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

Chapter 986 2019: A Different Beginning

"Not surprising, this is their old trick over there." Chen Mo scoffed. "How do you plan to deal with it?"

"I just finished a transoceanic conference call with the team at TT."

The top priority right now is to maintain business stability.

At the same time, on the one hand, we immediately organized materials to prove our innocence from both technical and structural perspectives;
On the other hand, we will utilize all compliant channels to find lawmakers and media outlets willing to listen to us, fully demonstrating our data protection measures, explaining how we protect user privacy, and emphasizing how TT provides livelihoods for millions of small and medium-sized enterprises and content creators.

We must break free from the information cocoon and let them see that behind TT are real, ordinary users who love this platform…

"The process of self-justification and explanation is necessary, but it is even more important to demonstrate our unyielding attitude."

Chen Mo confirmed his direction, then noticed Zhang Yiming's hesitation.

"At this point, what are you still worried about? If you need any help, just say so."

“Moss, TT’s overseas team can operate independently on a regular basis, but at this critical juncture, it urgently needs a leader who can oversee the overall situation and handle complex political situations…”

Zhang Yiming took a deep breath. "I humbly request that Zhou Shouzi, CEO of Beyond International, temporarily serve as the CEO of TT?"

Hearing this name, especially coming from Zhang Yiming, made Chen Mo's expression somewhat strange.
"Shou Zi Chew? No problem!"

He immediately connected with Shou Zi Chew via video link and announced the important appointment on site.

"I think it's time to show those foreigners how China plays the money-burning war and the propaganda war, and open their eyes!"
In addition to the two directions Zhang Yiming just mentioned, you need to immediately formulate an action plan to 'bewitch people'.

The guiding principle can be summed up in just eight words: No bottom line, no cost whatsoever!
"Yes!"

"Chen Tong, Xu Chaojun!"

"Yes!" the two replied in unison.

A fierce glint flashed across Chen Mo's face. "Cooperate with their actions and show Mr. Dong what it means to defy public opinion!"

"What if we fail?" Zhang Yiming asked with concern.

"Even if we fail, we should still take a piece of flesh from the other side. If a single TT can awaken the people on the other side, it will be worth it even if it is eventually banned."

Chen Mo said firmly, "Like some works of art, sometimes their destruction can actually unleash even greater value."

All the executives from the other side present were stunned by Chen Mo's courage to choose death over dishonor.

It's worth noting that after several years of development, TT has become the world's fourth largest social application in terms of revenue, the number one short video social platform, with a global user base of 7 million, and it is still growing rapidly, basically on par with the domestic market.

Its annual revenue in the North American market alone reaches tens of billions of RMB, not to mention its growing influence.

In front of Zhang Yiming and Zhou Shouzi, Chen Mo asked, "TT's attitude this time has only one requirement. Do you remember what I said to you two during the team building event a few years ago?"

"Stand up straight, don't lie down!" the two said in unison.

“Very good.” Chen Mo nodded. “Peace is never something you beg for. You must have this kind of do-or-die determination. Go and make preparations. I want to see the specific plan after the holiday.”

Chen Mo turned his gaze away from Zhang Yiming and onto Lu Qi. "Go down to the group and inform everyone that after the holiday, everyone should conduct a comprehensive crisis analysis, considering the potential impact, possible crisis scenarios, and contingency plans for this incident."
We should consider this from three dimensions: short-term response, medium-term strategy, and long-term planning.

I'm giving you a week. Give me a summary then. Some things require learning from experience and applying that knowledge to other situations; we can't wait until the last minute to figure out how to solve them!

"understand!"

At the end of the meeting, Chen Mo stood up and looked around the room: "Ladies and gentlemen, these four days in January 2019 will surely be recorded in history."

It tells us that if we want to look up at the stars, we must first keep our feet on the ground, and this ground must be our own!
In the past, we strived to be the best in the global ecosystem;
From today onwards, our mission has changed.

That is to take it upon ourselves to build and protect the Chinese science and technology ecosystem.

This will be a protracted war with no way out.

But we firmly believe that we will achieve final victory, because our most powerful weapon is not any technology, business, or revenue in any phase.

History tells us, and our predecessors tell us, that when a great nation is driven to the brink of despair, it will unleash an unprecedented will to survive and astonishing wisdom.

"From this day forward, let us raise our gaze and look to the other side, where our true enemy lies."

"Yes!" The entire audience responded enthusiastically.

As a crisis loomed, every executive on the other side suddenly felt a sense of responsibility and mission as they were experiencing a historical turning point—an experience they had never had before.

"If I remember correctly, this is the first time so many of us have spent the Lunar New Year together on the other side of the strait," Chen Mo said in a gentler tone. "The cafeteria has prepared dumplings, let's all eat together."

On this Lunar New Year's Eve, more than 20 core management members spent an unforgettable night together.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after handling group affairs, Chen Mo appeared at Xiaomi headquarters.

Lei Jun was clearly not in good spirits; the pressure of the past few days had left him looking extremely tired.

"Is Lei Zong about to become 'Tired Zong'?" Chen Mo joked, casually taking two cans of Red Bull from the mini-fridge and handing them over, "To perk you up."

"How could they be so mean, throwing such a huge accusation out of nowhere?" Lei Jun said with a wry smile.

"Who told you to call yourself Lei 'Jun'? If you had changed your name to Lei Mo, maybe this wouldn't have happened."

Seeing the resentful look in the other person's eyes, Chen Mo laughed and said, "You seem too tense, so I'm just making a joke to lighten the mood."

"You're really talking without any sense of the situation."

"When they announced the DOD list, your stock price plummeted. I saw you issued a clarification announcement, which at least temporarily stabilized the situation. What are your plans for the future?"

"Three paths: either endure it, accept it, or neither endure nor accept it!"

"How to say?"

Xiaomi plans to sue!

"Sue? Have you thought this through? No company has ever succeeded in doing so. And aren't you worried that suing will anger the other party, making them escalate their actions and invite even greater retaliation?"

Lei Jun took a small sip of Red Bull, caught a glimpse of Chen Mo's teasing gaze, shook his head helplessly, and gave him an expression that said, "Don't try to stir things up, kid."

This time, several related companies on the other side have been affected. I guess you have a gun. If you grab it, you'll be so angry you'll want to shoot that old bastard on the other side.

"You're here just in time. This is the contingency plan we've been discussing. Please give us your feedback."

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Mo closed the document: "It seems our previous preparations were not in vain. This may be an opportunity."

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be right. Xiaomi's move to localize production has finally been activated at this juncture."
However, the only difficulty lies with Mi Anxinsheng.
