After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yunhai opened his Merica homepage.
Vincent had asked him to apply for it when he was selling his records. Until now, he had 53 million fans and was in the top ten among European and American artists. Xiao Yunhai only looked at it. He had never posted a message before. Today was the first time.
"Dear fans and friends, there are posts everywhere on the Internet that are slandering me and asking me to leave Merica. I know that someone hired the Internet Water Army to attack me with my words about the injustice of the Oscars. Merica is a country where public opinion is free. I just said my true thoughts and was attacked by so many people. This hurts me. I'm a newcomer in the Merica entertainment industry and don't have the ability to protect myself. I can only rely on you. Please help me no matter what. Thank you. "
Mo Yina saw Xiao Yunhai's message and laughed. "Are you pretending to be pitiful?"
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I'm telling the truth."
Mo Yina said, "Okay, it's the truth. Yunhai, I think we should hire someone to take care of your homepage. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I can hand this over to Raúl and ask him to find a smart guy in Marvel's publicity department to help me."
Mo Yina said, "That's a good idea. Look, someone replied to the post. Wow, it's so fast. There are hundreds of comments in the blink of an eye. "
In the comments section of Xiao Yunhai's homepage, countless posts sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
"Xiao, don't worry. We'll help you."
"Humph, I watched the entire Oscars ceremony last night. Xiao was right. There's something wrong with the Oscars. "
"That's right. 'Inception' and 'Infernal Affairs' sold for tens of billions of dollars but didn't win a single award. I don't believe that there's nothing fishy going on. "
"Even the chairman of the Oscars committee can't guarantee it. It's definitely not a small problem."
"It's useless to say this. Let's go to the forum and fight with the Internet Water Army. Hmph, do you really think we're stupid? It's obvious that someone is deliberately slandering Kungfu Xiao. If we push him away, where are we going to listen to such good music? "
"Yes, let's fight together."
In just half an hour, there were millions of posts in Xiao Yunhai's comment section.
On the major forums, there were more and more posts supporting Xiao Yunhai.
According to Xiao Yunhai's instructions, Raúl ordered the Internet Water Army to spread a lot of posts, telling everyone that this was all Paramount's scheme. They wanted to smear Xiao Yunhai's reputation and win the 20 billion bet. This immediately caused a huge uproar, and the battle became even more intense.
After posting the post, Xiao Yunhai asked Mo Yina to keep an eye on it for him, and he drove to the Swiss Bank.
At this time, the lawyer he hired with a high salary had already arrived. Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him, exchanged some pleasantries, and walked into the bank together.
Xiao Yunhai was one of the world's top tycoons. He was worth more than 400 billion, and his assets were unbelievably healthy.
The Swiss Bank naturally gave the green light to a client like him. The procedures were simplified many times. In less than ten minutes, the 20 billion USD was settled.
As soon as he received the money, before he could catch his breath, Hanks walked in with more than ten people.
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Mr. Hanks, it's just a bet. Is there a need to mobilize so many people?"
Hanks said, "This is 20 billion USD. How can I not be nervous? After all, I'm not as rich as you are. Mr. Xiao, have you prepared your 20 billion? "
Xiao Yunhai waved the check in his hand and said, "I just loaned it out. Mr. Hanks, it looks like you're very confident. "
Hanks smiled confidently and said, "Of course. If I wasn't confident, why would I make such a big bet with you? "
Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "Just don't fail miserably. This morning, I was scolded like that on the Internet for no reason. If I'm not wrong, it should be Paramount's doing, right? "
Hanks shook his head and said, "That I don't know. Maybe it's someone else. After all, Mr. Xiao doesn't seem to have offended only Paramount. Besides, didn't you mobilize your fans to fight a public opinion war with them? You even have the upper hand. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's all thanks to my fans. Forget it, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. I still have something urgent to do. Let's get it done quickly. "
Hanks smiled and said, "As you wish."
Both parties signed an agreement with the Swiss Bank. The Swiss Bank would be the middleman. After the winner was determined, they would be responsible for handing over 20 billion USD to the winner.
Because the amount was too large, the fee paid to the Swiss Bank alone would be 50 million USD. And this sum of money would be paid by the loser.
After the three parties signed the agreement, Hanks smiled satisfactorily and said, "Mr. Xiao, thank you in advance for your 20 billion USD. Haha, you made me lose 12 billion USD on the MGM Grand. Now you're giving me 20 billion USD. Looks like I've made a huge profit from this deal. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "I really don't know where you get your confidence from. Why don't you think about it? If you lose, you'll lose 32 billion USD. Haha, when that time comes, even if Mr. Steer is willing to let you go, the other shareholders probably won't. "
Hanks snorted and said, "Then we'll see."
After settling the bet, the two of them left one after another.
After leaving the bank, Xiao Yunhai drove to Marvel Comics.
When he saw Raúl, Xiao Yunhai asked, "How's the situation on the Internet?"
Raúl said, "It's very intense. A lot of Hollywood celebrities are on the Internet criticizing your comments about the Oscars. But most of them are Paramount artists. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Hanks really doesn't give up. Are you confident that you can handle this? "
Raúl said confidently, "This is a small matter. It's definitely not a problem. However, you've offended the Oscars committee. Although they won't ban your movie, there might be problems with the ratings. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I understand."
Just then, Xiao Yunhai's phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was an unknown number.
"Mr. Xiao, hello. I'm the private detective you hired previously, Stoker."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Oh, it's Mr. Stoker. What's the matter?"
Stoker said, "I saw on the Internet that you seemed to be in trouble."
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's just a bunch of clowns. It won't take long to deal with them."
Stoker was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Xiao, you said in front of the reporters that the Oscars committee was unfair to you when judging your movie. Do you have any evidence?"
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up and said, "From what you're saying, you seem to have evidence?"
Stoker said, "That's right. A month ago, my detective was asked by someone to investigate the chairman of the Oscars committee, George Michael. I happened to record a recording of him. I believe you'll be very interested. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "It seems that George Michael has offended a lot of people."
Stoker said, "He's a good person. It's a pity that he's been the chairman of the committee for five years. He's blocked a lot of people's paths."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Stoker, since someone wants to deal with him, he probably has a copy of your recording. What's the use of giving it to me? As long as the other party announces it, Michael will be completely finished. “
Stoker smiled bitterly and said, "The problem is that my buyer got into a car accident a week ago and is now in a vegetative state. If I hadn't seen your conflict with the Oscars, I wouldn't have remembered this recording. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then he's really unlucky. Mr. Stoker, if I want this recording, how much are you going to sell it to me? "
Stoker didn't even think and said, "One million dollars."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "That's a fair price. But you'll have to bring it to the coffee shop next to Marvel Comics. I'll send someone to check it out with a check for one million dollars. The recording is fine. I'll give you the money immediately. "
Stoker said happily, "That's great. Thank you, Mr. Xiao. I'll be there in half an hour. "
After hanging up, Xiao Yunhai told Raúl about the situation.
Raúl said, "I'll go there myself."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's good."
