Chapter 549 Victory
News reports appeared one after another in domestic and foreign media.
"The U.S. Department of Commerce admitted that the review of Pinru Group violated procedures"
"The person in charge, Danny, called the review a wrong move against a Chinese-funded enterprise. Such a mistake should not happen again. The United States welcomes investment from any country."
Danny crumpled up the newspaper in his hand and threw it out of the window angrily.
He did admit his mistakes, but only in private and had no intention of making them public.
He is even more unable to admit mistakes on behalf of the U.S. Department of Commerce. All he can represent is himself.
I just didn't expect that a reporter would sneak into Pinru's negotiation team.
And upgraded his personal apology to an apology from the Ministry of Commerce.
In a country like the United States, even if everyone knows that they have done something wrong, they will never admit it easily.
Even if no weapons of mass destruction were found, even if nothing was found on the Afghan battlefield, they would never say that this war was wrong.
Because admitting your mistake is equivalent to the myth being shattered.
In the 2001 crash, we detained their pilot and demanded an apology.
The US has a tough attitude and refuses to apologize.
After intense negotiations between the two parties, they sent the first draft of an apology letter. This apology letter only expressed "concern" for the missing heroes and contained no apology.
After we returned the apology letter, they sent us a second draft.
This apology letter is a little more sincere, but it still attempts to use words such as "accident" to explain away the matter.
The second draft continued to be returned.
After that, the content of the apology was changed again and again, and it was not until the sixth draft that the words "deeply sorry" were included.
Apologizing is so difficult for them.
Pinru Group is just a company, and it is impossible to force them to admit their mistakes.
If he admits his mistake and has this case, is it also wrong for him to use this method against other companies in the past?
Admitting one mistake is equivalent to admitting countless mistakes.
Luo Xiu is now just using the media to "help them apologize" and claiming everywhere that they have apologized.
Make the false true.
In the evening, Danny had just come out of the office.
A large number of reporters gathered around him and asked him about the facts reported in the media.
"Sorry, no comment!"
Danny could only remain silent and hurriedly got into the car and left.
He still has no way to defend himself, because the more he defends himself, the hotter the news will be, and the more the media will cling to it.
He could only keep silent and let the matter unfold slowly.
However, things were not as simple as he thought. A few of his loyal supporters appeared out of nowhere and have been defending him.
Forget about defending him, the key point is that what he said is illogical. On the surface, he is defending him, but in fact, he is attracting trouble for him.
Driven by these supporters, the whole thing became a hot topic that could not subside for a long time.
It's just like one pink top and ten black ones.
…
Far away on the other side of the world, a factory owner put down the newspaper in his hand and his eyes became determined.
In the 1980s, the potassium permanganate produced by his factory was exported to the American market.
Since the price is only half that of American companies, it is very competitive in the international market and has quickly opened up sales.
After tasting the benefits, he began to expand the factory, introduce new production equipment, and increase production capacity.
However, not long after, a decree was issued and the company was levied an anti-dumping tax of 128%.
Faced with the U.S. anti-dumping lawsuit, many companies were unable to compete and lost one after another.
Many people advised him to give up, but he still persisted and persisted in appealing.
Now that I saw the news of Luo Xiu's victory, I was immediately greatly encouraged.
Let him know that persistence is not meaningless.
At the same time, there are many entrepreneurs like him.
They have been sanctioned for various reasons, but they still insist on not compromising.
Pinru Group's victory this time made them more determined.
…
…
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Luo Xiu took the plane back home with a happy mood.
Uber's two equity transactions brought him US$7.3 billion in profits.
An investment of US$200 million, in four years, resulted in an asset appreciation of 36.5 times, which can be said to be a great success.
Although many people said that he sold it too early and should wait until Uber went public before realizing the money, when the money actually came into their hands, everyone had to lament that this investment was so successful.
Domestic media also showed great interest in his experience of fighting wits and courage in the United States during this period, as well as the use of funds after converting Uber into cash, and tried their best to get some inside information.
At the same time, various uncertified gossips also began to spread online.
Some people say that he was once imprisoned in a dark room in the United States and finally escaped using the golden cicada trick.
Some people say that he cheated Masayoshi Son and made him a successor.
Some people say that after he cashes in his money, he plans to immigrate and no longer care about domestic business.
In order to dispel these groundless speculations, the group had to hold a press conference to answer the public's questions.
"Hello, Mr. Luo, some people say that you dumped all your shares in Uber because you saw that online ride-hailing was still unable to make a profit and thought that the online ride-hailing business model was a failure, so you approached SoftBank to take over."
After listening to the reporter's question, Luo Xiu shook his head and said: "The reason why I transferred the equity of Uber to SoftBank is not that I am not optimistic about the future of online ride-hailing. From investing in Uber to now, I have always believed that Uber will change the way people travel, and I
So I transferred the equity to SoftBank because I clearly knew that SoftBank could help Uber develop better than Pinru."
Luo Xiu had no choice but to say this. After all, he couldn't just break up with Uber and then turn around and say bad things about others.
He could only say a few good things.
It’s just that this passage sounds like, I broke up with my girlfriend not because I didn’t love her anymore, but because I loved her too much, but I couldn’t give her better material conditions, so I had no choice but to break up with her.
Give it to a rich second generation.
The reporter continued to ask: "After this liquidation, you hold a large amount of cash in your hands. Do you have any next plans? How do you plan to use this funds?"
Luo Xiu thought for a while and replied: "I had a wish a few years ago, which was to buy the island where the company is now and build a technology city full of technology and futuristic sense, integrating office and life.
There are employee apartments, gyms, game pools, cinemas, stadiums, game rooms, libraries, various delicious restaurants, brand clothing stores, hospitals, schools... I hope employees can enjoy life more after work.
.
I believe that employees who are full of sunshine in their lives will definitely reflect this in their work.”
