"Mr. Ding, someone is buying our company's shares on a big scale!" Cai An, the chief financial officer of NetEase, hurriedly broke into the office of the boss Ding Lei, with a solemn expression.

Ding Lei was slightly stunned, whether the other party was optimistic about NetEase's prospects, or did he have some other purpose, and couldn't help asking: "Who is it?"

"I don't know, the buyer has acquired 5.6% of our company's shares, and is already the third largest shareholder of our company, and the other party is still buying, and there is no intention of stopping at all. Cai Anhuo shook his head slightly, he felt that the other party was a little unkind.

Ding Lei holds 44% of NetEase's shares and firmly controls the company, and is not particularly worried that someone will make a hostile takeover, and muttered: "Pay attention to the other party's movements, since the other party's shareholding exceeds 5%, then they must be publicized within ten days. ”

Two days later, a press conference was taking place in a hotel in Beiping.

Zhang Ran sat on the stage, looked at the reporters in the audience, and said slowly: "There are 23 foreign actors in the list of foreign actors in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" listed on the Internet, of which only 7 are actors of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", and the rest have nothing to do with the movie at all, like Tong Ange and Jiang Dawei, who are not actors at all. Ordinary viewers don't know what to say, but the media is reporting on "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" every day, and it is impossible not to even see that this list is fake. It is really strange that such a fake and outrageous list has not been debunked by the media, but has been widely reported! There are even some online media who swear that I swear to the American flag, and I will say again today that I am Chinese, and I was, is, and will be in the future. ”

The reporters present laughed and said nothing, they naturally knew that the list was fake, but "most of the actors of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" are foreigners, how sensational the news is, only when the news sensation is there attention, and the sales of newspapers are high; and as soon as this news is released, you big stars and directors will definitely not be able to sit still, and you have to come out to refute the rumors, and we will write it again, this is called making news!

Of course, not all media just want to produce news, such as "Xinjing Daily", they hope to mess up "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", and even hope to mess up the 60th anniversary of the National Day.

Zhang Ran knew the joints, and he didn't break them, and continued: "I can't control other people's affairs, but NetEase, Xinlang, and the two NetEase Weibo big Vs spread rumors that I, Zhang Jingchu, and my parents are Americans, which is completely fabricated and misleading the public, and now it has affected the normal life of my family, and I will never bear this matter, so I have entrusted a lawyer to file a lawsuit to sue NetEase, Xinlang, and several big Vs!"

When the reporters heard this, they were very excited, Zhang Ran sued NetEase and Xinlang, and added the big V as the defendant, now there is a good show!

Without waiting for the reporters to ask questions, Zhang Ran continued: "I have another important news to announce!" Hearing that there was still important news, the reporters' ears were pricked up, and their eyes were firmly fixed on Zhang Ran, waiting for him to announce the important news. I saw Zhang Ran chuckle lightly and said lightly: "As of this morning, I have personally acquired 11.7% of NetEase's shares and become the second largest shareholder of NetEase." ”

The whole scene was silent, and the reporters were all stunned. In the past year or so, NetEase has often published articles to hack Zhang Ran, not only secretly harming him in various ways, but even giving him the nickname "National Teacher", and now Zhang Ran has finally been provoked!

After a brief silence, the scene exploded like boiling water.

A reporter asked excitedly: "Zhang Ran, what are you going to do? Do you plan to acquire NetEase?"

Zhang Ran smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Recently, NetEase didn't buy a piece of land in the south to prepare for pig raising, food safety is a big problem, I believe in the credibility and quality of Ding Lei, optimistic about the prospects of Ding Lei pigs, and I also hope that all the pork at home in the future will be Ding Lei pigs, so I invested." I'm just an investment, I don't have a personal grudge in it, it's not an acquisition, what am I doing when I buy a pig farm, do I raise pigs? Don't think too much about it!"

The reporter at the scene almost didn't laugh out loud, Zhang Ran was too damaged, a Ding Lei pig, scolding people and making you speechless!

Although Zhang Ran keeps saying that he is an investment and has no grievances in it, where are the reporters willing to believe it, you just announced that you are going to sue NetEase, ask the other party to apologize, and at the same time acquire NetEase's shares, if this is not retaliation, then there will be no retaliation in this world.

Zhang Ran's acquisition of Netflix in the offensive and defensive battle once made countless people applaud the case, which made people watch heartily, and now Zhang Ran has aimed at NetEase, this is definitely another wonderful drama, why worry about newspaper sales!

The reporters were overjoyed and full of anticipation for the next big show.

When the media present that day reported the news, they all analyzed the possibility of Zhang Ran's acquisition of NetEase, first, Zhang Ran had money and enough funds to complete the acquisition; second, the pinnacle of the century is the film company, and the film company needs to master the propaganda platform, just like the six major Hollywood film companies except Columbia, the other five have TV stations in their hands, and in China, TV stations belong to the state and cannot be controlled by private individuals, so the acquisition portal is the best choice.

As soon as the news of Zhang Ran's plan to acquire NetEase was forwarded, it immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens, and at the same time made Ding Lei feel nervous.

Especially after knowing that Zhang Ran submitted a Form 13D to the SEC, Ding Lei became even more nervous, and the Form 13D showed that Zhang Ran wanted to gain control of the company. Although Ding Lei holds 44% of NetEase's shares and firmly grasps the control of the company, now that his opponent is Zhang Ran, he really doesn't dare to take it lightly.

However, after thinking about it repeatedly, Ding Lei felt that Zhang Ran should be deliberately bluffing, and wanted to make some fuss about NetEase's stock price in order to retaliate against NetEase. It's just that he can't figure out what Zhang Ran will do, NetEase is listed in the United States, and the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States is extremely strict in supervising the stock market, and it is almost impossible to make a fuss about the stock price, for example, in China, you can sell stocks, drive shareholders to follow the trend, and thus suppress the stock price; but not in the United States, not to mention malicious selling of stocks, it is a normal selling, once the stock price falls sharply, it will also be recognized as insider trading, and face a huge fine; if the stock price rises abnormally after buying stocks, it will also be considered insider trading.

Once the SEC suspects you of insider trading, it implements a presumption of guilt, that is, as long as there is evidence to prove that the suspect obtained insider information, and then insider trading occurred, insider trading can be determined, and the person who is found to be insider trading must prove his innocence with evidence, if he can't produce evidence, then you are guilty.

Due to the extremely strict supervision of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, cashing out and manipulating stock prices have almost disappeared in the U.S. stock market, and investors in the U.S. stock market are almost all long-term holders, and no one dares to sell or buy a large number of short-term sales.

But because of this, Ding Lei couldn't understand what Zhang Ran would do, it was difficult to gain control of the company, and it was impossible to suppress NetEase's stock price, what did Zhang Ran want to do? Zhang Ran is now the second largest shareholder of NetEase, and he can recommend a natural person to the board of directors, he won't send someone to the board of directors to make trouble with me, right?

Ding Lei couldn't think of a reason, and he didn't want to really start a war with Zhang Ran, so he decided to meet Zhang Ran and see if he could solve it peacefully. Ding Lei had no contact with Zhang Ran, and he hadn't even met, but he knew Wu Ruide, so he made an appointment with Zhang Ran through Wu Ruide.

The meeting place was Huang Lei's bar in Sanlitun, which was quiet and elegant, with a literati atmosphere.

After a few pleasantries, Ding Lei looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I don't know what your real intentions are?"

Zhang Ran said lightly: "How long have you poured dirty water on me? I have become Zhang Guoshi! I am not a national teacher! Then the national teacher will tell you that you must immediately stop the infringement, delete the infringement report, and publish an apology statement on the first screen of the NetEase homepage for 30 consecutive days to eliminate the negative impact, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Ding Lei couldn't stand Zhang Ran's tone a little, and his face sank: "What if I don't agree?"

Zhang Ran smiled indifferently: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I think NetEase's stock price is undervalued, which is not in the interests of shareholders, so I will join the board of directors and unite other shareholders to spin off NetEase's Internet and game business into an Internet company and a game company, so that shareholders can get more benefits!"

Ding Lei only felt creepy, this is the favorite method of Carl Icahn, the wolf of Wall Street, recently, Carl Icahn is clamoring to break up Motorola, it is said that Zhang Ran has some dealings with Carl Icahn, he will not lure this hungry wolf to NetEase!

Thinking of Carl Icahn's invasion of NetEase Ding Lei's face is green, he holds 44% of NetEase's shares, of course, he can reject Zhang Ran's proposal for a spin-off, but if the vast majority of shareholders think that NetEase should be spun off, and he vetoes it strongly, it will inevitably lose the trust of shareholders, and may even trigger a battle for control of the company, plunging the entire company into chaos;

Ding Lei felt that his head was a little big, and he scolded the editor-in-chief of NetEase News in his heart, who are you messing with, just go and provoke Zhang Ran, how much trouble you have caused me, do you know? When this matter is resolved, get out of here! He took a breath and said in a calmest tone as much as possible: "Mr. Zhang, why are you bothering!"

Zhang Ran stared at Ding Lei, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and said coldly: "Why bother? To put it lightly! If you don't like me, if you have any problems coming at me, why do you want to involve my parents? Now their normal life has been affected! Don't you understand this truth if you don't sin your parents, your wife and children? Since you dare to be the first year of junior high school, then don't blame me for being the fifteenth!"

Ding Lei is not a little person who has never seen the world, but the piercing chill in Zhang Ran's eyes still makes his hair stand on end. He believes that Zhang Ran didn't say it casually, he was really angry, if NetEase didn't apologize, Zhang Ran would really try his best to dismantle NetEase: "I can agree to your request, but you must also promise me a condition." ”

Zhang Ran said coldly: "You say." ”

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Zhang Ran is extremely rich, and extremely capable, if he stays in NetEase, Ding Lei can't sleep: "You can't increase your holdings of NetEase, and after six months, you have to gradually empty your shares!"

Zhang Ran didn't have much interest in NetEase, and he didn't want to have too much to do with NetEase, a media with an "attitude", so he said: "After six months, I will gradually sell NetEase's shares!"

In the afternoon of the same day, NetEase published an apology statement on the homepage and entertainment channel.

On September 30, 2009, the homepage of NetEase.com's entertainment channel operated by the Company published a report on Mr. Zhang Ran and his family's immigration to the United States, which was unverified and untrue, infringing on the right to reputation of Mr. Zhang Ran and his family and misleading the majority of netizens. Our company has deleted the above report and sincerely apologizes for the negative impact this report has caused to Mr. Xiang Ran and his family.
