As soon as 36 Krypton's "Shadow of the Titans" series came out, a tornado blew up from the Internet circle and even the whole society.
The guests interviewed were so topical, ranging from Zhang Yida, Huang Xin, Liu Ruoxi, and Huang Wei, four big guys in charge of companies with a valuation of 100 billion/market value, to Huang Xiaojie, the former CEO of Tiantian Dongting, and Zhang Xiangdong, the former CEO of China Wanwang...
The CEO of a company that is waiting to be acquired by Ali.
Everyone is in a period of glory, or has been brilliant before.
Although Zhang Yida and the other four people did not criticize Ah Li and Jack Ma by name, anyone who is a netizen can basically see it.
Zhang Yida mainly emphasized that he was subjected to unfair business competition and ridiculed the operation mode of Ali War Investment;
As a victim, Huang Xin explained the thrilling experience of almost being robbed of control of the company last year, and also satirized Ali's brainwashing corporate culture;
Brother Weak West was even more direct. He directly used the example of Jack Ma looking down on him. He also mocked Ahri’s rookie alliance for copying Gou Dong and slapped himself in the face. He also ridiculed Jack Ma for bragging, dishonesty, and ruining the atmosphere of the Internet circle;
Huang Wei was more restrained and just said that the rookie alliance belittled its opponents and promoted itself;
Huang Xiaojie and other senior executives of companies acquired by Ahli poured out their bitter experiences, talking about how to regret and play the emotional card to win sympathy.
The melon-eating people on the Internet are crazy about it, and the Internet's "melon" is getting bigger and bigger.
"Ahri is just a destroyer, not worthy of respect at all."
"Insatiable greed, I want to get involved in any industry!"
"Give me back Tiantian Dongting and let "Planet Ahri" go away!"
"Jack Ma is originally a deer-headed rat, so Mr. Lei didn't invest in him back then. This proves another sentence: the face is born from the heart!"
"Remember the Chinese Yellow Pages? Jack Ma used it to deceive the ministries and commissions!"
"If you pretend to be empty, Jack Ma will catch up with the good times. In the era of mobile Internet, he can't even beat a splash."
"If you open your mouth at the beginning, Ahri will rely on her bragging!"
…
Jack Ma looked at these comments on the Internet, and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out. The good character cultivated by practicing Tai Chi for many years allowed him to hold back his anger.
Looking at Pang Lei standing tremblingly in front of him, he said coldly: "Tell me! How to solve it?"
Pang Lei smiled bitterly, "I just wanted to give Zhang Yida some trouble, but I didn't expect him to react so radically!"
"Now all the public opinion on the Internet is on their side, and people all over the country are watching my jokes.
They say that I, Jack Ma, am a villain who talks nonsense, acquires companies randomly, and destroys the industry..."
Jack Ma listed one by one his "various crimes" in the words of netizens.
"This is all promoted by Zhang Yida, how about we also release some of his "dirty information"?"
Jack Ma asked: "What black material?"
"For example, if he doesn't attend classes for a long time, Peking University retains his student status. He controls the Ruixiang Industrial Fund and invests in its affiliated companies..."
"This is just drizzle, and it can't touch its foundation."
Jack took a long breath and said, "First think of a way to get public opinion to come to our side!"
…
Wang Shuai, chairman of Ahri's Marketing and Public Relations Committee, took action. As Jack Ma's top thug, he has extensive experience in public relations due to his wealth of "scold wars".
Wang Shuai first published a post on Weibo titled "The General's Book of Defeating the Army":
"Ali Baba is Asia's largest company by market value. Malicious slander will not hurt Ali, nor will it alleviate its own competitive difficulties...
With a valuation of US$60 billion, Leech Financial is the number one financial technology company in the Chinese market, both in terms of valuation and financial technology...
The wailing of the defeated general is like the barking of a dog. Ahri and Leech Financial are not afraid of any competition. Once the off-market tricks are over, please return to normal business competition."
Then, a group of bigwigs from the Chinese Alumni Association, China Entrepreneurs Club, and Jiangnan Association spoke out through the media or Weibo.
"Zhang Yida is just a lucky boy. What qualifications does he have to criticize Jack Ma? Let's solve the company's losses or go public first!" - Shi Daxianren.
"Young people! It's easy to get confused when you have some achievements. I hope to adjust my mentality as soon as possible." - Song Weiping.
"Don't be motivated to fight in the shopping mall. Focus more on your career and create more jobs for the country. This is what benefits the country and the people." - Shen Guojun.
"It's not too late to chat and laugh with the dignitaries of various countries before giving advice!" - Feng Lun.
…
Dozens of business tycoons rarely spoke out through various channels, and some media specially compiled statistics and published them online.
"Zhang Yida's strength is still not good! His background is a bit lacking. Look at Jack Ma's circle of friends!"
"This time, we, the post-90s generation, stand with Zhang Yida. What qualifications do those people who rely on their old age have to criticize young people?
If you're not in the real estate business, you're selling fake health products, so how can you have the face to criticize others?"
"Zhang Yida is also very powerful! Mobao Pay has entered many countries in Asia, Musical.ly is popular in North America and Europe, and Green Scooter has amazed Silicon Valley..."
"It took nearly 20 years for Jack Ma to develop to this day, and Zhang Yida only took 3 years. 20 years later, Jack Ma will definitely be defeated by Zhang Yida! I will post it as proof!"
"I just laughed, and Jack Malik used his power to overwhelm others!"
…
"Yida, why are you arguing with Jack Ma? That's almost enough. Don't let the outside world see the joke."
The first person to call was Dongfang Yu, which surprised Zhang Yida.
Dongfang Yu is a member of the China Entrepreneurs Club and the Huaxia Alumni Association, and Jack Ma is also a member of these two organizations.
"Ahri instigated the self-media to attack me this time. They started the war first."
Dongfang Yu smiled bitterly and said to himself, Jack Ma is the same, and my younger brother is also a successful entrepreneur after all. Your business is business, and competition is competition, so why use these small tricks? You still think of yourself as a business leader.
"Okay! Enough is enough, the higher-ups are paying attention!"
Then, Robin Li and other senior fellows from Beijing also called to express their condolences, and they all tried to persuade Zhang Yida not to escalate the situation any further.
"How's it going? Have you seen Jack Ma's energy?" Huang Xin called and said with a smile.
"You see, China's richest man has a platform."
Huang Xin comforted him: "Don't be sad, at least we have worked hard to reveal Jack Ma's true face to the outside world.
Business leaders mock us and make fun of us, but the public and the vast majority of netizens are on our side.
Have you noticed that none of the big names who spoke out are from the Internet circle?
Well... melatonin doesn't count, he's just a speculator.
It can be seen that the Internet has been suffering for a long time!
If you dare to go all out, you can give these industrial big guys a beating and you won't have to deal with them anyway.
There is no interaction, give them Mao’s face!”
"never mind!"
Zhang Yida said with waning interest: "What can we do if we fight? Just like you said, if the Internet circles are on our side, we have already won.
Although the victory was not complete, it still hurt Jack Ma’s face.”
"Whether you win or lose, as long as you have a good attitude, it will be fine."
After this incident, the friendship between Huang Xin and Zhang Yida improved a lot, and they encouraged each other a few times before hanging up the phone.
Then, Pony also called and said, "Do you need me to say a few words?"
"No, that's it for now!"
Bonima didn't expect Zhang Yida to be so patient. Usually a young man in his twenties would have flipped the table over.
But after thinking about it, I understand that without this kind of character, how could Zhang Yida start from scratch and build this business in three years.
"Okay, if you need help, come to me anytime!"
Bonima is still very loyal. Zhang Yida took the lead in the charge this time, and Penguin gained the advantage from behind.
First of all, it hurt Jack Ma and Ah Li's face, and in addition, it also blocked the way to join Ah Li.
From now on, I'm afraid I'll have to follow the penguins all the way to the dark side.
Goudong, Ruixiang, Meituan, and Bonima became more and more satisfied with these three little brothers.
They are all in the tens of billions of dollars in size, and they can also charge into battle, making them a solid ally of Penguin.
"That's enough, Yida, Jack's face is swollen from your beating this time.
Are you free now? Let’s have a couple of drinks to celebrate!”
Xu Xiaoming was worried that Zhang Yida would not be able to think about it, so he immediately started to praise him as soon as the phone call came through.
"How can it be so powerful? It can't hurt Jack's fur. On the contrary, I am embarrassed and get dissed by a bunch of big guys."
Xu Xiaoming sneered, "I'm here! Do you really think they are all Jack Ma's good friends?"
Seeing that Jack's horse is strong, help and cheer a few times, so that Jack's horse owes a favor.
You let them work hard to lose money, but they also want to help Jack Ma try to screw you?
Because of the alliance of interests, we only yell when we see something profitable."
Not long after hanging up the phone on Xu Xiaoming, Shen Beipeng, Li Hengbo and other shareholders also called to express their condolences.
They were very worried: Zhang Yida would not be in a state of collapse due to setbacks this time.
They invested heavily in Zhang Yida. Whether the money is lost or earned depends entirely on Zhang Yida.
Although there is an excellent corporate management team, the founder of the company is the soul of the company!
If Zhang Yida collapsed, they couldn't imagine the consequences, and the company's business performance might suffer a huge decline.
However, Zhang Yida is very energetic and does not care at all about being criticized and ridiculed by a group of senior business tycoons.
This gave investors a lot of peace of mind. They were most worried that Zhang Yida was too young and would have an explosive mentality because he lost the battle of emotions.
"Uncle Zhao, it's okay. It's just a dispute of temper with Jack Ma. This is very normal in the foreign Internet industry. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm an Internet tycoon even if I don't get into trouble several times.
The quarrel between 360 and Penguin was not very intense at the beginning, it will be fine when the quarrel is over."
Zhang Yida answered Zhao Wenbin's call and joked with him on the phone.
"Okay, just think about it."
Zhao Wenbin was very pleased. Before making this call, he had predicted Zhang Yida's various reactions.
Looking at Zhang Yida's reaction now, it is much better than he expected.
"The higher-ups are already paying attention to this incident. So many business tycoons are taking sides, which is not conducive to unity and stability.
You should stop speaking out, the matter at Huxiu.com has basically been finalized, and it can be considered an explanation to you."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!" Zhang Yida guessed that he was behind the scenes?
Zhao Wenbin smiled and said: "I didn't help much! The current self-media is too chaotic, and there are too many things made out of nothing. The higher-ups should use this incident to crack down hard."
Zhao Wenbin chatted with Zhang Yida for a while, shared some inside information, and ended the call after feeling that the latter was reassured.
Zhang Qinghua had a lot of news. When the last one called, he yelled:
"Why did you provoke Jack Ma? Hey, you dare to scold even the richest man. Do you know the deep political and business connections behind him?
With twenty years of business experience, how deep is the network of relationships we have created?
…”
After scolding his "ignorant" son, he asked with some concern: "I saw some comments online saying that your investors might have to divest their capital? Is this true?"
If you are short of money, you can still get 200 million by working together at home.
If we wait for a while, we should be able to mortgage the factory and borrow another few hundred million from the bank."
