Chapter 158 "The Congressman Also Has His Own Son" (8)
The reversal of public opinion made the old consortium overjoyed, because this was the first time they had won a comeback in the war of public opinion.
What's more, this victory can't be said to be confusing, it can only be said to be unbelievable.
The bigwigs of the old consortium couldn't figure out why such a seemingly simple Mewtwo could easily arouse players' sympathy for the old consortium? And even make the marketing methods that the new consortium spent so much money on all the discounts?
While they were puzzled, they also paid more attention to Lishan Technology.
After all, Lishan Technology plays an irreplaceable role for them now.
Since Lishan Technology's Super Dream has played a role, these old financial groups must of course give corresponding returns.
In addition to the various publicity and recommendation resources that they had promised before, these old consortiums also provided help to Lishan Technology to the best of their ability, both openly and secretly.
For example, some manufacturing industries have relatively backward production lines, OEM orders, design drawings, raw materials, etc.
Moreover, different old consortiums even vaguely had the idea of bypassing each other and establishing a connection with Lishan Technology.
Strictly speaking, these benefits are not particularly good, after all, no consortium would be foolish enough to hand over its most valuable assets, but they are still relatively sincere and useful to Lishan Technology.
The reason why these consortiums are so attentive is mainly because they have deeply realized the huge role of Lishan Technology through this public opinion war.
What if it could be useful in the future?
Even if you don't need it, try not to make enemies. If Lishan Technology turns against you and stands on the opposite side, it will be really difficult to deal with.
Of course, Chen She was not polite at all about the goodwill shown by these old-school financial groups and accepted them all.
On the one hand, it's because his character is originally that of a stupid boss with no ambitions and who knows nothing about his own Mewtwo, so he shouldn't have too many thoughts; on the other hand, it's because these benefits should not be missed.
In the future, we will always fall out with these old financial groups for various reasons. What’s the point of making them owe us favors?
It would be more practical to just take the ready-made benefits.
These rewards were nothing special to Chen She, the creator. After all, these production lines were not the most advanced, and could not be compared with the technology created by Chen She himself. But they were still a batch of materials, and there would always be a place where they could be used.
As the war of public opinion between the new and old financial groups was in full swing, the war in the western continent was intensifying.
In the beginning, the old-school consortium corporate army represented by the Wilford Heavy Industries Group, with the cooperation of the resistance army, defeated the new-school consortium led by the Black Umbrella Group, but soon the battle between the two sides began to stalemate.
As the war intensified, the Black Umbrella Group began to lose its pretense, and all kinds of bizarre events began to occur on the battlefield.
Weird space-time fluctuations began to appear, and large-scale space-time creatures wreaked havoc, causing heavy losses to the old-school consortium and the resistance.
The old-school consortium began to angrily accuse the Black Umbrella Group of secretly raising an army of space-time creatures, and even claimed that they had conducted many evil experiments that were against human nature in the Western Continent, but the Black Umbrella Group flatly denied this.
The Black Umbrella Group stated that these were all slanders launched by the old-school consortium because their attack was thwarted.
As for the evidence presented by the Wilford Heavy Industries Group , the Black Umbrella Group stated that the Western Continent is a continent with frequent space-time activities, and the recent space-time activities have been abnormal for a long time. The sudden appearance of a large-scale group of space-time beasts is a very normal thing, so the other party does not need to make a big fuss about it.
Then, the rebels realized that something was wrong.
Because the progress of the old-school consortium corporate army headed by the Wilford Heavy Industries Group seemed to be slowing down, while the casualties on the rebel side remained high.
The voices of division within the resistance are becoming louder and louder, and the resistance leaders are arguing endlessly.
Some people demanded to sever cooperation because the old-school consortium was obviously using them as cannon fodder, but others disagreed because the resistance army still needed to obtain material supplies and weapons and equipment from the old-school consortium. Moreover, withdrawing at this time would mean becoming a thorn in the eyes of both the old and new consortiums. With the current strength of the resistance army, it is likely that they will not be able to hold on for long.
Although Chen She was not clear about the specific details of the internal affairs of the rebels, he was able to guess the general situation through Gao Jingwu's analysis.
But he doesn't want to get involved now.
Because he knew that the current resistance army would not obey him, nor would they expose themselves, because he didn't know if there were any traitors among them. Things would only turn around when the resistance army hit the wall hard and realized that the consortium was the same.
At this time, Chen She was patiently running the arms business in the Western Continent.
He controlled the shadow and quickly found the most suitable customer for this batch of arms: the wanderers of the Western Continent.
The wanderers here are very different from those in the northern continent.
The wanderers in the northern continent are more like scavengers. They travel across the vast snowfields to collect space-time particles and basically maintain good cooperative relations with the surrounding consortiums.
After all, both sides get what they need.
But the situation in the Western Continent is different. The wanderers here are like bandits who rule the mountains. They often rob caravans of small consortiums or passers-by, and sometimes they fight each other fiercely.
Because the original space-time activities in the Western Continent were relatively regular, the big consortiums preferred to collect space-time particles on their own and had no intention of cooperating with these wanderers. In an environment where the rebels and the consortiums were mixed together, these wanderers had long been accustomed to the adventurous life of living and dying every day , and the homeless orphans in the Western Continent continued to replenish their numbers.
For Chen She, this was simply the perfect client.
There is only one drawback: they have no money.
Because the consortium has no shortage of equipment of this level, and the rebels... have no shortage of it at the moment, not to mention that the rebels now have their own goals, and the number of issues is too large to be influenced.
Chen She visited many tribes of wanderers, but it was difficult to tell which one was more worthy of cultivation.
Although he can use the special power of the Curse Scholar to see the connection between each other, that is a prerequisite and he can only see it after the relationship is relatively close.
It doesn’t matter, you can raise Gu.
Chen She decided to sell these weapons on credit to these wandering tribes and asked them to repay them within a certain period of time.
If they still haven't earned enough money by the time the deadline comes, it means they lack the ability; if they earn money but don't pay it back, it means they have poor character.
Select the wandering settlements that are relatively capable and have good character, continue to give them better weapons, and let them attack those settlements that took the weapons and did not return them, and make them spit out the money they put in with interest.
Once the leaders of these settlements gradually established a strong enough connection with Chen She, Chen She could roughly determine whether these people were trustworthy.
Of course, Chen She also considered what to do if all the wanderers had no luck. Although the probability of this happening was not too high, it was definitely not zero.
If that situation really happens, then the arms sales plan in the Western Continent will have to be suspended and completed using the methods of the Knights of Time and Space.
In that case, it wouldn't be a loss.
