Seeing that the weekend had arrived, in the blink of an eye Zhou Dongsheng had already spent several days in this rural village far away from the world of mortals, living a happy life that he did not want to miss.
Every day I was either watching videos shot by Li Jiajia, or fishing with Li Jiafeng, wandering up mountains and down rivers, experiencing a lot of rural fun that I had never experienced before, and even my skin tone felt a few degrees tanner.
After a few days, Zhou Dongsheng, a strange face, also made a strong presence in this small village. Everyone knew that Li Jiajia had a big boss as his guest.
Although it is a small village far away from the world, it has not derailed from the world based on the country's strong infrastructure capabilities.
There is no shortage of basic power network cables and the like, which means that the 4G signal is not covered yet, but it is only a matter of time.
After getting along with each other these days, Zhou Dongsheng and Li Jiajia have become quite familiar with each other. They feel less like a boss and an employee and more like friends.
"Boss, come for dinner, I've made your favorite bamboo shoot stewed chicken!" Li Jiajia's voice came from outside.
When Zhou Dongsheng heard that it was chicken stewed with bamboo shoots, he couldn't help but move his index finger. Perhaps he knew that Zhou Dongsheng was from eastern Guangdong and had the habit of drinking soup, so the careful Li Jiajia specially prepared this dish.
The fresh and fragrant bamboo shoots, coupled with the umami flavor burst out from the home-raised freshly killed free-range chicken after being simmered in the pot for a long time, fully satisfied Zhou Dongsheng's taste buds, which are not picky.
Zhou Dongsheng was also full of praise for this, and Li Jiajia naturally took it to heart. Unexpectedly, it was arranged again just two days later.
"I made it in a different way this time, let's taste it and see if there is any difference." Li Jiajia handed over the spoon with anticipation.
Li Jiajia initially felt that a big boss like Zhou Dongsheng, who had tasted delicacies from all over the world, might not be used to home-cooked dishes, so Li Jiajia also spent a lot of thought on this.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dongsheng's taste was not as "tricky" as she imagined. Not only did he have a good appetite, he was not picky about food at all, which was completely different from what she thought.
"Then I have to taste it to find out." Zhou Dongsheng took the spoon with great interest, took a sip, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"It tastes great!" Zhou Dongsheng gave a simple and unpretentious answer. Although there was no fancy rhetoric, Li Jiajia was still smiling.
Although life these days is still as usual, the addition of one person has brought different expectations and happiness to Li Jiajia.
Although she was still used to being alone, Zhou Dongsheng's presence gave her a hazy feeling: It seemed that living like this was not bad.
Even Zhou Dongsheng enjoys this ordinary little life, otherwise it would be said that Wenrou Township is the Tomb of Heroes.
However, before he has experienced the grandeur of the world, it is naturally impossible for Zhou Dongsheng to choose to retire to the mountains and forests so quickly.
Only the mediocrity after experiencing prosperity is real. You must first possess it before you can be qualified to say it is not important. Zhou Dongsheng understands this truth deeply.
After all, the same sentence "I don't love money" means one thing when said by ordinary people, but it means another when said by the richest man.
"Boss, do you want to watch "Little Forest" again tonight? The style of this movie is so interesting and it touched me a lot." Li Jiajia said with high spirits.
"Video creation is not something you do behind closed doors. In addition to this type of movies, food documentaries like "The Tip of the Tongue" are also directions you can learn from."
"Absorb the essence, and then slowly integrate it into your own video system. When you have your own system and a distinctive style, you will naturally attract a fixed fan audience."
"I see that you consume a lot of consumables to make videos. You can do it with confidence and boldness. I have the backing. Since I regard you as my trump card, I will not be stingy with the initial investment, and I always believe in this investment.
You will never lose money.”
While Zhou Dongsheng drank the soup leisurely, he conveyed his confidence to Li Jiajia. These days, he not only drank the chicken soup made by Li Jiajia.
Zhou Dongsheng also reciprocated the favor and poured a lot of chicken soup for Li Jiajia's soul. Anyway, he was idle.
Li Jiajia smiled particularly happily. At the age of twenty-five, she had long been accustomed to living in isolation and working independently. For the first time, she felt the fulfillment of having a solid backing behind her.
This feeling is completely different from the feeling of family members. It is precisely because they are not relatives that makes people feel more precious and precious, so they cherish them more.
"Don't worry, boss, I will do my best to make every video." Li Jiajia said happily.
"I have a hunch that this video of restoring the Four Treasures of the Study using ancient methods may become one of your masterpieces. It will be worth spending no matter how much time you spend." Zhou Dongsheng encouraged with a smile.
At this time, the cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting Li Jiajia who was about to speak. Zhou Dongsheng took out his cell phone and signaled.
When he saw the caller ID, it was Dong Chengjie, the boss of Huya Platform. Zhou Dongsheng immediately understood that he was probably here for Liu's matter.
"Hey, what brought Mr. Dong here?" Zhou Dongsheng answered the phone and called him haha.
"Of course I'm here to give money to Mr. Zhou. Isn't Liu's contract with our platform about to expire? You see that our cooperation is quite pleasant, why not just continue to renew it?"
"It's okay to follow your company's annual signing rule. The price is negotiable and directly benchmarks against the highest standards in the industry."
Dong Chengjie had talked to Zhou Dongsheng once or twice about Liu's contract before, but Zhou Dongsheng was vague and perfunctory.
At that time, Liu's contract had not yet expired, so Dong Chengjie was naturally not in a hurry, but regarded it as a means for Zhou Dongsheng to raise prices.
After all, in the current live streaming industry, top game anchors have rare things to buy, and it is normal to start at a low price.
But now, the contract is about to expire. As the current Huya's first brother, Liu, and even Dong Chengjie, as the platform boss, have to personally intervene.
After all, the contracts of current anchors of Liu's level can easily reach hundreds of millions, and there is no room for Dong Chengjie not to be interested.
Even though the listed company behind it injected 700 million yuan in cash flow into the Huya platform, supporting such a large live broadcast platform costs money all the time in terms of bandwidth and operations, and it is also very taxing for the person at the helm.
In order to cope with the intensifying competition in the live broadcast industry, Dong Chengjie is already preparing to contact capital institutions to seek diversified cooperation possibilities for the Huya platform.
Even if there is temporary support from the parent company, Dong Chengjie has to be prepared for danger in times of peace. After all, the largest competitor Shark Platform has already received investment from Tenda Capital.
There is also a Panda platform backed by Yida Group that is about to go online. Just a listed parent company is really a bit weak.
"I understand what Mr. Dong means. As the number one live broadcast platform in the industry, Huya Platform can maintain a good cooperative relationship with your company and it is also very important for an anchor management company like us."
"But in business, as a businessman, you must put profits first, and someone has already made a high price for Liu's contract that I can't refuse."
Listening to what Zhou Dongsheng told him, even Dong Chengjie couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Is Principal Wang crazy? Such a high price is simply disrupting the market order and turning the live broadcast industry into chaos."
Zhou Dongsheng shrugged, "Maybe this is Principal Wang's purpose?"
Dong Chengjie was silent, and then said helplessly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for giving me the truth. I will not make a choice like Shark Platform. It's easy to get together and break up. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"The Huya platform always welcomes Little People Media. I hope that Little People Media can cultivate a second Liu on the Huya platform. I believe that by then, I will be able to give Mr. Zhou a high price that he cannot refuse."
Perhaps this is the magnanimity of being the best in the industry? Dong Chengjie’s majestic style also made Zhou Dongsheng in awe.
"Thank you, Mr. Dong, for your understanding. With a leader like Mr. Dong, it will be difficult for Huya Platform to succeed," Zhou Dongsheng said with emotion.
Sure enough, it is the shadow of a person's famous tree, and the boss will always be the boss.
