Chapter 765: Public Opinion, Cold
Having Phoenix Video, LeTV Video, Azure Rainbow Media, Chengying Film & TV, Jinghong Music… a whole string of companies backing Douyin, being born means being extraordinary.
And the Yang Family, which invested in Byte, did not let its control over the media decline at all because of the setback on Toutiao; on the contrary, Byte's Tomato News, centered on citizen whistleblowers, has become even more popular among the masses.
Manager Zhang, after seeing the hype around Yang Qing and Tanaka Yuko, shamelessly took the opportunity to push Yang Qing and Tanaka to the forefront.
Some people who know Yang Qing quickly discovered who Old Man 76 was.
After decades of struggle, they have long wanted to take revenge.
But previously Yang Qing always stayed hidden behind the scenes, leaving them with no way to act.
Today Yang Qing stepped onto the front stage, making them swarm like sharks smelling blood.
There is another reason for their frenzy.
The new leadership, after long preparation, also began to exert structural force this year.
The issue that several generations of a family were that thing was highlighted.
Before, it was: this is someone's child, and after graduation they were assigned, assigned.
What his grandfather did, what his father did, he hadn't even graduated yet, and that position was already reserved for him.
Even his child was originally supposed to inherit by right.
Now it's different.
Now a strict investigation is required.
Moreover, the civil service examination issue has been taken seriously; it must be fair, transparent, and public.
If problems arise, all handlers bear joint responsibility.
Regarding service positions, the problems of taking bribes, pocketing money and demanding favors have led to increased service quality assessments and review standards.
Anyone repeatedly complained about with solid evidence is dismissed outright.
The cabinet broke the iron rice bowl.
This whole set has deeply deterred everyone.
All economic positions and any occupational crimes are dealt with as criminal liability.
At that time, that thing, nine out of ten were executed, yet many still slipped through the net.
This incident was a complete sweep.
Although they won't be dealt with directly, their hands and feet are still bound.
On top of that, one report after another on Toutiao.
Many people feel as if there is no door to heaven and no road on earth.
When it came to Household Chores concerning them before, it almost always bore Yang Qing's shadow; now it's back, and Yang Qing must have played a disgraceful role.
Otherwise, why would such things happen as soon as he returned to Jingcheng?
"Shocking, the story that Old Man 76 and Tanaka Yuko had to tell."
"Shocking, the old pervert wasn't filming a skit after all, as proved by a dozen passersby."
"Wuwuwu, this person is Yang Qing, very powerful, I am a victim, I'm only fourteen..."
………
"Damn, it blew up, this guy is really a damn pervert."
"Brothers, this scum, curse him to death..."
"Old thing is really playing tricks, envy, jealousy, hatred..."
………
Someone even turned it into a skit.
"I am from Gangdao, Gangdao Xinjie, Xinjie..."
"The Yang Family is a local tyrant, seizing my fields, occupying my house. The family has old mother 66, thin with beauty, a famous name, who knows..."
"This person is Yang Qing, the head of the Yang Family..."
………
Yang Qing didn't expect that when he just wanted to support Douyin for fun, it would end up being exposed.
And it went to the utmost in slandering.
Manager Zhang felt he might have erred this time and quickly apologized to Yang Qing.
"Yang Lao, I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to develop like this."
"I'll have people suppress the hype right away."
Yang Qing smiled at the online discussion; perhaps a righteous person fears no crooked shadows, so he wasn't too nervous.
Tian Weiwei, on the contrary, was extremely nervous, feeling he had caused a disaster, and was on the phone with Yang Fan, admitting his mistake.
Yang Qing spoke on speakerphone.
"No need, if they want to discuss, let them discuss; not only can it not be suppressed on Douyin, but not on Tomato News either."
"I didn't expect the Yang Family's wave to arise at this time."
"Since it has arisen, let it continue."
"The Yang Family truly exists; the more we suppress them, the more interest people have."
"And I also want to see whether the Yang Family can stand up to public scrutiny over the years."
"If the Yang Family can't endure the test and everyone calls for their downfall, then their decline is deserved."
These words were spoken by Yang Qing not only to Manager Zhang but also to Yang Fan, who was on the phone with Tanaka Yuko.
Yang Qing's voice clearly reached Yang Fan's ears.
He, who had been raging and ready to punish the one in Tanaka to death, also fell silent.
The Yang Family is about to step onto the stage, though it may only be a part.
But the significance of being a representative is shocking and unconventional.
Because Yang Family now controls too many resources.
Even the world's richest person, even the great clans, will pale before Yang Family.
Yang Family will inevitably face a huge public opinion storm.
Yang Fan had Zhongtian turn on the speakerphone.
"Dad, I understand; I will tell everyone what you said."
"Dad………"
Yang Fan's words were a little choked up.
Because their own father directly went onto the stage.
That is to say, the impending huge public opinion storm, they must bear it themselves.
Because the Yang Family is the true head of the Yang Family.
And it has already been exposed.
Public opinion………
They have experienced it before; back then, the public opinion storm stirred up by Bang Geng, they still remember it vividly.
The risk of public opinion warfare is no less than that of real war, and the pressure is even greater.
Yang Qing still smiled.
"Alright, this day was bound to come."
"No matter who, nobody can escape this."
"The Luo Hui family, which once possessed one-tenth of the world's wealth, after hundreds of years of operation, wasn't it exposed by a single book 'Currency War'?"
"And let alone our Yang Family, it's only been a few decades."
"Isn't it clear to those who are perceptive?"
"Being low-key has its benefits, being in the forefront has its benefits."
"Our Yang Family walks the righteous path; if it cannot withstand public scrutiny, what is the point of its existence?"
Manager Zhang listened, feeling an inexplicable surge of hot blood.
Yang Fan also pressed down the sorrow in their heart, Father had made a decision, they could only do their best to assist.
"Dad, we understand."
Yang Qing.
"Hmm, then let's go tell them."
"Tell them: if they get into trouble abroad, find a lawyer, whatever settlement can be reached is fine."
"But domestically, if they are not disciplined well, let them prepare themselves mentally."
"The Yang Family will not give them any leniency; the smart ones should turn themselves in and then accept the punishment they deserve."
"Those who deserve prison should go to prison; those who deserve death should go die."
Yang Qing has little contact with their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Even somewhat aloof.
Yang Qing has always been sparing with affection.
Therefore, the words spoken now are especially cold.
The coldness made Manager Zhang shiver all over.
Is this something a grandfather, a great-grandfather would say?
