3073. Chapter 3073
The Strait of Malacca is the traditional sphere of influence considered by the Portuguese, while the west coast of North America is the territory of their old rival, the Spanish. If Haihan's attention can be diverted from the Strait of Malacca to the west coast of North America through public opinion, it will both preserve the
It can be said that killing two birds with one stone kills two birds with one stone.
The only question is whether this method of guiding public opinion can really have an impact on the Executive Committee and make the situation develop in a direction beneficial to Portugal.
Of course, from Tan Tianming's point of view, he definitely does not want the Executive Committee to be influenced by the Portuguese and make adjustments to the strategy in the South China Sea that are not conducive to Xingdao.
Xingdao finally got the opportunity to start a big fight. Now that he has just started, how can he stop here?
Ning Qi had read countless people, so how could he not see Tan Tianming's little thought? He smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, all decisions made by the executive committee are based on our country's national interests and will not be easily manipulated by outsiders.
It depends on the tricks. When we should do what, we all follow our own pace. It is not that easy to interfere with our development."
Tan Tianming felt at ease, but he was still extremely dissatisfied with the Portuguese's actions: "Sir, the Portuguese have repeatedly asked people to write articles and publish newspapers to slander the Xingdao region. This is undoubtedly interfering in my country's internal affairs in disguise. If this continues If they are allowed to behave recklessly without being punished, I am afraid that these ignorant people will act even more excessively in the future."
Ning Qi asked: "Then what do you want?"
Tan Tianming said: "Punish the unscrupulous scholars who work for Portugal to set an example. At the same time, we must also warn the Portuguese and ask them not to behave similarly."
Ning Qi said: "I remember I explained to you last time why the authorities would not intervene. It seems you have forgotten."
The last time Tan Tianming came to Ning Qi to report Portugal's attempt to guide public opinion, he also asked the authorities to deal with it, but Ning Qi believed that there was no need to deal with such a trivial matter in a big way.
Ning Qi had already said that simple and crude solutions were not advisable. Tan Tianming knew that this was a warning to himself not to try to use some unconventional or even illegal means.
As long as the Sing Tao authorities have plans to expand their sphere of influence, the conflict of interests between the two parties will not be eliminated. However, the Portuguese know that their strength is limited and do not dare to break up with the Sing Tao authorities and engage in armed confrontation. They can only adopt such soft methods.
To influence the decisions of Haihan senior management.
To put it bluntly, the Portuguese still have illusions about regaining control of the Strait of Malacca and are unwilling to accept the fact that Haihan has come from behind. To solve the current troubles, we must try to break the Portuguese's illusions and make them realize that no matter what
Using public opinion to influence the Executive Committee or regaining control of the Malacca Strait are both impossible goals.
Huo Dechuan was eager for this. If Tan Tianming wanted to make a big move, he would have to invest more money, and as the organizer, he would naturally have more money to make.
Tan Tianming was unable to defend himself now. Although he had learned from Huo Dechuan that the behind-the-scenes instigator was Portuguese, it was only after Ning Qi's prompting that he understood the other party's purpose. And Ning Qi obviously wanted to treat him.
His analytical ability is somewhat dissatisfied, so I don’t plan to give him more support in this matter.
However, failing to win support from high-level officials, Tan Tianming's attempt to solve the problem through diplomatic relations between the two countries has failed. He himself is not qualified to negotiate with the Portuguese and can only find other ways.
However, Tan Tianming hopes that there are other ways of publicity besides newspapers, which can neither violate national laws nor cause diplomatic disputes. This really needs to be carefully considered.
What is the root of the problem? This is actually not difficult to answer. The fundamental reason why the Portuguese used this method to slander the Sing Tao authorities is of course the conflict of interests between the two parties in the Malacca region.
Tan Tianming was still waiting to say more, but Ning Qi said again: "You don't even understand the real purpose of the Portuguese. You just want to solve the problem in a simple and crude way. This can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause. You can think about it carefully when you go back.
Think about what the root of the problem is and how to completely solve it.”
Tan Tianming waved his hand and said: "He is not the only person in Sanya who relies on pens to make a living. You can find a few more people to try. Anyway, as long as the article is published in the newspaper, I will pay. Also, I think just publishing a few articles in the newspaper
It's an indifferent article, but I'm afraid the effect is just average. Please help me give me some ideas. Is there any other way I can use?"
Although Tan Tianming hit a snag with Ning Qi, he was not discouraged. At any rate, Ning Qi also pointed out the direction for him, but he had to explore the next road by himself.
Huo Dechuan thought for a moment and soon came up with an idea: "Brother Tan, after all, only a small number of people can read newspapers. If you want to have a large enough publicity effect, you have to try to get more people to participate.
Especially those who don’t read newspapers at all.”
Naturally, Huo Dechuan would not let this big deal that came to his door go away easily. He patted his chest and told Tan Tianming that he could handle it for him and ensure that an article would appear in major newspapers soon.
Then there are not many options left. After going around in a big circle, it seems that we can only start from the field of publicity. It’s just that Tan Tianming doesn’t have professionals in this field around him. If he wants to fight his opponents with fire, there is no way.
Know where to start.
Huo De preached: "But this person is very easy to get paid to do things, and he has a good relationship with the newspaper, and the probability of his article being adopted is high. You can get twice the result with half the effort by hiring him. Brother Tan, don't be too impulsive."
Tan Tianming said: "Fu Qiqiang is a man of poor character. He is capricious and capricious. If you can't use him, use him as little as possible."
Tan Tianming nodded slightly and said: "Brother Huo's words make sense, and I am all ears."
Tan Tianming had no choice but to find Huo Dechuan again and explained his intention to him.
When Huo De heard that he confirmed his idea, he continued: "The key is to win more domestic people's support for Xingdao. If some practical benefits can be given to the people, this matter should not be difficult to achieve.
."
Tan Tianming frowned and said: "But our Xingdao has limited financial resources. If we want to provide enough benefits to the people, I'm afraid we won't be able to spend so much money."
Huo Dechuan waved his hand and said: "Brother Tan has made a mistake. Not everyone has to share in the benefits, as long as they can make people feel that they are qualified to get them. Only by letting the people spontaneously promote Xingdao can the greatest impact be achieved.
Good results.”
Tan Tianming became more and more confused: "How to operate this?"
