Although Sanniang was also angry, she was more concerned about how to deal with this matter.
"Sis, if you can reveal something, so can others. Then, you and I will talk back and forth. Who will know who is telling the truth?"
"What should I do?" The old lady had no idea. She saw the textile factory's business getting better and better, but she didn't expect something to happen at the newspaper.
"Does Jingzhi know about this?" asked Er Niang.
"I know about this." An Jingzhi's voice came into the ears of several people from outside.
He came to the living room, put down the newspaper he had just picked up, drank a sip of water, and then said leisurely, "I've read this newspaper too."
"Don't worry, mothers. I found this Zheng Zhemin."
The three people exclaimed, "What? Did you ask Zheng Zhemin to scold you?"
The old lady really couldn't understand why Jingzhi found someone to scold him when nothing happened.
Erniang looked thoughtful, and even Sanniang thought of some key points.
Sanniang was in charge of the main management work of the newspaper, but apart from writing articles, An Jingzhi did not intend to be a hands-off boss. He was always paying attention to the situation of the newspaper.
The newspaper’s opinion is also very important.
Tonghang Newspaper needs to gain a firm foothold, but it cannot take over everything and drive people away.
Even in an era with sound laws, one must be careful when doing business, let alone in this era where the big fish eat the small fish.
"Our newspaper is now considered one of the major newspapers in the Magic City."
"Although I haven't given any comments on submitted articles for a long time, these people have already developed the habit of submitting articles to our newspaper."
"Our newspaper sales are rising steadily, and we are bound to squeeze out the profits of others."
"Some people choose to compete fairly, but others choose to take shortcuts."
"I found someone to scold me in order to share some of the pressure and divert their attention before they took action."
The old lady was confused, and An Jingzhi continued to explain:
"We need fame, but too much fame isn't necessarily a good thing..."
He was the one who hired Zheng Zhemin. The first time he paid him to scold him, now that he saw the benefits, he would definitely take the initiative to write articles to scold him without him having to say anything.
The newspaper business is booming nowadays, and I don’t know how many people I’ve offended. There are already some signs of this.
Now that the war of words has started, other newspapers will also have some business.
It doesn't matter if he gets scolded. Everyone has their supporters and opponents for their opinions anyway. It doesn't matter to him. On the contrary, it can help relieve some of the pressure on the newspaper.
The person who scolds him can also gain some reputation, but whether this reputation is good or bad depends on the person.
After An Jingzhi's explanation, the old lady finally understood. As the saying goes, the first tree to stick its head out gets shot.
Even if they do business in an honest way, there may be people who can't stand their business being too good.
Starting a war of words now can not only divert attention but also increase newspaper sales, which is a win-win situation.
But the only one who suffered the loss was Jingzhi.
The three of them figured out the key point and looked at him with some heartache.
An Jingzhi himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it, since it was all planned by him anyway.
What's more, he is not the kind of person who just lies down and allows himself to be scolded. He still has many fans under the pen name Shanhe, and if others scold him, he can scold them back.
Even his fans are more radical than he himself.
People like Zhang Tingyou are now die-hard fans of Shanhe. After reading the article, they immediately wrote an article to fight back.
After a day, they also found out about Zheng Zhemin's situation.
He has no morals or talents, likes to take unconventional approaches, is too extreme, and likes to be clever.
They made up their minds: since they dared to criticize Mr. Shanhe, they would scold him until he dared not appear in front of the world.
Unexpectedly, just one day later, the other party wrote another article to curse back, and they were also cursed as Shanhe's lackeys.
Then Zhang Tingyou found more people to write articles in newspapers to criticize Zheng Zhemin.
As the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, he has some power. He can approve any article that criticizes Zheng Zhemin, but he will reject any article that criticizes Shanhe.
Zheng Zhemin also gradually had some helpers. In addition to the Huaxing Newspaper where Zhang Tingyou worked, many newspapers received articles denouncing Shanhe.
They don't care who these people are scolding, as long as it can increase newspaper sales, it's a good thing.
When a scholar curses someone, he can curse your whole family without even saying a single dirty word.
At the beginning, they were still concerned about their own face and tried their best to quote classics to curse others. Later, the scope of the verbal battle became wider and wider, and it lasted longer and longer. They almost racked their brains and wrote down all the abusive words they could think of.
In the end, they will only offer the simplest and most ordinary greetings. I am afraid that when there is nothing left to curse at, they may roll up their sleeves and start fighting.
Everyone gained something from this war of words. Some people joined Zhang Tingyou's team, whether for the sake of defending the country or for fame. Everyone gained something.
Most fundamentally, our understanding of history has been deepened. Otherwise, how can we quote from classics?
Zheng Zhemin naturally gathered a group of followers around him.
They didn't necessarily respect Zheng Zhemin that much, they just wanted to unite together and appear to be more powerful, all because they couldn't stand the fact that Shanhe was gathered together.
Zheng Zhemin was the first person to come forward and was naturally pushed to the front.
This was also a very exciting experience for Zheng Zhemin.
He doesn't care whether people really respect him or not. What he cares about is that he can be in the public eye and become a leader who can raise his arms and make calls. No matter whether he is a puppet or not, at least it is like this on the surface.
