Bab 31: Chapter 31
The technology of the DC world is very advanced, with many machineries and energy technologies that have not been involved in the previous world, but the construction of the Internet is very backward.
Luke aimed at this blank area before establishing ShowMe. At the beginning of its creation, he knew that with the popularity of social platforms, superheroes would definitely become regular visitors of ShowMe.
I just didn't expect that this day would come so early.
Batman, Batman!
Looking at the information on the database, Luke couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth, with a touch of complacency in surprise.
Old man, old man! Unexpectedly, you were the first person to enter the urn!
Charlie pushed open the office door and hurried in.
"Boss, you finally woke up. It's almost an uproar outside."
"What is it?"
"Not Batman yet!"
Charlie snorted slightly, seemingly dissatisfied, "Since he released the news, ShowMe traffic has soared and almost smashed the server!"
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"What's a good thing, in just two hours, his account has more than 400,000 fans! The total number of ShowMe users is only 5 million, and he accounts for nearly one-tenth."
"Some time ago, you didn't mean that ShowMe should maintain a diversified development and cannot rely on superheroes and Internet hot spots."
Charlie's words made sense, Luke touched his chin and thought for a while, said,
"I will deal with this matter, how is the investigation of the ip matter."
Charlie's face immediately showed a strange expression, "The technical department tracked Batman's ip address, and it turned out that the other party was in the North Pole."
"Arctic?"
Luke was stunned. "He didn't forge the IP address?"
"Zachs and the others proved the authenticity of the ip address, and found no trace of forgery. The address was real." Charlie grabbed his hair and was very upset. "I just don't understand why he is in the North Pole!"
Luke laughed loudly.
"Okay, okay, tell Zacks, don't track it, there is no need for that."
With Bruce Wayne's financial resources, it couldn't be easier to build a base in the North Pole. Which fool would go to the North Pole to find him?
Charlie had a different idea about this and said seriously.
"I think it's better to keep track of it!"
Luke raised his brows slightly and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say."
"Just when you were taking a nap, the Gotham City Police Department and the FBI called one after another, asking us to provide Batman's IP address. According to your instructions, I didn't give it to them."
"Nothing is right, then what?"
"The threatening call came."
Luke was startled, "Intimidate the phone?"
"Yes, the call from Gotham City, ten times in a row, is not an anonymous call, nor is it the same person."
Luke's face suddenly changed, his eyes were slightly narrowed, with a few hints of cold light.
"those people?"
"Tommy Church, Alexander Rhodes, Justin Cook, Harrison Cod, and Victor Zavi's brother Frank Zavi are all famous and ruthless characters in Gotham City. They are all related to bats. The hero has a grudge."
Luke picked up the coffee, was silent for a while, then put it down again.
"Don't speak out about this matter."
"I have instructed the receiver to keep this matter secret, except for the three of us, no one outside knows."
Having said that, Charlie sighed, those threatening phone calls were like rocks on his heart. After moving away, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
"There is one more thing to tell you. I don't know why. Many news media point the finger at us. They say that ShowMe is not only an accomplice in spreading terrorism, but also a cradle for murderers."
Luke frowned, "Didn't Batman show evidence?"
"Those media do not believe what is on the Internet. They say that ShowMe's account is fabricated. That person is not Batman at all, unless he stands up and admits it. There are also reports that ShowMe is a puppet of Batman. The purpose of opening the account is to cover up the crime. ."
"A lot of these kinds of articles?"
"Gotham Weekly, Daily, Commercial Daily, as well as traditional media such as city radio and radio stations are reporting such remarks!"
Luke's index finger tapped his middle finger back and forth on the desktop, his expression getting more and more serious, the old man really caused himself a big trouble.
Charlie said anxiously, "I think we'd better hold a press conference to clarify the relationship with Batman."
"If you do what you say, more than half of the five million users will be lost."
"But you can't be a scapegoat! He is a hero, and we have a scapegoat. How can there be such a reason."
"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, notify the heads of the various departments, and have a meeting at three o'clock. By the way, call Robert in."
...
Bruce Wayne's remarks not only affected traditional media and online media, but also inside ShowMe.
In the meeting room, Luke could only look up at the faces that were flushed with excitement.
Snapped!
The copywriter fell on the table, interrupting everyone's imagination.
"This is the company's third executive meeting in four days. To be honest, it's a bit frequent, but I have to do it. As for the reason, you all know it, so I won't say more."
"I am calling you today for two reasons: first, the expansion of recruitment, the company's staff is seriously insufficient, and the expansion is imperative. You can estimate the gap in the number of people in your respective departments and report it to me later; second, the new version, I am going to prepare to Advance the new version scheduled to be launched next Wednesday to noon tomorrow, as well as the marketing plan of [Black Man Carrying Coffin]. You must keep up with the rhythm of the new version, Rowan, you are responsible for this."
As soon as the voice fell, Zuckers Berg stood up directly.
"
Where's Batman! "
"Batman is not in the scope of this meeting."
"why?"
Zachs said excitedly that other people were also puzzled. Whether from an emotional or business perspective, this incident is a good opportunity for ShowMe to soar to the sky. Just stand behind the majority of users and wave the flag for Batman. Cheering, you can tear a big piece of cake from the mouth of traditional media.
ShowMe can also become famous in the United States and become a beacon in the hearts of young people.
Philip Arthur also expressed doubts,
"Luke, are you going to give up this opportunity?"
"Yes, it is."
Luke did not hesitate and answered directly. After finishing speaking, he glanced at everyone and stopped on Robert Downs on the right. "Do you think the company should seize the opportunity to further expand its influence?"
The crowd did not speak, and their expressions gave answers.
"This is wrong. Let me reiterate that ShowMe is a social network platform, not a good and evil arbitration institution. We are dealing with the entire human society, regardless of skin color, race, or gender, as long as the users of ShowMe will be treated the same. "
"but..."
"No, but, go back and tell each of your men that Batman's matter ends here, and you are not allowed to discuss it in the company in the future."
Everyone came here in excitement and returned in defeat. No one thought that the boss, who is known for his boldness and fearlessness, would shrink from Batman's affairs.
Soon, only Cindy and Robert were left in the conference room.
Luke looked up and down Robert Downs, with a big smile on his face.
"How is the injury, does it hurt?"
"It's already done, it doesn't affect work."
"That's good, the company has heavy tasks during this time and needs manpower. You can share a lot." Then, turning his head to Cindy, "You and Robert will be handed over. He will be responsible for the company's financing."
Cindy was stunned, and never thought that the boss would say such a thing, it was because of her bad job! What went wrong!
"Okay, Cindy, go ahead!"
She nodded lonely, glanced at Robert, and turned to leave the conference room.
As Cindy left, the smile on Luke's face disappeared, and there was a little more seriousness in his eyes.
"There are some things that I can hide from them, but I can't hide from you. I won't say more about it. Before next Friday, financing must be finalized. 35 million is my bottom line. Can it be done?"
Robert got up quickly, "I won't let you down."
Luke said again, "As long as you succeed, you won't lose a point."
Robert waved his hands awkwardly.
"Don't mention that matter anymore. A decision made on impulse doesn't count."
"Do not!" Luke solemnly said. "I will abide by what you promised. You deserve it."
