Chapter 287: Ma Wei's Forced Style, Hidden Power and Fame
As soon as Ma Wei finished speaking, he saw Vice Chairman Anthony standing in front of him and the members of the Olympic Committee around him, and the expressions on his face suddenly showed a slight surprise!
"60 billion US dollars?"
"I heard it right? 60 billion?"
Even Mayor Barkos, who was standing aside, was frightened by the astronomical figures reported by Mavie!
"Hmm... 60 billion, it seems that our Sochi has not had that much GDP for two years..." Mayor Barkos looked at Mavie in surprise.
Although he knew that since Mavie dared to say that, he must have his support. But if someone gave up the huge amount of $60 billion, if he was halfway through... he, the mayor of Sochi, would be in great trouble.
"Mr. Mavie, what you said just now is serious?" Vice Chairman Anthony asked Mavie confirmation.
The 1992 Barcelona Olympics cost $9.4 billion. The 1996 Atlanta Olympics was only willing to spend $1.8 billion. The 2000 Sydney Olympics cost $3.8 billion. Mavie's 60 billion US dollars was really rich. If this was done, it would probably become the most gorgeous Olympics in history as he said.
"That's right, Vice Chairman Anthony, 60 billion US dollars, not a cent less." Ma Wei replied with a faint smile. Although he can't afford the money now, with the growth of Google's valuation and the successful development of smartphones, he has a huge amount of money in the eyes of everyone.
After hearing Mavie's affirmation, the International Olympic Committee Vice President Anthony couldn't help but look at the committee members. Three weeks ago, London, England replied that the budget was 15 billion US dollars. Paris, France, was 7.5 billion US dollars. New York, the United States, was stingy and was willing to pay 1.5 billion US dollars. 1 billion more than the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics...
Although the Olympic Games are mainly based on the sports spirit of "fair competition, mutual understanding, friendship and unity", it is really not possible to apply for such an international prosperous era, with less budget investment.
To be honest, some of the Olympic Committee members present were a little moved after hearing this. After all, they had never seen what the 60 billion Olympic Games would be like. The scene must be extremely grand...
After reporting the relevant Olympic budget, Mavie and Mayor Barkos took the members of the International Olympic Committee to visit some infrastructure and rail transit hubs in Sochi. They also described to them what scale the prosperity of Sochi will reach in 11 years.
During the visit, Vice Chairman Anthony and others were surprised to find that the taxi driving on the streets of Sochi City, receiving tourists and citizens was actually a Lamborghini bull. And it seemed to be a public welfare nature, with a caring donation sign on the body.
"Mr. Mavie, Mayor Barcos, your taxi in Sochi... is it?" Vice Chairman Anthony couldn't help but ask Mavie and others.
"Vice Chairman Anthony, these taxis are a charity publicity campaign developed by our Sochi City and Lamborghini Company. Any passenger who takes a Lamborghini taxi will contribute to charity. All income will be donated to the charity foundation in Sochi City." Mawei replied in a faint voice.
"Of course, although there is not much income, Sochi, as a famous tourist city, receives millions of tourists from all over the world every year. Therefore, the influence this kind of public welfare publicity can bring is very huge." Ma Wei said jokingly.
These Lamborghini cattle taxis are a part of his extra points for Sochi to bid for the Olympic Games. After all, most foreigners like to engage in charity and help others. Especially the people from the Olympic Committee have relatively high spiritual literacy.
So when he heard Mavie say that this was a charity publicity campaign they had with Lamborghini. The favorability of the Olympic Committee was rising. Even some of the original budgets of $60 billion were gradually opened and their impression of Sochi City improved...
After some reception, the members of the International Olympic Committee were also taken on a plane and left Sochi. In the next few weeks, they will vote carefully to select the appropriate Olympic city in their minds.
It has to be said that after Mawei's intervention, Sochi City's various good performances surpassed the original too many. The twelve Olympic Committee assessment standards have also been perfect, leaving a deep impression on the members of the committee.
Three weeks later, Mavi, who lived a salted fish life at home, suddenly received a text message from the sisters Anphiliya and Bellavina, "Mavi! In the first round of Olympic city voting, Sochi was promoted to the next round with a 23 votes! The key is that among the 5 candidate cities, we have the most votes!"
It can be seen that the Anphlia sisters on the other end of the text message were very happy. Obviously, she also knew that Ma Wei's contribution was indispensable.
"23 votes? That's very good. I guess the second round will be stable." Ma Wei replied to the text message with a smile. Two days ago, he was still thinking about how many points you can get in the first round of voting. If it exceeds 20 votes, there is hope for a competition for the Olympic city. Now you win the first place, as long as you don't have any surprises, you can advance to the third round, and there is no problem in the fourth round.
"Yes, thanks to someone's help, otherwise my dad would say that the first round might be eliminated." Sister Anphlia really dared to say anything in the text message. But Ma Wei was not convenient to speak out and discuss their dad.
Things were similar to what Mavie expected. In the second round of voting, Sochi defeated London, France, and New York, the United States with 28 votes and successfully advanced to the third round. This made many Olympic enthusiasts in Russia feel ecstatic and proud.
Since the 1980 Moscow Olympics, Russia has not hosted the Olympics for 21 years. The previous two candidates were eliminated in the first and second rounds. It really made the Chinese people unable to be excited.
Mavi looked at related reports on TV and the Russian citizens in the news, and some expectations that Sochi could become a city for the 2012 Summer Olympics. At this time, he could describe it as "hiding merits and fame".
In this life, I am really promising. I can even participate in the Olympics bid and influence the situation. If the application is successful in the end, Ma Wei can really get awesome and get intoxicated.
While the Russians were waiting for the third round of voting results to be released, Mawei suddenly received an annual email from Alipay in his personal email address. This email made Mawei feel extremely familiar.
