Ding Yue asked.
"Mr. Ding, if your Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles want to enter our Arican market, it’s actually quite simple. All you need to do is comply with the rules for uploading data from the smart vehicle system."
Mrs. Smith said.
"What?"
Ding Yue was taken aback upon hearing this.
Data uploading from the smart vehicle system?
This was blatantly obvious—it was nothing less than demanding that the Feiyue Group and its Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles "kneel down" to Arica.
Such private information from the smart vehicle system, how could it be easily handed over to Arica?
If they really agreed to this, it is likely that both the Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles and the Feiyue Group would be despised by all netizens in Xia Country, and they might even bear an eternal stigma.
Ding Yue was not so foolish, and he was not a bootlicker for Arica, how could he possibly agree to this condition laid out by Arica? Besides, from the beginning, Ding Yue had no intention of agreeing; he only wanted to hear what Mrs. Smith had to say about the rules set by Arica, and now it seed, Arica was still as shaless as ever.
"Mr. Ding, all you need to do is to upload the data from your Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles to our Arican servers when the ti cos. It’s that simple, then you can have the freedom to enter the Arican market. Moreover, you certainly know the influence Arica has. Once you’ve entered, opening the door to the overseas market wouldn’t be all that hard," said Mrs. Smith.
Her words sounded as if Arica was "great."
In reality, isn’t it just Arica conspiring with Europe to sanction the chips for our Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles?
"Impossible!"
Ding Yue responded decisively to Mrs. Smith.
Following that, Ding Yue simply hung up the phone, unwilling to continue the pointless argunts with the shaless folks from Arica.
"Principal Ding, you..."
Wen Ruohan widened her eyes in shock: "You... you just hung up on the White Palace like that?"
Wen Ruohan had never seen soone hang up directly on a call from the White Palace like that.
"What else?"
Ding Yue shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Would you have continue to talk nonsense with that shaless bunch from the White Palace?"
"Principal Ding, what did the White Palace say?"
Wen Ruohan asked curiously.
Ding Yue knew that his secretary, Wen Ruohan, was just a curious baby.
However, this matter would probably create a big buzz on the internet soon, so there was no harm in sharing.
"The person calling was Mrs. Smith from the White Palace, quite a character indeed. I didn’t know that I could attract the attention of the White Palace’s Mrs. Smith. Their intention was to let our Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles upload the smart vehicle data, and then we could have the freedom to sell in overseas markets."
Ding Yue explained to his secretary Wen Ruohan.
"What? Damn, Arica is too shaless!"
Wen Ruohan exclaid, even using the interjection "Damn".
"Haha, Arica has been shaless not just today or yesterday; in the past, they’ve also used such ans against our Xia Country businesses," said Ding Yue with a shrug.
What Ding Yue was referring to were the tis, years ago, when Xia Country businesses had also been targeted by Arica, so of which had stood firm while others capitulated too quickly.
"Principal Ding, we must not give in!"
Wen Ruohan quickly reminded Principal Ding.
If they really bowed to Arica, from now on, both Mist City Arts and Science University and the Feiyue Group might not be able to survive in Xia Country.
Ding Yue naturally wasn’t so naive. With a calm smile, he said, "Otherwise, why do you think I hung up the phone call from the White Palace so quickly?"
Sure enough, while Ding Yue was still discussing this matter with his secretary Wen Ruohan, news about Arica demanding Xia Country’s Feiyue Group to upload vehicular smart data had already appeared on Xia Country’s internet.
However, the content of the news seed sowhat different from the truth.
On Xia Country’s social dia, so news outlets were reporting that Feiyue Group was negotiating with Arica regarding the upload of vehicular smart data in exchange for the sales freedom of Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles in the overseas market.
The fact that this matter was so quickly spread online, reported by the dia, and even distorted, clearly showed that Arica also did this intentionally, aiming to put pressure on Feiyue Group once again.
"What? How could Feiyue Group do this?"
"Their knees are too soft."
"They just kneeled like that?"
"Feiyue Group must stand strong. The Feiyue Future New Energy vehicle is the glory of our dostic cars, they absolutely cannot fall like this."
"Ah, under the pressure of Arica, another rising dostic brand just falls like that?"
"Is this the rhythm of kneeling to Arica again?"
"Arica has used such thods to ss with so many of our Xia Country’s companies before, it’s really shaless."
"Can’t believe Feiyue Group would do this? What is there to discuss? We would rather give up the overseas market than kneel to Arica!"
"I wonder when we will be able to make Arica kneel to us?"
Due to the news dia leading the narrative astray, netizens believed that Feiyue Group was preparing to, or had already, kneeled to Arica, causing many netizens to start criticizing Feiyue Group and even going as far as to revoke the "nationality" of Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles.
Of course.
There were also so rational netizens who noticed the inaccuracies in the news reports, since at this ti Feiyue Group hadn’t said anything yet, and they also discovered that Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles were still being boycotted and chip-sanctioned in the overseas market, which indicated that Feiyue Group had not bowed or kneeled to Arica.
By the afternoon of the sa day, as the pace on the internet grew larger and the heat increased, Ding Yue also beca aware of this issue.
Imdiately after learning about it, Ding Yue once again outright denounced Arica as shaless.
"Principal Ding, should we respond and clarify?"
Secretary Wen Ruohan hurriedly asked Principal Ding.
"Of course, we need to."
Ding Yue spread his hands and said, "Didn’t you see these dia outlets, how desperately they are leading the narrative? If there’s anyone acting like a lapdog to Arica, I think it’s these dia outlets more than anyone else."
As Ding Yue said, on Twitter, indeed there were so dia outlets that were leading narratives for traffic, and like the netizens said, they were spineless but well hidden.
"Xiao Wen, go and call Director Huang over, we must teach these narrative-leading dia a lesson today."
What Ding Yue was contemplating wasn’t exactly about how to properly handle the PR for this situation, but rather he was thinking about setting these narrative-leading dia straight today.
"Okay, but Principal Ding, how should we clarify and respond?" Wen Ruohan nodded and then asked.
"Didn’t I just speak on the phone with Mrs. Smith from the White Palace? Just releasing the recording of the call would suffice," Ding Yue said with a smile.
"Right!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan suddenly realized.
By releasing the recording of the call Principal Ding had with Mrs. Smith from the White Palace, the dostic netizens would instantly know the stance of Principal Ding and Feiyue Group, wouldn’t they?
Isn’t this much better than issuing an official statent for clarification?
After all, after releasing an official statent, the netizens who had been led by the narrative might not choose to believe it, but when the call recording is played and they hear it with their own ears, they will definitely believe in the unyielding spirit of Feiyue Group under the harsh pressure from Arica!
Thus, Wen Ruohan quickly went according to Principal Ding’s instructions to contact the publicity departnt of Mist City Arts and Science University to handle this matter.
