Gao Ming finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the new announcement.

  He could postpone it for now.

  Home Corporation also made a statement the moment the public opinion incident exploded. However, that statement did not have much substance. It was just a stalling tactic. They would admit their mistakes first and calm the public down before offering a solution.

  This announcement also gave a passable solution. There might still be people who would curse but the entire public opinion should gradually calm down.

  Of course, this was not just about the public relations department. The brilliant marketing department had to cooperate.

  He had to buy fake reviewers to bring the trend and control the comments, right?

  Gao Ming knew very well that netizens’ public opinion seemed to be very strong, but they were actually very weak.

  That was because everyone’s power was insignificant, let alone on the internet.

  While fake reviewers and reviewers would not be able to reverse public opinion in an instant, they could at least stir up public opinion and change the attention of different netizens.

  Some netizens saw the comments of the fake reviewers and felt that Home Corporation had made a compromise. They were satisfied that the struggle had improved. As for those who were still harping on it, they would quickly feel bored and give up without so much noise.

  The moment he released the video in the morning, Gao Ming stared at the relevant public opinion online. As he had expected, the matter had stabilized.

  There were still people cursing but it was obvious that many people had lost interest in this. Perhaps everyone did not have any hopes of completely changing the current situation. Thus, they reluctantly accepted the concessions of Home Corporation.

  It was a good sign.

  Gao Ming heaved a sigh of relief. He could not let his guard down completely, but at least nothing would go wrong in the short term, right?

  …


  In the afternoon, Gao Ming temporarily finished his other work and checked the public opinion on the internet about this matter.

  The public relations crisis over the past two days had made Gao Ming very busy. It had also delayed the original work flow of the marketing department.

  In the next few days, Gao Ming had to continue working hard and complete the original work.

  Gao Ming sighed. He had no choice.

  The outside world felt that the executives of a listed company had power. The social resources and energy they had far exceeded that of ordinary people. That was a fact. However, Gao Ming knew very well that he was just a high-level worker who had not escaped the scope of social animals. Most of the time, he still had no choice.

  He subconsciously opened various social media and forums to check the netizens’ reactions to the new announcement by Home Corporation.

  Logically speaking, the situation should have been more or less stabilized after a series of operations in the morning.

  However, to Gao Ming’s surprise, there were much fewer people scolding him previously. However, there were more sarcastic and sarcastic voices!

  Not only did the public opinion not improve, but it was even worse than in the morning!

  “What’s going on?”


  Gao Ming was very confused. There was something wrong with the netizens this year. Why didn’t you follow the plan?

  At that moment, there was an urgent knock on the director’s office door.

  “Boss Gao! Look at Shenhua Real Estate, Slow Movement Studio, and Sloth Apartments’ joint statement!”


  Gao Ming’s heart dropped.

  He did not know the specific content of the statement but the three names alone were enough to make people feel that the situation was very bad!

  He quickly searched online and realized that these three companies had really released a joint statement not long ago!

  The content of the statement was more official, but it could be summarized into the following points.

  For Slow Movement Studio, they would expand and upgrade the existing functions of the real estate intermediary simulator. For example:

  He could also achieve the viewing function with VR glasses alone. There was no need to be restricted by the PC. It was equivalent to disassembling the game into an experience version and a complete version. Nature would also be upgraded from a pure game to a game-oriented software.

  Players could freely upload real houses, or screen different types of houses in different cities to establish a virtual platform for landlords and tenants to view houses online. They would no longer be interfered with by ‘third parties’.

  He would jointly fund a new department with Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartments to be in charge of the operations and maintenance of the platform to ensure that the platform’s information was real.

  Of course, the platform’s recommendation resources would definitely tilt towards Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartments’ houses. That was very normal. After all, these were high-quality houses.

  On the other hand, Shenhua Corporation and Sloth Apartments’ tasks were relatively simple. They mainly paid, produced resources, and jointly endorsed brands.

  Apart from that, Sloth Apartments also announced the next stage of the plan. It would change the model of buying buildings and renting in the past, change to renting and buying, and expand to other cities faster.

  In other words, Sloth Apartments had also started its “rental” business.

  Sloth Apartments might not have emphasized that they were different from other rental companies but netizens spontaneously recognized that Sloth Apartments was definitely different from traditional rental companies like Home Corporation.

  Sloth Apartments had always had an excellent reputation and was deeply trusted by tenants.

  The most interesting thing was that the new department that the three companies had jointly established was called the ‘Real Service Department’!

  This department was actually still under Slow Movement Studio because Slow Movement Studio’s shares structure already contained Tengda Corporation and Shenhua Corporation. The new business was still jointly funded by three companies, so it made sense to put it in Slow Movement Studio.

  However, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that this department’s business was completely incompatible with Slow Movement Studio’s main business!

  Your Slow Movement Studio developed VR games. The new department was a platform. This crossover was too ridiculous!

  However, this name magically clarified the relationship between the new department and Slow Movement Studio.

  The reality service department meant that this department was mainly using Slow Movement Studio’s game to better serve reality!

  He immediately felt like the dimensional wall had been broken.

  This announcement had not been released for long, but it had already caused a heated response online!

  The employees of Gao Ming and the marketing department were even a little late.

  He could not blame them. On one hand, it was because they had been working overtime too much recently. They were about to faint. They were overwhelmed by various matters. On the other hand, it was also because they had not paid attention to these three companies at all.

  That was because in their concept, these three companies did not have the motivation to directly go down. That was because everyone’s business model was too different. It would not directly form a competitive relationship!

  Shenhua Real Estate made shopping malls, office buildings, and residential buildings.

  Slow Movement Studio, a game designer;

  Sloth Apartments might also be in charge of renting apartments, but their rental was to buy a building and rent it out. Apart from the rent, they also cooperated with real estate developers in model rooms and some furniture manufacturers. It was fundamentally different from Home Corporation’s “second property earns a difference” model.

  Only Sloth Apartments had a reason to interfere. However, Sloth Apartments had always been quite Buddhist. Ever since it was established, it had been in the vicinity of Jingzhou, affecting Home Corporation.

  At first, Home Corporation was quite cautious. However, when they realized that Sloth Apartments had been strictly following the model of buying a building before renting it out, they thought that there was a fundamental difference in the business model of the two. They could not be considered a huge threat.

  However, who would have thought that these three companies would reveal their true intentions directly and ruthlessly!

  It was just like an old tiger in the forest who was used to calling himself king. When he saw other carnivores, he felt that he would not be afraid of anyone if he were to fight them one on one. What’s more, everyone ate their own food, so he had not been too vigilant.

  However, one day, other carnivores suddenly joined forces to surround the old tiger. It was then that the tiger realized that it was going to die!

  Gao Ming himself was in a state of confusion. He even suspected the authenticity of this matter.

  The netizens were obviously confused as well, but it was a different kind of confusion compared to cleverness.

  Gao Ming was in a panic that was about to face a disaster while the netizens were elated.

  “Oh my god, Dream Crossover!”


  “This department’s name is actually called the realistic service department. That’s ridiculous! In my opinion, it might as well be called the ‘realistic intervention department’. Games interfere with reality, and the Machinery crisis is coming!”


  “A game manufacturer and a real estate developer doing rental business together? Boss Pei is an insider. You’re even better at breaking the fourth wall than I am!”


  “I’m afraid you don’t know that Slow Movement Studio is funded by Tengda. The core members are Shang Yang Games’ former employees. It’s said that the game idea came from Boss Pei. Coupled with the cooperation of Sloth Apartments, would you believe me if I said that Boss Pei did not plan for this place?”


  “That’s great! I’ve been thinking about when Sloth Apartments would open here. Now, I can finally see hope!”


  “Shenhua Real Estate is considered a general among the real estate developers. Its reputation is relatively good. At the very least, there are no serious quality problems. The service level of the property industry is also relatively high.”


  “To be honest, I don’t really trust Shenhua Real Estate. However, I believe in Boss Pei and Sloth Apartments. As long as Boss Pei is involved in this new platform, it will definitely be reliable!”


  “Previously, Young Master Tian’s video said that we should not despair. We have to look forward to the appearance and development of companies that break the current situation of rental houses. Wouldn’t that be it? This time, it would not be a small fight but another innovation in the business model!”


  “In comparison, Home Corporation’s statement is nothing. Sigh, we really shouldn’t have too much expectations for such a company.”


  “Actually, Young Master Tian’s video has already been analyzed clearly. Who would still have expectations for Home Corporation? It’s just some fake reviewers spending money to wash the ground. Home Corporation’s shares are falling rapidly. They can’t sit still.”


  “I only have one thing to say about this: intensify your efforts! I can’t wait for all the intermediary companies in the country to die!”
