Call the police?

Not only Shi Zhiquan, but all the reporters present were stunned. For Qu Tao to do this, his attitude is too tough, right? Shouldn't they be humming, asking questions, and then secretly stuffing everyone with a red envelope to seal the matter? On the cusp of this kind of crisis, why do they call the police?

According to Liu Shuo, Huang Yanling and others' prior thoughts, it was almost as small as the reporters expected. Although Qu Tao is already a big company, Liu Shuo and others still have some instinctive timidity in front of reporters and officials. It is not that Qu Tao has never been interviewed by reporters in the past, but they were all invited to make soft advertisements for Qu Tao's praises. According to the advertising slogan of later generations, it means that he is good...and I am also good.

But this time it was different. Among the reporters who came to interview, at least half of them got hints from Kusela’s public relations company, and the other half also came here with the mentality of "bad news is a cash cow". . Liu Shuo and the others really don't have much experience in how to deal with such reporters.

Qin Haiyuan was in Anhe, so he couldn't rush over to help deal with it. What's more, it was not suitable for him to come forward at this time, so as not to give people a guilty conscience. After a comprehensive analysis of the current situation, Qin Hai gave Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling several instructions over the phone, including denying all rumors related to Chaosai, and taking tough measures against aggressive reporters with ulterior motives.

Huang Yanling's assistant picked up the phone, quickly dialed a number, and whispered something into the phone. In less than a minute, several police officers appeared at the door of the meeting room.

"Mr. Huang, what's the situation?" A leading policeman stepped forward and asked Huang Yanling.

Huang Yanling briefly explained what happened, and then played a short section of the recording. The policeman nodded, took the tape recorder, turned around and asked sharply, "Who is Shi Zhiquan!"

Shi Zhiquan was already stupid. From the speed at which the police appeared, he could already tell that Qu Tao was fully prepared, waiting for him to jump into the pit. Nima, when will the Chinese police be equipped with rockets and be able to appear on the scene within a minute of receiving the police? This is clearly because they have been hiding behind the scenes for a long time, and they just waited for Huang Yanling to throw a cup as a sign, and rushed forward, trying to chop him, a traitor, into dog meat.

The police didn't need to wait for Shi Zhiquan to register himself. From the eyes of everyone, he had already found Shi Zhiquan accurately. He stepped forward and ordered in a deep voice, "You...will you come with us?"

"Why! Why are you arresting me?" Shi Zhiquan's voice trembled a little. His courage was actually not as bold as he had shown before. To put it bluntly, it's just that he was used to bullying all kinds of soft persimmons before, so he was used to being unrestrained. When he really met a tyrannical one, he immediately showed his original shape.

The policeman shook the tape recorder in his hand and said, "Quwu Ceramics Group reported to the police that someone maliciously disseminated remarks that slandered the company's image in public. I have the evidence they submitted. We have the right to take measures against rumormongers. "

"I'm not spreading rumors, I have evidence!" Shi Zhiquan shouted.

The police said indifferently: "We just ask you to cooperate with the investigation. Whether it is a fact or a rumor can only be concluded after the investigation. If you have evidence, you can submit it to us during the investigation. However, if your evidence itself is still a rumor , then one more crime will be added to your crime: providing perjury to the public security department.”

"No, I'm a reporter, you can't treat me like this." Shi Zhiquan continued to struggle, while offering help to other colleagues.

Journalists in the mid-1990s were not as arrogant as they were in the new century. The situation in developed areas was better back then. In many provinces in the central and western regions, government officials and entrepreneurs really had little awareness of the legal system. It may be uncommon to use the police to arrest reporters, but it is not uncommon to find someone to sap a reporter. Under such circumstances, those who dare to stand up and support Shi Zhiquan are rare.

"Mr. Huang, Mr. Liu, it's inappropriate for you to treat reporters like this?"

Finally, a reporter stood up. He was somewhat related to the tabloid that Shi Zhiquan worked for. Seeing his colleagues suffering, he felt that it was inappropriate to keep silent, so he bit the bullet and spoke. However, there is a bit of humility in his attitude, which is the rhythm of obviously not wanting to swim too deep in the muddy water.

Hearing someone speak, Huang Yanling's face immediately returned to its previous softness. She smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, please rest assured that we, Qu Tao, have always respected the media people who adhere to journalistic ethics and are enthusiastic about speaking for the development of the enterprise. Yes, Reporter Qian and Reporter Zhao present here have cooperated with us for many years, and the cooperation is also very pleasant. However, if some media are instructed by others to turn black and white and tarnish the reputation of our company, we will not accept it. We will compromise. We are a law-abiding company, and we will not use illegal means to treat journalists like some companies, but we will insist on legal channels and bring the reporters who spread rumors to justice. We believe that our country is a A country ruled by law will not allow individual media to blackmail companies with rumors."

These words were impeccable, and all the attitudes that should be expressed were expressed. This is also the caliber that Qin Hai helped Qu Tao draw up in advance: Either stand on our side or stand on the side of the rumormongers, Qu Tao is not easy to bully.

While Huang Yanling said these words, several policemen were already taking measures against Shi Zhiquan. Shi Zhiquan deliberately stayed still in his seat, two policemen stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, easily picked him up, and dragged him out of the venue backwards.

"You..." A young reporter couldn't stand it any longer. As soon as he moved, he planned to stand up and protest.

"Xiao Hao!" The old reporter sitting next to him quickly grabbed him. The young reporter was an intern under his guidance. He couldn't watch the students jump into the pit.

"Teacher Wang, they are arresting reporters!" the young reporter whispered.

The old reporter known as Mr. Wang also lowered his voice and said, "He has evidence, so if he is arrested, he will be arrested. What are you going to do? You don't know the reason for shooting the first bird?"

"They don't dare to treat us like this? We are also state media after all." The young reporter said angrily. Compared with Shi Zhiquan, the media he and the old reporter work for are much more powerful, and they can walk sideways on various occasions.

The old reporter reprimanded: "Do you think the national media is great? Do you know who is behind Qu Tao?"

"Who is it?" The young reporter didn't realize it all at once.

"Daqin Group, Qin Hai, don't you know?" the old reporter said.

"Qin Hai...isn't he the young entrepreneur? What can he do to us?" As a reporter who is on the financial side, how could he not know about Qin Hai? It's just that the young reporter doesn't have enough experience and doesn't know much about the energy behind Qin Hai.

The old reporter whispered a few names in the young reporter's ear, and then saw the young reporter's eyes showing timidity.

"Is he Mr. Ji's guest?" The young reporter asked uncertainly.

"Do you understand now?" The old reporter snorted and said.

The status of Mr. Ji in the country is well-known. If Qin Hai has Mr. Ji as his backer, it might not be appropriate to bully men and women on the street, but it should be easy to deal with one or two reporters in the national media. Although the young reporter has some self-righteousness, he can still be clear about this kind of matter. It seems a bit unworthy to put myself in for a tabloid colleague.

Similar conversations and psychological activities occur in all journalists. Before seeing Qu Tao's tough tactics, everyone still had some naive thoughts, thinking that the company should have a certain respect for the media, and even the Daqin Group behind Qu Tao had to give the media some face. But now seeing that Huang Yanling turned her back when she said to turn her back, everyone's heart began to beat.

Everyone understands that a local turtle company like Qutao cannot use legal means to confront the media. If they hire a few burly men to wander outside the reporter's residence, everyone will feel that it is more real. Hearing Huang Yanling's words and laws, any reporter with a little brain can figure out that this is a strategy set by the Daqin Group, and the instigator must be Qin Hai.

Bullying and bullying Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling, everyone has no psychological pressure. Bully Qin Hai directly... Come on, such a mindless reporter has long been cleared out of the press.

The press conference ended in a depressing atmosphere. Huang Yanling enthusiastically extended an invitation to everyone to have lunch. As a result, only three or five media reporters readily accepted, while the others politely declined. My colleague was just arrested by the police, if I had a good time with him again, wouldn't I become a scum in the reporter circle?

Of course, everyone has more envy than hatred for those colleagues who have the courage to stay and be scum. Everyone understands the reason.

Wang Peichao, who was far away in Changgu, also heard the news at the press conference. He was a little surprised that Qu Tao denied that Chaosai Company had stolen his technology. He also heard about Tang Honghui's resignation from other people, but all his calls to Tang Honghui were cut off, so that he still doesn't know what happened to Tang Honghui.

Tang Honghui has been exposed, this is what Wang Peichao can guess. But Tang Honghui, who committed the crime, was not held accountable, which made Wang Peichao puzzled. The more so, the more panicked he was. Facing a Qin Hai who never plays cards according to common sense, who knows what cruel trick he will pull out next moment.

Just when Wang Peichao was fidgeting, another unexpected news came:

Takehiko Takamura arrived in Changgu and asked to meet and talk with Wang Peichao.
