After being reborn, I also want to fall in love

Chapter 300 Tong Lao 6: Love is really addictive
Baidu is a magical company, but it has always been a step behind others in recent years.

Moreover, in Chen Shuo's impression, Li Shuai was the first Internet tycoon to propose the vigorous development of AI. Unfortunately, he did not achieve any particularly outstanding results later on.

Handsome Li has also done a lot of acquisitions and investments, but his approach is even more weird than Ali. Apart from services like search and maps, everything else he does fails.

Apart from search engines, the only one that has achieved some success is the video portal iQiyi.

Now that it has entered the food delivery business and chosen Nuomi.com, it has been defeated again and again.

In short, handsome Li was speechless.

It would be fine if he didn't do a good job, at least he owns the largest search engine in the country. But I never expected that even the title of the most handsome man on the Internet would be taken away.

Angry!

In this era where people are paid to delete each other’s faces, if you want to occupy the market, you have to spend money like crazy.

Meituan has Penguin Technology, Ele.me has Ali, and Mimi has Lei Jun’s Shunwei Capital to protect it. In the end, the world is achieved where only handsome Li gets hurt.

Baidu Headquarters
Handsome Li Yanhong stood in front of the window of his office, holding a cup of coffee and looking down.

The yellow Meituan riders, the blue Ele.me riders, and the yellow-green Mimi riders were gathered below waiting for their employees to come out to pick up the takeaway.

"Am I going to lose again?"

Handsome Li sighed, turned around and sat back at his desk with a frown on his face.

Although the three big companies in the Internet industry today are still BAT, Li Yanhong himself knows very well that the gap between his own company and the other two is already very large.

It’s not that we haven’t thought about breaking through, but after so many years of struggle, we are still half-dead, maintaining the scale and appearance of a big company, but there is no room for improvement.

The assistant at the side saw what the boss was thinking and whispered, "Boss Li, should we ask the General Manager's Office to issue a document prohibiting ordering takeout from those three platforms in the future?"

Li Yanhong glanced at his assistant, waved his hand and said, "I'm not that tolerant."

However, things still need some turning point.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Shuo from Mimi Technology asked someone to call the general manager's office and wants to meet with you." The secretary pushed the door open and reported.

Li Yanhong was a little surprised: "What does he want from me?"

"I didn't go into detail on the phone."

"Chen Shuo." Li Yanhong pondered for a moment and said that this guy had snatched away my title of the most handsome man on the Internet.

That's something you have to meet in person.

"Okay, make an appointment with them." Li Yanhong agreed.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Chen Shuo, who had just asked Gao Lin to form an alliance with Wang Xing to kill Nuomi together, turned around and looked for Li Yanhong.

Why?

Of course, they want Li Yanhong to give up Nuomi and instead invest funds in Mimi Takeout.

Chen Shuo can still afford to spend money now, but food delivery platforms and Didi are really money-burning monsters. Who can afford to spend tens of millions every day?

Now all the investors are waiting and watching. All the big companies have entered the market and are spending money like crazy. The other two companies have received investments of more than one billion US dollars to fight each other. There is no reason for Baidu to stay out of it, right?

That day, Chen Shuo flew to the capital to meet Li Yanhong.

In the conference room, when Li Yanhong saw Chen Shuo, he felt as if he was in another world.

The handsome young man in front of me really looks like me when I first entered the world of martial arts, so elegant and so high-spirited.

"Mr. Li, I have long admired your name."

"Hello, Mr. Shuo."

The two sat down, and Chen Shuo spoke quickly, without even a few words of greeting, and got straight to the point: "Mr. Li, let me be frank with you. In the current battle of food delivery platforms, Nuomi has no advantage at all. It is only a matter of time before it is defeated."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the next one will be me."

"Meituan and Ele.me are fighting each other. According to my estimation of the two companies, Meituan will still win in the end. In this case, both of us will lose everything."

Li Yanhong knew this too, but how to break the impasse?

Looking at Chen Shuo, Li Yanhong made a gesture of invitation. The two of them took a sip of coffee. Handsome Li sighed, "Mr. Shuo, the situation is still unclear. You don't have to be too pessimistic."

"Mr. Li, I have a suggestion."

"You said."

"Give up Nuomi, and let's join hands. You can invest in Mimi Waimai in the name of Baidu, just like Penguin Technology invested in Meituan, and become the second largest shareholder besides me. If Mr. Li is willing, I can even let you become the largest shareholder."

"But I personally must take control of MiMi takeout."

"Now that Mimi Waimai can compete with the other two, there is no reason for it to lose ground after receiving investment from Baidu. It will only get better and better. What do you think?"

Li Yanhong blinked, feeling that this was a bit absurd.

You know what this incident is all about. Why did this young man come to me so rashly and ask me to give up the investment I had already made in Nuomi and put all my hopes and funds on him?

This matter needs to be discussed.

"I need to think about it." Li Yanhong said, "This matter is very serious. I also need to discuss it with the directors."

"Mr. Li!"

Chen Shuo interrupted Li Yanhong directly, and his attitude confused the handsome Li.

"Mr. Li, you still can't see the situation clearly? Don't you know what the current situation of Baidu is? Excuse me, you are already far behind."

Chen Shuo stared into Li Yanhong's eyes and said, "If we keep delaying like this, and we have to talk business for business and do big business diseases, then we will suffer from the old saying that you can't even eat hot shit."

"The competition in the food delivery business is such that if you fall behind, you will fall behind step by step. Perhaps in the near future, the "B" in BAT will be replaced."

These words made Li Yanhong become autistic.

Some people have long criticized Baidu among BAT for not living up to its name and being too far behind the other two. However, there is currently no suitable Internet company to replace it. If one does emerge, Baidu will be eliminated in a matter of minutes.

Seeing that Li Yanhong didn't say anything, Chen Shuo stopped talking and stood up and said, "Mr. Li, that's enough. I still have to meet with the heads of several other domestic capitals. We'll meet again when we have the chance."

As he spoke, Chen Shuo picked up the coffee on the table and drank it all. After shaking hands with Li Yanhong, he left the meeting room directly.

Li Yanhong sat on the sofa for a long time, lit a cigarette and smoked it silently, then asked the assistant beside him: "How many people are accompanying Chen Shuo to the capital this time?"

The assistant replied: "As far as I know, Mr. Shuo came alone, traveling in a simple car. After he got off the airport, Xiaomi Technology sent him a driver and a car. There were no other arrangements."

"A man alone rampaged through the capital, killing people everywhere."

Li Yanhong smiled and shook his head: "As expected, the young man is heroic and unconventional. He is really enviable."

Li Yanhong stood up and walked to the window. He just happened to see Chen Shuo hurriedly got into the car and left. He turned around and asked his assistant: "Do you think what he said makes sense?"

The assistant thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is something that only the board of directors can decide, but Mr. Li, Mr. Shuo said something very right. We have been a step behind in everything over the years. We can't, we can't always be like this, eating shit and not being able to catch up with the heat, right?"

"Nuomi has no future. It hasn't even had a fight with the other three families. It has no vitality at all." Li Yanhong lit another cigarette, took a few puffs, and then put it out.

"Convene the board of directors. It will be held this afternoon."

"Yes!"

Chen Shuo wandered around the capital for a few days and obtained an investment of tens of millions of US dollars. The gap was still large, but it was enough to squander for a period of time.

Before boarding the plane, Chen Shuo received a call from Guo Zhengyun.

"Boss Shuo, something happened to Tong Lao6."

"?"

After getting off the plane, Chen Shuo returned to the office, where Guo Zhengyun and Tong Jingcheng were already waiting.

At Chen Shuo's current level, he doesn't need to care too much about Tong Jingcheng's career, but he is now one of the pillars of DouYu Live, and his popularity is too high. It seems that his popularity makes many users feel extremely excited.

That is to say, e-sports live streaming is at its peak now, and he barely surpasses Tong Jingcheng. Otherwise, he would definitely be the undisputed number one on DouYu.

He can't collapse now. Chen Shuo also hopes that after the short video platform comes out, he can pull Tong Jingcheng and Li Ziqi over to attract a huge wave of traffic to stabilize the basic market, and then slowly develop. For any application, the early stage is to spend money to attract traffic, as for the subsequent sales, fans?

If you don't survive first, there's no point in talking about making money.

Li Ziqi is developing steadily. In her videos, it's always just one person. Occasionally, her grandmother shows up at the end and they have a meal together. It's as stable as it can be.

Regarding these two people, Chen Shuo was worried that Tong Laoliu would explode. After all, this kid was still young, and his determination in Taoism was far from being as firm as he would be later. It was really possible that he would destroy his own personality if he got too excited.

It is normal for a big anchor like Tong Jingcheng to have contact information with the boss. Guo Zhengyun would occasionally look for him to drink and chat, and the two have a good relationship privately.

"what happened?"

Chen Shuofeng was exhausted. He sat down, opened the drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes, and shared them with Guo Zhengyun and Tong Jingcheng: "If you have something to say, just say it. If it should be suppressed, suppress it. If it should be clarified, clarify it. The company will come forward to guarantee you a bottom line. As long as it does not involve principles, no matter how big the storm is, it will pass."

The principle here is whether the child smokes anything other than cigarettes.

If he did something that he shouldn't do, Chen Shuo would abandon him completely.

"Boss Shuo, I got carried away the moment we talked the other day." Tong Laoliu, who is only 22 years old, looked troubled. "It's all Boss Guo's fault. He forced me to attract traffic to Bilibili and had me do a romance story with a cosplayer. It's only been half a month, but I've already become the most popular person on the Douyu platform. Those gamers are not as popular as me."

That's it?

Chen Shuo was completely relieved and relaxed immediately, and smiled jokingly: "What, did you sleep with the girl?"

Tong Lao6 stopped talking.

I see. It looks like he's asleep.

Just sleep with it, what's the big deal? This is your personality. It's a ruin, so sleeping with a girl is nothing.

If you can't get it, your image will collapse.

"I admit that I was a little bit carried away at the time. Before we went to sleep, the girl kept saying that we were just bedfellows and that I must not get carried away. But the problem is..."

"Pregnant?" Chen Shuo's voice suddenly became a little louder. This was quite funny.

"No, no, that's not the case."

Tong Lao 6 waved his hands quickly: "She is still very sensible. After waking up, she bought medicine for herself."

Chen Shuo couldn't help but give Tong Laoliu a middle finger, saying, "You kid, you don't even take safety measures. You really can't bear any injustice."

If it's just such a trivial matter, it's unlikely to reach the emperor. Chen Shuo doesn't have the time to care about the trivial matters of a certain anchor on a certain platform under him.

But in ancient times, the emperor would always have a few jesters around him to please him, and the dandy would have a few lackeys around him. Tong Laoliu is now doing very well in the circle of internet celebrities, and he claims to the outside world that he has a very good personal relationship with Chen Shuo.

Under the guise of Chen Shuo, even popular female anchors from other platforms are willing to work on the script with Tong Laoliu.

"Since you're not pregnant, what are you afraid of? Could it be that you're really attracted to her and want to quit the entertainment industry, get married, and live your life like a fish out of water?"

"No, no, no, I haven't made enough money yet. I need to make at least 300 million to live a worry-free life."

Damn, you are so arrogant. I work so hard in the capital, and I say I only want tens of millions of dollars, but you ask for three hundred million.

Chen Shuo took a puff of cigarette: "What does that mean?"

"The main reason is that the girl was too obsessed and insisted on dating me. She also threatened me, saying that if I didn't agree, she would completely ruin me."

"How much more stinky can you get?"

"."

The circle of internet celebrities is like this, just like that of celebrities. When your fans support you, whatever you do is right. But when your fans stop supporting you, they can bring you down in minutes.

There are so many people who are jealous of Tong Jingcheng now. If that girl who is too obsessed with her really wants to cause trouble, and other platforms add fuel to the fire, it will be a bit difficult to deal with.

Have it.

"You might as well just expose it yourself, but don't say that you slept with her. Be subtle, drink some wine, shed some tears, cover your face during the live broadcast and say, 'Brothers, I really failed this time, I decided to quit for a while and wait for me to come back.'"

Tong Jingcheng was shocked: "No way, Mr. Shuo, I'm losing a lot of money if I stop broadcasting for one day, and Mr. Guo also said that if I stop broadcasting, many fans will be attracted to other platforms. This, this loss is too huge."

"What's the hurry? Just listen to me first."

Chen Shuo has already planned a big drama in his mind: "After the show is over, you can go to Li Ziqi's place and retire to the countryside. Mr. Guo will go and coordinate with Li Ziqi and Tong Jingcheng, a lonely girl from Taoyuan and a ruined young man from a big city."

"You go and do some hard labor, and then I will make an agreement with Li Ziqi in advance that you will deliberately use the old tricks against female internet celebrities to deal with her during the live broadcast, and Li Ziqi will turn a blind eye to these tricks, and you will fail at the last hurdle."

"After this game, the heat has risen."

Tong Jingcheng thought about it carefully, and then his eyes lit up immediately: "Great, I've been defeated by Li Ziqi, and then I can create a persona of someone who has returned from cultivation and continue to kill people, right?"

You are a teachable boy with great insight. No wonder you can succeed.

As soon as Tong Lao 6 left, Chen Shuo said to Guo Zhengyun: "Don't bother me with this kind of thing in the future. Don't think how much I like Tong Jingcheng. Don't worry about what you do."

Old Guo immediately understood what was said and said with a smile: "After all, you found the child yourself. He is doing well at work now and will be of great use in the future, so I dare not make the decision on my own."

"I don't have that much free time, so don't think I have to do everything myself. You have the traffic in your hands. If this one fails, new people will naturally emerge."

"Boss Shuo, I understand."

Playing is playing, but sometimes when Chen Shuo feels bored, he will ask Tong Jingcheng to arrange a drinking party and invite Jian Jia and Yu Mo to join in the fun.

But if you want me to check everything for you just for this matter?

I'm sorry, I want to be on equal footing with the big guys in the future. Cleaning up the mess for the big anchors is the job of the live broadcast platform. What does it have to do with me, the chairman of Mimi Technology?
You dig out the manure and I'm the chairman. We each have our own division of labor.

In the evening, Li Yanhong called Chen Shuo.

Handsome Li is really fast this time.

Chen Shuo already had a rough guess in his mind, and after answering the phone, he said in a cheerful tone: "Hello, Mr. Li."

"Boss Shuo, I accept your proposal. I also want to learn your way of working. Let's get straight to the point." Li Yanhong spoke faster. "Before, you came to the capital to meet me. This time, I will go to Mingzhou to meet you in person and finalize everything. It's better to do it as soon as possible."

"I understand, Mr. Li. I'll be waiting for your arrival." Chen Shuo smiled happily.

Done. From now on, I probably won't have to worry about spending money on the food delivery platform. Chen Shuo sat alone in the office for an entire afternoon, his mind working rapidly.

Two live streaming platforms and one Bilibili (which will develop into a large video portal in the future) are just small profits.

Mimi Mall is growing rapidly, but if it wants to compete with Ahri, its opponent needs to make stupid moves. This requires gradual progress and cannot be achieved overnight. Moreover, as of now, even if Mr. Ma publicly makes remarks that would make him fall from grace, it is highly likely that he will not fall from grace at the moment.

The decline of any thing or person is the result of accumulation over time. If the overall situation remains unchanged, the superiors will be tolerant of certain behaviors.

But once the situation becomes serious, you will be hit with an iron fist.

Chen Shuo deliberately set up the food delivery platform. Making money is secondary. He wanted to earn some fame for himself through the food delivery platform. Don't underestimate this fame, sometimes fame can save lives.

If you are cheated or fall into trouble in the future, the social security provided to deliverymen now will be your life-saving straw in the future.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Finally, achieve invincibility.

Short video platform!
In the era of short videos in later generations, it goes without saying how much money Douyin makes. It has directly opened up a new Internet era. But this is only commodity value. Its real strategic value lies in united front work.

The truly amazing thing about Tik Tok is its successful overseas expansion. As long as I can replicate this success story, then I, Xiao Chen, will have a real golden ticket to immortality.

Mimi Technology, Research Department
Chen Shuo pushed the door and walked into the smoky office. He was so choked that he waved his hands repeatedly, "Damn these smokestacks."

Junior high school student Fei Lin was serving tea and water to the technicians. He would occasionally stop by and watch the technicians typing code and discussing work problems. It was unknown whether his genius brain could learn without a teacher.

"Mr. Shuo."

"Mr. Shuo."

When the programmers noticed Chen Shuo coming, they all stood up.

Chen Shuo nodded and asked, "Where is your boss?"

"Boss Jiangbao just ran out, shouting as he ran, 'I have done it, I have done it,'" he said. "I don't know what's going on."

"."

Could it be that the beta version of the platform has already been built?
