Chapter 952: Chapter 835 ERV First Quarter Financial Report (Subscribe please!)
Watching TV.
The conversation between the journalist and Professor Wang.
Tang Qing didn’t regret meddling in such a "minor affair," because the data he obtained was too shocking. Those unscrupulous factory owners, whose consciences had been eaten by dogs for the sake of making money, deserved to be punished.
Moreover, the progress of the matter was very good.
Although it wasn’t allowed to be reported.
Still, related investigations had already begun, half of the offending enterprises had been shut down and fined, ceased operations for reorganization, and for serious cases, the bosses were directly jailed, while many of the remaining factory owners were scared into fleeing.
Tang Qing knew.
After these things were finished.
The authorities planned to do a special report to disclose to the public.
Public disclosure by the media.
This was a kind of accountability.
Also a kind of warning.
It warned those unscrupulous factory owners across the regions who were currently or contemplating overstepping boundaries, reminding them that they weren’t in lawless territories.
It also equated to urging localities to strengthen environmental supervision. Although the effectiveness was uncertain, as long as the rules were established, there would be a basis, and anyone who didn’t adhere would face consequences.
If it had been before.
Especially with land pollution caused by Chemical Industrial waste discharge.
Governance would be difficult.
The impact could last for decades.
But these problems would soon be resolved.
The solid waste dissolution technology he purchased at a great cost was very effective for environmental governance and was expected to hit the market by the end of next month, while the exhaust filter device for cars had already been developed successfully.
Patents in various countries were being applied for.
And negotiations with major car manufacturers were also underway at full speed, but progress was slow because they temporarily had no demand in this area, after all, they were just car manufacturers.
When it comes to preventing environmental pollution, they had no motivation, and installing this device would definitely raise the price. Whether consumers would accept this part of the "environmental tax" was still an unknown.
They were all watching and waiting.
But Tang Qing was in no hurry.
After all.
He intended to sell.
There were plenty of strategies to choose from.
Now, negotiating with these manufacturers was merely a tactic. If you don’t take a tougher stance now, how will I find an "excuse" to trap you later? You think I’m begging you now, huh, don’t flatter yourself.
...
"Young Boss Tangtang, what are you watching?"
Just as Tang Qing’s mind was busy wandering.
The voice of Dou Jiao came from behind him.
For Dou Jiao’s occasional new nicknames, Tang Qing had long been accustomed to them.
"Nothing much, just casually watching the news," Tang Qing turned around and saw Dou Jiao coming in wearing a pink bathrobe, followed closely by Rong Ying and Lin Jiaxue, both draped in white robes of the same style.
With their hair wet.
Smelling the wafting scent in the air, it seemed they were tired from swimming, attracted by the smell of lunch.
Dou Jiao sat down next to Tang Qing, glanced at the news, and curiously asked, "Additives? What now has excessive additives?" Her use of "again" expressed a kind of helplessness.
"A type of canned fruit, you probably don’t eat it usually," Tang Qing said casually.
"True, I haven’t had canned fruits for a long time," Dou Jiao nodded. With so many fresh fruits available on the market, it’s better to eat fresh ones, why bother with canned fruits? Rong Ying also walked up, looked at the news, and seemed to recall something.
"So it was this company’s canned fruits that had a problem, I saw it on the Blue Sky Network half a month ago," Rong Ying said as she sat next to Dou Jiao, sipping some iced tea served by a server.
Lin Jiaxue, puzzled, asked, "What is Blue Sky Network for?"
She seldom surfed the internet and only knew a few websites. Hearing Lin Jiaxue’s question, Rong Ying rested her chin on her hand, thought for a moment, then seriously said, "A really powerful and righteous website."
Speaking of this.
Rong Ying couldn’t stop talking.
Being a know-it-all is one of human nature’s aspects.
"Jiaxue, let me tell you, this website is really something. It’s basically well known in our journalism field and even globally. If you’re going into this line, you must visit this website.
There are a lot of news materials on it, involving the secrets of various industries, and nearly everything is true, to date unerringly accurate. The website has offended many people, let me tell you, it’s something else, even though it’s embroiled in countless lawsuits, but really..."
Rong Ying animatedly narrated the development of the ’Blue Sky Network’―typical of a journalist, turning her reporting into a captivating story that had Lin Jiaxue nodding continuously.
She hadn’t expected there to be such a website, but it felt somewhat like being at a story-telling session; Rong Ying’s storytelling was really quite interesting.
Dou Jiao, on the other hand, wasn’t involved.
Because she knew about this website.
Business Consultation.
It was all about business intelligence.
It’s about the ability to collect and compile information. The Blue Sky Network, a website with enemies all over the world, how could they not have captured the information inside which was also a critical business reference?
So,
during the entire lunch,
Rong Ying kept talking about the legendary stories of the Blue Sky Network.
Soon,
just like Rong Ying, Lin Jiaxue became a loyal fan of the website, resolved to pay more attention to this website in the future, and definitely not to buy products that had been exposed on it. However, looking around at the villa’s furniture and food,
Lin Jiaxue spotted a problem.
It seemed... all these things were customized, and she hadn’t found any information about the brands online.
What to do?
...
After eating,
they rested for a while.
The three continued swimming while Tang Qing went back to plunging Zheng Lin and the others into debt with "Warfire," creating a ’battle time’ every weekend to maintain the relationship through ’shared interest.’
Now "Warfire" was undoubtedly the hottest game in the world.
Without any rivalry.
It was also the most profitable game. The ERV’s financial report for the first quarter of the year showed a net profit of four hundred thirteen million dollars, a total profit from props and advertising fees. Once this revenue was released,
the outside world was in a complete uproar.
No one expected "Warfire" to be so profitable.
It was basically like robbery.
The valuation of ERV had also exceeded five billion dollars as a result.
Due to its rapid rise, ERV had become a legend in the industry, with other companies rushing to emulate it. However, the updates in map and gameplay of "Warfire" completely exceeded the copying speed of others.
Its massive and unpredictable task system had countless fans unable to stop, absolutely loving this game.
A step ahead is steps ahead.
"Warfire" had firmly occupied the market, and they could only follow behind and eat dust. With so much money, ERV also started its path of crazy expansion and acquisition.
From the beginning of the year until now,
ERV had acquired more than twenty internet companies, involving a variety of fields. They were very curious, what was ERV doing acquiring these second and third-tier internet companies?
Only Tang Qing and the Fighters knew.
They were looking to stir up trouble.
Search engine.
Antivirus software.
Office software.
Social platform.
Operating system.
Browser.
Input method.
Player.
...
Internet software covered too many aspects, and the top companies in the industry were all incredibly wealthy, impossible to acquire at the least cost. Since that was the case, why not stir the pot?
If luck was good,
they might bite off a big chunk.
If luck was explosive,
they might take down those ahead.
To rise to the top as a big shot.
This was ERV’s development model, finding a point of entry, then seizing the right moment, to thrust in a knife; if it doesn’t kill, then stab a few more times. You have thick blood, but I am tough. Let’s see who can take down whom.
If in the end, no one could take down the other,
then let’s collaborate.
Split the market together.
It’s no big deal.
This wasn’t Tang Qing’s original idea; it was learned from Old Ma. If I can’t buy you, I’ll purchase one of your competitors, foster them to fight you, and with my massive scale, your small fry can’t kill me.
Lastly,
Even if I don’t win,
I will still have a piece of the pie.
