Chapter 526: The Robbers Robbed It, so Couldn’t Brother Zhi Take Advantage of It?
Although Waguang does not have laying business in North America, Li Youzhi still knows something about TKTK.
As one of the victims of the U.S.’s massive trial restrictions on China in recent years, TKTK is undoubtedly a very representative company. For a period of time, it was in the news every day and it was hard not to know.
This is why when netizens suggested that when Heguang Culture went overseas, Li Youzhi acquired a streaming media platform in the Asia-Pacific region instead of deploying in North America, which is more favored by capital, as the first step for Heguang Audiovisual.
Are you kidding?
North America is in a state of confusion right now. With the rise of Chinese technology companies in recent years, their profitability has begun to emerge internationally. They are just like butchers.
Doing business in that shitty place, especially business related to scientific and technological information, is really what I said;
The Bull Demon King has to plow the fields, Sun Wukong has to perform tightrope walking, and Ultraman has to use a wheelchair!
So Li Youzhi felt a little baffled that TKTK contacted him for cooperation at this time - he asked Brother Zhi to join Guo Jun in 1949, so that's right!
Looking at the video call interface, the beauty with long, straight black hair who often appeared at the US government's "TKTK hearings" some time ago, Li Youzhi grinned;
"Hello, Miss Wen. Thank you for your and Mr. Yang's congratulations. As for your cooperation with TKTK, I would like to ask...how did your company find me?"
I don’t know why Li Youzhi asked this question. Wen Ting on the other side of the video pondered for a moment and then smiled;
"I don't know the specific situation. I was just following orders. Four days ago, Mr. Yang called me and told me to contact you as soon as possible after you completed the challenge. As for why Mr. Yang made such a decision, I also Not sure.
But I don’t think this is anything unusual. After all, Xiaozhi, you have nearly 100 million fans on the domestic Douishou platform. With your outstanding works and two high-box-office reputations such as "The Wandering Earth" and "Nezha", you have gained a lot of popularity in the country. Internal entertainment also has strong appeal.
Although we at TKTK are rooted in North America, we have always welcomed outstanding creators and content exporters. And you have been very popular on the Internet recently, so I think... the cooperation itself will be a good opportunity for you personally and our TKTK platform. "
Li Youzhi smacked his mouth after listening to Wen Ting's professionally eloquent reply.
He is also no stranger to Wen Ting.
Although this woman speaks Chinese fluently, she is not Chinese, but a Singaporean Chinese.
The reason why North America’s TKTK hired such a beautiful woman from Pa County to be its CEO was actually because the United States had made things difficult before, saying that TKTK, as a Chinese company operating in the United States, was suspected of undermining public opinion, and ordered its senior management to give up their positions to American employees.
TKTK took advantage of this and found a carrot like Wen Ting for the CEO position of the company.
Unlike other companies whose CEOs are either from finance, management, or simply have technical backgrounds. Wen Ting was an executive at a law firm before becoming TKTK CEO. After taking office, she basically went to various hearings to help TKTK fight with the US government.
Seeing that this girl was unwilling to disclose any useful information, let alone the price of the cooperation, Li Youzhi didn't bother to make any detours here.
Pulling up the pillow on the hospital bed and leaning on it comfortably, Li Youzhi smiled at the other end of the video;
"Ms. Wen, what we are saying is that cooperation is possible, but any cooperation is based on interests. I have heard about your TKTK situation. Now you are living a very difficult life in North America. I am not It’s said that the poor love the rich, but since we are cooperating, you TKTK must not be here for me personally, right? Let me just tell you directly, how do you want to cooperate with Heguang Audiovisual, and what do you need us to do, for which you are willing to give What’s the price?”
Beep!
Received [Wen Ting]’s additional [Irritability] stunning value, 44 points!
As Li Youzhi's ear heard the system's amazing value entry prompt, Wen Ting on the other side of the video frowned.
He secretly said that he was a difficult guy to deal with.
In fact, she felt baffled by Yang Chenghao's decision.
The current situation of TKTK is extremely bad. By amending the Enterprise Acquisition Act, the US government has issued a resolution to forcefully acquire TKTK.
Only one year was given, euphemistically called the transition period, for TKTK to prepare for the handover.
In other words, in less than twelve months, TKTK will be completely acquired by a company designated by the US government. After the announcement of this resolution, the United States has begun to suppress TKTK’s stock price through stock operations.
At this juncture, as the company's CEO, Wen Ting feels that the most important thing to do is not to operate the platform, but to use legal means to continue to mediate with the United States to find a turning point.
But there is no way,
She herself is not interested in cooperating with Li Youzhi and Heguang Culture, but the three warnings and instructions when Yang Chenghao called her a few days ago are still fresh in her ears.
The boss's instructions must be carried out.
After a moment of silence, looking at Li Youzhi who looked lazy and confident in the video, Wen Ting simply put away her courtesy;
"It can be seen that Mr. Li is a pragmatic person, so I won't tell you anything. To be honest, Mr. Yang did not put forward any specific requirements on the form of cooperation before asking me to contact you, but after calling you this Before the phone call, I made a cooperation draft. Considering that you are in a hospital environment, it may not be convenient for you to come out and talk in person, so I will briefly talk to you in the video.”
"The first thing is about the overseas platform of Heguang Audiovisual. We have noticed that the short drama business of your platform has become a featured section and judging from the public information, the traffic and profit effects are pretty good. So what I think is that Heguang Audiovisual can use the official account In the form of joining our TKTK, we can put the short dramas and film and television content on your platform into TKTK. We can provide corresponding promotion resources to help Heguang Audio and Video quickly accumulate users on the TKTK platform and find a profit model that is suitable for the North American market.”
"As for you personally, I have the same idea. I understand that you are shaking your hands in China and relying on persuasion to accumulate a large number of users. This style and track have not yet been done in North America. Come out, so I also welcome you to join TKTK as an individual and create the same brilliant achievements as Dooshou in China. Of course, if you can come, we will do our best to provide corresponding promotion resources and policy support. What do you think? ?”
How about it?
Li Youzhi was almost amused when he heard the cooperation model and conditions given by Wen Ting.
Not really!
profound,
Let Brother Zhi take Waguang Audio and Video to your TKTK to create an account and then output the content. You have given Brother Zhi certain drainage resources and helped Brother Zhi explore profit models...
To put it nicely, this is called support, but to put it unfavorably, it is called free prostitution!
Co-author Zhi Ge traveled thousands of miles to North America to create an account from scratch to attract traffic to your TKTK?
Don't tell me that you, TKTK, are now in such a precarious situation due to sanctions imposed by the US. Even if you were brilliant back then, Brother Zhi couldn't do it under these conditions!
A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit.
Go and ask around. From the ugly to the male idol, in this three-acre area in China, apart from the Chengdu Police Department and several local agencies from your parents' home, who has ever prostituted Brother Zhi?
It’s all Brother Zhi’s prostitution for free, okay?
"Now, Miss Wen, if you talk like this, then our cooperation will not work. Look, the current situation of your TKTK is here. If I remember correctly, the United States has passed the forced acquisition bill. You There are still up to twelve months before the compulsory acceptance process begins. I don’t think you know who TKTK belongs to at that time, do you?
I am now following your plan and taking Waguang Audio and Video there. If I build up the traffic within a year, but I still haven’t found a profit model by then, won’t I be waiting to be buried with you? You can guarantee that your traffic will be tilted towards me, but what about the new owner who takes over your business? I will definitely have to put a lot of energy into this process, and Heguang Audiovisual will also have to make a lot of investment. If something goes wrong by then, wouldn't my whole year be in vain? "
Wen Ting was a little angry for a moment when Li Youzhi unceremoniously pointed out the flaws in the plan.
But before she could argue, Li Youzhi stretched out a finger and continued;
"So Miss Wen, I'm actually doing pretty well in China now, and Heguang Audiovisual is developing pretty well step by step, although the current total number of users and monthly active users are still less than one-tenth of TKTK's size. , but at least you don’t have to worry about being cut by someone and the roots will be pulled out.
If you want to cooperate, I hope you TKTK will show full sincerity. Why don't you listen to my plan, and then go back and report it to your President Yang. If you think it's okay, we'll do it. If you think it's not possible, then let's all be well. "
Wen Ting has seen gangsters. In the past two years, she has been working with old gangsters in the US government.
Therefore, although she was angry about Li Youzhi's obvious attempt to occupy the commanding heights of negotiations by belittling himself, she did not lose her mind.
He just took a deep breath and said coldly, "Tell me."
Seeing that Wen Ting didn't interrupt him, Li Youzhi secretly said to himself, "Be patient," he sat up cross-legged from the hospital bed, and said;
"It's better than this. Your domestic Douishou wanted to increase the user's online time to increase the user's stickiness to the APP, so it integrated the long video section. In this area, Douishou adopted a direct method of attracting traffic, including Xigua Video Directly connect with Douishou and share user data directly.
That is to say, users of the Doushou app can become members of Xigua without registration, and then watch Xigua’s long video content. Since we are going to cooperate, can the user portals of TKTK users and Heguang Audiovisual be completely opened? Let TKTK click to log in directly without registration and become a member of Heguang Audio-Visual. I think this method is very convenient and has mutual benefit for both of us..."
"This is impossible! Mr. Li, this is impossible!"
After patiently listening to Li Youzhi's plans, Wen Ting lost her good temper. Seeing this, Wen Ting lost her temper.
Before Li Youzhi could finish his "imagination", he interrupted sharply.
What's going on with the plan Li Youzhi mentioned?
User data sharing and docking between the two platforms!
What does this look like?
To give an example that may be inappropriate; in order to enhance the customer experience and allow customers to use the props they want at the first time, the foot washing city cooperates with the adult products store downstairs. The two parties share VIP customer membership information in the background. Customers in the Foot Washing City can swipe the VIP card of the Foot Washing City when purchasing in adult products stores...
Although TKTK is currently suffering from the United States, its business and user base are here;
In North America, TKTK has 170 million users!
This can no longer be said to be just a content output platform, but has become a new and fashionable lifestyle for the young generation in the United States.
It is precisely because of this huge number of users that TKTK has aroused the fear of the United States!
So here comes the question - how many users does Waguang Audiovisual have?
Even the self-imprisonment challenge that Li Youzhi just carried out has caused a strong growth in the number of users of the overseas version of Heguang. The current number of registered users on the platform is only 20 million - there are still some domestic entertainment people here. Moisture.
Given the huge size difference, if they really cooperate like Li Youzhi said, TKTK cannot be said to be losing blood, it can only be said to be losing blood!
You know, how did TKTK get its 170 million users?
That's all real money, which is accumulated by an average of 2.4 US dollars per new user!
For a social platform, the most important thing is not technology or algorithms. These things are only useful in the early stages of platform establishment.
Those who can really build a social platform and maintain its competitiveness are these users who can continue to output content and generate consumption!
"Mr. Li, let alone Mr. Yang, I can't handle the situation you're talking about! The reason why Domestic Doushou and Xigua Video can adopt such an approach is because they are basically two products within the group. Originally, they are two products within the group. There is a lot of overlap in user data, and even technical teams can be merged.
If Heguang Audio-Visual obtains TKTK’s user information, what is the difference between it and us directly giving the company’s core business to you? Let me put it bluntly, with these user information of TKTK, you can theoretically replace TKTK at any time. Do you think we, TKTK, are doing charity? "
Tsk,
Li Youzhi smacked his lips when Wen Ting on the other side of the video scolded him harshly.
You see...either say don't let women take care of things.
More than a hundred years ago, the old lady in Cixi would rather be a foreigner than a domestic slave.
When I arrived at your place, Miss Wen... the same scene happened again, right?
Your fucking TKTK is definitely going to be forcibly acquired. By then, won’t your user information be handed over to the new owner?
If you don’t hand over one by then, give it a try! Can you understand the eighteen-chambered back of a shark?
What kind of robber can rob, but I, Li Youzhi, can't take advantage of me? What kind of truth is this? !
Is there still king's law? Is there still law?
Being glared at by Wen Ting across the screen, Li Youzhi, who had already been labeled "fighting the autumn wind" all over his body, shrugged his shoulders.
"Then Miss Wen, I think there is no need for us to continue talking. Later, you can tell Mr. Yang that I, Li Youzhi, have little talent and limited knowledge, and that He Guang's sight and hearing are useless. Let's all be well and bless each other."
Beep!
Received Wen Ting’s additional [Anger] stunning value, 55 points!
"Mr. Li, I will definitely relay the conversation between you and me today to Mr. Yang truthfully. I also wish you a bright future and make your dreams come true soon!"
Snapped!
The video ended with a blessing from gritted teeth and a loud bang of the phone being dropped.
Sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed in the VIP observation room, Li Youzhi shrugged his shoulders.
The little girl is pretty cool.
What's the use of horizontal? Wasn't he being suppressed and beaten by the old Americans?
Just like Xiaozhi, I have the same urine quality.
Cut it, woman!
They are all used to it!
With this in mind, Li Youzhi turned on his phone and opened Tu Susu's WeChat.
"Su Su, your position as deputy manager will cease from now on. Hand over the business at hand to Brother Meng, and then come to the hospital. The doctor said that I need to observe and recuperate these days, and there must be someone by my side who can take orders."
"Why?!"
As soon as Li Youzhi's voice message was sent, text with a series of exclamation points and question marks popped up on the chat interface.
Looking at the reply that seemed to contain resentment in every punctuation mark, Li Youzhi did not answer. Instead, he silently opened the photo album and sent one of the specially collected contract photos to Tu Susu.
[I, Tu Susu, defrauded Mr. Li Youzhi of milk tea and takeout by using my false name... I voluntarily compensated for my labor force and will serve as Li Youzhi's first assistant for the next three years. The scope of my work includes but is not limited to cleaning the room, serving tea and pouring water...]
Satisfied, Li Youzhi read the contract, which was almost a contract of sale, over and over again, and laughed.
…
On the other side, the shaking hands group.
In the large and bright top-floor office, looking at Yang Chenghao sitting behind the desk, part-time employee Wen Ting was furious.
"Mr. Yang, I don't understand! Why are you actively seeking cooperation with this guy? You heard it, this guy is just talking like a lion! Who does he think he is?"
Looking at Wen Ting, who was furious and obviously angry, Yang Chenghao removed his wrist from his chin and smiled.
"Wendy, this guy's appetite is indeed a bit big, but I think he is at least very smart. Although your parents are Chinese, you have received Western education since childhood and have never lived in China. You don't understand Chinese culture and Chinese thinking patterns."
Getting up from the sofa with a smile, Yang Chenghao personally poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Wen Ting.
After Wen Ting sorted out her emotions and took the coffee, he sat on the sofa opposite and waved.
"I didn't know much about this person before. I only knew that this person had some talent and acted in an extreme way. But a few days ago, I watched his live broadcast during the self-imprisonment challenge, which made me think that this person is very wise. According to the theory he said in the live broadcast, everything has a specific law. When one thing develops to an extreme, it will inevitably develop to another extreme.
Do you think it is possible that he just learned about our intention to cooperate and deliberately offered such a high price to raise your psychological threshold. Then in the next contact, he created a considerable space for easing concessions for himself?"
Hearing Yang Chenghao say this, Wen Ting stopped holding the coffee cup.
"You mean, he was playing a psychological game with me just now? Was he using Chinese negotiation skills to trick me?"
"Maybe,"
Yang Chenghao smiled and shook his head:
"China is different from the United States and the West. The thinking mode of the United States and the West determines that they will use various means to seize what they want, even if such means are dishonorable, they will achieve their goals at all costs.
But the Chinese care more about being justified, that is, they will use some very obscure methods, gentler but smarter ways to achieve their goals. After the goal is achieved, it must be considered reasonable by the world. Otherwise, it will be against the world and will be backfired.
So in the process of negotiation, you will find many interesting details. For example, when you go to the vegetable market and see those old people negotiating prices with vegetable vendors, they will follow this rule. Those smart old people will not say that your things are too expensive, I can't afford it, you must give me a discount. They will say that your vegetables are not fresh, or other stalls are cheaper than yours... It's the same truth."
Listening to Yang Chenghao's unhurried description of Chinese thinking, Wen Ting's eyes were a little complicated.
"Mr. Yang, what have you been through recently? I think... you seem to be much more relaxed than when you were in the United States some time ago."
"Ha,"
Patting his thigh vigorously, Yang Chenghao stood up from the sofa happily.
"It's this Li Youzhi. In the past year or so, I was anxious because of the problems of North American business. But after returning to China this time, I accidentally read what he said, and I think this world may really have a law that is invisible and intangible but exists in fact. Anyway, TKTK's situation has reached its extreme. According to the theory of balance in the Book of Changes, it will at least not get worse, so no matter what we do next, it is likely to develop in a good direction, right?"
Seeing Yang Chenghao tidying up his suit and looking like he was going out, Wen Ting put down the coffee in her hand.
"Mr. Yang, are you going out? Regarding the hearing I applied to the US Congress this time, I have something else to add to you separately..."
Faced with Wen Ting's report, Yang Chenghao waved his hand.
"These are meaningless, Wendy. From the moment the US acquisition resolution was passed, they left me a buffer period of twelve or fifteen months, which will not have any impact on the result of TKTK's acquisition.
Just like a cancer patient, whether he survives for one year or one and a half years, it will only affect how long he will suffer, and it cannot solve the problem from the root. So I think we still have to start from other places and find ways to recover the losses as much as possible."
"What are you doing?"
"Let's go, let's meet this Li Youzhi. He said that any development and change follows the law of extremes, change is the norm, and immutability does not exist. Perhaps he, the person who said this, is the change we need."
Waving to Wen Ting again, Yang Chenghao strode out of the office.
...
Lying on the soft and comfortable bed, admiring the arc drawn by the nurse girl squatting to measure his blood pressure, eating the apple core cut by Tu Susu with gritted teeth...
Li Youzhi suddenly felt that he was living a very comfortable life!
While the nurse got up to push the cardiac motor and Tu Susu was venting her anger on the dragon fruit with a fruit knife, Li Youzhi quietly walked into the bathroom and opened his system panel.
[User: Li Youzhi]
[Appearance: 101 (Upgrading, upgrading BUFF blessing, can continue to invest in stunning value)]
[Temperament: 104 (Upgrading...)]
[Voice: 92 (Upgrade completed)]
[Stunning value: 72033391 points! ]
Looking at the amazing value balance accumulated over the past few days, Li Youzhi did not hesitate.
Directly extracted 60 million points and invested them all in the appearance attribute!
Buzz!
With a barely detectable sound, countless light spots that only Li Youzhi could feel escaped from his body and gathered madly towards his face.
Feeling his already handsome face covered by a warmth again, some details were being carefully carved bit by bit, Li Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he focused his attention on the system prop column.
A shiny S-level reward treasure chest was quietly lying there waiting for his favor!
Although it was not the first time that Li Youzhi opened the S-level treasure chest, it was the same as never getting bored with a beautiful woman in his arms. Every time a high-level treasure chest gave out a heaven-defying reward, Li Youzhi could secrete the nervousness of skipping school to go to the Internet cafe in junior high school before opening it.
A little bit of adrenaline brought out a ton of excitement and anticipation!
Silently wiping his face with a hospital towel, Li Youzhi rubbed his hands, then cast his eyes on the treasure chest and chose to open it with his mind!
Beep!
[Prompt: S-level reward treasure chest is opening...]
[Congratulations to the user, you have obtained the legendary skill [Peak Acting Enhancement Card] X1, Description: Permanently upgrade the protagonist's current acting skills to a high level! PS: Young man... Now even if you play a dog, you are eligible to win an Oscar,]
What the hell?
Li Youzhi has been dealing with the system for a long time, and he has a comprehensive understanding of the system's nature.
Take the treasure chests of various levels for example. Generally speaking, if the system description is full of nonsense, it is not necessarily a good thing.
But the description is very concise and the fewer words, the more domineering it is!
This wave of peak acting improvement cards is obviously a model of the fewer words, the bigger the matter!
What skills do I have related to acting at present?
[High-level camera sense] [Intermediate form image affinity] [Intermediate body imitation] [Intermediate expression control] [High-level eye expression] and... [Intermediate line expression]!
Among the six related skills, four are intermediate.
With this wave of improvement, I will have no shortcomings as an actor!
Without hesitation, looking at the golden improvement card floating in front of me, Li Youzhi directly chose to use it!
Dongdongdong,
Just when Li Youzhi was excited by the progress bar readings of several intermediate skills in his attribute panel, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Hello, Li Youzhi, Xiaozhi, is he in this ward?"
"You are too late, he is dead!"
What the hell?
Hearing the polite inquiry from the outsider and Tu Susu's angry reply, Li Youzhi quickly pulled up his pants, opened the toilet door and rushed out.
You little girl, while Brother Zhi was going to the toilet, you just wiped out the book of life and death, right?
