Chapter 54: Shameful Hype (continued)
Chen Lin was about to go to Guangzhou to buy some gifts for Lily when he returned, he left Yu Yu's office to visit Lily next door, and asked her what she liked, and as soon as he walked the door, he saw Lily sitting on the table reading a letter.
"Lily, what are you reading?" Chen Lin walked over and asked, and when the little girl saw Chen Lin coming, she quickly stood up and unconsciously hid the letter behind her.
"It's nothing, it's a letter from my classmate." Lily pretended to be nothing.
"Really?" Chen Lin saw her hiding the letter, and thought to himself that this girl should not be reading love letters, right? I couldn't help but ask with an eyebrow: "Is it a love letter?" Show me. ”
"No, it's all said it's a classmate's letter." Lily denied it, but her face turned red shyly, which made Chen Lin say it.
"Good! You see your face is red, and you say no, show me the letter, which boy wrote it? What is written? Saying that, Chen Lin stretched out his hand to ask for it, and at the same time, his expression became serious.
"This is my private letter, and I won't show it to you." Lily refused, and she raced the letter into her pocket, covering it tightly with one hand.
"I'm your cousin, why can't I see it? Obediently take out the letter and show it to me. Chen Lin asked again, Lily pouted and still didn't give it, Chen Lin's face sank when he saw this, and he yelled sternly: "Uncle and aunt are not allowed to talk about your boyfriend until you are 20 years old, and you want me to take care of you, you also promised to listen to your cousin before you go out, why are your wings stiff, my words are not good?" ”
"Cousin, you're unreasonable." Lily was aggrieved, and her eyes were red by Chen Lin's roar
"Alright!" Seeing this, Chen Lin's heart softened, and coaxed: "Doesn't my cousin care about you?" You're still young, I'm afraid you'll be deceived. ”
"Humph! I'm 18 years old, so I'm already an adult. Lily snorted, her eyes still red, and the grievances had not yet passed.
Seeing this, Chen Lin hurriedly said that he wanted to buy a gift for her, which made her laugh, and then he said that he had three chapters of the law, agreeing that she would exchange with the boy but let him take a look at it first, check it, and stipulate that he must report when he goes out, and he is not allowed to go out at night.
The little girl originally disagreed, but under the temptation of Chen Lin promising to buy her a set of high-end cosmetics for Sister Yu and a mobile phone, she signed this series of unequal treaties.
Chen Lin went home with a bitter face, although he got the little girl, but the price was very big, "A set of cosmetics used by Yu'er costs 10,000, and the mobile phone costs 9,800, adding up to 27,008, my day, I'm going to bleed a lot now." Chen Lin was still counting accounts with his fingers when he sat in the car.
After the last sigh, Chen Lin sighed, he is going to pay money to Yu'er again this month, it's a shame to say, he is a dignified deputy general manager and asks women for money every month.
Yu Yu has doubled his salary, his current monthly salary is 10,002, not including telephone, car subsidy, 97 years of this salary is already a huge amount of money, but this guy gives him as much as he wants, how much he uses, most of his expenses are to invite guests to dinner, sometimes watching the workers work overtime will take out five or six hundred yuan to eat supper, and he will basically pay the money first when he drinks and gathers with Mr. He and others.
His prestige in the "Happy Camp" column group is growing, and in addition to being accepted by everyone, it is also somewhat inseparable from his generosity and cheerfulness.
Just when Chen Lin went home with a bitter face and packed his luggage and flew to Guangzhou in the afternoon, in the office of a high-rise building in Guangzhou, Zhang Daodao, the owner of the "Xiangjiang Morning Post", and Liao Mingming, the editor-in-chief, were discussing the matter of using the "Happy Camp" to hype.
"Wise brother, do you think it's okay for us to fabricate fake news like this? What if someone really wants to sue us? Zhang Daode said worriedly, his eyes fluttered to show the melancholy in his heart, he was an expert in how much proportion of water to make fake wine, but the news media was a layman in his eyes.
really let Chen Lin say that Zhang Daode made a fortune by selling fake wine, and this guy is also a little clever and knows that this illegal business will capsize sooner or later after a long time, so he began to consider changing careers last year, and happened to meet Liao Mingming, and the two smelled like each other, and under the encouragement of Liao Mingming, they started this small newspaper.
"Mr. Zhang, you put 10,000 hearts, it is very common for us to hype up in this industry, what is this kind of small battle, in Hong Kong * Hong Kong, I dare to break out what underwear the governor is wearing today." Liao Zhizhi boasted.
"I know the ability of my brother Dao, but this is the mainland, and the TV station has a government backstage, what if you are determined to sue us?" Zhang Daode is still not at ease, he still understands the truth that the people do not fight with the officials.
"Even if they sue us, it's fine." Liao Zhizhi rolled his eyes and smiled: "Brother Daodao, to be honest, I still wish they would sue?" ”
"Oh, what's this for?" Zhang Daode said curiously.
"Even if they sue us, what will they sue us? Sue defamation? Or create fake news? At that time, we just need to find a reporter to blame him, and we don't know about it, so it's a big deal that we apologize, admit our mistakes, and be willing to pay a fine. Liao Zhizhi said while paying attention to Zhang Daodao's eyes, seeing that his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, so he continued: "Compared with these losses to the benefits we have obtained, as long as there is a lawsuit, the media will definitely pay attention to us, and the fame of our newspaper will be greater, and the benefits of fame will needless to say, you see if our advertising performance this month has doubled compared with last month!" ”
"I'm really right, brother, you are really talented, if I hadn't heard you say this, I really didn't know that there are so many ways in Lu Dao, and our newspapers will rely on my brother in the future." Zhang Daode smiled and complimented.
"Well said, well said." Liao Mingzhi was modest, and then he smiled and deliberately asked: "At that time, the fine will not be less than 3-50,000 yuan, Mr. Zhang, you won't be able to pay this fine, right?" ”
"Ha Luha, brother, you are so humorous" Zhang Daode laughed loudly when he heard this, thinking that he would go to Macau to play once and just eat and drink more than this amount, which is a drizzle.
Liao Mingming also laughed with Da Lu, so the two villains laughed together in the office
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liao Mingming was about to get off work when he received a text message, he opened his mobile phone and saw that the text message read: "At 7 o'clock in the evening, Block 108, Area A, 'Fangsuo Bookstore', on the 1st floor of Taikoo Hui in Tianhe, Guangzhou, Mr. Chen. ”
Liao Mingzhi smiled as soon as he saw the words "Happy Camp", ha, said that Cao Cao Cao Cao was here, and he was still discussing with Zhang Daode just now whether to try to contact the base camp. It seems that the media people in the mainland are not all dirt buns, and they also know these routines.
He is not surprised, everyone in Hong Kong understands these unspoken rules, Gossip Weekly just exposed the privacy of a certain star on the night there was a mysterious person to talk about cooperation, in fact, many celebrities' privacy is provided to the weekly by themselves, and then put on a farce to increase exposure, the general public is also happy to see this kind of farce.
Liao wisely happily changed into a set of casual clothes and rushed to the appointment to meet this Mr. Chen.
Fang Suo Bookstore is a bookstore that integrates bookstores, aesthetic life, coffee, exhibition space and clothing, etc., Liao Zhizhi walked into the bookstore, found Block 108 in Area A, and saw a young man about 20 years old sitting there.
Liao Zhizhi took out his mobile phone and looked at the text message again, that's right, it was written on Block 108, Area A, Fangsuo Bookstore in Tianhe, he looked at the time again, isn't it already 7 o'clock, and Mr. Chen hasn't come yet?
"Editor-in-Chief Liao, I am the Mr. Chen you are looking for, please take a seat." Liao Mingming was looking around in confusion when the young man spoke.
"Ahh I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so young. Liao Zhizhi looked at Chen Lin with a surprised expression, yes, the young man was Chen Lin.
Chen Lin smiled and didn't answer, he beckoned the waiter to serve a pot of coffee, Liao Mingzhi sat down for a while before believing that the young Chen Lin in front of him was the one who sent him a text message.
"Mr. Chen" Liao Mingming was about to speak when Chen Lin interrupted.
"Mr. Liao Mingming, I am here today to sue you that the "Xiangjiang Morning Post" deliberately fabricated false news and slandered the image of our program on behalf of the "Happy Camp" program, and asked you to immediately stop this slanderous behavior and make a sincere apology to our program." Chen Lingang was still smiling, and his face changed instantly at this moment, and he said righteously.
Liao Mingzhi smiled slightly, took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and then looked at Chen Lin and said indifferently: "If Mr. Chen wants to sue, he won't sit here!" ”
Chen Lin was noncommittal and took a sip of coffee, if the other party was moved by the deliberate threat he just said, he would turn around and leave, it seems that the other party is an old man, and there is no need to be tricky.
"In that case, let's talk about cooperation." Chen Lin put the cup in his hand and said lightly.
"Ha Luha, I like to talk to smart people like Mr. Chen." Liao Zhizhi said with a smile: "You provide information, we provide high-quality solutions to cooperate with your column exposure and hype, we have a win-win situation, a fixed price of 100,000." ”
"Article 274 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China: Where public or private property is extorted and the amount is relatively large, a sentence of up to three years imprisonment, short-term detention or controlled release is to be given; where the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, a sentence of between three and ten years imprisonment is to be given. Chen Lin suddenly popularized the crime of extortion to Liao Mingzhi, and then said indifferently: "Editor-in-chief Liao, 100,000 is enough for a huge amount." ”
"Mr. Chen, don't be kidding, I can't stand being scared." Liao Mingming smiled and continued: "This is not a large number, we are the top in making decisions in this industry, and we are the ability of small newspapers to take risks."
"30,000." Chen Lin interrupted the other party's words again, and said categorically: "Let's talk about this number." ”
Liao Zhiming's face changed and he was about to say '30,000 is less', Chen Lin asked him to accept this condition in another sentence, and Chen Lin said lightly: "We can choose to be silent and ignore." ”
Yes, if you don't respond, silence is often one of the most effective ways to deal with these hypes and rumors, if "Happy Camp" doesn't respond to them, or everyone will lose interest in their newspaper news in a few days, and then it won't be a bamboo basket for nothing.
Later, Liao Mingzhi took the envelope handed to him by Chen Lin and left, which contained 30,000 cash and some internal information of "Happy Camp".
Chen Lin sat in his seat and smiled slightly after watching Liao Mingzhi leave, took out his mobile phone and pressed the play recording button, and a recording was played, "Mr. Liao Mingming, I came today to represent the "Happy Camp" program to make a price of 100,000 yuan."
The conversation just now has been recorded clearly, and the reason why he recorded it is just a precautionary measure, dealing with people like Liao Mingming to prevent the other party from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge at any time.
Chen Lin turned off the recording, got up and checked out and left the bookstore.
