My capital is quite large.

Early morning, inside a multi-million dollar lakeside luxury apartment in Nanshan District, Shenzhen.

Zhang Xinyu placed the several sets of keys and a black access card on the imported marble countertop in the entryway.

"It's less than a ten-minute drive from here to the boss's Shuixie Mountain Villa."

Zhang Xinyu looked at the slightly flustered Ni Ni and spoke with a hint of admonition:

"The house is owned by the company, and the security system is top-notch. The boss is usually very busy with work, so don't bring outsiders into this house without his permission."

"Women who know the rules can stay with their bosses for a long time, understand?"

Ni Ni nodded obediently: "I understand, Secretary Zhang. I will behave myself."

After settling the newly caged canary, Zhang Xinyu didn't linger.

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom quietly drove back to Shuixie Mountain, not far away, before the morning rush hour.

Li Feng was fast asleep with his eyes closed on the large bed in the master bedroom.

Zhang Xinyu tiptoed into bed, her soft body pressing against Li Feng's back, her red lips breathing softly into his ear:

"Boss, time to get up... I've settled everyone in. There are a few meetings at the company this morning."

Li Feng opened his eyes, casually put his arm around her slender waist and gave it a squeeze, enjoying the warm and soft scent of the morning before lazily getting up to wash.

……

10:00 AM, Haofeng Network Headquarters Building.

Li Feng led Zhang Xinyu straight to the research and development floor where Bilibili was located.

"President Li, you've finally arrived!" Xu Yi, accompanied by several project managers, greeted them with worried expressions.

"How's the beta testing of the live streaming section going?" Li Feng pulled out a swivel chair and sat down in front of several high-spec test computers.

"The situation is very dire, Mr. Li."

Xu Yi clicked on an internal game simulation live stream on the screen. The picture was terrible. Not only was the screen full of mosaics, but if the movements were slightly faster, it would freeze like a PowerPoint presentation.

"Our finance and data teams have done the calculations. Given the current network environment for users in China, providing high-definition live streaming is a bottomless pit! Not only are broadband costs exorbitantly high, but the user experience is also extremely poor. This business line... according to our internal assessment, we see absolutely no hope of profitability in the short term."

Li Feng waved and called over several streaming media technology experts he had poached from Silicon Valley.

"Have image compression and P2P technology reached their limits?" Li Feng asked, staring at the screen.

"Mr. Li, technically we've already reached the top level," the tech expert explained with a wry smile, "but live streaming is real-time streaming, and most home broadband in China is ADSL. Download speeds are passable, but upload speeds are generally only a few tens of KB! The physical bandwidth is only so small; even a god couldn't upload a high-definition video stream!"

Upon hearing this explanation, Li Feng nodded.

As someone who has been reborn, he is well aware of the infrastructure shortcomings in 2009.

This is not the fault of the technical team, but rather a limitation of the times.

"Since it's an infrastructure issue, let's not get hung up on graphics quality; prioritize smoothness."

Li Feng looked around at the somewhat dejected Bilibili startup team: "I'll provide you with the technical support for the live streaming line! I won't ask you to hand over a single penny of profit within three years!"

"However, the business must be rolled out fully! What I want is to cultivate a habit among young netizens of 'watching live streams on Bilibili'!"

Hearing the boss's bold promise to not seek profit for three years, Xu Yi and the group of tech geeks were deeply moved and filled with enthusiasm: "We understand, Mr. Li! We will definitely protect your business!"

After reassuring the livestream team, Li Feng changed the subject: "How's the ecosystem for anime copyrights and content creators (UPs) going?"

Mentioning this, Xu Yi's eyes lit up: "It's a huge hit, Mr. Li! As soon as we released those official, high-definition Japanese anime for free, the entire anime and manga community across the country went crazy! The website's daily active users are increasing exponentially! The UP (content creator) incentive program has also attracted tens of thousands of creators to join, with parody videos and game commentary flourishing, and interactive bullet comments breaking records every day!"

"Very good." A smile appeared on Li Feng's lips.

"Now that we've already amassed such a massive online following, let's drive them offline!"

"Let's organize a large-scale offline exhibition, named 【Bilibili Macro Link】&The First Haofeng Anime Carnival!"

"Rent Shenzhen's largest convention center and invite all the top content creators and cosplayers from across the country! Don't worry about the cost; we're going to make this anime convention a carnival for young people! We're going to turn Shenzhen into a pilgrimage site for anime fans nationwide!"

For an internet company, organizing a comic convention doesn't cost much, but the long-term brand loyalty and belief generated from it are priceless.

Just as Xu Yi was excitedly taking notes, Li Feng suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Xinyu.

"Go and inform Lao Han from the film and television department."

"For this first-ever comic convention, Haofeng Films has to step in and support us."

"Make sure Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Ni Ni clear their schedules!"

"Go change me into a cosplay outfit! I'm going to the anime convention to stand on the stage!"

Zhang Xinyu was stunned. A high-profile, popular female celebrity going to a comic convention to do cosplay?!

This is absolutely unprecedented in the Chinese entertainment industry! If this gets out, it will definitely cause another massive trending topic explosion!

"Understood, boss! I'll arrange it right away!"

......

After explaining Bilibili's plans, Li Feng took Zhang Xinyu back to the president's office.

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Xinyu made Li Feng a cup of hot tea. Then she took out a public relations and public opinion report that she had just compiled from her briefcase, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Boss, there's something I need to ask you about."

"In the past two days, several news portals on Tencent's platform and some of their entertainment influencers have started spreading negative news about our company on a large scale online."

"They're saying you monopolize resources and exploit artists, and there are even several tabloid articles spreading rumors about your chaotic private life and harassing female subordinates... the rumors are quite detailed. Do you think the PR department should take action and ban these related terms?"

The penguin got angry.

Haofeng's Weibo not only usurped their social media influence, but now he's also making waves on Bilibili. Tencent is clearly getting restless and has started using underhanded tactics in the public sphere.

Li Feng scoffed dismissively: "A complete ban? Wouldn't that be telling the whole internet that Haofeng Weibo is a 'one-man show' where only nice things are allowed? Too much control will only cause netizens to resent it."

"Notify the public relations department to use some sophisticated methods to control online comments. Have someone regularly post some harmless dirt on our own artists on our Weibo account, giving netizens the illusion that the platform treats everyone equally and that everyone can have their own gossip."

"Fans will naturally get involved in defending their idols, engaging in online arguments and creating buzz, which also generates daily active users."

Zhang Xinyu nodded repeatedly. The boss's move was a strategic retreat that not only cleared the platform of suspicion of bias but also allowed him to gain some traffic.

"but!"

Li Feng's tone suddenly turned cold: "We must not be lenient with those influential figures and Tencent mouthpieces who dare to fabricate rumors out of thin air, maliciously stir up trouble, and spread rumors about me!"

"Are the people in the Ministry of Justice just sitting around doing nothing?"

"Immediately send lawyer's letters to those marketing accounts that are spreading false information and the influential figures behind them! Sue them in court! Defamation and reputation-related lawsuits are almost always successful if the evidence is gathered promptly!"

"Let's make an example of a few of the most vocal and influential influencers! Sue them until they're bankrupt and forced to issue a public apology!"

Zhang Xinyu's expression hardened: "Yes! I'll notify the legal director immediately!"

"There's more," Li Feng called out to her.

"The current legal department is too small and does not match the future size of our company."

"Tell HR to expand the legal department indefinitely! Go and poach the top litigation lawyers, intellectual property lawyers, and retired judges in the country with high salaries!"

"We need our own Nanshan Pizza Hut!"

In its past life, this formidable team from Nanshan, which dominated the internet world, belonged to Tencent.

In this life, Li Feng wants to take off this crown ahead of time and place it on Haofeng Network's head!

"It's not just about going to court."

"Let this expanded legal team organize all the resources at our disposal!"

"Go ahead and register all the touchscreen drag-and-drop and multi-touch interaction logic we used when developing 'Angry Birds' and 'Fruit Ninja' as global patents!"

"Lei Jun is about to start developing smartphones. Tell him that for all future phone designs and UI interactions that can be patented, even something as simple as a rounded rectangle icon, build a patent wall for them all!"

"And those adaptation rights for Japanese anime, and the copyrights for derivative products of popular online novels! Lock them all up with the strictest legal provisions!"
