Chapter 382 - 343: Big Bro is Aloof and Cool, Big Bro is Awesome
’Tianxin Technology can’t compete on merit, so they resort to dirty tricks. Is this what passes for an Eastern chip giant?’
’Some giant. They’ve certainly got a whole playbook for manipulating public opinion!’
...
The original exposé was flooded with comments, most of which accused Tianxin Technology Company of malicious slander.
Ye Ling was also monitoring social media activity in the United States, and it didn’t take long for him to notice these comments.
However, when he saw the comments, he wasn’t angry in the slightest. Instead, a faint smile played on his lips.
"President Ye, they took the bait, just as we expected!" Chen Lin’s voice came from the other side of the screen.
"It seems that even after the launch of the Tianxin-1, some people still don’t take our Tianxin Technology Company seriously," Ye Ling quipped with a smile.
Just how strong was Tianxin Technology Company?
It was true that compared to a veteran enterprise like Mitsubishi Technology Company, its foundations were much shallower. However, one thing was undeniable: when it came to 7nm chips, Tianxin Technology Company had completely surpassed Mitsubishi Technology Company.
So, this claim that Tianxin Technology Company couldn’t compete and had to resort to slander to crush its rivals—did it really hold water?
It was complete nonsense, plain and simple!
In the contest between Mitsubishi Technology Company and Tianxin Technology Company, if anyone needed to resort to such tactics, it would have been Mitsubishi Technology Company.
After all, Tianxin Technology Company’s growth had been astonishingly fast. They were like a dark horse that had burst onto the scene out of nowhere!
"Execute phase two of the plan!" Ye Ling said to Chen Lin.
That’s right. Ye Ling had fully anticipated that Mitsubishi Technology Company would try to shift the blame and claim it was all slander.
Even though Ye Ling had presented compelling evidence in this wave of revelations, a company of that caliber couldn’t be seriously affected by a sudden internet exposé alone.
Were there few companies that had been hit by major scandals?
Not at all!
In fact, you could say that among the top corporations today, which one doesn’t have some dark history?
But think about it: can you still recall which company was once embroiled in what dark history?
You probably can’t think of any off the top of your head, can you?
The internet has a short memory, and so do people.
Over time, these so-called "dark histories" are gradually buried by corporate powers using all sorts of methods, leaving little impression on the public mind!
...
Then, about two hours after Mitsubishi Technology Company issued its statement, another article suddenly appeared on the internet, instantly sending the entire web into an uproar.
The reason this article caused such an uproar was primarily due to its author.
Because! The author of this article was Ning Tianliang!
Who was Ning Tianliang?
The current chairman of Ning International!
In Xia Country today, saying you didn’t know Ning Tianliang was like saying you didn’t know Ma Baobao.
Are you still on a 2G connection?
Thus, the moment Ning Tianliang’s article was published, it captured the entire internet’s attention.
"@Mitsubishi Technology Company. I have a few things to say about the statement your company just released!
First of all, you claim that Tianxin Technology Company is spreading rumors because it’s afraid of you?
I’m genuinely curious, what gave you the delusion that Tianxin Technology Company needs to be intimidated by you?
Have you had too much caffeine today?
Tianxin Technology Company may have been founded less than six months ago, but its 7nm chips outperform your chips by forty percent. And let me tell you a little something else: Tianxin Technology Company’s 5nm chips are already in production!
Secondly, you call this ’spreading rumors’?
Are you people illiterate? What’s a rumor? You’re calling a slam-dunk case a rumor? The evidence laid out in the original exposé was more than comprehensive! Go and study the definition of the word ’rumor’ before you issue another statement like this!"
...
’Holy shit! Mr. Ning actually showed up! All hail the boss!’
’The boss! The boss! I’ve found the big boss! Let me ride your coattails!’
...
’The boss is right. Aren’t the people at Mitsubishi Technology Company a little too full of themselves?’
’Exactly! Does Tianxin Technology Company really need to be intimidated by them? Tianxin Technology is at the top of its game right now. Why would they fear a company that’s just been hit with a scandal?’
’And they talk about slander? I think *their* actions are the real slander! Tianxin Technology Company didn’t do a thing, and now they’re getting counter-accused!’
...
Countless netizens whipped out their golden keyboards and launched a ferocious assault on Mitsubishi Technology Company.
Since it was a weekend, a huge number of netizens joined the fray. The number of concurrent users on major social media platforms even shattered all-time records!
One social media platform’s servers even crashed from the immense traffic.
Many netizens went straight to Mitsubishi Technology Company’s official social media page and began flaming them relentlessly.
It was the weekend, and the social media manager for Mitsubishi Technology Company’s official account was slacking off when he suddenly noticed the traffic seemed off. The moment he checked the page, he nearly jumped out of his skin.
In just over half an hour, tens of thousands of comments and private messages had popped up!
When he saw the content, a chill ran down his spine. Trembling, he shut off the comment and private message functions.
’What the hell.’
’What kind of mess is this?!’
’He was just a low-level employee trying to slack off. Why was this happening to him?’
After Mitsubishi Technology Company’s social media manager disabled comments, the netizens felt their target had vanished, leaving them with a sense of emptiness.
So, they all flocked to Tianxin Technology Company’s official social media page instead.
’Hahaha, go look next door! Mitsubishi Technology Company shut down their comments, so we had to come here! Big bro, lead us to victory!’
’LMAO, what a move from Mitsubishi Technology, trying to blame Tianxin? Wouldn’t it be easier to just lie down and wait to die?’
’Totally!’
’But speaking of which, our big bro is so aloof. They haven’t even posted anything...’
’That’s what makes our big bro so badass! They don’t have to do a thing and they’ve already blown Mitsubishi Technology Company to bits!’
’The post above is right!’
...
BUZZ. BUZZ.
Ye Ling was scrolling through the news online when the phone beside him suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
Seeing it was Zhu Yun calling, Ye Ling answered immediately.
"President Ye, you need to check Tianxin Technology Company’s official social media page, quickly!" Zhu Yun said urgently the moment he picked up.
