Chapter 1162: Media and Public Opinion Issues
The news about the He family and son was immediately favored by the chairman of Xingya Media and sent to the Financial Management Bureau. Zhou Ming certainly understood what they meant, and this was also an opportunity for Zhou Ming and Wen Zhiwei to reorganize the media.
Wen Zhiwei said to Zhou Ming happily: "That's great! The guys from Xingya Media have finally surrendered. With Xingya Media taking the lead, it will be natural for us to integrate the entire Hong Kong city media!"
This is Zhou Ming’s initial plan. He will severely attack the media through the stock market and let the media be at the forefront of the financial crisis. When they suffer from the financial crisis, they will understand the truth that there is no end to the collapse of the nest, and understand that the Financial Management Bureau’s good intentions will be fully committed to cooperating with themselves.
Zhou Ming shook his head and said that things were not that simple, and then took out a newspaper to Wen Zhiwei. Wen Zhiwei was stunned when he took the newspaper, because the article on it still accused the HKMA of manipulating the stock market and deliberately retaliating against the media.
"This... is just a small media. Sending such news is to attract attention, right? You can't take it seriously." Wen Zhiwei guessed.
"Do you really think so?" Zhou Ming asked.
Wen Zhiwei was not sure at first, but now he is asked by Zhou Ming like this and I don’t know how to answer.
"Now the stock market slap has just woken them up. I understand that those international investors are not the saviors of Hong Kong City, but that doesn't mean they will stand on our side." Zhou Ming thought for a while and said, "No, I don't need them to stand on our side completely. It's just that they may not even be able to do real objective neutrality. These are proof that you won't know that the media in the broadcasting industry can have an impact on each other's holdings."
Of course Wen Zhiwei knew about this. The radio channel originally had only five TV stations, but later it developed into hundreds of media, basically holding shares, and traced back to several bosses.
Of course, from the perspective of corporate operations, this kind of cross-holding does not make much sense, but the situation in Hong Kong City is different. Since the place is not big, the attitudes of several major media can almost affect most of the broadcast channels. Therefore, when companies are in public relations, they only need to pay attention to several major media, and there is no need to really pay attention to them one by one.
"Now they do not really regret it, but think that the situation is forcing us to bow slightly, or they simply think that this is what we have caused, and we should take responsibility."
Zhou Ming said it all ridiculously: "In this case, even if we help them, they will not be grateful to us. On the contrary, they think that this is what we should do, or out of guilt or something. After they have overcome the difficulties, they will continue to scold and continue to scold, proclaiming their freedom."
Wen Zhiwei did not refute because, as a native of Hong Kong City, he really knew that the media were so shameless.
Even when Wen Zhiwei was an employee, he witnessed the crisis of Hong Kong City media. At that time, the stock market exploded and the media stocks were affected. The media asked the then Monetary Authority for help.
At that time, in order to ensure that the Hong Kong City media industry was not affected, the HKMA quickly extended a helping hand and provided loans to help the media overcome the crisis.
But when the crisis passed, the media not only did not think that the HKMA was better, but on the contrary, the stock rose and the internal property situation stabilized, they turned around and scolded the HKMA, accusing the HKMA of manipulating the stock market, and even questioned the HKMA to take this opportunity to invest in the media to control the media.
This is the most shameless roll of eyes for these media companies without any bottom line
Wolf behavior.
"What should we do now? Should we continue to sell stocks and further suppress these media?" Wen Zhiwei asked.
Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "It would be great if this method is used once. If you use too much, if the media gets the handle, it will be very unfavorable to us."
Indeed, they took the lead in selling Xingya Media's stock, causing a sharp drop in the entire media sector. So Xingya Media can't stand it anymore and came back to ask them for help. They even dealt with the previous "pioneer of the Anti-Monday Administration" He family and son, as a letter of vote.
This looks beautiful, but this kind of thing cannot be used frequently. First of all, this method is not glorious. This time, it was with the help of the east wind of "international investors deceive the Hong Kong city" to cover up the fact of his participation. But what if it comes again and is exposed? That will be a destructive blow to the image of the HKMA and even the entire SAR government.
Not only that, with the continuous decline of the stock market, it has also had a certain impact on the economy of the entire Hong Kong city. If you continue to use the stock market to suppress the media and continue to make the media stocks more serious. It will also be easy to trigger an avalanche effect of the entire stock market. Once the stock market collapses completely, it will be more cost-effective.
This is not enough, that is not enough. Wen Zhiwei doesn’t know what to do. Could it be that he will not do anything now and let them go?
Zhou Ming saw Wen Zhiwei's idea and said to him: "Of course we can't do nothing now, because this will also give others a handle, especially Hong Kong City and other overseas media. They don't care about the life and death of Hong Kong City media. I'm afraid they will make more accusations against us of negative responses, which will lead to another wave of public opinion."
Moreover, not only that, Zhou Ming is also worried that if the situation in the media company continues to worsen, it will be not good news for him if international investors or overseas media buy the bottom.
Wen Zhiwei's scalp was a little numb. He thought that they would let go of the stocks that detonated the media, but why did he end up being even more restrained?
Wen Zhiwei asked: "What should we do? Could it be a selective help?"
Zhou Ming gave Wen Zhiwei a thumbs up: "This method is very good. We can choose to help first if we have a less bad relationship with us. This can set an example for other media, and secondly, it can also shut up public opinion and prove that we are doing things."
After discussing the solution, Zhou Ming quickly selected the first person to help, undoubtedly the Hong Kong Island Media where Shen Xin is located.
Of course, Zhou Ming's choice is not entirely because of Shen Xin. First of all, Hong Kong Island TV Station Hong Kong Island Finance, etc., are one of the largest media companies in Hong Kong City, and are also relatively fair media during this period. Of course, Zhou Ming doesn't mind helping Shen Xin further improve her position in the company, so it is the most suitable choice for Hong Kong Island Media both public and private.
Zhou Ming decided to call Shen Xin again later. Shen Xin was so happy to jump up when she heard the news. In her opinion, Zhou Ming made this choice because of her relationship.
Shen Xin quickly told the chairman of Hong Kong Island Media about Zhou Ming's words, and Zhou Ming also personally called the chairman of Hong Kong Island Media.
The chairman was also overjoyed. Although Hong Kong Media has a big business and its financial resources, the damage suffered was not that serious in the face of this stock market crash, and Shen Xin finally exposed He Yaoyang and International.
Reports of investor scams have also caused Hong Kong Island Media’s stock to rebound. However... this damage problem is only compared with other media, and is actually under great pressure.
In fact, there is one of Hong Kong Island Media on the list of requests for help from the HKMA.
Then the chairman brought Shen Xin to the Financial Management Bureau. Zhou Ming and Wen Zhiwei chatted with him for a while. Although it was all a formality, it would be better to express their opinions in person.
Zhou Ming’s plan to provide assistance to Hong Kong Island Media is relatively simple and direct, which is to directly purchase Hong Kong Island Media’s shares through Hong Kong City United Investment Fund and Fenghui Bank. This news is undoubtedly a huge positive news for the current market. Affected by such positive news, Hong Kong Island Media’s stock will rebound directly.
Of course, Zhou Ming also said directly to the chairman of Hong Kong Island Media: "You are the first and only media I help now. You will definitely be attacked by other media."
The chairman said indifferently: "If anyone wants to say it, let him agree. Our Hong Kong Media is upright and not afraid of shadows!"
After Zhou Ming agreed with him, he asked Wen Zhiwei to hold a press conference at the HKMA on behalf of the HKMA and released the news to Hong Kong City.
This news immediately caused an uproar in the entire Harbor City. No one expected that the HKMA would rescue the market so decisively.
It’s not that everyone could not think of this. In fact, when Xingya Media took the lead in the plunge, everyone agreed that the HKMA could not ignore it. However, everyone was very unsure that the HKMA would definitely manage it. After all, the media was almost one-sidedly criticizing the HKMA, but now they want them to help. Everyone put their hearts on it. They just wanted them to be the HKMA and they were too lazy to care about the lives and death of these bastards.
Therefore, in this contradictory idea, whether the HKMA helps or not, it is surprising.
Another point was made by Zhou Ming. When the news of the HKMA investing in Hong Kong Island Media came out, public opinion was also exploded because the HKMA only helped Hong Kong Island Media, and there was no news on them.
This made them quite dissatisfied, but at this stage, they dare not directly say that the HKMA is not right. They can only let the tabloids they hold behind their backs out and scold the HKMA in person. But on the other hand, these media have no good face to treat Hong Kong Island Media, which is a sarcasm to do their best, and they even just point directly at the nose and scold Hong Kong Island Media as a dog raised by the HKMA.
Zhou Ming and the HKMA will not care about these media for the sake of the overall situation, but Hong Kong Media may not be very good-tempered, especially Hong Kong Media is also the most influential media in Hong Kong City.
So Hong Kong Island TV and Hong Kong Island Finance and other media immediately spoke out and responded to these media. In particular, Hong Kong Island Finance published a cartoon on the homepage, which was a successful person wearing a suit and tie. He was holding a beggar bowl in his hand and a banner cursing on his back. There was no doubt that it was a satirizing other media for holding a bowl of jealousy and putting down a bowl of cursing.
In this public opinion war, Shen Xin was not silent. She also posted an article, but did not criticize anyone. She just posted a fable saying that there was a village, and suddenly one day a robber came. When the robber robbed the first family, you applauded and accused the other family of bad luck. When the robber robbed the second family, you applauded and applauded. When the robber robbed your head, no one could help you anymore.
