"

Lu Yiming said: "You are not doing this for your own selfish desires, but for the future development of Zhalang. Senior Cao, you don't want me to keep an eye on Zhalang because of Wang Zhidong's matter, right?"

Coercion and inducement are nothing more than these two methods.

The key is that Lu Yiming doesn't believe that Cao Guowei has no idea about the position of CEO of Zhalang. Is there anyone who doesn't want to climb up these days?

It’s just that Cao Guowei couldn’t pull this face off, so Lu Yiming had to give him a step down.

Although Cao Guowei did not agree on the spot, the hesitation shown on his face had already caught Lu Yiming's eyes.

Lu Yiming did not push too hard, but smiled and gave Cao Guowei a business card: "This matter is not urgent. When Senior Cao thinks about it clearly, I will make this call. My promise will be effective at any time."

Cao Guowei took the business card and accepted it with complicated emotions.

Guo Guangchang was watching the conversation beside him. He felt that the conversation between the two of them seemed to have come to an end, so he quickly said: "Look, it's getting late now. How about we have dinner? Senior Cao, what do you want to drink?"

Cao Guowei's mind was filled with what Lu Yiming had just said. How could he be in the mood to drink? He immediately said, "I'm driving today, so I won't drink."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "It just so happens that I am a student and I don't drink. Today we will have tea instead of a bar."

After dinner, Cao Guowei left. Guo Guangchang asked Lu Yiming in surprise: "Do you really want to kick Wang Zhidong out? It's just a little squabble, there is no need to fight with each other, right? Isn't this too young and energetic?"

Lu Yiming laughed: "Senior Guo, I'm only eighteen years old this year. How can I be called a young man if I'm not angry? If Wang Zhidong is to blame, just blame him for having such a bad mouth that he brought me here."

If a young ferocious beast does not often show its sharp fangs, it will become a being that can be bullied by everyone in the food chain.

Hit with one punch to avoid a hundred punches coming.

Lu Yiming deliberately wanted to take out Wang Zhidong's anger, letting everyone know that the richest man in Xia Kingdom should not be insulted lightly, and if he dares to provoke him, he must be prepared to pay the price.

At ten o'clock in the evening on April 13, 2000, Zhalang was officially listed on the Nasdaq stock market with the code SINA.

Wang Zhidong was so ambitious that he took Wang Yan, Cao Guowei and other senior executives of Zhalang Company to the United States to participate in the bell-ringing ceremony.

Zhalang, who chose to list his company in a situation where he was surrounded by enemies and ambushed on all sides, soon had to pay the price for this reckless behavior.

The IPO price of Zhalang was set at US$17, but it only rose to US$22 at the opening. It closed at US$20 that day, only an increase of 22% from the issue price, which made those investors behind Zhalang gear up and want to make a lot of money.

People feel disappointed.

Even domestic news media are questioning Zhalang's future potential, and even questioning whether Xia Guo's Internet industry has a future.

This result was unexpected by Wang Zhidong. Under everyone's doubts, he had to hold a press conference as soon as possible after returning to China to explain the situation.

At the press conference, after Wang Zhidong talked about Zhalang's philosophy, he talked about Zhalang's listing and said in front of everyone: "Zhalang has not failed, and Zhalang will not fail!"

A reporter immediately asked: "Now that the facts are before our eyes, why does Mr. Wang make such a judgment?"

Wang Zhidong immediately said: "In the original plan, eleven companies in our Xia State were prepared to go public at this time, but later due to insufficient sales and other reasons, nine companies withdrew and extended their listing plans indefinitely. Only Zhalang.com and

Another software company has gone public and is still growing. If you don’t have good health and don’t have enough confidence, you will never dare to go public.”

As the founder and CEO of Zhalang, Wang Zhidong certainly cannot admit his failure. At the moment, Zhalang is just rushing to get on the shelves, and it has to be done even if it doesn't work.

At this time, a reporter below suddenly received a call. After answering the call, the reporter immediately said: "Mr. Wang, the news just came back to China. On the US stock market Nasdaq, Zhalang's stock has been

It fell below the issue price, what do you think of this matter?"

"What?"

When Wang Zhidong heard the news, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

Another reporter asked: "Does Zhalang still have a future?"

Wang Zhidong turned around and left.

It just went public and already fell below the issue price. If you don’t have a future, that’s nonsense.

Are you continuing to stand here, waiting to be slapped in the face?

When Wang Zhidong returned to the backstage, he immediately called Cao Guowei and scolded him.

"Cao! How do you do this? After the listing, the future is bright. Now it has fallen below the issue price. How do you want me to explain to the investors?"

Cao Guowei also just heard about this incident. As the chief operating officer, he can be said to be shouldering the responsibility when something like this happened.

However, Wang Yan, one of the co-founders, said something fair for Cao Guowei: "Zhidong, we don't know what the situation is in the US stock market right now. We will wait until the exact news comes back."

After waiting and waiting, the exact news finally arrived.

Zhalang employees who stayed in the United States told Wang Zhidong that the company's U.S. stock market plummeted because of malicious short selling.

The one who shorted Zhalang was none other than Saltwater Fund.

When Wang Zhidong heard the words "salt water fund", he was so angry that the veins on his forehead almost burst.

"Lu Yiming! You fucking don't have martial ethics!"
