Chapter 3073

The Strait of Malacca is the traditional sphere of influence that the Portuguese consider themselves, while the west coast of North America is the territory of their old rivals, the Spaniards.If he can divert Haihan's attention from the Straits of Malacca to the west coast of North America through public opinion means, he can not only protect his own interests, but also attack his competitors with a knife.

The only question is whether this method of channeling public opinion can actually influence the executive committee to change the situation in Portugal's favor.

Of course, from Tan Tianming's standpoint, he certainly did not want the executive committee to be influenced by the Portuguese to make adjustments to the South China Sea's strategy that were not conducive to Xingdao.

Xing Tao managed to win the opportunity to get to know his hands and feet, and now he has just started, how can he stop there.

Ning Qi has seen countless people, how can he not see Tan Tianming's careful thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, all the decisions of the Executive Committee are based on the national interests of our country, and will not be so easily influenced by outsiders. Tricks. When and what to do, it is all at our own pace, and it is not so easy to interfere with our development."

Tan Tianming felt a little relieved, but he was still extremely dissatisfied with the Portuguese's actions: "My lord, the Portuguese have repeatedly found someone to write articles to slander the Sing Tao District. This is undoubtedly interfering in our country's internal affairs in disguise. If you continue to If they are allowed to act recklessly without being punished, these ignorant guys will probably go too far in their actions in the future."

Ning Qi asked back: "Then what do you want?"

Tan Tianming said: "Punish the unscrupulous literati who work for Portugal, so as to make an example to others. At the same time, we must also warn the Portuguese and ask them not to do similar behavior again."

Ning Qi said: "I remember explaining to you last time, why the government won't intervene, it seems that you forgot."

The last time Tan Tianming approached Ning Qi to report Portugal's attempt to guide public opinion, he also asked the authorities to deal with it, but Ning Qi didn't think it was necessary to deal with such a trivial matter with great fanfare.

Tan Tianming waited to say more, Ning Qi said again: "You didn't even understand the real purpose of the Portuguese, you just thought of solving the problem in a simple and rude way. Doing this can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Think about it when you go back Think about what is the root of the problem and how to solve it completely.”

Tan Tianming was powerless to defend himself now. Although he had learned from Huo Dechuan that the instigator behind the scenes was a Portuguese, it was only after Ning Qi's guidance that he understood the other party's purpose.And Ning Qi was obviously dissatisfied with his analysis ability, so he didn't plan to give him more support on this matter.

Although Tan Tianming encountered a setback in Ningqi, he was not discouraged.Anyway, Ning Qi pointed out the direction for him, but he had to explore the next road by himself.

What is the root of the problem? It is actually not difficult to answer. The reason why the Portuguese used this method to slander the Sing Tao authorities is of course the conflict of interests between the two parties in the Malacca area.

As long as the Sing Tao authorities have plans to expand their sphere of influence, the conflict of interests between the two parties cannot be eliminated.However, the Portuguese knew that their strength was limited, and they did not dare to fight against the Xingdao authorities by force. They could only use such soft methods to influence the decision-making of Haihan's senior management.

To put it bluntly, the Portuguese still had illusions about regaining control of the Straits of Malacca, and refused to accept the fact that Haihan had come from behind.To solve the current troubles, it is necessary to try to break the illusion of the Portuguese and make them realize that whether it is to use public opinion to influence the executive committee or to regain control of the Strait of Malacca, it is an impossible goal.

But failed to win support from high-level officials, Tan Tianming's attempt to solve the problem from the perspective of diplomatic relations between the two countries has already failed, and he himself is not qualified to negotiate with the Portuguese, so he can only find other ways.

Ning Qi has already said that simple and rude solutions are not advisable, Tan Tianming knows this is a warning to himself not to try to use some unconventional or even illegal means.

Then there are not many options left to choose from. After a long circle, it seems that we can only start from the field of propaganda.It's just that Tan Tianming doesn't have professionals in this field around him, and if he wants to fight his opponent with fire, he seems to have no way to start.

In desperation, Tan Tianming had no choice but to find Huo Dechuan again and explain his intentions to him.

Naturally, Huo Dechuan would not let this big door-to-door deal go away easily, and immediately patted his chest and told Tan Tianming that he could handle it on his behalf, ensuring that articles would appear in major newspapers soon.

Tan Tianming said: "Fu Qiqiang is a man of bad character. He changes the rudder according to the wind and is capricious. If you can use him, use him as little as possible."

Huo De preached: "But this person is easy to collect money to do things, and he has a good relationship with the newspaper. The probability of the article being adopted is high. Hiring him can get twice the result with half the effort. Brother Tan, don't be too arrogant."

Tan Tianming waved his hand and said, "He is not the only person in Sanya who relies on pens to make a living. You can try to find a few more people. Anyway, as long as the articles are published in the newspapers, I will pay for them. Also, I think just publishing a few articles in the newspapers I am afraid that the effect of a non-painful article is only so-so, you can help me with an idea, there is no other way to use it."

Huo Dechuan is really looking forward to this. If Tan Tianming wants to make a big move, he will have to invest more funds, and as the undertaker, he will naturally have more money to earn.

However, Tan Tianming hoped that there could be other means of propaganda besides newspapers, which would neither violate the laws of the country nor cause diplomatic disputes.

Huo Dechuan pondered for a moment, and soon came up with an idea: "brother Tan, after all, only a small group of people know how to read newspapers. If you want to have a big enough publicity effect, you have to try to get more people involved. Especially those who don’t usually read newspapers at all.”

Tan Tianming nodded slightly and said: "Brother Huo's words are reasonable, and my younger brother is all ears."

Huo De heard that he affirmed his idea, and continued: "The key here is to win more support from the domestic people for Xingdao. If we can give some practical benefits to the people, this should not be difficult to achieve. .”

Tan Tianming frowned and said, "But I, Xingdao, have limited financial resources. If I want to give the people enough benefits, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend that much money."

Huo Dechuan waved his hand and said: "Brother Tan is thinking about it. Not everyone has to be a part of the benefit, as long as it can make people feel that they are entitled to it. Only by letting the people spontaneously promote Xingdao can we achieve the greatest benefit." Good results."

Tan Tianming became more and more confused: "How to do this?"

Huo De preached: "This matter is not difficult, let me explain it for my brother."
