I Am the President of the University

The demonstration in Paris exceeded some people's expectations.

Originally, only a few dozen people took to the streets for a demonstration.

As a result, a local influential speaker posted on Twitter and called a rally to prepare for a large-scale demonstration.

3:21 pm, French time.

The city park next to the Porte Maillot subway station.

People from all over Paris are gathering.

The initiator of this demonstration stood on a high platform and was speaking with a microphone.

He raised his fist and shouted loudly:

"Cancel the antitrust investigation, we need smart constant temperature clothes!"

"Oppose government interference, we need democracy, we need consumer freedom!"

The people below also shouted: "Cancel the antitrust investigation, we need smart constant temperature clothes!"

"Oppose government interference, we need democracy, we need consumer freedom!"

The voices covered one wave after another, and the gathered crowd was particularly excited, and even fanatical looks appeared in their eyes.

"Let's go!"

Then with the last loud shout, the largest demonstration in France in 2021 began suddenly.

This wave of people walked towards the Arc de Triomphe, some holding signs, some holding placards with both hands, and some punching with bare hands.

Some people even had colorful paint on their faces.

In foreign countries, protests are useful.

Whether the situation can be changed depends on many other factors.

But whether the problem can be solved or not, its significance is unquestionable.

Of course, the people who participate in the march may not be serious, but may also have social, sports and entertainment purposes.

For example, they are pulled by friends, or they are bored and join in the fun, etc.

The parade team is getting bigger and bigger, and there are people who come to participate temporarily in the middle.

When they arrived at the Arc de Triomphe, the demonstrators had nearly 20,000 people!

Strictly speaking, the next section of the road is the real purpose of this big march: the Champs Elysees.

France, as the most recognized romantic country in the world, has always been famous for literature and art, especially Paris, the capital of France, which is known as the capital of romance.

There are many attractions in France, such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame de Paris, but there is another scenic spot that most tourists will not miss, the Champs Elysees, which is like a fairyland on earth.

The French name of Champs Elysees is avenue des champs-elysees, and the Chinese source is the Chinese translation of this street by Mr. Xu Beihong after a long period of research.

This is the most prosperous street in France. Not only are there many important French government agencies scattered around, but it is also a gathering place for luxury goods.

Almost all luxury brands in the world will open a store on the Champs Elysees.

The demonstration came to the Champs Elysees and soon attracted the attention of many tourists and shop staff from various countries.

The police who rushed to the scene could only maintain order in front of the angry crowd to prevent some intentional elements from mixing in and causing damage.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this demonstration was very civilized. No one took the opportunity to loot the store. They all shouted in unison: "Cancel the antitrust investigation, we need smart thermostatic clothes!" "Oppose government interference, we need democracy, we need consumer freedom!" In the Chanel store, Margaret, as a shopping guide, looked at the parade outside through the French window and was a little dazed. Zoe, a little sister next to her, came over and said unhappily: "I really don't understand why these people support smart thermostatic clothes." "That was developed in China. Our Chanel is a local brand. Why don't we support domestic products?" "Maybe he was bewitched?" Margaret guessed. But she remembered what her boyfriend boasted about last night, and she was worried. "Zoe, I heard Gavin say last night that one of his friends bought a smart thermostatic clothing and held a party for it. Gavin also attended and tried the smart thermostatic clothing. He said it was amazing."

"No matter how amazing it is, it's just a piece of clothing?"

Zoe sneered, "What kind of high-tech product is it? Is it Iron Man's battle suit?"

"We are a luxury brand. We are no longer ordinary clothes. It is a symbol of status. I don't believe it can affect us."

Margaret pointed outside and asked puzzledly, "Why are there so many people protesting outside?"

Zoe was silent.

How else would she explain it?

If the smart thermostatic clothing had not been released yet, it might not have brought such a big impact.

The main reason is that Guanghua University's first batch of sales, even if the market outside China is limited to 500,000 sets.

It can be calculated that even countries like France and the UK can have 10,000 or 20,000 sets. (Because of the high price, not many people can afford it.)

Everyone who received the goods praised it.

In particular, Westerners are also happy to have parties and will invite colleagues, neighbors and friends to participate.

One person spread the word to dozens, dozens spread the word to hundreds.

In a few days, it is no exaggeration to say that it has spread to most of France.

People all know the magic of smart thermostatic clothing. Even though the price is high, more expensive than an Apple phone, many people plan to buy one or two sets after the global release.

After all, their salaries are not low.

Besides, there is another kind called credit card.

Consumption in advance is a way of life that Europeans and Americans are accustomed to.

Zoe and Margaret were silent, listening to the shouts outside their ears.

I was panicking inside.

You won't lose your job, right?

It's terrible to think about this.

Even more anxious than the two of them was the French authorities.

Elysee Palace.

There was a lot of noise in a conference room.

The President is furiously criticizing Harvey, the main person responsible for this incident.

"idiot!"

"What have you done to me now?!"

"The number of people demonstrating has reached at least 20,000, and it's still growing!"

"The police told me that the end point of the demonstration is the Elysée Palace. How is this going to end?!"

Mr. President's head is buzzing now, and he seems to be able to imagine the shouts resounding outside the Elysee Palace dozens of minutes later.

If something like this happens on his watch, his support will plummet.

Nowadays, it is normal to be furious.

As the director of the Competition Bureau, Harvey was extremely anxious, but it was at this time that he needed to be extra calm.

After all, it was his antitrust investigation into Guanghua University and Lushu Group that caused this demonstration.

Harvey said helplessly: "Mr. President, if we agree to the other party's request now, it will wipe out the country's reputation. We can't do that."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Mr. President roared angrily, and his golden hair was lifted up by the gas sprayed from his nose.

"What is important now is to appease the demonstrators and express that the authorities will seriously think about it and convene a parliamentary discussion."

“Then contact the European Commission to see how this can be handled.”

"Even if we have to compromise in the end, we must bring together a few allies, otherwise only our French authorities will be blamed."

At the end of the sentence, Harvey gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Besides, in the end, we can throw out the lvmh Group as a shield for the people to vent their anger!"

It's now time, and I don't care about lvmh Group anymore.

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist.

As for Arnault’s anger, we’ll talk about it later!

The immediate priority is to keep your position first.

Mr. President looked at Harvey with a sullen face, and said unhappily: "Then let's follow Director Harvey's suggestion first!"

He was furious that the organizer of the march was one of his leading contenders to be the next president.

And all this is to be blamed on Director Harvey of the Competition Authority.

As long as we can quell the dissatisfaction of the people this time, even if it offends some people, we must remove Harvey's position as director!

…

At the same time, Britain was across the sea from France.

In response to the large-scale demonstrations that broke out in Paris, riots also began in London, the capital.

After all, their Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is also involved.

ps: There should be another chapter in the afternoon, evening at the latest.
