16. Press conference
It's finally here.
The system was as punctual as ever.
I remember that before, he just registered the company and got the seed round investment, and now, after the team is formed, the angel round investment has arrived, there is a saying in the venture capital circle, the seed round looks at the idea, the angel round looks at the team, and the system is really implemented in strict accordance with this.
What is a seed round? No team, only ideas, 1-2 founders, a sum of money, to help the company get off the ground.
What is an angel wheel? The team is basically there, about 3-5 people, and after doing it for a while, the product is about to be demoted, which can be seen internally.
However, the volume of micro-news is obviously beyond that of ordinary start-ups.
The $10 million financing was about to arrive, and Lin Xiaoguang suddenly felt that his waist was stiffer, so he directly called Yuan Fang and asked her to rent a vacant 1,000-square-meter office building upstairs, so that there would be 600 workstations, which could be maintained for a while.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference was held on time at the Hilton Hotel.
Lin Xiaoguang was ready to make a big move.
He has a different view of public opinion.
Public opinion has two sides, it is a double-edged sword, if it is used well, it will harm others and benefit itself, and if it is not used well, it will hurt oneself.
Sometimes, even if the whole network is abused, it can still enhance the popularity of the micro-message network, and it doesn't cost a penny, and the social product of micro-message is famous.
What's more, the front is burdened with infamy, and it's time to reverse it later, as long as the truth comes out, the micro-message network can receive a wave of goodwill, why not?
Regarding Xia Linlin's three revelations, the first one, this one that discriminates against women, he actually doesn't care much, because as long as he exposes her true colors, even if he is warned by some female boxers, he can win the support of a large number of male netizens.
As for the second one, the unspoken rule of female secretaries, is this still a thing? What private company owner doesn't have a story with a beautiful female secretary now?
Weixin Network is a company, not an administrative organ, a female secretary is not illegal, a civil servant can still be said to be a violation of discipline, he is a private business boss, and he wants to deal with him with this kind of moral constraint, it is useless, at most it causes the hatred and disgust of some female boxers, as well as the jealousy of male compatriots, and nothing else.
As for the third, the harem group, this is even funnier.
In fact, when he first saw this, there was no wave in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh a little.
Men will not refuse such scandals, because of scandals, the relationship between the parties becomes no longer pure, it will be a little unnatural, and after a long time, it may be unclear, and even become ambiguous, in case there are sparks later, and the parties are together, they have to thank these scandals.
In addition to the moral loss, there is also a at the legal level.
However, when it comes to many women in the company, he can't ignore their attitudes, and he must put on a very serious appearance to make them feel at ease.
Of course, you can't sit on the accusation of extravagance, after all, he didn't do anything, and his girlfriend is only Su Mo.
At this press conference, he made a lot of preparations and ordered a suit at CC, but he could not pick up the goods until a month later, so he went to Yintai's Givenchy store to buy a more fitting royal blue suit, which cost more than 10,000 oceans, which is quite cheap.
When the minute hand of three o'clock passed, he, Yuan Fang, and Qiao Ziran walked into the venue together and sat down on the rostrum of the press conference.
From the moment he entered, he continued to murder Filin, one after another clicks sounded, the lights flashed, the camera tracked, and the noisy crowd suddenly became boiling.
Lin Xiaoguang looked at the full number of reporters in the conference room and immediately smiled.
There are so many people, it seems that there are many people who pay attention to this wave of hot spots, so let the reporters spread it, and let netizens see what kind of rotten thing Xia Linlin is.
The press conference was presided over by Yuan Fang, and Qiao Ziran answered on behalf of the WeChat network.
When Yuan Fang announced the start of the press conference, a reporter from Sina News preemptively handed the microphone in front of him and asked, "Mr. Lin Xiaoguang, how do you explain discrimination against women?"
This press conference was broadcast live.
Not only Sina and Tencent News, but also Weixin Network itself, the company's development department has made an official website in the past few days, and there is also a live broadcast on it.
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and said: "Discriminate against women, this hat is too big, I don't dare, and I won't, after all, my mother is a woman, my sister is also a woman, and many employees in the company are women. ”
There was a slight commotion in the audience, and the reporter of Goose Factory News seized the opportunity and asked: "Mr. Lin Xiaoguang, do you admit that your company discriminates against female college student applicants who have been in contact with foreign teachers or international students?"
The whole audience was staring at him.
He shook his head: "It can't be said to be discrimination, nor is it aimed at everyone, it can only be said that the WeChat network does not agree with Miss Xia Linlin's social outlook." ”
He admitted it in disguise, and the audience was immediately excited.
The reporter of Goose Factory News was not at ease and intended to make a big deal about it, so he asked: "Xia Linlin is just in normal contact with foreign teachers and international students, and the WeChat network does not agree with international exchanges between students?"
Lin Xiaoguang didn't dare to wear this big hat, smiled, and said: "When doing the background investigation, HR went to Miss Xia Linlin's alma mater to visit, and we have sufficient evidence to show that Miss Xia Linlin's contact with foreign teachers and international students has exceeded the scope of normal international exchanges between people, and has also crossed the bottom line of a girl's self-esteem and self-love, and it has violated the simple and insistent ethics of Chinese people." ”
The audience was in an uproar.
Although he didn't say a word, Xia Linlin was involved in the duoren movement with foreigners, but there have been rumors in the market for a long time, and the reporters are even more well-informed, how could they not know.
A reporter from Nandu Daily asked: "Mr. Lin Xiaoguang, does your company have clear evidence, otherwise you will be imprisoned for spreading rumors and slander." ”
"The company received the video from anonymous netizens in the mail, but considering that once the video is released, it will cause great harm to Miss Xia Linlin, so I am not ready to announce it, here I apologize to Miss Xia, the way the company dismissed may be a little rough, this farce has caused such a long time of heated discussion, it's time to end, I hope the two sides can shake hands and make peace. ”
"Here, I sincerely apologize to the public for wasting public resources, and in order to apologize, WeMessage Network will donate 1 million RMB to set up a charity fund and carry out charity. ”
"Next, I will hold a meeting with the angel investor Summit Fund, and the follow-up questions of this incident, reporters and friends can ask our manager Qiao. ”
"I'm sorry, let's go first. ”
After he finished speaking, he shut up, bowed deeply, and left the scene directly.
The matter behind the press conference was handed over to Qiao Ziran to deal with, and many reporters asked questions in turn, she was polite, courteous, reasonable, and well-founded, refuting the rumors and slander on the Internet one by one, and at the same time generously admitted that the WeChat network was involved in acquaintance socialization, as well as anti-996 or 007, anti-blessing and anti-overtime news.
Before the press conference ended, Lin Xiaoguang's speech on it caused a sensation on the whole network.
This time, it is no longer the whole network that abuses, almost all male netizens are supporting him, and at the same time, a large number of female netizens have also changed their camp and turned to support him, after all, no one dares to risk the world's disapproval.
And Xia Linlin, who had been paying attention to the press conference, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw him tell the truth in a grand manner: "How dare he?"
In her opinion, after all, this involves foreign teachers and international students, as long as he cares a little about the relevant policies of the state on foreign teachers and international students, he will not be entangled in this topic, but who expected him to be not afraid at all, and he can even be said to be unscrupulous.
In the back, when she heard that there was still a video, the whole person was confused.
"Why is there a video?"
As soon as the press conference ended, Fang Nan's phone called: "Brother Guang, do a good job, finally expose the true face of this slut, but there is no video, the majority of netizens are still unsatisfied, or you send me the video, I will watch and watch." ”
"Fuck off!"
This farce is big enough, and many people think that Lin Xiaoguang is in trouble and will be severely condemned like the last Wanda Mountain propaganda conference, but in fact, no, public opinion is going towards Xia Linlin.
This is the strategy of the media department, and the counterattack is only aimed at Xia Linlin alone, not involving her alma mater, Jiangcheng Normal University, let alone the relevant national policies on foreign teachers and international students.
At the level of public opinion, the company also spends a lot of money and intends to guide.
Xia Linlin alone, how can she be compared with the capital with the funds in her hands, and it is only a matter of time before she is suppressed.
Sure enough, in response to this incident, Jiang Normal University did not speak out, and the relevant state departments did not speak out, and Xia Linlin was scolded on the Internet, and netizens were too addicted to eating melons.
On Tuesday evening, Fang Nan asked Lin Xiaoguang to meet, and after a chat at the fisherman's house in the rivers and lakes, Bao Dahai heard the news and also looked for him.
"Brother Guang, I thought about it for a while, and I think, ah, it's better to make money with your back to the big tree, aren't you developing a micro-message to promote? Otherwise, I'll open a promotion company, don't do anything else, just promote micro-message for you, whether it's Weibo, force, post it, or a forum, where there are people, I'll organize people to post and let them sign up for micro-message, how about it?"
Fang Nan looked at him expectantly.
This idea seems to be good, Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "Okay, you go to register the company first, organize manpower, and wait for my angel round investment to arrive, I will sign a list with you, but the company will analyze and count your promotion effect, and you have to talk to someone from the company's business department." ”
As long as he nodded as a boss, there would basically be no problem, and Fang Nan suddenly relaxed: "Okay." ”
Bao Dahai on the side was also a little envious when he heard it, it seemed that this business was done, and after thinking about it, he was also a little eager to try: "Brother Guang, Xiaonan, why don't I also invest a million in it?"
"Dahai, you don't look like a person who does things, don't get involved, have fun with your female college student, Brother Nan, what do you think?"
Bao Dahai came in, what else was going on with himself? Of course Fang Nan didn't want him to come in, so he immediately shook his head again and again.
Seeing this, Bao Dahai suddenly wilted, he swiped Douyin, and suddenly shouted: "The video of Xia Linlin's involvement has been exposed, Brother Guang, you are so awesome." ”
Lin Xiaoguang was a little confused.
