Chapter 473: Public Opinion Position
Liu Zhengyi nodded, seemed very satisfied with Lu Chong's answer, took a sip of the teacup and said: "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to break the diplomatic deadlock, we used ping-pong diplomacy and achieved good results. You now have a strong influence in Europe and the United States, and you hope to be able to contribute to your country as well. ”
"However, I hope that in this process, you will remember your identity as a party member, but not be influenced by those bourgeois liberal ideas. ”
Lu Chong chuckled and said: "Please rest assured that Liu Xiang, I am a native of Huaguo, and I will always be; I am a party member, and I will always be!
This sentence came from Lu Chong's heart.
Even when he knew that Huaguo's 'Alien' organization could not give him too much help for revenge due to political reasons, Lu Chong never considered David Martin's proposal, nor did he consider revenge with the power of the "Superman Clan".
Whether it is brainwashing or faith, since joining the army, he and his comrades-in-arms have vowed to give all their strength to this country.
Now that the comrades-in-arms no longer have this opportunity, Lu Chong is willing to continue to complete the uncontested cause for them with his own strength and protect the country!
Liu Zhengyi stared at Lu Chong's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to see through his heart from his expression.
Lu Chong calmly looked at Liu Zhengyi with a firm expression.
"AS FAR AS I KNOW, YOU'VE INVESTED IN A COMPANY CALLED 'FACEBOOK' IN THE UNITED STATES, AND ITS BUSINESS SCOPE IS NOT EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE MICROBLOGGING YOU WANT TO START, BUT IT HAS SOME THINGS IN COMMON. ARE YOU INFLUENCED BY THE CONCEPT OF 'FACEBOOK' THAT YOU WANT TO LAUNCH THIS MICROBLOG?"
After several temptations, Liu Zhengyi finally turned the topic to today's topic.
LU CHONG SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAID: "IN FACT, IT SHOULD BE SAID THAT 'FACEBOOK' WAS INFLUENCED BY MY PHILOSOPHY, AND THE REASON WHY I WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INVEST IN 'FACEBOOK' IS PRECISELY BECAUSE SOME OF THE CONCEPTS I PUT FORWARD WERE RECOGNIZED BY ITS FOUNDERS." ”
"As for Weibo, I started preparing for it before the United States, and the reason why I was in a hurry to get it online was to launch it before Western countries to gain the initiative. ”
Liu Zhengyi nodded, judging from the time, Lu Chong's preparation for the establishment of the Weibo company was indeed before his visit to the United States.
"Let's talk about your opinion on Weibo, I noticed that you mentioned the word self-media in the material. Everybody has their own media, freedom of speech?"
Although Lu Chong had clearly stated his views in the submitted materials, Liu Zhengyi wanted to hear him talk about it in person.
Words are the result of a lot of deliberation, while conversations are improvised, and many times, people will inadvertently reveal their true thoughts from conversations.
Lu Chong noticed that when Liu Zhengyi said the words "freedom of speech", he frowned slightly. However, he was not ready to avoid talking about it, he came over this time to let Liu Zhengyi feel relieved.
"Unfettered freedom is the beginning of evil. Although theoretically everyone has their own media and is free to express themselves in any way, we have established a complete system of rules and regulations for this. ”
"First of all, we will implement a real-name system, which is not mandatory, but for users who have passed real-name authentication, we will give more attention and resource tilt, so that their voices can be heard by more people. ”
"Secondly, for sensitive speech, we will establish a complete set of monitoring and guidance mechanisms, and will never let a platform for communication and information circulation become an ideological battlefield!"
"There are many more similar regulations and mechanisms, so I won't list them all. But what I want to point out in particular is that only when we take the lead in launching this self-media situation, we have the right to make rules. If we wait for others to make the rules and then we get involved, we will end up accepting the rules that others have made!"
When Liu Zhengyi heard this, he frowned and interjected: "You mean to say that the appearance of Weibo is inevitable?"
"Of course, this is a trend that will inevitably come with the development of technology, even if I don't launch Weibo, or even mention this idea, in less than two years, such a model will definitely be launched by others. ”
"The name may change, but the form and essence will not change. But by that time, they had already formulated a set of rules that suited their interests, and even if we forcibly changed the rules administratively, netizens would be dissatisfied with the situation. ”
This is the history that has already happened in the previous life, and Lu Chong said it very firmly.
Liu Zhengyi pondered for a while before saying: "You young people have a saying, behind the Internet, no one knows that you are a dog, although vulgar, but there is a certain truth. As soon as this Weibo is opened, I am afraid that the mud and sand will fall, and it will give those careerists and hostile forces an opportunity to take advantage of!"
Lu Chong is a person who has fought a tough battle, and he is very clear about the undercurrent under the surface of peace between countries, and Liu Zhengyi does not go around in circles with him, and directly uses the words hostile forces.
"Liu Xiang, when we are fighting, the most confident thing is in our own territory. Maps, logistics, and support can all be maximized. And when you go abroad, you are alone, even if you are an elite soldier in a hundred battles, you will inevitably be a little bottomless in your heart. ”
"That's the home advantage, it's the same online, and it's even more obvious. The rules are set by us, the management power is in our hands, and even the server is ours, such a public opinion platform, are we still afraid that someone will come to provoke us?"
Lu Chong said very obviously, when necessary, even if technical means are used, he will hold the position of public opinion. For him, who controls the Weibo platform, this is indeed something that can be done at any time.
Liu Zhengyi pondered for a moment, raised his head and said to Lu Chong: "This company can never be purely private, can you accept this?"
For China, which is accustomed to holding the right to speak in the media, this is almost an inevitable result.
Lu Chong has long been mentally prepared for this, he originally just wanted to enhance his influence through Weibo, not to create an independent media kingdom, but he has no opinion on this.
"No problem, but I can only monitor, I can't participate in management, I need to have a controlling stake in the company!"
Just kidding, if you don't limit this, with Lu Chong's economic strength, after Weibo's influence begins to develop, it will be diluted to the point of losing control in minutes.
"Wait for my news!" Liu Zhengyi did not immediately give a positive answer, stood up and stretched out his hand to Lu Chong, which also meant that the conversation was officially ended.
