Chapter 319: Poisonous Textbook
Liu Sheng's series of dazzling operations did succeed in diverting the attention of most people, but this was only superficial and did not fundamentally solve the problems faced by the six grain and oil companies.
At the same time, after receiving clues provided by Qi Tongwei and others, Liu Binkun immediately launched an in-depth internal investigation.
Zhong Xiaoai also held on to this clue tightly and did not let go.
Faced with such pressure, the six companies had to urgently introduce some scapegoats in an attempt to minimize the matter.
After completely handing the matter over to Zhong Xiaoai, Qi Tongwei focused all his energy on the pseudo-expert.
In his opinion, the harm caused by pseudo-experts is no less than that of corruption, and may even be more serious.
Their influence is wide-ranging and their negative impact on society is profound.
Particularly worrying are the so-called experts and scholars hiding in higher education institutions.
The IQ and moral standards of these people are far below those of ordinary people, but they are shouldering the important task of educating a large number of students. They are undoubtedly misleading the younger generation and bringing endless troubles to the society.
We cannot simply investigate pseudo-experts and scholars, but rather we need to introduce policies and systems to fundamentally solve the problem. Of course, all of this must be based on real data.
On this day, Qi Tongwei was organizing and analyzing Du Jing's information about pseudo-experts. He was preparing to write a report to recommend to the leadership that comprehensive sanctions be imposed on the so-called pseudo-experts.
Li Chengyang walked in from outside holding a stack of books.
"Team Leader Qi, I just received a letter of complaint. I think it is very necessary for you to take a look at it?" Li Chengyang handed Qi Tongwei a letter of complaint.
Qi Tongwei took out the report letter out of curiosity and started reading it. He found that the reporter was a parent, but what he reported was the content and illustrations of the textbooks, which contained the textbook name and page number with specific content in the appendix.
"Team Leader Qi, I have bought all the relevant textbooks and verified some of the content. The report made by this parent is indeed reasonable." Li Chengyang said as he pulled out a book from the pile of books and handed it to Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei opened it and saw that it was a story about Chinese virtues.
"Look at this illustration of my mother-in-law's tattoo." As soon as Qi Tongwei saw it, he was furious.
"Which department reviewed this? Why does the illustration of Yue Fei show him as a wanderer living a mean life? This is a slander against the hero of our Chinese nation." Qi Tongwei was furious when he saw the illustration.
"You are reading Chapter 3. I want to be the typeset editor for a good kid who loves to study." Li Chengyang said, pointing at the article.
What caught Qi Tongwei's eyes were four big red words "I want to make love". There was only less than half of the red words "Good boy in study" and it was in normal bold font.
"Who compiled this textbook and what are their intentions?" Qi Tongwei slammed the book on the table and said angrily.
Li Chengyang then pulled out a math textbook. The illustrations inside were mostly pictures with dull eyes, with no aesthetic appeal at all. Moreover, the clothes in many of the illustrations were the flags of the Ugly Country and the Small Days.
Qi Tongwei suppressed his anger and continued to look at the books handed to him by Li Chengyang.
Some of these books have typographical errors, some have illustrations with strong sexual connotations and images that vilify Chinese people, and some simply have textual errors.
"This is not a trivial matter, nor is it caused by negligence. This is intentional. I don't believe that such an obvious mistake would go unnoticed. This is naked cultural aggression.
This matter cannot be taken lightly. You should take people to sort out all the problems with the textbooks, and also count all the publishers, illustrators, and people involved in the review. We are going to fight a cultural war." Qi Tongwei solemnly instructed.
"Yes." Li Chengyang answered firmly and forcefully. He was also very angry.
After Li Chengyang left, Qi Tongwei turned and went to where Zhong Xiaoai worked.
"Team Leader Qi, do you have something to talk to me about?" Seeing that it was Qi Tongwei, Zhong Xiaoai asked hurriedly.
Qi Tongwei nodded and asked, "How is the investigation going? Is there any breakthrough progress?"
Zhong Xiaoai shook her head and said, "People from various companies have come forward to confess their guilt and take all the blame on themselves, but I don't think it's that simple. Would the person in charge of the company not know?"
As she spoke, Zhong Xiaoai handed Qi Tongwei an investigation report.
Qi Tongwei took it but did not watch it. He believed in Zhong Xiaoai's judgment. This was not only known by the person in charge, but also by the major shareholders.
Without the authorization of shareholders, the people below dare to do this. Aren’t they afraid of going to jail?
"What suggestions do you have?" Qi Tongwei asked.
Zhong Xiaoai said firmly: "Keep investigating. I don't believe we won't find out something!"
Qi Tongwei shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. Don't you realize that there is a hand behind all this, manipulating it all? In just three days, the entire public opinion has changed. This person is very familiar with the rules of officialdom."
"Do you mean to end the investigation like this?" Zhong Xiaoai frowned, looking dissatisfied.
Her eyes widened, seeming very disappointed with the decision.
Qi Tongwei smiled and replied in a relaxed tone: "Of course not. Judging from the current situation, the corruption problems behind the six grain and oil companies are very serious. These problems have seriously affected social order and the interests of the people.
Therefore, we need to conduct in-depth investigations to identify and eliminate these cancers. Only in this way can we deter illegal activities and ensure food safety.
However, the evidence we have is limited, the other party has put forward a scapegoat, and we only have 31 days left to investigate, so we cannot continue the investigation using conventional methods.
I suggest adopting a strategy of tightening up inside and loosening up outside, pretending to be satisfied with the current investigation results, but actually continuing the investigation in secret, and at the same time trying to provoke internal struggles among them. "
After hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai still shook her head, obviously not believing that this method could succeed.
She questioned: "Internal struggle? How is this possible?"
Qi Tongwei smiled and explained: "The manipulator behind this incident is definitely not the six grain and oil companies, but a professional public relations team.
Their goal is very clear, which is to divert attention and save a few companies.
Although they understand the media, they underestimate people's hearts. Nowadays, people are paying attention to health. Judging from the behavior of the six grain and oil companies, how many people do you think will use their products?
Don't forget that they still have competitors, and competitors in the same industry don't want them to survive.
I heard that because of this incident, the stock prices of six grain and oil companies plummeted and were shorted by many people, resulting in huge losses. Various signs indicate that it will be difficult for them to continue to hold on.
I suggest that we deal them another severe blow, and have the Food and Drug Administration punish the six grain and oil companies and stir up the news again.
At the same time, we will use our influence to squeeze the products of these six grain and oil companies out of schools, state-owned enterprises, government departments and units. In this way, their stock prices will continue to fall.
Humph, in this case, even if the six grain and oil companies do not go bankrupt, they will be almost bankrupt. They are destined to leave the Chinese market.
Do you think they will care about the previous officials and PR team if they are going to go bankrupt?"
"I don't care." Zhong Xiaoai replied in a low voice.
"That's it. If we contact the six grain and oil companies again at that time, do you think they will still keep it a secret for them?" Qi Tongwei asked.
"Probably not." Zhong Xiaoai looked at Qi Tongwei and couldn't help but admire him secretly. She nodded and agreed with Qi Tongwei's decision and put aside the investigation of the matter for the time being.
