Chapter 243 Balanshan is unbearable: Don’t… don’t say it
"Just a few minutes ago, Xinsheng Network suddenly announced the restart plan of the Hundred Stores Alliance."
"They plan to hold a reopening celebration on New Year's Day, with Jinling as the core and radiating to 365 franchise stores in East China, Central China, and North China..."
Snapped!
The female secretary hadn't finished speaking yet.
The cigar in Balanshan's hand fell to the ground.
"How many did you say? 365 franchise stores. Are you crazy, or am I? They've only been open for four months, and you're telling me they're finishing three stores every day. Do you think that's possible?"
Mount Balan stood up in shock.
He had just confidently told Tojo-kun that the mainland Internet cafe chain industry was about to fall into his hands.
You immediately told me that Xinsheng Network’s 365 franchised Internet cafes had been restarted.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
The female secretary shrank back in fear and said tremblingly, "Boss Ba, I was right. Just a few minutes ago, Xinsheng Network just posted this news on its official website."
"Also, according to the information we have, the honest company responsible for the renovations for Xinsheng Network not only used Xinsheng Network's bidding plan, but also formed ten streamlined construction teams. Each team was divided into five or six groups, responsible for wiring reconstruction, plastering, flooring, ceiling installation, and carpentry renovations. With each team working seamlessly together, they compressed the project time from fifteen days to twenty days to less than ten."
"Now, Chengxin Company has opened six branches."
"If it weren't for the limited funds and the fact that Chengxin Company deliberately controlled its expansion speed, their scale and reputation would be even greater."
"Now, many people would rather wait in line than have their shops and houses renovated by honest companies..."
Balanshan's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand impatiently. "That's enough. I'm not interested in this so-called honest company. Go on, what else does Xinsheng Network do?"
The female secretary carefully handed over the folder. "Xinsheng Network has officially filed a lawsuit. This is the court summons. Furthermore, according to Xinsheng Network's latest announcement, the original internet cafe management software will automatically update in half an hour. Unauthorized internet cafes must publicly apologize and compensate for losses within half an hour. Otherwise, their anti-theft program will be activated, and you will bear all consequences yourself..."
"Haha, you'll take your own consequences? Just because he's just a peasant, he thinks he deserves that?"
Balanshan laughed in anger, "Notify the Legal Department and show that kid, who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, what a professional team is."
The female secretary glanced at Balanshan cautiously and said, "Boss Ba, I'm afraid we can't win."
Balanshan's face darkened. "What do you mean?"
The female secretary handed the folder forward again. "Although the previous authorization agreement stipulates that Xinsheng Network has the obligation to update and upgrade and provide subsequent maintenance, the premise is..."
Balanshan, “What is the premise?”
The female secretary said tremblingly, "You cannot betray your motherland. This includes but is not limited to selling state secrets, commercial interests, reselling state-controlled materials, and..."
Balanshan was inexplicably uneasy and said angrily, "Just say it."
The female secretary shrank back in fear, "And collaborate with those who insult China..."
boom!
Balanshan was so angry that he grabbed the ashtray and smashed it to the ground. The flying glass fragments cut the secretary's legs and cheeks, but the secretary lowered her head and dared not move at all.
"Waste, all of them are waste, tell the manager of the legal department to come here." Balanshan suppressed his anger and roared with gritted teeth.
The female secretary said, "The legal manager resigned this morning."
Balanshan's voice suddenly rose an octave. "Resign? Okay, very good. I'll deal with him when I'm free. Send the deputy manager of the legal department over here..."
The female secretary lowered her head and shrank back, "The deputy manager of the legal department also resigned..."
Mount Balan, "..."
The female secretary said, "They resigned together and took their entire legal team with them..."
Balanshan gnashed his teeth in hatred, "Then contact the best law firm in Jinling for me."
The female secretary said, "I activated the emergency plan this morning and had people contact famous law firms in Jinling. But so far, the top three law firms in Jinling have refused to cooperate with us. Even the well-known law firms in Lin'an and Shanghai have rejected our invitation..."
Balanshan's eyes suddenly turned black, and he quickly held onto the corner of the table, reluctantly waved his hand, and asked the female secretary to leave.
But the next second, the female secretary uttered two words tremblingly, "And..."
Balanshan held onto the table and gritted his teeth, "What else? Tell me all at once."
The female secretary spoke quickly, as if she had received a pardon. "The Penguin software that Young Master Ba had cracked has also been upgraded. The old version of the Penguin software is no longer usable."
Balanshan, "It doesn't matter. It's just a small software. How many people can use it?"
The female secretary glanced at Balanshan tremblingly and added, "Currently, its official website shows that it has over 300 million registered users, of which about 50 are in Jinling..."
Mount Balan, "..."
The female secretary said, "If this matter isn't handled promptly, Overlord Network's existing internet cafes and franchise stores will likely lose a significant number of customers, as they're already accustomed to chatting while playing games..."
Balanshan took a deep breath and said, "Next."
The female secretary said, "The Penguin portal website officially launched half an hour ago. It's not much different from other portals overall, but they've opened a separate section for Bashi news. Negative news about us, Bashi, accounts for one-third of the total news..."
Balanshan, "How much?"
The female secretary said, "There are over 1000 news items, and 365 of them are negative news about our Ba family."
Mount Balan, "..."
The female secretary said, "Penguin Portal has also opened a section for redressing grievances, modeled after the family search website. So far, it's full of accusations against me, Ba. Furthermore, all of them are filed under real names..."
Balanshan's body shook, "..."
The female secretary said, "Also, before I came in, news came from Overlord Network that Zhang Ziqiang and Wang Shuai, the technical directors of Overlord Network, had surrendered themselves and sought police protection. They said that Young Master Ba forced them to steal Xinsheng Network's internet cafe management software, and they provided a recording..."
"Also, several employees of Qiufengyuan submitted similar evidence."
Mount Balan, "..."
The female secretary said, "Someone has also submitted video evidence to law enforcement, saying that the Overlord Network is operating a scam under the guise of selling fake goods, organizing prostitution in the Supreme VIP box..."
Mount Balan, "..."
The female secretary said, "And..."
"Stop...stop talking..."
