Looking at the car that Cook left, Zhao Min didn't look good.
They are all veterans of the mall, and she can hear a lot of information from what Cook just said.
Invited? With just these few words, Cook undoubtedly wanted to say that it was Army Ant Company that took the initiative to invite him, not Cook.
The phrase "more cooperation" is a bit inappropriate, but normally it sounds like it's just a polite word, and there's nothing wrong with it. Looking deeply at the direction Cook was leaving, Zhao Min declined interviews from those reporters and hurried back to the company.
That night, Cook showed up at the airport in Binhai City and headed to the capital. There was no cover-up on this trip, which was to go to the capital, Apple's R&D center, and announce that it would increase investment in China.
On the Internet, the short video of Cook's last interview also spread quickly, and various rumors followed closely.
"March Ant Company Invites Apple to Cooperate?" 》
"The reason why Cook came to China!" 》
"Why do army ants please apples?" 》
"Apple and Army Ants Reach a Collaboration?" Is the smart assistant a good name? 》
…
Cook's words when he left the Army Ant Company were brief but revealed a lot of information.
Cook came to China this time at a secret invitation from the Army Ant Company. Apple and Army Ant have reached a cooperation, and there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future.
The news spread on the Internet, and as always, slanderous voices reappeared. All the criticisms this time are well-founded.
Although this reason is an expanded speculation made by the media based on Cook’s one-sided words.
There are so many mobile phone companies in China that can cooperate, but I didn’t expect that Army Ant Company would go back to Apple for cooperation.
Netizens who did not know the truth started a new round of attacks again.
"Kneel down and lick the apple so quickly? Are the army ants submissive? They are too servile."
"I just wanted to buy a Butterfly Eye, but now that I think about it, I feel a little sick."
"Garbage army ants, spineless."
…
The scolding on the Internet also followed these news and became noisy.
In just six months since its establishment, Army Ant Company has become a domestic giant, but it is unwilling to sell shares and raise funds. It has aroused the jealousy of many people, so when there are some troubles, some people want to bring a wave of rhythm, hoping to overthrow this giant and eat it.
Soon, anti-fans and trolls took over the official Weibo of Army Ant Company, and there was a lot of curses. Even those who said good things were labeled as land-washing party.
In the office, Zhao Min was in a bad mood. At the time, it was just a polite comment from Cook, which she felt was inappropriate, but since Cook was not around, she did not refute it on the spot.
I just didn't expect that after being amplified by the literal-minded media, someone would come out to attack them.
Before Cook left, he made a small pit for the Army Ant Company. I just didn't expect that this small hole would be dug bigger and bigger by the media, and people in the dark would add fuel to the fire, so that it has now turned into a trouble.
When Zhao Min was thinking about how to respond, the phone on the table rang: "Mr. Zhao, someone from Apple is calling."
"Get in." Zhao Min said.
"Ms. Zhao, Mr. Cook asked me to tell you that I'm sorry that his slip of the tongue has caused such trouble to your company." As soon as the phone was answered, a rich male voice came.
Zhao Min had a sullen face and said a gentle apology, which made her feel depressed.
Logically speaking, Cook can't really be blamed, but Zhao Min knew that it must have been intentional. Normally, Cook would never pay attention to those reporters.
"It's okay. Say hello to Mr. Cook for me."
After saying that, Zhao Min hung up the phone and asked to call Li Lingfeng: "Lingfeng, let the public relations department clarify that the company has not reached a cooperation with Apple. Also ask Li Legal to help him collect evidence that constitutes rumors, especially It’s those big V public officials, sue them.”
Zhao Min was not in a good mood. Every time there was any disturbance, a group of anti-fans and trolls would come out and abuse her. There are also some so-called big V public figures who always come out to disgust people.
Those so-called big V public knowledge, criticize good things, sensationalize, and complain about anything, which is very disgusting. If they don't teach a lesson, they will never know the pain. Next time they have a chance, they will jump out and disgust them again.
Such people have no idea what the moral bottom line is.
Faced with a lot of abuse, Army Ant’s official Weibo updated a short announcement.
"Army Ant Company has not reached a cooperation with Apple. We also ask media personnel to abide by their professional ethics and do not listen to the wind or rain. Time will tell everything. Finally, we have collected articles and remarks that constitute rumors, and all defamatory Companies and individuals in the Army Ant Company should be prepared to receive letters from lawyers."
The strong response from the Army Ant Company immediately caused a stir. Being attacked every time, it was clear that the Army Ant Company was impatient this time.
"Melon-eating people, wait and see the show."
"I feel sorry for the person who spread the rumors for one second, and the rest I celebrate with 'well deserved', hahaha..."
"This is a swarm of carnivorous army ants. I guess even the flat-headed brother wouldn't dare to mess with it."
"Last time, so many companies and marketing accounts were shut down. I asked those trolls and trolls, why don't they have a long memory? The scars are healed and the pain is forgotten? This nest of army ants will bite people."
…
As soon as this announcement came out, many authors of news reports about army ants immediately took their articles offline. Many people were on tenterhooks for fear of being shot, and began to regret attacking the Marching Ant Company. Compensating Army Ant Company for its reputational damage would be enough to bankrupt them.
Some media and individuals who smeared Army Ant Company began to delete articles and apologize, saying that they had no knowledge and were simply misled by the article.
"A certain big V official has deleted his blog and apologized (manual funny)!"
"I'm going to tell you a joke, Mr. Big V! If you think it's funny, please give it a like."
"These so-called big V public figures are just a bunch of clowns trying to please others by paying attention to them. I didn't expect that they would be kicked out of the woodwork this time."
There were a lot of comments on the official Weibo of Marching Ant, and those public apologies attracted a lot of ridicule.
The online world is very lively. Chen Mo sat on a chair and touched his chin in deep thought. Playing on the computer is the video of Cook leaving the Army Ant Company.
He also didn't expect that Cook would set a trap for them with just one sentence.
He must know that there are countless hungry wolves in the country secretly watching the Army Ant Company. So I made a small plan to cause trouble for the Army Ant Company, and then issued a painless apology to perfectly avoid all responsibilities. They couldn't get angry at him yet.
It's just that Cook tricked them, and it's impossible to swallow this embarrassing loss so easily.
"Mo Girl." Chen Mo said.
"Brother Mo, Mo Nu is here." As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Mo Nu's childish voice appeared on the computer's speakers.
"Is the recording of yesterday's conversation with Zhao Min still there?"
"Here." Mo Nu said.
"Using hacker attack methods to invade our company's servers from the outside and control all our company's computers," Chen Mo said.
"Okay, brother Mo."
Mo Nu's childish voice sounded, and she didn't ask why. This was not her duty, but she couldn't refuse Chen Mo's order.
PS: Let me say here that a book will inevitably have flaws, and it will certainly not be to everyone’s taste. I will read all kinds of criticisms and suggestions, and then look for my own shortcomings. But if you say that I am not good at word count and writing like a running account, let me clarify.
If you write in detail, you will be criticized for my poor word count. If you write less carefully, you will be criticized for my running accounts...I am fine with criticism and will accept it. But it’s really hard for me to say that my word count and running accounts are too low. Each one is written with care. I don’t know what your definition of word count and running accounts are... If you have any suggestions, you can leave them in the book review section. As long as they don’t use foul language, I won’t delete the book review. However, I feel really uncomfortable when people say that I have a low word count and a running account. Finally, thank you everyone for your support
