Chapter 290 Corporate Spies
Monday.
The news online and on the TV was about how Angler company received millions worth of sponsors.h.i.+p from countries and other companies.
Not that this is very surprising. The w.a.n.g Empire refused to collaborate with someone and is being meticulous in accepting sponsors.h.i.+p from other company. Because of this, other companies would immediately put their money into the next tech company that will declare the same type of innovation as the w.a.n.g Empire.
Many businessmen and countries criticized the w.a.n.g Empire for this choice but for Jiang Yue, money is not everything. She wanted to make sure that every company and country that she is working with will not bring any harm to the w.a.n.g Empire.
Some people consider her decision as being foolish and demanding. Why would she have too many requirements for the people who wanted to sponsor her projects? Isn"t that a little too stupid in her part as a business mogul?
In the end, people who were watching and a.n.a.lyzing the show just shook their heads. Based on their a.n.a.lysis the rise and fall of w.a.n.g Empire might happen within a year since they started the company.
If that is not tragic, then what is?
Jiang Yue is too idealistic and not flexible in her terms. A person like that will not last long in the business industry.
However, some also applauded her for being brave. Her undying courage is something that every person should have. So what if she received less sponsors.h.i.+p compared to Angler Tech Company? Does it mean that she will be less successful than them?
Of course not! Everything would still boils down to the result. If the w.a.n.g Empire can still deliver in spite of its less funding then it would only mean that Jiang Yue is indeed very capable. However, if they fail then fewer people will berate them since it was already expected from the start. After all, less funding would mean less opportunity and less flexibility.
"Everyone"s opinion is divided. Hehehe... too bad, they forgot that Fu Jin is on our side." w.a.n.g Minghua chuckled while reading the public"s comments online. He was currently in Jiang Yue"s office discussing about what had been happening lately. "Fu Conglomerate"s funding is enough to fund countries. How come no one is even aware of this?"
"I"m not worried about the money as it will always come pouring down once they see our result. I am thinking about the three resignations that we receive today," she said. Jiang Yue chose not to let everyone know of this funding as she does not like attracting the media"s attention. She hated always being watched by everyone. Not that she could avoid this in the future. "They are blatantly poaching our talents. They must have thought that those people were all high and mighty in this company. Imagine knowing that they are not even familiar with the stuff that I am doing?"
This earned a chuckle from her cousin. "Bai"li told me that they try to poach him... even offered to triple his salary a penthouse and a car! They are trying their best to poach everyone who works well under us! Can you believe that?"
"That... That is actually not that suprising. After w.a.n.g Empire annouced the devouring virus and other software, Angler tech almost lost half of its customers. So what did Bai"li say?"
"Of course he said no... he had been with you since like forever... do you even know that he is not straight?"
"Since when did you start gossiping about people?" Of course, Jiang Yue knew about this. However, she was more interested in w.a.n.g Minghua being a little gossipy today.
"I"m not... ahem... okay back to the topic. Did you call me here to talk about the people who left?" his attempt of changing the topic was so obvious but Jiang Yue just brushed it off and shook her head.
"No.. just this morning... someone tried to access an encrypted research file that contains the design for my drone AI project."
"You mean?"
"Yes... someone stole it."
"STOLE?" he bellowed, his loud voice made Jiang Yue cover her ears. "And you are this calm? Who did it? Tell me? What are your plans now? Are we going to sue that person? Is it someone from.."
"Relax! Please.... your voice is making me panic!" she gestured for him to sit down. "I never said they stole the right file."
"Meaning?"
"Someone tried to access it and copied the file that they saw.. must be in a hurry. It wasn"t the right one. It was the first layer of malware that I installed to secure the file."
"You almost gave me a heart attack! I thought someone already stole our secrets files," he said as he dramatically patted his chest.
"Of course not! Did you think I was dumb enough to give them access to my files?" she raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"
"So what are we going to do now?" w.a.n.g Minghu asked, ignoring Jiang Yue"s question. Of course, Jiang Yue is not dumb. If she is considered dumb then how about everyone else like him?
"Wait."
"For what?"
"Since they stole something from me… they will face the consequences. But for now.. We wait…. Let them believe they are winning… then strike them when they reach their highest point.." Jiang Yue smiled at him, evilly. "That way, they will have a long… disastrous fall- it would surely hurt."
"Imagine falling after thinking that they already win?" she asked.
In response, w.a.n.g Minghua s.h.i.+vered involuntarily. Jiang Yue seemed to have become scarier everyday.
"What if they steal something again?" he asked. "What if they have planted corporate spies into our company?"
"Let them… I will be waiting for that to happen." she said.
"Are you going to bait them into stealing again?"
"Maybe?" she answered before she let out a giggle. "Who knows! But it would be better if they steal something again."
