Among the many candidates, the Anderson family chose Lyle, who was not on the same side as Adams. Just the campaign expenses alone were 30 billion USD. At the same time, they gave him advice. The attack on Adams was most likely planned by them. The timing was very good, causing Adams's support to plummet.
Vanessa Bessie said, "Kelly, have you contacted my family? What did they say? "
Kelly laughed bitterly and said, "In the current situation, the most important thing is the support of the public. Underhanded methods are basically useless. If we want to turn the tide, we have to have the public support of people with a strong reputation in American society. And in terms of reputation, Hollywood stars are undoubtedly the best choice. "
Vanessa Bessie asked, "Don't you want to use the issue of mobile internet copyright to make an exchange with those entertainment companies?"
Kelly said, "I don't think that's a good idea. On the contrary, if we don't handle it well, it will attract the collective resistance of the other Hollywood companies. But we'll try our best. "
Vanessa Bessie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact those famous entertainment giants to go to Washington as soon as possible. I hope it'll be effective. Kelly, what else can I do for you? "
Kelly said, "Vanessa, I hope you can mobilize all the publicity departments to suppress Lyle. Since he doesn't have any loopholes, we'll create one for him. Also, there's that Kungfu Xiao who has an important position in America. If he can publicly express his support for us, it'll be like adding wings to a tiger for us. "
Vanessa Bessie frowned and said, "The first thing is no problem, but the second is very difficult. Kungfu Xiao is a guy who doesn't listen to force or persuasion. I don't have the ability to ask him to help. However, if he can really help you, this matter might really succeed. In Hollywood, Marvel, General Motors, and MGM Grand almost form an iron triangle. They support each other, and Marvel is vaguely the leader. Xiao Yunhai agreed, so the other two companies might very well agree. "
Kelly said, "I talked to him at his concert last year. His answer was that he would not help either side."
Vanessa Bessie sighed. "I don't have a good relationship with Xiao, so I really can't help you, Kelly. He seems to have come to New York. Do you want to meet him? "
Kelly thought for a moment and smiled bitterly. "We don't have anything to give him, so let's forget about it."
Kelly stayed at Steyr Networks for two hours and then left in a hurry.
Vanessa Bessie sent her to the car, her expression turning solemn.
Adams had always worked well with the Bessie Family. Many big projects were completed through him. Once he left, it would be detrimental to the Bessie Family.
In fact, before Kelly came, Vanessa Bessie had already received instructions from her family to use all her power to help Adams win the election. It was evident how serious the situation was.
Back in the office, Vanessa Bessie started calling the CEOs of the entertainment companies in Hollywood. She summoned everyone to the Internet department in Washington to discuss the issue of the Internet copyright. Everyone agreed immediately.
Except for Xiao Yunhai. Vanessa Bessie thought for a while before dialing his number.
At this time, Xiao Yunhai was inspecting the work of Yunqing Network. They had recently developed three software patents. Lan Jiancheng gave him a serious explanation. Unfortunately, Xiao Yunhai did not understand at all. He only knew that these three patents could bring him tens of millions of dollars in income.
Even though Xiao Yunhai did not understand, it did not stop him from praising the software department. This made the heads of the various teams very happy.
As soon as he came out of the software department, Xiao Yunhai's phone rang with a call from Vanessa Bessie.
Xiao Yunhai stopped and waved his phone. He smiled and said, "Did you see that? Miss Bessie seems to be in a hurry."
Christy said, "This morning, Madam President Kelly went to Steyr Networks for an inspection. I just saw it online."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and pressed the answer button.
"Miss Bessie, I'm glad you called me. This means that our relationship is not as bad as I thought." Xiao Yunhai chuckled.
Christy nodded. She had to admit that her boss was becoming more and more mature after these few years of training. At the very least, he had completely grasped how to communicate with these capitalists.
Vanessa Bessie smiled and said, "I can't help it. If Steyr Networks wants to develop, we still need the support of Yunqing Network. I don't dare to offend you."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Miss Bessie, you really know how to joke. Your Steyr Games has contacted a few other large companies in Europe and America and formed an alliance to compete with my game app. Why would you need us? Miss Bessie, how much is your platform fee? It can't be less than 10%, right? A price war is not a good idea for us. It will only lead to a loss for both sides. "
Vanessa Bessie said, "It's all your fault for setting the price at 10%. It's really too low. Mr. Xiao, haven't you thought of raising the price? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'm trying to grab the market share so that you won't overtake me. Miss Bessie, I hope that after your game app is released, we can discuss the price. It's best if we can reach a consensus. As for who has the bigger market share, that will depend on their own marketing methods. What do you think? "
Vanessa Bessie said, "Of course it's good. It's not just for game apps. It should be the same for video apps too. We need to set a rule for commercial activities. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to the development of the entire industry. I'm calling you this time mainly to invite you and the CEOs of the seven major entertainment companies to Washington to discuss with the American government about mobile network copyright. "
Xiao Yunhai pretended to be confused and asked, "Miss Bessie, this doesn't seem to have much to do with Marvel Comics, does it?"
Vanessa Bessie laughed. "Mr. Xiao, don't lie to me. Yunqing Network's software department is making a video app. If there's a problem with the network copyright, what's the use of making a video app? Mr. Xiao, it's not a good habit to do nothing and just enjoy the fruits of victory behind the scenes. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Looks like Miss Bessie cares a lot about our company. You even know about this. Alright, I'll get our CEO, Miss Wen Yanhong, to go with you. "
"No." Vanessa Bessie rejected Xiao Yunhai's suggestion without even thinking.
Her goal was the presidential election. The mobile network copyright was not a problem at all.
As if she felt that her words were inappropriate, Vanessa Bessie said, "Mr. Xiao, only sending the CEO doesn't mean that we're taking this seriously. You're the richest man in the world, and you're the leader of the mobile network. If you don't go, our power will be greatly reduced. "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "So, the CEOs of the eight major Hollywood movie companies will come personally?"
Vanessa Bessie said, "That's right."
Xiao Yunhai had basically confirmed Vanessa Bessie's goal. He said, "Alright. When? "
Vanessa Bessie said, "The day after tomorrow at ten in the morning. Everyone will gather at the American Network Department building. Except for me.
Other than the eight of us, a few CEOs of other entertainment companies will also be there. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Alright, got it."
After hanging up, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Vanessa Bessie wants me to go. Looks like that Mr. President is really anxious."
Christy asked, "Mr. Xiao, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'll say the same thing again. I won't help either side."
America's President Adams had gotten the Network Department to do this just to invite the CEOs of Hollywood entertainment companies over, hoping to gain their support.
As for the issue of the mobile network copyright, regardless of whether Adams was satisfied or not, he definitely wouldn't dare to reject it.
Because at this juncture, if he offended Hollywood, Adams would really have no hope at all.
Xiao Yunhai only went to make up the numbers so that the people from Hollywood wouldn't say that he didn't take responsibility and only knew how to take advantage of others. That would be bad for his reputation.
Christy frowned and said, "I'm worried that things won't be that simple. Since this Mr. President used Vanessa Bessie to gather the CEOs of Hollywood entertainment companies, he definitely has some means to get you to support him. Otherwise, there's no point in him doing this. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "If you want to get something that doesn't belong to you, there are only two ways. One is to threaten, and the other is to entice. Adams definitely won't dare to threaten. Then, the only thing left is to entice. Although he's the President of America, I don't think he can give me something that I can't refuse. Haha, to be honest, I haven't been to Washington yet. This time, I can take a look around. "
After leaving the company, Xiao Yunhai returned to his newly bought villa.
