Huang Kejian and Director Fang frowned when they heard Feng Yu's words. They felt Feng Yu was exaggerating. But they know Feng Yu is doing this out of goodwill, so they nodded and did not say anything.
The three chatted for a while more before Feng Yu left.
In the car, Feng Yu sighed. He had said all he could, and it's up to God to decide whether they believe him or not.
It's almost Lunar New Year, and Feng Yu returned to Bing City. His family had returned before New Year's Day because Feng Yu needs to avoid crowded places.
From the end of 2002 to the beginning of 2003, there was a virus outbreak in Southeast Asia and even affected the whole world.
Patients with this virus might not die, but the treatment fees are high. Of course, the treatment fees are nothing to Feng Yu. But Li Na is pregnant, and Feng Yu does not dare to take the risk.
During this period, all sorts of rumors appeared on the internet. For example, vinegar can kill the virus, and Radix Isatidis can prevent the virus.
Vinegar and Radix Isatidis Root were both very cheap things that could be bought with just a few yuan.
But soon, some people took the wrong path. They began to speculate on the prices of these two products, including masks and other protective equipment.
Feng Yu had predicted this would happen and asked his subsidiaries to stabilize the prices. At the same time, he asked Sina, Sohu, Baidu, and other companies to refute the rumors on the internet and cooperate with the Internet Surveillance Bureau to track down the IP address of the person spreading the rumors.
Feng Yu was speechless when he received the news. Only a few people were spreading the rumors for profits. Most of the people were doing it for fun and to gain attention.
And the fake news they spread was used by people with ulterior motives. Through word of mouth among the people, it became more and more intense.
Some people had nothing to do every day and thought that the things on the Internet were just like bragging, that they could say whatever they wanted without any scruples.
Feng Yu hates these people.
These people need to be taught a lesson. They are selfish and do not care about the consequences. This was no longer a sign of low morality, but a violation of the law!
It was just that the current laws governing online surveillance were not perfect. It was not only Hua Xia, but all the countries were the same.
Actually, South Korea and Japan were the ones who were ahead of the rest. Due to their small size, their internet was developed earlier and was better. Hence, when such incidents happened earlier, they also took measures to deal with them earlier.
However, Hua Xia wasn't too late, at least much earlier than in his previous life. No matter how perfect the law was, if they wanted to put an end to this situation, they still needed to improve the quality of netizens.
Ruling the country by law and ruling the country by virtue were not contradictory. The ideal high-class society was ruled by virtue. However, this goal could not be achieved in a short period of time. Many people even predicted that it might not be achieved even after the extinction of mankind. This was because human nature was selfish. Just like the so-called communist society, it could not be achieved.
Feng Yu did not intend to pay too much attention to these matters. Naturally, he had the upper echelons to guide him. He only needed his companies to cooperate. At the same time, he also asked the various companies to issue a document to not listen to and spread rumors, and not to be ignorant people.
This illness was actually not that serious. It was only because it was spread around that it became more and more serious. Historically, this illness had not caused much of an impact. It was much worse than AIDS and other viruses. It was not even as harmful as tuberculosis.
But the pathology was not clear, and it was contagious. That's why people felt it was scary.
The scientists in the world will soon understand and come up with an effective treatment.
Slowly, people regained their rationality and realized this matter was not that scary. But at this time, some countries that did not want to see Hua Xia's rise started to use underhanded means.
For example, < Time Magazine > suddenly published an article stating that the number of patients had been hidden.
Following that, many international media reprinted this article and started reporting on it, asking people to stop traveling or working in Hua Xia. They even asked those foreigners who invested in Hua Xia to withdraw their investments.
Under normal circumstances, when a new infectious disease appeared, the WHO should provide help and not question it.
That means the WHO should think of ways to treat and prevent this disease first, and not decide who should be responsible for it!
Of course, this disease only happened in China, so the other countries were not worried. Some countries were even gloating over China's misfortune.
Among all the rumors, there were even rumors that this was Hua Xia's experiments and was accidentally exposed. Everyone in the world knew that Japan had conducted experiments on Hua Xia in the past.
Various countries' media were trying to tarnish Hua Xia's image, and Hua Xia was defending herself and trying to cure the virus.
Of course, in Feng Yu's previous life, this disease was controlled in the end, and it did not cause too much of an impact. Feng Yu did not pay much attention to it. He was thinking about delisting Sina's company.
Delisting is not a big deal. Every year, about 8% of companies will be delisted from Nasdaq, 6% from NYSE, and 12% from London.
There are many conditions for a company to be delisted. As long as a company meets one of the conditions, it can apply to be delisted. Furthermore, Sina's shares had fallen below its IPO price for more than a month. Even if Sina does not apply to be delisted, Nasdaq will also ask Sina and the rest of the companies to be delisted.
This is what Feng Yu wants. Although this will affect his company's reputation, it doesn't matter. Anyway, these companies are running Chinese websites and don't need to care about the US.
In the end, Feng Yu plans to list these companies in China or Hong Kong. Anyway, he has no plans to re-list in the US. What's there to be afraid of?
But it is not easy to delist a company. Luckily, these companies had expressed that they will use cash to buy back their shares, and this is the reason why the market is not affected.
The Americans are used to delisting companies. In the past two to three years, many companies had been delisted. Some were acquired by other companies, and some were delisted due to financial problems. Of course, there are also companies like Sina that bought back their shares to be delisted.
These companies that bought back their shares to be delisted are still fine. But if the company is delisted due to financial problems, the losses to the shareholders will be higher.
Of course, the Americans love companies that were acquired and delisted. These companies will be acquired at a premium price, and before the acquisition, the share prices will increase, and the shareholders will make a sum of money.
To ensure that the company will be delisted as soon as possible, Feng Yu changed the number of shareholders in the company. There is a minimum number of shareholders for a listed company. If the number of shareholders is less than the minimum, the company will be delisted. Of course, there will be a grace period.
Feng Yu's target is to be delisted, and he doesn't care about the grace period. The number of shareholders in these companies is just enough, and after some mergers, the number of shareholders is not enough. Nasdaq issued a warning to Feng Yu.
Warning? Feng Yu and the rest don't care about this, and their shares were suspended and delisted.
