Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1771: Chapter 1413: Public Opinion Is a Battlefield (Part 3)

However, the amount of media resources also greatly influences success or failure.

Gordon even considered asking Bai Xiaosheng for some suggestions.

However, after thinking it over, he decided against it.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng appeared so young, could his suggestions really be of any use...

”Mr. Gordon, you might not yet understand more about the media side.” Bai Xiaosheng said over the phone, ”Let me tell you, the source of all the online information comes from five media outlets, the rest are just commentators picking up on the trending topics to capture attention.”

”Those five source media outlets are the Haru Business Daily, Benzhou Government Affairs Monitor...”

”According to the latest articles, their current commentary not only criticizes you but also starts to praise Berman!”

The media names Bai Xiaosheng listed were expected by Gordon, but two of them were beyond his expectations.

Among these media, three have their headquarters in this city, while the other two have headquarters in other cities of Benzhou, but they have extremely important branches in this city!

What surprised Gordon more was that Bai Xiaosheng could actually identify the sources from the overwhelming number of articles.

This is simply incredible!

Gordon thought of how Bai Xiaosheng could even bring together the three giants of the wine industry to cooperate with him and felt it seemed only natural.

This ”Bai” gentleman, could he come from a family of some media mogul? Mayor Gordon even had such suspicions.

”From now on, I will handle the news about the wine festival. You should focus on dealing with those five media outlets... whatever means, get them handled, and in the end, the first to publicly reveal Berman’s own problems must be these five!” Bai Xiaosheng said, ”This way, not only can Berman’s discourse power be quickly shattered, but it will also reverse the plot, put the problems onto Berman, and you will become a hero of Haru!”

”Makes sense!” Gordon’s eyes lit up as he listened to Bai Xiaosheng, nodding repeatedly.

At the same time, he was filled with admiration.

This Asian young man named ”Bai” is truly terrifying, such ideas, if he were Berman, would also be frightened.

Moreover, he not only tracked down the information sources in such a short time but could also easily formulate such a counterattack plan!

If he were a businessman, the future would be limitless!

If he were a politician, it would be enough to make people fearful!

Gordon even found himself harboring a subtle respect towards Bai Xiaosheng.

”Then I will have to trouble Mr. Bai, I will focus on ’communicating’ with those five media outlets!” Gordon said.

”No trouble at all, going forward, I’ll still need Mr. Gordon to look after Lai Yin and others.” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh over the phone.

”Certainly! Supporting technology and development is the mayor’s unshirkable duty!”

...

Hanging up the phone, Gordon, full of excitement, took a piece of paper to jot down the names of the five media outlets and called over his trusted aide Joseph.

”These enterprises, within the scope of this city, should audit the accounts that need auditing, check the taxes that need checking, and enforce everything with double the severity! Additionally, ask those prominent figures whom the media have previously attacked if they need to defend their reputation! See if the union received any complaints about them! What approval items do these enterprises have?”

Gordon instructed seriously, ”Remember, all investigations and accountability must comply with Benzhou regulations. Don’t leave room for criticism in this aspect!”

Joseph immediately nodded.

He was clear about what to do.

Gordon watched him leave, unable to help but sneer coldly, ”Berman, no matter how ruthless your tactics, I have noble assistance!”

PM, Berman Manor.

Berman was leisurely sipping coffee, relishing in the media denunciation of Gordon all day, and imagining how spectacular the processions and demonstrations in the city must be!

”Gordon, let’s see how you survive this time!” Berman thought with a sinister smile, filled with satisfaction.

First, deal with that unappreciative fellow Gordon, then deal with the people of Lai Yin, and sort out that Bai guy! Berman thought ”beautifully”.

Just then, someone rushed in stumbling, shouting, ”Master, master! Something big happened!”

The person was Berman’s most trusted butler, responsible for many affairs this time.

”What happened, so panicked!” Berman frowned and scolded, a bit displeased.

The person showed Berman a tablet he brought, ”Just now, the three giants of the wine industry announced publicly across major media that in response to Haru City Mayor Gordon’s repeated sincere invitation, they plan to hold the first round grand wine festival show of the joint company ’Encounter’ Wine Group in Haru City, and the scale will be at a pan-European level! Moreover, they appointed the mayor of Haru to be the honorary spokesperson of the year!”

”What did you say!” Berman’s eyes widened instantly as he stood up abruptly.

The three giants of the European wine industry, at Gordon’s invitation, plan to hold a grand wine festival in Haru City on a pan-European scale!

This means that Haru City will become the focus of all of Europe!

The tourism industry, service industry, retail industry...

They might all be instantly invigorated!

Everything Gordon promised would be fulfilled!

Berman’s mind buzzed, not only was the public opinion offensive broken, but it would also make the competition with Gordon immensely difficult!

”Not just that!” The butler’s face turned weird with an ugly expression, ”Those media that cooperated with us just now totally refused our new round of propaganda content, and, and...”

Berman’s eyes widened like copper bells, ”They refused our manuscript?!”

Could it be that upon hearing this news, they instantly changed direction? Impossible! His relationships with key figures in those media were built on ”solid friendships”!

At the very least, if something happened, they would give him a heads-up, explain the situation, and negotiate!

What does outright refusal mean?!

”And what?!” Berman urged impatiently.

”And they are all publishing your... black material...” the butler swallowed, lowered his voice, ”Moreover, they’ve all changed their stance, praising Mayor Gordon for his restraint in face of the criticism and demonstrations, and they have expressed strong support for his commitment to benefit Haru despite the pressure over the long term.”

The butler added one last sentence in a fearful tone.

”The direction of public opinion has changed!”
