Chapter 253: Unbearable pain! Storm!
Wu Lingxi just left like that and disappeared in front of everyone.
Masayoshi Son of SoftBank Group and Jerry Yang of Yahoo Group watched this scene with grim faces.
Even Blizzard Vice President Allen had a very solemn expression on his face.
Many senior executives and shareholders of Renren Group were in great grief.
The four people, major shareholder Miyazaki, Sohu's Mr. Zhang Chaoyang, IDG China President Mr. Xiong, and Blizzard's Allen, sat at the same table.
Miyazaki almost instinctively wanted to pick up the champagne because his mouth was really dry.
However, his hands were shaking and he couldn't stop them.
It was also accompanied by bouts of dizziness, and I just felt cold all over, but I didn't have time to think about the specific consequences.
Yang Zhiyuan slammed his wine glass on the table and was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Son Masayoshi.
Miyazaki trembled slightly and said, "Mr. Allen, Mr. Zhang Chaoyang, we can stabilize the situation, we can stabilize it..."
Finally, Zhang Chaoyang asked, "You pushed her to this day, have you never thought about her character?"
Miyazaki: "She, she didn't react that violently the last time her power was taken away. The point is... the point is..."
For a moment, he couldn't explain it.
If we say how embarrassed Miyazaki is at this moment, then... Liao Feng is ten times, a hundred times more embarrassed!
He still stood on the stage.
Countless eyes were still staring at him, but just now it was a brilliant and glorious moment.
And now...
It's like a thousand arrows piercing your heart.
but……
For a long time before the beginning, he was even numb and had no feelings.
This was because this round of critical strikes was so fierce that it directly made people mentally confused.
The brain immediately activated a defense mechanism, so the pain was not obvious. I just felt that this world was very far away and many sounds were coming from outside the clouds.
but……
After this numbness passes.
The first thing that comes to mind is shame, endless shame.
This was no longer just a slap in the face, but rather stripping Liao Feng completely naked and parading him through the streets over and over again.
It was almost like skinning and cramping.
He was not even thirty years old, and had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
Countless gazes, full of sarcasm and malice.
It was as if he was going to be pierced with holes! Wu Lingxi's words just now were like lightning, madly striking his body and directly splitting him into charcoal.
Everything about him became a joke.
A complete joke.
His enviable love and his so-called success have all become a laughing stock.
Originally, a strategic signing ceremony was to be held next.
This was supposed to be his finest moment.
And now, falling directly from heaven to hell.
"Bang……"
Suddenly there was a loud noise.
Fireworks exploded on the stage.
Countless colorful strips fell from the sky.
Moreover, festive and magnificent music filled the entire banquet hall.
This was originally intended to celebrate his successful proposal and the establishment of the meta group.
And now...
These fireworks, these colored ribbons, and this music seem so funny.
Liao Feng took the microphone and finally said: "This world is really crazy, isn't it?"
Then, Masayoshi Son stood up, buttoned his suit, nodded slightly to Zhang Chaoyang, Allen and others at the next table, then turned around and left with a serious face.
Yang Zhiyuan also left.
The team brought by the two men, more than twenty people, also left.
Soon after, other bigwigs present also left.
"Let's go..." Lin Xiao said.
Xia Xi, Gao Changhe and Li Shuang also stood up and walked outside.
Miyazaki's gaze even followed Lin Xiao and Xia Xi as they left.
It’s not about hatred, but a kind of unwillingness.
Because the first person to come into contact with Lin Xiao and Xia Xi was actually Miyazaki, but he did not vote for them several times and instead stood on the opposite side.
As a result, when he was closest to success, he fell completely into the abyss.
About a quarter of an hour later, everyone in the venue had left.
All the people from Renren Group got into the car silently and returned to the company.
Not only all senior executives, but also all shareholders must return to Renren Group for a meeting.
………………
After returning to the company! All shareholders, including Allen, the vice president of Blizzard Group, were in the conference room.
Liao Feng went to his private room alone.
He received one call, and another.
It swept in like a violent storm.
From his father, his mother, his brother, and those above him in the system.
The calls came one after another.
Some people cursed loudly, but most people spoke in a very cold tone.
"Hold the situation steady!"
"Hold the situation steady!"
"Hold the situation steady!"
"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
And his father and his brother both said the same thing.
"We need to settle accounts!"
"We must take revenge, otherwise no one will be afraid of us in the future."
………………
Back to the desk.
"I just want to ask, why do you push her to this extent?"
"Why?" Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you anticipate her going crazy?"
"Are you so impatient to pick the fruit?"
The representative of Yingke Digital said in a cold voice: "Boss Liao, I just want to ask you one thing. Have you discussed with her about establishing the META Group and making her the global president, a promotion in name only but a demotion in reality?"
IDG CEO Xiong said coldly: "They are really good at internal fighting, but not good at external fighting."
Blizzard Vice President Allen: "I just want to ask one thing, can you still operate World of Warcraft?"
Almost all the accusations were directed at Liao Feng.
Almost in an instant, he was criticized by thousands of people.
Liao Feng's face was icy as he said slowly, "Do you have any other accusations? Feel free to vent and scold as much as you want."
"Next, I will turn off the microphone and let you guys scold me."
"But when you're done cursing, let me know and I'll turn on the microphone again."
Then he simply turned off the microphone and closed his eyes.
The whole audience was silent.
Because such a big accident happened, someone has to be held responsible.
About three minutes later, Liao Feng said slowly: "Stop scolding? Then I'll start talking."
"First of all, I want to ask you, fellow shareholders, when Wu Lingxi's power was seized, didn't you have a share?"
"Even in the end, I agreed to accept Yang Zhiyuan's extremely low offer and kicked Wu Lingxi out of Renren Group, letting her continue to work as a slave in an overseas group. Didn't you agree? Was it my decision alone?"
"Of course, it doesn't matter. If you don't want me to take on this responsibility, I'll resign and we can choose someone else who's more capable!"
The whole place remained silent.
Shit, now the position of chairman of Renren Group is a landmine.
Who dares to go up? Liao Feng: "Since no one is going up, then I will continue to do it?"
"First of all, such a big thing happened, what should we do next?"
"Forget about investing in SoftBank and Yahoo! The key is how to keep the plate and minimize the losses."
"Chen Yizhou, stabilize Renren.com, is there any problem?"
Chen Yizhou: "Renren was previously run by Wu Lingxi, I...I..."
Liao Feng: “Any questions?”
Chen Yizhou: "I'll try my best."
Liao Feng: "I will continue to manage Renren Video and Renren Games."
“Perfect World will transform into a prop-based game as soon as possible, declare it completely free, and try to maintain a high number of online users.”
"In addition, the internal testing of World of Warcraft must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. We must buy the servers that need to be purchased, and we must carry out the publicity that needs to be carried out."
"In the short term, it is impossible for us to get investment. The only way for us to maintain our valuation and investment is to rely on Renren Games, Perfect World and World of Warcraft."
“So, everyone has to pay more!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience changed color.
More money? We have already invested more than 2 billion. With the investment from Softbank and Yahoo Group, everyone’s wealth has at least doubled, and we can get a certain degree of cash.
Now, all these are gone, and you still want to pay more?
Liao Feng: "If we don't add money, all the previous investment will be lost. Perfect World has already been successful, and World of Warcraft will most likely be successful as well."
"Since we can't get investment, we should just make money honestly. There is still room for recovery."
"If we don't add money and let the situation deteriorate, all the previous investments will go down the drain."
"According to my preliminary estimate, it will probably cost around 300 to 400 million."
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.
Everyone looked at Liao Feng, and then at Blizzard's vice president Allen.
Damn! In order to package Renren Group, they and 9City bid desperately for the exclusive operating rights of World of Warcraft.
After getting it, I can really tell a story and it’s really fun.
And now...it's time to pay back.
Blizzard opened its mouth wide. The total cost of acquiring "World of Warcraft" would be tens of millions of dollars, close to $100 million.
And only half has been paid before, and there is still half to go.
Only half of the servers have been purchased, Chinese localization and dubbing are in progress, and the game needs to be modified to a certain extent, as well as publicity costs, etc.
Originally, we wanted to rely on investments from SoftBank and Yahoo Group to do this, and we had at least $300 million in cash.
Now that the investment has gone down the drain, everyone has to pay out of their own pockets.
Liao Feng: "Of course, you guys take your time to discuss this matter, and give me the results within a few days."
"There is also a crucial second topic!"
"revenge!"
"Wu Lingxi's move destroyed billions of our wealth."
"If we don't retaliate, we'll become a complete joke."
Everyone was stunned. Was this kind of thing discussed in a board meeting?
But... at this point, there is no doubt that all shareholders present share the same hatred for the enemy.
Revenge must be taken.
Wu Lingxi's action resulted in direct losses of billions and even more indirect losses.
It can even be said that it destroyed a huge business group in the future.
"Of course, even if you don't retaliate, my family will definitely retaliate." Liao Feng said slowly: "But on this point, I hope to get everyone's help."
"Corruption, embezzlement of company funds, etc..."
"Everyone try to find it, and make sure you find a crime that's big enough."
"Besides, she is probably mentally ill. As colleagues for such a long time, I believe everyone can see that."
"So, we need detailed evidence and a confirmed report."
"She's mentally ill!"
Everyone's thoughts immediately became clear.
Yes, Wu Lingxi is mentally ill, which can minimize everyone’s losses.
There is no problem with our Renren Group. We are still excellent and strong. All the public statements made by Wu Lingxi are false because she is mentally ill and she is talking nonsense.
But for Liao Feng, that’s not all he wants.
Not only did he want Wu Lingxi to bear a large number of charges, but he also wanted to send her to a mental hospital, where she would be thoroughly tortured.
Even if you are not really mentally ill, you will become a mentally ill person.
Revenge, revenge must be thorough.
Make her wish to live but cannot, wish to die but cannot!
……………………
After the meeting, I returned to my office.
Liao Feng called Wu Lingxi's parents.
"If Wu Lingxi escapes to Hong Kong, to your home, you must hand her over."
"And, if necessary, you will be required to sign to prove that she is mentally ill and send her to a mental hospital for treatment."
"In this way, our two families will not completely fall out, and the cooperation that has already taken place may be able to continue. We will not retaliate against your family, and we can even save some of Wu Lingxi's shares and wealth in Renren Group for your family."
"If you don't agree, then we will completely break off relations."
After a long while, a voice came from the other side: "I know."
Put down the phone.
Only then did Liao Feng collapse to the ground.
Several hours had passed, and only now was the pain coming back with an endless intensity.
“Ah…ah…ah…ah…ah…”
He let out a series of roars.
But this is no longer just an angry roar, it also contains pain and desolation.
………………
However, this pain was only the beginning.
The next day! Countless websites, newspapers, and TV stations.
Crazy coverage.
The relevant pictures have been reposted countless times.
Time and time again, Liao Feng's face was put on the ground and trampled on.
Countless people ate melons.
Not only domestic netizens, but this matter has also spread directly overseas.
It was really addictive.
Awesome!
There is actually such a huge melon?
This play is really enjoyable to watch.
Especially the video where Liao Feng knelt down to propose and was rejected by Wu Lingxi, which was spread everywhere.
"I don't love you!"
"I don't love you!"
This sentence was directly subtitled and quickly spread throughout the entire Internet.
It even became an emoticon.
It has directly become synonymous with tragic man.
And this emoticon package is destined to transcend space and time and last for many years.
This is an emoji worth billions.
From now on, Liao Feng's face will be remembered by countless people.
In fact, you don’t even need to say “I don’t love you” anymore.
Liao Feng's face represents everything.
At this time, he hated the emergence of video websites. If there were no video websites, these most shameful videos would not have spread wildly.
This video has been deleted countless times on Renren Video.
On YouTube, this video has been played more than 10 million times.
It was really like being whipped repeatedly.
And Li Duanduan even edited a text message: I don’t love you!
Prepare to send it to Liao Feng and launch a new round of critical strike on him.
As a result, she was stopped by other sisters.
You vixen, now is a critical moment, don't bring trouble upon yourself.
Li Duanduan said, if I do this, maybe he will be happy.
The "he" here refers to Lin Xiao.
Suddenly, Jiang Lier felt deeply that once a woman no longer loves, she is truly heartless.
Liao Feng suffered such a tragic fate, but Li Duanduan not only had no sympathy, but even gloated over it and even stepped on it.
"Slutty fox, don't do anything rash now. Liao Feng's family and the capital group behind him are still very scary. They are about to vent their rage. If you do this, you might bring trouble to the Lightning Group." Jiang Li'er said, "Don't just think about seducing men all day long. Use your brain too."
……………………
After Wu Lingxi finished all this, she immediately went to a house.
Then he drank a bottle of whiskey and fell into a deep sleep.
Moreover, he unplugged the telephone line, turned off his cell phone, and cut off all external contacts.
And her family was almost completely crazy.
It was not just phone calls that were desperately trying to contact her. Even her brother, her aunt, her mother, and her uncle came directly from Hong Kong to Shanghai to look for her.
When she woke up, there was a group of people standing around her.
"Change your clothes and follow me to the Liao family to apologize!" Aunt Wu Lingxi said coldly.
Wu Lingxi patted his hungover head and said slowly, "Is it too late to apologize now?"
Wu Lingxi's mother said: "Of course it's too late for you, but for our family, it's still the last remedy."
Wu Lingxi: "Mother, do you mean to sacrifice me in exchange for the Liao family and those capital groups' forgiveness of my family?"
Her words were full of sarcasm.
Wu Lingxi's mother: "You asked for this."
Aunt Wu Lingxi stepped forward, patted her head gently, and said softly: "Be humble first, admit your mistakes first, and try to recover the losses you have caused. We will talk about the future later. You can still be a rich wife."
Wu Lingxi: "According to Liao Feng's personality, he is probably thinking about how to torture me crazily and take revenge on me."
Uncle Wu Lingxi said coldly: "You asked for it. You are crazy. Don't drag the family into this."
Wu Lingxi said slowly: "I won't go."
Uncle Wu Lingxi: "Then it's not up to you."
"Go ahead, take her to take a shower, change her clothes, and then take her to the Liao family to make amends."
Suddenly, several women came forward and tried to grab Wu Lingxi from the bed.
"Sorry..." Xia Xi's voice came from the side.
"I want to take her away."
Xia Xi didn't even look at the woman because she couldn't help but feel the hatred in her heart.
Then, a dozen strong men entered the house.
Wu Lingxi's mother looked at Xia Xi and said, "I advise you not to bring trouble upon yourself. Your Lightning Group cannot afford it."
"Let's go..." Xia Xi picked up the coat and put it on Wu Lingxi.
Without saying a word, under the protection of a dozen strong men, he left the house and took her directly back to the Lightning Group.
……………………
Liao Feng found Lin Xiao directly.
"Hand over Wu Lingxi. She is involved in a massive corruption case at Renren Group. We are going to sue her."
"She is mentally ill. We have a diagnosis report and a letter of consent from her family. We need to send her for treatment."
Liao Feng's tone was almost calm.
Lin Xiao: “No way.”
Liao Feng looked at Lin Xiao and said slowly: "I don't know how you did it, but I know that you are the chief director of this drama."
“Because you are the biggest beneficiary.”
"But don't worry, what we have to do now is to capture Wu Lingxi and minimize the losses, and try to preserve the existing assets of Renren Group."
"So, we have no intention of engaging in a full-scale confrontation with you."
"Perhaps we will retaliate against you in the future, but... that will have to wait until we recover from this."
"So hand over Wu Lingxi, and we will live in peace for a long time."
"But if you don't hand over Wu Lingxi, you will have to bear all our anger."
"It's not just my family, but all the shareholders behind Renren Group. I don't think you can afford it."
Lin Xiao: “Impossible.”
Liao Feng looked at Lin Xiao in astonishment: "She has already gone crazy. To you, her mission has been completed and she is no longer valuable."
Lin Xiao: “Impossible.”
Liao Feng stared at Lin Xiao for a long time, then slowly said, "Her family has already given up on her. Are you sure you want to take over?"
Lin Xiao: "I express my deep sympathy for the changes in your Renren Group, and the whole thing has nothing to do with us. This is your internal affair, an internal split."
"But, because Wu Lingxi is Xia Xi's biological sister, from this perspective, we must protect her."
"That's all, Mr. Liao, don't think too much about it."
Liao Feng stood up and said, "Lin Xiao, you are crazy."
"Since you are willing to take the lead, then bear our wrath!"
Lin Xiao: "Boss Liao, I think what you said just now is very correct. The most urgent task is to protect the existing assets of Renren Group and not let billions of investments go down the drain. Is revenge really that important? When will the cycle of revenge end?"
Fuck!
This sentence is so vicious.
Liao Feng stared at Lin Xiao for a full minute, then turned and left.
Lin Xiao: "Boss Liao, this is the Magic City, not the capital."
Liao Feng's face twitched.
………………
Lin Xiao is right, this is the Demon City.
Once Wu Lingxi enters the Lightning Group, there will be no way to capture her by any violent means.
Neither the public security, procuratorate, courts, nor the mental hospital can do anything about it.
Because to some extent, Modu is more like the home of Lightning Group rather than Renren Group.
However, civil servants from the capital have already come to the Lightning Group.
The meaning is very clear. There are several cases that require Wu Lingxi to be taken away for investigation.
but……
As a private enterprise, Lin Xiao and Xia Xi would definitely not come forward to support it.
We will be received and negotiated by relevant personnel from Shanghai.
Almost the next day, Lian Zheng came to Lightning Group again.
"Are you sure you want to save her?" Lian Zheng asked.
Lin Xiao said: "That's right."
Lian Zheng: "The pressure will be huge. The interests she destroyed are too great."
Lin Xiao said: "The cards in my hand are still quite sufficient."
Lian Zhengdao said, "How far do you want to protect her? Do you want to keep her safe, or do you want to use her in the future?"
Lin Xiao: "I want her to be in charge of Facebook overseas."
Lian Zheng: "In the current situation, you still want her to take charge of Facebook overseas? This... this is very difficult. It requires a very strong force to endorse her and to endorse you."
Lin Xiao: "I'm going to do this next."
Lian Zheng lowered his head for a long time, then said: "Okay, then I will take the political route, and you take the capital route. Only by combining the two lines can we win this battle."
Lin Xiao suddenly asked: "Uncle Lian, he appreciates you very much, right?"
Lian Zheng smiled and said, "It's not that I appreciate it, but I have some resonance and we both love literature."
"Okay, stop gossiping."
"I'm leaving, you should leave too!"
Lian Zheng stood up and was about to leave. He had only been sitting there for less than half an hour.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Uncle Lian."
Lian Zheng turned around and said, "Telling me this? I appreciate you doing this, even though it costs a lot and is stressful. But... if you do this, everyone will be happy and look up to you."
"How can a man be without responsibility?"
Lin Xiao rarely showed the attitude of a child at this time: "I, I'm just afraid of making mistakes."
Lian Zheng stopped immediately and looked at Lin Xiao: "Then let's finish this matter first."
"We'll talk about the future later."
"If you take responsibility for this matter, everyone will look up to you."
Lian Zheng repeated this sentence for the second time.
In this way, this sentence contains a lot of information.
Who are these people? After Lian Zheng left, Xia Xi came out and looked at Lian Zheng's departing back with admiration.
"Uncle Lian is really..." Xia Xi couldn't help but say, "Maybe everyone dreams of having a father like this."
Then she glared at Lin Xiao fiercely.
"Scumbag!"
Then, Xia Xi couldn't help but hug Lin Xiao.
"Thank you for being willing to pay a huge price to protect Wu Lingxi."
"The little boy has grown up day by day."
Lin Xiao smiled gently, then put on his coat and walked outside.
Xia Xi returned to her private room and looked at Wu Lingxi who was playing games inside.
"What level have you reached?" Xia Xi asked.
"I'm level 31 now." Wu Lingxi said, "Now I finally have time to play games. You guys made a really good game."
Xia Xi: "Help me get my equipment ready, but don't lead me astray in my career."
Wu Lingxi: "Then it's not up to you."
Then, Wu Lingxi continued to operate the mouse to play the game.
After a long while, she suddenly said, "If you hand me over when you have no other choice, I won't blame you. My family didn't even want to put up a bit of resistance and just gave up on me. I'm already very grateful that you can protect me."
Xia Xi: "To be honest, we hoped to see you backstab us, but... it was so crazy, we really didn't expect it."
Wu Lingxi: "So the trouble I caused was big enough. I can understand the pressure you are facing. The other party's assets combined are many times more than yours. Coupled with the powerful political and business system, the pressure to protect me will be very, very great."
Xia Xi: "We not only want to protect you, but also want you to become the president of Facebook Overseas."
Wu Lingxi was stunned and said in disbelief: "At this time, it is already extremely difficult to keep me from being arrested. Do you really want me to be in charge of Facebook overseas?"
Xia Xi: "Yes, this is what we have always planned."
Wu Lingxi looked at her for a long time and said, "Then I don't know whether to say that I am crazy or you are crazy."
"I've given you all my information. But to be honest, you might be able to deal a fatal blow to Liao Feng, but it will be difficult to save me."
Xia Xi: "The other party is furious now, but they are still showing some solidarity. Several big capital groups want to get rid of you as soon as possible."
"So, we have to win over other big capital groups to form an alliance, and at the same time, we have to continue to strike at Renren Group, hurting them thoroughly and causing them to collapse so that they forget about revenge against you."
Wu Lingxi: "Get a few capital groups to protect me? You will have to pay a heavy price."
Xia Xi: "These prices are already planned to be paid, so it's nothing."
……………………
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Masayoshi Son of SoftBank Group and Mr. Jerry Yang of Yahoo Group are leaving tonight and returning to the United States. They are leaving in anger!" Lin Xiao received a call.
Lin Xiao: “Got it.”
Then, he sent a text message to Lian Zheng: "Uncle Lian, Son Zhengyi and Yang Zhiyuan plan to leave in the evening."
Lian Zheng: "Got it. I will try my best to get them to stay and let them continue to ally with you."
Protect Wu Lingxi and deepen the fruits of victory.
There are two core figures that cannot be avoided, namely Masayoshi Son and Jason Yang.
These two people must forgive Wu Lingxi and continue to deepen their alliance with Lin Xiao. In this way, with the two major capital groups standing behind them, the capital group behind Liao Feng will be very wary.
First, hold on to the two big capital groups, SoftBank and Yahoo.
Then, he struck hard at the surplus value of Renren Group, gradually disintegrating the alliance between those capital groups and Liao Feng.
Completely isolate Liao Feng and finally defeat him.
Lin Xiao was sitting in the company car heading south to Hangzhou at this time, and had just finished a text message conversation with Lian Zheng.
Beep beep.
The phone rang again.
I opened it and saw a text message: I love you! It was from Lian Yi.
Lin Xiao understood the meaning of this immediately, because Lin Xiao was willing to take on enormous pressure to protect Wu Lingxi, which made Lian Yi admire him very much and gave him infinite support in her heart, so she sent this text message.
Lin Xiao replied: Me too! More than an hour later, Lin Xiao appeared at Alibaba headquarters.
Ali took his visit very seriously and the two bosses left the camp together.
"Boss Lin, what brings you here?"
"Your arrival really brings glory to Ali."
Next, after a brief exchange of greetings in the office, Lin Xiao stated his purpose.
"My first reason for coming here is to form a strategic alliance with Alibaba. We at Facebook are willing to fully integrate into your company's Alipay system."
As soon as these words came out, Alibaba’s two bosses were immediately ecstatic.
This is a super gift pack.
"The second thing is that I want to get SoftBank Group and Yahoo Group to make a huge investment in Alibaba."
Then, Ali’s two bosses were slightly stunned.
Lightning Group, together with SoftBank and Yahoo, invested in Alibaba? This sounds a little weird.
However, it also fills people with endless fantasies.
Of course, they are now hungry and desperate for investment and need huge amounts of money.
This is absolutely timely.
But more importantly, Lin Xiao’s statement is very important, which means that Lightning Group will not compete with Alibaba in the e-commerce field for a long time.
Because Dong Ge's group is still very small and is not considered a threat at all.
Once they are no longer competitors, Facebook, which has a huge number of users, and Lightning Group, which has huge literary and artistic resources, will be able to form a huge complement to Alibaba and will be a huge help.
As for Lin Xiao, he was making an alliance while taking the opportunity to make a fortune! …………………………
Note: Today it's a little early, tomorrow I'll try to be earlier. If you have monthly tickets, please give me some cakes, thank you so much!
