62 Retaliation
"Let's go, let's go back quickly, we can't let him beat him upside down."
Stroud was in a hurry, turned around and was about to run to the place where he had parked, ready to chase after Davy and the others.
"Wait."
Rodriguez grabbed him, his eyes flashing slightly: "Let's go help put out the fire, investigate the scene, find Norman Osborne, he will help us." β
"You mean, let Norman Osborne stand for us?"
Stroud reacted, immediately woke up, and his spirit perked up: "David set fire to the Horizon Lab, and completely confronted Osben, the enemy of the enemy is a friend......"
"We have a partnership with Osborne, and in the eyes of Norman Osborne, we are a great tool."
Unlike Stroud, Rodriguez always had a clear understanding of his situation.
"He'll be willing to help us!"
"Rod, it's good to have you...... Let's go back to Norman. β
Stroud immediately rushed into the building again.
Rodriguez looked at his back and sighed, feeling that this time the situation had never been more tricky.
While Norman would 100% help them both stand on the platform, sandwiched between Norman Osborne and David Fisk, do they really have room to survive?
Of course, compared with David's start-up Fisker Pharmaceutical, Osben is definitely a huge backer, but Rodriguez sees very clearly that David is by no means easy to match.
is more ruthless, David, who was born in the underworld, is probably more ruthless than anyone else.
"Ugh."
Rodriguez sighed.
At this point, they had no other choice.
It is impossible to raise your hand and surrender, and you can only choose to fight Davy to the end.
β¦β¦
The next day.
The news of Oscorp's stake in Horizon Labs didn't make a splash.
Even the fire in the Horizon Labs became a proper backdrop.
Tyberis Stone, the current head of Horizon Labs, said that the cause of the fire is under investigation and does not rule out the possibility that someone deliberately set it on fire.
However, no one cares about the cause of the fire at Horizon Labs.
The focus of everyone's attention is that the news that an assistant director of the New York branch of the FBI has verbally slandered and insulted ordinary civilians because of the fire incident has spread throughout New York.
The recording was publicly posted on the Internet, and even netizens outside New York City began to complain that the FBI was unprofessional.
The major community forums are full of discussion threads about Simon Stroud's malfeasance.
At the same time, major media in New York rushed to report that the FBI was scandalous.
Driven by the water army arranged by David, Stroud was successfully scolded by New York citizens for being on the "hot search".
Stroud's lungs were about to explode.
"Simon, I know you're hot-tempered, but I've reminded you countless times to be careful about the impact!!"
Pittman, director of the New York branch of the FBI, gritted his teeth: "Do you know how much face our New York branch has lost in today's news?" Do you think I don't have to take responsibility for this? β
"Director, I didn't expect that Davy guy to be so insidious!"
Stroud hung his head and couldn't help but retort.
"Bastard, don't you get it yet? It's not that the other party is insidious, it's that you're too stupid! β
Pittman took a deep breath and slapped the table hard: "You should be glad that someone intercedes for you, otherwise, Lao Tzu will immediately suspend you!" β
"Now, get out of my office! Don't pester David, the vampire murderer you investigated has nothing to do with David!! β
"Do what you have to do! Find Michael Morbius and arrest him! β
"I don't want to see you in the newspapers again for anything else!!"
Pitman finished speaking in one breath, waving Stroud out without giving him any chance to defend and interject.
Stroud left the director's office in a gloomy manner.
He knew very well that the head of the New York bureau and his immediate boss, Pittman, would at least be hidden for a while if it weren't for Norman Osborn's sake, if not to mention the suspension.
After all, it was because of Norman Osborne's statement that many media reacted and lowered the heat.
β¦β¦
Fisker Pharmaceuticals.
David watched the popularity of the online forum about Stroud drop, and his expression was calm.
Bell bell bell!
At this time, he received a phone call, looked at it, and the caller was none other than the head of the FBI New York Branch, Giles Pittman.
"Director Pittman, I understand you very well, it's not your problem...... Yes, Norman Osborne came forward, and we really should give him face......"
After Davy connected, he exchanged a few words and said with a smile: "By the way, when your wife was shopping in the mall today, she won a lottery ticket that can be exchanged for a grand prize of 200,000 yuan, congratulations...... Of course, no problem, which law prohibits FBI employees from buying lottery tickets? β
"I'll invite you to sea fishing when I have time, Moseley said you like fishing...... Ok bye. β
David hung up.
He didn't hold on, and that was the end of the operation against Stroud.
It's not that he is too lazy to deal with Stroud, but Norman Osborne has stepped in to guarantee it, and it will be difficult to carry this matter to the end.
Anyway, Stroud was never the key, and this lesson was enough for him to remember for a lifetime.
It is also acceptable to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the director of the FBI New York Branch.
At the same time, David realized a little thing that he had neglected before.
In this day and age, no one knows better about the new ways of playing the Internet than he does.
In the millennium, the Internet has just emerged, and its development has just entered the fast lane, far from reaching the peak of later generations.
The power of online public opinion is not yet well understood.
The most important thing is that netizens in the current period are still relatively simple and not as "sleek" as later generations.
With the rise of the Internet, traditional media is outdated.
The development of a water army can easily guide public opinion and replace the status of traditional media.
David groaned.
It stands to reason that the current outlet is the Internet, and which of those reborn novels in the previous life is not rooted in the Internet and then vertically developed in industry?
But David was not interested in Internet companies.
In the Marvel world, even if it is rooted in the Internet, what if you become the richest man?
Mastering core technology is the key.
The core technology of the Marvel world can be summed up in two words - violence.
Therefore, in line with the times, following the pace of Internet development, from now on, we will raise a group of high-quality water army, which is extremely cost-effective.
Besides, David doesn't have to raise it himself, he has ready-made manpower.
Let Pushkin's younger brother and Wilson's younger brother each go to major forums to register ten accounts and speak one by one, at least they can create the illusion of two million people on the Internet.
At that time, someone offended David, he waved his hand, the Internet army overwhelmed the border, broke the black material, and made up lies if it was a big deal, the three of them became tigers, who is not afraid?
The more David thought about it, the more interesting it became.
He immediately contacted AndrΓ© and Wilson to inform him of his thoughts.
The two didn't understand, but they were shocked.
Out of trust in David, coupled with David's sworn statement, the two felt quite funny.
Small investment, big return.
After discussion, it was decided to buy a newspaper and use it as the mouthpiece of the underworld, with David in charge of management.
Davy saw that the two of them were getting more and more energetic, and he didn't pay attention to it.
His focus now is not on newspapers and trolls, this is just a momentary divergent thinking.
Knock knock!
At this moment, Wesley pushed the door in, his face gloomy and suppressed anger, and came to David.
"What's wrong?"
David was curious.
"Osben's revenge is coming."
Wesley spoke in a solemn tone, slowly.
"Oh?"
David raised an eyebrow: "What's going on?" β
