Chapter 216: Another Year (1) What to talk about
214γ
Zheng Xiumin stammered: "Wholly-owned acquisition? She had never considered this possibility, and she had never imagined that she would encounter such a situation.
In Life Online, similar investors are received and dealt with by Doris, and they have completely isolated investors, of course, because they will never sell their hard work.
Qi Na was still a little hesitant before, feeling that Taozhen.com had moved a killing machine and wanted to put his life online to death, and even thought that he would think about the mechanical arm and robot of Qilin Wings.
It wasn't until the end of the day that he realized that their purpose was so simple and direct, that is, to take down Life Online.
But why punish those sellers who operate in two stores? What is the purpose of this? Did he calculate that we would come unexpectedly? There is still a backhand, but we came unexpectedly, and Qi Na's doubts almost guessed the other party's design.
Zheng Xiumin is completely messed up, so she wants to give up the company she has worked so hard to run and leave with the money?
It's completely impossible to do, the life that has paid all these efforts is like her life, she can't imagine what kind of state she will be without life online, the walking dead?
Zheng Xiumin shook his head and said to Niu Wu again: "Mr. Niu, thank you for your love, but we will not sell our lives online." β
This is the basic attitude she and Qi Na have always had, at the beginning because of the tight cash flow, there was also the idea of introducing venture capital, but at that time, the scale was small, and the venture capital looked down on, and then the economy has not been rich, but the tight life, coupled with coincidence, finally got through the sadness, and since then there is no intention to introduce investment, and until the quarrying legend is launched, Life Online has become a rich peasant from abject poverty in one fell swoop, and can also pay high wages to Qi Na and Zheng Xiumin.
So although Zheng Xiumin was surprised and flustered, she immediately expressed her position.
Niu Wu laughed twice and said, "With the resources in the hands of Life Online, five billion is indeed a bit less, so how about 10 billion?" β
He doubled the acquisition capital lightly, as if he was buying vegetables at the vegetable market, and he didn't care. It seems that he is also showing his sincerity in this way.
Zheng Xiumin listened to the tens of billions number, her heart beat wildly, her cheeks instantly flushed with excitement, and even her breathing was a little short, after all, this is tens of billions, if you get this money, then wouldn't you be a billionaire? At this time, she had no master of the six gods, and she had no opinion, so she turned her head to look at Qi Na, as if she wanted to get some advice from Qi Na!
But Qi Na also fell into deep thought, and his face was solemn.
Niu Wu said indifferently: "Do you need to discuss?" β
He glanced at Qi Na and Zheng Xiumin, there was expectation in his heart, and he was also a little unwilling, of course, life online is worth tens of billions, an SPE browser agency in China, plus intelligent robots full of ****, they can be worth back tens of billions of investment.
But it's a pity to spend a lot of money on something in your hands.
Zheng Xiumin looked at Qi Na, hoping to get Qi Na's feedback.
Qi Na shook his head at Zheng Xiumin, his eyes were very calm, after all, in the middle of the year, he encountered the acquisition offer of SPE Browser, the Faith Blog's billion-dollar acquisition of the SPE Browser, at that time, the SPE was much weaker, and it was valued at a billion dollars by the Faith Blog, so the large-scale life online, is it worth tens of billions?
Qi Na didn't think the price was too high, and he even doubted Niu Wu's determination because of these two offers.
Niu Wu talked about the three engines of life online, and these are what Taozhen lacks, these three engines are very complementary to Taozhen, and the company that simply owns one of the engines, if it is favored by Taozhen, it is impossible to lower than the quotation of five or six billion.
This is Qi Na's thinking out of the quotation, but another thing makes him feel a little uneasy, what is the origin of the middle-aged flat-headed man next to Niu Wu, Niu Wu does not introduce him, and he himself does not speak.
Qi Na doesn't think that at this moment, Niu Wu is just a friend and a guest?! What does he do? Can he interfere with Niu Wu's decision?
As a result of these thoughts, Qi Na shook his head at Zheng Xiumin, and then said to Niu Wu: "Mr. Niu, we will not sell the company, which is contrary to our vision. I'm sorry. β
Qi Na's decision was Zheng Xiumin's decision, but Zheng Xiumin thought about it more practically, and immediately interjected: "If you really want to talk to us, it's best to unfreeze the accounts of the sellers who operate the two stores." β
"Well, won't sell the company? Your decision was a bit hasty! Niu Wu was still very indifferent. Although in reality, he breathed a sigh of relief, some felt sorry for Qi Na, and felt the value of the things that he spent a lot of money on again.
Qi Na's words and deeds are Zheng Xiumin's beacon and her backbone, and at this time she strengthened her belief and said to Niu Wu: "Mr. Niu, thank you for your love for our life online, but we will not accept any form of acquisition or investment, and our cash flow is enough to ensure our future operation." If there is an opportunity in the future, hope we can cooperate in other ways! β
This was said very tactfully, but Zheng Xiumin was a little apprehensive, after all, the fate of tens of thousands of merchants and sellers was still here in Niu Wu. She also hopes that the topic of acquisition will be over, and she will continue to communicate with Niu Wu to solve the account problem of the merchants and sellers operating in the two stores.
But she is obviously too naΓ―ve, and she has a hint of fantasy about Niu Wu, which is to seek skin with the tiger.
Niu Wu stared at the ceiling with his eyes, and suddenly said, "What is the core concept of life online?" β
Zheng Xiumin was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The real-name online real community, trust from offline to online." β
"It's a very unique concept," Niu Wu said, "openness, transparency, sharing, responsibility, this is our philosophy, which is similar to yours, but we emphasize responsibility more." β
"Yes," Zheng Xiumin said earnestly: "Taozhen is a great platform for entrepreneurs, it can be said that it has solved countless jobs for the society, and your role is even called the second prime minister, because in China, you solve the second job with him, which should be Taozhen's social responsibility." β
"Not bad." Zheng Xiumin's compliment did not make Niu Wu smile, but his face sank: "At the same time, we are also emphasizing openness and transparency. Openness is the broad-mindedness of our platform, and transparency is the test of what we do. β
Zheng Xiumin was still nodding, she was starting to be a little confused, what was Niu Wu talking to her about.
At this time, as if he had discovered Zheng Xiumin's confusion, the corners of Niu Wu's mouth curled up under his gloomy face, and the smile he showed was strange and ruthless.
He pointed to the middle-aged flat-headed man next to him and said, "Let me introduce, this is my friend, the secret unit, Colonel Yan." β
Secret unit, Qi Na's body was shocked, and he was stunned, sure enough, he was born in the military, what does Niu Wu mean by doing something like this, is it a threat to me?
The confidential unit, which is also involved in the IT industry, is the Internet Intelligence Department, in addition to the Network Information Department of the National Intelligence Agency.
However, these two units are independent, the Internet Intelligence Department is subordinate to the military, and the National Intelligence Bureau itself is an independent department involved in national security.
Qi Na couldn't help but look at Major Yan again, and Major Yan also looked at him coldly.
Qi Nazhi said, Niu Wu's back hand is coming.
Colonel Yan snorted coldly and said to Qi Na: "I have heard about the name of President Qi Na, and it is an honor to see him today. β
Qi Na's heart fluttered, and he faintly felt that it was not good.
At this time, Niu Wu said coldly: "We also communicated with Mr. Qi Naqi a long time ago, at that time, we just valued the virtual fitting system, and we were willing to buy it at a high price, also out of the importance of talents, but we were unexpectedly rejected by Mr. Qi Naqi, and then NMC also rejected us." However, NMC has eyes but no beads, let go of Mr. Qi, and NMC has become a thing of the past. β
Qi Na stared at Colonel Yan and said calmly: "I'm an unknown junior, so I'm sorry for your attention." Not necessarily. β
"Mr. Qi Naqi, don't be too upright." Niu Wu nodded at Colonel Yan.
Colonel Yan snorted coldly, looked away from Qi Na, and said in a deep voice: "We received a batch of information from the Internet Information Department, some of which are very interested, we carefully studied it a few times, and found that the information in the information is very familiar, so we carefully merged and retrieved the information in our hands, and added some materials, it turned out that it was really an acquaintance, I really didn't expect that Mr. Qi's college career was so colorful, and your current skills were also the foundation laid at that time!" Those friends have gone away from home, but you stay in China, which is really rare. β
What are you afraid of, the sweat on Qi Na's back soaked through the vest, and Colonel Yan's meaning was already obvious, he had already connected Qi Na with the hacker organization that was in the limelight a few years ago.
The broken bridge of the Internet has almost been erased in his memory, but this moment is awakened again, and it is by the people of the security services.
What's even more disturbing is that Niu Wu's previous rhetoric of "openness, transparency, sharing, and responsibility" is paving the way for Qi Na's privacy.
What else can make an e-commerce company with a real-name online community and online and offline trust as its slogan be questioned?
Now the best question comes, that is, the chief technical officer CTO is a well-known hacker, and even a long-wanted cyber hacker β a hacker who steals the privacy of netizens.
Previously, Qi Na's low profile seemed to have become the best annotation that he was a wanted hacker.
This incident almost put him in a predicament again.
Qi Na had sweat on his forehead, the information of the Internet Intelligence Department was not accurate, he was very confident, but he did not understand the information of the Information Department, and he did not have the capital to question the quality of Colonel Yan's evidence, Colonel Yan's words just now simply showed that they already had a deeper understanding of themselves than the Internet Intelligence Department.
Even outside of the words, it was revealed that they had a complete intelligence chain for Qi Na.
Qi Na's face was calm, and the dense beads of sweat on his forehead seemed to be caused by the overly warm heat. He smiled and said, "I don't understand what you're saying. β
Colonel Yan smiled: "You don't understand? The **** in the Internet Intelligence Department were played by you, selling their art and selling themselves, the people in the Internet Intelligence Department are stupid, we are not bad! β
He was talking about Tian Xiu being countered by Qi Na.
Qi Na simply ignored this Colonel Yan and said, "What? Is it fashionable to frame out of thin air and frame it wantonly? "He is suddenly not entangled with the exposure of his identity, with his current status, the ability of Qilin Wings to show high-speed innovation, even if it is exposed, so what? Isn't Apple's Woznik also a hacker? Aren't Bill Gates and Paul Allen also hackers? The identity of the hacker does not discredit them, it only adds a legend to their lives.
But!
Can the two nascent companies, Life Online and Kirin Wings, resist this war of words?
Colonel Yan sneered, "You just have a hard mouth. β
"Mr. Qi Naqi, your talent may not be known to the public, but it is recognized in the industry that there is no one who is better than you." Niu Wu smiled: "No one takes your little things too seriously!" β
Qi Na sneered and was silent. Nobody takes it seriously? Isn't Niu Wu using these things to deal with himself? The cybersecurity hand is definitely something they have carefully designed. What if they want to drown themselves with dirty water?
"If Mr. Qi is willing, I will be neutral and ask Colonel Yan to burn these materials." Niu Wu said generously.
Qi Na sneered again and again: "Niu Wu, you spend such a big circle, aren't you just trying to live online?!" β
"Mr. Qi, why do you have to do this?!" Niu Wudao: "Tens of thousands of families are waiting for money to go home for a good year." β
"The Qilin Wings can't do without you. There are only more than fifty programmers in total, what else can they do without you? β
"There are thousands of employees in Life Online, and Life Online is just an ordinary online shopping platform."
"Do you really want to choose this way and abandon them?" Niu Wu looked fake.
Zheng Xiumin once heard Qi Na talk about the hacker past, but the details are not clear, and he doesn't know that his hidden identity in the cyber world is actually still wanted.
At this moment, the exposure of Niu Wu and Colonel Yan, and Qi Na's reaction, made Zheng Xiumin a little surprised, and her reaction to Qi Na's subtleties already had her own judgment.
But this will not interfere with her feelings for Qi Na. Even if she is told that Qi Na is a murderer and a pervert now, she will only be the same as now, the first time she is surprised, and the thought after that is how to help Qi Na get rid of the crime.
As for life online and tens of billions of assets, it becomes unimportant in a moment.
"Mr. Niu, the two of us revere and admire you, if you are not willing to raise your hand to the sellers of the double store operation, why should you be aggressive to us?" Zheng Xiumin let go of everything and began to beg.
"Xiumin, let's go." Qi Na pulled Zheng Xiumin's arm, and in his heart, he had already connected the three things in his heart: the long-term slander of the network security investigator on the Internet, Niu Wu's freezing of the Shuangdian operating account, Niu Wu's reluctant offer of 10 billion, and Colonel Yan's insider revelation threat.
He could almost guess Niu Wu's inner world.
Niu Wu envied the three engines of Life Online, which was missing by Taozhen, Life Online refused any form of investment and acquisition, which made Niu Wu salivate and could not get it, so he decided to crack down on Life Online, first the network security investigators fought alone against Life Online, and then they took action against sellers who were close to Life Online and were operating in dual stores, and blocked their accounts.
Qi Na can already think of Niu Wu's abacus at this time, if Life Online ignores these sellers and merchants who have been affected by themselves, it will inevitably cause a large number of sellers and merchants to flee Life Online, coupled with the scandal of security - the CTO is a hacker who steals user privacy, or a hacker wanted at large, these two things are bound to make Life Online have serious business difficulties. At this time, Taozhen.com came forward again, and the acquisition became a good choice for Qi Na and Zheng Xiumin.
Or at that time, Qi Na was imprisoned, and exchanged Qi Na's freedom with Zheng Xiumin, and the acquisition may not cost much money!!
So, if Life Online envelops merchants and sellers at the very beginning, and pays away the funds that Taozhen has blocked, then merchants and sellers don't seem to leave Life Online, but tens of thousands of merchants, this huge cash pressure on Life Online, it is conceivable that there will be difficulties in operation, and the killer feature of the security scandal will also hit the Life Online website hugely.
Security scandals, the months of attacks that preceded cybersecurity investigators, can even be a straw that crushes people online at a time when people are increasingly concerned about their privacy.
And SPE Browser and Kirin Wings are bound to dissociate themselves from Qi Na as soon as possible, otherwise they will be both prosperous and loss-making.
This is a terrifying serial plan, and it is also a poisonous plan to put Qi Na to death and achieve the goal.
And Niu Wu's hesitation to offer tens of billions of dollars today may just be that he didn't expect Zheng Xiumin and himself to come to the door. Qi Na thought to himself, but the innocence of himself and Zheng Xiumin in a hurry inadvertently bumped into the shocking conspiracy hidden in the shadow of life at this moment.
Zheng Xiumin didn't think as deeply as Qi Na, but there was one thing she knew better than Qi Na that Qi Na's current environment was not safe, and that Colonel Yan was in control of his life.
Just one public arraignment was enough to ruin Qi Na's life, she got rid of Qi Na, propped her hands on the Taipan platform, stared at Niu Wu and said: "Mr. Niu, raise your noble hand, please." β
Qi Na was a little annoyed, but even more moved, he knew that Zheng Xiumin was for himself, but he still grabbed Zheng Xiumin and said, "Let's go." β
Niu Wu said at this time: "Walking out of this door, don't you regret it?" He began to persuade gently, the smallest price, the shortest time to win the life online, is his goal.
But Qi Na grabbed Zheng Xiumin, her tall body completely enveloped her, and in only three or two steps, Zheng Xiumin, who begged Niu Wu for forgiveness, was dragged out of Niu Wu's office.
Zheng Xiumin struggled desperately, but she never thought that Qi Na's strength was so great and she would be so domineering, and said anxiously to Qi Na: "The things they said are so important to you, how can you turn a blind eye." I'm just going to do it, what about Lisa?! What about those colleagues and friends in Ningnan? β
Qi Na was silent.
"Now that they've done it, can we run away from it? Xiao Qi, don't have any illusions. Why care about gains and losses! Qi Na has always had some memories of Zheng Xiumin as a philistine and a small citizen, but at this time, she moved Qi Na freely.
She is desperately trying to find a way out for herself, for herself and for each other.
Qi Na felt guilty and felt sorry for her. But this is not the time to show his feelings, it is for him to make a decision!
There is no doubt that escaping will not solve the problem, and returning to Ningnan is not much different from being in Xizhou City.
Niu Wu can use a killer weapon now, use public opinion, and launch an attack on Life Online in the midst of the media's fueling. A New Year's holiday is not enough to heal the blow that Life Online has suffered. Instead, these problems will be fermented, accompanied by official gestures, such as the issuance of a wanted warrant by the CIA, which is enough to leave Qi Na with nowhere to escape.
Qi Na had only one way to go: to disrupt their plans before Niu Wu could use his killer move.
Following him, he can only rely on the prestige brought by Life Online and Qilin Wings to endorse him, which is exactly the same bleaching path he thought about the year before.
Do you want to do it!? How?
And there is not much time left for Qi Na. Zheng Xiumin didn't think as deeply as Qi Na, but there was one thing she knew better than Qi Na that Qi Na's current environment was not safe, and that Colonel Yan was in control of his life.
Just one public arraignment was enough to ruin Qi Na's life, she got rid of Qi Na, propped her hands on the Taipan platform, stared at Niu Wu and said: "Mr. Niu, raise your noble hand, please." β
Qi Na was a little annoyed, but even more moved, he knew that Zheng Xiumin was for himself, but he still grabbed Zheng Xiumin and said, "Let's go." β
