Hydeson deeply understood the Eagle King's feeling of powerlessness.

The giant eagle in its early years was invincible.

Even though they suffered heavy blows one after another, they had never been so miserable.

Even in the 70s, when the U.S. dollar encountered the greatest distrust and was even in danger of losing its status as an international currency and was stabbed in the back by its minions, the Eagle was able to turn the tide and take control of the initiative.

What now?
Now almost every step is passive.

It is really tragic to lose the initiative in scientific and technological development.

The eagle never knows when he will be suddenly pushed off the throne.

"Your Majesty, we can't be impatient now. We have to be cautious and deal with it as it happens."

"The other party wants to withdraw their Internet companies from us. Maybe this is an opportunity."

“We have to compete with them for dominance of the Internet.”

"As a first step, I think we should build an Internet cable that connects the whole world, with us as the center."

"Then, we should organize our technology companies to tackle key problems as quickly as possible and build our Internet system based on the Internet protocols they dominate."

"After the other companies withdraw, our companies should also seize the opportunity to follow up and establish similar Internet companies to replace them."

"We must seize control of our domestic Internet."

Hyderson persuaded.

The Eagle King agreed: "If they can really withdraw peacefully, it will be a good thing for us."

The next day, the dragon's negotiation delegation left.

On the same day, several Internet companies issued statements.

The statement was posted on Weibo.

The main content of the statement is to accuse the Eagle side of disgusting persecution and poor business environment.

Moreover, some evidence of Giant Eagle's persecution of Giant Dragon Enterprise was listed.

It gave detailed information about how the Eagle's relevant parties hired some people to initiate frivolous lawsuits and huge claims against the Dragon's Internet companies.

Finally, these companies unanimously stated that Eagle is no longer a suitable place for foreign-funded enterprises to survive.

Therefore, these companies will withdraw from now on and will no longer set up branches in Ying.

All local employees have been laid off immediately and, in accordance with regulations, have been given certain financial compensation.

Moreover, support is provided to outstanding local employees to help them find employment and settle down in Julong.

The server on Eagle's side was shut down and evacuated.

However, Eagle users were not abandoned.

They can still log into websites and software and use Internet services normally.

The company will ensure that every user has normal usage permissions.

However, their traces and information will be left abroad after re-login.

Subsidies and rewards for outstanding self-media practitioners will continue.

The rewards they receive will be directly deposited into their accounts through relevant channels.

This statement shocked the entire Giant Eagle.

In fact, all Giant Eagle users have already made some psychological preparations.

But they never expected that this day would come so soon.

When New York Times editor-in-chief Hallett saw the news, he was shocked.

He quickly sent a reporter named Eric to interview the offices of several Internet companies in Dragon in Eagle.

When Eric arrived at the place, he saw that the staff were evacuating in an orderly manner, with a look of grief on everyone's face.

Eric hurriedly interviewed an employee who was carrying his supplies away: "Sir, what is going on here?"

“Has everyone been fired?”

The male employee sighed and said, "We were not fired."

"It's just that the company was persecuted and could no longer operate, so it had to be dissolved."

"However, even if we disband, each of us can still get five months of severance pay."

"The money has been deposited into each of our accounts."

"It's a sad story."

Eric smacked his lips and said, "Isn't this too sudden?"

"Besides, I feel that Julong's company is very unreliable."

"They have so many users here, and they just left without any plan for the aftermath?"

The male employee immediately widened his eyes: "What do you mean by unreliable?"

"When you are treated unfairly and the other party bullies you for various reasons, so that you not only cannot make money but also have to lose a lot of money, what will you do?"

"Our company was entangled in various inexplicable lawsuits and was ordered to pay more than $100 billion in compensation."

"The other party is just trying to kill our company, right?"

"Now, those people's wishes have come true."

"Our company is shutting down."

“Those guys can party hard.”

Eric pretended to be fair and said, "But, I looked at those lawsuits, and they do have all kinds of serious problems!"

"Couldn't they just make some corrections?"

"They have so many users, and if they abandon them at will, the users will resent them!"

The male employee sneered and said, "Stop talking about morality and justice!"

“We have already made arrangements for our users!”

"Even if we shut down the server here at Eagle, even if our company will be dissolved, all users here at Eagle can still use the software normally. There is no problem at all! Please rest assured, Mr. Reporter."

Eric was surprised: "Is it still possible?"

"But if they don't have a company here in Eagle, they won't be able to reap the benefits here."

“Are they going to let these users use their software services for free?”

The male employee said: “I don’t know about that.”

"One thing I know is that the company owned by the Giant Dragon family is more reliable than the company owned by the Giant Eagle family!"

Eric: "..."

Eric was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, sir, what are you going to do next?"

The male employee said: "I plan to work at Julong."

"Our Dragon Supervisor said that there are more job opportunities in Dragon, and the salary is not lower than that in Eagle."

“The key is that the convenience and cost of living there are much lower than here!”

"Based on a comparison of prices and living costs in Eagle and Dragon. The cost of living here in Eagle is at least three times that of Dragon."

"Since Eagle doesn't value talent and the business environment, then I have no choice but to leave here."

Eric interviewed a few more employees, then he left.

After returning to his workstation, Eric quietly opened Weibo on his computer again. He wanted to see if Weibo could be used normally.

He found that the use of Weibo was very normal and there was no problem at all.

Eric himself often publishes articles and outputs content on Weibo.

He also wanted to earn some extra income.

Because the cost of living here in Eagle is really too high.

It's ridiculously high.

And it is getting higher and higher.

Although Eric earned a good income as a reporter, it was still difficult for him to support his family.

Thanks to Weibo, he has been able to earn more than a thousand dollars a month from Weibo in the past few months.

This is not a small amount of money.

This has greatly improved his quality of life. Eric sighed and thought, I guess I won't have this money in the future?
It seems that I will have to live frugally in the future.

Eric opened the backstage of Weibo and took a look.

He still has some money that he hasn't withdrawn this month.

It's about 50 bucks.

He wanted to see if he could cash out the remaining money.

Eric tried to withdraw cash.

As a result, the page told him that his royalties were successfully withdrawn.

Eric was very surprised and he clicked on the text message from the website.

He wanted to see if any staff responded to his concerns.

His text message read: Dear administrator, I would like to know, after your company withdraws, will you still pay the royalties to us content producers?
These royalties are very important to us.

We rely on this little income to improve our lives.

Eric sent the text message.

He had just sent the text message when he saw the editor-in-chief, Harit, talking to him on QQ.

"Hey Eric! Are you done with the interview, man?"

"How are you going to write this?"

Eric quickly responded: "Boss, I have done sufficient interviews."

"The companies of the Julong family are indeed about to evacuate..."

Eric described what he saw at those businesses.

Harriet said: "This is too sudden."

“It’s simply unacceptable.”

"I don't know what to say."

Eric said, "Boss, how should I write my article?"

Harriet said, "How else can I write it?"

“It can only be written in a negative way.”

“We have to compete for hearts and minds.”

"The dragon's online news and information media has almost pushed us at the New York Times into a corner."

"Now is the time for us to fight back."

Harriet said it righteously.

Of course Eric had no choice but to agree.

He thought, if Weibo continues to pay me, then I will just write two articles.

An article was published in the New York Times to smear them.

Another post was posted on Weibo, firmly supporting and praising them, and criticizing the filthiness of the Giant Eagle politicians.

There's no way, I can only be schizophrenic like this.

I am also doing this to maximize profits.

Of course, psychologically, I sympathize with the plight of companies like Weibo.

They have indeed suffered injustice.

After talking to Harriet on QQ, Eric suddenly saw that his Weibo account seemed to have received an internal message.

Eric clicked on it.

He found that it was the Weibo staff who replied to him.

This reply text message told him: Weibo will continue to operate on Giant Eagle's side.

Those big Vs on Weibo can still continue to receive traffic cash rewards.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Eric."

Eric breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought, as long as he could continue to make money on Weibo, that would be fine.

That night, the news that the North American branches of six Internet companies in Giant Dragon announced their simultaneous withdrawal from Giant Eagle caused a sensation across the United States.

Because Weibo was in an uproar.

This incident became the biggest hot topic.

Many influential bloggers on this software have condemned it in unison.

"I don't know when our Giant Eagle has become so disgusting! Damn it! Why do we have to make things difficult for foreign companies that come here to start businesses? Why do we have to make things difficult for them and make things difficult for them until they are driven away? Our Giant Eagle is being abandoned by big companies around the world! If this continues, we will be completely finished!"

"Giant Eagle elites! What on earth do you want to do? Are you going to fight against more than 200 million people? Haven't you always been advocating globalization? Haven't you always been encouraging foreign investment? What on earth are you afraid of?"

"It's really disgusting! We all know that those elite politicians of Giant Eagle are pursuing personal gain. They are working for the chaebols behind them, but they insist on talking about maintaining the safety of Giant Eagle!"

……

In short, on the Internet, the rulers of Giant Eagle have been scolded badly.

Of course, the Giant Eagle tycoons also control all traditional media.

Those media are still fighting back desperately.

Almost all TV stations immediately began carpet bombing, using all news programs to condemn Weibo and other management companies.

Those TV stations claimed that the withdrawal of the dragon companies was absconding from the crime.

There are even some extremists who say that even if they withdraw, we will issue a global arrest warrant and demand compensation and fines from them that they owe!

Of course, these outrageous remarks also triggered opposition from the public.

Some people organized thousands of people to protest in front of the TV station, and claimed that the commentators and hosts who attacked the Julong online media were disgusting criminals.

This protest swept across the entire Giant Eagle.

Several TV anchors were beaten when they returned home at night.

This also caused them great suffering.

The beautiful scenery on the Giant Eagle side lasted for several days.

Politicians who published malicious attacks on the Dragon Internet media were also protested.

Some people even launched a petition on Weibo to drive those lawmakers out.

This also makes those big-mouthed politicians a little panicked.

Eagle King and his staff had never expected such a situation.

They originally thought that as long as they carried the banner of maintaining the safety of the giant eagle, they could do whatever they wanted.

They even looked down on the ordinary people of Giant Eagle and didn't even take them seriously.

Because, they think, it's just a mob.

They can trick those fools into doing what they want.

But now, the lower-class rednecks who have been educated with happiness for so many years are actually organizing themselves?
Do they have that much power?
This frightened the Eagle King.

The Eagle King urgently convened a meeting of his staff.

However, those aides could not provide any effective solutions.

Seeing that the withdrawal of Giant Eagle's Internet company was about to cause a major disturbance sweeping the whole country, the Eagle King became a little anxious.

He could only make the televised speech in person.

In his speech, he told the people of the country: Giant Eagle welcomes those Internet companies from the Giant Dragon family to settle in! He will do his best to save those companies and try to make them change their minds and stay in Eagle.

He also praised the Internet software of Julong, such as Weibo, QQ, and YouTube.

He claimed that he was also a Weibo user, that he also had an account on Weibo, and that he often posted some messages himself. He also often browsed Weibo himself.

"I also use QQ. This software is very easy to use. All my friends use it to communicate with each other."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have imposed some penalties on them, but those are all normal supervision. We will never persecute them rudely! I promise you!"

The Eagle King swore to the sky. The storm gradually subsided. (End of this chapter)
