Chapter 542 Is there a reason why you don't like it?
Seeing that George Soros was getting interested, Joe Burt immediately assured him: "I swear with my most devout faith, this news is absolutely true. With this news, we can directly short Interest Company !"

Joe Burt wanted to short-short the anecdote company on Wall Street, but he was definitely not strong enough on his own, so he wanted to persuade George Soros.As long as Soros also participates, relying on Soros's strong contacts and funds, it will be safe to short the company.

Seeing Joe Burt swear by his own beliefs, George Soros immediately grinned. Lu Yiming tricked him when he was in Xiangjiang, and he always remembered this grudge.

This time, of course he will seize the opportunity and return the favor.

After hanging up on Joe Burt, George Soros called Cliff Asness and James Chanos and invited them to short Anecdote's stock.

Cliff Asness and James Chanos were also very interested in making some trouble for Lu Yiming, not to mention that if this matter was handled well, they might be able to make some money.

Therefore, the two readily agreed to Soros's proposal.

Zhonghai, No. 699 Yuyuan Road.

Although it had been a few days since the fire broke out, Bill Gates didn't seem to have the slightest intention of leaving. Instead of returning to the United States, he found an excuse to live directly in Lu's garden.

Fortunately, the Lu Family Garden is big enough and there are enough rooms. Even if Bill Gates lived in with his bodyguards and entourage, it still looked very empty.

But Lu Yiming was very upset.

In the yard, two people were lying on wicker chairs drinking coffee and basking in the sun.Lu Yiming complained, "Because of you, the threshold of my place is almost broken."

In the past few days, wave after wave of business elites and politicians who came to visit Bill Gates with excuses made Lu Yiming unbearable.

However, Bill Gates did not have the slightest awareness of the guests. Instead, he said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you when I came here? I want to take this opportunity to give myself a good vacation. You are mine. Friends, you will not be unwilling to receive me, will you?"

Lu Yiming couldn't do anything about him as an old rascal. The two were chatting, and Bill Gates answered the phone, and then said to Lu Yiming with a wink, "Someone in the United States seems to want to sell anecdotes. Are you talking about it again?" Did something happen?"

Lu Yiming took a deep breath, and couldn't help exclaiming: "My good fellow, is there still anecdote about shorting? Where's the idiot?"

He was full of confidence in the future of Anecdote, so Bill Gates was not panicked at all when he got the news, with a smile on his face, and his tone was very relaxed: "I don't know, but who cares, the fat sheep delivered to the door will not be slaughtered." Don't kill for nothing."

Lu Yiming thought so deeply.

Although it seems immoral to deceive a fool, the other party took the initiative to send it to his door. If Lu Yiming is not the beauty of an adult, wouldn't he have failed the gift of nature?
Now, the revision of the anecdote has been completed, and the coordination with the operator has entered the final stage, and the subscription service will be launched soon.To short anecdotes at this point does require a little imagination.

On June [-], [-], the NASDAQ stock exchange in the United States.

Ding Sanshi led a group of executives from NetEase, and held a small hammer to perform the bell-ringing ceremony. At this time, he was excited.

As soon as the company goes public, you can become a rich man yourself!
Recalling the time when he was so poor that he ate pork knuckles every day when he started his business, Ding Sanshi now only feels that his future is bright.

The executives of the company huddled together excitedly. From now on, all of them will be millionaires, or even multi-millionaires!

Ding Sanshi, who holds a 40.00% stake in NetEase, based on the issue price of 15.3 US dollars, his net worth exceeded [-] million US dollars in one fell swoop, becoming a billionaire!
As an Internet company, Ding Sanshi, an entrepreneur, owns an incredible amount of shares.

Just look at Fatty Ding’s colleagues. The founder of Penguin, Xiao Ma, holds less than 15.00% of the shares; Ali’s Jack Ma, holds [-]% of the shares. He became famous only after [-]. Brother Dong holds [-]% of the shares, and Little Lizi Baidu holds the shares.

It can be seen from this that, as an entrepreneur, Fatty Ding is vigilant and cautious when facing capital, especially after Wang Zhidong was kicked out of the scum by Lu Yiming and several other directors, he was even more concerned. The controlling stake does not dare to relax at all.

The bell-ringing ceremony was over, and Holvey and Felix, representatives of Merrill Lynch Far East Co., Ltd. and Deutsche Bank as the stock underwriters, also came to congratulate.

"Boss Ding, congratulations."

"According to the words of my hometown, you are a daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law for many years."

"It should be the fruit of cultivation after going through hardships, haha."

For Netease to be able to go public, the support of brokers is indispensable, so Ding Sanshi is very polite to these two people.

"Haha, we are all happy together, the company can be successfully listed, and you all have contributed a lot."

After a few days, Ding Sanshi stayed in the United States, watching NetEase's listed market value all the way to 4.65 million US dollars, he couldn't help but feel very proud, and felt that the future has a lot to do.

However, his joy did not last long, and NetEase's share price soon fell below the issue price, and even fell by more than 30.00% at one point!
What scene did Ding Sanshi claim he hadn't seen?

But he had never seen this scene before!
He hurriedly found his executives and asked, "What's going on here? Why did the stock price drop so much suddenly? I haven't heard of any negative news from the company. Could it be that someone is shorting us?"

"I'll call and ask to see if there is a problem in the country."

The executives were also frightened by the drop. Now that Ding Sanshi asked about it, he dared not neglect, and hurriedly called domestic and foreign branches to find out the situation.

After several phone calls, the executive finally understood the reason, and reported to Ding Sanshi: "Mr. Ding, the company has neither exposed scandal nor been maliciously shorted. It is because our NetEase portal has a lot of visits these days. The decline has been directly reflected in the stock price, and investors have become less optimistic about our business potential."

Ding Sanshi turned pale with shock. The most important things for Internet companies now are various data indicators, such as portal websites, and click-through rates are very important. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are lifelines.

After all, most Internet companies are losing money and making money, and what they sell is the "future", and the future cannot be illusory, let alone empty talk, otherwise how can they fool investors into throwing money into it?

So the only thing that can be boasted is naturally how many users and how many people use their own website, so as to prove their future business potential.

But now that the click-through rate of the website has plummeted, it is really fatal.

"Why did it suddenly become like this? Is it a technical reason, such as our website has too many visits, so it crashed?"

The executive said truthfully: "I hope this is the problem, but..."

Ding Sanshi said angrily: "But you're tall, why don't you play tricks for me? Tell me quickly!"

Na Gaoguan: "According to the feedback from the company, the number of visits to the website has declined because users are taken away by anecdotes."

Ding Sanshi frowned, and asked, "What is an anecdote?"

But he immediately realized that his old opponent, Zha Lang, was renamed Fun Story after Lu Yiming bought a large amount of equity.Recently, he has been busy with the listing of Netease, so he forgot about it for a while.

Both of them are in the information industry. It can be said that except for the different names, they are similar everywhere, and the business overlap is almost [-]%.

"How come it's so good, Quwen snatched our users away? Could it be that they have some means of attracting new users? But there is no conflict between visiting Quwen and visiting NetEase. Why do netizens just look for Fun and not come to our NetEase?"

Ding Sanshi couldn't understand it, and immediately turned on the computer at hand, and entered the URL of the interesting story.

As a colleague, Ding Sanshi knows anecdotes too well. As a result, when the website is opened, the homepage that pops up has a uniform color tone, and it is obviously designed through a special typesetting. There are not only texts but also pictures in the large and small squares. And it is arranged according to the popularity of the news, with clear layers.It can be said that it is clear at a glance which news is the key point just by looking at it.

Ding Sanshi suddenly felt very strange.

He suddenly thought of the NetEase homepage full of dense text, hyperlinks and advertisements.

He himself couldn't bear to look directly at it.

It's okay if there is no comparison, after all, everyone was as bad as before.

But now someone in the same industry took the lead in making changes, which immediately gave people a sense of standing out from the crowd.

Ding Sanshi is very unhappy, because NetEase has become a rookie in the crowd!

No wonder traffic can be taken away by anecdotes.

As far as this page is concerned, even Ding Sanshi has to admit that he must go to the anecdote page to read the news!

Ding Sanshi randomly clicked on a piece of news.

The title is centered and bold to highlight the key points, and the bottom line is a summary in small words to leave a first impression on readers, and the text below is clean and tidy.

It can be said that watching the news here is simply a kind of enjoyment.

This is much better than finding the text from the pile of advertisements in Netease News and extracting the central idea by yourself!

The most wonderful thing is that after reading the news, there is even a comment area below, registered users can leave a message to express their opinions and interact with other netizens.

Ding Sanshi realized that this function is the ultimate killer!

Ding Sanshi glanced at the news comment area, and almost saw high blood pressure.

"The anecdote is awesome, and the layout is amazing."

"After reading so many portal websites, Anecdote is definitely a clear stream in the industry, but I haven't seen any advertisements here."

"Criticize NetEase and Sohu by name. Clicking on it is full of advertisements. I was obviously looking for news, but I was confused by the advertisements."

"From now on, I will be a die-hard fan of Fun News, what NetEase and Sohu, let them go to hell."

All kinds of remarks made Ding Sanshi terrified.

As an Internet person, he knows all too well what's going on.

When everyone is messing around, users have no choice, so the confusion will pass.

But once one company carries out reform and innovation, if other peers do not keep up, it will inevitably be trampled to death by the innovator!
Other industries are fine, but Internet companies are fundamentally different.

For Internet companies, the number of users is an absolute measure. If you don't have users, you will have a dead end.

Users are the cornerstone for Internet companies to create wealth.

Physical enterprises can sell assets to tide over difficulties without users, but once Internet companies lose users, they will be completely dead, and they will be so cold that they will not be able to turn over.Because the so-called Internet assets are worthless after losing users, they are nothing.

Countless Internet companies want to be the father of users, and feel that I have created functions for you to use, and you should be grateful.

As a result, when users ran away, they were dumbfounded. The things they were proud of and could be used for PUA users were not worth a dime at all.

It is not so easy to get back the lost things, not to mention how many times the effort is put in, the cruelest result is that no matter how much effort is put in, the lost things will never come back.

The more Ding Sanshi watched, the more angry he became, and the more he watched, the more frightened he became. He called the group of subordinates and cursed: "Are you all blind? Why don't you report all the big things that happened to me?"

Not only Ding Sanshi, but also the executives of NetEase also realized the seriousness of the problem.Seeing Ding Sanshi fly into a rage, they all fell silent.

Seeing this, Ding Sanshi became even more furious, thinking that if NetEase were to go down like this, he probably wouldn't be able to close his eyes, so he roared angrily, "Speak, are you not only deaf, but also dumb?"

An executive bit the bullet and explained: "This website has only been launched in the last few days, and we only discovered the problem when we saw that the data was abnormal."

Another executive said loudly immediately: "The anecdote is too much. I deliberately chose to release the new website when we went public. Isn't this deliberately messing with us?"

Others said: "Anecdotally, this is digging one's own grave. How can portals make money without advertising? If they don't make money, they won't make a profit. What's the use of having more users? Don't they want to drink Northwest Wind in the future? They don't want to kill us." Do you have to die too?"

Ding Sanshi saw that these executives were still throwing the pot at this time, he was even more upset, he patted the table and shouted: "I don't know if I will drink Northwest Wind after the anecdote, but let me tell you, if we don't think of a way to turn the situation around, we will You have to go to the rooftop to drink the northwest wind first!"

At this moment, Ding Sanshi's cell phone rang, and he pressed the answer button, and Holvey's roar immediately came from the opposite side: "Ding Sanshi, what's going on? I hope to get a perfect explanation! You know Because NetEase’s stock price plummeted, how much did we lose?”

Although as a brokerage, it is impossible to lose money, after all, NetEase has paid them "travel money" a lot.

But earning less, in the eyes of the capitalists, it is a "loss". Now that the stock price has plummeted, it is still absolutely unacceptable for them.

Ding Sanshi dared to scold the executives under him, but he didn't dare to scold the brokerage firm, so he had to try his best to please him, saying: "Mr. Holway, don't panic, it's just a temporary technical adjustment, and the problem will be resolved soon. Netease will never Something went wrong!"

After finally calming down the brokerage, Ding Sanshi supported his forehead, his brain was going numb, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why Lu Yiming wanted to mess with him for no reason.

Zhang Chaoyang also had a headache because of this. He was in the United States. He just got off the plane, and before he had time to appreciate the sweet air here, he received a call from his subordinates from China, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Because Sohu is also seeking to go public, and has entered the final stage of the road show, and it will be listed on NASDAQ in a week or two.

But at this juncture, the number of visits to the homepage of Sohu's portal plummeted.

It feels like you are laying up and the ball is about to be shot, but a block comes in front of you, and the ball in your hand is directly sent flying.

Zhang Chaoyang's anger was full in an instant, and he asked his subordinates: "What's going on here?"

After checking, he had no choice but to answer depressedly: "It's an anecdote, and the anecdote has taken away all our users."

China Sea.

Furi University.

Lu Yiming had just finished class and was walking out humming a ditty when he suddenly received a call from Li Yiwen.

"Someone asked me to ask, did NetEase Ding Sanshi and Sohu Zhang Chaoyang offend you?"

Lu Yiming's thoughts suddenly returned to the years when he played pig factory games that demanded money with krypton gold and was theoretically crazy PUA by Zhang Chaoyang who only slept for four hours a day. He wanted to say that he was really offended, but thinking about it, this is rebirth What happened before, now that I live it again, I shouldn't be so petty anymore, so I said: "No, although I don't like them, they really didn't offend me, what's wrong?"

Li Yiwen was speechless immediately: "They haven't offended you, why do you dislike them?"

Lu Yiming said straightforwardly: "Is there a reason why they don't like it?"

Li Yiwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "So you deliberately punished them?"

When Lu Yiming heard this, he immediately became unhappy, and said, "Hey, I'm familiar with you, I'll still sue you for defamation if you talk nonsense. Although I don't like them, I didn't punish them."

Li Yiwen was very puzzled: "NetEase and Sohu have been severely impacted by the new homepage of Fun News, and are facing a precarious predicament. They all say it's your fault."

Lu Yiming seemed to understand what Li Yiwen was talking about all of a sudden, because he had been paying attention to the feedback from users who had interesting news in the past two days, and accidentally learned about some things about Netease and Sohu.

"This time is really a coincidence. I can't stop my website just because they want to go public, right? And the follow-up SMS news package business needs to be matched with our homepage to give users a complete experience. It's their own bad luck. It's none of my business." thing?"

"You, you, forget it, let this matter be like this."

It's not the first time Lu Yiming has done something to offend others. Anyway, he is not the one who suffers, so Li Yiwen didn't take it seriously.
