They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 266: Incompetent and Furious

Wang Xing put down the phone with a thoughtful expression.

After all, his family owns a cement factory. Almost all the cement in a prefecture-level city is supplied by his factory. He is also a well-known entrepreneur in the local area. He has been exposed to it since he was a child and knows very well that if the money is not received in the account, it is never easy to get it back.

So Wang Xing could feel that things would definitely not be as simple as Zhang Wei said. Perhaps there would be a series of more games behind the matter.

When his companion saw Wang Xing put down the phone, he immediately asked, "How is it going? What did Zhang Wei say? When will the money arrive?"

"Zhang Wei said that the funds had encountered some problems and were frozen by financial regulatory authorities and cannot be transferred for the time being." Wang Xing briefly recounted the reasons given by Zhang Wei.

"Is this true? Going to Germany to watch the World Cup and betting on Italy to win the championship, why does it sound so unreal to me?"

"Could it be that Zhang Wei doesn't want to pay and is deliberately finding an excuse to cheat you?"

"I don't think it's true either. Even if he really bet on Italy to win the championship, he can't make a million euros! According to the 1 to 13 odds he mentioned, he would have to buy lottery tickets worth nearly euros. Who would buy so much?"

Everyone expressed doubts, and Wang Xing said, "After all, Zhang Wei is my junior fellow student at Tsinghua University, so he shouldn't lie about something like this!"

Another person said: "If he really won so much money, it would definitely be reported in foreign news. Wait, I'll search it on Google!"

A moment later, the man walked in with a laptop.

"I actually found some relevant news. What Zhang Wei said might be true!"

He put his laptop on the table and everyone gathered around him immediately.

This is a report from the British media, which was reprinted from a German media.

Several people at the scene graduated from prestigious universities, either majoring in electrical engineering or computer science, and had a minimum English proficiency level of CET-6, so they could understand this English report.

"A Chinese tourist named Mr. Zhang bought Italy to win the championship at odds of 1 to 13 and won a prize of million euros! Mr. Zhang, could he be Zhang Wei?"

"What a pity, there are no photos in the news, only text, otherwise we could have confirmed whether it was Zhang Wei."

"Is this news wrong? Isn't it 1 million euros? How come it's 10 million euros?"

"That one million euros is Zhang Wei's investment in us. He made 10 million, and he invested one million in us, isn't that okay?"

"Ten million euros is equivalent to 100 million RMB. My God, how old is Zhang Wei, and he is actually a billionaire! You can't judge a person by his appearance!"

"Since he already has 100 million, he shouldn't owe us these few million! It seems that what he said about the temporary freezing of funds is probably true."

The group of people instantly dispelled their doubts.

……

Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, and the second payment still hadn't arrived. At this time, the pressure on the campus network's server increased dramatically, and the web page would freeze during the user login peak period from 6 to 9 pm every day.

Moreover, the number of users is still increasing rapidly, and with it, the amount of data that needs to be stored and processed is also increasing. If this continues, the server may not be able to handle it, and the entire website will be on the verge of collapse.

The operation team of the campus network finally couldn't sit still anymore, so Wang Xing had to call Zhang Wei again and urged Zhang Wei to transfer the money as soon as possible.

"Brother, my funds have not been unfrozen yet!" Zhang Wei responded calmly.

"You said last time that you asked the German tax department to issue a certificate. Hasn't it been issued yet?" Wang Xing asked anxiously.

"The certificate has been issued, but the financial regulatory authorities still need to verify it. I called to ask for it, and they said they were verifying it. I urged them to do it more quickly, and they said that your hundreds of thousands of euros are nothing, and they have hundreds of millions of dollars waiting to be reviewed.

People with tens of millions of dollars can wait, so why can't you with hundreds of thousands of dollars wait? The regulatory authorities said so, and I really can't say anything more. I have no other choice but to wait." Zhang Wei said helplessly.

"But our campus network can't wait any longer. During the daily peak hours, the server pressure is very high, and the data to be processed is still increasing. The campus network must expand its servers. We have already negotiated with the server and broadband suppliers, and we are just waiting for the funds to arrive."

"Why don't you just hold on a little longer? Maybe in two or three days, the financial regulatory authorities will give the go-ahead!" Zhang Wei's tone was still calm.

"It's not that we can't hold on, but the server's carrying capacity has its limits after all. It's been working days recently, so the situation is okay, but I'm worried about the holidays, when there will be a lot of people online. I'm worried that the server won't be able to handle it and the website will crash." Wang Xing continued.

"Your concerns are reasonable. When I was working on web games, I also found that there were more people online on weekends and holidays, and there was indeed pressure on the server and broadband."

"So, junior brother, you'd better transfer your second installment of funds as soon as possible, otherwise I'm really worried that you won't be able to hold on." Wang Xing continued to advise.

"Okay, I'll call and ask later to see when the funds can be reviewed." Zhang Wei agreed readily.

……

A few days later, on Saturday at 8pm, the peak Internet access time, the campus network received its largest wave of traffic since then. The server was instantly overloaded, and as a result, users were stuck and couldn't even load photos.

Early the next morning, Wang Xing called directly. This time he did not mention the money, but wanted to invite Zhang Wei to dinner. It was obvious that he intended to get things done over the dinner table.

Zhang Wei did not refuse and agreed readily.

However, before going to the appointment, he called Yao Xiaoguang first.

"It's the weekend, and I finally got a good night's sleep, but you woke me up again." Yao Xiaoguang was in a bad mood, and continued, "Tell me, what's the matter? If it's not serious, I'll hang up immediately!"

"Brother Xiaoyao, I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dream, it must be something important. The people on campus network asked me to have dinner with them in the evening, they must be here to collect the money, when the time comes, you can do me a favor and play the bad guy!" Zhang Wei said.

"How do you dress up?" Yao Xiaoguang said and yawned.

"I will tell you that I will first borrow 2 million from Weiguang Technology for Xiaonei.com and pay it back later. Then you can complain directly, saying that the Happy Farm that we developed before was not put online on Xiaonei.com, which is not giving face to Weiguang Technology. I will turn on the hands-free mode at that time, and you should try to speak more seriously!"

"This is clearly an offensive job! You don't want to do it yourself, so you push it to me?"

"You are not familiar with Wang Xing and the others, so you must be the one to offend people! I can't afford to lose face!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"Okay then! Send me a text message before you go to the dinner so I can be prepared." Yao Xiaoguang agreed.

In the evening, Zhang Wei came to a private room of a restaurant. Wang Xing and several partners had been waiting for a long time. There were two bottles of Wuliangye on the table. It seemed that Wang Xing had invested a lot of money and planned to treat Zhang Wei with good wine and food, and to have a round-the-clock battle to keep him company under the table.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei is from Jiaodong, where people drink beer like water. When it comes to drinking, he is not afraid of anything. If he really drinks freely, Zhang Wei can drink Wang Xing, who is at the table, down by himself.

After three rounds of drinks, while his mind was still clear, Wang Xing finally talked about the funding issue.

"Junior brother, please really help me this time! If your funds don't come again, our server will really not be able to hold on. Not to mention anything else, the server crashed once last night, and it was so stuck that even the web pages couldn't be refreshed. If such accidents happen a few more times, the campus network will be finished!" Wang Xing said while being a little drunk.

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Wei, waiting for his reply.

Zhang Wei smiled slightly, pretending to be a little drunk, and said, "Brother, you are being too polite. Your business is my business. It's just money. It's easy to talk about! When the regulatory authorities unblock my funds, I will transfer the second and third batches of funds to you!"

"Mr. Zhang, the problem is that we really can't wait any longer! If we don't add more servers, the website will not be able to operate." A person nearby said.

"It's all the fault of the financial regulatory authorities. Their work efficiency is so low!" Zhang Wei pretended to be angry and slammed the table.

"Junior brother, don't be angry. How about you think about it and see if there is any other way to raise some funds first and send it to us to solve our urgent needs." Wang Xing said.

"Other funds are not Euros, but RMB," Zhang Wei replied.

"Why are you still picking at this time? Money is enough!" someone next to him said immediately. However, Wang Xing glared at him, and then he silently shut up and sat back.

Zhang Wei continued, "Here's what I think. I will borrow 2 million RMB from Weiguang Technology in my personal name and give it to you first. When the money from Europe is remitted, I will pay you back the 2 million."

"That's great! With these two million, it is enough for us to upgrade our servers and broadband. Even if we add another 10 million users, it will be more than enough." Wang Xing was immediately delighted.

"But I don't have the final say over Weiguang Technology. Although I am the major shareholder of Weiguang Technology, the company's CEO is Mr. Yao, and he is in charge of all the company's affairs. If I want to borrow money from Weiguang Technology, I also need Mr. Yao's approval."

"Mr. Zhang, look at what you said. Everyone knows that you are the boss of Weiguang Technology and Mr. Yao works for you. As long as you give the order, how could Mr. Yao not listen!" someone next to him said immediately.

Zhang Wei explained: "This situation is similar to your campus network. I have invested a lot of money in your campus network, right? If I want to borrow money from your campus network, don't I have to get your approval?

In modern enterprises, investors only care about dividends and have nothing to do with operations. And borrowing money from a company must go through the finance department, right? If the CEO doesn't approve it, the finance department won't approve it. Without Mr. Yao's signature, even if I get the money, it's still an embezzlement of company property, and I'll have to go to jail for a few days."

When it comes to illegal and criminal issues, others should not say anything.

Zhang Wei took out his cell phone and placed it directly on the table. Then he dialed Yao Xiaoguang's number and turned on the speakerphone. After a few seconds, the call was connected.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, have you eaten?" Yao Xiaoguang's voice came from the phone.

"I'm eating right now. How about you? Have you eaten yet? If not, come over and eat with me." "I've already eaten and am surfing the Internet. Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"It's like this. I invested in Xiaonei.com before. I was planning to transfer the funds from Europe, but it was reviewed by the financial regulatory authorities halfway through, so the funds won't be transferred to my account for a while. I mentioned this to you a few days ago."

"Yes, it has been mentioned. Why? Has the review not been completed yet?" Yao Xiaoguang asked.

"No, I don't know when the review will be completed. But the campus network is in urgent need of funds to expand the server, so I thought about borrowing 2 million from Weiguang Technology in my personal name, and then I will pay it back when the funds arrive in Europe!"

"You want to borrow money from me and invest in Xiaonei.com? No! I don't agree!" Yao Xiaoguang said resolutely.

"Why? It's not like I won't pay the money back. Can't I just write an IOU?" Zhang Wei said immediately.

"Whenever you mention this campus network, I get angry. Last time, we wanted to launch the Happy Farm we developed through the campus network, but they wouldn't let us. We don't need them to operate it. We have our own servers and our own operation team. They just need to open a hyperlink entrance. How difficult can it be? They won't even do this! Now they need to borrow money, and they think of our Weiguang Technology? Why should I lend it to them!"

The cell phone was on speakerphone, so everyone could hear Yao Xiaoguang's complaints. For a moment, many people looked embarrassed.

"I didn't think it was a big deal. It's just launching Happy Farm on the campus network. I'll discuss it with Mr. Wang from the campus network later." Zhang Wei pretended to smooth things over.

"Just a Happy Farm is not enough. We have recently developed a parking space grabbing game. If you want to play, let's play together!"

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Mr. Wang." Zhang Wei paused, then continued, "But you have to promise me that if Xiaonei.com is willing to launch Happy Farm and Grab Parking Space, you have to lend me the two million!"

On the other end of the phone, Yao Xiaoguang pretended to be silent, then said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll just do it for your sake!"

"Okay, I won't delay your surfing the Internet." Zhang Wei said, pressed the hang-up button, and then looked at Wang Xing.

At this time, Wang Xing had already understood that Zhang Wei called Yao Xiaoguang and deliberately turned on the speakerphone, which made it clear that one of them was playing the good cop and the other was playing the bad cop, and they came to make demands.

Not only Wang Xing, but everyone else at the table also came to their senses. These young people were passionate, but not stupid. Moreover, they all graduated from prestigious universities and had high IQs. Zhang Wei made things so obvious, how could they not see that the two of them were working in unison to propose conditions!
Considering that the funds from Zhang Wei were delayed in arriving, and it was not until the server of the campus network could no longer bear the consequences that he said he could borrow 2 million from Weiguang Technology, it was obvious that he had dug a hole and was waiting for the campus network to jump into it!

Thinking of this, the eyes of the people around looked at Zhang Wei, no longer flattering and pleading, but more of anger!
How can I not be angry when I was tricked by someone?

……

The initial founding team of Xiaonei.com were all top students who graduated from prestigious universities. Most of them had not experienced the hardships of society. They created a successful project, Xiaonei.com, as their first venture and can be considered winners in life.

These people have been arrogant since childhood and used to winning against this man, but now they have been tricked by Zhang Wei. How can they tolerate this humiliation!

The atmosphere in the conference room was depressing and several people were silent, but one could feel that this was the calm before the storm. The volcano might erupt in the next second.

Finally, one of them broke the silence and said, "This Zhang Wei first gave us the first round of funding and allowed us to open registration. When the number of users increased and the server could no longer support it, he started to use the investment to threaten us to launch his Happy Farm. Now he has added something called "grabbing parking spaces". It's so shameless!"

"That's right, we can't be blackmailed by him! We won't let Farmville go online! Let's see what he can do!"

The person who is speaking obviously hasn't faced the reality yet and has some cynical qualities.

"What can he do? He can just not invest money. Without funds, our servers won't be enough and the website will crash!"

"It's just money! We can just look for other investors. We already have over 20 million registered users. Are we still worried about not being able to attract investment?"

"Do you think we haven't contacted other investors during this period? We have mentioned this every Monday morning at the meeting. Don't you know what conditions those investors have offered?

We have more than 20 million registered users, but our profitability has always been questioned. If we can’t make a profit, investors won’t give us good conditions! Investors are here to make money, not to do charity! "

“That’s true. Compared with other investors, Zhang Wei did not make very demanding requirements. He asked us to open registration before, and we were unwilling to do so at first. But Facebook also opened registration, and the facts proved that he was right.

Now he wants to launch a small game, so we just agree to it. Just like what Yao Xiaoguang said, we don’t need to operate it, we just need to open a hyperlink entrance for them, it’s not a big deal! ”

"No! If we agree to Zhang Wei, doesn't it mean that we are really being held hostage by him? Can you swallow this? I can't swallow this anyway. From childhood to adulthood, I have never suffered such a loss!" said the angry young man.

"Then what do you think we should do? Otherwise, you pay for us to upgrade the server, and then we won't have to ask Zhang Wei for help!"

"How can I have the money? Even if I do, why should I pay for it? The campus network belongs to everyone, so we should all pay for it together!"

When they are angry, the angry young people are really angry, but when it comes to paying money, they immediately become timid.

"Since you don't want to pay, and we can't find a better investor to invest in us, we can only agree to Zhang Wei's request."

"I don't agree! I will never compromise with such a person!" The angry young man snorted coldly.

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

"We don't have to do anything. Let the server crash! At worst, we can just break up and shut down the campus network. Zhang Wei has invested tens of millions of yuan in it. If the campus network is shut down, he will be the one who suffers the most!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room showed unfriendly expressions.

Zhang Wei invested tens of millions of RMB in Campus Network, but Campus Network does not only involve the tens of millions invested by Zhang Wei, but also involves the interests of other people.

Apart from anything else, in the early days of the establishment of Xiaonei.com, Wang Xing paid for it with his own money as start-up capital. This was an investment of real money, and Wang Xing certainly did not want to lose it.

The other members of the founding team also contributed money and effort, and finally made Xiaonei.com big and strong.

If the campus gateway is shut down, Zhang Wei will lose the tens of millions of RMB he invested, but others will also suffer considerable losses.

So when he said the words "let's go our separate ways", everyone present instinctively stood against him.

When it comes to interests, it is better to die with friends than to die in poverty. You are noble and generous, but you should not use the interests of others to demonstrate your own nobility and be generous to others!

At this time, Wang Xing, who had been silent, finally spoke up: "Since everyone disagrees, I suggest that we vote by raising our hands, and the minority obeys the majority. What do you think?"

"Okay, let's vote by raising our hands. I have no objection!"

"I don't have any objection either!"

"The minority obeys the majority, as it should be!"

Everyone, including the angry young people, quickly reached a consensus.

"Then let's start voting. If you disagree with Zhang Wei's request, please raise your hands!" Wang Xing said.

The angry young people immediately raised their hands and said at the same time: "We cannot compromise with power and capital!"

The angry young people probably think that if they shout a slogan, they will be able to attract a hundred responses, and then everyone will raise their hands in agreement.

However, the situation at the scene was that he was the only one raising his hand alone, and no one else responded.

"Hey, everyone, we've been set up and threatened. Can you swallow this?" said the angry young man, looking at one of his best friends.

However, the other party lowered his head and avoided the angry young man's gaze.

"Anyone else wants to raise their hands? If not, that means one vote is against it!" Wang Xing paused, then continued: "Those who agree with Zhang Wei's request, please raise your hands!"

Everyone looked at each other, and soon the first person raised his hand, followed by the second, the third...

When Wang Xing saw someone raising his hand, he also raised his hand to show his support.

"Everyone has seen the result. The minority obeys the majority. I will call Zhang Wei right away. R&D department, operations department, get ready. We are launching Happy Farm!"

The angry young man had a confused expression on his face, which was mixed with a little confusion, but more of it was anger.

The angry young man obviously did not realize that his words of breaking up had offended everyone and damaged everyone's interests.

"How can you do this? Don't you have any dignity?" the angry young man said angrily.

But everyone remained silent and no one paid any attention to the angry young man.

What is dignity in the face of interests?
"If we agree to Zhang Wei like this, he will become even more demanding in the future!" the angry young man continued to roar.

Let them push their money further, after all, they are the financial sponsors. What the financial sponsors say is what they are, this is the business rule!
After this incident, the other people obviously understood this truth.

Only the angry young man still looked angry, incompetent and furious!
