The Great Power of Times

Chapter 385: False news

Views:

Yu Jingqiu has been in China for a while, and Li Zetian basically has a phone call with her every day.

What made Li Zetian unable to do so was that Yu Jingqiu fell in love with the filming of "A Bite of China" and refused to come back no matter how persuaded she was. As we all know Zhou, making a documentary is very hard. The film crew needs to go over mountains and mountains often, and how can her delicate body suffer!

"Dear, it's too hard, come back!" Li Zetian called again to persuade.

"It's not hard at all, don't worry about it!"

"Okay, then you rest early at night, you must be exhausted during the day..." Li Zetian cared.

"Got it~~"

"Well, then I hang up!"

"Um."

The time difference between the western United States and China is about 16 hours. At this moment, it is still daylight on the United States side.

Li Zetian finished the call, put the phone in his trouser pocket, and immediately turned on the computer to browse the e-mails at work.

Since April, blogs and LinkedIn sites have been launched one after another, with the exception of eBay.

The eBay site is an e-commerce site, so it takes a little longer to prepare.

PayPal was on the right track, and Zhou Qiqi took over eBay.

Li Zetian checked the e-mail. On July 15th, the eBay website will be officially launched.

Qiqi's identity itself is the focus of the media. At that time, as long as the news is released before, there will definitely be countless media to help promote it!

Li Zetian returned an email to Qiqi at this time. eBay is an online auction and shopping site, and it is still different from common e-commerce. Press release for publicity!

Not long after the email was sent, Kiki responded with an email: "Brother Zetian, you are amazing! The idea you came up with is really good!!"

Li Zetian replied with a smile: "Come on!"

"Um!!!"

A few days later, news of Kiki's jumping from PayPal to eBay spread like wildfire, causing a huge stir in the industry.

"Fuck, it's true, Zhou Qiqi actually quit? She actually doesn't work under her brother's company name?!"

"What's the situation? PayPal is developing well under her management. How could she change jobs?"

"What kind of company is eBay? It sucks?! It made Chronos Li's sister abandon her brother..."

"Anyone with inside information, tell me, what exactly does eBay do?"

"Damn it, isn't this fake news? Create something out of nothing in order to use Chronos Li's sister for hype?"

"I think it's hype! This eBay company is too shameless!"

"… "

As soon as the gossip spread, the media moved.

Downstairs at PayPal, dozens of reporters stood guard. If the security didn't let them into the building, they would have rushed in long ago.

"We must interview Zhou Qiqi this time. What caused her to abandon her brother's business and work for another company!"

"Could it be that eBay Inc. is also Chronos Li's business?" speculated a tall reporter.

A middle-aged blond man shook his head and said: "I don't think it's possible, I heard that eBay seems to be an e-commerce website. As everyone knows, Amazon was founded by Chronos Li, how could he create another e-commerce website? company?"

When the reporters next to him heard this, they nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, Belloc's analysis is in place! It shouldn't be possible for Chronos Li to create two e-commerce companies. Is it difficult for these two companies to compete against each other and consume resources? No smart businessman would do this!"

"Yes, eBay should have been created by someone else. However, I really can't figure out why Zhou Qiqi jumped from PayPal!"

A potbellied reporter smiled and said, "Hey, is it possible that the founder of eBay is Zhou Qiqi's boyfriend?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone around laughed.

"Thomas, your imagination is really admirable!"

The potbellied reporter said with a little pride: "Hehe, I have already thought about the title and content of tomorrow's press release - "The world's richest man Chronos Li's sister abandons her brother and joins her boyfriend's company"!!! Hehe, what do you think of writing this way?!"

"Hey Thomas, I have to say, journalism really suits you!!"

"Yes, Thomas, you are a genius!"

"… "

Thomas was just joking, but seeing that everyone admired his idea, Thomas suddenly felt that this was a really good idea, alas, I really regret saying it, let the reporters know it, maybe they will come back when they go back. Copying your own ideas? oh damn...

Thomas smoked, annoyed,

From day to night, Zhou Qiqi never came down from the PayPal company building.

The reporters' legs are numb!

"Zhou Qiqi must have gone from somewhere else, and we can't interview anyone, so we can only go home!"

"Oh, what a waste of a day!"

"Shine, go home and rest, I'm so fucking exhausted!"

"Hey Thomas, I'm looking forward to seeing your newspaper tomorrow! Do you really dare to write that?" a reporter with glasses shouted at Thomas.

Thomas laughed and said, "You remember to buy a newspaper tomorrow!"

Unscrupulous reporters, unscrupulous newspapers, what dare not write.

When Thomas got home, he immediately began to write straight, and he wrote four or five hundred words in less than ten minutes!

The press release was then sent to the newspaper!

When the editor-in-chief saw it, his eyes lit up, and he praised Thomas!

Yes, it's interesting!

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper immediately decided to make Thomas's article the headline of the next day.

The next day, the newspaper came out.

Thomas went to the newsstand, flipped through the other papers, and then cursed.

"Mad, sure enough, quite a few newspapers actually copied my ideas. I'm really pissed! I have to ask them for royalties!"

The owner of the newsstand smiled and said: "Hey, sir, do you want to buy a newspaper? Big news! "The world's richest man Chronos Li's sister abandons her brother and joins her boyfriend's company". The company she wants to join is also an e-commerce company called eBay, this is going to compete with her brother's Amazon! Hey, sir, get a newspaper, I promise, it's amazing, it'll blow your mind!!!"

"Not buying!"

Thomas threw down the newspaper and left, cursing: "Buy some wool, that's my idea!"

The voice was so low that only he could hear what it was.

Before noon, many newspapers for entertainment and gossip were sold out.

These fake news are flying all over the sky, causing a sensation in the United States for a while!

Even the most authoritative and serious media could not help reprinting the articles of the bad reporter Thomas.

Li Zetian shook his head ironically after reading the newspaper.

Zhou Qiqi looked slightly embarrassed after reading the newspaper, her cheeks stained with a blush.

"Hmph, how can these newspapers write such nonsense! It's out of nothing, fabricating scandals! Especially this Thomas reporter is really bad, he has no professionalism at all!" Kiki said angrily, "How could I abandon my brother? , eBay is obviously my brother's company!"

The American public is very fond of these news. They like to watch the embarrassing events between celebrities and celebrities. It seems that celebrities make a fool of themselves, and they are satisfied.

The fake news fabricated by Thomas quickly spread all over the Internet, causing countless online names!

But in any case, the eBay website has not been officially released, but it is already extremely famous!

A few days later, eBay held a press conference, and Zhou Qiqi personally admitted to switching from PayPal to serve as CEO of eBay. But he did not answer whether it was because he abandoned his brother and joined her boyfriend's company.

As soon as the news came out, it naturally shocked the United States!

It was just gossip before, and many people thought it was fabricated by entertainment newspapers and was not credible. But Zhou Qiqi personally admitted to changing jobs, which was enough to cause a sensation.

So, since job-hopping is true, is it true that you abandon your brother and join her boyfriend's company

Many people re-opened the newspaper written by reporter Thomas a few days ago and felt that it was very credible!

More people are following eBay, and the topic of discussion has grown tremendously.

Countless netizens even scolded Zhou Qiqi with words, and the scolding was terrible!

When Zhou Qiqi saw the comments of these netizens, her face flushed with anger, and she felt extremely wronged.

"Brother, you see that the netizens are scolding me. Hurry up and announce that eBay is also your company, please!" Zhou Qiqi couldn't help calling Li Zetian and said.

"Okay! I'll have someone hold a press conference immediately to clarify for you, and cooperate with you!" Li Zetian nodded in response.

Many things, netizens do not know the truth of the facts, they are easily influenced by public opinion, one-sidedly think that what they see is right, and then incarnate as keyboard warriors, scolding, I do not know the so-called nonsense!

As the so-called "three people become tigers"!

Well, it's really scary that a fake can be scolded as real!

Li Zetian didn't want Zhou Qiqi to be hurt, so he agreed to Zhou Qiqi's request.

Although he can continue to hype eBay with this public opinion, he does not want to do so.

So, Li Zetian appeared in front of reporters that day, scolding bad reporters and false reports from bad newspapers, eBay is actually his business, Zhou Qiqi is still single, and has no boyfriend! The reason why Zhou Qiqi jumped ship is because PayPal is on the right track, and Zhou Qiqi wants a more challenging job!

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, the reporters were stunned.

Then, Li Zetian said righteously that he would sue the reporter Thomas and his newspaper for fabricating fake news and causing certain mental harm to the parties!

"It's over, Thomas is over! This guy is so stupid that he dares to spread rumors about Chronos Li and his relatives. Isn't this courting death?"

"Yeah, Thomas is hopeless and too courageous! The British "Sun" slandered CHronos Li before, but what happened? "The Sun" is gone!"

"Hey, some people can't do anything in order to be successful, to be famous, and to be grandstanding! They hit the iron plate, and they're going to die!"

"… "

Thomas watched Li Zetian's press conference on TV, and his face was pale with cold sweat dripping from his back.

He panicked and regretted it!

The newspaper office where he works has been in a state of turmoil, and countless employees have submitted their resignations and packed their things.

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper office had dull eyes and murmured, "How could it be like this? American entertainment newspapers often make articles about Chronos Li and make up all kinds of scandals, but I don't see him caring..."

The editor-in-chief looked at the court summons on the table and wanted to cry without tears!

For Li Zetian, of course, Li Zetian doesn't care if the newspapers make up scandals about him and female stars, but if the newspapers hurt his family, Li Zetian will not let him go!

Therefore, Li Zetian will definitely punish bad reporters and newspapers!

Perhaps it was because Li Zetian hadn't shown his power for too long, and the newspapers thought Li Zetian was easy to provoke, so these entertainment newspapers gradually became more courageous.

This time, I'll tell them to see clearly, the tigers don't show their power and think I'm a sick cat, don't you dare to write nonsense? !

The lawsuits between Li Zetian, Zhou Qiqi and Thomas and the newspapers were agitated.

eBay's exposure is also greatly increased!

It will soon be July 15th, and countless people are looking forward to the official release of the eBay website.

As soon as the website was released, the number of visits was amazing, and the number of registered users continued to climb!

Discovering that the eBay website is actually an online auction and shopping website, countless netizens were surprised and curious, feeling very novel, and at the same time began to try to trade!

On the first day, the eBay website completed more than 30,000 transactions!

The eBay website is very easy to fire, and its popularity is not as good as the Amazon website. Many Wall Street venture capital institutions have assessed the market value of eBay companies, all of which exceed 1 billion US dollars.

Goldman Sachs: "If eBay agrees to invest, I'd value it at $1 billion!"

Sequoia Capital: “Even though eBay was released on the first day, its traffic can be ranked in the top ten websites! Sequoia Capital is very willing to invest in eBay, and its valuation is set at 1.2 billion US dollars!”

De Fengjie: "De Fengjie is willing to value eBay at $1.5 billion!!!"

"… "

Seeing that so many venture capital institutions are so sought after by eBay, this can not help but make other Internet companies envy and hate!

"Alas, the eBay website has only been released on the first day. There are so many venture capital companies wanting to invest in it, and they have offered such good conditions. People are more popular than people!" The CEO of an Internet company shook his head and sighed.

"Yeah, the gap is too big! For ordinary Internet companies, even if they develop for a few months, a venture capital company only needs to spend a few million dollars to obtain at least 20% of the company's shares, and many have Probably more than half of the shares! But look at eBay again, alas, it's really disgusting, it's so unfair!"

"No way, this is the reality! If the owner of eBay is not Chronos Li, even if the popularity is as hot as it is now, there is no way that the company's market value will reach more than 1 billion US dollars on the first day of the website's launch! "

"Well, these VCs are looking at Chronos Li."

"It's true. Chronos Li is so awesome and has achieved so much success. If I were the boss of a venture capital firm, I would do the same! Investing in Chronos Li's company will never lose money!"

"… "

PS: Happy National Day! !
