Anne Hathaway-Morgan was a little surprised by Nacho Morgan's call. After all, it was Nacho Morgan who suggested that she study for an MBA. He said that in addition to cultivating some hobbies and social projects, she also had to have some professional abilities, otherwise she would at best be a "vase" with a good background!

For this reason, Anne Hathaway-Morgan's wish to travel had to come to an abrupt end and she had to passively come to a higher education institution for further studies. But after such a long time, she almost forgot about her lover Zhang Junfeng!

Fortunately, after being reminded by Nacho Morgan, Anne Hathaway-Morgan recalled the agreement she had reached with the other party before, and then promised the other party that she would follow the Morgan Investment Bank team to Asia to meet Zhang Junfeng as soon as possible after preparing in the next few days.

Of course, Anne Hathaway-Morgan, who was somewhat obsessed with money, also remembered the 50 million US dollars she had given to Zhang Junfeng for another investment, and hurried to confirm the situation with her adoptive father. When she learned that the profit had exceeded 130 million US dollars, Anne Hathaway-Morgan felt a little dizzy~!

Wow, in just over a year, she was going to earn 200 million dollars with Zhang Junfeng's investment?! Even in Hollywood, the hottest top stars may not be able to get such a high return, right?! She completely understood why her adoptive father was so friendly to Zhang Junfeng, a young Asian. He could bring them such a lucrative return, so he must be a "relative" from another father to another mother!

Even if Nacho Morgan didn't mention it, she would keep Zhang Junfeng, a man more attractive than Franklin (the one printed on the hundred-dollar bill), firmly in her hands and would never let him be taken away by other women~!

…

In the evening, after getting off work, Park Yeon-bok called Shin Dong-byung using an anonymous SIM card and told him everything that had happened in the Blue House conference room.

At the same time, Park Yeon-bo said in a rather tough tone, "I have already done what you asked me to do. If you use those things to threaten me again in the future, the worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed! Both Yuetian Group and your Xin family also have a lot of black material..."

Hearing Park Yeon-bok say this, Shin Dong-bing's laughter came from the phone, "Look at what Advisor Park said, we are 'good friends', right? We even drank and played with women together before! Why did we suddenly fall out? It's not that serious!"

Park Yeon-bo didn't buy it, and he retorted, "You asked me to cause some trouble for Comet Capital, but Zhang Junfeng hit back right in front of Mr. Da Zhong, showing no mercy! Who can guarantee that he won't cause trouble for me again later?!"

Hearing that Park Yeon-bo was somewhat afraid of Zhang Junfeng's power, Shin Dong-bing's expression turned cold, and he said in a somewhat gloomy tone, "You mean you are afraid that Comet Capital will cause trouble for you, but you are not afraid of Shin Dong-bing?! I tell you, if you still want to rise to the top, then you should be obedient and do things for me!"

"Still thinking of dying together? Do you have the strength to do that? Believe it or not, even if your whole family met with an accident or even disappeared from the face of the earth, no one would bother me!"

After hearing Xin Dongbing's cold words, I thought that as long as I was tough enough, Xin Dongbing might give up. I didn't expect that he wouldn't buy it at all and clearly wanted to control me! ...

Perhaps thinking that Park Yeon-bok had been silent because he was scared by him, Shin Dong-byeong softened his tone and continued, "There is an old saying in Longguo that 'a man who knows the current situation is a hero'. No matter how high Mr. Dae-jong's status is, he only has two years left in his term! Has Advisor Park never thought about seeking a better position when the election comes?"

"...Are you willing to help me?" Park Yeon-bo, who had originally been thinking about resisting the other party and gaining his freedom, began to waver when he heard Shin Dong-byung suddenly mention this matter.

As a man of common origin, after experiencing so many years of "social beatings", he knows too well the importance of connections and backers!

If there is no support from a "noble person", no matter you work in a company or enter the officialdom, you may still be at the bottom even if you work diligently all your life, and you will never be able to make a breakthrough in your life.

As a graduate of a prestigious university in Korea, he considered himself to be very capable, so how could he be content with being ordinary? The reason why he met Shin Dong-byeong and even fell into his trap was because he wanted to curry favor with more big shots to seek advancement in his work!

…

"As long as you help me according to my requirements, I will definitely help you achieve your wish in return! Your higher position will also be good for me, right?"

Shin Dong-byung's words were extremely tempting to Park Yeon-bo, who was eager for progress. Having already boarded the anti-theft ship, he saw that there was still a chance to achieve his goal, so he gave up resistance and chose to continue to go along with the other party.

…

After hanging up the phone, Xin Dongbing snorted coldly, "Do you really think you are a gentleman? You still dare to negotiate with me? After I have squeezed out your value, I will have someone expose those materials and personally send you off!"

Thinking of the Jeju Island tourism project that the other party had just revealed, Shin Dong-byung suddenly became interested.

Since Zhang Junfeng could come up with such an investment project, it should be profitable. If I could intercept this plan, wouldn't it be a great disgrace to Zhang Junfeng?

Thinking of this, Shin Dong-byung called his subordinates and asked them to find people who were familiar with the situation in Jeju Island and investment analysts within the group.

Although the subordinates did not understand what Xin Dongbing intended to do, they still agreed out of fear due to the other party's past tyranny.

——————Dividing line——————

In the capital of Dragon Kingdom, in a somewhat dilapidated old house near Zhongguancun.

Li Yanhong looked at his dejected subordinates and his face was quite ugly. Before opening the company, he had done the most detailed and scientific research, but the company was hit by the Internet crisis less than three months after opening.

The stock prices of those American Internet technology companies have been plummeting wildly, and have been falling for nearly 10 months with no sign of stopping. The Internet technology companies that were once highly sought after and could easily attract investment have become hot potatoes that everyone is afraid to avoid.

Now, Qiandu, which was established almost a year ago, is facing a serious financial crisis, and the development of its search engine has come to a standstill. If it does not receive a large amount of new funds in a short period of time, it is likely that the company will go bankrupt in less than two months! And Li Yanhong, the proud son of the Silicon Valley who came back to start a business, will become a "laughing stock" and the object of others' jokes.

"...Manager Liu, what were the results of the banks you contacted these days? Are they willing to provide us with loans?" Li Yanhong, unwilling to give up, placed his last hope on the financial manager Liu Licheng, who went to contact the banks to seek opportunities.

Liu Licheng, who was called out for questioning, had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer with embarrassment, "It's worse than we expected! As soon as the bank managers heard that we were an Internet company, they immediately rejected our loan application."

"A relatively patient bank manager said that today's Internet companies are a bottomless pit of money-losing. They will never lend money to unprofitable companies..."

Hearing Liu Licheng's heartbreaking truth, Li Yanhong felt like he was about to break down! Now he had lost all hope of applying for a loan from the bank. He couldn't think of any other way to get through this difficult time! ...

"...Mr. Li, maybe we can try to ask for help from other Internet companies. I heard from my old classmates that Kingsoft Software Company in the capital and Penguin Company in Pengcheng are both profitable. If we ask them for help, we may have a chance to turn things around..."

Seeing the young girl who had just been hired into the Human Resources Department suddenly come up with an idea that was beyond everyone's expectations, Li Yanhong and others were stunned, and looked embarrassed.

You should know that although seeking help from peers may help you get out of trouble, it is tantamount to slapping yourself in the face and completely destroying the reputation of your company.

Even if we can get through this difficult time, how can we stand out among our peers in the future? Those guys might say that our company encountered some problems before and survived with the help of another company. Then, we won't be able to be firm in our attitude when doing business in the future!

…

It seemed that after seeing the unhappy expressions of the others, the little girl realized that she might have said something wrong and apologized repeatedly.

Seeing this, Li Yanhong waved his hand and didn't argue with the other party too much. After all, the company has reached this point, and being able to help come up with a solution is already thoughtful.

…

After the discussion, Li Yanhong returned to his office and couldn't help but recall the proposal that the little girl had mentioned before, which was not favored by everyone.

Li Yanhong, who could no longer think of any other solution but was unwilling to sit and wait for death, finally decided to risk his reputation and give it a try, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope. After all, he had given up his good job and generous treatment in the United States in order to create a career in the Internet industry in Longguo.

Now faced with the dilemma of "running out of budget halfway through the business", he can either find ways to save the business at all costs, or everything will be ruined and he, as the founder of the company, will have to work like a slave for a few years to save up funds and then try to make a comeback.

But no one knows what the situation will be like in a few years. After all, different tracks will always emerge in different time periods. If you want to accurately grasp the next trend, it is no less difficult than starting from scratch.

…

Having made up his mind, Li Yanhong quickly called his subordinates and asked them to contact Kingsoft Software Company to see if they could make an appointment. He wanted to visit them in person.

The subordinates were somewhat surprised by this sudden instruction. Did their boss intend to ask other colleagues for help? But when everyone discussed it before, didn’t they all think that asking colleagues for help was too embarrassing?

As if he had seen through the little tricks in his subordinate's mind, Li Yanhong immediately said that he was the person in charge of the company and had to consider not only the future of the company, but also all the employees. If he could exchange his face for a glimmer of hope, he, Li Yanhong, was willing to sacrifice this person!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Hearing what Li Yanhong said, the young subordinate was immediately excited and almost cried because of the other party's righteous words. He didn't expect that his boss was so responsible and chose to sacrifice himself for the company and everyone! Noticing that the subordinate's eyes were a little red when he left, Li Yanhong twitched his mouth. He just wanted to find a reasonable reason to give himself some way out. Why did this guy act so excited? Did I say those words a little too much? "...Forget it, next time, I'd better be more subtle about this kind of chicken soup so that these guys won't really take it seriously..." Li Yanhong said in a low voice.

…

Thanks to the financial support from Comet Capital and the fact that they are not in a hurry to go public, Kingsoft Software Company and Penguin Technology are currently operating well and have not been greatly negatively affected by the bad news of the global Internet industry crisis.

Especially after Kingsoft Software Company played the trump card of "free anti-virus software", it can be said that "anyone who stands in the way will be killed", and even the former industry leaders such as Rising, Jiangmin and other old anti-virus software companies have been defeated, with their market share and revenue performance declining again and again, and they are simply unable to compete with Kingsoft Antivirus.

Although Wang Xin, general manager of Rising Antivirus Software Company, has denounced Kingsoft Software Company's shameless behavior in public and in front of many media, Kingsoft Software Company has not made any response at all.

On the contrary, those users and companies who saved a lot of money by using the free Kingsoft Antivirus tacitly stood on the side of Kingsoft Software Company, supporting Kingsoft Software on the Internet and even calling Kingsoft Software Company a "conscientious enterprise"! ...

In the meeting room of an office building in the HD district of the Imperial Capital.

Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun both smiled brightly as they listened to the year-end work reports of various departments of the company. Before this, they had also questioned the proposal of the major shareholder Zhang Junfeng. After all, what is the difference between providing free download and installation of the anti-virus software that they had worked hard to develop and throwing meat buns at dogs? Now with the ever-expanding market share and rising revenue, it has to be said that the routine of free anti-virus software is really attractive~!

As for those antivirus software companies that are jumping up and down and cursing, although they are filled with righteous indignation, facing the current unfavorable situation, it is of no use at all. After all, free products are too cost-effective. Even if their Kingsoft Antivirus software has these or those flaws, users are very tolerant of it.

After all, the developers provide it for free and don't make a dime from antivirus software, so what else can they find fault with? They spend hundreds of dollars a year on antivirus software, and the performance doesn't seem to be much better~!

…

The meeting ended smoothly in a joyful atmosphere. At the end of the meeting, Lei Jun took the initiative to propose organizing a company dinner tonight, and hoped that everyone would actively participate.

Hearing that their leader was so supportive, the heads of many departments present were immediately delighted and agreed one after another.

Just as everyone was leaving and Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun were about to return to the office, an office clerk came over and said, "Mr. Qiu, I just received a call from someone claiming to be from Qiandu Company. They said that their general manager, Li Yanhong, wants to visit you two to discuss the future development of the Internet company."

"Li Yanhong from Qiandu Company? Lao Lei, do you know him? Could he be your netizen?" Qiu Bojun thought about it, but there was no memory related to him.

"Why do you push everything onto me? You visit forums quite often, so how come I wouldn't be your netizen?" Lei Jun said speechlessly. Although the company's business has expanded a lot in the past two years, the two of them would still log in to the previous forums from time to time to post and leave messages, share their experiences with many like-minded netizens, and discuss some current affairs related to the Internet industry.

However, after the Internet industry collapsed this year, the forum was filled with gloom, and many people chose to be pessimistic about Internet technology companies, believing that after this incident, it would be difficult for the Internet industry to get back on its feet.

Although Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun disagreed with this view, they did not argue with those netizens who were pessimistic about the Internet industry. After all, as technical experts, they did not have much time to waste on arguing with others.

"...Why don't we meet him? Since he was able to set up a company, he must have some ability. Let's see if he has any good suggestions or ideas. Maybe it will be a good inspiration for us." Lei Jun finally felt that he could meet Li Yanhong who came to him on his own initiative.

Seeing Lei Jun say this, Qiu Bojun nodded and reluctantly agreed. At the same time, he asked his subordinates to arrange for them to take some time out tomorrow afternoon to meet Li Yanhong.

…

When Qiandu received a call from Kingsoft Software and learned that the other party was willing to meet, Li Yanhong showed a long-lost smile on his face. Then he quickly ordered his subordinates to help collect as much relevant information as possible about Kingsoft Software. He wanted to do some homework in advance, so that he would not be at a loss as to what to talk about when they met tomorrow.

…

Thousands of miles away in Lin'an City, at the office area of ​​Alibaba, Ma Yun, the company's founder, was feeling very complicated at the moment.

As Alibaba's benchmark company, the continued plunge in Amazon's stock price in the United States undoubtedly gave Ma Yun a great shock.

In particular, some time ago, it was revealed that the funds available in Amazon's accounts could not even support the company for another three months. The company's president, Bezos, frequently met with and lobbied major investment institutions and banks to try to obtain large loans for turnover.

This situation also made Ma Yun gradually realize that it was obviously impractical to continue to copy Amazon's operating methods. However, their team did not have any original ideas in the field of e-commerce. Even though they had a lot of "brainstorming" in recent months, they did not discuss any new and feasible development ideas.

Ma Yun was getting confused and finally thought of Zhang Junfeng, the major shareholder who was far away in Korea! Maybe he could provide him with some reliable advice. (End of this chapter)
