Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Vera wasn't in a hurry to step forward-it wasn't enough to go to the arms dealer's circle as her, but Bruce was different.

The Wayne Group is also involved in the military industry, but not much. Bruce easily joined Obadiah's conversation circle and started chatting with the other party.

As a showman who can freely switch between Batman mode and Bruce Baby mode, Bruce perfectly interpreted a young chairman who is "obviously at odds with Stark but still polite and congratulatory", and the conversations were seamless.

Just looking at the military personnel around Stark, one can tell that the military's weapons order must have been won by Stark Industries this time, and representatives of arms dealers from several other groups also congratulated Obadiah:

"Open the champagne! Old friend! Besides Stark Industries, who can win all the orders for the second half of the year through just one product launch?"

"You old guy, you'll be so busy in the second half of the year, right?"

Hearing the jealous compliments from several colleagues, Obadiah was secretly proud. He just wanted to put on a kind smile and helplessly sigh with excuses such as "no way" and "who let Tony ignore the company" As a result, Bruce, who had been on the sidelines, suddenly smiled and "commented":

"Stark can develop the TE III missile in such a short period of time, and it is only natural that it will be favored by the military."

On the surface, this sentence seems to congratulate Stark Enterprises for obtaining the order, but when it falls on Obadiah, it seems to directly uncover all the disguises of Obadiah:

No matter how publicized you are, you are just an assistant to manage the company for Stark. The success of Stark Industries depends entirely on the inventions and technologies in Tony Stark's hands. What does it have to do with you?

With Bruce's words, the smile on Obadiah's face froze instantly, his heart seemed to be choked by a big rock, and the hair in his throat was sweet.

This moment of stiffness, naturally, could not be hidden from Vera and Bruce, they squinted their eyes at the same time.

"...Tony is certainly a genius."

Obadiah also smiled reluctantly. He resisted the urge to vomit blood, pretended not to hear Bruce's provocation, and continued to talk about the advantages of the new products at the press conference to the people around him.

As a result, Bruce sighed again lightly:

"If this missile could have been developed two months earlier, the war in Washington would not have been lost so badly at the beginning."

Obadiah: "..."

The surrounding arms dealers: "..."

The bastard Bruce Wayne is poking their hearts!

Don't look at the dog man who seems to be so sorry and sad. There are a group of thousand-year-old foxes present. Who doesn't know that what he said is mocking the weapons sold by their arms dealers as useless, and they can't be compared with superheroes at all?

Think about it, during the Great War in Washington, the U.S. troops who rushed to support were armed with weapons they sold, and the result?In the end, it's not just about letting those damn superpowers solve the battle! ?

What's even more irritating is that shortly after the incident, the short article "Don't Let Walker Run Away" broke out pointing at the government's incompetence.

Provoked by Bruce's words, Obadiah and a few others had new and old hatreds welling up in their hearts, and the representatives of the top arms dealer groups in the United States all looked a little ugly.

Superheroes... huh.

As if he didn't know what he said just now, Bruce smiled at Obaday and immediately exited:

"Sorry, I still have an appointment with someone, so I'll take my leave first."

After all, he walked in the direction of Vera who also "seems to be passing by here casually".

Just click and run.

Obadiah followed Bruce with gloomy eyes, until he saw the playboy walking towards Vera, and the two of them talked face to face, then he smiled unintentionally:

"Mr. Wayne, this is a date for a beautiful woman."

Someone with sharp eyes whispered, "Isn't that lady the well-known Vera Senna in the advertising industry? I don't remember any cooperation between her and Wayne Enterprises?"

The advertising industry... public opinion, media, advertising...

Obadiah's fingers moved slightly.

He gave Bruce a deep look and turned away expressionlessly.

On the other side, Vera and Bruce chatted for a few words at the venue, then stared at Obadiah, and walked towards the outfield together as if nothing had happened.

Vera sent Mary a message, and Bruce whispered directly to the steel frame on the other end of the headset:

"Step up the monitoring of the actions of Obadiah and the arms dealers just now, he will do it right away."

Cyborg:?

Step up monitoring of what?what action?Why would Obadiah do it right away?What are these arms dealers trying to do?

Obviously I can understand every word you said, but I just don't understand why?

It’s like when I first started teaching quadratic equations in math class, I lowered my head and picked up an eraser. As soon as I raised my head, the teacher had already talked about calculus! ? ?

Sitting in the secret base, a mechanical biochemical man who had clearly monitored the whole process and understood every word and every action of Batman stared at the screen in bewilderment.

On the other end, Vera was telling Mary: "How about the photography team I asked you to make an appointment in advance? Arrange the time as soon as possible."

Cyborg:? ?

Batman's thinking is already unconstrained, but Ms. Senna is even more outrageous!

These two devils (strike out)... It is clear what the plan is exactly!

Under Bruce's urging, Vera greeted Miss Pepper Potts and left the venue quickly.

Before leaving, she turned her head and glanced at Tony Stark standing in the center of the venue, and nodded politely, thanking him for his previous help.

No matter where he is, Tony Stark is always surrounded by a lot of people, bodyguards, reporters, business partners, employees, military and political officials, etc... What's more, at his own press conference, it is simply a crowd. Heart holds the moon.

Vera's mind suddenly flashed through the performance of colleagues who came to visit when she woke up from the hospital after the Washington War.

They really cared about her, so much that they wished that as soon as she woke up, she would immediately call the advertisers and spread the news that 'Vera Senna' was in good health.

And at this moment, it was the same with Stark.

When facing him, everyone is courteous and flattering. When facing this genius who can create infinite value, everyone is scrambling to get his attention, trying to win over from Tony Stark. benefit.

And the center of all, the cynical genius inventor in a suit, is lazily and wordlessly dealing with an admiral, with his other arm around a sexy brunette.

After noticing the movements of Vera and Pepper, he turned sideways and looked at Vera across the entire venue.

The corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was smiling, but his eyes were half closed, peaceful.

Or... burnout.

"..."

Vera pursed her lips, turned her head and left.

……

The effect of Bruce and Vera's operation is remarkable.

Ever since Bruce pissed off several arms dealers at the press conference, the reputation of superheroes in the entire field of public opinion...is getting worse and worse o(╯□╰)o

If we say that before, the eyes of the self-media and those critics were only focused on "whether superheroes need to be regulated" and "how to control superheroes", then after this, the entire public opinion trend seems to be a wild horse that has run loose , began to gradually slide in the direction of losing control.

The entire media industry in the United States seems to have blown some clarion call. Several well-known print media and radio stations with a large audience have begun to focus on superheroes.

The Los Angeles Tribune, the Christian Science Monitor, the New York Express, and a host of other newspapers have dedicated special issues dedicated to superheroes.

Rocks TV, GA TV and many other radio broadcasts also launched talk shows about superheroes at the same time-and put them in prime time.

Although these media outlets that suddenly spoke out seemed to be following suit, in fact, what they reported was completely different from the original topic.

They directly changed "whether superheroes need to be regulated" into "whether superheroes need to exist":

"We have proved that people with superpowers are powerful. Each of them is equivalent to an army, even more terrifying than the army! You must know that during the Washington War, the government did not send troops to guard the city. The strength of these troops With the most advanced weapons in your hands, you can't even beat Superman with a single punch!"

"These people are more powerful than the latest weapons. What's even more frightening is that such abilities exist in a 'superhuman' with an independent personality. This is the deadliest threat."

"Who can guarantee that these superheroes will always stand on the side of justice? Who can guarantee that the government's control will really work? You know, the government can't even solve the aliens in the Washington War. If people do evil, their performance will only get worse!"

For several days in a row, these influential media have made efforts one after another, and the contradictory arrows have been directed at superheroes and the Walker government, which has aroused a lot of public discussion.

It has to be said that although these reports are extreme, the basic logic is still online, and in all the reports, a large number of rhetorical questions are used, and the tough tone forces the public to follow their thinking subconsciously.

In this way, people who have read newspapers and radio interviews and commentary programs will involuntarily feel doubts and fears.

...Yeah, superheroes are so powerful, does the government really have the ability to control them?

Such a terrifying ability is more lethal than the anti-army weapons currently possessed by the US military. Who can guarantee that such "super weapons" will not do evil?

The trend of public opinion gradually changed.

Going to search on social networks now, out of ten topics about superheroes, nine of them are discussing this issue, and one is calling on people to unite to boycott superheroes.

Although some people still firmly believe that "superheroes are by no means super villains", on the whole, most of them are slandered and abused.

At least Steel Bones, who can obtain Internet information anytime and anywhere, was so angry that his face was blackened by some people's remarks, and he was depressed for several days.

Because Vera strongly asked everyone not to pay attention to public opinion news before the plan, so on the superhero side, only Cyborg, Batman and Colonel Trevor, who also paid attention to this matter, knew about the current public opinion turmoil. It is also a little known.

In the past few days, after receiving bad news from the public opinion again and again, Colonel Trevor was in a beeping mood. He found Vera and Batman with a dark face:

"Is this your strategy?"

Let superheroes bear a bad name in the wind of public opinion, making their situation worse and worse?

When Trevor came over, Vera happened to be at the base. She and Batman occupied the entire monitoring room at the same time, sitting in front of the computer and busying themselves.

Hearing this, the two turned their heads to look at Trevor at the same time, even with the same cold expression on their faces.

Batman didn't speak, but Vera stood up, tilted her head, and said solemnly:

"not quite."

Trevor: "...what do you mean not quite?"

Vera, frankly: "It means—according to the original strategy, I should have added fuel to this public opinion game, found more studios and self-media, and paid them to speak ill of superheroes and the government."

Trevor: ………

The poor colonel stared at Vera, his eyeballs were about to fall out, he was tongue-tied for a long time, and then asked feebly:

"Ms. Cena, I'm assuming you're actually helping the Super Seven with a PR crisis?"

——You are obviously making trouble, right? ! !

"Of course she's helping us."

Superman, who followed Trevor in, heard the Colonel's question as soon as he came over, and he immediately explained Vera's behalf without hesitation.

This serious look of fearing that Trevor's questioning would offend Vera, but desperately protecting the calf, made Trevor "..." again.

He just asked!Can't you ask me a question? !

"rest assured."

Vera glanced at Superman, and it was rare for her to explain patiently:

"No matter how many self-media and studios I launched in this public opinion dispute, how many bad things I said about superheroes and the government behind the scenes-this account will eventually be credited to the arms dealer by Walker."

Trevor was obviously stunned, his head was full of question marks and the screen swiped:

"...What does this have to do with arms dealers?"

"Because in the past few days, it is the group of arms dealers headed by Obadiah who have led the public opinion from 'controlling the Chaoying' to 'cancelling the Chaoying'."

This time, it was Batman who spoke.

The big screen in the monitoring room went black, and when it turned on again, it was already filled with various data and information. Bruce knocked on the metal table and explained in a deep voice:

"These counted media are suddenly speaking about the Chaoying issue. Most of them come from the Lance Media Group. These are the results of Obadiah's orders behind the scenes. The other part is from other military-industrial groups. The shadow, so to speak, is the military-industrial complex secretly manipulating the direction of public opinion."

Vera continued naturally: "As the newspaper said, if there are superheroes, the army and advanced munitions will become a joke. The new products released by Stark Industries are the top priority in the second half of the year. Badia will certainly not let this opportunity to make a lot of money go.”

Seeing the shock on Trevor's face, Bruce added: "So, during this period of time, whether superheroes should be controlled or not has become the focus of the game between Walker and the military-industrial group. We don't need anything Do it, just watch the two parties fight to the death."

Walker has tossed so much before, the purpose is to include Chaoying.

Obadiah and the military are naturally not so happy, so they can only start with public opinion and completely destroy Chaoying's reputation first.

In this way, Walker will definitely not do it. People on both sides will manipulate the media separately, and it will be a mess if they just fight by themselves. If Vera goes to fish in troubled waters at this time, the Walker government will only hold the grudge against Obadiah. .

——As for the weak, pitiful Super Seven who don't have any voice?It's just a piece of fat in the game between them.

And because of Obadiah's sudden effort, Walker will definitely come to the Super Seven in a hurry.

At this time, the interests of the Super Seven and the interests of the Walker government are tied together.

As a result, the initiative fell on the hands of the Super Seven.

"Just wait and see, in three days, people in the White House will be begging you in tears."

Vera glanced at Trevor, who was completely stunned, and said slowly,

"At that time, it will not be too late for you to negotiate on behalf of the superheroes - until then, the Super Seven can change their name to whatever they want."

"—!"

Finally knowing the plans of Vera and Bruce, Cyborg and Trevor lost their voices at the same time.

Going around in such a big circle, throwing back the previous calculations of the White House, making the military-industrial complex jump unconsciously and nervously, playing with Walker and Obadiah at the same time... Is it going to change the official brand name of the superhero? ?

How could there be such a lunatic?

How could there be such a dangerous plan? !

These two people obviously seem to be calm and self-sufficient, and they are still pretending to be calm here. Do they know that the outside world is about to turn upside down because of their plan!

"But, even if the name can be changed, then how can the damaged reputation of the superheroes be restored?"

Trevor swallowed, and asked dryly.

"That's the most important part of the plan."

Vera smiled, and she rarely looked kindly at the big men in front of her, her eyes flicked across the faces of the calm Batman, the tense Cyborg, and the confused Trevor... Finally, they fell on the calm and steady Standing on Superman in the corner.

Sensing Vera's gaze, Superman took a step forward involuntarily, although his face was expressionless. He looked at Vera intently, and just heard Vera say:

"The core of this plan, and the most important mission and core, lies in Superman—"

The heart blossomed with a bang.

Superman raised his head abruptly, and before his brain could react, he had raised the corners of his mouth, and asked gently and eagerly:

"Okay, what do I need to do? I promise to get it done..."

The most important task falls on him?

good!As long as you can help Vera!Any task is fine!

It doesn't matter whether you want to speak out, negotiate with officials, or other tasks!He promises to do it all!

"--s face."

Vera continued.

Superman: ...
