Chapter 121 You have to make the decision for me
Liu Zhilin felt a little uneasy.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. The assistant's voice came from outside: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Chen from Lishan Technology is here."
Liu Zhilin quickly stood up and said, "Let him in!"
Liu Zhilin had many questions to ask Chen She.
Regarding the Mewtwo problem this time, Liu Zhilin thought of three solutions: the first was to find a network monitor to find the source of the problem and cut off the transmission path; the second was to let DCPD find the small workshop that developed Black Mewtwo.
However, neither of these two methods is necessarily successful. After all, many people now use film reviews to spread information widely. It is impossible to catch them all and cut off the channels of transmission, which is completely unhelpful in solving the situation.
And it is not necessarily possible to find the small workshop that developed this Black Mewtwo. After all, this small workshop has survived many previous crackdowns, which is enough to show that the producer of this Black Mewtwo has a strong sense of concealment.
What's more, the Black Mewtwo itself is a complex underground channel, and these Black Mewtwo dealers are very well-informed, and there may be many insiders in the DCPD. Catching some petty thieves, they are often the subordinates of the underground channel, and there is not much to know even if they are caught, and some people who really know the truth can't be caught at all.
So Liu Zhilin thought about it and felt that the current situation was really difficult to resolve, and the only ones he could focus on were Lishan Technology and Chen She.
Of course, Liu Zhilin was somewhat angry with Lishan Technology and Chen She for this incident.
The reason is very simple. The original Mewtwo was developed by Lishan Technology. Now that it has produced such a bad effect, Lishan Technology is certainly to blame.
The producer Chen She assured at the time that this Mewtwo was intended to promote the Silver Star construction plan, and Liu Zhilin also gave his utmost support, whether it was funding, publicity channels or internal information about Silver Star construction, but in the end it turned out to be a reverse publicity.
Could Liu Zhilin not put the blame on Chen She?
Therefore, Liu Zhilin planned to launch a campaign of treason first, so that Chen She would realize the seriousness of the problem and force Chen She to find a way to solve it.
However, before Liu Zhilin could open his mouth, Chen She said, "Boss Liu, you have to make the decision for me!"
Chen She's aggrieved expression made Liu Zhilin stunned. He originally wanted to go and question him, but many words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
Before he could figure out how to respond, Chen She said, "Boss Liu, the Black Super Dreams on the market are really too rampant!"
"Dark Mewtwo was very rampant before. I also proposed to rectify the situation of Dark Mewtwo in the parliament. DCPD sent so many manpower to eliminate Dark Mewtwo, but in the end, the number of Dark Mewtwo kept increasing!"
"The situation is getting worse and worse. Many people on the Internet say that Black Mewtwo is the perfect version of this Mewtwo, and our original Mewtwo is not worth mentioning at all. They also say that the creator of this Black Mewtwo is a real genius, and we are just an ordinary Mewtwo development company."
"Do you hear what people say?"
"We put a lot of effort into developing this Mewtwo, but those who made Black Mewtwo just changed a few ideas and immediately surpassed us in terms of reputation and revenue. Is this fair?"
"This is not the most serious problem. Although we have lost a lot of profits and reputation, our loss is not the biggest."
"The most serious problem is that this black Super Dream is a blatant provocation! It is a serious provocation to the Dawn City Council, to you, and to the DCPD!"
"The creator of this Black Mewtwo is completely against the will of the law. I think this kind of situation must be severely punished!"
"The point is that he completely misinterpreted my ideas."
"I originally wanted to use this Mewtwo to arouse everyone's support for the Silver Star Construction Plan, but he made a shameful modification and implanted a lot of negative emotions in Black Mewtwo. In addition, people with ulterior motives interpreted it, and the Mewtwo that I worked so hard to develop was completely distorted."
"As the creator of Mewtwo, every Mewtwo is my child. Seeing my children being misinterpreted and misunderstood by people with ulterior motives, I feel heartbroken, Mr. Liu!"
Chen She's words were sincere and heartfelt, and his sorrow was evident in his words.
Liu Zhilin originally wanted to blame him for the current situation, but Chen She's remarks left Liu Zhilin speechless.
Yes, with the current situation, Lishan Technology is the biggest victim.
There is no big problem that the original Mewtwo developed by Chen She is indeed the Mewtwo that promotes and praises the Silver Star Construction Plan. After all, Liu Zhilin himself has played it and felt the uplifting spirit and the joy brought by the construction process.
This was also proven by the brainless negative reviews and abuses from many people on the Internet. This was equivalent to Chen She using this Chaomeng to offer his loyalty, firmly tying the reputation of Lishan Technology, the Silver Star Construction Plan, and these large financial groups together.
In this situation, the biggest beneficiaries are those guys in Truth Broadcasting who spread bad ideas, and the Black Meow Workshop who use Black Meow to make money and for other ulterior purposes.
At this time, Chen She was undoubtedly on Liu Zhilin's side. Both of them were victims, and it was meaningless to attack each other and put the blame on each other. It would only aggravate internal conflicts and would not help solve the problem.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhilin had no choice but to say, "Mr. Chen, please be patient. I asked you to come here to study a solution."
"We are all victims this time, and we all suffered losses. Don't worry, we will find a way to find those villains hiding in the dark. Those who go against us will never have a good ending!"
"But these people are very cunning after all, and Internet monitoring may not be able to find them. The most urgent task now is to discuss short-term countermeasures and how to eliminate the impact."
"I think we can consider suspending all promotions for this Mewtwo and temporarily banning everyone on the Internet from discussing this topic. This will prevent the situation from getting worse. What do you think?"
Chen She shook his head, "I don't think it's appropriate."
Liu Zhilin was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
Chen She explained earnestly, "Boss Liu, this Mewtwo has a minor problem now, but it's not fatal. But if we suspend all publicity for this Mewtwo and forbid everyone from discussing this topic, it will not only fail to prevent the situation from getting worse, but will turn a small problem into a big one, so don't do that!"
Liu Zhilin was even more confused, "What does this mean?"
Chen She continued, "Boss Liu, think about it, if we suspend all promotions for this Mewtwo and forbid everyone from discussing this topic, wouldn't that be like admitting guilt?"
"Is the Silver Star Construction Plan a good plan? Of course it is. Because Silver Star is everyone's dream place. It is the new home that all humans on the Old Land and Silver Star are concentrating their efforts to build for the next hundred years. It is a great honor for everyone to be able to participate in the Silver Star Construction Plan."
"If we don't dare to promote this good thing on a large scale just because of the slander of a few despicable people, wouldn't that be falling into their trap?"
"Although we can block people's discussion channels on the Internet, in private, on other channels that cannot be monitored, people will discuss more and more fiercely. And this letter is equivalent to confirming the speculation of the group of clowns on Truth Broadcasting."
"It is equivalent to admitting that the Silver Star construction plan is not for the benefit of all mankind, but is only for the purpose of plundering resources from the old land for the enjoyment of a few powerful people on Silver Star."
"How can this be possible? We must not be careless when it comes to matters of principle!"
"And we are not just facing ordinary netizens. Other big financial groups and even higher-level bigwigs are also watching us . If we overreact or show an overly compromising attitude at this time, it will affect the image of the entire Silver Star Construction Project."
"When the time comes, we won't be able to bear this responsibility."
Chen She's words confused Liu Zhilin.
A confused look appeared on his face, and then he fell into deep thought.
Chen She raised a very critical issue, that is, even if the discussion of these contents is completely banned on the Internet, it will not help, but will cause even worse effects.
At that time, it would be equivalent to the official recognition of the Silver Star construction plan, just as the Truth Broadcasting said. All the previous ones were false propaganda, and the real purpose was to plunder the resources of the old land and build a safe paradise on Silver Star for the powerful.
It's like confessing one's own guilt.
Although there are still many people who doubt it now, there is still a big difference between doubt and official certification.
Liu Zhilin thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen, do you mean that we can't overturn the table, but should continue to fight for this public opinion position?"
Chen She nodded, "That's right."
"I have to say, the other party is too cunning. In this passive situation, we can only choose a plan with relatively small losses."
"What's important is not what netizens are discussing, but what people above see."
Liu Zhilin felt that his thoughts were being led by Chen She bit by bit, and suddenly he felt that what Chen She said made sense.
The bottom line is that the people at Truth Broadcasting were too cunning. They deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of Mewtwo and spread these misleading views on a large scale through game reviews and film reviews.
Although it is not difficult to ban online discussions of related topics, it is somewhat troublesome to do so. And it will definitely cause a lot of noise. After all, if such a hot topic disappears overnight, even a fool will know what happened.
In this way, not only will similar discussions intensify in private, but it is also actually a form of covering up the truth.
For Liu Zhilin, how ordinary netizens and grassroots people discuss is not actually the most critical issue.
The most crucial issue is how the bigwigs of the Silver Star Federation, other parliamentarians and those big financial groups will view this matter.
Ordinary people's discussion can only create temporary heat at most, and will not have any fundamental impact on Liu Zhilin. However, if the bigwigs of the Silver Star Federation have a bad impression of Liu Zhilin because of this, then Liu Zhilin's future will become quite bleak.
From the perspective of those bigwigs, Liu Zhilin himself had made some contributions by promoting the Silver Star construction plan through this Super Dream. The sudden appearance of Truth Broadcasting disrupted the plan, which was an accident.
But if Liu Zhilin suddenly overreacted and removed all publicity about this Mewtwo and banned related discussions, then on the one hand he would be denying his own contribution to the creation of this Mewtwo, and on the other hand his overreaction would aggravate the negative impact and leave an impression of incompetence.
On the other hand, if Liu Zhilin can continue to promote this Super Dream openly and at the same time use certain methods to seize the public opinion front, then at least on the surface it will be more acceptable.
In other words, in order to avoid further negative impact, Liu Zhilin can only continue to promote this Super Dream, and cannot make a 180-degree turn and deny everything he has done in the past.
Liu Zhilin was in a dilemma. After thinking for a moment, he said, "What you said makes sense. I'll think about it again. I'll keep the promotion of Mewtwo unchanged for now."
