I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

"Your own video website?"

Gu Yifan's sudden idea caught Li Mingliang and his senior brother off guard.

Even Xinling, who was serving tea and water, couldn't help but prick up her ears.

Yifan has another idea? That's impressive.
"Yes."

Gu Yifan nodded, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his fleeting thoughts becoming increasingly clear.

"Why don't we just design our own video website?"

Li Mingliang and Du Jun exchanged a glance, both feeling that their boss's thinking was a bit too far-fetched.

Is setting up a video website really that easy?

Putting aside the costs, just attracting users is a problem, and video websites always have content, right?

Where does the content come from? Do we have to buy copyrights and compete with other major websites?

Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.

They are a film and comic production company; making comics and animation is their main business.

After all this trouble, is it really all for a dish of vinegar and a plate of dumplings?
So they create a website just to exclusively stream their own anime?
Li Mingliang's first reaction was that it was unreliable.

But knowing how to reject the boss's unreliable ideas without being too blunt and upsetting the boss is also a kind of linguistic art.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Mingliang asked cautiously.

"Mr. Gu, could you please explain in detail why you have this idea?"

The eldest brother simply remained silent. Since Li Mingliang was asking questions, he frankly admitted that he didn't think much of it either.

Instead of running a website, go into real estate!

The real estate market is not just hot, it's incredibly hot!

With housing prices soaring, speculators flocked to Shanghai to spend lavishly, sweeping up all the prime properties available.

Locals in Shanghai all swear.

Du Jun does have some business acumen, as he has invested most of his salary in real estate.

This is basically a consensus: nothing beats real estate.
Seeing that the two clearly did not understand his meaning, Gu Yifan summarized his thoughts and explained.

"The video website I'm talking about isn't the kind like Yangyu.com or Qieqie.com, but a website that specializes in anime series and related content, and features interactive bullet comments."

"A website dedicated to animation?" Li Mingliang was dumbfounded.

She never even imagined that such video websites existed; wasn't she limiting her own development?

"Hmm." Gu Yifan opened his laptop without saying a word and began searching.

As expected, there wasn't one!

Forget Bilibili, it doesn't even have AcFun.

There isn't a single real-time bullet screen website in the entire country that primarily focuses on anime and manga culture.

Having reached this conclusion, Gu Yifan had already made up his mind.

Must do it!
Despite the fact that a certain website's stock price is constantly falling, its user growth is hitting a bottleneck, and it is being utterly defeated by short videos, it is still a problem.

However, this did not diminish its past popularity, with its market value once reaching tens of billions of US dollars. The anime and manga community is ultimately a small circle, and its success has exceeded many people's expectations.

For Gu Yifan, creating a video website focused on anime and manga with bullet comments is not only suitable for Feifan Animation's future development path, but also a good way to test the waters for short videos in the future.

Even if the future prospects are not very good, they can be packaged and sold directly, a sure-fire way to make a profit.

"Boss, I still don't quite understand." Li Mingliang looked at Gu Yifan's darting eyes, completely bewildered.

She simply can't keep up with her boss's train of thought.

Is it because she's getting old and her thinking has become slower?
Seeing that Li Mingliang was having some doubts about life, Gu Yifan knew that it was impossible to get the two of them to follow his train of thought with just a few words.

He then patiently began to explain.

"Anime-themed video websites with bullet comments are different from other video websites that only play anime."

The prevailing trend is still to believe that the more users one attracts, the better.

The ocean embraces all rivers.

But Gu Yifan, who came from the future, knew that the key was to accurately target the user group.

If we don't do it now, someone else will do it later.

Li Mingliang was still somewhat puzzled. Although Gu Yifan's words seemed to have a promising future, it had not been put into practice. Who knew if the market would accept such a website?

If things go wrong, the investment could be lost.

Du Jun, on the other hand, after listening to Gu Yifan's story...

I raised my hand without hesitation.

"I think your idea is great, boss."

"Eh?"

Ignoring the surprised look from Li Mingliang, Du Jun continued, "I think the idea of ​​creating a video website targeting anime and manga fans is very feasible."

"Besides, the boss has the best taste I've ever seen in all my years, and I completely agree with him!"

Hearing this, Gu Yifan turned to look at Xinling.

"Xinling, what do you think?"

“I think your idea is great, brother. Erxi often watches anime and follows series, and she even complains about not being able to find the resources.”

"If there were a website specifically for watching anime series, Erxi would definitely be very happy."

Cyndi Wang expressed her opinion with a smile.

At this point, Mingliang became restless.

Well, this Du Jun is something else!

He's usually so quiet, but now he's pulled this stunt on her.

He certainly harbors wolfish ambitions.

Li Mingliang gritted his teeth inwardly.

If Du Jun so decisively supports Gu Yifan's decision, wouldn't that make it seem like she doesn't support her boss?

This is practically roasting her over a fire.

Besides
Du Jun's words were not without merit.

Having spent a long time by Gu Yifan's side, Li Mingliang was also shocked by the terrifying business acumen of this young man who was six years younger than him.

The difference between people can sometimes be greater than the difference between a person and a pig.

Li Mingliang discovered that this young boss was not only a genius but also a creative genius with a unique vision.

Besides Extraordinary Film and Comics, Gu Yifan also owns a game company.

The Three Kingdoms Kill game they created, along with Werewolf, which became an instant hit upon its release, have become popular throughout China.

Like its predecessor, that game company was also on the verge of bankruptcy.

Ultimately, this young man could bring them back to life with his miraculous healing skills.

Its current profits have long surpassed those of Extraordinary Film & Comics.

It's important to know that Gu Yifan's profits don't just come from the web version of Three Kingdoms Kill; the real money comes from offline card sales. Although pirated versions are still rampant, the sales of genuine Three Kingdoms Kill cards remain staggering.

Coupled with the limited-edition, rare cards in the deluxe and VIP versions, it has sparked the collecting obsession of many young people.

In just six months, the combined net profit from these two items reached over 20 million yuan.

As long as the game is properly maintained, it will be a continuous source of wealth.

In addition, there is Ele.me (饿了吧) company.

Although it's Lin Wanyu's company, Gu Yifan is the real person in charge behind the scenes, which is not news to Eleba and the neighboring Feifan Film and Animation Company.

Just by looking at the streets and alleys, you can see that delivery guys wearing blue jackets are gradually appearing, and you know that Ele.me has already developed a blue ocean market in Shanghai.

To be honest, Li Mingliang was somewhat numb.

The boss is a genius. Besides being struck by the fact that people are inherently different, I also feel nervous.

After all, if the boss is so capable, then if your employees can't keep up with the boss's pace and can't complete the boss's tasks, they will definitely be marginalized or even fired.

In Li Mingliang's heart, he had already developed a bit of blind admiration for this boss who was several years younger than him.

Now that he thinks creating a two-dimensional (anime/manga) video website with bullet comments can be a hit...
Will his judgment be as accurate this time as it has been before?

"Mr. Li? Mingliang!"

Gu Yifan's voice came from afar.
Coming to his senses, Li Mingliang jolted awake and quickly shouted, "I also support your decision, boss!"

Gu Yifan: "Huh?"

Seeing Gu Yifan's surprised gaze, Li Mingliang, who subconsciously stood up, was so embarrassed that he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

But there's no turning back now.

Li Mingliang took a deep breath. "Boss, I think your idea is excellent. If it succeeds, in the future we might not be the ones going to others to cooperate, but the ones coming to us."

Gu Yifan didn't understand. Just now, Mingliang seemed a little unwilling, so why did he suddenly change his mind?

"Mingliang, you're not being sarcastic, are you?"

Gu Yifan asked, puzzled.

"Of course not, I will always support your decision," Li Mingliang said with an embarrassed smile.

I don't understand. I really don't understand.

Gu Yifan was unaware that Li Mingliang had always worried that she would be replaced by Du Jun or someone else in the company.

"Alright then, I'll go back and write a detailed plan. Mingliang, you'll be in charge of setting up a new online operations department. Get the website up and running first. It'll be a bit of a hassle for you to manage it temporarily."

"Our positioning is to be the most comprehensive anime and manga website for the anime and manga fandom!"

Hearing that Gu Yifan had asked him to handle this matter, Li Mingliang was pleasantly surprised and immediately agreed, "Yes, Mr. Gu."

"You've worked hard. I'll treat you to a meal later," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

"It's not hard work," Li Mingliang said after a slight delay.

Honestly, the boss himself is such a genius.

And her appearance is so perfect.
Although Li Mingliang had given up the idea of ​​seducing the boss, some wild thoughts kept popping into his mind.

Gu Yifan then turned to look at his senior brother, "Senior brother, I might need to trouble you again in a while."

Du Jun, who had been completely silent until now, immediately agreed upon hearing Gu Yifan's suggestion.

"no problem."

Gu Yifan chuckled, "I haven't even said what I want you to be responsible for yet."

Du Jun smiled slightly, "Since it's an anime series website, we can't avoid Japanese anime, right?"

Gu Yifan nodded. "As expected of the senior brother."

There are many reasons for Abi's failure, but the turning point came when a large number of anime series were taken down.

Starting with piracy but failing to transition to legitimate products means it's destined to fail in the long run.

Gu Yifan will naturally learn from this lesson.

This matter isn't urgent, and it can't be resolved in a short time. Gu Yifan plans to get the website up and running first, and then make adjustments gradually.

"As for Xinling, you'll have to handle the finances." Gu Yifan said, turning to Xinling last.

Xinling hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

"Do not worry!"

Gu Yifan spent the entire afternoon in a meeting with Li Mingliang and Du Jun to discuss this matter, while Xinling listened in and took notes.

Before long, the sky over Shanghai was shrouded in fiery clouds dyed red by the setting sun.

Nuolan left work on time and walked out of the TV station.

All afternoon, that little bastard hasn't sent her a single message.

This made Nuolan, who was already in a bad mood, even angrier.

Of course, getting angry is not excessive.

"If you don't come to pick me up, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Fortunately, as soon as she left the TV station, Nuolan saw the car parked on the side of the road, and Gu Yifan waiting by the car.

I felt a little better now.

Hmph, at least he knew to come pick her up.

"What's wrong? Are you still angry?"

Gu Yifan handed the egg tarts he had bought to Nuolan, but Nuolan seemed to ignore them and walked right past him to get into the car.

It seems she's still angry.

Gu Yifan scratched his head and asked while standing by the car window.

"Freshly baked, have a taste, it's very good, desserts are the best way to heal the soul~"

The egg tart in Gu Yifan's hand emitted a sweet aroma. Nuolan was indeed a little hungry, since she hadn't eaten properly at noon and hadn't eaten since.

But seeing Gu Yifan still grinning, Nuolan was furious.

"Get in the car quickly!"

"Oh"

Gu Yifan shrugged and handed the egg tart box to Nuolan. When she refused to take it, he simply shoved it into her hand before turning to the driver's seat.

The egg tarts smelled sinful.

This made Nuolan even hungrier.
It's all that little rascal's fault. He told her she wouldn't eat it, but he still forced it on her. Now he's probably just waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

If we eat it now, it'll be like turning the page.

Nuolan gritted her teeth and persevered.

The vehicle starts.

Gu Yifan remained silent. He knew that Nuolan would soon be unable to hold back and tell him the reason for her anger.

In this respect, Nuolan is quite good; at least she doesn't act like some girlfriends who get angry and give each other the silent treatment for days.

as predicted.

Nolan couldn't help but snort.

Her beautiful eyes stared at Gu Yifan with a hint of reproach and grievance.

Say something!

Gu Yifan couldn't bear to see Nuolan looking so wronged, so he said, "I've already taught Su Weiwei a lesson. As punishment, let's go out for a big meal later, without her, how about that?"

Nolan's eyes lit up; this was a good idea.

When that scoundrel fox finds out about this, it will definitely throw a tantrum, whimpering and complaining about its grievances.

However, Nuolan quickly realized that Su Weiwei was definitely avoiding her now, and even if she were invited to eat together, she probably wouldn't come.

As it turns out, Nolan's guess was correct.

When Gu Yifan was leaving get off work, he asked Su Weiwei to come with him, but Su Weiwei said no, she was going shopping with Xinling and told him to pick up Nuolan by himself.

After saying that, the cunning fox dragged the bewildered Xinling away.

"Humph!"

Nuolan let out another heavy snort.

Gu Yifan blinked. What, it's not because of this?

Why is Nuolan angry?
"Good sister, I admit I was wrong, but at least tell me what I did wrong." Gu Yifan thought for a long time but still couldn't understand where Nuolan's anger came from.

"Why didn't you send me a single message this afternoon!" Nuolan finally said, feeling wronged.

Gu Yifan was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized what was going on.

So that's why.
Yes, it was his oversight.

"Sorry, I've been in a meeting all afternoon."

If you're wrong, you have to admit it. Gu Yifan doesn't have the habit of being stubborn. He admits his mistakes when he should, and it's no big deal.

"A meeting? What kind of meeting takes so long?" Nuolan actually thought that Gu Yifan wouldn't ignore her, but did he really not have time to send a single message all afternoon?
"Yes, I'm planning to expand into new businesses at Extraordinary Films, so I've been bringing this up."

Gu Yifan said apologetically.

After hearing this, Nuolan was still a little unhappy, but at least she wasn't angry anymore.

"Then you have to treat me to a big meal later to make up for it, and you also have to go shopping with me!"

"No problem, let's go. Let Su Weiwei stay alone in her room tonight, okay?"

"Pah, you little rascals! I haven't even said I forgive you for what happened this morning!" (End of Chapter)
