Chapter 451: Conspiracy
"It's true, I've asked a few media leaders who have a good relationship with NetEase. That's what everybody told me, and there's a little bit more. The boy who originally wanted to rectify Sohu just wanted to teach the Sohu boss a lesson, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for someone else to make a move, and as soon as he made a move, it was a heavy move. The secretary said excitedly to Ding Sanshi.
As a native of Yanjing City, the secretary knows very well how much energy it takes to be able to mobilize more than a dozen mainstream media to collectively deal with a company in Yanjing City with a single sentence. At least in her understanding, if these people collectively deal with them NetEase, they NetEase will have to shed their skin if they don't die.
As a veteran NetEase employee who joined NetEase shortly after its founding, she certainly knows what the thorn in the eyes of President Ding Sanshi is. Now that Sohu has a problem, of course she is happy for Ding Sanshi.
Ding Sanshi's originally somewhat skeptical eyes were also somewhat convinced under the secretary's explanation, but he was not sure, he still picked up the phone at hand and contacted friends from several media. After getting the confirmation of those friends, Ding Sanshi really believed that it was Zhang Siyuan, the new boss of Sohu, who offended some people, and now someone wants to rectify him.
It's not that Ding Sanshi is suspicious, but Ding Sanshi knows very well that Zhang Yangchao, the chairman of Sohu at the beginning, is a child of the family, and the energy of the family behind him is also very large, but Zhang Siyuan got Sohu all of a sudden. Now that Sohu has suddenly had this kind of problem, Ding Sanshi really can't believe it.
Ding Sanshi, who got the confirmed news, also began to get excited at this time, you must know that Sohu, NetEase, and Sina were basically equal before, and no one could help anyone. Previously, 95% of the traffic of domestic portals was divided by the three of them, and some other small websites could share the 5%. But since Zhang Siyuan became the owner of Sohu, the proportion of Sohu has gradually surpassed NetEase and Sina. Although the amplitude is not large, it is also surpassing.
Otherwise, Ding Sanshi would not cooperate with Ma Tenghua, and the two sides exchanged 20% of the shares in order to jointly fight against Times Technology and Sohu. In his eyes, this business itself is a loss, but who made the investors behind it optimistic about Tencent's development, he has to do it. It's just that after cooperating with Tencent for a period of time, Ding Sanshi found that Ma Tenghua did have a few brushes, which also made Ding Sanshi have a different view of Tencent's future.
It can be said that so far, Ding Sanshi's resistance to cooperation with Ma Tenghua has turned into acceptance. Zhang Siyuan offended the big shots, so it is definitely not only Sohu that will suffer, but also another era of technology. Thinking of this, Ding Sanshi, who couldn't help it, hurriedly picked up the phone next to him and dialed Ma Tenghua's mobile phone.
After the phone was connected, Ding Sanshi said excitedly to Ma Tenghua: "Brother Ma, have you watched the news?"
Ma Tenghua, who had been busy outside for a long time before returning to the office, asked Ding Sanshi with some doubts: "What news, Brother Ding?"
Recently, Tencent has been short of funds, but the original investors are reluctant to make additional investments. The trip to Shanghai also ended in failure, and Ma Tenghua has been running around looking for new investors in the past few days. When Ding Sanshi suddenly called him, Ma Tenghua was surprised.
When Ding Sanshi heard this, he knew that Ma Tenghua didn't know about it, so he hurriedly said to Ma Tenghua: "Brother Ma, good news, great news." The chairman of Sohu, Zhang Siyuan, you know, right?"
"Isn't the chairman of Sohu Zhang Yangchao? Also, who is Zhang Siyuan?" Ma Tenghua asked rhetorically.
Ding Sanshi, who called over, was choked by Ma Tenghua's words, Ding Sanshi didn't expect Ma Tenghua to know that the chairman of Sohu had been replaced, and he was his biggest opponent.
Ding Sanshi was suddenly a little disappointed in Ma Tenghua, he didn't expect that Ma Tenghua didn't know who his biggest competitor was. It's no wonder that he has a little ability but can't do it all the time, and the news is so far behind. It's just that disappointment is disappointment, Ding Sanshi also knows that Ma Tenghua is a real grassroots, not as proficient in news as he is, he doesn't know that some things can be understood, and it's normal that he can't find some things.
He patiently explained to Ding Sanshi: "Zhang Siyuan is the chairman of Times Technology, and at the same time, he became the owner of Sohu more than three months ago. Now you are the chairman of Sohu and Times Technology, didn't anyone tell you?"
"This is really not, what I have been paying attention to here is Times Technology. The chairman of Times Technology wanted to check before, but he couldn't find it. Of course, the news is not as well-informed as Brother Ding. Ma Tenghua replied with a smile.
Then without waiting for Ding Sanshi to speak, Ma Tenghua continued: "Just now Brother Ding said that Zhang Siyuan offended people, does it have any effect?"
Ding Sanshi was really speechless for Ma Tenghua's reaction, and then said: "Zhang Siyuan has offended the big man, and now he is cleaning him up." If you look at the news this morning, there's a lot of negative news about Sohu. ”
Although Ma Tenghua was a little familiar with the name Zhang Siyuan, as if he had heard it somewhere, he didn't think about it again in a blink of an eye. Ding Sanshi's words attracted him, and he quickly turned on the computer and connected to some news websites. Then I saw a lot of negative news about Sohu, and it is still being reported.
Ma Tenghua didn't look closely, and after looking at it a little, he asked Ding Sanshi: "Brother Ding, do you mean to say that Zhang Siyuan has offended people, and now that people are rectifying his Sohu, maybe there will be a whole era of technology?"
"That's right. Ding Sanshi responded.
Ding Sanshi was satisfied with Ma Tenghua's reaction. The brain is still not bad, and you can figure this truth out in a blink of an eye. This also made Ding Sanshi's dissatisfaction with Ma Tenghua just now subside, waiting for Ma Tenghua to continue to speak.
Ma Tenghua thought for a moment in his heart: "Brother Ding, are you sure it is really possible to affect Times Technology?"
Although he knew that Zhang Siyuan had offended people and made people angry with Sohu, Ma Tenghua still wanted to make sure that it would affect Times Technology. After all, Sohu is now a large company with a market value of tens of billions, and it is not that it can be rectified. If the other party just wants to teach Sohu a lesson, not to kill Sohu, it will not necessarily affect Times Technology.
Ding Sanshi affirmed: "Don't worry, it will definitely be." According to what I've got, the person who started to shoot really just wanted to teach him a lesson. But there were other people in the back who struck, and the weight was very heavy. It can be seen that this Zhang Siyuan usually offends many people, but no one wants to be the first bird. Now, as soon as someone does it, many people immediately follow suit. ”
Ma Tenghua heard Ding Sanshi say: "That's really good news, there will be a big move on our side soon." If there is really any problem with Times Technology, then we Tencent may be able to surpass Times Technology. ”
When Ding Sanshi heard Ma Tenghua say this, he was dissatisfied again: "Brother Ma, don't you want to do something at this time?"
Ma Tenghua was a little puzzled by Ding Sanshi's question, and he didn't have any energy, how could he do anything to Times Technology. When a programmer of Times Technology stole the source code of QQ Legend from Times Technology, he only knew about it after the fact. That person was still arranged by the investor, and Ma Tenghua didn't think he could do anything to Times Technology.
Ding Sanshi said with some hatred: "Brother Ma, you have to think so. Although those reports didn't name Zhang Siyuan, we can make a fuss about it. If you think about it, those reports smeared the new chairman of Sohu like that, so let's go and find the media to beautify us. Isn't one black and one white able to bring out our image? Why not kill two birds with one stone?"
This is the idea that Ding Sanshi came up with after confirming the authenticity of the news, although he and Ma Tenghua can't go to Sohu and Times Technology on the surface, but under the influence of the general environment, even if they don't name names, everyone knows who they are talking about. In people's eyes, their two companies can become a positive image, and Sohu and Times Technology will become a negative image, even if Sohu and Times Technology are not killed in the end, the benefits to both of them are just as great.
When Ma Tenghua heard Ding Sanshi say this, his eyes lit up: "Brother Ding, what you said is good, I will let someone come to catch up with the manuscript immediately." At the same time, we will contact the media who have a good relationship with us, and we will start the development conference immediately. ”
Ding Sanshi also nodded: "Okay, then let's do this first." I'm going to arrange this too, and when our press conference is over, I'm sure there will be a lot of people following suit. ”
After hanging up the phone, Ding Sanshi said to the secretary standing aside: "You heard what I just said on the phone, go to the contact." Strive for five o'clock before the launch can begin. ”
The secretary nodded hurriedly and ran out, leaving Ding Sanshi, who had a smile on the corner of his mouth, alone in the office. The problem with Sohu this time is a good thing for those of them who are walking with Sohu or are catching up with Sohu.
When Ding Sanshi asked the secretary to go out to run errands, Zhang Siyuan had already explained all the problems to Zeng Fuhu, picked up the mobile phone on his desk and prepared to go out.
But before he walked out of the door, he received a call from Xiamen: "Third child, what's going on over there, why is there such a big fuss?"
"Second brother, do you know too?" Zhang Siyuan replied with a smile.
Ye Yongdong, who called Zhang Siyuan, heard Zhang Siyuan's laughter and knew that Zhang Siyuan must have been prepared, he was worried in vain, and he calmed down: "Can you not know, more than a dozen media, newspapers and online are all about this news, and I don't live in the mountains, and I don't have good news with the outside." ”
"I've arranged everything, and you can also talk to the fourth child. I know the fourth child must have asked you to ask, but you don't have time to look at these things. Zhang Siyuan said to Ye Yongdong.
