Chapter 136 Solving the Problem
"Speaking of this, what do you think I should do with Kus?" In the Sky Restaurant, Jin Senke shook his glass and asked the two girls in front of him.
"Why are you asking us? This is related to the impact on your own company." Dolores spoke in advance to avoid Tilan from being embarrassed in this situation.
"It is about the reputation of 'Hot Lizard Power' and other issues, but it also involves the students of our Edes Academy. If it is not handled properly, it will affect the reputation of the academy and you and me."
"I suddenly had a whim today and wanted to hear your suggestions." Jin Senke shook his head, and then a look of interest appeared on his face.
Dolores shook her head. She was not the kind of person who could be easily coerced. She had been silent just now, just thinking that Jin Senke would leave after he finished speaking. After all, she also knew this guy's bad character. If you don't let him have fun, he will keep pestering you, which is very annoying.
"Since it happened last night, you should have dealt with it. What's the point of asking us now?"
"Yes, I did deal with it, but I still feel dissatisfied. I don't want to use my brain, so I came to ask cousin Dolores."
There are not many people in the academy that Jin Senke can look up to, and Dolores happens to be one of them. He still has some respect for this cousin of the same age. After all, 'Incense Workshop' is a large enterprise that is no less than 'Hot Lizard Power', and Dolores has begun to get involved in family affairs.
Dolores thought about such a request for a while, then shook her head and didn't want to answer. She turned her head to look at Tilan beside her, wanting to take her away. Although Jin Senke was domineering, he didn't dare to do anything to him.
"Let's go, Tilan." She stood up.
"Alas, are you just leaving like this? Are you turning a blind eye to the inquiries of your dear cousin and classmate?" Jin Senke's voice came slowly.
"Also, Tilan, do you still remember your speech at the freshman ceremony, or are those words just a tool for you to gain fame, hehe." He took a sip of the cold amber wine, and then continued to sit in the recliner, shaking gently, as if he was sure that the two would come back.
If it was just him, Dolores could ignore it. Anyway, the relationship between the two was not that good, and others would just laugh it off. After all, it was a family affair between distant relatives, just like a quarrel between children.
But Tilan, because of her ordinary family background, would be more sensitive to such matters of identity and reputation. If she escaped now, I don't know what kind of rumors would spread with the help of Jin Senke.
Her steps slowed down, and then the girl next to her shook her head at her, and then walked forward.
"After saying all this, is Jin Senke asking me for help?" The black-haired and blue-eyed girl looked directly at the boy who was crossing his legs and was sloppy.
"You can understand it this way." Jin Senke didn't care. Even if it was spread out, no one would believe that he would be so humble to ask for help.
"Then what is your specific question? Do you want to punish Kus or restore the reputation of the academy?"
"My first question is how to keep the reputation of 'Hot Lizard Power' intact. As for the reputation of the academy, maybe a little bit, that's the second question."
Seeing Tilan answering, Dolores was a little worried. She was not stupid and saw the trap in this question very early. First of all, what happened last night must have spread locally. If there are news or some videos posted on the Star Network, it is inevitable that the reputation of 'Hot Lizard Power' will be damaged.
The best way is to directly control the media in the South District 1, or to say hello to the Star Region Government and let the official secretly ban the relevant news. Such a thing seems difficult in the eyes of ordinary people, but she knows that with the economy and tax revenue created by 'Hot Lizard Power' in the Emerald Skirt, and the many upstream and downstream enterprises and residents it supports, such a small request will not be rejected by the official.
However, the solution to this problem cannot be said openly. Whoever says it will be accused and scolded, and criticized morally. For the son of a large enterprise like Jin Senke, this kind of thing will not cause much impact. It is estimated that the older generation still thinks that he is decisive and courageous.
But if it is Tilan who brings it up, the situation will be completely different. Later, Jin Senke can say that I was inspired by a classmate and took such measures. In the academy, Tilan's reputation will be ruined.
People always admire the strong. What Jin Senke can do does not mean that others can do it casually. Even if he can solve the problem in this way, he is probably a little suffocated and unhappy in his heart, so he came to find fault today. Dolores's mind was racing. She grew up in the circle of high-level executives of the Jade Skirt since she was a child, and she is particularly familiar with the thoughts of such people.
"Since it has happened, trying to conceal it is just deceiving yourself." Tilan shook her head, her black hair swaying beside her ears, revealing her beautiful neck.
"Oh, so, you want me to apologize in public?" Jin Senke's voice was somewhat mocking, as if he was mocking the girl's naivety.
"You don't think that an apology can solve the problem." His voice was full of disappointment and contempt. Even keeping silent was better than apologizing. Once he apologized, it was equivalent to admitting it in disguise.
"Did I say sorry?" The girl asked back, making Jin Senke shut up for the time being.
"What you are worried about is just the misunderstanding of the public. You are afraid that others will believe that the quality of "Hot Lizard Power" products is not up to standard and there are safety hazards. Then the sales will drop sharply, and even the company will slowly go to the end."
"In the final analysis, you are also anxious, and you don't care as much as you seem on the surface." At this time, Jin Senke was leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes to enjoy the wine. The conversation between the two parties gradually attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant, and the surroundings were quiet.
"In that case, let's hit ten more hovercrafts." The girl's voice caused an uproar in the restaurant. What do you mean by hitting ten more hovercrafts? It turns out that you think the matter is not big enough.
"Not only do we have to crash, but we also have to crash more badly each time. We use all-round cameras to observe each time, record the deformation and damage during each collision, and how to protect the passengers in the car from fatal injuries and survive."
"I think such a video is much more interesting and exciting than the accident in the car race last night, and it can quickly attract everyone's attention. I believe that through such performance, the reputation of 'Hot Lizard Power' can also be taken to a higher level."
Although such an answer seems perfect, it also has an implicit condition, that is, the product quality of 'Hot Lizard Power' is really that good, otherwise it will be a greater self-exposure and usher in a sharp drop in reputation.
However, the girl doesn't need to say this, Jin Senke understands it, and Dolores also knows it, but Jin Senke will definitely not refute her with this point, because that is equivalent to admitting in disguise in front of so many people that their products are garbage and cannot withstand such a good proposal.
Just now, he used his image and reputation to mock Tilan, and now he was used by the girl in turn, causing him to suffer a hidden loss.
The question was thrown back to Jin Senke. He was faced with a dilemma. If he did what he was told, his product quality might not be good, or if it was revealed that he used special products to impersonate ordinary products, his reputation would drop even more.
But if he ignored such a good suggestion, it would be equivalent to admitting in front of his classmates and everyone that his product was not good. This would be a huge blow to his confidence and image. He could be so arrogant inside and outside the academy because he was the eldest son of Hot Lizard Power. If the brand of 'Hot Lizard Power' was not good, his prestige would no longer be as feared as before.
"Pa Pa Pa -" sudden and crisp applause sounded in the quiet restaurant. Everyone turned their eyes and realized that it was Jin Senke who was clapping.
"Great, great, classmate Tilan's suggestion really gave me a wake-up call." He smiled, and it was unclear whether he was angry or really happy.
Then he turned around and ordered the people behind him: "You all heard me, right? Find me the best photography team, and then find the latest and different models of hovercraft from the factory. Crash ten of them tonight, and another ten tomorrow, and keep crashing until a week has passed, until the public gets used to such videos and doesn't want to watch them anymore. During the process, there will also be detailed explanations, comparing them with products of the same price from other brands. How should I say it? I don't need to teach you anymore, right?"
"Understood." Then several men in suits stood up, walked immediately to the elevator of the restaurant, and began to act.
After solving the first problem, the second problem came up. Compared with the difficult problems involving the reputation of large enterprises and affecting the employment of millions of people, the second problem can be regarded as a minor incidental issue, but this problem is actually closer to the people present, because everyone is a student of Edes Academy.
"What do you think is the best way to deal with the students involved last night?" Jin Senke spoke again, as if he wanted to save some face on this second question.
"Does our academy prohibit students from going out to bars to party?" the girl asked.
"No."
"Does it say that you are not allowed to watch the fun?"
"No."
"So why did the academy deal with those students?"
"But things are not that simple. Others don't care whether there are such regulations or not. They just think that the quality of the people in Edes Academy is too poor. This is equivalent to pouring dirty water on my glamorous image. I think everyone here is also very unhappy. Why should I bear the price for others' mistakes?" Jin Senke looked around. Compared with before, he was more serious this time.
"Yes, things like image are not subject to laws and rules." The girl nodded.
"However, if we punish students without teaching them for such things, people will only think that Edes Academy is weak and easily succumbs to public opinion. When there is no actual regulation prohibiting it, it punishes its own students according to public opinion, and then falls into a passive position step by step."
"When there is the first apology, there will inevitably be a second and a third time... because people will constantly criticize you for your previous apology. Even if you do the right thing later, many people will turn a blind eye to it, because you 'apologized' and admitted the existence of the stain, and it will no longer be able to refute it."
"It is impossible for people to not make mistakes all their lives, and apologizing is not the best way to deal with mistakes. Subsequent corrections are important."
"Instead of punishing those students, it is better to let the school officials learn a lesson and promulgate new rules to prevent such things from happening. In this way, while responding to public opinion, they will not fall into a passive position."
Tilan spoke slowly and answered while thinking. In fact, there is a trap hidden in the second question. If she said that she would severely punish those classmates, it would be tantamount to isolating herself from the public, but if she said that she would ignore it completely, it would give people the image of being stupid and spoiled.
Just like that, as she finished explaining the reasons for doing this slowly and carefully, time passed unknowingly to 1pm.
"...That's all, I can't think of any more." Finally, she shook her head, picked up the water cup and drank some drinks to moisten her throat, and then she realized that the restaurant seemed unusually quiet.
She had been immersed in thinking and explaining, and only now did she react. This kind of silence was too strange, so she raised her eyes and looked around.
In this restaurant, pairs of eyes looked at the black-haired girl by the window, watching her intelligent and meticulous analysis against the background of blue sky and white clouds, watching her keen awareness and consideration of the feelings of all parties, watching her beautiful and fair face and figure, just like a flower in the wind in midsummer.
"Amazing."
"As expected of Tilan."
"I wonder if I'm a fool. I didn't think so much."
"Really thoughtful. You can think clearly in a short time without making mistakes. You're really strong."
"I think Jin Senke is destined to be defeated today. With Dolores protecting him, he really doesn't dare to do anything to Tilan. And if the car explosion is really solved, he probably has to thank Tilan. Otherwise, he won't be able to explain it to others."
"Haha, it's also quite refreshing."
The restaurant became lively again. Jin Senke also put down the big wine glass in his hand. The wine in it was almost drunk. Only the sailboat was still swaying slightly in the glass.
"Today is a really beautiful day." He looked at the blue sky outside the transparent window and then stood up.
Nodding slightly to the two girls, the domineering boy smiled and turned to leave.
"Pay the bill. Those two will be charged to me."
He walked towards the elevator again with a group of people in big slippers, and raised his hand before entering the elevator door, and a thin metal card popped out.
This crimson metal card flashed in the air and flew through a long parabola, then landed on the table in front of Tilan and Dolores. After spinning on the glass table for a few seconds, it fell again and lay quietly in the light.
"Jinsenke's exclusive business card." Dolores took a look and knew that this thing was for Tilan.
"With this, you can go to any store of 'Hot Lizard Power' to get free services. If you negotiate business with 'Hot Lizard Power', you can also get the most discount. It doesn't mean much to me, but Tilan can keep it first."
"This matter should not be over yet. If 'Hot Lizard Power' solves the matter perfectly this time, it will inevitably thank you for your advice. You can ask Jinsenke for a few luxury cars, and he will give them to you without blinking an eye."
"I don't use cars very often, and luxury cars are too conspicuous." The girl was a little helpless, but still accepted the business card at the suggestion of Dolores.
What happened at the Sky Restaurant at noon that day soon spread throughout the academy, and what was exciting and anticipated was that that evening, the official of "Hot Lizard Power" took the initiative to release the video of the bridge crash last night, and added a picture saying that even in such a serious accident, the driver inside still survived.
Not only that, as if to prove the hard power of their own products, in the temporary live broadcast, one hover car after another crashed into the scheduled building, broke into pieces, and the scene exploded. After each collision, the simulated dolls inside were also preserved to the greatest extent. Although they were injured, they did not die.
Hot clicks and discussions took place in various forums, while the most original racing video last night was slowly drowned out, and finally disappeared, and no one discussed it anymore.
Relying on this popularity, the stock price of "Hot Lizard Power" continued to rise in the following week, which surprised many people and lamented that it was a blessing in disguise, but this is another later analysis. As for the girl who proposed the solution, the outside world didn't know much, it was only widely circulated within the academy, which was also the result of the silent protection of Edes Academy and the Star Domain Federal Government.
