Love? I'm reborn and I just want to get rewards

Chapter 350 Take it, take them all!
After obtaining ByteDance’s shares, Su Huai went to ByteDance for a meeting.

Those shares had originally signed a joint action agreement, and the resale had also been approved by Zhang Yiming, so both parties took this meeting seriously and at the same time did not take it seriously.

You take it seriously because the people you will be dealing with in the future have changed, and you don’t take it seriously because neither the relationship nor the general trend has changed.

After signing another agreement on concerted action, Su Huai asked with a smile, "Who will lead the next round of financing? I wonder if Xingyu will have this honor?"

Zhang Lidong was very happy to hear this: "Of course! In fact, we are quite interested in Xingyu, and have long wanted to ask Mr. Su for advice. If you have nothing to do today, how about we have a good chat?"

"Well, I have a lot to learn from you guys."

The atmosphere was very good, so everyone chatted in Zhang Yiming's office for the whole afternoon.

The most curious question among the three is, how did Su Huai expand his business to such a large scale in such a short time?
Nowadays, Xingyu has a much bigger voice than Douyin. There is a meme on the Internet: There are tens of thousands of beauties in the world, and half of them are Xingyu anchors.

The old and uncensored company has Xingyu’s guild fans on all live streaming platforms.

What Su Huai was thinking was that this question could not be answered, my buddy was cheating.

But he kept spouting one big truth after another.

“In fact, there is no essential difference between our algorithm and yours. We all have a precise grasp of the psychology of users and anchors. Because we empathize with anchors and know that it is not easy for them, we take care of every aspect to the extreme. As a result, anchors feel that we understand them and are willing to work hard and grow with us…”

After drinking this bowl of chicken soup, the three big guys listened attentively, thinking a lot.

This is human nature. Because you have succeeded, what you say must make sense. Whether you believe it or not, you have to think about it carefully, and you never know what your imagination will lead you to.

But Su Huai did not say nothing. He shared his understanding of the phenomenon that "traffic is increasingly concentrated on individuals."

"The great division of labor in modern society has brought about increasingly detailed deepening of disciplines. The current large-scale production in society has brought about increasingly thick barriers to product understanding. The information explosion in modern society has made it increasingly difficult to distinguish between true and false, right and wrong. The era of small families in the past, where 'as long as we know a little bit about everything, we can live well', has completely passed. Now is an unprecedented era of high-density information, in which we need the help of others even more.

So why are there review bloggers who are so popular online?
Because we need someone to help us determine whether these new products are good or not and whether they can be used.

You won't get a deep enough understanding by searching on Baidu.

The same is true in other fields. For example, Mr. Zhang, you like reading very much, but you only have time to read one book in the past month. How do you decide which book to devote such precious time to?

You can either go to Douban to check the ratings and read the book reviews, or simply find a reliable book blogger and listen to his recommendations.

Right?

Okay, Mr. Zhang, please give me an answer from your heart now."

Zhang Yiming's scientific thinking instantly took over: "Since the prerequisite is that time is tight, then flipping through book reviews will definitely not work. The efficiency is too low. Then I will most likely let my assistant do this and ask him to pick a good book for me."

Su Huai laughed dumbly: "But you don't know what you need. Can you clearly say what kind of book you want to read right now? You can't? We read books very likely because we heard a certain recommendation and it suddenly touched our hearts."

Zhang Nan added: "I will definitely follow bloggers and listen to their recommendations. This is what I do when I buy cosmetics. I also follow several children's education bloggers on Douyin. When it comes to this aspect, I listen to them completely."

Zhang Lidong also said: "In fact, this is the same as our algorithm. In essence, it is based on solving the efficiency of users."

"Yes, nowadays, everyone's time is precious. Learning and entertainment must be efficient. If we can't have a smart brain and more time, then we can leave some of the thinking work to an external brain."

Su Huai gave the conclusion.

“So why is traffic increasingly concentrated on individuals rather than on a certain organization or group?

Because we need someone to stand there and show us: Look, this external brain is smart and professional.

We will trust opinion leaders who are vivid, authentic and aloof from the issues involved, and we are unlikely to trust an organization with unclear stance and that exists for profit.

We can have an imaginative resonance and concrete communication with that person, but it is impossible to get these from a company.

Therefore, no matter how many guild fans Xingyu has, they only trust Xingyu's reputation and it is impossible for them to spend money on Xingyu with their eyes closed.

The anchors and bloggers in Xingyu are the ones who truly have the appeal to dominate their fans.

So what exactly is a traffic terminal?
I think it’s definitely not Xingyu, and it’s unlikely to be Douyin, but one of our real internet celebrities after another.”

When they talked about this, all three of them were convinced.

Zhang Yiming sighed, “Our platform also creates stars, and your platform also creates stars, but we use algorithms to push them to people who like them without knowing why they like them, while you truly understand the different needs of different users. No wonder you can launch so many big internet celebrities…”

Just listening to what he says, he might be a big liar who speaks very beautifully.

But looking at the results, they have both theory and practical results. Isn't this awesome?
There are only a few internet celebrities who can be called S+ now, and the Xingyu family accounts for half of them. Su Huai is simply a Midas touch, he is so amazing.

Zhang Lidong and Zhang Nan looked at each other and put forward new suggestions for cooperation.

"We at Douyin are definitely going to start live streaming. When the time comes, could you please ask Mr. Su to send someone over to help us set up the venue?"

Su Huai smiled calmly: "If you just want a few people, there's no reason to make it so serious, right?"

Zhang Lidong replied: "Of course, I hope to bring some anchors with enough weight, such as the top anchors headed by Yu Ji. We will accept all of them."

Su Huai disagreed and shook his head: "That depends on whether the contract allows it. To be fair, I am the second largest individual shareholder of Panda, and I can't do anything that harms the interests of Panda."

At this moment, Su Huai had light in his eyes and his face was filled with holy light.

"Of course." Zhang Nan interrupted hurriedly, "Lidong doesn't want you to breach the contract, but hopes to develop a closer and more mutually beneficial cooperation in this regard..."

Su Huai nodded: "That's fine, we can talk about this slowly."

After a long time, this was the first bait that Gouhuai laid for Douyin.

Next, Zhang Lidong asked whether he could ask his internet celebrities to open Douyin accounts and post more videos.

Su Huai deliberately hesitated for a while and agreed halfway.

"Ziqi's long videos are not very convenient and not very adaptable; Zigui has signed an agreement with Kuaishou, which is not a good idea either; Jiaqi's live broadcast is based on e-commerce, which is not suitable either; then let's go with Quanquan and Yuji. Next, I will let them officially settle in Douyin and make an official announcement."

"Okay, okay, that's great, I'll tell the people below to cooperate attentively!"

Zhang Lidong and the others were very happy and felt that this was a good opportunity.

In fact, Yu Ji and Quan Quan also have accounts now, but they are operated by Xing Yu. They only post some simple daily content and there is no major publicity, so the traffic-attracting effect is not very significant.

Once they officially announce their entry into Douyin on major platforms and make a bigger splash, the effect will be completely different.

At that time, Douyin had many competitors, such as Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, Miaopai, and Weipai... The three photos were actually under a lot of pressure, and were far from the kind of unique and domineering aura of later generations.

Su Huai's just-right help won him a lot of goodwill.

Zhang Yiming turned to Zhang Nan and asked, "We can't use a big internet celebrity like Yu Jiquanquan for free. Should we give her some entry fee?"

Before Zhang Nan could answer, Su Huai refused.

"No, it's only right to help your company attract traffic. This isn't an endorsement, why should I pay you?"

The speaker is intentional, but the listener is not. Zhang Lidong was reminded all of a sudden: "Ask Yu Ji to be the spokesperson? Actually, it's not impossible..."

"Don't make a fuss, she's not a star."

Su Huai firmly refused: "And if you want to endorse a platform, it must be Panda. Don't worry about this traffic. I will find a more suitable person for you when there is a chance in the future."

There's another chance. Why is this kid so stubborn?
San Zhang wasn't annoyed, he just felt that Su Huai was difficult to deal with and understood his level.

"Okay, let's walk and watch later."

So the few people stopped talking about it.

In fact, Su Huai didn't plan to let his daughter take over the endorsement of Douyin promotion at the beginning. She was not suitable for this and her personality was not compatible.

The reason for laying the ambush in advance is actually to prepare for Chaoyue. When 101 becomes popular next year and the Koi meme goes viral, she can be promoted as the promoter of Douyin. Then Douyin will explode and become the top, Chaoyue will get the meat and add another credit to the Koi meme. Isn't it great?

A wise man plans ten steps ahead when he takes one step, but Gou Huai never says a word of nonsense.

As the conversation deepened, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and Zhang Yiming finally took the initiative to bring up the issue of financing.

"ByteDance is currently raising funds externally. In this round, we need at least $20 billion in development funds. Mr. Su, are you willing to participate?"

Holy shit! 20 billion?
Where can I get 20 billion Dole for you? !

Su Huai was timid in his heart, but said in a domineering tone: "If you accept the share exchange, you can give as many Xingyu as you want. But since we are short of money for development, we can't afford to invest too much, so we can only call the parents."

Before Zhang Yiming could react, Zhang Lidong's eyes lit up: "Can you convince Gu to lead the investment?"

"What else are you leading?"

Su Huai waved his hand domineeringly and raised his chin: "Gu's company has invested all of it!"

"Oh, that's great!"

The three siblings were immediately overjoyed and felt that this new friend was really easy to get along with and would really help when there was something going on!
As an old investment group, Gu's has invested relatively little in Internet companies, but its strength is obvious to all, especially the complex network of relationships behind it, which gives it a lot of methods and energy abroad.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, brother!"

Zhang Lidong looked at Su Huai affectionately, held his hand tightly, and shook it again and again.

"If it can be done, I will be the boss and we can pool some more shares to give you the 5%."

Gou Huai was instantly happy and shook his hand back vigorously: "Okay, it's a deal!"

No matter how shabby this 5% may seem, Su Huai has made up his mind not to sell a single share and keep it for his retirement.

How much it is worth is not important; what is important is the internal voice.

If you want to play with traffic and spread your influence through Douyin TK, what will the treatment be if you don’t have shares and what will the treatment be if you have shares?
It's all tears if I talk about this too much. There are so many internet celebrities who wish to worship Zhang Yiming as their godfather. They are all forced by the traffic. The more they enjoy it when they are on the Internet, the more painful it is when they let it go.

Of course, Su Huai is also a father now.

In the future, he also wants to leave a share of the entertainment platform he develops to ByteDance.

Anyway, the live broadcast styles of the two platforms do not conflict. Douyin is too serious. Look at others doing Y... cough cough.

After chatting to their heart's content, Su Huai rejected the other party's invitation to stay for dinner, sneaked back to school, picked up little Gu, went to her house to chat... and persuade Gu Tongshu.

Originally, Lao Du was in a good mood today. He had been busy outside for more than a month and had just returned to the capital. He wanted to have a good emotional communication with his beloved daughter.

Long time no see, I miss you baby!
Then, just as the meal was ready at home, a dog came over following the smell.

Before he could even frown, Su Huai took out his slippers as if he was at home and sat down leisurely in his favorite seat.

"Uncle Gu, when did you come back?"

Gu Tongshu's cheeks jumped up and down. While his daughter was changing clothes, he asked through gritted teeth, "You know my house very well now, don't you?"

"Well, it's just so-so."

Su Huai waved his hand modestly, and stabbed again: "At least I have never been into the kitchen..."

Such a simple sentence caused great harm to Gu Tongshu.

Why?
When those two grandparents are at home, I always have to go into the kitchen to wash fruits and serve snacks for them!

Just when he was about to curse, Gu Jiuyue came down after changing his clothes. The father and son's expressions changed instantly at the same time, and they started chatting in a familiar and harmonious manner.

"Xiao Su, how was the chat at ByteDance? Zhang Yiming has some ideas, right?"

"pretty good."

Su Huai nodded, and suddenly looked attentive: "I also helped you negotiate the E round of investment in them. You can get on board after paying the money. Alas, this makes me tired..."

Gu Tongshu was dumbfounded: "Just talk about your own things, why are you voting for me?"

"Gu Gu likes it!"

Su Huai replied as a matter of course, and turned to look at Gu Jiuyue: "Isn't it? Douyin is much more fun than Kuaishou, right?"

Gu Jiuyue didn’t understand the whole story, but as a good friend, there was nothing wrong with that!
So I nodded vigorously: "Yes, Tik Tok is fun."

Gu Tongshu laughed angrily: "So?"

Su Huai said confidently: "So I want to buy some more ByteDance shares to give to Xiao Gu, but I can't afford it!
Well, you are her father, so it will be the same if you buy it for her as a gift. So I racked my brains with Zhang Yiming and others for an entire afternoon, and finally reached a consensus with great difficulty.

Now you just have to pay me, I did a great job, didn't I? "

What the hell!

So I owe you a big favor?!
Gu Tongshu didn't grit his teeth, but his lips trembled uncontrollably.

Every time, Su Huai would push his limits of understanding. He kept saying this kind of things every day. Wasn't he really afraid of being beaten to death?

Su Huai: I’m sorry, I never talk to other big guys like this…

At this time, Gu Jiuyue asked curiously: "How much does it cost to invest in ByteDance now? Can our Tianyi afford it?"

we?!
Gu Tongshu: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Su Huai glanced at him and shook his head honestly: "20 billion US dollars, 9% of the shares, is cheaper than when we exchanged shares, but Tianyi may not be able to afford it."

"Oh."

Gu Jiuyue understood, then turned around and sat next to Gu Tongshu, holding his arm and getting close to him.

"Dad, invest, invest, invest. Otherwise, can you give me some more money? Okay?"

Gu Tongshu was so confused that he looked up and looked at Su Huai proudly: Did you see that? After all, this is my daughter!

Su Huai shrugged and mouthed two words to him: childish.

Gu Tongshu ignored it.

"Okay, okay, give it, give it!"

He laughed foolishly, and then suddenly woke up at the last moment when he lost all his principles, and changed his words: "Forget it, let Gu's invest directly. If Dad cashes out and transfers another 20 billion US dollars to you, it will cause gossip..."

Gu Jiuyue subconsciously turned her head to look at Su Huai, and Su Huai shook his head secretly.

The bastard sneered in his heart: You only know how to guard against me, but don’t you know how to guard against others?

Gu’s is not entirely your Gu’s, but it is all Little Gu’s will. ByteDance’s 9% stake is so valuable, why should I give it to your big family in return?
take!
Gu Bao, hold the most valuable things firmly in your own hands!

************
　Speeding up the pace doesn’t mean you don’t want to write anymore after making money. If you really don’t want to write, just quit. There are plenty of opportunities in the main business anyway, right?

　　The main reason is that the track selection of this book is problematic. I found that people don’t like to read it. In addition, it is obvious that I can’t write about the harem, and many chapters were blocked in the beginning, so I felt that something was wrong.

　　The reason why I updated so little last month was because I was thinking and weighing the pros and cons.

　　In the end, I found that I actually still like writing novels instead of treating it as a job, so when I am passionate about it, I write quickly and well, but my performance plummets after being blocked a few times.

　　I won’t say more for now, but I will definitely not quit the circle, that’s it.
