Chapter 3147 Public Opinion Storm

Zhou Buqi sighed and said earnestly: "Why don't you understand? I am really helping you. As long as you can get out of your persecution fanaticism, you will realize that I am actually helping you resolve a potential crisis." A storm of public opinion.”

Cook said angrily: "Apple is now in a storm of public opinion!"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "But at least the current public opinion is controllable. I have no intention of discrediting Apple, and Hollywood will not deliberately target Apple. As long as Apple comes up with an explanation to soothe the spirits of the victims caused by the leaked photos. The loss is enough.”

Cook was really angry.

What a fart!

This matter has nothing to do with Apple at all!

Cook said: "The cloud platform is like a real estate developer. You can't just say that your home has been stolen and just go to the developer to ask for compensation, right?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi caught the loophole in the other party's words and said amusedly, "You are right. If your home is stolen, you cannot go to the developer. The developer does not need to bear responsibility. However, the property owner must bear the responsibility. ! The developer of Apple Cloud is Apple, and the properties of Apple Cloud are also Apple.”

"This is a wrong metaphor." Cook knew that he had made a mistake, so he stopped worrying. "This morning, I also watched the interview with Nicole Kidman on "The Daily Show" yesterday. She was preparing for her She was doing an exclusive interview for the new film "Paddington Bear" and she pointedly pointed at Apple, believing that Apple caused the leakage of those photos, which was an intentional attempt to guide public opinion."

Zhou Buqi said: "This is enough to illustrate the truth that safeguarding the rights and interests of every female practitioner has become a consensus in the Hollywood industry. "Paddington" is not a movie of Ziweixing Universal, and Nicole's statement does not only represent Her personal opinion.”

Cook said solemnly: "I think an anti-Apple trend has formed in Hollywood, and you are the leader of this trend!"

This is an obvious thing.

Even Robert Iger resigned from Apple's board of directors and turned to cooperate with the boss Zhou.

But there is no direct evidence.

This gave Zhou Buqi room to maneuver. He firmly refused to admit it, "There is no anti-Apple trend in Hollywood, there is only the rising trend of feminism in Hollywood. I believe you can also feel it. This trend has spread not only in Hollywood." Arrived in Silicon Valley.”

Cook said: "This is not feminism at all!"

Zhou Buqi said: "Women will always be the victims of leaked nude photos. Isn't this feminism? Maybe you are too far away from Hollywood and don't know much about the situation there. Hollywood is no longer what it used to be. Hollywood has entered a new era."

"Didn't you create this new era?"

Cook felt that this kid was unreasonable, but he did not deny his ability. He was able to conquer Silicon Valley and Hollywood, and he was even able to thrive on Wall Street. He was truly a rare genius in the history of business.

Zhou Buqi frowned and said: "You can't question the correctness of the just cause because it harms your interests. If you are here to negotiate, we can negotiate amicably to find a reasonable solution to the problem. If you are here to ask questions, then I am still busy and I have several meetings to attend.”

Cook really had no choice. He was very anxious and wanted to resolve the dispute as soon as possible. "What do you want to do?"

If you want to take the initiative, don't put forward conditions first. Zhou Buqi said: "It's not what I want to do. This matter has nothing to do with me! My photos have not been leaked and I have not been harmed in any way. Now it's you Use your sincerity to make up for those victims!”

Cook has always had a good temper, but he got angry again and again, saying, "You are relying on Apple."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's not me, it's the victims who want justice. I'm just acting as their negotiator."

"This matter has nothing to do with Apple!" Cook insisted. "I have consulted the legal department. The responsible parties are the hackers and the overly simple passwords set by the customers. Apple does not need to bear the cost of this matter."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "As long as you have confidence, in fact, I think so. Ziweiyun also has a similar cloud photo album service. I also consulted the legal affairs department and they also said the same thing. The protection of rights and interests ultimately depends on the law. It’s all normal.”

"Um?"

"The Rights Protection Committee has filed a lawsuit, and it is estimated that Apple will receive a notice soon. Then it will be enough to actively respond to the lawsuit. I believe the judge can give the most fair and just judgment. If the court sides with Apple, no Are you all happy?"

"hehe."

Cook felt that the conversation could no longer go on and planned to leave.

I think this guy is such a jerk!

Is Apple afraid of lawsuits?

What Apple is afraid of is the current public opinion storm. If more and more Hollywood stars join in, and more and more people in the entertainment industry express their opinions against Apple, Apple will always be at the forefront of the storm. At this time, what use is the fairness of the law? Even if Apple wins the lawsuit, what's the point?

Apple's brand and reputation have been destroyed!

In the past few days, Apple's stock price has plummeted by more than 7.9%!

…

Ning Yaxian has completely returned to work.

The main reason is that the increase in family members has allowed more people to handle the internal affairs of the family, especially Wang Yanan and Chen Yan. They have completed their status advancement by relying on their mother and daughter, and they have truly entered the Zhou family. , became Aunt Xue's right-hand deputy to help handle family affairs.

Coupled with Xue Baoshan's return to the family, Ning Yaxian no longer had any worries, so she came to Boss Zhou again and resumed her roles as "Secretary Ning" and "Assistant Ning".

On behalf of Boss Zhou, Ning Yaxian sent Cook out.

After coming back, he saw the old god Zhou Buqi relaxing in his arms with his little secretary Yan Qiqi. He smiled softly from a distance and said: "Cook looks very angry."

Zhou Buqi said nonchalantly, "It's not my fault."

Ning Yaxian listened to the whole conversation between him and Cook, and laughed: "Why do I feel that it is not hackers who are blackmailing Hollywood, but Hollywood is blackmailing Apple! Use Hollywood's own communication advantage to raise public opinion against Apple. "

Zhou Buqi nodded, "This is the importance of leading Hollywood."

"ah?"

Ning Yaxian was slightly shocked.

Yan Qiqi was quite familiar with Sun Wanran and Ning Lu, but not very familiar with Ning Yaxian. Now she was nestling in the big boss's arms, she felt a little blushing and shy, and was embarrassed to be overly affectionate. She was even a little nervous about the senior's hand reaching out to her waist.

Zhou Buqi said: "If social media and Hollywood can be combined, they will be invincible. This advantage must be grasped to benefit Ziweixing's long-term competition with Facebook in the future."

Ning Yaxian nodded lightly, "What about Apple? What will Apple do?"

Zhou Buqi snorted, "Cook is too petty! He doesn't have the advantage that Steve Jobs had in the public opinion field!"

Back then, Jobs was able to go head-on with Hollywood and win a huge victory. Not only did he let Disney change its CEO, but he also forced Disney to lower its head and come to seek reconciliation.

That's because Jobs has huge social influence and topicality, even if Jobs' iPod led to widespread piracy and put Apple at a moral disadvantage. But Jobs was still able to make a comeback and defeat Disney through his strong media focus and personal momentum.

Not so with Cook.

He is a professional manager whose personality charm and influence on public opinion are far inferior. He is not qualified to compete with Hollywood.

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips and said, "I always feel like this is a bit of a threat."

"It's not like a threat, this is a threat." Zhou Buqi was not ambiguous at all. In addition to adjusting the power structure of Hollywood and building momentum for the launch of Peacock, the recent operation was mainly aimed at Apple, "Hollywood is the world's largest An extortion agency! The amount of blackmail that hackers do with their nude photos is nothing compared to Hollywood!”

"Hollywood? Blackmail?"

Ning Yaxian didn't quite understand what he meant.

Zhou Buqi said: "Whoever dares to offend Hollywood will be the villain of Hollywood movies."

Ning Yaxian said amusedly: "Can you also turn Apple into a villain?"

"Hollywood has this ability, not to mention Apple as a company, not even the country." Zhou Buqi didn't think Cook had the ability to deal with it. "In the beginning, the Soviet Union did not allow Hollywood movies to make money there. In Hollywood movies, The main villains are all Soviets. For a while, the domestic market has become more and more open, which has helped Hollywood make enough money. This trend will change in the future. The policy adjustments have restricted the development of Hollywood in China. You see... we have to go back!”

Ning Yaxian laughed and said, "That's not true, is it?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Of course, when the time comes, Hollywood will have a large number of films that smear the country and come out to confront the tough. In fact, it is a kind of blackmail of some countries and regions that Hollywood movies have the right to speak about the global public image. If you don’t give money and don’t open up the market, you will be punished and humiliated. The key lies in the adjustment of policies and the distribution of benefits. Now, Apple must allocate some benefits to Hollywood, otherwise it will not calm down this matter.”

Ning Yaxian asked: "How to distribute the benefits?"

"Give me money!"

"Looking at Cook's appearance, he may not be willing to choose a settlement plan."

"He has no choice!" Zhou Buqi snorted, "If he doesn't reconcile, is he really going to file a lawsuit? If this lawsuit breaks out, it won't be settled for two or three years. In two or three years, Apple will continue to be under the influence of Hollywood. With the criticism from practitioners, maybe a movie about this hacking incident will be made, and Apple will really become the villain!”

Ning Yaxian's expression changed slightly, "Hollywood's weapons are really powerful."
