Winning the new financial era

Chapter 474
"Let's talk about it. Such a big incident happened just in time for the Chinese New Year. Now people all over the country are watching our Ari's jokes."

Jack Ma glanced at the senior Ahri executives who were present, and everyone lowered their heads wherever they looked.

Jack Ma's reputation in Ahri is very high, and he is almost "deified".

Now that he is angry, no one dares to touch the bad head.

The only exception is Cai Xin, who is Ahri's largest individual shareholder other than Jack Ma, and is also the right-hand man that Jack Ma relies on very much.

Cai Xin persuaded: "I think this matter is not like Zhonghe Group's doing. The method is too low-level."

Jack Ma pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Let's put this aside for now, we need to check if Yang Weidong has any problems first?"

"Ah, it's not right, we have to investigate our own executives without evidence?"

"Yeah, can't Zhonghe Group do whatever it wants?"

"We can't mess things up on our own, and I think we need to think long-term."

……

Hearing these remarks from the executives, Jack Ma became very angry.

The bigger the company, the bigger the team, and the more thoughtful people are.

Jack Ma looked at a middle-aged man with glasses and half-white hair, and said, "General Gu Yong, tell me what to do?"

Gu Yongjiang is also a legend. He used to be the vice president of Sohu. On the eve of Jack Ma leaving the capital and returning to Lin'an to found Ali, it is said that he went to Sohu for an interview. The person who interviewed him at that time was Gu Yongjiang.

Later, Gu Yongjiang left Sohu and founded Youku Video, and also acquired Tudou Video, becoming China's largest video website in one fell swoop.

Later, Ari acquired Youku Tudou Group, and Gu Yong became the chairman of the strategy and investment committee of Ari Entertainment, and his immediate boss was Zhang Yong, the son of Xiaoyao.

Seeing Jack Ma questioning himself, Gu Yongjiang secretly groaned in his heart.

Yang Weidong was recommended by him to join Ahri, and he rose all the way to become the president of Youku.

It’s okay if Yang Weidong has no problems, but he can’t escape responsibility if there is a problem.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Yongjiang said: "I think it's the proper meaning to do some investigation, not to wrong a good person, and not to let any bad person go.

Just pay attention to the impact, if it is really all right, if it spreads badly, it will have a great impact on Weidong's personal reputation. "

Jack Ma nodded, looked at a small middle-aged woman with single eyelids sitting on one side, and ordered: "Jiang Fang, this matter will be investigated by your Integrity and Compliance Department."

Jiang Fang nodded solemnly, "Mr. Ma, please rest assured, leave this matter to us, and we will definitely investigate and find out."

The middle-aged woman's voice was not loud, but it also gave other executives a chill.

Jiang Fang is a student of Jack Ma and one of the Eighteen Arhats, with a job number of 13.

At the same time, there is also a nickname called "Master Miejue", who personally sent 6 Ari executives to prison. As for the ordinary employees involved, there are more, at least several hundred people.

Ahri's B2B "fraud incident", "Juhuasuan incident", "Mid-Autumn Mooncake Incident" and other controversial incidents are all investigated by the Integrity Department led by Jiang Fang.

Ari established the Ministry of Integrity and Integrity in 2009. It is an Internet company that established its own anti-corruption department earlier in China.

Similar to Ruixiang and Zhonghe, the main functions of Ahri’s Integrity Department are corruption investigation, prevention and compliance management.

This department is independent from the internal audit and internal control departments of each business line, and only reports to the CPO of the group, and there is no upper limit on the investigation authority.

"Well, Mr. Ma, should you consider withdrawing the lawyer's letter from Zhonghe?

I heard that Zhonghe has already reported the case to the public security organ, and also sent us a lawyer's letter, wanting to countersue us for defamation.

I suggest taking it slow first, let's check it out here, and then make the next decision..."

Jack Ma interrupted the executive's speech, "No need, it's already been posted, there's no reason to withdraw it.

Even if there is a problem, it is not up to the competitor Zhonghe Group to point fingers. "

Seeing that Jack Ma said so, no one dared to mention the withdrawal of the lawyer's letter.

They only hope that Yang Weidong is really okay, otherwise Ari will lose someone again.

……

After Ahri fired, it was like firing a flare gun, and other companies started pulling the triggers.

Yangcheng Daily, Phoenix News and other media sued Tiantian Toutiao for reposting news from their platforms at will, suspected of copyright infringement.

Today's headlines are enough to cause headaches for these traditional media, and now there is another headline.

Moreover, with the support of the traffic of Zhonghe Group's matrix products, Tiantian Toutiao has grown rapidly, and has the momentum to become the second Toutiao today. This is simply forcing them to a dead end.

All the manuscripts written with hard work were moved to their platforms by these natural porters.

Attention, traffic, and advertising fees all went into the pockets of these unscrupulous news aggregation apps, and they didn't get a penny of benefits.

Whether it is to protect their own interests or to warn Tiantian Toutiao, they must do this.

The lawsuits between traditional media and Toutiao have been going on for two or three years, and most of them still have no results.

The legal department of Zhonghe Group naturally followed suit, and began to countersuit these traditional media following Toutiao.

The legal department of Zhonghe Group said, "Without any factual basis, deliberately fabricating the article of "Tiantian Toutiao's plagiarism" has violated the right of reputation of Tiantian Toutiao. Zhonghe Group will take up legal weapons to defend its right of reputation."

Qiandu’s iQiyi sued Zhonghe Group’s DouTV, saying: “Without permission, Zhonghe Group uploaded its online copyrighted film and television work “Emergency Doctor” through a short video, demanding an immediate stop to the infringement. Behavior, publicly apologize, and compensate iQiyi for 3000 million yuan in losses.”

Zhonghe Group publicly responded: "The short videos involved in the case were uploaded and published by users, and Zhonghe Group did not directly provide online playback of the short videos involved in the case, which does not constitute direct infringement."

In addition, Zhonghe Group also sued Qiandu to the court. The reason for the lawsuit is that "Qiandu searched without permission and grabbed the content of Douyin, which is suspected of infringement", and demanded Qiandu to apologize publicly and compensate 3000 million economic loss.

Penguin is even more fierce, suing Zhonghe Group for infringing Penguin's copyright, and prohibiting the three major live broadcast platforms of Doushi, Kuaishou, and Station B from live broadcasting the game King of Glory.

Require Zhonghe Group to compensate 1 million yuan for losses and make a public apology.

Zhonghe Group naturally disagreed, and Doushi counter-sued Weishi, claiming that the latter moved the short video of Douvision.

At this point in the matter, everyone understands that the three companies of BAT are going to attack Zhonghe Group.

The reason is simple, the cheese of the three companies was touched.

The e-commerce sector conflicts with Ali, the entertainment sector conflicts with Penguin, and the content sector conflicts with Qiandu.

On the surface, the threat posed by Zhonghe Group to Qiandu is much smaller than that of the other two.

But Qiandu is also impatient. With Zhonghe's advertising business growing, they feel that Qiandu's advertising business is shrinking, and a large number of advertisers have gone to Zhonghe Group.

This is not bad, what kind of brotherhood between teachers and brothers can only be thrown aside.

For Qiandu, the advertising business is the last lifeline, and whoever moves is in a hurry.

Huya, Douyu, Zhihu, Maimai, Weibo and other platforms have also started to stand in line, and with the support of the behind-the-scenes bosses, sued Zhonghe Group according to their own reasons.

The Zhonghe Group is considered an enemy of the entire Internet circle, and took over the karma for Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming spent the New Year happily in his hometown in Fujian Province, and his life was very chic.

Zhang Yida couldn't live a good life all year, and flew back to the capital on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

All the executives of Zhonghe Group were also recalled to overcome the difficulties together.

　Thanks for the 1100 rewards from the Zonghengduke brothers!
