Looking at Bao Bufan's unruly back, tears instantly blurred Tom Zhu's eyes, and all the anxiety and worry these days were released in these words.
Chen Cun was also very emotional. They didn't expect that Bang Ye, who was famous in Shanghai Beach, was the person who understood them best.
"Check up Peng Bo." Tom Zhu worked for an advertising company, Lianmei Advertising Company. Later, this company was sold by Tom Zhu to Omnicom Group, one of the four largest advertising groups in the world, for US$12.4 million.
Customer surveys are no stranger to Tom Zhu.
However, when the two returned to the company, they discovered to their embarrassment that they had no channels to check, and there were no professionals in this field in the company. And the company's existing employees were all editors in this utopian world.
Within the family, everything is loose.
They had no choice but to search on Baidu. Baidu, which was just established last year, although the information was not complete at this time, they also roughly found some information about Peng Bo.
Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pengbo TV, President of Pengbo Media, President of Time Warner Greater China... Unicorn List, Top 50 List of 50 Years, Chinese Economic Person of the Year, Top 500 Chinese Enterprises List...
Zhu Tom secretly lamented that this is a business tycoon who holds domestic media resources with one hand and connects foreign media kingdoms with the other. I am afraid that in the current Chinese media industry, there is no second person like this. "Mr. Zhu, last year they acquired
Liancong," Chen Cun said, "I can contact the founder of Liancong."
"I'll make the call myself." Zhu Tom always has some connections, but when he contacted several founders of Liancong, their answers were much more commercial. This was not a private contact, everything was based on the headquarters' caliber.
Zhu Tom did not get any useful information from it, but Bao Yueqiao told the truth, "Mr. Peng is a generous person."
"I heard that he likes to read Three Kingdoms very much." As a writer, Chen Cun also confirmed Peng Bo's character through his own circle and pondered the temper of this Bang Ye whom he had never met.
"We need to meet him." Zhu Tom finally made up his mind to go and meet Peng Bo for a while, because the current situation of the company is just like Bao Bufan said, it is here, but it is using US dollars and selling advertising by itself.
Company dollars.
When "Under the Banyan Tree" was founded in 1997, it was still the barbaric era of China's Internet. At that time, Ma Feng was still running around promoting his own Chinese Yellow Pages; Ma Huateng was still someone else's wage earner, saving money to buy servers.
Compared with these two future tycoons, Tom Zhu seemed to have a lot of money at that time. After selling an advertising company, his personal assets once exceeded 10 million US dollars.
…
Sports car, driving fast.
The red Mercedes-Benz sports car started from Jianjing Building and headed west, passing by the Xingui Building Group and the Chenghuang Temple with its eaves and brackets.
Cigarettes curled up from the Chenghuang Temple and finally dispersed into the mirage-like sky.
However, at this time, Chen no longer felt dizzy.
Jin Mao Tower, the sun shone down from above. Chen Cun looked up at the world's third tallest building. At this moment, he felt dizzy. He had been here before, but he had never felt such a strong feeling.
The elevator was very fast and stable. Tom Zhu stood in the elevator without saying a word.
When the elevator door opened, the front desk immediately announced. He looked at the company. Everything looked like new, but everything looked in order. Oh, he even heard Daiyu, Baochai, Zilong, Sha
Such titles as monk, oh, and Xiaoyaozi, Lei Zhenzi...
The Four Great Classics, Mr. Jin Yong's novels, and "The Legend of the Gods" were all here and there. At this moment, he felt a little confused.
"Welcome, welcome." He was feeling the atmosphere of the company when a young man ran out from the middle of tying his tie, "Welcome, welcome, Tom and Brother Cun are here, we can accomplish great things."
Chen Cun looked at the enthusiastic hands and was quite moved, but Zhu Tom looked on coldly.
Peng Bo was also looking at Tom Zhu and felt that his facial features were a bit Westernized, a bit like Fei Xiang in his youth.
However, this person is the earliest pioneer of online literature!
Until many years later, everyone still remembers that on Millennium Night, 100,000 was spent to book the chairman's suite on the 86th floor of Jin Mao Tower under the banyan tree to hold the annual meeting.
Fireworks jumped up from the Huanghu River bank, exploded like a dream, and then fell into the thick darkness.
At this moment, Peng Bo hoped that the fireworks would rise forever and never fall again.
From "Under the Banyan Tree" to "The Later Website", Internet literature has been getting further and further away from the literary dream over the years. It is gradually getting closer to business. The only thing that remains unchanged is that it can bring some reading pleasure to readers in front of the screen. This
That's what Peng Bo wants to do now.
In Peng Bo's office, the four of them, including Bao Bufan, sat down.
"I heard the coffee here is delicious," Chen Cun deliberately created a relaxed atmosphere, but he was attracted by the inscriptions on the wall.
"Then come here often," Peng Bo said meaningfully, "Luo Yan, bring some of our coffee to the two bosses."
"Six States Getou, Mr. Jin Yong personally inscribed it?" Chen Cun was a little excited.
Peng Bo smiled and said nothing. In a sense, it was a status symbol to get Mr. Jin Yong's inscription.
Business negotiations usually start with family matters.
A few people were drinking coffee and chatting in the vast sky. It wasn't just nonsense, there was a deep meaning behind every seemingly nonsense sentence.
"I heard that Mr. Zhu was born in the United States. He was from a famous family in Shanghai three generations earlier. His ancestor was Zhu Xi, a great scholar from the Song Dynasty."
When talking about the glory of his ancestors, Zhu Tom does not shy away from saying that he owns the first open-top Mercedes-Benz sports car in Shanghai and the third Ferrari 458 in Shanghai.
But he knew that underneath these words was Peng Bo's concern for him under the banyan tree. I'm afraid he had been paying attention to him for more than a day or two. Looking at him and listening to his words just now, he was determined to win.
Peng Bo also felt his strong personality. He looked at Bao Bufan and Bao Bufan nodded. He said everything without saying anything. To negotiate, he must first get rid of his arrogance before everything can be discussed.
Chen Cun said with a smile, "Mr. Peng's words, pioneers always have to pay a price, deeply resonates with me. Under the banyan tree, we are the pioneers of literature in the Internet age."
Peng Bo laughed and said, "This is just the first half of the sentence, but there is actually the second half."
"You tell me." Tom Zhu raised his hand.
"Forerunners always have to pay a price, but sometimes if you go too fast, the pioneers will become martyrs." Peng Bo spoke slowly, but his tone was full of pressure.
"Under the Banyan Tree" once had the sign of "China's No. 1 Literary Website". This literary website is known as "influencing a generation". It is also the first website in China to launch blogs, much earlier than Sina. This is also his
Another reason to look under the banyan tree.
"Let's talk." Zhu Tom looked at Chen Cun and said, "Okay." Peng Bo also knew that it was time to get to the point and fight hand-to-hand.
