Chapter 1047 Conspiracy Theories
"Duncan, you can double the commission for the PR agency, and tell them that if the bid is successful, there's a $1 million bonus. The budget for activities has also been tripled. Let them visit each member again, and if they don't get the first vote, they have to fight for the second option. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Then there's resource utilization. The resources of the entire group will be prioritized by this bid. If those committee members make any other requests, they can be discussed in principle, and if they are less than $100,000, they can agree on the spot. If it exceeds $100,000, report it to me immediately. ”
"Yes, sir. Duncan felt a little strange, so he asked, "Sir, is this Olympics really that important?"
It's not the same now.
Although in the past few years, Jing Jian's ranking in the wealth ranking has not risen much, or to be more accurate, he still has not regained the top position, only hovering in the top ten miles, but Duncan's cronies are well aware that the wealth hidden under the iceberg is simply amazing.
Even Forbes Magazine admits in an introductory article that "Mr. Bramble is one of the most underrated billionaires on the wealth list." Mainly because a large number of his companies are not listed, and a large part of them are in Chinese mainland, and it is difficult to obtain accurate statistics......"
In fact, there is no need for companies in Chinese mainland at all. At the end of this year alone, search engine companies that are preparing to be listed on the NASDAQ and online instant messaging companies that will be listed in the first half of next year have been rated as the hottest topic on Wall Street in recent times, which will attract a huge capital feast. So at that time, Jing Jian will easily become the richest man in the world again.
And that's not even counting this year and next, Taifu Bank, which is preparing to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and several "smaller" companies. In particular, Tatfook Bank, as one of the cores of the consortium, has long been ranked among the ranks of large and medium-sized local banks in Hong Kong. As long as the IPO is financed, it will expand aggressively, carry out mergers and acquisitions, and immediately become the top 10 largest banks in Hong Kong.
Especially the "hidden" in the past few years, it is not that Jingjian wants to take the initiative to keep a low profile, but that he is vigorously building the future development framework of several major groups. Although they haven't made much of a profit yet, Duncan certainly understands how incredible the potential can be.
Since the potential is amazing, how terrible are the resources that can be mobilized after making up one's mind? Therefore, Duncan wonders, is it necessary to invest so much in the Olympic Games? In the eyes of Westerners like Duncan, the Olympic Games are nothing more than a business.
Jing Jian smiled and explained: "You don't understand, this is the first time that China has hosted the Olympic Games, and there are some special political meanings in it. ”
"Oh, then I see. Rest assured, sir, I will arrange it. Duncan thought he had understood Jing Jian's words. Think of it as a political donation, a necessary investment in assets in Chinese mainland.
Since Duncan was willing to make up for it, Jing Jian didn't want to explain more. He continued to instruct: "Find me another group of sailors who are willing to do dirty work, and we must stir up the following topics to the point that all major forums are hot." I will fax you the information. You have to get the timing right, and you have to get the right amount to the traditional media. ”
"No problem, sir. ”
Since there is a Blue Star Network, how could Jing Jian forget the role of the water army? Not only is it a "small business" like spam, but it also plays a rather amazing role in the fermentation of public opinion. However, people in this era have not yet discovered this new media channel, and they are still very superstitious about traditional media. If you can use it well, it will often work wonders.
And Jing Jian's method is to smear. Since it's hard to wash white, let's roll the two of them into carbon balls together!
But to be honest, Australia is really difficult to be smeared, the key is that there is not much sense of existence at all, so it is difficult to find black spots? Especially since Australia is in the white cultural circle, in the mainstream Western media, it will naturally gain favor.
However, many people ignore it, or rather, they really don't know that the hot news that the people prefer should be conspiracy theories in addition to gossip and scandals, right?
Conspiracy theories are a strange thing. Although most of them are absurd, sometimes there is no rigorous evidence to support this theory, it is absurd and illogical and not worth considering, and it will even be criticized by the mainstream media and experts, who will ridicule those who believe that they are mentally retarded and will not be believed at all.
But conspiracy theories are often very marketable, and there are a lot of people who believe in them. The people who eat melons don't care if you are an expert or not, as long as they are lively enough, exciting enough, and in line with the mainstream ideas of the people, you can make up for it without evidence, and no matter how absurd it is, you can make up logic, so the vitality of this kind of rumor is particularly tenacious, and the audience is unexpectedly huge.
It's not that those ordinary people are really all "mentally retarded". Of course, there are people who believe in it, but the rebellious and angry youth are in the minority after all. The vast majority of people who eat melons are blindly coaxing, happily spreading these news: "...... You see, those officials are looking foreign again! Hahaha! They deserve to be unlucky!"
For example, the menstrual posts that are often seen on forums now, what are the Pearl Harbor conspiracy theories, the moon landing forgery theory, and even the 911 self-written, directed, and self-acted theory...... It seems that there is a documentary that won an award at the Cannes Film Festival, right?
The author even saw a tearing king on the forum, who said in convincing words that the two buildings of 911 were by no means collapsed by planes, but that the US government had been prepared for a long time and detonated a neutron bomb under the building. During the Cold War, in order to prevent the Soviet Union from hitting the mainland, the United States had already installed neutron bombs in key places in every building, bridge and dam, and prepared scorched earth tactics.
( ̄工 ̄lll)
It seems that this leader is more confident than the Soviet Union to consider the possibility of the fall of the United States. And the American people ...... How happy you are? Every day you go to work in a skyscraper and have a neutron bomb sitting under your butt?
As a matter of fact, just like the current contest for the right to bid, didn't conspiracy theories also appear later? The Taiwan committee members voted against it? This old gentleman swore several times to no avail. There are also more widely circulated, such as the "North Korean mutiny theory", which was later refuted by even the Chinese Olympic Committee member, but it is still useless, and now you can still find this statement in a casual search on the Internet.
Why? First of all, this rumor is quite clever. However, there were some incidents such as "resurrection of the undead" and "artillery execution" later, which made people gradually wake up to the fact that there are forces behind it that are constantly spreading rumors and smearing.
Another point is also important. This really catered to the public opinion of the Chinese at that time. The Olympic bid was unsuccessful, and they were all full of anger, and they couldn't wait to see a big tree, so they ran up and kicked it a few times. So I really need a scapegoat to vent, and when I suddenly hear this news, it doesn't matter if he is true or not, it is not illogical, and there is nothing wrong with scolding a few words first.
Therefore, the current Jing Jian is also very dangerous. What if he's the scapegoat this time?
