Minutes and seconds passed, and when the hands pointed to 4:50, the head of Mars Huaxia walked into the room.

Roland Maas was in a particularly nervous mood at this time, and when the other party approached, he whispered in his ear: "Mr. Maas, the time is up." Roland Maas's heart became even more flustered.

Perhaps seeing Roland Maas's nervousness, the person in charge of Huaxia District whispered in his ear: "Mr. Maas, our press conference will end soon, you go up and talk for a maximum of ten minutes, and the rest of the time will be handed over to the host, add up to the front and back, if it is fast, it will take ten minutes, if it is slow, it will be half an hour at most, and you can leave at half past five at the latest." ”

"Half past five......" Roland Maas muttered, nodded and said: "After the end, contact Makino Technology as soon as possible, I want to see Li Mu, the sooner the better." ”

"Understood. The person in charge of Huaxia District said: "When the time comes, I will contact Li Mu's assistant directly." ”

"Good. Roland Maas sighed lightly, stood up, and said: "Hurry up and solve this mess in front of me, I can't bear it anymore, tell the host, wait for the opening of the meeting to say a few words, and make the opening remarks more concise." ”

At this time, the media reporters at the press conference had already set up long guns and short cannons, and were waiting hard.

At five o'clock, the lights gradually dimmed, the stage lights gradually increased, and a host in a suit stepped onto the stage.

The host came to the center of the stage with a microphone in his hand, spoke in an authentic broadcasting voice, and said: "Thank you for coming to the press conference of Mars Inc. in the United States, the preparation time of this conference is relatively short, and many tasks have not been able to do it, and I hope you can bear with me, on behalf of all Mars employees, I would like to thank all the friends who visited." ”

After speaking, the host held the microphone in his lower abdomen with both hands and bowed deeply to the audience.

After a few moments, the moderator immediately picked up the microphone and continued: "For the sake of time, let's get straight to the point and invite Mr. Roland Maas, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mars Inc., to the stage. ”

As soon as the words fell, Roland Maas stepped onto the stage from the side of the stage, and his appearance seemed to give a burst of chicken blood to the media reporters present, and everyone immediately cheered up and clicked at him.

Roland Maas had never heard such a dense shutter sound, and the click of the flash, the flash from the pavement almost made him lose his vision for a moment, and finally adjusted his mentality and rhythm, and walked to the center of the stage.

This distance of less than 20 meters seems to Roland Maas as long as 20 kilometers, and in this distance, he estimated in his heart that he had been taken thousands of photos by hundreds of reporters in the audience, and estimated that tomorrow these photos would be accompanied by all kinds of ridiculous headlines and land on the front pages of major media around the world.

When he walked to the center of the stage, Roland Maas, who had always been well-informed and had a good psychological quality, was nervous and didn't know what to do.

After a full minute to force himself to calm down a bit, Roland Maas picked up the microphone and said in English: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Roland Maas, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mars, and thank you for coming. ”

Roland Maas bowed, then stood up and continued: "The fundamental reason why this press conference is held is that on behalf of Mars, I would like to express my deepest apologies to Makino Technology for our previous malicious marketing!"

After Roland Maas said this, he only felt that his face was hot, and the heat even burned his eyes, making his eyes pantothenic.

After a pause, Roland Maas took a deep breath and continued: " A few days ago, Mars missed an online resource auction of Makino Technology, and after the auction was obtained by a competitor, our CEO at that time was very annoyed about the missed opportunity, and on impulse, made up a lie that was extremely lacking in professional ethics, and falsely claimed that Mars missed the auction because of the failure of Makino Technology's online bidding systemAnd lack of professional ethics, here, I would like to pay the highest respect to Makino Technology. ”

With that, Roland Maas bowed deeply again, this time, for ten seconds.

Ten seconds later, Roland Maas stood up and said with a sigh of relief: "Thank you again for coming, thank you!"

After this sentence was finished, Roland Maas turned around and got off the stage without hesitation, a large number of reporters hurriedly raised their hands to ask questions, and even many reporters rushed to Roland Maas, but the latter went directly to the VIP room under the escort of the staff, leaving the chaotic scene to the host.

A press conference with the theme of apology came to an end.

Although Roland Maas only came up to say a few paragraphs, in the eyes of the media, this press conference is simply the most solemn apology in the field of modern business.

Li Mu knew the full content of the press conference at the first time, and he was generally satisfied with Roland Maas's public apology, no matter what Roland Maas thought in his heart, at least his attitude was sincere enough and the wording was objective enough at this apology meeting, and he did not shirk responsibility.

However, this was not enough for him to let Roland Maas and Mars go away, and in the back, he still had one pit after another waiting for Roland Maas.

At the press conference, the first thing Roland Maas did after returning to the VIP room was to ask his assistant to contact Li Ziwei and try to meet with Li Mu.

Li Mu did not refuse this time, and directly asked Li Ziwei to convey Roland Maas, telling him that he could meet him in Makino Technology, and after getting Li Mu's definite reply, Roland Maas immediately left the press conference site, took a low-key Buick business vehicle, and went to Makino Technology again.

On the way to Makino Technology, Roland Maas asked for a small gel pen from his assistant and carefully pinned it in the inside pocket of his suit.

This gel pen is actually a voice recorder with almost no flaws, which can record for more than ten hours in a loop, which is a nirvana tailored by Roland Maas to Li Mu.

Roland Maas felt that an arrogant young man like Li Mu, after forcing himself to bow his head and apologize, would not give up the opportunity to continue to humiliate himself, just after the press conference, he also wanted to meet with him and talk about the specific aftermath, to put it bluntly, he begged him to raise his noble hand, so he guessed that when he actually met, Li Mu's arrogance would be even more arrogant.

In this case, prepare in advance, and when the time comes, when Li Mu pretends to be forced by himself, he will deliberately show weakness, while letting Li Mu take the initiative to expose the subjective intention of deliberately suppressing Mars, and then quietly record Li Mu's arrogant side, and then directly throw a big reversal to the world, so that they can see the actual face of Li Mu.

In Roland Maas's view, Li Mu's own character in the outside world is too perfect, and the more perfect the character, once a scandal breaks out, it will collapse more completely, so he hopes to use this opportunity to meet Li Mu to directly destroy Li Mu's personality.

If you let yourself get the evidence that Li Mu is arrogant and arrogant, and deliberately threatens to use his influence to force Mars to comply, he can find a chance to win back a city;

If Li Mu himself is not satisfied with his apology for the press conference, wants to get more vested interests from Mars, and at the same time gets first-hand evidence by himself, then Li Mu will be even more doomed.

Roland Maas knows that Li Mu's appetite has always been very big, and the wave of blackmail from Google is simply a lion's mouth, if he dares to put forward a bad attempt against Mars in person, then he can directly reverse the whole incident and make Mars the ultimate winner.

The business car came to the door of Makino Technology, and Roland Maas and his assistant got out of the car and walked into the building.

This time, it was the front desk lady who received Roland Maas, but today she did not stop Roland Maas, but after completing the registration, she said to Roland Maas: "Mr. Maas, we Mr. Li only see you alone, as for the others, please move to the reception room to rest first." ”

Roland Maas nodded slightly, and then followed a staff member up the elevator alone.

The staff directly brought Roland Maas to the door of Li Mu's office, Li Ziwei was already waiting here, and when she saw Roland Maas being brought to the door, she took the initiative to greet him and said, "Hello Mr. Maas, I'm Li Ziwei." ”

"Oh, Miss Li!" Roland Maas looked at Li Ziwei with a friendly face, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect Miss Li to be so beautiful, it's better to meet if she is really famous!"

Li Ziwei smiled indifferently and said politely: "Mr. Mas has won the award." ”

After that, without waiting for Roland Maas to speak, Li Ziwei pointed to the door of Li Mu's office and said, "Our Mr. Li is waiting for you inside, please come in." ”

Roland Maas hurriedly thanked him and walked back into the office.

At this moment, Li Mu was fiddling with the kung fu tea set on the coffee table in the reception area, and when he saw Roland Maas entering the door, he smiled very politely and beckoned to him, saying, "Hello Mr. Maas, you came just in time, come and taste the taste of Huaxia tea." ”

Li Mu came up so friendly, which caught Roland Maas a little off guard, he was stunned, then walked up to Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I have heard your name for a long time, and I finally have the opportunity to meet today, and it is really an honor to meet you." ”

Li Mu looked at Roland Maas, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Maas, don't be so polite, come, please take a seat." ”

Roland Maas sat down opposite Li Mu, and wanted to take Li Mu's words in his heart, so he said with a humble face as soon as he came up: "Mr. Li, I have held a press conference and apologized according to your request, I don't know when you will be able to lift the many restrictions on Mars by the titter? ”

Li Mu smiled quietly and said, "Mr. Maas, what is this, the Internet is a virtual world, what kind of content are users willing to post, and what can I interfere with? Do you want me to deliberately block those negative news for the sake of Mars?"
