Wang Yaocheng and his party, who had just arrived in Los Angeles after a transoceanic flight from China, did not return to the Mediterranean Manor to catch up on jet lag. They rushed to the press conference as soon as possible to try their best to eliminate the serious impact of the "Papa Billy's Nightclub Sexual Assault Case" on Google.
Press conference site
As soon as Wang Yaocheng, Qi Yafei, Attorney Montgomery Jr. and other senior executives entered the venue, they heard the continuous "click-click" sound of taking pictures, and the flashlights were as bright as day.
As the focus of public opinion now, everyone hopes to see how the Royal Family Fund responds to this matter?
Hundreds of journalists from all over the United States conducted live interviews, and more than a dozen local television stations in Los Angeles and other TV stations set up live broadcast equipment, giving the appearance of a massive effort.
Of course, the news was revealed by the Royal Family Foundation a long time ago, and the itinerary was also arranged. Otherwise, there would be no way so many media reporters would come to deal with breaking news.
Another perspective;
It just proves the heavyweight status of Royal Fund in the world's financial community. Every move affects people's hearts. Anything that happens will attract the attention of public opinion. Isn't it a reflection of its heavyweight status?
There are hundreds of thousands of sexual assault cases in the United States every year, but few cases attract national attention. The last time it was the "Michael Jackson rape case" of the pop music superstar, which also caused a lot of uproar.
Who has the time to pay attention to ordinary cases?
Qi Yafei first made a brief opening remarks;
What he said was that he was deeply saddened by the unexpected "Papa Billy's Nightclub Sexual Assault Case", expressed deep sympathy for the girl who was violated in the case, and expressed admiration for the efficiency of the local police station. The Royal Family Fund will be responsible
Proper handling and so on.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Feng, the host of the press conference, announced that the reporter's question session would begin.
Almost immediately, hundreds of arms were raised with a "swish".
Seeing this situation, host Zhao Feng had to announce a rule;
"In view of the fact that there are many reporters present and the time of the press conference is limited, in order to allow more reporters to have the opportunity to ask questions, each reporter has only one opportunity to ask questions and can ask no more than two questions. I hope everyone will consciously
Please cooperate. When the question-and-answer session begins, this lady will start asking questions first."
"Hello! I am Jenny, a reporter from the Christian Science Monitor. Regarding this scandal that has shocked the United States, the public wants to know what kind of responsibility you will bear? What remedial measures are there? Please answer directly."
Qi Yafei, who was sitting on the podium, hesitated and took the initiative to look at Wang Yaocheng;
This is a big question, so it’s up to you to answer it.
Wang Yaocheng nodded and said seriously;
"First of all, let's make it clear that we do not bear any responsibility for this case. Larry Page and Sergey Brin are adults with full criminal capacity, and they will bear the consequences for the crimes they committed.
This is how you atone for your sins.
U.S. law does not have provisions to implicate family members, let alone ordinary investors. Google currently has 11 institutional investors and 672 natural person investors.
From a legal sense, they bear no responsibility for this case and are also victims of the case.
As a responsible large company, we will provide humanitarian help to victims, provide psychological counseling services and legal aid services, and severely condemn this evil behavior.
Of course, all this is based on the victim's willingness to accept help. May God forgive these two lost sinners."
Wang Yaocheng's speech cleverly avoided the trap set by reporters.
Let the company completely separate itself from the vicious assault case. At the beginning of the press conference, it firmly stated its position and would not let the bad media confuse the concept.
All help is based on a humanitarian standpoint. Vicious criminal cases have nothing to do with the company. Whoever did it is responsible.
His words caused a commotion among the reporters, and their arms stood up like a forest.
"Hello! The famous Boss King, I am Maxime Kline, a reporter from the Washington Post. What attitude will you take towards Google? How will you deal with the endgame of Google? To ensure investment
People’s interests.”
Wang Yaocheng nodded and said;
"This is a good question. After the case occurred, we came from the other side of the Pacific as soon as possible. This shows that we take the interests of every investor seriously.
In a Western proverb: A bargain is a bargain. (An agreement reached cannot be broken.)
The company has always adhered to this concept, unswervingly defended the interests of investors, and will make every effort to this end.
If we put aside the sensitive identity of the perpetrator of the case, we will find that this is an ordinary criminal case. Evil people who commit crimes will be severely punished by the law to maintain justice in the world.
Google, a company worth 500 million US dollars, is not guilty. We cannot throw away the children when we throw dirty water. This is stupid.
Grasp the thistle firmly. (Handle difficult situations resolutely)
That's what my team and I are going to do now. These two scumbags, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, have messed everything up.
We must reorganize Google, try our best to restore people's confidence, and protect the interests of investors.
Thank you for your question, next one."
"I am New York Times reporter Gavin Fergus. I would like to know if you have contacted the victim Elena? Her current physical and mental condition is very bad, almost falling into a hysterical collapse. How do you want to help?
What specific measures will she take?"
"Uh...this question will be answered by Attorney Montgomery Jr."
Attorney Montgomery Jr. also had the same trademark serious expression, an expression of hatred, or in other words, an expression of compassion.
If you have complicated thoughts, you can still read the mixed emotions of pity, disappointment and pain from his eyes.
on this occasion
Any laughter and frivolous behavior will be magnified under the reporter's pen and turn into a torture of the human soul.
We are all seasoned, so of course we cannot make such stupid mistakes, as long as we keep a straight face.
"It can be said responsibly that after the case occurred, the company's legal staff immediately intervened in the case, understood the specific circumstances of the case, and tried to contact the victim's family to provide as much help as they could.
Whether it is medical treatment, psychological relief, traumatic stress treatment or other aspects, the company can provide complete and thoughtful assistance.
Let me reiterate here;
As a responsible large company, all this is based on humanitarian care, and the families of the victims are also required to take the initiative to accept help.
Unfortunately, all our good intentions were flatly rejected without leaving any room, and I personally regret this."
have to……
This time he pushed 625 and tore himself clean.
Of course, the company hopes to be involved in the follow-up processing, so that it can potentially exert influence. If the victim refuses help, it will be very annoying.
If you lose the channel of communication, you will naturally lose the opportunity to exert influence.
Well……
Fortunately, this matter itself will cause a big fuss, and the side effects will naturally be that Google's reputation will be damaged, and the reputations of Larry Page and Sergey Brin will be completely ruined, which is all expected.
Public opinion is all about forgetfulness. People say that fish only have a memory of seven seconds. In fact, the general public is not much better. They will soon be attracted by new news hot spots and completely forget about this matter.
…
The press conference lasted for more than an hour. The three company executives on the stage took turns answering reporters' questions and gave positive responses to the topics of concern to the public opinion community one by one.
There are many problems that cannot be circumvented, and they do not exist if you close your eyes. You must have the courage to face them head-on.
"Boss Mr. Wang, I am Ryan Gollings, a reporter from The Philadelphian. We know that you are the majority shareholder and one of the three co-founders of Google. Why did you invest in Google in the first place? You know the qualities of these two people.
Extremely low-grade scum? Why are you willing to invest huge amounts of money on them?"
Wang Yaocheng said;
"I am willing to answer the reporter's question head-on. Generally speaking, due to the different division of labor, the company's investment cases in Silicon Valley network high-tech companies are reviewed by professionals, and I am not involved.
The exception is Google, which is an investment I rarely make personally.
It was an afternoon a few years ago when I was inspecting projects in mainland China. Larry Page and Sergey Brin came across the Pacific Ocean with their company investment case.
I admire the courage of entrepreneurs. They decided to invest in this project before meeting anyone, because this is the courage and courage that a successful developer must have. I saw it in them.
I gave them five minutes to briefly talk about the project. I admired the web crawler idea very much and decided to invest at that time.
In fact, you also saw it;
Google is a successful Internet high-tech enterprise with unlimited possibilities in the future, which shows that this investment case is successful.
What failed is;
I didn't discover the darkness and violent tendencies in their hearts. Facts have proved that I am neither omnipotent nor superman.
The world still needs the FBI to maintain justice, and I can only express regret for this. Everyone needs to be responsible for their actions, and may God forgive them."
Unconsciously, the press conference fell into the rhythm planned by Wang Yaocheng. The overall tone was positive and positive, and of course there were some malicious spoilers.
"I am BBC reporter David Michaud. I would like to ask Mr. Boss Wang to answer this question directly. Larry Page and Sergey Brin made big mistakes in this case inexplicably. The three joint officials from Google
Two founders have been lost, and no one can stop you from controlling Google. This seems to make us feel that there is something shady. What is your explanation for this?"
This question is malicious and very pointed.
Reporter David Michaud stared at Wang Yaocheng eagerly, as if he wanted to see cowardice and conspiracy on his face, as if he was barefoot and not afraid of big troubles.
Wang Yaocheng also answered with a straight face;
"Before answering this question, I hope to clarify a basic concept, which is who is the boss of Google?
In terms of equity ratio;
As one of the three co-founders, I hold 90% of the shares in the angel round investment. I am undoubtedly the talker. I have a decisive position in Google and can decide any company matters and whether anyone should stay or leave.
.
After Series A financing;
I hold 78% of the shares and still maintain this identity, Larry Page and Sergey Brin have a combined shareholding of 7%, and the rest are 11 institutional investors and company shareholders.
It can be said that from the beginning to the end, Google was absolutely controlled by me, so the first assumption does not hold.
As for the shady story;
First of all, it is established that Larry Page and Sergey Brin's actions were related to being wronged, being designed, and being the victims of the entire incident.
The girl who was violently assaulted is a link in the conspiracy, and everyone in the power agencies and public opinion circles that maintain social justice may be a participant.
They sent a malicious girl to be abused. Every violent crime committed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin was forced, innocent, and subjectively passive.
It’s very scary and unbelievable to think about it. After hearing your question, I already feel that there is no fairness and justice in the world.
I can't answer this question. I can only ask the police or FBI to intervene in the investigation and give the public the truth.
Mr. David Michaud, are you satisfied with my answer?"
No need to mobilize
The reporters present had angrily begun to denounce BBC reporter David Michaud, causing waves of commotion at the press conference.
If it weren't for the security guards to maintain order, David Michaud would have been punched so hard that he couldn't even recognize him.
Completely believable;
Such a major issue will be inserted into the entire incident and arouse the enthusiasm of public opinion.
This stupid problem has entered thousands of households through live broadcast, and it seems that it is inevitable to distort the rhythm of public opinion.
The vast majority of American citizens have a moral bottom line. The vast majority of the middle class pay taxes in accordance with the law and are qualified Puritans. Fairness, fairness and justice are things that everyone must adhere to and cannot be violated.
David Michaud's issue caused public outrage, and Wang Yaocheng could drown him in the spit of bystanders without the need for Wang Yaocheng to take action. He can be regarded as a typical example of someone who will die without doing anything.
The news was broadcast live to thousands of households, and the crowd in front of the TV immediately became angry;
"Fuck... I think BBC reporter David Michaud is a real scumbag, the kind of stinking shit that should be in a dirty sewer."
"Look! These questions he asked, the BBC is also bad, a bad company employs bad people, that's right."
"Go to hell! This idiot, I really want to beat him up."
"I've seen this bastard, and he once bought pizza from us. Well... next time he dares to come here, I will spit on the pizza and let him taste my saliva."
"Wow, that's not a punishment but a reward. Dear Jennifer, I want to taste your saliva right now."
"roll!"
Undoubtedly, David Michaud has become famous through television in thousands of households, not a good reputation but a bad reputation, but he is famous no matter what.
BBC television
A roar erupted in the news producer's office;
"Idiots, idiots, shitty people ask shitty questions. I will make David Michaud regret asking this shitty question for the rest of his life. I will ban him in the entire news media industry. This idiot has no future. Go to hell... Fuck
you.”
The slim female secretary knocked on the door fearfully and came in;
"Idiot woman who let you in."
"But...but you always called me baby before, wuwuwu..."
"Okay, okay honey, I was so angry with that bastard David Michaud. Let's forget about this unpleasant thing. Come here and let me hug you, and everything will be over."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"ah……"
With a "crash", people and chairs fell down, and the scene was in a state of panic...
