Roland Maas did not expect that Li Mu would be so cautious in private meetings.
It stands to reason that young people are very popular, especially young people like Li Mu who have made great achievements, so they are even more arrogant. Now that I am showing weakness to him and begging him not to target Mars anymore, according to common sense, Li Mu should After these words, hit the snake and follow the rod.
Roland Maas' words that seemed to admit defeat actually buried a big hole for Li Mu.
In his opinion, when he said "please show me your noble hand", with Li Mu's domineering and strong character, he should have said something like "because of your sincerity, let's forget it this time", or say "please" I'm so arrogant? Who do you think you are?" and the like.
No matter which one of the two it is, as long as Li Mu speaks out, it proves that Li Mu has admitted in disguise his suppression of Mars.
However, Li Mu did not fall for the trick, and instead pretended to be confused.
Li Mu didn't know what kind of tricks Roland Maas was up to. Larry Page once traveled halfway across the world to beg him for mercy. At that time, Li Mu was upright and disclosed all his conspiracy in front of Larry Page. It was so clear that it scared Larry Page and the entire Google shareholders to give up.
Since it was a conspiracy, Li Mu didn't care at all how many people would know about it, even if the whole world knew that he wanted to blackmail Google.
However, although Roland Mars has now come to China to apologize like Larry Page, behind this is a conspiracy carefully designed by Li Mu for Mars.
Since it was a conspiracy, Li Mu subconsciously felt that he had to be more careful, even in his own office, so he couldn't take it lightly.
Roland Maas wanted to plot against Li Mu, but he didn't know that Li Mu was also plotting against him. Seeing that Li Mu was extremely cautious, he couldn't help but change his approach and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, to tell the truth, we do We should not shirk the responsibility for missing the auction on Makino Technology in front of the media. This matter is entirely our Mars’ responsibility, and it is also my fault in management. Here, on behalf of all members of the Mars board of directors, I apologize to you!”
Li Mu smiled slightly and said deliberately politely: "Oh, Mr. Mas, you see what you said, this kind of thing can be done with just a phone call. Why go all the way to China?"
Roland Maas's expression was stagnant, he looked at Li Mu and said in surprise: "Mr. Li, didn't you say you wanted me to bear the burden of my sin?"
Li Mu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mr. Mas, asking for forgiveness is an idiom in China. Although such a story really happened in history, later generations only used this idiom to describe sincere apology."
Roland Maas said helplessly: "Mr. Li, I am not Chinese and don't know much about Chinese culture. I thought you really wanted me to come and apologize, so I came here specially."
Li Mu said with an indifferent expression: "Mr. Mas, in the final analysis, the bidding matter is just a small matter. You and I don't need to worry too much about it. It will be over as soon as it is settled. There is no need to go through this trouble."
Roland Maas despises Li Mu in his heart. In his opinion, Li Mu is really the most hypocritical person in the world. At first, he was so angry that he had to come to China to apologize to him. Now that all his people are here, he To say such a thing is simply shameless.
However, Roland Mars did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and hurriedly answered: "Mr. Li is open-minded and admirable. I hope we can get over this not-so-good chapter. I also hope that Mars and Makino Technology can make peace with each other in the future." There is no grievance and deep cooperation.”
Li Mu nodded without hesitation and said sincerely: "Absolutely!"
Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Roland Maas brought the topic back again, looked at Li Mu with an affirmative look, and said: "Mr. Li, since Weibo and Twitter banned our official account, we have lost a person to promote ourselves to the outside world. We have also suffered a lot of losses from self-media channels and keyword blocking on Weibo and Twitter. In addition, there are also negative news intentionally released by Weibo and Twitter. These have brought us too much pressure, so I still implore Mr. Li to restore our official account and deal with those false rumors."
After Roland Maas finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu expectantly, looking forward to his answer.
Li Mu looked at Roland Maas at this time. For some reason, he always felt that Roland Maas's expression was a bit nervous.
Li Mu didn't pay attention, but continued his performance and said with a smile: "Mr. Mars, since you held a press conference on behalf of Mars and publicly admitted your mistakes and expressed your apology to Makino Technology, then your official Your account can be restored at any time, don’t worry about that.”
Roland Maas nodded hurriedly, and then asked: "Mr. Li, can the negative news issue be resolved?"
At this point, Roland Maas decided not to go around and around with Li Mu, and went straight to the point: "Mr. Li, Weibo and Twitter have been blocking all Mars keywords before. Whether it is us or ordinary netizens, as long as they have been published containing Posts with Mars content will be deleted or hidden immediately, but there is only one false article that slanders Mars, which can always bypass all blocked keywords and be displayed without being affected at all. This brings great harm to our reputation. It has had a huge impact, so I sincerely ask you to help stop the use of this algorithm so that Mars can gradually restore its reputation.
After listening to what Roland Maas said, Li Mu deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "Mr. Maas, I have never heard of this matter you are talking about."
Roland Mars naturally knew that Li Mu was pretending to be confused, so he hurriedly pleaded with sincerity: "Mr. Li, this matter has had a huge negative impact on Mars, and I hope you can help solve it." Thank you very much!"
Li Mu smiled and nodded, and said: "Mr. Mas, you don't have to be so polite. We are all friends. I will definitely help with this little matter. I will arrange for someone to check it later to see if it really looks like this." As you said, if it is, we will definitely find a way to solve it."
When Roland Maas heard this, he felt happy. No matter what, he was here to solve the problem. The first priority was to solve the problem, and the second was to find some excuse for Li Mu. If Li Mu could really solve the problem, The resolution of the negative news issue will be a great thing for Mars.
Just when Roland Maas was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Li Mu suddenly spoke again: "Mr. Maas, having said that, Weibo is a very open and fair network platform, and every user has the right to publish Their own opinions, so users have the right to praise you and the right to criticize you, don’t you think so?”
Roland Maas did not expect that Li Mu would suddenly change his face and said hurriedly: "Mr. Li, users can criticize Mars, but the criticism must be based on evidence, otherwise it would not be slander!"
Li Mu nodded and said seriously: "That's true. There must be evidence for criticism, otherwise it will be libel."
"That's right!" Roland Maas said with indignation at the side, "It's libel!"
Li Mu showed a harmless smile at this time and said: "Mr. Mas, defamation is a crime. Logically speaking, it should be defined and prosecuted by law enforcement agencies. In the end, I am just a platform, and I am not from any country. Court, how am I qualified to care whether others have committed defamation or not?"
Roland Maas didn't expect that Li Mu would suddenly show up like this, and he was immediately speechless when he asked a question.
Seeing that Roland Maas was stunned, Li Mu deliberately asked him: "Mr. Maas, someone is slandering you everywhere. You should go to court to sue. Don't you think it's strange that you come to me?"
Roland Maas looked at Li Mu's extremely serious look and was furious. He naturally knew in his heart that those negative news were deliberately released by Weibo and Twitter, and maybe they were even secretly manipulated by Li Mu. However, Li Mu Suddenly responding to myself with such an answer felt like a hard punch to cotton.
So, Roland Mars had no choice but to say: "Mr. Li, most of these rumors appear on Weibo and Twitter. We have every reason to believe that this is a deliberate smear campaign against Mars. I hope you can out of your A sense of justice, to restore Mars’ innocence.”
Li Mu smiled and said, "I have read the article you mentioned, which lists many cases of problems with Mars products. I would like to ask Mr. Mars, are the cases in the article true or false?"
"This..." Roland Mars looked at Li Mu awkwardly and said ambiguously: "Those are some unrepresentative isolated incidents. In fact, the qualification rate of our Mars products has always been at the forefront of the industry."
Li Mu spread his hands and said: "Mr. Mas, what I do is just a platform for everyone's online interaction and entertainment. As for what the users on the platform say, I can't control it, and I have no right to ask. Do you think the hotel has the right to control it?" At what time do your customers do that kind of thing, with whom, and in what postures?"
Roland Mars couldn't help but feel a little impatient when he saw that Li Mu had guarded this matter. Putting aside the recorder in his pocket, his most important thing this time was to persuade Li Mu and solve Mars' current big problem. However, he had already surrendered to Li Mu, but Li Mu was unwilling to help Mars solve the problem, which was a bit unacceptable to him.
So, Roland Maas couldn't help but said: "Mr. Li, I came all the way to express my apology, shouldn't you also express a little sincerity?"
Li Mu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Mas, let's put this matter aside for now. I have several internal materials here, and there are some problems in each of them. I am worried that I can't find a good solution. You are well-informed and have so many years of experience in leading Mars, would you like to take a look and give me some advice?"
Roland Maas immediately sat up straight and said, "Mr. Li, as long as you can show some sincerity, I will do my best."
Li Mu smiled slightly, handed some of the prepared materials to Roland Maas, and said with a smile: "Mr. Maas, look, this is the earliest public welfare project I did, called 3321. Recently, this project has A little question, we want to encourage college students across the country to use their holidays to teach in remote areas, but we don’t want them to simply waste their energy, so we hope to provide them with enough benefits to support them; at the same time, we also hope to build more new buildings in remote areas. teaching building, but you also know that our 3321 is a non-profit organization, so we don’t have extra money to improve the benefits for teaching students. This part of the funding gap is at least 10 to 20 million US dollars. What do you think I should do?"
After Li Mu finished speaking, he looked at Roland Maas with a smile on his face, looking forward to his answer...
Roland Maas looked at Li Mu's ulterior smile, and then he understood what kind of medicine Li Mu was selling in his gourd.
In the beginning, Mars was trying to blackmail Li Mu, but now, it's Li Mu who wants to blackmail Mars!
Sorry everyone, I just became a father these days and have been busy in the hospital. I can’t keep up with the updates. I’m really sorry!
