Chapter 620: The agreement is finally written! Please vote for me!!
A week later, Kay returned to Los Angeles from Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles...how to say, it was still the same. Although overall order was restored, there were still some small disturbances from time to time.
But overall it is under control, and these are all achieved by a series of bloody facts.
In the past few days when Kai left, the police dispatched three times and eliminated three well-known gangs. They were very ruthless and suffered heavy casualties. Although many people questioned that the Los Angeles Police Department did not need to be so ruthless, since Kai's battle
After those media made them look disgraced, the overall public opinion environment is quite good towards the police.
By the way, regarding the lawsuit that shocked the entire United States, the Federal Supreme Court has accepted it, and the hearing will be held soon. This made the media who originally thought that Kay was just scaring them a little anxious. They actively contacted the Los Angeles Police Department, hoping that
The lawsuit can be dismissed.
But the Los Angeles Police Department is not stupid. This is obviously the resentment of the entire police department directed at the media. At this time, if they force Kai and the others to cancel the lawsuit, they will definitely turn this resentment towards them. After all, too many police officers died in this war.
, at this time, only the top brass of the police department will step forward if they have a hole in their brains.
Even this matter was used to make a fuss by the legal team hired by Kai. These media wanted to use the upper levels of the police department to suppress the normal operation of justice. This was definitely a good use.
Just as the lawyer group was building momentum, Kai also came back.
His response method was simple. He directly found those who put pressure on the police station and arrested them!
Charge, obstruction of justice!
After the lawsuit is accepted by the court, using the power to force the plaintiff to cancel the lawsuit is obstruction of justice! Although those people claimed that they were just having normal out-of-court contacts and trying to reconcile.
But Kai doesn't accept this statement.
If you want to try to reconcile, why go to their boss?
As a result, a group of 'big shots' were arrested, including a member of the Los Angeles City Council, and a state council member was also summoned by the police!
To be honest, what Kai did this time made the bosses of the Los Angeles Police Department very dissatisfied. Because many of these people are their personal relationships! They came to persuade them because they knew the bosses of the police department, but Kai didn't care about the bosses at all.
The intention is to make these people disgraced, which also implies a slap in the face.
It even ruined their reputation.
It's a very simple logic. These people are in contact with the higher-ups of the police station, and they are the only people who know about it. Now that Kai has directly betrayed him regardless of his face, it means that the upper-level people of the police station have betrayed those who came to bring them together. This is not ruining the reputation.
?
Even many powerful people in Los Angeles and California are unhappy with Kay's actions. Kay is breaking the rules of the game!
This kind of exchange of interests is extremely common among them. You don't want to give face to Kai, but you blatantly break the rules and make this kind of transaction public, so that public opinion can force them, powerful people. In their view, this is absolutely unacceptable.
The rhythm of rebellion.
Unfortunately, Kai doesn't care.
In fact, those who are dissatisfied with Kai have nothing to do. Now that Kai is popular, and he is not easy to mess with, no matter how dissatisfied those people are, they can only be dissatisfied.
Even Kai's boss's boss had to hold back. Not only could he not touch Kai in the slightest, but he had to stand up and be on the same side as Kai.
This kind of grievance is rarely experienced by these powerful people.
What are the police? They are their thugs, their tools to maintain order!
When can these tool people actually force them back?
But there is no way, reality is reality. The reality is that Kai is now invincible and invulnerable. They can't fight him, they can only dance for him according to his pace.
In their opinion, because of Kai's existence, they felt that the Los Angeles police had lost control, especially the upper echelons of the police department. The reason why they handed over the names of those people was not because of Kai's appearance.
He was handsome, but he got it by threatening them very forcefully.
Of course, it cannot be said that these guys have done nothing, at least they are thinking of ways to break this situation.
They really thought of a way, that is, let Kai go away, at least not in Los Angeles. Can't they afford to hide if they can't afford to offend him?
However, doing so requires some preparation and must be done step by step.
…
Kai didn't know it yet, but he was on the blacklist and was about to be sent out of the country. At the moment, he was meeting someone at Pepper Pepper.
Jason Jameson, president of the New York Bugle.
The New York Bugle is a very influential newspaper in New York and even across the United States. Their mission is to be independent, and the fact is that they are never biased!
To put it bluntly, they are super powerful!
They like to interpret practice from a different perspective than the general public.
This kind of bold spirit is highly praised by many people and believes that this is the true independent spirit, which gives them very high credibility.
For example, during the last public opinion offensive against the Los Angeles police, the Bugle did not follow the trend and criticize the police. Later, when public opinion reversed, the Bugle stood up again, singing about the importance of freedom of speech and suggesting that the Los Angeles Police Department had framed those reporters.
possibility.
This is The Clarion. The third largest media group in New York.
Their president, Jason Jameson, is the third generation leader of the group and the man who helped bring The Clarion to its current heights.
His status in the public opinion circle is very high, and many reporters regard him as their idol.
It is also because of this that Jason Jameson appears here.
He represents defendant media outlets seeking settlements.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Kai's lawsuit is just asking the media to pay some money, and it's not a big deal.
But the truth is not that simple, money? For the capital behind the media, money has never been a problem. The real problem is credibility. The most important thing for media, especially serious media, is credibility. What you say can make others believe it.
!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Without this, who would listen to the serious media?
So they don't care about money, what they care about is not losing the case!
In fact, the same is true for the punishment Kai gave them, $1.6 billion in compensation?
Haha, what are you thinking? Unless those judges are stupid, they will let Kai's 1.6 billion compensation request be passed. It is true that Kai won't even earn back his lawyer's fees after winning the lawsuit.
Money has never been Kai's wish. After all, there are so many media outlets, and 1.6 billion cents for each one is not too much. At least they can afford it. What really makes them unaffordable is the label of fake news, which is credibility.
Lost!
This is much more expensive than 1.6 billion!
So you can pay for it! But you can’t lose the lawsuit!
In fact, since the lawsuit was accepted by the federal court, the stock price losses of these media companies have exceeded 1.6 billion!
So there was no other way, they had to let this matter end.
So they asked Jason Jameson to come and reconcile with Kai.
This seems strange, after all, the Bugle has nothing to do with the lawsuit. But in fact, it is not the case. The Bugle does have nothing to do with the lawsuit... but everything to do with Jason Jameson!
His family is in the media business, and its business is very large, which means that he owns more than just The Bugle... As for why when mentioning The Bugle, one thinks of The Bugle, it's entirely because of Johnson's
The foundation of the family business is the Bugle, and he also spent the most time on the Bugle, and even his office is at the Bugle headquarters.
Jason is a person involved in the incident, and he is relatively aloof. He has nothing to do with the New York police, so it is best for him to serve as the representative.
"Thank you for coming to see me, Detective Wayne." Jason's image to the outside world has always been that of an arrogant, stubborn and eccentric old man who dares to challenge anyone. But when he met Kai, he himself was very kind and friendly.
There was no arrogance like in public. Perhaps seeing Kai's doubts, Jason quickly explained: "Don't doubt my attitude, I respect you very much. It's not because of your reputation as a superhero, but because of your status as a police officer.
"
"In fact, I prefer your identity as a police officer. The scene of you standing up and fighting those monsters regardless of danger for the people of Los Angeles makes me extremely admired! I don't like the word superhero. I always think that superheroes are lawless.
People who have dangerously powerful abilities to impress people. In contrast, the people who deserve more respect are police officers, firefighters, first responders and other first responders and military personnel like you. Those superheroes easily
It takes away people's attention and appreciation. And those who deserve to be appreciated are always unknown. I think people around the world should be aware of this. This is the responsibility of the newspaper industry."
Jason's stubborn character was immediately apparent.
In fact, Kai doesn't hate Jason's point of view. Because it is the truth. If you look at the recent public opinions, you will know that people enthusiastically discuss superheroes, but there is little coverage of the police officers who died. This is unfair. Even Kai is the same
Superhero, he still thinks so.
Superheroes are heroes, but aren’t those policemen and soldiers who sacrificed their lives?
"I am very grateful for your understanding. On behalf of the police officers who died, I also thank you for your report." Jensen not only said this, but also did it. Among all the big media, it is indeed only the Bugle that paid tribute to those police officers who sacrificed their lives.
The police made a special report.
This is also the reason why Kai is willing to meet Jason. Even though the Bugle also suggested that the police arrest of the reporter was a frame-up, Kai was not too angry because they could not make a mistake. How many of them were frame-ups, and who knows better than Kai?
The conversation between the two went very smoothly after that, and they even felt a bit late for the conversation.
On the one hand, this is because Jason is really good at dealing with people. After all, he works in the media, so it is normal for him to be able to talk. On the other hand, it is also because Jason and Kay do have a bad temper. This may be related to Jason’s experience. Jason’s family
There is a tradition of joining the army. Both Jensen and his fathers have joined the army. Jensen believes that joining the army can exercise a person's discipline and temper a person's will. But what is interesting is that Jensen and his fathers also feel that joining the army
Serving as a senior officer in the army will make a military career less pure, so none of the men in their family have served as senior officers. Basically, if they really want to be promoted, they will choose to retire.
A very strange approach.
In short, the two of them chatted happily, but until they broke up, neither of them talked about the lawsuit at all.
This made Pepper feel strange.
"Aren't you here to talk about that lawsuit? Why didn't you file it?"
"Litigation? It's already over." Kai said with a smile.
Pepper opened her eyes and recalled carefully, and found that her memory was not wrong.
"Haha, it seems you have never seen this kind of negotiation." Kai explained: "Why do you think Jason emphasized their family's tradition? He really thought he was too busy. He was thinking about my guarantee! What he said before
Duan's words to the superheroes and policemen are also putting conditions on me. In the future, they will treat us more fairly and even favor us. I acknowledge his contribution, which means I agree."
Pepper is also someone who has experienced many negotiations, and he immediately understood after this explanation.
They just said it very vaguely.
And Pepper quickly understood why he was so cryptic, it was because of the media. They had bowed their heads, but they still had to keep their face. This was related to the issue of credibility.
"What's next?" Pepper asked.
"Of course we have to rely on lawyers to negotiate. Otherwise, why would I spend so much money?"
After reaching an agreement, the compensation is just a trivial matter. Kai doesn't have to worry about it. Although it won't be as scary as 1.6 billion, it is definitely a happy figure. Those police officers who were framed will receive a large amount of compensation, and Kai will also
Get what you want. Everyone is happy.
Some people say, haven’t those unscrupulous media learned their lesson?
This is indeed true, but one fact needs to be emphasized here. That is, Kai can indeed make the capital behind the media pay a price, but it is impossible to completely defeat them. This is a capital society, and offending the government is not as terrifying as offending capital.
Let them remember that in the future, Nakai and the Los Angeles police really can't make any mistakes, otherwise they will wait to be humanely destroyed by public opinion.
Kai's purpose was never to vent his anger, but to strive for a sufficiently tolerant public opinion environment for himself and the police. Now that he has achieved it and achieved his goal, there is no need to continue wasting time.
Pepper obviously understands this, otherwise he wouldn't come to help.
She showed a reassuring smile: "I thought you were continuing the stalemate, which made me worry for so long."
As she said this, Pepper thought of something: "By the way, Natalie is still waiting for you to call her. Really, Kai, I think you guys get along very well and you can have more contact with her."
Kai smiled: "You are my friend, not my mother. You don't need to care so much about my private life. This will make me misunderstand. I don't want to be jealous of that idiot Tony."
Only Kai in this world can call Tony an idiot so casually...
Pepper rolled her eyes at Kai with a beautiful look, then took her bag and prepared to leave.
"Aren't you going to have dinner with me?"
"I made a date with that idiot you're talking about, so maybe next time! But Natalie is free."
"Then thank you very much. Well, since you don't plan to accompany me, I'd better go find Natalie." Kai said.
