Chapter 2157 A little profit
August 1st.
The answer to the million-dollar reward that has been agitated by Citigroup for two months is finally revealed on this day.
In the past two months, under the bombardment of a series of ups and downs of news, almost everyone at Citi had some understanding of this matter.
Therefore, this award ceremony inevitably attracted the attention of many people.
At just over nine o'clock, hundreds of reporters from newspapers, TV stations and other companies in Citi and several surrounding countries were already in the Hilton Hotel's banquet hall, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
“I don’t know which guy found the bottle of wine.”
“I heard it was someone from the Mafia.”
“They can appreciate this. Money?”
“Who knows”
"I also heard that he might be someone from the FBI."
In the whispers, the time came to ten o'clock in a blink of an eye, and the door of the banquet hall that had been closed slowly opened, and old Sam, who was still wearing sloppy clothes, was there. Surrounded by several staff members of Reeves Law Firm and security personnel, they walked into the banquet hall.
"Mr. Thomas!"
A reporter immediately rushed forward when he saw the opportunity. While taking photos, he asked: "Some people say that you are just showing off this time. Really red wine?" It has been secretly collected by you, and the wine you took out is fake. Is this true?”
Old Sam, who was asked such a tricky question, smiled and had no worries in his heart.
fool!
It was originally fake wine. What should I do if I replaced it?
Other reporters also rushed up at this time, asking all kinds of questions.
“Mr. Thomas, as far as I know, you have been having a long-term sexual relationship with Jennifer, a prostitute at Hancoat Bar, for the past twenty years. Do you have anything to say about this? ”
“What are your plans for the group wedding you mentioned before? ”
"Please give way, please give way. I will give you interview time later." Two lawyers protected Old Sam on the left and right, and several security guards were responsible for clearing the way. After a while, they boarded the banquet hall. rostrum.
There is nothing to go into details after that. First, the people from the law firm gave speeches, and then Old Sam tearfully thanked the people who had helped him during this period.
After half an hour of chattering, just when the reporters were getting a little tired, the award-winning talent appeared despite the repeated calls.
The man was over 1.80 meters tall. He was wearing a black hood that only missed the eyes that many bank robbers liked. He even had gloves on his hands and was wrapped tightly. I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could only tell from the slightly exposed skin that he was a white man. His body shape was quite well-proportioned, but he had a slight belly.
This grandson is Chu Heng. He really couldn't find a suitable person to accept the award, so he had to do it himself.
He entered the venue under the protection of several security guards, holding a tightly packed wine box tightly in his arms as if he were holding millions. Oh...it was indeed worth millions.
In a flash of lights, Chu Heng walked quickly onto the podium, and then Old Sam's acting skills broke out again. He rushed forward in three steps and two steps at a time, and almost snatched it from his hand. wine box, then eagerly opened it and took out a bottle of red wine.
The bottle body is made of jet black glass, with a simple shape and full of traces of time.
"That's it! That's it!" After just one glance, he hugged the bottle with excitement and kissed it hard, his muddy old eyes full of tears.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much." Then he bowed to Chu Heng again.
Chu Heng didn't say anything. He waved his hand and rubbed his fingers, signaling him to stop pressing and get the money quickly.
"Okay, okay." Old Sam didn't know that the person in front of him was the father of the funder, but he also wanted to end it as soon as possible, so he quickly went to communicate with the people from the law firm nearby, and soon Then he gave Chu Heng a check for 2.1 million yuan.
In fact, the real amount is higher than this. Old Sam has accepted donations from many people before. Adding the original one million, the reward finally reached 2.8 million.
The reason why Chu Heng only received 2.1 million was because he paid the tax in advance.
He took the flimsy check, looked at the amount on it, and grinned painfully. Then he thought of the tax he would have to pay when selling wine again, and his heart ached for a moment.
Mudd!
It’s cheaper than Citi!
"Mr. Thomas, and this... mysterious gentleman, can we take a photo together?"
At this time, some reporters swarmed up and blocked Chu Heng and Thomas in the chair On the stage, various long guns and short cannons were aimed at them, and some people wanted to ask Chu Heng some questions.
But he ignored them all, just like when he came, he put the check in his arms without saying a word, ran out of the hotel, found a place to take off his disguise, and immediately I found a place to change the check and put it in my pocket.
Finally, he did some calculations and found that he didn't spend much money on such a big battle!
Excluding the salaries and bonuses of Tina Trading’s gang, including hiring Old Sam, the media, and miscellaneous fees, he spent a total of more than 3.4 million, and donations from all walks of life were given to him. The replacement amount was 1.1 million, which meant that so far, only over 2 million had been spent on this grand publicity campaign that swept across the United States.
It’s so cheap!
The key point is that the publicity effect is also very good. Now if you ask anywhere in Citi, at least six out of ten people will know about the Luminous Cup.
“I’m so awesome.”
Chu Heng touched it smugly because Audrey was going to attend an event and had been away for a few days. He had softened his attitude recently, so he turned around and took a taxi back to the Millennium Hotel, ready to celebrate with Audrey.
The other side.
After sending the check, Old Sam handed over the 'lost and recovered' luminous cup to someone from China Wells Bank and locked it in a safe under the witness of a group of reporters, creating this bottle of The wine feels very expensive.
Then he publicly announced that he would invite ten couples to come over next Sunday, five days later, to participate in a collective wedding and taste this bottle of red wine that represented his undying love. .
That night, major media reported the entire process of receiving the award. While many people were envious, many couples who were planning to get married recently heard the news and immediately signed up through the channels provided by Old Sam. , want to attend this extremely romantic wedding in their eyes.
Interestingly, after the news was broadcast, many brands contacted Lao Sam and wanted to sponsor the group wedding he held.
There are hotels, jewelry companies, clothing companies, and even a priest who specializes in weddings who has extended an overnight invitation to Old Sam.
Except for that damn pastor, Chu Heng accepted all of them gladly. After a final calculation, he not only didn't spend a penny on this promotional activity, but he also earned more than two million dollars!
"Oh, Farke, oh, Farke! You are really, you are really such a genius! Chu! I can guarantee that your name will definitely remain in the history of advertising!"
< br>When Avima and Anna learned the result, their eyes were full of little stars, more pious than looking at God.
