Chapter 1139: Be willing to be a puppet

During the May Day Golden Week, most provinces and cities in China will adjust their weekends. Enterprises and institutions have a total of seven days of public holidays, and Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets will be closed for nine days.

On the eve of the May Day Golden Week, new technology concept stocks in Shanghai and Shenzhen, especially Internet concept stocks, suffered a severe blow, and were generally hit by continuous limit downs. Although the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets are temporarily closed, the debate around the topic of Internet bubble is more exciting.

Unicom has entered the chain Internet cafe industry and has been preparing for the China Unicom Internet Garden plan for more than two months. Unicom Internet Garden Xuefu Store, Xinshijie Store, Xinpu Store, Fuqing Road Store, and Nanhu Store, a total of five flagship Internet cafes were open to the public at the same time on May 1st, with the total number of five flagship Internet cafes exceeding 12,000 units.

On the eve of the past, Zhang Ke received a call from Cheng Yingxia, deputy general manager of China Unicom Donghai Provincial Company, inviting him to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony of China Unicom Netyuan Xuefu Store. Since China Unicom headquarters did not want to promote the Internet Garden plan with great fanfare, Yang Rongping would not come to Jianye to participate in the ribbon cutting event. Cheng Yingxia invited Zhang Ke as an adventurous request, and Zhang Ke didn't care, asking Cheng Yingxia not to make any special arrangements for him. He lived close to him and walked over to attend the ribbon cutting time.

On Labor Day, there was also one day's public holiday for the University of Hong Kong. Tang Jing and Shengxia and Chen Feirong returned to the mainland to spend the weekend together. Chen Feirong stayed in Jianye for a night and got up early and took a bus back to Haizhou. Zhang Ke and Tang Jingchun slept late. After nine o'clock, they got up lazily. The ribbon-cutting activity of China Unicom Net Garden Xuefu Store also started at ten o'clock. Zhang Ke and Tang Jing were eating breakfast in an orderly manner in the apartment.

Du Fei's phone call came in excitedly: "Jiang Minzhi came to Xuefu Lane to inspect. He will also participate in the ribbon-cutting activity of China Unicom Net Garden Xuefu Store later... China Unicom has a very good beauty."

Beijing has complex personnel relations. Although Cheng Yingxia is only a department-level cadre within China Unicom, she has the advantage of a beautiful woman, which is more important than her position. Officials with higher ranks are more active. Maybe Jiang Minzhi had contact with her when she was a member of the National Economic and Trade Commission. Think about it, did she just agree to participate in the ribbon-cutting activity of China Unicom Netyuan Xuefu Store?

Zhang Ke looked at his watch and found that there was less than half an hour before the ribbon-cutting activity. He did not receive a formal notice saying that Jiang Minzhi would inspect Xuefu Lane today. Even if there was a formal notice, Shao Zhigang and the others would come out to accompany him. He leisurely finished the coffee before going downstairs with Tang Jing.

As May enters Jianye, the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large. In the early morning, he and Tang Jing are lying in bed and are sleeping comfortably. When they walk out of the door, many girls are wearing light skirts and attracting attention. When Du Fei drove over with midsummer, he walked through Jiaxiang toward China Unicom.

China Unicom Internet Garden is the first trick of Xuechuangyu Internet Cafe, which attracts consumers by using free Internet access. Today is the first day of business. After the ribbon cutting activity, it is a two-hour free Internet access period. With the lessons of China Unicom Internet Cafe, China Unicom Internet Garden is more effective in organizing it. It is adjacent to the square in front of China Unicom Internet Garden and the curbs on Seyuan Road. It is three or four hundred meters long in a row, but there is no traffic jam. Many college students wearing China Unicom Internet Garden cultural shirts are helping to maintain order.

Several cars with government vehicles were parked in front of the Internet cafe, and Jiang Minzhi and other provincial government officials were not seen. Perhaps they had already called Zhu Quanshou, Cheng Yingxia and other China Unicom officials to rest.

"Do you want to go in?" Du Fei asked Zhang Ke.

"Forget it, let's just pretend to attend, don't you feel tired when you go in?" Zhang Ke said. Before he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Yingxia leading Xue Minglou, Jiang Mei and the others walking out of a side door of China Unicom Net Garden and walking towards them.

At this time, Zhang Ke knew that Xue Minglou would be transferred to Donghai to serve as Jiang Minzhi's secretary. Jiang Mei also acted as an assistant to her father Jiang Minzhi during her internship, whispering to Tang Jing. Seeing them coming over, she smiled and said to Cheng Yingxia: "General Cheng has invited Governor Jiang, why don't you tell me in advance, I came here so late, it's very rude... The ribbon-cutting activity is about to begin?"

"My wife called Governor Jiang, and Governor Jiang decided to participate this morning temporarily..." Cheng Yingxia explained.

From Cheng Yingxia's tone, Zhang Ke could hear that her family had a distant relationship with Jiang Minzhi. Perhaps she was an uncle who had no blood relationship at all. She thought to herself: Jiang Minzhi decided to participate in the ribbon cutting event, maybe she knew he was going to participate, but she was on a whim? Zhang Ke glanced at the interview car in the distance and knew that there was a reporter from the TV station, and asked: "The ribbon cutting event is about to begin, right? Then we will wait for Governor Jiang outside, and Mr. Zhu and the others came out..."

"Then I'll wait outside for a while. Governor Jiang was in there and accepted a brief interview with the newspaper and the TV station. It will be over in a while." Cheng Yingxia nodded, knowing that Zhang Ke didn't want to show her face in front of the media. This was also what she had considered before, so she didn't insist on asking Zhang Ke to walk in. Her eyes looked at Tang Jing, who was holding Zhang Ke's arm and leaning against her side. She eagerly pulled her hand and asked with a smile, "You are the daughter of Governor Tang Xueqian? Is it not enough to praise someone for being beautiful? I really understand it at this time. You and Jiang Mei - I haven't introduced you to you yet. This daughter Jiang Mei, who is Governor Jiang Minzhi, is Miss Shengxia standing beside Mr. Du? You three stand together, I want to cover your face..."

"Sister Cheng is also very beautiful. It is not easy for Sister Cheng to do such a big thing," Tang Jing said embarrassedly, and greeted Jiang Mei, "Miss Jiang Mei is truly beautiful and has temperament. I have loved watching movies starring Aunt Lin Jin since I was a child. Miss Jiang Mei and Aunt Lin Jin were carved out in the same mold when they were young..."

Jiang Mei walked out and looked at Tang Jing. Seeing her delicate and bright standing with Zhang Keyi, like a golden boy and a jade girl, she felt a little sour. At this time, she saw that she flattered herself as beautiful as her mother, but she was not too cold. She smiled and greeted Tang Jing. In the end, she was more cold than Cheng Yingxia.

Jiang Mei's eyes were still deliberately or unintentionally slapped Zhang Ke. Her father was interviewed by the media and the questions from media reporters were concentrated on the Internet stock market crash. She is now sure that Zhang Ke had realized what would happen next when he received the call three days ago, and stabbed Haisu Technology in the back without any hesitation. Perhaps at this moment, she could have a little understanding of Zhang Ke's power, and the murder was hidden invisible.

Neither Jiang Mei nor Xue Minglou went in anymore, but just waited outside.

After a while, Jiang Minzhi walked out surrounded by officials of the provincial government and general manager Zhu Quanshou, and others. Jiang Minzhi decided to inspect Xuefu Lane in the morning. Shao Zhigang naturally had to come to accompany him in Jianye. Almost the entire Xuefu Lane was a property under Century Jinhu. Wang Haisu was also among the crowd. Wang Haisu was the president of Shanghai Su Technology, and Haisu Technology's chain Internet cafe business scale is the largest in East China. Unicom Internet Garden invited Wang Haisu to attend to show its demeanor.

Wang Haisu and the others had known that China Unicom wanted to develop a chain Internet cafe business. Before the crisis broke out, they did not feel the slightest pressure; even if there was competition, it would take a year or two to gradually feel that the current pressure would only be reflected in the industry analysis report. After the outbreak of the Internet stock market crash, any straw would make them feel that it had increased weight. Moreover, China Unicom's Internet Garden's actions were at least much heavier than a straw.

The newly opened direct Internet cafe in Jianye this time, China Unicom Netcom has increased the number of joint-stock machines in Jianye Internet cafe industry by 8%, and plans to develop four to five times the scale of franchised Internet cafes in the short term, which means that the number of joint-stock machines in Jianye Internet cafe industry will increase by 40-50% due to the advance of China Unicom. This will cause drastic changes in the competitive environment of the Jianye Internet cafe industry and affect the profit expectations of Haisu Technology's chain Internet cafe business. At present, Haisu Technology has always advocated the profitability of its chain Internet cafe business. After the profit expectations are shaken, it will have a greater negative impact on the stock price.

Although Wang Haisu came to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of China Unicom Net Garden, he wanted to burn several flagship stores of China Unicom Net Garden to ashes with a fire, but he just thought about it.

After the simple ribbon cutting ceremony, Net Garden was officially open for business. Those who queued up for most of the day began to go in and experience the feeling of surfing the Internet for free.

Jiang Minzhi was still quite concerned about Zhang Ke's concerns. As soon as the ribbon cutting activity ended, he instructed the TV station and media reporters to leave first. He said to Zhang Ke: "Since I'm here, I still have some time to visit the Aida Library..."

"It's just right to ask Governor Jiang to instruct work..." Zhang Ke said with a smile, turning his head and seeing Jian Zhikang in Jianye Morning News winking in the distance and waved to him; the director of the Provincial Government Office, who was responsible for Jiang Minzhi's inspection arrangements, knew Zhang Ke's identity and asked Jian Zhikang to come over.

Wang Haisu originally left early and did not attend the lunch banquet. He felt that he had no chance to catch up with Jiang Minzhi's line; he didn't know Jian Zhikang, but remembered that he had asked Jiang Minzhi several problems that were very unfavorable to Haisu Technology. Seeing that he knew Zhang Ke, Wang Haisu was patient and planned to follow him to visit the Aida Library.

Aida Library was built by Kumho donated 300 million yuan, which caused a sensation. It was not only the largest single library in the East China Sea, but also the largest single library in the country with the largest and highest-standard size. Even Wang Haisu regrets why he did not have such a library in Dongda to give them a quiet environment for reading.

Zhang Ke didn't mind Wang Haisu was by his side, and asked Jian Zhikang with a smile: "You just became the director of the editorial department, are you? Why are you still charging at the front line?"

"Governor Jiang is one of the few expert officials in China and is also the deputy director of the Economic and Trade Commission, I wanted to write an exclusive interview to Governor Jiang. There has never been a suitable opportunity. Now that Governor Jiang is coming to the East China Sea, I certainly have to fight for it," Jian Zhikang stood in front of Zhang Ke and Jiang Minzhi and introduced himself to Jiang Minzhi, "I am a soldier under Governor Jiang. Jian Zhikang from Jianye Morning Newspaper, hopes that Governor Jiang can give me the opportunity to write an exclusive interview..."

"Oh, I've read several economic interviews you wrote. The reports on several companies in Jinhu are very in-depth and comprehensive, which makes people impressed after reading them. Your question just now is also very sharp: Should you give me a leak of false fire? I think it's very necessary to promote the healthier and orderly development of the domestic Internet industry," Jiang Minzhi took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Jian Zhikang, and said, "I really want you to come and write an exclusive interview for me..."

Jian Zhikang was obviously a royal literati in Jinhu. Jiang Mei didn't understand why her father agreed to let Jian Zhikang write his first interview on the East China Sea for him.

Hearing Jiang Minzhi's words, Cheng Yingxia, Zhu Quanshou and others were slightly shocked. Yesterday, Wu Xiaobo, deputy director of the Finance and Economics Committee of the National People's Congress, published an article to support China's Internet industry. Jiang Minzhi should know that, and when he was interviewed just now, Jiang Minzhi did not answer Jian Zhikang's question directly. At this time, he clearly stated that his views were somewhat confusing.

From Quantum Online's response strategy, we can see Quantum Online and Kumho, who is hidden behind Quantum Online, towards the current Internet economic crisis. Looking at Jian Zhikang's excited expression, I am afraid that I will write a big article with Jiang Minzhi's words.

Wang Haisu's heart was even more turbulent, and he no longer had the intention to visit the Aida Library.

Zhang Ke smiled slightly and accompanied Jiang Minzhi and others to the Aida Library across the street. After visiting the Aida Library, Jiang Minzhi and provincial government officials left; Zhu Quanshou knew that Zhang Ke didn't like it was too lively, but Cheng Yingxia invited Zhang Ke and others on behalf of the provincial company, and only brought Jian Zhikang. The provincial company was developing in the East China Sea, so he had to rely on the power of Jianye Morning Newspaper.

"How is it possible? How could Jiang Minzhi express this attitude?" The news brought back by Wang Haisu made Lin Xue look like a cat who only stepped on her tail. "How could Jiang Minzhi be willing to be a lackey in Jinhu?"

"Of course Jiang Minzhi won't be a lackey in Kumho, but it doesn't mean that Jiang Minzhi won't take the opportunity to bite us." Liu Qijun analyzed, "What is Jiang Minzhi's usual position? In the past year, among listed companies whose stock prices have risen sharply due to the concept of the Internet, how many state-owned capital are holding shares, and how many private capital are operating behind the scenes? It's not surprising that Jiang Minzhi has such a remark. He may be more looking forward to seeing the collapse of the Internet economy in order to cover up the incompetence of state-owned capital."

"So, we must be alert to Jiang Minzhi?" Wang Haisu asked.

"Jiang Minzhi and Wu Xiaobo have a different tune in many occasions," Yan Wenjie talked about another grudge. "When Jiang Jinghan was ruined in the 1960s, Wu Xiaobo, who served as an assistant to Jiang Jinghan during that period, was not implicated. The Jiang family always suspected that Wu Xiaobo was also slandering Jiang Jinghan behind the scenes..." Yan Wenjie was very hard during this period. Yesterday, people were still in Beijing, and flew back to Jianye again at noon, and then returned to Wenzhou again in the afternoon.

"Will Jiang Minzhi and Jinhu have a tacit understanding?" Lin Xue mentioned a key question. If Jiang Minzhi attacked the entire Internet concept stock in general, the direct impact on Haisu Technology would be much less. If Jiang Minzhi and Jinhu had a tacit understanding with Zhang Ke, that would be a waste of time. Haisu Technology might be said to be in Jiang Minzhi's hands.

"There shouldn't be a tacit understanding? This time it should be Jiang Minzhi and Zhang Ke's second contact," Wang Haisu analyzed, "and the two contacts were quite short, and they couldn't even say a few words. How could there be a tacit understanding?"

"The port construction project on Dongshan Island can be launched with former Vice Premier Jiang Jinghan behind the scenes," said Liu Qijun. He is a conspiracy theorist. "Kumho should have had a tacit understanding with the Jiang family."

"Not necessarily," Yan Wenjie denied Liu Qijun's speculation, "The central government will not send a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee who has a tacit understanding with Jinhu. The governor will come to the East China Sea. Once Jiang Minzhi forms a tacit understanding with Jinhu again, he will not be able to stay in the East China Sea for a long time... Speaking of the Dongshan Island port construction project, we have been silently hindering behind our backs. The Jiang family may have some opinions about us, but Jiang Minzhi is not the kind of strong character that can tear his face."

Lin Xue held her hands on her chest. She was wearing a thin shirt with a slightly open collar. She thought about what Zhang Ke and Jiang Minzhi said at the Donghai Business Leaders' Annual Meeting four days ago. It seemed that all the changes and reactions were within Zhang Ke's expectations. Lin Xue only felt a chill in her heart. With such an opponent, when will she find the feeling and confidence to win?

At this time, Lin Xue didn't know what to say. Yan Wenjie tapped the table with his finger, frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Jiang Minzhi could not target us deliberately, he could not have been too obvious; and we should also find a way to control the influence of Jianye Morning News. Even if we cannot limit Quantun's online news reports and comments, we can still exert influence on the other two or three portals. Don't let the bubble crisis rage. We just need to survive May. This is not particularly difficult. The Nasdaq index began to stabilize yesterday..."

Wang Haisu also expects Jiang Minzhi to just talk about the current Internet economic crisis and have no intention of targeting Haisu Technology. However, thinking that the power behind the Yan family is so huge, there is no interest in Jiang Minzhi and Jinhu, and it is impossible to rush to break up with the Jinhu and Yan family.

Jian Zhikang's actions were quick. Jianye Morning News published an interview with Jiang Minzhi early the next morning, and clearly expressed the view that companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets should be exposed for the fire.
