Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 543 You Are Not Even an Opponent
On July [-], a piece of news suddenly broke out on Wall Street.

Stepping on Michael Mickens and James Chanos, who started the junk bond empire, publicly pessimistic about the stock price of the anecdote in an interview with American Economic Television.

In the program, his eyes were cold and his tone was sharp: "Rejecting the cooperation of the advertiser, although temporarily increasing the traffic of the anecdote, but it is only a good-looking data, but actually greatly reduces the commercial value of the anecdote."

This surprised the reporters, and quickly asked: "But even Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, is a shareholder of Fun News. Could it be that Bill Gates has a problem with his investment vision? What's more, Bill Gates is still investing [-] million U.S. dollars, and Lu Yiming and the two will build a software industrial park in Zhonghai City, Xiaguo."

Facing the reporter's doubts, James Chanos seemed very confident, and even said proudly: "In the field of portal websites, Yahoo, as a pioneer, has not yet been able to find a way to make money other than advertising, and Xiaguo Internet, as an imitator, Enterprises, what better way can they come up with?"

Speaking of this, James Chanos directly asserted: "Now relying on advertising to get through the money-burning stage and looking for new profit growth is the correct route. Anecdotally, cutting off advertising is directly ruining the hope of waiting for a comeback. How long can pure money be burned? I am not optimistic about this method, maybe the anecdote will disappear in the dark before dawn.”

As the founder of the Knicks Joint Fund, James Chanos is best at making money by shorting those listed companies, and now the entire Wall Street knows that Chanos is short-sighted.

What's more terrible is that the reasons given by James Chanos are quite sufficient-even Yahoo relies on advertisements to make money, why do you have a maverick as a mere Internet company in Xiaguo?
Therefore, as soon as the news was broadcast, the stock price of Fun News immediately fell and was coldly received by the entire market.

Some American stockholders who originally bought the shares of Fun News couldn't help but cursed at Lu Yiming, thinking that this was tantamount to fraud.

In a certain hotel, Ding Sanshi, who saw the news, slapped the table fiercely, feeling his whole body go through: "Nice job! Finally vented my anger on my behalf! Interesting news, right? Fuck me, you deserve it for being shorted, who told you not to do human affairs..."

While cursing, the mobile phone on the table rang, and Ding Sanshi connected cheerfully: "Hello?"

"Boss, our intraday quotation on NetEase has dropped again."

The expression on Ding Sanshi's face suddenly froze, and he said loudly: "what's UP! What's the matter this time?"

That subordinate said depressingly: "We have been affected by Chiyu. Investors in US stocks now feel that Xiaguo's portal website is not very good."

"I lost..."

Ding Lei seemed to have been struck by lightning, and collapsed on the sofa, turning into a salted fish, feeling extremely desperate.

Others have changed the version, it is awesome, and my stock price has fallen, and it is my stock price that has been short-sold and bad-mouthed?

Who did I provoke?

Destroy it, hurry up, tired.

However, it was Zhang Chaoyang who was in the worst mood. Ding Sanshi managed to get NetEase listed, but he hadn't had time to get in the car yet. The stocks in his hand were completely waste paper, and he couldn't cash out.

Those few brokerages who were willing to underwrite Sohu's stock are now retreating one by one. After all, the two Xiaguo portals, Quwen and Netease, have fallen so badly, why is Sohu an exception?

You Zhang Chaoyang dare to bet, but we are not willing to go crazy with you!

In this way, Zhang Chaoyang, who was rejected miserably, never stopped talking all the way back to the hotel where he stayed, and almost turned into a Zaan madman, exporting a meal to the eighteenth generation of Lu Yiming's ancestors.

If it hadn't been for the crime of murder, he would have planned to buy a gun now.

summer country.

The incident of the three major portals' encountering Waterloo in NASDAQ was reported back to China, causing an uproar in the huge Internet circle.

Even some celebrities in the financial industry also stood up to speak.

As the small stock god of Zhonghai, Wang Xiujie certainly would not let go of such an opportunity to criticize Lu Yiming, and immediately clamored in a program: "Lu Yiming's previous behavior was simply to raise the stock price by means of hype, and he was suspected of cutting leeks. This action seriously affected the image of our Xiaguo Internet company abroad, and I hope Lu Yiming can stand up and apologize to the public."

Even the host who sat across from him didn't dare to answer these words: "You said you want Lu's richest man to apologize?"

Wang Xiujie replied with a righteous face: "Of course, this is the conscience that practitioners in the financial industry should have, and it is also the responsibility that an investor should have."

host:"……"

"Good viewers, I am very grateful to Professor Wang for sharing his views. This is the end of our program. See you next time."

Wang Xiujie: "..."

When the program was broadcast, the domestic media rushed to report Wang Xiujie's remarks. They wished that Lu Yiming and Wang Xiujie would fight directly, so that their news would be explosive and gimmick enough.

The pressure came to Lu Yiming in an instant.

After all, things like "cutting leeks" are really hated by the majority of retail investors, and Wang Xiujie's "accusation" against Lu Yiming directly pushed him to the forefront.

Naturally, Lu Yiming is not someone who doesn't retaliate when he scolds. After all, he knows how to play with public opinion.

So soon he instructed the people under him to arrange a huge press conference, and as soon as he heard that Lu's richest man was willing to be interviewed, well-known financial newspapers and magazines all over the country sent special reporters to run away immediately Came to Zhonghai and interviewed him.

I saw the venue was bustling with hundreds of people gathered.

One of the reporters, wearing a light gray suit, stood up and asked first, "Mr. Lu, now many people think that you are maliciously manipulating the stock price and harming the interests of shareholders. Do you have any explanation for this?" ?”

Lu Yiming looked relaxed, and said with a smile: "Explain what? Even if I'm really cutting leeks, the ones I'm cutting are American leeks, but the owner hasn't said anything yet, can the dog's leg just sit still? I want to ask this Someone surnamed Wang, is he a citizen of the Xia Kingdom or a citizen of the United States? Have you got a green card? Are you just trying so hard to fight for your master?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, the relationship between Xia Guo and the United States is not much better, and the bombing of the embassy has not been over for a long time.At this time, Lu Yiming directly said that Wang Xiujie is the dog leg of the United States, which can be said to be very sharp words.

Later, Lu Yiming clarified solemnly: "As for the management of Fun News, it is a ridiculous accusation. James Chanos is a financial man who knows nothing about the Internet. The new business of Fun News will be launched soon. At that time, profitability will no longer be an obstacle to the development of Internet companies."

When the reporters heard this, they were immediately excited.

"The richest man in Lu deserves to be the richest man in Lu. He speaks bluntly. Even when facing foreigners, he doesn't seem shy at all."

"President Lu, what is the new business of Fun News?"

Facing the curiosity of the reporters, Lu Yiming certainly would not let go of this opportunity to publicize and build momentum, and immediately said: "Qingwen has officially cooperated with China Overseas Mobile and plans to launch a monthly subscription service for news text messages. The service includes several practical packages, such as weather Forecasts, current news and information, especially the sports section and financial section, can help mobile phone users obtain the best quality information services. Just spend a few dollars to be one step faster and grasp the latest and most complete information and news."

If the sports section is mainly for leisure and entertainment, then the services of the financial section directly involve money, which is very practical.

Especially for those users who often run outside and cannot sit in front of a computer desk all the time, whether they can obtain financial-related information in a timely manner can sometimes even be the difference between life and death.

For example, a stock in your hand is plummeting, and you don't know it. By the time you react, it may be completely cold.

For news media people, this business is also very practical.The hotspot is directly pushed to your mobile phone through SMS. Are you going ahead of your peers?
Immediately, these reporters were envious. After all, for them, chasing hot topics and creating topics is their job. The function launched by Lu Yiming is very suitable for them.

"Mr. Lu, when will this business be launched?"

Lu Yiming, who had been prepared for a long time, also directly announced at this time: "In three days, the news SMS monthly subscription service will be officially launched. We have also specially created a text message comment function, allowing users to express their opinions and comments under the news section. Comments. Specific functions and gameplay, you can try it yourself after it goes online."

Hearing that the monthly subscription service will be available in three days, the reporters immediately looked forward to it.

Quwen directly cut off all the advertisements to launch a mobile phone subscription service to make money, which is better than those who only play dog ​​skin plaster advertisements.

The most important thing is that it costs money to subscribe to a newspaper. Not only is it troublesome to get it, but it can only be read on specific occasions. Unlike a mobile phone, you can get the latest and most complete news anytime, anywhere. too big.To some extent, this is an epoch-making progress.

At the end of the interview, Lu Yiming said: "Everyone, don't rush to leave. The reporters who came to interview today have worked hard. Our company has just made a batch of cultural and creative products. I hope you can try them out. After you use them, remember to leave Give us feedback in the anecdote exchange area. After a while, you can go to the front desk of our company to pick it up."

Coming to interview and get presents, the situation opened up all of a sudden, and those reporters immediately became overjoyed.

"Boss Lu is very atmospheric."

"It's Mr. Lu who forgives us."

The reporters lined up at the backstage one by one to receive the gifts. When they opened it, they found a gold-plated fountain pen inside, which was from the Hero brand.Interesting brand logos are printed on these things, and they are properly customized, which looks very classy.

Even if you don't use it yourself, it's still very face-saving to give it away as a gift!
As the saying goes, a cannibal's mouth is soft, but his hands are short. After returning this time, why don't he try his best to give the richest man Lu a few good words?

After finishing the work, Lu Yiming returned to the office, lay down on the sofa comfortably, and said to Li Yiwen, "Cousin, make a pot of tea, I'm thirsty."

Li Yiwen said while making tea: "You still know how to play, and use the leftovers from the company's purchases to bribe these reporters. Then they will be ashamed to speak ill of you when they go back."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "That's right, resources are for utilization. I have to thank this old Wang. If he doesn't jump out, I can't find a reason to spread the news."

"really."

The next day, Quwen's SMS news service was successfully reported by journalists and media before it was officially launched, which attracted a lot of attention.Especially the mobile phone users in China rushed to tell each other. Obviously, Lu Yiming's solution really hit the mark for them.

For anecdotes, the SMS market is also a "panacea" for bringing back the dead.

You know, as early as March 5000, the number of mobile phone users nationwide in Xiaguo officially exceeded [-] million, and the mobile company became the second largest telecom operator in the world.

With such a huge base, even if only [-]% of users choose the anecdote, that would be an unimaginably huge benefit.

It is conceivable that as the first person to eat crabs, Anecdote must make a lot of money.

As for capital, they are not fools. As long as money is involved, their reaction is faster than lightning.

The market responded enthusiastically, and soon spread to the other side of the ocean. The stock price, which had originally fallen to around $[-], immediately began to soar like a rocket.

Wall Street, Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

Interesting news's stock price soared all the way, making many belated retail investors also become suspicious.

How is this going?

Didn't they sing bad news collectively before?

Compared to the puzzlement of retail investors, some well-informed stockbrokers have already begun to desperately scan the secondary market at this time, and frantically bought into the interesting stocks.

Even some people who couldn't grab the shares of Fun News started to grab the shares of NetEase, so that NetEase, which was not interested in a few days ago, suddenly became very popular now.

Sitting at home, Ding Sanshi, who came from the heaven of pies, was a little confused. He asked his subordinates again and found out that it was Lu Yiming who launched a new project of SMS news monthly subscription in China.

NetEase didn't do anything, and it belonged entirely to the one who was taken away. After all, they are both portal websites, and NetEase can do the same things that anecdotes can do.

But Ding Sanshi's mood at this moment is very complicated, he doesn't know whether he should be happy or angry, after all, now he has seen that Lu Yiming really didn't mean to target Netease on purpose before.

But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable he felt. After all, not being targeted meant that the opponent didn't take him seriously at all.

Or to put it more harshly, NetEase is not even worthy of being the opponent of Fun News.

Being underestimated is bad enough, let alone being ignored right now.

The more Ding Sanshi thought about it, the more angry he became, and immediately yelled at his subordinates: "A bunch of trash, why can't you think of such a good business model?"

Subordinate: "???"

Didn't you, the boss, never figure it out?

If I can figure it out, I'm going to be the boss, and I'm still working here with you?
Although he was full of slander in his heart, he said this in his heart, and he never dared to say it out loud. After all, life had to go on, and he still had to get his salary.

"Mr. Ding, you think highly of us. Can we compare with Lu's richest man?"

"Yes."

When the stock price plummeted before, the few executives who yelled at Lu Yiming changed their words: "Yes, Mr. Ding, there is only one Lu's richest man in this world, and he is the God of Wealth, so we can't compare?"

"Mr. Ding, the most important thing now is that Lu's richest man has pointed out a clear way for our portal website. What kind of monthly subscription for news and SMS, we NetEase can also do it!"

"Yes, there are quick hands and slow hands. In the final analysis, we are still faster than Sohu, which is not listed."

Ding Sanshi was very aggrieved, but he also understood that at this time, making money is the top priority, so he said immediately: "Okay, we will launch the mobile phone subscription service as soon as possible."

Room 501, Hilton Hotel, Times Square, New York.

Zhang Chaoyang was packing his luggage with a look of gloom on his face, preparing to return home tomorrow. The cost of living in this poor place in New York was too high for him.

He spent money to live in the Hilton for a smooth road show before, but now that the leeks are not cut, he regrets it to death in his heart, wishing that a group of executives under him can swim back with a swimming ring in their arms, so as to save money on air tickets.

At this time, Zhang Chaoyang suddenly received a call from the brokerage.

"Mr. Zhang, after our company's discussion and discussion, we feel that Sohu's business model is very mature and fully feasible. We are willing to underwrite Sohu's stock."

Everyone in Zhang Chaoyang was a little confused, and couldn't help saying: "Didn't you still say that Sohu is rubbish yesterday, and you can't even tell a touching story? Why are you saying that our business model is mature now?"

As a brokerage on Wall Street, his skin is naturally as thick as a city wall. Faced with Zhang Chaoyang's questioning of his old background, he still smiled unabated: "Isn't there an old saying over there that cognition is spiraling? We were talking about this before. I didn’t have enough knowledge of the business model, so I made an empirical mistake. However, after our company’s many meetings and discussions and a full exchange of opinions, we still agree that Sohu is an Internet company with great potential.”

Zhang Chaoyang was immediately dumbfounded.

Where the hell did you gringos steal this rhetoric from?
It's too bureaucratic.

What about the free market?Why are you all starting to speak bureaucratically?
What was the stimulus?

Although he was suspicious in his heart and had a new understanding of foreigners' back-and-forth, but after all, it was something that could make money, so Zhang Chaoyang had to put down his arrogance and said, "Can I know the reason?"

"Of course, do you know the mobile phone subscription service of Fun News Company?"

Obviously, because of the new model created by Lu Yiming, for many Internet companies that lack profit-making methods, this is tantamount to discovering a new world!

SMS has allowed Internet companies that have always been free to receive revenue from users for the first time, and it has also made wireless technology providers a hot commodity for mergers and acquisitions.

Even the portal website has become a favorite in the eyes of investors.

Zhang Chaoyang, who had experienced ups and downs in his life in a short period of time, was a little out of breath at the moment, and then his heart was pounding with excitement, feeling that he was definitely destined to return this time, otherwise how could he be brought back to life?It must be that God is helping me!
In an instant, he felt that he was doing it again.
