Chapter 219: Turning the Tables

A week passed quickly, and with the continuous viral publicity online, everyone's discussion of the topic 'Toy Soul' had reached an extremely enthusiastic level.

It can be said that now there is no need for Zhou Ming and the army of Internet trolls hired by Steve Jobs to post again. On major well-known bbs, there will be a constant stream of discussion posts about 'the soul of toys'. Under the influence of the collective effect , netizens not only discussed whether toys have a soul, but also expressed their own thoughts on the subject, wanting to see the real world of toys. Some even posted about the creation of spirits and souls in myths and legends.

In the morning Zhou Ming got up as usual and turned on his computer, clicking on each forum to read the posts. As expected, the thread on 'toy souls' had been deleted.

Suddenly Zhou Ming's phone rang. He answered it. It was Steve Jobs: 'Mr Zhou Ming, I'm afraid something's happened. You remember I told you about it. Now all the media are reporting on the topic we launched about toy souls?'

'Of of course I remember, but didn't all these media just mention the topic briefly online? Has any media already started to seriously investigate this matter?' asked Zhou Ming.

'Yes exactly,' said Jobs with a sigh. 'I remember telling you before that the New York TV station was preparing a special programme on the Soul of Toys, and this morning I saw that the San Times published a news article with the headline 'Paranormal Hype Scam', criticising our Soul of Toys as a conspiracy by a film company to hype the latest movie.

' am not surprised at all. After all, some guys won't let me succeed so easily.' Zhou Ming replied pointlessly, then asked, 'So what's the progress of the movie production?'

Jobs thought for a moment and replied, 'I'm sorry, we're still a little short of the finishing line, but I can immediately invite the director over to edit the film, and I'm confident that we can finish it within five days.'

However, Zhou Ming said, 'Three days. We're afraid we don't have that much time to waste. We must race against time.'

Jobs was very surprised: 'Three days? Mr. Zhou Ming, with all due respect, we don't seem to be in such a hurry. I understand your concern about the obstacles from the other Down's family heirs, but the die is cast. Even if they criticise us in the media criticise us in the media, it will only increase our exposure. I don't think that those who have been piqued by the curiosity of the toy's soul will not go to the cinema because of a few reports.'

'I understand what you're saying, but my worries are not what you think, so you just have to trust me,' said.

Faced with Ming Zhou's vague explanation, Steve Jobs was at a loss for words. If someone else had said this to him, he would have had at least a hundred reasons to refuse, but with Ming Zhou, he only had one answer.

'Okay Okay, I understand. I will personally supervise this film and do my best to ensure its perfection. (WWW.mianhuatang.CC好看的小說棉花糖' Jobs replied.

'Thank you very much for your understanding. Then you can send it to the Film Association for review as soon as it is completed. I have already set a release date for the distribution.' Zhou Ming said:

'So it was all a conspiracy. You had it all planned out and didn't tell me. You're a ruthless dictator!'

Jobs finally scolded Ming Zhou, then hung up the phone. Ming Zhou couldn't help but smile. He never imagined that the legendary Steve Jobs also had such a tsundere attribute. He says no, but as long as he gives the order, he will still do it without fail, and he may even go above and beyond, as in the case of the current production schedule.

But there is nothing I can do about it. After all, there is a more attractive event that is attracting public opinion. If I don't take this opportunity to release the movie now,

then (the chapter is not finished, please turn the page) there may not be another opportunity.

Zhou Ming thought to himself, and glanced at the wall calendar. He had circled January 17th in red.

The end the phone call with Steve Jobs, Ming Zhou changed his clothes and went out to Jieke. The first thing he did when he arrived at the company was to find Cheng Qian and ask him to notify everyone in the company to go to the meeting room for a meeting.

Ming Zhou sat in the meeting room, watching Cheng Qian and the other employees of Jieke enter the room one by one. After everyone had taken their seats, Zhou Ming immediately stood up and asked, 'Did you all go to the bar last night and drink all night? Or did you go find a prostitute and release all your energy for the night? Why are you all sitting here listlessly today?'

In response to Zhou Ming's question, everyone lowered their heads, except for Cheng Qian, who after a long moment of deliberation said, 'Vice President Zhou, they have just consumed their passion too seriously. After all, the current market situation is very unfavorable to us.'

'Cheng ex-general manager, I don't think there's any need for you to beat about the bush. You can be more direct. Don't you mean to say that I haven't been interfering with you for some time now?' asked Zhou Ming.

'Is isn't that the case? Vice President Zhou, I have always looked up to you as an idol. I firmly believe that you will find a way to solve any problem that arises. We will follow you and work together to create a Jaco miracle. But you have let us down disappointed. You haven't checked on the marketing department's performance for a long time, and you haven't even given us a meeting. This would have been absolutely impossible in the past!'

This time it was the new employee Zhou Heng who spoke Zhou Heng, a new employee, was speaking. He accused Zhou Ming in a very agitated manner, and under his influence, the others also complained.

Facing the complaints in the meeting room, Zhou Ming sneered and said, 'Are you all children who have not been weaned?'

His words Everyone froze in their tracks. Zhou Ming then added, 'You all say that you want to follow me to create a Jacko miracle. So I want to ask you: What are you? Dead people? Or babies who are still dependent on their mothers and will only cry if they are separated from them?'

'It's true that I did not care, but Jacko is still here. Did he give up too?' Zhou Ming continued said, 'It's fine to say that I've given up, but in my opinion, you've actually given up yourselves. You're unwilling to think of a solution to the difficulties you're facing, so you can only choose to escape, choosing to blame on me, thinking that my giving up caused your giving up, so that you won't blame yourselves. But in fact, no one has ever thought about why you can't think of a solution.

Zhou Ming's words are like pearls of wisdom, resounding like the sound of a gong, entering everyone's heart, causing them to lower their heads in shame.

Because the truth was exactly that. Zhou Ming's words had directly punctured their veil of shame, leaving them furious but unable to refute a single word.

Zhou Ming looked at their appearance and felt gratified. At least they still had some self-respect and would not shamelessly continue to bully and cheat.

So Zhou Ming continued, 'I know that I have been busy with other things for some time and have lacked concern for you and Jackel Company, but I can assure you that I have not forgotten Jackel. In fact, what I have been doing is to a large extent also to solve Jackel's current situation.'

Everyone looked up in surprise looked up in surprise and looked at Zhou Ming in disbelief, especially General Manager Cheng Qian, because he knew that Zhou Ming was investing in an animated film project. What does this have to do with Jieke Company?

'You all seem to be having trouble believing me?' Zhou Ming helplessly with his hands spread out. 'Okay, I'll explain it to you briefly. Recently, I've been using bbs to build momentum for the movie. I post online, then hire people to keep replying for me, and then discuss the questions I've raised, which in turn drives other people to discuss them as well, and finally

(this chapter is not not finished, please turn the page) to the effect of a promotional film.'

'And in this campaign, the most popular bbs is the Stanford community, where my topic is also most enthusiastically discussed. So enthusiastic that what? It even reached the point where the number of visits exceeded the load limit, to the point where the server crashed.'

At this point Zhou Ming deliberately paused for a moment and then asked, 'Do you have any ideas about this?'

Faced with the question the question thrown out, there was silence in the meeting room, and everyone looked at Zhou Ming blankly, until Zhou Ming gave them the keywords of technological innovation and Suffolk Company. Then Cheng Qian suddenly said, 'It's the upgrading of equipment!'

'The community's server crashed because its hardware was too outdated. Cheng Qian said, 'The Stanford community has always been a very popular bbs, so its server hardware is also very good, but it still cannot handle the current traffic. This is enough to show that the current hardware is outdated and must be replaced in the future, and this is an opportunity for all information technology companies!'

'Yes, exactly!' Zhou Ming smiled and continued, 'Nowadays, when we go to buy a computer, we can only see computers with 2m, 4m and 8m memory. The most advanced ones have 16m memory at most. But I want I would say that this is simply rubbish. In order to support the development of the internet, computer hardware must be updated and replaced more quickly. The collapse of the Stanford community server this time is a good breakthrough.'

After his tone, Zhou Ming continued, 'Stanford Community was originally the most well-known and popular bbs, so its server was obviously high-end, but it still experienced a failure that it could not handle the excessive traffic, let alone other bbs.'

'In addition, After I created a buzz online about the topic, it also made others see the potential of online public opinion, and more investment will definitely come into this sector. So after getting more investment, wouldn't these internet companies develop faster and renew themselves more? Isn't this an exciting business opportunity? Internet companies will not develop faster and will not renew themselves more? Isn't this an exciting business opportunity?'

Zhou Ming said and said to everyone in a very commanding manner, with his hands resting on the conference table, 'So in the face of such a business opportunity, are you still going to remain indifferent?'

To this question, everyone answered without hesitation: 'Of course not, we will definitely make good use of this business opportunity

! I'm sorry Vice President Zhou, we were foolish before, but from now on, we will definitely work twice as hard to catch this Internet express train!'

The meeting would have ended here, but in order to dispel all their doubts, Zhou Ming added at the end, 'Of course, in the past, some people have deliberately targeted us, but I think now that my movie is about to be released and the entire information technology industry is about to enter a period of explosive development, then I think no one will have time to pay attention to us.'

Hearing Zhou Ming others were just suddenly enlightened, but Cheng Qian was completely shocked, because he knew about the Tang family's affairs, and he also knew that the previous targeting of Jieke was done by a coalition of other Tang family heirs; but he didn't thought that Zhou Ming had actually played a trick on him by making a big fuss about the movie, distracting him while he secretly made his move, allowing him to ignore Jieke and then kill him with a counterattack.

This masterstroke was truly impressive! Cheng Qian thought to himself.

And as if as if to prove Zhou Ming's words, as soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, the door to the meeting room was knocked open by the receptionist, who told Zhou Ming, 'Suffolk Company called and wants to continue the contract with us, and for that they are willing to pay the previous penalty.'

Zhou Ming and laughed: 'It's a blessing in disguise. It seems you'll be busy for a long time to come.'
