Chapter 107: Boiling Public Opinion
Eventually, word got out about Chicago.
The world is actually a wall that leaks everywhere, no brick can be completely built, there is always a pair of ill-intentioned eyes hiding behind the cracks in the wall and peeping secretly, hoping to get the secret.
Chicago is an important city in the United States, both domestically and internationally, Chicago is very well-known, so everything here will get people's attention, let alone such an amazing thing.
The MagnificentMile went on strike.
The news spread like a migratory bird into the distance, and neither the mayor of Chicago in politics nor Morgan in business could prevent it from happening. After all, it is no longer the era of relying on messengers and carrier pigeons to communicate, all kinds of science and technology are developed, and a normal person only needs an instant to think of at least three or more large-scale information dissemination methods.
As long as you have a functioning phone and it's fully charged, then all of this can be achieved with ease.
In fact, citizens in other parts of the United States first heard the news on television, and when they heard the news of the Chicago strike, they put down their knives, forks and wine glasses and watched the news on television with great interest.
It's so much fun!
It is normal for them to parade in the streets and demonstrate, almost once or twice a month, and even a sit-in in front of the White House is not impossible. But such a large-scale strike is all too rare! In fact, people rarely use this extreme method, because it will cause a lot of economic losses, and ordinary people cannot afford or are unwilling to afford it. Therefore, the news of a strike is still very rare.
What's more, the protagonist this time is still Morgan! Foreigners in the new era may not know much about the glory of this family, but they are Americans. Their textbooks and the inspirational success books on the shelves of bookstores are a big compliment to this large family. Their parents and grandparents would also tell them about the prestige of the Morgan family before World War II.
Americans grew up listening to the legends of the Morgan family.
And now after they learned the news of the Morgan family's embarrassment, their first reaction was not to feel sad for them, but to be faintly excited! This involves the despicability of human beings, and when they see that those people or families who used to be high above suddenly suffer setbacks, although they will not be the beneficiaries, they will still be inexplicably happy in their hearts.
Being able to see people on the clouds fall to the dust is also one of the joys of mortals. The wives and daughters of the convicts who were relegated to the department of the church were always visited by many people, many of whom were even subordinates of the convicts - they came here in search of a vile thrill.
It is unlucky to see someone who is superior to yourself. There will always be an inexplicable coolness.
So after eating lunch, these people happily went to the computer, opened news websites and social networking sites, and began to gloat loudly, and countless jokers temporarily released countless fresh jokes for the majority of netizens to enthusiastically forward and comment.
It's just so dramatic!
They also saw the news of Morgan's acquisition of The MagnificentMile a few days ago, and even a special interview with Chicago city officials, which was very beautiful! Commentators have said it was a sign of Morgan's resurgence and re-establishment of his business empire, and there was even speculation about the positive impact it would have on the US economy. They followed suit. In my heart, I should think of the greatness of the Morgan family.
And how long has it been now, how many days have passed? Is the situation so drastic? The emperor of the Western Roman Empire did not rout so quickly under the iron hooves of Attila, the king of the Huns! One second it was still full of flowers, and the next second it was freezing and people went to the empty building, which was a big loss!
Morgan gets slapped hard by someone in front of the whole world.
In fact, the comments and wanton ridicule of some netizens can only play a role in fueling the flames. It was the news media that really set off a storm of public opinion, which had worked closely with Morgan some time ago.
They swept Morgan's face into the dumpster.

……
Chicago Daily News -- Is the Gorgeous Mile Turning into a Barren Mile the Fault of Government Incompetence, or Is it the Fault of Morgan's Greed?
The American People's - The People's Strike. Is it a symbol of the country's continued economic decline, or is it a sign of Morgan's weakness?
The Illinois Post – The Legend Comes to an End at The MagnificentMile. We should remember it with a respectful heart.
The Westpac - The disgraced Morgan.

One by one, social commentators also appeared on television and talked nonsense as guest guests.
The famous critic Mr. Hoover said on the news. "This is a failure of Morgan, a failure of Chicago, and a failure of the United States! God forbid, hopefully Chicago doesn't become a second Detroit. ”
Detroit is a city with tragic overtones. This city, which was built on the automobile industry, was once a beautiful city and was the pyramid of the automobile industry. However, not long ago, under the attack of the financial turmoil, this glorious city for hundreds of years actually filed a bankruptcy application with a federal judge in the United States, becoming the largest bankruptcy city in American history.
Mr. Hoover, a well-known critic today, publicly warned on television that Chicago should not become a second Detroit, which means that Chicago is likely to become a second Detroit. With the venerable Mr. Hoover warning on the television screen, Chicago's reputation as the second Detroit spread and became the nickname of the latest generation of Chicago.
It's just that no one saw that Mr. Hoover, who seemed to be reasonable in the news, still had a check worth a million dollars hidden in his suit pocket, and he didn't know who gave it, but it seemed a bit like Duanmu's family......
Public opinion is rapidly fermenting, and the trend is becoming more and more turbulent, this trend makes Flender alarmed, he knows very well that this is no longer the spontaneous behavior of the media and netizens, there are definitely people in this who are fueling the troubles, and there is definitely more than one murderer!
The Duanmu family, as the protagonist and culprit of this matter, is of course one of the murderers, but it is only one of them. Those chaebols who also have friction and competition with Morgan are probably not sitting idly by, such as the bastard family of Rockefeller! In addition to the business world, there are definitely people in the political field who are also making a move.
The election is coming soon, and the position of mayor of Chicago is coveted by many people! Even if it's a small councillor, they want to give it a try, but the current mayor Jerome's cards are too good for them to beat. I thought there was no hope, but suddenly something like this happened, and they couldn't push it even if they didn't want to.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, it has been the same since ancient times, and no one can blame anyone......
While Chicago Mayor Jerome was languishing his explanations to the governor of Illinois in his office, Morgan's now in power, Flender, was furious, throwing away the newspaper in his hand and letting out a low roar from his mouth.
"Knock-knock!" Someone is knocking on the door.
"Get out!" Flender shouted at the door, "I don't see anyone, tell them, the meeting is canceled!" ”
This roar was very effective, and there was silence outside the door for a while, and it seemed that the knocker had left, and just as Flender lowered his head and was about to clean up the messy office, who knew that the door opened by itself, and even knocking was omitted!
Flender was packing up the materials on his desk, but he heard someone come in without even knocking on the door, and he was furious, and when he wanted to look up to see who was so ignorant, his hand suddenly stopped, and he couldn't make a sound, as if he was very surprised.
"Hello, Mr. Flender." Duanmuci's smile was very beautiful, like the sunshine outside the window, and he gestured to the greeting gift in his hand, "I think we can have a drink, the best Scotch whisky." (To be continued......)
