Chapter 320: I'm here to slap my face
At 2:50 p.m., a grand press conference was held at the Stanford Hotel, and countless reporters came to the banquet hall of the hotel, chatting with each other, waiting for the press conference to begin.
After another ten minutes, with a burst of exclamations, Tang An and Wood walked into the banquet hall under the escort of bodyguards, they walked to their seats and sat down, Tang Ran looked at so many reporters at the scene, he was very happy to say to the general manager next to him: "This press conference is very good, so many media have been invited, as well as well-known media such as the Wall Street Journal and the National Economic News, and their ability is great." ”
In the face of Tang An's praise, the general manager said thank you and praised while muttering in his heart where did all these media come from?
As the general manager of the Lombard company, he does have a lot of social connections, but these relationships are more in San Francisco, and they are still based on Tang An's identity as the big man of the Tang family; it is also for this reason that the Lombard company was not well-known before Wood's investment, and can only be regarded as an upper-middle Internet company.
To be honest, he was actually very resistant to holding a press conference in Paro City this time, he didn't know how it would be done here, but now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.
"This is all the credit of President Tang and Chairman Wood, it is your marketing methods that make the Lombard company have a very high reputation, and these media are naturally admired, after all, as long as you have anything to do with us, you can get more attention!"
Tang An was very happy with this sycophant, and Tang An said to him: "Very good, continue to do this, now that the company has the investment of Chairman Wood, our Lombard company will get better and better! What Wall Street Journal and the National Economic News, they will line up one by one to ask us for news, so you also have to be proficient in the ability to deal with these media, you know?"
The general manager nodded excitedly and said, "I will work hard to train my abilities and witness Lombard become a super-first-class enterprise in San Francisco!"
Tang An nodded with satisfaction, and then he turned his gaze to the media in front of him, he cleared his throat and said: "Welcome to all journalists, today is the latest project exhibition conference of Lombard Company, and then we will introduce the company's latest research and development of the Internet search engine to you, I am very confident that this will become a very important growth point for the company in the future, I don't know if you have anything you want to ask about this?"
As soon as Tang An's words were finished, someone immediately raised his hand, Tang An stretched out his hand to signal him to speak, but heard the man say: "Hello President Tang, I am a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, and I heard before I came here that there will be a very exciting news to be released at today's press conference. ”
Tang An felt very strange about this question: "I don't think I understand what your definition of Jinbang is, because the news I just now is already very exciting, because the search engine of the Internet will definitely be the development trend of the Internet in the future, I don't know if there are other problems?"
With these words, another reporter raised his hand and stood up and asked: "I can believe in the future of search engines, but with all due respect, this will at most attract the interest of some investors, and it will be difficult to resonate with ordinary people, because you say that today's press conference will shock the whole world! If it is just a search engine, it is difficult to have such an effect." ”
At this moment, Don Annwood and the general manager were completely confused, because they couldn't understand what these reporters were talking about, what news was shocking the whole world, and they were just promoting their search engine today, and it sounded like something was wrong.
So Wood asked, "I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by the great news, and how did you get it?"
For this question, there is no need for these reporters to answer, the door opened, Zhou Ming took Tang Ran and Tang Jingsheng and they walked in and said: "I told them that there will be big news here today." ”
Zhou Ming's words were very light, but when they stopped in everyone's ears, a bombshell undoubtedly exploded, which shocked everyone at that time.
The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly, because many people didn't understand what was going on, and those who understood began to press the shutter frantically at Zhou Ming and Tang Anwood when they reacted. Just kidding, they're the opposite, and now they're on the same occasion, isn't it necessarily going crazy to tear up?
Sure enough, with the admission of Zhou Ming and Tang Ran, Tang An's face was pulled down at that time, and he looked at Zhou Ming viciously, looking like he was going to eat him alive, since he was abused by Zhou Ming in the Tang Bank that day, so that he was driven away from the venue, he hated Zhou Ming to the core.
"Uncle Tang, Aunt Huiyin, and Chairman Tang Ran, I'm sorry for the disappointment, because I don't remember inviting you. Tang An finally put his eyes on Zhou Ming, "As for this gentleman, please get out, you are not welcome here." ”
Listening to Tang An's words, Zhou Ming smiled: "President Tang is really cautious, but I'm sorry, you don't have the right to invite me out, because I also have a part in today's press conference." ”
"Do you have a share?" Tang An couldn't understand, "Are you joking with me? But unfortunately this joke is not funny, or is your IQ already so low? Behind me, the banner on it says that the Lombard press conference, where does it have anything to do with you? Or do you want to join my company? In that case, I don't mind interviewing you here, it's just that your IQ is not needed by the company." ”
"Mr. Tang An, you feel too good about yourself, don't you think that many of the media here can't be invited at all?" Zhou Ming asked rhetorically.
Tang An hated Zhou Ming's shareholding, but he was not a fool, he was shocked when he heard Zhou Ming's words, because he was very strange from the beginning of his entry, what happened to the many media here? After all, the recent press conferences are also relatively frequent, and he knows which media will be invited to attend, and today's situation is indeed a bit abnormal, at first he thought it was the credit of his own general manager, but now it seems that there is another reason.
Tang An subconsciously glanced at the general manager next to him, and saw that his face was a little embarrassed, and Tang An was even more suspicious: Is this guy really doing it?
Tang An couldn't be sure of this, but now was not the time to discuss this, even if it was really invited by Zhou Ming, he had to grit his teeth and persevere!
When Tang An was shocked, Wood next to him suddenly asked, "What? Are you here now to recover the field you lost? ”
After Wood finished speaking, he said to everyone: "I think some of the journalists here may not know this Mr. Zhou Ming, right? In fact, I don't know either, because when I invested in the Lombard company, I did expect that it would have an impact on other companies, but I didn't expect that some companies would go bankrupt directly, and this Zhou Ming friend was one of those losers." ”
"Actually, I've always regretted this, but there is no way, the mall is full of competition, and only those who have the ability can survive, and the garbage will be eliminated. ”
As Wood finished speaking, Tang An immediately echoed him: "That's great, that's it, this Mr. Zhou Ming is just a garbage who has been eliminated! In fact, we have given you a lot of opportunities, but unfortunately you are not capable yourself, so it's no wonder that we are not capable." ”
In the face of Tang An and Wood's ridicule one after another, Tang Ran couldn't help it anymore: "Hey, I don't understand what you are happy about singing and harmonizing here? You feel too good about yourself, right? Even I can't help but feel ashamed of you." ”
Zhou Ming also said at this time: "Then I'll tell you the truth, I'm here today specifically to slap you in the face." ”
Not only Zhou Ming and Tang Ran, but also Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin, the two elders, couldn't stand it anymore at this time, and they all showed an expression of caring for the mentally handicapped, feeling sorry for the family that there was such a person.
When Tang An and Wood heard this, they both laughed as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world: "Hit us in the face? I said you haven't woken up yet, right? Earth is too dangerous, you better hurry back to Mars!"
This time Zhou Ming didn't argue with them anymore, but invited Jobs out, Jobs came out wearing a very casual shirt and jeans, these reporters raised their cameras and filmed wildly, although they didn't know why Zhou Ming did this, but as a media person's instinct, they had a premonition.
In the click of a camera, Zhou Ming took Jobs to all the media and said: "This is Mr. Jobs, the chairman of the company, we are here today for the breach of contract of the Lombard company." ”
After Zhou Ming's introduction, Jobs said in front of all reporters: "Hello everyone, I'm Jobs, I think many friends here must know me, maybe because of Apex Computer, or maybe because of Toy Story, but I came here today to announce one thing in front of all media friends, that is, Apex found that Lombard Company had a large number of breaches of contract when using Apex Equipment. ”
Jobs paused here before he continued: "Therefore, after careful consideration, the Apex Company has decided to terminate all network services to the Lombard Company in accordance with the provisions of the contract. including, but not limited to, leased servers and all other network equipment, as well as the information services of AP, and will sue Lombard for breach of contract. ”
Jobs then changed the tone and said: "In addition, due to the special nature of the Internet and information services, AP will seal the Lombard company's database until the lawsuit is over." ”
