Chapter 4173
In Spencer's opinion, it did not matter if they were misunderstood but as long as they could lift this misunderstanding as soon as possible, they would often be able to get good results instead. Take love movies from all over the world as an example. The male and female protagonists would often come up with a prejudice against each other, and they would often fall in love after breaking that prejudice. Such is human nature.
Therefore, Spencer felt that this was a good opportunity for public relations crisis management.
As long as he could seize this opportunity to give Xavion the persona of a great father, Xavion would not only be able to turn things around but this would also bring the Fox family to a better mass base.
At this time, his younger brother, Steton, spoke up. "Elder Brother, don't you think that inviting the reporters directly to our house is a little too elaborate? Even if the kidnappers aren't provoked, others would think that we're doing this on purpose." Spencer asked rhetorically, "Then what would you do instead?"
Steton hurriedly offered his advice. "Elder Brother, in my opinion, we should first release the news that Homer had been kidnapped and that Xavion was trying to save him through a third party just like in the video. After that, we will add fuel to the flames and let the news ferment. At that time, the media will definitely take the initiative to find us and we can then move forward with the flow to accept an interview to reveal the truth of the matter to the public."
Spencer nodded repeatedly and said," That's a good idea! It would look more natural that way!"
When Xavion heard this, he hurriedly said," Dad! There were a lot of people watching the scene and some of them even took out their cell phones to film videos. They must have taken a video of the entire process, especially when I poured out the content of the box. If that video is uploaded on the internet, this matter will be settled!"
Spencer said immediately, "Go on and offer a reward of one hundred thousand US dollars to film anyone who filmed the video and posts it on the internet!"
"Okay!" Xavion hurriedly said, "I'll go and make the arrangements now!"
After saying that, Xavion remembered something and asked, "Dad, I've got that woman under control. Should we interrogate her?"
"Let her go. There's no point." Spencer waved his hand and said, "That woman is clearly just a pawn and it is impossible for us to get any information even if she was killed."NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Xavion nodded and replied, "Okay, Dad. I will pass on the instructions."
Just as Xavion was about to do what Spencer had said-to look for the passerby who had taken the video at the scene he suddenly received a text message from an unfamiliar phone number.
The text message read: "If you want your son to live, prepare two hundred billion US dollars in cryptocurrency within the next forty eight hours. Otherwise, you can wait to collect your son's corpse!" Xavion was stunned and he blurted out, " Dad... Those people said... They want two hundred billion US dollars before they will release Homer..."
"How much?!" Spencer frowned and asked coldly "Two hundred billion US dollars?! Are these people f eking out of their minds?! What kind off eking kidnapper would dare to ask for two hundred billion US dollars?!"
Xavion was also shocked. What was the concept of two hundred billion US dollars? Based on the current share price, they would be able to buy two huge corporations with it!
Steton, who was also dumbfounded,
could not help muttering, "This is not fucking sincere at all. They'd still be a little intelligent if they'd asked for less, for instance, a billion or two billion US dollars. At this moment when they're asking for two hundred billion US dollars, I really do not know how to react anymore..."
Spencer said coldly, "Tell them that I will be willing to pay them two hundred billion US dollars' worth of cryptocurrency as long as they release Homer!"
Xavion immediately called the other party back but without exception, the cell phone was also turned off.
Spencer said coldly, "These b*stards are not even giving us a chance to bargain at all! Do they really think that they can extort two hundred billion US dollars by kidnapping someone from the Fox family?" Xavion asked him, "Dad...What should we do now? The other party is only giving us forty-eight hours..."
Spencer had a gloomy expression
on his face as he said, "Be calm! Since the other party has given us forty-eight hours, then we should not care about him. For these forty -eight hours, the first thing that we should do is to reverse the public opinion and secondly, we should think of every way to find these Japanese ninjas! If we cannot do so, we'll send some men to Japan and arrest all of their relatives! I'll kill their whole family if they dare to kill Homer!"
Very soon, the Fox family began its own public relations crisis management.
