Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 320 Who is Mr. Huang?

It was dusk when we arrived at Handong TV Station.

After checking their tickets, the four of them walked in.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Cheng Yi met an acquaintance, Yang Chen, general manager of Handong Netcom Group.

“Hey, Brother Cheng.” Yang Chen was the first to greet him, laughing, “Your Momo Group is doing very well right now.”

Cheng Yi shook hands with Yang Chen and said with a smile, "Brother Yang, you are making fun of me. Our scale is so small that it can't even compare to one-tenth of your group."

"We are a state-owned enterprise, carrying the people's livelihood. There is no comparison, haha." Yang Chen laughed: "Among the private enterprises in Handong Province, your Momo Group can at least be ranked in the top 100. Our Handong Province has such a large population. No matter what field it is, being ranked in the top 100 is an incredible existence."

“Who are these three?” Yang Chen looked at Lin Qingyin and the other two girls, his gaze fell on Jiang Yuxi, and he smiled, “I know this one, she’s the Momo PHS recommendation officer, Xixi, right?”

Jiang Yuxi smiled at Yang Chen but said nothing.

She could tell that Yang Chen was an important person. When meeting an important person, it is best to keep silent if possible. This was the principle her father taught her.

Cheng Yi briefly introduced Lin Qingyin and the other two and said, "Brother Yang, doesn't your group also have a Lantern Festival party tonight? Can you spare some time?"

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Even if I can't get away, I have to. I didn't come to the Spring Festival Gala because of something. If I don't come to the Lantern Festival Gala, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to Handong Television?"

Cheng Yi deeply agrees with this.

Now that TV stations have such a great influence, no one wants to offend them easily.

Yang Chen said, "Brother Cheng, your Little Lingtong app is really taking off now. Do you have 300,000 users?"

"Almost there." Cheng Yi said: "Breaking through two million this year will not be a problem."

Yang Chen sighed, "How enviable! You've finally found a good track. Unlike us, we can't even find our direction right now."

Yang Chen is indeed helpless now.

Originally, broadband was divided by region, with southern provinces belonging to telecom companies and northern provinces belonging to Netcom companies.

However, due to the special status of Handong Province and the country's intention to let the two major groups grow through competition, the telecommunications company and the Netcom company were allowed to enter Handong Province at the same time, which led to the dispute between Telecom and Netcom.

The competition between the two families can be described as brutal.

With its natural advantages, Handong Telecom Company almost completely crushed Handong Netcom Company.

Yang Chen said, "Brother Cheng, you have to think more about me. I'm under a lot of pressure to achieve my performance this year."

Cheng Yi thought for a moment and said with a smile, "When our internet cafe expands, I'll get all the broadband in the northern provinces from Brother Yang, but you have to give me a better price."

"Sure, no problem." Yang Chen was overjoyed when he heard that.

The broadband used in Internet cafes is all high-speed broadband. One broadband can replace 10-20 broadbands for a household. For example, the broadband fee of Momo Internet Cafe in Handong Province is as high as million yuan per year.

Including the corporate broadband in the computer room, Momo Group’s annual broadband fees have exceeded 100 million yuan.

Forty percent of it went to Yang Chen's Netcom company.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, our group now has 10M broadband. If you are interested, I can waive the initial installation fee for you. It's 2200 yuan a month."

"2200 yuan?" Cheng Yi was indeed tempted.

Although 10M broadband and 8M broadband sound similar, there is still a difference in Internet speed. You should know that in 2002, the public Internet speed was only 512K and 1M.

The increased internet speed can save more than 1300 million every year. Only a fool would not want to do such a thing.

Cheng Yi knew exactly what Yang Chen meant, but he didn't give a clear answer. He smiled and said, "Brother Yang, after the Lantern Festival, I'll find time to treat you to tea."

"Okay." Yang Chen smiled cheerfully and said, "I'll go say hello to Director Fang first. You go ahead and get busy."

Cheng Yi nodded and watched Yang Chen leave.

"Who is this?" Jiang Yuxi asked curiously.

"The boss of Handong Province Netcom Company." Cheng Yi replied.

Jiang Yuxi was surprised and said, "Cheng Yi, you are so powerful! You even know the boss of Netcom?"

Just as Cheng Yi was about to speak, a familiar figure walked into the lobby of the TV station.

It’s Wu Tao.

Wu Tao was very happy to see Cheng Yi. He laughed and said, "Oh, Vice President Cheng, you were invited too?"

Wu Tao criticized the vice president very harshly, and sounded very surprised when he heard the word "invited", as if Cheng Yi was not qualified to come.

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "It can't be helped. Our chairman doesn't attend every event. For an event like this, he can just send a vice president like me. Huh? Why is President Wu here in person?"

Wu Tao's face darkened and he snorted coldly, "Are you scolding all the participants?"

"What did I say just now?" Cheng Yi said in surprise, "Mr. Wu, please don't slander me."

Wu Tao was so angry that he laughed at Cheng Yi's words. This young man is really a scoundrel!

Wu Tao said, "Vice President Cheng, you are indeed quite high-spirited right now, but I have a piece of advice for you: don't get too cocky."

"Inflated?" Cheng Yi laughed and said, "Boss Wu, you are flattering me. I am just an ordinary worker. It is not my turn to be arrogant, right?"

"It's great that you can clearly see your own position," Wu Tao said. "I have to admit that your clever tricks are quite innovative, but I also want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come up with such a good idea. On behalf of the group headquarters, I thank you."

Wu Tao said thank you, but his tone was full of resentment.

If it weren't for Momo Group's interference, they would have taken over Handong Province by now.

Why spend more than 100 million?
At this moment, Wu Tao really hated Nek in his heart. If Nek was released now, he really wanted to sink Nek into the sea.

If it weren't for Nek, he wouldn't have clashed with the Momo Group.

The two people Wu Tao hates the most are Nick and Cheng Yi.

The root of all this comes from the conflict between Nek and Cheng Yi.

Wu Tao knew very well that Momo Group's sudden involvement in the communications field was definitely instigated by Cheng Yi.

The Internet cafe industry and the communications industry are two unrelated industries.

There is no deep hatred between him and Momo Group, so why would Momo Group choose to confront their Starcom Group?

Could it be that they just wanted to find an opponent to test their fists? A ridiculous thought emerged in Wu Tao's mind.

A country has its own battle to establish itself, and a company has its own battle to establish itself. Starcom Group's first battle was to strangle Huawei Group in the bud with thundering force. Until now, Huawei Group has been unable to fight back.

Wu Tao didn't continue talking nonsense with Cheng Yi. He lifted his collar and walked towards the Lantern Festival Gala venue surrounded by several executives. The entrance time of the Lantern Festival Gala is different.

7:10 is the time for VIPs in the first and second rows to enter.

7:20 is the admission time for ordinary audiences.

Wu Tao, a tycoon who spent 200 million yuan, sat at table number two in the first row, far away from table number eight where Cheng Yi was sitting.

Table number one is located in the middle of the stage, with tables two and three next to it, and table eight is already on the right side of the first row.

As soon as Cheng Yi and the other three sat down, there was a slight commotion in the venue. Several political bigwigs sitting in the first row stood up and walked quickly towards the VIP entrance of the venue.

These big guys are all high-ranking officials of the Handong Provincial Government Affairs Association and represent the pinnacle of power in Handong Province. When they stand up together, it means that big shots have arrived.

Cheng Yi also looked back with some curiosity, and saw a man in light gray casual clothes walking into the venue accompanied by a man and a woman at the entrance of the venue.

"Huang Fei?" Cheng Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

On Huang Fei's left is Xu Zhigao, the director of Handong Provincial TV Station, and on his right is Huang Fei's assistant Ye Wan, a woman with ordinary looks but outstanding abilities.

"Mr. Huang."

"Mr. Huang." The big guys stepped forward quickly and shook hands with Huang Fei in greeting.

Huang Fei was also very humble. He shook hands with these big guys one by one. It was unknown what he said, but those big guys had fawning smiles on their faces and surrounded Huang Fei to table number one.

"What is the identity of this Huang Fei? Why does he have these big guys fawning over him so much?" Cheng Yi's mind was full of doubts.

Anyone who can monopolize the foreign garbage business must have a very high status, but Cheng Yi could never have imagined that Huang Fei's status was so high that he could be personally welcomed by these bigwigs from Handong Province.

Who is he?
In his previous life, Cheng Yi was 100% sure that there was absolutely no big shot named Huang Fei, whether in politics or business, at least this name had never appeared on the Internet.

Cheng Yi observed the guests at tables two to ten. These guests also had confusion written all over their faces, and it seemed that none of them knew Huang Fei.

Huang Fei was about thirty years old, had no special identity, and was not arrogant in his dealings with people. He was like a playful kid playing around in the world.

At the beginning, Cheng Yi just thought that Huang Fei was the child of a leader in Handong Province, but now it seems that it is not the case.

Those people who came to greet Huang Fei probably wouldn't be so eager and enthusiastic even if they met the son of the president of the Handong Provincial Government Affairs Association.

"Why don't we ask Li Chengxuan?" This thought just popped up in Cheng Yi's mind, but he dismissed it immediately.

just forget it.

In Li Chengxuan's mind, he knew Huang Fei, and if he asked about Huang Fei, it would be like showing his cowardice.

Moreover, judging from Huang Fei's current background, taking the initiative to inquire may not be a good thing.

Anyway, he and Huang Fei are not enemies, so he just needs to be careful about his attitude towards him in the future.

After thinking clearly about the interests involved, Cheng Yi's heart became calm.

After a few minutes, the audience began to enter from three doors.

The second row is mostly made up of well-known people from Handong Province, such as singers, movie stars, performing artists, calligraphers, etc. The third row is made up of small advertisers of Handong TV Station and their families.

With the arrival of 7:40, the Lantern Festival Gala officially began.

At the beginning of the party, looking at the cameras around her, Jiang Yuxi, who was a person of excitement, could not restrain her desire to perform. She waved to the camera on the left and then to the camera on the right, which made the entrepreneurs at table 9 and table 7 laugh.

Cheng Yi pulled Jiang Yuxi and said in a deep voice, "This is in the first row, can you please restrain yourself a little?"

Jiang Yuxi said, "I'm saying hello to my parents."

"Do your parents know you're going to the party?" Cheng Yi glared.

"Yeah, we finally got the chance, shouldn't we tell them?" Jiang Yuxi answered confidently.

"Fuck..." Cheng Yi really wanted to hit Jiang Yuxi on the head.

Since Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang knew about it, then his parents must have known about it too. If his parents knew about it, then his eldest uncle and his third uncle's family must have known about it too.

Cheng Yi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles when he imagined himself sitting in the first row surrounded by all his family members. He had brought three girls out today.

At this time, in a small house with a courtyard in Dongcang County, the three Cheng brothers and their families and Jiang Aiguo's family were sitting around a big table, watching the Lantern Festival Gala.

After a while, Jiang Aiguo pointed at the TV screen and shouted excitedly: "Look, it's Xiaoyi and Xixi."

"Xixi is dressed so beautifully. I have always felt that Xixi and Xiaoyi are a couple since I was a child." Cheng Yi's third aunt said.

Jiang Aiguo smiled and said, "I think so too."

"Hey? Who is the girl next to Cheng Yi? She is so beautiful." At this time, Aunt Jiang also spoke.

Everyone looked at it, and the picture was cut away.

A few minutes later, as several hosts walked out from three entrances, the camera once again fell on Cheng Yi and his group's table.

"Yeah, this girl is so pretty, could she be Cheng Yi's girlfriend?"

"The girl next to Yuxi is also very pretty, with a very special temperament."

"Jianshu, your son is really amazing. He is so popular with girls." Everyone immediately started discussing it.

As the three hosts came on stage, the picture was cut away again.

After the three hosts finished their opening remarks, they began the warm-up program.

After the warm-up program ended, the host invited Wu Tao to the stage and started an interactive session with him as the sponsor.

This interactive session was very cleverly designed. Through some humorous questions and answers, all the elements of Starcom Xiaolingtong were explained in a very comprehensive manner, even including the 15-day no-reason return policy and gifts.

Judging from the value of the interactive sessions, Wu Tao’s sponsorship of the Lantern Festival Gala is well worth the money.

After the interactive session ended, Wu Tao's eyes fell on Cheng Yi, and a smile of victory appeared on his face.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, at the door of a telecommunications store in Yantai City, an old lady carrying a PHS phone and three boxes of Brain Gold stopped the store owner who was about to pull down the shutter door to leave work.

The aunt put a phone box in front of the boss and said, "I want to return it."

The store owner glanced at the old lady and said, "Is there something wrong with this phone?"

"No problem, don't you accept returns without a reason?" the auntie said confidently, "Give me a refund quickly. I used a box of Brain Gold, so you can just give me a refund of 30 yuan."
