NOVEL NEXT Chapter 137
“You don’t have to expose the negative information, but you still have to fight the war of public opinion.”
“Find some water army, expose it on the Internet and search on Qiandu.com”
“For example, Qiandu search maliciously suppressed Youtuan.com and directed Youtuan.com’s keywords to their Nuomi group buying website.”
“Once public opinion becomes serious, we will publish our previous victory.”
“Although we can’t kill Qiandu with one blow, we should at least make Qiandu have a bad reputation.”
Su Chengyang tapped the table with his fingers and said with a cold face.
In terms of marketing, who can beat him now that he controls the Weibo platform?
The traffic of several major portals combined is not as large as Weibo.
Qiandu is just a search website. In terms of marketing, the only one that can be called a rival is Penguin.
After all, they have a large user base and a portal website under their umbrella, so they can really fight back.
Yao Wenjing’s eyes lit up when he heard this:”Chairman, this is a good idea. Let’s discredit Qiandu first and portray us as the weak to win sympathy.”
“Mr. Yao, your word choice is wrong.”
Su Chengyang smiled and said,”It’s not to win sympathy. In fact, we are the weak ones in this matter.”
Yao Wenjing smiled and nodded,”I understand!”
“Go ahead. Now that they have come to our door, we cannot bear the injustice in vain. We must fight back and let them know that we are not made of clay.”
“Yes!”
Yao Wenjing stood up, put away the smile on his face, and replied seriously
“Bang Bang~~”
I had just finished talking to Yao Wenjing and was sitting in a chair drinking some water to moisten my throat when there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Come in”
“Click~~”
The door opened, and Sun Yixuan walked in and said respectfully,”Chairman, Mr. Lin from Oasis Capital is here.”
“Oh? Please let him in.”
“It’s 187!”
After a while, Sun Yixuan and Lin Haishen walked in.
“Sit down.”
He raised his hand to signal Lin Hai to sit deeper, and said to Sun Yixuan who was standing beside him:”Assistant Sun, make two cups of coffee”
“Yes!”
Sun Yixuan replied
“Sit down, what are you doing here?”
Lin Haishen nodded and said,”It’s like this, Mr. Liu from Jingdong called and said that the funds raised before the New Year are almost used up. Mr. Liu plans to conduct a C round of financing and asked if we would like to participate?”
“Oh?”
Su Chengyang’s eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
“How much financing does he plan to raise?”
“About 150 million US dollars”
“How much do we have left in our account?”
“There are about 35.5 billion left.”
Currently, Su Chengyang’s funds are divided into four parts.
Among them, there are two investment companies in the United States. Before returning to China during the financial crisis, Su Chengyang left 10.64 billion US dollars, and successively invested in Yingweida, Netflix, Activision Blizzard, Tesla, SpaceX and many other companies, leaving 5.64 billion US dollars. Later, he established Tianjing Game Company with IceFrog, and then established Raiden Semiconductor, with more than 4 billion US dollars in the account.
When he returned to China with 20 billion US dollars, in addition to investing 20.6 billion in Yucheng Group, the remaining money, All of them were invested in Shanhai Group and the acquisition of many literary websites such as Perfect World and Shengda Literature. He also invested in companies such as Jingdong, DJI, and Ele.me.
In order to facilitate the business development of his subsidiaries.
Su Chengyang allocated half of it to Oasis Capital (with 35.5 billion left), and he kept 40 billion for himself.
In total, he has spent 30 billion in less than a year since returning to China, but most of it was injected into the account of Yucheng Group.
After thinking for a while, Su Chengyang asked:”How many shares do we have in Jingdong now?”
“25%！”Lin Haishen said
“Tell Liu Xiaodong that we at Oasis have taken all the C round of financing and there is no need to look for outsiders.”
“In addition, tell him that the previous promise remains unchanged, and our voting rights will always support him.”
Knocking on the table, Su Chengyang said in a deep voice.
Jingdong is a potential stock, with a market value of 100 billion US dollars in the future peak period. No matter what, Su Chengyang does not want to let it go.
As for driving Da Qiangzi away and taking the helm himself, Su Chengyang has no such idea. It’s too tiring. It’s better to be an investor and let Da Qiangzi work hard to make money for him. Why not?
“yes!”
“Oh, right.”
Seeing Lin Haishen getting up and preparing to leave, Su Chengyang remembered about cooperating with Principal Wang to invest in a film and television company.
“I have cooperated with Wang Jianlin’s son of Yida Group to set up a film and television company called Banana Pictures. I invested in the name of Oasis Capital. Please send someone to Shanghai to deal with this matter with him.”
Speaking of this, Su Chengyang stood up and walked to the desk, took out his mobile phone, paper and pen, and quickly wrote a number on the paper.
He handed the note to Lin Haishen:”This is his mobile phone number”
“”Okay, Chairman.”
Lin Haishen nodded in agreement.
“Go ahead~~”Su Chengyang waved his hand, signaling Lin Haishen to go down….
The next day, a piece of news broke out on the Internet, causing a lot of heated discussion
“Reappearing the hegemony of the Internet, Qiandu Company tore off its disguise and maliciously suppressed its competitors, directing the search results of the keyword”Youtuan.com” to Nuomi Group Buying under Qiandu.”
“After the court ruled that Qiandu lost, Qiandu showed no remorse at all. Instead, it intensified its crackdown on Youtuan.com and directly blocked Youtuan.com from search results. This behavior was a complete abuse of market dominance, suppressing competitors, and completely disregarding user experience….”…
“Oh my god, no wonder when I searched for Youtuan.com on Baidu, the first one that always came up was Nuomi Group Buying. So that’s what’s going on. This is fucking shameless.”
“Not surprising, this is what Qiandu did, they created a bidding ranking, it’s so ugly”
“I searched for Youtuan.com on Baidu, but couldn’t find its website. I thought it had closed down. I didn’t expect this to be the case.”
“Tsk tsk, this is Li Gui trying to impersonate Li Kui”
“Garbage Qiandu, spicy chicken and glutinous rice group purchase”
“Youtuan.com spent hundreds of millions on offline advertising, but Qiandu intercepted the traffic online. This operation can only be described as 666, but it is too shameless. It is unreasonable for such a company not to go bankrupt.”…
“There are too many ads on Baidu search. I now use Shenma search, which is clean, fast, and has no ads.”
“I support the above post. I also use Shenma search, which is much better than Qiandu search.”
,..
All kinds of complaints, insults, and ridicules about Qiandu Company quickly fermented online, causing an uproar and directly rushing to the top of Weibo’s hot search list.
As a Weibo celebrity blogger, Su Chengyang also immediately forwarded the blog post accusing Qiandu released by Youtuan.com’s official Weibo account, and commented:”Some domestic Internet companies do not think about how to go global and develop in overseas markets, but instead blindly use their market share to suppress emerging companies. Such a lack of pattern can only show that this company is destined to not go far.”
After the message was sent out, as always, it didn’t take long for a large number of fans to comment on Su Chengyang’s Weibo.
“Support Su Dad! The so-called BAT in China, except for Ali, the rest only know how to fight among themselves”
“Haha, Su’s father came out to diss Qiandu”
“Although I am an employee of Qiandu, I stand on the side of Youtuan.com in this matter. Qiandu’s behavior is really too ugly.”
“Finally, someone has come out to criticize Qiandu.
This company is the most shameless company I have ever seen.
My company has a new product that we want to promote, and their promotion specialist asked us to recharge tens of thousands of yuan, and then the bidding was effective.
As a result, few people clicked in, and they didn’t even refund the money in the account.
When recharging, they said that the money could be refunded at any time.
It’s fucking rubbish.
Don’t trust anyone, don’t trust Qiandu.
”
Such a big negative news was naturally discovered by Qiandu’s public relations department, and reported the situation to Li Yanhong immediately.
After seeing the comments cursing Qiandu everywhere on Weibo, Li Yanhong almost couldn’t hold back his anger.
“Damn, bastard”
“Saying that we abused our market dominance, isn’t Shanhai the same, smearing our Qiandu on Weibo, how good can that be?”
Li Yanhong slammed the table in anger and roared:
“Chairman, what should we do now? There are too many negative news outside. If this continues, I am afraid it will cause serious damage to the company’s image.”
The public relations director looked at Li Yanhong with embarrassment.
This matter is a bit tricky.
The other party’s words are not pure slander, and what he did was indeed dishonorable.
“what to do?”
“Don’t they Shanhai like to sue?”
“Immediately notify the Ministry of Justice and sue Shanhai and Weibo for defamation and malicious slander.”
“this…The probability of winning is probably very low.”
“If you think your salary is too low, then find a way to improve it for me. Otherwise, why should I support you?”
Li Yanhong roared.
The public relations director was so embarrassed by the scolding that he nodded helplessly and left the office in a hurry.
“Bang~~”
“Damn mountains and seas!”
“Damn Su Chengyang!”
“I’m not completely with you.”
Li Yanhong roared from behind, and the public relations director looked helpless.
As the incident fermented, the Internet was full of complaints about Qiandu Company, and the trend was getting more and more intense. People kept jumping out and searching for scams on Qiandu. For a time, Qiandu Company became the object of public criticism and scorn. As a listed company, it was negatively affected and Qiandu’s stock price fell.
