The press conference on the flight UD725 incident held at New York City Hall lasted for two hours and ended.
Lu Chen was undoubtedly the real center of attention, and it almost became his exclusive interview later on. If the host had not announced the end in time, the reporters would have continued to question him.
And the final moment of this press conference came near the end.
New York City Mayor Middleton Fergus actually showed up in the large conference room, and he came to present Lu Chen with a very special certificate awarding him the title of Honorary Citizen of New York City!
Middleton Fergus is one of the core figures of the American Democratic Party. It is said that the 55-year-old intends to run for the next President of the United States and enjoys high political prestige in the United States.
The arrival of the slim, gray-haired mayor of New York City was a surprise, and the honorary certificate he personally presented to Lu Chen was undoubtedly another surprise.
The title of Honorary Citizen of New York City is not easy to obtain. Only foreigners who have made great contributions to New York and have considerable social influence are eligible to be awarded it.
Generally speaking, the award of an honorary citizen of New York City requires the approval of the City Council. Even if Lu Chen is qualified to receive this honor, it will still require the City Hall to go through a series of procedures to complete it.
However, during the term of office of the Mayor of New York City, there are two places directly awarded to him. The honorary citizen that Lu Chen received was one of the places held by Middleton Fergus!
This was even rarer than being passed by the city council, so it inevitably caused a stir on the scene.
Being an honorary citizen of New York City not only represents an honor. With this status, foreigners can enjoy many benefits, such as entry and exit in New York, length of residence, work permits, etc., including applying for U.S. citizenship, which will be very convenient.
Lu Chen is not the first Chinese to receive the title of Honorary Citizen of New York City, but he is definitely the first in the domestic entertainment industry, which is undoubtedly a commendable honor.
After Mayor Middleton presented the certificate to Lu Chen, he chatted with him cordially and took a group photo with him.
At this point, this press conference is truly over.
Back in the lounge again, beads of sweat broke out on Lu Chen's forehead.
These media reporters were much more difficult to deal with than domestic entertainment reporters, and many of the questions they asked were quite tricky and weird, so he had to brace himself to deal with them to avoid being caught with loopholes in his words.
"Your performance is perfect..."
Li Muchi gave him a thumbs up: "To be honest, I admire you very much."
As Lu Chen's assistant, Li Muchi watched the entire press conference on site and was impressed by Lu Chen's performance. Not many reporters in the United States are easy to mess with. They can persist in such a long interview and be asked so many questions.
There are no omissions, which is really extraordinary!
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, if I continue, I won't be able to hold on anymore."
Li Muchi smiled and said: "Then let's go back and you have a good rest. Negotiations with the Wall Street people can be postponed for a few days. I believe they won't have any objections."
This time Lu Chen also launched a wave of beautiful advertising for Zhongcai.com. When the news is broadcast, more people will know about Zhongcai.com, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the chips for Zhongcai.com to be listed on NASDAQ!
Today, Lu Chen has an aura of a hero in the eyes of Americans, and his favorability rating is ma. He appears in the public eye as the founder of a crowdfunding website, and the publicity effect is really stronger than any advertisement.
When Lu Chen specifically mentioned the crowdfunding website earlier, Li Muchi wanted to hug him and kiss him hard!
She now has more confidence to negotiate with the vampires on Wall Street.
The two returned to the Hilton Hotel together.
Lunch was hosted by Li Muchi, in the luxurious restaurant of the Hilton Hotel, and Wang Yan was also included.
Until now, Wang Yan has finally recovered from the state of shock. Since arriving in New York, she has been in constant contact with relatives and friends in China. She has experienced life and death crises. It is really difficult to describe in words.
Just after lunch, Li Muchi received a call.
She chatted with the other party in English for a few minutes before hanging up. Lu Chen looked a little strange.
Lu Chen couldn't help but touched his face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Muchi's eyes looked like there was a flower growing on his face!
Li Muchi asked seriously: "Do you know who called me just now?"
Lu Chen was speechless: "How do I know."
Li Muchi showed a proud smile: "It's Irene, Irene Christian's assistant!"
Before Lu Chen could react, Wang Yan was shocked: "Eileen Christian! No way!"
Lu Chen also remembered who this Erin Christian was.
She is the queen of American talk shows!
"The Erin Talk Show" is the flagship program of New York TV in the United States. Since its launch in 1997, it has maintained the ratings champion of similar programs for 20 years. It is also the longest-running daytime television talk show in American history.
In the United States, more than 30 million people watch this program every week, and it is broadcast in more than 100 countries and regions overseas. It is known as the highest-rated talk show in television history and has won 35 Emmy Awards.
Definitely, the influence is very large.
Erin Christian is the well-deserved queen of talk shows. She was born in Queens, New York. She grew up in a poor family. Her father died young and her mother was a drug addict. She relied entirely on her own efforts to finish college and later worked as a program assistant.
Identity entered New York TV station.
Also relying on her own hard work and talent, she completed the gorgeous transformation from assistant to program editor to program host, becoming an inspirational idol in the minds of countless Americans.
Both Li Muchi and Wang Yan have studied and worked in the United States, so they know very well what the name Irene Christian means.
Li Muchi laughed and said: "Eileen Christian invited Lu Chen to appear on her show!"
Those who are eligible to be invited to the show by the queen of talk shows are all current hot figures and must have great influence, which is also an honor for the invitees.
However, even though Lu Chen knew the name of the talk show queen, he didn't have much impression, let alone being flattered. Instead, he was more curious about how the call from the other assistant's assistant reached Li Muchi's mobile phone.
"New York TV station contacted China first, and Lu Xi told them your and my contact information..."
Li Mushi shook her phone and said, "Irene's assistant contacted me first."——
