crush the rich

Yin Lian wrote in the letter: "The war of public opinion has never been a legend of detectives. You don't have to be obsessed with returning the truth to the public. Let me understand that ordinary people have their own aspirations, and they are more willing to believe what they want to believe." To fight a public opinion war is not to persuade a specific person, but to gain an advantage in public opinion. It is like playing chess. It is certainly a way of chess that he attacks and I defend, but it can be compared with Attacking is another way of chess."

Then she elaborated in detail, gave a few examples, and stated the responses she might choose to take in this situation.She expounded three plans, and responded to the methods of the Zhongzhou warlords from three different directions.

One, in the name of another missing person, came out to confront Chen Zhong, overthrow and refute his statement, and even beat him back.The second is to let the local people and squires treat an ordinary nouveau riche land and mine owner with the attitude, and encourage him to buy land and property and participate in various celebrity gatherings.Liars have a lot of outfits, and it is impossible to spend like a real rich man. If he refuses to participate in activities that can improve his own class on the surface, others will naturally feel abnormal.But if he participates, the scammers' own funds will soon be unable to support them. Even if they are strong, they will hold back their capital and prevent them from expanding the scam.On the basis of this strategy, you can also try to invite people who are famous and experienced in gold mining to invite them to understand, and then seize their flaws to expose and refute them—if the newspaper’s remarks are not enough for local prestige , or each has conflicts, then the authority in this regard should always be convincing enough.

The third strategy is completely different from the first two, and Yin Lian calls it "struggling with the heart".It is indeed easier for the other party to use the people in the village and town as a fulcrum to gain the trust of the villagers and their relatives and friends, but at the same time, the relationship is two-way, and his behavior is more likely to be noticed or even blocked by relatives and friends.If the prince's people can persuade the people around Chen Zhong to indirectly instigate Chen Zhong's rebellion through their attitudes, they can achieve the goal of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot.

There are two ways to influence.

One is to make Chen Zhong feel that the people he values ​​will be victimized by his deception, and the other is to make Chen Zhong feel whipped and condemned by those he is close to or admired in terms of conscience.For example, if Chen Zhongruo had a son and a younger brother, he would indirectly make them look forward to and even envy the Nuggets through the surrounding public opinion atmosphere.And the well-known gentry in his hometown, even Li Zheng, or his uncles and elders, can be the point of attacking him on conscience.To do this, you don't even need your own people to come forward to bribe you, you just need to grasp the character of the relevant people and give indirect guidance.

As for the specific strategy, Yin Lian herself couldn't formulate it on her behalf because of the distance and lack of understanding of the actual situation, but she didn't care.I believe that there are many talented people around the prince, and as long as she is given a little hint, she can formulate many more subtle strategies than her.

The prince was reminded by her, and after a little discussion, he felt that these strategies were feasible, so he formulated several strategies according to her thinking.

"Speaking of feasible candidates, I happen to have one here, and I don't need to find another person." Mr. Ren said, "We asked people to investigate the situation in Zhongzhou before, but it was not all fruitless. Not only were they successfully placed in Zhongzhou A few spies got some news and saved two people."

"At that time, for some reason, the Zhongzhou warlord wanted to kill two soldiers, but we seized the opportunity to save them and hide them. In the past two days, one of them had just regained consciousness, and we didn't know that these two men were still with Chen Zhong's. Things matter."

Mr. Ren explained the matter in detail, and the prince knew what was going on.It turned out that these two people were the people that the Zhongzhou warlord originally planned to use to carry out the mission that Chen Zhong was currently doing. It was only later that the other party discovered that they were secretly unwilling to deceive their fathers and fellow villagers, and even secretly planned to expose it to the court. and accuse them before planning to dispose of them.

When Mr. Ren secretly asked someone to rescue them, the other party was already half dead. Even so, it took a lot of effort to hide it from the people in Zhongzhou.Mr. Ren sent people to try their best to treat him, but he only woke up one after another after the treatment. One of them was not able to communicate, but the other was already conscious, and told some stories intermittently.

Knowing the intentions of the Zhongzhou counselors, Mr. Ren sighed, and felt that Zhongzhou's move was really well-understood. If there was no Yin Lian behind the scenes, with their usual coping methods, they would be exhausted for a while.While admiring the little girl Zeng Erya, she also secretly became wary of the counselors in Zhongzhou.

This wave of operations in Zhongzhou is really disgusting. In Mr. Ren's opinion, this kind of method is too low-level, and it is not what should be done for a big event. Li Warlord who can do this kind of behavior is not to be feared in the long run.It's just that although this person can't become a serious confidant, he has a disease like scabies, which still makes people feel sick after all.

Moreover, this practice of defrauding and entrapping ordinary people has already surpassed the level that soldiers are not tired of cheating, so it can be said to be a low-level operation.This is by no means the actions of princes with the heart to compete, more like the practice of some cult or bandit, it is really not worthy of the status of a dignified lord.

But even if he knew what happened, Mr. Ren would not be able to expose it for a while. It was really too absurd for a faction of warlords.

However, the series of strategies proposed by Yin Lian made him aware of the opportunity of artificially creating "opportunities".

Of the two people who were rescued, one was from Nanyi Province and the other was from a neighboring province.Waking up, this one is from a neighboring province. In Mr. Ren's opinion, it is not as suitable as the one from Nanyi Province, but it has the advantage of timing.

So he designed it and used this one first.

Although the salesman in the neighboring province is not from Nanyi Province, he knows Nanyi dialect, and because of the previous incident, he can be said to be full of hatred for the Zhongzhou warlords, so there is no need to worry about him being bribed or betrayed, or even Any benefits that need to be given can make him actively cooperate with Mr. Ren's actions.

What's even better is that after Mr. Ren inquired carefully, he found that the other party and Chen Zhong were quite familiar with each other. They even lived together in the Zhongzhou military camp for a while before, which made his plan even more successful. Rate.

Next, the newspaper circles in Nanyi Province can be said to be very lively. This series of incidents inexplicably attracted the attention of almost the whole people and heated discussions from all walks of life. There were countless reports brought out, and reporters from various newspaper offices conducted in-depth investigations on it. There are even some people who want to go deep into Zhongzhou to find out the truth about the gold mine.

And the part that surfaced in the struggle between the prince and the Zhongzhou warlord behind the scenes also made many people feel that it was exciting and full of ups and downs.Although ordinary people don't know the truth behind it, it doesn't prevent them from talking about the verbal struggle between Chen Zhong and Ji Geng and the confusion of the truth, and their emotions are affected.

Under the guidance of the newspaper reporter, Ji Geng not only knew everything about what happened in the Zhongzhou barracks, but also filled his narrative with real resentment and resentment.This kind of real emotional outpouring actually has a certain effect on the report, so the reporter not only did not abandon these emotions, but modified them suitable for the newspaper media, and then kept most of them and published them in the newspaper.

In this report, Ji Geng also brought out information about many other missing persons.Different from Chen Zhong's selective narrative, Ji Geng's statement brought out more people he had contacted in the Zhongzhou army, including those who were still alive and those who had been "consumed" for various reasons.As a salesman, Ji Geng is quite good at memorizing personnel, after all, this is a necessary skill for businessmen, especially businessmen.

And the days in the Zhongzhou military camp were particularly unforgettable, causing him to have a deep memory of many people he met.Compared with him, Chen Zhong's intelligence advantage is that he can get supplementary intelligence from Zhongzhou at any time about the surviving kidnapped and kidnapped civilians, but the disadvantage is that Chen Zhong himself is not particularly good at communication and slick. , so the people I met in the middle and the information about the characters I got are completely incomparable with Ji Geng.

The news that broke out from Ji Geng's side is obviously more credible and convincing even in the eyes of ordinary people.And some of the people he mentioned in the report—especially those who have passed away, in the eyes of those who really know these people, it is more like a public obituary, which is unbelievable and attracts more attention. There was a storm of commotion and widespread questioning.

The appearance of Ji Geng directly pushed the whole incident to a climax.Although his revelations did not include all the missing lists—after all, the abduction list in Zhongzhou in the past few months has attracted the attention of the prince, and the number of people involved is undoubtedly far beyond the social scope he can contact. But just the list that has been released is enough to attract the attention of all villages and towns in Nanyi Province.

Moreover, the naming of the Xia Kingdom also has a regional style. That is to say, the common people in the same area have a high rate of coincidence of names in the same period. Therefore, sometimes, a specific name may have multiple matching objects, and among them There may be more than one missing person who fits the description, which can make many friends and relatives of people who are not on the list suspicious and uneasy.

Although you may find out afterwards that you are not someone you know, the attention paid by these people will still promote the development and brewing of the whole thing.

So in the following time, the newspaper that published the relevant news and the two parties received the attention of many people in the entire Nanyi Province and even other provinces, and people kept going to the newspaper office or the location of the two to inquire about their relatives.As time passed, in addition to the newspapers, everyone heard more subjective or emotional judgments through many relatives of the missing persons who visited the two.

As time passed, public opinion began to clearly have its own tendency.

Ji Geng's high EQ allowed him to perfectly guide the emotions of many victims' families when he communicated with them, making them willing to become the next link in spreading the news.Coupled with Mr. Ren's teaching and assistance, he even used some tactics and psychological hints during the negotiation process, which unobtrusively affected the other party's thoughts and feelings, and made the other party have a strong reaction to the planner of the whole matter. hatred, and logically remembered the crimes of the Zhongzhou warlords.In contrast, the situation on Chen Zhong's side gradually fell into a disadvantage.The prince's subordinates have never given up their plan to attack Chen Zhong, and to Zhongzhou's staff, Chen Zhong is not a collaborator but just a chess piece, but even a chess piece has its own ideas, which leads to private With the command and coercion of the people behind the scenes, the relationship between Chen Zhong and those who monitored him became more and more turbulent day by day.

However, Chen Zhong was nothing more than an ant to the Zhongzhou warlords. The Zhongzhou warlords had already spent their time trying to threaten and lure him, but they would not further worry about and appease his emotions.

This gave the prince's people an opportunity to take advantage of it.
