Unlike the standard headquarters in Los Angeles, which occupies at least a fairly large area, the Rome branch is located on the outskirts of Rome and is not looking for any high-end office buildings in the city center, and mainly to rent this conveniently located warehouse, which is separated by an area from the warehouse.

By the time I met Kent, Smith, and William, who had come from Hamburg, it was past noon. Since they were already quite familiar, when they met, they immediately discussed the latest situation of the Blue Star Network.

Kent first reported: "Sir, the current stock price of Bluestar is between $12 and $13, and the stock price trend is relatively weak, and the outside world comments are on the sidelines in the near future. “

At the beginning, except for Jing Jian, who had a trace of instinctive vigilance, no one else noticed the signs of the situation, no matter what, there are so many news hotspots in the United States every day, it is impossible to hold on to a lawsuit of a certain company. And isn't the best way to be silent? The behavior itself is completely legal, and there is no fear of lawsuits, and consumers are forgetful, as long as it can be delayed long enough, no amount of such news will definitely hurt a single hair of Bluestar.com.

Generally speaking, the media should be like this, who will keep hyping up such news? The vast majority of viewers will not care, and this is not a scandal of some Chinese kid. In reality, however, the media has behaved very differently than predicted.

The day after the news commentary, which was full of malicious speculation, a newspaper with local influence in Boston reported on the page where the users of "Blue Star" had registered, and marked out suspicious points of "invasion of privacy", but these suspicious points were far-fetched and did not become evidence at all in a legal sense, but the problem was that the influence of this newspaper was much stronger than that of yesterday's tabloid, and it was still "digging deeper" in the back of the report The president of a consumer association and an expert on Internet issues were interviewed for the impact, and both confirmed in the report that a significant number of consumers were "very confused" about their privacy when they registered.

Consumer organizations in the United States are not like China, which is a semi-official national organization, while the United States is a scattered non-governmental organization. However, the consumer association, which has little influence, seems to be very authoritative and representative when it is packaged by the newspaper.

At this time, computers and the Internet are also in the era of super liberalization, and a considerable number of experts advocate freedom, agree that the Internet is completely anonymous, and can "freely establish another identity in the virtual world". If it were to be put to the present time, it may be common sense for everyone, but how much of a problem will there be if it is completely unleashed on the Internet? At the very least, there will be an endless stream of Internet fraud and illegal Internet propaganda. However, in this era, "liberalization" is the mainstream, so the liberal expert who was specially sought out is very representative.

With the report of the print media, experts and scholars broke out in the financial programs of several local TV stations: "...... Excessive user management on Bluestar will raise suspicions of misuse of personal information, and completely deviate from the original intention of normal commercial company business practices......"

If by this time, Kent and Smith have not felt that someone is manipulating behind them, it will be too dull. Obviously, someone is setting fire step by step, although this fire has not yet burned to the body of the Blue Star Network, but it will definitely burn quickly.

Smith on the side said: "Boss, we are in a difficult situation now, there is no way to fight back at the legal level, the United States has that kind of excessive protection of press freedom." Grabbing public opinion will not have a good effect, and will give people a sense of impatience to justify, as if we have indeed violated privacy. Actually, we don't mean that at all. But by remaining silent, the other side will continue to use this topic to ignite the fire and push us to the brink step by step. ”

Jing Jian frowned slightly, thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked Smith, "Have you asked about the news from Veloso and Berry?"

Smith hurriedly replied: "Judging from public information, the foundation owned by the Wang family only has 2.1% of the equity of Bluestar.com. However, undisclosed and other possible absorptions, Verloso estimates that it is between 10% and 15%, and it is unlikely that it will be higher, with an error of about 1% at most. And Wang Lie and the Wang family's private aspects have nothing to find, and after investigation, they are as innocent as a boy scout. ”

"Oh!" Jing Jian nodded.

If it is under normal circumstances, in the event of such a hostile takeover, no matter what, you have to contact and talk about it once, maybe there is a win-win opportunity for each step?

But this time, there was no possibility of reconciliation. Jing Jian has joined the INTEL alliance (Microsoft and Intel Alliance), this alliance is so strong, even Jing Jian, as a reborn person, does not have the slightest idea of challenge, nothing more than to take advantage of the opportunity of the beginning of the Internet era to join this alliance, and use the prophet of the reborn to increase his voice in this alliance.

And Wang An Computer happens to be the sworn enemy of this alliance. Of course, there are so many rivals, and they have all been killed by this alliance one after another, does Jing Jian still want to have a win-win situation with Wang An Computer? Isn't that a brain in water?

Therefore, he didn't consider the option of negotiating privately at all, so Jing Jian wanted to find out what the Wang family had to do. Grasping the handle and coercing in private, this method has been used rotten in ancient and modern times, but it is precisely because it has been used rotten that it shows that this method is quite effective.

But the Wang family, like most Chinese families, is quite low-key. And the tutor is quite good, although Wang Lie's ability is not worth mentioning, but there is no flaw in morality at all.

After thinking about it again, Jing Jian instructed: "Even if there are thousands of roads, you will always reach the city of Rome in the end. If you can't get enough shares and can't hold an extraordinary shareholders' meeting, even if public opinion is hyped up in the sky, it's useless. I will find a way to make it more difficult for the Wang family to acquire enough shares, so that they will not be able to reach their goal in a short period of time. ”

Kent and Smith were both slightly stunned. Bluestar is a listed company, theoretically speaking, you can buy all the market outstanding shares with money, even if $10 is not good, can't it be raised to $100?

With doubts, Kent asked, "Sir, do we have to take out the funds to buy it back?" According to his idea, if he wanted the Wang family to not be able to buy it, he had to buy it at his own expense.

Jing Jian smiled and shook his head: "I have my own way, and I don't need to use too much money." ”
