The editor-in-chief was dumbfounded!
The newspaper has been around for so many years!
No one has dared to sue him yet!
Because their newspaper had previously only reported on celebrities, and those people were eager to become famous!
Even though the bottom line has been lowered now, ordinary people are still willing to be exposed!
Because once they are exposed, they will gain attention and traffic!
Then there will be opportunities to monetize traffic!
This is an opportunity that many people will never get in their lifetime!
The truth is, many people live their entire lives in obscurity, never truly receiving attention from the outside world.
Therefore, many people are willing to be exposed, even if it means being smeared!
In particular, traffic can be monetized!
The revenue from monetizing traffic is absolutely staggering!
Take those bloggers with millions of followers on short videos, for example. They can easily earn tens of thousands of yuan for a single advertisement!
For a blogger with a particularly high level of traffic, a single advertisement can easily bring in hundreds of thousands of yuan!
Even without shooting videos, you can still monetize your traffic through live streaming!
A bunch of people are sending gifts, and it's trending!
Especially with live-streaming e-commerce, the most brilliant approach!
You'll find that once many people become famous and gain popularity, the first thing they do is go live-streaming e-commerce!
In one live-streaming sales event, all you have to do is sit there, say a few words, and you can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan!
This money came so easily!
For ordinary workers, even after working hard for several years, they may not earn hundreds of thousands of yuan!
Even less money can be saved!
They only need to sit there for two hours, just by talking, and the money comes in.
Therefore, many people, in order to become famous, are even willing to play the victim and make themselves look like internet clowns.
That's completely shameless.
But they did make money.
Although everyone was laughing at it.
But black and red is still red!
Why worry about all that? As long as I become popular, that's all that matters!
And their media outlets have indeed made several people famous.
They're still grateful to them.
The editor-in-chief just couldn't understand it.
How could anyone be so foolish as to sue them for such a good thing?
How incredibly stupid can this person be?!
How could they possibly turn down traffic and money?
“Yes… Lu Yiming…” the secretary said quickly.
“Lu Yiming…no wonder…” The editor-in-chief plopped down on the ground, suddenly understanding.
Lu Yiming is indeed capable.
Because they really don't care about that much traffic.
They already have a lot of traffic.
Monetizing traffic is a piece of cake.
"What did he accuse us of?" the editor-in-chief sighed and asked.
He didn't want to provoke Lu Yiming in the first place.
Even if they want to smear someone, they have to choose the right person to smear!
How could he dare to offend someone as rich and powerful as Lu Yiming, who was also a ruthless person like the Honey Badger, who would do anything without hesitation?
The key thing is that someone has contacted him.
I slipped him some money!
It's quite stuffy!
Otherwise, even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare!
"Um... their lawyer said they want us to pay compensation, publish an apology in the newspaper, and promise not to smear them again," the secretary said.
Upon hearing these conditions, the editor-in-chief shook his head, chuckled, and said:
"Then let's listen to him."
It's just publishing an apology in the newspaper, right? We apologize, we apologize immediately.
"Pass the word down, our next video will be an apology to Lu Yiming, and it needs to be sincere, understand?"
"Ah... Editor-in-Chief... Won't this have any impact on our reputation?" the secretary asked knowingly.
This demonstrates her competence as a secretary.
Sometimes, she knew perfectly well that this was the correct answer.
It's obvious.
If it were her, she would have made the same decision.
But she can't show it like that.
If she keeps making such clever remarks, how can the leader demonstrate his competence?
If the secretary is so capable, then what's the point of having a leader like him?
Why not just have his secretary take his place?
Therefore, secretaries often have to pretend to be ignorant while knowing the truth in their hearts.
It cannot be expressed verbally.
You can't let your boss think you're smarter than him.
Often, the role is that of the straight man in a crosstalk performance.
Let the leader say what he said.
This is how leaders feel a sense of accomplishment.
They think they are very capable and intelligent.
Especially when facing subordinates whose education and intelligence far surpass his, it significantly enhances his sense of pride and satisfaction.
See, even someone with such a high level of education has to listen to me obediently.
Even if you have a high level of education, what good is it? You still don't have as much experience as me, do you?
"An apology and compensation are the bare minimum; we can't afford to offend Lu Yiming."
Are you really going to go head-to-head with Lu Yiming?
Do you believe that if you anger Lu Yiming, he might buy out our newspaper and then lay off all of us?
Then we'll be crying!
Don't forget, Lu Yiming is capable of anything!
Moreover, we were in the wrong in this matter to begin with, and what Lu Yiming said was correct! We were indeed spreading rumors, so it's only reasonable for him to sue us.
We have no chance of winning this case.
"So, we might as well just apologize directly. This will not only quell Lu Yiming's anger, but it will also save us time and effort."
