Rebirth of the Tech Madman
Chapter 334: At the center of a storm of public opinion
The hostility of the "San Francisco Observer" to Fang's newspaper industry is not only due to peer competition, but also due to the background of its owner, the Hearst Group. ,
You know, the founder of this media giant is the American newspaper magnate-William Randolph Hirst. The yellow news wave he set off at the beginning of the 20th century had a profound influence on the news media later.
Therefore, this controversial figure is known as the "Hitler" and "Yellow News King" of the press.
The classic movie ""-"Citizen Kane" in the history of Hollywood movies was adapted and filmed based on his life.
While William Hirst has achieved unprecedented success in the newspaper industry, he also actively seeks political capital, but has failed. However, the "yellow peril" he once preached, has slandered Chinese immigrants from time to time as a poison. .
William Hirst’s success in the media career began with the San Francisco Observer, and naturally, some ideological prejudices are always looming.
According to the Observer, the vigorous development of Fang’s newspaper industry in the past two years has relied on Tang Huan’s support.
With Tang Huan's growing influence in the San Francisco Bay Area, he has become the core of local Chinese.
For example, industry associations such as Chinese food and Chinese medicine were originally spontaneous and scattered organizations, but after holding various honorary titles, they began to unite and grow, and tried to make a sound by actively participating in political activities. To safeguard their own interests.
Seeing a group that has always been weak. Start to change your luck. The Observer was uncomfortable like a scratching heart.
In particular, the recent Fangyuan Computer Standards Alliance Conference attracted nearly a hundred business leaders. San Francisco’s airport set up a special channel for this purpose, and the media colleagues and official institutions also unavoidably pursued it.
Tang Huan cannot be avoided in order to attack Fang's newspaper industry, and this is exactly what the Observer newspaper is eager to do.
Prior to this, "The Observer" had hacked Tang Huan several times. But helplessly, the aura of the opponent was too dazzling at that time, and their tricks were directly immune to them.
But now, the situation is different. The Observer thinks it has found an excellent breakthrough.
Recently, the Shennong Foundation determined that it did not meet the requirements when dealing with the funding quota for college students and gave the opportunity to another Chinese. This student was dissatisfied and began to appeal.
More importantly, the current environment is conducive to hype the news.
Due to the rebound caused by the various economic policies introduced by Reagan, the employment situation of young people is becoming less optimistic. This has always been the case in the United States, a country of immigrants, when the economic environment is good. Ethnic conflicts are concealed by singing and dancing, and intensified or even erupted when bad.
As a pornographic news expert who is well versed in sensational reporting, "The Observer" went up to declare war on Tang Huan without warning.
The first poisoned arrow they shot was, of course, aimed at the Shennong Foundation, which changed the education funding target. They believed that this institution established by accidental gains had in fact become a tool for Tang Huangu’s reputation, and even hidden other things in its operation. The purpose of the informant, such as supporting the Chinese power, tax evasion and money laundering, etc.
Next, the "Observer" began to personally attack Tang Huan, questioning his integrity records, such as the authenticity of his personal information when he first entered the United States that year.
This topic is a commonplace talk. The Observer went to find members of the Tang family to dig for inside information. However, compared with the previous evasive words of the other party, I had occasional gains. This time, the other party is completely unified and has nothing. Got it.
But it doesn't matter. The Observer directly quoted materials from old reports.
In addition, they inadvertently discovered that Tang Huan's public information had an additional master's title, and after inquiring about it, they roughly understood what happened.
Tang Huan graduated according to the normal time, joking, under such conditions, it is so easy for a person to take care of work and school at the same time.
However, if the instructor is of Chinese descent, it can be fully explained.
In this way, there is one more attack on Tang Huan's integrity—falsification of academic qualifications.
As soon as the report elaborated by The Observer was published, it immediately caused an uproar in the San Francisco Bay Area and even California, and its dying sales immediately soared.
Seeing such enthusiastic response from the market, the happy "Observer" immediately followed up and continued to explore Tang Huan's dark news.
Because the "Observer" has unscrupulously pointed out that Fang's newspaper business was bought by Tang Huan and had nothing to do except flatter the master, so Fang's newspaper business began to fight back, and the drama of the war of words began to take place.
Tang Huan, who has always attached great importance to intelligence collection, of course immediately knew about the public opinion attack launched by The Observer, but he didn't pay much attention to it at first.
In the United States, talking about freedom is almost an instinctive cognition that is deeply rooted in people’s bones. The existence of multiple opinions is normal, just like the owner of The Observer, William Hirst, whether he is alive or dead. Later, the reputations were mixed, and Tang Huan certainly didn't think he could be an exception.
Besides, this kind of talk, in addition to selling a few more newspapers on the eyeball, can have any effect on yourself without any pain or itching.
What's more, the coverage of The Observer is mainly in the San Francisco Bay Area, and this site has long been Tang Huan's sphere of influence.
However, Tang Huan can be treated indifferently, but it doesn't mean that others can do the same, and he doesn't know who it is. He smashed all the glass in the office of The Observer at night.
For this small revenge, "The Observer" not only did not furious, but was ecstatic. This is simply the big news to the door, it is too timely.
For the Hearst Group, San Francisco has a special significance to it. It was here that William Hearst laid a solid foundation for success, and then established a media empire in the United States. It is not an exaggeration to say that San Francisco is the land of Longxing. Up.
therefore. The Observer received full support from the Hearst Group. It attacked Tang Huan's report. It has been reprinted by other newspapers affiliated to the group.
People in important cities such as New York, Chicago, Alexandria, Los Angeles, etc. began to enthusiastically discuss Tang Huan, an upstart who is in the limelight.
Tang Huan, who realized that the situation had spread so quickly and so widely, that he was about to set off to the mainland, faintly felt wrong. If he left San Francisco now, wouldn't it be true that the other party had more room to talk about.
More importantly, the "Observer" attack began to be lethal. Tang Huan has not been sure to accurately assess the extent to which his public image will be damaged after the situation expands to the entire United States.
Tang Huan, who had postponed his schedule, was still thinking about how to deal with it. His public relations consultant and Silicon Valley marketing guru Regis McKenna couldn't sit still.
As a shareholder of Philosopher, Regis McKenna has too many reasons to serve Tang Huan in public relations.
Moreover, Tang Huan is his most famous supreme client, which has a very special meaning when his company is talking about business. Often, once this sign is hit, it will get half the result with half the effort.
After seeing Tang Huan. Regis McKenna noticed that the other person's expression was still calm and calm, and immediately reminded him without worry, "Tang, have you noticed that many newspapers have reported on you recently?"
"Of course." Tang Huan nodded calmly, "Everything I do can withstand the test. What can I do with those clamors!"
"Of course I believe this." Regis McKenna sighed. "However, based on the intuition cultivated through long-term experience in the industry, I can smell conspiracy."
"I don't care whether it is conspiracy or not, but I have felt the deep malice." Tang Huan frowned, "I think that I am kind to others, and I don't offend anyone. Perhaps, as my wealth status rises, it touches me. The sensitive nerves of certain racists. After all, my yellow-skinned and dark-eyed minority has been a target of discrimination and suppression for a long time."
"I have a similar feeling." Regis McKenna pondered. "Anyway, racial equality is an absolute political correctness. We can start fighting back from this point to prevent this public opinion storm from affecting business. Ea, especially ea is now a publicly listed company."
"Don't worry too much about this. The growth rate of ea this year is still amazing." Tang Huan waved his hand, "However, I can't continue to be silent. The tiger will not show off his power and treat it as a sick cat."
Seeing Tang Huan's good faith, Regis McKenna settled down and began to give his own suggestions.
Before they have finalized the plan, the development of the situation has taken a big step towards deterioration.
The next day, the "Washington Post" suddenly joined the battle group. It published an article titled "The World of Video Game Consoles", about a middle school student who was addicted to video games, delayed his studies and missed important opportunities in life. Experience, even pointed out that the victim was playing the ea's Xiaobawang game console, which immediately attracted an extremely wide range of heated discussions.
In fact, in addition to all kinds of flattering touting the video game industry of Rijin Doujin, the media also has criticisms of its side effects. Tang Huan even specifically asked ea to add "moderate game benefits to all its packaging." , "Indulge in games hurts one's body" well-intentioned warning.
But these objections are often just superficial, and soon disappeared, and there is no way to make waves.
However, this time the "Washington Post" newspaper has formed a certain climate.
One of the reasons is that by exposing the Watergate incident, the Washington Post has accumulated considerable credibility.
The second reason is that the reporter of this report, Janet Cook, is the winner of this year's Pulitzer Prize, which can be described as a halo bonus.
The Pulitzer Prize was established in 1917 in accordance with the wishes of the American newspaper giant Joseph Pulitzer.
Journalism and history have a historical view, that is, without the fanfare of pornographic news, the war between the United States and Spain in 1898 would not have been fought at all.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, pornographic news that relies on rendering scandals, crimes, and **** to gain readers’ attention to increase market sales has reached a climax since 1898, and the two parties in the fight were the famous newspaper tycoon William Hess. Special and Joseph Pulitzer.
It wasn't until 1901 that Joseph Pulitzer felt tired of this competition, so he canceled the most criticized pornographic part in the "New York World", and the trend of pornographic news gradually declined.
Before his death, Joseph Pulitzer launched a fundraising campaign for the Statue of Liberty, and made a great contribution to its successful completion; later through his will, he donated the Columbia University School of Journalism and established the Pulitzer Prize, so its positive Prestige is not comparable to William Hirst.
Naturally, the Pulitzer Prize is highly valued by the industry and has now developed into one of the highest honors in the American press.
Janet Cook, who just won this year's Pulitzer Prize, is herself the darling of the media.
Her award-winning work was a special manuscript published on September 28, 1980-"Jimmy's World", about an 8-year-old black child named Jimmy who caused himself to use drugs because his mother and boyfriend took drugs. Poisonous story.
The critique of the video game industry initiated by her in a similar reporting style is still quite effective. One of the manifestations is that the stock price of ea, who was named by name, has risen steadily, but suddenly fell slightly.
Unexpectedly, Regis McKenna, who would kill Cheng Yaojin halfway, started to sweat in the face of the "Washington Post" that suddenly jumped out.
"Interesting, it seems that I encountered the ceiling in the legend." Tang Huan laughed heartlessly.
"With the addition of the "Washington Post" variable~www.readwn.com~ our response plan must be adjusted accordingly." Regis McKenna sighed depressed.
"Wait, maybe there will be a new show tomorrow, otherwise the ceiling is not thick and hard enough to really teach me a daredevil who quickly enters the upper circle." Tang Huan ridiculed himself while staring at the newspaper. Get the name of Janet Cook.
Otherwise, as expected by Tang Huan, the report on the first day of the "Washington Post" can be regarded as an emotional card, but the next day, it conducted a rational report from a professional perspective.
The Washington Post comprehensively analyzed ea’s debt situation, believing that Tang Huan used it as a cash machine, and carried out unrestrained acquisitions everywhere, and even some businesses were completely irrelevant, which led to the company’s operations. Big risk.
Tang Huan observed patiently and found that ea's stock price continued to fall.
The "Washington Post" did not stop there. In its next report, Tang Huan squirted out the tea in his mouth. (To be continued...) u
