Chapter 388 They fear power but not virtue

Chapter 388 They fear power but not virtue

Just as the Eagle King had expected, this time the Internet optical cable connecting to the dragon was completely disconnected, and all the partners responded.

And the response is quite positive.

Even the foot basin was not touched.

The Eagle King is still very satisfied with his appeal.

Of course, this matter cannot be hidden.

While the Eagle King was lobbying everywhere, rumors were already flying everywhere.

This news is exposed on Weibo from time to time.

And some of the exposed ones have noses and eyes.

This is a leak.

Therefore, when Eagle King just started to act, Wang Haoran already knew what actions the other party was going to take.

"Mr. Wang, are they going to cut ties with us completely?" Ren Zhengfei was a little uneasy.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "They will come here sooner or later."

"Don't panic."

Ren Zhengfei said, however, if Giant Eagle and his partners completely cut ties with us, it would have a significant impact on us. After all, many of our products are sold in Europe as an important market.

"If we lose this big market, our efficiency will suddenly become very poor."

Wang Haoran stopped laughing and said, "Comrade Zhengfei, do you think we still need to import any products from Europe and the United States?"

Ren Zhengfei said: "It seems that it is not needed much anymore."

“We have actually made up for all the shortcomings.”

"Now, even in the area of ​​biopharmaceuticals, we have caught up and can produce more advanced drugs."

Wang Haoran said: "Since they can't provide us with any products that we don't have."

"So, we sell them our advanced products, what do they give in exchange?"

"They are now doing business with us using their own banknotes!"

"And they can use the money they print to buy our products, and we still recognize it, mainly because their money is recognized in many parts of the world."

"But now, we are accelerating the development of the global market. We are helping backward third world countries develop their economies and build their infrastructure."

"Our goal is to cultivate the market and get their minerals and energy."

"Comrade Zhengfei, in the future, the only countries that can complement us are energy and mineral countries."

“We provide high-quality products to the world, and the world provides us with raw materials.”

"If the European continent takes the initiative to cut off and close the door, they will be the ones who suffer the loss."

“Of course, they can protect their markets and then grow their industries the hard way.”

"But, their gang is all from industrial countries!"

“They need the support of the global market!”

"If we take away all the markets outside of their small group."

"So what do you think they should do in the future?"

“Where can they sell their inferior products?”

“Will they have internal conflicts?”

"I guess their cutting behavior won't last too long this time."

"Someone will definitely come out and surrender. That's for sure!"

After listening to Wang Haoran's analysis, Ren Zhengfei nodded and said, "After listening to you, I realized that I was too shallow."

"However, judging from their current trend, it seems that they want to forcibly ban our Internet software."

“Is this probably because they are panicking about losing control of their public opinion?”

Wang Haoran nodded approvingly and said, "Yes! They used to be able to guide public opinion easily."

"They used the media in their hands to weave a cocoon for the whole world."

"They always come here to say that the wind is wind and the rain is rain."

“Now, we dominate the Internet.”

"Then, our Internet social software and information social software occupy the largest number of users in their country. Their previous strategy of controlling public opinion has become ineffective."

"It's a remarkable thing that they have been able to endure until now."

Ren Zhengfei said: "By cutting off the Internet optical cable connection, they can indeed achieve their ulterior motives."

"If we want to influence and guide their people in terms of public opinion, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "We have actually completed the initial enlightenment of their people."

"They also roughly understand the current situation of the world."

"Of course, they have a lot of happy-educated naive people among them. It's not so easy for us to influence them, haha!"

"I guess we'll have some fun soon."

"They cut off our internet connection so simply and crudely, which will definitely anger their own people."

"Let's see what happens."

Ren Zhengfei said: "It will probably be a commotion for a while."

"But if it's not a big deal, it won't amount to anything."

"Because their people are very patient."

"Even if they have a biu in their hands, they dare not aim at the right people."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "The analysis is correct."

"Actually, the Eagle Lizard faction as a whole still adheres to the bloodline theory."

"If you don't believe me, just look at it. The old money of Eagle is still from those families."

"On Lao Ou's side, the nobles are still in control of the situation."

"Look at those kings and so on. They are all packaged as wise rulers."

"They appear harmless, but they still enjoy a huge supply."

"Isn't this still the theory of bloodline?"

The Lizards actually believe in fate and bloodline more than we do, that’s for sure.

In the entire Lizard Country, truly rising grassroots are almost non-existent.

This is the bloody reality.

Ren Zhengfei said: "But we can't just wait for them to make a move, right?"

"Shouldn't we also take proactive action and do something before they claim to disconnect us from the Internet?"

Wang Haoran said: "Let's just send them a notice and ask them."

"If they say they are determined to break off relations with us, then we will condemn their gross violation of people's right to choose. At the same time, we will also impose penalties for such behavior."

"For example, we cut off their supply of cutting-edge chips and prohibit them from using our Internet-licensed technology, until we stop providing them with Internet infrastructure."

"We have cards to play with, too."

"Of course, before playing this card, we must first occupy the moral high ground."

……

Pangu Technology quickly sent a notice to Giant Eagle and its series of partners asking whether they should disconnect the optical cable connection with Giant Dragon.

This is their official attitude.

When the Giant Eagle receives this inquiry notice, it naturally needs to notify the Eagle King immediately.

After reading the notice, Eagle King said nonchalantly: "Are they trying to threaten us?"

"Haidson, tell me, what threats can they make against us?"

Hydson said cautiously, "Your Majesty, they must have many countermeasures."

“They have a lot of products that we need. If they cut off those products, it will be very difficult for us.”

"Of course, this kind of pain is inevitable."

The Eagle King tapped the table with his hand and said, "You're right! Labor pains are inevitable!"

"Our companies won't put their heart into research and development unless we push them!"

"If they cut off our supply of those products, we can just force domestic companies to speed up their research on alternatives!"

"Then reply to them! Tell them that if they are willing to separate the English, Japanese and French versions of the software they run in our country and hand them over to us for control, we will postpone cutting off the Internet optical cable connecting the two countries for one month!" Hydeson naturally went to do as the Eagle King ordered.

Soon, Giant Eagle’s reply was placed on Wang Haoran’s desk.

After reading it, Wang Haoran smiled, shook his head and said to Ren Zhengfei: "These guys really shine when they are given some sunshine!"

"Do they think they have something on us?"

Ren Zhengfei said: "These people have one thing in common: when the iron fist does not hit them, they do not feel pain."

"When you talk to them in a friendly way, they think you are showing weakness."

"They are actually afraid of power but not virtue."

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "That's a very accurate summary."

"What these guys need is a good beating."

"I think we should just respond to them like this..."

……

CNN reporter Colt has been feeling a little uneasy lately.

Because he had already received news that the Eagle would join forces with its partners to cut off the Internet optical cable connecting to the Dragon.

Cutting off the connecting optical cable means that you will probably not be able to access Weibo or use software such as Penguin Chat in Giant Eagle.

And Weibo is now Colt's lifeblood.

Colt's official profession is a journalist.

However, he is also secretly a big V on Weibo.

He has a huge number of fans on Weibo, more than 10 million.

This number of fans gives him huge influence.

It also brought him huge income.

He earns more than 5 dollars a month just from traffic subsidies!

He can also do advertising. By advertising for businesses, he can earn more than $100,000 a month.

This brings his income to more than two million dollars a year.

This income is much higher than what he earned as a reporter.

He only makes about $9 a month as a reporter.

Nowadays, green paper is worthless.

The prices in Giant Eagle are about to go through the roof.

If he relied solely on the income from being a journalist, he would not be able to support his family.

So, Weibo is very important to him.

But now, Giant Eagle is actually going to cut off the optical cable in order to completely ban Weibo?
The thought of this made him angry.

Colt has written several blog posts criticizing the practice of cutting fiber optic cables.

He wrote in a blog post: "Weibo has more than 100 million users in Juying. Almost all Juying people who go online use Weibo!"

“But now, they are actually going to cut off the optical cables and brutally prohibit the free choice of more than 100 million users!”

"They keep saying they want to protect our freedoms, but they are lying!"

"It's purely because Weibo has infringed upon the interests and privileges of those gentlemen, so now they want to kill it!"

"Those guys who claim to be elites have made the Giant Eagle look unrecognizable."

"Now, for their own selfish interests, in order to cover up the truth, to create a cocoon, and to continue to deceive us, they are going to cut off the optical cable!"

"This is a crime against the people of Giant Eagle!"

"If we don't act now, our lives will be even more difficult in the future."

"Let's all go to the White House website and petition! We must make them change their minds!"

Colt is a big V after all.

His influence is extraordinary.

As soon as he made this call, millions of people flocked to the official website of the White House.

The Eagle Palace has a rule that if the number of signatures on a petition exceeds 10, then the Eagle Palace must respond to the public's call.

In fact, it was not just Colt who called on the public to petition.

Other big Vs in Giant Eagle are also making calls.

Because if the Internet optical cable is cut off, it would be almost equivalent to cutting off their source of income.

Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing his parents; this is an irreconcilable feud.

Therefore, the entire Weibo was almost filled with curses for what Eagle King was determined to do.

Giant Eagle does not ban guns, and everyone can own a gun.

However, no one dared to really cause trouble.

However, we still have the courage to protest and petition.

For a time, many people flocked to the White House petition website to petition.

Unfortunately, the server capacity of this website is actually quite average.

At most, it can allow 10,000 people to log in and operate the page at the same time.

But now, within a short period of time, the public sentiment is surging, and there are hundreds of thousands of people logging into the website at the same time.

The website crashed instantly.

The crashed website is impossible to log in to and has turned into garbled text.

The White House was also in chaos.

Because not only many people went online to ask for an explanation.

Many people also came to the Eagle Palace offline to protest.

For two or three consecutive days, more than 10,000 people gathered at the gate of the Eagle Palace every day, staying in the petition and protest area designated by Department F and shouting slogans loudly.

"Protest! We want to go on Weibo, we want to use Penguin to chat!"

“Please listen to the voice of the people!”

"We strongly request that the Eagle King respond!"

"Cutting off the Internet cables is just making things difficult for the people!"

The noise was very loud.

Eagle King stayed in his office. Although he was far away from the protesting crowd, he could still hear the huge noise.

The Eagle King's face was very gloomy.

Hudson knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Majesty, according to the petition website, more than one million people have signed the petition so far."

The Eagle King said, "Isn't the website down?"

"Tell the staff to clean up the data and ignore it!"

"Your Majesty, the protest is quite loud," said Hyderson.

"Moreover, it's not just the Eagle Palace that's causing the commotion. All the big cities in Giant Eagle are in turmoil."

The Eagle King said, "So what?"

"Just let them make a fuss! Let them vent their emotions, and when they are tired, they will go home!"

"Haidson, now that this matter has been decided, then we cannot allow it to be abandoned halfway!"

"We must destroy all their websites and software!"

"Only in this way can we continue to win the hearts and minds of the people!"

Hyderson nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Eagle King said: "If some people make too much noise, just catch them and make them work on sewing machines!"

……

As a reporter, Colt naturally came to the front line of the protest.

He looked gloomily at the noisy crowd around him and the rows of stern-looking F department employees across from him. Colt thought, it seems that this is of no use at all. (End of this chapter)
