"What? Shut down?" Li Yanhong's expression changed.
Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Lin, hurry up and let General Manager Li take a look!"
Xiaolin took out his laptop and opened several of the most popular websites that he had saved, and all of them showed that they had been shut down.
"And this one, it was fine when I looked at it, but now it's gone, and our search can't find their music link either," Kobayashi said helplessly.
With the website shut down, the music links are naturally invalid.
"Why is that?" Li Yanhong asked coldly.
"There's only one possibility." Kobayashi sighed and said with a wry smile, "The higher-ups have intervened."
Li Yanhong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
This news was worse for him than being sued in court.
At this critical juncture, the closure of pirated music websites is worse than death for him!
It's important to know that all of his plans were made possible by music links from pirated websites.
Countless pirate websites offer free links, which Baidu then collects and organizes for customers to listen to and download for free.
The more pirated websites there are, the richer the music library becomes, and the more comprehensive the free music experience Baidu can provide.
But now the authorities have actually started taking action to crack down on pirated music websites!
With pirated websites gone, what will he rely on to attract customers?
Moreover, such a large-scale internet cleanup operation was carried out so quietly that he didn't even receive a whisper of it!
The worst part is, he also has to deal with being sued in court!
"Mr. Li, things aren't certain yet. Let's inquire further. Maybe it's just a coincidence," Xiao Wu comforted him.
Li Yanhong rubbed his forehead, about to ask something else, when someone knocked on the door again.
It's the public relations department.
"Mr. Li, the news of Baidu being sued has made headlines on major platforms!"
Li Yanhong's lips twitched: "...Damn!"
At this point, he knew perfectly well that he had been targeted and was being attacked from all sides to kill him!
"Shen Nansheng, I have no grudge against you, why are you messing with me?! I'll fuck your grandma!"
…
"Achoo!"
Shen Nansheng sneezed and cursed, "Which bastard is talking about me behind my back! I've been sneezing non-stop for the past two days!"
They were on a plane bound for Beijing at that moment.
Today is the day of the court hearing.
Shen Nansheng wasn't supposed to come along, but his girlfriend Mary wanted to see the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, so he decided to come along too.
As the plaintiff's representative, Chu Yang was required to appear in court.
Chu Yang lay comfortably in his first-class seat, glanced at Lou Chunyue who was sleeping next to him with an eye mask on, and said, "No need to guess, it must be Li Yanhong. Who else would scold you so harshly right now but him?"
"Then why doesn't he scold you? You're the legal representative of the company; I'm just a nobody shareholder," Shen Nansheng asked, puzzled.
"Big brother, do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'transparent'? With your name on the table, who in the entire business world would dare to ignore you? I, your second brother, am the one who's invisible," Chu Yang laughed.
"That seems to be true." Shen Nansheng was a little smug, but pretended to be helpless: "There's nothing I can do. With such a reputation, I can't even be a behind-the-scenes boss."
"Yes, no matter how well you disguise it, you're still like a firefly in the dark, so bright and dazzling." Chu Yang didn't mind praising it a few more times.
"My second brother understands me perfectly." Shen Nansheng was very pleased.
"Pfft!" Lou Chunyue, who was sleeping, was woken up by the joke and laughed so hard that her breasts shook.
Mary, who was standing nearby, laughed and said that the two of them were putting on a comedy routine.
"Second brother, I have a question. Why do we have to wear masks when we go out? Is it because we're in danger when we get there, and we'll get beaten up if we're recognized?" Shen Nansheng asked again.
Chu Yang didn't answer, but said, "Today is the 18th, brother, let's stock up on some masks and disinfectant."
Shen Nansheng was taken aback: "Why are you hoarding this stuff? How much?"
Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Let's stockpile 100,000 pieces of each first."
"Oh, okay, two hundred thousand pieces...two hundred thousand?!" Shen Nansheng exclaimed in disbelief, almost jumping up from his seat.
Lou Chunyue and Mary were both surprised.
Shen Nansheng, however, thought a step further and tentatively asked, "Second brother, have you spotted another business opportunity? Can you make money by hoarding this stuff?"
Chu Yang smiled slightly: "I can do charity work."
Before they could ask any questions, he continued, "I recently went to Wuzhishi Mountain and met a high monk at Shilin Temple. His Dharma name was Kuiji, and he said something."
"What did the master say?" Shen Nansheng and the others were very curious.
Chu Yang feigned profundity and slowly said, "Master Kuiji said that turmoil is coming and plagues will rage. Amitabha."
“Turbulence is coming, and plagues will rage…” Shen Nansheng and Lou Chunyue repeated.
The literal meaning is easy to understand: does it mean a plague is about to occur?
The word "plague" has been a dreaded disaster since ancient times. Once it occurs, it will inevitably cause widespread suffering and countless deaths.
With Master Kuiji making such a prediction, could a plague really be about to descend?
Seeing Chu Yang's serious and earnest expression, Shen Nansheng and the others suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
Mary, however, seemed confused, blinking, "Um, I understand the beginning, but what does 'Amitabha' mean? Is it a more significant prophecy? Is it the end of the world? Oh my god..."
Others: "..."
In short, Chu Yang brought up Master Kuiji, which completely stunned them.
It can only be said that in this day and age, and especially in Guangdong province, there are still many people who believe in this.
"As for things that make money... Sister Mary, let's switch places, I want to talk to my brother," Chu Yang said.
“Oh, okay.” Mary unbuckled her seatbelt and switched seats with him.
Then I saw the two of them quietly discussing something.
She couldn't help but ask Lou Chunyue, "Is Brother Chen's second brother very good at making money?"
“He’s incredibly capable.” Lou Chunyue glanced at Chu Yang and said, “Ever since my uncle met him, as long as he listens to him, he makes a lot of money no matter what he does, and he has never lost money.”
“Wow, incredible!” Marizan exclaimed.
"So, what kind of money-making scheme are they discussing?" she asked curiously.
"I don't know about that. He might be involved in any industry, entertainment, stocks, football betting, stores, there's nothing he can't do," Lou Chunyue said.
Mary's eyes lit up: "What an amazing young man! I must introduce my sister to him!"
Lou Chunyue: "...?"
