Chapter 2218: The Ministry of Commerce's Blow
"gee" took action to help Lin Feng delete all links about Lin Feng beating people and Dingdang.com harming consumers. But in the Internet age, how can this connection be completely deleted, especially when many large portals reported on "gee" at length, and this move was immediately noticed by many large portals. How could these portals miss this wonderful event at such a sensitive time? Report it immediately.
This time, things got serious. Lin Feng actually used the power of the Internet to suppress news, which has violated the purpose of freedom of the press. Although this does not violate any laws, it is immoral. And this also raises a thought-provoking question: If someone controls the Internet in the future, will it imprison people's minds?
Although the Internet is said to be "free" and unfettered, what if one day people have to be cautious when speaking on the Internet? …
Although this may seem a bit fanciful now, "gee"'s deletion of all comments about Lin Feng this time has served as a wake-up call to everyone.
"What should I do if I can't speak freely on the Internet?" 》
The Times, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and other newspapers reported the matter with great fanfare, and even opened columns to discuss Internet freedom. As a result, the entire people were indignant and declared that they must prevent such a terrible thing from happening.
To prevent such a terrible thing from happening, the first thing to do is to eliminate monopoly. Monopoly cannot be allowed to occur on the Internet.
A joint appeal was made by the British "Times", "Daily Telegraph", "Mirror" and "Guardian".
Lou people want freedom, their bodies need freedom, and their spirit needs freedom even more!
40% of television stations and 35% of newspapers in the United States also called out loudly.
The media in Australia, France, Germany and other countries have also called for it, claiming that it is necessary to prevent the advent of spiritual monopoly in the Internet era to prevent the human spirit from being enslaved and entering the dark age of the European Middle Ages.
Under the guidance and incitement of the global media, the masses once again erupted with amazing power. Large-scale demonstrations broke out in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan and other countries to protest against the "speech" blockade on the Internet. It calls for freedom of spirit and freedom of speech. And aimed directly at Lin Feng.
Because currently only Lin Feng personally owns the actual controlling rights of "Baidu-Yahoo" and 20% of the shares of "gee", and is the largest individual shareholder of "gee". Only Lin Feng is most likely to block online discussions. The wind is alone.
Immediately, the U.S. Department of Commerce launched an investigation into the matter.
And it only took three hours
Later, the Ministry of Commerce informed Lin Feng of the review results. Since both "Baidu-Yahoo" and "gee" Lin Feng held huge shares, they were suspected of monopoly, so they had to give up "Baidu-Yahoo"...
Shares either give up "gee" shares up to one of two shares which can retain its 5 shares.
After receiving the fax from the US Department of Commerce, Lin Feng frowned slightly. This incident once again exceeded Lin Feng's expectations. Lin Feng never expected that "gee" would suddenly intervene and take the initiative to help him block those connections on the Internet that were targeting him. This was great, and it directly confirmed the fact that he was attacking the company and harming consumers. Not only was the company's stock price all the way It plummeted, and it was also investigated by the U.S. Department of Commerce and ordered to withdraw its shares directly on the grounds of monopoly.
Good guy, this series of methods is really clever!
Lin Feng sighed in admiration.
There must be an expert behind this. All it takes is for "gee" to move his hands and ask the programmer to write a piece of code, and he will be surrounded by enemies on all sides. This is especially a blow to my future Internet empire. "Baidu-Yahoo" and "gee," are what Lin Feng must control. Owning these two companies will have the right to speak in the Internet era in the future.
If sold, Lin Feng would not be willing.
"Boss, Mr. Ron called." Liv handed the phone to Lin Feng.
"Hey Ron, how's it going? Is this lawsuit going to be fought?... Lin Feng asked.
"Lin, there might be some trouble this time. Due to "gee. This behavior has effectively restricted the freedom of speech of netizens. Although the United States has no relevant laws to restrict it, it has given the Ministry of Commerce an excuse. Lin, my suggestion is that you'd better dispose of the stocks in your hands. For example, "Bila, sell the stocks to someone who is not related to you, so that you can avoid the impact of this incident." Ron was helpless. explain.
This time he was caught by the US Department of Commerce. Although Lin Feng's small share in "gee" has no influence on the overall situation of "gee", this is basically a conspiracy, but regardless of whether it is a conspiracy or not, the US government Nor does he hope that Lin Feng can influence the Internet. Just take the opportunity to drive Lin Feng away from "gee" in advance. Ensure the purity of "gee".
"Then if I want to sell it, can people like Avril create gods?" Lin Feng asked.
"No. Lin, Avril is too close to you, and she is the president of "Second Entertainment. If you sell it to her, the US Department of Commerce will not approve the transaction. At that time, ‘gee’ can even create a god to directly purchase your shares at the market price. And Ellison is not a candidate for joint employment. Your relationship is too close and the US Department of Commerce will not approve it. You have to find someone who will reassure the U.S. Department of Commerce and also reassure you. This person is hard to find. "Ron said helplessly.
Although American law is said to be fair and just, it is only procedural fairness and does not mean true fairness. This time the U.S. Department of Commerce seized on the situation and made a painful mistake. No matter how thorough Ron and his team's legal research was, it was useless.
Lin Feng frowned, now he was in trouble.
"Lin, I can't provide any advice on candidates. All I can do is help you extend the time as much as possible, so that you have enough time to consider suitable candidates." After Ron finished speaking, he hung up the phone helplessly. This time it can be said that this is the first time that Ron Law Firm has chosen to give up on a lawsuit. Otherwise, if the fight continues, the probability of Lin Feng losing in the end is as high as 99%.
Lin Feng nodded and hung up the phone. At this time, Abby Cohen also called.
"Lin, I don't know. "gee, what exactly is going on with this incident? In short, it will have an extremely negative impact on you. Now in your "Second World", the stock has fallen by 1%, and the direct economic losses have exceeded 20 billion US dollars. And the subsequent impact of this incident will continue forever. Even if you follow the decision of the U.S. Department of Commerce, you must pay yourself back. It's fair. There is a saying in the United States: It only takes three years to make a comeback after bankruptcy, but it will take at least seven years to start over again if you lose your credibility. This is also a common rule in the Western world. You must do justice to yourself!" Abby Cohen was extremely serious.
Lin Feng nodded and put down the phone.
Now, the situation is serious. Did you go too far this time? Lin Feng shook his head. Even if this incident didn't happen this time, the US Department of Commerce would definitely seize an excuse to force him to withdraw his shares in the future.
On the contrary, I initiated this incident on my own initiative and came prepared. The U.S. Department of Commerce may be able to make me reluctantly choose to withdraw my shares this time, but it will not be able to cause other blows to myself. It’s just that it’s really unpleasant for “gee” to be forced by the U.S. Department of Commerce to withdraw its shares.
Lin Feng was silent, and Liv and others did not dare to say a word, silently thinking about how they could help Lin Feng. After all, they were secretaries hired by Lin Fenglou and were not here to work as vase.
Right now, on the other side of the world.
"Haha, Lin Feng is going to be unlucky this time. I want to see if he really turns on the halo of God. This can save the day." In the White House, President Bush drank champagne and celebrated.
"Your Excellency, according to our investigation, this is a long-planned action by Intel. Now Lin Feng, with his control and 'a' advantage, continues to encroach on Intel's market share and position in the personal computer industry." Intel, a forced counterattack," the staff reported.
Intel's counterattack? Bush frowned slightly. Was this just done by Intel? Although Intel has the strength and motivation, Bush does not believe it. But regardless of whether there are people behind Intel, this has nothing to do with Bush. Bush is very happy that someone helps him teach Lin Feng a lesson. Therefore, when the Ministry of Commerce investigated this incident, it did not give a little push and let it come to a conclusion within three hours and sent a notification letter to Lin Feng.
"By the way, how are things going in Somalia?" Bush asked.
"Your Excellency, Somalia already knows that an aircraft carrier loaded with materials and money without any defense force owned by the world's richest man will pass through Somalia. I think they, poor and crazy pirates, will definitely take action. As for weapons, we have secretly provided them Give it a batch of submachine guns and a few assault boats, I believe Lin Feng's aircraft carrier can't escape." The staff chuckled.
Bush nodded with satisfaction. The United States must take back this aircraft carrier. Even if it cannot take it back, it cannot give Lin Feng an advantage. The Somali pirates are naturally the most suitable target at this time, Lou Mellon.
"Lin Feng, I hope you can survive this crisis, otherwise it will be hard to find an interesting opponent. It would be too boring for you to lose like this." Arroyo Mellon said lightly.
〖Japan〗 Japan, Emperor's Palace.
"Well, I want to see how Lin Feng is prepared to respond this time." Emperor Naruhito sneered.
〖Japan〗This Sony headquarters.
"How is the plan going?" Hirai Kazuo asked.
"All the pieces have been laid," said one of Sony's directors.
Frankfurt, Europe.
"Grandpa, do you need us to help Lin Feng?" Gary Rothschild said.
"No, he can't handle this matter well, and he doesn't deserve to be our ally. Gary, you should never underestimate those people in G23. They are scary, especially those old foxes."
