Following closely behind the enchanting head of security of LS, the equally beautiful female reporter showed a bright smile and politely bowed slightly before extending her hand. "Hello, Dr. Zhang. I'm Julie from NBC TV …" However, she did not expect that when she saw the young face that had turned around, she choked on her words right away.
Upon seeing Julie's dumbfounded expression, a faint smile appeared on the young face unique to Asians in front of her. Calling out the female reporter's full name, he pointed to the round sofa surrounded by a square coffee table under several leafy short palm trees not far away and said, "Miss Julie Mihill, we meet again. Please take a seat."
"That's right, Mr. Lisheng, I mean, Dr., I didn't expect to meet you again so soon and under such an interesting occasion on top of that." The professional reporter's quality allowed Julie to quickly calm down. Smiling, she accepted the host's invitation and walked to the round sofa to sit down. "If I'd known this earlier, I would've proposed to let Rayli be the executive producer of this interview.
In this case, perhaps you'd be able to accept some of the more 'excessive' questions and make the interview more exciting. "
"Oh, actually, whether it's the restriction on questions or the security measures you experienced when you came to see me, or even this exaggerated office that cost a lot of money, they're just a smokescreen arranged by the heads of the relevant departments of LS to show my extraordinary identity to NBC TV and the TV audience.
I, on the other hand, have always respected the opinions of professionals so I'll follow their steps for everything. However, since you're Rayli's friend, it doesn't matter if you really want to ask some excessive questions, "Zhang Lisheng shrugged and said," In fact, I've just changed my mind.
In a while, your gains from the visit might be unexpectedly great … "
At this time, two waiters with straight postures pushed a large bright silver refreshment cart to the palm tree. Before the female reporter could ponder over the meaningful words she had just heard, Zhang Lisheng asked politely again, "Do you need to drink something to moisturize your throat before the interview? Tea, coffee, cocoa, or something else? I have everything here."
"A cup of mocha coffee will do, thank you." Julie thanked him with a smile and no longer thought about it. She gestured to her colleagues who had already positioned the four cameras and asked the young man, "Dr., can we start now?"
"Wait a moment. Do you still remember what I've said before, Miss Julie?" Zhang Lisheng spread his hands and said, "I never want to attract anyone's attention. I always try to make myself look ordinary in other people's eyes.
In fact, if it weren't for NBC's very sincere invitation, I wouldn't have accepted today's interview at all. So I reiterate my request that my face be blurred during the show.
Besides, other than the professional cameramen and cameras of the TV station, no one or any machine is allowed to film. "
"This is already written in our visit agreement, Doctor. NBC is one of the largest TV stations in the US, so it's impossible for us to breach the agreement," Julie asked with a smile. "But I'm very curious. Why are you willing to show your facial features clearly when you were interviewed in the past but not now?"
"Maybe it's a change in personal habits." Zhang Lisheng, who did not want to become the focus of the federal because of the series of 'big moves' he was planning, answered vaguely. "Then let's get started, Miss Julie."
"Okay, let's get started." The female reporter nodded. The soft spotlights by the side immediately lit up under the operation of the lighting technician. At the same time, a burst of fast-paced music slowly resonated, creating an indescribable subtle atmosphere in an instant.
After the short music that was only seven to eight seconds ended, Julie chose a position and faced the camera at the best angle to begin the interview, "Good evening again, everyone.
I've now come from the hotel lobby to an office that's large enough to play a football game. The owner of this huge office, or rather, the entire Ocean Empire Building, 12 commercial skyscrapers of the same size, and hundreds of large slaughterhouses, is sitting opposite me.
Let us welcome Dr. Zhang Lisheng, the youngest US billionaire with a net worth of more than ten billion yuan, the outstanding biologist! "
"Hello, Noah's immigrants in front of the TV. I'm Zhang Lisheng." The instant the female reporter's words left her mouth, the young man immediately turned sideways to look at the camera and waved.
"Oh, Dr., there are four cameras facing you from different angles now. You just need to accept the interview with the most natural attitude." The female reporter jokingly reminded, "Your face will be blurred on the TV anyway."
"Is that so? I've only accepted a few short interviews, so I don't know yet …" Zhang Lisheng also replied in an approachable manner, making the style of the interview appear very plain at the beginning.
The first few questions were like a eulogy for the LS Group and its boss, introducing the company's development process and the incredible achievements of the young man from different angles.
The interview went on as planned and finally came to a relatively sensitive issue. Julie's tone began to change subtly as her expression gradually became serious. "Dr., as we all know, the Noah World is covered by barren deserts, so the development of animal husbandry is severely limited. The supporting industry of the LS Group under your name is livestock slaughter.
It's rumored that due to the depression of the animal husbandry, your company has fallen into a financial crisis not long ago and there have been several large-scale layoffs. In such a case, may I ask why you suddenly mobilized a large sum of money to buy nearly 170,000 square kilometers of sandy land? "
"This is a good question, Miss Julie." Zhang Lisheng became silent for a while before shrugging. "This question involves many aspects. How should I put it? Well, first of all, the LS Group did encounter a financial crisis not long ago due to its rapid expansion, but this crisis has now been resolved by me selling gold …"
"Selling gold …" The female reporter caught this word sensitively and interrupted the interviewee's words, which was a rare occurrence. "The topic of gold is now the focus of everyone's discussion. Dr., don't tell me you …"
"Oh, I can be said to be the initiator of this national discussion." The young man finally pondered for a few seconds and smiled without concealing anything. "Through the secret agreement I signed with the creditors, I used the gold I hid in the Shrimp World No. 2 to settle all of the LS Group's debts.
However, just like the sages said, 'Wherever you walk, you'll leave a trace.' After that, the Department of Defense, which was troubled by the 'gold crisis,' still had their eyes on me. Out of support for the federation, I had no choice but to trade gold with the Military Logistics and Security Bureau … "
The black-haired young man who was being interviewed for the first time leaned on the sofa and spoke in a relaxed tone. Julie, who was experienced in appearing on camera, could only feel her ears buzzing as a dumbstruck expression appeared on her face. Inexplicably, the image of the young face who said the word 'big news' nonchalantly on the simple bar counter a week ago appeared in her mind.
It was the same person who said similar things, but due to the change of identity, the feeling he gave off was completely different.
"Oh my God, Dr. Lisheng! Do you mean that the US Department of Defense is no longer trading gold with the supernatural realm's country but with you?" The girl snapped back to reality from her daze and asked excitedly. An exclusive report that could allow her career to soar by leaps and bounds had already made the female reporter almost unable to control her emotions.
"No, Miss Julie, looks like you don't understand the meaning of my words. Just think about it, if the Wizard Li tribe in the Shrimp World No. 2 does not show kindness to us Earthlings, how could the gold be delivered to the Logistics and Security Bureau of the Department of Defense so smoothly … In short, this is a very complicated logical relationship.
In short, this is a very complicated logical relationship. It will take a lot of time to explain everything from the beginning to the end … "
"We have all the time in the world, Doctor. If you're willing to tell us, I don't even need to ask for permission from my superiors to make a promise. NBC will use the form of a special program to present everything you've said to the Federation's audience completely and truthfully, no matter how long the story is." Julie suppressed her excitement and said sincerely.
"Alright then. In that case, I'll share the experience and thoughts buried in the depths of my memory with everyone …" Now that he had achieved his goal of loosening the reins only to grasp them better, he no longer refused and began to tell the fabricated story between him and the Wizard Li tribe.
In the beginning, he followed his teacher who was invited by the federal government to step into the Shrimp World No. 2 to conduct biological research. In the end, he miraculously looked similar to the guardian spiritual monster of the Wizard Li tribe and was respected by the aborigines.
When he was collecting experimental materials, he received help from the aborigines and taught them very basic measurement and tool-making knowledge, which actually consolidated his status as the tribal idol.
Later on, the affluence of the human gathering place attracted the coveting of the ferocious aborigine tribes on the supernatural realm's island, leading to a sensational massacre. Relying on his influence in the Wizard Li tribe, he helped the federation to take revenge … That bizarre yet intricate story had unknowingly attracted everyone's attention.
In the end, the young man concluded in a low voice, "I sincerely hope that the Wizard Li tribe can increase the understanding between the federation and the Wizard Li tribe. In fact, the intelligent creatures of the supernatural realm and even the gods are not necessarily cruel and unapproachable.
Just like us Earthlings or the gods in the myths and stories that are spread on Earth, there are good and bad gods. Blindly hating and disgusting them without distinguishing between good and evil will only make us more and more isolated and even lose our future! " The sun had begun to set slowly.
After listening to this long and tortuous story, Julie was speechless for a long time. After more than ten seconds, she took a deep breath. Very cleverly, she did not express any point of view, nor did she ask any questions. She said, "Doctor, this is really a shocking story.
I don't know how many people will oppose your point of view, and I don't know how many people will flock to you after the program is broadcasted, but I can be sure that your attempt is of great significance to all of mankind.
Thank you for accepting NBC's interview today. Thank you. "She ended the interview concisely.
