Chapter 499 Seizing food from the tiger’s mouth (4k)
The sky is as clear as a blue, and the sun shines beautifully in the clouds, spilling out traces of reddish rays of light and shining on the lush grass.
Gao Yuanyuan lay lazily on her side on the bed, her face flushed and radiant. Sure enough, Deluxe milk was the most nourishing.
Looking at her beautiful figure wrapped in a thin quilt, Lu Fei looked at the muddy sheets again, feeling bored, he got out of bed with his waist, walked slowly to the bathroom, and opened the toilet with a snap.
"Shhhhh..."
Before going to bed, the wind will urinate eight feet, and after tax, the wind will moisten your shoes.
Lu Fei shook helplessly. Gao Yuanyuan, the landowner, was too greedy. With just two months of rent, the rich peasants would be squeezed out and turned into poor peasants.
It's gone, there really isn't a grain of public food left...
When I came to the washbasin and washed my hands, I looked up at myself in the mirror. My hair was messy and my sleepy eyes were surrounded by faint dark circles. I couldn't help but take a breath.
I was hurt by wine and sex, and I turned out to be so haggard?
Damn it, quit drinking from today!
"Wow~"
Gao Yuanyuan opened the stretch door and appeared in front of her wrapped in a quilt, "Looking at it, we haven't taken a walk together for a long time, right?"
It's no longer a hint, it's completely explicit.
Lu Fei noticed the longing in her eyes, and immediately noticed that she had been neglected during this period, "I don't have any plans today, why don't we go for a walk outside after breakfast?"
"There are so many bodyguards following us outside. It's not free at all. Just stay in the yard, just the two of us."
Gao Yuanyuan put a finger on her chin.
Lu Fei nodded and picked up the toothbrush and toothpaste.
Gao Yuanyuan was filled with joy and ran out with bare legs, "I called Sister Lifang and told her that she won't go to the company today!"
After the meal, the two held hands and walked along the main road, turned left, and walked into a long wisteria corridor.
Wisteria is in full bloom, one after another. The petals of each cluster are like purple butterflies spreading their wings, spreading out in circles, and the purple color is rippling like waves.
Purple like morning glow, pure like clouds.
Gao Yuanyuan's eyes sparkled and she glanced at the man secretly. In this situation, shouldn't she do something?
Lu Fei seemed to have a telepathic connection, but deliberately ignored him.
Seeing that he was as silent as a piece of wood, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but get angry and bit her lip. When she was passionately in love, she kept saying "Xiao Tiantian" and couldn't finish her earthy love words. Now that the new person is replaced by the old person, don't say dirty words.
Not even saying "Mrs. Lu".
For a moment, he stood still as if angry and complaining.
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up, like a coquettish little girl. When his resentment level kept rising and was about to explode, he hummed:
"The road we walked was a burst of magic,
Make everything, good and bad, mine.
Even if I don’t remember the pain in my heart,
They all turned into this look and sang into a song."
Gao Yuanyuan turned her head away and tried to ignore her, but one hand passed through her long hair, holding the side of her face, and his voice rang in her ears:
"And you are like the noisy sound of water flowing into poetry,
Knocked on the door of my heart and embraced all the hate,
Nourish the dryness, believe that I can be yours."
Lu Fei turned Gao Yuanyuan's face towards her, and she cooperated obediently, and then kissed her very vigorously.
After a long time, the lips parted.
Gao Yuanyuan curled her eyelashes, blinked her eyes, took a breath and said, "What song did you sing just now?"
""You are written in my song", I suddenly thought of it." Lu Fei is shameless. Can he pick up girls if he is not shameless?
"Where's down there?"
"forget."
"Don't forget! I want this song. You must write it completely and make it a male-female duet!"
Gao Yuanyuan stretched out her hand and pinched the flesh of his waist, and threatened him unwillingly, "If you can't write it, don't be shy with her."
Is there such a good thing?
Lu Fei, who entered the sage mode, had a subconscious thought, but in her tender and angry eyes, he agreed "with humiliation". What was even worse was that he was forced to loop a single during the walk and hum the whole way.
My throat was almost smoking.
nnd, why can’t I control my mouth!
But the effect was extraordinary. Gao Yuanyuan's accumulated resentment was visibly dissipated. She lifted up a strand of her hair and turned back and said, "Well, I remember your birthday is coming soon, right?"
"Have you forgotten? It's not my birthday."
Lu Fei was surprised. In the past, because his family was too poor to celebrate birthdays, over time he became accustomed to not having birthdays. Now that he is rich, but he does not have enough time, it is even less possible to celebrate birthdays.
It’s not like we’re trying to rip off green onions, we’re on the same level as his father!
"Of course I know that although you don't have to have a birthday, you can't have less gifts." Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, "This year I will give you something different."
"It's different, what gift?"
Lu Fei had thoughts that were neither good nor bad.
"Secret, I think you will like it."
Gao Yuanyuan showed a fox-like sly smile.
Lu Fei sighed lightly, he wouldn't be like someone in the Chinese music industry who suddenly said we have a child, right?
………………
After walking around for half an hour, I didn't even finish visiting half of the villa.
There is no way, the house is too big which is also a problem and a waste of shoes!
The two of them changed their shoes, and Gao Yuanyuan went straight to the kitchen, "Let's eat at home for lunch. There are meat and vegetables in the refrigerator. I'll make three dishes and one soup."
"good."
Lu Fei trailed off and sat on the sofa in the living room. He turned on the TV in a rare and comfortable way, but kept staring at the call records on his mobile phone. He found that there were three missed calls, all from the same number, and the caller was someone other than himself.
Unexpected person——
Cao Guowei, CEO of New Wolf.
Ever since Mr. Lu transformed into a "white knight" and joined New Wolf to resolve Shanda's invasion, he has completely delegated power to the management headed by Cao Guowei.
Chao Guowei did not live up to his trust. With the ownership structure clear and no longer turbulent, New Wolf finally unleashed its hidden potential. The stock price not only rose back to a new high of $40, but also remained in the range of $42 to $44.
In just one year, the net profit per share was at least $16.
With this amount, his net worth has increased by about 86 million.
"Mr. Cao, is there something wrong?"
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to bother you."
Cao Guowei's tone was full of apology, "If it wasn't an emergency, I wouldn't have made this call."
Lu Fei was curious: "What's the emergency? It's so difficult that even you can't handle it?"
"Mr. Lu, do you still remember that SMG won the copyright for the Chinese region of the Deutsche World Cup?" Cao Guowei reminded.
Lu Fei took the remote control and turned the TV to mute. He went through it quickly in his mind and slowly thought about it.
This year's World Cup is different from previous years. FIFA released the online digital communication copyright for the first time. In the end, his old friend Li Ruigang's Shanghai Media Group won the only authorization for China
.
Originally, as the first domestic optoelectronic company to obtain an IPTV license, SMG was very powerful and owned four new media businesses including Oriental Broadband, which operates online audio-visual services. It could have been a one-man business, but it was a pity that it did not have this capability.
Because of insufficient technical and operational skills, I didn’t want my butt to be exposed when the opportunity to show my face would come, and considering cost sharing and recovery, I planned to re-license the rights to playback online videos, wireless videos, etc.
Regarding the relationship between Lu Fei and Li Ruigang, as well as the cooperation between Tomato Channel and Hantang, SMG's first thought was itself.
Penguin and New Wolf were able to participate in the negotiations smoothly.
After thinking about the whole situation, he touched his chin: "Did the negotiations not go smoothly and the price of the license was not agreed upon?"
"With such a relationship, the price of the license is indeed not low, and there are also a lot of other additional conditions."
Cao Guowei reported in detail that it was estimated that the New Wolves' total income from the World Cup was between 70 million and 90 million, so he set the budget at 40 million, and the first price was 30 million. As a result, SMG
Open your mouth and ask for 50 million.
Good guy, 70% of it belongs to someone else!
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, "They didn't drop any points there?"
"Reduced, reduced by 4 million."
Cao Guowei was in a dilemma, "But it still exceeds our budget, because when the World Cup starts, New Wolves will open a new channel and set up a studio at the International Broadcasting Center of the German Front. It requires an operations team of 150 people to support it."
The program is broadcast live on a 24-hour rolling video basis, so our psychological bottom line is about 43 million."
"You want me to come forward to discuss it with Mr. Li?"
Lu Fei frowned. Although the World Cup is a huge traffic and business opportunity for Penguin Video and New Wolf Sports, it would be too low for him to go to the pole to find someone just for this.
"No, no, no, Mr. Lu, how can I bother you with such a small matter? Actually, I discovered an unexpected situation during the negotiation."
Chao Guowei saw that the preparations were almost done, and then broke the news that Jiang Fengnian's newly established Xinchuan would intervene in the battle for exclusive portal cooperation rights and compete with his old club New Wolf.
"Jiang Fengnian!"
Lu Fei suddenly recalled that he and Xu Xin used Jiang Fengnian's insider trading to make him voluntarily resign from all positions in New Wolf and get out. He disappeared for almost a year and never expected to reappear in his sight as a competitor.
middle.
"Yes, it's him." Cao Guowei said mysteriously on the phone, "And do you know who he is cooperating with now? Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu!"
"interesting."
Lu Fei was even more surprised. Jiang Fengnian and Zhang Chaoyang, who could be said to be old rivals, actually joined hands to fight against their old club. "Wait a minute, Xinchuan and Xinlang are competing for the exclusive portal cooperation rights. Where is Sohu? What is it fighting for?"
"Sohu is not only competing with us, but also competing with Penguin for online video copyright."
Cao Guowei truthfully reported the report: "I wonder if Penguin has told you the situation?" Zhang Chaoyang and Jiang Fengnian definitely came with bad intentions this time. They directly quoted 48 million for the optical and wireless video copyright, which was 5 million more than we expected.
.”
"Maybe it is deliberately raising the price, or maybe it is inevitable, regardless of the cost. What do you want to do?"
Lu Fei crossed his legs and shook his feet.
"I think if the price is too high, I can give it to Jiang Fengnian, but other people have different opinions. Giving it to Xinchuan is equivalent to giving it to Sohu. If it gets the right to play online videos again, it will almost monopolize the entire World Cup traffic.
.”
Cao Guowei said euphemistically: "There are quite big differences among the management..."
But Lu Fei could hear what was going on. If it was just a member of the management team, he would never come to him. It was obvious that he was alone and would come to him, the chairman of the board of directors, for support.
"Leave it to Xin Chuan."
"Mr. Lu?!"
"After all, Jiang Fengnian also came from New Wolf, but the attitude must be adequate. It is not that New Wolf quits because the price is too high, but it supports him to start a business and exit on his own initiative. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, Mr. Lu..."
Cao Guowei was greatly surprised. His suggestion was actually to bid and then give it to Xinchuan. He never expected that Mr. Lu would simply give up the World Cup rights.
"If you have this money, it would be better to invest it elsewhere."
Lu Fei smacked his lips, as any company involved in the "sky-high price" of football copyrights would not end well.
For example, if Yushi took over the Chinese Super League at a high price, Jia Pao ran away.
Like Suning, its subsidiary PP Sports won the broadcast rights of La Liga and the Premier League, and then the entire Suning capital chain exploded...
It was a literal curse, and he had no interest in getting involved with it.
What's more, the national football team has not even entered the World Cup, let's just watch the ball!
"Mr. Lu, what you said makes sense! Instead of spending more than 40 million on the World Cup, it is better to spend it on video. It just so happens that New Wolf Broadband has merged with podcasts to form a video website. We can take this opportunity to increase investment."
"Very good, I have a similar idea to you. Let's find a time another day. I will invite Ding Sanshi, Li Yanhong, and Chen Tianqiao to come out and talk about the structure of video websites."
…………
At the same time, Sohu headquarters building.
Wang Xiaochuan looked up and saw the figures of Gong Yu and Zhang Chaoyang. He quickly rubbed his eyes in surprise. After seeing them for such a long time, Zhang Chaoyang was willing to get up from the nightclub and thought of coming to work.
By the way, it’s the fifth time since Koo Yongqiang resigned!
Zhang Chaoyang was seen striding into the office wearing a high-profile tie-dyed T-shirt and leather jacket, holding on to his body that was hollowed out by alcohol.
"Mr. Jiang, oh, it's really you! If Gong Yu hadn't told me and I saw you here with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that we could have a day of cooperation."
"Yes, yes, I really can't think of it."
Jiang Fengnian sighed, if he had a choice, no one would choose you, but right now he has no choice. The four major sects, and all three of them are Mr. Lu's positions.
At this thought, he forced a smile and said, "Actually, the first person I met in the Chinese Internet field is you, Mr. Zhang. If my investment had changed slightly at that time, and I had not invested in New Wolf and switched to Sohu, it would be really embarrassing.
Know what the Internet landscape will look like today!”
"I dare not say what will happen, but I can guarantee that Lu Fei will never be as rampant as he is now." Zhang Chaoyang sat down, "But I am very curious, why did Mr. Jiang suddenly leave New Wolf? It was because Lu Fei excluded
?”
"It's hard to put into words."
Jiang Fengnian would not say that Lu Fei had taken advantage of him and talk nonsense in a serious manner, sometimes saying "starting his own business" and sometimes saying "cannot take care of both ends".
Zhang Chaoyang asked: "As a veteran, Mr. Jiang, who do you think is stronger between Souhu and Xinlang?"
"New Wolf's advantages will be difficult to surpass in the short term."
Jiang Fengnian said: "However, it is only temporary. Many game rules are changing. The strong in the Internet may not always be the strong. If Sohu cooperates with Xinchuan to achieve the effect of '1+1 is greater than 2', it will surpass Xinlang."
Just a matter of time."
"Sounds great."
"For the World Cup, I have fully mobilized the company's resources this time and can spend up to 50 million to join forces with Sohu and compete with New Wolf for this wireless video copyright."
"We are not interested in wireless video copyright. What Sohu wants is the online video copyright of the World Cup."
"I heard that Penguin Video is also fighting for this."
"Yes, and I can responsibly say that this idea came from Gu Yongqiang, the former CEO of Sohu."
"predecessor?"
Jiang Fengnian smelled an unusual smell.
Zhang Chaoyang slammed his fist on the table and said in an unhappy tone, "Lu Fei is so unreasonable. I don't know what conditions he offered, but he actually abducted my people to his side, and even put them on Penguin Video, with
Souhu's fight in the ring was definitely intentional!"
"Mr. Jiang, please don't misunderstand what Mr. Zhang means. The reason why Sohu competes with Penguin is not motivated at all, but purely for business considerations."
Gong Yu explained seriously, "The World Cup is just a small test. The next big thing is to compete with Penguin, New Wolf, and Feigou for the exclusive qualification to be the Internet sponsor of the Yanjing Olympic Games. It can be said that the online video copyright is just a preview."
"You still want to compete with Lu Fei for Olympic sponsorship?"
Jiang Fengnian's heart suddenly became hot, and the flames of revenge were smoking.
"Yes, fight, and we must win!"
Zhang Chaoyang clenched his fists and waved in the air. It was obvious that he was bound to win, and his mind was already thinking about how to celebrate after winning Lu Fei——
How about forming a "female star mountaineering team" to go camping with him?
