Chapter 496: V378: Counterattack is awesome 6666666
Fengyi Building, in a suite across from the Golden Emperor International Hotel Building.Liang Shiman stood with her arms folded, coldly watching everything opposite and sneering.
At this moment, reporters, media, television stations, and vehicles started blocking the entrance of Fengyi one by one. It’s almost 9:30, and once working hours begin, the relevant personnel might find it impossible to avoid being confronted!
Furthermore, the longer the matter drags on, the worse its nature is bound to become.
As long as Feng Chengjin and the others cannot promptly resolve these issues... once the Nasdaq in the United States opens tomorrow night... just drag it out for two more days until Gu Qingfeng’s matters are definitely nailed down with a confession...
Liang Shiman’s eyes were sinister, her lips curled into a cold half-smile, and the resentment in her heart grew wildly like thorns, spreading.
Feng Chengjin, oh Feng Chengjin, who asked you to go against me? You even set such a big trap for me! You made me hand over my power to the police station!
Now it’s all good.
I’ll just see how capable you are at handling the imminent stock plunge? And, how you’ll explain to the woman you love about her father being sent to prison by your own testimony, hahahaha...
Liang Shiman’s sneering was so intense it sent chills down the spine.
The commanding tall figure was intimidating and chilling.
Behind her, after gathering some information, Song Pingjun, who narrowly escaped trouble yesterday for dropping off Gu Zixuan, walked in. Upon observing his cousin’s state, he hesitated slightly.
Song Pingjun did not speak up.
After a pause, Liang Shiman, hearing footsteps, turned her head, gave a cold smile, and took the initiative to ask about the situation, "How is it? Have the Fengyi executives and vice-presidents arrived?"
"Two have arrived, but their cars are stuck in traffic at the CBD tunnel entrance. It’ll probably take some effort for them to get here. Director Wang from Fengyi’s public relations department has arrived first, however..."
Recalling the peculiar intuition from earlier while tailing them to the garage, Song Pingjun felt something wasn’t right, stopping mid-sentence.
Then his cousin’s eyes slightly brightened as she said, "They’re coming out!"
She walked to the window.
Song Pingjun followed the bright floor-to-ceiling window to look down and indeed saw Wang Yikun coming out from inside Fengyi Company after parking the car.
In his navy blue suit paired with a white shirt, Wang Yikun was tall and striking, as if Fengyi was a center gathering top-quality bachelor men. From Feng Chengjin to a series of executives, all had excellent appearances.
Moreover, Fengyi was jokingly referred to as a dream paradise for women choosing a spouse internally.
But usually, that’s all well and good.
Today, in this situation! Such good spirits, meticulously styled hair, polished shoes, and neatly adjusted ties made Song Pingjun frown even more.
Originally intending just to see how the Fengyi executives would look all despondent and anxious handling the scene, Liang Shiman, also taking a deeper look, noticed this executive seemed too unperturbed, feeling something was amiss.
So, Liang Shiman activated the earphone on her ear, "Chen An, get in close and listen to the scene!"
On the other end, the person sent early replied, "Okay."
And mingled into the crowd near the door.
...
At Fengyi’s entrance.
Having dealt with the industry and media for so many years, although not very old, Wang Yikun had already developed the mind of an old pro. Scanning the scene, he could tell who were genuine media, who came to watch the spectacle, and who were there to gather information.
Thus, he discreetly stood a little closer to the information-gatherers.
Wang Yikun gave a slight smile and began proactively accepting interviews from the reporters.
"I know everyone has many questions now. In fact, I’ve just arrived and only heard about the situation on the way here, so I have many questions too. But don’t worry, we can take them one by one. Fengyi is a people-oriented, open company and a platform for defending rights and free speech. As the Public Relations Director of Fengyi Company, I guarantee to answer every question to the best of my knowledge and abilities, fully and frankly, fairly and transparently, honestly without fabricating. However, given the chaotic scene, I implore all media friends, considering we have long-standing partnerships with Fengyi, to assist in maintaining order, move cars that need moving, line up where necessary, avoid crowding, don’t step on others’ feet, and maintain order in the venue while asking questions and speaking."
With his politeness, the media members on site, who were anxiously waiting for the truth, calmed down a bit. They glanced at their cars parked hastily and messily on Fengyi’s parking lot, the road by Fengyi’s gate, showing that they would rather risk a parking ticket from traffic police to secure a spot, making the already crowded scene even more chaotic.
Everyone exchanged glances and began moving to reorganize the space and line up in an orderly manner on site.
This kind of authority and influence, first and foremost, embarrassed those who came to watch the spectacle, realizing that a big company is indeed a big company. Even a starvling camel is larger than a horse, and such reporters, if placed in other companies, wouldn’t bother with so much procedure, just start their aggressive questioning right away!
Onlookers marveled at the dignity and aura of a large company like Fengyi, showing just how different they truly are!
Across, Liang Shiman and Song Pingjun’s expressions turned colder, with a slight tugging at their hearts.
Meanwhile, on site.
First, the breaking of the tense standoff and chaotic mess at Fengyi’s entrance, next, during the question-and-answer session, Wang Yikun, already graceful and filled with confidence, now seemed even more composed and smiled a knowing glance at the ones gathering information.
He lazily said, "Alright, now everyone may ask questions."
The tone was not like it was pressed upon by inquiries at all, more like a proud announcement at a press conference.
Feeling something subtly different, Liang Shiman and Song Pingjun’s faces turned even colder.
Yet, it seemed that Wang Yikun might indeed have come to boast this time.
Because, facing the reporters’ tricky questions, "Hello, Director Wang, we want to ask, have you seen this morning’s newspaper? Given that Fengyi, which has grown through the internet and claims to have tens of thousands of patented technologies, is now being exposed as having plagiarized from small companies, and furthermore, Changhong, Anji, Sheng Jun, Bo Lan, and other internet companies have gone bankrupt in recent years, rumored to be a result of your improper means after plagiarizing these small companies to drive them out of the market, what is your view on this?"
Wang Yikun lazily smiled, shook his head, and said, "What is this talk? How did it become plagiarism? And who released this information?"
"Director Wang, regardless of who released this information, you promised to speak frankly, I believe the public is eager to know, please tell us the truth!"
Wang Yikun nodded, said okay, glanced inside the company, and soon, after some staff brought out a series of certificate-like documents, Wang Yikun loudly declared, "First, I do not know why such news broke out today, but please recognize a fact that the Changhong, Anji, Sheng Jun, Bo Lan, and Jushan companies mentioned here, although bankrupt in the past two years, have overlapping business and similar products with our Fengyi Company. Even though their products were brought to market before ours, what is plagiarism? Isn’t it considered plagiarism if the latter appears after the former? But the longest-established Changhong in these was only founded in 2011. On the surface, it seems we copied them, but our patented technology was applied for in 2010 and has passed international certification."
He lifted a hand to show a series of certificates.
Immediately, the scene erupted in astonishment, so it was like this! Flash bulbs burst incessantly as they photographed collectively.
Wang Yikun further said, "Is it just because we at Fengyi like to refine our products diligently and take time due to our project cycle, avoiding a fast-food approach, and our commercial technology was illegitimately stolen that our patents should be credited to others, and we falsely accused of plagiarism? Isn’t this too unfair? Moreover, we didn’t get bogged down in their plagiarism activities, simply competed reasonably through the market, enabled users to choose, and ultimately reclaimed our market share. Should such actions still be wrongly accused?"
Suddenly, the crowd was full of praises, feeling deeply that Fengyi is indeed different from other leading domestic internet companies, exemplifying an extraordinary stature and comportment in their actions.
The scene was full of admiration.
Amidst that subtle, alternative fury.
Someone couldn’t hold it any longer and said, "Excuse me, Director Wang, we’d like to ask, during the early morning’s newspaper, they mentioned your company, which built its path through the internet boasting tens of thousands of patented technologies, yet now it’s exposed that many are plagiarized from small companies. Even more, they say Changhong, Anji, Sheng Jun, Bo Lan, and other internet companies, went bankrupt in recent years, claimed to be forced out of the market by unscrupulous means after you plagiarized them. What is your view on this?"
Upon identifying who was the media bought by the opposing side, instead of showing any anger, Wang Yikun merely remembered the media’s name with a subtle remembrance and then "admiringly" glanced at them, saying, "Good question!"
The questioner was taken aback.
Wang Yikun then finally said softly, "Because Shanyu International had a cash flow problem. In 2014, they came to us, and at that time, they found us to propose something. Our company opened a new department to them with a salary higher than their original company profits. Now two years have passed, their new project is also about to be launched. Today, as all you media friends are here, let them unveil their new products to you?"
