Top of the big era

With the emergence of social networks, more and more people have the right to speak on the Internet, various big Vs and self-media emerge in endlessly, and opinion leaders appear one after another.

This is a good thing.

Everyone can be given the right to free expression, which has never happened in thousands of years of human civilization. However, there are always some bad guys who will take advantage of the times and infiltrate in every possible way.

For example, an organization A took the initiative to find a certain company, saying that the company may have a public relations crisis in the future, and they hoped to contract this public relations task, asking for a price of tens of millions or hundreds of millions. If the enterprise does not agree, there will be millions of big Vs such as BCDEF working hard on the Internet, unite to create a content matrix, and spread negative reports on a large scale.

Many companies have no choice but to "happily" pay a public relations fee to settle the matter.

At this time, A appeared again as a chivalrous man to save the company from fire and water. BCDEF and other self-media have shifted their direction, the hot spots of public opinion have declined, and the public relations crisis has also been eliminated.

It's 2008, and social networking is just emerging.

The model of DoN News Network, which uses hot public opinion to hype, attracts traffic and sells advertising fees, belongs to the earliest and most primitive tactic. Even the instigator, Liu Ren, had no experience in this matter, so he answered Ziweixing's call casually, and then actually asked for the public relations fee himself.

It's so simple.

Ziweixing finished the recording, handed in the money, and got all the evidence in his hands. It was a real extortion, and every one was caught.

The Olympic Games ended, and the number of foreigners in the capital suddenly decreased a lot.

Life began to normalize.

On August 29th, Meng Houkun and a few people waited for Liu Ren in a teahouse in Zhongguancun, and handed him a schoolbag with a smile.

Liu Ren nodded, opened his schoolbag and saw ten stacks of money lying quietly inside, which was exactly the 100,000 yuan he needed for public relations fees. He sighed and said helplessly: "Little brother, go back and tell your boss Zhou that I did not do this properly. I can't help it. The economic situation is so bad that the website is almost out of business. In the past two months, we have cut 40% of our workforce."

Meng Houkun's expression was indifferent, "Yes, I understand."

Liu Rendao: "After this period is over, I... I will come to the door personally to apologize to Mr. Zhou."

The corner of Meng Houkun's mouth curled up, a little sarcastically, "Do you think we will meet you in Zhou Zong?"

Liu Ren sighed, he is a good person, and the current situation is forcing him to do nothing about it. He was also very ashamed in his heart, lowered his head, took his schoolbag and planned to leave

But at the door of the box in the tea room, there were five or six guys with stern expressions, and they walked over without any explanation.

Liu Ren thought it was someone hired by Ziweixing, and was taken aback, "Who are you? What do you want to do? This is the capital! This is a society ruled by law!"

"Oh, you still know it's a society ruled by law?" One of the young people sneered, took out a document from his pocket, and shook it, "Did you see it?"

"Police...police..."

Liu Ren was stunned immediately, feeling that his whole body had been pulled out of his soul and became dull.

Next, as soon as the handcuffs were put on, they were directly held by him.

Meng Houkun came out with a flat face, and asked with a smile: "Captain Zhang, what is the nature of extorting 100,000 yuan?"

"There are all the witnesses and material evidence, at least it will take three to five years." The captain surnamed Zhang waved his hand.

Liu Ren didn't resist at all, put on the handcuffs in a proper manner, turned his head to look at Meng Houkun with a complicated expression, "What about it?"

Meng Houkun said in a deep voice, "You don't realize the seriousness of this matter at all!"

Liu Ren stared at him, hoping to get his explanation.

He has a good reputation in the industry and has a large number of readers. As long as there are people in this industry, almost no one has not read the scientific and technological articles written by him.

Meng Houkun sighed, "Mr. Liu, I have read a lot of your articles, and I like your sharpness and persistence. However, this matter has crossed the line. Don't blame us Mr. Zhou. We are right about things and not people."

Liu Ren shook his head again and again, as if he still didn't understand, "It's too much, it's too much."

"Passed?" Meng Houkun sneered, "I think you are still a little obsessed, we are Ziweixing! We have the largest social network in China in our hands. Xiaonei, Friends.com, Toutiao and Weibo are all mine! We The understanding of social networks is much deeper than yours!"

He was angry and disappointed.

He really didn't want to do anything to Liu Ren, a senior in the industry and a teacher. However, this incident is a sign that must be seriously killed.

Meng Houkun went on to say: "There are no secrets on the Internet. If you succeed this time, do you know what will happen in the future? More and more people will join in, create accounts with millions of fans, and carry out this kind of unrestrained Spread rumors and smear the bottom line, and then ask us for public relations fees. We don't care about this little public relations fee. However, our personal image of Mr. Zhou cannot be corrupted by you!"

Liu Ren was silent.

Meng Houkun asked: "Do you know why you were arrested?"

Liu Ren was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what he meant.

Meng Houkun said calmly: "Before coming, Mr. Zhou told me that I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. You were arrested because you were the one who did the work and you were the one who collected the money. You will be convicted of extortion. If You only do things, and even sternly refused our settlement fee. At that time, let the third-party public relations team come to Ziweixing to apply for outsourcing public relations. As long as there is no money exchange between us, you can be invincible Captain Zhang, am I right?"

Captain Zhang nodded, "Well, without substantial physical evidence and money exchanges, it cannot be identified as extortion, at most it is rumors and slander, and it is dealt with according to the Public Security Punishment Regulations. That is what the police station does. It's irrelevant."

Liu Ren is an honest person, and he has no choice but to do this kind of thing. He has no organization, no plan, no experience, no plan, how could he think of these things? He said blankly: "There are only two ways for people in the private media to survive. The first is to become the chief editor and earn manuscript fees. The second is to write public relations articles."

Captain Zhang couldn't stand listening to it anymore, and said angrily: "When you write public relations drafts, you can flatter whoever you like. Just for the sake of attracting attention and attracting fans, you go to smear black people for no reason? Just take a few photos at random, and dare to Make it up like that?"

Meng Houkun said coldly: "The woman in the photo is a relative of Mr. Zhou, or his elder. How much harm have you caused to people by spreading rumors like this? Mr. Liu, have you ever thought about it?"

Liu Ren was dumbfounded.

Meng Houkun took a deep breath, and said lightly: "Our Mr. Zhou is young and wealthy, and he is also a famous entrepreneur. There are too many people who are eyeing him. If you succeed this time, there may be more people jumping in the future." Come out. Groups can show very noble qualities, such as bravery, fearlessness, selflessness, and sacrifice, which are far more prominent than individuals. Similarly, groups can also commit crimes, which are far more heinous than individuals. Mr. Liu must understand that I am What to say. I still say the same thing, not the person. If you break the law, you will be punished."

...

Zhou Buqi was in the office, and after listening to Meng Houkun's reply, he nodded lightly, "I have a brief understanding of this Liu Ren, he is a capable person."

Meng Houkun said: "Well, he has a conscience. This time... I guess he didn't realize that he was committing a crime."

Ning Yaxian, who was pouring tea by the side, couldn't help feeling angry, and said coldly: "Spreading rumors about other people's private life, is this called having a conscience? The more people like this, the better. If they are all arrested, the Internet will be clean."

Zhou Buqi took it seriously, "That's right, this matter has to continue!"

"Ah?" Meng Houkun was taken aback. "I asked, and the police said that he extorted a huge amount, and he might be sentenced to 3-5 years in prison."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "That's not what I meant."

"Um?"

"A misfortune is a blessing. This time it seems to be a bad thing. If it works well, it might be a good thing. After all, it is a rumor. The owner of the beauty salon is my family's elders, so we can take action with peace of mind. If it is caught in the real hammer , that’s the trouble. Take precautions.”

"What real hammer can there be?"

Meng Houkun leaned forward, looking very curious.

Zhou Buqi glared, "I'm telling you something serious!"

Meng Houkun smiled and said, "I know what you mean, let this matter ferment. Let netizens across the country know that there is a website that spread rumors to discredit you and extorted 100,000 yuan. As a result, you were arrested and sentenced for several years. In this way, those eye-catching self-media will not dare to attack you, and will be intimidated."

Zhou Buqi nodded and said, "Well, that's what it means. However, Liu Ren alone is not enough."

Meng Houkun froze for a moment, and said in surprise: "One is not enough? Can't we arrest all the executives of that website? That would be too much. Now we occupy the commanding heights of law and morality, and our peers will support us. But we If we catch up and arrest some irrelevant executives, the reputation of the industry will be tainted."

Zhou Buqi said angrily, "Do you think I'm the same as you? I'm a good citizen who knows the law and abides by the law! You must never do anything that crosses the line!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Catch the dried shrimp."

"Um?"

"I watch Tianya, Maopu, Tieba, including Toutiao, Weibo, and Sina blogs, where my photos are being posted."

Meng Houkun understood now, and opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "You mean attacking ordinary people?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Ordinary people don't have a real-name system. Where can I check it? Look for those influential and well-known accounts. Those have detailed information. Those who want to receive income from the website should check one for sure. This matter, You must make it big for me! Kill this evil wind! I don’t care if it messes with others, but it’s not good for me!”
