Chapter 710 Raising the Difficulty
Unlike the standard headquarters in Los Angeles, which covers at least a very large area, the Rome branch is located outside Rome City and does not look for any high-end office buildings in the city center. It is mainly to rent this conveniently transported warehouse, and the office is separated by an area in the warehouse.
When we met Kent, Smith and William who came from Hamburg, it was already noon. Since we were quite familiar with each other, we immediately discussed the latest situation of Blue Star Network after meeting.
Kent first reported: "Sir, the stock price of Blue Star Network is currently maintained between 12 and 13 US dollars, and the stock price trend is relatively weak. The outside world's comments are waiting and watching in the near future."
At the beginning, except for Jing Jian's instinctive alertness, no one else noticed the situation. No matter what, there are so many hot news in the United States every day, it is impossible to keep a certain lawsuit from a company. And isn't the best way to keep silent? The behavior itself is completely legal, and it is not afraid of any lawsuits. Moreover, consumers are forgetful. As long as it can be delayed for a long enough time, no matter how much such news is, it will definitely not hurt a hair on Blue Star.com.
Generally speaking, the media should be like this, who will keep hyping such news? Most viewers will not care. This is not a scandal among some Chinese boy. But in fact, the media's performance is very different from the predictions.
On the second day after the news comments full of malicious speculation, a locally influential newspaper in Boston reported the page of Blue Star User Registration, and set out suspicious points of "invasion of privacy". However, these suspicious points are far-fetched. In a legal sense, they do not become any evidence at all. But the problem is that the influence of this newspaper is much stronger than the tabloid yesterday, and it also "digged deeper" the impact of this matter later on, invited the chairman of a consumer association and an expert on Internet issues to interview, and all confirmed in the report that a considerable number of consumers are "very confused" about their privacy when registering.
The consumer organizations in the United States are not like China. China is a semi-official national organization, while the United States is a non-governmental organization scattered all over the country. To be honest, maybe you can set up one by two or three neighbors. However, the consumer association with no influentiality seems to be very authoritative and representative as soon as it is packaged by newspapers.
At this time, computers and the Internet are in the era of super liberalization. A considerable number of experts advocate freedom and agree that the Internet is fully anonymous and can "freely establish another identity in the virtual world." If it is put to this point, it may be common sense to everyone. How big a problem will it be if it is completely released on the Internet? At least there will be endless online fraud and illegal publicity of the Internet. However, in this era, "liberalization" is the mainstream, so the liberal expert I specially looked for is very representative.
With the reports of print media, experts and scholars appeared in financial programs on several local TV stations: "...The excessive user management of Blue Star Network will cause doubts about the abuse of personal data, and it will completely deviate from the original intention of normal business companies' business behavior..."
If Kent, Smith and the others hadn't felt that someone was manipulating behind him, it would be too slow. Obviously, someone was setting fire step by step. Although the fire had not yet burned to Blue Star Network, it would definitely burn quickly.
Smith, who was standing by, said: "Boss, we are in a difficult situation now. We cannot fight back at the legal level. The United States has such excessive protection of press freedom. Snatching public opinion will not have a good effect. It will give people a feeling of being impatient for clarification, as if we have indeed violated privacy. In fact, we have no intention at all. But if we remain silent, the other party can continue to use this topic to attract fire and force us to the dead end step by step."
Jing Jian frowned slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly asked Smith: "Have you ever asked about Veroso and Berry's news?"
Smith quickly replied: "From the public information, the foundation owned by the Wang family only has 2.1% of the equity of Blue Star.com. However, if it is not disclosed or other possible absorption, Veroso is estimated to be between 10% and 15%. The possibility of higher is not high, with an error of about 1% at most. However, Wang Lie and Wang family have nothing to gain in their personal aspects. After investigation, they are innocent like Boy Scouts."
"Oh!" Jing Jian nodded.
If it is a normal situation, if you encounter such a malicious acquisition, you have to contact us for a while and talk about it. Maybe there is a chance of giving in and winning the game?
But this time, there is no possibility of reconciliation. Jing Jian has joined the WINTEL Alliance (Microsoft and Intel Alliance). This alliance is so powerful that even Jing Jian, as the rebirth, has no idea of challenging it. It is nothing more than taking advantage of the opportunity of the beginning of the Internet age to join this alliance, and using the rebirth's prophet to increase his voice in this alliance.
Wang An Computer happens to be the mortal enemy of this alliance. Of course, there are so many mortal enemy, and they have been killed by this alliance one by one. Does Jing Jian still have to win the win with Wang An Computer? Isn’t that my mind gets in the water?
Therefore, he did not consider the option of private negotiations at all, so Jing Jian wanted to find any shameful handles for the Wang family. He seized the handle and threatened privately. This method has been used in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. However, it is precisely because it is used in a bad way that this method is quite effective.
But the Wang family is quite low-key like most Chinese families. The tutoring is quite good. Although Wang Lie is not worth mentioning in terms of ability, he can't find any moral flaws.
After thinking about it again, Jing Jian ordered: "Even if there are thousands of roads, we will always reach Rome City in the end. If we can't get enough shares and cannot hold an extraordinary shareholders' meeting, it will be useless even if public opinion speculates. That's it! I will find a way to increase the difficulty of the Wang family's acquisition. Even if we can acquire enough shares in the end, they will not be able to achieve their goals in a short period of time."
Kent and Smith were both slightly stunned. Blue Star Network is a listed company. Theoretically, if you have money, you can buy all the market circulating shares. Even if you don’t have $10, can’t it be raised to $100?
With doubts, Kent asked, "Sir, are we going to buy back the funds?" According to his thoughts, if the Wang family couldn't buy it, he had to pay for it himself.
Jing Jian shook his head with a smile: "I have my own way, and I don't need to use too much money."
