Wei Ziliang returned to the wine table and cursed: "These girls are so shady now."
Fatty Xu: “The price has increased again?”
Wei Ziliang: "Well, it's thirty thousand."
Yu Jiasi: "It's so dark!"
Fatty Xu: "It's set with diamonds, right?"
Wei Ziliang took a dull sip of champagne: "I'm bleeding heavily today. It's getting late. Let's play for a while and then withdraw."
"Haha, then we won't be polite."
Fatty Xu drank all the foreign wine in the glass and left with the girl.
Yu Jiasi also smiled and had a drink with Wei Ziliang: "Brother Wei, I'll withdraw first, you are so open today!"
"Get out of here now, I'm getting upset just looking at you."
Wei Ziliang laughed and cursed, and then watched Yu Jiaci and his sister retreat.
"Master Chen, are you not in a hurry?"
Wei Ziliang was a little surprised when he saw that Chen Dongcheng was not in a hurry to leave.
The most beautiful girl is right next to you tonight, how can you still hold it?
"Why are you so anxious? Is it possible that you have never seen a woman before?"
Wei Ziliang laughed and said, "That's right. Those two guys are probably afraid that I'll drink too much and no one will pay for it."
The girl next to them was sent to sing, while Chen Dongcheng and Wei Ziliang drank wine and chatted casually.
Wei Ziliang also talked about Gu Canyang's situation.
"If Canyang's father goes further, it will be of great benefit to us."
Wei Ziliang and other locals can definitely reap greater benefits by relying on Gu Canyang's second generation.
"If we don't involve him, it would be better to expose the relationship between us and him less."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I understand this."
Wei Ziliang drank a lot of wine and was a little drunk: "Okay, I'll leave first. I'll pay the bill. Mr. Chen, don't fight with me."
"No one will compete with you."
Chen Dongcheng also stood up and planned to withdraw.
"boss!"
Seeing that Chen Dongcheng was really leaving, Dai Yufei shouted quickly.
"Is something wrong?"
"Mr. Wei has already given me the money."
Dai Yufei was a little ashamed, but she was also afraid of being reckoned with by her queen.
Taking Wei Ziliang's money and not doing anything is playing with fire.
"Then you come with me."
Chen Dongcheng took Dai Yufei out of the King of K Songs, and Pang Zhengyang was waiting at the door in a Mercedes-Benz G.
In the Magic City at the end of February, it was only 70 or 8 degrees Celsius at night.
Dai Yufei, who was wearing a white backless dress, shivered from the cold.
"Get in the car."
The Mercedes-Benz G was driving slowly, mainly because Pang Zhengyang was not sure where Chen Dongcheng was going, so he couldn't go back to No. 5 World Trade Center.
"Where do you live?"
Chen Dongcheng's tone was calm.
"In Kangping Community."
Dai Yufei originally thought that Chen Dongcheng would take her to the hotel.
When I heard that Chen Dongcheng was sending me home, I was happy and a little disappointed at the same time.
"I won't tell your manager, just go back and rest in peace."
Chen Dongcheng didn't bother to ask Dai Yufei why she got into this industry.
He is not a holy mother. He cannot greet a girl and take care of everything.
"thank you."
After Dai Yufei thanked her sincerely, she found that Chen Dongcheng had no intention of chatting with her.
He just sat in the car and didn't dare to talk anymore.
Pang Zhengyang followed the navigation and found Kangping Community.
This is a quite old community, with a history of more than 20 years.
"Go straight ahead and turn right and it's the first one."
Dai Yufei didn't realize she was home until the car stopped.
"Let's go, I'll take you up."
Chen Dongcheng is not a good man, but he is not so cold as to let Dai Yufei go upstairs by herself.
"It's best not to live in this kind of community. It's very dangerous for girls like you who work night shifts."
Chen Dongcheng looked at the densely packed small advertisements posted inside the building.
The stairs are so old that they seem to be disconnected at any time, and many places are so dark that someone would be scared to death if they appeared.
"I just moved here and I don't have the money to rent a good house."
Dai Yufei whispered and silently followed Chen Dongcheng upstairs.
303.
"Mr. Chen, would you like to come in and have a glass of water?"
Dai Yufei opened the door and turned sideways to ask.
"No, you go to bed early."
Chen Dongcheng shook his head and refused. In this environment, Chen Dongcheng couldn't arouse any interest.
The interior environment revealed by opening the door definitely matches anyone's impression of an old house.
Dai Yufei took out her mobile phone: "Mr. Chen, I want to return the money to you."
"Why?"
Chen Dongcheng murmured in his heart, this girl is not thinking of fishing for big fish in the long run, right?
"No reason, I just don't want to live a humble life. Thank you for saving me today."
Dai Yufei added Chen Dongcheng's WeChat account, and the limit was 20,000 yuan when she transferred it to Chen Dongcheng.
"I'll transfer the remaining ten thousand to you tomorrow. I'm really not that kind of girl."
"Well, I understand."
Chen Dongcheng nodded, turned around and went downstairs.
Dai Yufei held her cell phone, looked at Chen Dongcheng's back as he went downstairs, and closed the door after a while.
"Yufei, where's the money you earned?"
There was a drunk man in the house who was drunk and looked at Dai Yufei with drunken eyes.
"I don't want to go."
Dai Yufei is a little afraid of drunks.
"Don't want to go?"
The drunk man stood up unsteadily and sneered: "Don't forget that your mother relies on me to take care of her. If you don't make money, are you going to watch your mother die?"
"I, I can find another job."
"Okay, you go find me a job that pays 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month, or you just make money for me."
The drunk man's eyes turned greedily on Dai Yufei, but in the end he still maintained a trace of reason.
He is a standard lazy man. If it weren't for the girl he found by his wife, he would have starved to death long ago.
"Okay, go to bed quickly and go to work tomorrow. I will take care of your mother for you."
The drunk man returned to his bedroom, and soon the sound of the TV came from inside.
Dai Yufei silently walked back to her bedroom, locked the door, and looked at the small room.
Sitting on the squeaky hard bed, hugging my legs, I cried softly.
"Stop crying, Grandma Te, if I hadn't raised you two, you would have starved to death!"
The drunken voice coming from the bedroom opposite made Dai Yufei shrink back.
I didn't dare to speak loudly and just looked at the screen on my phone silently.
Apart from a very simple transfer record, there was no reply from Chen Dongcheng.
"Maybe he thinks I'm too dirty..."
Dai Yufei couldn't help but think about it, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down from her eyes.
…
The next morning, Chen Dongcheng went for a morning jog in the community as usual.
When I got home, I brought breakfast to the two lazy cats and took a shower to wake them up.
"I want to sleep for a while."
Zhang Lu acted coquettishly and kissed her sweetly.
"It stinks."
"Disgusting, I don't have bad breath."
Zhang Lu and Zheng Danni went to wash up, while Chen Dongcheng sat on a chair, eating breakfast and looking at his phone.
"interesting."
Chen Dongcheng looked at the extra transfer record on his phone, and Dai Yufei transferred another ten thousand to Chen Dongcheng.
But it was just a slight surprise to Chen Dongcheng, so he didn't take it seriously.
After breakfast at home, Chen Dongcheng went to the Global Center.
The 61st floor has now been renovated, and Little Blue Book employees have also moved in.
The area of more than 3,000 square meters was quite large, so Chen Dongcheng divided a piece of it for other uses.
"Hello, Director Chen."
Employees greeted him respectfully along the way, and the front desk took Chen Dongcheng to the general manager's office.
"Dong dong dong."
"Please come in."
Zeng Yiming looked up and saw Chen Dongcheng. He stood up in surprise and said, "Director Chen."
"It's okay, come here and take a look."
Chen Dongcheng was sitting on the sofa in the office, and a secretary immediately came over to help pour tea.
"Director Chen, I am worried that our company has too many people and does not have a suitable office space. This surprise you gave me is too great."
Zeng Yiming never expected that Chen Dongcheng would purchase a first-floor office building in the Global Center.
"Let's talk about the company first."
Chen Dongcheng waved his hand to interrupt Zeng Yiming's gratitude.
"Currently, the number of registered users of Xiaolanshu reaches 530,000. In accordance with your requirements, we will severely crack down on purchasing agents and false content.
At present, the community has accumulated more than 100,000 real notes, and Little Blue Book’s reputation is at the forefront of the industry in all major app stores.”
Zeng Yiming's introduction was relatively detailed, but one point caught Chen Dongcheng's attention.
"You said you have supported a large number of talented people?"
Zeng Yiming was a little confused about Chen Dongcheng's thoughts, but he answered honestly: "At this stage, we still rely heavily on the content produced by experts. In my opinion, experts can play a key role in the development of our community.
It can even determine the survival of Little Blue Book, so in terms of operational strategy, we have put a lot of effort into Daren."
Chen Dongcheng signaled Zeng Yiming to continue, and he suddenly had some ideas.
"The operational methods we adopt mainly include signing contracts with a small number of talents, supporting talents, and we will create stars in the community, etc."
Zeng Yiming was a little nervous after he finished speaking. He had just said so much without being singled out by Chen Dongcheng.
This was the only one that Chen Dongcheng asked about. It was obvious that Chen Dongcheng had something in mind.
"Apart from us, is Xiaohongshu the same?"
Zeng Yiming nodded: "Yes, Xiaohongshu is even more fierce than us, they received a sum of Zhenfund funds in advance.
The specific amount is unknown, and the initiative is now in the master's hands."
"That's it..."
Chen Dongcheng directly ordered: "Immediately stop supporting the master and strengthen the review. I want to give Xiaohongshu a big gift."
"Oh well."
Zeng Yiming did not dare to disobey Chen Dongcheng's orders, he was just a wage earner.
The company's equity is firmly in the hands of Chen Dongcheng.
Chen Dongcheng didn't want Zeng Yiming to feel that he was too domineering, so he explained: "There is no problem in the early stage if you do this, but have you ever thought about what will happen if someone steals the picture?"
"Stealing pictures?"
Zeng Yiming was suddenly frightened. Thinking about the consequences, he shuddered all over.
"User reputation will fall off a cliff, and all the advantages we accumulated in the early stage will be lost."
"So, you can understand the purpose of what I did."
Zeng Yiming looked at Chen Dongcheng gratefully: "Dr. Chen, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would really be to blame."
Reputation is definitely the most important thing for a software that is just starting out.
Once word of mouth is gone and user stickiness drops sharply, what else can you use to attract investors?
"Fortunately, it's still early. You should hold a meeting immediately and explain this matter clearly without any delay."
After Chen Dongcheng finished his instructions, he asked again: "Are there any wavering experts?"
"It's true. There is one named Melody. I heard from the employees that she was not satisfied with signing the contract with us and wanted us to give her more money."
Chen Dongcheng was delighted. He remembered that this eldest sister was the culprit for Xiaohongshu's original reputation plummeting.
Unexpectedly, he was so tenacious and appeared in Little Blue Book.
If I hadn't asked this question myself, I guess this professional photo pirate would have given Xiao Lan Shu a hard time.
"Tell her that we don't need her. Try to be as harsh as possible and let her harm Xiaohongshu."
Chen Dongcheng's tone was a bit naughty: "Send someone to keep a close eye on her, and notify me as soon as she goes to Xiaohongshu."
It would be strange if Xiaohongshu didn't fall into a big trap this time.
Zeng Yiming quickly held a meeting and emphasized that he would stop supporting the master.
Experts who have started to strictly check for stolen pictures will have their accounts immediately blocked once they are discovered.
All the management were a little puzzled, but looking at Chen Dongcheng who remained silent, no one dared to question the decision of these two men.
The decision made by Little Blue Book has left many experts confused. Why did they stop supporting it?
They also point to the fans of Little Blue Book to make money.
No matter how I called and asked, the response from Xiaolanshu was that the company had decided internally to stop supporting the experts.
Many experts angrily scolded Xiaolanshu for doing nothing but killing the donkey.
In the early stage, I relied on them to accumulate a large number of users, but in the blink of an eye I treated them like this.
In fact, it is not a complete ban, it is just a ban on those experts who have made a lot of money by stealing pictures and hiring fake notes to be written by ghostwriters.
If the user is really simply sharing notes, Xiaolanshu will also encourage them and give them corresponding recommendations and exposure.
It is destined that this purge will only affect the interests of a small number of people.
As the place cleared at Little Blue Book, a group of ‘precious’ experts were welcomed at Little Red Book.
Mao Wenchao didn't understand why Little Blue Book did this.
Although he knew that there might be something wrong inside, Mao Wenchao really couldn't guess it.
Qu Ting and Mao Wenchao looked at each other, both feeling a little happy.
In the past, Xiaolanshu relied on these experts to attract users. They saw it in their eyes and were greedy in their hearts.
Even if they spent money to dig up a group of people, the core ones were always tightly held by Zeng Yiming, and their treatment was no worse than that of Xiaohongshu.
Except for some top bloggers who are really good, Xiaolanshu has lost at least nearly 70%.
Although Mao Wenchao felt a little sad about the cost of poaching people, he couldn't help but think about the wonderful prospect of Xiaohongshu catching up with the opponent.
"Ating, the funds in the account are still sufficient."
Mao Wenchao looked at the many experts who came to the company to sign contracts and was a little worried about the financial problem.
"Mr. Xu gave us two million US dollars in round A. To attract this group of experts, we need to use half of it."
"Fortunately, it's within our acceptable range."
Whenever Mao Wenchao thinks about the price of getting the ZhenFund, he feels a twinge of pain.
ZhenFund only gave them a valuation of US$6 million before investment, based on the situation of Little Blue Book, but took away 25% of their shares.
Their number of users, viscosity, and reputation are not as good as those of Little Blue Book, so it is natural that their valuation is low.
Little Blue Book's actions to clean up internal experts were not hidden from the outside world, and it also caused many people to discuss it.
Mao Wenchao initially thought that Little Blue Book's reputation would plummet, but unexpectedly found that Little Blue Book had more positive reviews in major app stores.
