Chapter 1171: It’s So No Matter If You’re Not the Chairman

Chapter 1171 So what if you're not the chairman

The number was from Robin Li. At this time, when he received a call from Robin Li, Lin Feng believed that it was definitely not a call from Robin Li to comfort him, and that something must have happened. Although Lin Feng didn't have any basis to prove his words, but Lin Feng just had this feeling.

"Director Lin..." Li Yanhong was stunned after finally calling Lin Feng, not knowing what to say for a moment.

At this moment, all the servers of "Baidu-Yahoo" have been restarted, everything is back to normal, and search engine services are once again provided to Internet users around the world. However, due to the sudden page crash at the critical moment of the "Oscar Awards" award ceremony just now, followed by a 45-minute server restart, "Baidu-Yahoo" fell into scolding.

All over the world, all "Baidu-Yahoo" users are criticizing the "Baidu-Yahoo" page crash just now, especially many users caused the system to crash. Although I don't know whether this is related to the crash of the "Baidu-Yahoo" page, it is an indisputable fact that several computers just crashed when the "Baidu-Yahoo" page crashed. Although technically speaking, the crash of the "Baidu-Yahoo" page will never cause the user's computer to crash, after all, these are two completely different concepts, which can be said to be completely irrelevant. Rather than saying that "Baidu-Yahoo" caused it to crash, it is better to say that it was the system of "Microsoft" that caused it to crash. It just happened to happen that the "Baidu-Yahoo" page crashed, and these incidents were finally blamed on "Baidu-Yahoo".

Many netizens even angrily denounced that the merger of "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo" resulted in a result of 1+1<2. And he said jokingly: Before "Baidu-Yahoo" threatens to challenge "gle", it is better to stop its system from crashing. Otherwise, "gle" doesn't need to do anything at all, and "Baidu-Yahoo" will collapse on its own.

Faced with these remarks on the Internet, Robin Li felt extremely bitter. In fact, this system crash was just an unexpected event, an extremely accidental event. If it weren't for the award ceremony of the "Oscar Awards"; if it wasn't for Lin Feng's online video broadcast; if it wasn't for "The Sequel to the Demon Sect Leader" invested by Lin Feng, which unexpectedly won 13 awards, but "Lord of the Rings" 3: The Return of the King won 11 awards, and the strong confrontation is exciting; if it weren't for "The Sequel to the Demon Sect Leader" won 13 nominations, but in the end it won nothing...

If there were not so many coincidences, it is absolutely impossible for 500 million people to use the "Baidu-Yahoo" search engine service at the same time, then the "vertical search engine technology" just launched will not collapse, and naturally it will not suffer from Internet users. An overwhelming attack. Of course, the most serious thing is that if there were not a few netizens who happened to have their computers crashed, there would not be as much resentment against "Baidu-Yahoo" on the Internet.

Well now, there are rumors on the Internet to use the "Baidu-Yahoo" search engine,

The remarks that may lead to a crash, these remarks are clamoring on the Internet, causing great panic. After all, there is no Internet user who is not afraid of crashing. Although most people have no loss when the machine crashes, but once the machine crashes, it needs to be restarted, so many people are unwilling to wait for this restart time.

"President Li, what's the matter, what's the matter?" Lin Feng couldn't hear Li Yanhong's next words for a long time, knowing that something serious must happen, probably related to "Baidu-Yahoo", his whole heart immediately raised his throat. Now that "Baidu-Yahoo" has just merged, nothing can go wrong, otherwise "gle" will take advantage of the opportunity to make things worse, that would be embarrassing. However, if the matter has already happened, it is useless to be anxious. On the contrary, it may cause more pressure on Li Yanhong and others. Therefore, Lin Feng tried his best to slow down his tone.

"Dong Lin, just now 'Baidu-Yahoo' was used by more than 500 million people around the world because of its search engine service, and the system crashed! Now..." Li Yanhong had a bitter face, and helplessly reported the situation to Lin Feng slowly.

When Lin Feng heard that the "Baidu-Yahoo" system had crashed, he hardly cried out. Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan had sworn before that the system would never crash, but the voice was still ringing in their ears, and the system crashed here, and the most serious system crash occurred, which made Lin Feng no longer know what to say.

"Mr. Li, I'll be right over!" Lin Feng stopped Robin Li from continuing to explain, hung up the phone immediately, and was about to leave for the "Yahoo" headquarters.

"Lin, what happened?" Avril and the others looked at Lin Feng with concern.

"Uh, something happened to the company, I have to rush there immediately. Zhiling, you go with me. Youyou, Avril Lavigne, Jessica, you all have a good rest. Allegra, I can't treat you to dinner, so I will let you go Youyou and the others will accompany you. I will treat you to dinner after my company is done!" Lin Feng looked at the girls, and after giving instructions, he hurried to the "Yahoo" headquarters with Lin Chiling.

Li Zhiyou and the others saw that Lin Feng was in such a hurry, and knew that something serious must have happened to his company. But in this respect, they can't help Lin Feng, so they can only be obedient, stay obediently, and don't make trouble for Lin Feng.

But Avril Lavigne is obviously not a girl who is easy to live idle. After Lin Feng left, seeing the dull atmosphere at the scene, Avril thought about it and clapped her hands.

"Uh, Allegra, it's probably the first time you've come to my 'Fantasy Ranch'. In this way, I'll treat you to a barbecue. Hee hee, Zhiyou, Jessica, let's go to the garden to have a barbecue, while drinking, While trying to figure out how to deal with those old bastards of 'Oscar'!" Avril clapped her hands and said.

Li Zhiyou, Jessica and Allegra, although they were not in the mood to barbecue and drink, but they agreed with finding ways to help Lin Feng vent his anger. At that moment, they agreed one after another. Under the leadership of Avril Lavigne, they ate barbecue and drank beer, thinking of various ideas to deal with "Oscar".

While Avril Lavigne and others were trying to help Lin Feng out, Lin Feng had already arrived at the "Yahoo" headquarters by special plane.

"President Li, what's going on?" Lin Feng entered the conference room and asked straight to the point.

Along the way, Lin Feng has gone online to understand the whole story. Knowing that my "Baidu-Yahoo" system crashed when the last award was awarded at the "Oscar Awards", and finally forced to restart the server to fix the error. In just 45 minutes, "Baidu-Yahoo" became the target of public criticism. Lin Feng casually browsed through some posts. Whether it is the United States, which has the lowest market share of "Baidu-Yahoo", or China, which has the highest market share, they all criticize this system crash incident. Many netizens even shouted The slogan of making "Baidu-Yahoo" compensate.

In a word, the online heroes are furious now, threatening to ask "Baidu-Yahoo" to come forward to explain and apologize, otherwise they will forever refuse to use all the network services provided by "Baidu-Yahoo". This is undoubtedly quite deadly! If netizens really spontaneously boycott "Baidu-Yahoo", it can be said that this newly merged "Baidu-Yahoo", a search engine company that is waiting to be re-listed, will face the threat of bankruptcy. Its market value will be worthless in an instant from the $64 billion estimated by financial analysts.

After all, a company that provides search engine services to netizens is naturally worthless if it has no customers. If this is the case, Lin Feng will be in big trouble. This is definitely not as simple as the loss of the "Baidu-Yahoo" company. This means that Lin Feng personally lost at least 20 billion U.S. dollars in property. US dollar financing "Baidu Portal", if "Baidu-Yahoo" finally declares bankruptcy, then Lin Feng's prestige in "Second Bank" and "Standard Bank of South Africa" ​​will drop to the lowest point.

In this way, it will affect not only the "Baidu-Yahoo" company, but also the two banks in Lin Feng's hands, and even the entire "Second Consortium" of Lin Feng. This is the disadvantage of integration. One prospers all, one loses all.

"Director Lin, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I underestimated and caused this unforgivable mistake. I am willing to accept any punishment!" Robin Li bowed his head and sincerely apologized.

"No, Director Lin, this matter is my fault. I was too optimistic and lacked the means to deal with disasters, so the system collapsed." Yang Zhiyuan also hurriedly apologized.

"Mr. Yang, this has nothing to do with you. This is a technical problem, not an administrative one." Robin Li interrupted Yang Zhiyuan's words and rushed to take responsibility.

"Mr. Li, if it wasn't for my mistake, how could your technical department make a mistake!" Yang Zhiyuan also refused to shirk his responsibility.

Seeing the two scrambling to take responsibility here, although Lin Feng felt that the two were a bit noisy, he felt warm in his heart. At least when the company encountered such a serious mistake, the main leaders of the company did not pass the buck to each other, otherwise the company would really be over.

"Okay, I didn't say who should be held accountable now. I want to know what's going on now? As for how to deal with you, it's not up to you, but up to me! Li Yanhong, you speak first!" Lin Feng interrupted the two of them and pointed at Li Yanhong.

Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan heard the words, and they looked at each other, with expressions like why are you fighting me. Fortunately, this time Lin Feng asked Li Yanhong to answer the call, otherwise the two of them might have to fight again.

"Boss, this time is due to technical reasons. Due to the imperfection of the 'vertical search engine technology', there will be a certain possibility of data overflow when dealing with excessive data traffic. Today is the data overflow, which eventually leads to system crashes As for the reason why the computers of those netizens crashed, according to our calculations, there should be a problem with the 'Microsoft' system, and it happened to crash at this time." Li Yanhong analyzed.

Lin Feng nodded after listening, and then looked at Yang Zhiyuan.

"Mr. Yang, is this what Mr. Li said?" Lin Feng asked.

Yang Zhiyuan thought about it and nodded, but after thinking about it, he added a few words. But what I said was just some details. As for the whole story, it was what Li Yanhong said.

Lin Feng listened, thought for a while, and nodded.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Yang, I think so-the problem of the system crash this time is due to a technical problem. Because the 'vertical search engine technology' is not perfect, when it exceeds its tolerance limit, the system finally breaks down. Crash. Do you think what I said is right?" Lin Feng expressed his judgment.

Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan nodded, and then asked in unison, "Whose responsibility is that?"

The two looked at each other, unexpectedly, both of them were asking this question.

"Is it me or him?" The two asked in unison again.

"Mr. Li, why do you always fight with me?" Yang Zhiyuan frowned. This incident made Yang Zhiyuan feel extremely guilty, so he desperately hopes to take responsibility, so that he can feel better.

"Mr. Yang, why do you help me take the responsibility? This is caused by me alone, and has nothing to do with you!" Li Yanhong, like Yang Zhiyuan, felt extremely guilty. Moreover, compared with Yang Zhiyuan, he was responsible for the development of this "vertical search engine technology" and launched it to the market, which eventually caused this consequence. He was really ashamed to face Lin Feng.

"Mr. Li, how can you say that..."

The two fought again.

Lin Feng was speechless for a while. There have always been only those who compete for merit, and there is no one who has ever competed. But seeing Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan's blushing and thick necks in this fight, Lin Feng finally felt a little better.

You know, just now Lin Feng suffered a great humiliation at the "Oscar Awards", and finally recovered a little bit with the support of Avril Lavigne and others. "It is conceivable that Lin Feng is in a bad mood at the moment of the worse news of being humiliated.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing! Fighting like a child, you will only be laughed at by your employees!" Lin Feng interrupted the argument between the two of them again, and said in an old-fashioned way .

Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan were a little angry when they heard the words. You know, Lin Feng is only 24 years old this year, and not yet, but both of them are over 30, and now they are treated like children by Lin, which really makes them a little speechless. If it wasn't for the fact that Lin Feng was the chairman, the two of them would really be in a hurry with Lin Feng. But looking at the employees covering their mouths and giggling around, the two of them knew that they couldn't fight anymore.

"Then Lin Dong, tell me who is responsible for this matter!" Yang Zhiyuan looked at Lin Feng with piercing eyes, waiting for the result from Lin Feng's mouth.

The same is true for Li Yanhong, watching Lin Feng silently.

Lin Feng smacked his lips, thought for a while, and sighed.

"In this matter, the problem lies with the technical department, but it must be to blame for such a big mistake!" Lin Feng said slowly.

Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan were a little stunned when they heard the words.

"Director Lin, you can't fire Mr. Li (Mr. Yang), the company can't do without him!" Jerry Yang and Robin Li said in unison again. When they heard Lin Feng's tone, which seemed to blame them, they were shocked immediately. They took responsibility in this way because they didn't want both of them to be punished. Now that the company is in troubled times, it is impossible to lose the two principal persons in charge at the same time. Otherwise, the future is bleak.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. Looking at the two of them, I was a little surprised. I don't know when, these two people actually have such a tacit understanding, and they actually cherish each other so much.

"When did I say I'm going to fire you?" Lin Feng said angrily.

"Then what do you mean..." The two of them didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.

"It's very simple, both of you are indeed responsible, but it's not you who are really responsible, but someone else!" Lin Feng sighed.

"Who!" The two asked in unison again. But neither Yang Zhiyuan nor Li Yanhong could think of anyone else who should be fully responsible for this incident. This incident was caused by the two of them.

"Me!" Lin Feng pointed to himself and said.

"Director Lin!" Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong were shocked.

"If anyone is responsible for this matter, it is only me. Because you all reported to me the imperfection of the 'vertical search engine technology' at the beginning, it was I who made the final decision. Now that something goes wrong, naturally I am in charge." Lin Feng explained.

"Director Lin, but you are the chairman. If something goes wrong in the company, why do you need to take responsibility!" Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong exclaimed.

Lin Feng shook his head.

"Someone must take responsibility for this matter, but it must not be you." Lin Feng said with a heavy tone.

Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong looked at each other, not knowing what Lin Feng meant.

Lin Feng looked at the people around him, thought for a while, and motioned Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan to follow him to Yang Zhiyuan's office.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, you should know that the company's shareholders are not all in one mind. I'm afraid many people are still dreaming of selling the company to 'Microsoft'!" Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

Li Yanhong didn't feel anything after hearing the words, but Yang Zhiyuan was shocked. Indeed, although "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo" have now merged to form a brand new "Baidu-Yahoo" company, there are still many shareholders in the company who strongly recommended to sell the company to "Microsoft" and are still doing it. Such a dream. At this time, if such a crisis erupts in the company, I'm afraid they can't wait for it.

"In this case, someone must take responsibility for this matter. If it is you, or you..." Lin Feng pointed to Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan, "it is not enough to bear all the responsibilities, I am afraid that those shareholders will force Both of you resign!" Lin Feng said.

Yang Zhiyuan thought for a while, then nodded slowly. Indeed, I am afraid that those shareholders will force them both to resign. Because this matter was handled by the two of them.

"If the company does not have the two of you in charge, I think that those real technical backbones will be in charge of other people. Those core backbones will definitely not accept it, and there will be troubles at that time. Once these technical backbones resign angrily, I am afraid that 'Baidu-Yahoo' will really be over!" Lin Feng said extremely worried.

This matter, the impact can not be said to be insignificant. There is a tendency to affect the whole body by pulling one hair, so Lin Feng has to think it over and treat it cautiously. In Lin Feng's view, "Baidu-Yahoo" can do without its own chairman, but at present it cannot do without Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong. Because these two people were the banner figures of the original "Yahoo" and the original "Baidu Portal", once they are no longer there, there will be chaos. At that time, not to mention that "gle" will take the opportunity to make things worse, I am afraid that "Microsoft" will also come to share a piece of the pie. What's more, without the two of them, how would Lin Feng manage the company?

Lin Feng absolutely cannot allow this to happen.

"But, Lin Dong, this is too unfair to you!" Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong said anxiously. This matter was originally their responsibility, but in the end it was Lin Feng who had to bear it, which made the two feel uncomfortable no matter how they thought about it.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, there is no fairness in this world. The so-called fairness needs to be obtained by strength. Besides, even if I am no longer the chairman, my shares are still there, and I can still participate." Baidu-Yahoo's decision-making, and the right to change everything!" Lin Feng said with a blink of an eye.

Indeed, even if Lin Feng no longer serves as the chairman, the shares in Lin Feng's hands will not change. As long as the shares are still there, Lin Feng still holds the decision-making power over "Baidu-Yahoo", and can still veto everything at the shareholders' meeting. This has nothing to do with whether Lin Feng is the chairman of "Baidu-Yahoo". What's more, giving up the status of a chairman can preserve the positions of Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong, Lin Feng thinks it is worth it.

If he counted his self-sacrifice this time in exchange for the gratitude of the two of them, then Lin Feng still made a profit. Compared with these, the position of chairman is not so important. What's more, if necessary, Lin Feng can be re-elected at the next shareholders' meeting. As long as I have shares, who can do anything to me!

"Director Lin, don't worry, we will definitely let 'Baidu-Yahoo' get out of the haze this time, 'Baidu-Yahoo' will never be knocked down by this difficulty!" Yang Zhiyuan looked at Lin Feng and announced his own oath.

"Also, 'Baidu-Yahoo' will definitely defeat 'gle' and become the new overlord of the search engine industry!" Robin Li added.

"Come on!" The three clapped their hands and swore.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, why are there so many unfavorable rumors about our company on the Internet? Didn't you take any countermeasures afterwards?" After solving the most difficult problem, Lin Feng turned his attention to the cause of the system crash. Come up with the aftermath.

"Dong Lin, I sent a written apology email to all users as soon as the page crashed, and frankly said that this incident will never happen again. It was an accident. But somehow, it was suddenly The people zoomed in. Especially those few people whose computers happened to crash unexpectedly, they kept complaining about the losses caused by the crashes in various forums, and as a result, the whole people were indignant. I suspect that someone behind the scenes is doing tricks." Yang Zhiyuan quite A little helpless to say.

Lin Feng nodded upon hearing this. It would be strange if no one made small moves behind this incident. This is an excellent opportunity to kill "Baidu-Yahoo" with one stick. As for who the culprit is, it is nothing more than "gle" and "Microsoft".

"By the way, Mr. Lin, I wonder what you can do to solve it?" Yang Zhiyuan was really at a loss for what to do now.

Lin Feng thought for a while, and he already had a solution to this matter in his mind.

But at this moment, a phone call came. It turned out that the shareholders of "Baidu-Yahoo" jointly held an emergency meeting.

Lin Feng, Li Yanhong, and Yang Zhiyuan looked at each other. It was obvious that the visitor was not friendly this time!
