Chapter 50: Take advantage of the trend
On the matter of Tianya plagiarizing Jianghu, the national discussion has finally reached its peak.
In addition to several media outlets that Lin Shengcai found, after almost crazy reports the day before yesterday.
Slowly, some belated media outlets also reprinted or commented on it.
Seeing the overwhelming reports online and offline, coupled with the one-sided public opinion, Du Ming had no choice but to temporarily close the forum.
He also consulted a lawyer, and as long as he blamed all plagiarism on the users, he would only admit that supervision was inadequate. In this way, he would basically not be punished.
But the problem of public opinion is not so easy to solve. The advice given by the lawyer is to deal with it coldly, wait for the news to pass, and not responding, explaining, or admitting is the best way to deal with it.
"You two have also seen the current situation. We can only avoid the spotlight for now and give you two a holiday. Just wait for my notification of the specific time to resume work!"
Du Ming said to Wang Peng and Xiao Li.
The two looked at each other, and Wang Peng took out the resignation letter he had written long ago from his pocket.
"Boss, thank you very much for taking care of me, but after careful consideration, I decided to resign!"
Du Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he figured it out. This is probably what is meant by the saying that when a tree falls, the monkey will scatter.
Waving his hands feebly without any indication, he turned and returned to his office.
This can definitely be called the darkest day since he started his business. Four words suddenly popped into his heart, it's more ominous than good!
Wang Peng simply packed up his belongings, and Xiao Li sneaked up and asked mysteriously, "Brother Peng, where are you going to get a job? Don't forget about your brother if you have the chance!"<
/p>
Wang Peng glanced at him and said calmly, "I found a job moving bricks. Do you want to come with me?"
He hates this colleague from the bottom of his heart. He knows how to flatter him all day long. If it weren't for his bad ideas, it might have been a different ending. So there is nothing good to say about this person.
Xiao Li was rejected and cursed secretly behind Wang Peng.
Wang Peng's line was followed up by Hua Zi. In addition to poaching some authors, he also tried to find moderators of some popular sections.
Mainly because I want to be the editor and reviewer and contact them first.
But after chatting around, I found out that all of these people work part-time and are managing out of love.
Wang Peng is the only one who has the idea to work full-time as an editor.
After several rounds of communication, the two finalized the work details, and finally agreed to go to Hangzhou for onboarding in early September.
Wang Peng is a little bored with his current job. In addition to the work itself, he is also bored with the people around him.
It just so happened that there was an opportunity at this time, which I was relatively interested in. In addition, it was the Jianghu Forum that defeated me.
He basically agreed without making any requests.
Just after ten o'clock in the morning, a new advertisement was released simultaneously on the three major Internet portals.
Du Ming looked at the slogan that was flashing in front of the computer.
[Come to Jianghu to see Jianghu! Fengyun’s hot serialization in twenty years!]
He suddenly realized that behind this advertisement might be Jiang Hu's true purpose of suing him.
Take advantage of the turmoil in the two forums to raise the popularity to the highest point, and then launch the product according to the trend, so as to attract the greatest attention.
Du Ming thought of this and hurriedly opened two other forums. He wanted to see what the current situation of the two previous allies was during this storm.
When I saw that the advertising spaces of the two forums were also from Jianghu, a feeling of powerlessness swept across my body instantly.
"Failed, completely defeated!"
"There is no possibility of turning over again!"
In the field of Chinese forums, I became the first person to be expelled.
Thinking about the past few days, I was very high-spirited and prepared to join forces with Jiang and Tian to fight for a turnaround.
At this moment, Du Ming only felt that he was a joke.
He thought for a long time and finally decided to close the forum completely. He immediately called his previous investors and asked if they were willing to acquire it.
The other party only hesitated for a moment and then offered a purchase price of one million. Du Ming was very reluctant to give up, but finally agreed to the request.
It is better to recover some losses than to lose nothing!
At this time, Luo Pengxu was watching the decoration team sent from Pistol Leg, which was undergoing intensive construction.
"Wang Gong, do you think you can do this? Recruit some more people locally and divide them into two shifts to speed up the renovation."
"As for the remuneration, you don't have to worry about it. As agreed before, I will increase it by 50%."
The person in charge of the decoration basically agreed without any hesitation. Naturally, he would not refuse if he could make money for nothing.
As soon as he reached an agreement with the decoration team, he received a call from Lin Shengcai.
"Just received a message that may interest you!"
Luo Pengxu asked in surprise, "What's the news? Tianya has closed down?"
For him now, apart from this news, he really can't think of any other good news.
"You were half right. To be precise, it didn't go bankrupt. It was packaged and acquired by a capital company in Yanjing."
"Now the other party has spread the word and is ready to find a new buyer to take over!"
Luo Pengxu didn't have too many disturbances. This incident was within his expectation.
The Internet is like this. Yesterday we were entertaining guests, but today the building collapsed. There are countless cases! As long as one mistake is made, everything may be lost.
"Try it over there and see if you can acquire it. My budget is 2.8 million. If it exceeds this number, forget it."
Luo Pengxu paused and continued, "If the purchase price is around two million, I will give you a ten-point commission!"
I am about to start school, and there are still a lot of things to deal with here in Baihu. I really don’t have enough time to do it.
Besides, business negotiations are originally within Lin Shengcai's business scope.
Lin Shengcai was full of confusion about his words, "Why do you want to acquire it? I really can't see what significance a website that has no value has to you?"
"Lin Lu, you just want to make money. As for why, you will understand later!" Luo Pengxu's tone was a little cold.
He only wants to maintain a cooperative relationship with Lin Shengcai, and does not want to become friends. This is not good for both parties.
The law is better than reason!
"Okay, then I'll get in touch with you!"
Lin Shengcai also suddenly realized that the question he just asked was somewhat inappropriate.
This customer was not only rich, but also had an unusual aura. Lin Shengcai shook his head and stopped thinking about why.
Although Tianya has a bad reputation now, the number of users he accumulated in the past is still of some use.
Luo Pengxu had a plan in his mind that he had been thinking about for a long time. He originally planned to use the Jianghu Forum as the base.
But now it seems that Tianya is a more suitable existence.
Chapter completed!
