Chapter 1353 A Win-Win Strategy
To attract viewers, WWE is also employing various ideologies. For example, Alexander Rusev, the "Russian Monster," appears on stage as an invincible villain. He's accompanied by his attractive manager, Lana, a former NXT wrestler. Before he goes on stage, Lana presents Rusev with a medal. After his victory, a photo of the Russian president appears on the big screen, and the two salute together. Naturally, the audience boos...
Then they used this method to tell WWE audiences: Russia is their biggest enemy, how powerful and evil they are.
In reality, neither Rusev nor Lana have any connection to Russia: Rusev is Bulgarian, and Bulgaria has always been an independent country, never joining the former Soviet Union, let alone Russia. And Lana? Her father is Portuguese, her mother is Venezuelan, and she was a Broadway dancer who shot many risqué photos to gain fame.
That's what WWE is: it's a show, and everyone's an actor.
Xiao Peng promised McMahon that he would make a WWE appearance next time he visited the US to add to their hype. Thus, the matter was resolved: WWE would not hold Xiao Peng responsible for the beatings. If the victims wanted to sue Xiao Peng, WWE would not provide any assistance.
This was a good choice for both of them: for McMahon, Becky Lynch and the others had been the first to initiate the matter, and a lawsuit would waste manpower and resources and might not even win. He had money, but Xiao Peng had even more. McMahon certainly knew what it meant to sue a billionaire—it wasn't worth it!
It would be better to use this opportunity to expand your social circle and make friends with Xiao Peng. Wouldn't it be better if you could use this opportunity to expand WWE's attention in Daxia?
For Xiao Peng, this saved him a lot of trouble. Besides, he didn't know when he would go to the US again. Maybe McMahon would have seen God by then...
"Director Bao Wu, I'm really sorry to trouble you to make this trip so late at night." Xiao Peng said to the people around him.
An Ke then realized that the tall man next to Xiao Peng was the chief of the Amsterdam Police Department. When he contacted McMahon to direct the injured to be sent to the hospital, Bao Wu had already arrived.
Bao Wu shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiao, you are a good friend of the Dutch people. If anything had happened to you in Amsterdam, I would have resigned. Fortunately, your bodyguards were strong enough to protect you from the criminals. Otherwise, I really don't know what I would have done."
Anke was furious. How could someone who got beaten up be considered a 'criminal'? Damn, that already defines them? Aren't you Dutch policemen really good at playing tricks?
Of course, McMahon also told him the outcome of the matter. The criminals are criminals, and they deserved the bad luck of running into Xiao Peng!
But how did Xiao Peng gain such influence in the Netherlands? Did he occupy the ancestral tombs of the Dutch royal family?
Bao Wu stood up and said, "Mr. Xiao, I have to go back to the police station to follow up on this case. I won't stay here any longer."
Xiao Peng stood up hurriedly: "Bao Wu, I'm sorry to ask you to come all this way so late at night."
Bao Wu shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Mr. Xiao, please don't misunderstand. Although the case has such a result, there are still a lot of people in the hospital. After all, this is a large-scale assault case, so Mr. Xiao may be required to cooperate in taking a statement in the future."
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Bao Wu, I will definitely cooperate. Call me when the time comes and I will come to Amsterdam to find you."
"No need," Bao muttered. "Of course I have to go there myself. Aberhard brags to me every day that he can eat the best Chinese food at your house, saying that your family banquets are top-notch. I wonder if I'll ever get the chance to experience that myself!"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Bao, that's a bit of an exaggeration. If you like, you can come to my house anytime, as long as I'm not in the Netherlands. But who is Aberhard you're talking about? Has he ever had dinner at my house?"
Bao Wu's face was full of black lines: "Aberhard van Draan, our mayor of Amsterdam."
Xiao Peng was so embarrassed after hearing this: "Oh, you mean Lao Fan? Too many people come to my house. I'm confused for a moment after hearing what you said. Hahahaha."
It would have been fine if he hadn't laughed out loud, but once he did, everyone knew: Well, you've completely forgotten about that person!
You don't even care about the mayor of Amsterdam? Isn't it enough for us to admit that you're a "salvage king"? Bao Wu didn't know whether he should tell Mayor Van Draan about this. He would probably faint in the bathroom after hearing about it.
Bao Wu didn't want to leave, and An Ke couldn't stay here either. He wanted to take people to the hospital to talk about what happened here. But what he said to the two women before he left made them very happy.
"The president told me that you will have more plots in the future, but they will mainly focus on villains."
This WWE plot is very suitable for the worldview of elementary school students. To put it bluntly, it is black and white. After all, it is standard "redneck entertainment". Who would watch it if it requires thinking?
All WWE characters are simply categorized as either "good guys" or "villains." Of course, there are countless instances of "good guys turning villains" and "villains turning good guys," like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who started out as a villain and later became "The People's Champion."
For these wrestlers, whether they are good guys or bad guys, having more appearances and more stories is the bottom line.
An Ke's words completely resolved the two women's worries.
After seeing off Bao Wu and An Ke, Xiao Peng said to Stephanie, the owner of Air, "Okay, Stephanie, calculate the losses here today, and I'll compensate you accordingly."
Stephanie smiled and said, "That's for sure. Our people have just calculated the losses. Including the losses caused by the closure of the business today, your bodyguards have caused a total of 435,000 euros in losses. So, you should have no problem paying 500,000 euros in compensation, right?"
Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course no problem!"
Although he had a smile on his face, he was cursing MMP in his heart.
What does Stephanie mean by this? Is she taking advantage of me? It's not a big deal, but no one wants to be ripped off, right?
Xiao Peng took out his checkbook, wrote a check, and handed it to Stephanie. Stephanie took it and handed it directly to the assistant beside her. Then she took a card from the assistant and gave it to Xiao Peng: "Mr. Xiao, this is a gift from us 'Air' to you."
"What is this?" Xiao Peng was stunned.
Stephanie said, "This is our 'Air' consumption card. It has 500,000 yuan in it. You're always welcome to visit us. Of course, we won't put your photo at the door like our counterparts in Belarus do to attract customers. Your privacy is absolutely guaranteed. You can do whatever you want."
"Well……"
