Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 298 Public opinion competition (two in one)

On June 6, the news of Sina's Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders was deliberated overnight, and many media carried out intensive reports in conjunction with the news from Sina.com.

Beiqing.com, which once reported that Yike was accused of infringement overseas, gave their judgment on the battle for control of Sina:
"Yesterday, Sina held an extraordinary shareholders meeting, exposing Fang Zhuo as the actual controller of MIGA Fund."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fang Zhuo is using the banner of the board of directors to damage shareholders' rights and interests, but he is actually snatching control of Sina."

"As we all know, Sina's successful process from its establishment to its development to its listing in the United States has nothing to do with Fang Zhuo."

"If the control of an enterprise can be usurped so easily, who can still be a business with a solid heart?"

"What's more, where is the source of Fang Zhuo's funds? MIGA Fund has been established for several years, how could it be founded by him? Yike is only a year old, so it is impossible to have so much funds."

"Before yesterday, we judged that what Sina encountered this time was a hostile takeover by foreign capital. Now it seems that this judgment cannot be overturned in a hurry."

"Sina is likely to be attacked by foreign agents!"

The newspaper "Jingcheng Daily" also has the latest report:
"Whether it's MIGA Fund, Yike Investment, or Fang Zhuo, this share acquisition without communication with Sina's board of directors is malicious."

"The development of enterprises needs stability."

"Fang Zhuo asked for an extraordinary general meeting immediately after Sina's annual general meeting, which not only made Sina's internal staff panic, but also attracted the attention of the industry."

"They have disrupted the stable development of Sina, the leader in domestic portals."

"The situation at the scene of the EGM was heated and it was not in the interest of either party."

“The reason why a hostile takeover is called hostile is that this battle based on control is likely to lose both sides, and it will end in a mess.”

"Fang Zhuo should sit down and talk to Sina instead of threatening to 'apply for company dissolution'."

"Perhaps, Fang Zhuo's behavior is not illegal, but business behavior must not only be legal, but also have moral constraints."

The "China Economic Times" also had its end. Not only did they sort out all kinds of news about the battle for control of Sina, but they also quickly interviewed the leaders of different companies about their views on this incident.

As two portal websites that are both listed on the US stock market, Ding Lei and Zhang Chaoyang are naturally among the interviewees.

Netease Ding Lei:

"I'm surprised, it's beyond my imagination. If there is no problem with the SEC's acquisition approval that Fang Zhuo showed, then this is indeed a lesson for domestic listed companies."

Sohu Zhang Chaoyang: "

"Based on what I've heard now, Fang Zhuo is indeed very resourceful. I've heard of him before, and I had a relationship with CCTV, but I really didn't expect him to be so ambitious to seek control of Sina.

However, I think Fang Zhuo's method is a bit too drastic, and it will be difficult to end if it goes on like this. I am curious about Fang Zhuo's expectations for this situation.

When the battle for control of Sina is settled, I believe we will all hear more interesting news and inside stories. I don't know more than you, and I have been refreshing the news on the Internet. "

The relationship between Lenovo Liu Chuanzhi and Sina Duan Yongji is very good, and the newspapers who were held to give it a try responded as soon as they contacted:
"Strongly condemn this hostile takeover of a company! Fang Zhuo's behavior is very bad! This is hurting the Internet industry! Support Sina in launching a corporate defense war!"

Shi Yuzhu, who just registered Giant Company in Shanghai:

"Sina is obviously in trouble, but I'm not optimistic about Fang Zhuo's acquisition. The biggest possibility is the continuous stalemate. The two parties should sit down and talk, and the competent department should play a role in the middle."

Feng Lun of Wantong Group:

"Fang Zhuo's actions are very uncommercial, he should think more about it."

Guo Guangchang of Fosun Group:

"Oh, I've read the reports, but I haven't seen Fang Zhuo. This man, what he's doing now is not pleasing, and it's not something to brag about."

"Even if Fang Zhuo controls Sina, what can he do? He has nothing to do with Sina's business and has no experience in this field. Forcibly controlling such a famous portal will only make people feel sorry for Sina."

Many business leaders have expressed their views on the battle for control of Sina, and they generally do not support Fang Zhuo's actions against Sina.

The wind direction of public opinion was completely biased towards Sina's board of directors for a while.

In this wave of interviews and reports, many company leaders from other industries appeared. Obviously, not only the Internet industry is paying attention to this matter, but the battle for control of Sina has attracted worldwide attention.

Because of this, Fang Zhuo's notoriety became known all over the world in a short period of time.

However, Fang Zhuo himself did not pay much attention to the reports, but Feng Bing, the vice president of Yike Investment, believed that the influence of public opinion should be considered, and reported the heated discussions that emerged.

"I remember that not only Sina's own media was present yesterday, but also CCTV's, right? Is there no news from them?"

Fang Zhuo briefly browsed the reports from various sources, and remembered the observations in the meeting hall yesterday.

Feng Bing hurriedly called to inquire about this matter, and replied after a while: "CCTV also reported it, but it was just a text message."

"Oh, text messages, that means we have no position for the time being." Fang Zhuo nodded, "I'll see if I can make an appointment with them tonight and give us a response. This is considered an exclusive report, and it should be for them Say it's worth it."

Feng Bing nodded happily.

As the saying goes, he was blamed by thousands of people, and he died without a problem. He already felt pressured when his own name did not appear in the reports.

"Let's go, go and see what's happening on Sina today." Fang Zhuo said as he walked, "Don't take public opinion too seriously, public opinion is useful, why should I put so much effort?"

"Uh." Feng Bing really felt disapproval from the boss's words.

Today is the second session of the second day of Sina's Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders. It is still the same location as yesterday, and the formation of yesterday.

It's just that compared with the situation of the hotel yesterday, today there are more media who heard the news and stayed outside.

Fang Zhuo didn't get out of the car immediately after arriving. He brought his younger sister Zhao Suqi, who was acting as a temporary assistant, in the car today.

After the team set up their positions to ensure that they would not be forced to interview, Fang Zhuo took Zhao Suqi out of the car and went straight to the conference hall on the first floor of the hotel, without any intention of responding to those loud questions.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, CCTV media was not present today, and Sina media became an exclusive report.

Fang Zhuo glanced at the camera, thinking that the other party must have nothing good to say about him, and maybe how to attack and smear him.

"Vote."

The Sina board of directors in the conference hall was still waiting. Fang Zhuo waited for a while but did not wait for the other party to speak. He did not sit down, but stood directly in the middle of the aisle, uttering two words like this.

Duan Yongji was full of fighting spirit after a night of fighting and fighting: "What to invest in, your SEC acquisition license has not been verified yet."

Fang Zhuo said lightly: "Then test it quickly."

Duan Yongji didn't accept this, and asked: "Fang Zhuo, look at Sina, look at the outside media, look at domestic entrepreneurs, aren't you afraid of being cast aside by using such low-handed methods?"

Last night, Duan Yongji stayed up almost all night. The outburst of public opinion in the media was part of his work. The existence of the "Taishan Industrial Research Institute" alone made it easy for him to call on his well-known business friends to put pressure on him.

"The SEC's acquisition license has not been spurned, and the shares in my hands have not been spurned."

Fang Zhuo smiled, and said loudly: "Also, when you transferred the shares to me, you didn't say you would spit on the money I gave you. How about this?"

The board of directors knew that the shares invested by Fangzhuo Yike came from Duan Yongji, and the co-chairman also reflected on this matter at the meeting last night.

But the Sina executives and small and medium shareholders present still didn't know, and they were surprised when they heard it.

Duan Yongji's remarks on this were anger from the heart: "Fang Zhuo, you are not ashamed of your low-handed methods, but proud of it?"

"Duan Yongji." Fang Zhuo shook the proposal in his hand, "The smearing of character and morality can't make you look so noble. Did Wang Zhidong not come over today to make you forget about driving away the founder last year?"

When the Sina reporter in the back row heard this, he whispered to the cameraman, "Don't forget to cut this part."

Duan Yongji angrily reprimanded: "Wang Zhidong and we have internal differences!"

"Then remember to call me..." Fang Zhuo paused, "Director Fang" did not meet the requirements, Feng Bing and Davis joined the board of directors, "Big shareholder Fang."

Seeing that the others had no intention of communicating at all, he threw the proposal document on the table like yesterday, and unilaterally announced: "If you don't vote, the meeting will end and continue tomorrow."

There were dissatisfied voices in the conference hall.

However, Sina's major shareholder Fang has turned away without hesitation.

The second extraordinary general meeting was only held for less than 10 minutes. Before the reporters outside had a rest, they saw all the people from Fang Zhuo's party come out.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, did the negotiation break down if you came out so soon today?"

"Fang Zhuo, do you want to say something to those who care about Sina?"

"Fang Zhuo, do you think your behavior is despicable?"

Fang Zhuo got into the car without saying a word, waiting for the black Audi to drive away slowly.

Zhao Suqi, who didn't come yesterday, came here today to open his eyes with great interest, but left in a hurry after watching it for a few minutes. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother, is that the case? It seems that there is no substantive communication."

"Don't worry, just express your position now, and neither side will back down. Duan Yongji must have colluded with the shareholders, but he is afraid that he will fail if he dares not vote." Fang Zhuo shook his head, "He is using outside the market. The public opinion is not good, it is useless, I Let's see what else he can do."

Zhao Suqi nodded, remembering his brother's determination and patience.

Before the Audi drove far, Fang Zhuo's cell phone rang in his pocket. A number that had been stored but never dialed was precisely that Director Liu from yesterday.

"Mr. Fang, today's shareholder meeting will be very fast." Director Liu said with a hearty smile.

Fang Zhuo didn't want to exchange pleasantries at such a time, and said bluntly, "It's very fast. Duan Yongji dare not let the shareholders vote, and I can't help it. Director Liu's call is not to let me get off the tiger, right?"

Director Liu murmured that it was indeed a difficult situation, but today's public opinion was really turbulent beyond expectation. As the competent department, the situation had to be resolved, and this kind of influence could not be allowed to spread.

"I have an interview tonight. Director Liu, if you don't mind, you can come to the interview together. I have been attacked a lot today." Fang Zhuo sent out the invitation, "The truth becomes clearer and clearer. I am willing to invite people who pay attention to this matter. a transparent clarification."

Director Liu thought for a while: "There's no need for an interview, and if you listen to it, you'll know. I can come and listen. I need a piece of material from you about your private equity fund."

"No problem." Fang Zhuo agreed.

After the call ended, he called again to confirm an exclusive interview.

This Director Liu, Fang Zhuo was a little unsure if he was an outside move by Duan Yongji today, but judging from his attitude, he seemed relatively neutral.

Yesterday's leader did not intervene at the venue.

Fang Zhuo sat in the car with his eyes closed, thinking about how to grasp the rare media channels at night.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

The reporter set up the camera, and Director Liu listened outside the camera. He had the materials and reports of the MIGA Fund in his hand.

"Many media said that I was conducting a hostile takeover of Sina."

"Even the seat of the board of directors has been taken, so what's the point of being malicious or not?"

"They have all been made directors, and they deserve to be acquired."

Fang Zhuo opened the lightning strike, and directly dealt with the attack point of "hostile takeover" from the source. No one could defend it, so he just voted.

The reporter was taken aback by such down-to-earth words, and asked, "Mr. Fang, how did you get your board seat?"

"Either they are greedy for my money or my name, and I will never force Duan Yongji to sign." Fang Zhuo said eloquently, "Not to mention being a major shareholder, even a small shareholder, I also have The right to know about the company's major events."

"The question now is whether the cooperation between Sina and Sunshine Culture has worked. Why are you afraid to disclose such a simple situation?"

Fang Zhuo made a sound, grasping this point.

The reporter nodded, no problem, the right to know is protected by law.

He looked at the young president in front of him and asked, "President Fang, what do you think of everyone's remarks on this dispute?"

"For example?" Fang Zhuo asked.

"For example, Sina's success has nothing to do with you, you are robbing it of the fruit of its success." The reporter selected a point of view.

"Is Sina profitable?"

"Success without profit?"

Fang Zhuo first asked two rhetorical questions, and continued: "If this is what you call Sina's success, then I can only say that I can make Sina more successful."

"Also, regarding the acquisition of shares and the identity of the major shareholder, these are business rules. If you don't understand them, you should learn them. Now is the 21st century."

"The whole thing is very simple."

"Sina doesn't know how to make a profit until now, so I'll teach them."

"I am the major shareholder of Sina, why should I do something that harms Sina's interests?"

"As for those spiritual shareholders, please come to the shareholder meeting with proof of ownership and speak in front of me, so that I can hear what they are talking about."

"that's it."

Fang Zhuo's attitude under the camera has also remained unprecedentedly tough.

Sina's major shareholder, one-vote veto power, and the right to know about major events.

Now one-third of Sina is surnamed Fang!
……

On the evening of June 6, Sina gave an exclusive live report on the second day of the extraordinary shareholders meeting, strongly questioning and condemning Fang Zhuo's negative communication attitude.

In addition, the chief writer Xu Changlun worked hard to write, maintaining his enthusiasm for criticizing Fang Zhuo.

——"How can the president of Yike, who has nothing to do with him, understand the great success of Sina?"

　Four tomorrow.
