Two days ago.
The recreation center of a five-star hotel in Mingzhu City, by the swimming pool.
A middle-aged, overweight man wearing a floral shirt and sunglasses was lounging lazily in a recliner.
He would occasionally open his eyes and stare intently at the beautiful woman in a bikini playing in the water, or his gaze would fall on the busty, curvy, and long white legs passing by.
The phone rang.
He casually picked up the mobile phone and pressed the answer button.
Upon hearing the voice inside, he immediately sat up, his face beaming with smiles, bowing and scraping.
"Mr. Hank, please rest assured, I have followed your instructions and contacted many newspapers and magazines, directing our criticism at that Longteng Auto company. By the way, there have already been related reports in the past two days. More reports are expected to follow. I believe this series of attacks will definitely leave Longteng stunned."
"Please rest assured, I have many professional people at my disposal. The steps of the attack have been arranged perfectly. The trap has been dug long ago, and we are just waiting for them to jump in."
"That's good!" came a calm voice from the other end. "Keep going, and do a good job!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely handle things well and ensure the healthy development of our automotive industry."
"Okay, I'll try to find as many people as possible to deal with them together."
After the other party hung up the phone, he kept a forced smile on his face for a long time before he returned to normal.
The man put down the phone, thought for a long time, and then started making calls again.
"Hey, Director Zhao, it's me again, Hong Dazhong. We're really sincere, let's work together..."
Before he could finish speaking, the other party hung up the phone, saying, "I'm not interested. We're not on the same wavelength."
Hong Dazhong cursed, "What are you pretending for? You're the real traitor in the ranks. What are you doing buying ships and attacking shipbuilding?"
After venting for a while, he continued making phone calls, and finally someone was willing to answer his calls and eventually agreed to talk to him in detail.
So Hong Dazhong began to operate around Mingzhu City.
For several days in a row, I was so busy I was completely exhausted.
The same scene was also playing out in many other places, including Beijing, Shenzhen, and Nanjing, with various forces getting involved.
The difference is that many Chinese people are connected with different foreigners.
Their attacks were all directed at Longteng Auto, with the aim of discrediting it.
Incredibly, these Chinese people gradually came together and cooperated with each other.
Meanwhile, the foreigners were also secretly gathering and exchanging information.
...
Whether it was Director Zhao or the employees of the factory's publicity and sales departments, they all felt extremely indignant and were holding their breath.
They all turned their gaze to Chen Dong, wanting to see what he thought about this and what he planned to do.
Chen Dong's expression remained calm, showing no signs of anxiety or impatience.
Seeing Chen Dong's state, Factory Director Zhao became somewhat anxious and said:
"Mr. Chen, this situation is clearly not right. Someone is targeting us and trying to ruin us."
Chen Dong nodded and quickly flipped through the newspapers. "Yes, someone is trying to sabotage us. But don't worry, I think it's actually a good thing."
"What? This is considered a good thing?" Director Zhao couldn't accept it.
The others were also a bit confused; they couldn't understand how this could be considered a good thing.
They couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.
The way she looked at Chen Dong changed; the previous admiration was gone.
In the past, I always heard people say how amazing Chen Dong was. Starting from selling tea eggs, he made a fortune of hundreds of millions in just a few years and even invested in building this factory.
Without him, there would be no car factory at all.
But now it seems that Chen Dong's performance is clearly different from what was rumored.
What's wrong?
Chen Dong simply smiled faintly.
"No need to rush. Now that things have happened, we'll see how we handle it. Before, I was wondering how we would sell our cars once they were produced. Now, these newspapers and magazines are giving us free publicity. Now the whole country knows about us."
"As long as we make good use of this opportunity and do a good job of publicity, we can let consumers across the country know about us. And it will be enough if we can make them realize the quality of our cars and their great value to the country's automotive industry."
As soon as Chen Dong said this, Director Zhao seemed to understand.
The factory's publicity department also thought it was a good idea.
However, their brows were not completely relaxed, after all, this matter had a huge impact.
They didn't yet understand Chen Dong's specific ideas, nor did they know if the matter could succeed.
The others also seemed worried, because they had all joined the factory later and had never worked with Chen Dong before. They didn't know Chen Dong's methods of doing things, or his ability to manipulate events at will.
Seeing this, Chen Dong thought for a moment and said to Factory Director Zhao, "Factory Director Zhao, I have a few requests. Let everyone analyze these materials first, and then think about the intricacies involved. How about we discuss it in a meeting later?"
Seeing Chen Dong's confidence, Director Zhao figured he must have a solution, so he agreed.
The reason why Director Zhao kept such a low profile, did not try to seize power from Chen Dong, and listened to him was because he had a certain relationship with Elder Lin and learned about Chen Dong's abilities from Elder Lin.
He also knew that the automobile company was not the core of Chen Dong's industrial empire.
Although domestically produced cars are important to the country, it was just something Chen Dong did on a whim.
To be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But the discomfort wasn't because Chen Dong interfered too much, but because he interfered too little.
In his view, a talent like Chen Dong should be able to put his talents to use in the field of automobile manufacturing.
Therefore, Director Zhao was actually quite pleased that Chen Dong was able to participate in the current crisis.
After obtaining Director Zhao's approval, Chen Dong addressed the people in the office, saying, "Meet in the conference room in half an hour. Now, you need to mobilize your connections and gather information from all sides regarding this news report targeting us."
"At the same time, we should also count which newspapers and television stations reported relatively objectively and praised us."
Everyone perked up immediately upon hearing Chen Dong's request.
Although they didn't know exactly what he wanted to do, they all knew that Chen Dong must have a plan.
So they all agreed and hurriedly left the office to make phone calls and flip through the newspaper.
...
Chen Dong kept Director Zhao behind.
"I think we need to reorganize the publicity department and establish a professional public relations team to handle crises. Things like what happened today can be handed over to the public relations department."
Factory Director Zhao was somewhat puzzled: "Don't we have a publicity department?"
Chen Dong explained to him: "Public relations includes publicity. Publicity is only one-way, conveying our thoughts and ideas to the public, while public relations includes not only publicity, but also communication, coordination, decision-making consultation, crisis management, etc. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is about establishing, shaping and maintaining the company's image, so that the outside world can recognize us."
