Chapter 937 The Promotion Has Begun. "Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket"

The inside story of Fan's Investment Group, especially the speculation about the black-clad woman's life, was asked to give an explanation.

Ziqi had already had a plan for these things. He only stated that he was entrusted by the station to have a cooperation agreement with Fan's Investment Group, but it was a commercial secret and could not be disclosed for the time being.

The reporters were naturally persistent. Since Ziqi was also keeping his mouth shut, the people in the station might not be able to do the same. So under their pervasive spying, they finally got part of the draft of the cooperation agreement.

Although it was only two pages and the content was not comprehensive, everyone had seen a very key topic, that is, Fan's Investment Group's future advertising policy for the Coke project would be to package and promote young elites in various industries at a price of one million yuan per person, and everyone also saw a very important point, that is, the current target selection is mainly Chinese.

This draft immediately caused widespread heated discussions in the media. Everyone was speculating on how large the advertising investment of Fan's Investment Group would be this time. Would it be able to directly confront Coca-Cola's offensive, avoid the mistakes of Fanta Cola, and occupy the main consumer market dominated by urban population in one fell swoop?

In short, amid everyone's speculation, Fan's Cola was finally launched.

Large posters endorsed by 20 young stars from all walks of life appeared on the streets and important occasions of major cities across the country. For example, all the locations of Fan's Investment Group and its branches had corresponding promotional activities, free tasting activities and buy-one-get-one-free promotion activities.

The existing sales channels of the beverage industry had completely opened the door for the launch of Fan's Cola. The logistics were smooth, the advertising was timely, and the timely intervention of CCTV advertising and the concentrated bombardment of celebrity publicity methods immediately detonated the beverage market this summer in advance.

The media's enthusiasm was immediately attracted to this matter, which immediately saved Fan Wubing a lot of advertising costs, at least he didn't need to invest much in print media, and the publicity on the Internet actually didn't cost much. Although Fan Kang had already sold most of his network shares at a high price, the network companies were seriously affected by the downturn in the US Nasdaq market recently, and their values ​​​​shrunk significantly. Many people were waiting for a good price and competing to sell. The domestic network industry was also in a gloomy fog. The stock prices of the three major portals fell a lot. Fan Heng bought a small part of the stock at the right time.

Fan Wubing's sales strategy was basically to grab the market of Coca-Cola. Wherever Coca-Cola appeared, Fan's Cola would appear. In addition, for the supply of some hotels, Internet cafes or other entertainment venues, Fan's Investment Group also implemented a very favorable price strategy, which made Coca-Cola have no advantage in entering the market. The reason for persisting was nothing more than that there were still a small number of people who were superstitious about Coca-Cola and were unwilling to try new things.

"If you try two products under the same conditions, then our Mang√ Cola is definitely everyone's first choice." Fan Wubing said to the media people who came to interview him confidently.

However, the gossiping souls of the reporters will never be extinguished. They soon asked an important question, "But Mang, sir, we still want to know if the woman in black with you at that time is CCTV host Ziqi?"

"This question is not the topic of today. I will tell you later." Fan said helplessly.

The appetite must be whetted. Once it is exposed, there will be no hype. Fan Wubing knows this very well, so his attitude is very firm, that is, not to explain the matter. The reporters from the mainland are relatively honest,

The reporters from Hong Kong chattered and wanted to dig deeper into the materials, but were directly asked out by Fan Wubing's bodyguards.

At this time, someone also asked Fan Wubing a question, "Mang, Boss, do you know the Katyn Massacre?"

The reporters around were all stunned, thinking what is this? A tragedy suddenly appeared. Could it be that Fan's Investment Group has something to do with this tragedy? This is big news! "Katyn Massacre?" Fan Wubing was also stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Fu Fang was talking about.

He nodded and said, "Of course I know a little bit. Calculate this time of year, it should be the time for Poland to go to Russia for annual worship activities."

At this moment, everyone realized that this tragedy was a foreign one and had nothing to do with Fan's Investment Group.

The Katyn Massacre, also known as the Katyn Forest Massacre, was an organized massacre of captured Polish prisoners of war, intellectuals, police and other civil servants in the spring of 1940 by the Soviet People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs with the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

At that time, about 26,000 Polish soldiers and citizens were collectively killed in the Katyn Forest west of Smolensk Oblast in the Soviet Union. On April 13, 1943, Nazi Germany, which had invaded the Soviet Union, announced that a large number of Polish soldiers' bodies had been found in the Katyn Forest, and claimed that the massacre was committed by the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union immediately denied it firmly.

In the following decades, the Soviet Union and Poland continued to argue over the Katyn Massacre. It was not until April 13, 1990, when the then Polish President Jaruzelski visited the Soviet Union, that the Soviet Union officially acknowledged its full responsibility for the Katyn Massacre, calling it one of the serious crimes of Stalinism.

The Katyn Massacre was not an isolated incident, but the result of a series of political disputes.

The Soviet Union at the time hoped to establish a global proletarian government, and the hostility between Poland and the Soviet Union before the war was deepening. After the Polish-Soviet War ended with Poland's victory in 1920, the Soviet Union had to give up pushing the revolution to the West. Stalin was criticized for his wrong decisions on the Polish front, and the Soviet authorities regarded the Western neighbors as the main enemy.

Poland's eastward expansion with the support of the Allies and the Vatican, and the complete defeat of the Soviet Red Army in the Battle of Warsaw, led to the Riga Treaty concluded in 1921, which allowed Poland to obtain Western Belarus and a quarter of Ukraine.

As a victim of this war, more than 100,000 Soviet prisoners of war were imprisoned in Poland, of which only half returned to Russia, and many became Polish residents and joined Polish citizenship. According to documents jointly published by the national archives of Poland and Russia, about 20,000 Soviet Red Army prisoners of war died during this period.

Later, during the Soviet purges, the Soviets used extreme measures to crack down on the Polish community in the country. At that time, more than 70,000 Poles were killed by pistols in the back of the head. One of every ten victims of the purges had ties to Poland. Later, the mechanism of ethnic cleansing in the Soviet Union became more sophisticated.

In September 1939, after signing the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact with Hitler, Stalin launched an attack on Poland, which was resisting the Germans. One of his goals was to permanently destroy Poland's independence.

At the beginning of the invasion, the Soviets, as usual, isolated or shot on the spot those who they considered to be representatives of the Polish leadership, especially officials. It can be imagined that the Soviet authorities had planned ethnic cleansing in advance, just as the Germans planned in their territory.

As for the prisoners, the Soviets did not treat them according to international law, so they kept up the lie they had been so consistent with.

As Polish-Soviet relations deteriorated and the Soviet Union-dominated Polish territory in the late World War II, the Soviets successfully ruled the conquered country as a communist puppet government until the 1980s.

During this period, anyone who demanded to know the truth about the Katyn Massacre was regarded as an evil person who opposed the Soviet Union and the Polish People's Republic. This is why Poland has been controlled by the "Katyn Lie" since World War II.

The Soviet Union has always denied the Katyn Massacre. Although it later stated that it was responsible for the Katyn Massacre, it did not recognize it as a war crime or genocide as the Polish government wished, so there was no need to prosecute the surviving participants in the massacre.

The origin of the massacre was the proposal of Minister of Internal Affairs Beria to execute all members of the Polish army. The official document was signed and approved by the entire Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, including Stalin and Beria, and the number of victims was more than 20,000.

In 1943, the Nazi German military that invaded the Soviet Union announced that a mass grave of Polish soldiers massacred by the Soviet military was found in the Katyn Forest area near the German-occupied Soviet city of Smolensk. The Soviet Union issued a communiqué to categorically deny this, claiming that these Polish prisoners of war fell into the hands of the German army after the German invasion of the Soviet Union and were killed by the German army.

After that, both the Soviet Union and Germany organized investigation teams to conduct field investigations in Katyn, but neither of them achieved clear results. After the war, the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal also avoided making a clear statement on the Katyn incident when trying Nazi German war criminals, making it a mystery.

However, Fan Wubing did not understand why the other party suddenly brought up this matter. After all, no one in the domestic political circles would think of such things. At most, they would occasionally mention it in the news, such as the anniversary of the Katyn Massacre, and would never reveal the inside story in depth.

After all, this is not a very glorious thing, and it also involves the question of whether the justice of the communist camp represented by the Soviet Union at that time should be questioned, so no one is willing to mention this matter.

However, the other party did not seem to raise any questions about this matter, but only emphasized his democratic stance, taking this opportunity to criticize the Soviet-style autocratic system and accuse inhumane behavior, etc.

Everyone was speechless about this. After all, it was not the Chinese's business. The Soviets and Poles' business really did not need others to comment on it. What was the inside story, and how did outsiders know it?

Fan Wubing himself has many things to worry about, for example, the senior vice president of Coca-Cola headquarters has come to China and is conducting emergency discussions with relevant departments.
