I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 216

Hearing the other party's self-reported family name, Lin Xiao was a little surprised. When he changed his mind, he guessed a general idea.

Huaxia Consumer News, this is coming to reconcile with myself.

This reaction was faster than I imagined.

As for where the other party got his phone number, Lin Xiao didn't know.

It is very likely that they found it through Huang Zhifan and the others. After all, Huaxia Consumer News is also an old-fashioned newspaper, so there should still be some channels for this.

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Wu."

Hearing the other party speak in a good tone, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face, Lin Xiao's tone is not too bad.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, first of all, I would like to apologize to you and your company, because some reporters in our newspaper office are not rigorous, and our review is not strict, which has brought certain problems to Ltrip and "Stone Age". negative impact."

At this time, Wu Fanghai's voice came again, but his posture was lowered.

However, Lin Xiao didn't react too much because the other party's posture was lowered. He didn't know the other party's intention for a while, so he just didn't make a sound at this time.

Wu Fanghai on the other side of the phone heard that Lin Xiao was silent, so he directly expressed his intention and said:
"Mr. Lin, I'm calling you this time, mainly to apologize to your company on behalf of the newspaper, and at the same time, I want to communicate with you about the follow-up matters."

"In view of the inaccuracy of our report this time and the negative impact it has brought on you, our newspaper office has decided to publish an apology letter in the newspaper to be published tomorrow."

When Lin Xiao heard this, he finally responded, "Well, that's fine, you can go on board."

Hearing Lin Xiao's tone as if he was about to hang up the phone, Wu Fanghai hurriedly said:
"Mr. Lin, regarding the comments on the Internet, can you ask your company to help eliminate them? Currently, there are quite a lot of gamers scolding our newspaper online."

"Oh, Editor-in-Chief Wu, I'm sorry." Lin Xiao refused without hesitation.

"Those comments on the Internet are spontaneous behaviors of netizens and gamers, and we have no way of controlling them. It is impossible for us to find them one by one and persuade them, right?"

When Wu Fanghai heard this, his voice froze immediately. Although he knew that Lin Xiao was refusing, he couldn't find anything wrong with it.

For a while, Wu Fanghai didn't know what to do, so he could only continue to bite the bullet and say:

"Mr. Lin, I know that you must have a solution. I called you today, and I believe you should also be able to feel our sincerity."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao fell silent again.

Sincerity Of course he can feel Wu Fanghai's sincerity, and he doesn't know if all this is Wu Fanghai's idea, if so, he thinks Wu Fanghai is a smart person.

However, this does not mean that Lin Xiao agreed to the other party easily.

As the saying goes, the clay bodhisattva still has three parts of the soil nature. Although Lin Xiao is not a very narrow-minded person, he really can't do it if he wants to repay a grievance with virtue.

From Lin Xiao's point of view, I'm working hard on my game and website, but your newspaper suddenly jumps out of a report to point fingers, and it's still all kinds of belittling.

If it wasn't for my timely response in this regard, the impact on the entire website and word of mouth would be impossible to estimate at once.

Now, you take the initiative to come to your door to apologize, that's what you should do.

However, on this basis, you still want me to help you eliminate the negative effects, why?
"Boss Lin, if you have any conditions, please bring them up." Wu Fanghai was out of control at this time, so he could only say this.

That's about the same!If you make a mistake, you will naturally have to pay the price.

Lin Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "Editor-in-Chief Wu, to be honest, there really isn't anything in your newspaper that attracts me too much."

"However, since Editor-in-Chief Wu is so sincere, we might as well talk about it."

When Lin Xiao said this, he paused slightly and said: "As for the apology, my request is that it must be placed on the front page of the newspaper.

At the same time, an apology can be made in the name of a reporter, but the newspaper office must show a certain attitude.Although the report was written by a reporter, the location of the report was issued by the newspaper. "

After hearing this, Wu Fanghai said with some embarrassment: "Apology on the front page? This has too much influence..."

"There are no conditions to say about this." Lin Xiao interrupted the other party directly.

Putting it on the front page has influence!
It was questioned the day before, and now an apology is posted on the front page. The advertising benefits brought about by such a reversal...

To be honest, if it wasn't for this point, Lin Xiaozhen would not have liked the other party's apology.

Without giving Wu Fanghai a chance to speak, Lin Xiao continued: "At the same time, in the next year, China Consumer News will publish a special-page advertisement for me for free every month, and write an article dedicated to our company's products every month. report."

For Lin Xiao, the only thing that makes Huaxia Consumer News more attractive to him is that this newspaper actually faces consumers directly, and it still has a certain influence in the entire Huaxia consumer group, especially the mid-to-high-end consumer group. .

Wu Fanghai was silent for a few seconds after listening, and then said:
"Boss Lin, it's not that I want to directly refuse. Although there is a certain overlap between your online game players and our newspaper's readership, the overlap is not large. If you publish it every month, it may not be effective."

"I know, but my advertisement doesn't have to be an online game." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Your own USB flash drive is very suitable for advertising in newspapers.

Or in the future, if you make your own MP3, it is actually very suitable.

"Engu Technology is also my company. For example, Editor-in-Chief Wu can definitely do a U disk special edition advertisement for me. Of course, I will have other products in the later stage." Lin Xiao continued.

After Wu Fanghai listened, he said: "Okay, Mr. Lin, please wait a moment, I want to make a report to the president. At the same time, I want to ask Mr. Lin, what method does your company plan to use to quell the abuse on the Internet?" .”

"You don't have to worry about Editor-in-Chief Wu. If I really can't do it, it's a big deal that your advertisement won't be published." Lin Xiao refused politely.

It's all up, do you still have room to bargain?
"Okay, Mr. Lin, wait a moment, I'll call you later."

After speaking, Wu Fanghai hung up the phone.

On Lin Xiao's side, the phone rang again immediately. This time, it was Huang Zhifan who called.

After Mr. Lin answered the phone, Huang Zhifan immediately said: "Mr. Lin, today's online comments on the matter have completely reversed, but there have been a lot of criticisms against China Consumer News."

"Indeed, because netizens' emotions actually follow the progress of the matter." Lin Xiao replied. Regarding Huang Zhifan, what he said was more thorough.

"I stood up and refuted before to support "Stone Age". In fact, to put it bluntly, it was purely because of trust in Ltrip's word-of-mouth and recognition of "Stone Age". The reason why they didn't scold Huaxia Consumer News too much yesterday , because they actually don’t quite understand who is right and who is wrong in this matter.”

Lin Xiao analyzed it to Huang Zhifan.

"But now, when the traditional media also voiced their voices and released real data, their backs became stiff, knowing that Ltrip and "Stone Age" were really on the right side, and Huaxia was on the wrong side. The Consumer News was naturally sprayed by them."

After hearing this, Huang Zhifan asked curiously, "Did you already think of this before I sent out the report?"

"Not really." Lin Xiao replied.

In fact, as a later generation who has seen too many scolding battles on the Internet, he knows that the focus of public opinion will most likely be shifted to Huaxia Consumer News, but this is indeed not his original intention, and naturally there is no need to Admit it, otherwise it will look like you are using Huang Zhifan.

Lin Xiao said at this time: "At that time, I just wanted to announce the truth of the matter. These were all analyzed after seeing the development of the situation."

Huang Zhifan heaved a sigh of relief immediately after hearing this, and he was still worried that he would be used as a gun.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Lin, I didn't mean to make peace, and no one asked me to communicate with you, but I want to remind you a little.

Because of this, the industry is still a bit afraid of your company's influence on the Internet. If you form an existing impression, it may not be very beneficial to your company. "

After Huang Zhifan finished speaking, Lin Xiao immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, this matter will subside soon. I have no intention of beating others to death."

Lin Xiao is speaking the truth.

In fact, even if Huaxia Consumer News didn't take the initiative to apologize, Lin Xiao was going to shift the focus of public opinion after the matter simmered for a few days and made the other party feel uncomfortable.

After all, if the Internet is flooded with too much criticism of Huaxia Consumer News, everyone will think that all this is guided by their own company, which will inevitably leave a bad impression on people.

Now that traditional media is still the mainstream, there is no need to offend the entire industry.

Moreover, a company that has too much influence on public opinion is not a good thing for Huaxia, and it is appropriate for me to keep a low profile.

Of course, if Huaxia Consumer News doesn't want to suffer for so long and have such a big impact, it will naturally have to pay a price.

Lin Xiao is not a kind person.

After hearing what Lin Xiao said, Huang Zhifan didn't say much, and hung up the phone immediately.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiao's phone rang again, and it was still Wu Fanghai.

"Boss Lin, we agree to your terms."

Wu Fanghai said straight to the point, and then asked very curiously: "I want to ask, when will things on the Internet calm down?"

"You guys do your stuff first." Lin Xiao didn't answer at all, just dropped this sentence.

The next day, netizens saw that a news suddenly spread on the Internet.

"Huaxia Consumer News has apologized to Ltrip and Stone Age, admitting that their previous reports were inaccurate."

"Really? Is it so awesome?"

"Of course it is true. It was published on the front page of Huaxia Consumer News published today."

"I'll go take a look right away."

This news was first exposed in a chat room, and then quickly spread across the Internet. After all, this incident has been the hottest topic in the past two days.

Some players even went to buy newspapers to prove it. For a while, there were a lot more people looking for "Huaxia Consumer News" in the newsstand. Seeing such a good sales volume, Huaxia Consumer News didn't know whether to laugh or cry. .

After this verification, netizens found that Huaxia Consumer News published an apology letter on the front page, which contained two aspects.

One is that Zhang Lei, the reporter who wrote the report before, apologized to the users of Eternal Network, Ltrip and "Stone Age" for his previous false report in a very sincere tone.

The other is that Huaxia Consumer News apologized for its lax check and review, and promised to strengthen content review in the future.

This time, there was another wave of heated discussions on the Internet.

"Laiyou.com is really awesome, "Stone Age" seems to be really popular! Even the newspapers came out to apologize, this is the first time I have seen it!"

Seeing that the newspapers came out to apologize, many people looked sideways at it.

……

"Victory! Ltrip is the best! The Stone Age is the best!"

This kind of cheering for the victory of "Stone Age", this is of course gamers.

There are also netizens who are interested in "Stone Age" through this series of events, and expressed that they want to play and watch it.

"The data of the Stone Age seems to be completely real. So many people play, it must be very fun!"

"How fun is this game that even newspapers have to apologize?"

……

No matter what the situation is, in this wave, Ltrip and "Stone Age" really have enough sense of presence.

Seizing the focus of this wave of public opinion, Lin Xiao decided to...

Strike while the iron is hot!

Immediately start a round of activities to attract more people to register and recharge point cards, which can also just divert the attention of "Stone Age" players from insulting "Huaxia Consumer News".
