Although the opportunity to interview Wang Ai was rare, and Wang Ai was frank enough, no one had any exclusive news. As the interview progressed, slowly and gently, all the questions were asked, and the reporters behind wanted to ask something.
What is valuable, the scale is getting bigger and bigger.
For example, a reporter asked: "There are rumors on the Internet that the Tübingen Youth Club belongs to you. Some time ago, it was rumored that the National Olympics will be resident in Tübingen... Can you explain this?"
Wang Ai was keenly aware that this was a trap. What the reporter was supposed to say was, "Are you colluding with Gao Hongbo and others internally and externally to earn state funds?" Maybe he thought this question was too sharp, so he settled for the next best thing.
But this pointer is still thrown out.
The affiliation of Tubingen Youth is not a secret in the Chinese football circle. Although no one except Xu Genbao and Gao Hongbo has seen the registration information of Tubingen Youth with their own eyes, they can guess it. Some high-level figures are more familiar with it.
It's not a secret.
But at the public level, there is ambiguity. There are only speculations but no concrete evidence. Wang Ai and Leonie agreed not to admit it publicly and only work silently to prevent some people from having delusions. If Wang Ai publicly admits it, it will give Tübingen youth
Adding layers of constraints. Wang Ai prefers to do things according to normal business rules, and then secretly provide certain conveniences. Fortunately, the young people of Tubingen registered with the central government, which has great interests at the macro level, and the mainstream media dare not expose it.
But small media have no such scruples.
After thinking about it, Wang Ai wrote: "As far as I know, the food, accommodation, training, and medical expenses for the National Olympics in Tübingen are lower than the normal price, and the use of training facilities is more than what is stipulated in the contract. In this regard, you
You can check it out."
Wang Ai avoided the question of ownership of Tubingen, but the reporter may have been too excited and immediately asked: "Does the youth of Tubingen belong to you?"
Wang Ai frowned, but it was hard to rebuke him in "public", so he had to use diplomatic language: "No comment", and then waved his hand to the side. Kang Si immediately silenced the reporter. Anyway, it was time for the next one
Already.
Under Xu Qinglian's persuasion, Wang Ai did not put a "warning" afterwards. He felt that he gave everyone face, but some people were greedy or were "deceived" by his good public image? Think he is easy to talk to?
In fact, Wang Ai’s friends all know that this guy is just jovial on the surface, but he is actually very difficult to get along with. He sets rules for his teammates wherever he goes. Is this something a good person can do? This summer’s National Olympic training camp in Beijing, he immediately
Xiao Mao's wine was dug out and thrown away. Even if he was given money, would Xiao Mao be happy? That is to say, he was super strong and set an example so that his teammates would not complain.
After this question, sensitive questions gradually emerged, and some asked other fields aside from the sports aspect. For example, why does the Idiot Fund prefer the three northeastern provinces and Sichuan Province? There are many people in other parts of the country who cannot afford to go to school. Are you trying to do something regional?
discriminate?
Damn it!
Wang Ai took out a small book and put this media on the blacklist. It's not like Wang Ai has never banned media. Back in Trinidad and Tobago, Wang Ai banned a sports reporter because he bravely traveled to the world.
It was not unblocked until many years later. It can even be said that Wang Ai accepted exclusive interviews with four media outlets, which is equivalent to blocking all media outlets across the country. Aren’t you also suffering? Why are you kicking your noses today when Wang Ai gives face?
On your face?
Because there were so many irrelevant questions, Wang Ai's answers became slower and slower. At 11:30 noon, more than 50 reporters had just taken a round, and there was no choice. Wang Ai was also exhausted, so he asked Kang
Silk issued an end announcement.
Love it however you like, I didn’t say there would be a second round anyway, I’m really unhappy, go find those idiots!
In the afternoon, Xinhuanet also answered questions from netizens online. Wang Ai had to seize the time to eat some food, take a rest, and think about it.
Having been at the forefront of the storm for many years, Wang Ai is very sensitive and intuitively feels that something is not right today.
While having lunch, a reporter from the Xinhua News Agency's London branch came with a computer. He would accompany Wang Ai for the afternoon's online answers. Netizens' questions also had to be screened. His computer had Xinhuanet's back-end permissions and internal communication methods.
It will be easier to coordinate with Beijing.
Of course, his visit was not innocent. In addition to answering questions online, he would also chat with Wang Ai. The reporter's "chat" was not pure at all. It was equivalent to an exclusive interview, and he could even easily include the morning's interview.
Joint interview as a subject.
Xinhuanet announced that it would start at eight o'clock in the evening. Wang Ai still had some time after lunch, so he joked with a smile: "This morning was quite intense. Where did you find so many sharp-tongued colleagues?"
"This... it's not a secret news anyway, well... the Anti-Monopoly Law is about to be introduced."
"Huh?" Wang Ai narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Did someone say something about my family?"
The reporter hesitated for a moment before nodding. After all, this was not a hidden message. Wang Ai then began to think deeply.
In fact, as early as 1999, after Aidi Paper, Donghai Paper, and Zhongyuan Paper reached a market division agreement, in actual operations, the three companies coordinated and even unified product prices, otherwise market division would become empty talk. In this way, the original intention
An alliance to avoid vicious competition has a monopoly character, and its scientific name is "cartel"!
In the development of the following years, as the reorganized Northern Paper has given up a large number of potential markets, it has received certain support. The company's development direction has also changed from exploding production capacity to exploding technology. In the past few years, in the production and technology of civilian paper,
He holds a large number of patents in materials, equipment, chemicals, etc., and gradually becomes the head of the organization through paid transfers. In this process, cooperation within the alliance in all aspects has gradually deepened.
At the same time, the "Five Small" enterprises are being comprehensively rectified in recent years. Water pollution in paper-making enterprises must be supplied with water recycling equipment. As a result, a large number of small and medium-sized civilian paper enterprises have been eliminated due to cost issues. The market share of these three companies has increased along with the trend, and currently has reached an astonishing
95%. However, attaching importance to environmental protection has brought about another problem, that is, raw materials. On the one hand, the old books that have been used for decades have been almost consumed, and the country is engaged in paperless office. On the other hand, returning farmland to forest also increases the supply of wood.
Shortage.
In this way, Russian wood pulp and American waste paper have become inevitable solutions.
However, if the three companies negotiate separately, they will be like Chinese steel companies facing BHP Billiton, being seduced by vicious bidding and being controlled by others. So at the suggestion of Northern Paper, the three companies decided to join forces to further expand the alliance and achieve the unification of raw materials.
Buy.
Advantages have been taken, but the nature of the monopoly has also evolved from a cartel to a syndicate!
