Cosmic Trading System
Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Online Controversy

After Zhong Ling joined, the first thing Lin Yun assigned her to do was to change the company's name to Qingyun. The original factory was not abandoned, but with the addition of new ones, Lin Yun asked Zhong Ling to look into the necessary procedures.

"Understood," Zhong Ling nodded.

Although she was not overly familiar with these types of matters, she could ask friends, former colleagues from the law firm, or even consult with official departments.

Lin Yun transferred one million yuan to Zhong Ling as funds for administration.

He also explained that if any phase required additional funds, it would not be a problem, as long as she informed him.

Zhong Ling nodded, acknowledging the instructions.

Although her time working at the law firm was brief, she had witnessed many dark goings-on in society. She knew, too well, what Lin Yun was saying, that it was quite common for a simple task, which typically did not require money, could not be accomplished without paying extra cash.

Now, with the increasing development of the Internet, things had improved quite a bit, and some departments didn't dare to be too blatant.

However, this still did not eliminate the darkness in some places.

...

Speaking of the Internet.

That day, the Internet was far from peaceful.

Starting from the evening, a video started circulating wildly across the web.

"Everyone, our Tianyu Group is researching your backgrounds. If you want to continue selling other electronic products, it'd be best to revoke your agency rights to Qingyun mobile power banks and stop selling them. Otherwise, we, Tianyu Group, can make it impossible for you to sell any other electronic products. Believe it or not?"

"Qingyun mobile power banks are in dispute with our Tianyu Group. If you act as agents for them, you are our enemy. It would be perfectly reasonable for Tianyu Group to blacklist you. As for Tianyu Group's ability to do so, you can put it to the test."

"Don't think that, by obtaining the agency rights for Qingyun mobile power banks and focusing on their business, it won't significantly affect you. Once Tianyu Group speaks out, how many vendors would dare to sell Qingyun mobile power banks?"

In the video, a haughty man spoke nonchalantly.

"Mr. Lin told us to scram. I think this is an insult to us. You guys give Mr. Lin a lesson."

This man turned around and spoke to the five men in black behind him.

"Let me clarify first, the Qingyun mobile power bank has nothing to do with me. I just heard about this product recently and came to see what it was like. I have no plans to sell it..."

"I'm also not planning to sell the Qingyun mobile power bank anymore. Initially, I wanted to apply for its agency rights, but I didn't get them. Despite my qualifications not being bad, it seems unfair to me. Since you, Tianyu Group, have spoken, I might as well give it up..."

Some people came forward in a hurry to express themselves.

"Heh, very good. Only those who can read the room can become talents. Rest assured, as long as you step forward now, we at Tianyu Group will not retaliate. We in Tianyu Group are rather reasonable, you see."

The haughty man laughed lightly.

"I am also not going to sell Qingyun mobile power banks..."

"I never planned to sell Qingyun mobile power banks in the first place..."

Subsequently, more people stepped up looking terrified and anxious.

No doubt, this was footage from the day when Feng Lianggong and his group attempted to cause trouble for Lin Yun.

This video, which seemed to have been taken secretly, showed just Lin Yun's silhouette. Still, it perfectly captured the arrogance of Feng Lianggong's group, thereby perfectly showcasing the overbearing attitude of Tianyu Group, and containing hot and riveting discussion points.

A large corporation bullying a small businessman.

The strong picking on the weak.

Isn't that precisely what viewers loved to watch?

There was also, of course, an accelerant involved.

It was the footage of those wholesalers coming forward, looking tensed, anxious, and frightened, afraid to offend Tianyu Group, instigating an explosive element in the video.

However, all these were not the primary reasons why the video went viral.

The video suddenly appeared on the home pages of various portal websites.

"Qingyun mobile power bank, what's that?"

"I know Tianyu Group; they're a renowned major corporation in Shen City."

"Tianyu Group is a listed company. I've bought their stocks."

"Those people are from Tianyu Group? They're bullying people like this! It's absolutely outrageous!"

"Qingyun power bank, I'm going to check out what's happening..."

"Qingyun power bank, I know, it's an impressive power bank..."

"A hundred thousand milliamps...huge capacity...ten minutes... to fully charge..."

"Yeah, I just checked, Qingyun power bank, if what people say online is true, this power bank is really amazing, I can't believe that power banks have developed to such extent..."

"I mean, a hundred thousand milliamps, and it's only as big as a phone? That's too exaggerated right? And it can fully charge in ten minutes; I can't imagine if this technology was used on phones..."

"Because it's so impressive, it caught attention; Tianyu Group, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Those people who came forward are so spineless..."

"There's a guy, I think I know him; he is the owner of an electronics shop around here. I bought many things from them, turns out he's that kind of person, I won't shop there anymore..."

Many one-sided comments appeared under these videos.

Moreover, some Internet buzzwords began to spread on the web.

"Who am I? I'm someone from the Tianyu Group. I dare you to mess with me. I bet you wouldn't believe if I let my minions beat you up until your mother doesn't recognize you?"

"I am a senior executive of the Tianyu Group, won't you come and grovel before me?"

"What's so great about being a senior executive at Tianyu Group? I am the CEO of Tianyu Group..."

"If you step forward now, I won't beat you up; we at Tianyu Group are very reasonable."

...

For a time, Tianyu Group was smeared black.

The Qingyun power bank, as a result, was known to countless people.

...

"What's going on? How did this video appear on the homepage?"

"I don't know, it seems like we can't modify it..."

"Someone from Tianyu Group has already contacted us, asking us to take down this video..."

"The problem is, we can't modify it, surely some expert did this, not only is it on our site, many other sites have this video on their homepage too; this expert, is really amazing..."

At the same time, many administrators of portal websites were both shocked and helpless.

...

Naturally, it was Lin Yun who put up the video.

In the universe, numerous civilizations, many of which have networks similar to Earth's, some shop owners who hail from advanced civilizations have even created many products that can quickly adapt to various lower-level civilization networks, to facilitate sales.

Lin Yun easily found a product suitable for Earth's network, a super brain that surpasses Earth's network technology.

At the same time, he purchased some network knowledge from the official Cosmic Trading System.

Those knowledge directly integrated into his mind, making him an instant expert in networking, allowing him to easily operate the super brain.

These high-tech items were not cheap, the super brain was okay, it only cost one Spirit Crystal.

For those network knowledge, Lin Yun spent three Spirit Crystals to acquire them.

And that was just for the lower-level network knowledge.

High-level network knowledge was astronomically priced.

However, these knowledge had one advantage, which was that they could be integrated directly into his mind, allowing him to instantly master them and save a lot of learning time.

Earth was entering the internet era, anyways, if he wanted to grow on Earth, he would need to acquire this knowledge sooner or later; buying it earlier made no difference.

Plus, upon acquiring these, he found that the three Spirit Crystals were well worth it, along with the super brain, he could virtually do whatever he wanted on the internet.

If used well, this capacity could have an enormous impact.

Take the current situation, for example.

Lin Yun smiled slightly.

The management of Tianyu group must be in a right mess now, right?
