Ding Sanshi nodded.
"Sister Xin, I still need your help with this matter. NetEase needs to appeal again."
Xu Xin smiled: "No problem, it's not difficult for NetEase to resume its listing as long as it re-uploads the correct reports. But have you found a scapegoat yet?"
"Li Jinghui has agreed to take all the blame, Brother Ma, please help him promote it."
Little Ma nodded: "No problem, I understand what you mean. I'll definitely clean it for you."
Shifting blame is an art; how and how skillfully to do it requires finesse. What Ding Sanshi needs now is to clear his name. Tencent, with its strong influence in the industry, can help with a few rounds of publicity, naturally clearing Ding Sanshi's name. The real culprit will be Li Jinghui, and Ding Sanshi will be innocent. They can then hire some copywriters to artistically embellish the story, making it more vivid and portraying Ding Sanshi as innocent, framed by a villain, and depicting him as a hard-working, resilient individual who eventually regains power. This will garner sympathy, and when NetEase resumes stock trading, there will definitely be retail investors willing to support him.
Ding Pangzi gathered the employees of NetEase and began his speech.
"Brothers and sisters, Li Jinghui has now admitted his mistakes. I was forced to leave the company by villains. For the past year, I have endured hardship and lived a life of debauchery in order to deceive Li Jinghui and make him lower his guard. Now that the bad guys have been brought to justice, I will lead everyone back to the top. Please believe me and believe in NetEase..." He went on and on with a bunch of brainwashing words.
Ding Pangzi spoke with such passion that he stirred up the atmosphere, and everyone supported him, saying they wanted to follow him and risk their lives for him.
Little Ma curled his lip: "We're not in the same league."
Jiang Zhidong nodded: "To be honest, Brother Ma is even more skilled at fooling people. Fatty Ding can't make empty promises, but Brother Ma's skill in making empty promises is superb. If you don't know him, 99% of naive people will be fooled by Brother Ma."
Shen Fang... He's now realizing that all the bigwigs in tech companies have the potential to become pyramid scheme leaders.
"Next, let's invite Mr. Shen, a new shareholder of NetEase, to say a few words."
Shen Fang walked sternly to the employees and smiled at them.
"Hello everyone, I'm Shen Fang. It's my first time meeting you all, and I'm not sure what to say. Mr. Ding's speech was excellent and very helpful. I believe that under his leadership, NetEase will get back on track. Here, I want to assure you that NetEase will never again delay salary payments. Year-end bonuses will increase annually, and salaries will gradually increase based on your seniority. We'll provide you with the five social insurances and one housing fund. NetEase's logistics will gradually improve. Everyone, work hard under Mr. Ding's guidance; if you don't earn enough, I'll cover it. In short, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!!!"
Fatty Ding was the first to applaud and cheer.
"You may not know the caliber of our new board members. Don't let Chairman Shen's youth fool you. Let me tell you this: do you see Pony Ma behind me? He's the CEO of Tencent. Our Chairman Shen is Tencent's chief strategist and also a major shareholder. From now on, NetEase and Tencent will be one family. Tencent will take care of our good brother NetEase and work together to grow bigger and stronger and create a brilliant future."
The employees below the stage looked at Shen Fang with great surprise. They couldn't understand how Shen Fang, who looked like a young master, could be a major shareholder of the currently popular Tencent, and even play the role of a strategist. With Tencent's support, it wouldn't be difficult for NetEase to achieve new heights; everyone understands the principle of "it's good to have a big tree to lean on." It seems that President Ding has found a powerful backer.
"Then I have some good news to announce: from today until the middle of next year, everyone's salary will be doubled. This is my way of compensating you all. I hope you can cheer up, get back on your feet, work hard, and revitalize the atmosphere of the NetEase family. Do you all have confidence?"
"Whoever provides the money is our mother." People come out to work to earn some money, so when they heard that their wages would double, the employees' enthusiasm was mobilized.
"have!!!!"
The audience erupted in cheers; that's the allure of money.
Ding Pangzi will definitely conduct another purge in the company afterward. Screening and layoffs are inevitable. Someone as petty as him will definitely get rid of the people who stabbed him in the back. However, he can't rush back to his position now. He needs some time to consolidate his position and win people's hearts.
At noon, Fatty Ding hosted a banquet at Zhuangyuanlou Restaurant. During the meal, Fatty Ding toasted and drank, speaking frankly and sincerely, appearing extremely grateful. This completely fooled Shen Kun and Jiang Zhidong, making them believe that Fatty Ding was an honest man.
But when it came time to pay the bill, Fatty Ding brazenly said he had no money.
Ma was speechless: "How the hell did you end up so miserable? Wait a minute, didn't my brother give you 200,000 yuan when he left so you could have some fun? And you've already squandered it all in just one week?"
Fatty Ding chuckled: "I did have some, but this morning Boss Shen called me, and in my excitement I gave the last ten thousand yuan to a girl who served me."
Shen Fang is ridiculous. Back in 2002, with just over ten thousand yuan, you could easily get ten high-quality girls to sleep with you! You really don't care about spending my money?!
Shen Fang reluctantly paid the bill.
Fatty Ding suggested going for a foot massage so they could have some fun.
"You're broke, aren't you?"
Fatty Ding put his arm around Little Ma's arm.
"You've struck it rich, bro? I'm a bit broke now. How about I treat you to a big meal this time? NetEase will be Tencent's little brother from now on. Isn't it the big brother's job to take care of his little brother? The girls at that place I went to were really good quality. They were beautiful, had sweet voices, and provided good service. Little Ma, take me with you."
