Chapter 621 (1/2)
When countless media tried to contact Simon to verify the truth of a series of revelations, in the following days, Hurst Group continued to use its own media platform to throw out a number of heavyweight gossip related to Simon, including Catherine is Simon's lover, Simon's affair with the wife of an action actor, westrow system's interference with the 1993 New York mayor election, and so on.
Unfortunately, perhaps most of them are facts, but Hurst group has not been able to produce much substantial evidence.
No evidence is slander.
In a society like the United States, defamation is a very serious crime.
Simon, of course, won't wait to die.
While quietly launching the lawyer team of the westrow system to collect information that can be sued, the public relations team of the Westeros family also launched a full-scale campaign to resolutely fight back against the information disclosed by the media of the Hurst group.
Not only that, westero also issued a tough ultimatum to other large media forces in the United States. As long as we stand on the side of the Hurst group and participate in the uproar, this incident will always be the enemy of the westero system. Once the enemy is selected, there will be only confrontation and no cooperation in the future, and the westero system will not give any possibility of reconciliation.
In the face of Simon's unremitting strong stance, not to mention the several old print media groups that are negotiating with igritte, many other traditional media forces soon ceased to follow suit at the beginning.
Unlike the Westeros system and the Hurst group, other media forces are very clear that if they are involved this time, they will really leave no room for themselves.
Even some old media families don't quite understand what the Hurst family is losing their heart.
In recent years, even if the westrow couple are really turned against each other, which leads to a divorce war and the vitality of the westrow system is greatly damaged, what benefits can the Hurst family get?
However, there are always too many unreasonable things in this world.
Perhaps the Hurst family thinks that such a move can make Simon westrow, like many enemies of the Hurst family in the past, taste the power of a century old media family to control public opinion, and then retreat, even take the initiative to seek compromise.
It's just that it's not 100 years ago.
It is obvious that the Hurst group originally wanted to take the lead in triggering a public opinion storm against Simon westrow with its own media platform, just like the massive manipulation of public opinion in the heyday of the Hurst family many years ago. However, when other large media companies with a little strength in North America all stopped, the Hurst group was naked Come on.
Most of the public think that they are very smart and can see the essence of many things.
When they find that all the media platforms attacking Simon westero have become a series of media of the Hearst group, and other print media either remain neutral and watch the fun, or are still saying good things for Simon westero, the credibility of Hearst group's disclosure suddenly drops sharply.
Simon westero's handling of the tax evasion incident of ”waist essence” and ”leg essence”, which was initially exposed, has even aroused the favor of many netizens on the Internet, most of whom are women.
After the two lovers were arrested by the IRS, the young super tycoon did not rush to publicly deny that he was picked out because of the media. It can be imagined that this must be the common practice of many other rich and famous people. However, in less than an hour, Simon westero openly asked his team of lawyers to bail the two girls out, and then generously paid their taxes.
Not only that, in order to avoid the two girls being harassed by the mass media, westero also needs to know that a well-known facebook game blogger revealed that the budget of happy farm, a social game with a development cycle of only two months, is mainly the salary of the development team, and the overall production cost is less than $1 million.
The budget expenditure of less than 1 million US dollars in exchange for the huge revenue of 700 million US dollars in two years can be described as robbing money.
With the official report of igritte, many users who were not very interested in happy farm have accessed the game direct interface of igritte portal. Users who did not open Facebook have opened their own social platform for the game.
No matter the Internet portal or the traditional media, with this report of igrit portal, they are all attracted by the sudden popularity of this game in a very short time.
Then, when the media reporters collected information to prepare for the next day's relevant reports, more and more people realized that the success of happy farm may not lie in the game itself. Of course, for players, this web game integrates leisure and social networking, and is the first one that uses igritte's flash animation technology. It is very interesting and playable. But the root of its success is that igritte almost monopolizes the huge user base of the Internet portal.
In recent years, industry analysts who have been paying close attention to the Internet industry have been curious about how igrit portal can realize its huge user base. After all, in the previous few years, igrit's main source of revenue has been software sales. The rapid growth of advertising business and e-commerce, although relying on igrit's huge user base, has nothing to do with it After all, it's not very direct.As a result, some media even predict that with the continuous exponential growth of Internet users, in the face of rapidly expanding huge operating costs, igrit may have to take the initiative to allocate its own exclusive network interface in order to reduce costs.
Or the previous opening of MSN portal and AOL portal is the reason.
