Chapter 266 Incompetent and Furious
Wang Xing put down the phone with a thoughtful expression.
After all, his family runs a cement factory. Almost all cement in a prefecture-level city is supplied by his family's factory, and he is considered a somewhat famous entrepreneur in the local area. He has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he knows very well that if the money is not paid in business, it is never easy to get the money back.
So Wang Xing can feel that things will definitely not be as simple as Zhang Wei said. Maybe there will be a series of more games behind the things.
Seeing Wang Xing put down the phone, his companion immediately asked: "How is it? What did Zhang Wei say? When will the money arrive?"
"Zhang Wei said that the funds have encountered some troubles and have been frozen by the financial regulatory agencies. They cannot get through it for the time being." Wang Xing briefly stated the reasons Zhang Wei said.
“Real or fake? I went to Germany to watch the World Cup, and even bought Italy to win the championship. Why does it sound so mysterious to me!”
“Isn’t this Zhang Wei not willing to pay? , I deliberately found an excuse to deceive you!”
“I don’t think it’s true. Even if he can win the Italian championship, he won’t be able to earn one million euros! If the odds are better than 13, then he has to buy a lottery ticket worth nearly 80,000 euros. Who would buy so much?"
Everyone expressed doubts, and Wang Xing added: "After all, Zhang Wei is from Tsinghua University! Junior brother, you shouldn’t lie about this kind of thing!”
Another person said: "If he really won so much money, it will definitely be reported in the foreign news. Just wait, I will search on Google!"
After a while, this person held a mobile phone. The laptop came in.
"I actually found relevant news. What Zhang Wei said may be true!"
He placed the laptop on the table, and everyone immediately gathered around.
This is a British media report, reprinted from a German media.
Several people present were graduates from prestigious schools, either majoring in electrical engineering or computer science. They had at least CET-6 in English and could understand this English report.
"Mr. Zhang, a tourist from China, bought Italy to win the championship at odds of 1 to 13 and won a bonus of tens of millions of euros! Mr. Zhang, could it be Zhang Wei!"
< br>"It's a pity that there are no photos in the news, only text. Otherwise, we can confirm whether it is Zhang Wei."
"Is this news written wrong? Isn't it one million euros?" Why is it 10 million euros?”
“That one million euros is Zhang Wei’s investment. He made 10 million euros, can’t he invest one million euros in us?”
"Ten million euros is equivalent to 100 million yuan. Oh my God, how old is Zhang Wei? He is actually a billionaire! You really can't tell a person's face!"
"Since he already has 100 million yuan , he shouldn’t owe us these millions! It seems that what he said about the funds being temporarily frozen should be true.”
A group of people instantly dispelled their doubts.
......
In the blink of an eye, another two weeks have passed, and the second payment has not yet arrived. At this time, the pressure on the school network server has increased dramatically. From 6 to 9 p.m. every day, During the peak period of user login, the web page may freeze.
Moreover, the number of users is still increasing rapidly, and with it, more and more data needs to be stored and processed. If this continues, the server may not be able to handle it, and the entire website will be on the verge of collapse.
The operation team of Xiaonei.com finally couldn't sit still. Wang Xing had no choice but to call Zhang Wei again and urged Zhang Wei to send money quickly.
“Brother, my funds haven’t been unfrozen yet!” Zhang Wei responded calmly.
“You said last time that you asked the German tax authorities to issue a certificate, but haven’t you issued one yet?” Wang Xing asked anxiously.
“The certificate has been issued, but the financial regulatory authorities still have to verify it. I also called to urge you, and they said they were verifying it. I urged you harder, because they just said your hundreds of thousands Euros are nothing, they have hundreds of millions of funds waiting for review
Others can wait for tens of millions, why can't you wait for hundreds of thousands? The regulatory authorities said this, and I really can’t say much more. I have no other choice but to wait. "Zhang Wei said in a rather helpless tone.
"But our school network can't wait any longer. Nowadays, during peak hours every day, the server is under great pressure, and the data to be processed is still increasing. The school network must expand the server. We have already negotiated with the server and broadband suppliers and are just waiting for the funds to arrive. "
"If you just hold on a little longer, maybe the financial regulatory authorities will let you go in two or three days! "Zhang Wei's tone is still very dynamic.
"It's not that we can't persist, but the carrying capacity of the server has its limit after all. It's all working days recently, so the situation is okay, but I'm worried about the holidays. When there are so many people online, I'm worried that the server won't be able to bear it and the website will crash. "Wang Xing continued.
"Your worries are also possible. When I was doing web games, I also found that on weekends and holidays, there were more people online, and there was indeed pressure on the server and broadband. . ”
"So, junior brother, you'd better get your second fund as soon as possible, otherwise I'm really worried that I won't be able to hold on." Wang Xing continued to advise.
"Okay, I'll call again later to see when the funds will be approved." Zhang Wei agreed.
......
A few days later on Saturday, during the Internet peak period at 8pm, the school network received the largest wave of traffic in the future. The server was instantly overloaded, and the result was user carding. I can't even take a photo.
Early the next morning, Wang Xing called directly. This time he did not mention money, but wanted to treat Zhang Wei to dinner. He obviously planned to settle the matter at the wine table. become.
Zhang Wei did not shirk and readily agreed.
But before going to the appointment, he first called Yao Xiaoguang.
"It's this big weekend, I finally slept in, and I was woken up by you again." Yao Xiaoguang was getting angry and continued: "Tell me, what's the matter? If it's not serious. , I'll hang up the phone right away!"
"Brother Xiaoyao, it must be business to disturb your dream. The person on the school network who invited me to dinner must be here to collect money. You can help me then. As a favor, put on a bad face!" Zhang Wei said.
"How to pretend?" Yao Xiaoguang said and yawned.
"At that time, I said, borrow two million from Weiguang Technology to Xiaonei Network first, and then pay it back later. Then you complained directly, saying that the Happy Farm developed before was not online on Xiaonei Network, so it was not given to Weiguang Technology To save face, I’ll be on speakerphone at that time. Try to be more serious!”
“This is clearly an offending job! Why don’t you do it yourself?”
"You're not familiar with Wang Xing and the others, so you're bound to offend someone! I can't help but feel embarrassed!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"Okay! Before you go to the dinner, send me a text message so that I can be prepared." Yao Xiaoguang agreed.
In the evening, Zhang Wei came to a private room of a certain hotel. Wang Xing and several partners had been waiting for a long time. There were two bottles of Wuliangye on the table. It seemed that Wang Xing had spent a lot of money and planned to have good wine and good food. Waiting, let's have a round of battle, and accompany Zhang Wei under the wine table.
Fortunately, Zhang Wei is from Jiaodong, where beer is drunk as water. When it comes to drinking, he is really not shy at all. If they really drank openly, Zhang Wei could drink down a whole table of Wang Xings by himself.
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Xing finally talked about funds while his mind was still clear.
"Junior brother, you really help me this time! If your funds don't come back, our server will really not be able to support it. If nothing else, just last night, the server It has already crashed once and I can't even browse the web page. If this happens again, the school network will be destroyed!" Wang Xing said with a hint of drunkenness.
Everyone also looked at Zhang Wei, looking forward to Zhang Wei's answer.
Zhang Wei smiled slightly, pretending to be drunk, and said: "Senior brother, what you said is out of control. Your business is my business. Isn't it just money? It's easy to talk about. ! When the regulatory authorities unblock my funds, I will call you for the second and third batches of funds!”
"Mr. Zhang, the problem is that we really can't wait any longer! If we don't add more servers, the website will no longer be able to operate." A person next to him said.
“This is the financial regulatory department, and the work efficiency is too low!” Zhang Wei pretended to be angry and slammed the table.
"Junior brother, don't be angry. Why don't you think about it and see if there is any other way. First raise some funds and call us to solve our urgent need." Wang Xing said.
“Other funds are not euros, but RMB.” Zhang Wei replied.
“What else can I choose at this time? Money is all that matters!” a person next to me said immediately. However, Wang Xing glared at him, then silently stopped and sat back.
Zhang Weize continued: "This is what I think. In my own name, I borrowed two million yuan from Weiguang Technology for you to use first. When the money from Europe is remitted, I will borrow the two million yuan for you." Come on."
"That's great. With these two million, it will be enough for us to upgrade our servers and broadband. Even if we add another ten million users, it will be more than enough." Wang Xing was immediately happy.
“But, Weiguang Technology is not my decision. Although I am the major shareholder of Weiguang Technology, the CEO of the company is Mr. Yao, and all the affairs of the company are under his control. Borrowing money from Weiguang Technology must be approved by Mr. Yao.”
“Mr. Zhang, look at what you said. Everyone knows that you are the boss of Weiguang Technology and Yao always works for you. , As long as you speak, how could Mr. Yao not listen?" Someone next to him said immediately.
Zhang Wei explained: "This situation is similar to your school network. I invested a lot of money in your school network, right? If I want to borrow money from your school network, I have to go through your school network. Approved?
In modern enterprises, investors only pay dividends and have nothing to do with operations. And borrowing money from the company has to go through the finance department, right? If the CEO does not approve it, the financial hurdle will not be passed. Without Mr. Yao's signature, even if I got the money, it would still be a misappropriation of company property and I would have to stay there for a few days. ”
When it comes to illegal and criminal issues, it is difficult for others to speak.
Zhang Wei took out his mobile phone, put it directly on the table, and then dialed Yao Xiaoguang’s number. Turn on the speakerphone, and after a few seconds, the call is connected.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, have you eaten? "Yao Xiaoguang's voice rang from the mobile phone.
"I am eating. What about you, have you eaten? If you haven’t eaten, can you come over and eat together? "I've already had dinner and am surfing the Internet. Do you have anything to do with me?" ”
“It’s like this. Didn’t I invest in Xiaonei Network before? I originally planned to remit the funds from Europe, but it was audited by the financial regulatory authorities in the middle. I won’t be able to get the money for a while. This matter I mentioned it to you a few days ago."
"Yes, why? The review hasn't been completed yet?" Yao Xiaoguang asked.
“No, I don’t know when the review will be completed. But the school network is in urgent need of funds to expand the server, so I thought about borrowing two million from Weiguang Technology in my own name. , I will pay it back when the funds from Europe arrive!"
"You want to borrow money from me and invest it in Xiaonei Network? I don't agree!" Yao Xiaoguang said decisively.
"Why? It's not like I won't pay back the money. Why don't I write an IOU?" Zhang Wei said immediately.
“When you mention the school network, I get angry. The Happy Farm we developed last time wanted to go online from the school network, but they wouldn’t let them. We don’t need them to operate it. We have our own The server has its own operation team. How difficult is it for them to open a hyperlink entrance? They don’t even bother to do this! Now I need to borrow money. Why should I borrow money from Weiguang Technology? Give it to them!”
The phone was on speakerphone, and everyone heard Yao Xiaoguang’s complaint. For a moment, many people looked embarrassed.
"I thought it was a big deal. Isn't it just to launch Happy Farm on the school network? I will discuss it with Mr. Wang of the school network later." Zhang Wei pretended to smooth things over.
“Just a happy farm is not enough. We have recently developed a small game to compete for parking spaces. If you want to play, join together!”
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Mr. Wang." Zhang Wei paused and then said, "But you have to promise me that if the school network is willing to launch Happy Farm and grab parking spaces, you have to lend me these two million. !"
On the other end of the phone, Yao Xiaoguang pretended to be silent, then reluctantly said: "Okay, just for your sake!"
"That's good! , I won’t delay you from surfing the Internet.” Zhang Wei said, pressed the hang up button, and then looked at Wang Xing.
At this time, Wang Xing had already understood that Zhang Wei called Yao Xiaoguang and deliberately turned on the speakerphone, making it clear that one of the good and the bad came to make demands.
Not only Wang Xing, but everyone else at the wine table also realized that these young people are passionate, but they are not stupid, and they all graduated from prestigious schools and have high IQs. very. Zhang Wei made things so obvious, how could they not see that the two of them were working together to make conditions!
Thinking back to the fact that Zhang Wei's funds were still reluctant to arrive, it was not until the server of the school network could no longer bear it that he said he could borrow two million from Weiguang Technology. This clearly dug a hole for the school network to wait. Jump in!
Thinking of this, the eyes of several people around looked at Zhang Wei, no longer flattering and pleading, but more angry!
How can you not be angry after being tricked?
......
The start-up team of Xiaonei.com are all top students who graduated from prestigious universities. Most of them have never experienced severe beatings from society. They launched the successful project of Xiaonei.com for the first time. Can be regarded as a winner in life.
These people have been accustomed to being arrogant and arrogant since childhood, but now they are being tricked by Zhang Wei. How can they stand this arrogance!
The atmosphere in the conference room was depressing, and several people were silent. However, one could feel that this was the calm before the storm. Maybe the volcano would erupt in the next second.
Finally, one of them broke the silence and said; "This Zhang Wei, give us the first phase of funds first and let us open registration. When the number of users increases, the server will not be able to support it. He started asking us to put his Happy Farm online, and now he’s also adding something to grab parking spaces. It’s so shameless!”
“That’s right, we can’t let him threaten us! The farm is online! Let’s see what he can do!”
The person speaking obviously hasn’t recognized the reality yet, and he has some angry youth attributes.
"What can he do? He can not invest money. Without funds, our servers will not be enough, and the website will collapse!"
"Isn't it just money! At worst, we can find other investments. We now have more than two thousand With tens of thousands of registered users, are you afraid that you won’t be able to attract investment?”
“Do you think we haven’t contacted other investors during this period? Those investors have mentioned it in meetings every Monday morning. Don’t you know what kind of conditions we have in mind?
We have more than 20 million registered users, but our profitability has always been questioned. If we are not profitable, investors will not be able to provide us with good conditions! Investors make money, not charity!”
“That’s right. Compared with other investors, Zhang Wei did not ask us to open registration before. We were unwilling at first, but Facebook also opened registration, and it turned out that he was right.
Now that he wants to launch a small game, we will agree to it. Just like Yao Xiaoguang said, we don’t need to operate it. We only need to open a hyperlink entrance for them, which is not a big deal! "
"No! If we agree to Zhang Wei, doesn't it mean that we are really being blackmailed by him? Can you guys swallow this breath? Anyway, I can't swallow this breath. Ever since I was a child, I have never suffered such a loss! "The angry young man said.
"Then what do you think we should do? Otherwise, if you pay to upgrade the server for us, then we won’t have to ask Zhang Wei! ”
“How can I have money! Even if I have money, why should I pay for it? The school network belongs to everyone, and it needs to be developed together by everyone! ”
When he is angry, the angry young man is really angry, but when it comes to paying money, the angry young man is instantly scared.
"If you don't provide money, and you can't find better investors to invest in us, then we can only agree to Zhang Wei's request."
"I disagree! I will never compromise with such a person. !" The angry young man snorted.
"Then tell me, what should we do?"
"We don't have to do anything, just let the server crash! At worst, we will break up and we will quit. The school network is closed. Anyway, Zhang Wei has already invested tens of millions. If the school network is closed, he will suffer the biggest loss!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room showed unkind expressions. .
Zhang Wei invested tens of millions of yuan in the school network, but the school network not only involves the tens of millions Zhang Wei invested, but also involves the interests of other people.
If nothing else, in the early days of the establishment of the Xiaonei Network, Wang Xing used his own money as start-up capital. This was a real investment, and Wang Xing was definitely not willing to lose it.
The other members of the founding team also had money and strength to make the school network bigger and stronger.
If the school gateway is down, Zhang Wei will lose tens of millions of yuan invested, but others will also suffer considerable losses.
So when he said the words "one shot and two break up", everyone present instinctively stood against him.
When it comes to interests, it must be that you are a Taoist friend and don't die in poverty. You are noble and generous, but you should not use other people's interests to show your nobility or generosity to others!
At this time, Wang Xing, who had been silent, finally said: "Since everyone disagrees, I suggest that we vote by a show of hands and the minority obeys the majority. What do you think?"
"Okay, let's vote by show of hands, I have no objection!"
"I have no objection either!"
"The minority obeys the majority, as it should be!"
Everyone, including the angry youth, quickly reached a consensus.
"Then let's start the voting. If you don't agree with Zhang Wei's request, please raise your hands!" Wang Xing said.
The angry youth raised their hands immediately and said at the same time: "We cannot compromise with power and capital!"
The angry youth probably thought that if they chanted a slogan, they would be able to respond to a hundred responses, and then everyone would respond. Then raise your hands in agreement.
However, the situation at the scene was that he was the only one, raising his hands alone, and no one else responded.
"Hey, everyone, we are being threatened by the game. Can you take this breath?" The angry young man said, looking at his best friend.
However, the other party lowered his head and avoided the angry youth's gaze.
"Is there anyone else who wants to raise their hands? If not, it means a vote of disagreement!" Wang Xing paused and then said: "If you agree with Zhang Wei's request, please raise your hands!"
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, soon the first person raised his hand, then the second, the third...
Wang Xing saw someone raising his hand, He also raised his hands to show his support.
"Everyone has seen the result. The minority obeys the majority. I will call Zhang Wei immediately. R&D Department, Operations Department, you are ready, we will launch Happy Farm!"
The angry young man was a The expression on his face was blank, and the confusion was mixed with a little confusion, but more of it was still anger.
The angry young man obviously didn't realize that his off-putting words just now offended everyone and harmed everyone's interests.
"How can you do this? Don't you have any dignity?" the angry young man said angrily.
But everyone remained silent, and no one paid any attention to the angry young man.
What is dignity in the face of interests?
"If you just agree to Zhang Wei, he will be even more aggressive in the future!" The angry young man then roared.
If you have to make an inch more, you have to make an inch more. Who wants the father to be the sponsor? Whatever the sponsor’s dad says is what it is, these are the rules of business!
After this incident, several other people have obviously understood this truth.
Only the angry young man, still looking like a superior, incompetent and furious!
