After being reborn, I also want to fall in love

No matter how much misunderstanding there was within the group, Chen Shuo seemed to be stubbornly throwing money at the short video platform.

Overseas video portals and Netflix are competing fiercely, with Netflix having a slight advantage, especially in North America, where the number of paying users has reached a new high.

Chen Shuo has already planned out three ways to attract users after TIKTOK enters North America. The first one is to give one month's video portal membership to users after registering on TIKTOK.

Then there is the collaboration, with Hollywood superstars, NBA stars, football players, etc., letting them join and post short videos, which will cost another huge amount of money.

In short, art is about making gold coins.

In the afternoon, a vice president from Echeng flew to Mimi Technology to visit Chen Shuo.

For the cooperation, the main content is divided into two parts, one is online literature and the other is e-sports.

When Chen Shuo started live streaming, the domestic e-sports industry was booming. At that time, League of Legends had not yet reached the stage where the entire Internet cafe was filled with "all-out attacks", so Chen Shuo used very little money to sign countless professional players, and as soon as they retired, they came to the live streaming platform to work as slaves.

This won’t work in a few years, as all kinds of grand competitions have become gimmicks for internet celebrities to gain popularity, and they are just a niche for fans who truly love e-sports.

"To be frank, I was attracted by the host's long legs. Ugh, so cheap!"

The road to fame for online writers and professional e-sports players can be described in one sentence: One general's success is the result of the sacrifices of thousands of soldiers.

Both professions have one thing in common, that is, they rely on talent.

No e-sports player reaches the top through unremitting efforts and continuous hard work. Instead, they just start playing the game and then choose to embark on the professional path.

Moreover, this profession has a biggest limitation. Except for a very few extremely talented monsters, their career is extremely short.

Online writers have a long career, but it is not easy to make money. For example, for the leading online writing companies, works with an average subscription of 8000 can enter the "boutique channel". Qidian has been around for more than years, and there are less than novels that can achieve this result (including those above the boutique level).

This is the result shown for many veteran authors, who may have multiple books that have achieved this result under one pen name.

Online writers also have a habit of using a pseudonym, so if you hang around for a few years you’ll find that there are only a small number of people who can achieve success in writing.

Even fewer can persevere.

The elimination rate is ridiculously high. With this kind of enthusiasm, you can become the "single king" by delivering food.

Most of those who make a living from online literature and games have a miserable life, but the number of users of these two industries is really too exaggerated.

The number of users of online literature and e-sports has reached over 400 million.

Moreover, the overlap between these two users is very high.

"China Literature Group was established last year. We integrated the resources of Goose City Literature and Shanda Literature. Currently, the group owns the largest paid online literature platform in China. At the same time, we will deepen our efforts in film and television adaptation and animation. In the next five years, we will work with partners to build an IP ecological full-industry business matrix."

The vice president in charge of China Literature Group sat face to face with Chen Shuo and explained his business ideas in detail.

Chen Shuo handed over a cigarette and asked, "How much help can I provide?"

“It’s mainly about IP and production team.”

The vice president smiled and said, "After we established China Literature Group, we learned that President Shuo had bought the copyrights of most of the popular online literature IPs in the past few years, and Station A has won long-term cooperation contracts with several of the best animation production teams in China."

“So we found that the best teams and IPs on the market are not in Yuewen, but in your Mimi Pictures and Station A.”

Chen Shuo sniffed and smiled without saying anything.

So what? Are you unhappy?
I did all these things before selling you the live streaming platform.

In business, it's normal to stab each other in the back.

"Of course, Station A also needs these good IPs to adapt and produce. It would be better for the two companies to share resources and contribute to the prosperity of online literature together."

The vice president of Goose City made a suggestion: "The production team and IP are your company's bargaining chips. Our group's bargaining chips are also rich, mainly in terms of funds. Moreover, we have already won the largest paid online literature platform in China. In the future, this platform will continue to provide excellent IP."

"In the future, we can work together on the production and adaptation of these IPs."

Last year's huge hit "Nirvana in Fire" directly brought Hu Ge, who had been doing poorly, to fame, but it had nothing to do with Yuewen, because the copyright of the novel had been bought long ago, and they must have been jealous.

Looking back at it from later generations, in terms of male-oriented TV series, the most successful film and television adaptation is "Joy of Life", and the most successful comic adaptation is "Douluo Dalu". The comic version of the latter has a dominant position among primary and secondary school students.

The most successful online novel adaptation by Chen Shuo's A Station is the female-oriented novel "The Story of Minglan".

In fact, both companies are in urgent need of filling the film libraries of their own video portals.

A video platform must release several hit dramas in a year in order to sell memberships and advertisements. To have a phenomenal annual hit like "Kuaishou" depends on luck.

"I have no reason to refuse." Chen Shuo nodded with a smile.

The vice president of Echeng felt relieved at once. He didn't expect Chen Shuo to agree so readily.

"We must also pay attention to the female paying market in both industries," Chen Shuo added. "Male and female channels are two different things. There are many popular female channel IPs. If they are done well, the returns are also very rich. The same is true for games. I think we can pay more attention to the B-game industry."

Chen Shuo is already doing this, and the focus of his investment is on paper stacking games.

He had forgotten about this matter. It was Guo Zhengyun who negotiated it at the beginning of last year. At the beginning of last year, he invested in Paper Games. Half a year later, "Miracle Nikki" was launched and won the first place in major charts.

Next year, the game company will launch a game called "Love and Producer" targeting young women. In less than half a year, it has 6000 million users.

When Cook came to Southeast University, he also visited this company on purpose.

“As for the e-sports industry…”

Chen Shuo took a look at the business plan and said to the vice president of Goose City, "When I started the live broadcast platform, various competitions were already very formalized. We just need to follow the procedures. In addition, your company is professional in the field of games. If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know."

"I won't be in charge of the business in this specific way in the future. If you have any questions, just talk to my vice president Guo Zhengyun. He is in charge of this area."

Chen Shuo stood up and shook hands with the vice president of Echeng. "Well, let Mr. Guo receive you tonight. You two can have a drink and discuss further."

The vice president of Echeng hurriedly declined politely: "Boss Shuo, I will come to visit Boss Guo in two days. I have to take a flight to the capital tonight. I will come here as soon as I get back from the capital."

Tsk, are you really that hardworking?

God's chosen worker.

Chen Shuo's current situation is that even if he wants to manage it, he can't. Unknowingly, Mimi Technology's business segments have expanded too much.

Even if Chen Shuo worked himself to death, it would be impossible for him to manage everything, so now in the company's business, except for Miyin, which he is directly in charge of, there are dedicated persons in charge.

You can’t make your career the whole of your life, otherwise you will have no time to play.

Chen Shuo’s attitude towards life is simple: make money, pick up girls, and enjoy life.

Someone from the financial investment department also handed over a business plan. Chen Shuo took a look at it and threw it into the trash can.

It is engaged in financial business and can be placed in Mimi Mall or Miyin. To put it simply, it is: online lending.

A few years after this thing came into being, it seemed that every APP had the function of lending money. In just a few years, countless money lending APPs were born. Of course, there were people who benefited from it, but they did not pay back the borrowed money. Not long after, those wild APPs went bankrupt.

"I don't think this business can bring much benefit to the company. We can survive without making this money."

Borrowing money online is outrageous.

The most likely operation is this: you are given a credit limit of several thousand yuan at the beginning, and the user thinks that on average, he will only pay a few hundred yuan a month, and directly ignores the high interest. After a few months of use, the credit limit will increase, and gradually, the monthly payment of a few hundred yuan will become a few thousand yuan.

At this time, the user will deliberately set aside a portion of the quota, and then borrow it out and repay it next month when it is time to repay. But do you think the platform is stupid?

Your credit limit will be directly suspended, and users have no choice but to go to other platforms. Going back and forth, it becomes a matter of robbing Peter to pay Paul. A debt of a few thousand will evolve into tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, until the cycle can no longer continue and the company will go bankrupt.

When Chen Shuo criticized the person in charge of the financial sector, Zhao Qiner was also present. After everyone left, Zhao Qiner, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, asked Chen Shuo curiously.

"Why would the platform dare to lend money to people who only earn a few thousand yuan a month? What if they simply refuse to pay it back?"

Chen Shuo glanced at Zhao Qiner and explained, "Because there are very few people who are willing to risk their lives, the platform is not targeting you, but your family members who are unwilling to give up on you."

Zhao Qiner certainly cannot empathize with people who borrow money online. How could she borrow money for a mobile phone or bag worth thousands of dollars, or for personal consumption?

It's almost the same when others ask her to borrow money.

Having almost finished his official business, Chen Shuo prepared to go off work.

"By the way, why does Fang Keli run away as soon as she gets off work these days? Is she in a relationship?" Chen Shuo asked casually.

Zhao Qiner handed the coat to Chen Shuo and replied with a smile: "The final exam is approaching, Secretary Fang has to go back to the dormitory to review. Not every student can be like President Shuo, who can pass the postgraduate entrance examination without attending classes or taking exams."

Chen Shuo frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about? My current learning model was tailored for me by the University of Minnesota, with social practice as the main form of examination. This is a major breakthrough in domestic higher education, and I am the test subject."

Zhao Qiner: “.”

Entering the elevator, Chen Shuo put his hands in his pockets and glanced at Zhao Qiner behind him: "You had a very happy chat with Ran Chaoyun and Yue Diling yesterday. Do you have something in common?"

"of course."

Zhao Qiner replied with a smile: "Our common language is you, President Shuo."

Chen Shuo raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "What does it have to do with me?"

"Who knows?"

Zhao Qin'er said delicately, "I found that I might be hated by others."

Chen Shuo liked Zhao Qin'er's sudden flirting, so he asked jokingly, "Why?"

"Because those two beautiful girls felt that I had bad intentions by working for Mr. Shuo."

Chen Shuo suddenly realized: "Then they were not wrong."

"Hate it."

"."

The two walked out of the elevator, and Chen Shuo took the car keys from Zhao Qiner. As long as he didn't have any social engagements or overtime, he would go home and live there.

Zhao Qiner stopped, bowed slightly, put her hands behind her back and said goodbye with a smile: "Boss Shuo, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Chen Shuo pressed the car key, and among the row of vehicles of various models in the underground garage, a red Ferrari LaFerrari turned on its lights.

"I have such bad luck today. It turned out to be a sports car." Chen Shuo frowned, shook his head and sighed, "I hope I will have better luck tomorrow."

After saying that, he got into the car with great effort.

That little bit of anticipation every day is for Zhao Qiner to randomly choose the car keys, just like when she was a student, looking forward to what dish her mother would cook on the way home from school.

Although I know my mother can only cook those few dishes, I still look forward to it.

next day
Chen Shuo woke up from his 1.8-meter by 2.2-meter bed, scratched his hair, picked up the basically new textbook on the table, and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Seeing Chen Shuo coming downstairs with his textbook under his arm, Lin Jingrong asked curiously, "Are you going to sell it as scrap?"

"What crap, I need to review, Mom."

Chen Shuo sat down, took a sip of the preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and complained: "How could you forget that I am a college student?"

Lin Jingrong sighed: "You can't blame me for this. After all, you are the first one. The school principal personally called the parents and said that my child's talent is not in studying. But I am still a very happy mother."

"I will make up for this last regret with practical actions." Chen Shuo drank the porridge heroically, brushed his teeth, smacked his little sister's pink face before leaving, swaggered into the Ferrari, and sped away.

Lin Jingrong glanced at the textbook on the table that Chen Shuo had forgotten to take away, and picked up her little sister: "It seems that you really didn't take my words to heart at all."

After saying that, he turned around and carried his little sister to the yard to bask in the sun.

Mingda.

On the eve of the final exam, there are more people competing for seats in the library than usual.

Most of the students in these key universities are quite self-conscious. They would like to grab a seat like a small single room. If they can’t, they will just gather at the big tables.

People came and went, and apart from the occasional sound of stools being pulled, there was no particularly loud noise.

Ran Chaoyun and Yue Diling stood beside a bookshelf and slowly squatted down.

"Is that that one?"

"Yes, that's right."

"She's so pretty."

"."

Yue Diling glared at Ran Chaoyun: "I noticed that you have a tendency to overshadow others. Is that appropriate?"

Ran Chaoyun rolled his eyes at Yue Diling: "So what? I'm just telling the truth. If she wasn't pretty, how could Brother Chen Shuo like her for so long? Open your eyes and face your opponent."

Xiao Yue was speechless.

"But how should we tell her?" Ran Chaoyun held his face with both hands, a little distressed, "Should we just say, Senior Yi Yining, Senior Chen Shuo has a Beaker Assistant by his side, you'd better keep a close eye on him, is that appropriate?"

Yue Diling thought for a moment and said, "It would be appropriate for you to go and say it."

"why?"

"Because then it has nothing to do with me."

The two looked at each other and then sighed.

Ran Chaoyun: "You can't form an alliance if you're like this."

Yue Diling nodded in agreement: "I'll change it."

"So, now?"

"We will have to face it sooner or later, let's go!!" (End of this chapter)
