Chapter 45 Let the Bullets Fly

"Who is Chen Yuanguang?" Bill Gates' Twitter is operated by the Gates Foundation, and he himself rarely logs in to check it out.

When the Gates Foundation's operations staff saw so many Chinese people commenting below and that the pictures they posted all mentioned a person named Chen Yuanguang, they began to report it upwards.

The feedback went all the way to the marketing director of the Gates Foundation. "Yuanguang Chen? I've never heard of this person, but I'll still give him a call and ask."

He called around and asked, but no one had heard of it. Since no one had heard of it, he just didn't reply.

Most of the content on Bill Gates' verified Twitter account is about promoting his philanthropy, with very few personal comments.

From the perspective of the Gates Foundation, such remarks should simply be ignored.

If this really happened, they would not respond using Bill Gates' account, but would issue a statement through the Gates Foundation.

Kate is a staff member of the marketing department of the Gates Foundation. The boss was unwilling to respond, but he did not want to miss out on this popularity. You know, popularity on Twitter can be turned into money.

There are so many people in China, and as an operator, Bill Gates is very clear about how many Chinese people have left messages under him.

"My boss and the senior manager didn't reply. They looked down on this little traffic. I can reply with my personal account. I remember that my personal account was certified by the enterprise."

The views on Twitter can be exchanged for money. When your number of fans reaches a certain level, Twitter will calculate your views every month and pay you.

It is like Lao Hu in the future who loses money every day from stock trading, but the traffic he gets from stock trading, which is converted into money by Weibo, is more than enough to cover ten times his losses.

Kate directly forwarded a comment from a Chinese netizen with the most likes:

"We have not heard of any news about the recruitment of this person, and there is no news about the $500 million coming from any source."

Kate watched as the comments and likes under her repost quickly exceeded a thousand, and two hours later the number of likes exceeded ten thousand. She felt so happy that she ate her rice happily.

Since Kate's work unit has been verified, Chinese netizens were quickly excited. The staff of the Gates Foundation confirmed that there was no such news and Chen Yuanguang was still directing and acting in his own story.

Previously, comments under Chen Yuanguang’s Weibo posts were mostly questioning, but now they have all turned into insults.

The entire comment section was filled with news saying that he was overestimating his own abilities and was a boaster.

When he woke up the next day, he found all the missed calls, "Hey, Mom, don't worry, if this is true, I wouldn't say it's nonsense.

The invitation letter from the Gates Foundation is still in my mailbox, and I still have a handwritten invitation letter from Gates in my office drawer at MIT.

Don’t worry.”

"It's okay, I'll clarify."

Only then did Chen Yuanguang know what had happened yesterday.

Lin Jia asked in bewilderment, "Yuan Guang, what happened?"

Chen Yuanguang first opened Weibo, then clicked on a marketing account's summary of the whole story, and handed it to Lin Jia: "Here, take a look."

Lin Jia took a look and said, "Ah? The staff of the Gates Foundation came out and said that this is not the case?
Bill Gates himself or the official account of the Gates Foundation has not responded, right? "

Chen Yuanguang nodded: "They didn't respond." Lin Jia suddenly woke up: "Did Tencent call?
This might be an opportunity. Are you sure you have kept the evidence?"

Chen Yuanguang said: "There are both email and paper invitation letters. When Trevor came to see me for the second time, he brought an invitation letter signed by Bill Gates himself to show his sincerity."

Lin Jia stood up and took Chen Yuanguang's phone, glanced at the missed call, and sneered: "The Tencent is anxious, this is a good opportunity."

Chen Yuanguang was puzzled, "Huh?"

Lin Jia said, “Call Jenny back and tell her that you are arrogant, and then see what she says.”

Chen Yuanguang understood a little bit. He took the phone and called Jenny back. There was not even a "beep" before the other party answered the call.

"Yuan Guang, what's going on with the Weibo post? The Gates Foundation has already responded to you. This incident is likely to have a huge negative impact on the release of Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2.

Have you thought about how to deal with it? Do you want us to write an apology for you? Tencent's crisis public relations team has prepared it. I'll send it to you first. Take a look. If you think it's okay, send it as soon as possible. We have to seize this golden 24 hours."

Jenny was obviously anxious, and Chen Yuanguang then remembered that Due to the virus epidemic, Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2, which was originally scheduled to be released this summer, has been postponed to the end of the year.

Because the promotion of the first part of Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur made him one of the promotional highlights, and he is indeed the original author and special consultant, so his current negative public opinion will seriously affect the release of Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2.

Because the speaker was on, Lin Jia handed his phone screen to Chen Yuanguang, then poked him with his hand and mouthed: Say as I write.

Chen Yuanguang remained silent because he was looking at the words typed on Lin Jia's screen. When Jenny saw that Chen Yuanguang didn't speak, she became anxious:

"Yuan Guang, are you listening? Now is not the time to be angry. The golden eight hours for public relations are running out.

Don't refuse to apologize just to save face. This matter has become a public opinion crisis and it will seriously affect your personal reputation."

Chen Yuanguang then replied slowly: "Jenny, I wrote this to refute the rumor circulating on Weibo about my cooperation with Zhifei Biological, to save retail investors and prevent them from being deceived by the essay and becoming leeks.

I didn’t do anything wrong. At most, you can say I meant well but ended up doing something bad.”

When Jenny heard this, she knew it was over. The other party was young and hot-tempered and didn't want to apologize, but the problem was that she couldn't get away with it by pretending to be dead. First, she offended the capital, and then Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2 would be released during the Lunar New Year holiday at the end of the year, with a bunch of competitors waiting for it. This matter would definitely be blamed on many occasions.

"Yuan Guang, this will seriously affect your personal image." Jenny still didn't give up.

Chen Yuanguang said calmly: "Jenny, you forgot that I am a scientist. I did not agree to your initial proposal to make me an IP. It was just that my joining the Gates Foundation was exposed by the other party. The Nature and Science I published were not exposed, and my contributions to scientific research were not exposed.

This will not affect my joining any top university in China as a professor."

After hearing this, Jenny felt very angry.

Before she could finish her words, Lin Jia snatched the phone from Chen Yuanguang and pressed the hang-up button.

"Hmph, old woman, just load it and let the bullet fly for a while." Lin Jia's face was full of contempt.

Chen Yuanguang looked at the other person, trying to wait for her to speak.
