The post about the match between RCD Espanyol and FC Barcelona had received almost five or six hundred comments in the past two days. Compared to his previous post, it was already a hit.
However, Pablo saw that the number of comments had soared to more than three thousand, and every post was about the same number.
Had it been reposted or reported by some major media outlet?
Pablo was overjoyed. He felt that his luck had really taken a turn for the better. It seemed that nothing could stop a person's luck! He was going to be famous!
He hurriedly clicked on the post and read it. His face turned gloomy the moment he read it, and his head buzzed.
The previous comments at the bottom of the post could no longer be seen — they had all been pushed to the bottom by the new comments. Almost all of the new comments had a Huaxia flag icon, and the content was almost the same. It was obvious that several versions of the post had been copied and pasted.
"Respect the facts of the news! Boycott unscrupulous reporters! "
"This reporter is a writer that FC Barcelona has been keeping. There's no limit to how low he can go when it comes to slandering RCD Espanyol! It's not the first time that Camp Nou has treated a visiting team like this. This is too shameless! "
"FC Barcelona's dog is just barking! Even the FC Barcelona officials are too embarrassed to come out and deny it. You're the only one barking here! "
…
In addition to the comments from the same version, there were also many netizens who replied with emoticons. Clearly, this was an organized Internet operation.
After reading a few comments, Pablo couldn't help but tremble slightly.
However, he wasn't completely angry. Although he was indeed quite angry at first, he felt that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing after he calmed down a little.
After all, the thousands of comments that appeared in the past few hours had objectively increased his popularity. Even though these comments were all scolding him, so what? He didn't feel any pain or itch. The netizens of Huaxia thousands of miles away could only scold him through the screen. There was nothing else they could do.
Pablo was in the news industry in the first place. He knew very well that this matter would soon be discovered by the official media and reported. This way, the popularity wouldn't just spread on social media.
God is helping me! Pablo said in his heart triumphantly.
Then, he pulled out his keyboard and immediately started writing a new post on Facebook.
"Today, I suffered the largest scale of cyber-violence in my career. I have enough evidence to prove that the people who insulted me on Facebook are all from Huaxia. Although I'm just stating the facts objectively, they might feel offended by their idol, so they gathered in groups to insult me in a very ungentlemanly way! We support freedom of speech, but we firmly oppose personal attacks! Once again, I declare that I am responsible for every statement I make. My statements are based on facts! This was also the most basic integrity of a journalist! Those who doubt me in Huaxia, please show me proof. As long as you can prove that the Espanyol team really encountered what Ruby said, I am willing to apologize for it! "
Pablo read his post and whistled in satisfaction. Then, he posted it.
A female colleague at the next desk looked at him and said with a smile, "Pablo, you seem to be in a good mood! Did something good happen? "
Pablo chuckled and said, "Daisy! If you're willing to have dinner with me, I'll be in an even better mood! "
Daisy giggled and said, "Please … I'll be in a very bad mood if that happens! So, forget it! "
Several reporters at the nearby workstations couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Pablo's expression froze. He touched his nose awkwardly and said with a shrug, "Alright then! I hope you'll accept my invitation next time! "
Although Pablo was very unhappy, he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor on the surface.
He secretly said in his heart, Daisy, you're only somewhat pretty in the office, but compared to those hot chicks outside, you're still far behind! When I become famous, I'll get any woman I want! Don't come to me when the time comes! Hmph!
…
After Xia Ruofei gave the task to Qin Yanan, he didn't pay any more attention to this matter. On the other hand, Qin Yanan's team in Huaxia had been monitoring public opinion on the Internet.
Originally, Qin Yanan wanted to arrange for some people to guide them. If necessary, according to Xia Ruofei's instructions, she would find some ghostwriters in the name of a public relations company to add fuel to the fire on the Internet.
However, she soon realized that there was no need for this at all. The netizens were so excited that there was no need to add fuel to the fire. Everyone had already taken action spontaneously.
Therefore, Qin Yanan turned her focus to overseas, including Pablo's Facebook, as well as the mainstream media and online forums in Spain. She arranged for people to monitor public opinion.
The netizens in Huaxia formed a group to attack Pablo. In a short time, there were tens of thousands of comments on Facebook. On average, there were more than three thousand comments under each post. This news was soon gathered on Qin Yanan's desk.
As she looked at the data compiled by the team members, she secretly sighed in her heart. Boss Xia's influence on Huaxia's Internet is really no less than that of A-list celebrities. As long as it's related to him, there's never a lack of popularity.
The expedition this time was mainly initiated by the Tieba, and the main force was the netizens of Xia Ruofei's Tieba. Of course, there were also the netizens of the Spanish Club's Tieba and Wu Lei's Tieba. However, the proportion of these netizens was not high, and many of them overlapped with the netizens of Xia Ruofei's Tieba.
Soon, the team member in charge of monitoring Pablo's Facebook reported that Pablo had posted a new post.
The screenshot of this post and the translated content were also sent to Qin Yanan.
Qin Yanan frowned slightly. After reading all the content carefully, she issued an order in the work group. "Post the content of this post to the Tieba, Weibo, and other major forums immediately!"
It wasn't that she didn't want to give more guidance, but she couldn't think of what kind of script to use for the time being. After all, Pablo was still so fearless because he couldn't produce any evidence. At that time, the official broadcast team was already dismantling the equipment. As for the surveillance footage, it must be noted that it was Camp Nou. Even if it was captured by the surveillance cameras, would they use it to slap their own faces?
Qin Yanan knew very well that Pablo could say whatever he wanted without concrete evidence. The Spanish Club's side would at most argue with him, and in the end, they would still fulfill his purpose of creating hype.
Qin Yanan speculated that Xia Ruofei didn't want Pablo to succeed. That was why he thought of borrowing the power of the Huaxia netizens.
She felt that the only thing that could be done right now was to suppress all the voices in support of Pablo with the crowd tactic of the Huaxia netizens and control the comments with the comments of the Huaxia netizens.
As for the script, the wisdom of the netizens was infinite. Instead of having a few people in the team work behind closed doors, it was better to adopt an open strategy and let the netizens decide for themselves.
The members of the team soon divided their work and published the latest post and the translated content on the major domestic platforms.
Qin Yanan calculated the time difference first. In fact, it was already midnight in Huaxia, and almost evening in Barcelona.
She concluded that Xia Ruofei probably didn't go to bed so early, so she picked up the phone on her desk and called Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei was having dinner in the hotel's restaurant at this moment.
Zhao Zhenghao took the fastest flight back home in the afternoon. He had gained a lot from his meeting with Xia Ruofei this time. He needed to go back as soon as possible to implement the consensus they reached after their discussion. In addition, he also needed to personally communicate with Lippi's old man on the national team and strive for Lippi's happy acceptance. He brought a lot of videos of Xia Ruofei playing football with him this time. He was still very confident with these solid materials. Although Lippi was a big-name manager, in the football desert of Huaxia, the sudden appearance of such an amazing player was definitely a key figure who could greatly alleviate the "cooking without rice" situation. Lippi would certainly put down his reservations for such a special talent.
Although Zhao Zhenghao had gone back, Zhou Leiyun was still in Spain, so he also made a special trip to accompany Xia Ruofei and the other two for dinner.
As long as Xia Ruofei was in Spain, Zhou Leiyun would take very good care of him every time. If he was in Barcelona, he would certainly try to be there every time to accompany Xia Ruofei for dinner, and he would also put himself in a very humble position.
Just as everyone was eating and chatting, Xia Ruofei received a call from Qin Yanan.
He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was the company's landline number, so he did not avoid everyone to answer the phone. He just greeted everyone and sat in his seat to answer the phone.
"Yanan!" Xia Ruofei said faintly, "What's the matter?"
Qin Yanan said respectfully, "Boss Xia, we have completed the task you asked us to do. We want to report the latest progress to you!"
"Go ahead," Xia Ruofei said.
Therefore, Qin Yanan reported to Xia Ruofei some of the things she had done after accepting the task, including the reactions of the netizens in Huaxia, and the situation of the netizens' expedition organized by the Tieba forum.
After Xia Ruofei heard Qin Yanan's report of the Facebook comment data, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Well done! Yanan, it's almost midnight in China now! You've worked hard! "
"It's what we should do!" Qin Yanan quickly said, "Boss Xia, there are some new developments now. First of all, we found that some media in Spain have noticed Pablo's Facebook situation, and some media have already begun to report on this matter. I will send the summary of the public opinion analysis to your email later. Another thing is that Pablo has posted another post, claiming that he was the victim of cyber-bullying. He scoffed at the Huaxia netizens' expedition and even clamored for everyone to show evidence. He said that if there was evidence, he would immediately apologize. That's the general content of the post. "
Xia Ruofei said with great interest, "Oh? This guy thinks he's picked up a treasure! This righteous post is most likely to hype up the public opinion even more! "
Qin Yanan said a little awkwardly, "In fact, the netizens in Huaxia did help him to hype things up, and the only thing everyone could do was to group up and condemn him, especially the post that deliberately belittled you and Wu Lei. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation when they read it. That post also had the most comments because everyone saw your and Wu Lei's performance, so it was the easiest to refute. As for the stadium lights being turned off and the water spraying incident, there is currently no evidence. This is also an important reason why Pablo is jumping around so happily now."
"Then let him jump around first!" Xia Ruofei said casually, "The more he jumps, the more painful it will be when he falls!"
"Understood!" Qin Yanan said, "I've already asked someone to take screenshots of the latest post and post it on the domestic forum. There are also some media manuscripts that are obviously biased toward Barça. We're also arranging for people to take screenshots and translate them. We'll gradually push them to the domestic Internet later."
"Very good!" Xia Ruofei said, "But everyone has worked hard today. I'll let everyone go back and rest first. We'll continue tomorrow!"
It took time for public opinion to ferment. From Xia Ruofei's point of view, it was still a little short, and the bad guys had not completely jumped out yet. Moreover, he still had irrefutable evidence in his hands, so naturally, he could sit back and watch.
"This … It's the peak period for surfing the Internet in Spain now. I think it's better to keep a close eye on it," Qin Yanan said. "We can adjust the schedule and wait until it's late at night in Spain before everyone goes to rest."
"There's no need for that!" Xia Ruofei said, "Just arrange for one or two people to take turns on duty. Everyone else can go to rest!"
"… Okay!" Qin Yanan said, "I'll do it right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yanan told everyone in the work group to finish the work at hand as soon as possible and then get off work and rest. She decided to keep an eye on things herself tonight and stayed in the office overnight.
In Spain, Xia Ruofei had just put his phone back in his pocket when Song Wei asked, "Ruofei, what's the situation?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Our netizens in Huaxia are still very supportive! The netizens in Tieba have already formed a team to fight! That Pablo's Facebook is full of comments from our netizens in Huaxia! "
Ling Qingxue said happily, "I knew it! Huaxia doesn't have anything else, but we have a lot of people! "
Zhou Leiyun, who was listening to the side, was confused. He could not help but ask, "Boss Xia, what's going on?"
Xia Ruofei asked with a smile, "Director Zhou, haven't you been paying attention to the situation on the Internet these two days? A Spanish reporter was eccentric on Facebook, hinting that Ruby was beside himself with joy and said that the waterspout incident was a complete lie. He also greatly belittled Wu Lei and me, saying that our skills were not good at all, that the goal was just luck, and that joining the RCD Espanyol team was a means of capital manipulation … "
"There's such a thing? I've heard reports from my subordinates that some media reports in the Catay region are not very objective and are more biased towards Barça. However, these media are very biased, and I'm used to it, "Zhou Leiyun said." I didn't expect there to be such comments! I'll get the club's press officer to deal with it right away! "
