Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

No matter where you do business, connections and reputation are very important.

For example, now, Wang Zheng wants to buy PA semi, but with his reputation, if he comes directly to buy it, it is hard to say whether it will be sold, but the price will definitely increase.

Everyone knows that he is rich and a good entrepreneur.

Meta, WeChat, and Tik Tok were all created by him, and newspapers in Silicon Valley began to call him the "King of Social Networks."

The company that Wang Zheng is interested in and wants to acquire, no matter what it does, will definitely make money, so he will raise the price first.

This is the celebrity effect.

So he couldn't do it in a big way, he had to enter the village quietly.

After some calculations, Rhett Hoffman's shares could be communicated through Peter Dill, as they were very familiar with each other.

You can ask Jeff Rothschild about the shares of Sutong Capital, but given Sutong's urinary attitude, he probably won't sell them.

This company is outrageous. Regardless of the size of the company, his investment amount does not exceed 3%, and this number is always maintained - they have no exit mechanism.

In other words, once Sutong holds it, it will not sell out.

As for the three investment companies of Goldman Sachs, Carlyle and SoftBank, they are the typical wolves of Wall Street. As long as they provide enough benefits, they will definitely buy them.

But Blue Factory was different. This was Blue Factory's own investment arm. It didn't make money through investment. The purpose was to build its own brand value. Wang Zheng was really unsure whether he could get the shares it held.

And on the surface, there is really no direct relationship between Phil International and Blue Factory, it all depends on negotiation.

Since Wang Zheng cannot directly come forward to handle this matter, who should it be more reasonable to leave it to?

Wang Zheng thought for two minutes and decided not to bother the two masters, but to find Jeff Rothschild.

Since Enyi wants to be a long-term partner, she has to show some ability.

I picked up my newly purchased BlackBerry and quickly dialed Jeff's number: "Jeff, I need a little help."

"OK."

Jeff on the other end of the phone didn't even ask anything and just agreed.

Wang Zheng smiled with satisfaction and said: "There is a company called PA semi in Mountain View, Silicon Valley. Its main business is chip design. I want to acquire this company, but I don't have anyone to come forward, so I want to ask you to help me complete the acquisition."

"PA semi, I will reply to you in the afternoon. By the way, I heard from Peter that the Facebook deal has been finalized. Thank you, I have saved a lot of losses."

"It's okay. By the way, what is Sutong Capital? They also hold 3% of PA semi's shares."

Wang Zheng was simply curious and asked casually, but to his surprise, Jeff fell silent. After waiting for almost ten seconds, Wang Zheng thought the phone was disconnected, then he heard Jeff's voice again.

"Phil, the water behind Sutong is very deep, don't touch it."

Before Wang Zheng could ask, Jeff said "Waiting for my news" and hung up the phone, leaving Wang Zheng confused.

Is Sutton Capital so exaggerated? Rothschild doesn't even want to touch it. Is it Rockefeller?

That's not right. The Rothschilds shouldn't even avoid the Rockefellers. That would also lose the reputation of the so-called "First Family".

Forget it, you still have to keep the advice in mind - this is the American League, not my hometown.

So I stopped thinking about it and turned on my computer to check the news on Tik Tok.

Obviously, Diane has accomplished the task Wang Zheng asked last night. The first, third, fourth and sixth topics on the home page are all about the Seattle Thermal Power Plant incident.

The protagonist of the incident is Ruskin Angus, a 37-year-old black man. He is accused of deliberately damaging key facilities of the power plant. He is currently in police custody. The police said that because he caused significant property damage, Angus is likely to be sentenced to 20 years in prison.

A prison term of more than 1 year.

However, the contents of the hot search list and hot topics are mainly the speeches of Angus’ girlfriend, coworkers and lawyers.

Angus's girlfriend said that every time Angus went home recently, he complained that the special tools provided by the company for repairing generators were broken. He had complained to the company many times, but no one left him alone.

Angus's lawyer said that during the meeting with Angus, Angus was very emotional and said that the white leaders of the company discriminated against him and refused to listen to his explanation at all, but sent him directly to the police station.

As for one of his co-workers, he said that Angus is very reliable and has excellent technology. The company is very stingy and is not even willing to replace damaged special tools. This is why Angus's tool suddenly broke during the repair process and flew into the air.

It hit a running motor next to it, which caused the motor failure.

Wang Zhengcai doesn't care about the truth of the matter, he cares about the effect of public opinion.

These three pieces of information can appear on the hot list because Diane must have made adjustments in the background, but this adjustment is very effective and people's attention has been focused on this issue.

This sentence is perfect, involving discrimination, injustice and heavy losses, and fully mobilizes the fighting spirit of American Internet users.

Blindly following this concept is also a common phenomenon abroad.

For example, in this matter, if one person says it is an injustice, they may not believe it at all. But in a very short period of time, 100,000 people tell you that it is an injustice?

The Americans have never won the battle against the capitalists, but they have never lost the battle against the authorities. The governors and generals here are elected by the people.

Everyone is working under the hands of capitalists. Are there more of us or your authority?

Ever since, when Tik Tok only carried out some deliberate guidance, the matter completely exploded in the American League.

In the morning, ordinary people were just verbally criticizing people on the Internet, and public opinion gradually developed towards color discrimination. By the afternoon, black people in Seattle organized themselves and took to the streets to start demonstrations.

And the tool they use to organize the parade is Tik Tok.

This country is very strange. They go to the streets to demonstrate when they are happy, and they also go to the streets to demonstrate when they are unhappy. Anyway, they always feel that this kind of "democratic and free" gathering activities can help them solve practical problems.

In fact, the media is for news, the authorities are for majesty, the commander-in-chief is for re-election, Nico is for vandalism and robbery, the white left is for justice... and so on. Over time, parades have become a culture.

Wang Zheng, who has been watching the development of the situation, is very satisfied with the effect of this public opinion.

That's right. Just publishing news is of no use.

Guiding public opinion is Tik Tok’s job—that’s not what Zha Lang does.

The difference is that Zhalang does it to make money.

Wang Zheng will not be in the business of asking people to pay to remove trending searches. What he needs is this kind of continuous opposition.

As long as this state occurs from time to time, Tik Tok will always be at the forefront, and the result will be extremely fast growth.

After all, this is the American League, and what it advocates is freedom.

In the future, there will be people who will vote on Twitter and govern the country on Twitter. Since it can be done in the future, there is no reason why it cannot be done now.
