Chapter 160

"Beware, the media is being kidnapped by money!"

Gu Bing held the newspaper in his hand, the black bold headline catching his eye.

"In recent days, the incident of people dying from drinking Jiangzhou Yugong liquor has been rampant. Numerous media outlets, including many influential mainstream media, have reported on it one after another.

However, Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor Co., Ltd. did not make any response. Just when everyone thought the matter was true and was relentlessly attacking and calling for the destruction of Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor, news came from Jiangzhou. The police destroyed a major factory producing and selling counterfeit liquor, seized twenty-seven tons of counterfeit Jiangzhou Yugong liquor, and arrested thirty-eight people involved in the case.

Seeing this, everyone should understand that the liquor that killed people was fake. Let's go back and look at the previous media reports. Without any investigation, they were deliberately biased, vague, and distorted the facts. The content was even more lacking in integrity, deliberately highlighting contradictions, and the public opinion tendency was obvious, which is astonishing and unbelievable.

I have always believed that the value of the media lies in disseminating information, adhering to the correct public opinion orientation, reporting positive energy comprehensively and in a timely manner, and creating a positive, healthy, and uplifting public opinion atmosphere.

But I don't know when the media also became market-oriented. Where there is a market, there is supply and demand, and there is the existence of interests. It has completely lost its profound sense of value and has degenerated into a tool for profit.

Some media people have been completely corroded by money. Driven by greed, their morality has been lost. They have not assumed any responsibility for possessing the ability to guide public opinion, but instead have maliciously fabricated some contradictions and conflicts, using the people's sense of justice to kill.

This kind of malicious distortion of events is more terrifying than theft, robbery, or armed assault. I hope that when there are similar reports in the future, readers can leave a bit of rationality for themselves, not let some bad media people lead them astray, become puppets for others to abuse, and become murderers who help the evildoer.

In addition, Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor Co., Ltd. has already filed a lawsuit against those reporters and media outlets that maliciously distorted the facts, deliberately guided public opinion, and attacked the Jiangzhou winery. It is reported that the Jingcheng Intermediate People's Court has already accepted the case.

Special Commentator, Shuai Dong!"

Gu Bing looked at the two characters 'Shuai Dong', his mouth curling up to the sky: "Shameless thing, his skin is getting thicker and thicker."

Although this guy said so in his mouth, his eyes revealed envy. If he could write an article and get it published in the People's Daily, that would be awesome. But this is easier said than done. Zhou Andong's report must have also gone through layers of review before being published. This also shows that this kid Zhou Andong is truly awesome; why didn't I see it before?

Then, Gu Bing picked up several other newspapers and read them again and again, all of which were reports about Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor Co., Ltd. suing those bad reporters and media.

The more Gu Bing read, the more excited he became, pacing back and forth in the office. In fact, these reports were all the same, but during this period, he had been a bit breathless from the negative news, and it was really too stifling.

Now that they had fired the first shot of the counterattack, the pent-up stagnation in his heart was finally released. Most importantly, he could make Tong Huaiyu suffer a setback; how could he not be happy?

In Cheng Zhanjun's office, a burst of hearty laughter came out. During this period, his pressure was also not small. Because someone had used the Jiangzhou winery incident to attack him more than once.

After he read the report, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly drifted away without a trace, and his mood was incredibly good. He picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, got up, and came to the window, looking outside, thinking about the conversation from his first meeting with Zhou Andong, a smile appearing on his face.

Using one's own spear to attack one's own shield, this kid is really amazing. A dead-end situation was broken by him so easily.

"Ding-a-ling..."

The telephone on the desk suddenly rang. Cheng Zhanjun turned around, came to the desk, picked up the phone, and heard Zuo Peiming's voice.

"Secretary, have you seen the report in the People's Daily?"

Cheng Zhanjun said with a smile: "I saw it."

Zuo Peiming laughed loudly: "I really didn't expect that this kid Zhou Andong would use this method to break the situation. Not only is it simple and effective, but it also increased the winery's popularity. This big show is indeed exciting enough."

Cheng Zhanjun sighed and said: "Zhou Andong's way of thinking is always different from us normal people. Maybe this is what is called a genius."

Zuo Peiming asked: "I suspect that the report 'Beware, the media is being kidnapped by money!' was written by Zhou Andong."

Cheng Zhanjun said: "Remove the word 'suspect'; it was written by him. Such a sharp writing style is exactly his style. And besides his thick skin, who would be narcissistic enough to give themselves a pen name like 'Shuai Dong'?"

"Your analysis is still correct." Zuo Peiming laughed, "Alright, you go ahead and get busy; I have some things to deal with here too."

At the Huwang Town winery, the row of bungalows on the north side was the office area. In the general manager's office in the middle, a crisp sound of a glass breaking came out, followed by Zhang Deyou's angry cursing.

"Damn it, little puppy, he can even turn things around like this; his life is really tough enough."

Gao Qingkui closed his eyes and said while leaning against the back of his chair: "Don't harbor any illusions. The calendars have already been printed; hurry up and arrange for people to carry out marketing, and push our Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor to the market as soon as possible."

During this period, the negative news about Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor was overwhelming, and Gao Qingkui, Zhang Deyou, and Qu Hongqi were incredibly excited. They thought that this time, Zhou Andong would definitely die, and they had already prepared to acquire the Jiangzhou winery.

But today's report in the People's Daily completely shattered their beautiful dreams, especially for Zhang Deyou, who was almost angered to the point of vomiting blood; this depression goes without saying.

And at this time, Tong Huaiyu was even more furious than Zhang Deyou. With a livid face, he tore the newspaper to shreds, his eyes full of hostility. He never dreamed that the trap he had painstakingly set would be broken so easily by Zhou Andong.

Since he was a child, he had always regarded himself as a little Zhuge, and he really liked the feeling of strategizing and turning his hands to create clouds and rain. For so many years, there were not a few people who had been calculated and pitted by him, and he had never failed once.

This time, he thought he was foolproof and had already foreseen Zhou Andong's inevitable death, but reality gave him a hard slap, making him a bit stunned, but it made him even more furious, and he hated Zhou Andong to the bone.

Guo Zidan held another newspaper, and as he read, he laughed: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. You, this insidious and cunning guy, also have times when you miscalculate. Not only did you not hurt them in the slightest, but you were also used by the other party to increase the brand's popularity. Now the water has been stirred up by the other party, and we can't see if there is any danger at the bottom of the water. We can only stop, otherwise, we are very likely to be drowned."

Tong Huaiyu's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it: "He broke this trap, but let's see how he breaks the other one."
