In London these days, Chen Dongcheng noticed that there were more paparazzi squatting around him.
Chen Dongcheng was not surprised that his home address was leaked.
As long as a reporter is interested and follows the convoy all the way, he can find it.
No matter how the outside world squats and takes photos, it has nothing to do with Chen Dongcheng.
Run in the morning on time every day, exercise, and increase your step count.
After persisting for a month, Chen Dongcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't let money be a small thing.
With the step doubling card, I have accumulated 1.2 million steps in one month.
Then use the currency replacement card to replace RMB with British Pounds.
60 million pounds were accounted for, a comfortable amount.
After briefly explaining to Marotta and the others, Chen Dongcheng chartered a Gulfstream G550 aircraft and flew directly back to China from London.
Thinking about two big things owned by rich people, private jets and superyachts, Chen Dongcheng didn't even have time to arrange them.
However, there is really no need to prepare these two things now.
Compared to Lewis who was dying, Chen Dongcheng enjoyed these days much more.
"Mr. Chen, the bed has been made for you. You can go to the sofa to rest for a while. I will prepare lunch for you in two hours."
The flight attendant on the private jet had a gentle smile and an even more pleasant tone.
Chen Dongcheng thanked him with a smile and walked to the sofa in the back.
The sofa, which can seat four people, folds flat and turns into a small single bed.
Being able to have a good sleep at an altitude of 10,000 meters is no more demanding.
As for the price...
The charter flight fee is 80,000 per hour, which is within his acceptable range.
For many people, the time they need to travel is estimated to be no more than 100 hours a year.
Buying a private jet is totally worth the loss.
The cost of a private jet is not small, including purchasing routes, insurance, expenses for crew members, docking fees...
The miscellaneous expenses added up will definitely amount to several million in a year.
After the flight became stable, the flight attendant came over and gently woke Chen Dongcheng up.
The tone was very gentle, and many people who had never seen the world would probably salute on the spot.
"Mr. Chen, high altitude will affect appetite. Please understand this."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded: "I understand."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The graceful steps of the stewardess leaving, wearing a uniform, and being at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters really make it easy for people to have wild thoughts.
However, in front of a group of subordinates, Chen Dongcheng was not so unsure.
The plane has its own chef, so the taste is affected by the environment, so it's quite acceptable.
Flying from London to Shanghai takes a total of 13 hours, and the charter flight cost alone reaches 1.04 million.
The plane stopped, the door opened, and the crew lined up.
Everyone shook hands with Chen Dongcheng warmly and said goodbye.
As a reward for flying all the way, the two pilots and three stewardesses each received a tip of 2,000 pounds.
"Mr. Chen, I sincerely hope to see you again next time."
The eyes of the three stewardesses were always bright.
Two thousand pounds is not a small amount of income for them.
This is the reason why many flight attendants are struggling to become private jet flight attendants.
Passengers who can afford to rent such an aircraft are basically either rich or expensive.
A casual tip can be enough for an ordinary person's monthly salary.
…
Chen Dongcheng first went to Ji Jiaying's place and stayed in the UK for a month. His health improved, but his anger also increased.
Before Ji Jiaying could speak, she was pulled into the bedroom by Chen Dongcheng.
Su Xiaoyu, who was next door, curled her lips: "Here we go again."
Looking at the water friends in the live broadcast room, Su Xiaoyu was absent-mindedly broadcasting the live broadcast, and took the time to do so.
"How long has it been since we last seen this bitch couple that they've been crazy for so long?"
Su Xiaoyu's live broadcast was a little sleepy, but the person next door hadn't stopped yet.
After explaining to the water friends in the live broadcast room, Su Xiaoyu went off the air.
If there wasn't music in the earphones that she would fight to the death, Su Xiaoyu felt that she wouldn't have to live tonight.
During the live broadcast, I inevitably spent a lot of time chatting, and I felt a little thirsty at this time.
When she went out to get a glass of water, Su Xiaoyu didn't dare to listen to those strange sounds in her ears.
Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep at all at night.
After nearly three hours, Su Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, it's finally over."
"Dong dong dong."
Su Xiaoyu was a little nervous: "Who is it?"
"It's me, we're going out to eat, will you go?"
Ji Jiaying asked while standing outside the door.
"Of course, go, wait for me to clean up."
Su Xiaoyu replied fiercely, and then began to look through the clothes in the closet.
She didn't know what she was doing wrong, but she even thought about dressing up.
After a few minutes, he put on a red baseball uniform and put on some light makeup on his face.
Su Xiaoyu opened the bedroom door and saw Chen Dongcheng who was eating fruit in the living room.
The most annoying thing is that Chen Dongcheng doesn't look embarrassed at all.
Su Xiaoyu was completely convinced and said dullly: "When will we eat? I'm starving to death."
"Let's go now."
The moment Ji Jiaying closed the bedroom door, Su Xiaoyu still saw with sharp eyes that the sheets inside were wrinkled.
The three of them packed up and went downstairs. The headlights of the Cavalier XV, which had been turned off, suddenly turned on.
"This car is really cool."
Su Xiaoyu couldn't help but said.
"Hehe, it's okay. Are you sitting in the passenger seat?"
Ji Jiaying held Chen Dongcheng's arm with a smile on her face.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiaoyu felt sour.
Sure enough, women in love are different.
This radiant look made Su Xiaoyu extremely envious.
She lives in front of the computer all day long, and her face is oily every day. How can she not be as delicate as Ji Jiaying who takes care of herself every day?
"No, I'll squeeze into the back row with you."
Su Xiaoyu glanced at the back row of Knight XV. Although there were only two seats, it was very spacious.
It's totally fine for her to sit with Ji Jiaying.
"Okay, I'll just sit on his lap."
Ji Jiaying ignored the resentful Su Xiaoyu and continued to spread dog food.
Along the way, Su Xiaoyu turned to look out the window, too lazy to look at the doggy man and woman rubbing each other's ears and temples next to them.
In November in Shanghai, the weather has started to get cooler.
Even the girls on the street put on leggings one after another.
Many people on Douyin post very interesting memes.
One of them is "I am lucky enough to have torn a piece of Balenciaga."
Only Ji Jiaying probably remembers how many strips Chen Dongcheng tore just now.
Knight XV stopped at Nanhui Road, and many passers-by looked over curiously.
Monsters of this level are rarely seen in the Magic City.
The main reason is that this car consumes too much fuel and very few young people like it.
Sports cars that can hit the streets and seduce girls are their favorites.
When Su Xiaoyu got out of the car and saw the restaurant's plaque, she was very excited: "It's rare for a rich man to pay for it today. I must be more enthusiastic."
Chen Dongcheng took a look and saw that the restaurant was called Hot Pot Upstairs.
In some cold weather, it would be nice to have some hot pot to warm up.
When we entered the restaurant, it was almost twelve o'clock and there were still many people.
Su Xiaoyu ran over and asked the waiter: "Is there any room left?"
"Sorry, the hall is no longer available. You three can choose to go to a private room."
"Private rooms, it seems there is a 10% service charge, right?"
Su Xiaoyu felt that it was not worth it. If she sat in the lobby, she could save some beef money.
But looking at the other people who were having a good time, Su Xiaoyu couldn't control it. She turned around and asked Chen Dongcheng: "Shall we go to a private room?"
"You said I'm paying the bill, why do you still need to save money for me?"
Chen Dongcheng walked forward, and the waiter led the way.
When we came to the private room, there were only three of us, so it seemed a bit big.
The waiter handed over the menu, and Su Xiaoyu started ordering without any politeness. It seemed that she wanted to recoup all the mental damage caused tonight.
"I've finished ordering, what do you want to order?"
Su Xiaoyu ordered a lot of dishes as if announcing the names of the dishes.
"Ma'am, I suggest you order after you finish your meal. These should be enough for four people."
Su Xiaoyu pouted: "I'm okay, some people may be starving."
The waitress didn't understand, but she still left the private room and prepared to serve the food.
"Su Xiaoyu!"
Ji Jiaying glared at Su Xiaoyu and said angrily: "Thankfully, I'm kind enough to take you to a big dinner. We'll have a feast later."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so heartless, who let the fans go shopping with you?"
Su Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Ji Jiaying: "You really forget about your besties when you have eggs. It's a shame I'm so good to you."
Chen Dongcheng finally understood how openly girls can talk when they are together, but he said that he definitely didn't understand.
The waiter served the dish, and the bottom of the pot was old fish maw chicken soup, which cost 388 a portion and tasted very good.
The other shabu-shabu products can be regarded as useless.
While eating hot pot, Chen Dongcheng saw that Su Xiaoyu was enjoying the meal and asked casually: "How was your live broadcast?"
"I?"
Su Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Chen Dongcheng would suddenly ask about this. She shrugged and said, "I'm just messing around. I rely on the rich people who occasionally pass by who are in a good mood to give me a few rockets. I make a lot of money, twenty or thirty thousand a month."
There are still some.”
"Only this little income?"
Chen Dongcheng was a little surprised. According to Su Xiaoyu's conditions, one hundred thousand a month was about the same.
These days, a girl who can act cute, has a good figure, and has a baby face should start at this price.
Su Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, rinsed the beef and said, "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you're not a rich man. For us low-level people, it's pretty good to earn 20,000 yuan a month."
Chen Dongcheng asked casually: "Then I will give you a chance to earn 100,000 yuan a month. Do you want to do it?"
"Earn 100,000 a month?"
Su Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "You want to set up a live broadcast platform?"
"The live broadcast platform makes too little money and is boring."
Chen Dongcheng waved his hand and explained simply: "It is a short video platform. You can post some interesting videos on it, and I can give you more recommended resources. If you are lucky, you can easily gain millions of fans."
Millions of fans?
Su Xiaoyu was dubious: "Real or false?"
"There are many such platforms, but you have never heard of them. Miaopai, Meipai, Kuaishou, you have heard of them, right?"
"I know Kuaishou, it's a very low platform, and it's full of disgusting platforms called Mai and eating all kinds of weird things."
Su Xiaoyu was a little puzzled: "I heard that Kuaishou is similar to Douyu. They all rely on live streaming to make money, so I might as well continue to develop on Douyu."
"The platform I want to set up is different from Kuaishou. You will know it later."
Chen Dongcheng betrayed the situation, which made Su Xiaoyu very unhappy.
People who only half-talk are the most irritating people.
After paying for the meal, Su Xiaoyu looked at the bill, which was three thousand yuan.
Normally she would not be willing to come to this kind of restaurant to eat, and it would cost her enough to buy a bottle of Sisley essence.
Walking out of the restaurant, Su Xiaoyu burped.
"It feels good to eat with rich people, but you can't lie to me about what you told me today."
"Yeah, but you also have to learn some talents, such as singing and dancing. You don't need to be able to do it for a long time, at least you are at a good level."
Little red relies on support, big red relies on life.
Chen Dongcheng could give Su Xiaoyu some random ideas and they would make her extremely angry.
…
The next day, Chen Dongcheng first met with Peng Zhijian at the Global Center.
After hearing that Chen Dongcheng asked him for help, Peng Zhijian gladly accepted the invitation.
“Do you need short video talents?”
Peng Zhijian knows Chen Dongcheng's record, which is quite amazing.
Chen Dongcheng nodded and asked: "Yes, is there a suitable one?"
"There must be one. Short videos have only emerged in the past few years. Even Tengxun can't do it well, let alone other companies.
Kuaishou is pretty good, but when it comes to profitability, the content and users are a bit too low-end."
Peng Zhijian pays attention to these potential companies every day, and he naturally speaks clearly and logically.
"By the way, how much do you plan to invest in this project?"
"Let's test the waters with 10 million US dollars first and see if it works."
Peng Zhijian was truly speechless. Who could do anything when meeting an entrepreneur like Chen Dongcheng?
People are not short of money. If they want to invest, they can only take the initiative to send it to the top.
"Okay, let me contact you and see, full service?"
"Of course, try to make talent recommendations as reliable as possible."
Peng Zhijian pushed up his glasses: "Are you still worried about me doing things?"
"If you don't trust me, I won't come to you."
Chen Dongcheng's connections in this area are indeed not as good as those of Peng Zhijian, so it would be easiest to leave this matter to him.
Within three days, Peng Zhijian sent four resumes, all of which were suitable for senior management positions in the new company.
Thanks to Peng Zhijian's recommendation, and because they indeed met Chen Dongcheng's requirements, the employment contract was quickly completed.
The CEO's name is Hong Jun. He looks very tough and speaks with great momentum.
Hong Jun had previously been the vice president of Miaopai. It happened that Chen Dongcheng had an opportunity, and with Peng Zhijian as a matchmaker, Hong Jun decided to try his luck.
Ten million US dollars in start-up capital, very interesting products, support from many brother platforms...
Hong Jun felt that if he could not achieve something, he would not be able to afford so many resources.
"Dr. Chen, don't worry, I will definitely develop the product as soon as possible and put it online as soon as possible."
Hong Jun thought that with so many resources, he also had a lot of money.
If he didn't make a big splash in the short video field, he would be willing to quit the world.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and encouraged: "I am patient with Douyin. I would rather try more in the early stage than make the product a blockbuster."
"I see."
Hong Jun nodded heavily with a solemn expression.
Chen Dongcheng silently thought that Douyin was finally going to be launched.
The short video empire of the future has been quietly laid out.
Although there is Douyin in the south and Kuaishou in the north, there are two families of mentally retarded people in the world.
But this does not prevent the two companies from making huge profits. Each of them is a super unicorn with a valuation of tens of billions.
If you want to make money without getting scolded, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
Anyway, Chen Dongcheng was just hiding behind the scenes, and he was scolding Hong Jun. It was none of his business.
