"Tuvalu, the country founded by Mutants, has developed their own drugs to eliminate mutant genes?!" James, the editor-in-chief of The Daily Bugle, looked at the news incredulously.
Since the last time he colluded with an unscrupulous lawyer to frame Spider-man to create a topic, so that his plan to run for mayor of New York to create a topic failed. The old guy was a lot quieter.
Because he was scolded by a group of people on the Internet. Naturally, there was no hope for the New York City mayoral campaign. Because of the short film "I'm for everyone, everyone for me" made by Li Jie and after he and Frank privately found the unscrupulous lawyer named Lucas to have a good "chat", the other party had to say all kinds of things.
This made the credibility of James and The Daily Bugle fall to the bottom. The Daily Bugle was almost made to go out of business. But James has been through so many ups and downs for so many years, and he still has some level.
After a series of events such as various compromises and public apologies to Spider-man, The Daily Bugle survived.
It's just that The Daily Bugle has been a lot more restrained. James suffered a huge blow when he failed to run for mayor. Especially when more vigilante groups began to appear in New York City, he didn't want to be hated himself.
After all, he is old, and now that he has no chance of being mayor of New York, he wants to retire quietly after his last few years of editor-in-chief career.
So it's incredible that The Daily Bugle, which has been using Superheroes to stir up topics, has suddenly become more fair and objective. Well, maybe it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's fair and objective, but at least James won't let his editors go to Superheroes like Spider-man at will.
But after the last incident, The Daily Bugle's sales began to slump. They need to find some new and explosive news to boost their sales.
And there has been a lot of big news in the press recently. Whether it's the returning Ark spaceship, the destruction of Hydra before, or the establishment of the Country of Mutants in Tuvalu.
These news are worth following up on. And now Tuvalu, which James has been following, has new news. But the news that came back made James a little incredulous.
"The Mutants' country has made its own drugs to destroy Mutants. Are they destroying the Great Wall? " James felt that if the news was true, then the female president of Tuvalu must be out of her mind.
The news media always had their own sources, and sometimes the accuracy of their sources was no less than that of the FBI or CIA.
"Do we need to make a news report about this?" James's editor carefully asked his eccentric boss.
James made a decision after confirming the authenticity of the news. "If this news is true, then it is indeed big news. He deserves to be on the front page! "
"Then, do we need to control the public opinion of this news?" the editor asked.
Because the media was a mouthpiece, they could easily change the original nature of a piece of news by adding some misleading words and tone of voice.
Inverting black and white wasn't something that could be said casually. It really existed.
"No, there's no need." James said without thinking, "We just need to report this matter truthfully. We don't need to add fuel to the fire. The current policy towards Tuvalu is still unclear. Before the political direction is established, we should not make any statements. Don't forget, this is the presidential election year. "
James rapped on the table to get to the point. For the media around the world, there was an unspoken rule. That was, the news must conform to the country's concept of political correctness. Otherwise, just wait to be caught by the pigtails to kill you.
It was just that each country had different standards for political correctness. Some things could be done in country A, but not in country B. Sometimes, it was the other way around.
This year was the election year. The elected president would most likely lead the UA for the next decade. James originally wanted to run for the mayor of New York, but because he failed, his relationship with the political bosses was somewhat estranged.
James knew that some of the bosses who supported him at the time hated the mutated people. However, when he was in the most difficult time, these bosses didn't reach out to help him. Then, he didn't need to be anyone's vanguard. Start a public opinion war and then pick a side?
Forget it. James wasn't in the mood now.
Therefore, the influential newspaper group on the East Coast of the UA published a piece of news on the front page the next day that shocked the UA. "Saving the mutated people or destroying the great wall? Tuvalu's choice! "
The news detailed Tuvalu's new decision. There were mutated people who went to Tuvalu, and the Tuvalu officials responsible for receiving these mutants actually let these mutants make a choice.
"Continue to live in Tuvalu as a mutant, or use the potion to become an ordinary person and return to a normal life?" This was the news brought back by some mutants who had returned from Tuvalu (mutants who chose to return to a normal life).
Tuvalu developed this potion and gave mutants a choice. People who were still willing to be mutants and committed to contributing to the construction of Tuvalu were naturally welcome in Tuvalu.
And people who wanted to go back from mutants to normal people were naturally welcome in Tuvalu.
The Daily Bugle's news came from a former mutant. His previous ability was to grow a pair of gills that allowed him to breathe underwater. This made his life very distressing. He was going to Tuvalu to take refuge.
But when he learned that he could choose a different life, he did not hesitate to choose to return to a normal life. And he used the news in exchange for a news fee (paid by the Daily Bugle).
In fact, this is the effect that the Illume-union's bosses want. Someone will leak it out, not publicize it. Pretending to let others find out a secret is faster and more credible than telling others something solemnly.
Rumors would always spread faster than the truth, and they sounded more convincing. For example, there is a rumor in a certain Asian country that the super-high-speed railway has radiation, and it radiates to all of Asia, and it is also said that this is officially recognized. Because the official title is "The Super-High-Speed Railway Will Radiate to Europe and Asia". Maybe this is a free question?
On the farm of Bruce Banner and Betty Ross in Arizona, Dr. Banner asked Li Jie with some confusion: "What is the purpose of doing this? Why don't we just release this medicine publicly? Even if we don't use the follow-up products of Rebirth X Serum, just to help people who are now troubled by the side effects of mutant genes, I think we should manufacture and distribute this medicine on a large scale, instead of just providing it to those mutants who go to Tuvalu and let them make a choice. "
"Although those mutants who get the medicine to relieve their pain will be grateful to Tuvalu, more people may lose this opportunity." Dr. Banner is very good at research and has a high IQ. But he is not a person who is good at scheming. If Captain Rogers, who is already very familiar with Li Jie, was here, he probably wouldn't ask Li Jie why he used this method.
Because with Captain Rogers's political mind and understanding of Li Jie, although he can't 100% guess what Li Jie is thinking. But he can also guess 80% to 90%.
In response to Dr. Banner's question, Li Jie smiled: "The reason is very simple, the Illuminati doesn't have that much money!"
Li Jie is very honest. Although Dawn Technology is a money-grabbing company, the Illuminati's expenses are too high. It is simply a bottomless pit. In order to ensure the healthy operation of Dawn Technology, Dawn Technology has a large amount of money that cannot be touched. Otherwise, it would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
The main funds of the Illuminati come from the profit dividends of Dawn Technology that belong to Tony. This part is limited, and most of it is invested in the construction of the Venus base.
The Novice X Project is a very large project. Dr. Hank only produced 200 potions in the first batch because this potion is too expensive. This kind of expensive is mainly reflected in the inability to mass-produce it, because according to Dr. Hank's estimation, in order to ensure mass production, then a high-precision production line is needed. The cost of this production line is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, and this is only the first phase of the project. If the entire product line forms a scale, especially the scale of the entire Novice X Project envisioned by Li Jie, then the investment will be astronomical.
Of course, once this potion is on the market, the profits that can be earned will also be astronomical. But the initial investment is too large. And for confidentiality and security reasons, large-scale financing like banks can't be carried out.
Tony had a lot of money, but every sum of money had a purpose and a purpose. Especially after Pei Bo became his wife, she took charge of the financial power.
"So we need to get a lot of money to do this. It is best to get a low-interest or even interest-free loan. And we have to ensure that this potion will not be boycotted when it is finally released. It can smoothly pass the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration of various countries. And we need to be prepared to deal with all this at this time. "
Dr. Banner couldn't keep up with Li Jie's thoughts. He asked a little puzzled, "What does all this have to do with what you want to do?"
Li Jie shrugged, "Let's lay out the plan in advance. First of all, it is public opinion, not us. It should be others who force us to say it. Some things aren't necessarily good just because you have the initiative. It's better to leave some hot potatoes to others to choose. "
"Aren't there radicals in many NATO countries, including the United States, who are clamoring to completely eliminate Mutants? Now that the opportunity is here, should they contribute money and effort? For example, provide some funds, and then vigorously promote our potion, and even push this potion into the basic vaccine injection sequence? Call it a genetic defect syndrome vaccine or something, and then the country will pay for it to be injected into all Mutants? Of course, in order to achieve this step, we still have to do a lot of things, but we need to pave the way for the first step. "Li Jie said these things with a smile.
But Dr. Banner felt that many people behind this smile were going to be unlucky. Was this the legendary borrowing force to fight back? Borrowing the chicken to lay the eggs? Helping the person to earn money after being sold?
