Chapter 3497 The hero returns in triumph!

From ancient times to the present, businessmen have basically never been considered heroes.

Bill Gates was once the world's richest man for many years and spent so much money. In his early years, he only established an image for himself as a person who changed the world with technology, but this did not prevent the collapse of his image in his later years.

In fact, there is no wealth that comes out of thin air in this world. Any super rich person is like the queen ant in the ant kingdom. Behind his huge body, there must be countless worker ants that supply him with blood.

In other words, anything that exists beyond conventional size needs to draw energy from countless things of conventional size.

How can a top star like Tawanna earn billions every year? It's because of the support of tens of millions of fans. It's because tens of millions of fans pay money out of their own pockets to support her, which is why she can earn so much money.

Why has Bill Gates been the world's richest man for many years in a row? That's because Windows, Office and various popular software developed by Microsoft have sold hundreds of millions of copies around the world. Every computer user in the world is providing growth momentum for Bill Gates' bank account through various channels.

It is already a rare achievement for a wealthy man who is supported by hundreds of millions of people not to be despised by them. To expect hundreds of millions of people to respect him or even regard him as a hero is basically a pipe dream.

But today, Bernard Arnaud is definitely a hero of France.

Even, a national hero!

At this moment, Charles de Gaulle Airport is already filled with loud drums, firecrackers, and crowds of people.

Countless media and platforms were broadcasting the airport's dynamics in real time. When Bernard Arno's private plane appeared in the sky in front of the airport runway, the French people were excited.

The plane slowly descended and landed steadily on the runway. A yellow guide vehicle flashed conspicuous lights and guided the plane all the way to the parking position that had been prepared long ago.

Bernard Elno looked at the shocking scene outside the window. He was overjoyed but also nervous. He even began to wonder whether he should step out with his left foot or his right foot first when the plane door opened.

The plane gradually came to a stop, and the airport staff had already rolled out the red carpet under the plane. After the door of the private plane was opened and the stairs were folded out, Bernard Erno, supported by his wife, appeared at the door with excitement. The crowd who had been waiting for a long time suddenly burst into cheers, and the shutter sounds of the cameras were faster than machine guns, clicking non-stop.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Bernard Elno limped down the stairs, with a faint trace of blood on his injured knee. Bernard Elno deliberately asked the medical team to do this in order to show his heroism.

What triggered his inspiration was the scene in which the President of the United States was shot in the ear during his campaign some time ago and then gave a speech with his ear bandaged.

There is an old Chinese saying that the crying child gets the milk. If you are injured, you must always think about exposing your injuries to the public. Only in this way can you gain the greatest support from the people.

At this time, the French Prime Minister smiled and stepped forward, took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with him, praising him: "Mr. Erno, you are the pride of France and the pride of the French people. On behalf of the French government and the French people, I thank you for everything you have done on Cheval Blanc!"

Bernard Arno was very happy, for he knew very well the characteristics of his French compatriots. It was no problem to make money from the French people, but it was extremely difficult to gain their respect.

He had long been criticized by the French people for his continuous price increases and forced implementation of the allocation system, but now he has suddenly transformed himself into a national hero. This wonderful encounter is perfect.

So, Bernard Erno said very modestly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

The Prime Minister smiled and said, "The President is waiting to meet you at the Elysee Palace. We will take a group photo in front of the reporters later. After the photo, the reporters may have a brief interview with you. If you are interested, you can simply answer questions from several major media outlets. If you are not interested, it doesn't matter. You can wait until after the meeting with the President to be interviewed at the Elysee Palace."

Bernard Elno rolled his eyes and asked quietly, "Excuse me, Prime Minister, are the American media outlets like the Associated Press, United Press International, and CNN here?"

"Here they come." The Prime Minister nodded and smiled. "Given their keenness for news, how could they not come?"

"Okay, okay, that's great." Bernard Erno nodded with a smile and said, "In that case, I'll accept their interview later."

"Ok!"

After the Prime Minister and Bernard Ayrnault shook hands cordially in front of the media cameras, they walked together to the media reporters. The Prime Minister smiled and said to the reporters present, "Mr. Bernard Ayrnault will go to the Elysee Palace to receive the President's summons later. However, I just communicated with Mr. Bernard Ayrnault and confirmed that he can give the media reporters present 10 minutes for a brief interview. If you have any questions for Mr. Bernard Ayrnault, please raise your hands."

All the reporters raised their hands high at this moment. They were keen journalists themselves and naturally did not want to miss such an interview opportunity.

The AFP reporter looked at Bernard Arnault with a look of confidence.

She felt that, as a new generation of national hero of France, Bernard Arnaud would definitely choose to be interviewed by his own country's media first. As the largest and oldest media in France, AFP would definitely take the lead and receive this first wave of traffic.

But what she didn't expect was that Bernard Elno was not going to give him a chance at all, but instead turned his gaze directly to the CNN reporter.

He pointed at the CNN reporter and said, "Come on, let the CNN reporter ask questions first."

The French reporter looked depressed and puzzled. She didn't know that Bernard Arno was already prepared to be an anti-American fighter and would start working from that moment on.

The CNN reporter did not expect that he would be the first person to be called on to ask a question. He was overjoyed and said, "Dear Mr. Bernard Elno, I would like to ask if you think this attack was secretly instigated by some people with ulterior motives?"

"Provoke?" Bernard Erno asked, somewhat puzzled. "What do you mean by provoking?"

The CNN reporter quickly said, "As far as I know, the terrorists who attacked White Horse Island claimed to be mercenaries of Blackwater, but I think Blackwater is a regular mercenary company and they would definitely not have anything to do with terrorist attacks. So I think this may be a frame-up to deliberately sow discord between the United States and France. What do you think?"

Bernard Elno sneered and asked him, "Where were you when it happened?"

The other party explained: "I am a CNN reporter stationed in Paris. I was in Paris when the incident happened."

Bernard Arno said with disdain: "You were in Paris when the incident happened, but I was on Cheval Blanc when it happened, right in front of the guns of these Blackwater terrorists. Now you tell me that you think this might be a frame-up. How can you be so powerful? Your name is Sherlock Holmes?"
