Chapter 939 - 357: Who Doesn’t Like More Money?
Long ago, journalists and media were considered the representatives of disobedience.
Basically, whatever those in power didn’t want to see, they would write about.
Especially around the 1920s and 30s, newspapers were practically synonymous with progressiveness.
They were a platform for making voices heard.
The throat of public opinion!
Now, although not many people read newspapers, they have become various news platforms or marketing accounts online.
But the biggest difference is that they are not as resilient as they used to be!
Regarding this afternoon’s press conference.
Every platform and every major media outlet participated.
Hmm... no, to be precise, everyone who attended and came back published their stories tonight.
Either edited live videos or illustrated commentaries.
Most of the content from the press conference has already started spreading across various short video platforms.
Because the press conference wasn’t streamed live, the videos coming out are increasingly popular.
Almost capturing the attention of most netizens.
Soon, netizens realized that the press conference seemed to have covered only three topics.
Zhang Beixing talked about the formation of the second team.
Introduced the second team.
Then the most important matter was to clear Leng Bing of the injustices he suffered recently.
To absolve Leng Bing, Zhang Beixing truly went to great lengths.
Soon, the trending topics across all platforms were basically:
[Leng Bing]
[Undercover Leng Bing]
[Enduring hardship for the country, returning to Great Xia to hear the dragon roar!!]
[...]
Zhang Beixing briefly browsed through these marketing accounts.
Hmm, very good.
Indeed, using both tactics of force and diplomacy is effective.
One carrot, one stick, baffling these people thoroughly.
First, arrested a few unruly reporters and media personnel to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Anyway, those guys were ill-intentioned from the start; it wasn’t wrong to arrest them.
It also serves to make an example, achieving two goals with one action.
Zhang Beixing felt this move was very cost-effective.
Later, Zhang Beixing didn’t skimp on those who wrote favorable articles.
Basically, everyone received a small token of appreciation from Zhang Beixing as they left.
Although it wasn’t much.
Just a few thousand US Dollars each.
But it was a token of Zhang Beixing’s goodwill.
Well, enough to cover a month or two of their salaries at most.
Anyway, everyone left with an ear-to-ear smile.
Zhang Beixing now emphasized wealth, caring little for this small amount of money.
Looking at it now, the effect has manifested, no big issue.
...
...
...
Willpower Country.
The conference room of the Great Xia Consulate has now been converted into a ward.
The press conference had already ended.
Yu Yao, who had been betting, was feeling a bit lost at this moment.
No way, did I just lose???
She looked at Huang Hai and others, calculating excitedly, speechless.
The course of events seemed quite different.
Wasn’t Minister Zhang supposed to step forward and help clarify this for Leng Bing?
Leng Bing cleared his own name just with his own words?
This is unreasonable!
Yu Yao was stunned for a while before she said, "No, don’t get so excited, you guys, wait a minute."
"Didn’t our minister finally send someone to arrest people? That should be counted as the minister stepping in to support Leng Bing, right? Doesn’t that mean I, the dealer, win?"
Yu Yao desperately explained, even trying to pull up the saved video of the press conference to prove her point.
Yin Mengwei blinked her eyes.
"Sister Yu Yao, you’re not saying it right, the minister only arrested the criminals, they were supposed to be arrested in the first place."
"Strictly speaking, this couldn’t be considered as the minister speaking for Leng Bing. Even if you hosted the press conference, you would have arrested them, right?"
Yin Mengwei said with a smile.
She also bet several million US Dollars this time.
She earned quite a bit, profiting over ten million US Dollars, buying herself a big mansion.
She couldn’t be happier.
Yu Yao was momentarily speechless, unable to find the words to refute Yin Mengwei.
That reasoning does make sense, but...
In the end, Yu Yao admitted defeat, unable to argue with them.
She did a quick mental calculation.
Well, although the bank lost quite a bit, she wasn’t the only one who lost.
After careful calculation, this loss should be about seven or eight million US Dollars.
It’s still acceptable.
Endured it.
Completing another task later should be enough to earn it back, no big deal.
Although finding out she lost just now made her feel a bit uncomfortable, upon calming down, she realized.
It’s completely unnecessary.
Continuing to work with team members to exploit opportunities globally will make making money a simple matter in the future.
How many Mafias are there around the world? Countless.
As long as strength is increased, making money isn’t a difficult task.
However, since some resources were used, next time when encountering Leng Bing...
"Leng Bing will certainly be taking the second team out for missions later, will we get a chance to meet?"
Xu Feng thought for a moment, "Probably not at first, but we’ll definitely run into each other eventually."
"After all, we’re all part of the Reserve Forces under The Ninth Bureau, we’re bound to have interactions."
