"Now, immediately, delete the previous apology announcement and conduct public relations around the direction of human rights equality and freedom of speech."
"Oh, that's right."
"Collecting Western media to create an information cocoon , evidence to fool the public.”
After Chen Xing woke him up, Zhang Ming immediately called his public relations department and issued the latest instructions.
Perhaps he is a fan of the authorities. He never thought that he would make such a low-level mistake or the underlying logic of the Internet.
What is the underlying logic of the Internet?
1. The Internet has no memory.
2. Internet species are diverse.
3. Internet entertainment to death.
Let’s talk about the first point first, why does the Internet have no memory?
This is not to say that there are no traces, but that Internet information updates very quickly, and netizens do not pay attention to it for a long time.
For example, if there is a murder case in the news today, the popularity may last for a few days. However, if there is another murder case and the plot of dismemberment of corpses, then the public's attention will naturally be attracted by the dismemberment of corpses and gradually forget about the previous ones. Homicide.
To put it bluntly.
It’s just that the exposure doesn’t last long.
Many things were refuted, but the popularity disappeared. The moment the popularity disappeared, the matter was unilaterally characterized by netizens.
For example, take the MSG incident. In the past, every household used to add a little seasoning, and the food would taste more delicious.
As a result, MSG was rumored to be purely chemically synthesized and unhealthy. Eating too much will cause hair loss, cause cancer, and make the brain stupid. As a result, MSG disappeared from the dining tables of Longguo people almost overnight. .
It was less than half a month after MSG disappeared that TV commercials and newspapers were hyping up the health benefits of chicken essence.
Chicken essence, healthy.
MSG causes cancer.
The sharp contrast between the two allows chicken essence to completely replace MSG.
Can MSG really cause cancer?
The ingredient of MSG is sodium glutamate.
What is monosodium glutamate?
It is mainly extracted from corn, rice, wheat starch, sweet potato and other grains, and produces glutamic acid through microbial fermentation.
The principle is to use glucose as the carbon source, add an appropriate amount of inorganic salts and biotin to prepare a fermentation medium, and then inoculate glutamate-producing bacteria for fermentation. After the fermentation is completed, the purified glutamate is obtained through ion exchange. After glutamic acid is refined, sodium glutamate is continuously produced through a double-effect continuous crystallization process.
From the perspective of the entire production process, MSG is not only a natural condiment, but also a relatively healthy condiment.
Looking at the chicken essence that replaces MSG, MSG is the first ingredient in its list of raw materials.
What is even more ironic is that after leading companies such as Lotus MSG learned about the rumors, they immediately asked the authoritative laboratory to issue an experimental report. As a result, because the rumors were refuted too late, the public no longer paid attention to MSG. Its refutation of rumors has become a joke. MSG is unhealthy and chicken essence is healthy, which has become a stereotype among the people of Dragon Kingdom.
You know, this is what happened when the Internet was not yet popular and there was relatively little news information.
Nowadays, the Internet is popular and there are so many news messages every day. No one stays on one thing for long. Therefore, the Internet has no memory at all. In other words, the novelty of netizens will not stay for too long.
This battle between MSG and chicken essence has become a classic case of business war.
Among the mistakes made by MSG companies, in addition to not refuting the rumors immediately, they also followed the other party's thinking.
When the rumor was spread, I immediately thought of using experimental data to prove myself. This is equivalent to an honest person being falsely accused of rape and having to find evidence that he did not touch the other person to prove his innocence.
However, the most correct approach is not to follow the other party's thinking.
Say MSG cancer?
Which authoritative laboratory issued the report?
False accusation of rape?
Can a medical residue test report be issued?
If there is no evidence, there is no such thing as saying that MSG poses a risk of cancer, or forcing someone to have sex.
Spreading rumors and then refuting them is a waste of time. This means that you follow the direction of the rumors and refute them. By the time you collect evidence to refute the rumors, the public will no longer pay attention to whether you did it or not.
This is why, after listening to what Chen Xing said, Zhang Ming felt like a pot of enlightenment and suddenly became enlightened. Unknowingly, he fell into the quagmire of self-evidence, and he didn't even know it.
If you continue to insist on refuting the rumors and saying that there is no racial discrimination, then TikTok will probably end up similar to MSG.
Because of the diversity of Internet species in Article 2 and the entertainment to death in Article 3, netizens are destined not to pay attention for too long, and you never know whether the person on the other side of the screen is a human or a troll. , or rather a robot.
“I understand, Mr. Zhang.”
ByteDance’s public relations department worked overtime overnight and began writing new public relations copy.
They couldn't be lazy this time, because Zhang Ming just stared at them from behind and stayed up late and worked overtime with them.
When TikTok’s life and death are at stake, their nerves have been stretched to a thread.
......
Due to the time difference, after the Dragon Kingdom entered a long night, the United States on the other side of the ocean ushered in a new day.
Morning time.
A street corner in New York.
Several young people wearing red hats and clothing with English words "Banned TikTok" were counting money, their eyes gleaming.
“The remuneration is still the same, 10,000 US dollars each. Today your task is to go back to school, organize a large-scale student demonstration, and ask students who are still secretly using TikTok to uninstall it. If necessary, you can force it to be uninstalled. Do you understand?" asked the white man in a suit handing out cash.
"Understood, Mr. Smith."
"Got it."
"Is there still tomorrow?"
These people only have eyes for greedy.
10,000 US dollars per day is a huge amount of money for students. Even if they are not students, white-collar workers in the United States will take nearly two months to earn it.
"Yes, don't worry." Smith smiled, his eyes showed the shrewdness of a businessman, he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said: "As long as you do things well, you will get money every day. ”
"But."
Suddenly, his tone was a bit colder and he said: "Don't leak me out, otherwise, you will know the consequences."
The words fell.
A few strong black men came in.
With a height of 1.95 meters and a weight of nearly 300 kilograms, these strong black men are like hills, giving people a great sense of oppression.
“I understand.”
“We know what to do.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The students nodded quickly Give up.
Although they are famous figures in college, and some are even athletes, on the streets, their resumes are all useless. A peanut can help them see God.
"Go and get busy."
Smith waved his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, the strong black men moved out of the way, and the few students who had collected the money quickly slipped away, took a taxi back to their school, and organized students to boycott TikTok.
Although TikTok has not been launched in the United States, due to the smuggling wave of four mobile phones of Longxing Group some time ago, its popularity among the people is extremely high. After all, it is built into the memory chip of the motherboard. Now they have to do it The best thing is to check them one by one and uninstall them all.
In addition to the United States, other European and American countries have behind-the-scenes forces pushing to uninstall TikTok, with demonstrations in Britain and France continuing.
ByteDance’s headquarters in Europe has already been smashed to pieces and cannot continue to provide services.
“Cheers.”
“Dang——”
In the Rothschild Manor in Britain, Clayton raised his wine glass high and enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast with his family members .
For these top family members, the three most important things in life are eating, sleeping and spending money.
For breakfast, we had A5 Wagyu steaks flown in overnight. The red wine was a priceless wine with a quality of 82 years. Even the milk the children drank was freshly squeezed from the pasture and immediately sterilized on the same day. The other pasta was also made on the same day. Make.
The U.S. stock market was closed and TikTok was boycotted, which put Clayton in a good mood and he ate much more than before.
After finishing two pieces of A5 steak, he wiped his mouth with a scarf, then glanced at the people at the table and said: "Remember, don't waste food."
"Okay patriarch."
Everyone responded in unison.
After Clayton left, these members of the Rothschild family did not waste food, because the food they did not finish would be collected by special personnel, remade into dishes, and then distributed to the homeless.
Don’t Clayton know?
No!
He knows.
But everything has to go through a formality.
Arriving at his independent office, Clayton walked leisurely to the leisure area, came to the coffee machine, picked up the coffee beans himself, and ground a cup of coffee for himself, which was one of his few hobbies.
Because only the coffee you grind yourself can best suit your taste.
While the coffee was still boiling, a beautiful violin song suddenly sounded, coming from Clayton's pocket.
He did not answer the call in a hurry. Instead, he came to his office first, put down his coffee cup leisurely, and then took out his cell phone and checked the caller ID.
"The Kennedy family?"
Clayton hesitated for half a second, but chose to answer the phone and went straight to the point: "You rare visitor, what do you want from me?"
The Kennedy family belongs to the Angsa Consortium, which not only controls arms sales, but also has a deep layout in the power class.
"Convenient to talk?"
"Convenient."
When the word "convenient" was spoken, the person on the other end of the phone also got straight to the point and said: ""Petroleum Dollar Agreement" 》I hope you can help us renew the contract. 》
"Hahaha."
Clayton couldn't help but laugh.
It didn’t expect the Angsa consortium family to be so shameless, much more shameless than the Jewish consortium family.
The two companies reached an alliance some time ago, and the Jews want to remove the pawns of the powerful class in exchange for the fate of the Angsa consortium.
What’s the result?
The Angsa Consortium collectively broke its promise.
Now that the Jewish consortium has finally breathed a sigh of relief, just as it is about to reverse the situation, these people jump out again.
Listening to Clayton’s laughter, the other party’s tone also became calmer, reminding: “It is in the common interest to stabilize the value of the U.S. dollar. If you do not impose financial sanctions on Saudi Arabia, oil will be officially decoupled. "The Angsa Consortium is also a little overconfident now. It originally wanted to use external forces to remove the thorn in the side of the Jewish consortium and let them go. However, it turned out that the pressure of trillions of dollars was withstood by others, and there was a tendency to turn defeat into victory.
The inability to pull out this thorn means that the Angsa consortium cannot control the Federal Reserve Bank of America. The inability to control the Federal Reserve Bank of America also means that economic power is still firmly controlled by the Jewish consortium.
According to the Angsa Consortium's vision, they wanted Eastern Capital and Jewish Capital to fight to the death. Facts have proved that Longguo Capital, headed by Chen Xing, did it and firmly gained the upper hand.
Currently, the Nikkei 225, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones Oil Energy Index, US Dollar Index, and S&P 500 all need large capital trays. Coupled with TikTok's fanning the flames, the Angsa Consortium expects that within half a year, The Jewish consortium will be completely defeated, and then they can end up picking up this bloody bargaining chip.
But now the situation is!
TikTok is gone!
Once the Jewish consortium regains control of the media and completes the second control of the information cocoon, Oriental Capital will be completely defeated.
When the Jewish consortium frees up its hand, the unlucky one will be the Onsa consortium.
Of course.
The most important factor for the Angsa Consortium family to seek help from Clayton was the five heavily armed combined brigades stationed in Saudi Arabia.
They have not been idle these days. A terrorist force secretly instigated is approaching the northern part of Saudi Arabia, trying to find out the truth.
The result was very realistic. As soon as they entered the country, before they had time to disperse and infiltrate, hundreds of them were locked by drones in the sky. Then, missiles accurately washed the ground, causing zero casualties and annihilating the enemy. Brilliant performance.
The unmanned aerial vehicle suspended missiles and the combat method of accurately clearing the ground stunned the Angsa consortium family behind the scenes.
How to play this?
I can’t play at all!
If it were before, they would have done it with washing powder!
But now that Saudi Arabia has the support of its big brother, they dare not take action directly. They can only use more obscure financial games to force the other party to compromise.
“Let’s talk about the benefits.”
Clayton had a plan in his mind.
“You said.”
“You know what we want.”
“That position won’t work. This is our bottom line, but other positions can be filled by you. , what do you think?”
The two families have been dealing with each other for so long, and they both know what the other party wants.
After being silent for a few minutes, Clayton closed his eyes and said solemnly: "I think our two families need to sit down and talk again. You should know my temper."
“Okay.”
The other party agreed immediately.
The two consortiums have been fighting for so long, each trying to put the other to death and monopolize power, but neither one has succeeded.
Now that a spoiler has appeared, after finding that they can't do anything to each other, they can only shake hands and make peace, stabilizing the situation first.
Just when Clayton was still about to say something, suddenly the words "Things have taken a new turn" came from the other end of the phone.
Next second.
The phone was hung up suddenly.
Before Clayton could think about it, there was a knock on his office door.
"Dong dong dong——"
"Come in."
After the words fell, a blond, blue-eyed, plump white woman walked in. She looked a little panicked and said: "The patriarch has something new. , the TikTok operation team is trying to reverse the criticism.”
“What?”
Clayton is not calm.
Whether TikTok can survive has become the key to this game.
The current situation is that if TikTok is completely boycotted, the Jewish consortium has a lot of means to control the direction of public opinion and cause a sharp rebound in rice stocks.
But if TikTok is reborn and is accepted by the public again, everything they have done before will be in vain.
"They seem to have changed their public relations team. They no longer deny our accusations, but instead use the slogan of equality of thought and freedom of speech." The blonde woman briefly described it.
Clayton's eyes darkened, but he still managed to stay calm, waved his hand and said, "I understand, you can go out."
"Okay."
The blonde woman exited the office.
The moment the office door closed, Clayton immediately turned on the computer in front of him to check TikTok’s latest response.
[As an emerging software application that has been loved by 1.7 billion global users for only half a year, we have been working hard to create a community environment of human rights equality, freedom of speech, and open-mindedness, and to safeguard every user's right to know, The right to speak.
In response to the recent public opinion turmoil, our review team has an unshirkable responsibility. In the future, we will learn from the experience and strictly review it to ensure that every user can exercise their rights and freedom of speech while maintaining the healthy development of the network. ]
The announcement of just two hundred words made Clayton feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. The entry point of the "new public relations team" made him feel impeccable.
The announcement begins by saying that TikTok has only been on the market for half a year, which implies to users that the new software needs to be more tolerant, and discriminatory videos are not what the official wants.
The sentence "strive to create a community environment with equal human rights, free speech, and open-mindedness" is a king-level statement.
What do European and American people care about most?
Free!
equality!
Needless to say, freedom, people can give up high-paying and tedious jobs, and even be unwilling to work overtime, for the freedom in their hearts.
As for equality, discrimination falls under the category of equality.
TikTok has stated in this sentence that it does not discriminate, but allows everyone to have a voice.
When combined with this announcement, translated into vernacular, it is: "I was wrong. I am a new software. I originally wanted to create an open community environment with free speech. I didn't expect that someone took advantage of the rules and posted illegal content. In the future, we will strengthen the review of relevant content under the premise of freedom of speech.”
At the bottom of the announcement, there is also a picture that implies that Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube restrict user speech, saying overtly and covertly that it may be possible. It is the opponent's business war behavior.
As the new public relations announcement was issued, different voices also appeared on the Internet.
[Eric Hough]: "I have been using TikTok for more than half a year, and I have not found any unhealthy content, but there has been a sudden increase recently. I think the opponent is creating problems, and we need to give TikTok a little Time, tolerate the shortcomings of their review department.”
[Tisa Rufo]: “TikTok does protect my freedom of speech. If you criticize Jews and Angsa vampires on Twitter, you will be automatically blocked. I will stick to TikTok, I love freedom and equality."
[Nami Aflu]: "You are right, a new software needs to be inclusive, and we cannot ask it to be as inclusive as Twitter. A perfect review team, isn’t it? ”
[Damian Morale]: "The software is not wrong, but the people are wrong. We should not blame TikTok. It safeguards our freedom of speech!"
When "Human Rights With the slogan "Equality, Freedom of Speech, and Open Minds", TikTok's reputation gradually began to change.
“Bang——”
After reading the review, Clayton couldn’t help but slam the table.
If TikTok is reborn, all their plans will fail, and the financial battle in the stock market will continue.
“No, we can’t let them clear their name.” Clayton quickly called Backus.
"Beep beep——"
After several busy signals, the call was connected.
“What are your orders?”
Bakas’ voice came out.
He didn't say hello or ask anything, but just gave orders directly, as if they had a superior-subordinate relationship.
"TikTok is fighting back. I want you to use all your resources at all costs to get them completely banned."
Silence...
Continued silence.
After ten seconds of silence, Baskar responded: "I know."
The phone hung up, and Clayton began to look for TikTok's new public relations team through his own connections. , he believes that there must be new forces involved behind ByteDance.
The reason is also very simple. At the beginning, TikTok’s various denial responses were all what he expected. However, in just one day, the other party found a breakthrough and used the slogan of “freedom and equality” to clear their name. If there is no new public relations team or the intervention of forces, he will not believe it.
The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders know clearly. He wants to investigate who ruined his good deeds.
On the other side, Bhaskar, who received the new instructions, turned on his phone and wanted to see what the other party's new whitewashing copy was like.
However, if he didn’t know it, he was completely surprised when he saw it.
"Strive to create a community environment with equal human rights, free speech, and open minds." Doesn't this go straight to the hearts and lungs of European and American people?
You said there is discriminatory video content?
Okay!
I recognized it, but not completely!
People directly say that their new software has many shortcomings. Coupled with the business philosophy of equal human rights, freedom of speech, and open-mindedness, how can they continue to throw dirty water?
“Who is stirring up trouble?”
Baskar muttered to himself.
In just one day, TikTok has found an unusual point and used it to completely whitewash it. Without external intervention, it is absolutely impossible. TikTok’s first two responses are the best proof.
While Bhaskar was thinking hard, TikTok's reputation was slowly recovering, and downloads began to gradually soar.
Some people in the United States could not find a way to download it, so they simply restored their phones to factory settings, and the built-in TikTok returned to the desktop.
After such a commotion, TikTok has become a household software in Europe and the United States, and has indirectly driven the smuggling wave of Longxing Group mobile phones at the US-Mexico border.
At the same time.
The other side.
The imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
ByteDance Headquarters Base.
Zhang Ming looked at the actual download volume in the data center and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It has picked up. This storm is finally going to subside. We need to strengthen content review in the future."
"I understand." The head of the review department behind him said obediently.
After staying up all night, it's almost five o'clock in the morning. Old people like them can't bear the pressure of working overtime.
"That's right."
Zhang Ming suddenly thought of something, looked at the head of the review department and said: "From now on, our headquarters will be responsible for content review in Europe and the United States. You are making people more busy. Recruit a group of people and don’t let this happen again.”
Looking back now, he is afraid that if Chen Xing had not reminded him, TikTok would have been completely banned.
Transfer to the headquarters and strengthen content review. This matter cannot be delayed without delay.
After all, Chen Xing is not omnipotent. It is impossible for him to wipe his own ass every time. Moreover, Zhang Ming does not like to trouble others often.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I will do it tomorrow, but how many people do you think are suitable to recruit?" The head of the audit department threw the decision-making power back to Zhang Ming.
"You have to figure it out yourself."
"I understand." (End of this chapter)
