Chapter 1217 Raptors Crossing the River
Li Mu's refusal without hesitation made Paul Keane finally realize that he was in big trouble this time.
As early as when he was pretending to force Li Mu, Li Mu gave him a reminder that with Paul Keane's strength, he was not qualified to pretend to be in front of Li Mu at all. There was more than a level difference between him and Li Mu, but he preferred Forcibly pretending to be coercive, I didn't expect that Li Mu would bring himself such a big trouble just by responding a little.
Moreover, Paul Keane also realized that he really underestimated the temperament of Li Mu, a Chinese young man. Because of his high social status in the United States, the Chinese people he came into contact with were all too humble, too easy-going, and easy-going. People thought that he had no temper, but after pretending to be forced with Li Mu, he realized that Li Mu was completely different from the Chinese people he came into contact with. Li Mu was a militant like a honey badger. It will definitely bite hard and not let go.
Paul Keane knew that Li Mu couldn't solve it, so he hurriedly started to prepare for it. How could the perfect image he worked hard for his son for more than ten years withstand such a large-scale bombardment of public opinion, it was like a nuclear bomb. , not only has a huge instantaneous strike ability, but also leaves almost permanent radiation effects that cannot be removed.
If you don't think of a way to stop the spread and fermentation of public opinion, the name James Keane will soon become the name of the stinky street in the United States. Once his reputation collapses, then he will also be completely out of line with his successor.
The first thing Paul Keane did was to call all the media leaders related to the family, telling them not to publish any relevant news, and to be ready to help him fight back against public opinion at any time.
However, every media related to the Keene family maintains the same caliber: they can not publish any relevant news for the time being, but the timeliness is very short, and there is no way to do it for 24 hours. Once necessary, they will publish it directly. related news.
As for the request to help him fight back against the public opinion, all the media have clearly expressed their rejection. No one is willing to fight against Li Mu, the entire American society, and the mainstream media for him. Not expressing their position for the time being is the limit of what they can do.
Paul Keane worked anxiously all night, made numerous phone calls, but failed to solve any substantive problems at all. The speed of the spread of public opinion has not weakened. James Keane's infamy has also increased, and the public opinion is still there. Continue to ferment, that unstoppable situation is like a fast-moving heavy-duty train.
After suffering all night, Paul Keane dared not let the public opinion continue to develop like this, so he could only choose to ask the family for help.
However, turning to the family for help is not so easy.
Although Li Mu's appearance was like a powerful computer virus that invaded the Keen family's century-old System,
But it did not put the entire Keene family into a state of emergency against foreign enemies.
This system is not as set by the founders, once the external virus invades, it will fight together, but when the foreign enemy invades, it will spawn two completely different sets of response strategies within it.
A coping strategy is based on Paul Keane, hoping that the entire Keane family can work together to help James deal with this crisis;
Another coping strategy is based on the eldest Todd and the third Edward, hoping to replace James from the position of the core successor through Li Mu's invasion;
People are such a group. Even if there is only one person, there are multiple thoughts entangled and attacking each other in the depths of their hearts, not to mention a group of more than one person. The possibility of everyone being the same enemy is almost zero. .
When Todd received Paul's call for help, he only left him a cold sentence: "Within 24 hours, if you can't handle this, the family will get you!"
Paul knows his brother very well. The standard people don't talk much. If he says 24 hours, he must have only 24 hours. If he says that the family will take care of him, then his end will be ugly.
Paul understands that this crisis can only be carried by himself.
So, in a hurry, he immediately found an old friend who was very good at media public relations, and asked him to help him to write a weighty article as soon as possible to refute Li Mu's content. At that time, he would use his family's media resources to launch a counterattack against Li Mu.
The other party already knew the ins and outs of the matter, and only asked Paul Keane, "What can I use to refute Li Mu's accusation? James's attempt to control 3321, and the fact that you blocked Li Mu's special plane and threatened Li Mu, you want to fight back. He must have enough supporting arguments, otherwise this powerless refutation will only make it worse."
Paul Keane was also suddenly lost.
So what refutes Li Mu's article?
Say he lied, framed, and spit? But I don't have any evidence to support this argument.
Then change the routine, defending his son, saying that he did not try to control 3321 and make a name for it as Li Mu said.
If it can't be refuted, it can only be explained.
So Paul Keane offered his solution, saying, "Our whole argument is to convince everyone that this is all just a misunderstanding!"
The other party's thinking logic seems to be more rigorous than Paul's. He thought about it and said seriously: "Paul, this will contradict itself."
"What's the contradiction?" Paul Keane said in surprise: "Let's just say that Li Mu misunderstood, James is not what he imagined, the reason why James values 3321 too much is just because he hopes too much to pass the 3321 American station and serve the students in the United States. Let's make some contributions!"
The other party smiled helplessly and said, "Paul, you and I are good friends, so I'll just say something."
"Just say it."
The other party paused, and then said seriously: "You still want to kill two birds with one stone at this time, not only to clear your son's responsibilities, but also to re-establish a positive image for your son, not to mention whether the public will accept it, you In Li Mu's eyes, this must be a second provocation, do you know how he will fight back against you?"
Paul Keane was speechless for a while, and the other party said very solemnly: "Paul, you must first distinguish the current situation, now Li Mu is attacking, what you have to do now is not to resist and counterattack, Because you are not Li Mu's opponent at all, and Li Mu's investment ability is comparable to few people in the United States. I believe that when next year's presidential election, Li Mu will become the target of the two major parties. How can you fight back with such a person What counterattack?"
This remark made Paul Keane shudder.
It was only then that he realized that he had been underestimating Li Mu's strength and influence, and when he was about to fight, he realized how powerful the opponent was, so powerful that he had no way to fight back.
At this time, the other party said another sentence, which made Paul Keane fall into an ice cellar.
"Paul, don't forget one more thing. When you stopped Li Mu's plane, you brought a senator with you, but Li Mu said nothing about the senator. It can be seen that Li Mu is extremely smart and has a very good judgment of the situation. Accurate, he only wants to target you now, but he doesn't want to touch American politics, so he didn't mention the senator. If you further anger him, he will definitely expose the senator's affairs. If you let the people of the United States know, you can actually Manipulate the senator to stand for you, and at that time, I am afraid that the Keene family will be dragged into the abyss by you!"
senator……
Thinking of this, Paul Keane's back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
At this time, he realized how stupid he was. In order to pretend to be coercive in front of Li Mu, he took the senator to stop Li Mu's plane. The American people are extremely sensitive to the use of public power. If Li Mu really exposed this matter When you come out, not only will you be finished, but the Keene family will also be finished.
In an instant, Paul Keane completely gave up the idea of confronting Li Mu, and said with fear: "Then this is absolutely not advisable, or we should change to a softer way, not confront Li Mu, just explain Let's just say that James didn't actually have such an intention, it's just some kind of misunderstanding, that's all right?"
The other party sighed and said: "Paul, your statement is illogical, and the people will not accept it. What you need to do now can't just try to defend James, but to make the people believe what you said, otherwise everything will be counterproductive."
Paul Keane said: "Is there any problem with just explaining that it was a misunderstanding?"
"Of course there is a problem!" The other party said seriously: "Because according to normal logic, assuming that his son really did not have any crooked thoughts about 3321, then even if Li Mu was kicked out of this project, there is no need for him to go to the project. Go to your heart, since your son won't take it to heart, then this matter should have ended long after Li Mu kicked him out of 3321, so how do you explain your motive for stopping Li Mu's plane later? This is not a contradiction. ?"
"I..." Only then did Paul Keane realize that going to stop Li Mu's plane by himself was the stupidest thing he had ever done in his life.
At the moment, all possibilities are blocked, and there is still a senator's nuclear bomb that may explode at any time. Paul Keane suddenly lost his mind, so he had to ask the other party: "Johnson, do you have any good ideas? Or advice?"
The other party thought about it and said, "There is only one solution to this matter, that is, you and your son can only protect one, and the other one must stand up and admit all Li Mu's accusations, and to be honest, you and your son Here, you are best suited to stand up and take on everything.”
Paul Keane asked subconsciously, "Why?"
The other party said: "Because it was you who escalated the incident, Li Mu kicked James out of 3321, and James himself did not respond. This is more beneficial to James, and you stopped Li Mu's plane and threatened Li Mu, the fact that It can't be denied, so the best solution for this is that you stand up and admit your mistake and apologize, and then use the 'misunderstanding' to excuse James."
Paul Keane's bowels twitched in remorse. He thought he was bullying a foreigner who had no roots in the United States. He didn't expect that he was a raptor crossing the river, and he was still very strong when he traveled across the ocean. now...
