Chapter 6939
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the local media suddenly began exposing Bertnardβs past scandals,
Because he had refused to speak out about the White Horse Island incident.
While everyone understood the tactics,
After the revelations, many people began to feel somewhat dissatisfied with him,
Or even their admiration for him waned.
In reality, this new move was a veiled conspiracy.
Everyone knew he was the one exposing the scandal,
But so what?
Once the scandal is exposed, peopleβs attitudes are bound to change.
However, no one could have imagined that Bertnard would be so hardcore,
Shutting down thousands of stores for dozens of his brands over a single disagreement.
Considering that the market generates tens of billions of dollars in annual sales and billions in net profits!
He simply abandoned it.
What a ruthless person!
The officials have been watching the live broadcast of the press conference,
Intending to wait for the reporters to ask questions,
To see how he would respond, which would definitely embarrass him.
But he never expected that before the reporters even started asking questions,
The old man would start yelling!
The round-faced aide next to him was also dumbfounded.
He muttered, βIs thisβ¦ is this old guy crazy?!β
βHeβs going to close all the stores tomorrow?β
βItβs just a small matter, is he really that serious?!β
The chief was also confused:
βYeahβ¦ no matter how you look at it, this is not a suitable business dealβ¦β
βIt feels like I accidentally f@rted and hit him,β
βBut he threatened to chop off one of his legs if I didnβt apologizeβ¦β
βThis is completely fcuking insane!β
βHe needs intervention from a brain surgeon and a psychologist!β
The aide asked awkwardly,
βThen what should we do now?β
βThis old man has made the situation a bit too passive.β
βWe just threatened him and said we would ticket his car.β
βBut he just gave up his car.β
βIf he really closes all the stores,β
βThen the outside public opinion will definitely turn to his sideβ¦β
βI donβt know what to do now!β
The chief cursed in anger.
βThis is bull@hit! Absurd!β
βWe were supposed to give each other a break and
βBut this old ba5tard wonβt even give me face.β
βNow Iβm about to discredit him, and heβs just quittingβ¦β
After Bertnard announced his decision,
Reporters at the scene raised their hands to ask questions.
This time, Bertnard prioritized AFP.
A reporter from AFP asked him,
βMr. Arno, as far as I know, your groupβs net profit in this market is about 20 to 30 billion dollars each year, or even more.β
βYou are suddenly going to close all your stores here.β
βIs this not a bit too much of a loss for you?β
Bertnard said without hesitation,
βThe loss is a bit large, but it doesnβt matter.β
βWhat I care about now is whether justice can be served.β
At this point, he looked at several other media reporters in the audience and smiled,
βMy journalist friends present should all know that your media started to dig up some of my past behaviors and deeds dozens of minutes ago.β
βI also admit that in the process of accumulating original capital,β
βI, like many businessmen who have made it to the rich list,β
βHave more or less original sins.β
βI admit this.β
βI wonβt deny it, and I canβt deny it.β
βAll I can do now is give back to society to the best of my ability through concrete actions,β
βPaying for the mistakes I made back then.β
βEveryone makes mistakes,β
βBut some never admit them, let alone pay for them.β
βBut Iβm different.β
βI admit them, and Iβm willing to bear the consequences.β
Upon seeing this, the crowdβs attitude toward Bertnard instantly changed:
βAlthough the old man did a lot of dirty things in the past,β
βHeβs now a prodigal son.β
βTo uphold justice, heβs even given up billions of dollars in annual net profits.β
βWhatβs wrong with being a bit shady in the past?β
βHuh? Whatβs wrong? Answer me! Look me in the eye and answer me!β
The reporters at the scene were also convinced.
The old manβs attitude and words had formed an iron wall,
And from then on, he was invulnerable.
Of course, this presupposes that he resolutely implements the decision to close the store,
Rather than just making a false move and playing tricks on the public.
Some reporters, unconvinced he would make such a huge sacrifice, asked him,
βMr. Arno, are you sure all stores will be closed this morning?β
βOr are you just playing tricks on us?β
βEvery store will naturally close at midnight,β
βBut theyβll reopen the next morning.β
βIβd like to ask, after closing this morning,β
βWhen will all your stores across the country reopen?β
