Chapter 63 Press Conference -- Chongxi
Update released! Readers have all gone to check it out!
At 9:30 a.m. the next day, a simple stage had been set up in the small square downstairs of Jiangcheng Guanxi Trading Co., Ltd.
A red banner was unfurled, bearing the words "Brand Naming Launch Conference" in large characters.
A red carpet was laid out at the company entrance, with flower baskets on both sides, a gift from Chung Chao-lung.
Cecilia Cheung stood at the door greeting guests today, dressed in a dark blue business suit, with a polite and generous smile.
Su Qingyu was in charge of signing in at the venue. In front of her were a sign-in book and a pen, and next to her was a stack of media document bags, each containing a press release and a 2,000 yuan travel allowance.
More media outlets arrived than Wang Guanxi had anticipated.
Two groups of reporters from Jiangcheng TV arrived, one to film the news and the other to conduct an exclusive interview.
The city's metropolitan newspaper also arrived; a middle-aged reporter wearing glasses carried a camera and started taking pictures as soon as he entered.
Several local social media bloggers, holding up their phone stands, started their live streams as soon as they entered.
"Hey guys, I'm at the press conference for Jiangcheng Guanxi Trading Co., Ltd., the one where the philanthropist Wang Guanxi spent a million yuan to solicit brand names. Today we're announcing the results!"
The live chat immediately started flooded with comments.
"What a great philanthropist!"
"How exciting! If I win, I'll take out 500,000 and give it away in a raffle!"
"I submitted my work too, could I have won?!"
"Hey upstairs, if you had won, you wouldn't be posting comments here. We would have notified you to come to the scene already."
......
Mayor Chen was the first distinguished guest to arrive.
He was wearing a dark gray jacket today, and his hair was neatly combed, making him look much more energetic than usual.
Behind him followed Dong Chenggang and Zhou Mingyuan, one carrying a briefcase and the other a notebook.
Wang Guanxi went up to greet Mayor Chen and shook hands with him.
"Mayor Chen, welcome, welcome."
"Mr. Wang, congratulations!" Mayor Chen said with a smile. "Today is a very special day for you."
"There's no big celebration, it's just a small press conference."
"So many media outlets have come to such a small press conference?" Mayor Chen glanced at the room full of reporters and laughed. "Mr. Wang, you're too modest."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mayor Chen was invited to sit in the guest section.
By 9:50 a.m., the venue was already full of people.
The front row was the guest seating area, where Mayor Chen, Dong Chenggang, Zhou Mingyuan, and several people from relevant county departments were seated.
In the middle was the media area, with cameras and microphones pointed at the podium.
Behind them was the employee area, where employees from the garment factory and the company sat in several rows, whispering and laughing.
Two mobile phones were set up in the corner, broadcasting live on Douyin simultaneously.
More than 3,000 people have already flooded into the live stream room, and the barrage of comments is flying by.
"Here it comes!"
"Who exactly received the million?"
"I submitted my work, could it be me?"
......
All eyes were focused on a shelf in the center of the stage.
There was a sign standing on the shelf, completely covered by a large red silk cloth, so you couldn't see what was written underneath.
But everyone knows that what's covered under the red cloth is the brand name that was chosen at a cost of one million.
……
Meanwhile, in Wen Guoliang's office in Jiangzhou city.
Wen Guoliang sat in the boss's chair with a computer in front of him, the screen showing a live broadcast released by Wang Guanxi's company.
He didn't want to watch it in the first place.
But he wanted to know what Wang Guanxi was planning to do with that million dollars, so he clicked on it.
The live stream had already started on the computer screen.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip, leaned back in his chair, and watched expressionlessly.
……
10 o'clock sharp.
The host walked to the side of the stage, picked up the microphone, and cleared his throat.
"Distinguished leaders, friends from the media, and honored guests, good morning! Welcome to the launch event of the clothing brand under Jiangcheng Guanxi Trading Co., Ltd."
The applause rang out, not enthusiastic, but very polite.
The host then briefly introduced the press conference's agenda, before turning to the side and gesturing for the audience to proceed.
"First, please welcome Mayor Chen of Jiangcheng County People's Government to give a speech."
Mayor Chen stood up, straightened his collar, walked to the center of the stage, and took the microphone.
His speech was brief, lasting less than five minutes.
"Friends, I am very happy to be here at Mr. Wang's company today. Mr. Wang is an outstanding entrepreneur who came from Jiangcheng. He made money in Shanghai, but he did not forget his hometown. He came back to invest and start a business, and acquired two garment factories that were on the verge of bankruptcy, solving the employment problem for hundreds of workers."
He paused, then emphasized his words.
"This time, he donated another million yuan to publicly solicit brand names. This kind of magnanimity and sense of responsibility is something we should all learn from."
"On behalf of the Jiangcheng County People's Government, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Wang! I also wish our local Jiangcheng brands a speedy expansion across the country and the world!"
The applause was much louder than before.
Mayor Chen bowed and stepped down from the podium.
The live stream chat exploded with comments again.
"This town mayor speaks very frankly."
"Unlike some leaders, who can talk for half an hour at a time."
……
After Mayor Chen finished speaking, the host went back onto the stage.
"Next, please welcome Mr. Wang Guanxi, Chairman of Jiangcheng Guanxi Trading Co., Ltd., to announce the brand naming results!"
Wang Guanxi stood up from his seat and walked slowly onto the stage.
He was wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt underneath, no tie, and the top button of his shirt was undone.
The clothes are casual, but they look very comfortable.
He took the microphone, glanced at the audience below the stage, and smiled.
"Thank you for Mayor Chen's encouragement, and thank you to all the media friends and viewers in the live broadcast room for your attention."
He paused, his voice not loud, but very steady.
"After a nationwide open call for submissions, we received a total of 23,762 submissions. The judging panel consisted of a retired senior-level Chinese language teacher from Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, the director of the county cultural center, and myself. We spent three weeks selecting ten candidate names from more than 20,000 names."
He walked to the shelf in the center of the stage and placed one hand on the red cloth.
Everyone's eyes followed the movement of his hand.
The chat in the live stream stopped; everyone was waiting for that moment.
Wang Guanxi didn't rush to lift it.
He looked at the audience below the stage and spoke, word by word.
The final brand name chosen is...
He suddenly grabbed a corner of the red cloth and ripped it hard!
The red cloth fluttered to the ground.
The sign on the shelf was visible, displaying two large, gold-embossed characters:
