At a press conference at the Stamford Hotel yesterday, Jobs, chairman of the board of directors of the company, announced in front of all the media that the Lombard technology company had violated the rules in using the equipment leased to the company, so the company decided to terminate the contract with the Lombard company as agreed, stop all services in terms of equipment and information, and seal the database.

Jobs said that the move was to preserve the evidence, and the company will sue the Lombard company, and if the company wins the lawsuit, the company will face more than 500 million US dollars in damages.

At the scene, Lombard Vice Chairman Tang An accused the company of a treacherous act, and said that it was a conspiracy of all other Internet companies to unite against him.

However, Jobs said that Tang An's accusation was unreasonable, and that Aipai's behavior was only a reasonable and legal act against the contract, and Tang An's accusation was simply to divert the attention of public opinion, hoping to win the public's sympathy by pretending to be a weakling. At the same time, Jobs said that if Lombard can win the lawsuit, then Apex will pay any amount of compensation if required by law, but this kind of thing will not happen in the United States, where the law is sound.

According to the analysis of this special commentator, no matter what the final verdict is, Lombardy will be in a very difficult situation, because of the cessation of the use of equipment, and even the sealing of the database, all Internet services in Lombardy will not be able to operate, and they can only re-rent servers, re-code and establish websites and e-mails, but this is only a remedy.

But the website and e-mail can be rebuilt, but the credit cannot be bought, after this crisis of the company, Lombard customers and investors must be suspicious of him, what if he defaults again?

In such a situation, his clients and investors will be lost in large quantities, so this morning all the fund houses and venture capital institutions raised the investment risk of Lombard to the maximum. To put it simply, the odds of a return on your choice to invest in a Lombard company are better than going out and giving a beggar a dollar, and then ten years later that beggar will become rich and come back and give you a million.

……

This is the morning news of the economic channel of San Francisco TV, and one of the protagonists in the news, Jobs, chairman of the company, is accompanying Zhou Ming, Tang Ran, Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin to eat breakfast at this time.

After the press conference ended yesterday, Zhou Ming and the others were not in a hurry to go back, so they stayed at this Stanford Hotel.

After reading the news, Jobs said to Zhou Ming: "Now that the impact of the matter has come out, the stock market opened today, and the stock of Lombard fell below more than 20 percent." ”

Hearing the news, Tang Ran wrinkled his cute little Qiong nose and snorted and said, "Who dared to scold Brother Ming, plagiarize Brother Ming's ideas, compete with Brother Ming's Internet company, and still think about splitting the Tang family, from today's result is his own fault! Isn't it just an Internet company? What's so good?"

Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin were a little crying and laughing at Tang Ran's words, because Tang Ran first cared about Zhou Ming, and then their Tang family, a patriarch made like this, it is estimated that she is the only one.

Zhou Ming said at this time: "It is true that the Lombard company that can kill him is a good start, but this is not the most important thing, after all, no matter how powerful an Internet company is, it cannot shake the Tang family. ”

With Zhou Ming's words, the atmosphere on the scene also became solemn, because this was exactly what they were worried about.

It was Jobs who first said: "I'm sorry I'm not from the Tang family, and I don't know the operation of the consortium family, so I can't help anything in the future, but if there is anything I need to do, I will definitely do my best to complete it!"

Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin both thanked him, and then Tang Jingsheng said: "This incident will cause two possibilities, one is to give up, and the other is to cohesion. ”

Tang Jingsheng stretched out two fingers: "It's very simple to give up, because Tang An can talk about other family members, relying on the shares he holds in the Tang Bank, as well as his advantage over Tang Ran and the ancestral clan in the situation, this advantage gives others an illusion that they can succeed if they follow him." And now that the Lombard company has been defeated, his advantage no longer exists, then the others will naturally give up. ”

"Another possibility is cohesion. Tang Jingsheng continued, "In the past, the reason why Tang An and the others have not acted is likely to be because they have disagreements on the distribution of some interests, and now with the failure of the Lombard strategy, they will have a sense of crisis, which will then prompt them to give up some entanglements in the details, and soon reach an agreement and cohesion." ”

"Two diametrically opposed possibilities, we don't know what they're thinking until they start moving, it's Schrödinger's cat, and we don't know if the cat is dead or alive until the box is opened. Tang Ran said.

"In fact, to determine whether they unite or give up, the decision is still in our hands. ”

Zhou Ming's words made everyone feel extremely surprised, because they didn't understand at all, how could this decision be in their hands? Zhou Ming then asked: "I know you are very confused, so I want to ask you whether you are worried about them giving up or cohesion?"

"Of course, it's condensation, we only worry about them if they will take action, if they give up, what else do we have to worry about?" Tang Huiyin said.

Zhou Ming immediately answered: "That's right, according to Murphy's Law, if you are worried about the occurrence of a certain situation, then he will be more likely to happen, so since we are all worried that they will coalesce, then they will inevitably coalesce." ”

In the face of Zhou Ming's explanation, everyone couldn't cry or laugh, and Jobs also said: "I really didn't expect Zhou Ming that you are still a philosopher." ”

"I'm not interested in boring philosophy, I'm just a businessman who just wants to make money. Zhou Ming said, "Actually, I talked a lot of nonsense just now, and what I want to say is very simple, that is, we can't pin any hope on others, but our own efforts, because if we are prepared ourselves, then it doesn't matter what their final result is." ”

After hearing Zhou Ming's words, Tang Jingsheng immediately burst out laughing: "That's right, look at my brain, I've lived for dozens of years, and I'm really going back more and more! That's right, what is the result of them? As long as we are well prepared, we naturally don't need to be afraid of them." ”

After about twenty minutes, after eating breakfast, Zhou Ming, Tang Ran, Tang Jingsheng, Tang Huiyin, and Jobs all left, after all, they all had their own companies to deal with, no matter how big the matter was between Tang An and Wood, they couldn't always revolve around them.

After they were separated, Zhou Ming and Tang Ran came to the airport, looking at the time, at ten o'clock in the morning, a special plane flying from the port city landed at San Francisco Airport, and soon the plane stopped, Zhou Ming and Tang Ran followed the airport ground staff into the tarmac, the cabin door opened, and a familiar face appeared.

"Cousin Muqing, welcome back!" Tang Ran beckoned happily, because the person who stepped out of the plane was Lin Muqing, and behind her were Tong Gang, chairman of Gangcheng Shipping Group, and Li Cheng, chairman of Changhe Industrial.

Seeing Lin Muqing wearing a waist-cinching suit with a pair of pencil pants, she looks mature and fashionable, and the suit and pencil pants also perfectly highlight her proud figure.

Although Tong Gang and Li Chengdu are famous business tycoons in Hong Kong City and even the world, Lin Muqing walked in front of them at this moment without feeling any artificiality, as if everything was natural.

Zhou Ming himself also felt a little emotional: What a person who has changed the environment! Although he felt that she was very mature and elegant from the first time he saw her, it was only for a small place of the 760 factory, and she was a little frightened when she came to Hong Kong City? However, as she took over the golden name fund company that she left her, and later became the chairman of the Hong Kong City United Investment Fund Company, this momentum became even more powerful.

Zhou Ming noticed that when Lin Muqing walked down the escalator, the staff at the airport below reached out to help, but they didn't even have the courage to look up at her.

"Cousin Mu Qing, I want to kill you!"

Before Zhou Ming could say this, Tang Ran shouted first and threw himself at Lin Muqing, looking at Tang Ran throwing himself into Lin Muqing's arms, Lin Muqing looked like she was rubbing her hair with a doting face, I'm afraid it's hard to imagine that the relationship between them should actually be regarded as rivals.

On the tarmac, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing just said hello briefly, after all, it was very noisy and cold outside the airport, and then they returned to the lounge.

They all sat down in the lounge, they were all their own people here, so there was no need to be polite, so Lin Muqing first reported to Zhou Ming: "Everything on our side has been done, and the companies you said have been communicated, including some contracts have also been signed by our entrusted representatives, it can be said that now except for the formal handover, all other procedures have been completed." ”

Zhou Ming nodded, and then asked Tong Gang and Li Chengdao: "Then there is nothing wrong with the investment, right? For example, will the investors have any objections, or will the direction of the funds be obvious?"

They shook their heads together, and Li Cheng replied: "No, because Chairman Lin Muqing has been investing in the Hong Kong City Joint Investment Fund for more than two years, and all our investors trust him very much, and many of the funds this time are also from the Tang family, there will be no problems, the only thing to worry about may be the flow of funds." ”

Li Cheng added: "Our fund transfer is done through offshore accounts, and also through the turnover accounts of companies such as casinos and nightclubs, but if there are people who want to check, they can always find out." ”

"After all, time is limited, and we have such a large amount of money transfers, it is impossible to completely hide it. Zhou Ming then changed the conversation and said, "But time is equal to both sides, our time is not enough, and the other party's time is also not enough, after all, Brother Cheng, you have also walked the running water of casinos and nightclubs, even if you want to check, it is difficult, so the problem is not big." ”

In the end, Zhou Ming stood up and said, "Okay, I know that Chairman Tong and Brother Cheng must be tired when you come back from a long journey from Hong Kong City, so I'll send you back to rest first, right?"

Then Zhou Ming took them out of the airport, Zhou Ming arranged two cars, one for Tong Gang and Li Cheng, and one for Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing and Tang Ran.

When he got in the car, Tang Ran knew that Lin Muqing had been away for so long, so he took the initiative to sit in front very sensibly.

However, in this unsealed car, Zhou Ming didn't really do anything with Lin Muqing, but just touched her pretty face distressedly: "Sister Muqing has worked hard." ”

And Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Ming with confused eyes: "As long as it's for you, I won't work hard, and I don't want you to just talk about it, you have to have some time to act." ”

While speaking, Lin Muqing's slender jade hand also touched Zhou Ming's chest, making Zhou Ming gasp.

After all, no matter how many goddesses Lin Muqing is, no matter how many queens Lin Muqing is, no matter how many others don't even have the courage to look at her more, but she is still a woman after all, and she still needs to be accompanied by a man, and there is only one man who can conquer her and make her take the initiative to let go of her reserve, and that is Zhou Ming.
