Chapter 1716 I Am a Chinese First
Rebirth of the Evil Life Chapter 1716 I am a Chinese first Golden Warrior
At this moment, it was the evening of December 26 in China. Wu Zhaopu was about to get off work, but at this time, he received a call from Lin Feng.
"Boss, how about this donation amount? I think it's a bit small. After all, you are a recognized philanthropist and the richest man in the world. If you only donate 10,000 yuan for the Indonesian tsunami, it feels a bit embarrassing." Wu Zhaopu said thoughtfully.
In Wu Zhaopu's view, the Indonesian tsunami came at the right time. The company can completely create a god with this donation and continue to make "World War" famous. It just coincides with the public beta of "World War".
Hearing these words from Wu Zhaopu, Lin Feng was furious. But Lin Feng was not a young man who had just started out, so he still suppressed his anger and listened to Wu Zhaopu's words.
"Boss, how much do you think is appropriate to donate? I won't donate a dime! - Lin Feng was furious.
"Boss, in fact, the company can now create a god and come up with 10,000 US dollars. If we donate 10,000 US dollars in the name of "World War", it will be a very good publicity method, and it will also make players from all countries recognize our company more." Wu Zhaopu said with a smile.
At any time, those who occupy the righteousness will win the world. "The Second World" needs this title of philanthropist, so that the game of "The Second World" can be more easily accepted by the society of all countries.
However, it is obvious that Wu Zhaopu did not understand what Lin Feng was thinking at the moment. So, he continued to talk there, describing the benefits of donating, but he didn't realize that Lin Feng's anger had been completely ignited by him.
"Mr. Wu, donate, I donate his grandma's ball!" Lin Feng shouted angrily after a long silence.
Buzz～～～, Lin Feng did not control himself in this shouting, so the lion's roar was like in Wu Zhaopu's ears, and Wu Zhaopu was shocked for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Boss, you...what did you say just now? "Wu Zhaopu was stunned for a long time, as if Lin Feng just said he would not donate. Is it okay not to donate? Since we know about the Indonesian tsunami, the whole world is donating now. If Lin Feng does not donate and "Second World" does not donate, it will easily become the target of public criticism.
"Mr. Wu, I say it again, I will not donate. Not only I will not donate, all my companies will not donate, including "Second World." Lin Feng said word by word.
Wu Zhaopu was stunned for a while, pinched himself, and confirmed that he had not heard wrong, and then he was anxious.
"Boss,
Why is this? If you don't donate at this time, you will be criticized, and it will not be good for "World War"! "Wu Zhaopu was anxious.
"I know but I won't donate!" Lin Feng said coldly.
"Boss, why is this? Why?" Wu Zhaopu shouted.
"It's very simple, I'm Chinese. I believe you are also aware of the 1998 Indonesian massacre of Chinese. As a Chinese, I am not that magnanimous to help those who once sharpened their knives and slaughtered my compatriots. "Lin Feng explained.
Wu Zhaopu fell silent when he heard this. He was also aware of the 1998 Indonesian massacre of Chinese. He was a few years older than Lin Feng, and Wu Zhaopu had already studied abroad at that time, so he knew much more about this matter than Lin Feng. This incident can be said to have made many Chinese in the international community, including other foreigners, extremely disgusted with the country of Indonesia.
But no matter how much hatred there is between the two sides, in the face of natural disasters, they must lend a helping hand, otherwise they will be sprayed to death by public opinion. Especially "Second World" is an online game company. If you don't donate at this time, it will be easily attacked.
"Boss, I don't want to donate either. But if you don't donate at this time, you will be attacked. Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft and other companies have donated money, and they are watching us. If you don't donate, they will definitely use this as an excuse to criticize us in order to hit "World War". "Wu Zhaopu said helplessly.
Wu Zhaopu has considered the donation for the Indonesian tsunami very far. "World War" is about to be publicly tested, and as a direct competitor, "GM13 Alliance", it certainly does not want "World War" to be successfully publicly tested. It's just that "GM Second World" can't find any handle.
But this time in the Indonesian tsunami, if "Second World" does not donate, it will definitely give this "GM13 Alliance" a handle. Wu Zhaopu can imagine how they will attack "Second World" at that time.
Therefore, this donation to Indonesia must be made, and it can't be less.
"Mr. Wu, I don't care how much "Nintendo" and "EA" donated, anyway, I won't donate. "Lin Feng said firmly, "Boss, this... No way! "Wu Zhaopu's face was full of bitterness. Anyone who really knew about the 1998 Indonesian massacre of Chinese would never feel comfortable donating to Indonesia this time, but there is no way now.
Sometimes, there is no benefit or advantage in doing some things, but if you don't do them, it will be a big trouble.
"Zhaopu, what's wrong, what's the matter?" At this time, Chen Xiaowei came over. She originally came to call Wu Zhaopu to get off work together, but before she got close, she heard Wu Zhaopu's pleading voice.
"Hey, Xiaowei, you came at the right time. Please persuade the boss. The boss is not going to donate money for the Indonesian tsunami this time. You say, if you don't donate money at this time, it will give people a reason to talk!" Wu Zhaopu hurriedly told Chen Xiaowei the cause and effect.
"Mr. Lin, any Chinese would feel uncomfortable donating to Indonesia. But we are a company, a listed company, and we must consider the overall situation. As the chairman, you should know that your every move represents the entire company, and you can't act on impulse." Chen Xiaowei said seriously.
Wu Zhaopu knew it was going to be bad when he heard this. He knew Lin Feng too well. He was not the kind of person who followed the rules. If Lin Feng was the kind of person who followed the rules, he probably wouldn't have achieved what he has now. It can be said that Lin Feng can have this status today, to a large extent, because of his personal charm. In this matter, if you want to persuade Lin Feng, you really can't do it this way.
Unfortunately, it's too late now.
"Minister Chen, I know what you said makes sense, but I can tell you that although what you said makes sense, it is a narrow sense, not a broad sense. I am indeed the chairman of the company, and my words and deeds represent the company, but before that, I am a Chinese. Remember, I am Chinese! You, Wu Zhaopu, are both Chinese. I don't care whether you can accept donations to Indonesia, anyway, I will never donate to Indonesia, I will never!" Lin Feng said in a clear voice.
"But..." Chen Xiaowei still wanted to argue, but Lin Feng didn't give her a chance.
"Okay, Mr. Wu, I absolutely don't agree with the donation in this matter. If you don't agree, then convene the company's board of directors to discuss and vote." Lin Feng said.
Wu Zhaopu thought about it and shook his head.
"Boss, then we won't donate. We won't announce it to the public, and let this matter pass quietly." Wu Zhaopu immediately made a decision. As for the vote mentioned by Lin Feng, Wu Zhaopu disagreed. This matter will cause trouble. If we vote again, wouldn't it be against Lin Feng? For the currently booming "Second World", going against the founder of the company will only bring chaos to the company and will not do any good.
"Well, Mr. Wu, don't worry. Even if you don't donate, "World War" will still be popular this time and become the most popular online game in the world." Lin Feng said confidently.
"Boss, will you return to the company on January 1st?" Wu Zhaopu asked.
"Of course, I will never miss this moment." Lin Feng said expectantly.
"World War", after waiting for 3 years, Lin Feng will never miss this opportunity.
However, Wu Zhaopu wanted to keep a low profile, but the "gm13 Alliance" that has been paying attention to the "Second World" did not intend to let it go. During the Indonesian tsunami, the "gm13" alliance each donated to the "Second World" to see how much the "Second World" would donate.
If the "Second World" didn't donate as much as they did, they would be ready to make trouble for the "Second World".
Originally, the "gm13 Alliance" didn't have much expectation, and just wanted to disgust the "Second World". As a result, they heard that the "Second World" didn't donate during the Indonesian tsunami. What made them even more excited was that there was a rumor inside the "Second World" that they would not donate this time.
Originally, this charity donation is a matter of mutual consent, and no one else can say whether to donate or not.
But " It is unreasonable for "Second World" to not donate at all. Especially since it returned the donations from employees, this is even more of a big deal.
So after learning from a programmer of "Second World" that "Second World" would not donate to Indonesia and returned all the donations from employees, "GM13 Alliance" immediately released this news through various channels.
Once this news was announced, there was an uproar. The Indonesian tsunami shocked the world, and all humanitarians mourned for the Indonesian tsunami. 150,000 people were killed and injured, this data is too shocking.
Especially the pictures taken by helicopters afterwards, showing corpses floating on the sea and houses being destroyed. , which shocked all humanitarians. At this time, the news that "Second World" would not donate was already shocking. As a result, "Second World" not only did not donate itself, but also returned the donations of its employees. This can no longer be described as shocking, but horrifying. At this time, the world's spearheads were all aimed at "Second World". All humanitarians pointed out the cold-bloodedness of "Second World", causing the stock price of "Second World" to plummet.
In an instant, "Second World" became the target of public criticism.
The strong pressure of public opinion from the outside world caused "Second World" to be divided into two factions. One faction was led by Chen Xiaowei, who advocated donations and believed that this would be detrimental to the company. Although donations are charity, they are also face-saving projects. In the face of such natural disasters, not donating is just giving people a reason to criticize. Especially since the Second World has always been the target of public criticism, it should be more cautious at critical moments, rather than sensationalizing.
Obviously, this compromising group is directly targeting Lin Feng. But no one said it out loud, fearing that it would cause chaos. In the Second World, no one dared to question Lin Feng's wrongdoings in person.
The other group is the hardliners, who believe that they must not compromise with the outside world now. Regardless of whether it is right not to donate, the Second World cannot compromise now. If it compromises, will the outside world say something casually in the future, and will the Second World have to change its policies for the outside world?
But at the moment, the hardliners do not have the upper hand. Influenced by the fact that "Second World" did not donate, many players, under the instigation of the outside world, believed that "Second World" was a cold-blooded and mercenary game company, so they refused to play "Second World" games. Many players even sat in protest in the game, demanding that "Second World" take out a certain percentage of its turnover and donate it to Indonesia to help families who lost their homes in the Indonesian tsunami.
Therefore, at present, the compromise faction has the upper hand within "Second World".
"Xiaowei, you will split the company!" Wu Zhaopu persuaded.
The representative of the compromise faction this time is Chen Xiaowei, and the representative of the hardliners is Wu Zhaopu. The two of them are lovers, which has to be said - fate plays tricks on people.
"Zhao Pu, you should know that this is a public relations incident. The 'GM13 Alliance' has been looking for an opportunity to deal with us, and we have given them an opportunity to deal with us this time. You see, the company's stock price was about to break through the US dollar, but now it has fallen to US dollars because of this incident. If no more donations are made, it may fall to the yuan. Especially "World War", it may also be implicated by this incident, and its future is bleak!" Chen Xiaowei persuaded Wu Zhaopu earnestly.
Wu Zhaopu frowned.
"Zhao Pu, I think this matter should be discussed by the board of directors. There are still three days before "World War" is about to be publicly tested. We must solve this crisis before then, otherwise it will affect "World War", and none of us can bear this responsibility." Chen Xiaowei saw Wu Zhaopu's emotion and immediately stepped up her persuasion.
"Hold a board of directors?" Wu Zhaopu was stunned. He has the right, but now Lin Feng is dragged in the UK and has not returned, so it seems not good to hold a board of directors at this time.
"I also know that Director Lin has not returned yet. But the situation is pressing now. "World War" will be publicly tested in three days, and we must solve this matter within three days." Chen Xiaowei urged.
In Chen Xiaowei's opinion, it is really difficult to solve this matter in three days. For such a matter, even if the "Second World" donates now, the anger of the outside world is not so easy to calm down. Unless the "Second World" donates a huge sum of money, it can calm the anger of the outside world. But I am afraid that not many people will feel comfortable donating a huge sum of money in this matter. Even Chen Xiaowei, the representative of the compromise faction, disagrees.
Difficult choice! ——Chen Xiaowei has a headache.
"Convene an emergency board meeting!" After hesitating for a long time, Wu Zhaopu finally made a decision.
