Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

The British ghosts have been the local emperors in Hong Kong for nearly a hundred years, during which time they have plundered countless resources and wealth.

Now, their good days will soon be gone forever.

Victory in foreign naval battles was only the last gasp of this declining empire.

The prosperity brought to the domestic commercial market was short-lived.

The so-called "victory in the war" highlights the sunset of Britain, the old empire.

It also exposed a fatal problem.

England is totally screwed.

It’s more like a pyrrhic victory than a victory.

If it were not for the arms embargo led by the United States in the West, it would be hard to tell who would win or lose.

Even so, Britain was unwilling to give up easily.

Nor will they hand over to Longguo a port city with a good economy and people living and working in peace and contentment.

The cabinet has made a decision to deploy the Troublemaker Plan.

Even if we cannot bring the Hong Kong city's economy back on track, we must make the Hong Kong city's people and wealthy people alienate themselves from the Dragon Kingdom.

"Comrade Kaifeng, their despicableness is far beyond our imagination. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

The next day at noon, Lin Kaifeng was urgently called to Zhang Yuzhou's office to work.

There were more than a dozen newspapers from different newspaper companies on the table.

The contents of the newspapers are surprisingly similar.

Together they slandered and framed Lin Kaifeng's personal reputation.

Lin Kaifeng appears to be a business tycoon, but in reality he is a romantic villain.

At the same time, he maintained improper relationships with hundreds of women and had more than fifty illegitimate children.

Using coercion and bribery to forcibly rob decent women...

There are countless examples like this.

A modern version of Ximen Daguanren.

When it comes to spreading rumors, other Hong Kong newspapers are no less capable.

One of them even found proof.

It proves that Lin Kaifeng’s business activities in Hong Kong City are aimed at controlling the economic lifeline of Hong Kong City.

Through the continuous injection of funds from the mainland, Lin Kaifeng's Northern Machinery Group will gradually control the port city's vital industries, including water, electricity, food, transportation, and shipping.

Afterwards, prices in these industries were raised across the board, plundering wealth from the people of the port city.

The purpose of acquiring the TV station is not to conduct commercial operations, but to use the TV station to brainwash the local people.

Lin Kaifeng read the smear campaigns against himself in various newspapers with great interest and couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Yuzhou said with a worried look on his face: "Comrade Kaifeng, how can you still laugh? If you don't fight back immediately, your reputation will be completely ruined."

"These unscrupulous newspapers are accustomed to fabricating rumors and slandering celebrities, and increasing their newspaper sales through various alarmist statements."

"You have never dealt with them, so you don't know that these people have no bottom line when it comes to what they do. Especially these newspapers, they are simply experts in spreading rumors."

"They employ a large number of lawyers who specialize in responding to complaints from celebrities. These newspapers are not only not afraid of being sued by rumormongers, but they welcome them with open arms. The bigger the incident, the greater the influence of the rumor."

Zhang Yuzhou has worked in Hong Kong for more than ten years and is well aware of the nature of these unscrupulous newspapers.

Taking legal action against them will not only be ineffective, but will only make the situation worse.

Even the Hong Kong authorities are sometimes helpless in dealing with these people.

After talking about the shameless bottom line of the newspaper, Zhang Yuzhou reminded: "In just one night, more than a dozen notorious and unscrupulous newspapers collectively framed you. There must be someone behind the scenes organizing this."

"This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the public's words will be so destructive that you can't clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River."

Zhang Yuzhou had already sensed that this incident must have been instigated by the British intelligence department.

Otherwise, the actions of more than a dozen newspapers would not be so unified.

Together they framed Lin Kaifeng.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "This incident is both a public opinion crisis and a great opportunity."

"Great opportunity?"

Zhang Yuzhou was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "Do you have a way to turn a bad thing into a good thing?"

"Just as you said, the mastermind behind this must be the foreign intelligence agency. The better my group develops in Hong Kong City, the greater its influence on ordinary citizens will be."

"The foreigners will not hand over an entire port city to us, nor will they allow the Northern Machinery Group to disrupt their mine-laying plan."

Northern Machinery Group has a certain degree of state-owned background.

As Lin Kaifeng becomes a well-known entrepreneur in Hong Kong, his corporate image will inevitably influence citizens' impression of the mainland.

This is exactly contrary to the foreigners' plan to alienate them.

It would be strange if we don't deal with Lin Kaifeng.

Zhang Yuzhou said without comment: "Tell me your solution."

“Fight evil with evil.”

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "The foreigners don't follow the ethics of martial arts, so there's no need for me to follow the ethics of martial arts with them. As the saying goes, evil needs evil to defeat evil, and we should use evil to fight evil."

"Use evil to fight evil?"

Zhang Yuzhou muttered to himself for a few words, then suddenly became interested and said hurriedly, "Tell me in detail what it means for evil people to fight against evil people?"

"How can I help you?"

"President Zhang, we should do this..."

Having said that, Lin Kaifeng closed the office door.

He repeated the response plan that he had already thought of word for word.

Long time ago, Lin Kaifeng had anticipated a head-on conflict with the foreigners.

Britain will not allow Northern Machinery Group to gain a foothold in the port city.

They would not allow Lin Kaifeng to get his hands on the foreigners' core industries in Hong Kong.

Previously, the appearance of the Machinery Group’s products on the Hong Kong market would not pose a direct threat to Britain.

After all, commodities are just commodities.

But behind a product, there are countless profits and influences involved.

The outcome of things would be different.

The first batch of Tiangong mobile phones only attracted the attention of Hong Kong citizens.

It did not cause much sales frenzy.

As Lin Kaifeng established a telecommunications company in the United States and built a large number of communication base stations, the foreigners would inevitably become uneasy.

The United States is not only a weather vane of capital, but also a synonym for technology.

Tiangong mobile phones are selling like hot cakes in the United States, and the positive impact will sweep across Hong Kong.

Further stimulate the craze for buying mobile phones among Hong Kong citizens.

The initial price of the mobile phone in Hong Kong City is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Except for a small number of wealthy people and white-collar elites, most citizens cannot afford it.

Lin Kaifeng has decided to promote installment payments in Hong Kong and the city simultaneously.

The number of citizens who purchase Tiangong mobile phones will also increase.

The communications field will soon be controlled by Lin Kaifeng.

Lin Kaifeng also acquired ATV TV station in full.

The fields of communications and media are all occupied by Lin Kaifeng.

How can the foreigners not be anxious?

Also not long ago, Lin Kaifeng revealed his intention to acquire Gangcheng Electric Power Company.

There are two power companies in Hong Kong, which fully control the power supply business in Hong Kong.

Controlling the electric power enterprises is equivalent to controlling half of the port city’s economy.

Communications, media, electricity.

The three core industries of Hong Kong City fell into Lin Kaifeng's hands at the same time. This move made the foreigners more uncomfortable than digging up their ancestral graves.
