Counterattack starts with controlling probability

At this moment, Feng Zhiyuan did not feel any guilt.

On the contrary, he felt that his actions were like those of a chess master who had laid out an invisible killing pattern on the chessboard, waiting for his opponent to fall into the trap.

The squeeze and suppression from Wu De and Wang Xiao had made him see the true nature of this power struggle. He knew that patience alone could not change the situation and that he had to take action.

He took a deep breath, then modified several key parameters, deliberately creating a minor fault in the "Ark" system - a data synchronization problem, and deleted the code comments of the corresponding modules and related modules.

This problem seems serious, but in fact, because he did it on purpose, he knows that it can be fixed quickly.

Then he immediately deleted all operation logs - this was a convenience brought by his authority as technical director.

"Tomorrow, or in a few hours, will be the day when the fate of many people will change!"

Feng Zhiyuan's mouth corners rose slightly, and an indescribable pleasure surged in his heart.

The anger and resentment that had been pent up over the past few days were released at this moment.

He turned off the computer, restored the desktop to its original state, quietly left the office, and disappeared into the night.

……

The next day, the office was in chaos.

Early in the morning, Feng Zhiyuan sat in his office, casually doing the "basic daily work" that Wu De had assigned to him last time.

"Director Feng, something's wrong! It seems the Ark system is malfunctioning, and the after-sales department is flooded with complaints from various customers."

A young engineer ran into his office and reported to him anxiously.

Feng Zhiyuan remained calm, nodded, and said, "I understand. I'll go check it out."

He walked quickly towards the R&D department's office area, his mind racing.

He knew that this was the first step in his and Xu Lei's plan, and the failure occurred at the right time.

When he walked into the R&D department, the entire team was in a state of panic - everyone was staring at the screen, sliding the mouse, trying to find the root cause of the problem.

Complaint emails and phone calls from some large customers appeared in front of the business managers one after another, which also made other departments of the company nervous.

Feng Zhiyuan saw that several young engineers were sweating profusely, while several senior members were constantly looking through log files, trying to find clues.

"Mr. Feng, according to after-sales service, some customers have already started filing claims!" A young engineer looked at Feng Zhiyuan with obvious anxiety in his tone. "What should we do? We have to fix this problem as soon as possible!"

Feng Zhiyuan showed a worried look on the surface, but sneered in his heart.

He said softly, "Don't worry. Now we can only check carefully and see what went wrong."

At this time, Wu De came over with an angry face, and Wang Xiao behind him also looked unhappy, obviously coming together to ask for accountability.

"Feng Zhiyuan, what are you doing? How could the Ark system have such a serious problem? Does this technical director really want to quit his job?"

As soon as Wu De entered the room, he questioned mercilessly, his voice several decibels higher than usual.

Feng Zhiyuan looked at Wu De with a cold expression, "Mr. Wu, didn't you take over the core development authority and work arrangements for 'Ark' last time? Didn't you say I was only responsible for the basic work?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "basic work".

Wu De's face changed slightly. He certainly understood that Feng Zhiyuan was mocking him.

It was indeed Wu De who personally took over the core module of "Ark". In order to demonstrate his ability, he even forcibly changed the development schedule and put unreasonable pressure on the team.

Today, when there was a problem with the system, his first reaction was to put the blame on Feng Zhiyuan.

"I took over core development to improve efficiency! But as the technical director, you're responsible for basic maintenance. Now that this big problem has occurred, you can't escape blame!"

Wu De spoke in a sharp voice, trying to overwhelm Feng Zhiyuan with his momentum.

Feng Zhiyuan sneered and immediately replied, "Mr. Wu, the Ark system has always been maintained by the team. I don't have the authority to modify the core modules you have taken over."

He paused, then continued, "Besides, this problem is likely caused by your 'accelerated development plan.' I've warned you before that developing at this pace and intensity is too risky. Pushing too quickly will affect system stability."

"You..." Wu De was speechless for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

He knew that this incident might have been told by Feng Zhiyuan.

In order to demonstrate his abilities in front of management, he forcibly changed the development plan, which increased the pressure on the system. Now that something has gone wrong, he wants to pass the buck, but finds that he can't.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Alright, everyone, cut the smack. Now isn't the time to blame each other. The most important thing is to resolve the issue first. Director Feng, what are your thoughts?"

Feng Zhiyuan said calmly, "If we had followed my previous development schedule, this problem could have been avoided. Now that it has occurred, we can only investigate it first. I will lead the team to deal with it as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Wu De, and that kind of silent sarcasm was completely written on his face.

Wu De was angry, but he couldn't find any reason to refute at this time.

He could only stare at Feng Zhiyuan fiercely and curse in his heart, but because his technical ability was too limited, he had to leave it to Feng Zhiyuan to solve the problem.

Seeing the deadlock, Wang Xiao quickly said, "That's settled. Director Feng, please give us a response as soon as possible. I'll coordinate with the client."

Feng Zhiyuan nodded, turned around and went back to his office, and began to "seriously" analyze the problem.

"Wu De, Wang Xiao, your self-righteous power game is really laughable. Just wait, the best is yet to come." Feng Zhiyuan thought silently.

And at this moment, something very dramatic was indeed happening in the general manager's office.

"Wu De! Do you know what the company is going through right now? The shareholders are all questioning your abilities, especially Wang Qiang!" Wang Xiao practically yelled at the newly appointed CTO. "As soon as you took over, 'Ark' made such a huge mistake. How am I going to explain this to the board of directors?"

Wu De was speechless at this moment, and his face became even uglier.

That afternoon, Wang Qiang summoned other shareholders in Beijing North to meet at the company headquarters for an emergency meeting.

As one of the largest shareholders, his attitude is crucial.

The atmosphere in the conference room was almost frozen, and the shareholders started to attack Wang Xiao.

"Why did an accident of this magnitude happen at 'Ark' just after Wu De took office? It never happened when Xu Lei was in charge! Is Wu De really capable of being the CTO?" Wang Qiang asked mercilessly.

His eyes were sharp, and it was obvious that he had completely lost his patience with Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao took a deep breath and tried to explain: "Mr. Wang, this may just be an occasional technical failure. We are already working hard to repair it..."

"No," Wang Qiang interrupted him, his tone firm. "This time, the problems aren't just related to design and technology. The third-party assessment agency has shown me a new valuation report. If these bugs can't be fixed within three days, Noah's current valuation will be severely damaged."

Wang Xiao's face turned pale. He didn't expect the problem to deteriorate to this extent.

He knew this meant that the interests of all shareholders would be greatly damaged.

As unlisted companies, their market capitalization has no so-called "up and down limits" and will be priced in one step by investors in the primary market.

Besides, he also has shares.

At this moment, an even more dramatic scene occurred.

Li Hao, the "mastermind" who had never shown up in the company but planned all this with Xu Lei, actually appeared at the door of the conference room in a swagger.

He smiled and walked slowly into the meeting room. Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, he sat down calmly next to Wang Qiang.

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Li Hao. I believe some of you have seen him a few days ago. As for why he appears here today, let him tell you himself!" Wang Qiang introduced.

At Xu Lei's suggestion, Li Hao had previously discussed his plan with Wang Qiang regarding Noah's recent development difficulties. Initially, Wang Qiang objected, but after Li Hao explained the details and possible outcomes, he agreed.

Therefore, in a very short period of time, led by Wang Qiang, Li Hao contacted some shareholders of the company and reached a small number of transactions.

He is now also a real shareholder of Noah Technology!

The purpose of this shareholders' meeting is to discuss solutions to the current difficulties, but for Wang Qiang, the more important thing is to add Li Hao as a director!

"Everyone," Li Hao said, his tone full of confidence, "I know there have been some discordant factors in the company recently, especially today's crisis, which has made everyone worried about Noah's future."

He looked righteous and confident, and continued with a strong sense of ownership, "We now have two options. One is to continue waiting, hoping that Wu De and his team can fix these problems quickly. The other is to provide an exit mechanism, allowing shareholders who no longer have confidence in the company's prospects to leave. I am willing to become a new investor and take over their shares."

The shareholders began to whisper, and it was obvious that Li Hao's proposal had shaken some of them.

Wang Xiaoze was stunned.

He never expected that Li Hao would stand up at this time, and he never expected that Wang Qiang would actually recommend him.

"Mr. Li, I don't think now is the time to discuss the exit mechanism..."

Wang Xiao wanted to save the situation and was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Li Hao's calm voice.

"Mr. Wang, I don't think Mr. Wu can still lead the company out of this predicament." Li Hao's tone was unquestionable. "Rather than letting Noah lose its value amidst constant turmoil, it would be better to let those risk-averse shareholders exit early."

Li Hao's words were so powerful that the shareholders fell into deep thought.

Especially those shareholders who were originally hesitant and waiting for profits from the IPO, now began to have second thoughts.

Because judging from the current situation, if there is no good solution, it will be difficult to get the next round of financing, let alone an IPO.

Li Hao continued, "I'm not an investor who only talks big. Professor Wang and I have sufficient funds and are capable of helping the company overcome its difficulties and ensuring that the problems with the Ark system are resolved as quickly as possible."

These words were like a knife, piercing Wang Xiao's soft spot.

He could already feel that the situation was getting out of control, but there was nothing he could do.

The shareholders' eyes glanced back and forth between Wang Xiao and Li Hao. Obviously, they were already weighing whether to accept Li Hao's proposal.

Li Hao smiled and said softly, "Everyone, if you have any concerns, please feel free to talk to me privately. I will offer the most reasonable purchase price to every shareholder who wishes to exit."

As soon as he finished speaking, several shareholders who were already uneasy about Noah's prospects seemed to be somewhat tempted.

Wang Qiang watched all this silently from the side, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

He knew that Li Hao's plan was going smoothly.

"Dear shareholders, your choice will determine Noah's future. I believe Mr. Li's proposal is the best solution at this time." Wang Qiang stood up and patted Li Hao on the shoulder. "He can not only bring in capital, but also real management and technical strength."

The atmosphere in the conference room fell into a brief silence again.

The united front of Li Hao and Wang Qiang has been clearly presented to all shareholders, and no one is willing to continue to bear the losses brought by Wang Xiao and Wu De.

"Well, while you are considering it, let me tell you something more important right now!" Li Hao suddenly said.
