When she went to work again the next morning, Medya found that the matter had reached the point where $1 million could not be solved.
Since last night, the entire American media have begun to cover this event. Overnight, it seems that people all over the United States know the news. Even the tramps lying on the roadside know about it through the newspapers blown to the ground.
For a moment, the whole country seemed to be discussing Hasbro's hegemonic behavior.
When Medya was at work, she could feel her neighbors pointing at her, and there was disdain and contempt in the twilight.
You know, Medya lives in a rich area in Rhode Island. All her neighbors are rich people in Rhode Island. If these rich people still treat themselves like this, what will the American people think.
The results came soon. Hasbro headquarters soon received reports from various places. Some indignant young people pointed to Hasbro's stores all over the country and shouted abuse. At the same time, Hasbro's employees began to bear all kinds of pressure. For example, people often pointed behind them and abused Hasbro, and then scolded them by the way.
At this time, according to the calculation of the public relations department, if you want to spend money to calm down the whole public opinion, the cost has risen to about $5 million.
Medya did not dare to delay. She immediately reported the matter to the president and asked for immediate funding. However, the president is embarrassed. As the president, he can directly transfer the funds below 1 million, but after the figure reaches 5 million, it is not within the scope of his rights.
Moreover, the president is about to retire. According to the original plan, he will transfer the president's position to Medea in the second half of this year, so the president has basically handed over all his daily affairs to Medea.
This is done, first, to cultivate Medya, and second, naturally, he doesn't want to get involved in any relevant responsibilities.
After all, as long as you don't do anything, you won't make mistakes.
Therefore, as the president, he directly threw the matter to the board of directors for discussion. But the problem is that to hold a board meeting requires a lot of procedures and the presence of most directors, which requires a lot of time.
Anyway, Hasbro's board of directors can not be held until the second day, so Hasbro still can't do anything on this day and can't interfere with the media.
"President, why don't we send a notice to clarify the facts!" the Secretary asked carefully.
"Clarify the facts!" Medya sneered. "What is there to clarify? What do we want to clarify? Say we have never issued a blocking order?"
"Yes, in that case..."
"In that case, we will lose, that is, we will bow to Daqian, and Daqian's goal will be achieved. From then on, their Daqian educational products can appear in all channels without scruples, and our biggest advantage of Hasbro will no longer exist!" Medya shook her head. So far, she still felt that there was no problem.
As long as Hasbro keeps silent, after a period of time, the storm of public opinion will soon pass. Hasbro is very experienced in this regard. There has been a storm of public opinion against Hasbro before. Unlike Hasbro, it has passed through by dressing!
Moreover, this time is actually just a small matter, and it is not a problem between the people and large companies, but a dispute between companies, which will not give the people too much empathy.
It's not that there have been disputes between companies and news explosions before, but the people don't care. After all, the dog bites the dog between capitalists, which they like to see.
So Medya felt that this time as long as he pretended to be dead, he could get through. After all, there should not be too many successful examples.
But Medea did not expect that this storm of public opinion was much more violent than ever before.
First of all, Medea was wrong about one thing, because this time the public's anger was much more serious than Medea's own guess.
There were indeed many cases of the same type before, but they were all struggles between companies. On one side, the weak also cried out their misfortunes in front of the media, and then scolded each other. It was really a good play of dog biting dog.
But this time is different, because Daqian didn't bite Hasbro at all, but directly chose to kneel down in front of Hasbro's door and let Hasbro go.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is already a very humiliating and helpless way. The attitude is low to the extreme, and at the same time, it is also pitiful to the extreme. Daqian can be said to have taken advantage of the word pity.
At the same time, media reports began to analyze, and then came to the conclusion that there is no competitive relationship between Warcraft and Hasbro, which is not normal commercial competition at all.
Because Warcraft is a computer game, and Hasbro sells toys. Both sides are in two industries. Hasbro doesn't block Warcraft for competition at all. It's likely that Hasbro won't be happy to see Warcraft.
This hegemonic act has aroused the anger of the people, so Medya is wrong on this point.
It's like a martial arts contest between two Xiake. Although a Xiake's strength is far stronger than his opponent, if the opponent chooses to fight to the end and finally loses in the hands of the other party, the audience won't have much pity on the defeated opponent. After all, you want to fight to the end.
But if the other opponent doesn't want to fight at all, but kneels down in front of the other party during the duel to ask for forgiveness and let go, and even hatred between the two sides doesn't exist, the opponent is an innocent poor man. You have another thing to kill the other party, that is a wicked man who has lost all conscience.
On the other hand, it was Medya who muttered about Jia Yapeng's means.
Hasbro was reluctant to spend money, but boss Jia, who made a hair, smashed the money at the level of tens of millions of dollars, making all the media bones soft.
So that night, a very popular video instantly appeared in the pictures of all TV news programs, that is, those Blizzard Entertainment employees who went to beg for forgiveness were beaten by security guards.
This video faithfully recorded that the employees of Blizzard Entertainment ran to beg for forgiveness, and their posture was the lowest. As a result, a group of vicious security guards rushed over. After a while of pushing and shoving, they immediately drove people with sticks, and finally beat several Blizzard Entertainment employees with blood all over their heads.
Then, after the video was broadcast, the major TV stations announced that it was a video accidentally taken by a reporter. Now the reporter is being tracked by unknown forces, hiding in a secret place and dare not come out. He can only send the video to the TV station.
Good guy, when such a video is broadcast in the United States, and it is also broadcast in the prime time news program, you can see how terrible the effect will be.
