"Huge gold mine discovered in the Evend area! The reserves are more than three domestic gold mines! ”

"Charity projects? Fortune Project! ”

"30 billion for 100 billion? Earn big! ”

"The Gauteng high-speed rail and Evind mine projects are expected to bring more than 10 billion US dollars of foreign exchange income to China within 10 years, excellent foresight!"

After the situation of the Evander-White River mine broke out, not only in China, but also in the whole world, all the forces that followed this incident can be said to have dropped their jaws.

Even South African officials did not expect that the gold reserves there would be so abundant.

Repentance – that's pretty much their first reaction.

But they soon came to their senses, and it was even more difficult for South Africa to develop it on its own in that mountainous area with complex terrain.

It's better to honestly let Huaxia develop and collect the dividends of taxes by yourself.

So, the matter was resolved in a near-perfect way.

South African officials have received more infrastructure investment in addition to the Gauteng high-speed rail project, local people in South Africa have received new markets and jobs, and the country's gradually expanding excess capacity has its first export.

After all, the core of real public opinion is actually questioning the official for spending unjustly money.

It's like a family, if life is already difficult, and the head of the family still takes the money out to invest indiscriminately, any member of the family can't help but complain.

But what if he did make his money back?

Now the situation is that he has not only made his money back, but he has also made a lot of money, enough to gag everyone's mouth.

As a result, those accusations and invectives disappeared all at once.

In its place, there was a waft of touting voices.

"I said a long time ago, the official can't be more stupid than us ordinary people, can't they think of anything we can think of?"

"Someone was slapped in the face again this time, I know who it is, but I won't say it."

"In any case, the project is successful, and it can be regarded as a sigh of relief."

"Yes, it's good for us to be able to get out of here. However, should the domestic problems also be solved? ”

"It'll be solved, if you have money, what's not going to be easy?"

As public opinion continued to ferment, the fanatical mood was gradually suppressed, and then transformed into a rational discussion of real problems.

Of course, such a discussion does not mean a convergence of opinions, and the sharpness and opposition of contradictions make it impossible for most people's butts to be in the same place.

But even in this case, there is a noticeable reduction in name-calling and attacks.

For the first time in history, there has been an atmosphere on the domestic Internet in which the pros and cons are highly opposed, but they are all trying to convince people with reason.

This situation not only made those forces that were still trying to add fuel to the fire completely unable to start, but even Li Xiang and his department, who had participated in the whole process of guiding public opinion, were completely confused.

In the Western University of Technology, Li Xiang scratched his head and looked at the screen in front of him, and said to Chen Nian on the side in disbelief:

"For the first time, I felt that my job was so simple. Why do you say that? ”

Chen Nian smiled, he knew the current situation too well.

It's nothing more than that after being slapped in the face once, everyone will subconsciously recall the experience of slapping their faces in the process of discussion, so their speeches are more restrained.

To put it in a less accurate word, it's "the sage time of the trolls".

However, the time of such a sage is limited and short-lived, and it will not be long before extreme emotions will return.

So, he spoke:

"It's just sage time."

"Don't look at the current environment, you can go and see it in a few days, and you will soon regain the familiar taste."

"Okay."

Li Xiang sighed helplessly, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"I had an idea lately."

"I think that the popularity of the Internet is getting higher and higher, and the speed of public opinion is sinking faster and faster, and one day in the future, it is likely that it will not be the mainstream media that dominates public opinion, but individuals who gather spontaneously."

"In this case, we should change our thinking."

"Netizen education is one aspect-—— you are already doing this aspect, but I think you need to prepare for another aspect."

"That is, to find an outlet for these public opinions."

"We should build a platform, a platform where we can really express our opinions."

"Then, through guidance, the mainstream agenda in society will be concentrated on this platform for discussion."

"In this way, we can not only ensure the orderliness of the entire Internet public opinion, but also serve as a reference for our subsequent specific policies."

"You mean an online platform?"

Chen Nian asked curiously.

"Pretty much, but a little bit broader."

Chen Nian nodded slightly, but did not answer immediately.

He was able to understand the foothold of Li Xiang's suggestion.

In fact, judging from his memories of his previous life, this is an excellent and forward-looking solution.

After all, it is better to block than to slacken, and what can really further optimize the public opinion environment is not to restrict speech, but to allow them to speak reasonably on an open platform.

Of course, how to operate and how to avoid making this platform with a large sphere of influence become a new position for external forces requires further discussion and planning.

So, Chen Nian opened his mouth and said:

"I think you can discuss this issue with the leader over there, it's not my specialty, and I can't give any advice."

"All I can tell you is that it's a good route, but it's not that easy to do."

Chen Nian was telling the truth.

In fact, in the last life, the official tried to establish similar platforms several times, but in the end, under the tide of pan-entertainment, most of the public opinion supervision functions of these platforms were overwhelmed by other social media.

Ordinary netizens would rather choose to speak out on the platform called "men's and women's toilets" than go to the official platform to report the problem.

This may be an instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but on the other hand, it may also be a vicious circle of slippery trust.

It would undoubtedly be a great thing if this vicious circle could be broken.

However, to what extent it can be achieved depends on the ability of Li Xiang's group of people

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Li Xiang nodded solemnly, and then said:

"Anyway, let's try it first."

"Set up a framework and let everyone talk first."

"It's really not good, I will control it manually at the beginning, and then consider using other methods when it slowly develops."

"Yes, go ahead and do it!"

Chen Nian replied with a smile.

But Li Xiang's face was full of solemn expressions.

In his heart, perhaps this will be the first step in his ambitious career

On the other side, settle in the village.

With the blessing of many large-scale construction machinery and sufficient financial budget, the rural road leading to the outside world in Luojiao Village was opened to traffic in just a few months.

After soliciting the opinions of the villagers, he took out all the funds that were originally raised to repair the road, and set up the first telephone line, the first network line, and the first computer in the village.

At this time, in remote areas, the dial-up method of Internet access has not been eliminated, although the network speed is a little slower, but it can still be used after all.

Now, the village is finally fully connected with the outside world.

In the next step, Wang Qing plans to rely on the Internet to try the legendary "online sales" route, and send the medicinal materials in the village that are obviously very precious, but they cannot be sold locally, to other places, and to pull up the income of the villagers.

During this time, he was studying this matter, and the account on the Alibaba platform was also registered, just waiting to receive the first order to see if this method was reliable.

He wasn't worried about being fooled at all, after all, he didn't accept the big order, even if he was really deceived, the amount of medicinal materials lost would not be too large.

Just try and make mistakes.

In addition to using the Internet to open up the market, Wang Qing will inevitably use these computers to check the information he wants, read online forums to relax.

No one in the village said that he was using public welfare for personal gain, in fact, they wanted Wang Qing to have more fun, so that they could move a small bench and sit behind him to see the world.

On this day, he also took a few villagers to surf the Internet and watch the news together after dinner, but after clicking on the familiar forum, he found a different post.

"The official platform is open! Anyone can anonymously propose and ask questions! ”

Wang Qing curiously clicked on the link in the post, and after jumping, he found that this was really an official platform!

Moreover, judging from the number of replies, the popularity is not low.

On the left side of the page, there is a list titled "Top Agenda", and when you click on it, it is full of recent hot topics.

What is the problem of the elderly in rural areas, what is the problem of going to school in remote areas, what is the problem of migrant workers' wages, and so on.

And, under each agenda, you can see many discussions from netizens.

Wang Qing looked over one by one, one side was deeply touched, but at the same time, the other side felt a little abnormal.

The problems of students going to school, medical security, and migrant workers' wages are still understandable, but the elderly in rural areas?

Is it true that so many elderly people in rural areas choose to cut themselves off?

As far as he knew, Luojiao Village was already one of the most difficult natural villages in the province, but since he was a child, he had heard only one case of suicide.

Even in this case, the person concerned still chose to give up because he couldn't stand the long-term pain and torture, and from beginning to end, although the children were not able and unable to give the best medical treatment to the elderly, they never said that they would let the elderly "solve" it themselves.

That's weird.

If this is still the case in the village, is the situation worse in other places than in the village?

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and asked:

"Second uncle, have you heard of an old man in our village who has the idea of committing suicide?"

"Suicide? Hanging neck? ”

The second uncle scratched his head and replied:

"You said twenty or thirty years ago, it was really a lot-—— but it was said a lot, and there were few hangings."

"Your wife, she hanged, her feet hurt so much that she couldn't stand it, she had to die, and then a few offspring were collecting medicine and going to massage for her, and she was saved."

"Since her, it's basically gone."

"You also know about that aunt, just down the bottom side, didn't you always scare others when you were young, saying that there was a hanged ghost at the bottom, or something?"

Wang Qing's face showed a little embarrassed, and he quickly waved his hand to stop the second uncle and said:

"That's all ignorant when I was a child, and I haven't heard of it now?"

"I've never heard of it! Wang Shu: His grandmother is bitter enough, right? All the children are gone, so I leave a little grandson, and I can't walk myself, do you think she is going to die? ”

"Two days ago, you asked me to sell medicine, saying that you want to buy an electric wheelchair-—— hey, this thing is electric, do you say it's unusual?"

"Come, A-Qing, you go there, check it on the Internet, see if there is one, if there is, let's see if there is one."

"Don't be busy yet."

Wang Qing shook his head, turned his head and continued to look at the screen.

The doubts in his heart grew stronger.

What the hell is going on?

Where did those legendary "rural old men" come from?

The post continued to be refreshed, and at this time, he saw that there was actually a post mentioning the settlement village!

Moreover, the person who posted the post also used the village as an example to demonstrate the so-called "high suicide rate of the elderly in rural areas".

Wang Qing felt his anger surging up all of a sudden.

Isn't that slander?!

He suddenly got up, eager to reach out and grab the rumor-monger on the other side of the screen and beat him up right now, but after calming down for a while, he suddenly understood again:

Isn't the meaning of the existence of this platform to let ordinary people like yourself reason and talk about evidence?

So, he thought for a moment, and then said:

"Second uncle, you help me get in touch, call the old people in the village together, and I'm going to take a video for them."

A few hours later, a video of Wang Qing's video of the village's elders was uploaded online.

In the video, he carefully inquired about the status of each elderly person and introduced the situation of each elderly person.

Even, he asked the same question to the old people:

"What's your biggest wish right now?"

The answer can be said to be bizarre.

Wang Shu's grandmother wanted an electric wheelchair.

She said, "The brakes must be strong enough!" Otherwise, the big slope won't go down! ”

This sentence caused a burst of laughter from everyone in the picture.

In addition to her slightly "expensive" wish, some of the old people who settled in the village wanted their children who were working outside to come back to see more, some wanted to talk to someone, and some wanted to call their home

Of course, there are also people who want to go to the market and eat freshly baked sweet potato chips that they ate when they were younger, rather than the ones that took hours to bring back and were already on their stomachs.

Or, some people say that they want to go to the shroud shop in the town and choose a set of coffins for themselves to put at home in advance.

According to her, the sooner the coffin is bought, the more blessed the family will be.

This is the closest answer to death.

But among all these answers, none of them were "want to die".

Wang Qing doesn't need to say anything, everyone who sees the video already has the answer.

How can a person who still has a wish in his heart want to die?

At the end of the video, Wang Qing said to the camera:

"In fact, the main purpose of recording this video is to refute the rumors on the Internet that maliciously smear our village."

"In that rumor, you said that the village was closed to traffic, the environment was bad, and the economy was backward."

"Admittedly, it used to be like this."

"But even in that case, we people here will never end our lives meaninglessly."

"For us, where there is life, there is hope."

"Now, isn't that hope?"

As he spoke, the camera turned to the cement road that winded out of the mountain.

"This is a rural road that we just repaired this year, not to mention comparing it with the city, but at least, it's okay to run a truck."

"A lot of things that we didn't dare to think about before have now become easier."

"Thank you to the country, thank you to the village."

"We have roads, telephones, and even the internet, so the next step should be running water."

"Oh yes."

Wang Qing paused deliberately, and then said:

"I also have to thank South Africa, the two devils who made our rumors and the masters behind you."

"Let's just say, if you have to pursue it, there is still your money in this road to the village."

"Thank you, boss!"
