The Matchmaker Can Do Whatever They Want

In the immortal realms, it’s rumored that Wang Yao, the Matchmaker, is untouchable. Offending others might lead to a fight, but offending the Matchmaker could lead to your family tree’s next versio...

Chapter 497 Stance

"Everyone is encouraged to brainstorm and come up with feasible solutions," Wang Yao said decisively.

“It’s not difficult to establish channels in the foreign lands. After all, the foreign lands have always advocated freedom of speech. Even if we set up a distribution company in the foreign lands under the name of the Heavenly Women’s Federation, it should be fine. The difficulty is how to make an impact. Otherwise, it will be a bottomless pit.”

"It's the kind of investment that you can't make a sound no matter how much money you throw in. Not only does it fail to achieve the desired publicity effect, but we've essentially helped the foreign powers with their construction," said Fairy Ruan.

"Could we hire a group of foreigners who are familiar with this kind of thing? They were born and raised in foreign lands and are familiar with the local situation. They should be able to understand the local people's tastes and quickly open up the market, right?" Wang Yao asked, frowning.

"It's hard to say. The spy agency is an old establishment with a thousand-year history in the foreign border region. If we go there and build a new one, no matter what expert we hire to run it, it will be difficult to make a difference in a short time." Chen Lin shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this.

“Then let’s not follow the usual path. Anyway, that channel is located in the foreign border. Let’s open gambling dens and prostitution. We’ll do whatever it takes to win people’s hearts and minds. We just want to make a breakthrough in the short term!” Wang Yao said angrily.

“This is inappropriate, inappropriate…” Fairy Ruan was shocked upon hearing this and shook her head repeatedly. “Foreign media have developed significantly and have formed their own business models. Those that run gambling operations, especially those involving prostitution, are channels that cannot be brought to the table and are unlikely to gain widespread credibility.”

"What are we going to do? We haven't even started this work yet, and we already have a ton of problems. Aren't we doomed to lose this propaganda war before it even begins?" Wang Yao was getting impatient.

"Don't be in such a hurry. You yourself said it's a tactical issue. If tactical issues were easy, wouldn't we be able to win without lifting a finger? Nothing in this world is that simple." Fairy rolled her eyes at Wang Yao.

"Let's start from the beginning. First, everyone agrees to place the propaganda channels in the foreign territory, right?" As she spoke, the fairy looked around at everyone present.

Everyone present, including Wang Yao and Chen Lin, frowned and nodded.

"Alright, let's talk about the second thing. Do you all think it's better to build it ourselves or to buy it?" The fairy lowered her head and made a note, then asked again.

"To generate a significant publicity effect, I estimate we need to take a two-pronged approach: in addition to building our own infrastructure, we also need to recruit a large number of employees in the major channels of the foreign trade sector. Otherwise, our publicity topics won't get any buzz."

Fairy Ruan glanced at Chen Lin, whose face had turned somewhat pale from Wang Yao's outburst, and spoke.

"Director Chen, what do you think?" Fairy Maiden then asked Chen Lin.

“That’s what I meant too, but…” Chen Lin said, then looked at Wang Yao.

"Just say what you have to say. I was just feeling down, it's not like I was taking it out on you," Wang Yao said irritably.

"There are actually distinctions to be made here. For example, if you build it yourself, you need to understand the stance of which foreigners or foreign gurus you should invite. Otherwise, it's easy to make things worse and turn into a scandal. The same goes for bribery. When you're hyping things up, you can't just sing one tune."

"Ideally, it should have both the front and the back; that's more likely to produce an effect," Chen Lin said.

"You've raised the questions I'd like to ask next. Let's go through them one by one and decide how we'll get our channels first," the fairy said with a smile, then turned to Teacher Luo, who sat to the left of Chen Lin.

Finally, the fairy master reached a consensus and decided that the propaganda channels should not only be built in the foreign territory themselves, but also that a large number of foreign territory channels should be bought off.

The fairy lowered her head and made another note, then looked up and smiled at everyone.

"Alright, the third question is under what name to build them. I have some suggestions on this. In the past, in order to improve relations with the Western Realm, strengthen exchanges between the two sides, and promote the traditional culture of our Six Realms, the Heavenly Court approved the establishment of many private institutions in the Western Realm by the Six Realms."

"Some of them used names that were not characteristic of our Six Sects in order not to offend the foreign community. Now, as the foreign community’s hostility toward our Six Sects has deepened, most of these organizations have ceased operations. I think we can use the shells of these private organizations to establish distribution channels."

"What do you think?" the fairy asked with a smile.

"That depends on the institution. In the past, the Heavenly Court established many Sanqing Academy in the Western Regions to help develop education, which was a good thing, wasn't it? But the Western Regions accused it of being a base for cultural aggression by the Heavenly Court and said that the Sanqing Academy was engaged in espionage."

"This has ruined the reputation of Sanqing Academy in the Western world. They've wasted a lot of money letting foreigners study there for nothing, and in the end, they're caught in the middle. I heard that many Sanqing Academies have been ordered to close down by the Western world. You can't rely on them now," Teacher Luo said immediately.

"Of course I won't go to the Sanqing Academy. It has such a great reputation. Actually, there are many private institutions in the past. We should find one in the human or demon realm. If we can be as discreet as possible, then we should be as discreet as possible," the fairy said with a smile.

“Since you have a plan for this matter, I would like to trouble you to get started and propose a few potential private organizations. After you have a clear understanding of their backgrounds, we can discuss the next issue.” Wang Yao tapped the table.

"There's another question: which foreign propaganda professionals do we plan to bribe? Not any specific foreign god or foreigner, but what conditions are required?" The fairy nodded, looking at the notebook in front of her.

“There are two types: one is those that can be approved for publication, and the other is those that are qualified to submit materials,” Fairy Ruan replied immediately.

"And then there's character and stance. If their stance is hostile to our Heavenly Court, we could easily end up losing more than we gain, having raised a traitor. So we must find those who are at least neutral in stance, upright in character, and loyal to our Six Realms," Chen Lin hurriedly added.
