Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 106 Super big melon

Chapter 106 Super Big Melon

“Hey, have you heard about it? TV Asahi…”

“I’ve heard it, I’ve heard it. It’s news that just suddenly spread on the Internet. It’s everywhere. It’s really abominable. Those guys have no bottom line..."

 “Not just Asahi, but also several other TV stations...”

At this moment, the interview program is still going on, and Zhu Youxing is still checking the performance behind the camera in the studio.

 He was satisfied with the overall situation, and that was enough.

But at this moment, several TV station employees who came in around him seemed to be whispering something.

Zhu Youxing didn’t take it seriously, but soon there were more and more voices discussing other TV stations.

 This made him start to wonder.

Director Kubo was also unclear about the reason, so he directly pulled someone over to ask what was going on.

　　After the man finished his somewhat hesitant answer, Kubo was stunned on the spot.

"Just ten minutes ago, the Internet was full of various scandals about TV station executives, including tax evasion, TV station executives having "private meetings" with several female stars at the same time, and harassment of female subordinates, there are many, many A lot of them appear in one go.”

After hearing this, Kubo suddenly felt bad. He hurriedly said goodbye to Takeyusei, and then ran out of the studio, completely ignoring his image as a station manager.

Zhu Youxing also heard the explanation of the employee just now and was also shocked.

But he was not shocked by these news. Zhu Youxing, who lived after 2020, had heard more outrageous news than this. It was just a bit outrageous that the scandals of high-level TV stations were collectively exposed on the Internet.

 Every scandal appears one after another. This employee just said a lot.

How many are there?

 Zhu Youxing seemed to be a bit reluctant to find a computer to take a look.

It's a pity that the mobile phone network is not yet fully formed, but I heard that the development of the mobile phone Internet is already being promoted, and it is estimated that it will not be commercially available for long.

But just as the show ended, the live broadcast event came to an end. Next, Takahashi's public relations staff on the stage will lead other public relations teams one by one to radio programs and newspaper column interviews to continue to defend video games, but that's not the case. We need Zhu Youxing to follow, they will take care of it themselves.

 “Thank you for your hard work.”

The relaxation in the studio has just ended. The host and others are still bowing slightly to express their gratitude to a certain kind of employees. Then a group of panicked employees went around the studio to deliver news, as if something big had really happened.

“President Zhuyou, what happened? Why do these people look so panicked?”

Takahashi walked up to Takeyusei with a confused look on his face.

Zhu Youxing shrugged: "It seems like some scandal broke out on the TV station."

 Takahashi’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard Takeyusei’s words: “A scandal broke out at the TV station? Which TV station is it? TV Tokyo?”

 “Sounds like…a lot.”

"very many?"

“I’ll just find a computer and look at it later. It’s said to be everywhere on the Internet.”

 Takahashi seemed a little excited. He said, "President, this is a good opportunity."

"good chance?"

Takahashi nodded vigorously: "Yes, you may not understand this, but if this kind of scandal is serious enough, it can divert the attention of the crowd. Originally, there were fights in our video games. It’s not serious. It’s just that those TV stations are deliberately provoking conflicts, hoping to use their influence to interfere with national legislation and suppress video games. But as long as this topic no longer attracts public attention and the discussion becomes less popular, then our The crisis can be resolved directly.”

 That makes sense.

Zhu Youxing hadn't thought of so much just now. He was not someone who was involved in any public relations crisis, so he didn't make any associations immediately.

 But Takahashi is obviously a veteran in this industry and knows best what to do.

 First of all, the best solution is not to take the initiative to come to the rescue when encountering a crisis.

The best solution is to divert people’s attention from this matter.

 The second step is to save reputation.

Takahashi has always wanted to divert the public's attention. The various news announced in the live broadcast before are a kind of diversion. Don't dwell on the fight.

 It’s just that this way of diverting attention is obviously not as good as breaking news from other industries.

 “Let’s go find a computer.”

 Zhu Youxing also wanted to see what kind of news appeared on the Internet. The news that was enough to make these people panic must not be simple.

  Takeyusei and Takahashi randomly found a public rest area in the TV station, where there are usually public computers for visitors and company employees.

But by the time the two of them passed by, the computers had already been occupied, and many TV station employees gathered in front of a computer to discuss loudly.

 “Oh my God, my favorite innocent actress turns out to be like this…”

 “Assholes! These guys have evaded hundreds of millions in taxes, they are so brave!”

“These senior executives should go to hell!”

The employees of the TV station were cursing, and Takeyusei and Takahashi also walked over curiously.

 A TV station employee was sitting in front of the computer and quickly browsing various information posted everywhere on the Internet.

Now whenever you click on a normal web page, a dialog box will pop up first.

This dialog box will have a scandal about a high-level executive of a certain TV station.

Just like the employee that Director Kubo stopped just now said, many, many scandals broke out collectively at the same time.

Tax evasion, secret political donations to members of a certain party, harassment of female subordinates, high-level private meetings with female celebrities, etc.

Every time you click on a normal web page, a message will pop up, which is completely different.

 Takeyusei was shocked by the intensity of the news, while Takahashi was excited by the intensity of the news.

"President Zhuyou, it seems that we don't have to worry about our problems anymore. I took a quick look just now and found that a lot of news is about scandals involving the top executives of the four TV stations. This is because there are experts on the Internet secretly helping us! "

 Masters on the Internet…

 Takeyusei couldn't help but think of Tsukino Aya.

But... that's probably not the case. She's not that old either. She usually seems to have relatively good computer knowledge, and it doesn't seem like something that one person can do.

 But I think Tsukino Aya should know something.

Zhu Yusei turned to look at Takahashi: "So now our crisis is resolved?"

Takahashi nodded: "It's basically cleared. Compared with these sudden collective scandals, our kind of fights can only be regarded as trivial things, unless these TV stations can ignore the maintenance of their own image and work hard. They also want to slander us."

 Obviously, this scenario is highly unlikely to happen.

At this moment, in addition to the two TV stations, TV Tokyo and NHK, the middle, senior and even the bottom levels of the other four TV stations are in dire straits.

“Damn it! What’s going on? Why do so many negative news about us suddenly appear on the Internet? Who took the photo? Who left the evidence?!”

 A roar came from several high-rise offices at the same time.

 In fact, this kind of scandal is neither big nor small.

 The key is that there are too many at once.

Whenever one or two of their vicious scandals suddenly appear, they can find ways to resolve them and make the people slowly forget about them.

 But this pops up directly on the Internet.

You can't stop it even if you want to.

Now anywhere in Japan where you can log into the Internet, you can see these messages, which is not the same.

Of course, TV stations are not likely to be severely damaged by this.

  But it is very fatal for the current TV station executives.

 Some of them involve moral and ethical issues, but some directly violate the law.

Hunting.

At present, the mobile phones of many TV station executives are ringing.

 Some received invitations to tea directly from the Japanese government, while others received "cordial condolences" from their higher-ups.

 Suddenly, many TV stations were in a frenzy.

 Various interview shows that were originally intended to denigrate video games were immediately cancelled.

 The senior management was already breaking out in a cold sweat, and they quickly asked their subordinates to quickly find ways to eliminate the impact.

 However, the Internet is not their territory, but belongs to a new group of forces: the Internet upstarts.

This is a group of guys who suddenly became rich during the birth and rise of the Internet. Through the Internet, they have the tendency to become new plutocrats.

This is a group that is completely separated from the traditional Japanese power camp in the past. If you want to find a place to talk, you can't eliminate the influence of the Internet.

 In fact, the new Internet upstarts are also confused.

 It is outrageous that our own website, which is well run, suddenly becomes a news website reporting behind-the-scenes stories.

In the early days of the Internet, there was no systematic network defense. At that time, even someone with a little computer knowledge could hack into a certain network platform.

If they can understand more advanced network knowledge, they will be like fish in the water and can swim anywhere on the current Internet.

However, the two or three websites that were mainly attacked were the ones that people visited most often.

This is enough, just like when Chinese people in later generations use computers, they will almost immediately choose to log in to Baidu or other search platforms to search for things.

Once this kind of website is hacked, everything will be known to everyone.

When the Internet nobles found that the invaders were just spreading news and did not interfere with their networks, they let go of them.

This intruder should be relatively normal, but it also reminds them that they must start thinking about network protection issues. Otherwise, if the problem is not big this time, it may not be the next time.

 It was just one day. Previously, fights in video games were simply ignored by people, but now there are people everywhere.

 The big melons on the TV station are much more delicious than the mere fights!
