Back in 2010: I owned 100,000 Bitcoins

Chapter 143 The other party’s methods

This is the first time that Youxin Company has encountered this kind of thing. Although a backup power system was installed when building the computer room, it did not pay attention to training before.

At first, the staff were a little panicked and didn't know what to do. Finally, under the command of Zhao Jianwen, after a period of busy work, the power supply to the computer room was finally restored ten minutes before the power outage.

Although it was only ten minutes, Zhao Jianwen, Cheng Yuan, Wang Ming and other company executives felt like their days were like years.

The anxious two people's foreheads were already covered with a thin layer of cold sweat, and their shirts were soaked.

At this time, posts about YOUXin being unable to log in were already appearing on the Internet. Many netizens were posting in Tieba, Tianya, Maopu and other major forums to discuss why YOUXin could not be logged in and messages could not be sent.

Soon major portal websites also updated news about this matter.

Without any time to think about it, Cheng Yuan, as the vice president in charge of the company's operations, quickly arranged for someone to tell Lu Pengfei the news and issued an announcement on the official website to appease people and try to minimize the negative consequences of the matter.

At this moment, Lu Pengfei received a strange phone call. When he answered the call, a man's cold voice came from the phone.

"Jiejie, Mr. Lu, how about that gift just now?"

Then the man warned in a very vicious voice, "This is just a small warning. If you don't know the current situation again, it won't be so simple next time!"

Without giving him a chance to respond, the other party hung up the phone, which made him a little confused!

Then his phone rang again, and he didn't hang up when he saw it was the company's call.

But soon, he understood what the gift the man was talking about on the phone just now was!

The hand holding the phone began to tighten involuntarily, and he cursed with a trembling voice.

"mean!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Pengfei hurried from school.

At this time, YOUXin's official website has issued an announcement, claiming that the server was disconnected due to a system BUG. Now that the system BUG has been patched by engineers, please feel free to use it.

But now the Internet has not calmed down because of this announcement. On the contrary, it has become more and more violent, with everything being said.

However, the main tone is that the YOU letter may have been hacked.

Later, someone was fanning the flames and spreading rumors that YOU was unsafe and could easily leak information.

Because registering YOU requires a phone number and email address, many people chose to uninstall YOU after this rumor came out.

In just one afternoon, YOUxin's installed capacity dropped from [-] million to less than [-] million.

Especially for iOS iPhone users, the richer they are, the more sensitive they are to information leakage. Two million units were uninstalled in just one afternoon.

For a time, YOUxin encountered the biggest crisis since its launch! It has even seriously threatened its survival.

The entire YOUXIN Company has become a mess, with some running away and some shouting loudly, and they are all busy dealing with various problems.

"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Zhao, we need to activate the emergency plan immediately. If we don't take action, your letter will be over!"

Lu Pengfei said to the two of them expressionlessly and without any warmth.

Lu Pengfei then pretended to be calm and arranged for the marketing director to lead his team to immediately negotiate with major media to try to withdraw the negative news about the YOU letter, and hired professional trolls to suppress public opinion.

The company's publicity department is also urgently convening major media outlets to prepare a press conference to refute the rumors.

Soon Lu Pengfei received concerned calls from relatives and friends, including calls from his parents, Han Yingying, Xu Xiaoxiao, Zhao Liying and Lei Jun.

Lu Pengfei didn't say much to them on the phone. He just said that there was no problem, it was just a small trouble and he would handle it soon, so they didn't have to worry.

Only Lei Jun’s phone call was the one he didn’t hang up in a hurry.

"Brother Lei, YOU Xin's situation is quite dangerous now. I want to discuss additional funds with you!"

Originally, he was planning to raise funds, but he didn't expect to be disrupted by this unexpected power outage.

Lei Jun thought for a moment on the other end of the phone and asked, "How much additional capital do you want?"

"Ten million dollars for now!"

Lei Jun was not busy talking, and silently calculated in his heart.

In addition to Zhao Jianwen's 20% stake, the entrepreneurial team's 10% stake, and his own 15.38% stake, Lu Pengfei now owns 54.62% of YOU Xin.

Now he wants to invest an additional 1000 million, and he has to invest more than [-] million U.S. dollars to ensure that his shares are not diluted.

After thinking for a moment, Lei Jun nodded on the phone and said, "Yes, I agree to your additional investment, but I also want to make additional investment. My shares cannot be diluted!"

Hearing this, Lu Pengfei was overjoyed and said happily, "Okay, thank you Brother Lei for your support. I will have someone send it to you when the capital injection contract is printed out!"

But then Lei Jun said, "Don't be too happy. My money may not arrive in the next two days. It will take half a month at the earliest to be transferred to the company account. You also know that I have invested in many projects. I usually don’t have so much cash on hand!”

Lei Jun said a little embarrassed.

Hearing this, Lu Pengfei said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. I have the money. You can slowly raise funds."

When he said this, Lu Pengfei felt a small sense of pride in his heart, and he felt a little happy when he thought of the US$[-] million in cash lying in the investment company's account.

"I didn't expect that! The famous Rebus is not richer than me now!"

After hanging up the phone with Lei Jun, Lu Pengfei found Zhao Jianwen and other team members who owned shares.

He told them about his plan to inject capital, but they did not refuse because the company was in a hurry to use money. If the company went bankrupt, they would lose more.

What's more, Lu Pengfei only injected capital. Although the shares will be partially diluted, the value of the shares has not decreased due to the increase in the company's assets!

Soon the company's financial director Wang Ming approached him.

"Boss! Although I know this is a critical moment for the company, and some things have to be done.

But the marketing department and the publicity department all went to the finance department to ask for funds, and there was nothing I could do! Now the company's account is really running out of money! "

Wang Ming stood in front of Lu Pengfei, blocking his way, and said anxiously.

Lu Pengfei patted Wang Ming on the shoulder and said, "Give them as much as they want. The money will be transferred to the company's account within an hour."

After saying this, without waiting for Wang Ming's reaction, Lu Pengfei missed him and continued walking forward.

Wang Ming reacted and curiously asked loudly, "Boss, how much does it cost?"

Without looking back, he raised his index finger, pointed at the ceiling and said, "Ten million dollars!"

After Wang Ming heard this, he felt relieved.

He muttered softly, "It's okay, it's okay! It's enough to take a few days!"
