Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 902 "14" Democrats and Republicans are shocked: What the hell? Why isn't the support rate for the "protective umbrella" dropping?

Next,
It's April now.

The Republican smear campaign against Umbrella Corporation continues in full swing.

The Washington Times published a prominent article claiming that an "exclusive investigation" had uncovered serious corruption and irresponsibility towards residents in several communities owned by Umbrella Properties.

Meanwhile, major television stations were also busy.

A CNN news program invited a so-called "expert" who spoke candidly on the show, accusing Umbrella Property of pursuing short-term profits at the expense of residents' interests in many of its projects.

A few more days passed,
The New York Post dropped a bombshell, claiming that Umbrella Corporation had secret accounts overseas and used sophisticated financial methods to transfer large amounts of funds from the United States abroad, suspected of serious economic crimes.

Television media were not to be outdone; Fox News launched a special program that provided an in-depth "analysis" of Umbrella Corporation for three consecutive days.

During the program, a person claiming to be the former financial director of Umbrella Property (wearing a mask) appeared to give a firsthand account of how the company falsified accounts and concealed its true financial situation.

Then two more days,
The Washington Post published a commentary linking Umbrella Property to a series of recent social problems, claiming that Umbrella Property's "bad behavior" has led to a deterioration in social morality and a rise in crime rates.

Newspapers also reported that Umbrella Corporation used its vast network to launder money…

Next, major television stations began producing special documentaries, integrating and repackaging all the previous negative reports before broadcasting them during prime time.

The documentary is filled with sensational statements and unverified "evidence," constantly reinforcing the public's negative impression of Umbrella Corporation.

Amid this barrage of mudslinging,

Li Fu, the chairman of Umbrella Property, has never appeared in public.

……

……

new York,

The April sunshine brought some warmth to New York.
The streets remain as bustling and noisy as ever.

Guan Zu walked into the Devoción coffee shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with a cup of bubble tea in hand.

The moment I stepped inside, I felt a sense of warmth.

Guan Zu walked straight to the sofa in the corner and plopped down on it.

So comfortable~~~
"Slurp slurp~~~~~"

Enjoying the pearls, chewing them with relish.

Bodyguards Lee Christmas and Barney Ross stood like two iron towers behind him, one on his left and one on his right, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

"Slurp s ...

Li Shengmu: "…………"

Barney Ross: "…………"

Soon, the two of them each ordered a cup of coffee.

Guan Zu glanced at the two of them and said, "Bubble tea is delicious. You two shouldn't always drink coffee. What's so good about coffee? It's so bitter."

Li Shengmu: "Bubble tea will make you fat..."

Barney Ross: "I've gained 3 pounds, boss..."

I subconsciously pinched my stomach.

Since they started working for a new boss, the two of them have become too comfortable, exercised less, and started to gain weight.

Oh my god~~~
Li Shengya: "Besides, boss, this is a coffee shop. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to drink milk tea here?"

Guan Zu said confidently, "I'm rich, I'm free. If the coffee shop dares to complain, then what's the point of me being rich?"

Li Christmas and Barney Ross: "…………"

Speechless.

at this time,

The coffee shop was filled with all sorts of people, each chatting away.

"Have you guys noticed that there's been a lot of negative news about Umbrella Property lately?"

"Indeed, there are far too many. It feels like a premeditated smear campaign."

"Yes, I feel that way too."

"It's been almost two months since last month, and there have been reports every day, it just won't end."

"At first, I thought it might really be that the property management company was incompetent. But with all the daily reports and no real evidence, it's really suspicious."

"On Facebook, someone listed reports from last month to now, investigated them one by one, and found that none of them had any evidence; they were either vague or fabricated..."

"Who did this property management company offend?"

"do not know."

“Some people analyzed those media outlets and found that they were all from the Republican camp, so they suspected that it was done by the Republicans.”

"Republicans, that's quite possible."

"That chairman, Li Fu, has never appeared in public."

Guan Zu listened to the surrounding discussions and smiled slightly.

During this time,

He frequently frequents various crowded places, listening to the sounds around him.

At first, many people were affected, but as more reports came in, those people realized something was wrong.

after all,

Conspiracy theories are one of humanity's greatest passions.

It's all a conspiracy, absolutely a conspiracy!

Moreover, Facebook played a very significant role this time, with countless West Coast residents speaking out online for Umbrella Corporation and highlighting what Umbrella Corporation has been doing all along.

They're like die-hard fans.

The peak breeds false support, the twilight witnesses true believers!
The more smears are leveled against Umbrella Property, the more they support it.

On Guan Zu's system panel
His approval rating hasn't dropped at all.

Instead, prices rose!

At this point, Guan Zu relaxed.

If your approval rating remains unchanged, what can the Republicans use to compete with me?

Noob!

……

……

And at the same time,

A large-scale Republican poll is underway on the West Coast.

Of course, the investigation was conducted by a third-party organization, not by an internal Republican agency.

Survey sample size: 2 people.

……

A week later,

White House. In that spacious and solemn presidential office,

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Thud~~~~
President Bush slammed his fist on the table and stood up in disbelief.

In front of him was a public opinion poll report issued by a third-party research company.

The staff and subordinates around him, some standing and some sitting, all wore serious expressions.

The meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

everything,
All because of the findings of the investigation report!
Are you sure this poll data is accurate?

"why?"

"Why?"

Bu Shi looked at everyone, his voice low but carrying a hint of questioning, as well as doubt and confusion.

"We launched such a large-scale public opinion offensive against the property management company, yet their approval rating remains so high, without dropping at all?"

"Mr. President, the data has been verified multiple times and is indeed true."

"We're also puzzled, why is that?"

"Past experience tells us that this is very wrong!"

"That's right!"

The mentality of each of his staff members and subordinates was no different from that of Bu Shi.

When they received the research report, they were all incredulous.

One of the aides, with a somber expression, said, “Our propaganda has not only failed to work, but during the investigation, many citizens clearly stated that they still firmly support Umbrella Property, and many even believe that this series of negative news against Umbrella Property is being manipulated by our Republican Party.”

The others also looked equally annoyed.

If they are 100% certain of their actions, why can't they succeed?
What the hell is this Umbrella Corporation?
Bu Shi's expression was not good. He tapped the table lightly and fell into a brief moment of thought.

After a moment, he sat up straight, his eyes regaining their usual sharpness and decisiveness, and said:

"There must be some special reason for this..."

"First, find another research company to conduct the survey..."

"Also, let's investigate whether our Republican Party's support on the West Coast has dropped..."

Everyone: "Yes!"

……

……

It is no coincidence.

The headquarters of the Democratic National Committee is located at 430 South Congress Street in the southeastern part of Washington, D.C.

The Democratic Party also sent people to conduct an investigation.

The survey involved 20000 people.

And the investigation results were delivered to the party leader's desk today.

After the party leader saw the investigation results,

"How can this be?"

The party leader is unbelievable.

It was initially thought that Umbrella Corporation would suffer a severe blow and its approval rating would plummet under the strong propaganda offensive of the Republican Party. However, this survey result shows that public support for Umbrella Corporation has not only not declined, but has even increased in some areas.

This was not what he had expected.

quickly,

A high-level meeting of the Democratic Party was held.

The party leader sat in the head seat, his gaze slowly sweeping over the group of high-ranking officials in the conference room.

"Everyone, please take a look at this research report..."

distribution,

Everyone turned to look.

"what?"

"impossible!"

"How is this going?"

They looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and confusion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is more complicated than we imagined. The Umbrella Corporation's influence among the public is far deeper than we anticipated."

"Despite such a massive public opinion attack from the Republican Party, they were not only not negatively affected, but even gained more sympathy and support."

A senior campaign official couldn't help but ask, "Party leader, could there be a problem with the research team? Is their sample selection incomplete, or are there errors in the data?"

The party leader shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This agency has been cooperating with us for many years and has always had a good reputation. Moreover, their investigation methods are rigorous, and their sample covers several states and up to 2 people. It is unlikely that such a basic mistake would occur."

"so!"

"Everyone, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the Umbrella Property Management to ask for help!"

As soon as this word comes out,
Everyone had a strange expression.

They divided up Happiness Property, so they also want to divide up Umbrella Property.

but,

The property management company was completely unscathed!
How will this be divided?

Umbrella Property Management, how can you be so powerful!

The party leader looked around at the crowd:

"So……"

"Now we need to take action!"

"First of all: As our ally, Umbrella Property cannot stand idly by and watch Umbrella Property continue to be slandered like this!"

"We are friends, allies, and brothers. We must stand up and help protect Umbrella Property!"

As soon as this word comes out,
The entire audience unanimously agreed.

"I agree!"

"Agree!"

"Bang! Those despicable Republicans, they actually framed our Umbrella Property! They're born evil!"

"They've gone too far! We, the righteous ones, must teach them a lesson!"

They were all heartbroken and filled with remorse.

Then he spoke with righteous indignation and awe-inspiring integrity.

They seem to have forgotten that last month, they were plotting to sit back and watch the tigers fight, while they divided up the Umbrella Corporation.
