Do You Have the Strength?
Public opinion is something quite simple yet immensely complex, depending on its function, it is expected by many to carry some complex possibilities.
But in terms of its own characteristics, the three elements that constitute public opinion are so clear and simple.
The subject of public opinion is the participating social groups, that is, part of the public, mind you, not all of the public.
This collective public consciousness is not naturally occurring, it requires deliberate guidance, and this function is often undertaken by various social organizations.
The object of public opinion can be simply understood as the focus of public attention, such as social phenomena, issues, and so on.
From macro to micro, the object of public opinion can be extremely complex, and limited by the consciousness of the subject group, but this link is actually the easiest to manipulate.
For example, when something indescribable happens, they’ll pick a scapegoat—be it an unlucky celebrity or whatever—to divert the attention of the public.
Speaking of the current social development in America, there are many topical discussion points, providing CEO Cheng with ample space to maneuver.
Therefore, he chose elements like LGBT, Musk, cryptocurrency, and scammer moguls as the object and mixed them all together, serving them up for the American audience to discuss.
Of course, as the beginning of a series of marketing efforts, this “Daily Show” needed to provide a little guidance to the audience, controlling their opinions about the topics mentioned in the program.
And that leads us to the third element of public opinion—opinions.
One can only say CEO Cheng is too considerate, he fully takes into account Americans’ aversion to thinking, delivering them express service to the pleasure of watching a talk show with just a few simple steps.
“Oh, NO, Elon, what you just said is over the line, Jia is a magnate, yes, you’re also wealthy, but there isn’t much difference between you two, I’d suggest you be a bit more polite.”
Mars Musk was already warmed up, and the host was still fanning the flames.
He even considerately nodded at Boss Jia, showing his approval for the attack.
The blatant flame-fanning was despicable, but Mi’er and Jax were quite entertained by it.
This is the charm of American talk shows.
The host on stage grills Rocket Musk, while the audience below awaits Rocket Musk’s responses, making for great showmanship.
What’s the appeal of a talk show without offense?
Even if Ms.
Dai’an came, the host didn’t give her any slack, offending when necessary—pretending to turn the other cheek, the conspiracy theories swaying ordinary Americans are nothing but nonsense.
(Pictures of Ms.
Dai’an on the Daily Show were shared in the group)
Rocket Musk of course understood he was to be part of the spectacle, and his response would have to be careful moving forward.
“The thing is, I don’t know much about Jia, but I am very clear on one matter: due to financial fraud and massive illegitimate cash-outs, his company’s market value plummeted by dozens of times.
Dozens of times!
That’s like the money you could spend on a car only being enough to buy two ice cream cones, and some individual investors even lost their life’s savings because of his scams.
Jia, do you have any explanation for this fact?”
“Beautiful!”
CEO Cheng quietly exclaimed.
Rocket Musk truly lived up to his name, skillfully shifting the blaze onto Accountant Jia and emphasizing the dozens of times in loss and personal investors to make the live audience vividly aware of the enormity of the disaster Lao Jia had caused.
You, the host, say I’m not that different from him, but my Tesla has made so many people wealthy, and him?
He has caused countless people to go bankrupt!
Lao Jia just smiled; though the question seemed tough, it was nothing more than a tickle to him.
“That’s right, there have been some disputes between myself and the investors including the regulatory authorities in terms of finances, but I have been actively working on repaying the debts, which includes money from financiers, suppliers, and so on—I’m continuously repaying, it’s just a process.
Furthermore, regarding the company’s market value, I am more inclined to believe it’s been undervalued.
LeEco possesses quite an impressive asset library, such as our film and television rights which, even to date, still ranks within the first tier in Hua Country.”
Rocket Musk wasn’t about to let Accountant Jia off so easily.
“Then would you consider a buyback?
Would you use cash to repurchase shares of your own company, would you be willing?”
This was beyond the scope of rehearsal, and Lao Jia hadn’t expected such aggressiveness from Rocket Musk, he didn’t let up at all.
“I’ve already invested all my funds into cryptocurrency and the car manufacturing industry, I believe that cryptocurrency is the future, and so are new energy vehicles.
Therefore, I am more inclined to invest money into these two areas to continue entrepreneurship, seeking greater profits, thus achieving the completion of the debt repayment plan earlier.”
His answer was polished, even the most prejudiced American had to admit that Lao Jia had the demeanor of a magnate.
He owed tens of billions but was still carrying on with his businesses; that sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it?
Seeing Rocket Musk wanting to ask more, the host didn’t want to let him control the pace, so he interjected just in time.
“I’m not much interested in cryptocurrency, Jia, what I am curious about is why do you think Tesla doesn’t cut it?
And even that you offered, um, one US dollar, haha.”
Rocket Musk crossed his arms and watched the two actors’ performance quietly; he was waiting for an opportunity.
Accountant Jia’s nonsense had just irritated him, but he had already adjusted his emotions.
‘Today I will not play the Joker!’—Rocket Musk thought to himself.
