Chapter 552: One Man's War

Jessica walked out of his study and turned around to give him a flying kiss: "Love you!"

Link smiled and said, "I love you too!"

When the door closed, Link put away his smile. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Douglas: "Douglas, I need you to come to Ozette." ”

"I'll be there tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. ”

Although Douglas is already the president of the world-famous casino hotel, Link's orders are still carried out to the letter. He knew that whenever Link needed him to go to Ozet, there was something he couldn't leak to do. As the president of the Venetian Hotel & Casino, he was easily connected to the plane.

"You can land directly at Mora airport. I'm waiting for you at the castle. ”

Then he made another phone call to Benedict, the president of Lin's Retail, and asked him to come to Fox at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

In the end, he wrote an article himself, passed it to Catherine, and asked her to find a reporter to change it according to the gist of it and sign it.

The next day, before Douglas arrived at Mora Manor, the "Fifty Cent Party" in the United States had already made a move.

The show, which claimed that high-yielding wheat could cause infertility in men, seemed to be seen by all Americans. There is talk of a lot of talk online about the possibility that high-yielding wheat could lead to American men becoming shemales.

There are so many posts like that, as if women all over the world are worried about the sexual health of American men!

He can also see some rebuttal articles, all of which are articles published by real scientists.

It seems that the work of the public relations department of the Benihans Group is still very efficient. But they clearly haven't made a deal with the trolls yet.

The articles published on the scientists' personal pages in support of Benihans' high-yield wheat were almost always swearing, questioning.

He didn't even look at what the scientists had written, he simply flipped through the comments on a few articles and stopped reading them. Other scientists have probably published articles that are not much worse.

When Douglas arrived at the castle, Link immediately took him to his study. In the elevator, he asked, "I think I already know what I'm here for." ”

"yes, I guessed that. ”

"I want you to check the doctor. Including whether he has had an abnormal income recently, whether he has that kind of experimental ability, and so on. ”

"The point is to find out if he has a deal with CNN?"

"Or companies like Monsandu. "That's when the elevator went up to the ninth floor.

Link stepped out of the elevator and said as he walked towards the study, "Plus, CNN is like a green-headed fly buzzing around me all the time, which makes me nauseous!"

As he spoke, he went to the study and pushed open the door and walked in, turning around and saying, "I'm going to shoot it to death!"

Douglas closed the door, groaned, and said, "Boss, I have to warn you." If you want to take down CNN, it's almost impossible. ”

Link looked at him for a moment, then turned and walked to the desk.

He walked over to his desk and sat down, motioned for Douglas to sit down as well, and said, "At least pat it out of its intestines." ”

It has a very close relationship with both the federal government and the military. CNN is a staunch supporter of any important policy of the federal government. And as long as the United States declares war on foreign countries, they will induce the public to believe that it is necessary for the United States to send troops. For example, reporting on the "strength" of the United States, as well as the "international responsibility" that the United States "should fulfill".

Sometimes, they even go so far as to create fake news.

For example, the Iraq war that overthrew the "stupid big wood". They first made a big deal about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and they worked with the military to invite a Middle Eastern girl to a press conference. The Middle East girl burst into tears and complained about how dire Iraq was under the rule of "Silly Big Wood".

As a result, the U.S. plan to send troops has a higher approval rating – which may have been made up, of course. However, it was later confirmed that Iraq's most weapons of mass destruction were all dropped into Iraq from American planes or warships. So when the Americans came, they were all "blown up".

As a result, the American army did not find any weapons of destruction.

As for the Middle Eastern girl, she was identified as a native of the United States......

In response to these questions, a retired senior CIA official said proudly when interviewed: "You know, this is for the interests of the United States!"

Not to mention anything else.

But this shows how deep the relationship between CNN and the U.S. federal government is. It is said that whoever becomes president, Ted Turner will be treated as a guest of honor when he goes to the White House.

He killed CNN, and his way is still too shallow. But that doesn't mean he can't move CNN.

"I want you to collect the inside scoop on all the fake news on CNN. The inside story of all the collusion with those high-ranking officials. ”

When Douglas heard him say this, his face looked a little solemn, and he said, "Boss." It's dangerous! Not only us, but you. For those people, there is no lower limit to morality. And the law is nothing more than a leftover thing in their eyes. ”

"But you're professional, aren't you?" Link said with a laugh. "I don't need you to gather all the inside information. I need you to identify the ones that can be collected, and then get your hands on them. Also, I need you to gather the inside scoop on all of their news that discriminates against people of color. I need you to reach out to anti-discrimination organizations in minority communities. I can give them money and let them bite CNN. ”

With Link's words, Douglas was a little relieved.

He was genuinely worried that Link would be so arrogant that he thought he could directly confront the top of the entire United States. If it is up to him to distinguish between those people and things, he can provoke them. He felt that he could avoid getting himself and Link into big trouble.

He used to work for the F.B.I. and knows better than most people about certain shady things. He will avoid going into a minefield.

And Link asked him to contact those minorities, so of course he had to avoid being associated with Link. That's not easy to do. But the intelligence network he had laid before could do just that. As long as he doesn't use core members, only peripheral personnel who don't know his identity, and the contact time is shorter, he is sure that no one will be able to find out about him.

He is familiar with the means of the likes of the FBI!

Douglas thought for a moment and said, "I think our investigation would have been easier if we could get Don's help." ”

Link didn't even think about it and said, "No, I'd rather you didn't find anything! ”

Douglas couldn't, nodded and said, "I see." ”

Douglas offered to ask Carrick to help, just thinking that at some point, Carrick's methods would be of great help. But as he spoke, he also understood that Carrick really couldn't take any risks right now.

Hacking sounds great, but after all, it won't see the light of day. And no one can guarantee that it will be foolproof. If something goes wrong, not only will Carrick be in trouble, but they will also be tracked down.

There's no Carrick, and when he needs a hacker, he's looking for something else entirely. And that's safer. It's just that it's more cumbersome to find.

Seeing off Douglas, Link had lunch at home and went to work at Fox.

Benedict showed up at his office at two o'clock in the afternoon.

After taking control of Lin's Retail, Link's only involvement in Lin's retail affairs, in addition to arranging a financial director, was to appoint Benedict as the official president of Lin's Sales.

The cooperation between the two is quite pleasant. In the first year or so, Benedict not only turned Lin's retail into a profit, but also relied on bank loans to open dozens of new hypermarkets. In the past quarter, Lin's sales have stopped expanding rapidly, but have relied on profits to slowly add new branches. Link was quite happy with that.

And Benedict is also very satisfied with Link's full decentralization. Of course, Link turned him into a regular two months ahead of schedule and gave him a 10% option, which also made him no longer just a part-time worker.

Link saw him, came out of his desk and shook his hand, saying, "You look good, Benedict." It's been a long time since we've seen each other. ”

"Yes, Mr. Hans, I'm fine. It should have been half a year since we last met. You also look better than I thought you would!"

"Sit casually!" Link entertained each other directly on the couch since he had walked out. He didn't continue to talk nonsense either. "I asked you to come this time to hear what your plans are for the future of Lin's Retail!"

Benedict had expected that.

Benedict laughed: "We have revised our plans for the next five years. You know. We're doing pretty well right now, at least not disappointing us. ”

"Yes. Although I didn't get the dividends from Lin's Retail, I remember how much tax I paid on those dividends. ”

Lin's retail was also forced to pay dividends, but he reinvested all the dividends into Lin's.

Benedict laughed and said, "Yes, those guys were feasted on us like vampires." He stopped laughing and said. "We hope to continue to open stores in cities across the U.S. in the next few years. Our goal is to add at least 48 hypermarkets, 160 supermarkets and 500 small stores in the next five years. If the situation is a little more optimistic, I look forward to starting to expand into markets outside of the US, such as Mexico and Canada. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a document and said, "This is our latest five-year plan." ”

Link took the paper and said, "Maybe it's a good plan, but Benedict." I would say that this is not enough. ”

Benedict frowned, but immediately let go and said, "What do you want?"

"My request is, you can be a little bolder. Expand, expand, expand!" Link said, returning the paper. "I want you to do a new five-year plan. In addition, make an expansion plan that will allow you to get $5 billion in funding within three years. ”

"But Mr. Hans, we expanded too quickly last year, and now is the time to consolidate the market. If we overextend, our management can be chaotic. ”

Link shook his head and said, "I didn't ask you to expand right away. Half a year, is half a year enough for you to stabilize the current market?"

"It's obvious. I'm confident!"

"So, this five-year plan obviously doesn't satisfy me!"
