Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

/*Note: There are instructions at the end of the article*/

On January 21, 2021, in the main conference room of a flower-growing company called Luban Technology Company, a board of directors voting proposal was being held.

After seeing that 4 people present had clearly expressed their approval of the proposal to remove the chairman and CEO from the position, a handsome white man sneered and aggressively approached another flower-growing man with an imposing figure.

"Director Ning, except for your two clear votes, among the nine directors, only Yunfeng, Tengxun, and Sequoia have not yet voted. But do you think you still have hope?"

The man called Director Ning by the white man is Ning Zimo, who is the chairman and CEO of Luban Technology.

At this time, he was still sitting in the upper position with his face as usual, his fingertips tapping regularly on the table.

It seemed that the strange chaos in front of him didn't matter to him at all.

In fact, Ning Zimo, who was at the center of the incident, just didn't express his inner anxiety directly on his face.

Because before today's board meeting, he knew what kind of scene he would face.

Today, after the progress of the board of directors confirmed what he had in mind, he suddenly understood something new.

In Ning Zimo's view, the crisis at hand is not just faced by his family.

Speaking of which, it started since 2018 when senior executives of Huawei were detained without reason in Maple Kingdom.

There were 10 companies in succession that were busy expanding their international business and were on the rise of the emerging Internet. Software companies were inexplicably suppressed.

It is common practice to spread rumors on the Internet and detain key technical personnel. What’s more, they are pursued and intercepted in many aspects such as funds, resources, politics, and suppression by competitors.

Luban Technology was founded by Ning Zimo and his two friends Lu Fei and Lin Changxin in 2008. It has been developing continuously for 12 years as of 2021. Since it was listed on Nasdaq 4 years ago, it has also flourished for several years.

year time.

But just like this, Luban Technology, which has found a new way to develop steadily, has become the target of inexplicable attacks this time.

Six months ago, Ning Zimo's right-hand man, Luban Technology CTO Lin Changxin, was detained on unfounded charges while on a business trip in Feng Country.

Five months ago, the four international ERP giants in Luban Technology's industry actually lowered their prices at the same time, providing cheaper services to Luban Technology's old customers to attract them to switch service providers.

Under such heavy blows, Luban Technology's customer churn rate was as high as 50% during this period.

The stock price continued to fall, reaching as low as 40% of its highest value six months ago.

You know, Luban Technology half a year ago had a market value half that of the second largest ERP industry giant - nearly 60 billion US dollars.

However, the profitability of Luban Technology during the same period even exceeded that of the four giants, especially that of SAP, which specializes in ERP, by nearly 15%!

If the news that Luban Technology's board of directors dismissed the chairman and CEO were to come out today, all the team's hard work over the past 12 years would be in vain!

Thinking of this,

Ning Zimo suddenly laughed in front of everyone,

His smile made the already strange boardroom situation seem even weirder.

Facing everyone's confusion, Ning Zimo raised the corners of his mouth and tapped the table with his fingertips again, "Since the final situation has not yet been decided, as the chairman of the board, it should be okay for me to temporarily adjourn the meeting, right?"

When Ning Zimo spoke, his pace was steady and his demeanor remained the same, which attracted curious gazes from others, and several scorching eyes from around him.

"No problem," the white man curled his lips and shrugged coolly, saying with an indifferent expression, "Dr. Ning is respectfully known as the 'Humanoid Logic Machine' in the industry, so we still have to give him proper respect. But I want

I would like to remind Mr. Ning that what you may be seeing right now is Goldman Sachs, but in fact our Wuzhishan is much bigger than you think."

The white man scratched his right hand with a clawed hand. While showing off his Chinese ability, he also did not forget to show off his knowledge of flower-growing culture.

Ning Zimo glanced at him indifferently, then turned around and walked out of the office with the senior vice president and his childhood friend, Luffy.

…

There is a large terrace at the far side of Luban Technology's office on this floor.

At this moment, Ning Zimo rested his elbows on the railing at the far side of the terrace, looking at the buildings below him, smoking silently, while Fa Xiao Luffy beside him leaned against the railing with his back.

Luffy didn't light the cigarette in his hand, he just held it in his hand. He looked up at the sky and sighed after a long time, "Being led by that arrogant guy all the way in English, it didn't feel like I was in my own room."

It’s the same as at home.”

Ning Zimo narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "This is still our home court, but we are suppressed by a powerful opponent."

"It must be more than just Goldman Sachs!" Luffy gave the impression that his teeth were tense when he spoke.

Ning Zimo nodded affirmatively, "Yes, there are masterminds behind Goldman Sachs. Their powerful power can even make capital succumb. You can imagine how long and crazy this hand that covers the sun is!"

"Who could it be?"

"I don't know either," Ning Zimo stared at the rain-washed city outside his field of vision, paused before continuing, "10 flower planting companies have been targeted by opponents from various industries, and they have also used various abnormal means. Recently,

It was even more rampant in two months. If it weren’t for tight organization and premeditation, who could have carried out such a precise attack?”

Ning Zimo's words made Luffy's face turn even uglier, so Luffy was speechless for a while.

After a quiet moment, Luffy smiled bitterly and asked, "Don't we have a chance to win this time?"

Ning Zimo shook his head, and Luffy's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

"From our company's point of view, Ashin is controlled by them and will not be able to regain his freedom for a year or so. We are completely incapable of dealing with their backhand!

Looking at the overall situation, our suppressed flower-growing companies started too late in the Internet and suffered from too many constraints.

If we could concentrate on development for 20 years like Huawei, Ali, and Tengxun, we would certainly not be in this situation now.

Because only when we are so strong that we cannot be shaken, we will not suffer such dangers.

Perhaps the only thing we can be thankful for is that before going public, we secured a lot of benefits for the old guys who worked with us, so everyone will at least have a worry-free life in the future."

After Ning Zimo finished speaking, he looked into the distance and murmured, "If I had the opportunity to go back to 20 years ago, I am confident that I can create a powerful and unshakable pattern, leaving these behind-the-scenes masterminds with no place to attack, and even we can

Turn around and go back to the tiger's den!"

What I could do 20 years ago is completely different from what I can do now, not to mention that the person speaking is my 37-year-old child.

Luffy knew that the fact that the always tough Ning Zimo could say such a thing meant that even his "human logic machine" couldn't think of a way to crack it.

Feeling the helplessness, Luffy patted Ning Zimo on the shoulder and smiled, "I think you want to go back 20 years ago to rescue my sister, so that you don't have to be so timid emotionally."

"It's been 20 years, and you can't use the pain of your sister's death to ease my pain. Isn't that my sister?"

"Hey, she is no longer the girl of your dreams?"

Ning Zimo glanced at Luffy, knowing that he was trying to divert her attention, so she shook her head, "It's all over. After all, my relationship with Sister Luna is just a first love story of a teenager."

Luffy looked at Ning Zi's true acquiescence and knew that his plot had succeeded, so he stopped mentioning the topic and asked, "Yesterday, I talked to the old guys. The worst thing is that if I lose, I'll start over again. Follow you,

There must be a chance for a comeback. So they choose to stand with you and carry it together!"

"Hey, executives who earn tens of millions a year are so willing to give up?"

"That's necessary. They are all holding back and want to invest more in new projects."

"Hahahaha, if they are so big-hearted, then don't I only have one way?"

"You brought out the wolf cubs all by yourself, and the dogs were all forced away. What are the habits of the remaining guys? Don't you know?"

Ning Zimo nodded with satisfaction after listening to Luffy's words, and took one last puff before putting the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

After another pause, Ning Zimo sighed slightly, "Yunfeng, Tengxun, and Sequoia, at least one position has been penetrated."

Hiss~~~

Luffy took a breath of air and said with confusion, "Can your three confidantes be penetrated by others?"

"You can pull it off, Li Ying and I just appreciate each other!"

"Zhao Yanan? Lu Xiaona?" Luffy called two names in succession, but in the end he could only shake his head, "Forget it, your feelings have always been messy. Who betrayed you, how can you tell clearly? Do you want to

It's your business to continue to be confused."

Luffy melancholy imitated Ning Zimo's gesture, and took a deep look at the city after the rain, then turned to look at Ning Zimo, "Are you ready to exercise a veto?"

"You are all willing to accompany me to pieces, so of course I will go there, right?"

Luffy smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of people saying that this is a 'I can fuck me, it's 3:0 anyway' ending?"

Hahahahahahahaha...

"I know my own affairs, how can trolls help me survive this disaster?" Ning Zimo raised the corner of his mouth and smiled unscrupulously.

After a while, he completely put away the sharp expression on his face and continued, "However, we don't know who is behind the scenes. Although you can say that you will take revenge on the four giants when you find an opportunity, you can even say that you are happy.

We need to kill the mastermind behind this. But in today’s situation, it is bound to be difficult.”

Luffy shook his head in relief, "After all, we have had the experience of eating steamed buns and instant noodles for a month, and we have also had the experience of spending extravagantly in bars after our income increased. We have lied on the ground and looked at the top of the mountain. No matter how difficult the days are,

With our concerted efforts, we will surely make a comeback! Besides, my handsome face can still be taken care of by my wife."

"Hey, the pretty boy has become so shameless, so annoying!" At this critical moment, Ning Zimo was actually happy.

Luffy glanced at him, threw the unlit cigarette into the ashtray and said no more.

Ning Zimo stood up, threw the cigarette butt in, made a false move with his fingers, and started singing.

"Look ahead, the dark hole must be the thief's lair. When I catch up, I will kill him completely!"

Before Lao Sheng stepped out of the way, Ning Zimo suddenly stopped and said with a smile, "The fortune teller also said that I am destined to have a double destiny, sacrifice my life to become a benevolent person, turn back as a prodigal son, and achieve great things."

"But pull it down, the 16 characters of 'liangzi' are accurate. But when combined together, they are not accurate at all!"

The moment he pushed open the terrace and entered the door, Ning Zimo turned back and raised his eyebrows at Luffy, "Tell me, if we could go back twenty years ago, would I be able to sharpen the giant hardness into Microsoft?"

Luffy burst out laughing when he heard this, and Ning Zimo couldn't help laughing either.

Amidst the laughter, both of them had a look of hostility on their faces.

***+***

Night has come, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are open, allowing the sound of waves to penetrate into the house through the cracks.

The continuous sound of waves accompanied by the humid sea breeze blew across the skin of the two people in the house.

The waves roared onto the beach,

The wave has not yet ended,

A new wave comes again and again.

The wind and rain are sometimes swift and powerful, sometimes continuous.

Accompanied by thunder and wild waves, the tide spread over every beach.

The tide comes with the violent storm,

When the tide stops and the clouds collect, the rain stops.

After the ebb tide gradually subsides,

Looking at Lu Xiaona who was too lazy to move her eyelashes, Ning Zimo stood up and walked to the balcony, staring at the beach in the distance.

A few hundred meters away there is a dirt truck, like ants moving, filling the original sea area into the ground.

When I bought this house, it still had a sea view, but now it has gradually changed.

No one can predict what the future will bring,

You can only live in the present and do your best.

and,

sometimes,

So what if we knew the future?

Even if we are going to be defeated tomorrow, will we be able to turn back when we draw the bow?

Life,

no regrets,

Just fine!

At this moment, a pair of jade arms quietly passed through Ning Zimo's arms and hugged him.

The owner of the hot body said with a soft voice, "How much do you like Avril Lavigne's songs? Every time you encounter a problem, you always take them out and listen to them again."

Ning Zimo lowered his head, just in time to see the fine beads of sweat still hanging on Lu Xiaona's face.

At this time, she was a charming woman to the core,

Every word and action,

A frown and a smile,

The coquettishness when she is open without any reservation is completely different from the competence in daily work.

When the four eyes meet, one can still see something hidden by the other person.

We all felt these things just now, but they were holding it back and venting it out in a different way.

Lu Xiaona didn't know what suddenly occurred to her. She pursed her lower lip and gently stroked Ning Zimo's face with her fingertips, as if caressing a cherished treasure.

"It would be great if I could meet you sooner."

Ning Zimo heard some meaning in her words, but still continued to look into the distance.

Lu Xiaona loved and hated his smiling and silent look, but she was powerless and could only tighten her arms and hug him tighter.

The two of them stood like logs for three minutes.

When the wind blows between two pieces of wood,

It won't have any impact on the wood.

This night was supposed to pass like this,

Suddenly, Lu Xiaona felt her body rising into the air, which made her scream in surprise. She had no choice but to hug Ning Zimo's arm tightly, and he held him in his arms, then stepped on the rhythm of the music and walked into the house.

"Since there are some things you don't dare to say, and I don't want to ask, it's so inappropriate, so why don't we do it another day?"

Feeling Ning Zimo's stubbornness, Lu Xiaona's eyes finally became filled with anger. The tangled emotions turned into three words of affection but guilt.

Ning Zimo looked at her mouth shape and just smiled sadly.

Since tonight is not the right time,

I can only change the rb book and treat it as a parallel universe. Foreign companies use the real name, and domestic companies try to have the same pronunciation.

In the old version, the name was changed in order to pass the review. Now that I have to change it back, I can only change 10 chapters per day, so friends who read quickly may see different company names, so please try to understand.

In addition, some people say that I am a literary person, but this is actually to avoid the sentimental part.

It turns out that this was still an era of entertainment and sentimentality, and I originally prepared a lot of things like this. But when I was writing, the times had changed, and the things I prepared were no longer useful, so I had to change the style.

If something changes, the way of writing will change. We will not follow the routine and follow the path of business and ecological chain.
