Chapter 2154 Alternative Product Launch
The next day.
Many newspapers, TV stations, and radio stations carried out follow-up reports on the million-dollar reward, telling the whole process of old Sam disappearing and the house being burned down by angry people. In the end, most media agreed that , the million dollar reward is indeed a scam.
Only a few tabloids, in order to gain attention, swore that old Sam had been killed and the one million had been taken away.
But most people don’t believe it.
Mud, that's one million US dollars, not one hundred dollars. It will definitely be deposited in the bank. How can others rob it?
So the result of it being a scam is the most convincing.
In this regard, many people who participated in this incident shouted happily, and some who had not participated also talked about it.
In this way, the topic of a million-dollar reward that was about to disappear from the public eye became hot again.
Three days passed like this.
Just when the popularity of the topic began to decline, Ban Anshan found Old Sam again and gave him a Swiss bank check for one million dollars.
“Send the money over as soon as possible, and don’t think about making mistakes, otherwise we will freeze the check immediately, and not only will you get nothing, but you will also pay the price with your life.”
"No, please don't worry, sir, I'm not that stupid." Old Sam took the check tremblingly, looking at the string of zeros on it, goosebumps all over his body, and his whole body was excited. .
He has never seen so much money in his life!
Afterwards, Ban Anshan gave a few more instructions and left the forest hut where old Sam lived for refuge.
After sending the person away politely, Old Sam took the check and looked at it again and again with curiosity. Finally, he sighed, reluctantly put it away carefully, packed his things, went out and drove away.
About an hour later.
Old Sam, wrapped like a mummy, arrived in downtown Los Angeles and finally came to a law firm named Reeves.
Nearly two hours after he entered, around noon, a group of reporters were invited to the door of the law firm.
“You are here too? Were you invited too?”
"Is there any inside information?"
"If so, do you think I will be here? Now I only know that Reeves & Associates has accepted Old Sam's entrustment and will represent him for the hundred shares. Thousands of rewards.”
“I didn’t think so. It’s so dramatic that this matter has turned around.”
“Yes.”
As the conversation continued, more and more reporters came to the door, including some. When the gang members heard the news, people soon became in trouble in front of the door.
At this moment, the door of the office opened, and several temporarily hired security personnel, surrounded by two well-dressed lawyers and Old Sam, walked out and stood at the door.
Reporters immediately rushed forward, asking various questions amidst the snapping of photos.
"Old Sam, where have you been these days?"
"Do you know that your house was burned down?"
"What is the million-dollar reward? Not true?”
"Quiet, everyone please be quiet. Listen to what I have to say first. I will give you interview time later."
A lawyer stepped forward and seriously glanced at the reporters in front of him. After a while, he said loudly: "First of all, I want to announce something to everyone. We Reeves The law firm has officially accepted the entrustment of Mr. Sam Thomas and accepted his million-dollar reward. At present, the money has been deposited into our company account..."
He said nonchalantly. A lot has been learned. To sum it up in one sentence, the million-dollar reward is real and effective!
When the gang members who came over heard this, they felt a little guilty about the behavior of lighting the house, and then became excited again. They had another chance to make a fortune. After the lawyer finished speaking, the reporters immediately looked at Old Sam and asked: "Mr. Thomas, since you really have a million in your hand, why is your life so miserable?"
Looking at the gun that almost hit his face, Old Sam’s eyes showed a trace of the vicissitudes of life, and said: "This is a question of my private life, so forgive me for not answering it."
"Then can you tell me what is the reason why you are willing to spend one million to recover a bottle of red wine that does not seem to be very precious?"
"Sir, your ignorance is really ridiculous. , you actually said that the luminous cup is not precious? So before I tell you the answer, let me first tell you. Let me tell you about this kind of bar."
Old Sam glanced at the questioner and sneered: "First of all, you have to know that the history of the Luminous Cup can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. , this Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty in Chinatown. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was the most popular in the world. The center was very prosperous and powerful.
At that time, the upper class there loved wine, especially the emperor Li Shimin. He summoned thousands of winemakers in order to drink the best wine in the world. , Preacher, it took three years to develop , he developed a wine that satisfied him. From then on, this wine became a wine exclusively for the royal family. Nobles could only get a bottle when they made great achievements."
"And this wine. The name of this wine is Luminous Cup.”
Listening to his introduction, a reporter in the crowd looked strange and muttered to his companions: "Why do you feel like you are having a product launch conference?"
"You don't care what it is, as long as the people like to watch it. "The companion who had been bribed by Chu Heng a long time ago said and squeezed forward, and asked cooperatively: "So the bottle of wine you lost is the one from China. Xia’s wine was once exclusively for the royal family?”
“Yes.”
“Can it be worth a million?”
“No, although it is Li’s. The tribute wine brewed by the descendants of the royal family according to ancient methods is not very famous and is only worth ten thousand at most.”
Hearing this, the reporters with a keen sense of smell immediately realized that there was still news to be found, and hurriedly asked: "Then why do you want to offer a reward of one million? Is there a story?"
"Because of this bottle of wine , is the last gift given to me by the love of my life." Old Sam looked sad and told the story he told in the bar about being injured while skydiving and being saved by a girl.
“… Under her careful care, I recovered from my injury quickly. At the same time, we couldn’t help but fall in love with each other. But because I still want to help China resist the evil invaders, I I can only leave her temporarily, return to the battlefield, and agree to come back to her after the war is over, take her back to Citigroup, and hold a grand wedding!"
"I think everyone has guessed it! , she is Emperor Li Before I left, she stole a bottle of luminous cup from home and gave it to me, asking me to keep it and drink it together at the wedding."
"It's disappointing. What comes to mind is that when the Flying Tigers were disbanded and I went to look for her to take her back to China, a bad news came. Her village was bombed by the invaders. She died in the explosion while protecting the elderly and children. .”
As he spoke, Old Sam actually got into the drama, his eyes began to turn red, and he said with regret: "I really regret it. If I didn't go to the practice banquet and went to find her directly, she would have been able to hide." After that bombing.”
"It's a pity, it's too late."
"Later I went to her funeral. In front of her grave, I sent a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers in the world, proposed to her, and left her in the mountains. Witnessed by the sky, I completed my recognition For the most romantic wedding in the world, I left sadly with the bottle of wine and returned to Citigroup."
"After I came back, I could never forget her, and I was immersed in missing her every day. In people's pain, they can only rely on alcohol to numb themselves and live in confusion until now.
And that bottle of wine has become the only evidence of the existence of our love, so you should understand why I am like this. Crazy?”
"This damn thief." Some emotional female reporters in the crowd had red eyes, moved by his undying love.
Some men were also shocked and looked at Old Sam with admiration.
But some reporters became excited.
Ouch!
The tragic love between a fighting hero and a royal princess.
Just like a movie!
People are definitely willing to read it, good material, good material!
The gang members who burned his house were filled with guilt.
I deserve to die!
