Chapter 316: Escalation of conflict
"I heard that Tiger Sniff Network has received tens of millions of Series B financing from Leech Financial Services in 14 years?"
Lin Zhenyang nodded at Zhang Yida, "Yes, I have checked, there is such a thing! ”
"You said that if the opponents in the pet industry are bad, they won't bring Dogfud and Daya Media, as well as Huinong Loan, right?"
After speaking, Zhang Yida looked up at the ceiling and began to guess who was behind the scenes.
"It may also be that the tiger sniffs the Internet and rubs the heat, and these self-media sometimes do whatever it takes to attract attention. ”
Zhang Lan, who was shaking, put forward her own opinion.
"I guess it may be Ahri, the companies involved in this article include Pindodo, Huinong Loan, Dogfude, Daya Media, Peter.com, etc.
A competitor of Spelling Duoduo has taken refuge in Ahri, and Huinong Loan also has a rural financial competitor called Zhonghe Rural Credit Co., Ltd., of which Ahri is the major shareholder.
Dogfud was involved in Zhang's head office opening a store on Taobao, which can be regarded as an introduction to cracking down on Doudo.
At the same time, this move also damaged Mr. Zhang's face to some extent.
Daya Media, Taobao itself also has live streaming and goods, which can be regarded as a competitor of Ahri.
As for Pete.com, it just happened to be hotly discussed by the society recently, which is incidental. ”
Huang Xiaofeng's Huimin Travel was not troubled this time, and he calmly analyzed Ahri's "motive for committing the crime" to everyone.
"That must be Ahri! I don't run! I know Ahri's style. ”
Sun Yutong, the former Ahri Eighteen Arhats, appeared to speak, and the people present nodded again and again.
"Jack Ma can't be so tasteless, right?"
Zhang Yida felt that if he did it once, he couldn't deal a heavy blow to himself, at most there was some public opinion pressure on the Internet.
After a while, netizens will forget all this.
"Whether it's Ahri or not, we have to direct the pressure of public opinion on them. ”
Zhang Yida glanced at Sun Yutong, is he so resentful of Ahri?
It's not hard to understand when you think about what happened to him.
As a veteran, he was kicked out of Ahri on trumped-up charges, and then broke down with Pang Lei and his wife because of these things in the company......
Zhang Yida thought about it, this approach is indeed feasible.
Because Ahri is the most suspicious, he is the weaker side compared to Ahri, and it is only fitting to throw the pot at Ahri. If you don't do it, you can win social sympathy.
Has BAT suppressed young entrepreneurs less in recent years? Either by acquiring shares or by beating them to death with a stick.
As long as there is a little guidance, netizens will immediately make up the picture: young entrepreneurial talents, who are randomly arranged by the mouthpiece media under the giant......
Under the guidance and polishing of the pen, an article titled "Chinese Internet Entrepreneurs in the Shadow of Giants" was released.
The article was published on the major WeChat public accounts and Weibo accounts of 36Kr, which quickly aroused heated discussions on the Internet.
The specific content is: "Technology startup media has become the mouthpiece of giants, deviating from a neutral perspective, slandering and orchestrating young entrepreneurial leaders......"
Zhang Yida himself also issued a statement through Weibo: "Counterattack against a troll media recently"
"First, I don't have a fortune of tens of billions of dollars, maybe in a few years, but not now. Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and the media should be responsible for the authenticity of the article;
Second, Peter.com's annual donation of 5 million yuan for animal protection has been implemented, and the specific use of funds and the list of accounts will be published on the Internet later.
Third, the annualized interest rate of the loan is only 6%-12%, and the interest rate of users with an early interest rate of more than 12% has been refunded a few months ago......
Fourth, in view of the unscrupulous media's derogatory personality and reputation damage to Daya Media's staff, which has constituted the "crime of defamation", we have applied to the public security organs for investigation. ”
......
Li Min, CEO of Tiger Sniff, looked at the comments under the article published by his peer 36 Krypton, as well as the comments under Zhang Yida's Weibo statement, his back was cold, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
She didn't expect things to be so big, she thought it would be easy.
casually pull a few paragraphs of Zhang Yida's "jokes" and let the outside world see the jokes, and the effect will be achieved, and the boss behind the scenes will be satisfied.
But she underestimated Ms. Zhang's determination to fight back.
Zhang Yida's 10 unicorn companies are like the fourth largest Internet "group" in China.
Is it possible for companies of this level to be arbitrarily arranged and kneaded by their venture capital technology media like those startups in the A and B rounds?
"Mr. Li, Daya Media, Peter.com...... These companies sent us lawyers' letters.
They asked us to delete the manuscript immediately and publicly apologize to them. Otherwise, they will sue us immediately. ”
The assistant hurriedly walked into Li Min's office and anxiously reported the news.
"It's coming so fast!"
Li Min said lightly, she has calmed down now.
When she saw 36 Krypton's counterattack article and Zhang Yida's Weibo statement, she knew that this thing would not be good.
Since you can't be good, you can only find a way to deal with it.
"Let's put the lawyer's letter here! One letter for one company! This Mr. Zhang really looks up to us. ”
After laughing at herself, Li Min waved her hand at the assistant and motioned for her to go out first.
The assistant looked at the "calm" Li Min, and felt ashamed that he could be so calm after causing such a big incident.
This may be the gap between the boss and the employee!
As soon as the assistant walked out of Li Min's office, he looked at a group of panicked editors gathered at the door.
"What are you doing?"
An editor had the courage to ask: "What's the matter? It's all going on the Internet, saying that Zhang Yida wants to make trouble with us!"
"Let him find it? It's all two shoulders and one head, what are you afraid of?"
The editor looked at this assistant who usually relied on Mr. Li's favor and commanded their editorial department, and he didn't know where he got the courage to say:
"That's a billionaire with hundreds of billions of assets, and there are 10 unicorn companies under his umbrella. What are we going to do with them?"
"Billionaire, you really believe it! He is still far from the second horse. ”
The assistant waved his hand again, "Let's go back!" Panicked, what do you look like!"
When the assistant came out of the office, Li Min dialed a phone call. In such a dangerous situation, she can only turn to her "thighs" for help!
"Mr. Pang, Zhang Yida wants to sue us......"
Pang Lei was in the spacious and bright office, holding coffee in one hand and listening to the phone in the other, looking at the ant-like pedestrians on the ground downstairs with gloomy eyes.
"Alright, I got it!"
Li Min was a little flustered when he heard Pang Lei's bland reply.
"Mr. Pang, you must help us this time!" Li Min was about to cry.
If Pang Lei doesn't care about her, her own career may be ruined.
"Mr. Li, calm down!"
Pang Lei was very disdainful in her heart, this little scene, I'm afraid that you will be scared like this? This kind of mental determination is destined to make you only mess around in the "small mud pond" for the rest of your life.
"Mr. Pang, Zhang Yida has applied to the public security organ to file a case, how can you tell me to calm down?"
Pang Lei took a sip of coffee slowly, and said unhurriedly: "Is Zhang Yida's establishment of a stray animal shelter for a show?
Huinong Loan issued a loan with an annualized interest rate of 24%, even if the interest rate was refunded some time ago, it is a real thing that happened.
They have a store on Taobao, which is also something that cannot be denied.
As for Daya Media's contracted anchor and dog anchor, it is indeed inappropriate for you to juxtapose them in the article.
But it's nothing, didn't Zhang Yida also authenticate Weibo for his six dogs?
You fight back with this, since he himself treats dogs as "people", why can't you media treat dogs as "people".
And the matter of the estimated value, what Forbes and Hurun are also doing, what can he blame?
Co-authored with our domestic media, is it easy to bully?
Li Min asked, "Mr. Pang...... You mean let's continue to deal with Zhang Yida?"
"Yes!"
Pang Lei said with a smile on the phone: "Even if you talk to him about this kind of thing, his own so-called "evidence" is untenable.
The longer it drags on, the greater the damage to his reputation. He'll compromise.
If Tiger Sniff withstands the "counterattack" of such a big tycoon, there will definitely be a place for you in the domestic self-media industry in the future. ”
"But they're going to sue us now?"
Pang Lei smiled: "This is a good opportunity! You guys are going to fight a lawsuit with him! Invite the best lawyer to come, and this matter can be made into a continuous in-depth report."
I believe that this lawsuit, no matter whether it is won or lost in the end, you Tiger Sniff will definitely become famous this time. ”
Although Li Min is not as capable as Pang Lei, she is not stupid, she retorted:
"If we lose the lawsuit, I'm afraid we will be the self-media that everyone shouts and beats. There will be no place for us in this industry. ”
"Then you admit defeat and surrender now and apologize publicly, do you think it is different from losing the lawsuit?"
Pang Lei's words made Li Min a little breathless, she knew that she was riding a tiger now.
In the final analysis, the media needs credibility, and if Zhang Yida apologizes publicly, the foundation for the survival of Tiger Sniff Network will be gone.
"Mr. Pang, the article published by 36 Krypton is attacking Ahri, aren't you going to do some countermeasures?"
Li Min knew that Pang Lei wanted to use herself as a gun, but she wouldn't rush up stupidly.
Ahri wouldn't be a pawn if she didn't promise some benefits, or leave a way back.
"That's ...... thing"
Pang Lei also saw the article, to the effect that the giant instructed the media to attack him Zhang Yida, and if the business competition can't be played, these tricks will be played.
Zhang Yida portrayed himself as an entrepreneur who went through hardships and obstacles and finally fought his way out of the iron curtain of giants.
Ahri, on the other hand, is a greedy giant that is constantly expanding its industry, swallowing up and destroying countless Internet companies.
"We're going to send a lawyer's letter to that company, and we're also showing solidarity with you online. ”
Pang Lei is not a good-tempered person, Zhang Yida instructed 36 Krypton to start kicking his nose in the face, and Ahri naturally had to fight back.
Giants also have the dignity of giants!
