Chapter 3498: Overwhelming Traffic

Bernard Arnault's sudden attack made the CNN reporter look embarrassed.

His original intention was to help Blackwater gain a better public opinion environment by raising a suspicion that it might have been framed. Although not many people might believe it, as long as he raised the question, it was equivalent to diverting firepower for the other party.

But he didn't expect that Bernard Elno would directly refute him in front of so many media reporters, and with a hint of humiliation.

He could only bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Bernard Elno, I am not Sherlock Holmes. I am just proposing a hypothesis and then asking for your opinion and view based on it. It doesn't matter if you disagree with my hypothesis. I just hope you don't have any misunderstandings."

Bernard Elno sneered, "Misunderstanding? Do you think I don't know what you American journalists are thinking? You know that the incident on White Horse Island had a very bad impact, so you are trying to do everything possible to excuse Blackwater, right?"

The reporter said awkwardly: "You really misunderstood what I meant. I am not trying to excuse Blackwater. I just want to express my personal opinion."

Bernard Elno sneered with disdain on his face: "It's really interesting. You, a reporter, came here to interview me on the surface, but in fact you wanted to express your views and convey your private opinions to the audience around the world through the interview. Don't you think that what you did is very contrary to the professional ethics that a reporter should have?"

The cameras of the surrounding media were all focused on the CNN reporter, making him very nervous and ashamed at the same time.

He could only say apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Elno, maybe there was something wrong with my expression just now. I take back my question just now!"

Bernard Elno nodded and said righteously, "I believe that the truth of this matter will soon come to light and everyone will be given a satisfactory explanation. I would also like to solemnly warn certain people and groups that if anyone attempts to tamper with the truth of the incident, I will do my best to investigate everything and expose it all."

Many reporters did not expect that this famous luxury giant would be so just and they all spontaneously applauded.

You know, his image internationally has always been not very good. Although consumers are flocking to their products, they are very disgusted with this person.

But the radiant humanity that burst out from this man today was awe-inspiring, and coupled with the fact that he had just saved hundreds of tourists from all over the world, including the famous Tawanna Sweet, everyone's respect for him deepened.

Not only the media reporters at the scene looked at him with admiration, but the audience in front of the screen also had great respect for him.

At this time, Bernard Arnault looked at the other reporters and asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"

A group of reporters raised their hands high, but strangely, reporters from several other American media outlets put their hands down.

In fact, the instructions they received were the same as those of CNN reporters, which were to find ways to exonerate Blackwater during the question-and-answer session, or to mislead the audience's thinking and their imaginary targets.

But seeing that this old man didn't give any face at all, no one dared to make things worse at this time, so they simply didn't ask any questions.

Bernard Arnault did not intend to let go of these suddenly low-key American reporters. He laughed at himself and said, "It seems that I, an old French man, am too direct in my words. I am not very popular with my American reporter friends. When I took a slightly tougher stance on the Blackwater issue, you were too lazy to even ask questions."

There was laughter all around, and the American reporters looked at each other in shame.

Bernard Arnault then looked at the AFP reporter again and said with a smile, "Next, please ask the AFP reporter to ask questions."

The AFP reporter immediately smiled and asked, "Dear Mr. Elno, I heard that you will go to the United Nations headquarters in the United States tomorrow and donate money to the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Office. Is this true?"

"It's true." Bernard Elno nodded slightly and said, "The incident that happened on White Horse Island made me feel fortunate and angry!"

"Fortunately, I have the opportunity and the ability to resolve the crisis on White Horse Island."

"What's infuriating is that this kind of crisis could happen anywhere, anytime around the world, and other people may not be as lucky as I was when they encounter something like this."

"So I hope to do my best to provide them with some help, and also to set an example for other individuals with better economic conditions, hoping that they can also pay attention to the issue of opposing terrorist attacks and do their part in this matter."

Bernard Arnault's impassioned speech really infected everyone around him and in front of the screen.

If other wealthy people said this, people might think they were acting, self-proclaimed, or trying to create a perfect image.

But Bernard Arnault was different. He actually solved an extremely serious terrorist attack. Coincidentally, before the attack, the whole world paid attention to White Horse Island through Tawana's live broadcast.

Coupled with the fact that the matter was later resolved satisfactorily and Tawanna personally endorsed Bernard Elno on a live broadcast, the influence was enormous.

Moreover, in front of the public, Bernard Arnault did not just pay off the terrorists, he was also bravely shot, and it was obvious that he had experienced the danger of losing his life at any time. With so many factors combined, who would think that he was acting?

At this moment, Bernard Arnault's reputation reached a new peak.

At this time, Ye Chen was leisurely watching the live broadcast on his mobile phone while sitting on a recliner.

I have to say that this old man's acting skills are really amazing. His righteous look, coupled with his weathered white hair and determined expression, his affinity and appeal are all very strong.

Moreover, although this old man is quite old, he is very fierce. He chased after the American reporters and started biting them as soon as he got off the plane. If he were to go to the United Nations, America would be in big trouble.

Especially Blackwater. What they want most at this moment is probably to kill Bernard Arnault. However, the person they cannot kill is him, because the impact of this incident is too great. If he dies, everyone will blame Blackwater.

Moreover, Bernard Arnault is not some unknown anonymous person. He was once the richest man in the world. If anyone assassinates him, France and the European Union will definitely not let it go for the sake of their own image, and the whole world will also pay close attention and demand an explanation.

For a time, all the senior executives of Blackwater were in danger, wondering what kind of trouble Bernard Arnault would cause at the United Nations when he arrived in America tomorrow.

……

On the way to the Presidential Palace, Bernard Elno's face was filled with excitement and excitement.

Today, he has found a special sense of honor that he has never had before.

In the past, his sense of honor came from his own achievements. How much money he made and what ranking he held in the world were the key sources of his sense of honor.

But sometimes others may not really respond positively to this sense of honor.

Just like the famous national husband of China, the second-generation rich man, he always considered it his greatest honor that no one was richer than him, but this sense of honor would only make ordinary people reject him instead of identifying with him.

The sense of honor that Bernard Arnault felt this time was given to him by people all over the world. People admired him and sincerely believed that he was a great hero. This was also the first time in his life.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel infinite gratitude towards Ye Chen.

In the past, whenever he thought of this young man who cheated him of his money, he would grit his teeth in anger, but now when he thought of Ye Chen, he felt extremely close to him and wished he could become his sworn brother. How great would it be if he could be like Hamid and call him a brother?

From now on, I will call him Brother Ye, and he will call me Brother Elno. I will accumulate 50 billion experience points from him as soon as possible and exchange them for a rejuvenation pill. By then, I will have a good reputation, a big industry, and a long life. Living one more day will be a top life!

……

At this time, the Elysee Palace in France was much grander than the one at the airport.

The president turned down all his original work for this afternoon just to personally meet here with this hero that France has not seen in decades.

The last French person to receive widespread positive attention around the world was probably Charles de Gaulle, the German who swore to die and never surrender.

Moreover, Charles de Gaulle was a man of integrity. Did he really cause any big trouble? Actually, no.

France was neither lost by him nor taken back by him. It was the American and British Allied Forces that landed in Normandy and liberated France.

But Bernard Arnault was different, he encountered such a big thing and he solved it, more importantly, this matter was watched by the whole world from beginning to end, it was simply the best stage tailor-made for him. There are lucky people in all countries in the world who have encountered sky-breaking traffic, but most of the traffic they received was only on their own country's network. No one has ever been able to receive global sky-breaking traffic like Bernard Arnault.

It can be imagined that for a long time to come, Bernard Arnault will be an idol of people all over the world, and even every time there is a terrorist attack in the future, someone will think of his heroic deeds.

Therefore, the president also attaches great importance to him and wants to seize this opportunity to help him establish his personality and image. At the same time, he also wants to let France take this opportunity to hold its head high on the international stage.

The state guest motorcade stopped at the main gate of the Elysee Palace. Supported by his wife, Bernard Arno stepped into the magnificent Elysee Palace. The president, who was supposed to be waiting for him, immediately took the initiative and walked quickly towards him.

After a few quick steps, he shook Bernard Arno's hand tightly and exclaimed: "Welcome home, Mr. Arno! You are a hero of France!"
