You are a traitor

You are a traitor
As the influence of the incident gradually expanded, it was not just Wang Zhidong who was upset by Lu Yiming's talk show.
Joe Bert, who had just gotten off the plane when he arrived in the capital, quickly got the news from his assistant.
He was already in a bad mood, but after watching the talk show, his nose was so angry that he almost lost his temper on the spot.
"Lu Yiming, it's you again!"
Joe Bert suffered big losses from Lu Yiming in his previous investments, so he simply stopped investing in industry and started playing on the Internet instead.
Xia State's Internet industry is developing rapidly, with many high-quality companies, and as the world's most watched emerging market, it can be said that there are opportunities everywhere.
With the gem of Silicon Valley in front of him, Joe Bert was naturally very optimistic about the development of Xia Guo's Internet industry, so he also invested several funds, including one in Zhalang.
I originally planned to make a lot of money by going public with Zhalang, but the stock price reversed and the stock price crashed.
Joe Bert was naturally very angry, and what made him even more angry was that now Lu Yiming was not only making trouble in the stock market, but now he was even openly badmouthing the portal. Isn't this going against him?
It was all too urgent now. Where could Joe Bert sit still? He didn't even go to the hotel where he stayed. As soon as he left the airport, he went straight to the Zhalang headquarters with his men.
When Wang Zhidong learned that Joe Bert was coming, he did not dare to neglect and led the company's senior executives to greet him.
"Mr. Bert, why didn't you call me in advance when you came to Xia Country? I could pick you up."
Facing Joe Bert, the 'parent of food and clothing', Wang Zhidong was naturally extremely enthusiastic and wanted to kneel down and lick him.
However, in the face of Wang Zhidong's enthusiasm, Joe Bert was very cold. He didn't even give a perfunctory expression. He made the matter straight to the point and said directly: "I've heard about Lu Yiming's badmouthing about the portal.
I’ve said it. I also know about the fact that he used saltwater funds to short Zhalang in the U.S. stock market. You must come up with a solution to the current situation.”
Joe Burt's visit this time does not just represent him alone, but also the huge American capital forces behind him.
In order to be listed on Nasdaq, Wang Zhidong signed a gambling agreement with these investors, and it was obvious that Joe Bert was the agent of these interest groups to spur Wang Zhidong, so he spoke unceremoniously, as if
Superiors give orders to subordinates.
However, facing the aggressive Joe Bert, Wang Zhidong felt unhappy, but he did not dare to explode. He could only force a smile and nod his head: "Mr. Bert, don't worry, the interests of investors will never be damaged.
The current setbacks Zhalang has encountered are only temporary, and I have already thought of a way to deal with Lu Yiming."
It's a pity that Joe Bert didn't care at all about his act of showing his loyalty. Instead, he was deeply suspicious of his words: "Can you deal with Lu Yiming?"
Although Wang Zhidong had vowed to issue a military order, Joe Bert still had little confidence. After all, if Lu Yiming was so easy to deal with, he would have been pinned to the ground and blasted with a hammer.
However, Lu Yiming caused trouble everywhere and is still doing well. On the contrary, Lu Yiming's opponents have all suffered heavy losses.
Faced with Joe Bert's doubts, Wang Zhidong said bravely: "Of course you can, give me a chance, and I will definitely prove it to you."
"Okay, then I'll give you another chance."
Although Joe Bert didn't believe it in his heart, at this point, there was no other way. He could only hope that "Xia people would understand Xia people better" and use China to control China.
But in fact, Wang Zhidong was being beaten to the point of numbness by Lu Yiming at the moment. How could there be any way to deal with Lu Yiming?
The reason why I say this is just to delay time.
Even if you really want to find Lu Yiming's flaws, it will take time.
Next, Joe Bert learned more about Zhalang's operations and left with an excuse.
In the car leaving Zalang's headquarters, Joe Bert's assistant Lucian Falk asked: "Do we really want to give Wang Zhidong another chance?"
Joe Bert, who had always behaved very elegantly and gentlemanly in front of his men, immediately acted like a ignited powder keg and said angrily: "Give me a chance, Lu Yiming even said that the portal is not working.
Do you think I should trust Lu Yiming or Wang Zhidong?"
Although Joe Bert has always disliked Lu Yiming, and the two of them have had several conflicts of interest, the more they are opponents, the more they know how powerful Lu Yiming is.
Therefore, when Lu Yiming made a judgment and said that the portal website had no future, although Joe Bert did not necessarily agree with this view, he did not dare to completely disbelieve it.
After all, Lu Yiming has not missed it so far.
If this time is right, wouldn't it mean that as an investor, I would suffer a huge loss?
As the saying goes, people are like the shadow of famous trees. Lu Yiming's experiences along the way are so legendary and awesome that even Lu Yiming's opponents have to often study Lu Yiming's direction of action to provide a certain degree of reference.
What's more, with the current market conditions, Sina, as an Internet company, has already become a non-performing asset. Joe Bert has no nostalgia in his heart, and immediately ordered Lucian Falk: "Hurry up and find someone, I don't care.
Whether I write an article or appear on a TV show, I have to make the portal popular and make everyone believe that the portal can be saved and that the predicament is only temporary."
Lucian Falk was puzzled and asked: "But sir, didn't you agree with Lu Yiming's point of view just now?"
Joe Bert scolded: "You are stupid. It is precisely because I agree with his point of view that I have to find a way to find someone to take over the deal as soon as possible. If we don't stir up the heat, where can we find a fool to take over our deal? The company will lose money."
If you lose the money, will you pay for it?"
Joe Burt's words made Lucian Falk curse: The capitalists are really extremely sinister, and they actually want to recover losses through this method. It is simply too insidious.
But anyway, he was not a fool to take over the business. He immediately picked up the phone and started to implement the matter according to Joe Bert's instructions.
Zhonghai, in his studio.
Peng Dingguo wrote another column. After reading it through, he felt very satisfied. He found an envelope, wrote the recipient information, and planned to go out and deliver it.
As a result, before he even left the bench, the phone on the table rang. When Peng Dingguo answered the call, he discovered that it was Deng Xiaobing from the Financial Daily.
"Professor Peng, I'm sorry to inform you that your column may be suspended for a while."
When Peng Dingguo heard this, he immediately became anxious and asked quickly: "Why?"
Without his status as a columnist, not only will his income decrease, but his reputation will also plummet.
Deng Xiaobing was speechless. In fact, both of them knew the real reason, but it would be a shame to say it out loud.
In line with the idea of "leave a secret today so that we can meet again later", Deng Xiaobing tried his best to speak softly and said in a tactful tone: "Professor Peng, this is the decision of the newspaper leaders, and I can't help it."
Peng Dingguo couldn't help but beg for help, and finally hung up the phone angrily.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Peng Dingguo's face changed drastically and he cursed loudly: "Lu Yiming, I'm ****ing you, you are such a harmful person, you won't even let me, an old man, off, you ****
…”
The three-month bet actually ended two weeks ago, and Lu Yiming's predictions on the stock market were all proven to be extremely correct.
Even in terms of the Internet winter for the stock market, it is frighteningly accurate, and Peng Dingguo's prediction is simply incomparable.
But if Peng Dingguo is asked to call Lu Yiming's father in front of everyone, how can he say this?
Therefore, during the recent period, Peng Dingguo has completely turned on the ostrich mode, not mentioning a word about the original bet, as if as long as he pretends to be dead, it can be treated as if it never happened.
But he can pretend to be dead, but others will not accompany him to the dark side.
As an influential media outlet in China, Financial Daily cut ties with Peng Dingguo without hesitation, and other media organizations did the same, treating him as a god of plague.
Nowadays, Peng Dingguo cannot participate in the show, and now he can't even publish articles. He suddenly has no source of income, which makes his life suddenly difficult.
When Peng Dingguo was scolding to his heart's content, the phone rang again. Peng Dingguo became excited, picked up the receiver and said, "Xiao Deng, has the newspaper agreed to my publishing an article?"
What came over the phone was not Deng Xiaobing's voice, but the voice of a strange middle-aged man: "Hello, Professor Peng, I am Jinmai from the Maigu Fund."
Peng Dingguo, who realized that he had recognized the wrong person, suddenly felt very embarrassed and said quickly: "Ah, I'm sorry, I thought it was a call from my editor. Hello Mr. Jin, do you have any business with me?"
"
Jin Mai said: "That's it, we want you to write an article about the business potential of the portal. I wonder if you are willing to accept this task? We are not afraid to tell you in advance that the content of this article will be different from that of the richest man in Lu.
If you have different opinions, you may even be asked to come forward to speak against you if necessary, so please consider carefully whether you accept it or not. Of course, in terms of remuneration, we will definitely satisfy you."
Peng Dingguo felt a little guilty when he heard that he wanted to confront Lu Yiming. After all, he had been slapped in the face once before.
But in his current situation, he couldn't afford to be picky. In addition, he could publicly confront Lu Yiming, so he could express his anger. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think about it, I'll take it."
But then, Peng Dingguo had some concerns and said: "However, I have said something ugly before. Now it is a bit difficult for my articles to be published in newspapers and magazines, and no TV station dares to come to me to do a program.
If I write an article but can't publish it, you can't blame me."
Jinmai smiled and said: "I know this. Just write it with confidence and boldly. Our Maigu Fund will help you solve all other questions."
Regarding Peng Dingguo's situation, Jinmai had naturally conducted an investigation a long time ago, otherwise he would not have gone out of his way to find him.
With Lu Yiming's current momentum, it is not easy to find an expert or scholar in China who dares to confront him head-on.
After all, no one can say for sure whether the portal website has commercial potential. If it is wrong, in front of everyone in the country, it will directly kill the society.
Not many people would be willing to risk their career prospects for a small profit. After all, if you can become an expert and professor, who would be a fool?
But there were too many benefits, and Joe Bert was unwilling to take advantage of them. After much back and forth, he chose Peng Dingguo.
Now, Peng Dingguo, a former expert who had already suffered a complete defeat, fell into the hands of Lu Yiming. The two of them already had a grudge, so he dared to risk everything and openly oppose Lu Yiming.
Furi University.
The disturbances from the outside world did not have any impact on Lu Yiming. After school started, his mind was focused on studying.
In his previous life, his computer proficiency was basically acquired through self-study and practice, which can be said to be a wild approach. But after a new life, he is now a serious college student in the computer department of Furi University. He cherishes it very much because of his mature mind.
Because of this learning opportunity, I worked very hard. Not only did I quickly make up for the missed courses, I also often researched new things on my own and conducted self-study.
Studying is always the easiest and fairest way to achieve class crossing in this world.
