Chapter 50 Attitude Reversal
According to Lily's investigation, despite the righteous masks these media personalities put on, their true colors had long been exposed in front of Skyview.
They all loved money, just in different ways.
Perhaps there are people in this world who were not afraid of death, but there truly were none who do not love money.
People were always driven by money, that was the truth of the world.
In Skyview's view, 99% of the world's problems could be solved with money.
The remaining 1% of problems that couldn't be solved? It was because the money wasn't enough!
This time, Skyview deliberately made a bet with the ambitious John, intent on using John's money to handle Lakeview Express' public relations crisis! One billion dollars was enough to twist any truth.
Moreover, Lakeview Express' scandal initially was not the truth, so there was no need to spend a billion on crisis management. In fact, Skyview stood to make a hefty profit from this!
When a person had capital, making money became incredibly easy!
Working hard to get rich had always been the biggest lie in this world.
Just like these media workers, they couldn't afford to buy a house in their lifetime just by their salaries. But Henry owned five or six properties, and it was definitely not from his honest work.
Of course, they spoke for the rich and powerful. Wasn't that the main function of the media workers?
Skyview understood this well and didn't waste time, nodding at Lily.
Lily immediately understood, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Bring the stuff in!"
As Lily's voice fell, a group of well-dressed strong men burst into the conference room, each carrying a large black suitcase, their faces expressionless.
"What do you want to do? You try to force us? Violence is illegal!" Henry exclaimed in shock.
Luke added, "If you intend to use violence against us, it's illegal!"
Jordan advised, "Young man, you still have a long life to live, don't commit crimes!"
Samuel was also alarmed and said, "If they don't leave, we will call the police!"
These well-dressed, strong men looked fierce and made the media workers mistakenly think that Skyview might be a gang leader planning to use violence.
Skyview pulled up a smile and said, "Don't be nervous. I am a civilized person. How could I resort to violence? I just want to buy you off with money!"
The crowd was puzzled.
Skyview continued, "Open the suitcase!"
The well-dressed strong men, without expressions, opened the suitcase, took out a thick stack of bills, and placed them in front of the crowd!
Money! Money! Money!
Many people were already ecstatic.
Henry looked at the stack of money in front of him and sneered, "I'm not the kind of person you can easily buy off, you're insulting my integrity!"
Skyview said, "Add another stack for Henry!"
The strong men in suits did as Skyview's words.
Henry's gaze was firm as he said, "I will not sell my soul for money, I am a media person with morals and conscience!"
Skyview responded, "Add another stack!"
Another stack of money appeared in front of Henry.
Henry gritted his teeth. "There is no way, you…"
Skyview saw that Henry's countenance somehow changed.
This stack of money was worth a hundred thousand dollars!
Three stacks, that was three hundred thousand!
"Give Henry another stack of money!" Skyview said.
Another stack of money was placed in front of Henry.
Henry's expression suddenly became very strange. With a serious look, he said, "Maintaining an attitude towards all matters objectively is the stance every media person should have. I believe Lakeview Express must have been framed, and I will help clarify the facts for Lakeview Express. This is the moral and conscience of all media workers!" He stood up, looking righteous.
"Henry is such a smart man. He already knew that my company was framed, and you should listen to reason as well!" Skyview smiled. "Give everyone more money!"
"Mr. Scott, we misunderstood before. I suddenly realized that many of the opinions against your Lakeview Express were exaggerated!" Luke said. "I will make sure to clarify the misunderstanding for your company with a front-page headline, and I will praise Lakeview Express' efficiency! Lakeview Express is a miracle in the courier industry!"
Tyler said, "I will go back and post an article on Facebook and Twitter that Lakeview Express is the rising star of the Golden Valley courier industry. All the false accusations towards it were ridiculous! "
Samuel, with a sense of righteousness, said, "From now on, if AquaGrove has any unfavorable comments about Lakeview Express, I will delete them all! Lakeview Express is an outstanding enterprise with a high sense of social responsibility. We just can't let such a great company get involved in such a huge scandal. "
Samuel's words became incoherent towards the end, and he did not know what he was saying.
"Support Lakeview Express!"
"Lakeview Express is wronged!"
"Lakeview Express is a victim, we must speak up and support Lakeview Express!"
The journalists all showed their support.
They completely forgot their hypocritical faces from earlier and their criticism of Skyview, and their attitudes completely changed.
The power of money was truly formidable!
Suzanne was stunned. Her faith in dignity and righteousness had been shattered.
Lily, on the other hand, was used to such scenes and events, having seen many. She knew that Skyview hadn't spent much money to buy off these media workers. The expenditure on them only added up to ten million, and with subsequent ad purchases, it was only twenty million. Spending twenty million to turn public opinion around was quite cheap!
"So, I'll leave it to you all!" Skyview smiled.
"I will host an episode of '60 Minutes' today! And I can clarify for the accident of your company." Henry pledged, "I will do a good job for you!"
Luke chuckled. "We will definitely speak for our conscience. We can't let outstanding entrepreneurs like Mr. Scott be wronged."
Tyler said, "Rest assured, I have 20 million followers, know countless bloggers, I will definitely speak fairly for you!"
Samuel said, "Seeing such an outstanding entrepreneur in our city being slandered, others might laugh, but I can't find it in me funny. I am very sad! I must uphold justice for you. I can't let you be wronged!"
The media workers all made their statements.
"You guys are the conscience of our Golden Valley. Because of you media workers, the public can find out the truth!" Skyview praised. "You are all great people, I deeply respect you!"
"You are the true great people!"
The group was harmonious and extremely congenial.
