The camera debugging work was finally completed.
As Mecha Ji started broadcasting again.
The viewers scattered across various platforms instantly rushed into Huatong Technology's independent live stream.
"Wow, Mecha Ji is finally broadcasting."
"Hasn't it been almost half a month since she last appeared?"
"Speaking of which, Brother Hao and Sister-in-law Hao understand us… they finally sent away those old leeks and replaced them with some presentable girls."
"Holy crap, Brother Hao is also on screen… It's been almost three months since I last saw Brother Hao, I've missed him so much."
"..."
The first to enter the live stream were naturally Meng Hao's loyal fans.
After that.
Various big influencers, represented by "Guang Zhou Zi," also barged in.
"Not bad, daring to broadcast at this time!"
"Meng Hao, the CEO of Huatong Technology, I think you owe the public an explanation."
"Can you tell us why the Phantom mecha has been discontinued… It's okay if your company goes bankrupt, but can you at least refund the consumers' pre-payments first!"
Meng Hao watched these rampant big influencers with a cold eye.
Their ability to stir up trouble was truly impressive.
No one had even said that Huatong Technology was going bankrupt, but in their mouths, it had become a foregone conclusion.
With the big influencer representative "Guang Zhou Zi" making the first move.
The atmosphere in the live stream instantly became much more tense… and within just a few minutes, hundreds of self-proclaimed online big influencers and anti-fans flooded in.
Damn it.
These people were truly enthusiastic.
Currently, there were only a little over a hundred consumers who had not received their goods.
And yet, before the consumers could even question, these big influencers, whose numbers even surpassed the consumers, were the first to launch their attack.
"So, what's your intention in suddenly showing up in our Huatong Technology's live stream?"
Despite Meng Hao's utter disgust for these big influencers who had taken money and were now barking like mad dogs.
However, since this was a crisis public relations situation, Meng Hao still responded… He wanted to see what these guys had to say and what sinister intentions they harbored.
Meng Hao gave Mecha Ji a look.
She understood his intentions.
She actively initiated a connection with Guang Zhou Zi.
After all, what was coming could not be avoided.
It was better to take the initiative.
"Mr. Meng, hello, I am the big influencer Guang Zhou Zi."
"At such a sensitive time, you still dare to request a connection. Your courage is commendable."
"Your attitude of admitting fault is very good, and I appreciate it."
Guang Zhou Zi's voice, like a rooster's crow, instantly resounded in the live stream.
Meng Hao's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Stop the nonsense and speak if you have something to say."
"When did I and my Huatong Technology make any mistakes? Don't just smear us."
"I'm here to debate you, not to chat about family matters."
Meng Hao immediately saw through Guang Zhou Zi's trick.
This guy, right from the start, had slapped the label of "actively admitting fault" onto Meng Hao and Huatong Technology.
If Meng Hao had been careless and overlooked this, then to the vast majority of viewers, it would be as if Huatong Technology had confessed and intended to embezzle over 300 million yuan in payments… and he, Guang Zhou Zi, would have become a warrior championing the people.
Damn it.
Meng Hao wouldn't fall for it, and he certainly wouldn't indulge him.
As soon as he spoke, he immediately lashed out.
And he explicitly stated that he was here to debate Guang Zhou Zi and refute his baseless claims.
Guang Zhou Zi felt a bit awkward.
Seeing that Meng Hao had not fallen into his verbal trap.
He immediately changed his aggressive demeanor and began to spew venom.
"My friend ordered a Phantom mecha from Huatong Technology."
"He's been waiting for three to four months, why hasn't it been shipped yet?"
"I've already advised him to return it. Your Huatong Technology is currently facing many problems, and by the looks of it, it's highly unlikely you'll overcome this crisis."
"I strongly advise everyone to return their orders. You've offended the US and the entire Western world… Without chips, lithium batteries, rare earth elements, and other resources, Huatong Technology will soon go bankrupt."
Good heavens.
This Guang Zhou Zi's intentions were truly wicked.
If Meng Hao denied that Huatong Technology had a crisis regarding batteries and raw materials, then Guang Zhou Zi's next step would be to force Meng Hao to ship immediately… If they used composite lithium batteries produced by NG Company, which had backdoors, then Huatong Technology would be disgraced globally and bankrupted by compensation.
If Meng Hao was unwilling to use the composite lithium batteries produced by NG Company with backdoors, it would be tantamount to implicitly admitting that Huatong Technology was indeed facing the crisis that Guang Zhou Zi claimed, which would inevitably trigger a wave of mass returns… Huatong Technology, which already had insufficient cash flow, would also face a crisis of bankruptcy.
And the biggest beneficiaries, naturally, would be these so-called big influencers led by Guang Zhou Zi.
They received money from foreign forces and gained a good reputation.
Truly a win-win in terms of fame and fortune.
It was clear.
Guang Zhou Zi was extremely proficient in this kind of act of profiting from others' misfortune, even to the point of making it seem effortless.
Guang Zhou Zi feigned a look of righteous indignation.
He quietly waited for Meng Hao's choice.
And then he would unleash all the rhetoric he had prepared.
As a result.
Meng Hao's answer left Guang Zhou Zi and the others somewhat stunned.
"Heh heh."
"Taking advantage of your incitement of public opinion across the entire internet, focusing again on our Huatong Technology."
"I'm prepared to announce something."
Huh?
What's going on?
Why isn't Meng Hao following their pre-set script?
He even wants to use this opportunity to announce something major?!
Guang Zhou Zi, who was quietly waiting, felt a little flustered.
Before he could guess what major news Meng Hao was about to reveal, Meng Hao suddenly quickened his pace.
"Huatong Technology being choked by foreign forces is a fact, there's no need to hide anything!"
"However, during these past three months, I have already resolved the problem of being choked."
"In this world, it's not just Western countries and their running dogs and subordinate nations that have rare earth and lithium minerals."
"Our Huatong Technology has reached an agreement with Bear Country and purchased a lithium mine!"
What?
So Brother Hao's disappearance these past two to three months was to resolve the lithium mine issue?
That doesn't make sense either.
Even if they had the raw lithium ore, Meng Hao and his Huatong Technology wouldn't have the technology for ore smelting, secondary processing, and comprehensive research and development.
After all.
The most advanced and cutting-edge lithium ore smelting, purification, research and development, and manufacturing technologies were all in the hands of Western countries.
"Heh heh."
"Mr. Meng, your words are a bit too boastful."
"Regardless of whether you're bluffing or not… even if you've secured the lithium ore, you don't have the technology to produce lithium batteries."
"Moreover, Bear Country doesn't have any leading composite lithium battery manufacturers!"
Guang Zhou Zi began to admire his own brain's processing speed.
In almost an instant, he thought of a way to deal with Meng Hao.
He paused for a moment.
And then he continued to intensify the smearing of Meng Hao and Huatong Technology.
