Counterattack starts with controlling probability

Two days passed quickly.

The press conference was brightly lit, and Wang Zhen stood in the center of the podium. His posture was confident and calm, and there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

Facing numerous flash cameras and reporters' questions, he began, "After a long period of evaluation and careful consideration, we have decided to work with White Rock Capital. This decision is based on White Rock Capital's outstanding capabilities in integrating international resources and providing technical support. I believe this will be an important step for our team to move towards globalization."

There was thunderous applause from the audience and cheers from supporters.

However, Li Hao, standing at the edge of the crowd, had a blank expression on his face, his hands in his pockets, and his eyes were as calm as water.

He seemed calm, but in fact, a huge wave was already rising in his heart.

"We lost this round."

He laughed at himself coldly in his heart.

This is not a simple business failure, but a strategic defeat.

After the meeting, the media swarmed in.

Reporters rushed to take pictures of the handshake between Baiyan Capital and the chip team's senior executives. At the same time, many people tried to interview Li Hao, but he coldly rejected them.

"No need to waste time." Li Hao was extremely dissatisfied and quickly left the scene.

Back in the Noah Technology conference room, the air was filled with an indescribable sense of depression.

Several core members of the R&D team had complicated expressions on their faces as they sat on both sides of the long table, obviously having too many unspoken questions.

One of them spoke first, his tone tinged with unease and anxiety: "Mr. Li, Baiyan Capital's victory is a significant blow to us. The current technology ecosystem is highly competitive. If we can't quickly fill this gap, we may face even greater challenges in the future."

Before he finished speaking, another R&D core member took over the conversation: "Yes, we originally thought Wang Zhen's team would choose us, but now it seems that Baiyan Capital does have its own advantages that cannot be ignored. Their global resources and technical support are more attractive."

His words vaguely revealed his dissatisfaction with Li Hao's decision.

Li Hao did not respond, but just looked at the two people who spoke quietly.

The atmosphere in the conference room froze instantly, and other participants began to whisper.

Finally, another R&D staff member bravely said, "Mr. Li, can we reflect on our strategy this time? Are our conditions not attractive enough? If we can relax the cooperation framework, perhaps things will be different..."

There was silence in the conference room.

Many people nodded silently, obviously agreeing with this statement.

Xu Lei's face turned ugly, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but Li Hao raised his hand to stop him.

He glanced around slowly, his face calm, but his tone as cold as ice. "Do you think Baiyan Capital's global resources are its true advantage? That's just a glittering sugarcoat. They can tempt Wang Zhen with resources today, and destroy him with control tomorrow. Do you think this cooperation is based on equality?"

The few people who spoke just now lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Li Hao's eyes.

"We at Noah Technology don't need to compromise for short-term gains."

Li Hao's tone was firm and his eyes were sharp.

"Future competition will be about who can control core technologies, not who can be held hostage by international capital. Just because White Rock Capital succeeded once doesn't mean they can continue to succeed."

An R&D engineer couldn't help but retort, "But Mr. Li, if our technological shortcomings remain unaddressed, how are we going to go public? How are we going to convince investors to trust us?"

"Trust is earned through action, not compromise!" Li Hao's voice rose and resounded. "Wang Zhen's choice of Baiyan Capital this time is undoubtedly a loss for us, but it's merely a setback on our path to higher levels."

After the meeting, Xu Lei caught up with Li Hao and whispered, "Li Hao, the atmosphere today isn't right. Will they think you're too tough?"

Li Hao continued walking without stopping or looking back, saying, "The team needs a unified direction, but unity does not mean compromise. If they don't trust my decision, they can leave at any time."

Xu Lei was silent for a moment, then asked, "What should we do next?"

"Where you fell, you must stand up again." Li Hao stopped and said, "We have more important things to do."

At the same time, in a conference room in another high-rise building, senior executives of White Rock Capital were toasting to victory.

Their leader looked smug and sneered, "This time, Noah Technology has been completely defeated. Next, we must strike them further and destroy their confidence."

"Wang Zhen's team has only made a good start," another executive added. "We can also use market sentiment to amplify Noah Technology's failure and create investor panic."

"Let them know the price of confronting Baiyan Capital." There was laughter in the conference room and the atmosphere was arrogant.

At this moment, Li Hao, standing in front of the window of Noah Technology, had an increasingly sharp look in his eyes.

He knew that this was not just a business showdown, but a battle for control of the future.

The announcement of Wang Zhen's cooperation with Baiyan Capital caused a huge stir.

In the media, reports about Noah Technology's "failure" were rampant and exaggerated:

Wang Zhen's team's choice: White Rock Capital wins, Noah Technology suffers setback

From tech upstart to market loser: Noah Technology's first major failure

Even industry analysts who have always supported Noah expressed uneasiness during the interview.

"Losing the chip R&D team's cooperation is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Noah Technology's technology strategy. Investors may need to reassess Noah's long-term growth potential."

Worse still, these reports directly affected market confidence.

Some small shareholders of Noah Technology have expressed their opinions, demanding that the company provide clearer explanations on its technology research and development and listing plans.

Some more radical shareholders even raised questions publicly:

"What we need are tangible results, not seemingly unattainable strategic goals. If Noah cannot demonstrate its technical prowess, this failure may just be the prelude to collapse!"

Amidst this wave of voices, Li Hao chose not to respond to any media interviews.

He gathered the team in a conference room. The lights in the room were a bit glaring and there was a hint of depression in the air.

Xu Lei spoke first, his tone barely concealing his anxiety: "The market's confidence in us has clearly declined. If we don't do something, this negative public opinion will only continue to ferment. Not to mention the pressure from shareholders!"

Feng Zhiyuan couldn't help but say, "The media attacks are one thing, but the decline in internal team morale is the more serious problem. The chip project that Wang Zhen and White Rock Capital collaborated on did indeed cause us to lose our advantage in technological competition in a short period of time."

There was a murmur in the meeting room.

Li Hao's gaze swept over everyone present. Finally, he spoke slowly, his tone calm but powerful, "Market sentiment fluctuations are inevitable, but as long as we maintain our core competitiveness, there's no need to lose our composure over a failed collaboration."

Xu Lei frowned. "But the market's reaction right now isn't just a matter of sentiment. The capital market has already begun to predict our decline. If we don't launch a strong counterattack, investor trust will likely decline further."

Li Hao nodded slightly, a cold glint in his eyes. "This is our opportunity to reshape Noah's position. Baiyan Capital's short-term victory is just superficial glory in the capital world. What we need to do is make them realize that Noah never relies on a single tree, but on the entire forest."

The next day, Li Hao held an internal meeting for the R&D team.

At the meeting, he announced a new technology research and development plan: focusing on the next generation of algorithm optimization projects with greater potential in the field of AI.

This plan not only directly responded to the team's concerns about technical shortcomings, but also made the R&D team feel the full support from the company.

"We not only need to address our shortcomings, but also surpass our competitors in technological innovation," Li Hao said firmly. "I will personally secure resources for this project. Noah Technology's technological research and development will never be controlled by anyone."

In order to boost morale, he also publicly promised to increase the R&D budget and provide the team with better incentive mechanisms.

Several core R&D personnel gradually put aside their doubts at the meeting and expressed their support.

"Mr. Li, we will definitely go all out this time!" Lin Xiang's eyes were firm.

"I hope to see your efforts." Li Hao's eyes swept across the faces of each participant, and finally added: "Failure is not scary. What is scary is not daring to learn from failure. Noah will never stop."

At the same time, Li Hao convened the media teams of Xinxing Zhitou and Feiyue Media to discuss how to turn this crisis into an opportunity to reshape the brand image.

Liu Xia quickly came up with a plan: "We can attract public attention by announcing Noah Technology's long-term strategy. The focus isn't on the failed chip team collaboration, but on our overall layout in the AI ​​field and Noah's future technological direction."

Li Hao nodded. "That's right. We can't let the outside world focus on just one failure. Our goal is to let people see the bigger picture of Noah."

Ultimately, the team decided to launch a series of promotional content to showcase Noah Technology’s recent achievements and its future blueprint.

"The Transformation of a Tech Star: How Noah Technologies Reshapes the Future with Innovation"

In addition to media publicity, Li Hao also arranged an in-depth communication meeting for small shareholders.

At the meeting, he was forthright about the failure, while also stating that the company hadn't been harmed by it:

"Noah Technology has never been afraid of challenges, let alone competition. Every setback will become a starting point for us to become stronger. The failure of this cooperation will not shake our foundation, but will instead make us more clear in our technology strategy."

……

Next comes the competition for the third company, the AI ​​speech recognition company.

The company's technology in natural language processing and speech recognition is leading, and its products not only occupy a place in the domestic market, but are gradually entering the international vision.

Data shows that the company's core algorithm is far ahead in accuracy and efficiency, and has attracted the attention of many technology giants.

"This will be Noah Technology's new strategic focus."

Li Hao's eyes were as sharp as a torch.

"Their technology not only complements our shortcomings, but also creates a strong synergy with Nova Smart Investment's robo-advisory platform."

Xu Lei frowned slightly: "However, I just received news that Baiyan Capital seems to have also set its sights on this company."

Li Hao sneered, his eyes cold and firm: "Then let them come. This time, we will never give them any chance."
