Chapter 283 You stand in the center of thousands of people
"Thank you all for coming to the launch ceremony of the Rose Book. I'm sorry that we couldn't welcome our distinguished future guests in a magnificent star-rated hotel or other places with thoughtful services. But I think it would be a good choice to hold this ceremony in Minghai University, a century-old prestigious school that has nurtured countless national pillars."
Liang Fei, dressed in a suit and tie, stood on the stage, smiling at the crowd of people below.
After the applause, Liang Fei paced back and forth, posing for the photographers below, with her left hand in her pocket.
Eason Chan once said, remember to put your hands in your pockets when someone is taking pictures.
"RoseBook will be a platform for sharing life and provide customers with an entry point for consumer decision-making. We will use big data to make efficient and accurate matches."
" That is to say, Lightyear Technology will enter the e-commerce business."
The invited guests in the audience were whispering to each other, glancing at Liang Fei under the spotlight from time to time.
"Where does he get the courage and funds to engage in e-commerce?"
"Keep your voice down. Didn't you see so many vice president-level executives from Penguin Technology showing up to support us?"
"You can't chew too much. Liang Fei is involved in so many messy things and wants to get involved in every field. If a young person takes too big a step, he will probably fall quickly."
"It's just luck. How far can I get?"
Of course Liang Fei couldn't hear what was said below. He didn't stay on the stage for long. Then leaders from all parties came on stage to express their support for Lightyear Technology.
Especially when Zhu Yuzhang, who has been promoted to vice president of Minghai University, came on stage, he opened his mouth and called me his disciple, and closed his mouth and called me his beloved disciple. It seemed that he was preparing to create a story of mutual achievement between teacher and student.
Liang Fei was sitting in the audience, smiling appropriately, and stood up to bow. Zhang Xiaohu, who was standing next to him, looked ahead and applauded. He leaned slightly to the left and whispered, "Before I came here, Mr. Ma asked me to tell you something. You have created so many things, and I am afraid you can't keep them with your current energy. The idea of Rose Book is very good, but I heard that similar applications will be launched soon."
Liang Fei remained calm: "What does Mr. Ma mean?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask..."
“Not for sale.”
"Xiao Liang, this is meaningless. If you don't sell it, how can we snatch it away?" Zhang Xiaohu said dissatisfiedly, "Boss Ma loves talents and thinks you can separate some of the businesses. For the time being, focus on live broadcasting and Rose Book. As for the entertainment industry... you should know that the group has a layout for this."
Liang Fei frowned slightly, a little embarrassed: "Brother, this is not appropriate, I have almost all the funds and venture capital, and I have also contacted the novel website. If you ask me to give up now, it will be difficult for me to explain to the investors."
Zhang Xiaohu nodded and whispered, "We all understand your difficulties, but Mr. Ma said that since our two families have such a close relationship, it would not sound good to let others know that we are competing on the same stage."
You can't win by fighting, how can you fight?
Now they have sent a big boss who has great influence inside to discuss the matter with you in a nice manner. If you disagree, it will be difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong in the subsequent events.
The scene of joining forces to cheat 360 is still vivid in his mind. Liang Fei only used WeChat and Campus Send as bait. He has no idea how many tricks Penguin Technology has played in private.
The lawsuit is still ongoing, and the possibility of a reconciliation in a short period of time is very slim. If Liang Fei does not agree, Penguin Technology should not be afraid of offending one more child.
What are you afraid of? Even if there are a lot of lice, you are not afraid of being bitten. If you offend someone, it’s fine. Pizza Hut is fearless .
Giving up Qidian Chinese website is equivalent to giving up the entire entertainment sector. The dream of creating IP will not come true if I don’t shoot it in the future. The online dramas that are being made now are just warm-up...
Seeing Liang Fei remained silent, Zhang Xiaohu continued to persuade: "You haven't yet expanded your entertainment business. You have only invested in a few low-cost web dramas . You can continue your cooperation with the Korean entertainment company. You can use it for live broadcasting, e-sports investment, and competitions. Mr. Ma has spoken, so we can cooperate and support him."
After a pause, Zhang Xiaohu said with emotion: "Xiao Liang, you know the group's working style. President Ma has never been so kind to a colleague. Although there is no conflict between our two businesses, we are both eating in the Internet pot, so we can be considered half competitors, right?"
Business is business. If others are better than you, they can make you give up a piece of the pie.
Liang Fei was silent for a while, then said to Zhang Xiaohu: "Brother, you have eaten so many of my bullwhips, why are you still speaking in favor of Penguin Technology?"
Zhang Xiaohu was confused: "Well, I get an annual salary from the group. I can't betray my employer just because of a few bullwhips, right?"
Liang Fei sighed, looked at Zhang Xiaohu from time to time, and shook his head frequently: "Alas, it was a wrong choice after all."
“…”
Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly comforted her, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, how much does the film and television industry produce in a year? If we don't form a closed loop and get the entire industry chain, do you think that little money is worth it? For us, the income from making movies and TV series is nothing."
Liang Fei was not convinced: "I can find a female celebrity. Female celebrities are so attractive."
Zhang Xiaohu immediately said, "Which one do you like? I'll find one and drink with you."
"Xiao Liang, you are still young. Women are just like that. Don't care about these things."
Liang Fei glanced at Zhang Xiaohu and laughed, "That's not what you said when you and Tianxia were hugging Mengmeng last month."
"Hey, hey, hey, be careful with your words and actions."
Zhang Xiaohu coughed, looked at Principal Yu who was giving a congratulatory speech on the stage, and said calmly: "Mengmeng, are you still with Tianxia?"
Eh~~~~
Liang Fei smiled and said, "Of course I am here. Everything is arranged. Let's continue to get hot tonight."
The simple ceremony had just ended, and Liang Fei wasted a lot of time dealing with various leaders and all kinds of people. When she had time to go outside to smoke a cigarette, she saw Xu Guyong leaning against a black Lamborghini, wearing an expensive suit, a slicked-back hair, his hands in his pockets, waving at Liang Fei.
"Brother, the girls from this prestigious school are so different from those from art schools. They are full of bookish air."
Xu Guyong smoked a cigarette and asked cheerfully, "Why, did Zhang Xiaohu come to give you an ultimatum?"
"Um."
Liang Fei sat in the front of the Lamborghini with her legs apart. "They said clearly that they are already making preparations. Penguin Video is just the first step. The next step is to build a complete industrial chain. When the time comes, they will buy a few more industry giants like Huayi. I really can't beat them."
Xu Guyong has been increasing his investment in Liang Fei and is also very interested in building the cultural and entertainment industry, but when he heard that Penguin Technologies was going to get involved, he immediately lost interest.
This is probably what pressure is.
"It's ok, brother. I've made movies before, but the little money I made is really boring. It has to be the Internet. I believe that sooner or later you will be able to come up with a product that will be of universal quality. Then you will be able to speak with confidence."
Xu Guyong patted Liang Fei on the shoulder and consoled her: "But now, we still have to rely on the big penguin. I have prepared everything for the evening. I have also kept the chick that Zhang Xiaohu likes."
Seeing that Liang Fei was not in a good mood, Zhang Xiaohu came over and winked, "Brother, can I tell you something happy?"
"What?"
"Meng Meng, you feel so hot after drinking."
The two men looked at each other, then laughed out loud.
Liang Fei punched Xu Guyong on the shoulder: "Damn, brother, I really didn't expect you to do this. Well, my anger has indeed subsided a lot."
"That's what I'm saying."
Xu Guyong held a cigarette in his mouth proudly and loosened his tie: "Liang Fei, my family has been up and down in the northwest for decades. We have experienced glory and desolation. Now we are half dead but still alive. I have seen through it. No matter where you are, no one can laugh all the time. Your era will come sooner or later."
"When my company has the most employees, there are tens of thousands of people. I have experienced what it feels like to stand in the center of tens of thousands of people. It is truly wonderful."
Looking at Liang Fei, Xu Guyong smiled and said, "You will have that day too."
