Chapter 396: Fake News

Yu Jingqiu has been going to China for a while, and Li Zetian basically has to talk to her on the phone every day.

What made Li Zetian helpless was that Yu Jingqiu fell in love... filmed "A Bite of China", but refused to come back no matter how much he persuaded him. As we all know, filming documentaries is very hard, the film crew needs to go over the mountains and mountains often, and how can her delicate body stand it!

"My dear, it's too hard, let's come back!" Li Zetian called again to persuade.

"It's not hard at all, so don't worry!"

"Okay, then you should rest early at night, you will definitely be tired during the day......" Li Zetian said with concern.

"Got it~~"

"Well, then I'll hang up!"

"Hmm. ”

The time difference between the western United States and China is about 16 hours, and at this moment, it is still daytime on the American side.

After Li Zetian finished the call, put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, and immediately turned on the computer to browse the emails at work.

Since April, blogs and LinkedIn sites have been launched, except for eBay.

The eBay website is an e-commerce site, so it takes a little longer to prepare.

PayPal was on the right track, and Zhou Qiqi took over eBay.

Li Zetian looked at the email, and on July 15, the eBay website will be officially launched.

Kiki's identity itself is the focus of the media, and at that time, as long as the news is released before, there will definitely be countless media to help publicize it!

Li Zetian replied to Qiqi with an email at this time, eBay is an online auction and shopping website, and it is still different from common e-commerce, so in any case, you have to come up with some special publicity methods - that is, write advertorials for publicity!

Not long after the email was sent, Qiqi replied with an email: "Brother Zetian, you are really amazing!

Li Zetian replied with a smile: "Come on!"

"Uh-huh!!"

A few days later, the news of Kiki's switch from PayPal to eBay spread, causing a huge sensation in the industry.

"Damn, it's really fake, Zhou Qiqi actually jumped ship? She actually didn't work under her brother's company?!"

"What's going on? PayPal is under her management, obviously developing well, how could she change jobs?"

"What kind of company is eBay? Li's sister abandoned her brother ......"

"Anyone with inside information can tell me what the hell eBay does?"

"Damn, this can't be fake news, is it? Li's sister hype?"

"I think it's hype! This eBay company is too shameless!"

“……”

As soon as the gossip spread, the media moved.

Downstairs at PayPal, dozens of reporters were squatting, and if it weren't for the security guards who didn't let them into the building, they would have rushed in.

"I must interview Zhou Qiqi this time, what is the reason for her to abandon her brother's industry and work in other companies!"

"Could eBay also be Chronos· Li's industry?" a tall journalist speculated.

A middle-aged man with blond hair shook his head and said, "I don't think it's possible, I heard that eBay seems to be an e-commerce site." As we all know, Amazon Inc. is a member of Chronos· How could he possibly create another e-commerce company?"

When the reporters next to them heard this, they nodded in agreement.

"yes, Belloc did a good job! It shouldn't be possible for Li to create two e-commerce companies, and it would be difficult for these two companies to fight against each other and consume resources?

"Yes, the eBay company should have been created by someone else. It's just that I really can't figure out why Zhou Qiqi jumped ship from PayPal!"

A pot-bellied reporter laughed: "Hehe, is the founder of eBay Zhou Qiqi's boyfriend?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone around them burst into laughter.

"Thomas, your imagination is truly impressive!"

The pot-bellied reporter said a little proudly: "Hehe, I have already thought about the title and content of tomorrow's press release - "The World's Richest Man Chronos· Li's sister abandoned her brother and joined her boyfriend's company" !!Hehe, what do you think of writing like this?!"

"Hey, Thomas, I have to say, journalism is really for you!!"

"That's right, Thomas, you're a genius!"

“……”

Thomas was just joking, but seeing that everyone admired his idea, Thomas suddenly thought, this is really a good idea, alas, I really regret saying it, let the reporters know, maybe they will copy their ideas when they go back? Oh, damn it......

Thomas smoked a cigarette, annoyed,

……

After leaving work from day to night, Zhou Qiqi was never seen coming down from the PayPal company building.

The journalists' legs are numb!

"Zhou Qiqi must have left from other places, and we can't interview anyone, so we can only go home!"

"Alas, I waited all day!"

"Flashman, go home and rest, I'm tired!"

"Hey, Thomas, I'm looking forward to seeing your newspaper tomorrow! Do you dare to write that?" a bespectacled reporter shouted at Thomas.

Thomas smiled and said, "You remember to buy the newspaper tomorrow!"

Unscrupulous journalists, unscrupulous newspapers, what dare not be written.

When Thomas got home, he immediately wrote four or five hundred words in less than ten minutes!

Then I sent the press release to the newspaper!

When the editor-in-chief saw it, his eyes lit up and he praised Thomas Dajia!

Not bad, kind of interesting!

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper immediately decided to make Thomas's article the headline the next day.

The next day, the newspaper came out.

Thomas went to the newsstand and flipped through the other newspapers, then yelled.

"Made, sure enough, there are many newspapers that have copied my ideas, I'm really angry! I have to ask them for royalties!"

The newsstand owner smiled and said, "Hey, sir, do you want to buy a newspaper? Li's sister abandoned her brother and joined her boyfriend's company, and the company she wants to join is also an e-commerce company, called eBay, which is to compete with her brother's Amazon company!!!

"Don't buy it!"

Thomas threw down the newspaper and left, scolding in his mouth: "Buy a yarn, that's all Lao Tzu's idea!"

The voice was so small that only he could hear what it was.

……

It was not yet noon, and many newspapers for entertainment and gossip were sold out.

These fake news are flying all over the sky and causing a national sensation in the United States for a while!

Even the most authoritative and serious media couldn't help but reprint the article of bad journalist Thomas.

After reading the newspaper, Li Zetian shook his head with a smile.

After reading the newspaper, Zhou Qiqi's cheeks were stained with a hint of redness, and she looked slightly ashamed.

"Hmph, how can these newspapers be so scribbled! Make up scandals out of nothing! Especially this Thomas reporter, it's really bad, and he has no professionalism at all!" Kiki said angrily, "How could I abandon my brother, eBay is obviously my brother's company!"

The American public likes to hear about these news, and they like to watch the embarrassment between celebrities and celebrities the most, as if celebrities are making a fool of themselves, and they are satisfied.

Thomas's fabricated fake news quickly spread all over the Internet, causing countless online names to discuss it!

But in any case, the eBay website has not yet been officially launched, but it is already extremely famous!

A few days later, eBay held a press conference, and Zhou Qiqi personally admitted to jumping from PayPal to become the CEO of eBay. But he didn't answer whether he joined his boyfriend's company because he abandoned his brother.

As soon as the news came out, it naturally shocked the whole United States!

Before, it was just gossip, and many people thought it was an apocryphal fabrication by entertainment newspapers, which was not credible. But Zhou Qiqi personally admitted to changing jobs, which is enough to cause a sensation.

So, since it's true to change jobs, is it also true to abandon your brother and join your boyfriend's company?

Many people open the newspaper written by reporter Thomas a few days ago again, and feel that it is very credible!

More people are following eBay and the topics of discussion have become extremely large.

Countless netizens even criticized Zhou Qiqi, and the scolding was miserable!

Zhou Qiqi saw the comments of these netizens, her angry little face flushed, and she felt extremely wronged.

"Brother, you see that netizens are scolding me, can you hurry up and announce that eBay is also your company!" Zhou Qiqi couldn't help but call Li Zetian and said.

"Okay! I'll have someone hold a press conference right away to clarify for you, and you will cooperate with it!" Li Zetian nodded in response.

Many things, netizens don't know the truth of the facts, they are easily influenced by public opinion, one-sidedly think that what they see is right, and then incarnate as a keyboard warrior, scolding, I don't know the so-called scolding!

is the so-called "three people become tigers"!

Well, it's terrible that a fake can be scolded as true!

Li Zetian didn't want Zhou Qiqi to be hurt, so he agreed to Zhou Qiqi's request.

Although he said that he could use this public opinion to continue the hype of eBay, he did not want to do so.

So, Li Zetian appeared in front of reporters that day, scolding bad reporters and bad newspapers for false reports, eBay is actually his industry, Zhou Qiqi is still single, no boyfriend! Zhou Qiqi jumped ship because PayPal is on the right track, Zhou Qiqi wants a more challenging job!

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, the reporters were stunned.

Then, Li Zetian said in righteous words that he would sue reporter Thomas and his newspaper for fabricating fake news and causing certain mental harm to the parties!

"It's over, Thomas is done! This guy is so stupid to die that he dares to spread rumors about Chronos· Li and his relatives, aren't they looking for death?"

"Yes, Thomas is hopeless and too bold! Li, what happened? The Sun is gone!"

"Alas, some people can't do anything for the sake of success, for fame, and grandstanding!

“……”

Thomas watched Li Zetian's press conference on TV, his back was in a cold sweat, and his face was pale.

He panicked and regretted it!

The newspaper where he works has already jumped into the air, and countless employees have submitted their resignations and packed up their things.

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper looked dull and muttered: "How could this be? Li made a fuss and made up all kinds of scandals, but I didn't see him care......"

The editor-in-chief looked at the court summons on the table and wanted to cry without tears!

For Li Zetian, the newspaper fabricated an affair with a female star or something, of course Li Zetian didn't care, but if the newspaper hurt his family, Li Zetian would not let him go!

Therefore, Li Zetian will definitely punish bad reporters and newspapers!

Maybe Li Zetian hasn't been powerful for too long, and the newspapers think that Li Zetian is easy to provoke, so the courage of these entertainment newspapers has gradually become bigger.

This time, let them see clearly, the tiger is not threatening, I am a sick cat, see if you still dare to scribble?!

The lawsuit between Li Zetian, Zhou Qiqi and Thomas and the newspaper is in an uproar.

eBay's exposure has also increased dramatically!

Soon it was July 15th, and countless people were looking forward to the official release of the eBay website.

As soon as the site was released, the number of visits was phenomenal and the number of registered users continued to climb!

Countless netizens were surprised and curious to find out that eBay was actually an online auction and shopping website, and they also began to try to trade!

At the end of the day, eBay completed more than 30,000 transactions!

The eBay website easily became popular, and its popularity was not as good as Amazon.com, and many venture capital institutions on Wall Street evaluated the market value of eBay, all of which exceeded $1 billion.

Goldman Sachs: "If eBay agrees to invest in me, I'm willing to value it at $1 billion!"

Sequoia Capital: "Although eBay was released on the first day, it can rank among the top 10 websites in terms of traffic! Sequoia Capital is very willing to invest in eBay and value it at $1.2 billion!"

DFJ: "DFJ is willing to value eBay at $1.5 billion!!"

“……”

Seeing so many venture capital institutions pursuing eBay so much, this can't help but make other Internet companies envious and jealous!

"Alas, it's only the first day of eBay's release, and there are so many venture capital companies that want to invest in it, and they offer such good conditions, it's really more popular than popular!" said the CEO of an Internet company, shaking his head and sighing.

"Yes, the gap is too big! Ordinary Internet companies, even after a few months of development, venture capital companies only need to spend a few million dollars to obtain at least 20% of the company's shares, and most of them may have more than half of the shares! But look at eBay, alas, it's really unbearable, it's so unfair!"

"No way, that's the reality! If the owner of eBay isn't Chronos· Li, even if the popularity is as hot as it is now, it is impossible for the company's market value to reach more than $1 billion on the first day of the website's release!"

"Well, these VCs are interested in Chronos· Li。 ”

"Indeed, Chronos· Li is so awesome and has had so much success that if I were the boss of a venture capital firm, I would have decided to do the same! Li's company will definitely not lose money!"
