Chapter 186 Public Opinion Attack
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Qiu Bai. There are many things involved. Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly."
Zhang Dongliang told Lu Qiubai how he met Xu Wenqiang and his relationship with Yenching University in Peking.
Lu Qiubai's expression softened a lot. At least he was not as wary of Zhang Dongliang as he was at the beginning.
"What kind of job does Mr. Zhang do?"
"Mr. Qiu Bai may not like what I say, but I am what you call a comprador. I partnered with the British and opened a pharmacy on the Bund."
Seeing the disdainful expression on Lu Qiubai's face, Zhang Dongliang continued, "But my role as a comprador may not be what you think.
I am not a comprador in the purest sense. I opened a pharmacy in partnership with the British. I am the majority shareholder and have the final say. This allows me to get Western medicine in a timely manner to help the Chinese people. "
Lu Qiubai's expression looked better now.
Alas, it’s tiring to deal with such a straightforward person.
"Mr. Qiubai, I have something to tell you. I wonder if you are in the mood to listen?"
"Tell me about it." Lu Qiubai remained calm. He still couldn't guess what Zhang Dongliang meant.
"It's like this. Mr. Qiubai often exposes the dark side of society in the newspapers. I can see that he is concerned about the country and the people, but can I give Mr. Qiubai a suggestion?"
"Tell me."
"Many struggles require strategy. Blindly acting recklessly will not only cause unnecessary sacrifices, but will also not help resolve the issue."
"Sacrifice is inevitable in many cases." Lu Qiubai didn't care.
"Mr. Qiu Bai, I don't deny your ideals. I am also a person with positive values."
"What does it mean to have a positive outlook?"
“Outlook on life, values, and the world.”
"Outlook on life, values, and world view." Lu Qiubai repeated to himself, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be well versed in philosophy."
"I'm so ashamed. I'm just repeating what others have said."
Zhang Dongliang decided to give Lu Qiubai some further guidance.
"Mr. Qiu Bai, do you think the current situation in China was caused by gangsters like Feng Jingyao?"
"If not them, who else could it be?"
"No, Mr. Qiu Bai, they are just symptoms. They are just minor ailments on a person's body. The real root of the disease is not here."
"Although it seems that the country has been unified, that is only on the surface. In a truly unified China, how could there be so many foreigners with concessions and extraterritoriality in Shanghai?"
This is my first meeting with Lu Qiubai, so I will just talk about this grand topic here, and let Lu Qiubai think about the rest slowly.
Zhang Dongliang decided to bring the topic back.
"Mr. Qiubai, let's talk about the strategy of struggle now."
"Mr. Dongliang, what do you think?"
“In everything, we need to create a momentum and push forward, so that we can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Although Mr. Qiu Bai has spared no effort in exposing the dark side of society in the newspaper, it is difficult for him to create a wave by fighting alone at present.”
"How do we do it?" When talking about his job, Lu Qiubai's interest was obviously raised. But he didn't believe that Zhang Dongliang, as an outsider, could come up with any effective ideas.
“Like the current incident, we should start with the love-hate relationship between Ding Li and Lao Jin, which is a topic of greater interest to the public.
Starting from this incident, we can extend it to the fact that Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang assisted the traitor to escape, and finally spread the flames of war to Feng Jingyao. In this way, we can form a wave, step by step, and achieve our effect. "
Lu Qiubai's eyes gradually brightened.
"It seems that Mr. Zhang is not uneducated. He has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts and the effect of his communication is also very good."
"Actually, I have no grudges against Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li, but for the peace of the people of Shanghai, I am still willing to contribute my own strength." Zhang Dongliang said sincerely to Lu Qiubai.
Lu Qiubai looked at Zhang Dongliang with admiration in his eyes.
"Mr. Qiu Bai, I want to solemnly remind you."
"What's the matter? Please speak, Mr. Zhang." Seeing Zhang Dongliang suddenly become serious, Lu Qiubai couldn't help but straighten his face.
"The power of money is very strong. When your newspaper threatens them, they may take action and buy out all your newspapers. You should be prepared for this."
"Humph, can they still stop the world from gossiping about them?" Lu Qiubai didn't care.
"Mr. Qiu Bai, a cornered dog will jump over the wall. You have blocked the way of wealth for these people. Be careful that they may do something bad to you."
"In this world, many things have to be done by someone, and it is our responsibility." A generous look appeared on Lu Qiubai's face.
"Then take care of yourself, Mr. Qiubai."
"Pour me a glass of wine too." Lu Qiubai picked up the glass: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
No one knew that after this meeting between Zhang Dongliang and Lu Qiubai, a storm was brewing~~~
The partnership of Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li was destined to be at odds from the very beginning.
Every time the two of them met with Feng Jingyao, Ding Li would express his opinion before Xu Wenqiang made his point. How could he have the awareness of being a younger brother?
Xu Wenqiang is a person who wants to be a big boss himself, while Ding Li is willing to be Feng Jingyao's thug, which is his ideal.
This doomed Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li to a bad ending. How could a team develop if its goals were inconsistent from the beginning?
Fortunately, for now, they are all under Feng Jingyao's command, ready to make great plans, and no major differences have been exposed.
Ding Li gradually forgot his unpleasant past and tried hard to gain Feng Jingyao's appreciation. At this time, a blow to him followed.
Lu Qiubai adopted Zhang Dongliang's suggestion and concentrated the first wave of firepower on Ding Li, turning the matter between Ding Li and Jin Rong upside down.
Rich families, gangs, women, torture, these topics are always hot, not to mention that the matter of Ding Li and Lao Jin has all the above elements. Soon, the public was in an uproar, and Ding Li's reputation resounded throughout Shanghai, but it was notorious.
Did Ding Li torture and kill Jia Yiren? Now that everyone is dead, there is no evidence. No one will believe Ding Li no matter how he defends himself. Besides, he has no place to defend himself.
To Feng Jingyao, Ding Li was originally an optional card, a little extra to recruit Xu Wenqiang.
"Boss, some newspapers have been reporting on Ding Li's affairs continuously. I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on us." A Xiang reported to Feng Jingyao while holding the newspaper.
"Hey, Xiang, don't worry. It's just that some gangs are unwilling to give up and want to make a fuss about this matter to get some benefits from it. It will be fine in a few days."
Feng Jingyao called Xu Wenqiang and said, "Wenqiang, tell Ding Li not to show up in the company or in public in the near future. Wait until things calm down."
"Yes, Mr. Feng."
Unlike Ding Li who would just go crazy at home, Xu Wenqiang smelled something different.
Even after smelling the scent, he couldn't change anything because the attack on him came before he could even take any action.
In order to cover the escape of the traitor, Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li slaughtered the blue-shirted team in front of the gate of Feng Mansion, and this matter was also exposed in the newspapers.
Taking advantage of the popularity of the Ding Li and Lao Jin incident, Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li were also involved in treason, which was widely spread and aroused public outrage for a while.
A large crowd gathered at the gate of Feng Jingyao's mansion, shouting slogans such as "Down with traitors, eradicate hooligans" and angrily denouncing Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li.
