Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

In a forum, there are many camps.

On one side are the rational analysis of the public, and on the other side are blind Internet investors.

The rest are Wang Lei's supporters.

Wang Lei's words undoubtedly touched the cake of some people, attracting many voices to criticize him.

"Wang Lei is just a clown who relies on his family. He thinks that he is lucky enough to invest in a few Internet companies and can point the way?"

"He publicly criticized Pet.com, and his purpose is not pure."

"Look at the two companies he invested in, Amazon and eBay, both of which are in the pet sector, and you will understand why."

"The netizen above, you have discovered the truth!"

The conspiracy theory has led many people to stand up and accuse Wang Lei, thinking that it is not authentic to pull down and step on him.

Only Stanford and a group of relatively rational people support Wang Lei, but it is obvious that it is difficult for them to wake up this group of blind followers.

They think they have grasped the so-called truth.

Pet.com already has a plan to go public, and Wang Lei's speech at Stanford undoubtedly tore off their seemingly gorgeous fig leaf.

The office has been in a mess.

"Now shareholders are asking us to reduce advertising and make a profit within a year, otherwise they will choose to withdraw their shares!"

"Someone is analyzing our profitability and believes that even if our users double, there is no possibility of profitability."

...

All the news is bad. The founder of Pet.com is very distressed and tired.

No matter how noisy it is outside, he knows very well that Wang Lei is telling the truth. As a founder, he knows better than anyone that Pet.com is impossible to make a profit.

Pet.com is burning money very quickly. They have done their best to attract users to consume on their website.

But the effect is very poor. Even if they turn their attention to high-end users, the rebate effect is still not very good.

So much so that they have to spend $400 to get a new customer.

If Wang Lei knew their customer acquisition unit price, he would definitely laugh out loud. It would be better to give users cash directly. Register to get $5, invite 5 new users to get $100, and Wang Lei will transfer millions of users to him in minutes.

The founder had calculated very clearly that at the speed at which they were burning money, 80 million US dollars would only be enough for one year. If Pet.com did not go public within one year, it would enter the countdown to bankruptcy.

He was in a dilemma at this time, and was just being dragged forward by capital.

Only by going public could he and the investors behind him realize their capital, and the previous investment would not be wasted.

He knew very well that even if the listing was successful, Pet.com was destined to go bankrupt.

Investors on Wall Street are not fools, they all know this very well.

The people who will pay the bill in the end will definitely be the general public.

But what no one expected was that Wang Lei jumped out now to expose this lie.

"What did Mr. Guy say?"

"He meant to muddy the waters, formally file a complaint against Wang Lei, and report him to the market department for unfair competition."

The founder nodded and agreed:

"Let's do it!"

With the intervention of the Ross family, the direction of online discussions soon changed.

These people took things out of context and started a literary inquisition.

"Wang Lei is badmouthing the Internet. Damn it. This guy made money from the Internet, but now he wants to smash the pot and let us not even have a bite of soup."

"The Internet looks at the future. The general business profit logic does not apply to the Internet industry at all. It is normal to be unprofitable now. Which Internet company did not burn money crazily before its rise?"

"The Internet in the United States is creating a culture of losers' counterattack every day. Wang Lei is an outsider tycoon. Does he know what a free economy is?"

This time, even Wang Lei's few remaining supporters were defeated, because they often said a word, and thousands of netizens came out to teach them a lesson.

Even the Stanford students were a little shaken.

The original dispute in the forum had little to do with Wang Lei. He didn't have time to waste time on the line, but to exchange skills with his schoolmates.

But he unexpectedly received a court summons.

"Mr. Wang Lei, this is a subpoena from the court. Pet.com has suffered a lot of losses due to your false statements... I hope you can attend on time."

Wang Lei signaled his lawyer to take the subpoena.

He smiled contemptuously. This kind of lawsuit did not require him to attend in person. He could just send a representative to appear in court.

But this does not mean that he will admit defeat. If he sues him, the management of Pet.com must be crazy.

"Let the legal staff prepare well. If you lose this lawsuit, you will all go to the desert to plant trees."

Faced with the boss's threat, the big lawyers hurriedly promised not toThere will be no accidents.

At this time, the market supervision department of the United States came to the door again.

"Mr. Wang Lei, this is your ticket."

The law enforcement officers dared not to speak in front of Liu Hu's murderous eyes.

This is a contest between big men, but they, the little men in the middle, are facing the sharp edge.

"Hu, don't make it difficult for them. It's just 30,000 US dollars. Just give it to him."

The officer almost cried with joy. Just when he was about to say that it was great that you could recognize your mistakes, he heard:

"I can afford this money."

"According to my wealth, it's not a problem to scold them every day."

The law enforcement officers were sweating wildly, and the fine suddenly became hot.

Wang Lei did not confront those troublemakers, but it did not mean that others would let him go.

Watching the development of the situation, Guy showed a cruel smile.

He finally found a way to make Wang Lei a jumping clown.

The direction of public opinion on the Internet changed again:

"Wang Lei accepted the punishment and did not respond. He was afraid of us."

"He himself felt wronged, how could he dare to refute us."

...

Page was indignant and clattered on the keyboard, as if the keyboard had a grudge against him.

Sergey, who was busy, saw this scene and shook his head.

"Page, don't waste your energy on those people. Even if you grow ten hands, you are not their opponent. They are just the vast number of netizens who believe everything they hear."

Page suddenly stopped typing and said:

"You are right. I think we must let Senior Wang stand up and say a few words."

Thinking of this, Page rode his bicycle and came to the school in a swift and resolute manner.

He rushed into the high-end guesthouse where Wang Lei was staying temporarily.

Wang Lei, who heard the doorbell, hurriedly pulled up his pants and stuffed the school girl whose name he did not know into the closet.

"Paige, what's the hurry?"

Paige repeated the online ridicule in front of Wang Lei.

"Not fighting back is not my style."

"Senior, are you ready to explain to the public? These people are taking my words out of context!"

Wang Lei shook his head with a strange look on his face:

"Why should I explain? They said I was badmouthing the Internet. I might as well admit it. I want to see who scolds me the most!"
