Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 1012 I avoid his edge?
The moment the live broadcast signal was cut off became the loudest declaration of victory or defeat.

Whether TT will ultimately be banned, retained, or forced to be sold off remains unknown.

But the forced interruption of the live stream has shown the world one thing: some people are afraid.

Outside the Capitol, the emotions of tens of thousands of people were pushed to a peak like a roller coaster.

A deafening cheer suddenly erupted, and people embraced and jumped for joy. Shouts of "We won!" echoed across the square, as if the battle had been won.

They know the final verdict is still pending, but this blatant act of "silencing" has turned their touted "freedom of speech" into a huge joke.

A moment later, the security personnel responsible for maintaining order on the perimeter twitched at the sight of the newly raised banners below the stage.

——#ProtectFreedomOfSpeech#, #T**mpRunAway#.

These signs stood out starkly in the silence.

Countless viewers watching the live stream suddenly discovered that the signal had been cut off.

Although the screen was black, the comments were white.

"What happened? Why did the XX platform crash?"

"Is it my network card?!"

"Could it be a cyberattack?"

Soon, the fragmented information began to piece together the truth: it wasn't a technical glitch, but rather the House of Representatives had deliberately cut off the live stream.

The reason is suspected to be that Chen Mo launched an extremely fierce legal and moral counterattack during the live broadcast, exposing certain "national scandals," which forced the parliament to take the extreme measure of "pulling the plug" to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

"Why won't they let Chen Mo speak? Is it because what Chen Mo said is true?"

"Is this the country that always touts 'freedom of speech'? It's ironic."

"Look! Chen Mo has driven them to this point! They'd rather interrupt the live stream than reveal the truth!"

All the anger turned to the House of Representatives.

The climax was abruptly cut off, just like when the author cut the story off at the most crucial moment while you were following it. I felt like sending them a knife.

"You're the ones who started the broadcast, and you're the ones who will shut it down. If you can't handle the game, then don't play it. You're a bunch of clowns!"

"It's obvious that he fabricated a lie and was caught red-handed, unable to make sense of it! This is a guilty conscience and a typical act of evasion!"

"It's hard to imagine that a superpower would do something like covering its mouth in front of a global audience. Even if TT loses in the end, it's still a win."

"I hereby declare that Chen Mo on the other side is my half-brother."

"A billionaire as your brother? You're really shameless to try and take advantage of him. He's my biological father, whom I have no blood relation to and have never met!"

The "live broadcast interruption" has become the new focus: the core of the incident has shifted from the "passing of the bill" to "why the live broadcast was interrupted".

The headlines of news reports from various countries that were broadcasting live have also changed due to this sudden event.

The initial title, "Live from the House Questioning TT," quickly changed to "Dramatic Turn of Events! Live Broadcast Suddenly Cut Off During Parliamentary Session: Was it Human Action or a Technical Collapse?" or "Globally Watched Live Broadcast Ends Amid Controversy, Sparking Global Speculation."

A TV presenter from a certain country had to abandon his prepared script and start improvising: "We are witnessing an extremely rare scene: a parliament that is under global scrutiny has been interrupted for unknown reasons."

The reasons behind this undoubtedly add a thicker layer of mystery to this already complex situation.

The commentators' remarks were more incisive, no longer limited to the bill itself, but directly addressing the core issues:

"Just how lethal was Chen Mo's counterattack that it made the other side willing to bear global condemnation in order to stop it?"

"Does this interruption confirm the truth he previously revealed?"

"This is not just a public relations disaster, but also a disastrous strategic retreat."

In short, what could have been a meeting with clear stances and a black-and-white perspective was completely transformed into a blurred, divided, and suspicious panorama of modern public opinion due to the "live broadcast interruption" incident.

The cheers outside the Capitol grew louder and louder, while global discussion surged to unprecedented levels due to this massive information black hole.

Everyone wants to know: what exactly is hidden behind that cut-off signal?
Chen Mo's unfinished words became the biggest mystery on the global internet, piquing the curiosity of netizens worldwide.

Speculation, rumors, and unverified "live clips" began to circulate rapidly.

The internet has descended into a collective frenzy of watching the spectacle with unbridled enthusiasm.

First, the large screen image was interrupted. A few seconds later, the image on the phone began to shake violently, and the video connection was also interrupted.

Chen Mo looked at the materials he had only flipped through halfway on the podium, sighed, and seemed somewhat unsatisfied.
Damn it, no matter how fast he rushed or how much he tried to squeeze in, his words couldn't keep up with the other person's speed.
He looked up at the faces below the stage, still frozen in shock, and suddenly grinned:

"This lesson tells us who our enemy is and how we should deal with our enemy."

As everyone has seen, our CEO, Zhou Shouzi, performed exceptionally well, even gaining the upper hand at one point.

But passive defense will only embolden the opponent. What should we do next?

He guided the audience step by step, extending the microphone towards the audience.

Suddenly, a furious roar exploded: "Fuck the motherfucker!"

Unexpectedly, there was a remarkable person among them, and all eyes were instantly drawn to him. It turned out to be the senior student who had shared his case with them at the opening ceremony.
Chen Mo took a closer look and was surprised to find that the person who suited him best now was his former boss, Wang Defa, who used to treat his employees like beasts of burden. Oh, he should be called Wang Shoude now.

He gave him a thumbs up with some emotion, "The words may be rough, but the meaning is sound. This student is right! That's exactly it!"
Of course, this word only represents momentum and attitude, not a verb; everyone should distinguish between them.

The serious atmosphere was instantly broken, and laughter erupted from the audience.

"Therefore, when our company faces difficulties, whether it is our own production capacity or R&D problems, or external mudslinging and saturation attacks, the conventional response is often to deal with it coldly, to avoid making more mistakes by doing too much."

In such cases, if one party responds improperly, they may find themselves in a ridiculous situation where they haven't even put up any effort yet, and their opponent has already stabbed them in the back. This kind of situation has happened frequently in the past and will likely become common in the future.

Sometimes it's better not to do anything at all; doing too much can lead to more mistakes.

This approach involves developing quietly, letting time work its magic, refining its products, and letting actual sales figures speak for themselves to compete in the market, rather than indulging in short-term rhetoric.

Alternatively, taking a step back and using the "outlasting the old man" tactic to wear down the opponent might lead to a breakthrough, which is also a viable option.

This is the lesson that Shou-Tzu Chew taught everyone by personally experiencing the game: a passive defense and counterattack might lead to victory, but it would only be a Pyrrhic victory.

Have you noticed that Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, is doing something similar? Recently, Xiaomi products have also suffered similar cyber saturation attacks in the market, and he is using this kind of soft and gentle approach, like a gentle breeze brushing against a mountain.

But this approach doesn't suit me, nor does it suit the style of the other side.

In the arena of competition, it is often the cowardly and timid who dies first, while the reckless live longer.

The other side didn't develop in a harmonious, "you're all happy, I'm happy, everyone's happy" environment.

Chen Mo spoke calmly, but everyone could still detect the lingering stench of blood from the battlefield.

Those businesspeople and media professionals who had dealt with Beyond couldn't help but nod in agreement: in the past decade of China's internet history, Beyond emerged from the cracks between BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) and fought their way out like a war god.

More often, however, are business owners who are not particularly familiar with the other side or Chen Mo's style.

They only now belatedly realize that the dean truly treated them as his students.

If the opening ceremony speech, which was factual and reasonable, was like a Bodhisattva with gentle brows, then this all-encompassing barrage of attacks was truly the wrath of a Vajra.

The Americans have finally shot themselves in the foot.

The scene just now, where they used the same tactics against each other, left them with an impression that they would likely never forget.

This gave them more confidence in their subsequent learning and future business operations, while also instilling a sense of awe in them.

"Well then, that concludes this lesson."

Suddenly, someone in the audience raised their hand and shouted, "Dean, aren't you worried about what TT will do next and what kind of retaliation the other side might launch?"

Chen Mo sneered upon hearing this, "Heh~ I should avoid their sharp edge?"
Next, the other side never fights unprepared. However, this is your homework. Focus on observation, watch carefully, and learn well!
get out of class dismissed! "

Everyone stood up again, their voices deafening:
"Goodbye, Dean!"

Chen Mo nodded, waved, and turned to leave.

The crowd lingered, discussing the matter, while the reporters nearby were thoroughly exasperated.

Due to professional sensitivity, some content is simply not suitable for publication.

For example, "Who are our enemies?" and those cathartic "foul language".

Although relations between the two sides are becoming increasingly tense, can this be reported indiscriminately?

The most frustrating thing about reporting news from the other side of the strait is that they always manage to create a big stir, but sometimes the scope is too broad, and they simply can't control it.

As dawn breaks, the east turns white.

After being closed for more than five hours, the doors of the Capitol finally reopened.

Zhou Shouzi came out, squinting slightly as he looked eastward, bathed in the morning light.

TT's supporters in the square erupted in enthusiastic cheers, welcoming their hero's return.

Compared to Zhou Shouzi, Chen Mo, who suddenly emerged, clearly had a greater affinity for Westerners.

Previously, Chen Mo's fame was mostly limited to the domestic internet circle, global gamers, and the business world.

In terms of international prestige, he is far inferior to Lao Ma, who is adept at social maneuvering and networking with celebrities.

Among billions of internet users abroad, Chen Mo's presence in the top ten of the rich list can only be described as having some fame.

And now look what happened. After ten years of business without anyone knowing him, he suddenly became famous overnight after being attacked by the enemy.

Have you heard of Chen Mo?

"I don't know~ Who is he~"

"The one that launched the attack right in front of the House of Representatives."

"Oh! It was him!"

That's roughly the level of popularity. On some overseas forums, Chen Mo has been hailed as a "pioneer of anti-hegemony."

Some even suggested that he run for president in their country next year.
Against this backdrop, Chen Mo rose to fame overnight, becoming a top global internet celebrity.
Around seven in the morning, Lao Dong woke up in his incredibly luxurious bed.

Washing up, breakfast—everything proceeded as planned.

After that night, he figured the hearing should have yielded the results he wanted—if fifty-two people couldn't out-argue one person, they might as well die.

On the way from the "company" to the office, the subordinates greeted each other, but their eyes held a hint of unspoken words.

This made him feel a slight unease.

Pushing open the office door, I saw my assistant standing there with a tablet in hand, his face ashen as if he were about to be sentenced.

Old Dong frowned:

"Does Zhou Shouzi think he can defy the heavens?"

"Zhou Shouzi is alright, he's on Chen Mo's side."

"Chen Mo? There's no news that he's entered the country."

Seeing his assistant hesitate, he snatched the tablet away.

The screen displayed a pivotal moment from last night's meeting—

“T**mp, ********, F**k U!******”

Although I only understood two words, I could guess what kind of person they were from the rest of the conversation.

Being publicly insulted by name on a global live stream gradually wore him down, even though he had a thick skin from years of experience.

Why didn't you call me?!

"Sir, as you instructed before, no matter how important the matter is, we must not disturb your rest."

"Uh? Then you must have missed something, except for things that are more important than the sky, like this, you know?"

"Yes, Sir!"

Time ticked by, and Lao Dong stared at the tablet, his chest heaving, occasionally letting out a curse:

"FK, are you guys just sitting around doing nothing, taking those stipends?"

"A bunch of useless trash, you'll all be nailed to the pillar of historical shame!"

"You only broke it now? What were you thinking, waiting all this time?!"

Finally, in a fit of rage, he slammed the tablet to the ground and then kicked it twice more as if to vent his anger.

What are the online comments saying?

The assistant said tremblingly, "Uh, sir, I suggest you don't look."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, he turned around and opened his computer. After only a few glances, everything went black, and he almost fainted—the sky couldn't have fallen.

He paced back and forth on the soft carpet, muttering to himself:
“Look at everyone else, they're all very cooperative, it's so simple! Nobody understands this process better than me. But with TT? It's all problems! They hate me, but the others, they love me.”

"Especially that Chen Mo, who does he think he is? How dare he criticize me in front of the whole world? Is this a personal attack? No!"
This is an insult to a nation, and we must always remember it!

"TT must be banned! The same goes for the other side, they're in cahoots! We will take action, we will win, and make our country great again!"

Just as the carpet was about to reach its ignition point, he suddenly stopped and gave an order.
"Prepare yourselves, convene an emergency plenary session to vote on the TT Bill."

"Sir, this is not in accordance with procedure."

"To hell with procedures! I sign the XX order, I am the procedure!"
TT must die, even the Statue of Liberty can't save it!

He then picked up the phone and began communicating with various parties about the matter.
An hour later, Lao Dong gave an interview, smiling:
"Oh, that was just a minor technical glitch; it was a beautiful accident."

Things weren't as exaggerated as everyone was saying. Our communication went very smoothly afterwards, and I believe TT will definitely reach a result that everyone can accept!

In the afternoon, he suddenly remembered the jarring song he had heard that morning, especially the lyrics, which made him very unhappy.

He was unhappy, so he had to find someone else to be unhappy with, and he made a direct call to Cook.
"...Returning with the humblest dream, don't you know our relationship with 'yi'? How is it humble? Songs like this should be removed from all online platforms."

"I don't care what method you use, 'The Lone Warrior' cannot be played on iPhones, or Apple will be paying a fine."

Meanwhile, at Apple headquarters, Cook was completely dumbfounded by the phone call. "You got scolded and instead of confronting the person in charge, you took it out on a song and then asked me to do your dirty work."
Annoyed as he was, he still had to get on with his work, so he turned around and gave the order:
"I don't care what methods you use, 'The Lone Warrior' cannot be played on iPhones, or you'll be facing a shutdown."

"User feedback? What's with the punishment for sensitive words? Just say it's a system compatibility bug. Do I need to teach you that?"

Meanwhile, Chen Mo returned to the Beyond Science and Technology Park from Wutong College, organized the materials, and headed to the city center.

He had someone register a personal TT account and then had the media "inadvertently" leak the news, which quickly spread.

Given his current global popularity, his fan base is skyrocketing.

When Chen Mo arrived at the location and was waiting for a report, he received news that in just one hour, his TT account had gained over ten million followers without publishing any content. Moreover, as time went by and the information spread, the growth rate of followers was like a 100-meter sprint, only getting faster and faster.

During this period, domestic and international media provided comprehensive coverage and interpretation of what may be the largest live-streamed hearing in history.

Domestic state media outlets have all jumped in, sparking heated discussions.

On Weibo, the discussion on this topic is most concentrated, and the emotional expression is also the most vivid.

Related hashtags have garnered hundreds of millions of views, and popular comments generally show support for TT, Zhou Shouzi, and Chen Mo, while also containing sarcasm and dissatisfaction with their actions.

The Zhihu platform, on the other hand, exhibits a deeper and more diverse discussion ecosystem.

Users tend to engage with TT through lengthy analytical articles, exploring various possible future directions from multiple perspectives, including international regulations and business logic. Rational thinking and voices from different viewpoints are presented more fully here.

On video platforms such as Douyin and Bilibili, emotions are spread and amplified in a more intuitive and entertaining way.

Short videos, memes, and derivative works based on characters like "Yellow Hair" have circulated widely, amplifying public sentiment with easily understood visual language, especially in the mockery and satire of the enemy's image.

Because the story of "Zhuge Liang's debate with the Confucian scholars" is so deeply ingrained in people's minds, this confrontation has been hailed by netizens as a modern version of "debating with a herd of beasts."

Zhou Shouzi and Chen Mo's performances, coupled with their handsome appearances and powerful auras, won overwhelming praise.

However, compared to Chen Mo, who has gained international fame, the Chinese public pays more attention to Zhou Shouzi, after all, "Little Mo" is someone that everyone has "watched grow up" over the past few years.

Subsequently, Zhou Shoujin's impressive resume was exposed, clips of his past public speeches were widely circulated, and even attracted many celebrities to speak out in support on social media.

Among them, the most popular was the analysis article by 36Kr titled "Paper Tiger".

"This meeting was essentially a power struggle, with TT in a completely weak position, but judging from the current results, that is not the case."

Zhou Shouzi used reason to fight against hypocrisy, while Chen Mo used savagery to tear apart pretense; together, they deconstructed the "narrative of justice" of Western parliaments.

TT's fate is not just a business issue, but also a microcosm of certain other problems.

Chen Mo's revelations and counterattacks directly targeted the core of the other side's double standards.

Moreover, judging from the current trend of online dissemination, Chen Mo's move of sending a "greeting in the style of the Eight-Nation Alliance" that the world did not expect is not only a historic counterattack against Western hegemony, but also conforms to the communication logic of the Internet age - simple, crude, and easy to spread.

The heated discussions among netizens from various countries also reflect the complex attitude of the international community towards hegemony. These condemnations seem to be an outlet for emotions that have been accumulating in the hearts of the public for a long time.

The most ironic thing is that the interruption of the live broadcast signal completely exposed the limitations of so-called "freedom of speech," implying that the premise for truth to become clearer through debate is that "the other party allows you to speak."

Chen Mo's "madness" and Zhou Shouzi's "stability" are actually two sides of the same coin, together forming a deconstruction of systemic oppression, and may serve as a classic case study for corporate self-preservation.

The interruption of the live stream was not the end, but the beginning of an even bigger storm.

Let's look forward to what happens next.

I also wish TT a successful outcome.
36Kr will provide real-time updates and reports.

Internationally, the Global Times stated: "This was a 'hostile hearing.' Over five hours of arguing and grandstanding exposed the ugly faces of politicians. It was a failed and ugly meeting, without exception."

Wired magazine believes that "blaming all the problems on TT is irresponsible. Now the video has spread across the internet and has been met with countless criticisms. Many netizens condemn the actions of these congressmen, saying they have lost face and it is a very foolish thing to do."

Three days later, a plenary session was held to vote on the "ban or sell" bill for TT.

Of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 4 were vacant, and 431 members actually voted.

Voting results: 342 votes in favor, 65 votes against, and 14 abstentions.

The bill was eventually passed.

Perhaps, if Chen Mo had only criticized one person, the situation would have been different.

However, his subsequent attacks were too extensive, almost sweeping away local tech companies, which ironically led to a rare high degree of consensus between the two factions on this issue.

According to the bill, TT's parent company is required to relinquish its control over TT within 90 days or face a complete ban in the U.S. market.

This means that if TT fails to find a buyer within the deadline, it will eventually be removed from US app stores.

Users who have already downloaded the app can use it temporarily, but they will not receive updates. The app will gradually become unstable and eventually become unusable. New users will not be able to download it at all.

It should be noted that such legislation usually gives a period of at least 185 days to a year for gradual implementation, but this time it was an extremely rare 90 days, which shows the immense anger and impatience of the people behind it.

The news sparked another wave of protests!

When Chen Mo received the news immediately, he finally felt a sense of relief, as if his shoes had finally landed.

This result was reasonable and expected.

He looked at everyone in the conference room and calmly ordered, "Everyone, let's begin."

An hour later, the TT account "Chen Mo", which had surpassed 50 million followers, posted two works in a row: one was "Eight Kills" and the other was a highlight video with "The Lone Warrior".

This has further fueled the already slight cooling trend of the past two days.

Although it may attract new inquiries, the ban has already been issued, so TT has nothing to lose and is not afraid of those wearing shoes.

Three hours later, Beyond International issued a public announcement stating that it would be gradually implementing maintenance shutdowns on all its products in the North American market.
