Chapter 91: Blacklisted on the Internet
Wei Ming's decision to make a "support statement" was actually opposed by many executives.
Pu Weicai, in particular, firmly expressed his opposition and almost had a quarrel.
Because of such a high profile, especially saying that the EUV lithography machine will be built "within this year", it will immediately trigger a foreign embargo, and high-precision parts will not be available immediately.
Isn't this a proactive death?
At this critical moment, we must be low-key, low-key, and low-key. How can we stand out and be the first bird to stand out?
"Don't worry about the parts problem."
Wei Ming had to say: "This month, I will give your "lithography machine R&D department" 40 pot cover lenses, and some parts that cannot be imported will also be solved for you. Believe me, the parts issue will definitely not hold us back."
"Besides, our company has been established for a while, and the total number of employees will soon exceed 5,000, but so far, our company has no reputation at all, and others don't know what our company does. We need to promote ourselves, otherwise when the product is made, it will be too late to promote it."
Why not seize this opportunity and promote it well.
Wei Ming said a lot of words, and only then did he barely convince Pu Weicai.
So, how was the effect of the publicity?
Very good.
Immediate results!
In just one or two days, the announcement "Black Hole Technology Company will build EUV lithography machine this year!" attracted at least tens of millions of clicks, hundreds of thousands of reposts and discussions.
In particular, the sentence in the announcement "All key technical problems have been solved, EUV will definitely be built this year, and the first one is willing to be supplied to Longyao Company first" made countless netizens excited, cheering loudly and expressing great expectations.
The name of Black Hole Technology Company has officially entered the public eye.
The several digital circle writers invited have good writing skills, and the following soft articles have continued to work hard, which has brought Black Hole Technology's reputation to a new level.
But the Internet is a thing that helps people a lot, and sometimes the backlash is also very great.
Black Hole Technology, a new technology company, has not been popular for two days, and negative comments have begun to overwhelm positive ones. Questions and ridicules quickly became overwhelming, and the speed of being smeared was much faster than turning popular.
"Heh, you clown."
"Any random person dares to jump out and take advantage of the popularity. Is there no one to take care of this matter?"
"A new company that has been established for only half a year has produced EUV within this year? Who would believe such a joke? A survey shows that the number of people with bachelor's degrees or above in China is less than 100 million, and the number of people with less than high school diplomas is more than 900 million. It is said that this kind of people like to watch what they like and believe what they want to believe. They have almost no scientific judgment. Sadly, they occupy the absolute mainstream, which is why the Internet is so chaotic."
"It is a myth to produce EUV within a year. Only fools believe such news."
"Is the cost of spreading rumors so low now? Do you not have to pay legal responsibility for bragging without bottom line?"
"A garbage company that takes advantage of the popularity , don't believe it! Don't click on this kind of related news, stay away from garbage, start with me"
"I am an employee of Longyao Company. We have had some difficulties recently, but we can still survive. A certain company that supports our Longyao, we appreciate the good intentions, but please don't do this kind of thing again, okay? Technology depends on being down-to-earth, not relying on popularity. "
"General Manager Yu also responded on Weibo: Thank you for the concern of friendly companies, everything is fine, there is no shortage of lithography machines, and don't over-hype. Hahaha, this is telling Black Hole Technology to stop being self-indulgent. They should keep the EUV they made for themselves. "
"Boasting and lying without any IQ, what a three-year-old child believes? "
"..."
Of course, among the massive negative comments, there are still a few sporadic messages speaking for Black Hole Technology.
"It's great that Black Hole Technology has such ambition. Other companies can't even publicly say 'support Longyao'. Why do you mock this company?"
"I am an employee of Black Hole Technology. Our company's benefits are really good. We are also really developing lithography machines. We are not a deceptive company."
"Our boss is a young handsome guy. He speaks a little too loudly, but our attitude is serious. We are not just trying to get attention."
These few messages were naturally treated as cyberbullying and were scolded by netizens.
...
On the afternoon of June 5.
A B station up master named "Chen Bolun" released a video exposing Black Hole Technology Company, which is just a shell company extended from Black Hole Real Estate Company. In essence, it is a real estate company that promotes itself by selling dog meat under the guise of sheep. It is just a real estate developer who wants to make dirty money.
Boom~
This video quickly broke through a million hits and spread widely.
No one verified the confusing part of this video.
Only after confirming that there is such a company as "Black Hole Real Estate".
No one on the Internet dares to speak for Black Hole Technology anymore.
The whole Internet is black.
This is the so-called whole Internet black.
When it comes to Black Hole Technology, people only have disdain and disgust, rude words, and even greet family members and escalate to personal attacks.
…
In the evening.
In the city, in a quiet high-end restaurant.
A loud shout came, causing other diners in the restaurant to stop eating and look up.
"How could it be like this?"
Wei Ming quickly looked through the comments on his phone. Among the 100 comments, 99 were against Black Hole Technology. Not one of them said anything good about his company, so he had to cover his eyes and let out a miserable howl.
Obviously two days ago, there was still a lot of praise!
Why does the public opinion situation change so quickly?
What about those who liked and retweeted it two days ago? Did they all dive and disappear, or are they the same group of people who are now criticizing black hole technology?
It is indeed an exaggeration to build an EUV lithography machine within this year, but it does not mean that black hole technology will definitely not be able to do it. EUV will definitely be available as soon as this year or next year as slowly as possible.
Why are netizens unwilling to wait for the results, so they can't wait to criticize and ridicule? Don't they even have the patience to wait until the end of the year?
He really couldn't understand it.
"Keep your voice down."
Xu Chuxia, who was sitting opposite, frowned, put the small spoon back into the whitebait soup, and whispered: "Not everyone can come in this place. You need the recommendation of three or more members to become a new member here. You are the first Don’t leave a bad impression once you come here.”
"You didn't see the comments above."
Wei Ming handed the phone to her: "It has everything sprayed on it. You will definitely be annoyed after seeing it!"
"You are eating, what are you doing looking at these things? In two days, the Internet popularity will disappear. Who will remember your black hole technology? You are struggling with this kind of issue, and you say you are bored? If it doesn't work, say hello to my aunt, No one will hack you tomorrow."
Xu Chuxia said calmly, looking at the problem very sharply.
"I know~"
Wei Ming shook his head, with no appetite, and still couldn't let go: "The memory of netizens is short. They will forget my company in a few days, but the memory of the Internet is very long. Once the label of 'liar' is Once you have it, until you prove that you are not a liar, this label will probably remain on your head. No matter how you explain it in words, netizens just don’t trust you, and they are subconsciously prejudiced against you and ridiculing you.”
"Hey, this is what the old saying goes: Everyone is wrong about me!"
Wei Ming lay back on the chair, raising his head with grief and anger on his face.
Phew~
Xu Chuxia squirted out.
Whitebait soup sprayed everywhere.
She really couldn't help it. Isn't it a famous saying of Liu Chan, the Empress of Shu, "Everyone in the world looks at me wrongly"? He actually used it here. Did he want to laugh her to death?
If she hadn't considered the dining environment here, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I made a decision!"
But Wei Ming said firmly: "We don't have to wait until the end of the year. I will build the EUV lithography machine as quickly as possible to prove to everyone the strength of black hole technology! We will make those who want to hack us invincible." Black! Shut up."
