Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth
Chapter 229: Fire Stealing Plan
"Is there still this matter?"
After hearing this, Chen Feng felt very surprised and began to empathize with Peter.
As for the Greeks, respecting tradition is a good thing, but we cannot let tradition become a burden of bondage.
Commercialization is an inevitable trend nowadays. If we stick to tradition blindly and the Olympics becomes a hot potato where whoever hosts it loses money, one day no city will be willing to host it, and that will be the greatest harm to the Olympics!
Chen Feng shook his head and asked Peter, "Then what are you going to do?"
Peter gritted his teeth and said gloomily, "We can only try to communicate first. If it doesn't work..."
He hesitated to speak, then asked, "Chen, what do you think?"
He always felt that Chen Feng was a very resourceful person, and he specifically asked Chen Feng to stay just to hear his opinion.
Of course, Peter had some ideas of his own, but they didn't sound serious, so he was embarrassed to say them directly.
As Chen Feng looked at Peter's strange expression, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind, and he remembered an anecdote he had read before.
That was during the Los Angeles Olympics, and the torch-lighting process seemed to be extremely unpleasant with the Greek side.
Finally, the Los Angeles Olympic Committee came up with a bizarre idea - stealing!
They bribed two local college students with money to steal the Olympic flame from Mount Olympia, and also recorded a video to prove that the Olympic flame did indeed come from Mount Olympia.
Although this matter was accomplished, it caused an uproar after the news came out.
The Greek side was dumbfounded. They never expected that there would be such a shameless person.
When the then IOC President Samaranch learned about the situation, he quickly flew to Greece to mediate, and finally held a torch lighting ceremony to calm the matter down.
This was originally an anecdote that was forgotten as soon as it was read and hidden deep in the subconscious, but now it clearly emerged in Chen Feng's mind.
A light bulb went off in his head and an idea came to his mind.
After thinking about it for a while, I think this plan is feasible!
So he said to Peter, "Peter, I have an idea. Since the Greeks won't let us collect them, why don't we just steal them?"
When Peter heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he became excited instantly, feeling that he had found a soulmate.
"Chen, you really understand me the best in the world. You and I are on the same page! To be honest, I'm ready to find someone to steal it. I've contacted two Swiss students studying in Athens to do it..."
Peter revealed his plan to Chen Feng.
After listening to Peter's story, Chen Feng thought to himself: "This kind of shameless thing is indeed what Peter is capable of. This middle-aged fat man is really unscrupulous to achieve his goals." This is probably the first time Greece has encountered such a person. He has been so troubled that even Samaranch was alarmed.
But if this is done right, it's a really cool and ingenious idea.
It's not enough to just steal, the act of stealing must be justified.
If handled properly, this Olympic Games will surely become popular before it even starts, which will be of great benefit to him as a sponsor.
So Chen Feng suggested to Peter: "Peter, we are not just stealing, we also have to hype it up!"
Peter was stunned for a moment, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "How to hype it?"
Chen Feng said slowly, "Have you forgotten Prometheus in Greek mythology?"
Speaking of Prometheus, he is a famous figure in ancient Greek mythology.
Early humans lived in cold and darkness. Without fire for lighting, heating, and cooking, life was extremely difficult.
Prometheus was compassionate and prayed to Zeus, the god of heaven, to give fire to humans so that they could live freely, but Zeus ruthlessly refused.
So, Prometheus resolutely decided to go to heaven to steal fire and give it to mankind.
When Peter heard the name of Prometheus, he was stunned.
Smart people don't need to say much. After a moment, he suddenly realized it. His fat body suddenly rushed out from behind the table, hugged Chen Feng and kissed him hard on the forehead, dancing with excitement: "Chen, you are really a genius!"
How could he not be excited?
If this matter is handled properly, his act of stealing the sacred flame will no longer be shameless, but will instead be tinged with justice!
Even full of drama!
Using Greek mythology to steal the Greek flame will inevitably trigger heated discussions in the global media, making the popularity of this Olympic Games unprecedentedly high, which will greatly increase the sponsorship fees of sponsors.
Thinking of this, Peter danced with excitement!
In his heart, he raised Chen Feng's status to a higher level.
After Chen Feng told Peter his idea, he didn't have to worry about anything else.
Peter seemed to be energized and personally took charge of planning the theft of the Olympic flame.
He also quickly called sister Melissa over and seriously and urgently instructed her to develop a corresponding media publicity plan to ensure that this action would cause a global sensation.
At the same time, he instructed Shmuel from the Investment Promotion Department to prepare to start subsequent business negotiations at a higher price.
While Peter and others were busy, the Greeks were still unaware of this.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng borrowed Raj's car and began practicing for the entire day. Afterwards, he went to take the road test for his driver's license.
On the day of the road test, Chen Feng sat in the driver's seat, his palms slightly sweating, and he was still a little nervous.
The examiner sat aside with a serious expression.
The car started and slowly drove into the street.
"Candidate, please answer, are there any special regulations on highways here?" asked the examiner.
Chen Feng controlled the steering wheel steadily and replied, "For example, you can't park in the emergency lane at will. Also, on the highway, if a vehicle breaks down, you need to move to the shoulder of the road and place a warning sign at least 150 meters behind the vehicle..."
Along the way, the examiner asked a lot of questions.
“How should I give way at an intersection without a traffic light?”
"What should I do if I encounter a police car or fire truck sirens?"
Chen Feng answered the questions seriously.
Of course, these are relatively common. The United States also has some more special traffic rules, which Raj has taught him.
For example, when driving on a highway, you cannot shoot at roadside signs with a gun.
Alaska requires dogs in the back of pickup trucks to be secured.
Maine prohibits parking in front of donut shops, etc.
Of course, it is impossible for him to remember so much, so it is enough to understand the rules in California first.
After the road test, Chen Feng gave the examiner a notebook with the Los Angeles Olympics logo and the signature of Magic Jackson.
When the examiner saw this special gift, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.
In this country, giving other valuable gifts might be considered as bribing the examiner, but this small gift with the nature of Olympic promotion was a clever way for Chen Feng to skirt the rules.
A week later, Chen Feng got his driver's license as he wished. He was very happy. After buying a car, his life became much more convenient.
