After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 476 Jiang Yuan and Lin Xiangxiang's Race Track

At the beginning of the month, Qingning Technology announced that its short video platform would be officially named Douyin and would be launched on the last day of the month, while also broadcasting the first Wonderful Night live across the entire network.

Judging from the lineup alone, netizens know that Qingning Technology has gone all out this time.

The entire original team behind Chinese Paladin 3 returned to the stage, including the Evil Sword Immortal.

The thought of Xu Changqing performing a sword dance in front of the white-haired Zi Xuan, and Long Kui jumping into a fire pit, is exciting.

The Happy Twist team, which became a sensation this year, will perform a skit on stage, starring Shen Teng, Ma Li, Yuan Hua, and Qiu Ya. It is said to be a script that was rejected by the Spring Festival Gala. It is even funnier and more exaggerated, and not suitable for high-class performances, but it is perfect for online live streaming.

Various anime characters will also make an appearance, such as all the robots that appeared in Iron Man Hero. Qinglime Technology has even bought the copyright for Ultraman Tiga, so special actors can simply put on the suits and go on stage.

And so on, which immediately heightened the audience's anticipation.

The simplest way to make this kind of magical night a success is to sell nostalgia!

Sure enough, on the Qingning APP, the most frequent comment about Wonderful Night was: "My youth is back."

In addition, there will be a series of popular Douyin dance segments carefully prepared by Liang Can, during which hundreds of internet celebrities will appear one after another.

This is the most important part. After the Wonderful Night event ends, all sorts of imitation short videos will quickly fill the platform's content, making users unable to stop giving it a thumbs up.

The goal is to keep them constantly swiping and consuming all of their fragmented time.

Rehearsal site
Liang Can made a special trip over to take a look.

The venue was set up at the Huanglong Sports Center, with more than 8000 seats. Liang Can felt it was too small. He originally wanted to move the venue to Shanghai and hold it at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, where the space is much larger.

But as the old saying goes, when you ride a bicycle to a bar, you should save money where you can and spend money where you can.

Spending money on stage effects is more valuable than pursuing a large venue.

"Mr. Liang, the invited celebrities will be arriving for rehearsals in the next couple of days." Mu Cheng, the general director of this Wonderful Night, explained in detail beside Liang Can.

Liang Can walked around with his hands in his pockets, stopping to look at whatever he found interesting.

He was followed by twenty or thirty people.

Before he knew it, Liang Can had become someone who needed an attendant whenever he went out.

Looking at Kabuto and Shark Chili on the stage, Liang Can nodded slightly and smiled, "Not bad."

Given the current environment, even Liang Can, who is usually bold and meticulous, has to say: the advantage is in my hands!

Slow Foot has been removed from app stores for rectification, and it's unclear when it will return to the app store.

ByteDance, another company that wants to launch a short video platform, was originally pursuing a steady and pragmatic strategy. The product launch date was originally set for the middle of next year, which is far from being able to keep up with Liang Can's pace.

Zhang Yiming in the office really wanted to say: I always feel like I'm living in Liang Can's shadow.

Damn it, why are we seeing the same ideas everywhere?

Even Zhang Yiming couldn't say that this was because Liang Can poached him, because Zhang Yiming himself hadn't figured out many of the core concepts, let alone communicated them with Zhang Nan.

Liang Can, on the other hand, had already turned the vague concept in his mind into reality.

"How dare he make such a huge decision?"

Even Zhang Yiming was puzzled and asked his deputy, "Based on the information that has been released so far, I have roughly calculated that Liang Can has already invested no less than 500 million yuan. There will definitely be more funds injected in the future. It's like he has staked everything on this."

"What makes him so confident? Is he so certain he can succeed?" Zhang Yiming was completely baffled.

The deputies looked at each other in bewilderment; after all, many entrepreneurs take a gamble and go all in.

But Liang Can doesn't need to take such a reckless gamble. If the Douyin project fails, he could be back to square one.

This is very strange.

“Liang Can is young and impetuous, and he’s been blinded by his successes, which is why he did this,” one of his deputies said. “As the old saying goes, if you want to destroy someone, you first make them crazy. I think Liang Can has gone mad.”

Zhang Yiming glared at his deputy: "But what if Liang Can succeeds?"

The deputy shrank back slightly: "Well then, let's congratulate him."

Screw you, I'm so annoyed.

How did we end up raising such a bunch of useless people?

"Get out of here, all of you!" Zhang Yiming rarely swore.

After the office was cleared out, Zhang Yiming picked up his phone and looked at his trembling female secretary beside him: "Did you get the beta version of Douyin that I asked you to find a way to get?"

"Oh, I got it. The beta version requires an invitation code. I went through a lot of trouble to buy it from an internet celebrity."

The secretary quickly reported, "Mr. Zhang, I'll send you the invitation code right now."

They even use invitation codes, unbelievable.

After downloading the Douyin app from Qingning Technology and entering the invitation code, Zhang Yiming was taken to a very simple interface.

Unlike Kuaishou, where the screen is crammed with various videos and you can click on whichever cover you're interested in.

Qingning Technology's short video platform relies on swiping up and down to watch videos.

In other words, you don't know what the next video will be; it all depends on the platform's recommendations.

What does this look like?
Like when you were a kid watching a movie, you never knew what program would be on the next channel.

"Interesting," Zhang Yiming muttered to himself, then started scrolling.

The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the strategy. Zhang Yiming tried it out, lingering for over ten seconds on a video of a suggestive dance in the beta version, watching it twice. Then, as he scrolled down, the number of videos featuring dancing girls noticeably increased. Seeing this, Zhang Yiming's eyes lingered on those long, white legs on the screen, and he muttered to himself, "Sure enough, Liang Can is also accurately grasping user preferences and creating information cocoons."

"When did he reach this level of technical expertise?"

Although Qingning Technology's financial reports do not need to be publicly disclosed, shareholders have the right to know, and Zhang Yiming has heard some of this through indirect inquiries.

The situation is this: Qingning Technology has a lot of hype, but it hasn't made much money.

Where did the money go?
So that's what it was all about. Zhang Yiming sighed softly as he looked at the young woman on the screen, her skirt fluttering and her hips swaying rhythmically.

Although he was envious, Zhang Yiming knew in his heart that Zhang Nan's job-hopping had little to do with Liang Can's current achievements.

Initially, ByteDance's Douyin was not taken seriously. It was only after six months of operation, seeing its good performance on the charts, that they started investing heavily in it.

This quickly became unstoppable, helping Mr. Zhang become the richest man in the country.

Zhang Yiming knew in his heart that even without Liang Can's interference, even if ByteDance had successfully launched its short video platform, it wouldn't have been able to do so well from the start.

The initial investment is on a completely different level.

To be honest, even short video platforms that are still in the research and development stage suddenly increased their investment because they saw how much Liang Can valued it, and the decision to increase investment was approved in an internal meeting.

But now it seems that even with additional funding, it will be difficult to keep up with Liang Can's pace.

"Alas, if you fall behind one step, you will fall behind every step of the way."

Zhang Yiming put down his phone and sighed softly: "It seems that the only way is to steal users from the slow-moving ones. While they are taking the app down for rectification, we need to speed up the launch and try to catch up with the lagging progress."

Hangzhou, Jiang Yuan's residence
A rare guest has arrived here today.

The languid and flamboyant Lin Xiangxiang arrived as a guest, carrying her newly purchased limited edition LV bag and swaying her hips.

"Is it a gift for me? Thank you." Jiang Yuan reached out to take Lin Xiangxiang's bag.

Lin Xiangxiang quickly hugged the LV bag to her chest: "What do you mean 'gift'? You shameless bastard! I just had a personal shopper bring this back from overseas yesterday, just to show it off to you."

Jiang Yuan sneered: "So you come to someone else's house empty-handed?"

Lin Xiangxiang waved her hand with a laugh: "Don't worry about these details. I'll send you a red envelope to congratulate you on moving to your new home."

After saying that, he plopped down on the sofa and looked up at the house.

"Wow, that's great!" Lin Xiangxiang lazily lay down on her side, her figure graceful and alluring, making people's hearts itch.

Jiang Yuan poured Lin Xiangxiang a glass of lemonade and asked, "What brings you here?"

"I don't know how to use TikTok, can you teach me?"

Lin Xiangxiang took out her phone: "This thing is so complicated, and there are even special editing apps. I only know how to use filters to shoot some beauty videos. Also, why is it in portrait mode? I see that other video portals are all in landscape mode."

Jiang Yuan rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that this young lady was truly ignorant and incompetent.

Lin Xiangxiang may not have any other talents, but she is undeniably beautiful and has broken through the competition purely with her face.

The same thing happened when she joined Rocket Girls; it was because of her really pretty face that, as a challenger, her popularity rivaled that of Jiang Yuan.

Later, a professional agency approached her, wanting to promote Lin Xiangxiang and launch her as an actress, but Lin Xiangxiang refused, saying that being an actress was too hard and lacked freedom.

"Vertical screen is convenient. If you look at your phone in horizontal mode at work, your boss will know immediately that you're slacking off. But with vertical screen, you can have many excuses."

Jiang Yuan said indifferently, "If there's anything you don't know how to use, I'll teach you."

"I don't know anything. I'm thinking, maybe I should just make some videos about my looks."

"You're useless. What will you do when you're old?"

"I'll definitely have enough money for retirement when I'm old."

"."

Jiang Yuan was so exasperated by Lin Xiangxiang's laid-back attitude that she laughed.

But then I thought about it again, no wonder Lin Xiangxiang was able to win Liang Can's heart.

Isn't this exactly the kind of naive beauty that rich people love?

She has no desires or ambitions, and doesn't think about becoming the boss's wife. She lives her life happily and obediently to you. She's innocent and pure off the bed, but a wildcat in bed.

"If you keep being this lazy, Liang Can might kick you out one day," Jiang Yuan sneered.

Lin Xiangxiang tilted her head, sat up, and cupped her face in her hands, looking innocent and naive: "Sister Yuanyuan, would you rather have a simple and beautiful woman like me by Liang Can's side, or would you rather have a scheming and venomous beauty by Liang Can's side?"

good question.

"Then it's still you," Jiang Yuan said coldly. "After all, I already have the femme fatale."

"Isn't this enough?"

Lin Xiangxiang said with a grin, "So hurry up and help me think of which track would be more suitable for me in the future?"

"Why are you asking me? Go ask Liang Can."

"Really? Would you like to come with me?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at Lin Xiangxiang in shock, then quickly walked away from her: "Lin Xiangxiang, you're playing too fancy a game!"
