My 1999

"I didn't expect that Xinlang's board of directors would be so dirty. They drove away the founder for money."

“Knowing people but not knowing their hearts, you never know whether the person around you is a human or a ghost.”

"No wonder Xinlang hasn't made any achievements during this period. His relationships are just stupid things."

"Mao Daolin get out, Wang Zhidong is back."

"Support Hongmeng."

“Support Hongmeng’s acquisition of Xinlang.”…

Li Yanhong looked at the news on the Internet with hesitation on her face.

As Wang Zhidong, the tragic founder, came forward to give his own account, the image of "for the healthy development of the Internet" created by Duan Yongji and others was instantly reversed, and all the criticism fell in favor of Wang Zhidong.

In particular, the news that Hongmeng Company announced that it would re-hire Mr. Wang Zhidong as the company's president after acquiring Xinlang has intensified this tendency.

In this unfavorable environment, even he who had promised to help Duan Yongji promote public opinion online became hesitant.

After thinking for a while, he sent the document he had edited long ago.

Now Baidu's main business is enterprise search. Companies of all sizes across the country are his customers, not ordinary people.

And Tai Shanhui's energy is too great, and he can't afford to offend him.

"The Rise of Hongmeng, the Tragedy of the Industry" - Li Yanhong.

"The state should control the disorderly development of the Internet and prevent the emergence of industry trusts like Hongmeng Company" - Liu Jianhong, external economist at Observer.com.

"Down with Hongmeng and restore the clear sky to the industry" - Shi Yuzhu of Giant Group.

Xu Liang looked at the news on the Internet and said with a smile: "The ghosts and ghosts are all gone."

"Mr. Xu, we should also increase crisis public relations to prevent the situation we have finally created from being destroyed by them." Xie Wen said.

Xu Liang nodded.

"There are three days until the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, and they can't change the situation."

Xie Wen nodded, looking a little worried, "Should we ask someone from above?"

Xu Liang thought for a while and nodded.

He knew that Duan Yongji was a key member of the Taishan Club, and although the guys in the Taishan Club were not very good at running a business, they had a knack for conspiracy.

Moreover, their relationship with the government is indeed unusual, and they do need to be vigilant in advance.

Dong Dong…….

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Lu Hui opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Xu, I just received a call from Information Industry Bu Technology Development Si, inviting us to meet at the Information Industry Bu office area at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss the acquisition of Sina."

Xie Wen's face showed worry, "Mr. Xu, here we come."

"Don't worry, I'll make a call first and ask."

After signaling the two of them to be quiet, Xu Liang took out his cell phone and called Jiang Weiguo.

The call was quickly connected, and a steady voice came over.

"Xu Liang?"

"It's me. Mr. Jiang Shu, excuse me, I have something to ask...?"

"Has the Information Industry Department made an appointment with you?"

"You know?" Xu Liang was a little surprised.

"After all, your Hongmeng company is also the banner of the Internet technology industry in Beijing. Regarding your issues, the Information Industry Bureau will of course communicate with us."

"Jiang Shuji, what preparations should we make?"

"There is no need to prepare anything. The state will not interfere with normal business operations. This time, the main purpose is for you to sit down with Sina's management to discuss the ownership of Sina. Otherwise, you will be quarreling every day, exposing each other's past, and it will be too embarrassing. "

Hearing this, Xu Liang was relieved.

"I understand, I will go on time tomorrow."

"As long as you understand. As long as it is a legal business, there is no need to worry."

"yes."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Xie Wen, who was still a little worried, and smiled.

"Lao Xie, we will go on time tomorrow."

Looking at his expression, Xie Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

——

The next day, Xu Liang and Xie Wen, along with several staff from the company, came to the office area of ​​the Information Industry Bu.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the people who were arranged here in advance were taken to a conference room.

He met an acquaintance head-on.

In the large conference room, Duan Yongji, Mao Daolin, Wang Yan, and others from Sina were already sitting down.

The two sides looked at each other, but no one planned to speak.

Xu Liang led his people over and sat across the long conference table across from everyone in Sina.

Opposite Xu Liang was Duan Yongji. He was looking at this "Old Fox of Zhongguancun" who was getting worse and worse in later generations and whose reputation had collapsed. Looking at his life, he could be called a good player in politics, but his ability to run a business was ordinary. very.

In the early 1990s, Stone Group was a banner among private enterprises. Its annual net profit was close to 800 million thanks to its flagship product 'MS-2401 Chinese Typewriter'.

The 800 million in 19293 is equivalent to the current 50 billion Chinese currency, which is the level of giants such as Alibaba and Penguin.

Such a highly profitable company collapsed in just six or seven years after entering the 21st century.

As the general manager of Sitong, Duan Yongji can be said to have great ambitions but little talent, and he is very poor at playing good cards.

Squeak.

The door opened and several people walked in.

The one at the front was a tall and slender middle-aged man wearing a black suit and black-rimmed glasses.

"Director Wang."

Duan Yongji was the first to stand up, with a flattering smile on his face.

Xu Liang also stood up with everyone.

Director Wang glanced around, and when he saw Xu Liang, he couldn't help but take a second look. Otherwise, he was too young.

"Everyone, sit down and talk."

He waved his hand.

After he sat down on the main seat in the middle, everyone also sat down.

"Has President Xu Liang of Hongmeng arrived?"

"Hello, Director Wang, I am Xu Liang."

"Mr. Xu is really young and promising."

"You flatter me."

After Director Wang smiled, he turned his eyes and looked a little more serious.

"I called everyone here today because I want you both to sit down and discuss the Sina issue. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to argue and expose each other every day and make the whole country uproar."

"Director Wang, of course we at Sina want to sit down and talk, but Hongmeng has gone too far to bully others. Not only has it colluded with foreigners to secretly acquire our shares, but it has also collaborated with some villains to throw dirty water on our Sina and make up lies. I urge the organization to punish Hongmeng. This shit-stirring stick has restored peace and tranquility to the Internet industry." Duan Yongji said angrily.

"Director Wang, what Mr. Duan means is also what our Sina means. Hongmeng used its industry influence to openly spread rumors and smear Sina's reputation, and even carried out personal attacks. It is recommended that the country strictly investigate." Mao Daolin also spoke immediately.

"Director Wang, the development of Hongmeng has seriously affected the development of the Internet industry. The Ministry of Information Industry should immediately spin it off to maintain the healthy development of the industry." Wang Yan is not far behind.

Looking at the people who were attacking, Director Wang quickly waved his hand to calm them down, then turned to look at Xu Liang.

"Mr. Xu, what do you say to the accusations made by Mr. Duan and others?"

Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Liang said calmly: "I just heard Mr. Duan, Mr. Mao and Mr. Wang attack us, and they went back and forth on just a few questions.

First, it is said that we colluded with foreigners to secretly acquire Sina shares.

Second, they said we were fabricating lies to slander Sina.

Third, it is said that Hongmeng’s monopoly hinders the healthy development of the industry.

I answer these three questions in turn.

First, Sina is an Internet company listed on NASDAQ in the United States relying on the ‘VIE’ structure and is regulated by the SEC, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our acquisition of Sina's shares is also within the institutional framework of the SEC and is an open, fair and legal acquisition.

This can be proven from the system change documents about Sina released by the SEC.

Second, it is said that we fabricated lies to slander Sina. Where is the evidence? Why did we slander Sina? "

"Of course you are slandering Sina. What Wang Zhidong said recently in the "Dialogue" column is slander. Now that he has joined Hongmeng, do you dare to say that there was no instigation from you behind his words?" Duan Yongji interrupted Xu Liang. if.

Seeing his angry look, Xu Liang smiled lightly.

"I also watched the "Dialogue" column recorded by Mr. Wang Zhidong. I would like to ask Mr. Duan, what is wrong with what he said? Did you not kick him out of Sina? Or did you repeatedly set up obstacles in the acquisition of the website Daquan? wrong?"

Duan Yongji sneered: "I will also answer Mr. Xu's two questions.

First, driving Wang Zhidong out of Sina is a very reasonable choice.

"For Sina.com, Sitong has invested tens of millions of yuan for eight or nine years, but has not received a penny in return.

I get 200,000 yuan a year and make so many contributions to the country.

Wang Zhidong gets 300,000 US dollars a year and doesn't earn a penny. Is this fair?

You Hongmeng spread rumors that it was bloody for us to drive away Wang Zhidong. Isn’t it bloody for him, Wang Zhidong, to burn money desperately?

Second, regarding the acquisition of a complete website collection.

We didn't set any obstacles, it was just that the conditions were not agreed upon. Why can't we reach an agreement? It's because Hongmeng has a hidden ambition to acquire Sina.

The purchase price of US$90 million requires at least half of Sina's equity. By then, coupled with the 8.7% equity you already own in Sina, Hongmeng can obtain 30% of Sina's equity and become the real major shareholder.

It was precisely because we were aware of your conspiracy to acquire Sina that we decisively gave up the acquisition. "

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Mr. Duan, would you like me to show you the minutes of the original negotiation between us? This was not the condition you negotiated with us at that time."
