After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 214: If you don't have time, bite the lighter

"my pleasure."

Wang Chuting smiled sweetly and winked playfully.

There was a saying in ancient times that if you learn literary and martial arts, you can serve the emperor. Perhaps now it can be said that if you learn singing and dancing skills, you can serve the powerful.

She started working at Forbes magazine right after graduating from college. Over the past five years, she has rejected many suitors and has remained alone, just waiting for an opportunity to make the class leap.

The celebrities and politicians she had interviewed before were either too old or too ugly, but now she felt the time had come.

"I'll wait for you at the restaurant on the 91st floor at o'clock in the evening." Lu Liang smiled and watched the interview and filming team leave.

He was about to go back to the office when he suddenly felt a resentful gaze behind him.

Lu Liang turned around and saw Chen Jinchun busy cleaning the table. He walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Jinchun looked embarrassed and stammered, "Boss Lu, our team's creation has recently reached a bottleneck."

The company’s Douyin account has been unable to grow its followers since it reached 5 million, and the number of views has also dropped sharply in the past few days.

Commonly known as, dead~
"so what?"

"Mr. Lu, how about we also do an interview with you?"

Chen Jinchun became more and more excited as he spoke. If Forbes could do it, so could they. They would definitely make Lu Liang look charming.

Lu Liang hesitated and sighed: "If there is no work, just hire a few more planners. If it doesn't work, just bite a lighter."

Their company doesn't have any products to sell. Accepting interviews from magazines and media is one thing, but shooting videos every day is another.

Maybe he will wait until the new car is launched and sales flop, then he will come out to show up and attract traffic.

Chen Jinchun frowned, thinking seriously, and even tapped his teeth with his fingernails: "I think the lighter can't be bitten into pieces."

Lu Liang had a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest and couldn't help asking, "How did you get in in the first place?"

Chen Jinchun asked doubtfully: "Boss Lu, you were the one who recruited me, have you forgotten?"

"Go find Director Liu from the Human Resources Department and ask him to help you recruit a few more planners so that we can brainstorm together."

Lu Liang suddenly laughed and his anger subsided. It seemed not bad for the company to have such a naive person as a mascot.

"Okay." Chen Jinchun looked regretful.

Lu Liang laughed, waved to Wen Chao, and asked him to book a room in the restaurant next door and get a room in the hotel upstairs.

Back in the office, he took out the documents on the table and saw the development history of miHoYo and Xiaohongshu.

Cai Haoyu is a graduate student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In 11, he received a yuan startup fund from the Municipal Government Office's "Young Eagle Plan".

In the same year, he founded miHoYo with two classmates. In the past five years, they only received 100 million in financing.

With one million in funding, miHoYo worked hard and persevered until the release of "Honkai Impact 1" and "Honkai Impact 2".

The annual revenue of 1 million from "Honkai Impact 200" made them profitable for the first time, but life was still difficult.

It was not until the birth of "Honkai Impact 2" that the mobile Internet was developed and the company achieved revenue of 1.54 million last year, ushering in its harvest period.

As long as a gaming company makes a name for itself, it will never lack money. The same is true for miHoYo, but they have other ideas.

Cai Haoyu found Lu Liang. His idea was exactly the same as Zhang Chen of Mahua. They wanted to go public, but were rejected by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

Mahua’s problem is that its revenue is unstable, and miHoYo’s problem is that its income is single, with 90% of its revenue coming from one product.

They learned from their mistakes and decided to create projects other than the Honkai series, but there is still a funding gap of 7000 million.

“A valuation of $1.9 million.”

Lu Liang realized that MiHoYo approached him not only for financing, but also to share the risk.

"Honkai Impact 3" will be launched in the second half of the year. They are not sure whether it can make a profit, so they plan to find a few more investors to share the risk before the product is launched.

If Honkai Impact 3rd fails to generate revenue and its market value plummets, they will have enough funds to build new projects and try to pass the review of the China Securities Regulatory Commission again next year or the year after. Lu Liang put down Mihoyo's documents and picked up Xiaohongshu. Compared with Mihoyo, Xiaohongshu's financing was much smoother.

In the angel round, the company received 300 million US dollars from ZhenFund, and in the A and B rounds, it received a total of tens of millions of US dollars from Jinshajiang.

With a valuation of 3.8 million US dollars, the company plans to invest 20% of its equity in this Series C financing, raising 7600 million US dollars.

After thinking about it, Lu Liang decided to invest in both companies. He met Mao Wenchao and Cai Haoyu and had a few conversations with them.

Both are mature companies, one targeting women's wallets and the other targeting men's wallets.

It should have good development prospects. Besides, Lu Liang believes in Zhu Hu's vision. Since he has money but nowhere to spend it, he might as well follow him and give it a try.

After finishing his work, Lu Liang picked up his phone and saw the WeChat message from Wang Chuting, and proofread the content of the afternoon interview.

Forbes was worried that Lu Liang's meaning might be misinterpreted, so he sent the final version to him to see if there was anything that needed to be modified.

"Well, that's it."

Lu Liang opened Wang Chuting’s circle of friends and saw her three hobbies outside of work: yoga, traveling, and photography.

Legs longer than life, round peach buttocks, tight yoga pants, every photo exudes feminine charm.

Scrolling further, Lu Liang saw the content of her circle of friends around the Spring Festival and learned that her hometown was somewhere in Yuzhang.

Although they have Western ancestry, the family photo only features pure Chinese people, with a lack of a middle-aged man.

Lu Liang asked Wen Chao to contact the editor-in-chief of Forbes and find an excuse to get more detailed personal information about Wang Chuting.

Born in 90, his father's name is unknown and he took his mother's surname. He grew up in a single-parent family and had excellent grades since childhood. He graduated from the Journalism Department of Zhejiang University and won the top three in professional courses in the school many times. While in school, he applied for a scholarship for poor students. After graduation, he entered Forbes magazine with the first place in the written test and has been working there ever since.

A very hard-working and motivated girl.

Lu Liang came to the conclusion and took advantage of the time to go to the shopping mall next door at IFC and bought a valuable necklace.

Although Li Manli is snobbish and vain, her IQ is not high. Wang Chuting is different. She has been a top student since she was a child, and a top student at that.

If the information in Forbes is true, she has never had a boyfriend during her school years, and even in the five years since graduation, then her IQ is terrifyingly high.

A man’s first time is worthless, but a woman’s first time is very valuable. If you choose the right person and the right time, you can exchange it for a life without worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

For example, Su Wanyu. Although Lu Liang has not visited her recently, citing work as an excuse, she still has a place in his heart. If she graduates, he is willing to pave the way for her.

91: in the evening, st floor of IFC.

Wang Chuting attended the event in a white gauze dress, revealing her sexy collarbone and half of her beautiful back.

The skirt of the dress was very long, but she was taller than him, and a pair of Valentino pointed-toe shoes were faintly visible under the skirt.

Occasionally, her movements were a little larger, revealing her white ankles, which made Lu Liang think of Li Manli's explanation of Japanese yukata.

The reason why Japanese yukata is designed like that is the viewpoint that the Japanese have researched for thousands of years. The most mature and attractive part of a woman lies in her snow-white neck and ankles.

The thick and tight Japanese yukata will occasionally reveal these two parts as the wearer moves a little more, instantly increasing the visual impact a hundred times.

Although I don't know if this is heresy, it seems that the looming ankle is indeed quite impactful.

"Ms. Wang, you look so beautiful tonight." Lu Liang smiled, came to the door, and lent her a hand to prevent her from falling.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lu." Wang Chuting bowed with a smile on her face, then looked at the empty hall, feeling confused.

"Is there no one here today?" she asked curiously. Lu Liang led Wang Chuting to the table by the window and said, "Maybe business is not good."

Wang Chuting covered her mouth with her hands and giggled. She rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "I heard that it's hard to get a seat here. It can only mean that a more distinguished guest has arrived tonight."

"Ms. Wang, you are so narcissistic." Lu Liang joked with a smile, pulling out a chair and letting Wang Chuting sit down.

Very naturally, she took out a crystal clear necklace: "It's strange, I just saw it in the mall downstairs. It seemed to be able to talk from a distance, and asked me to help it find its owner."
