Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 342 Dominating the Hot Searches
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng felt that it was reasonable for him to remind Principal Wang.
Zhou Dongsheng casually called Principal Wang to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Principal Wang. Three or four of the top ten hot search topics are related to the Panda platform. This is not just a win-win situation, it's simply a win-win situation."
On the other end of the phone, Principal Wang was also in high spirits, "Oh, it's just a wave of operations that go with the flow. I didn't expect the effect to be so good..."
"Even when we were negotiating with other investors for financing, several investors that were originally on the sidelines have expressed their intention to raise funds..."
Invisibly, Principal Wang also showed a little "Versailles" in front of Zhou Dongsheng. Although he did not say it directly, it was obvious that he wanted Zhou Dongsheng to "regret his decision."
Hey, you don't think highly of my Panda platform, right? You'd rather invest in e-commerce gaming companies than my Panda platform, right?
Seeing that my Panda platform is thriving and its valuation is getting higher and higher, isn’t the feeling of “losing money” more painful than eating shit?
When Zhou Dongsheng heard this, he also showed a look of realization.
It turned out that he was happy about the financing being in sight. Zhou Dongsheng was still thinking that Principal Wang, who has a natural tendency to become a hot search, should not be so happy just because of a few hot searches.
If you knew what Principal Wang was thinking, I wonder if you would say: A summer insect cannot talk about ice.
"Then congratulations to Principal Wang on the double happiness. However, when I saw the news of Dazhi's return, I suddenly remembered a piece of gossip that I heard from somewhere..."
Zhou Dongsheng could only choose a seemingly plausible and ambiguous way. After all, apart from knowing that this incident happened, he didn't know anything about the cause and effect. He didn't know how to make up a story even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, Zhou Dongsheng is now considered an insider in the circle, so the reason for him to hear the gossip is reasonable. In addition, he has a good relationship with Principal Wang, so it is harmless to just talk about it as gossip.
Even if this incident had never happened in this life, it would not cause any loss to Zhou Dongsheng, who "speaks ill of others behind their backs."
Even so, the overly cautious Zhou Dongsheng still said: "Let me make it clear in advance that I don't know whether this gossip is true or not. It's only because of our friendship that I want to be honest with you..."
Hearing this, Principal Wang felt even more annoyed. "Why are you still so fussy? Just say it. I can judge for myself!"
I saw that Principal Wang agreed to his "Disclaimer", although his attitude was just like agreeing to the so-called "You have read the User Agreement" check box.
But since he had agreed, Zhou Dongsheng said, "According to rumors, during the period when the contract was blocked, many platforms approached Dazhi, and Dazhi reached a cooperation agreement with one of the platforms..."
Zhou Dongsheng stopped there and just took it as a reminder to Principal Wang. It could be considered as returning a favor. After all, Zhou Dongsheng did a lot of things for free by using Principal Wang's reputation.
"Although I don't know whether it's true or not, it seems that Principal Wang is planning to shape Dazhi into the mainstay of the Panda platform and take over Saozhu's title of the top brother, so I told you about this matter so that you can evaluate the risks."
Upon hearing this, Principal Wang shuddered. He suddenly realized that the Panda platform had been developing too smoothly since its launch, and he had completely ignored the possible crisis issues...
Whether it was the flattery from the outside world during this period or Principal Wang's good self-esteem, it did make Principal Wang a little carried away.
However, Principal Wang was not stupid. Zhou Dongsheng's advice made him realize his own "arrogance".
When realizing this, Principal Wang felt that it no longer mattered whether Dazhi's story was true or false.
The most important thing is that Zhou Dongsheng's words awakened the dreamer. For Principal Wang, the significance of these words far exceeded the question of great wisdom.
Principal Wang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, brother. Your words have really enlightened me. I almost overlooked the most basic principle that business is like a battlefield..."
"As for our friendship, I won't say much else. I'll keep it in mind. I'll have someone investigate Dazhi's matter."
Zhou Dongsheng was a little confused. Huh? Why did Principal Wang make it sound like he owed him a big favor?
It seemed that this was the first time that someone even seriously addressed him as a brother.
A mere fact that Dazhi is two-timing should not be enough to make Principal Wang so cautious, right?
Although he didn't understand it clearly, since things had come to this, Zhou Dongsheng naturally wanted to take it.
"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. We are brothers in our hearts, as long as you feel it!" Zhou Dongsheng joked.
After a round of pleasantries, Principal Wang finally said, "There will be a courier to you in two days, remember to pick it up." Then he hung up the phone.
Zhou Dongsheng touched his head, feeling embarrassed. He had been taking Principal Wang's gifts for free all day long, and now he had to return the favor one day.
Treat him to a hot dog? Zhou Dongsheng smiled knowingly.
…
At the same time, after Zhou Dongsheng had a brief conversation with Principal Wang, something unexpected happened on Weibo that neither of them had expected.
The news that Saozhu had major problems during his physical examination accidentally leaked. As the current top player of Panda and a former retired player, he has always had a fairly solid popularity base.
In addition, the Panda platform has frequently appeared on the hot searches today and has become a hot word today. With the two combined, the entry "PDD is suspected of having cancer" suddenly rushed to the hot search list and continued to rise.
Before the Pinxixi platform became popular, the name PDD was still a personal label unique to Saozhu.
Therefore, the directionality of this hot search is still very strong, even though Saozhu’s fame is not yet known to everyone.
However, many netizens clicked on the hot search and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar pig and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Oh! So the guy who smoked the god on the reverse day is him!"
"Although I don't know him, I have used his emoticons. I wish him a speedy recovery!"
"Ah? What's going on? How could such a slutty pig have such a slutty thing?"
"I used to joke around in the live broadcast room, but I won't do that this time. I hope the host recovers soon!"
For a while, comments like these appeared on Saozhu’s Weibo account, and both the spectators and true fans offered their blessings.
Liu was a little confused at the moment. How could this news suddenly break out ? Not knowing how to deal with it, Liu hesitated for a moment.
He hesitated for a moment between calling Principal Wang and calling Zhou Dongsheng first, and then decisively chose the latter.
After receiving Liu's call, Zhou Dongsheng didn't think much about it and said jokingly, "Has the Hope Primary School been settled?"
Liu explained the situation and expressed his concerns, fearing that his own affairs would affect the Panda platform.
After all, Principal Wang was kind to him and gave him such a big contract. Liu felt guilty both emotionally and logically.
Now that the matter has been exposed again, Liu himself is confused and doesn't know how to strike the right balance, so he thought of asking Zhou Dongsheng for advice.
After all, in Liu's eyes, Zhou Dongsheng's ability far exceeds that of Principal Wang!
Just the instruction of "reverse smoking" alone has enabled him to "rise to prominence" in the field of live broadcasting...
Zhou Dongsheng laughed when he heard this, "Old Liu, you just think too much!"
