Chapter 216: Slap in the Face

Unfortunately, no matter how angry Edwin was, he couldn’t control the thoughts of every netizen.
As an established family, the Anderson family was mostly involved in industries. They were not involved in the ever-changing internet industry. Therefore, it was obvious that he had received the news late.
If it was before, he wouldn’t care about these things, but now that he had Caroline, he had to do something to protect her.
Thus, Edwin turned around and instructed Oleg, “Contact someone to deal with the matter. At the same time, look for any new media companies that are not doing well or are about to be sold. Acquire them as soon as possible.”
He wanted to form a media monitoring team to keep an eye on the news on the internet.
However, this was obviously not enough. It had to be said that in the new media era, he had entered too late. Therefore, if he wanted to gain a say in this industry as soon as possible, it would be much faster to directly participate in the cake than to build a new company from scratch.

Therefore, he called his investment team. “Quickly evaluate the situation of the major online platforms and then think of a way to buy their shares. The more, the better.”
Caroline guessed what he was going to do from the two calls he made. She stopped him and said, “These are just trivial matters. I don’t care about these people’s slander. They can’t hurt me in the slightest, so you don’t have to make a big fuss about it.”
Edwin said, “The reason why I’m doing this is not just for your sake. In fact, I’ve already considered this problem before. Now is the information age. Our enterprise development has to keep pace with it. Therefore, even if the Anderson family did not develop the internet industry, they have to give themselves some control over public opinion. Otherwise, if we completely lose this position, it will be very disadvantageous to the Anderson family.”
Caroline didn’t know much about the Anderson family’s business map, and she didn’t know much about business management, so she didn’t notice anything unusual when she heard Edwin’s words, so she didn’t insist on opposing it.
Only Oleg, who was standing at the side, complained in his heart after hearing this.
Old family businesses like the Anderson family were very overbearing in doing business. They could even monopolize the entire industry and nibble away at all kinds of capital. However, in public opinion, everyone had always maintained a low-key and conservative style.
For example, many of the older families looked down on new industries such as online information, thinking that they were just a bubble economy.
Therefore, many people did not like to expose themselves too much on the internet. Only some young people who liked to be in the limelight would wantonly share all kinds of information about themselves on the internet platform.
Like Edwin, although he had a personal social media account, he was not keen on posting any information about himself on it.
Currently, the Anderson family’s main external information window was still the official accounts and company websites of the various companies under their name.
Caroline’s high-profile behavior on the internet did not conform to the preferences and intentions of these old families. This was also one of the reasons why so many people wanted to ruin Caroline’s reputation on the internet.
They wanted to use this to prick the Anderson family’s nerves and get them to get rid of Caroline.
That was what the outsiders thought, and even Oleg thought so.
However, reality immediately slapped him in the face. As he thought about this, he received a call from George the next second.
“Oleg, Grandma said she wants to register a personal social media account. She wants to ask how to verify her identity after registering this account.”
Oleg suspected that he had been through too much this morning, so he was hallucinating. He asked again, “Sorry, Young Master George, what did you just say? I didn’t hear it clearly. Can you repeat it again?”
“Hey, Oleg, why is your hearing deteriorating at such a young age? If you’re not feeling well, you should go to the doctor quickly.” After George complained, he repeated what had happened.
At this point, Oleg confirmed that he had not heard wrongly, but he still could not believe it. “Are you sure you’re talking about Madam Joline?”
“Yes, yes, Oleg. I don’t want to repeat myself a third time. Do you understand what I mean?” George sounded impatient.
George thought to himself, ‘I was dragged out of bed early in the morning just to help her open a social account, and I can’t refuse. No one has a good temper..’
