Chapter 241: Chapter 228: High-End Business Warfare (4k)

Zhang Shan, who had received the boss’s promise of the new department manager’s position, left with an uneasy heart.

Although the boss said minor offenses like scratching a car’s paint or puncturing a tire weren’t illegal, he still worried and did some research on his own.

He then found that indeed these acts only fell under public security management and were not a big deal.

But it seemed not entirely safe since if it caused significant damage, it could violate the criminal law of deliberately destroying public or private property.

So after much contemplation, he finally decided to give the boss’s request some discount.

Let’s skip scratching the paint, just splash paint instead.

Hmm, splash it on the car cover, tear half of it off and leave the other half, then splash it on the remaining half. That way, it would have visual impact without causing any real damage.

Furthermore, create some banners, bring along some of Wu Mu’s posters, and burn them on-site to create a viral effect without worrying about actually breaking the law.

That way, even if I don’t manage to escape in time, I won’t get arrested.

And with no legal pressure, it would also be easier to recruit people.

Once the plan was set, he found some claimed to be very mixed and professional individuals through the company’s factory safety supervisor and started preparing to act.

The next morning, their group arrived at the Shen City car exhibition.

At the car exhibition, the Huiteng’s new car display, which was still under a car cover, had a steady stream of people coming and going, with some stopping to take a look.

After signaling to the professional experts nearby, Zhang Shan quietly moved to the back of the crowd.

He certainly didn’t plan on getting his hands dirty. Besides the risk, he couldn’t really help with this type of task being a non-expert; better just take a video from behind.

He took out his phone, planning to pretend to be a passerby and film the whole scene when it happened.

"Stupid car company, this kind of disdainful car doesn’t deserve to be on the market!"

"We poor bums don’t deserve to buy your cars!"

"Trash celebrity, I really regret misjudging you!"

The people he found were actually quite professional, displaying emotions on point, truly looking like those bottom-tier angry youths stimulated by Internet public opinion.

Just filming this scene and putting it online should be able to redirect everyone’s attention back to this car.

Zhang Shan thought gleefully.

After that, just create a commotion, run fast, and even if they are caught because of the video later on, it shouldn’t be a big issue.

These weren’t criminal acts; as long as those people didn’t go insane, they would never confess to their company’s involvement and would insist it was a spontaneous personal behavior.

He thought to himself with ease.

And just when he felt the department manager’s role was within easy reach.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and firmly grabbed his wrist, "What’s going on with you?"

Zhang Shan, still with a smile on his face, looked over, somewhat unable to react.

Then he saw a young man dressed in black casual athletic wear next to him.

The young man pulled out a badge from his pocket and flashed it at him skeptically, "Police. You’re with them, right? What are you doing?"

Zhang Shan’s mind buzzed blankly, his mouth trembling, "I, I, I am a Wu Mu fan."

The young man’s expression turned even more suspicious, and he straightforwardly pulled out a pair of silver handcuffs from his waist, "Call your friends over and take a trip to the duty office with me."

Handcuffs!!

Zhang Shan’s mind buzzed even more violently, and he trembled all over, "Don’t arrest me, don’t... Run!"

He shouted at the people who had started the commotion.

"Don’t move!"

"Everyone get down!"

The young policeman no longer hesitated and instantly pinned Zhang Shan to the ground.

...

"Huh?"

"You’re saying Qingyang Company sent people to our new car stand to splash paint and hang banners, and the police caught them!?"

Wang Hongtao looked at his subordinate, who was reporting to him, with a dumbfounded face.

The subordinate reporting had an odd expression, "Yes, the paint-splashers ran away, but their manager in charge was caught. He was very cowardly. After the police pinned him down, they barely questioned him, and he confessed everything on his own. There are also plenty of videos taken at the scene."

Saying so, the subordinate showed him the video on his phone.

Wang Hongtao: "..."

After watching the video, only one thought filled Wang Hongtao’s mind.

Outrageous!

Absurd!

Wang Hongtao was of course aware that Qingyang Company had been slandering them.

For business rivals, it was akin to cutting off one’s livelihood, an antagonistic relationship that was like killing one’s parents.

It wasn’t just Qingyang Company, other companies were definitely adding fuel to the fire by buying negative PR.

But he had never expected that the boss of Qingyang would come up with such an abstract idea to target them offline.

And to send such an abstract subordinate.

Stunned, Wang Hongtao instantly realized, "Go buy trending topics! Purchase them on all platforms! Stir up the heat on this issue! Steer the narrative to our recent troubles stemming from competitors’ slander behind our backs!"

"Right! That anchor worked with Qingyang before, right? Market it as a set-up by that anchor along with our competitors aiming to deliberately harm us!"

His subordinate hesitated, "Sacrificing one’s career to set up a trap against us, that seems illogical."

Wang Hongtao glared at him, "Logic? Who cares about logic now? Just put the blame on them and deal with it!"

This was practically an opportunity handed to them by fate!

Online, everyone was criticizing their new car, mainly because it was implicated by that anchor.

Now, if they just marketed themselves as victims too, then there would be no grounds for anyone to criticize them, right?

Besides, they could push all the recent controversy onto their competitors; it wasn’t that there was anything wrong with their new car, but simply that the competitors couldn’t stand to see them doing well and were employing all sorts of tactics like buying fake reviews and negative PR against them.
