Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Nie Yunsheng saw Boss Pei's statement on Tengda Corporation's official Weibo and knew that everything had been settled. Zheng Hao would never have the chance to make a comeback.

The timing of Boss Pei's Weibo post could be said to be stable, accurate, and ruthless: Not only did he knock Zheng Hao off the cliff, but he also pressed a mountain on it, making him unable to turn the tables for the rest of his life.

On the surface, it looked like Boss Pei's Weibo post was trying to make peace.

First, he expressed his views on the hot searches of his thesis and said that "the thesis was natural and was obtained by chance". Some of the content was indeed what he was thinking, but some of the content was everyone's over-interpretation.

Behind this humility was a strong sense of confidence. It also gave people a very sincere feeling.

Boss Pei finally responded to Zheng Hao's provocation directly.

No matter how Boss Pei responded before the popularity on the internet reached its peak, Zheng Hao would be able to find a reason to fight back.

Boss Pei would definitely not accept the challenge. If he responded to Zheng Hao in a high-profile manner, he would continue to fan the flames until he forced Boss Pei out. If he responded in a low-profile manner, Zheng Hao would publicize that Boss Pei was feeling guilty.

That was because Boss Pei did not have a strong method to fight Zheng Hao back then. Thus, no matter how he expressed his stance, a portion of people would feel guilty.

However, now, the popularity of Boss Pei's thesis had completely surpassed all the popularity that Zheng Hao had painstakingly raised. Boss Pei's Weibo post was no longer meant to make peace, but a declaration after victory.

On the surface, Boss Pei admitted Zheng Hao's words. He also said that he might not be an outstanding graduate and entrepreneur. However, Boss Pei changed the topic and began to kill people's hearts.

Boss Pei said that it was precisely because he was just an ordinary person and did not have any outstanding talents that he could see better and distinguish right from wrong. He did not affect his position because of his resources and wealth.

This sentence was too sharp and stabbed the key to the problem.

What Boss Pei meant was: "You, Zheng Hao, are indeed very outstanding, but so what? When a person's direction is wrong, the more power you exert, the greater the damage."

Zheng Hao was indeed an outstanding graduate and an outstanding entrepreneur, but where was his intelligence used?

They would use it to squeeze their employees dry, desperately expand the platform, achieve a monopoly position, constantly suck blood from the take-out businessmen and customers, and constantly create a behemoth Home Take-Out!

Perhaps these outstanding entrepreneurs had outstanding talents, but as their personal wealth expanded and their influence increased, these people did not realize the social responsibility they were bearing. Instead, they mistakenly thought that the wealth that society gave them was created by themselves.

Thus, they began to move against the trend and pursue the unlimited value of capital. They prided themselves as outstanding people and went completely opposite of ordinary people. They were used to being superior in their wisdom, resources, wealth, and other aspects.

That was exactly what made ordinary people the most angry and unacceptable!

Perhaps these entrepreneurs indeed had outstanding individual abilities, but they could succeed because of the environment and era. They seized the wealth that everyone had created together through some way.

Take the take-out site for example. His success came from the low-level service system supported by all delivery men, the food and beverage resources provided by all businessmen, the program platform written by all programmers who worked overtime 996, the preferences and privacy data of every customer…

The large number of achievements in this should not have belonged to Home Take-Out, much less Zheng Hao. However, the so-called internet innovation allowed Zheng Hao to keep all the achievements for himself. He used this to play capital games and make the entire platform bigger.

Was this fair? Was this reasonable?

On the other hand, Boss Pei was filled with confidence in Zheng Hao's question because Fish-Catching Take-Out did not walk the same path as home take-out.

Fish-Catching Take-Out was actually integrating the interests of the merchants, delivery men, customers, and platforms together. It would also reflect the profits obtained. It was determined to only take the one that the platform should take.

Thus, Boss Pei's words were more like a deep mockery.

Boss Pei did not really think that his intelligence was not as good as Zheng Hao's. He was just saying that he did not care to use these tricks.

That was because even though such intelligence could allow one to obtain a lot of personal wealth, it would cause greater damage to society and the entire industry.

There was no need to be so smart!

Thus, Boss Pei's words were like a well-read scholar shaking his head at a vendor who was playing tricks.

Perhaps a vendor who played smart and scammed could obtain a lot of benefits. However, in the eyes of true wise people, such cleverness was stupid and hopeless.

Nie Yunsheng sighed. He could tell that the more he struggled with Boss Pei, the worse he would lose in the end.

Zheng Hao had completely lost his face this time!

Nie Yunsheng was even a little grateful that Lu Mingliang had been the one to debate with him and not Boss Pei.

Lu Mingliang might be the person-in-charge of the department but he was obviously a reckless person. He was sharp but not sinister enough.

On the other hand, Boss Pei was a great terror that had nowhere to go. You would never know what his next move was, nor would you know when his counterattack would end.

When you were hit off the cliff and thought that everything was over, Boss Pei would lift a few huge rocks and bury you under with a smile, never to be revived!

Nie Yunsheng leaned back in his chair and was speechless for a long time.

After pondering for a long time, Nie Yunsheng called the Vice-President over.

"Call Boss Zheng from Home Take-Out and tell him to calm down and not provoke Boss Pei anymore. Under such conditions, Boss Pei might not have any other tricks to expose. Our losses would only be greater!"

"Also, did you find out about Tengda Corporation's recent new project?"

The Vice-President nodded and said, "Boss Nie, we've found out!"

"Tengda Corporation might produce a new cell phone and game system next month. The project of Thriller Hostel and the zoo will be almost completed."

Nie Yunsheng leaned back in his chair and sighed. "I didn't expect this! Boss Pei is still opening new projects in an orderly manner under such circumstances. It looks like he doesn't take the attack of the Tengda Alliance seriously at all."

"Should I say that Boss Pei is too confident? Or did he underestimate the enemy too much?"

"Since that's the case, let's wait a while more. The current public opinion war can be said to be a complete failure. There's no way to salvage the situation."

"We might as well wait and see. If Tengda Corporation's new project fails and Boss Pei is overwhelmed, we might be able to find some new opportunities."

The Vice-President nodded. "Boss Nie is wise!"

"Do we need to hold another meeting to appease everyone?"

Nie Yunsheng nodded. "Yes."

Repeated setbacks would definitely cause some chaos in the anti-Tengda Alliance.

It was a good thing that the other members companies did not know about the matter with Boqun Media. Otherwise, if these companies knew that Boqun Media had switched sides and was doing well, it would be a huge blow to their morale.

However, even so, Nie Yunsheng had to continue thinking of ways to stabilize the companies against Tengda Alliance.

Nie Yunsheng was also prepared for this.

On one hand, he wanted everyone to calm down and observe the situation, especially when it came to Tengda's game system project next month.

Obviously, this game system project should have been invested with a lot of Boss Pei's hard work. This was also a key step for Tengda Corporation to advance in the game industry.

If Tengda Corporation wanted to become a world-renowned games giant, they would definitely think of ways to cross the threshold of a game machine.

However, how difficult was it to squeeze into the gaming system?

In Nie Yunsheng's opinion, Tengda Corporation was most likely going to fail on this problem. It was not that Tengda was not capable enough, but it was too difficult in this field. There were only two or three companies in the world that could understand it. They were all completely beyond their level.

Once Tengda Corporation failed and Boss Pei's energy was involved, the anti-Tengda Alliance would welcome a new opportunity!

On the other hand, Nie Yunsheng planned to tell everyone.

Even if Tengda really succeeded in the game system, the various projects that followed would also succeed. The anti-Tengda Alliance would really be forced to a dead end. There was no need to worry too much because Nie Yunsheng still had his last resort.

He could not reveal this method for the time being because he was worried that a mole would tell on Tengda Corporation. However, Nie Yunsheng was very sure that even if this last move could not reverse the situation, it would definitely cause serious damage to Tengda Corporation and make both sides suffer!

However, he could not use this last move yet.

They had to wait until Tengda Corporation won steadily and Boss Pei was so happy that he forgot himself before it could show its greatest effect.

…

…

July 5th, Friday.

Pei Qian came to Otto Technologies to check on the development of the new cell phone and new main computer.

According to the previous plan, the news conference for the new cell phone and system units would be held next week. Before that, the cell phone and system units would be ready for mass production.

In fact, these two projects had been completely finalized to Pei Qian. There was not much difference whether he looked at them or not. Even if he was not satisfied and felt that the probability of success was not high, he could not change it.

However, he still had to go through the process.

Pei Qian could at least influence the content of the news conference now. If the popularity of the news conference did not rise, the attention of these two new products would naturally decrease greatly!

In fact, the success of many products depended on news conferences. Products that became popular one day had a mediocre response. The official release stage after the news conference was often lukewarm and quickly died down.

It was time to test Boss Pei's intelligence again.

Until now, the anti-Tengda Alliance had already given up and was completely silent.

Pei Qian was still waiting for Boqun Media to suddenly counterattack. However, no matter how he waited, he did not believe it.

Boqun Media seemed to be determined to stand on Tengda Corporation's side. Not only did they follow Wu Bin's instructions and deeply modify the internal business model and media content, but they also sent messages to support Tengda Corporation several times to attack the anti-Tengda alliance led by Shengyun Express, Home Take-Out, and Home Corporation.

Didn't Wu Bin say that Boqun Media might be a undercover sent by the anti-Tengda Alliance?

This undercover was too professional. He had not been exposed even when the anti-Tengda alliance could not take it anymore.

Pei Qian felt very worried in the face of this situation. He could only shift his attention to the new business and hope that there would be some flaws in the new business. He wanted to reduce its popularity and restore the confidence to fight against Tengda Alliance!
