Chapter 319: This is called a rake
(Bow and thank you for the commuter pass support of "Kazujin Yu Shao" and "Funeral Things!)
"Zhou Ming, your courage is really too great, do you know who the old man is just now? He is my uncle, my previous ancestral hall leader, including Tang Ran's father can become the patriarch, and he can't do without his support, he just doesn't care about the affairs of the Tang family, otherwise his prestige and the strength he has at his disposal are the first people in the Tang family now!"
Tang Jingsheng said to Zhou Ming, his tone was very incredible, and now they were still in that conference room, but the old man had already left, leaving only Zhou Ming, Tang Ran, Tang Jingsheng, and Tang Huiyin.
After hearing Tang Jingsheng finish speaking, Tang Ran exclaimed: "Wow! I didn't expect that old man just now to be so powerful? No wonder Uncle Tang, you are so afraid of him, if it weren't for Brother Ming, you wouldn't know how to answer, right?"
Faced with this, Tang Jingsheng felt that he was choked, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and then he explained: "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you said, there is nothing to be afraid of, it's just that I have a heartfelt respect for my elders." β
Maybe Tang Ran has grown up now and has become mature under Lin Muqing's tutelage, but that kind of unconscious natural black still exists, especially in the matter of others targeting Zhou Ming.
At this time, Zhou Ming stood up and said, "Uncle Tang wants to say that I am reckless, but I want to say that no matter what kind of past the old man has just now, it doesn't matter to me, because I am not from the Tang family, so I just need to talk about things." β
Tang Jingsheng then realized that he was Zhou Ming, if he would be easily frightened, it would be unscientific; it is true that his prestige and the strength he has are the highest in the Tang family, but that is also for ordinary people, Zhou Ming does not belong to this category, he is not in the Tang family, and even the president of the United States dares to calculate, so naturally he can't do anything to him,
For Zhou Ming, anyway, you can't move half of my hair, so I don't care who you are, I can refute you have nothing to say;
Thinking of this, Tang Jingsheng shook his head helplessly, and he said to Zhou Ming: "Okay, but what he said just now is not unreasonable, as Tang An and other Tang family members get closer and closer, the situation can be regarded as clear, then we will naturally have to make some moves." After all, this time the newspaper analyzed that the Tang family was going to split, and it was very likely that they were throwing stones to ask for directions. β
"In addition, because of Tang Yu's support for us, we also have a lot of lists, these people are now in secret contact with Tang An, it is conceivable that these people are the most unstable factors within the family; β
Tang Jingsheng cautiously paid attention to Zhou Ming's attitude as he spoke, and seeing that Zhou Ming had no objections, he finally asked, "Then it's almost time to close the net now, right?"
Regarding Tang Jingsheng's caution, Zhou Ming smiled: "Of course it's no problem, I didn't plan to split the Tang family apart, after all, Ran Ran is still your patriarch, isn't it? If I go too far, I will be no different from Tang An, no matter what my starting point is, I was not ready before, so now Uncle Tang, you can go to Paro City with us, and we can start." β
Tang Jingsheng knew Zhou Ming's plan, so he nodded with relief: "It's finally time to start, shall we leave immediately?"
"You can do it at any time, but before we go over, it's best to contact the major media outlets throughout California and even the whole of the United States to make the news as big as possible, after all, they've been shouting at them for so long, and if you don't slap them in the face, they really don't know how thick the sky is. Zhou Ming said.
"Then you can rest assured, I have already contacted all the major media, and I am waiting for this day!" Tang Jingsheng patted his chest and said happily, "And I also got another news, saying that Tang An's Lombard company also happened to have a press conference at the Stanford Hotel, and we can also borrow that venue with them." β
Listening to Tang Jingsheng's words, Zhou Ming felt a little helpless, he thought that he was a little deliberately revengeful, but he didn't expect that this uncle in his fifties was actually heavier than his own revenge mentality.
But no matter what, this matter was settled, and then Zhou Ming, Tang Ran, Tang Jingsheng, and Tang Huiyin set off for Paro City.
They set off in an extended courtesy car, looking at the retreating scenery along the way, Tang Huiyin couldn't help but sigh: "I asked Ran Ran to come to Paro City to assess her inheritance, but I didn't expect that something like this happened to the Tang family today, and I had to go to Paro City to solve it, it seems that it is a kind of providence in the dark." β
Tang Huiyin's emotion was talking about this, but when Zhou Ming heard it, he felt that his reborn life was really called the will of heaven in the dark.
"Indeed, I agree with Aunt Huiyin's words, this is the will of God, but I believe that we must first have our own efforts, and then we will have the help of God's will, on the contrary, if we lose the prerequisite of hard work, then I think God will not be able to do it even if he wants to help. Zhou Ming said.
Tang Huiyin smiled and nodded: "That's right, so I'm glad that I chose to help you with Jingsheng at the beginning, instead of messing around with the juniors or looking at you with prejudice." β
The car drove very smoothly, and after an hour and a half in the city of Paro, they went directly to the headquarters of the company, where Jobs personally greeted them at the gate.
Seeing that Zhou Ming and they all got out of the car, Jobs opened his arms and shouted: "You are very welcome, I would like to send you my most sincere wishes on behalf of myself, and I wish you all the best!"
Zhou Ming and Tang Jingsheng both went over and hugged Jobs, and then Jobs took them into the Epai headquarters building.
In the past, although Mr. Jobs had left AP for a period of time for some reasons, but later due to the declining performance and market share of AP, and on the other hand, Mr. Jobs became famous in the industry because of the successful investment of Pixar Animation Studios, and a Toy Story became famous in the industry, in this case, Mr. Jobs returned to take charge of AP. β
While walking, Tang Ran introduced Jobs to Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin, and also introduced to Zhou Ming the changes in Jobs' situation after he went to Iraq.
Zhou Ming listened and nodded, this is actually not much different from the direction of Jobs in his memory, the only difference is time, Toy Story, which was originally supposed to be launched four years later, is now advanced to 90 years because of his own reasons, and Jobs also returned to the company ahead of schedule. I just don't know if Jobs will still fully support the research and development of multimedia players and digital operating systems, and whether the world-famous AP mobile phones will come out in advance?
It is said that Steve Jobs is a genius who changed the world, so if he can really do what he thinks, he can be regarded as a perfect assist to change the world, right?
On the other side, in the face of Tang Ran's introduction, Jobs said modestly: "Actually, I was able to return to the company thanks to Mr. Zhou Ming's help, if it weren't for the success of Toy Story, if it weren't for his proposal to use the Internet for marketing, I think it wouldn't be so easy for me to come back." β
When Jobs saw what Zhou Ming wanted to say, he said again: "Mr. Zhou Ming, don't be modest, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would take me several years just to negotiate with Disney, how could it be so easy?"
Zhou Ming is not a hypocritical person, since Jobs has already said so, he laughed and said: "Jobs, you think of me too noblely, I don't want any modesty, I just want to say, since you know that I helped you a lot, then this time you will give me a good job, you are an important person in our turnaround this time!"
"That's right, if Jobs you help us this time, I will definitely keep you in the Apai Company, at least you won't be kicked out again!" Tang Ran followed Zhou Ming and said.
For Tang Ran's natural blackness, Jobs couldn't cry or laugh a little, he could only nod and answer: "Don't worry, no matter who it is, I will definitely go all out!"
About ten minutes later, Zhou Ming and his entourage followed Jobs to the reception room of Apai's company, Zhou Ming and they sat here and waited for a while, and Jobs brought them two documents.
"This is a list of rental services of AP, mainly for the Lombard website and email server, in short, their servers and equipment are leased by AP, and their system is also maintained by AP. As he spoke, Jobs handed the documents in his hand to Zhou Ming and Tang Jingsheng respectively.
"So as long as we stop their services, they don't have any Internet services, whether it's a website or an email address, right?" Tang Jingsheng asked.
To which Jobs replied, "Strictly speaking, it is a breach of contract, but I can do it if you ask for it." β
Zhou Ming waved his hand indifferently and said: "What do you mean that we are violating the contract? When the time comes, we will say that they have violated the contract, so we have no choice but to terminate the service, if there is a lawsuit at that time, we will pay for a team of barristers to come over and find them one by one in the contract, I don't believe that they have not violated the contract!"
Tang Ran also followed Zhou Ming and said with a grin: "That's right, they violated the contract first, what do you care about us?"
Tang Jingsheng also said: "And because of their breach of contract, we not only have to stop the service, but we also have to take them to court, we have to hold them accountable, and we also demand compensation from them!"
Tang Huiyin also added: "Compensation alone is not enough, right? I think they should also make a public apology to the company in the media." β
Listening to the discussion of these people, Jobs suddenly had to mourn for the Lombard company, who do you say you provoked, do you have to provoke Zhou Ming? Is this someone you can provoke? Okay now, your inexplicable website and e-mail address are all going to be forcibly stopped, not only can you not get compensation, but you have to compensate others, but also apologize.
The key is that I have beaten you and I am still standing on the commanding heights of law and morality, and you have not yet been able to reason with it. Of course, in fact, these requirements are just like that, after all, the other party also has someone like Wood behind him, and he will definitely be able to invite a very capable lawyer team to help, so this lawsuit may not be able to bite down.
But now for Zhou Ming and them, it doesn't matter if they win or lose the lawsuit, the key is that they want to drag the Lombard company from the momentum of crazy development, and this lawsuit will pass casually for several years.
Finally, Zhou Ming glanced at the time and said, "It's already twelve o'clock at noon, why don't we eat first, and then the press conference in the afternoon, I can't wait!"
