A young reporter stood up from the back and looked at Lu Xiaoliang in disbelief. "Mr. Lu, is what you said true? Did we hear wrongly? "
Lu Xiaoliang glanced at him and nodded. "Of course it's true. Our company would never joke about such things. This is the amount of the bonus pool that our company's Chairman, Mr. Chen Guang, set."
The press conference was suddenly filled with voices. Even the most experienced reporter could not hold it in anymore.
Everyone whispered to each other, causing the conference room to buzz. It was as if thousands of bees had gathered together.
"Mr. Lu! May I ask why your company suddenly raised the bonus to such an unbelievable level? "
"Mr. Lu, did Tianguang Agency get a new injection of capital? But won't it cause a backlash from the investors? "
"The almighty Chen Guang will be participating in the competition too. Did he set such a bonus because he is certain that he will win? Isn't that too arrogant? "
"140 million can do a lot of things. Why would your company choose to sponsor such a project that has almost no profit value? What's the point of your company doing this?"
"I heard that Tianguang Agency has over a hundred employees now. Mr. Lu, can you tell us more about your company's business plan? Although the internet celebrity economy is gaining momentum, Logical Thinking recently announced that it will withdraw from Pappi Chan's company. This means that the development and sustainability of personal IP needs to wait and see. Your company has yet to clarify its profit model. Isn't it too much to suddenly invest 140 million? "
Lu Xiaoliang felt that these people's questions were reasonable. Every word they said was like a knife stabbing into his heart.
What you guys are asking is exactly what I want to ask my boss.
But my boss is unreasonable!
"Thank you for your concern for our company. But President Chen has his own considerations. As employees, what we should do is follow President Chen's instructions and cooperate with the Chinese Language Association to hold this conference. As for your questions, I'll answer them when President Chen is free to come to Beijing. "
After Lu Xiaoliang finished speaking, he turned around and ran away. Don't bother with me, I want some peace and quiet!
The press conference came to an end after Lu Xiaoliang ran away. Almost at the same time, a new round of press releases swept the internet.
"100 million grand prize! Shocking your eyeballs! Chen Guang's move is extraordinary! "
"What an incredible prize pool. Is the almighty Superman trying to set off a craze for foreign language learning? What does he want to do? "
"Let the investors cry, let the onlookers cheer. Even if it's just an academic forum, I want it to be earth-shattering. Is this the motto of Brother Almighty Chen Guang?"
"With such a crazy business brain, Chen Guang will definitely fail miserably this time. The hidden crisis under the prosperous appearance of Tianguang Brokerage is just a rookie in the business world!"
"The Tang Jie Fund, which has never failed in its investments, will suffer heavy losses."
"A super tycoon from Huaxia. He made the World Language Conference shine with unprecedented brilliance."
"A genius or a madman? How far can Chen Guang go on his unconventional road to fame? "
The Huaxia language world, which had already been blown into the sky, was even more blown up this time.
Wang Jiacheng, the doctoral supervisor of the Capital University of Foreign Studies, said, "Chen Guang's actions can bring unprecedented attention to the language world. On behalf of the Huaxia language world, I express my gratitude to him for his contribution. As for him participating in the competition, I'll give him two words, hehe."
Gao Zhide, the dean of the School of Foreign Languages at Donghua Normal University and a well-known senior expert both at home and abroad, was even more blunt. "Some people use the hype they learned from other places on academics, which is a stain to the entire academic world! He makes the serious subject of linguistics stink. In fact, he's just a clown trying to impress the public! "
"100 million grand prize? On behalf of all students interested in linguistics, I thank him for his generosity, "said Powell Bryan, a master of linguistics from Harvard.
Will Bartz from Oxford wrote on his Twitter: "My most respected friend, Butler Guy, has already set off from Istanbul. This true genius who is obsessed with learning can't sit still this time. Of course, I'm also preparing to participate in the competition. Although I'm definitely no match for Mr. Guy, how can I not go and experience such a grand event?"
The Twitter comments of these well-known scholars were even more lively.
"Arrogant Huaxia person!"
"I've heard of him. He's the holder of the airline's hero medal. I recognize his contribution to the aviation industry, but in terms of linguistics, he's just a ridiculous clown."
"He'll pay for his ignorance and arrogance. But maybe he was doing charity from the beginning?"
This incredible explosive news not only swept across Huaxia in an instant, but even countless foreign media outlets followed up and reported on it at the same time. Even though it was early in the morning over there and people had not woken up yet, they could not stop this news from exploding on the Internet.
There was no need for any deliberate publicity. As high as 100 million yuan, or 14.45 million USD, just as Chen Guang thought, this prize pool was enough to explode.
This number of prize pools may not have broken the records of many competitions in human history. After all, the prize pool of Dota 2's Seattle International Invitational Tournament had reached a terrifying level of 20 million USD this year, not to mention the prize pool of the UEFA Champions League.
But this competition was not the Dota Champion's Shield, which required many people to go through a long period of effort and preparation to compete. It was also not the Champions League, which had extremely high viewership ratings and huge amounts of advertising fees, sponsorship fees, and live broadcast licensing fees as prize money. This was just a small competition in the World Language Conference, which was not particularly valued.
The prize money was not distributed to the large number of participating teams, but directly to the individual!
The individual prize money for the champion was as high as 50 million yuan! More than 7 million USD!
Such an exaggerated amount of prize money was enough to make the whole world excited.
The foreign friends did not care who paid the prize money. They only knew that the prize money was so high that no one could refuse it.
As for the initiator of the whole thing, it only took him 30 minutes to finish the paper in front of him. He was ready to hand it in and leave.
Seeing Chen Guang stand up, the invigilator sitting on the podium, who had been staring at him, raised his eyelids and said mockingly.
He thought to himself that young people nowadays were like this. They became arrogant when they had money, and they didn't care about their studies anymore. They felt that the courses in the university were enough.
This guy thought that it didn't matter even if he failed the course. He had money anyway, and he could ask the university to give him a break.
To be honest, he really could do it.
Sigh, it's still depressing to think about it.
Forget it, you're Chen Guang. You're good, I can't afford to mess with you.
As for the possibility that Chen Guang had already finished the paper, the invigilator did not even consider it.
What a joke, it would be impossible to finish the environmental impact assessment paper in half an hour. Just those few essay questions alone would take you an hour to write.
Even those top students would have to write until their hands were sore during the two-and-a-half-hour exam, okay?
You only had half an hour, what can you write?
As long as you don't give me a blank paper, I have to thank you for giving me face!
However, when the Divine Light of New Science put the paper in front of him, he realized that he was wrong, ridiculously wrong.
Not only did this guy not hand in a blank paper, but the paper was densely filled with words!
Was he writing a web novel? Was he writing nonsense?
That's right!
That must be it!
Let me see your essay questions!
The doctoral invigilator continued to look down. In less than a minute, he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.
It was as if countless bells were ringing in his head at the same time, and his ears were buzzing non-stop. He almost wanted to directly kneel down.
Crazy, completely crazy!
This … What the hell is going on!
The prodigy had been gone for five minutes, but in the eyes of the invigilator, his god-like silhouette was still standing there. His back was shining with a dazzling brilliance that made people want to worship him.
The invigilator wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. Damn, an undergraduate student answering an essay question on the introduction to environmental impact assessment actually made me, a doctoral student, want to kneel down after reading one question?
Unbelievable!
But what he wrote really makes sense, I can't believe it!
How on earth did you manage to write such a thorough explanation on the examination paper?
You're even more profound than my mentor!
Also, did you install a small electric motor on your hand?
You wrote so many words in half an hour?
A humanoid printer!
The invigilator was not wrong. The strongest environmental impact assessment master in history, coupled with Chen Guang's Invincible Qilin Arm, could answer questions so quickly, so domineering, so unreasonable, and so unreasonable.
Old Master Guang was now walking alone on campus, leaving only the legend of the prodigy in the invigilator's heart.
He did not dare to return to his dormitory, afraid of the three frogs in the well who persevered in dragging him down and boosting others' morale while belittling his own.
Anyway, you won't believe anything I say, and you can't stop me anyway. It's better to reminisce than to see each other. When the Old Man succeeds in ascending to the throne and sits on the throne of the Emperor of Language, he'll return home in glory and experience the worship of you mortals.
My heart aches for your menisci. I'll probably need to help you contact a surgeon.
He went straight to his rented apartment and took out the book "Environmental Economics" to continue reading.
As for the World Language Conference, he was not worried.
As the actual controller of the company, he would set the general guidelines and leave the specific operations to Dog Three and the rest.
He was confident in these people's work, even though they were too narrow-minded, like Little Lin and the rest, thinking that he was going to be the one giving away money.
But Old Master Guang did not mind. You might not believe it, but if it wasn't for the incredible One-Line Heavenly Grail, even I don't believe I could do it!
They had the mindset of a normal person and did not know the truth about the Heavenly Holy Grail. Their outlook on life and the world would forever remain at the level of mortals.
But it didn't matter. As long as he kept slapping them in the face, they would one day understand his painstaking efforts.
After all, once I start slapping people in the face, I don't even care about my own people. I've never let my own people off, and I'm especially excited about slapping my own people!
