95: Chapter 95: Widespread Internet Slander

While Chen Yu was at the company investigating which car manufacturers were slandering Huanyu Auto, he was unaware that on the other side of the Earth, the United States was brewing an extermination plan targeting the Yanxia people.

At Huanyu Technology.

"Captain, I've already found out which car companies are targeting your Huanyu Auto."

"Oh! Tell me, I want to see if they still want to stay in this industry!"

"Currently, there are 6 other car companies targeting Huanyu Auto: Jihu Auto, Lingke Auto, Mengxiang Auto, Gaohe Auto, and also Te Si La Auto and Zhongda Auto."

Chen Yu frowned. This was truly a strong alliance, all well-known car companies.

There were even international giants like Te Si La and Zhongda Auto!

"Heh heh, how can my Huanyu Auto be so capable? I think these car companies won't be able to survive in Yanxia anymore!"

"If I remember correctly, the four domestic new energy car companies—Jihu Auto, Lingke Auto, Mengxiang Auto, and Gaohe Auto—should all be supplied with batteries from our Huanyu Technology and BYD Auto's joint venture factory. I didn't expect them to bite the hand that feeds them and slander me. Do they think this will increase their sales? Idiots!"

Chen Yu pulled out his phone and directly called Wang Chuanjun, the chairman of BYD Auto.

The phone rang only twice before it was answered, and Wang Chuanjun's hearty laughter came through.

"Haha, Brother Chen, how come you're finally calling me?"

"Chairman Wang, my Huanyu Auto has been having a really tough time recently!"

Wang Chuanjun certainly knew about the recent online attacks and slanders Huanyu Auto had been facing.

"Brother Chen, based on my experience, you're being targeted. Back when our BYD Auto was number one in sales, negative news never stopped. When we investigated, we found that behind those marketing accounts were shadows of other car companies. I once offered a 5 million reward for netizens to provide clues, and we sued a large number of haters. Do you want to try something similar?"

Chen Yu was not impressed by Wang Chuanjun's method. He had a supercomputer and didn't need to offer rewards to netizens for clues.

"Chairman Wang, actually, I've already found out which car companies are targeting me, but don't be surprised when I tell you!"

Wang Chuanjun became interested!

"Tell me quickly! Your elder brother will definitely help you with whatever he can!"

"It's Jihu Auto, Lingke Auto, Mengxiang Auto, Gaohe Auto, and also Te Si La Auto and Zhongda Auto. Are you surprised?"

Wang Chuanjun was stunned for a few seconds, then spat!

"Damn it, Jihu Auto, Lingke Auto, Mengxiang Auto, Gaohe Auto—aren't these four supplied with our batteries? What they're doing shouldn't benefit them at all!"

"Chairman Wang, you're thinking too simply. If our sales drop, their sales might rise. So, I'll leave these four car companies to you. From now on, stop providing them with our Heavy Hydrogen Ion Battery. I'll cover the breach of contract fees. I gave them a chance to survive, but they didn't cherish it!"

Wang Chuanjun sighed.

"Alas, this is indeed their fault. I'll terminate cooperation with them immediately. However, we will also lose a large order because of this!"

"Heh heh, that's true in the short term. Over time, our two companies' cars will completely swallow their market!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Chen, following you is truly the opportunity of a lifetime! But how do you plan to deal with the remaining Te Si La and Zhongda Auto?"

"Te Si La, relying on its first-mover brand advantage, still has people who are foreign-worshipping and willing to buy it even with only a few hundred kilometers of range. As for Zhongda Auto's fuel cars, they also have a certain market in Yanxia. These two are indeed difficult to deal with. Do you have a plan, Brother Chen?"

Wang Chuanjun thought for a moment, then said with a hint of coldness:

"How about we fight fire with fire? When I used to clash fiercely with those domestic car companies, I also cultivated a group of internet trolls. What do you think, why don't we also learn from their shamelessness for once?"

Chen Yu fell into thought. Using the same method to slander those two car companies would indeed be a very satisfying approach.

But Chen Yu didn't want to do that. With his current capabilities, there should be other ways.

"Elder Brother Wang, you just help me deal with those four domestic car companies. I'll handle the remaining Te Si La and Zhongda Auto myself!"

"Alright then, Brother, I'll make sure it's handled perfectly for you, guaranteeing they'll go bankrupt this year!"

"Good, thanks!"

After hanging up the phone with Wang Chuanjun, Chen Yu began to ponder how to eliminate these two foreign car companies.

These two car companies had once earned countless sums of money in Yanxia.

Back then, an ordinary Zhongda Magotan would sell for two to three hundred thousand yuan. If it weren't for the rise of domestic cars, they would still be milking the wallets of the Chinese people. Now it's time to expel them from the Yanxia market.

Chen Yu's first step now was to restore Huanyu Auto's image.

"Supercomputer, collect all the secret transaction records, chat logs, videos, etc., between those six car companies, the marketing accounts they colluded with, and the car reviewers who spread rumors for money. I want to expose them, restore the image of our Huanyu Auto, and also make them fall into an abyss of eternal damnation!"

"Okay, Captain, I have already collected some of this evidence. Next, I will monitor some important car review accounts and the mobile phones of the executives of those car companies. Any new actions they take will be recorded by me."

"Good!"

Just after Chen Yu finished giving instructions to the supercomputer, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw it was an unknown number.

Chen Yu answered, and a powerful voice came through.

"Chen Yu, I'm Li Zhenfeng."

Chen Yu was surprised. This was a big shot, the Minister of Economy and also the Premier, actually calling him.

Chen Yu respectfully said:

"Uh, Minister Li, it's you. Is there anything you need from me?"

"Chen Yu, I heard that your Huanyu Auto has been widely slandered online recently. The government is preparing to help you quell this public opinion storm."

Chen Yu had previously thought about using official power to delete these rumors and slanders.

However, this would not completely overturn these slanders.

What Chen Yu wanted to do was find evidence of his company being slandered, fight fire with fire, and reverse public opinion.

That way, the more severely he was cursed before, the deeper people's goodwill towards him would be after the reversal.

It would also allow more people to remember Huanyu Auto, and sales would see explosive growth.

So Chen Yu refused:

"Minister Li, thank you for your kindness. Actually, I already have a way to handle this matter, so the government doesn't need to worry about it!"

Li Zhenfeng smiled and said:

"Hahaha, it's truly you. Good, you can solve this matter yourself. If you need the country's help, we will not shirk our responsibility!"

"Okay, Minister Li, thank you!"

After ending the call with Li Zhenfeng, Chen Yu smiled faintly. With his current strength, even the country would try to win him over.

Recalling a few months ago, he was still a loser who almost committed suicide.

Now he was a super-tycoon who could control international affairs. All of this was given by the alien spaceship.

He remembered when he first got the alien spaceship, he even wanted to sell it. Now, thinking about it, it was truly laughable back then, truly an unpromising loser!

After Chen Yu gave instructions on how to punish these blacklisted car companies, he left Huanyu Technology and headed straight for Huanyu Technology Park.

Currently, tens of thousands of robots there were in full swing constructing the homeland-class spaceship and the space elevator.

The space elevator had already completed a super-large bottom base, which was an important component connecting the high-molecular synthetic steel cables.

Once this was completed, Chen Yu would build a space station in space, and then use the high-molecular steel cables to connect to the ground base.

Utilizing the centrifugal force of the Earth's rotation to keep the space elevator running stably.

Of course, the space station in space also needed to be equipped with propulsion devices.

If heavy objects were transported, it might lead to uneven forces upwards and downwards.

Therefore, the space station suspended in space must have propulsion devices to neutralize the weight of the transported goods.

Chen Yu then went to the 300-meter underground shelter base.

It was brightly lit by lights, like daylight.

The space had been greatly expanded, and Chen Yu could barely see the end from the suspended elevator.

In the future, this would be an underground city, with a top simulating sunlight from controllable nuclear fusion.

An ecological circulation system would be built inside, transplanting trees, flowers, plants, animals, and insects, and sustainable farmland would also be built to grow food crops.

The city's water source would use a circulation system, and the top could collect water molecules from the air, and once a certain amount was gathered, it would simulate the process of natural rainfall.

This set of ecological circulation systems was actually quite similar in the homeland-class spaceship.

It was just that the homeland-class spaceship would be more refined and divided into many layers.

After his inspection, Chen Yu took a landing craft directly to the No. 1 Mothership on the moon.

He planned to take advantage of this time to do something important.
