Chapter 53: Lawsuits, Kidnapping of Public Opinion
"What a great people, and I think I should get to know it well. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info", Aunt May said very solemnly, she is a traditional Protestant, and she has a special affection for this kind of martyrdom-style hero.
"You're going to love it, really, you're going to love it very, very much. You may be able to find a new recipe for fruit and vegetable juice in it, Zhang Jinyang mourned in his heart for the future spider boy.
"So, I'll see you later, I'll be called for something. As always, it comes and goes like the wind.
Just when Zhang Jinyang was concentrating on the installation of equipment at the base, the atmosphere in the police station was unexpectedly much lighter, and the credit naturally went to TPE.
Wielding the stick of human rights and holding the banner of respecting privacy, and endorsing the Hearst family, the newly opened law firm has joined dozens of victims of the Pier 43 incident who have been exposed on television to file a lawsuit against more than 30 television stations, newspapers, and online streaming media throughout North America, demanding that these "unscrupulous news media that ignore the feelings of the parties" make a public apology and propose a total of up to 1.7 billion US dollars in compensation.
And just as Jiang Shuyan guessed, Webster's grandfather, the contemporary patriarch of the Hearst family, although he did not come forward, was obviously supportive of this kind of prestige.
The old man used his influence to hold a low-key private dinner in the name of his son, and invited dozens of Hollywood's most popular movie stars, directors and even screenwriters to attend, and then these celebrities who usually suffer from scandal reports spoke out on different occasions in support of TPE and the victims, and raised the incident to the level of a "humanitarian disaster", calling these acts of publicizing the faces of the victims "the lack of human moral bottom line".
This detonated the entire public opinion, the people of Eagle Sauce have always boasted of being a "model of human rights in the world", and they have always used the stick of human rights to beat others, when did they actually do such a hateful thing in their own home, the media that provide everyone with after-dinner talk on weekdays, and the reporters who always expose the ugly faces of politicians, actually ignore the people's power so much, it is simply not a son of man.
So the New Yorktown Police Department held a timely press conference, saying that "the brave reporter refused to report to the police when he got the news, and destroyed the arrest operation jointly planned by the police and Interpol for many years, resulting in the identity of an undercover police detective being exposed, seriously injured and dying, and the main culprit of the huge human trafficking network escaped justice with timely evidence of annihilation." The blockbuster news was launched, and a large barrel of gasoline was poured evenly and meticulously on the fire that everyone shouted, and revenge was ruthlessly avenged.
Jiang Shuyan also took advantage of this opportunity, through Jenny's friend, Andria, the field technical officer of the New Yorktown Police Department, who is also a member of the Gini Sisters, successfully caught up with the deputy chief of the police department, George Stacy, who is responsible for supporting the police force in serious cases, and offered a small plan for the press conference to successfully win the favor of most of the police officers, but he couldn't get compensation from the media, and this TPE was already full of money.
It was rare for the people who had always loved to join in the excitement to have such an opportunity, so the marches of various slogans came one after another, and for the first time, several news station logos, which had always been authoritative, took to the streets in such a disgraceful way -- they had watched the march from the sidelines and made some statements that seemed to be sympathetic but in fact gloated, but now it was the turn of others to gloat over them.
The media, which previously felt that the Pier 43 incident was not worth writing about, suddenly felt that they were blessed, and this kind of opportunity to beat up their competitors was rare, so various media outlets that did not pay much attention to current affairs expressed their positions one after another - of course, they were on the side of the victims, including many entertainment media mainly in the entertainment industry, which were followed by the star-studded statements.
This is a serious hornet's nest, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign fans are all people with plenty of time, but these people are still some glass hearts, originally accused of these media's crisis public relations in this matter has been a little diluted, all kinds of parades have no stamina, I didn't expect these fans to contact each other's fans or something, and there was actually a strong wave, although on the surface it is to support their own stars, but those burned signs are all real media logos.
As a result, this incident, which was not suitable for publicity, and everyone was pretending to make a quick decision, passed for more than half a month one after another, forcing various media to not only apologize in large numbers but also to pay high compensation -- although it was not as much as 1.7 billion after negotiation, each victim still received a minimum of 5 million and a maximum of 7 million, with a total of 300 million US dollars.
TPE has since become famous, and the head of Jiang Shuyan's head has been hanging on the headlines of various legal columns for a week, and she has successfully gained the hatred of half of the News Corp. in North America, while her reputation in the government, entertainment and police circles is skyrocketing.
Old Hearst even made a special phone call to congratulate her, saying that as long as she can maintain this stance and ability, then she will become a member of the Hearst family, and the family's resources can be appropriately tilted towards her -- the family concept of the North American Eagle is not the same as that of the Yanhuang people, in fact, it is closer to the model of interest groups, and it does not have to be linked by blood relations and marriage relations.
Jiang Shuyan reciprocated by throwing the hottest potato in her hand, the 40 million Osborne corporate bearer bonds of unknown origin, into the channel of the Hearst family with a high commission of 17% -- but according to Master Webster, "a certain old immortal in the family was very optimistic about Osborne, so he ate it all in one go."
TPE seized almost 26 million in this media war, or after tax, Jiang Shuyan, who often appears in TV interviews, is of course sassy and well-mannered, and since knowing the whole story, Aunt Mei, who has stubbornly worn a yellow ribbon on her chest, has been awarded the "warmest smile of the year" with her gentle smile and blue eyes full of encouragement and hope, and has been used as the cover of many magazines several times.
Webster, on the other hand, won the title of "tender iron man" with his resolute face, his impassioned face in the face of the media, his silent bowing of his head every time he said his heartache, his red eyes when he raised his head again, and his low, roaring speech and questioning, won the title of "tender iron man", captured the care and trust of thousands of women, and many feminist organizations wrote to express their gratitude to him -- according to the family's arrangement, he may find an appropriate time to participate in the election after the incident has been silent for a period of time, and he will enter the political arena from then on.
Although Mei is still a shareholder, she disappeared strangely in this incident, her news was not leaked at all, quiet and unreasonable, but in some strange little means, it was obvious that someone was doing something behind the scenes, this feeling of being like God favoring and everything going well once made Jiang Shuyan suspicious, until he saw Zhang Jinyang's unscrupulous actions and hints of meaning, so he put this matter down temporarily.
As for Zhang Jinyang, I am afraid that the gains in this case are very complicated.
He did not appear in front of the media, which was also his conscious concealment of himself, not only Jiang Shuyan and Webster, but even Aunt Mei kept silent about his affairs, saying that he had nothing to say.
However, the reason why the media asked him was naturally for a reason, in order to make things bigger, he put the matter of base equipment on hold for the time being, stayed up all night for several days in a row, and included all relevant personnel in his own surveillance, and even slipped into the police station several times, just to get the latest investigation results to supplement the shortcomings of TPE in data.
Most of the decisions made by his opponents were provided to Jiang Shuyan early on, so that she or Webster could strike first, once or twice, it was okay to say, and after three or five times, people would feel that there was a ghost, and then people found out that TPE also had its own investigation department, and the team was actually led by the largest shareholder.
