A whale falls, and ten thousand things come to life.
As Meng Hao and his newly established Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises faced platform scrutiny and a brewing storm of public opinion online, the image of Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises, painstakingly built by Qín Mùyān as a private enterprise, was once again questioned and thrust into the spotlight.
Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises is leeching off military traffic!
Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises is being banned for violations!
Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises' live-streaming channel has been called out by the official Bilibili!
Suddenly, Meng Hao and his Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises, which he founded, had broken out from the niche circle of hardcore military fans and entered the public consciousness.
Capitalizing on this wave of criticism, Bilibili attracted a massive surge of traffic once again.
Indeed.
They managed to grab public attention and a boost in traffic, and they also planned to shut down Qín Mùyān's live stream and freeze tens of millions in prepayments!
Uncle Chén Jūntài's strategic move was a complete win.
Of course,
Even happier were the unscrupulous businessmen led by Dǒng Jiàn, who, riding the wave of Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises' mechs, had managed to create a concept module for mechs using nothing but PPTs.
Seeing the brand of Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises teetering on the brink of collapse,
They descended like a flock of vultures that had caught the scent of carrion, eager to devour the carcass of Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises and feast until their bellies were full.
"Look, Bob."
"Truly, when fortune favors us, heaven and earth conspire, but when luck turns, heroes are helpless!"
"What does it matter if you, Meng Hao, are a genius? Aren't you still on the verge of bankruptcy with your reputation ruined by me!"
Dǒng Jiàn was ecstatic.
His Ào Shì Heavy Industries had already received a considerable number of orders.
Now, with Meng Hao about to be purged from Bilibili and his online sales channels about to be blocked, he, Dǒng Jiàn, had poured a fortune into hiring online trolls to smear Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises and elevate his own Ào Shì Heavy Industries.
The effect was remarkable.
In the burgeoning mech concept circle in this Great Xia, Ào Shì Heavy Industries was subtly showing signs of becoming a leader.
"What a shame."
"Our technology still can't catch up to Meng Hao's Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises."
"Otherwise, I would have genuinely considered running this Ào Shì Heavy Industries properly."
"Mr. Bob, after I've harvested my leeks in a few more days, Meng Hao's Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises should be close to bankruptcy. At that time, you can condescendingly acquire them... And don't forget to grant me that green card you promised!"
Dǒng Jiàn squinted, smiling like a pug.
"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you!"
"However, I must say, Mr. Dǒng Jiàn, you are truly a genius at scheming!"
Faced with Bob's mocking words,
Dǒng Jiàn remained unperturbed and confident.
After all,
Is a man not a man if he doesn't resort to treachery?
As long as the goal can be achieved,
What's wrong with a little scheming!
In Qín Mùyān's live-streaming room,
A large influx of anti-fans was pouring in, taunting relentlessly.
"I knew it, Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises was too bold, daring to trade in military equipment!"
"These guys deserve to be banned, completely!"
"By the way, those who paid a deposit of one hundred thousand yuan earlier, hurry up and claim your refunds, otherwise this money will be like a meat bun thrown to a dog... gone to waste!"
"I heard that there's a company called Ào Shì Heavy Industries that also sells mechs, and they are cooperating with General Motors USA, a large enterprise with national registration. You won't step on a mine!"
"Brother, give us the link, let's all get our refunds quickly and then order from Ào Shì Heavy Industries. If we're late, we won't be able to get them!"
"..."
These anti-fans,
While stepping on Meng Hao and Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises, they did not forget to advertise for Dǒng Jiàn's mech-building company via PPT, Ào Shì Heavy Industries!
Their act of taking money to advertise was so blatant, they didn't even bother to pretend.
Meng Hao appeared.
His expression was somewhat serious.
"Everyone, although I don't know what's happening, I must reiterate."
"Our Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises is absolutely not a military enterprise, nor do we have any intention of riding on military traffic."
"I will go communicate with the official Bilibili... Regardless of whether our live stream is banned or your prepayments are frozen, Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises guarantees that we will complete the manufacturing of your mechs and deliver them to you within one year."
Meng Hao's words were better left unsaid.
As soon as he tried to explain, the paid anti-fans went into a frenzy.
"Give it a rest, still pretending at this point!"
"Look at the products you've developed, they are completely benchmarked against military standards."
"Still claiming you're not riding military traffic... Although I don't know what capability you have to earn praise from a Major General of the Bear Country, you've already connected with the Bear Country's military, and you dare to call yourselves a private enterprise... Stop being so shameless!"
"We strongly suspect that your Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises is a military factory set up by the Bear Country in Great Xia, using Bear Country's technology to produce finished products in our country and then reselling them to the Bear Country!"
"Recently, the Bear Country has been under blockade by the West, so they've moved it to Great Xia... Meng Hao, your actions might provoke Western sanctions... You will become a national sinner!"
Good heavens.
These accusations,
They were clearly trying to condemn Meng Hao and Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises to death!
Colluding with the Bear Country.
Becoming a factory for foreign military equipment!
Secretly colluding with the Bear Country's military behind the state's back.
Bringing Western sanctions upon the nation.
These labels and burdens were each more vicious and damaging than the last.
"Everyone, don't think I'm joking!"
"Look at the latest video released by the Bear Country!"
"Damn it, this is clearly a military enterprise!"
"..."
Hmm?
Did Bilibili suddenly announce its intention to ban our company's live stream because of something related to the Bear Country?
What new mischief has been caused by the mechs I recently delivered to the Bear Country?
Suppressing the urge to retort against the anti-fans,
Meng Hao copied the link, pasted it into his mobile browser, and opened it to take a look.
...
As expected.
It was Major General Guderov of the Bear Country causing trouble again.
The webpage opened to a video.
The video title was:
[Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises' latest production, the Phantom Mech, is absolutely badass!]
Damn it.
Just as expected.
It was another incident caused by this Major General Guderov.
Judging by the video thumbnail,
White snow.
Military exercises.
This was the same video that had caused a stir before!
These anti-fans truly had no new reasons or excuses to attack me.
"Oh, so it's this video!"
"Didn't they release it before? Why is it being brought up again?"
"We've already clarified this before. As Huá Róng Industrial Enterprises' first mech, it being made larger and sturdier is normal!"
Meng Hao felt a bit more at ease.
Although these previous videos had caused quite a sensation online, they had not attracted the attention of Great Xia's top leadership.
If this video truly had any issues,
They would have been summoned for questioning long ago.
