Just like when I was at home normally, I would often hear the neighborhood committee auntie downstairs say this: Would what's written in the newspaper be fake!?
A company's reputation was way too important to the future development of the company! If the company's brand falls, no matter how good or advanced the things it produces, no one will use it.
"Uncle Zhao …" I said faintly. "I finished reading it!"
"What do you think about this?" Uncle Zhao didn't hang up the phone, and waited for me to finish reading the newspaper.
"As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. People are scared of being famous, while pigs are scared of being fat, when a company becomes big, there will always be people who get jealous, and can't compete with us on the surface, so they secretly find some people to write a few 'fake insider' articles that hurt Shuguang and release them. Our company isn't the first. Whether Shuguang Input Method is original or plagiarized from Microsoft, we both know very well, "I said. When I sat in the position of Microsoft's CEO in my previous life, I saw a lot of reports that slandered Microsoft, but I didn't care at all. That's because Microsoft already became big, and monopolized the industry. Although the current Shuguang was huge, had plenty of funds, and advanced technology. However, it was still a company that was set up less than half a year ago, and couldn't withstand this sort of storm.
"That's right, I understand this as well. I already got the media friends that are related to us to help investigate, and see who's doing this behind the scenes, "Zhao Junsheng said.
"Uncle Zhao, who do you think is the person behind the scenes?" I thought about it and asked.
"I thought about this as well, this person definitely isn't someone from within our Shuguang Corporation, firstly, our employees all signed a non-disclosure agreement with the company, and wouldn't go out and say anything. Secondly, the internal people all know that our company licensed Shuguang Pinyin Input Method to Microsoft. They wouldn't be dumb enough to announce it to the media, and say that we plagiarized Microsoft's work. Isn't that just smashing their own foot with a rock? So it's very possible that it was done by someone who isn't very familiar with us! "Zhao Junsheng analyzed.
"Well said!" I said with a lot of admiration. This Zhao Junsheng did have a certain level of leadership ability, this was also the reason why I didn't worry about giving the company to him. Zhao Junsheng was right, from the moment I picked up the newspaper, I already denied that the person that wrote this article was someone from within the company.
"But I don't think it's that easy to find out who's behind this. This report should have been sent to the newspaper office anonymously or under a pseudonym. Unless the author shows himself, we have no other way, "Zhao Junsheng sighed.
However, what Zhao Junsheng said was also true. This damned news media dared to report anything for their own benefit. In my previous life, I had seen a lot of similar cases where the newspapers misreported personal or company losses. In the end, the newspapers were too arrogant to even apologize. In the end, the matter was left unsettled.
"The top priority is to let Song Jiang Morning Post make a clarification in tomorrow's newspaper and publish a positive report to save as much credibility as possible. If it really doesn't work, then throw our contract with Microsoft out! "I said with a commanding tone.
"There's definitely no problem with clarifying! If I don't teach these people a lesson, they won't know where they're from. I've already asked the officials to teach these bastards a lesson. Fuck, they dare to publish anything in the newspaper! "This was the first time Zhao Junsheng used vulgarities in front of me, he was clearly very angry. "But to announce Microsoft's contract, I'm afraid it's not appropriate …"
"Unless there's no other choice, we can't do this. Try to use your connections to put pressure on the other media, and make them not republish it, and also not publicize this matter. If everyone in the country knows about it, then it really won't be easy to clean up. Take advantage of the fact that we're only within Song Jiang city limits, and quickly deal with this, "I said.
"I understand. I'll call my dad in a bit, "Zhao Junsheng said.
I hung up the phone and fell into deep thought. Ever since Shuguang Corporation was established, it has always been smooth sailing. They have the support of the government above, and the support of the people below, it could be said that they have never offended anyone. What's more, the industries that Shuguang Corporation worked in were all the leading technologies in the country, or even the world, there was no direct conflict of interest with other companies. Who would find trouble for no reason, and want to mess with Shuguang?
The editing department of 《Song Jiang Morning Post》 was already in chaos.
"Wang Deyi, you sure have guts! Who told you to change the front page to this! " A bespectacled middle-aged man in his forties roared as he threw a copy of 《Song Jiang Morning Post》 in front of the reporter called Wang Deyi.
Wang Deyi lowered his head, and stood on the side, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Say something? Are you dumb! "The middle-aged man scolded.
"Editor Chen, I … I just decided to change the front page in order to increase the sales of our newspaper …" Wang Deyi said shakily.
"Increase the sales? Is there anyone that increases it like you? Do you want everyone in our newspaper to be laid off? Do you think that you're sick of this job, and want to go home and farm? Of all things to report, you have to report on Shuguang Corporation? Did you get your head kicked by a donkey?
What is Shuguang Corporation! That's our country's star corporation, let's not talk about how strong their relationship is, just the fact that Shuguang Corporation has solved the problem of reemployment for six thousand people in our city since its establishment, it's impossible for the government to not protect Shuguang Corporation! The most important thing for news media is to seek truth from facts!
Yet you, you're just making groundless accusations based on hearsay! This article doesn't even have an author, and you dare to publish it! But you have to look clearly when you want to publish it. There are so many Tom, Dick, Harry, and Harry, but you didn't publish it, and you chose Shuguang Corporation to publish it! This time, our newspaper office will be in big trouble! "Editor Chen was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
Wang Deyi was so scared that his whole body was sweating. His heart was filled with regret. Last night, when he was on duty at the newspaper office, he received a call from an unknown number. He faxed the article to Wang Deyi and requested to publish it on the front page of 《Song Jiang Morning Post》 tomorrow. He also promised that he would give Wang Deyi twenty thousand yuan as a reward. Wang Deyi thought that it wasn't a big deal. Wasn't it just a report that attacked others? It wasn't like he hadn't done this kind of fake news before, and it wouldn't cause any big problems, so he agreed. In the end, after the newspaper was published today, that unknown person didn't contact him anymore. He didn't even get a single cent.
At this time, the door of the editor's office was pushed open, and a few people walked in.
"Editor Chen, we are from the News and Publication Bureau. Now, we want to investigate the authenticity of today's report on Shuguang Corporation in 《Song Jiang Morning Post》. Please cooperate!" The leader said.
Editor Chen sighed. He didn't expect someone to investigate this matter so quickly. Although the person's tone was very polite, he might be fired on the spot.
Editor Chen glared at Wang Deyi fiercely and stood up to shake hands with the person who came in.
