Seeing that Tang Pu's tone softened, Lin Chen smiled and sat back down.
He didn't speak, but looked straight at Tang Pu, which made the nearly 70-year-old business tycoon feel a little scared.
How long has it been since you felt this way in front of others in your life?
"Dear Lin, let me tell you the truth, I really want to participate in the election. But that has nothing to do with any big reason... I want to elect, because I want to let all those who look down on me know that I, Tang Pu, am not
Just a big talker!"
The probability that he is telling the truth is... 100%!
Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to continue.
Tang Pu clasped his hands tightly and said while recalling: "Dear Lin, you are from China, so I don't know how much you know about my reputation on the other side of the ocean. But I know that although in the eyes of many ordinary people,
, I am a business tycoon, but in fact, not many people really respect me in the business world."
"In their eyes, I am like a clown. For the sake of the company's reputation, I have used various means to promote myself. You said that I am a real estate developer, why do I put my name on every building? Why do I even have to put my name on every building?
My helicopter, should I have my name painted on it?”
"Of course this is all for publicity!"
"The real estate business is not easy to do. On the other side of the ocean, there are not hundreds but dozens of real estate developers of the same size as me. If I didn't do this, my company would not have survived several financial crises until now.
"
"But there are very few people outside who can understand me. They just think that I am a person who likes to show off. There are very few friends who can really understand me!"
"Including Stephen, who was defeated by you this time, most of them are friends with me because of money. So I know that once I go bankrupt again, everything I have now will be lost!"
"I have sacrificed a lot to prevent that day from coming, including my daughter's happiness." Tang Pu pointed at Ivanka beside him, and then his voice suddenly rose.
"But! I've had enough of all this! I don't want to see others making fun of me. I want to be respected by others! But I am almost 70. If I want to become a giant like Sheldon, I know that I
It was no longer possible, so I thought, if I can run for office, I don’t have to actually be elected, as long as I can pass the first few rounds of primaries and stand in front of the national stage, people’s attitude towards me will also change.”
"I want everyone to be able to speak of me in a respectful tone, whether in front of me or behind my back, and call me Mr. Temple! Instead of calling me that clown behind my back like now! I want everyone to be able to use
Treat me seriously!"
By the end of the sentence, Tang Pu was already tapping the table with his fingers excitedly, his eyes were red.
Even Ivanka, who was translating on the side, couldn't help but be shocked by her father's excitement, because this was the first time she had seen her father lose his temper.
While Tang Pu was lighting the table excitedly, his thoughts returned to a night a year ago.
It was a thank-you dinner for Commander Omar after he was re-elected, and he attended as a special guest.
He originally thought that he was respected, but unexpectedly, that day turned into a nightmare that he would never forget.
In front of all the guests and several cameras, Omar severely humiliated Tang Pu.
Throughout his life, Tang Pu has experienced countless storms and waves, but such humiliation is unprecedented.
He was unwilling to give in. He didn't want to give in like this.
So it was at that time that he really made up his mind that he was going to take over the White Palace! Even if he was laughed at by everyone, he would give it a try. This time, it was not for show, but for himself!
"I want everyone to take me seriously!" Tang Pu said word for word.
"I see……"
Lin Chen nodded. The beating was successful. He finally let this stubborn old man speak his mind.
He was like the genie of the magic lamp in Aladdin, saying to Temple: "Mr. Temple, I can help you realize your wish."
"What are you going to do?"
"Mr. Tang Pu, my plan is to create a brand new variety show for you."
Hearing Ivanka's objection, Tang Pu was dumbfounded for a moment.
"Dear, did you translate correctly? He meant variety show?"
"Yes father."
Tang Pu frowned and adjusted his sitting position: "Mr. Lin Chen, I don't understand what variety shows have to do with my running for election? You may not know that I have appeared on many variety shows, and also served as a host and
Guest, these programs have indeed increased my name a lot, but it is still far from that position..."
"That's because these programs are not specially created for you. Mr. Temple, my plan is to create a variety show tailor-made for you!"
Lin Chen picked up the already cold coffee on the table, took a sip, and then slowly began to speak out his plan.
Lin Chen's plan was actually to bring to this world the program that made Tang Pu so popular in his previous life and could be said to have laid the foundation for his future success.
In this world, due to the lack of this program, Tang Pu's reputation is much smaller than that of Lin Chen's previous life. If he were in his current state, there would be no chance of him being successfully elected.
But if this program is broadcast, the results will be completely different. Lin Chen has calculated that the broadcast of this program can increase Tang Pu's probability of success by at least 50%.
"I call this show "The Apprentice"!"
Lin Chen recalled the situation while giving a rough overview of the program.
In this program, 16 contestants will be selected from across the country. Eight men and eight women will be divided into two groups to accept Tang Pu's challenge.
The 16 contestants will take turns serving as team leaders and will do a project such as product sales and business promotion every week.
At least one member of the losing party will be fired by Tang Pu, and the winner who successfully persists to the end will be able to get a one-year contract from Tang Pu Company, become an "apprentice" of one of his companies, and enjoy high-quality services.
amount of annual salary.
When Lin Chen explained the rules, situations and links of the show one by one, Tang Pu immediately fell into it.
His experience of participating in variety shows made it easy for him to hear the subtleties of the ideas Lin Chen provided him.
Although the protagonist in the entire show is not Tang Pu from beginning to end, but the 16 contestants.
But as the most important referee among them, Tang Pu’s leadership, his knowledge, his company, and his wealth will all be displayed in front of the camera to the national audience.
This kind of display is still the kind of display that looks up to the audience. The perception of the audience will make them stand with the contestants. In the eyes of the contestants, Tang Pu is the leader who is above them and decides their destiny.
After being brought into this emotion, the audience's perception of Tang Pu will naturally be the same.
Therefore, Tang Pu is almost certain that after this program is broadcast, he will gain countless admirers and supporters overnight, which will definitely be of great help to his future candidacy!
