Chapter 54 Shameful Hype Continued

Chen Lin was going to buy some gifts for Lily when he came back from Guangzhou. He left Yu Yu's office and went next door to visit Lily and ask her what she liked. As soon as he walked out the door, he saw Lily sitting on the table reading a letter.

"Lily, what letter are you reading?" Chen Lin walked over and asked. When the little girl saw Chen Lin coming over, she stood up quickly and unconsciously hid the letter behind her.

"It's nothing, this is a letter my classmate wrote to me." Lily said pretending to be nonchalant.

"Really?" Chen Lin saw her hiding the letter and wondered if this girl was reading a love letter? He couldn't help but frowning and asked: "Is it a love letter? Show it to me."

"No, I already said it was a letter from a classmate." Lily denied it, but her face turned red with embarrassment, which made Chen Lin say it.

"Okay! Look, you are blushing and you still say no. Show me the letter. Which boy wrote it? What is it about?" As he said that, Chen Lin reached out for it, and his expression became serious at the same time.

.

"This is my personal letter, I won't show it to you." Lily refused. She stuffed the letter into her pocket and covered her pocket tightly with one hand.

"I'm your cousin, why can't I read it? Obediently take out the letter and let me see it." Chen Lin asked again, but Lily pouted and still refused. Seeing this, Chen Lin's face darkened and he yelled sternly: "

Your uncle and aunt are not allowed to have a boyfriend before the New Year's Day, and you are asked to keep an eye on you. You also promised to listen to your cousin carefully before you go out. Why are your wings stiff, and my words are hard to use, right?"

"Cousin, you...you are unreasonable." Lily felt aggrieved, and her eyes turned red after being yelled at by Chen Lin.

"Okay!" Chen Lin felt soft when he saw this and coaxed: "Don't my cousin care about you? You are still young and I am afraid that you will be deceived."

"Hmph! I'm already 18 years old, so I'm an adult, okay?" Lily snorted, her eyes still red, her grievance still not over.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin quickly said that he wanted to buy her a gift, which made her laugh, and then he made a three-part agreement, agreeing that she would exchange with the boy, but she had to let him take a look first, and he also stipulated that she must report when going out, and she was not allowed to go out at night.

.

The little girl initially refused to agree, but Chen Lin signed a series of unequal treaties under the temptation of Chen Lin's extra promise to buy her a set of high-end cosmetics used by Sister Yu and a mobile phone.

Chen Lin went home with a grimace. Although he had taken care of the little girl, the price was too high. "A set of cosmetics for Yu'er costs 18,000 yuan, and the mobile phone costs 9,800 yuan. The total cost is 27,000 yuan. I said

, I'm going to bleed profusely now." Chen Lin was still counting his accounts with his fingers until he sat in the car.

Finally, Chen Lin sighed. He had to pay Yu'er again this month. It was really embarrassing to say that he, a dignified general manager, still asked women for money every month.

Yu Yu has doubled his salary. His current monthly salary is 12,000, not including phone calls and car subsidies. This salary in 1997 was already a huge sum of money, but this guy can use whatever he gives him.

As for money, most of his expenses come from treating guests to meals. Sometimes when he sees the workers working the night shift and working hard, he will casually take out five or six hundred yuan to treat them to supper. When having a drinking party with Teacher He and others, he will basically pay the money first.

His high prestige in the "Happy Camp" column group is not only due to his talent, but also to his being accepted by everyone, which is partly due to his generous and straightforward personality.

Just when Chen Lin went home with a grimace and packed his luggage to fly to Guangzhou in the afternoon, in a high-rise office in Guangzhou, the boss of "Hong Kong Morning News" Zhang Daode and the editor-in-chief Liao Mingzhi were discussing using "Happy Camp" to promote

matter.

"Brother Mingzhi, do you think it's okay for us to fabricate false news like this? What if someone really wants to sue us?" Zhang Daode worriedly asked. His eyes wandered, showing his inner melancholy. He asked what proportion of water was used to make fake wine.

He is an expert, but in the world of news media, he is a layman.

Chen Lin was really right when he said that Zhang Daode made a fortune selling counterfeit wine. He was also a little clever and knew that this illegal business would capsize sooner or later if he continued this illegal business for a long time. So he began to consider changing careers last year. By chance, he met Liao Mingzhi.

The two had a mutual affinity and were encouraged by Liao Mingzhi to start this small newspaper.

"Mr. Zhang, please be at ease. It is very common for us to do hype in our industry. This kind of small battle is nothing. In Hong Kong, even the governor of Hong Kong would dare to expose whatever underwear he is wearing today." Liao Mingzhi.

boasted.

"I know what I'm capable of, but this is the mainland, and our TV stations have political backers. What if they are determined to sue us?" Zhang Daode was still worried. He still understood the principle that the people will not fight with the officials.

.

"It's okay even if they sue us." Liao Mingzhi rolled his eyes and smiled: "Brother Daode, to be honest, I hope they sue?"

"Oh, why is this?" Zhang Daode asked curiously.

"Even if they sue us, what will they sue us for? For defamation? Or for creating false news? Then we just need to find a reporter to take the blame and put the blame on him. We are also ignorant. The worst we can do is apologize and admit our mistakes.

I am willing to pay the fine." Liao Mingzhi said while paying attention to Zhang Daode's eyes. Seeing that his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, he continued: "Compared with these losses, the benefits we will gain are greater. As long as we file a lawsuit.

The media will definitely pay attention to us, and our newspaper will become more famous. Needless to say, the benefits of becoming more famous are the benefits. Look at our advertising performance this month compared to last month!"

"I read it right, brother, you are really talented. If I hadn't heard you say this, I wouldn't have known there were so many different things. From now on, our newspaper will rely on brother." Zhang Daode's face showed a smile.

Smiling and complimenting.

"Easy to say, easy to say." Liao Mingzhi said modestly, and then he smiled and asked deliberately: "The fine will not be less than 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, Mr. Zhang, can you not afford to pay this fine?

"

"Haha, brother, you are so funny." Zhang Daode burst into laughter after hearing this, thinking that he would spend more than this amount just to eat and drink in Macau, and this little money would be a drop in the bucket.

Liao Mingzhi also laughed, so the two villains laughed together in the office...

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liao Mingzhi received a text message when he was getting ready to get off work. He turned on his phone and read the text message: "At 7 o'clock in the evening, "Fangsuo Bookstore", Area 108, 1st Floor, Tianhe Taikoo Hui, Guangzhou, "Happy Camp"

"Mr. Chen."

Liao Mingzhi laughed as soon as he saw the words "Happy Camp", haha, he said Cao Fu Cao Fu is here. Just now he was discussing with Zhang Daode whether to try to contact Happy Camp. It seems that mainland media people

Not all bumpkins know these tricks.

He was not surprised. Everyone in Hong Kong knew these unspoken rules. The same night that Gossip Weekly exposed the secrets of a certain star, a mysterious person came to discuss cooperation. In fact, many celebrities' secrets were provided to the weekly by themselves.

, and then perform a farce to increase exposure, and the general public will also like to see this kind of farce.

Liao Mingzhi happily changed into a casual outfit and rushed to the appointment to meet Mr. Chen.

Fangsuo Bookstore is a bookstore that integrates bookstores, aesthetic life, coffee, exhibition space and clothing. Liao Mingzhi walked into the bookstore and found Block 108 in Area A. He saw a young man about 6 years old sitting

Where.

Liao Mingzhi took out his mobile phone and looked at the text message again. Yes, it said that it was Block 108, Area A, Fangsuo Bookstore, Tianhe. He looked at the time again. Isn't it already 7 o'clock and Mr. Chen hasn't come yet?

"Editor-in-Chief Liao, I am the Mr. Chen you are looking for. Please sit down." When Liao Mingzhi was looking around in confusion, the young man spoke.

"Ah! I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so young." Liao Mingzhi looked at Chen Lin with surprise. Yes, the young man was Chen Lin.

Chen Lin smiled and didn't answer. He waved to the waiter to bring a pot of coffee. It took Liao Mingzhi a while to sit down before he believed that the young and outrageous Chen Lin in front of him was the one who sent him the text message.

"Mr. Chen..." Liao Mingzhi was about to speak but was interrupted by Chen Lin.

"Mr. Liao Mingzhi, on behalf of the "Happy Camp" program, I am here today to accuse you of the "Hong Kong Morning Post" for deliberately fabricating false news to slander the image of our program. I request you to immediately stop this slanderous behavior and make a sincere response to our program.

Apologize." Chen Lingang, who was still smiling, suddenly changed his expression and said righteously.

Liao Mingzhi smiled slightly, took a sip of the coffee in front of him, then looked at Chen Lin and said calmly: "If Mr. Chen wanted to sue, he wouldn't be sitting here!"

Chen Lin also picked up the coffee and took a sip without comment. If the other party was moved by his deliberate threats, he would turn away and leave. It seemed that the other party was an old man, so there was no need to be pretentious.

"In that case, let's talk about cooperation." Chen Lin put down the cup in his hand and said calmly.

"Haha, I like talking to smart people like Mr. Chen." Liao Mingzhi laughed and said: "You provide information, and we will provide high-quality solutions to cooperate with the exposure and hype of your column. We are a win-win situation. The price is 100,000."

"Article 274 of the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" Whoever extorts public or private property, if the amount is relatively large, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or surveillance; if the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to not less than three years and ten years

The following fixed-term imprisonment." Chen Lin suddenly introduced the crime of extortion to Liao Zhizhi, and then said calmly: "Editor-in-chief Liao, 100,000 is enough, which is a huge amount."

"Mr. Chen, please stop joking. I can't stand being scared." Liao Zhizhi smiled and continued: "This is not a large number. We are top-notch in making decisions in this industry, and we are a small newspaper that takes risks.

ability..."

"30,000." Chen Lin interrupted the other party again and said decisively: "Let's just talk about this number."

When Liao Mingzhi's expression changed and he was about to say, "30,000 is less," Chen Lin asked him to accept the condition. Chen Lin said lightly: "We can choose to remain silent and ignore it."

Yes, if you don't respond, silence is often one of the most effective ways to deal with these hypes and rumors. If "Happy Camp" doesn't respond to them, everyone will lose interest in their newspaper's news in a few days. By that time

It’s not like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain.

In the end, Liao Mingzhi took the envelope handed to him by Chen Lin and left, which contained 30,000 in cash and some internal information about "Happy Camp".

Chen Lin sat in his seat and watched Liao Mingzhi leave with a slight smile. He took out his mobile phone and pressed the play recording button, and a recording was played, "Mr. Liao Mingzhi, today I am here to announce the program "Happy Camp" on behalf of...

.One price is 100,000..."

The conversation just now has been completely and clearly recorded. The reason why he recorded it was just as a precautionary measure. When dealing with people like Liao Mingzhi, he had to prevent the other party from crossing the river and burning bridges at any time.

Chen Lin turned off the recording, stood up, paid and left the bookstore.
