Chapter 568 The Awkward Reversal

As another subsidiary of the Westeros system from obscurity to rapid rise, Nokia's stock price surged on the first day of listing and once again became a hot object of mainstream media around the world.

After the weekend, a forward-looking article led by Nokia in the latest issue of Forbes in North America became the hottest topic at the end of August.

"Forbes" magazine said in an article that it will officially announce the 1993 list of the 400 richest people in the United States on September 6, and the global rich list will also be launched in November.

If it were the past few years, the position of the richest man in the United States and the world may still be suspenseful. Japanese real estate tycoons, the Walton family, and so on are quite powerful competitors.

In the current rich list, there is almost no suspense in the top position.

The only thing people are curious about is how much Simon Westero's net worth has increased this year.

The lawsuits and media clamor caused by the 58list website fraud case have not been alleviated by Nokia's listing and the upcoming "Forbes" rich list, but have become more and more popular.

After the San Francisco Chronicle carried out a follow-up to this fraud case, other paper media responded one after another, and various places in the United States raised various questions about 58list.

A Chicago city councillor publicly accused Igret of indulging irresponsible citizens to post on the 58list website the publication of the Chicago area's prohibition of breeding of Pitbull dogs on the local "Chicago Sun" on August 23.

The Texas "Houston Chronicle" published screenshot evidence that alleged illegal sales of spring information were found on 58list.

A pair of young parents in Miami wants to sell their three-month-old daughter on 58list.

A user in Washington found his stolen car on the New York City plate.

As such.

At the same time, other cases similar to the San Francisco job search fraud also appeared in the newspaper.

After the initial silent wait-and-see, taking advantage of this fraud case, the traditional paper media almost invariably and suddenly made efforts, apparently intending to put the 58list website, which has been open for less than a month, into the cradle.

Public opinion continued until later, a Republican senator from the United States Congress said in an interview with the Washington Post that he would submit to the Congressional hearing on whether the 58list website of Igret Inc. is suspected of condoning criminal conduct and endangering public safety. Initiate further investigation and litigation.

The rebound of traditional paper media is completely expected.

According to user data released by major operators in July and August, as of June 30, the first half of 1993 was only in the United States. The number of users accessing the World Wide Web reached 37.69 million, and the number of Internet users reached more than 60 million. It is estimated that 1993 Throughout the year, the number of users accessing the World Wide Web in the United States will reach about 46 million, and the number of Internet users covered will approach 75 million.

75 million netizens are already close to 30% of the total US population of 260 million.

Although there is still a large gap between household appliances such as TV sets and telephones that have a coverage rate of more than 90%, it still cannot be ignored. The 30% coverage users are definitely the most powerful people in the United States.

Similarly, this group of people is also the highest quality customer in the US paper industry.

Even though many people are still reluctant to admit it, with the rapid popularity of the Internet, the decline of the traditional paper media industry is becoming more and more obvious.

Users only need to spend tens of dollars per month to enjoy more abundant and timely news information, e-mail, social networks, online games and other services, naturally no longer need to subscribe to traditional newspapers.

Originally in space and time, in June 1993, the New York Times Group acquired a large newspaper on the East Coast, the Boston Post, for $1.1 billion.

Probably felt the decline of the paper media industry. Although this transaction has also occurred, the transaction value is only 800 million US dollars, and the price has fallen by almost 30%. This change is obviously affected by the rise of Internet media.

The traditional paper media industry has probably been waiting for certain opportunities.

The opening of the 58list website and the occurrence of the San Francisco scam finally gave the traditional paper media an excuse to send an issue to Igret.

After all, just over half a month after its opening, millions of classified advertisements on 58list have already caused hundreds of millions of dollars of potential losses to the traditional paper-based classified advertising business.If the free classified information sites of the Internet platform are popular from now on, the traditional paper media will have an annual revenue of US$20 billion in advertising.

The huge loss of US$20 billion, if it is not very scattered among thousands of American newspapers, involves such a huge sum of industrial income, let alone killing people and setting fire, even a war is enough.

It is not that American paper media groups have not instigated war.

Simon attached great importance to the performance of this crisis of public opinion and personally participated in the formation of a crisis management team for this incident. However, he did not feel too enemies in his heart.

Such a historical trend at the level of an industrial revolution is simply not something that a public opinion offensive can resist.

Even if the 58list website was really closed under pressure, Igret actually did not lose much.

The fire has been ignited, and even if 58list is shut down, there will inevitably be more classified information sites.

Without the support of Igreat’s strong strength, those classified information sites that are mixed can only bring more potential threats to users, and they cannot use private investigation teams to protect users’ rights.

The team led by Martin Dinham took only three days to confirm the suspected target, but there was a problem during the tracing phase.

Probably it felt like something was going wrong. When the team found some suspects' residences, the targets had already fled in advance.Fortunately, through more follow-up clues, the investigation team further confirmed the identity of the suspected target.

Originally it was only necessary for the victim to confirm and issue a wanted order through official channels. However, these days, it is clear that some people do not want this fraud case to be detected. The San Francisco police who should have performed well after the case received widespread media attention Obviously slack.

Even the two victims who had agreed to cooperate with the investigation of the Igret team suddenly stopped contact with Igrit, leaving only the official resignation of the lawyer each time.

It is conceivable that once the arrest warrant is issued, the suspect will only escape to a more hidden place. With the attitude shown by the San Francisco police, it is more difficult to catch people.

Simon made up his mind to conduct Liwei through this incident, warning potential criminals who wanted to commit crimes on the Igreat platform.

Aware of the official passive downtime, Simon directly mobilized half of his own intelligence team to gather in San Francisco, and quietly released three confirmed suspects of 100,000 each in the underground world of western states and even Mexico and the United States. Reward for the dollar.

For gangsters with news that is far more informed than the official throughout North America, a head of $100,000 is definitely not a small number.

Hiring a professional killer does not necessarily require so much money.

As a result, the reward order spread within less than a week, and news soon came that someone asked Martin Dinham, who was in charge of the matter, to bring cash to the city of Tijuana, Mexico, which borders southern California.

Sure enough, he fled to Mexico.

If the official issued a wanted order, unless those people returned to the United States, it would be delusional to catch people.

Moreover, it is not the three people who issued the reward, but a total of five.

The local gangsters in Tijuana were very generous. They certainly didn’t know why these people were rewarded. However, since only three people were rewarded, they only received $300,000, and the other two were considered as free gifts, and expressed their hopes There is still a chance to'co-operate'.

After all, there are a lot of people who flee from the United States to Mexico every year for various reasons,

If they are all so valuable, it is a big business.

The head of the gang who approached Martin Dinham also said that he can deal with people directly in Mexico, which is much lower than the risk of bringing them back to North America. Only a little money can make a few people completely disappear.At that time, some unlucky eggs that were tied to the side of the big flowers and placed like cargoes were scared to urinate on the spot.

Immediately, in the tumultuous public opinion, five scammers suddenly appeared and took the initiative to enter the San Francisco local police station to surrender.

Under the victim's self-confidence and other kinds of evidence, the criminal appeared in front of him. Even if he didn't want to solve the case any more, the official would not be able to continue with the mud, so the five-person fraud gang was quickly formally arrested.

However, this is just the beginning.

When the various paper media have not responded to the accusations of accusing Igerett, news broke out that after interrogation, this scam gang turned out to be a long-standing habitual criminal. Before committing fraud through 58list, it still relied on traditional newspapers. The classified information advertisements carried out too many scams, but they were never caught.

Until planted in this'novel' online fraud.

Because the incident was so loud, the photos of the five suspects were quietly circulating on the Internet, as if to confirm the confessions of the five people. In Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and other places, the victims came forward and believed that they had encountered five people. Most of the scams are fooled by classified information ads in traditional paper media.

This immediately became lively.

Igerett’s crisis management team for this incident has been arguing one thing during this time. The scams on 58list, similar cases that occurred through traditional paper media are very common. The Igerett portal also listed a series of More serious fraud cases.

It's just that the traditional paper media that is condemning 58list has chosen to ignore it.

Everyone is talking about things, don't talk about anything else.

Now, well, just talk about things.

The criminal gangs of this incident used traditional paper media to implement job scams throughout North America. In just a few days, it has been confirmed that there are 7 police programs. So many criminal incidents, the relevant newspapers did not give victims a Confessed that the police did not detect related cases.

Now, just beginning to commit crimes on 58list, the entire gang was captured in less than half a month.

So, which of the traditional paper media and network platforms is more reliable?Which one is really conniving at crime?Which one can better protect the interests of users?

People's eyes are sharp.

During this time, the Igrid portal has been very frankly introducing the details of the incident and the progress of the case to the user in a prominent position on the website, and has also given official responses and solutions to the various queries in the newspaper.Therefore, although the traditional paper media is almost one-sided crusade against 58list, this free classified information service platform has not been affected much, but has become more popular.

With the detection of the San Francisco job scam case and the accidental reversal of the details of the case, the situation of public opinion is leaning on the side of the Igret portal.

After all, although the traditional paper media still has a strong ability to spread public opinion, the same is true of the Igrid portal, which almost monopolized the Internet entrance.

The entire North America has exceeded 60 million netizens, and the average daily user of the Igrid portal also reaches 20 million. Such an information dissemination platform covering the entire United States has far exceeded the influence of any federal newspaper.

To the extent that things have developed to this level, Yan Qi Xi is obviously the most correct choice, but some people are obviously not reconciled.

So insider broke out again.

In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, the five members of the fraud gang publicly stated that they had been illegally detained and threatened by death by Igret, and had to surrender to the police in order to preserve their lives.The five suspects subsequently announced that they would sue Igret for serious violations of civil rights.

The media suddenly became lively again.

Immediately afterwards, there were tabloids that exposed more detailed inside information. In order to arrest this scam gang, Igrid had issued a reward to the entire United States and even the underground world of Mexico. Moreover, Igrid seemed to be still with Mexico. The gang is involved.

The media's exposure of these big data is obviously intended to discredit Igret and even the entire Westeros system. However, things obviously have not followed the development of some people's minds.

The people who eat melons only feel that the excitement is getting bigger and bigger.

Westerners don't actually have too distinct values ​​that are black and white. This can be seen from the fact that bad guys are often washed in white in many Hollywood blockbusters.

In order to arrest a group of scammers, Eaglet Company did not hesitate to issue a reward to the entire North America, but also pursued Mexico across the border to tie people back. This is completely a Robin Hood-style chivalrous behavior.

As for illegal detention and death threats?

You are villains.

Shouldn't the villains be this kind of treatment?

Of course, regarding the media's breaking news and allegations of fraudulent gangs, Igerett firmly denied it.

Illegal detention does not exist.

Death threat?

Have the ability to let the Mexican gang come forward to testify for you?

Of course, if someone continues to use the Igret online platform to commit crimes, Igrit will ensure user rights at all costs.

Threat?

Of course not, this is just a very kind reminder.

San Francisco, Palo Alto.

The time is Friday, September 3.

Things are basically settled.

In a reception room at the headquarters of Igret, under the arrangement of the company, 58list CEO Michael Novarek is being interviewed by CNN regarding the events that occurred in the past.

“Actually, all of the federal authorities have accused the illegal listing of dog breeds on the 58list platform, illegal selling of spring dogs, human trafficking and other illegal posts. Our reviewers gave the removal ban within 30 minutes, which did not cause substantial to users. Damage, so similar allegations are completely unreasonable. Moreover, in addition to the fact that the information filtering system automatically screens tens of thousands of illegal information every day, we continue to recruit manual reviewers to ensure the maximum compliance of the platform information."

Interview with Michael Novarek female reporter named Laura Spencer, in her 20s, wearing a white OL suit, some baby face looks slightly green, but it is not polite to ask questions: "So, Mr. Novarek, how do you ensure that the scams that occurred just now will not reappear?"

Michael Novarek said: "Unfortunately, UU is reading www.uukanshu.com. We can't ensure this. I don't think any advertising platform can ensure this. However, we have given users enough tips, everyone. If you are vigilant, you can avoid similar incidents to the greatest extent. And, even if something that everyone does not want happens, just like this time, we will do everything possible to help users recover losses.

Laura Spencer nodded slightly, but was not polite: "In the last fraud case, several suspects accused the illegal detention and death threats of Igret, Mr. Novarek. Is this true? "

"of course not."

"So, why did they take the initiative to return to San Francisco from Mexico and surrender to the police, don't you think this is very unreasonable?"

"It's really unreasonable, but I think everyone wants to see this result. Or, Laura, do you want them to remain impunity?"

"I just want to know, why did they surrender to the police on their own initiative?"

Michael Novarek was not impatient with Laura Spencer's questioning, but instead showed some ridiculous smiles: "Laura, you just said it yourself, they are active."

"..."

In the outside of the reception room, Simon listened to the conversation between the two through the glass window. He also raised the corner of his mouth and said to Bezos: "The next thing will be left to you. I plan to take Jenny on maternity leave. Until November. Jeff, don’t care. In addition, in Washington, although I have some arrangements, you should set up a fixed lobbying office as soon as possible. They can certainly help us, but if you don’t give them face, they can continue to pester you for several years.”
