Chapter 543 You are not even an opponent(1/2)

Author: Linjiangxian

On July 2, a piece of news suddenly broke on Wall Street.

James Chanos, who built his junk-bond empire on the heels of Michael Mickens, openly expressed his negative view on Fun News's stock price in an interview with American Economic Television.

In the program, he looked coldly and spoke sharply: "Rejecting the cooperation of advertisers temporarily increased the traffic of interesting stories, but that was just good-looking data, but in fact it greatly reduced the commercial value of interesting stories."

This surprised the reporters and quickly asked: "But even the world's richest man, Bill Gates, is a shareholder of Fun News. Does it mean that Bill Gates has a problem with his investment vision? What's more, Bill Gates is still investing

200 million US dollars to build a software industrial park with Lu Yiming in Zhonghai City, Xia State."

Faced with reporters' doubts, James Chanos seemed very confident and even said with a arrogant face: "In the field of portal websites, Yahoo, as a pioneer, has not been able to find a way to make profits other than advertising. Xia Guo Internet, as a imitator,

Enterprises, what better way can they come up with?"

At this point, James Chanos made a direct conclusion: "Now relying on advertising to get through the money-burning stage and looking for new profit growth is the right path. Cutting off advertising will directly destroy the hope of waiting for a comeback.

How long can you burn money purely? I am not optimistic about this method. Maybe the interesting stories will disappear in the darkness before dawn."

As the founder of Knicks United Fund, James Chanos is best at making money by shorting those listed companies, and now the entire Wall Street knows that Chanos is short.

What's even more terrible is that the reasons given by James Chanos are quite good - even Yahoo relies on advertising to make money, why are you, just a Xiaguo Internet company, so independent?

Therefore, as soon as this news was broadcast, Quwen's stock price immediately fell and was ignored by the entire market.

Some American investors who originally bought Fun News stocks couldn't help but cursed and criticized Lu Yiming, thinking that this was tantamount to fraud.

In a certain hotel, Ding Sanshi, who saw the news, slapped the table hard and felt all over his body: "Well done! You finally vented your anger for me! It's an interesting story, right? I'm stuck in the listing, right?

Fuck me, right? You deserve to be shorted. Who asked you to stop doing human affairs..."

While he was cursing, the cell phone on the table rang. Ding Sanshi answered the call cheerfully: "Hello?"

"Boss, our NetEase intraday quotation has dropped again."

The expression on Ding Sanshi's face suddenly froze, and he said loudly: "What'sUP! What happened this time?"

The subordinate said gloomily: "We have been ruined. Now investors in the US stock market think that Xia Guo's portal is not very good."

"I lost..."

Ding Lei seemed to have been struck by lightning. He collapsed on the sofa and turned into a salted fish, feeling extremely desperate.

If someone else revamps their version and looks awesome, it will drop my stock price. If someone else is shorted and badmouthed, will it be my stock price that drops?

Who the hell did I provoke?

Destroy it quickly, we are tired.

However, Zhang Chaoyang was in a worse mood. Ding Sanshi had finally listed NetEase, but he hadn't even had time to get on the bus. The stocks in his hand were completely useless paper, and he couldn't cash out.

The few securities firms that were originally willing to underwrite Sohu's stocks have now withdrawn. After all, Quwen and NetEase, two Xiaguo portals, have fallen so miserably. Why is Sohu an exception?

You, Zhang Chaoyang, dare to bet, but we are not willing to go crazy with you!

In this way, Zhang Chaoyang, who was brutally rejected, didn't stop talking all the way back to the hotel where he was staying. He almost turned into a Zu'an madman and attacked the eighteenth generation of Lu Yiming's ancestors.

If it weren't for the crime of murder, he would have already planned to buy a gun.

Xia Kingdom.

When news of the failure of the three major portals on Nasdaq spread back to China, there was an uproar within the huge Internet circle.

Even some celebrities in the financial industry have come forward to speak.

As the god of small stocks in Zhonghai, Wang Xiujie would certainly not let go of such an opportunity to criticize Lu Yiming. He immediately shouted in a program: "Lu Yiming's previous behavior was simply to raise the stock price through speculation, which is suspected of cutting leeks. This time

This move has seriously affected the image of our Xiaguo Internet company abroad. I hope Lu Yiming can stand up and apologize to the public."

Even the host sitting opposite him didn't dare to say this: "You said you want the richest man Lu to apologize?"

Wang Xiujie replied righteously: "Of course, this is the conscience that practitioners in the financial industry should have, and it is also the responsibility that an investor should have."

host:"……"

"Okay audience friends, thank you very much Professor Wang for sharing his views. Our program ends here. See you next time."

Wang Xiujie: "..."

After the program aired, Wang Xiujie's remarks were immediately reported by the domestic media. They wished Lu Yiming and Wang Xiujie would fight directly, so that their news would be explosive and gimmicky enough.

The pressure came to Lu Yiming instantly.

After all, the "cutting of leeks" thing is really hated by the majority of retail investors, and Wang Xiujie's "accusation" of Lu Yiming directly pushed him to the forefront.

Lu Yiming is naturally not someone who refuses to retaliate. After all, he knows how to play with public opinion.

So he quickly instructed his subordinates to arrange a huge press conference. As soon as he heard that the richest man Lu was willing to be interviewed, well-known financial newspapers and magazines across the country all sent special reporters and rushed there.

Came to Zhonghai and interviewed him.

I saw that the venue was bustling, with hundreds of people gathered.

One of the reporters wearing a light gray suit stood up and asked first: "Mr. Lu, many people now think that you are maliciously manipulating the stock price and harming the interests of shareholders. Do you have any explanation for this?

?”

Lu Yiming looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Explain what? Even if I am really cutting leeks, and the ones I am cutting are American leeks, the owner hasn't even spoken yet, why can't the bitch sit still? I would like to ask this guy

Someone named Wang, is he a citizen of the Xia Kingdom or an American citizen? Has he obtained a green card? Is he working so hard to fight against his master?"

As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, the relationship between Xia Guo and the United States was not much better, and the bombing of the embassy had not happened long ago. At this time, Lu Yiming directly said that Wang Xiujie was a loser of the United States, which can be said to be very sharp.

Later, Lu Yiming solemnly clarified: "As for Quwen's business problems, it is even more ridiculous to accuse James Chanos, who is engaged in finance, and he knows nothing about the Internet. Quwen's new business will be launched soon,

At that time, profitability will no longer be an obstacle to the development of Internet companies."

When the reporters heard this, they immediately became excited.

"The richest man in Lu is worthy of being the richest man in Lu. He speaks with integrity. Even when facing foreigners, he is not timid at all."

"Mr. Lu, what is Quwen's new business?"

Faced with the curiosity of reporters, Lu Yiming certainly would not let go of this publicity opportunity, and immediately said: "Quwen has officially cooperated with China Mobile and plans to launch a monthly news SMS subscription service. The service includes several practical packages, such as weather

Forecasts, current affairs news and information, especially sports and financial sections, can help mobile phone users obtain the best quality information services. With just a few dollars, you can stay one step ahead and grasp the latest and most complete information and news."

If the sports section is mainly about leisure and entertainment, then the services in the financial section directly involve money, which is very practical.

Especially for those users who often travel outside and cannot sit at a computer desk all the time, whether they can obtain financial-related information in a timely manner can sometimes even be the difference between life and death.

For example, a stock in your hand is plummeting, and you don't know it. By the time you react, it may have been completely cold.

For people in the news media, this service is also very practical. Hotspots are pushed directly to your mobile phone through text messages. Why don’t you just go ahead of your colleagues?

Suddenly, these reporters became enthusiastic. After all, for them, chasing hot topics and creating topics is their job. This function launched by Lu Yiming is very suitable for them.

"Mr. Lu, when will this business be launched?"

Lu Yiming, who had been prepared for a long time, directly announced at this time: "In three days, the news SMS monthly subscription service will be officially launched. We have also specially created a SMS message comment function to allow users to express their opinions and comments under the news section.

Comment. For specific functions and gameplay, you can try it yourself after it goes online."

When they heard that this monthly subscription service would be available in three days, the reporters immediately became excited.

Fun News directly cut off all advertisements to launch a mobile phone subscription service to make money. This is so clever compared to those who only play dog-skin plaster advertisements.

The most important thing is that subscribing to a newspaper costs money. Not only is it troublesome to get it, but it can only be read on specific occasions. Unlike a mobile phone, you can hold it in your hand and have access to the latest and most complete news anytime and anywhere. The gap is huge.

It’s too big. To a certain extent, this is an epoch-making progress.

At the end of the interview, Lu Yiming said: "Everyone, don't rush away now. Thank you for your hard work to the reporters who came to interview today. Our company has just made a batch of cultural and creative products. We hope to give them to you to try. After you use them, remember to

Please give us feedback in the anecdotal exchange area. You can go to the front desk of our company to collect it later."

They came for interviews and received gifts. The situation suddenly opened up, and the reporters suddenly became overjoyed.

"Mr. Lu is very generous."

"The Mainland China still forgives us."

The reporters queued up backstage one by one to receive the gifts. When they opened it, they found a gold-plated fountain pen from the Hero brand with a market value of about two hundred yuan. In addition, there were exquisite keychains. These things were all covered with

Printed with interesting brand logos and perfectly customized, it looks very classy.

Even if you don’t use it yourself, it’s still a great honor to give it to others!

As the saying goes, those who eat people are soft-spoken and their hands are short-handed. After returning home, why don't you try your best to give the richest man Lu a few nice words?

After finishing his work, he returned to the office. Lu Yiming lay down on the sofa relaxedly and said to Li Yiwen: "Cousin, make a pot of tea to drink. I'm thirsty."

Li Yiwen said while making tea: "You still know how to play. Use the rest of the company's purchases to bribe these reporters. Then they will be embarrassed to say bad things about you when you go back."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "That's right, resources are for use. I have to thank this old Wang. If he didn't jump out, I wouldn't have found a reason to spread this news."

"really."

The next day, the interesting SMS news service had not even had time to be officially launched, but it was successfully reported by reporters and media, attracting a lot of attention. Especially domestic mobile phone users, they rushed to tell each other. Obviously, Lu Yiming's solution was very important.

For them, this is exactly what they wanted.

As far as anecdotes are concerned, the SMS market is also a "panacea" that brings people back to life.
