Become the richest man in the world starting from the rebirth of college entrance examination
Chapter 520: Fanning the flames
Shortly after the noon news was broadcast, some emotional fans took to the streets, holding a Banana newspaper in one hand and a lighter in the other. Whenever they saw Liang Chengping's newspapers and magazines in front of any newsstand, they would light them without saying a word. Soon more than 40 newsstands were burned, and the owners of other newsstands were so scared that they quickly hid the newspapers and magazines related to Liang Chengping.
Many years ago, Liang Chengping's newspapers and magazines were burned by angry fans. On that occasion, he deliberately slandered Zhang Guorong, and was retaliated by Zhang Guorong's fans. All dealers returned the goods and dared not to stock his newspapers and magazines again, causing him to suffer great losses. Unexpectedly, he angered the public again this time, and history repeated itself.
However, the public was very supportive of this behavior. Whenever a newsstand was set on fire, the onlookers would stop and applaud. Liang Chengping's despicable behavior had been unanimously condemned by the people of Hong Kong, and everyone stood on the side of Chen Qi and Zhang Guorong.
What’s interesting is that this time Liang Chengping really angered the people of Hong Kong, so much so that when street protesters were burning newspapers and magazines, the police on duty on the streets ran slower than usual, as if they were deliberately letting the arsonist go.
The entire Hong Kong, including the police, turned a blind eye to scum like Liang Chengping. However, these impulsive fans still had reason. They only burned newspapers and magazines related to Liang Chengping, did not damage other property, and did not harm the newsstand owners, so the police deliberately let them go.
By the afternoon, seventy or eighty newsstands across Hong Kong had been burned down. At the same time, no newsstand dared to sell Liang Chengping's newspapers and magazines. This was not the end. Angry fans found Liang Chengping's media company. The more moderate ones posted big-character posters and shouted slogans to denounce Liang Chengping at the door, while the more radical ones directly smashed Liang Chengping's company with stones. In the afternoon, more than half of the company's glass was shattered. It was useless to call the police. The police only came to maintain order because citizens have the right to protest. They could not disperse the angry demonstrators.
Liang Chengping was running around in the office anxiously. He wanted to leave the company quickly to avoid the limelight, but there were angry fans outside. He was afraid that he would be hit by rotten eggs if he went out. Hiding in the company was not an option. Listening to the uniform insults outside, Liang Chengping was even more tormented.
He had planned everything, but he had never expected that Zhang Guorong and others would take up the weapon of media opinion to fight back against him. He had always felt that he was the one who controlled the media opinion, and no matter how he attacked Zhang Guorong or Chen Qi, they could only endure silently and refute at most. But now, Zhang Guorong was so bold as to directly release the video. Now the entire Hong Kong media and citizens have become his supporters, so that he has become the object of everyone's scorn. As a result, what he is most worried about is not how to deal with it today, but what to do in the future. New news keeps coming in. Dozens of newsstands have been burned, all his magazines and newspapers have been taken off the shelves, and sellers have called to demand compensation and returns. Just today, his losses are more than a million!
What worries Liang Chengping most is what to do with his newspapers and magazines in the future. Will the next issue be printed? If he lets the printing factory print them as usual, will they still be sold? Will anyone buy them?
Judging from the current situation of public excitement, Liang Chengping estimated that his newspapers and magazines might not sell well in the next month. Newsstand owners would not take the risk to help him sell his goods. They could only wait until the situation calmed down and people gradually forgot about it before quietly putting his newspapers and magazines on the market. In this case, his newspapers and magazines would have to be suspended for at least a month.
If newspapers and magazines were to stop publication for a month, not only would the revenue be affected, but more importantly, there would be a serious loss of readers within a month. And one month is just a conservative estimate. If Zhang Guorong and the media do not let go, it may not be a matter of one month. It may even cause the magazines in his hands to be permanently suspended. Liang Chengping felt a headache when he thought of this.
At this time, Zhou Hao, who was far away in Beijing, received a call from Luo Yu, who said on the phone: "Mr. Zhou, I have arranged for my friends in Hong Kong to do the job you entrusted me to do."
Zhou Hao said sternly, "Please ask your friends in Hong Kong to keep a close eye on it. As long as Liang Chengping's newspapers and magazines dare to be listed, burn as many as you can get."
Luo Yu said: "Don't worry, I have already communicated with him."
Zhou Hao hummed and asked, "The siege of Liang Chengping's company is also progressing, right?"
Luo Yu said: "It has already begun."
"Okay." Zhou Hao calmed down a little and said, "Contact me if you have any news."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Although he did not see Zhang Guorong and the others' live broadcast, Xi Renran had many channels in Hong Kong and basically understood the content of the live broadcast. If he waited patiently for things to develop, perhaps there would really be overly emotional fans who would do something like burning the newsstand. But if he relied on himself alone, the scale would definitely not be large enough, and the influence would definitely not reach its peak in a short period of time. So Zhou Hao decided to add fuel to the fire from behind. However, he had no roots in Hong Kong and did not know many people. So he thought of Luo Yu, who was a private detective and had skills. Such a person should have partners everywhere.
As Zhou Hao expected, Luo Yu did have connections in Hong Kong. Zhou Hao told him his needs, and he simply hid all of Zhou Hao's information and communicated one-on-one with Hong Kong to negotiate a price. The people there immediately followed Zhou Hao's requirements, gathered a group of people disguised as fans and incited other fans to attack quickly, catching Liang Chengping off guard. Now among the hundreds of fans gathered in front of Liang Chengping's company, there were several hidden insiders who were fanning the flames.
Zhou Hao raised two requests to the people in Hong Kong through Luo Yu. First, as long as Liang Chengping's newspapers and magazines were on the market in the future, they should be burned as soon as possible. This would make all newspaper and magazine sellers afraid of Liang Chengping and dare not touch him, and never give Liang Chengping's newspapers and magazines any chance to be on the market. Secondly, Zhou Hao also deliberately instructed the other party to gather fans, besiege Liang Chengping and escalate the situation.
At this time, more and more fans were protesting outside Liang Chengping's company. Not only did fans come from all directions, but a large number of media also received the news and rushed to the scene to report. Liang Chengping had now become a public enemy, and other media would naturally report such a big thing. Moreover, for other media, they also wanted to take this opportunity to add insult to injury for Liang Chengping. After all, only if one newspaper and magazine was missing could the sales of other companies go up. Liang Chengping controlled several gossip publications. If he disappeared, part of the market share would be released.
Liang Chengping, who was trapped in the company, was having a headache about how to leave. His secretary rushed in and told him that more and more fans were gathering outside, and there were also many media with cameras. There were even fans who spontaneously bought water and lunch boxes for the media reporters and other fans, as if they were going to stay there for a long time.
Liang Chengping regretted it immensely. If he had known this would happen, he would have left right away even at the risk of getting hit by some rotten eggs. Now that more and more people were coming, even the media had come, making it even harder for him to leave.
Liang Chengping knew the reporters very well. Now that he had become a hot news, these reporters would definitely not leave easily. For now, he could only keep up with them and see who was more patient. So Liang Chengping said to his secretary, "Call a nearby tea restaurant to send some food over. I want to see who can outlast the other!"
The secretary nodded, turned around and went out to order a lot of food. Unexpectedly, the delivery guy was stopped by the fans who were surrounding outside after he arrived at the door. They refused to let him in and threatened to sit in their store. The delivery guy was so scared that he turned around and left.
Liang Chengping's secretary made more than a dozen calls for food delivery, but all the food delivery people were driven away without exception. Liang Chengping angrily called the police and asked them to disperse the fans and media who were blocking his company. However, the police officer who answered the phone said calmly, "Hong Kong citizens have the right to protest, and we have no right to interfere. If they rush into your private property, we will arrest them, otherwise we can't do anything about it."
Liang Chengping questioned: "What's your attitude? I'm a taxpayer! Now someone is making trouble at the door of my company and you don't care! I want to file a complaint against you!"
"Please call the complaint hotline to make a complaint. Do you need me to transfer you?"
Liang Chengping was trapped in his own company. Hundreds of artists in the Hong Kong entertainment industry jointly submitted an application to the Hong Kong government, asking the government to rectify those media that fabricated fake news and maliciously attacked artists. The Hong Kong government immediately responded, ordering all newspapers and magazines under Liang Chengping's name to suspend publication and rectify, and publicly apologized to the parties involved for the previous false reports.
At the same time, regardless of whether people are Zhang Guorong's fans or not, they all give Zhang Guorong enough understanding. Although many people have known some of his privacy for a long time, not many people really understand him. However, this time he released the previous video, which made many people understand him and realize how many malicious attacks he had suffered before. Zhang Guorong won the support of a large number of people.
Jia Wenyin was quite relieved when things developed to this point. Liang Chengping's slander against Chen Qi had been completely refuted and did not cause any adverse effects on Chen Qi. In addition, Zhang Guorong gained recognition and understanding from many people because of this, which was a blessing in disguise.
Jia Wenyin called Zhou Hao to tell him everything that happened. This time, she was lucky enough to fulfill her mission and prevent Chen Qi from being hurt by Liang Chengping. Zhou Hao was very touched by Jia Wenyin's actions and thanked her deliberately: "President Jia, thank you for your concern. On behalf of Chen Qi and myself, thank you for everything you have done."
Jia Wenyin said: "This is what I should do. I was the one who invited you and Miss Chen here. If you are affected by anything again, I will never feel at peace for the rest of my life."
Jia Wenyin then added, "I also want to thank you on behalf of LSL. It was you who helped him before, and this time he has gained everyone's understanding. LSL is in very good condition. When he goes to the mainland in two days, I think he will be even better."
Zhou Hao said: "If it is convenient for President Jia, you can also come to the mainland to have a look. I will entertain you throughout the trip!"
Jia Wenyin smiled and said, "I can't spare the time for now. These few days I have started to prepare for the charity auction of the Seedling Fund next month. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I gained a lot today because I was on TV. Many celebrities took the initiative to call to express their support and even offered to donate things to the Seedling Fund. There were also film and television and record companies calling to support the charity auction."
Zhou Hao said in surprise: "This is a good thing!"
"Yes!" Jia Wenyin said, "If this auction goes very well, the Seedling Fund will be able to raise a considerable amount of money for charity."
Zhou Hao thought of how Jia Wenyin had asked him to help come up with a healthy business model for the Seedling Fund. He had never thought of it at the time, and had not studied it seriously during his time back in the mainland. Now, he suddenly caught a clue from Jia Wenyin's words. After a moment, he sorted out his thoughts and said to Jia Wenyin, "Chairman Jia, I have thought of a very good business model for the Seedling Fund!"
