Chapter 232: The Power of Public Opinion of Tianqi Group

"Student Su, compared to Tianqi Group, you are the most precious wealth in this world."

"No matter what happens, we will firmly stand with you."

"The reason I am speaking so openly with you this time is because I hope you won't fall for the enemy's tricks. Although you are very smart and can see through these things, under a surging wave of public opinion, you might not always be able to remain rational."

"In short, you must remember that although we cannot publicly speak up for you, we will always believe in you through our actions, and we will always be your backing, firmly supporting you from behind."

Su Xin said calmly:

"I understand."

The two sides had cooperated for so long, and even the Tianji Zero human experiments had not been hidden, so naturally, Su Xin could not harbor estrangement over such a small matter.

Hao Zude continued:

"However, although we cannot publicly come forward to stand for you, some secret help is still possible."

"In the end, this incident is actually just a rather clumsy open conspiracy. The fear is that those people will deliberately stir up trouble; after all, their power over public opinion is terrifying, and we have to admit we are inferior in that regard."

The vehicle had just started moving for a long time.

Su Xin praised sincerely:

The shooting angle was at a distance of more than seven meters, and the cameraman was also a fisherman holding a harpoon; it was just that at the beginning, he was wandering on the innermost perimeter, and after filming for a few seconds, he fixed the phone somewhere and joined the battle himself.

Su Xin was lost in thought.

"And there is also Old Yu... that is, the boss of Fat Dongdong, Yu Dongdong. He has also come twice this year, specifically to discuss with us for a period of time, and gave us a lot of useful advice."

In his view, being able to develop human modification technology meant the technical strength of that mysterious organization was definitely not weak, and perhaps some technical products could be inspiring to him.

Su Xin's phone soon received the video sent by Hao Zude.

"The strength is not as good as the enhanced ones of Tianji Zero, but the defense is much stronger."

"If it weren't for Director Fei, we probably wouldn't even be able to open the shopping mall. He taught us a lot and helped us a lot."

Plus, the distance between the two countries is very close, so if the organization's base is in Sakura Country, arranging for modified humans to come over is indeed very convenient.

"Don't you know yet? Today is already... let me see, today is already January 19th, and there is less than a month until the New Year. How could you even forget the date of the New Year? Is work very busy lately?"

"Moreover, although we are very generous in constantly giving concessions to employees and customers, the current overall profit margin of the mall is still quite good. If we don't count the construction and land purchase costs of the mall, it is expected that we will be able to achieve profitability in a few more months."

"To have been attacked and still have the leisure to film a video—it seems the modified humans aren't as formidable as I thought."

Su Xin also smiled and echoed.

After finishing, Hao Zude took his phone and walked out of the conference room, returning after about three minutes.

"Is that so..."

This is a new company established by integrating many media companies around the world, involving traditional print media, television media, internet media, self-media platforms, and so on.

That would actually be a good thing.

After all, the modified humans are Sakura Country people.

"It is indeed a bit busy."

The sounds of exclamations and roars were endless.

"Don't worry, I know, Mom. You guys too, don't take work too seriously. It doesn't matter if the mall's business situation isn't good; at worst, I can help you open a few more at any time."

"We have currently suppressed the situation on the fishing boat; it has not spread out."

"Mom."

It could be heard that his mother, Liu Qingli, was very satisfied with the mall business and was proud of it.

After leaving the main office building.

Hearing the word "boss," Hao Zude's expression immediately became solemn. While taking the phone, he gestured to the subordinate who was reporting and said:

Subsequently, he made a call to Hao Zude.

"Be that as it may, whether it is Sakura Country or not, let's treat Sakura Country as a potential enemy for now."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, discussed some specific countermeasures, and then hung up the phone.

Speaking of this topic, Liu Qingli's tone clearly became a bit more excited again:

Tianqi Media is one of them.

He must do a good job of controlling public opinion in advance.

At the beginning of the video, a light green monster was fighting with several fishermen holding harpoons. Not far away, another fisherman lay on the boat, twitching constantly, with blood gushing continuously from his throat, flowing down his body onto the deck and spreading to the surroundings.

"Hey! Then you underestimate us."

Su Xin asked in confusion.

For example, there are many large companies such as Tianqi Cloud Computing, Tianqi Finance, Tianqi Logistics, Tianqi Education, Tianqi Home, Tianqi Grain and Oil, Tianqi Mining, Tianqi Catering, and Tianqi Entertainment.

He opened it and looked.

The secretary sitting not far behind her walked over, stooping, handed her phone to her, and whispered:

Liu Qingli was talking enthusiastically about various things in the mall. Upon learning that Su Xin did not plan to go home for the New Year, she seemed to intend to finish all the chatting she wanted to do for the New Year over the phone.

Of course, if no similar incidents happen later, or if the ones that appear are all the same modified human, then the matter might not be as complicated as they thought.

During this period of development, many enterprises acquired by Tianqi Group have completed integration, establishing many new companies.

Even stronger than Tianqi Media Company.

If one wants to control public opinion, the role of Tianqi Media Company is definitely not weak.

The video was filmed for a full five minutes.

"If there are similar incidents later, we will also control domestic public opinion to minimize dissemination and discussion."

From the few clues currently available, Sakura Country naturally has the greatest suspicion.

By the way, pay attention to the sources of these public opinion messages and try to find the mastermind behind the scenes from them.

Su Xin smiled and teased:

Tiantian Assistant under Tianqi Software Company possesses the world's largest number of active users and also holds a series of astonishing titles such as the world's largest social software, the world's largest short video software, the world's largest forum, etc., and its influence on public opinion worldwide is also extremely terrifying.

"Understood."

Aside from this.

Although news of the modified humans had not yet spread across the internet, Su Xin's thoughts were the same as Zhang Chunhua's; since there was a mastermind behind this, it was impossible that it would only happen once.

"Sorry, everyone, please pause for a moment. I have something to handle first and will be back in a while."

Su Xin took a look and answered, placing it against his ear.

Hao Zude returned to his office and made separate phone calls to Song Yanyong, president of Tianqi Software Company, and Zhu Rending, president of Tianqi Media, to discuss Su Xin's arrangements.

"As for overseas, although our strength is limited, my current influence in public opinion is stronger than theirs. Perhaps we can prepare in advance to suppress it if public opinion arises in the future."

Both sides fought fiercely for at least five minutes.

Perhaps recalling Su Xin's achievements, Liu Qingli felt a bit embarrassed by this praise and laughed bashfully: "Actually, it is mainly Director Fei's credit."

Su Xin turned off the video.

"Then, busy as you are, you still need to pay attention to rest. You have already earned more money than you could spend in several lifetimes; there is no need to push yourself so hard, you know?"

He had just asked Zhang Chunhua, and the other party had no clue either, having no idea who this mysterious organization was, only guessing that the organization was targeting him.

Liu Qingli's tone sank a little, appearing somewhat disappointed, but she did not try to persuade him further, only saying with concern:

Su Xin thought for a moment and said: "I won't be going back for the New Year this year. Work is at a critical stage recently, and I can't get away. Let's find a time to gather after I finish being busy. Anyway, you and Dad are always at home."

"Our business is doing very well right now. In the entire Baohe City, our shopping mall has the highest popularity, the best reputation, and is the busiest every day."

"Hmm? Is it almost New Year again?"

"Haha! That's true. After all, the fishermen have harpoons as weapons, while the modified human was carrying no weapons at all. Several fishermen surrounding one modified human really doesn't count as too dangerous; at the beginning, they must have just been too careless."

"Could it be that this is combining the genes of certain animals with human genes? But such technology has no possibility of promotion at all. Who would research such a monster?"

A single word from Su Xin set the entire media power of Tianqi Group into motion.

"To be able to achieve profitability so quickly, it seems Mom and Dad's management ability is indeed impressive!"

"Right, I will use Tiantian Communication to send you the video the fishermen took in a moment."

"President Liu, a call for the boss."

His phone rang.

"Daxin, when are you coming back this year?" Liu Qingli's cheerful voice came through the receiver clearly.

The camera had been pointed toward the battlefield, capturing the scene of the melee and the appearance of the modified human in its entirety.

Although various countries have certain restrictions on foreign capital controlling their domestic media companies, the current Tianqi Media Company still possesses considerable influence worldwide.

Su Xin got into the car and headed toward the Biological Experiment Building with two bodyguards.

A modified human who looked like he didn't have much combat experience was actually able to hold a stalemate with four or five fishermen holding harpoons for so long, which shows his strength is indeed extraordinary.

The other party mainly relied on the scales on his body, which could deflect attacks and also possessed decent defensive capabilities, making the harpoons' attacks difficult to be effective, which was what posed such a great threat to the fishermen.

At this time, on the ninth floor of the main office building, Hao Zude was listening to a report from his subordinates in a conference room.

After continuing to finish the meeting.

During the melee, the green-skinned modified human did indeed show relatively strong brute force, and the green scales on the surface of his skin also possessed quite strong defensive power; they seemed quite slippery, and when occasionally hit by a harpoon, the harpoon would often slide off, rarely leaving obvious scars.

Of course, the several fishermen were also quite brave; at the cost of three people being injured, they joined forces to wound the modified human and even almost captured him.

However, through the performance in the video, Su Xin could roughly judge that the strength of this modified human seemed to be inferior to those enhanced by the Tianji Serum.
