Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 301: Complete Shutdown
"Yeah." Seeing that Du Yusheng had come to terms with it, Cheng Yi felt relieved.

As the chairman of the group, Du Yusheng was very clear that this day would come, and Cheng Yi had talked to him about this many times.

Cheng Yi left the detention room and began to think about how to solve the problem.

The information provided by Du Yusheng is too limited, and at this point, Starcom must have forged a lot of evidence. The evidence is insufficient, and the Zhushan District Police Association will definitely not intervene.

At present, various identification methods are not perfect. Many companies encounter this problem and need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to prove their innocence.

It takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to prove it. This statement is not something that can be said casually.

Now there are only two choices before Cheng Yi.

The first option is to search for evidence and prove his innocence, but this process is too frustrating. Even if Du Yusheng's innocence is finally proven, there is no guarantee that Starcom Group will not come again a second or third time.

The second option is to turn the conspiracy into an open one, expose them until they are heartbroken, and the matter will naturally be resolved.

After leaving the Police Association, Qi Yundong was still squatting on the side of the road smoking a cigarette. Seeing Cheng Yi coming out, Qi Yundong quickly stood up and asked, "Boss Cheng, when can Chairman Du come out?"

"Don't even think about it in the short term." Cheng Yi said, "You can go back for the New Year first, and leave the things here to me."

Qi Yundong shook his head and sighed, "I'd better stay here and guard it, just in case you need me for anything."

Cheng Yi patted Qi Yundong on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to feel guilty. Chairman Du will suffer this misfortune sooner or later."

Qi Yundong suddenly remembered something and said, "Boss Cheng, I think this must be related to Miao Rui, our person in charge in Yuntai County. I'm going to Yuntai County now. If I run into him..."

"Miao Rui isn't from Yuntai County, and after something like this happened, he would have probably run away long ago." Cheng Yi said, "Don't worry, I will settle accounts with these people. You can go back first. This matter has nothing to do with you anymore."

Cheng Yi stopped talking nonsense and got into the GL8 commercial vehicle.

As the car left Zhushan District, Zhao Gang called and said, "Brother, it's just as you thought. Starcom has commissioned Liu Wei, the president of Handong Business News, to bribe the presidents of those tabloids. The city-level tabloids are offering 30,000 yuan, and the provincial tabloids are offering 60,000 yuan. Many have already agreed to Liu Wei's terms."

"Isn't this Starcom Group too stingy?" Cheng Yi sneered, "I thought Wu Tao would at least throw in a few million."

Zhao Gang said, "Actually, this is the market price. These tabloids don't have a lot of sales to begin with, and they survive by scamming people and begging for alms."

Cheng Yi said, "Well, have all the presidents we found finished recording?"

"The recordings and everything are ready," Zhao Gang said. "I've selected six newspapers with decent reputations: Handong Business Information, Handong Youth Daily, Handong Science and Technology News, Jingzhou Metropolitan News, Jingzhou Enterprise News, and Jingzhou Transportation News."

"Well, it's a favor that they're willing to help us. Let's give them 30 each." Cheng Yi said, "Wait until the other tabloids turn against us, and then let them speak out."

"I understand." Zhao Gang said with a smile, "Brother, if you make such a fuss, it will be equivalent to a life-and-death struggle with Starcom Group."

Cheng Yi sneered and said, "I must make sure they die completely. There can only be one PHS company in Handong Province, and that is Momo PHS."

When we returned to Momo Building, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening. Because it was a holiday, the Momo Building was pitch black, which made people feel suffocated and uneasy.

When Cheng Yi returned to the office, he saw Lin Qingyin still working quickly in the office, while Jiang Yuxi, who was beside her, had fallen asleep on her legs.

Seeing Cheng Yi return to the office, Lin Qingyin hurriedly patted Jiang Yuxi who was sleeping soundly.

Jiang Yuxi got up sleepily and looked at Cheng Yi who walked in. With a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth, she said, "Cheng Yi, what time is it? You just came back. Your building is so empty. There are not many people. It's so scary."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Now you know the importance of men, right?"

"Tsk, you're not even as brave as me. When you were a kid, you were chased all over the ground by a dog, and I was the one who rescued you." Jiang Yuxi snorted.

"Eight hundred."

"No more talking." Jiang Yuxi immediately lost her sleepiness.

At this time, Lin Qingyin stood up, looked at Cheng Yi and said, "Cheng Yi, I'm sorry, I failed. They blocked IP addresses from other provinces. Most of the broiler chickens I have accumulated these days are from other provinces. There are only more than 20,000 broiler chickens in the province. They can't pose any threat to their servers."

"It's okay, there will be more broiler chickens tomorrow." Cheng Yi said: "Okay, it's getting late, you guys should go to bed quickly."

Jiang Yuxi asked, "Cheng Yi, I heard that Du Yusheng was arrested. Is this true?"

"Yeah." Cheng Yi nodded and said, "I guess I won't be able to go back for the New Year this year. I'll send a car to take you back tomorrow."

"I, I want to stay." Lin Qingyin whispered, "I also want to help Du Yusheng."

"Well, then I'll stay too." Jiang Yuxi said, "I'm a very loyal person."

"Lin Qingyin can stay. You should go back early. Your uncle and aunt are waiting for you at home." Cheng Yi glanced at Jiang Yuxi and said, "Okay, you two should go back to your room and rest early."

Jiang Yuxi watched Cheng Yi walk into the bedroom and looked at Lin Qingyin with a puzzled look.

Lin Qingyin asked, "Jiang Yuxi, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yuxi said, "I feel like Cheng Yi is not quite right today. In the past, he would definitely say, 'What's the point of you staying here? Just to cook?'"

Jiang Yuxi imitated Cheng Yi's expression so vividly that Lin Qingyin covered her mouth and laughed.

Cheng Yi lay on the bed, thoughts of Du Yusheng echoing in his mind.

Although he knew that Du Yusheng would definitely suffer this disaster, the fact that Du Yusheng was sent to jail by Starcom Group in such a clumsy way proved the current level of management chaos in the group.

This is also the biggest pain point and weakness of any enterprise in the early stages of development.

Enterprise development is actually like playing Snake. When the snake is not big, it can develop randomly and do whatever it wants. But when the snake is long enough, it must be carefully planned. Just one wrong step may lead to a complete loss.

Like Du Yusheng, who traveled all over the province with the official seal of Momo Internet Cafe Management Company. In order to speed up the development of the group, he sometimes had to stamp the official seal dozens of times a day. It was only a matter of time before something went wrong.

"Now that Momo Group has entered the sight of many people, when Lao Huang comes back, it's time to set up some rules for the group." Cheng Yi thought to himself.

The next morning, many tabloids began to report on the contract fraud committed by the chairman of Momo Group. Some newspapers even exposed the fraudulent contract with the official seal of Momo Internet Cafe Management Company. In addition, some tabloids began to fabricate Du Yusheng's private life, such as hanging out in bars with sexy girls late at night and having a forbidden love with his tutor.

These events are a great shame for Du Yusheng, the god of pure love. Fortunately, Du Yusheng is in the detention room and cannot see these news.

The internet cafe industry is inherently sensitive, and even Bi Guolong, the president of Jingzhou Vocational College, who had vowed to rescue Du Yusheng from the crisis, chose to back off after seeing so many media outlets expose the Momo Group chairman. The college, already plagued by reports of brawls, has a poor reputation, and if it were to be implicated in Du Yusheng's case, it would be a real commotion.

"Well done!" After reading one tabloid after another in front of him, Wu Tao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He is an elite who has received overseas elite education, and gentlemanly manners are his basic operation. However, when faced with such a refreshing thing, gentlemanly manners can be thrown aside.

The five million was well spent. These days, if you control the pen, you control half of the business world.

Liu Wei stood nearby and said with a smile, "With this news, I'm afraid those supporters behind Momo Group won't dare to say anything, right?"

Wu Tao laughed and said, "That's not enough. I'm going to take advantage of the hype and start some fights in the Momo Internet Cafe to add fuel to their New Year's Eve."

Liu Wei said, "Then you must control the heat to avoid getting burned."

Wu Tao said, "I don't need to do this kind of thing myself. Momo Internet Cafe has squeezed out a lot of Internet cafes' customer resources. When they were strong, these Internet cafe owners might not dare to do anything, but now their chairman has been arrested. Do you think those Internet cafe owners will miss this opportunity?"

Wu Tao lit a cigar and said in a very impressive manner, "I've already arranged for Chen Hui to do it. All it takes is a reminder, and those internet cafe owners will naturally understand what to do. If they don't take this opportunity to suppress the Momo Group now, are they waiting for the Momo Group to rise and devour them?"

"That's right." Liu Wei nodded and said with a smile, "Then our newspaper won't have a holiday this year?"

Wu Tao understood what Liu Wei wanted to say and immediately said with great confidence, "Tell your subordinates that you will celebrate the New Year in Jingzhou City this year. Everyone's bonus will be doubled."

"Okay." Liu Wei smiled happily.

As the president of Handong Business Daily, Liu Wei knew why Wu Tao was so eager to take action against Momo Group.

Although Wu Tao has always been proud of his 95% market share, he is full of disdain for Momo Group.

But during this period, the account opening data of Momo Xiaolingtong has been rising rapidly.

From the initial 100-odd films per day to the current 3000-plus films per day, it has increased almost exponentially.

Although the actual sales volume did not threaten the Starcom Group's sales of millions, this growth rate is indeed a bit unsettling.

It is a kind of unknown fear that is beyond the scope of business and makes it difficult for people to understand the logic behind it.

How could it be that it was just an online game competition and boosted PHS sales? Was it just because of the free game gift pack?

This kind of virtual game gift package can make people spend more than 1000 yuan to buy a mobile phone?
Wu Tao couldn't understand the reason, so he felt a little panicked.

At this time, Liu Wei naturally had to find a way to get enough benefits for himself and the newspaper.

They are attacking Momo Group to help Starcom Group seize the market.

Shouldn't you pay some fees?
Wu Tao folded up the dozens of newspapers one by one and placed them on the side of his desk. He stood up and said with a smile, "President Liu, come on, I'll treat you to a bluefin tuna feast at noon today. I'll treat you well. It's top-quality food that was just flown in from the Japanese port."

Liu Wei naturally didn't believe that Wu Tao would go to such great lengths to invite him, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss Wu, please don't be so polite to me. You should use this precious ingredient to treat your boss or something."

Wu Tao smiled and said, "I also invited Mr. Cheng Qingbiao, the former president of the Provincial Police Association."

"Oh?" Liu Wei's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Although Cheng Qingbiao has retired, he still holds a high status in Handong Province. He is now hired by the Handong Provincial Government Affairs Association as the director of the Youth Safety Management Office. If Cheng Qingbiao is asked to deal with Momo Internet Cafe, it would be a perfect match.

Liu Wei said, "Mr. Wu, if you have such connections, why didn't you bring them out earlier? If you had brought them out earlier, why would we have gone through all this trouble?"

Wu Tao snorted in his heart and did not answer the question.

Of course he wanted to take it out earlier, but Cheng Qingbiao had reached that position and was a very experienced person. When Momo Group was developing steadily, it was absolutely impossible for Cheng Qingbiao to stand up and provoke Momo Group.

The most a big shot like this can do is help you throw a few stones at your drowning opponent.

Even though Momo Group is now on the verge of collapse, Cheng Qingbiao is unwilling to say a word and always remains on the sidelines.

Wu Tao walked out of the office with a proud look on his face. Just as he reached the elevator door, his cell phone rang.

The call was from Chen Hui.

Wu Tao answered the phone and said with a smile, "Chen Hui, did you know I got some bluefin tuna, so you wanted to come and try it?"

Chen Hui said hurriedly: "Senior, you are still in the mood to eat fish, something big has happened."

"What's wrong?" Wu Tao was stunned.

Chen Hui said: "All Momo Internet Cafes have been shut down."

"Shut down completely?" Wu Tao asked in surprise. "Is the Momo Group so fragile? Is this a good thing?"

"They're protesting! Every Momo internet cafe has a sign outside denouncing Starcom Group, complete with the Toutiao website address." Chen Hui said anxiously, "They've exposed a recording on the Toutiao forum showing Starcom Group paying a large sum of money to the media to smear Momo Group. Hurry and check your computer."

"What?" Wu Tao felt like his head exploded.

He rushed back to the office and quickly logged into the Toutiao forum.

What caught my eye was a pinned post with six MP3 audio files attached.

Wu Tao quickly clicked on the first recording file.

"President Wang, you're well aware of Starcom Group's strength. Momo Group can't compete with us. I know your newspaper has been struggling lately. If you can help us publish a few news stories about the arrest of Momo Group's chairman, the 60,000 yuan will be yours."

[President Liu, this isn't a good idea, is it?]

"What's wrong with that? We're all friends. You help me, I help you, and we make money together. I've already made deals with other newspapers, and since you're a provincial newspaper, I'll give you an extra 30,000."

When Liu Wei heard the sound coming from the computer speakers, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he didn't even dare to look at Wu Tao.

"Sixty thousand?" Wu Tao slowly raised his head, looked at Liu Wei, and said with a forced smile, "President Liu, you're so generous."
