Chapter 796: The whole house is full of filial piety
Lu Yiming never had any hope for the integrity of gossip reporters. He liked the journalist industry very much, and he also admired those journalists who even sacrificed their lives to seek the truth. This is why he has been supporting investigative journalists for so many years. But how should I put it about the group of investigative journalists? Some people need them, some don't. Those who need them can't decide whether they are needed or not, so they had completely disappeared in the era before Lu Yiming was reborn.
He sponsored the investigative reporter in order to monitor the popularization of computers in rural areas and schools. Although there have been some minor problems over the past few years, these two things have been implemented very well. However, the market for government agencies and public institutions is still occupied by Lenovo, and Lu Yiming does not intend to compete for this now.
This is not something that can be done with money, and Lu Yiming does not want to deal with these people. And he is confident and sure that these people will cry and beg him to squeeze Lenovo out of the market in a few years.
Let the bullets fly for a while.
Facing the gossip reporters in front of him, Lu Yiming honestly felt a bit of a headache. These people, who would even dig up their own ancestral graves for traffic, were really baffling.
Isn’t there a saying that goes, “A tree without bark is doomed to die, and a person without shame is invincible.” Such people are the invincible ones.
This question is easy to answer, so Lu Yiming did not evade the question and directly explained: "Qiandu Search is doing very well, there is no doubt about that, and I often use Qiandu Search. The reason why I did not invest in Qiandu Search is not because I am not optimistic about it, but simply because when I invested in Google, I signed an agreement with Google that I could not invest in Google's competitors."
"You see, from this perspective, even Google recognizes the value of Qiandu Search, so you can imagine that Qiandu Search is very powerful. And I recently used Qiandu Tieba, a product that came out last year. I think it is very easy to use. Their slogan is to build a world-leading Chinese community, and I think they will definitely achieve this goal."
The turn of the 21st century was a period of Internet explosion. Google and Qiandu both emerged in this era. Their starting points were not much different, but their subsequent development was completely different.
Google attaches great importance to technological research and development, and its founder has never forgotten the original intention of "changing the world", so it has made great strides and become a world-class Internet giant.
But Qiandu Search is different. Ever since it came up with the bidding ranking system, it has become complacent. Not only is it far behind its competitors in technology, it has also been scolded by users to the point that even its own mother’s ashes are almost gone.
Not to mention making any noise on the world Internet, even the three major Internet companies BAT in Xiaguo, which were called out at the beginning, gradually fell behind and were left far behind by the other two. Those rising stars who did not know etiquette even turned their heads and spat when they surpassed it.
Regarding this, Lu Yiming really felt sorry for their misfortune and was angry at their lack of resistance. The entire company's short-sightedness and eagerness for quick success and instant benefits led to such a situation.
Therefore, Lu Yiming asked Li Yiwen to buy shares of Qiandu to prevent this from happening. Now Li Yiwen is the largest shareholder besides the founder, and his voice can influence the company's decision-making.
Lu Yiming wanted to save this company. After all, this was a local search company in Xia Country, and companies of this type occupied a very important position on the Internet.
At this time, the US national policy began to shift towards anti-terrorism, so the relationship with Xia Country eased. For Lu Yiming, investing in Google at this stage was the option that maximized his profits.
Unfortunately, others don't see it that way.
After all, in this world, many things are often decided by the buttocks. The spectators don't care what the purpose of your investment is. They only know that what you do is not to their liking, so they will criticize you unscrupulously.
After the interview, Lu Yiming left, but the matter was not over yet. Within a day, the Internet was filled with various comments such as "Lu Yiming is not patriotic", "Capitalists have no motherland in their hearts", "Lu Yiming worships foreign things and would rather invest in Google than Baidu", etc.
When Lu Yiming saw these remarks, he was completely speechless.
He expected that the content of the interview would be taken out of context, but he did not expect it to be taken out of context so outrageously.
This is not taking things out of context. The difference between the two is like the original online novel and the film and television adaptation. Apart from the names, there is really no connection between them.
On the forum, there are many posts mocking Lu Yiming.
However, there are also reasonable people who stand up to refute.
Under a comment that said "the capitalists like Lu Yiming are the ones who are selling out their country the most," someone gave an example and said, "It's funny that you're slandering Mr. Lu. When eBay came to attack, didn't Mr. Lu stand on Taobao's side without hesitation? You're telling me that this is selling out your country? Mr. Lu himself said that he signed an agreement when he bought Google shares. Can't you open your eyes and read the content before showing off your IQ?"
Someone immediately chimed in: "That's right. You are so easily influenced by the media. Did you not bring your brain with you when you went out?"
"Stop talking upstairs. It's ok if you don't have a brain, but anyone who goes out with a pair of eyes wouldn't say such outrageous words."
"It's terrible that he has no brains and is blind."
"Qiandu can't do anything itself, but it can still blame it on Mr. Lu, the richest man. I'm really impressed."
"Speaking of Qiandu, we have to mention its major shareholder Li Yiwen. He is Lu Yiming's cousin and also Lu Yiming's chief financial officer. So Lu Yiming is also a shareholder of Qiandu. Those who said Lu Yiming didn't invest in Qiandu should kneel down and sing "Conquer". "
"Damn it, brother, I was wrong."
"Really? Lu Yiming is awesome! Isn't this obviously a way to bypass Google's agreement?"
"Haha, you little haters are embarrassed, right? Mr. Lu himself didn't invest in Baidu, but he let his cousin invest instead. They are family, okay?"
Li Yiwen was speechless when he learned that he was also implicated. He called Lu Yiming to complain: "Someone has been trying to slander you online recently. How come you don't seem to care at all? How come you have become more generous after making money?"
Lu Yiming said: "I don't bother to care. If I have to deal with all of them, then I won't have enough time in a day. They are just garbage on the Internet. I have plenty of time to waste. My time is precious."
Li Yiwen changed the subject and said, "Luo Yongjie's company went bankrupt and he was arrested. I heard that he was involved in illegal fundraising."
Lu Yiming had expected this result, so he asked, "Where's Zhao Bin?"
Li Yiwen complained: "He was exempted from prosecution. What on earth is going on here?"
Lu Yiming interrupted him and said, "He's in debt now, so he won't have a good life. Some people's money is not so easy to get. But it's good to have a good father. He can get away with nothing even after causing such a big mess."
The former rivals ultimately failed to withstand the tide of the times and were knocked over by the slightest rising waves.
There is a saying that goes, a grain of dust from the times, when it falls on someone's shoulder, is heavier than Mount Tai.
For Lu Yiming, the Delong Group was just a piece of news he had read in his previous life, but for Zhao Bin and Luo Yongjie, it became a hurdle that they could not overcome in their lives.
Google's IPO and Lu Yiming's huge profit of several billion yuan caused a sensation. Coupled with the quietly emerging blogging trend, the domestic Internet world has never been so lively.
Almost everyone was watching the show, waiting to see Lu Yiming's character collapse. It was as if if Lu Yiming, the richest man, fell, those of them who earned 500 or 1,000 yuan a month would move up one place on the rich list.
However, no matter how chaotic the outside world was, Lu Yiming was as steady as an old dog. After appeasing all the partners of Future Capital, he flew to Zhonghai. Xu Tengyu wanted to ask him for help with something.
When the plane arrived at Zhonghai, Lu Yiming put on his baseball cap and prepared to get off the plane.
As a result, before he even reached the boarding gate, he was stopped by a man in uniform: "Wait a moment, make way for our big shot, she must be the first to get off the plane."
When Lu Yiming heard this, he stopped in his tracks and thought to himself, how could he have such incredible luck that he could meet some important people just by taking a commercial flight?
Just at this moment, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties walked out of the first-class cabin, surrounded by several staff members.
Lu Yiming took a closer look and suddenly countless horses started running wildly in his heart.
It turned out that the person who came out was not a big shot at all, but a Korean female star named Song Hui.
Lu Yiming never had any idea of chasing stars, but even so, he knew Song Hui. A few years ago, she played a TV series about a love story that was extremely popular in China. It was hard not to see news about her if you were online. Many fans in the country regarded her as an idol and worshiped her like a goddess.
But who would have known that this goddess was just a toy of the Korean chaebols. It was said that once she was played with so much that she couldn't go to the toilet normally for seven days. It's exciting just to think about it.
Lu Yiming shook his head and began to look around.
All the passengers on the plane were trapped in the plane. The cabin door slowly opened, and then a red carpet was thrown down from the plane and covered the entire gangway. A dozen people in uniform maintained order below and cleared a large space.
Outside the human wall formed by these people, hundreds of entertainment reporters, carrying laptops and long and short guns, pointed at the cabin door. Regardless of gender, age or status, all of these people had excited expressions, as if they were orphans who were about to see their long-lost mothers.
Filial piety, so filial piety, the ultimate filial piety.
Surrounded by her entourage, Song Hui walked slowly onto the red carpet with a smile on her face, like a noble Madonna, taking lotus steps.
The moment she appeared in everyone's sight, the screams from the crowd were deafening and the various spotlights were blinding.
Everyone on the plane was waiting to get off the plane, but with these people stopping them, they had no choice but to wait patiently.
But unexpectedly, the person treated this as a private plane and stood at the door, posing and flirting, refusing to get off, which made everyone very angry.
Lu Yiming was sitting in the economy class near the cabin door and was one of the few people closest to the group.
Being stopped and forced to give way was already very unpleasant, not to mention that he had no good feelings towards these actors. Most importantly, he thought that he had hundreds of thousands of people every minute, and he actually had to give way to such an actor?
What the hell!
"That's enough. Look at how your waist is twisted. Aren't you afraid of a herniated disc?" Lu Yiming, who was carrying his own suitcase, spoke in a sarcastic tone, with no intention of easing the other party at all.
The group of staff members were feeling smug and thinking that they could bring honor to their family by relying on the Korean female star. But when they heard Lu Yiming's voice, they found it particularly irritating. Their anger was no less than if Lu Yiming had dug up their ancestral graves. They all turned their heads and glared at Lu Yiming.
"Who are you? Keep your mouth shut. How dare you insult my goddess? Do you believe I will bring people to dig up your ancestral graves?"
"You little brat, do you want to get a fight? This is a Korean actress, and you look like a Chinese, so how can you be so uncultured? You have brought shame to the Chinese people."
"That's right. After all, we are a country of etiquette. Today's young people are really a lost generation. They are vulgar. So damn vulgar."
The staff's sarcasm made Lu Yiming very unhappy, and his tone became even colder: "I'll give you one minute. Either get out of here or let others get out first. Otherwise, if something goes wrong later, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"One minute? Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to our international friends like that? Do you believe I will file a complaint directly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
"Oh, it's the 21st century, and there are still people like you who have no manners. It's a tragedy for the country. Boy, you look so well dressed, where are you from? Tell me your name, and I'll have your boss fire you!"
Facing the criticism from the group of brainless fans around him, Lu Yiming suddenly laughed out loud and said sarcastically: "Oh, Lord Bao has such great authority."
These people in front of him could have stood up but chose to kneel down. Lu Yiming knew that with their IQ and cognitive level, it would be futile to say more to them, so he called Xu Tengyu directly.
"I'm surrounded by a bunch of slaves who love sticks at the airport. I'll give you ten minutes. If you don't have that, I'll have to go back the same way."
Over there, Xu Tengyu was trying to cheer up Old Master Xu at home. Suddenly, he heard Lu Yiming's call and flew into a rage: "Who the hell is so bold? How dare they surround you at the airport? Just hold on, I'll be there soon."
Lu Yiming was Xu Tengyu's financial backer and the man behind Tengyu Logistics. When he learned that Lu Yiming was trapped, he got into his unlicensed car, stepped on the gas pedal as soon as he got out of the compound, and headed straight for the airport. He ran through countless red lights and exceeded the speed limit by an unknown amount. A journey that usually took half an hour or an hour took him just over ten minutes to arrive at the airport.
At the airport, after more than ten minutes, the actress was still posing in front of the plane entrance. She was full of energy and showed off her super long standby time. She treated the tarmac as a catwalk and started to walk the runway.
Seeing her posing in such a coquettish manner, I don’t know how many passengers who were in a hurry got anxious, and they all wanted to just kick her down.
But she was surrounded by so many people with extraordinary fighting power to protect her, and these ordinary people thought that with their weak arms and legs, they would just get beaten if they went up to her, so they had to endure it.
Seeing that Lu Yiming, who had been shouting before, had stopped, those people became even more proud and cast triumphant looks at Lu Yiming.
Humph, you are just an ant, and you dare to shout in front of international friends? Isn't this a brain-dead person?
At this moment, two shuttle buses came quickly. In addition to the airport staff in white uniforms, there were also strong men in black suits and sunglasses, and Xu Tengyu was surrounded by the strong men.
Xu Tengyu led the bodyguards straight to the plane. He glanced at the group of reporters who were surrounding Song Huimeng and taking pictures, and thought they were here to watch the kidnapping case. He became even more anxious and squeezed in with his men.
"Get out of here, what the hell are you looking at!"
The reporters were in a state of high spirits, and were immediately very dissatisfied with being squeezed. However, just as they were about to spit out some foul language, they found that the man in black, who was emitting murderous aura, immediately shut up and obediently stepped aside.
Xu Tengyu took the lead and rushed directly along the gangway to the plane, with sparks and lightning all the way.
Song Hui's agent and the staff around her were all stunned. The agent shouted angrily in Bangzi language, and a group of big men around him lowered their heads, with expressions of anger and shame mixed together, looking very distorted.
While Song Hui's agent was scolding these "partners" from Xia Country, Xu Tengyu finally boarded the plane. He saw Song Hui, who was still showing off her body and had not had time to return to normal, and his face was a little surprised.
Lu Yiming was talking as if he was about to be kidnapped, so why was there a woman here flirting? Was he fascinated by her?
A bald old man saw Xu Tengyu and transferred the anger that Song Hui had suppressed on him to Xu Tengyu: "Who are you? How dare you..."
"Get lost!" Xu Tengyu slapped the bald old man, who almost went into a spiral. He half-lying on the ground, with his fingers raised, looked at Xu Tengyu with grief and anger, sobbing, "How dare you! I am a cultured person..."
Xu Tengyu didn't even bother to pay attention to him. He just stepped on his stomach, strode into the cabin, and came in front of Lu Yiming.
"Damn, weren't you kidnapped?" Xu Tengyu was immediately upset when he saw that Lu Yiming was still fine. "I rushed over here in a hurry, and you're here to pick up girls?"
Lu Yiming was also confused: "Did I say I was kidnapped? I said I was surrounded by a group of slaves."
Xu Tengyu thought about it and felt that this was the case. He immediately felt very unhappy. He turned around and saw the angry Korean agent. He asked, "Who are you?"
