Rebirth 2006, creating a super consortium

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a rapid knock on the door...

Ma Huateng, who was sleeping on the sofa in the CEO's office, opened his eyes dazedly and looked at his watch: 09:06! He immediately perked up, sat up straight and shouted to the door, "Come in!"

Liu Chiping opened the door, walked in with a serious expression, and then said anxiously to Ma Huateng on the sofa: "Pony, something happened!"

Ma Huateng was confused. He looked up at Liu Chiping and asked in confusion, "I only slept for three hours. What could have happened? Oh? What's going on on Weibo again?"

"It's not a small move! It's a big move!"

Liu Chi Ping first corrected the question, and then explained in detail: "I don't know how Weibo got some mainstream TV and newspaper media to agree to carry out large-scale coverage of our plagiarism.

I made a brief summary and found that 9 mainstream TV stations released related news during their morning news. The lengths varied, some were 1 minute, some were two or three minutes!

In addition, 35 mainstream newspapers carried related reports in the newspapers issued today, 15 of which were front-page headlines and 20 were social headlines!

In addition to television and newspaper media, the three major portals and other large and small information websites have also joined in, and almost all of them are front-page headlines!

Now there are voices everywhere on the Internet cursing us, and relevant public opinion has already formed!"

"What?! How could this happen?"

After listening to Liu Chiping's report, the remaining sleepiness in Ma Huateng disappeared immediately, and his facial expression looked very surprised!

Liu Chiping glanced at the shocked Ma Huateng and replied, "Our public relations department is too bad. Not only did they not smell any wind in advance, but they didn't even have an effective way to deal with this situation!"

Ma Huateng knew that Penguin’s public relations department was indeed a bit rotten, but he also understood that Liu Chiping was taking the opportunity to flatter Chen Yici!

As one of the Five Tigers of Penguin and also the COO, Chen Yici doesn't pay much attention to Liu Chiping, the COO, in the daily management affairs of the group, and the two have deep conflicts!

After thinking for a while, Ma Huateng asked, "What will they say? Shouldn't they ask him to contact Deputy Mayor Chen to give An Xin a warning?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chiping immediately shook his head and replied, "Pony, don't even think about this! Chen Yici just reported that since An Xin appeared on the news broadcast, Deputy Mayor Chen refused to meet with him and completely overturned what had been discussed before!"

Ma Huateng was very confused: "Oh? Isn't it because of his orphan status and charity donations that An Xin appeared on the news? Is Deputy Mayor Chen afraid of this?"

Liu Chiping said bitterly, "No, Deputy Mayor Chen said that after the press conference, leaders from the central government and the province called the Shenzhen Municipal Government to inquire about An Xin's specific situation.

If this was just routine attention, then the name An Xin mentioned at the press conference made Deputy Mayor Chen give up all his tricks! "

"Who?"

"Wang Dana! According to Deputy Mayor Chen, this Wang Dana is not only a core member of the Guangdong Provincial Zhongda system, but he was also promoted to the executive deputy director of a certain bureau of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee some time ago. This bureau is the core bureau of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, and is specifically responsible for the review and inspection of the direct cadres of various provinces and cities. He has great power!"

"The core members of the Zhongda School?!"

Ma Huateng was really shocked!

As a person from Guangdong Province with a little wealth and many of his elders working in the provincial system, he has seen some of the world and knows very well what being a core member of the CUHK system means!

If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Dana will at least be a deputy provincial-level official in the future!

What worries Ma Huateng the most is that although his ancestral home is in Chaoshan area, the company behind it is not the Mei School, but foreign capital!

This time I really hit a wall! I'm in big trouble!

I originally thought that the Shenzhen Stock Exchange was my base, but now it seems to be a base where I feel safe!

Maybe Anxin's next wave of attack will be to use some force to give himself a severe blow!

"Dong dong dong..."

The hurried knock on the door interrupted Ma Huateng's thoughts and made him feel even more uneasy!

Is An Xin’s next wave of attack coming soon?

After quickly calming down his uneasy emotions, he shouted with a serious expression: "Come in!"

Chen Yici pushed the door open and walked in, and said to the two people in the room in a panic, "Weibo has made another move!

Weibo officially issued a new announcement, announcing that it has filed a lawsuit with the Shenzhen Court, and will sue Penguin for directly copying all the structural functions of Weibo without Weibo's permission, which is suspected of seriously infringing Weibo's related copyrights!

In addition, Weibo also announced that within the next week it will sue Penguin in the High Court of Hong Kong, where Penguin is listed, for plagiarizing all of Weibo's creative and structural functions, and is suspected of serious violation of international intellectual property laws.

At that time, the Hong Kong High Court will be asked to issue a short-term restriction order in accordance with relevant laws and regulations to temporarily freeze or restrict Penguin's listing qualifications and all stock transactions. The relevant restriction order can only be lifted after the case is judged!"

"what?!"

"Are you crazy?!"

Ma Huateng and Liu Chiping were stunned after hearing this!

The force of thunder, like a mountain pressing down on your head!

Rest assured that this is to solve all problems at once!

Ma Huateng was the first to react and immediately asked Chen Yici: "What about the stock price? Have you paid attention to the changes in our stock price?"

Chen Yici nodded and replied with a little bitterness: "After 20 minutes of opening, the stock price has fallen from 22.6 Hong Kong dollars to 19.2 Hong Kong dollars, a drop of more than 15%. The market value has fallen to about 323 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is still falling."

Ma Huateng and Liu Chiping looked at each other, and were speechless for a moment...

After a long while, Ma Huateng asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Martin, how much money has been spent on the Penguin Weibo project?"

Liu Chi Ping immediately understood what Ma Huateng wanted to do. After quickly filtering the financial information, he gave a direct answer: "The current expenditure on TV and newspaper channels is 1030 million. We have also signed a follow-up cooperation agreement of up to 3600 million, and have paid 720 million to reserve channel delivery business for the next month. If the cooperation is cancelled now, the 720 million deposit will become a penalty and will not be refunded.

In addition, celebrity endorsement expenses are 1200 million, celebrity entry expenses are 1160 million, and there are some miscellaneous expenses that add up to about 300 million. The current estimated total expenditure is 7290 million, and the actual expenditure is 4410 million!"

After patiently listening to Liu Chiping's report, Ma Huateng muttered "4410 million" and then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Liu Chiping and Chen Yici did not dare to disturb them and fell into silence.

Soon, Ma Huateng raised his head, glanced at the two of them with a sinister look, and then said with a slight sigh: "We have been hunting geese all day, but we are finally pecked by them! We have hit a wall this time!

Martin, once this happens, you two should go and notify all executives and legal advisors to prepare for an emergency meeting. I need to contact some people to see if there is any room for maneuver. I'll be in the meeting room soon!"

"Yes!"

"Ok!"

The two of them agreed without hesitation and walked out of the CEO's office to prepare for the meeting...
