Chapter 8042: "Toys"
Although Barbara, with the intuition of the intelligence officer she once served, sensed that some things were unreasonable, just like the intelligence work itself, except for the part that was presented to the person in charge, which required conclusive evidence, all the situations encountered in the work and all the decisions made were basically based on the model of having ideas first and then evidence.
It seems that the intelligence work is very unreliable, basically relying on the blind, but in fact, this is like a police detective, an experienced policeman, after a cursory tour of the existing information, will have a kind of "I think there will be gains in this direction to search", and then he will follow this line of thought, if you get clues or evidence, then the case will progress, otherwise, it will be deadlock- In fact, the so-called reasoning is actually the most probable prediction made based on the existing information, and in essence, there is really nothing surprising.
Of course, if you take the reasoning as reality, it is obviously an incompetent police officer.
In Phoebe's view, because the level of Titan involved is high enough, and the scope and number of people are large enough, Barbara's guess is a very valuable guess, although there is no evidence.
Even in Phoebe's view, if he were Murdoch and saw a rookie of an industrial capital group constantly encroaching on the media industry in various small countries, although on the surface they did not unite to form a new group that is likely to confront News Corporation, it is undeniable that Phoebe will also regard this group as the biggest enemy.
The most important thing is that when Phoebe actually entered the media of various countries, she adopted the same strategy as News Corp. - that is, after entering the upper echelon, the subsidiaries in various countries are all pro-country positions, just like although Phoebe asked Mira to run a program in China that scolds France and Germany, several websites or tabloids she acquired in France are on the side of France and Germany, and she scolds Mila in the air......
In fact, if you look at the position of News Corp's subsidiaries in various countries, you can know that in the political structure of each country, that position is the most dominant - for example, in the United States, Fox News, although News Corp. is a member of the financial capital forces, it is on the side of the Republican Party, and interestingly, NBC, which belongs to the camp of industrial capital, has adopted a neutral and Democratic position, but because NBC is an industrial capital group, Phoebe chose to cooperate with Universal from the beginning, rather than other media... …
That's right, although Universal Pictures is a famous film and television company infiltrated and controlled by Wall Street, Wall Street is indeed not exactly the territory of financial capital groups, and don't forget, everyone is both cooperative and fighting.
In any case, Phoebe thinks that Barbara's prediction is very reasonable, and she has shamelessly copied News Corp.'s regional development strategy when she is preparing local umbrellas and promotion channels for girls' generation in various countries, but so what? Capitalist plagiarism is not called plagiarism at all! That is called borrowing! That is called tribute! That is called ...... Whatever you say, anyway, capitalists have nothing to do with plagiarism!
The existence of capitalists is to create more wealth for the society and create more jobs for the people, so it is plagiarized...... Well, isn't there a lot of jobs?
But in any case, Phoebe understands that her own methods are indeed copying what others did back then, such as helping the mafia to incite public opinion and say good things in Italy, in exchange for the mafia's willingness to beat all rival journalists away, etc., which is actually the same as Titan's overreaction in Detroit - although the specific operation is different, the results are exactly the same.
And the reason why such large media groups can accurately judge the strength of the political power in the country they enter is just like Phoebe is taking refuge in the Republican Party in the United States, the official in China, and the ...... in South Korea Well, herself, it is entirely because the tentacles of the media industry are all over the society, and through their various social information, it is gradually possible to analyze which political forces in the country have the upper hand - this is not just an analysis of some superficial, recent phenomena, but a long-term analysis, and even the next generation......
Therefore, Titan's choice in various countries is highly consistent with News Corp., so even if Titan has been keeping a low profile and has not integrated various media forces to form a unified group company, News Corp. will be the first to discover Titan and follow its own old path.
In other words, Phoebe's approach makes it possible for Titan to replace News Corp., so it's not surprising that News Corp. has become more sensitive to Titan than other competitors.
But what about Phoebe, even News Corp. and Murdoch?
If News Corp. really has an advantage over Titan, on the first day when it perceives that Titan is following the old path of News Corporation, News Corp. can take action against Titan, and there is no need to wait until now, so in Phoebe's view, this is obviously News Corp. was forced to be helpless, and was even pushed out by financial capital forces as a touchstone to test Titan's current attitude.
So it's still the sentence above, even if it's News Corp., even if it's Murdoch, what can it do?
Phoebe thinks about it, although it seems to be a little troublesome at present, but Phoebe also knows that insiders believe that Girls' Generation is actually the real leader of Titan, that is, Miss Phoebe's little toy, so for this little toy, if everyone wants to bully, it is certain to annoy Phoebe, so bullying this little toy is definitely not something that the wise dome takes; , His previous reaction was excessive, at least at Murdoch's level, he knows how to quickly attract the attention of others, so creating some possible threats to Girls' Generation is probably Murdoch's means to get on the line with him quickly.
Back then, if Phoebe was stupid enough not to see it, she would have been rejected by everyone if she overreacted, and if she didn't react, it would also reduce the status she had earned so hard.
Upper-class games are always so subtle, but also deeply murderous.
What's even more interesting is that this has also led to a general "no friends" phenomenon among the upper classes, so most of the time, the upper classes can only associate with the upper classes, and in their opinion, even if they are dealing with people who are in a hostile position, it is better to associate with people who are not good at their brains – there is a saying in China that describes this mentality: playing chess with a stinky chess basket will stink more and more.
Of course, Phoebe knows very well that this is all based on the reaction of Murdoch or News Corp. to Titan's tentacles, and if it is purely Barbara's direct communication, it is just that the directors of Fox and Avatar are ready to deal with Titan by dealing with Girls' Generation based on the perspective of technological leadership and box office recovery, and things will be much more troublesome.
But in any case, Phoebe will not revoke her plan to use the lost in Girls' Generation's concerts, as I said before, Girls' Generation itself is not good in quality, and there is no creativity, so the courage to use new technology must be the first in the world, which is completely non-negotiable.
And this is also the reason why Phoebe has been pressuring partners in the field of civilian cooperation with the lost, and has not allowed them to start the business related to the lost system. As for the application of airports, financial institutions, transportation hubs, military and other aspects, it is not considered a civilian field, because it is not really open to free trading, and it is like a lost person system purchased by civilian facilities, which is not allowed to be resold, and the same rules used by the military and police, it is Titan who is responsible for maintaining and adjusting the content of the projection display - The Lost System used in these facilities is all about providing security personnel with a static projection of the nature of cover, so that they can shoot criminals at close range without realizing a vicious crime after discovering a vicious crime, so there is no need for Titan people to watch every day.
As for why they don't help security personnel arrest criminals like the police do, and whether criminals don't have human rights or something, on this point, Titan and the new Senate Select Committee established last year were indeed protested by the Senate Committee on Human Rights and Ideological Correction, which means that it is not good to kill people in front of the public, which will lead to the United States not being stable in its position when criticizing others on human rights, and the corrections committee was previously aimed at the Communist "property" during the Cold War With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the terms of reference of this committee are linked to the operators of private prisons, so they mean that those criminals are more meaningful to live than to die, especially those criminals who are sentenced to more than 30 years, are the most valuable, they come as much as they want, but in the past six months, the prison rate of felons such as bank robbers has been greatly reduced, and if you continue to look for this, the prisons will be empty, how can this work!? The United States is a world-renowned prison country!
For the intricacies of the situation, the incoming intelligence, Phoebe knows that some things are urgent, and some things must be prioritized to formulate a response policy, although Barbara's reminder is very significant, Phoebe also understands that in this matter, it is much better not to come up with other plans, because only in this way will there be a situation in which Barbara reminds herself, not because of her own plan, which causes Barbara's thinking direction to follow the plan, and she cannot give full play to her experience in the intelligence community for many years.
In fact, Phoebe has been creating an illusion to outsiders that Girlhood is actually her little toy, after all, if you really use all the influence of Titan to really push Girls' Generation, Girls' Generation can be pushed to a peak in a short period of time, perhaps this is unlikely in the middle of society, but Phoebe knows that many people in the upper class were weird about Phoebe joining Girls' Generation at first, after all, many people have had the experience of playing stars, and they became popular in a short time, and when they had enough, they were thrown back into the tide of competition, and they were left to fend for themselves, which can be said to abound。
But as time passed, everyone saw that Phoebe allowed Girls' Generation to move forward in small steps—although Phoebe had prepared a lot of plans to promote the development of Girls' Generation—so overall, it was different from the plaything that everyone used to play with.
Therefore, even Phoebe herself understands that the future stability of Girls' Generation is actually based on the outside world's belief that Girls' Generation is her Phoebe's toy, in other words, if Phoebe's performance is not to use Girls' Generation as a toy, but to develop as a career, Girls' Generation is the weakest target, and it is also the biggest weakness of Titan and even Onclaude, as well as the new circle in the middle and lower echelons of the diplomatic bloc, in that case, without even using Girls' Generation by external forces, those allies Phoebe found for Titan will tear Girls' Generation to shreds with their own hands。
Wild wolves still retain this habit, when they find that the hunter has blocked the nest, and there are young wolf cubs waiting to be fed in the nest, they will desperately bite all the wolf cubs, because these wolf cubs will become the bait for hunters to hunt down and tempt the wolves......
So, in any case, Phoebe knew that it was time to abandon her sisters again, just as she resolutely left them at the beginning of the year and went to South America to compete, and it can be said that it was after that time that all those in the know, including Titan, began to stop objecting to her mixing with Girlhood.
"For everyone's safety, sisters, you can be my toys......" Phoebe muttered silently in her heart......
