Chapter 4680: Crisis PR

"Is it useful?" Lin Rui asked, "If they want to make use of the topic, they will challenge us on this matter. I'm afraid we may get more and more dark."
"So we have to do an active defense and hold a press conference before the problem gets bigger." The actuary Jiangan nodded.
"Hold a press conference?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, and it must be completely suppressed, or it will be overwhelmed by us. No one likes private military companies, the reputation of this industry has long been stinking.
Especially when there is a battle involving mercenaries and civilian casualties, many people will stand up and criticize private military companies like us without even thinking about it.
The Blackwater Company was caught in the center of public opinion because it was involved in civilian casualties in Iraq and had to leave the scene sadly. If we want to prove our innocence, we have to do it ourselves.
And we also need something like this to prove our crisis management capabilities and make the bosses of these private military companies believe us. So as to stand on the same front with us. "The actuary nodded and said.
"Well, I believe you. You are fully responsible for this matter and will be implemented as soon as possible." Lin Rui nodded.
"Actually, the preparatory work has been done, and all aspects are almost the same. I came to you, just to tell you, I hope you will be there in person. This is an opportunity. Since we acquired Trident, we have shown ourselves to our peers and countries Opportunity." The actuary replied Jiangshi.
"You know me better than anyone. I am actually not used to attending such occasions." Lin Rui shook his head.
"I understand, but you must come out this time. If we want to win over more allies and fight against Yinlang Michel in the mercenary alliance, you must stand up. Everyone is watching you." The actuary said in a low voice.
"What do you mean?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Obviously, this is an off-board trick, a battle of public opinion. If we can perform well, we can win more support. If we can't even deal with this crisis, who believes that we can compete with Silver Wolf?" Actuary Jiangan Replied.
Lin Rui nodded, "Then as soon as possible."
A few days later, New Trident Company held a press conference. Lin Rui, Actuary Jiang An and others attended the meeting and directly faced sharp questions raised by a large number of reporters.
"Mr. Rick, I'm from the New York Times. It is said that your company has been involved in a serious scandal recently. I want to hear your opinion on this matter." A female reporter stood up and asked.
"Fake news, this question you asked is too shameful, of course you are very beautiful." Lin Rui shrugged and coughed, "This is just a joke, after all, I haven't been to such occasions.
So yesterday I deliberately took a period of time to watch related videos and learned how to deal with this situation. So I learned two words, fake news, too shameful. Trust me, no one knows press conferences better than me. "
The reporters laughed, knowing that he was joking.
Lin Rui coughed, "But to be honest, this question was very good just now. This is actually the reason why we are holding this press conference today. We hope to clarify and explain some untrue public opinions of our company."
"But Mr. Rick, as far as I know, someone submitted a video file to the United Nations. It contains the content of you taking part in an operation in a certain African country and killing civilians. How do you explain this?" The beautiful reporter Not forgiving.
"It seems that I just use fake news, this is not enough to deal with you. Then there is no way, I can only give you some dry goods. What? You ask me what is dry goods?
Hmm...It means that the content is not mixed with water, and the content is real, please don't blink. Lin Rui waved his hand. A staff member walked up, put down the projector screen, and played the video.
In the video, a group of members of a private military company wearing camouflage uniforms are shooting at a group of people. Afterwards, many black men in civilian clothes fell to the ground and died tragically.
The people who filmed the video also deliberately sent these mercenaries to wear the trident logo on their sleeves. After that, there were many tragic battle scenes. It's really shocking.
"This is what you just said, the so-called evidence video that someone provided to the UN Department of Humanitarian Affairs. It also shows that this is what our company did. But these are all fake." Lin Rui shrugged.
"But this is a real video record, it looks very real." The reporter frowned.
"Movies are also real videos. Superman vs. Batman, Spiderman dangling spider silk between high-rise buildings. It seems that all of them are real and cannot be real. But you won’t believe this is true. Right?" Lin Rui asked back.
"It is true, but what I want to ask is. How do you know this is fake, Mr. Rick?" Another reporter stood up and said, "Someone submitted these videos to the UN Department of Humanitarian Affairs. I don't think This will be fake."
Lin Rui nodded, "It's really unbelievable, but what I want to tell everyone is that all the things on this are fake and pieced together. To illustrate this, we can watch some video clips.
For example, this video clip is exactly the same as the so-called evidence video before. But in fact, this video comes from a Congolese news video in 2004, taken by a French reporter.
I contacted your colleague, and he even kept the original video from that year. Someone cut his video, and secretly changed it to the so-called evidence video.
You can see these two videos. If you take a screenshot, every frame is exactly the same.
As for the shooting footage of armed personnel you have seen, they are from the shooting training subject of our company's 2007 training camp in Virginia.
To put it simply, they intercepted our shooting training videos while also intercepting some videos of black people dying in shooting. The two sides are put together to form the picture you see now. "Lin Rui shrugged and said, "Fortunately, we also have a complete video of this training." "
"So these evidence videos are all fake?" Another reporter asked in surprise.
"Of course it is a fake. Otherwise, the situation is a bit sci-fi. Our company employees shot at a training camp in Virginia, USA in 2007. They killed several black civilians in the Congo in 2004.
The bullets fired during their training not only traversed the entire Atlantic, but also traversed time, killing people a few years ago. This kind of plot can only be found in science fiction movies. "Lin Rui shrugged.
