Chapter 51: What the hell is Shengshi Technology? (a)

When the first morning light on September 27, 2018 illuminates New York City, which is located next to Washington, D.C., everything is as normal as ever, and the world is still moving quietly.

Only some reporters have received the news that a little-known Shengshi Technology Co., Ltd. will hold a press conference today. Those reporters, at the request of newspapers, TV stations, and websites, came to attend the press conference held by Shengshi Technology's headquarters in New York City.

David Romero Garcia is one of them. He is the best reporter for the Spanish newspaper El País in the United States, and he is generally only responsible for high-end interviews. Like politicians, well-known experts and scholars, celebrities, heads of large companies, etc., only high-end interviews with these people will make him full of passion.

But this morning, his boss brutally asked him to turn down an interview with a celebrity and go to the goddamn Shengshi Technology Co., Ltd. news conference. This made him angry.

He had made several appointments with the celebrity before finalizing the interview, which was supposed to be a meaningful and interesting one.

But the rare arrogance of his boss still made him have to turn down the interview and rush to New York to attend the press conference.

But what the hell is this Shengshi Technology?

He drove over from Washington, D.C., and all he thought about along the way was what this Shengshi Technology had to do with his boss.

This company is obviously a small company with no reputation, and he has never heard of this company in the United States for so many years.

What is there to attend at the press conference of such a small company, but his boss Rodriguez solemnly asked to attend the press conference and complete the interview with his heart.

Not a beginner, and you're afraid that I won't be able to complete the task?

Because of the extra advice from his boss, David was very depressed.

Shengshi Technology's headquarters, located next to Central Park, is a small 8-story building on the 86th Street side of the 87th block directly opposite the Jacqueline Kennedy Reservoir.

He followed the navigation, turned from Fifth Avenue to 86th Street, and then turned to 87th Street, which was traveling in one direction, but when he went in, the parking spaces on both sides of the road were full, so he could only look at the destination in the car, and then went around in circles, found a parking space on the street next to him, got out of the car and walked over.

This damn Shengshi Technology, at first glance, is a pheasant company, how can a really important press conference be held in such a remote place. If the office location is not grand enough, large companies will choose to go to a five-star hotel to hold an important press conference.

Only this kind of company with no reputation and no money will hold a press conference in its own office.

When I walked to 87th Street, I suddenly met a reporter I knew well, who was a man from the country. The two greeted each other and chatted as they walked.

Fa Guo people also came to participate in the press conference of Shengshi Technology.

"It's a patent trolls," said the man, "and they have nothing but lawsuits." ”

The Fortune Man has obviously done his homework and is a little better than him.

The two talked about being forcibly assigned by their bosses to participate in the press conference of such a small company, and they were both impatient.

This kind of press conference of a small company, if not 1,000 but 800 a day, is attended by those small media, and the two do not understand how they can be sent to participate in this kind of press conference, as an important media of the country.

After a few words, I arrived at the entrance of the small building, the total length of this street is only more than 100 meters, and you can see Fifth Avenue at a glance from the Madison Avenue entrance, of course, it is a few steps away.

Inside, they were ushered to the conference room on the third floor.

As soon as I entered, the room was not big, and there were a lot of people.

It was already full of people, a hundred people, and a lot of long guns and short cannons. are all familiar faces, and when something big happens, it's basically this group of people who go to interview and report, and they all meet at Baigong's press conference.

What the hell is this Shengshi Technology? Although the company is small, the scene is not small.

The two suppressed the doubts in their hearts, walked over to find a seat and sat down, and blended in with their peers.

Along the way, with the reporter's acumen, although David did not deliberately look at it, everything was in full view, and the decoration was ordinary and simple, but the decoration was good, there were a lot of green plants, and the growth was very good. The small number of staff members are all handsome men and women, but there are obviously more women than men, and only one male staff member is seen, and the other five are all women. The meeting room is also simple and bright, and it is refreshing to sit in it.

At 10 o'clock and two minutes, a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old walked in, the little girl was very beautiful, like a budding flower.

She wore the same uniform as the rest of the staff, and as soon as she entered the door, she smiled sweetly at everyone, and she was generous. The uniform is a white shirt and a dark green skirt, which fits well and the style is more mature, lining the little girl into a white-collar beauty mixed with childishness and maturity.

In the eyes of everyone, she staggered to the microphone of the rostrum and reached out to adjust the microphone.

Everyone thought that this little girl had come to check the microphone, but she actually spoke directly.

She said: "Hello everyone, I am Mei Mei, the spokesperson of Shengshi Technology, and welcome everyone to come to today's press conference! ”

The sound is touching and nice. Talking like a song, not an adjective for her, but a description of the facts. David was the first time he had heard a speaker speak so eloquently.

But what she said next was a big surprise.

She said: "I have been entrusted by the Board of Directors of Shengshi Technology Co., Ltd. to announce to the world the decisions of the Board of Directors of two Shengshi Technology Co., Ltd. 1. Our company decided to give 30% of the shares to all mankind. Second, our company proposes acquisitions to all non-state-owned companies, individual enterprises and partnerships in the following industries around the world, including the medical and health industry, the building materials industry, and the information industry......"

David listened to her read a long list of industry names, looked left and right, and there was an incredible expression, is this Shengshi Technology crazy? First it was a gift of shares, then it was an offer to acquire all the companies in the world in a given industry, and so many more industries. No company in the world has the strength to buy it.

There was hardly any industry she hadn't read and it was crazy, David shook his head, and asked so much to listen to their madman declaration.

The little girl on the stage, Meimei, finally finished reading the long list of industries, and when she finished reading, she wanted to add 'waiting for industries' at the end.

Her words later made many people laugh, and the Shengshi Technology she represented was a serious joke.

Because she said: "For all companies in the above industries, regardless of country, region, size, Shengshi Technology is willing to acquire 99% of its shares at a price of 1 meter yuan." ”

Not only did many people laugh, but some people made a noise.

David thought about it carefully, and today was definitely not April 1st. But what does it mean for this Shengshi Technology to let such a little girl make such a joke? But it's not necessarily a joke, as long as someone is willing to sell, I am willing to buy it, no matter how much it is worth, I can afford to buy it for a dollar.

The little girl on the stage, who called herself Meimei, said solemnly: "Please pay attention to the order of the venue and don't doubt the sincerity of our acquisition." ”

Someone shouted loudly: "Little girl, I will also pay a dollar to buy your prosperous world, okay?" ”

Someone laughed again.

Although David didn't laugh, he felt that their reaction was too normal, and this kind of foolish acquisition was a joke when it came out.

Mei Mei on the stage replied very seriously: "Of course it's not good, the value of our company far exceeds the price you offered." ”

A reporter said: "It turns out that you still know the difference between value and price, so you still dare to say that you can buy someone else's company for one dollar?" ”

Na Meimei still replied very seriously: "One dollar already represents our sincerity, we may have to bear the debts we have acquired and resettle people!" You buy an egg for a dollar You may be willing, but a dollar for you to buy a rotten egg, are you willing? We not only bought a rotten egg for a dollar, but also bought a bunch of trouble. So please don't misunderstand our kindness. ”

The reporters frowned, and everyone was defeated by her simple logic. She might as well just say that other companies are rotten eggs.

Mei Mei added: "We just proposed to buy, whether we are willing to accept it or not, they can decide for themselves." However, we have a time limit and because of limited manpower, we only accept applications within the time limit. If the current valuation is less than 1 million meters, if you do not apply on our website within 5 days to respond to our acquisition, we will no longer accept it. If it is less than 10 million, it must be applied within 10 days, if it is less than 100 million, it must be applied within 20 days, if it is less than 10 billion, it must be applied within one month, and if it is more than 10 billion, it can be appropriately relaxed. But the sooner it is accepted, the better it will be for the shareholders of the acquired company. Please be sure to explain this point when you report it. ”

Next, Meimei began to announce the website of Shengshi Technology dedicated to acquisition registration, and briefly talked about the requirements for filling out the form.

The more the reporters listened, the more they felt that Shengshi Technology was not joking, but talking about it very seriously, although from beginning to end there was only one little girl who seemed childish.

Everyone was a little speechless.

After the request was finished, Mei Mei asked, is there anything else she doesn't understand?

Someone asked why Shengshi would mention such an acquisition, and Mei Mei only replied briefly: "Advance placement of personnel." ”

Then he said: "If everyone understands, then there is another tip, from the day after tomorrow, Shengshi Technology will begin to release advertisements, and everyone may have to adapt to our advertisements in the future." Please be sure to include this reminder in your reports. ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, if you advertise, you will advertise, and you will publish a newspaper to remind you that you are going to publish an advertisement, what does this mean?

Mei Mei on the stage ignored everyone's astonishment: "This is the end of today's press conference, thank you for coming, there are small gifts we prepared when you go out, one per person, please take it yourself." ”

After speaking, he made a gesture of please, and walked away first.

Everyone saw that the little girl had gone out, and there was no one from Shengshi Technology.

Someone asked what kind of company Shengshi Technology is, obviously many of them are like David, and they are still confused after the press conference, and they don't know what Shengshi Technology is. It is also strange that in this prosperous era, the development conference did not even prepare a brochure to promote itself.

But speaking of which, the one who knows the most is the patent trolls, who are riddled with lawsuits.

Someone asked everyone's thoughts: "What the hell is this Shengshi Technology?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, some people kept echoing it, which was a common question for everyone.

As he spoke, he realized that everyone was temporarily assigned by his boss.

Some people said that whatever the hell it is, go back and hand over the manuscript to the boss. Get up and go out the door.

So many people left, David also went out with everyone, and walked to the staircase, there were a lot of small paper bags on a table, which seemed to be gifts, and none of the employees of Shengshi were there, it seemed that they wanted to love or not, and everything was arbitrary.

Everyone walked there and brought gifts.

David also took a bag and walked downstairs.
