Volume 2 Commodity Society Chapter 242 Press Conference
"Thank you, thank you very much!" Momiji could only express his gratitude again and again.
"Miss Red, do you know why those damn FBIs took Long?" Adams finally asked the key to the matter.
Hongye choked up: "It seems to say that Xiao Feng has something to do with the big ** that broke out in the United States." ”
"****, these damn FBIs, they're just a bunch of stinking **!" Adams was a little angry when he heard this, "This is an obvious framing and planting!long, how can it have anything to do with this big **? Could it be that he planned it alone? Oh God, these damn FBIs, is this how they investigated? Miss Hong, don't worry, I promise that after I release this news to the public later, the FBI will cause the anger of all Americans." At that point, all these damn FBIs should be fired. ”
Hongye didn't think about it so much, but emphasized: "I just hope that Xiao Feng can return to me safely." ”
Adams comforted him for a while before hanging up.
The theme of Jupiter Records' press conference this time was originally intended to persuade the fans who held demonstrations in the United States today in the name of Long to calm down and end the demonstrations as much as possible, which can show that Long is a very socially responsible person, and secondly, it can also be taken by the way to raise the social awareness of Long and their Jupiter Records again, which can be said to be a very rare opportunity for free publicity, and Adams will certainly not miss it. It's just that I didn't expect that ten minutes before the press conference was about to start, I suddenly got the news that Long was taken away by the FBI. This annoyed Adams, long is the banner and cash cow of their Jupiter records, and he is also his own lucky star, and the damn FBI actually suspects him of secretly planning this big ** in the United States, which can only be said that their heads are stuffed with shit, so they will think so. Don't they know that the major newspapers around the world are reporting his news one after another? The FBI knows this, but still wants to arrest Long, which is obviously against the fans of Long all over the world, and it is also directly with Jupiter Records and him Adams, although the FBI arrested Long this time, Adams himself felt the same humiliation. He decided that this time he must fight back fiercely, so that these federal agents who are full of stool and only know how to eat taxpayers' money know that they are powerful.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jupiter Records' news conference took place as scheduled, but his theme had apparently changed. Because Jupiter Records announced that it had a long statement to be released in advance, reporters from all major media who could rush to it came, and the hall was packed, with no less than 100 people.
Adams sat on the rostrum with a solemn face, facing more than 100 reporters from all over the world, unfolded the manuscript paper in his hand and said: "Thank you very much for so many journalists to come to our company's press conference, and here I would like to announce a very important news to you: just today, to be precise, just over half an hour ago, our great and omnipotent FBI gentlemen arrested Long on charges of conspiracy to plan this large-scale demonstration that broke out in the United States......"
As soon as the news was announced, the reporters in the room were in an uproar, and they immediately recorded the news of the explosion, and then took out their mobile phones to report the news to the company as soon as possible, so that their company could grab the news as quickly as possible.
Adams apparently foresaw this situation, and politely waited for the group of reporters to make a fuss like the traders on the stock exchange for a while before he continued: "I myself am very shocked and angry about this, as we all know, Long is a very young and very talented singer, he has not been in his debut for less than a year, and he himself has no need or ability to plan this demonstration that will break out in the United States** The event, which was completely organized by his fans who loved him deeply, and Long himself was deeply disturbed by the matter, and had commissioned me to read out a statement from him at this press conference to persuade his fans to stop the demonstrations, but as his client, I now refuse to read his statement, and express the strongest ** for the FBI's arrest of Long without any basis or evidence. We at Jupiter have hired a well-known lawyer, Mr. Kennedy, to negotiate with the FBI and reserve the right to prosecute......"
Adams said with the solemnity of a news diplomat, while the reporters below were recording attentively, and the scene was full of the sound of writing and brushing.
After Adams finished his hastily drafted statement, he motioned for reporters at the scene to ask questions, but only two questions, because he was rushing to the FBI.
A reporter asked: "Will Long's arrest by the FBI affect his future development in the music industry?"
Adams categorically denied it, saying that Long's future development prospects will be very ambitious, and he is destined to be a great singer of Cheng Wei.
A reporter asked: "The reason why Long was arrested by the FBI this time was because a company or someone tried to stifle Long and deliberately smeared him?"
This reporter obviously has a good impression of Long, or he himself is a fan of Long, and his imagination is also very rich, so he asked this question.
The reporter's question obviously attracted the attention of many people present, including Adams, and this may be really very likely, maybe it was really the fame of other record companies that targeted him, such an example has not been done before. For example, the current Michael Jackson has been systematically smeared behind his back, causing him to have endless negative news.
Adams thought for a moment and replied, "I can't rule it out." We at Jupiter will investigate this, and if it is found to be true, we will resort to law. ”
The Jupiter Records press conference did not last very long, only about half an hour, and after Adams answered two questions from reporters on the scene, he hurriedly left the venue and went to the FBI branch in Los Angeles, hoping to meet Chen Feng.
After Zhang Qiangguo finished calling Adams in the car, he called his comrade-in-arms Qi Liang in Chinatown. The call was thought about for a while before it was connected.
"Yutou, why did you think of calling me today. Qi Liang's voice came from the other end of the phone, "fish head" is Zhang Qiangguo's nickname in the army, because he likes to eat fish head.
"Old gun, I'm in Los Angeles right now, going to Chinatown to find you. You sue me for a specific address. Because of something, Zhang Qiangguo was not in the mood to catch up with his old comrades-in-arms, and directly asked him to report his address.
"Yutou, what are you kidding?" Qi Liang on the other end of the phone was obviously taken aback, but he knew about Zhang Qiangguo's character, this person was very strict and principled, it was impossible to make this joke with him, and his tone was not like it, and he confirmed with some suspicion: "Are you really in the United States now, in Los Angeles?"
Zhang Qiangguo replied unceremoniously: "Nonsense! Of course, in the United States, you tell me the address, by the way, you can tell the driver directly." I've got something to look for you. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Qiangguo handed the mobile phone to the black taxi driver in the front seat, and after some answers, the driver handed the mobile phone back to Zhang Qiangqiang.
"Yutou, I didn't expect you to really come to the United States, are you going to have a good time in the United States with me?" Qi Liang on the other end of the phone saw that his old comrade-in-arms really came to the United States, of course he was very happy, he knew Zhang Qiangguo's skills very well, compared to him, he was only stronger, and having him come to help him could be described as a tiger with wings.
"Old gun, didn't I tell you last time? I'm working as a bodyguard now, and this time I'm coming to the United States with my client, and he got into trouble this time and was detained by the FBI, and I want to ask you for help. For his old comrade-in-arms, Zhang Qiangguo did not deliberately hide it, and directly stated the purpose of his coming to him this time.
When Qi Liang heard Zhang Qiangguo say this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Yutou, you think too highly of me! You also know that I am now a gangster, and one is a soldier and the other is a thief with them, and the two sides are not quite on the right path." ”
Zhang Qiangguo said unceremoniously: "I don't believe it, you Huaqing Gang have no acquaintances in the FBI, don't worry, as long as people are rescued, your hard work will naturally be indispensable at that time." ”
"Gotta gotcha, fish head, if you say that, I don't have to help, okay, wait for you to come over, let's figure out a way together." ”
The taxi stopped in front of a *** door, and when Zhang Qiangguo paid the money, he remembered that he only had RMB and no US dollars in his pocket. He had no choice but to get out of the car first, and when he was looking around to see where his old comrades-in-arms were, he suddenly felt something strange behind him, and couldn't help but take a step forward to the left, and then quickly turned around and assumed a posture ready to attack.
"Hahaha, fish head, I didn't expect to see you for a few years, and your vigilance* is still so high. Qi Liang was dressed as a white-collar elite in a suit and leather shoes, but his every move revealed a cynical look.
"Old gun, your habit of loving the whole person has not changed. Zhang Qiangguo glared at him fiercely.
Qi Liang smiled smugly, the two looked at each other for a few seconds, and then they both walked up a few steps together, hugged each other tightly, and patted each other's backs several times, both of them looked a little excited. A qiē is all in the words.
"Okay! Serious matter!" Zhang Qiangguo shoved him away.
Qi Liang straightened his suit with a stupid look on his face, and complained: "Really, it's rare that I'm so excited, at the risk of being seen as a same-minded person, you actually don't give face." ”
Zhang Qiangguo ignored him and said directly to him: "I don't have any dollars on me, you go and pay for the taxi first." ”
The black driver of the taxi, who had been waiting impatiently, was sticking his head out of the window and shouting "money!" to the two of them.
Qi Liang glared at him very unhappily, and pulled up his wrist slightly, where there happened to be a tattoo pattern. The black driver seemed to be frightened, quickly retracted his head, quickly started the car, and stepped on the accelerator to rush out.
Zhang Qiangguo couldn't help frowning when he saw his old comrade-in-arms scare the taxi driver away.
Of course, Qi Liang knew Zhang Qiangguo's character, and said with a smile: "Fish head, these are the most annoying. There is no need to pay for his car. ”
After all, there are requests for others, and Zhang Qiangguo doesn't want to worry too much about his old comrades-in-arms in trivial matters.
Under the leadership of Qi Liang, the two came all the way to a somewhat original Hong Kong-style tea restaurant and sat down, followed by a few of Qi Liang's younger brothers, but they all consciously made another one.
Qi Liang was obviously very familiar with this place, and as soon as he sat down, a waiter came over to entertain him.
After waiting for the things to come up, Zhang Qiangguo had already waited a little impatiently, and said directly: "Old gun, you tell me quickly, can you help me get people out of the FBI?"
Qi Liang glanced at him lightly, and said with some surprise: "Yutou, you are a bodyguard, this family doesn't do anything else, as for being so nervous?"
Zhang Qiangguo frowned and said, "This customer is kind to me, of course I'm nervous." And if he delayed for a minute longer, he might suffer one more sin in it, for he was only seventeen years old, and he was not yet an adult. ”
"Oh, your patron is not yet an adult? This is strange, why did the FBI arrest him?" Qi Liang asked with great interest.
Zhang Qiangguo hesitated for a while, and then Yan said very much: "Old gun, before I tell you the reason, you must promise me to keep this secret strictly." If you promise, I can sue you. ”
Qi Liang was stunned for a while, and then said: "Okay, I promise you, I am really curious about who your patron is, and it is actually worthy of the FBI to arrest him." ”
Seeing Qi Liang agree, Zhang Qiangguo was relieved, his old comrade-in-arms didn't look at his usual appearance, but he kept his promise the most, which was tested by life and death back then.
Zhang Qiangguo looked around, and after seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he whispered: "This customer of mine, he is Long." ”
"Dragon, what dragon?" Because Zhang Qiangguo's pronunciation was not standard, Qi Liang heard it as "dragon", and looked at Zhang Qiangguo with an inexplicable look.
"It's long!" Zhang Qiangguo explained, "It's the most popular singer in the United States now, and on the way we came just now, there was a store showing his songs." ”
"You mean long, the long who sang 'Areyoutheone' on the Grammys yesterday? What do you mean...... Your patron is ...... He ......" Qi Liang opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened, as if he had seen the new US President George W. Bush take off his pants on television.
Zhang Qiangguo nodded sternly, confirming his guess.
"This ...... Let me calm down first......" Qi Liang picked up the teacup, and he didn't care about the heat, so he just dried it down. He has been in the United States for five or six years, and of course he has a certain understanding of American culture and fashion trends, and he is in Los Angeles, of course, he is very familiar with the Grammys, and he certainly knows about the sudden rise in the United States and the popularity of half the sky. Because he can hear his songs every day as soon as he turns on the TV and radio, and he can hear them when he goes out on the street, and the people around him, and many people are talking about this mysterious singer, it is obviously impossible not to hear him. At the demonstrations held this morning, many people from their gang took part. Just when he answered Zhang Qiangguo's phone call just now, he was also listening to Long's song in ***. Only in American society can you truly appreciate the magical charm and influence of the legendary and mysterious singer.
After Qi Liang drank a cup of tea, he finally regained his composure: "Okay, I understand, this customer of yours is Long, and he is us Chinese, and then, he was arrested by the FBI in the United States, why did they arrest him?"
Zhang Qiangguo shook his head with some distress and said, "I don't know." However, I think it has something to do with the mass demonstrations that took place today. "At the airport before, the FBI had a conversation with Chen Feng in English, and of course he couldn't understand it.
"Oh, I see. Qi Liang breathed a sigh of relief obviously, and muttered, "I don't think it's a big problem in this matter, today LONG's fans in major cities in the United States have erupted**Grammy, in solidarity with LONG's demonstrations**, the FBI is routinely summoning him, as long as he asks about the matter, he will be released if he wants to." ”
Hearing Qi Liang say this, Zhang Qiangguo first breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately felt that something was wrong, shook his head and said: "I think this matter is not so simple, when they arrested people at the airport before, they treated him as a felon, a total of at least thirty people were dispatched, all of them were slightly charged, and it is likely that there are snipers in ambush, the person who took the lead also fired a warning shot at us, if it was just a routine summons, they should not have made such a big fight." ”
Listening to Zhang Qiangguo's words, Qi Liang's expression also became stern, and he muttered: "As soon as you say this, I also think that this matter is not so simple. What else has your customer done in the United States besides singing?"
Zhang Qiangguo thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "No, he only came to the United States two or three times, and the time he stayed each time would definitely not exceed ten days, except for singing, he was traveling, and he didn't do anything illegal at all, not to mention that he was so young and not yet an adult." ”
Qi Liang said with some doubts: "This is a little strange, I know that the FBI people don't arrest people casually, and they also make such a big fight, they must have a purpose." ”
