Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 829 No one in the court dared to speak out.
"Even if they have mistreated their employees, don't they think it's immoral for the other side to retaliate in this 'violence begets violence' manner?"

"Morality? Ha~" Chen Mo scoffed, his sharp edge suddenly piercing the calm. "When these capitalists talk about blessings, you media praise them for their 'wolf-like' nature."

When they resorted to the "last-place elimination" system, you wrote articles praising their "management wisdom";

Open your eyes and look around. I'm a capitalist too, you know. I'm just returning their management style to its original form.
Why don't you praise me? In your words, how did I suddenly become 'immoral'?

The reporters fell silent again, and the only sounds were the clicking of camera shutters and the constant flashes of light.

“You scrutinize the other side with a magnifying glass and nitpick my every move with a microscope. It’s not that the other side is incapable of singing praises for this event, but I haven’t done so, otherwise how could I see all of you here?”

Chen Mo's gaze as he looked at the crowd below the stage was inscrutable.
Finally, as a reporter from the local media outlet, the Beijing Times, I attempted to ease the tension:
"Chairman Chen, what exactly do you want to prove through this experiment?"

Chen Mo concealed his sharp edge, a weariness in his eyes even more profound than that of bosses who had worked two consecutive nights of sleepless nights, yet his voice carried immense power:

"A single sentence from above can send those below running themselves ragged, while the results achieved through countless hours of hard work may not even be glanced at and are discarded like worn-out shoes. The reason for this may be a spur-of-the-moment decision, or simply to keep those below busy."

So what exactly are true human rights?

Actually, I'm not seeking revenge; I just have a question that's been lingering in my mind, but no one can answer it.

"Why should employees 'voluntarily accept' a workload that even the bosses themselves can't handle?"

"Why are you media outlets here today speaking out for the bosses, but yesterday you remained silent about the unfair treatment of your employees?"

Among the dozens of reporters present, not one dared to speak out, after all, they were also working people who were just following orders.

Chen Mo's eyes flashed with sarcasm. "See? You can't answer this question that everyone knows the answer to either."

"The Other Shore Group is just a mirror, reflecting a series of greedy faces, yet some people always turn a blind eye."

When the sun rises, they will reveal their true form.

At this point, the balance of power shifted, and no one dared to raise their hand to ask a question anymore.

Chen Mo suddenly laughed, his gaze sweeping over the trembling reporters, and continued to ask, "As journalists, will you report what I just said truthfully? How about you give me a price? How much did you get paid before? We'll double that, okay?"

In the dead silence, he called on Chen Tong by name: "Tell me about the responsibilities of the media."

Chen Tong, who was sitting in a corner of the audience and was called upon by the boss, stood up and looked at the bewildered young juniors with pity in her eyes.
Those few words of reply just now sent chills down his spine, even if he were in their shoes.

Although the boss has been more self-disciplined and rarely confronts the media in the past two years, it doesn't mean his temper has improved.

In the past, whether it was Xiaomi or the other side of the strait, dozens or even hundreds of online trolls were sent in, and countless media reporters lost their jobs.

If you don't discipline them for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. Why did you guys mess with the boss?
What was supposed to be a friendly Q&A session with reporters was intended by the boss to convey that the significance of this training program was simply to enable all employees to work in companies where they are paid for their work and can utilize their skills.

Now it's turned into a question-and-answer session with Chen Mo. The usually eloquent media professionals have collectively become mute in front of him.
As a veteran of the media industry, Chen Tong spoke clearly and eloquently, "The duty of journalists is to be the guardians of society, the transmitters of truth, and the enlighteners of the public."

"Forget it, life should be full of vibrant colors, but when you mix together in the big dye vat of society, it becomes naked black. I don't expect you to report the truth."

So, I'm sorry, I started a live stream on Douyin beforehand for this press conference.

The large screen above simultaneously displayed a Douyin live stream page, showing the live footage.

live streaming?

This caused some panic among the media present. In the past, they were the ones who looked down on others, but now they had become the objects of observation.
They don't know how capital behaves in the sunlight.

But at this moment, they felt they had been exposed to the light of day, after all, many of them had something to hide.
Several reporters even deliberately hid behind the cameras.

It was clearly a trial on the other side of the ocean, launched by a collective attack from the media.
Now, however, it has become a complete media exposé under the live broadcast camera.

Chen Mo watched and watched, just like he was standing on a stage watching a play, except this time he was the 'audience' in the audience.

"That's it. Either report the facts or don't report at all. If you want to continue to demonstrate your journalistic abilities, then the other side can no longer remain indifferent as before."

Remember, this is not a warning, but well-intentioned advice!

After finishing speaking, Chen Mo got up to leave, but suddenly remembered something and picked up the microphone again, "To the reporters who asked questions earlier, I guess you'll have a hard time explaining yourselves when you get back. There might be some suitable new jobs for you on the Zhiyan app, so you can start preparing now."

The live stream ended the moment the door closed, with a cumulative viewership exceeding 100 million and likes surpassing 50 million.

Outside the door, seeing Chen Tong following him, Chen Mo casually said, "You should know what to do, right?"

"Understood!" Chen Tong began his performance.

After all, he had prepared various contingency plans before organizing this press conference, and the current situation was one of them.

"So what if he's the richest man? I never expected Chen Mo to be so petty. What's wrong with asking a question? What kind of man is he!"

The female reporter who asked the first question at the press conference a few hours earlier walked angrily into the company building.

The clatter of my high heels echoed crisply on the floor. As soon as I entered, my boss ushered me directly into the conference room.

"You're fired, 2N compensation." The manager's tone was completely indifferent.

"What's the reason?"

"No reason given. Since this is a voluntary layoff by the company, we are offering you 2N severance pay."

The woman immediately remembered Chen Moli's words before he left, and she was very indignant, "I clearly asked the questions the company had set."

"Take the money and leave. It's better for everyone if we part ways amicably. If you go out and say anything carelessly, not only will there be no compensation, but if it damages the company's reputation, you know what will happen."

"You're scared, haha~~~ So you want to cut me up? Do you think I'm just a tool?"

"What else? 2N compensation—the company rarely offers this kind of financial support; we should cherish it."

"Damn it, is there no human rights left here?"

"Yes, it's on the other side! You can go there and enjoy yourself. Of course, you don't have to sign. Then we'll proceed with the normal labor arbitration. Even if you make a fuss, it won't do any good. We'll act entirely in accordance with the labor law, and no one can find fault with us."

The manager acted in accordance with the law and was therefore fearless.

A woman stood on the street holding a cardboard box, the wind swirling fallen leaves past her feet.

She once championed capital, but now she has become a pawn in the capital game, with no one speaking up for her.

At the same time, several other reporters who asked questions also received similar "graduation notices".

The headline that evening was: "Chen Mo's 'Trial by Capital': Why Does the Media Suddenly Start Discussing 'Human Rights' When Perpetrators Become Victims?"

The top trending topic on Zhihu is: "When media outlets start applying double standards, they automatically become second-rate."

The hashtags #MediaExposed# and #ChenMo'sSoul-SearchingQuestionAtThePressConference# trended on Weibo.

The media outlets across the strait did not promote the Peiqiang program at all. Since some media outlets have run into the spotlight, we don't mind showing off a little.

The media outlets attending the press conference seemed to have reached a tacit agreement at the same time, with none of them reporting on it, as if they had entered a period of silence.

They also turned a blind eye to the provocations reported by the other side of the river platform.

Because they know that the other side is waiting for the first bird to step forward.

A press conference brimming with malice ultimately left the media taking the fall for the capital.

Although no media outlet dared to report on the content of this press conference, the other side of the strait was inconvenient to report it due to certain concerns.

But there was more voice online; tens of millions of viewers watched the live stream, sharing, exchanging, and spreading the news on various information exchange platforms.
Chen Mo's resounding questions resonated online, in images and texts, and in people's hearts.
Like countless seeds scattered across the earth.

May 1st is International Labor Day.

At 10 a.m., the assessment hall of the Beyond Science and Technology Park was once again filled with people.

The bosses, accompanied by their legal counsel and lawyers, stared at the "Strategic Cooperation Agreement for 'Upward Strengthening' of Beyond Group" on the table, their eyes burning with both fire and struggle.

Chapter 1 General Provisions
Article 1 Cooperation Objectives

Beyond Group (Party A) and ____ Enterprise (Party B) establish a "support-reform" partnership to jointly practice the "business for good" concept and create a new model of Chinese business civilization through financial empowerment and management upgrades.

Article 2 Principle of Voluntariness

By signing this agreement, Party B is deemed to have voluntarily accepted Party A's supervision system and may apply to withdraw at any time, but must return the financial support corresponding to the unfulfilled period.

Chapter Two: Contents of Cooperation Between the Two Parties
Chapter Three Core Terms

Party B must strictly comply with the relevant provisions of the Labor Law; Party A will send supervisory teams to conduct random inspections from time to time. The first violation will result in a yellow card warning, and the second violation will result in a red card termination of cooperation.

Signed commitment: This company voluntarily and unconditionally accepts all the modifications made by the other side.

Attachments: 1. Labor Law; 2. Other Shore Supervision and Evaluation Standards; 3. Other Shore Funds Usage Audit Standards.

After everyone finished reading the agreement, Chen Mo picked up the microphone and said, "I think everyone can see what this assessment has shown."

Once this cooperation agreement is signed, we are on your side. We will spare no effort to help you, but all efforts are mutual, and we also need to see your sincerity.

In my dictionary, Chen Mo, there are only friends and enemies, nothing else.

To friends, the other side can be as warm as a spring breeze and gentle rain;

But for the enemy, the other side will be as cold and biting as the wind.
Once you're ashore, there's no turning back.

Of course, this time it's still entirely voluntary!
Should I leave? Should I stay?
I'll give you ten minutes to consider.
