Chapter 393: Threats And Blackmail
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The withdrawal of the investors was not the worst-case scenario. The situation started because Blue Fox’s scam had blown up. Following that, various phone manufacturers labeled them as scamming software.
If a user wanted to download Blue Fox, a dialog box would pop up, indicating that the software was not security-certified and that there was a risk. Then the negative comments about Blue Fox would scroll through the dialog box.
Being labeled as harmful software by mobile phones was not a small matter. Even Si Fan was anxious. He called various mobile phone manufacturers and learned that Blue Fox was no longer in the app store. At least, users would not be stopped from downloading the app from web pages.
Nevertheless, phone makers frequently advise that downloading from webpages was risky in the first place, and they were just being considerate of their users.
Other apps were available from the normal software app store. You could download apps there and the store would guarantee their safety.
“Then put Blue Fox on the app store!” Si Fan demanded from the other party. If he could put it on the app store, why would he choose to use the webpage method? That would only make it more troublesome for users to download it.
However, the other party directly refused the suggestion. “That won’t do. When we first collaborated with Blue Fox, we were at ease. However, so many things happened, causing our phone brand to be criticized and we even lost many users. A lot of people went to buy Zhenku phones for safety. Will Blue Fox reimburse us for our losses? If you do, we’ll agree to Blue Fox’s release.”
Threats and blackmail This was clearly what they were doing!
Si Fan was furious, but what the phone brand CEOs said was reasonable and well-founded. He could not refute them.
How was it possible for Si Fan to compensate all of them? It was simply making things difficult for him. Now that his investors had been withdrawn, where could he get the money?
However, although he was angry, Si Fan was still a measure of calm.
He thought of the information Mary had given him. As long as this information was leaked, it would be impossible for Xintao to go online for a few years.
At that time, Blue Fox would be the only shopping website on the entire platform. There was no need to worry about not being able to earn money. Furthermore, fixing bugs was a simple matter as long as there was enough time.
Si Fan took out the USB drive that Mary had given him. Inside was the information. He had two choices now. One was to let Yin Xun pay to buy the information back. That way, he would get a large sum of money that can be used to protect Blue Fox.
The second option was to take the information for himself. This way, he could save Blue Fox the time needed for research and development.
Si Fan narrowed his eyes and took out his phone. He found Yin Xun’s number and dialed it without hesitation.
Yin Xun picked up the call quickly.
This time, Si Fan did not use a voice changer or hide his IP. He did not mind that the other party knew his identity.
“Si Fan? What’s the matter?” When Yin Xun heard Si Fan’s voice, she asked him calmly.
Si Fan sneered and said, “I have something nice here. Do you want to take a look?”
He inserted the USB drive into the computer and looked at the information inside with a satisfied expression.
Mary was indeed Yin Xun’s personal assistant. She could even steal such a confidential document. This also reflected that Yin Xun was indeed pathetic. AU her previous achievements were just luck.
‘Women are women. They have no place on the podium.’ Si Fan cursed in his heart.
However, he did not say this out loud. He remained silent and waited for Yin Xun’s reply.
It was impossible to tell what Yin Xun was doing at this moment, but she seemed to be in a bad mood. She replied disinterestedly, “I’m not interested. Si Fan, don’t forget our relationship. I have nothing to talk to you about. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. I’m very busy now.”
“Wait.” Si Fan was afraid that Yin Xun would really hang up the phone, so he quickly stopped her. “For Mo’cr’s sake, I’ll give you a reminder. I advise you not to go online for now. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
Yin Xun did not appreciate the warning and questioned him, “What does our Xintao’s business have to do with you?”
“It has nothing to do with me now, but it will soon. I’ll give you a chance now. Do you want to merge Xintao with Blue Fox? Don’t worry, I’ll leave you the vice president position. The treatment won’t be worse than what you have now. How about it?” Looking at the information in front of him, Si Fan felt that he was not far from victory.
Yin Xun refused. “What are you thinking? When you asked Yin Mo to persuade me, I already rejected the offer.. Why are you still not giving up?”
