Chapter 1300 Gaming means to control the mouthpiece
As a member of the game between the two sides, and the one who is eager to win, the first thing the Stark government has to do when playing games is to find out the other party’s background and figure out the other party’s routines.
The routine that the consortium can use is actually very simple. After all, it is just to use its own forces to make things difficult for the Stark government and to use some shameful and dark means.
Although the action is simple, it is extremely useful. Just like there are always a few exceptions among American presidents in history who have been assassinated by people. It is possible that they were assassinated by ordinary people, and there is no conspiracy behind this. Is this possible? It is really like the security system that concentrates the elite forces of a country.
Without the involvement of hostile capital, without the rich people who are buying people's hearts behind their backs, or even using media and public opinion to clear obstacles, how could things be so simple?
Although Tony is not worried that the capital consortiums will use this trick, because no matter what, he still has the title of a superhero. But this does not mean that he will not underestimate this issue. He does not need to consider his danger, but the important figures in the Stark administration are worried about this. In this government department that has been streamlined to the limit, the casualties of any key figure may cause a series of impacts. This is definitely not what Tony wants to see.
Fortunately, Tony does not need to think too much about their safety. Because these senior officials themselves are not simple things. The professions they used to be extremely dangerous, which made them not only have a keen awareness of danger, but also have the ability to deal with most dangers. It is not that simple for those capital consortiums to use those dirty means to deal with them. Even if they are not careful, they may even play with them. Therefore, Tony is not very worried about this issue.
In contrast, he was more worried about the conventional means the consortiums would use.
The easiest way for capital to fight the government is to encourage the people. Because they are born with an advantage over the government in terms of relationships, they can easily convey their ideas to the people's brains. Using the dissemination of media and public opinion and their positions in their work, they can easily do these things.
You should know that there is always an anti-government sentiment in the hearts of the people. In many countries, government remarks can be questioned for the people. Compared with the remarks released by the government, most people are more willing to believe in reports in the media or even the rumors about people around them. They do not care whether these reports and news are carefully studied or compiled by jokesters in five minutes. For them, as long as these news is against the government, it is worth watching.
This is a headache for all governments. Sometimes in order to ensure that those guys who are brainwashed by conspiracy theories do not pour too much dirty water on their heads, they have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to do public relations in the media. Image engineering is exhausting the people and money, but they have to do it. This is a major reason.
On this issue, the United States is definitely the most serious one. The reason for saying this is that on the one hand is the historical problems left by the Americans. Those such as the Gulf War, the Agent Orange children in Vietnam, the Middle East abuse of civilians, etc., are extremely imprisoned by the American people. For these things, they have repeatedly protested to their governments. Even after many years, some people still launched a march to the White House under this banner.
On the other hand, it is because the United States has very little strength in media control.
You should know that in today's society, the power represented by the news media cannot be underestimated. Because if anyone wants to understand what is happening around him and in this society, it must be achieved through the power of the news media. The news media is the window in front of all the people. For the government, the news media is their mouthpiece. If the people want to understand themselves and identify themselves, the government must use the news media to make their voices.
They are very important, so important that any country should retain a channel of specialized news as a bridge for communication between itself and its people. Unfortunately, the United States does not have such channels.
In the United States, almost all news media are affiliated with those capital enterprises. They are private, so in most cases they only serve private people. In this country, it is not what the government wants you to see, you can see. But what the capital agrees to show you what the government can show you.
The relationship between the government and the media is very embarrassing. They often only have the so-called supervision power. For the practitioners of the news media, the supervision power is probably not as important as their freedom of the press. So many times, Americans can see their government being ridiculed and ridiculed. People who joke with the president are not one or two, but piles of them. There is no awe of the government and the media. If there is any explosive news in their hands, they will not care about the government's losses. A big news that attracts traffic is enough for them to put the entire government on the barbecue. And the US government has no way to do this.
Private property is sacred and inviolable. This regulation has long been above the government under the operation of capitalists. Under such a banner, the news media have always been fearless. Almost all the government has the only chance of being ridiculed by them. If they are not happy, or even use any coercive means, then the Uncrowned King will tell you what the anger of the people is unstoppable.
This is a very fatal problem, especially at the moment. Tony is very clear that if the news of himself being the messenger behind him is revealed, then the consortiums that control the news media will definitely spare no effort to throw dirty water on the news media. Faced with this frame-up and slander, Tony does not think that the people can have too much sober understanding.
He knows his people too well. They lack wisdom and are extremely easy to be motivated. Sometimes when big names in the news media shout, they will immediately climax as if they were stepped on by someone. It is simply an unrealistic problem to expect these people to remain rational at that time and have a clear understanding of the government they govern. So Tony is very clear that his next job is to control this mouthpiece.
Not to mention controlling all the media in your own hands, at least you must be able to control the key points to ensure that the direction of public opinion does not tilt to the opposite side. However, it is not easy to do this. Because media is obviously a forbidden property of those capital consortiums.
It is easy to ask him to take over large heavy industry companies like General Electric under the banner of Osborne. Because in many people's eyes, this is just a struggle between the same industry. Osborne and these companies are in a competitive relationship. It is understandable to take over the other party in one fell swoop when they are in a decadent period. Because the growth and growth of any company is actually inseparable from this step. This is an industry phenomenon, and no one can say that there is a problem.
However, if Osborne takes advantage of this time to reach out to the news media industry, it will obviously touch the nerves of many people.
No one is an idiot. If you, a high-tech and heavy industry company, suddenly get involved in a industry related to media and entertainment, it is a problem in itself. Your funds are not enough to reach such a long time, especially if you have just made such a big move. If you really do this, even if you don’t doubt you at the beginning, you will inevitably have more ideas about you. At that time, Osborne will be in danger.
In Tony's plan, Osborne is a very critical link. So he would never let Osborne do such a dangerous thing. So, who should I ask? After thinking about it, Tony finally got a clue. After having such clues, he immediately called a private phone number.
"Mr. Wang, it's me, Tony Stark. I have a business to talk to you!"
On the other end of the private phone, a capital businessman from the country across the ocean. As a businessman, it is hard to say that he has no big connection with his own government in which country he can climb to the position of the richest man. However, Tony didn't care about this kind of connection, so he told him this purpose directly.
Faced with this, the person on the other side was obviously a little surprised. He was surprised by Tony's identity. It was obviously incredible that the president of a country called him like this. This made him hesitate because his identity was special. If he had private contact with the other party's senior management without authorization, then there might be some unnecessary trouble. In addition to this hesitation, he was still a little excited.
As the richest man, he could not know about the recent big moves within the country. He originally thought that this had nothing to do with him, but now it may not be so. He does not lack capital, all he lacks is opportunity. But now, it is absolutely impossible for him to turn a blind eye to him.
So after thinking about it, he immediately made up his mind. This made him take a tone of respect and laugh at Tony.
"His Excellency President, you really made me, Mr. Wang, so I am so glorious. I wonder what kind of business it is, can you contact me in person?"
"Mr. Wang, let's talk short. I know you have always wanted to dig capital into the American entertainment industry, and while completing the transformation, you open up the second way to make money. It's just that your plan has been restricted by policy issues, and your plan cannot be realized. Now, I can give you this opportunity, and I will ask you if you have the courage!"
