Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 525
As the influence of the incident gradually expanded, it wasn't just Wang Zhidong who was disturbed by Lu Yiming's talk show.

When he arrived in the capital, Joe Burt, who had just got off the plane, soon got the news from his assistant.

He was already in a bad mood, but after watching the talk show, his nose was even crooked, and his mentality almost broke his defenses on the spot.

"Lu Yiming, it's you again!"

Joe Burt suffered a lot from Lu Yiming in the previous investments, so he stopped investing in the industry and went to play the Internet instead.

The Internet industry in Xia Country is developing rapidly, and there are many high-quality companies. In addition, as the world's most watched emerging market, opportunities are everywhere here.

With the gem of Silicon Valley in front of him, Joe Burt is naturally very optimistic about the development of Xia Guo's Internet industry, so he also invested a few funds, one of which was invested in Zha Lang.

I planned to rely on Zhalang to go public and make a fortune, but the stock price turned back and broke.

Joe Burt was naturally furious, and what made him even more angry was that now Lu Yiming was not only tossing around in the stock market, but now he even blatantly bad-mouthed the portal website. Isn't this against him?

Now that the fire is imminent, Joe Burt can't sit still, he didn't go to the hotel where he stayed, and the first time he left the airport, he went straight to Zha Lang's headquarters with his subordinates.

When Wang Zhidong learned that Joe Burt was coming, he didn't dare to neglect, and led the company's executives to greet him.

"Mr. Burt, why don't you call me in advance when you come to Xiaguo? I will pick you up."

Faced with Joe Burt's "basic and food parents", Wang Zhidong was naturally extremely enthusiastic, wishing he could kneel and lick him.

However, in the face of Wang Zhidong's enthusiasm, Joe Burt was not impressed. He didn't even show a perfunctory expression. I said it. I also know about the fact that he used the saltwater fund to short SZL in the US stock market. Now this situation, you must come up with a solution.”

Joe Burt's visit this time doesn't just represent him alone, but the huge American capital forces behind him.

At the beginning, in order to be able to list on NASDAQ, Wang Zhidong signed a gambling agreement with these investors, and it is obvious that this Joe Burt is the agent of these interest groups who came to spur Wang Zhidong, so he spoke unceremoniously, as if The superior orders the subordinate.

However, facing the aggressive Joe Burt, Wang Zhidong was upset, but he didn't dare to explode. He could only nod with a forced smile and said: "Mr. Burt, don't worry, the interests of investors will never be damaged. The setback Zha Lang has encountered so far is only temporary, and I have already thought of a way to deal with Lu Yiming."

It's a pity that Joe Burt didn't care about his act of showing loyalty. Instead, he was deeply suspicious of his words: "Can you deal with Lu Yiming?"

Although Wang Zhidong was so confident that he was about to issue a military order, Joe Burt still had no confidence. After all, if Lu Yiming was so easy to deal with, he would have been pinned to the ground and exploded with a hammer.

But Lu Yiming caused trouble everywhere, and he is still doing well, but Lu Yiming's opponents have suffered a lot.

Faced with Joe Burt's questioning, Wang Zhidong bit the bullet and said, "Of course, give me a chance, and I will definitely prove it to you."

"Okay, then I'll give you another chance."

Although Joe Burt didn't believe it in his heart, but the matter has come to this point, there is no other way, he can only hope that "the people of the Xia Kingdom understand the people of the Xia Kingdom better", and come to use China to control China.

But in fact, Wang Zhidong's scalp is numb from being beaten by Lu Yiming at the moment, how can there be any way to deal with Lu Yiming?
The reason why I say this is just delaying time.

Even if you really want to find Lu Yiming's flaws, it will take time.

Next, Joe Burt learned about Zhalang's operations and left with an excuse.

On the car leaving Zlang headquarters, Joe Burt's assistant, Lucien Fogg, asked, "Are we really going to give Wang Zhidong another chance?"

Joe Burt, who has always been very elegant and gentlemanly in front of his subordinates, immediately said violently like a powder keg that was lit: "Give me a chance, Lu Yiming said that the portal website is not working, Do you think I should trust Lu Yiming or Wang Zhidong?"

Although Joe Burt had always disliked Lu Yiming, and the two had conflicts of interest several times, the more they were opponents, the more they knew how powerful Lu Yiming was.

Therefore, when Lu Yiming made a judgment and said that the portal website had no future, although Joe Burt might not agree with this point of view, he dared not completely disbelieve it.

After all, so far, Lu Yiming hasn't missed it.

If he was right this time, wouldn't he be a blood loss as an investor?
As the saying goes, the shadow of a famous tree, Lu Yiming's experience along the way, is so legendary and amazing that even if he is Lu Yiming's opponent, he has to often study Lu Yiming's action direction to give a certain degree of reference.

What's more, in the current market situation, Sina, as an Internet company, has already become a bad asset. Joe Burt has no nostalgia in his heart, and immediately told Lucian Falk: "Hurry up and find someone, I don't care Whether it's writing articles or appearing on TV shows, in short, you must stir up the popularity of the portal website and let everyone believe that the portal website can still be saved, and the predicament is only temporary."

Lucian Fogg was puzzled and asked, "But sir, didn't you agree with Lu Yiming's point of view more?"

Joe Burt scolded: "You are stupid, because I agree with his point of view, so I have to find a way to find someone to take over the offer as soon as possible. If we don't stir up the heat, where can we find a fool to take over our offer? The company is losing money. Did you pay for the money?"

Joe Burt's words made Lucien Falk slander: The capitalists are really sinister to the extreme, and they want to recover their losses in this way, which is simply too insidious.

But anyway, he was not a fool to accept the order, so he immediately picked up the phone and started to implement the matter according to Joe Burt's instructions.

Zhong Hai, in his studio.

Peng Dingguo finished writing another column. After reading it through himself, he felt very satisfied, so he found the envelope, wrote the receiving information, and planned to go out to deliver it.

In the end, before his ass left the bench, the phone on the table rang.When Peng Dingguo picked it up, he found that it was Deng Xiaobing from the "Financial Daily".

"Professor Peng, I'm sorry to inform you that your column may be suspended for a while."

When Peng Dingguo heard this, he became anxious immediately, and quickly asked: "Why?"

Losing his status as a columnist is not only a problem of reduced income, but also a sharp drop in his reputation.

Deng Xiaobing was speechless. In fact, both of them knew the real reason, but it would be too embarrassing to say it.

In line with the idea of ​​"leave a line today so that we can meet later", Deng Xiaobing tried his best to keep his tone as soft as possible, and said in a tactful tone: "Professor Peng, this is the decision of the newspaper's leadership, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Peng Dingguo couldn't bear to beg for help, so he could only hang up the phone angrily.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Peng Dingguo's face changed drastically, and he cursed loudly: "Lu Yiming, I'm fucking you, you are a fucking evil spirit, even an old man like me, you **** ..."

The three-month betting contract actually ended two weeks ago, and Lu Yiming's predictions on the stock market were all proved to be incomparably correct in the end.

Even on the point of the Internet winter in the stock market, it is even more frighteningly accurate, and Patten's prediction is simply incomparable.

But if Peng Dingguo called Lu Yiming's father in front of everyone, how could he say that?

So in the recent period, Peng Dingguo has completely turned on the ostrich mode, and he didn't mention a word about the original bet, as if as long as he pretended to be dead, he could pretend that nothing happened.

But he can pretend to be dead, but others will not accompany him all the way to the dark.

As an influential media in Zhonghai, "Financial Daily" cut off Peng Dingguo without hesitation, and other media organizations did the same, treating him like a plague god.

Today's Peng Dingguo can't participate in the program, and now he can't even publish articles. He has no source of income at all, which makes his life suddenly sad.

Peng Dingguo was enjoying the scolding, when the phone rang again, Peng Dingguo became excited, picked up the receiver and said, "Xiao Deng, did the newspaper agree with me to publish the article?"

On the other end of the phone, it was not Deng Xiaobing's voice, but a strange middle-aged man's voice: "Hello, Professor Peng, I'm Jin Mai from the Maigu Fund."

Peng Dingguo, who realized that he had identified the wrong person, suddenly felt very embarrassed, and quickly said: "Ah, I'm sorry, I thought it was my editor calling. Hello, Mr. Jin, what can I do for you? "

Jin Mai said: "It's like this. We want to ask you to write an article about the business potential of the portal website. Are you willing to accept this task? I'm not afraid to tell you in advance that the content of this article will be the same as that of Lu's richest man. Opinions differ, and if necessary, you may even be asked to come out and sing the opposite, so please consider carefully whether to accept it. Of course, in terms of remuneration, we will definitely satisfy you."

When he heard that he was going to fight Lu Yiming, Peng Dingguo felt a little guilty, after all, he had been slapped in the face once before.

But in his current situation, he couldn't help being picky, and being able to openly hate Lu Yiming would also allow him to vent his anger. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think about it, I'll take it."

But then, Peng Dingguo had some concerns, and said: "However, my ugly words are up front. Now it is difficult for my articles to be published in newspapers and magazines, and no TV station dares to ask me to do a program. If I write an article and fail to publish it, you can’t blame me.”

Jin Mai smiled and said: "I know this, you just need to write it boldly, and we will help him solve other questions by the Maigu Fund."

Regarding Peng Dingguo's situation, Jin Mai had already done an investigation, otherwise he wouldn't have come to him on purpose.

With Lu Yiming's current state of arrogance, it is not easy to find an expert and scholar in China who dare to confront him head-on.

After all, no one can say for sure whether the portal website has any commercial potential. If it is wrong, and it is still in front of everyone in the whole country, it will be directly killed.

Few people would be willing to gamble their career future for a small profit. After all, who would be a fool if they could become an expert professor?
But Joe Burt was unwilling to show too many advantages, so he chose Peng Dingguo.

Right now, Peng Dingguo, an out-of-date expert who has already suffered a crushing defeat, is still in the hands of Lu Yiming. The two already have enmity, so he dared to risk everything to openly contradict Lu Yiming.

Furi University.

The turmoil from the outside world did not have any impact on Lu Yiming.After school started, all his thoughts were devoted to his studies.

In his previous life, his computer level was basically obtained by self-study and practice, which can be said to be a wild way.But after being reborn, he is now a serious college student in the Computer Department of Furi University.With a mature mind, he cherishes this learning opportunity very much, so he works very hard. Not only does he quickly make up for the missed courses, but he often researches new gadgets and conducts self-study by himself.

Reading is always the easiest and fairest way to achieve class leaps in this world, and there is no one.

Even if Lu Yiming doesn't need a diploma from Fuda now, it doesn't mean he doesn't need knowledge.

One day, Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue were studying in the library when the phone rang. After Lu Yiming connected, he found out that it was Kong Sheng from Jingyi Real Estate.

"Mr. Lu, Yan's Garden has been refurbished and is ready for occupancy."

Zhang Jin went back and forth to Baiyun to deal with some problems of Lean Real Estate, so his subordinate Kong Sheng, who had always been valued by him, was left in Zhonghai to lead the construction team.

After all, there are too many tricks in decoration. This is the new home of the big boss, and there must be no accidents. Therefore, a trustworthy person must be left to watch in person, so as to be at ease.

And Kong Sheng is also very sincere about such an opportunity to get in touch with the big boss at close range, and has always shown himself very hard.

Hearing that Yan's garden has been refurbished and ready to move in, Lu Yiming immediately beamed with joy and said, "Manager Kong, you've worked hard during this time."

Kong Sheng was flattered, and hurriedly said: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work. Mr. Lu, see when you have time to come and take a look. If there is any dissatisfaction, I will ask someone to correct it immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming said to Shi Qingxue: "The garden of Yan's family has been refurbished, so call over there and let us have a look. Come on, let's take a look."

"Okay."

Shi Qingxue was also very happy. Although the accommodation conditions at Furi University were not bad, where could I live in a big villa?

"Go back to the dormitory and put away the books."

"Ah."

Lu Yiming returned to the dormitory, put down his books, changed into a loose coat, and was about to go out when Ni Cong walked in with a stack of magazines.Seeing Lu Yiming, Ni Cong said, "Are you there? I was just about to look for you. Here, I just bought what I saw at the newsstand, and it's full of insults to you."

Lu Yiming immediately thought of Zha Lang, and said, "Who is scolding me? Could it be that Wang Zhidong from Zha Lang? That guy is in danger now, so he still has the heart to scold me?"

Ni Cong said: "No, I think the author's signature is Peng Dingguo. I seem to have a little impression of this name. Is it the guy who called you Dad when he lost a bet with you last time?"

Lu Yiming laughed as soon as he heard it: "Peng Dingguo? Haha, I almost forgot about it if you didn't mention the bet. This guy still dares to come out to tease me now? Is that why you want to call me Dad in front of everyone?" ? Look, let me see what he wrote."

He took a newspaper from Ni Cong's hand, and soon saw the article written by Peng Dingguo.

The title alone is quite simple and rude: ""The portal has no future? It's nonsense!""

It has to be said that Peng Dingguo's writing skills are quite sharp to become a columnist. In the article, he sneered at Lu Yiming's previous remarks.

"Lu's richest man said that ordinary Internet users also have the right to express themselves, but in the current Xia Kingdom, the per capita GDP is only more than 900 US dollars, the average monthly salary is only about 1000 yuan, and the per capita disposable income is even lower than 3000 yuan. But how much is a computer? ? Tens of thousands of dollars, I just want to ask, can the ordinary netizens in the mouth of Lu’s richest man afford a computer?”

"And people who don't even have a computer, how can they express their thoughts online? The words of the richest man in Lu reminded me of an allusion in ancient times—why not eat minced meat."

I have to say that Peng Dingguo's words are factual and reasonable, and they have reached everyone's heart.

These days, a monthly salary of 1000 yuan has to be averaged. In fact, the real income of most ordinary people will only be lower than this figure. Looking across the country, monthly salaries of [-] or [-] yuan abound.For most people, computers are still a luxury.

What Lu Yiming is talking about is the rapid spread of the Internet, computers have entered thousands of households, and everyone can freely and conveniently obtain information and express opinions on the Internet.

This is contrary to everyone's current cognition and feelings.

It's like the people in the 21s of the 20st century, listening to a certain sound, seeing that everyone in it is living a life of luxury and luxury, and even a steamed bun has to be divided into three meals.

Especially the older generation, who are getting older, agree with Peng Dingguo's statement.

Let alone now, even decades later, there will be a lot of people who don't know how to use computers.

Therefore, after reading this article, Lu Yiming smiled: "I didn't expect this 'rebellious son' of mine to have something, although not much."

"Rebel?"

Ni Cong didn't understand for a while.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Didn't I ask him to call me daddy when he lost the bet last time? Although I definitely don't recognize this rebellious guy, he can't help calling 'Daddy' this time."

Ni Cong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's been a while, you still have the mood to joke."

He pointed to the end of the article written by Peng Dingguo, and said: "Look here, Peng Dingguo wants to engage in a debate with you, and asks if you dare to fight."

Afterwards, he took out several other newspapers and said, "Look at these newspapers again. The content on them is all about Peng Dingguo, criticizing your words so falsely and emptyly. I think that, After you read it, come to study whether you want to recognize this traitor."

Lu Yiming has long been familiar with the direction of the Internet in the future, and he has a gully in his chest, so he is naturally not afraid of any controversy.On the contrary, he is worried that he will not have the opportunity to express his views. Now that Peng Dingguo says he wants to have a debate with him, he can't wait for it.

"If he wants to fight, then fight!"
