Jiang Cheng nodded: "Exactly. Think about it: a regular person buys a car, maybe you've had it for a year or two, and now you find out it doesn't meet emission requirements and can't be on the road. What do you think most people's subconscious reaction would be?"
Qiao Yinyin thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe they'd first feel they're extremely unlucky, wondering why something like this happened to them."
"Right. They might call the car dealer, but the answer they get would likely be the same—no problems, the warranty period has passed. At that point, most people will start panicking and following information online, and a small portion might even pray it's not true."
Qiao Yinyin nodded in deep agreement and said slowly: "You're right. Most ordinary people are indeed like that. If it were the old me, I might be the same. After all, if I only have this one car and it really can't be on the road, what would I do?"
"From 2017 until today, Conglomerate's cumulative sales in the Huaxia market have reached 4,207,100 units. This sales volume accounts for nearly 40% of their group's total global sales last year. Such a large car company doesn't worry about sales and won't care at all about what happens to these consumers."
Qiao Yinyin frowned and replied: "According to what you're saying, it's indeed difficult... giving them a heavy blow isn't an easy task."
"Exactly. This kind of thing already happened in Pretty Country back in 2015, but two years later, they can still repeatedly do this in Huaxia. So Conglomerate's network in Huaxia is not simple."
The trade secret provided by the system just directly revealed the opponent's weakness to Jiang Cheng.
But as for the specific operation, how to fleece them for all they're worth, it still depends on Jiang Cheng's maneuvering... After thinking for a while and seeing that Qiao Yinyin hadn't spoken again, Jiang Cheng looked at her in confusion.
Looking at her, he discovered she was so tired she had fallen straight asleep.
After gently settling Qiao Yinyin, Jiang Cheng originally wanted to put down his phone and sleep for a bit too.
But it just so happened that Wang Yuyan's wechat message came through.
Jiang Cheng clicked on the message sent by Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan had sent Jiang Cheng a few photos.
The time difference between Switzerland and Huaxia is about 7 hours.
Right now in Huaxia, it was past two in the afternoon... while for Wang Yuyan far away in Switzerland, it was just seven in the morning... The early morning sunlight filtered through the leaves on the street, casting dappled shadows. Wang Yuyan was seen wearing a thick sweater and a cute hat.
She was sitting at a roadside breakfast shop, drinking coffee while eating bread and some salad, smiling and making a peace sign at the camera.
After looking at a few photos of breakfast, there were a few photos of passersby protesting.
In the pictures, several blonde girls who looked like students were holding large signs covered in dense text.
Although Jiang Cheng couldn't understand the writing on them, one of the Little Girls in the shot caught his special attention; he felt like he had seen her somewhere before.
Wang Yuyan: "darling, good morning. You should have finished lunch by now, right? I'm still having breakfast and getting ready to go to class in a bit."
Jiang Cheng: "Babe, good morning. How are you feeling today? Have you gotten used to it? What are they doing?"
Wang Yuyan: "I'm used to it. The accommodation arranged by the Embassy feels very safe, I like it a lot."
Wang Yuyan: "I heard from the translator that it's a somewhat famous environmental student here holding an environmental-themed protest."
After reading Wang Yuyan's words, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered who this Little Girl with the somewhat misanthropic expression was.
Wasn't this that Swiss girl known as the 'Environmental Protection Girl'?
The reason Jiang Cheng had a deep impression of her...
...was because in his previous life, there was a period when this environmental guardian was in the spotlight across our vast land of Huaxia, receiving much ridicule.
Jiang Cheng took out his phone and searched for the Swiss Environmental Protection Girl.
To his surprise, the related entries displayed on the webpage were pitifully few, only one or two.
The Swiss Environmental Protection Girl, though only 15 years old, had already become a focus of attention due to her series of eye-catching actions.
To urge her home country to attach high importance to environmental protection issues, she skipped class every Friday to protest and sit-in.
Holding a sign that said "School Strike for Climate," she would then sit in front of the parliament building.
Unexpectedly, her act of openly skipping class was not only not criticized much but instead triggered enthusiastic pursuit from many students.
For these children, it was as if they had suddenly found a perfect excuse.
This was a legitimate reason to go out and wander under the guise of protesting, and they didn't even have to attend class.
Thus, the movement started by the "Environmental Protection Girl" began to be sought after by most teenagers.
Now she was already somewhat famous in Switzerland, and some media outlets even went to interview her.
The many environmental appeals proposed by this "Environmental Protection Girl" seemed full of passion, but most of them were quite brain-dead.
For example, whimsically calling for people worldwide to stop eating meat and switch entirely to a vegetarian diet.
Even calling for the closure of factories worldwide for the sake of environmental protection to achieve the goal of reducing environmental pollution.
Most absurdly, saying things like choosing to drop out of school for the environment and so on.
But those ill-intentioned politicians, in order to win over voters, did not hesitate to interact with her under the guise of listening to the true voices of children.
Consequently, environmental organizations in many countries publicly praised her behavior.
However, her actions later began to be exploited by other countries and used as political tools.
From then on, she appeared more and more frequently in various public places.
Delivering impassioned speeches with great eloquence.
In these speeches, she wantonly criticized and blamed other countries.
This naturally included our Huaxia.
Condemning us for polluting the world.
Completely disregarding the truth of the facts.
She didn't even know that the green contribution of our Ant Forest was much better than that of other countries.
