologize face to face if anyone commits the offence; if the management commits, the general manager apologizes; if the general manager commits the offence, I personally apologize on the spot in the name of the official group."

"I hope that there should be no racial distinctions between men and women in the group. Everyone is born equal. It's just that some people have money and some people have no money. Apart from that, there are no other classes, even though I am a group. Heir to the company, but if I don’t usually do well in the company, you can also give me opinions."

"The group will also set up an inspection office to supervise the personnel situation of the group's headquarters, including all its industries, and those who commit criminal offences will be dealt with in accordance with the law."

After speaking, Liu Yu was waiting for questions from the media.

"Bruce, can I ask you a personal question?"

"of course can."

"Bruce, what are you going to do next? As far as I know, you and your father are visiting the United States, and the visa date should be coming soon according to the time."

Liu Yu had considered this aspect long ago.

"On this question, I will answer this kind journalist friend."

"Yes, the visas of my father and I will expire at the end of this month, but we have applied for at least two months of renewal with the relevant authorities. We will return to China after the consortium stabilizes."

You can apply for a B-2 American tourist visa for traveling, entertainment, visiting relatives and friends, seeking medical treatment, attending conferences, going to exhibitions, handling personal affairs, etc. in the United States. The B-2 American tourist visa can be divided into 3 months validity, 1 year validity, 3 years validity, 5 years validity, 10 years validity and permanent validity. The number of entries is also divided into single entry and multiple entry validity. The U.S. embassies and consulates in different countries or regions or different consulates in the same consulate have great discretion over the validity period of the visa or the number of entries. Residents on Hong Kong Island are more likely to apply for a B-2 visa valid for multiple entries for 1 to 5 years. Residents from Mainland China are more likely to apply for a B-2 visa valid for 3 months to 1 year, valid for one or multiple entries.

Liu Yu successively answered several questions raised by reporters later.

"Next we will invest in a lot of companies. I like basketball better. Maybe I will get a team to play."

Liu Yu said with a smile happily.

Here, Stern waited so long to advertise to the NBA.

"Ah," "I want to buy an NBA team. This is big news. Are you planning to buy it in that city?" The media reporters underneath were dispatched one after another, just to learn about the hobby of the little ones.

You must know that the Big Four does not mean that you can get in if you have money, let alone the third-ranked NBA. In the history of this association, no foreigner has bought a team to operate it.

"Then what NBA team are you preparing for?"

"This is a commercial secret, I keep it secret for the time being, and everyone can see it later."

This little monkey is good, everyone in the audience no longer underestimates this genius, who can answer the questions of media reporters at such a young age, and he is very thinking, not simple!

...

The press conference finally ended, and Liu Yu successfully showed himself in the eyes of everyone in the United States.

In the eyes of those people, this conference shocked the United States and even the whole world. After all, the rich people in the past used their money to invest in charities and funds.

Now that there are people who are so close to the people, they have arranged for the managers underneath to go to the countryside to comfort these poor ghosts. This is definitely super news.

And Liu Yu has a plan to build the group's reputation by helping the poor in the slums, and then to lay a solid foundation for him, whether it is a consortium or a newly established team, to enter the big city of New York.

Now all people in the United States know that their family is a great good person, and the danger will be much less in other places in the future. Those gang members who have no family members have lived in the slums. This time, the Tianhan Empire Consortium helped them, which is to save them. For their family's life, let alone anything else, don't ask for retribution from the spring, at least not secretly stumbling.

There are also many NBA All-Star players such as Allen Iverson, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and other superstars who currently live in slums. If they can help or support them, to At that time, they would definitely join their team. At that time, the team would definitely dominate for a long time. Thinking about this, I feel happy.

On the other hand, Stern nodded in satisfaction and said to Vice President Rod.

"Well, this kid is not a simple character, right?"

Rod Ping regained his good mood and said with a smile: "The president still has a vision. Now our NBA's influence has increased a lot. The little guy Bruce, a popular fried chicken, advertises for us. In the past few months, we will be all over the United States. focus."

If Liu Yu heard Luo say that by the side, he would definitely jump to the desk and point at Luo Luo and curse: You are the fried chicken, and your whole family is chicken. I have my own traffic.

"Continue with the notice, arrange for the management of the team owners to come to the headquarters for a meeting, and also publicly announce in the media to welcome Bruce to the NBA family."

"Yes, I know what to do."

After this very meaningful press conference was held, in fact, many people still disliked the nouveau riche father and son, and of course some people hope to cooperate with them. The scope of this cooperation is large, such as investment, and for example, some NBA team owners have long wanted to sell the team. This does not see a fool coming over with money, they are not happy in their hearts, people are fools with a lot of money, and it’s so fragrant. !

The media reporters waited at the door of the hotel where the Lius and his sons were resting, ready to grasp first-hand news at any time.

After returning to the hotel, Liu Yu and his son found Zhang Chao, who had been dealing with the contract in the hotel room, and He Miao, who was currently doing nothing, and planned to go to the restaurant for lunch.

The main reason is that there are other finishing tasks that have not been completed yet, so I need to explain.

At the table, four people were eating Chinese food happily. The main reason was that Liu Guangrong and Zhang Chao were not used to western food, and they were not full enough. , Now, everyone blushes, and they are all rounded up a lot.

"Brother He, you have been in the United States for so long. Do you know any Chinese private investigators? It is best to be a Chinese with a good character who can guarantee the privacy of customers."

"What are you looking for a private detective, Xiao Yu, haven't you found a lot of American eyeliners?"

He Miao ate the braised lion head and said.

"I need to do something, I don't want those Americans to know."

What to do, of course, is to find someone. Those superstar Liu Yu had only seen them living in slums on Baidu in his previous life, but who paid too much attention to the specific location.

If you have a reliable private investigator to help with the investigation, you can get to the other party in advance, stupid.

"Okay, I will ask my other friends to see if I can find them."

"Then trouble brother He, tell the other party that the reward will not be less."

"Dad, haven't you called my mom? We still have a few months to go back."

"I hit it. I don't know what your mother said about me when I went back this time. The whole family was shocked by such a big thing."

As early as when Liu Yu received the lottery prize, he sent back a lot of money. Now his mother Zhao Chun has taken the initiative to "lay off". With the money sent back, he bought a lot of facades and houses in a few good places in the city center. I am going to renovate and rent out, now I am almost becoming a charter wife, haha.

"That's good, Dad, I will call Angel soon and ask her to take us to see the listing. We should also buy some big villas to live in."

"Okay, your kid's heart is quite big. You can't live in this one. If you buy a few more, you can lose the house."

Liu Yu thought about the follow-up actions while eating, but he didn't listen to Liu Guangrong's complaints at all.

There must be a house, and there will always be a place to live when studying abroad. Yes, the four places of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle must have real estate, and to be in the rich area, security must be paid attention to. After being reborn, Liu Yu became even more pitiful.

The last is the car. First, buy a few private cars and commercial cars that the group needs. A few years later, I acquired a car brand company and later specialized in internal production of my own cars.

After lunch, everyone went to their own affairs. Liu Yu was ready to take a nap. You know, he is still a child.
