Chapter 235: The Power of Hole Cards [2]
As the latest rising TV media owner, Link, a 'public figure' with multiple halos and a large number of loyal fans, the news of his shooting spread around the world almost instantly.
As we all know, the United States is a nation where all people own guns, and guns are so widespread in the United States that you can buy guns from supermarkets.
Although the U.S. government has set a number of strict requirements for citizens to own guns, in countries where gun ownership is legalized, "shootings" will always be a lingering shadow.
Four U.S. presidents alone are assassinated, not to mention the 20,000 civilians who die at gunpoint every year.
It's just that Link is not a civilian.
Civilians are shot in a big way, let alone Link's 'big shot'.
On the afternoon of Link's shooting, major television stations and reporting teams rushed to the scene and the New York Medical Center to report on the scene.
Fifth Avenue, behind the female reporter standing in front of the camera, is the towering Empire State Building.
"Hello audience, this is near Fifth Avenue in the Manhattan neighborhood. A few minutes ago, our station received news that Mr. Linke, the sole proprietor of CAA Media Group, was shot by unknown people here. According to the police, the shooting was fired by an illegal African immigrant, and the case is still under investigation. The police did not disclose much about Mr. Link's health problems, but it was confirmed by many sources that Link only suffered some minor injuries. Mr. Jack, CEO of CAA Media Group, who was in the same car as Link, is seriously injured and is still in the intensive care unit......"
The news was reported just before going to work in the afternoon. Many people who were dining saw this report.
Link's loyalists, in particular, have already made a large number of calls to the help desk of CAA Media Group after seeing the news. Ask Link about his safety.
Similarly, the print media group is also keenly aware that there is a huge 'news point' in Link's shooting.
The gun problem is a major 'ill' of the United States! There are so many issues involved. In addition, this time it was actually Link, who had always given people the impression of 'babaylin', and a large number of print media groups began to carry out large-scale reports and speculations on the matter.
Because the shooting was released in New York, and right under the nose of the New York Times. The speed at which they reacted was not unspeakable.
In just over an hour, the New York Times launched a 'special issue' with the headline reading: "Link was shot in the middle of the incident. It reflects the biggest 'cancer' in the whole United States. ”
This 'special issue' is indexed throughout Link's shooting, and then begins to draw on the extent of the proliferation of guns in the United States, and the huge social problems caused by the United States.
All media people are not fools, and no one really cares about the 'gun proliferation'. All they want is enough controversy.
There was a controversy. Newspapers sell.
All of a sudden, whether to reduce the number of guns owned by the American people and whether to gradually ban guns has become the focus of public opinion in this society.
Link has once again become the 'darling' of major media outlets, and his name has continued to appear on mastheads and television, becoming the most talked about person in all of North America.
Link, who was on the cusp again, was completely silent at this time, and he refused all media requests for interviews. Concentrate on arranging his 'revenge' plan.
Although only a few hours have passed since the shooting. However, Link completely ignored the dissuasion of the doctors and nurses, and went straight to the busy work with a bandage on his head.
In the conference room, Link kept giving orders.
"The team of the African branch will leave tonight. I don't care what method you use, and I don't care how much you spend. Within a month, the first CAA branch must be established. ”
Seeing that the little boss was so anxious, Lu Si couldn't sit still: "Little boss, even if we can set up an African branch in a month, there are not so many TV sets in Africa." Everyone knows the situation in Africa, especially North Africa, which is the most chaotic, where do I find so many families with televisions? ”
"Wrong! Miss by a mile! Link shook his head expressionlessly: "The African branch is not for those civilians, but for the upper class of the entire North Africa." The warlords, the plutocracy, the forces concerned about the North African form, they are our audience. ”
Seeing that Rust was going to continue to ask questions, Link waved his hand directly: "No need to say more, you just need to do what I say." ”
The people in the entire conference room couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh bitterly, the iron fist of the little boss was about to be used again.
When most of the top staff left, Link was left alone.
"How's our 'All Entertainment' program going?"
Link suddenly brought up the topic.
Lust asked the secretary to find a document and handed it to Link.
Link nodded lightly and waved his hand to let the other man go.
When he was the only one in the room, Link's eyes kept looking at the document one by one.
"One newspaper with a circulation of more than one million copies, six gossip tabloids, and gossip magazines......"
It wasn't until Link had read through the entire document that he slowly raised his head.
"Since you want to take revenge, then take these inconspicuous things and develop them well."
Gradually, Link set his sights on the second-rate newspaper called Reflection. The newspaper has only just reached a million copies, and it may not even be second-rate. This is still Link's impromptu idea some time ago, in the process of building momentum for himself, incidentally wrote a few hype articles for it, if it weren't for this, this newspaper would not even be a third-rate tabloid.
However, this time, adhering to the principle that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, he needs the print media to stand up and build momentum for his revenge plan anyway, and the 'big news' in his heart is of course left to his own newspaper.
By the end of the evening, Link had already received Julianne. Assange's message, which he claimed and completed the production of the WikiLeaks website, has now been successfully launched.
Link directly opened the URL sent by the other party, and a simple website appeared in his sight.
At the top of the website is a sentence written: "Decipher the ugliness of the world and let you see the real facts behind the events!" ”
Link's gaze stayed on this sentence for more than a minute, and this time he couldn't help but smile faintly: "When the ugliness of the world can be selectively deciphered, what truth is there in this?" ”
Although for Julianne. Link doesn't have a good impression of Assange, but he doesn't want to leave too much leverage on his enemies.
"So, you still have to carry the black cauldron, and it won't be in vain for the 100 million I gave you."
Link tapped on the keyboard again and sent Julianne a message: "Send what I want, 100 million is yours." ”
After sending this message, Link refreshed the page again and found that there was an additional article on the page, with the title "In the coming month, the international diamond market will usher in earth-shaking changes." The WikiLeaks website has been successfully launched, and the first major revelation is underway. ”
When he saw the decryption article being published, Link looked up. Looking through the huge glass walls of the CEO's office, he saw a large number of employees looking at him.
Link lit a cigarette and nodded slightly.
Suddenly, a large number of employees began to struggle to type on the keyboard. A new wave of cyber bombardment has started again.
……
Alaska is still cold, and in the vast European-style castle, Hedley gently wiped the valuable European medieval knight heavy armor in front of him while listening to the report of the person behind him.
"Patriarch, Link is not dead."
The movements of Hedley's hands were still slow, and even his tone became very slight: "Don't you tell me, don't I know how to watch the news?" ”
The person behind him wiped the cold sweat on his forehead slightly, although he was also a member of the Dio family, he also understood the long-standing form and style of the Dio family. This time things didn't work out, and of course he would be scared.
"Anything else?" After a long time, Hedley broke the silence this time.
The man nodded slightly and said, "Since last night, our people suddenly discovered that there seems to be a group of people spreading the news of 'sitting long' on international diamonds. Behind this incident, there should be some capital making trouble. ”
"Let them toss around, only the hapless ones are listening to this kind of news." Headrey snorted faintly: "At present, the economic crisis in the United States and the beginning of a gradual global impact will inevitably lead to currency depreciation, and hard currencies such as gold and diamonds are bound to rise sharply. As long as you have a little discernment, you will understand. ”
Headrey walked to a table with a metal box, gently took out the still glowing knight's sword placed inside, and slowly wiped it with care.
"Leave them alone, as long as our Dior family continues to control the diamond mines in North Africa, we will not be affected in the slightest by how others 'sit' more international diamonds."
"Understood." The man standing behind Hydray nodded respectfully: "The diamond mines we control in Africa are now producing and reaching a critical point, and they almost take up most of the family's funds. You see...... Isn't it time for us to do some of it? ”
Hydley suddenly turned around and glanced at the other man with a majestic gaze, which frightened the man on the spot.
"If you ask this idiotic question next time, I'll let you dig for diamonds in Africa for the rest of your life." (To be continued......)
