Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Maria mentioned that it was her father Putin who invited Holly to the family dinner, and Holly guessed Putin's purpose.

There is no doubt that Russia is a European country, both politically and economically.

But now Europe has basically squeezed it out.

The Olympics in France were in full swing, but Russia was banned from participating. Putin felt more uncomfortable than anyone else.

This is not just a question of sports competition, it also concerns a country's international influence.

The move by the IOC and France is undoubtedly intended to weaken Russia's international influence.

That’s why Putin proposed a “World Friendship Games” project after Russia was banned.

The project has invited participants from all over the world.

According to rough estimates, at least seventy or eighty countries participated.

Even though its influence cannot match that of the Olympics, it can still demonstrate Russia's international relations and national influence.

Originally, the "World Friendship Games" was scheduled to be held after the Paris Olympics, in a slap in the face of the Olympics.

But there was a rumor this year that it might be postponed to next year.

Holly speculates that one of the important reasons is funding.

It is estimated that the investment in this sporting event is around 5 to 6 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to half of the Paris Olympics.

Russia's domestic economy is currently in recession, and even as a major energy country, it cannot avoid domestic inflation.

Investing billions of dollars at this time will definitely cause a new round of inflation.

Putin has to consider people's livelihood issues.

Therefore, the rumors about the postponement of the "World Friendship Games" may be true, but it has not been announced to the public.

Just as Holly led Chinese companies to withdraw their investments from the Paris Olympics, she received an invitation from Maria. The reason is clear.

So Holly wanted to go into the Kremlin and sit down. His second identity was the representative of the sponsor of the "World Friendship Games".

In order to thank sponsors for their support, Putin will personally receive Holly in the Kremlin.

Everything falls into place.

Maria may not be able to see through her father's intentions.

But Holly had already guessed it almost exactly.

The two took a walk in the garden of Carlton Hotel for a while, and then returned to the lobby. Maria smiled and said goodbye, "Mr. Huo, you should go to bed early.

See you tomorrow. "

Holly smiled and nodded: "Good night."

After seeing Maria off, Holly returned to the hotel.

Instead of rushing to rest, an international conference was held.

Most of the participants were representatives of companies that withdrew their investments from Paris with him, as well as some overseas Chinese entrepreneurs.

Holly has always done things in a decent manner. If those who follow him suffer losses, he will definitely find a way to make it up to them.

The World Friendship Games is that opportunity.

Rather than spending money recklessly on the Paris Olympics, it would be better to invest precisely in the World Friendship Games.

Although the Paris Olympics has global exposure, sponsors may not be able to expand their business globally.

Especially domestic enterprises.

There are too many constraints and sanctions.

But the "World Friendship Games" is different. Even though there are only dozens of countries participating, these countries are basically in friendly and cooperative relations, and can even be said to be in a "camp."

It is much easier to do business in these countries.

Holly didn't need to explain this point in detail, as these corporate representatives could understand it.

So when Holly proposed to take the lead in sponsoring the "World Friendship Games", representatives of many companies expressed a strong desire to sponsor.

With their attitude, Holly can use his bargaining chips to talk to Putin.

Through these two international conferences, Holly clearly felt that the cohesion of the "Chinese consortium" was increasing.

...The next morning, Holly attended the signing ceremony of the cooperation between the International Cancer Research Center of Everest Technology Group and Nomeco Group in formal attire.

When he appeared at the press conference at the Nomeco Group building, all the major Russian media focused on him.

While smiling and waving to the media, Holly observed the news media present today.

This is definitely not an ordinary multinational group cooperation signing ceremony.

Because Holly saw Russia's most influential mainstream media, including Russian News Agency, Komsomolskaya Pravda, and Independence.

In normal business dealings, you won’t see these media.

They are all Russian international media with over 10 million daily visitors.

To put it bluntly, these media pay much more attention to politics than to the economy.

Holly guessed that this was also Putin's arrangement.

Do you want to completely push him to the opposite side of Europe?

Or is this a test from a Chinese entrepreneur who really wants to get in touch with him?

Holly didn't know.

But Holly was not opposed to it. When he set foot on the land of Moscow, he determined his own strategy.

It is true that the media has two sides, but if used well, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Maria was very observant. She noticed Holly's eyes and felt that Holly had guessed the real purpose of today's press conference.

Apart from being a partner, she is also Holly's friend in private.

Even some good feelings.

She didn't want to deceive Holly.

When he took the initiative to hug Holly, he whispered in Holly's ear, "I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation."

Holly smiled. He was happy that Maria could confess to him.

Next, we actively cooperated with Maria and the group’s senior management to complete the signing ceremony process.

The most thrilling and exciting moment was undoubtedly when Holly and Maria signed the agreement together and shook hands in front of the camera.

The video cameras and cameras at the scene were closely focused on the two of them.

Maria Enomeco’s CEO then gave a speech, affirming Everest Technology Group’s advancement in biomedical research and looking forward to the future of the two companies.

Finally, one must express one's patriotism and concern for the people.

Given the dire international situation, her status necessitates her making a statement in this regard.

Then it was Hawley's turn to speak. In addition to the usual rhetoric, Hawley specifically mentioned that he hoped biomedicine could transcend politics and serve all humanity.

While raising his own status, he also sarcastically said, "I wish the same was true for sports."

There was immediate applause and cheers at the press conference.

Holly is clearly mentioning the Paris Olympics.

Moreover, he mentioned this when he knew that there was a lot of media at the press conference today. He just wanted to tell his opponents to play fewer tricks. With such a huge amount of world wealth in their control, can they make some contributions to all mankind?
While mocking his opponents, he also established a tough image in front of the Russian media.

If Putin was testing or probing him, Holly would do something to show him.

Holly left the group amid the cheers and admiration of everyone at the press conference.

At noon, we had lunch at the restaurant arranged by Nomeco Group.

While eating, Maria prepared to explain to Holly what happened with the media at today's press conference.

"Mr. Huo, the media attending the press conference today..."

Hawley interrupted her and simply asked, "Is that what the President meant?"

Maria nodded.

Holly said, "I understand."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, this is not my intention..."

Holly smiled at her and said, "Ms. Maria, some things are between men and have nothing to do with you. You don't have to apologize, let alone blame yourself. I am now looking forward to attending the family dinner at your house tonight and meeting your father." (End of this chapter)
