"Hey, have you heard?
Someone recently bought a cheap grenade launcher. "
In the Bullet Bar, several wasteland walkers were drinking and talking about the recent news in Old Port.
"I've heard about it a long time ago."
Another wasteland walker curled his lips disdainfully and replied:
"A team of Wasteland Walkers bought one, and they ran into gangsters when they went on a mission that afternoon."
Speaking of this, he pretended to be mysterious and said:
"guess what?
The grenade launcher blew up and caused the gangsters to flee desperately. The wasteland walkers came back safe and sound with a grenade gun. "
"Your information is out of date, Max."
Before the wasteland walker finished speaking, another wasteland walker quickly interjected:
"I know a team that bought a grenade launcher, and a few people were able to kill a large group of mutants with it!"
"Isn't this pure nonsense?"
Before he finished speaking, someone next to him immediately refuted.
"How fast can a mutant run? Why don't you just get in the car and run if you encounter one? Do you have to fight head-on?"
At this point, he snorted disdainfully.
"If you ask me, this kind of idiotic statement is simply not credible."
The man took a sip of wine and said in a mean tone:
“How good can a grenade launcher that can be bought for seventy or eighty silver coins be?
Do you dare to use that kind of inferior product?
Aren't you afraid of blowing yourself up?
Pure rumors that only a mentally retarded person like you can believe. "
"Who are you calling retarded!?"
The wasteland walker who was ridiculed blushed and asked loudly.
"I'm scolding you! What's wrong?"
The scoffer retorted, not to be outdone.
………………
Situations like this often happen in bars and restaurants frequented by wasteland travelers recently, and what they all talk about is a cheap transmitter that they have never seen before.
At the beginning, it was just rumored that someone bought a low-priced, high-quality stick-type launcher on the black market at the entrance of Old Port South Channel.
Such rumors can be found everywhere in the Old Port, and wasteland walkers have long been accustomed to them and scorned them - this must be the weapon workshop bragging about its junk goods.
Therefore, such rumors did not cause much trouble at all.
But gradually, things started to get uncomfortable.
Gradually, some wasteland walkers said through "heard and heard" how good the quality of these grenade launchers was, and how powerful the teams who bought the grenade launchers were, killing people and killing Buddhas.
Among these rumors, some may sound plausible, while others may be extremely outrageous upon first hearing.
Finally, some negative opinions about this grenade launcher jumped out to refute it and spread widely, often appearing in various discussions about grenade launchers.
Public opinion gradually fermented, and at this time, it finally completely detonated the entire Wasteland Walker circle.
Everyone was talking about the grenade launcher, consciously or unconsciously. Although no one had ever seen this grenade launcher, everyone started to participate in the discussion.
There were some praises and some criticisms in the reviews. Both parties had their own opinions, and no one could convince the other, and they argued endlessly.
But there is no doubt that by this time, everyone knew that there was "really" such a grenade launcher on the market, and they were convinced of it.
The walls of the bar were well soundproofed, and the discussions among the Wasteland Walkers did not reach Hall's room through the walls.
But Hall still learned about the matter from reports from his subordinates.
After sitting in his seat and listening to the report from his young men, Hall sighed with emotion and recalled the scene when he met Yang Jie.
"When we release rumors, we need to be more versatile."
Yang Jie rolled his eyes and suggested to Hall:
"We are going to release some reliable rumors, and we are going to tell some extremely exaggerated rumors that are false at first sight."
"lie?"
Hall frowned, not quite understanding why Yang Jie did this.
In his opinion, extremely exaggerated compliments are usually used to discredit competitors.
Although he didn't understand what "one pink and ten black" meant, years of intelligence work still allowed him to clearly understand that making such exaggerated remarks would only bring discredit to Yang Jie's reputation as a grenade launcher.
Doesn’t he want to sell products? How could you not understand such a simple truth?
"If you do this, it will damage the reputation of the product.
Some people will definitely criticize it, which will affect your sales. "
Hall kindly reminded.
But Yang Jie didn't care at all, and said something that made Hall think:
“All I want is scolding.
Not only do I want them to scold me, I also want to take the initiative to release some more brainless rebuttals, so that the supporters can then scold those who rebutted them. "
After Yang Jie said these words, Hall thought about it and seemed to understand what Yang Jie wanted to do.
Whenever he recalled this incident, Hall would continue to marvel at Yang Jie's fantastic ideas and become more convinced that his choice was the right one.
"Yang Jie...hehe."
Hall chuckled, picked up the documents on the table again, and stopped thinking about it.
"Let me see how far you can go."
While the Wasteland Walkers were having a heated discussion about the grenade launcher, the instigator of the whole thing, Yang Jie, was slumped on the sofa, chatting with Matthew and Abe.
Three consecutive weeks of high-intensity work had almost drained Yang Jie of his energy. Now that he has finally completed the final preparations before the sale, he naturally needs to take a good rest.
"That's what's called 'hype.'"
After thinking for a moment, Matthew still shook his head in confusion.
"Sir, I still don't understand."
Matthew looked at Yang Jie sitting on the sofa, a little confused by the knowledge he taught.
In the past three weeks, Matthew and Abe have been following Yang Jie, helping Yang Jie with some welding work.
In the process of getting along, Matthew gradually discovered that the man in front of him was not as scary as he first met. On the contrary, he treated his brother very well and was very kind.
Whenever he made a mistake in welding, he would teach himself step by step with great patience.
Knowledge is extremely valuable in Old Port.
Especially this kind of technical knowledge that can make a living or even work in a company.
Most people usually hide it and refuse to tell others, for fear that others will take away their jobs.
But Yang Jie is just the opposite.
Not only was he willing to teach, but he was also afraid that he would not understand, so he took the trouble to demonstrate to himself and Abe over and over again and point out their mistakes.
Matthew was even a little grateful for this move.
Just as Yang Jie thought, Matthew is a very spiritual boy.
After spending time with Yang Jie for a long time and understanding what Yang Jie did, he probably already knew what Yang Jie wanted to do.
Matthew is personally very willing to follow Yang Jie.
He has even regarded Yang Jie as his teacher, and Yang Jie is indeed very good to him.
This made him start to let down his guard and become more willing to take the initiative to ask questions and learn from Yang Jie.
Matthew went on to say:
"Aren't you afraid of our bad reputation if you do this?"
Yang Jie, the young man whom Matthew regarded as his teacher, shook his head and replied with a smile:
"Matthew, you still haven't grasped the main contradiction."
Well, this is also the teacher's style.
Matthew found that when Yang Jie asked questions, he always liked to use the words "main contradiction" and "secondary contradiction" to describe it.
But after getting used to this somewhat strange way of speaking, Matthew felt that this expression was clearer and clearer.
“Is our problem now a bad reputation?”
After Yang Jie asked, he shook his head and answered proactively:
"No, it's because we don't have a reputation at all."
