Chapter 1321 Closing the Company (2)
Zeng Wangcai knew that in order to move things forward, there must be conflict, and the best conflict was a conflict of interest.
Generally speaking, the conflict designed by Zeng Wangcai is the conflict between California Capital headed by Taiji and the capital behind Xiaoke.
No one will easily give up on a company whose market value has exceeded one trillion in such a short period of time.
On a smaller scale, it is an invisible conflict between Duying Technology's thousands of creators, users and the government.
Now, the point of conflict has arrived.
Kurt walked out of Taj's office with a gloomy face, he was a sinister character, he couldn't get the job done, at this moment he wanted to kill Taj directly.
Back in the car, there was no luxurious first class cabin, so Kurt took out his phone and called Andre.
"Are they so tough?" Andre was very unhappy after hearing what Kurt relayed. "Then don't be polite. Don't worry about the rest. I'll do it. You just do it."
"Got it!" Kurt hung up the phone.
That afternoon, the Investigation Bureau, together with multiple departments, entered Duying Technology and began investigating Duying Technology.
The scope of this investigation is so wide that it is simply outrageous. I wish they would even pull out the cockroaches in the toilet and question you.
If other companies or factories were to engage in such activities, they would have stopped operations long ago.
But Duoying Technology is different. It is an emerging company that can operate as long as the machines are there.
Now that Kurt has made a move, it is natural for Taj to accept it.
At this time, Taj was not in the company, so he allowed those people to investigate and went to the home of Davis, the then governor.
Davis is more of an official spokesperson for local forces than the boss of California, while Tye is the private spokesperson for a large number of local forces, including big money donor Yellen.
"David..." In the living room of Davis's house, Taiji called Davis by his nickname affectionately, "You have to do something, right? Are you going to watch the company go bankrupt?"
"Taj, Kurt now represents the president!" Davis shrugged. "After all, we are still in the federal system. We have no way to fight against them. You have gone too far this time and threatened the president's position. Moreover, now is a critical time for the federation to deal with the outside world."
"Hey, listen David, this time is different!" Taiji said, "Duying Technology is different from ordinary companies. It is a company with unlimited potential and vitality. Jim is the most outstanding guy I have ever met. He has too many money-making ideas in his mind. What we are protecting now is not the company, but Jim himself."
This is a fair evaluation of Zeng Wangcai by the California capital community. Zeng Wangcai has proved through his actions that the company is just a shell and his talents are his greatest capital.
"Well, I will hold a press conference and publicly condemn the government's actions," Davis said.
"That's not enough!" Taiji continued, "The next step is to shut down the company. If that happens, the loss will be too great and the stock price will definitely fall."
"Wait a minute!" Davis interrupted, "I remember you said that the core technological advantages of Duying Technology cannot be simulated, and that this platform is fully computer-operated and can operate even without people. And due to technical reasons, its core data equipment is on the island, right?"
"That's right!" Taiji understood Davis's hidden meaning, "You said it. After all, we are in the Federation. If they have a legitimate reason, we can't fight them."
"Reasonable reasons? Haha, nothing is greater than the Constitution."
"Understood......"
In the afternoon, Taj returned to the company. By this time, Kurt had found an excuse and the two confronted each other in the office again.
"Listen, Taiji, I don't want to see things get to this point!" Kurt held a document in his hand, "You have violated the relevant laws. You'd better do what I say, otherwise I will take necessary measures to shut down your company."
"No, no, no!" Taiji smiled and shook his head. "No one can shut down our company. The violation you mentioned does not exist. Everyone knows that we and our users have freedom of speech."
“But you defamed the president.”
"Defamation? First of all, let me correct it. It's not us. We are just a platform. This point should be distinguished. Secondly, what evidence do you have to prove that the videos posted by our users are defamatory? As long as there is no evidence, our users have not violated the law."
"The evidence has been there for a long time. The president's office has already released it. All the previous evidence was just rumors."
"Bullshit, will a statement be effective if it is personally proven by the person involved?"
"What evidence do you have to prove that the person who posted the video was me?"
"..."
The point of contention came to the video released by Xiao Lai. As Zeng Wangcai guessed, the government authorities would use this point to make things clear.
Taiji was speechless and unable to provide evidence.
"Haha!" Kurt sneered and issued an ultimatum, "We will hold a press conference tomorrow morning to announce the result. If you still choose not to change before then, then... you will bear the loss yourself, and there will be subsequent punishment."
Threat, Chi Guoguo's threat.
And it is a very direct and effective threat. First of all, as soon as the press conference starts, the stock price of Duying Technology will definitely fall. Secondly, there will be punishment.
Kurt believed that Taiji could understand, and the subsequent punishment would be a huge fine.
After the two of them finished talking, Kurt just left like he did last time.
The anxiety on Taiji's face disappeared, and he took out his phone and called Zeng Wangcai: "Jim, it's confirmed. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, they will announce this matter to the public, and our company will be closed down."
"No, no, no, it can't be blocked!" Zeng Wangcai laughed, "Have you prepared the money I asked you to prepare?"
"Of course, I won't let this opportunity go."
"That's good. At nine o'clock, the stock price has plummeted. It's time to take back the shares."
When Duying Technology went public, Taiji joined hands with the people behind him to acquire a lot of shares, but a considerable share was still taken away by outside capital.
There is no way around it. Choosing to go public means choosing to be open.
This time, this game is a good opportunity to make a fortune and also allow local California capital to profit.
At nine o'clock the next morning, the Investigation Bureau held a press conference in their office, and Kurt personally served as the spokesperson.
"Regrettably, Duying Technology has violated the law. We have obtained the evidence and we declare that Duying Technology must cease operations and accept a comprehensive inspection. At the same time, I advise users who posted videos on Duying Technology to...
"You must stop reposting and creating videos that defame the President. You have violated the law. We further announce that according to relevant laws: bloggers such as Overeating Knight, Mandela Jackfruit, Ask Soul, etc., you will be charged..."
The action is really ruthless. Not only will they block Duying Technology, but they will also sue the bloggers. Moreover, all the bloggers named by Kutt are big names with more than one million followers.
Before the press conference ended, there was movement in the stock market, and some people began to sell shares of Duoying Technology.
Then, the share price of Dowin Technology, which had hit a record high, began to fall sharply.
