Chapter 550: That's Just the Beginning
The reporter saw that Link was not going to be interviewed, and he was a little unwilling. But the bodyguards around him made them not care if they really stopped Link.
But the "speeches" of the blacks allowed them to discover new interviewees.
Link squeezed out of the encirclement of reporters, thanked the Fox residents who supported him all the way, and walked all the way to the car not far away.
He got into the car with a smile on his face. He carried Hannah to the middle and sat down before he sat down himself. When the door closed, Jessica asked, "What happened?"
With a smile still on his face, Link said, "There's a woman who told the media that Hans Apartment discriminates against her. ”
"Negroes?"
"Uh-huh!" Link was also annoyed now, but he didn't want to show a negative look in front of the child. "Don't worry, I've got someone to handle it. It's going to be fine!"
Jessica also knew that this was a good time to say this, so she didn't ask any more.
They didn't change their plans and continued to go to the shoe store to buy shoes. While Jessica was choosing shoes for the children, Link dialed Douglas's phone on the side, lowered his voice and said, "Douglas, there is something you need to find out as soon as possible." ”
"Boss, you say!"
Link's story about the black woman said, "Find out who made that damn Vera Anthony say that." ”
"Okay, I'll find out soon. ”
"Call me right away if I find out!"
"I will. ”
He was just about to establish his own anti-discrimination personality. Someone jumped out and said that the Hans Fund discriminated against blacks, and he would definitely be involved in the end. The collapse of the character design has serious consequences for a person.
That will make the people who originally hated you hate you even more, will make the people who originally ignored you start to hate you, and will make the people who originally liked you hate you.
If such a false hat is put on, he will not have a direct loss financially, but the impact of reputational damage on his business may be immeasurable. Because his business is now controlled by him. As long as you buy the products of the company under his name, you will think of him as a "racist" and "hypocrite".
That Vera Anthony has been evicted from her low-rent apartment for months, and only now has she spread rumors to reporters. There are only two possibilities that Link can think of, one is that he thought that the woman had no money and took the initiative to sell news to the media. The other one can only be told to say by someone.
He wanted to know who the enemy was.
Hannah chose a lovely pair of pink boots for herself. Of course, Jessica chose the two little points for them. It was Link, of course, who paid the money.
A reporter chased him outside the shoe store, but not as many as in front of the supermarket. They wanted to get close to the interview, and Link said to them, "What I can say, I've just said." ”
When they returned home, Jessica found that the Internet was full of reports of discrimination against black people by the Hans Foundation or Hans low-cost apartments. Of course, there have been "smart people" who have brought the charge of discrimination against blacks to Link.
Link saw an indemnity of reports that had been quoted by individuals or the media. Hans Fund and Hans Low-cost Apartment became the top two hot search rankings.
"They have invested a lot of money!" Jessica clicked on the mobile web browsing software, and found that it was indeed as she guessed, and after clicking on it, the news guide that popped up directly was this incident.
"And they're smart!"
Link saw the source of the report. The above report does not have a single biased sentence and seems to be very fair, but the words in Vera Anthony's tone are very leading.
He didn't believe that a black woman with too low emotional intelligence to stay in a low-rent apartment could say something like that.
Jessica also saw a lot of scolding Link on the Internet just now. This phenomenon is very bad.
It doesn't matter if what is reported is true or not, people are always more willing to believe the negative. Because most people's lives are too far away from the life they want, everything is negative.
Because only by thinking like that, the reason why they can fail is because the world is too unfair, not because they don't work hard,
Therefore, everything that goes wrong is the fault of the world. As a result, they think that the world must be dark.
The light they see now is false, and they are completely blind to it. When it turns into darkness, I take it for granted. So they are more willing to believe negative reports.
It's hard to get them to deny those things. Or that there are some people who think they are right. Such a person, as long as he personally thinks it is right, even if God shows up and tells him that it is wrong, he will spray God in the face.
In other words, it is precisely because the vast majority of people in the world are like that that that there are so few successful people.
She suspected that the other party had planned it that way, and wanted to get more people to accept their claims before Link was ready to fight back. If Link clarifies later, things will turn out to be very bad.
"How are you going to fight back?"
"I'll start by making a statement on a private website. ”
Jessica nodded and said, "I'll make you tea." ”
After she got out, Link called Matthew and asked him to issue a public statement asking everyone who reported and reprinted the rumors to immediately delete what they had made.
And he himself began to make a statement on his personal web page. The main content is still what the reporter said at the door of the supermarket.
In addition to this, he asked Catherine and Amanda to help him speak positively about the matter. In addition, Douglas, McCarthy and others were asked to find other media.
These statements may not be able to overpower the manipulated trolls, but it is better to be controversial than to let the other side speak completely. Having different voices would give the average person who sees those statements a little more direction to think – if they are willing to use their brains.
In addition to these, he can only wait for Hans's low-cost apartment to respond, and then plan according to how the outside world reacts. Now he can't use too much force.
If the low-rent apartment had come up with evidence to prove that he had not discriminated against that Vera Anthony, those people would dare to continue to make such statements or retweet them. Link dared to take them all to court.
At nine o'clock the next day, a press conference was held at the Hans Cheap Apartment in Chicago, which was attended by more than 200 media outlets.
At the press conference, the low-cost apartment presented all the evidence that the eviction of Vera Anthony's family was not discrimination. Rather, the family violated the tenancy terms of the low-rent apartment, and the decision was made after discussion between the management and the residents' committee. As for the evaluation results that prove that her emotional intelligence is extremely low, it shows that she was not denied a loan to start a business because she was discriminated against.
The person in charge of the Hans Cheap Rent Apartment in Chicago said: "We, the management of the Hanse Low Rent Apartment, which is made up of eleven people, is the eleven of us sitting here. Including me, there were six black people. To say that we discriminate against blacks, I think only a fool would believe it. And we at the low-rent apartment are already gathering evidence to file a defamation lawsuit against Vera Anthony. At the same time, we ask all media and individuals who publish or reprint relevant remarks on the Internet to delete all relevant remarks within 12 hours. We reserve the right to pursue legal action against individuals and media who maliciously spread false rumors. ”
But Link found that most of the online news about low-rent apartments discriminating against blacks was quickly deleted. But there are still people who are openly questioning the evidence presented against Chicago's low-cost apartments, but they are no longer afraid to openly say that low-cost apartments discriminate against blacks. Of course, few of the people who spoke on the Internet supported them. Even if it is support, I don't dare to say anything excessive.
In other words, those who want to deal with him are not choosing the right target. Is it stupid to say that a black-led team discriminates against blacks?
And what he did to Douglas Cha also had a result. It was Vera Anthony who broke the news to the media on her own initiative, for two thousand dollars.
Link had nothing to say about this, and called Morris directly: "No matter how sympathetic she is, sue the Supreme Court and let her compensate for all the losses!"
Of course, even if the lawsuit is won, it is impossible for the low-rent apartment to get money from the woman. But he's going to leave her with nothing.
At the same time, he noticed a strange phenomenon.
The rumors of Hans's low-rent apartment "discriminating against blacks" are so widely circulating, and the clarification of the low-rent apartment in Chicago will definitely be followed by many people. However, the press conference of Hans's low-rent apartment was not reported by the media.
Especially those television outlets. Not to mention the six major public television networks, they don't have a single word about it.
Even most of those local TV stations didn't have a sentence at most. The only places that can see the press conference are a few small local television stations for ethnic minorities and some websites that are not very large.
Is this blocked?!
Douglas found that his guess was correct: "All television stations were asked not to broadcast news about Hans's low-cost apartments. Otherwise, they won't be able to use the cable network. ”
After hearing this information, Link took a deep breath before suppressing the anger in his heart.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
He has money, but he doesn't have the resources. And this time he was "bullied", and the vice god of decay did not launch any passive retaliation skills. And those active skills, he didn't think it had any practical effect, and the last time he proved against Meng Sandu, it would still backfire.
Douglas concluded: "All our evidence points to one medium: CNN. ”
"I see. ”
It's CNN?
CNN is one of the largest cable television networks in the United States and one of the major television stations with the most racist tendencies. And the discrimination against the Chinese, CNN has also expressed it very openly more than once. Link has seen it a few times. After that, he never watched the station. Even now, Hannah Castle has never bought any of CNN's TV shows.
As he said at the 100 meeting in New York.
Some people discriminate against Chinese, in essence, they are discriminating against Chinese Americans in the United States. And the CNN insult incident he watched several times when he was a teenager. Its host openly called the Chinese "nerds" on the show. And it's the most rigid media in the face of actual evidence. In the face of the Chinese prosecution, they even said: "If they are willing to waste money, let them waste it." ”
Of course, it discriminates not only against China, but also against South America and the Middle East. As for blacks, perhaps because there are so many blacks in the United States, it doesn't dare to show it too obviously.
Jessica used to wonder how much he hated John Malone.
There is really only one reason. John Malone is good friends with CNN's boss, Ted Turner, and he is himself a major shareholder of CNN.
If Ted Turner didn't discriminate against the Chinese, it would be impossible for CNN to discriminate against the Chinese and still keep his life, and do everything possible to keep those hosts who insulted the Chinese.
Could someone who could be friends with Ted Turner be someone who was friendly to the Chinese? He didn't think he could draw a definite assumption.
In that case, what reason does he have to befriend someone who discriminates against him?
Just when he thought it was a last resort for CNN, he realized he was wrong.
And that's just the beginning.
