Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 664: Friends of Women
Although Zhou Dongsheng is very concerned about the progress of the cooperation, it is obvious that the advancement of the cooperation is not affected by his personal will. It is obviously impossible to get results so quickly without spending some time.
Just when I was bored, my cell phone suddenly dinged, reminding me that I had received a WeChat message. When I opened it, I found that it was from Zhang Dayi, whom I had subconsciously ignored recently.
If Zhou Dongsheng knew about Zhang Dayi's speculation about him, he might feel a little wronged. After all, he has been so busy recently that he completely forgot about the existence of this person.
However, since the other party had taken the initiative to come to him, Zhou Dongsheng's mind immediately became active, and he couldn't help but become interested in Zhang Dayi.
Of course, compared to his interest in Zhang Dayi's appearance, Zhou Dongsheng is more interested in her pioneering position in the field of e-commerce live streaming.
After all, in the internet celebrity media business, Zhou Dongsheng has more or less experienced what it means to be "dazzled by the flowers".
Compared to the ordinary fans who only have good looks, Zhang Dayi undoubtedly has a unique feature that is even better...
With his mind racing, he was checking a message on his hand. It turned out to be a voice message. When he opened it, he heard Zhang Dayi's slightly charming voice.
"Mr. Zhou, are you free? I want to trouble you with something." The numb voice showed that he was a veteran clamp player.
Zhou Dongsheng was even more interested in this. After all, he had seen Zhang Dayi's little tricks the last time they met. This time, he was a little curious about what new tricks the other party would play.
So he replied with a smile, "I just happen to be free right now. If Miss Zhang has anything to say, I'm happy to help."
Not long after he sent the message, a phone call came in. Zhou Dongsheng immediately understood what he meant. He didn't expect that the other party was so sensible and knew to test it with a voice message first instead of calling directly.
As long as Zhou Dongsheng replies to the message, it means that he is free and can communicate further by phone. If you call right away and the other party is not available, the effect of the proactive attack will be greatly reduced.
It has to be said that this step-by-step approach is indeed simple and effective. It is not difficult to see that Zhang Dayi did put some thought into it...
Zhou Dongsheng picked up the phone with interest.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, are you in Shanghai now?" Zhang Dayi asked straight to the point.
"Yes, how come Miss Zhang is also in Shanghai?" Zhou Dongsheng asked in surprise.
"Yes, I just got out of the high-speed rail station. Would it be convenient for me to treat Mr. Zhou to a meal?" Zhang Dayi smiled playfully and took the initiative to say.
"How can I do that? It's not right to let a lady treat us..." Zhou Dongsheng said righteously, as if he was a fish that had been hooked.
"It's settled then. After all, I still have something to trouble Mr. Zhou. I'll treat you to a meal first, so that you won't be able to refuse me..." Zhang Dayi's tone revealed cunning.
Although the purpose is obvious, it will not cause disgust.
"Then let's meet later to discuss in detail. I'll send you the address directly via my phone!" Zhang Dayi said, "See you later" and hung up the phone.
Then the phone rang and sent a location information, which was a river view restaurant on the Bund.
After this whole series of punches, Zhou Dongsheng once again felt that familiar tug of war. He neither let himself receive the attack, nor took the initiative to treat the opponent, grasping the sense of propriety.
In addition, she is a beautiful fashion model, so it is really hard for people to dislike her. No wonder she will rise to prominence in the future, and even make a certain high-ranking industry boss lose his mind...
He has some extraordinary tricks up his sleeve. Anyway, he has nothing to do, so he might as well have some fun that comes to his doorstep.
After tidying up, he took his car keys and went out, heading straight for the River View Restaurant.
When they arrived and followed the waiter to a private room with an excellent view, they did not expect that Zhang Dayi had been waiting for them for a long time. When she saw Zhou Dongsheng, her face immediately showed joy and she took the initiative to stand up to greet him.
When she stood up, a pair of long white legs were revealed, so white that it was hard not to attract other people's attention.
"Mr. Zhou is here, please take a seat." Zhang Dayi habitually lifted her long hair and greeted him generously.
As she spoke, her long brown hair casually fell on her shoulders. She was wearing a beige open-chested knitted sweater. Her fair neck was adorned with a long rose gold necklace, which made her fair and slender neck look particularly charming.
Otherwise, she is a fashion influencer who started out as a model. Although her outfit is simple, the details reflected in the subtleties undoubtedly greatly enhance Zhang Dayi's charm.
Zhou Dongsheng did not hesitate to show his appreciation. After taking a look at her, he said with a sincere feeling, "It's only been a few days since I last saw you. I found that Miss Zhang is even prettier than before..."
"Women dress up to please themselves. I dressed up specially to meet Mr. Zhou, so of course I look better than last time~" Zhang Dayi made no secret of revealing her little tricks.
"After all, when you ask someone to do something for you, you have to be sincere, right~" Then he changed the subject and started making a joke.
"Then I'm very curious, what could make Miss Zhang go to such great lengths to do this? If I can't do it, won't that disappoint you?"
Zhou Dongsheng was not shy at all. He sat down with his arms and legs spread out, then looked at Zhang Dayi and said.
"It's a difficult task for me, but for Mr. Zhou, it's just a piece of cake." Zhang Dayi put her hands in her lap, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Zhou Dongsheng with her bright big eyes.
"That needs to be agreed upon in advance. If I can't do it , can I still eat this meal?" Zhou Dongsheng said unmoved, as if there was a faint fragrance lingering around his nose.
"Of course. At worst, Mr. Zhou can just invite it back to me next time." Zhang Dayi chuckled.
"Okay, then I feel relieved. In that case, Miss Zhang, please feel free to speak." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile, and he couldn't help but be curious about the other party's purpose.
"It's like this. Recently, our company has been trying to expand its business into live streaming. After all, live streaming is undoubtedly the general direction of the future. I personally also want to develop my career in the direction of live streaming..."
"It's just that I'm a little confused about the platform I'm choosing. Big platforms like Shark Tiger Tooth are good, but I don't seem to have any talents to show off, and I can't play games or anything..."
Zhang Dayi pinched her fingers and listed them one by one in a serious manner. She looked very earnest. Following the conversation, Zhou Dongsheng felt that he had guessed what she was thinking.
"Moreover, the audience of this kind of live broadcast platform is incompatible with the fashion direction I am engaged in. It can be said that it is completely incompatible, so I want to find a more open and inclusive platform..."
"I think the short video platform Douyin invested by Mr. Zhou is very suitable. Moreover, Douyin's live broadcast function has just been launched not long ago. Live broadcast mainly based on mobile phones can be said to be very suitable for internet celebrities like me to create content..."
Sure enough, what Zhang Dayi said was the same as what Zhou Dongsheng thought. Even before coming, Zhou Dongsheng had already thought of this direction.
After all, live streaming e-commerce is a huge blue ocean waiting to be developed, and it is still at a point where no one is interested. The first generation of e-commerce influencers represented by Zhang Dayi can be regarded as the first group of people to set foot in this blue ocean and get a taste of it.
Of course, there is some element of luck involved, but judging from the fact that Zhang Dayi was able to see the potential in the Douyin platform, perhaps the success of some people is not without reason.
"Oh? Douyin has always been open and inclusive, accepting content creators from all sides, especially big internet celebrities like Miss Zhang. I believe Douyin will definitely welcome them with open arms and will definitely give them corresponding preferential treatment..."
"It's just that I'm a little curious. Compared to Douyin, shouldn't Meipai be a better choice? Why did Miss Zhang choose Douyin?"
Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject and asked with a little curiosity.
After all, Meipai is currently a short video platform that can compete with Kuaishou, and judging from the platform's tone, Meipai is a platform that focuses more on areas such as fashion and beauty.
Whether from the name or the Meitu company behind it, the Meipai platform has naturally been endowed with attributes that are popular among women, and in fact this is indeed the case.
So no matter from which perspective, Meipai is a naturally suitable platform for internet celebrities like Zhang Dayi who focus on dressing and fashion.
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to hear the truth or a lie? Lies are women's sixth sense. My intuition tells me that Douyin is a better choice~" Zhang Dayi said tactfully.
"As for the truth, it's obvious. I know Mr. Zhou, the investor of Douyin. Compared with the unfamiliar Meipai platform, I believe that the treatment I receive on Douyin should be better..."
Zhang Dayi did not hide anything and spoke directly, clearly revealing her idea of "taking the back door".
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but laugh. "You are quite direct. But even without me, Douyin won't make things difficult for a big internet celebrity like you. After all, you are a high-quality creator that every platform needs..."
Zhang Dayi shook her head and said seriously, "There is another reason. That is, if you keep company with a good person, you will be known as a good person. If you keep company with a good person, you will be known as a bad person. I think I can learn more by getting close to a young and promising person like Mr. Zhou..."
As she spoke, Zhang Dayi supported her chin with one hand, her eyes revealing admiration very naturally.
When a girl naturally expresses her admiration for a boy at the right time, it can be regarded as a killer weapon in the relationship between men and women. After all, which man would refuse a fan girl?
If the fan girl is a young and beautiful girl with outstanding appearance, then his vanity will undoubtedly be greatly satisfied, and even Zhou Dongsheng would enjoy it.
I have to say that Zhang Dayi may really be a master in this area.
"Ms. Zhang, you are so sweet-talker. If you hadn't already signed the contract, I would have signed you to my media company..." Zhou Dongsheng joked.
“Although it’s a pity that I can’t work under President Zhou, it’s also good to be able to cooperate with President Zhou. In this way, I can get along with President Zhou on an equal footing, and I have less psychological burden…” Zhang Dayi said with a smile.
"I think neither Douyin nor I, the investor, will refuse to cooperate with Ms. Zhang and will also give her enough encouragement. Ms. Zhang can rest assured about this."
"Moreover, I am personally very optimistic about the future direction of e-commerce live streaming. If there is an opportunity, perhaps we can have a deeper cooperation. For this, I am willing to show more sincerity..."
Zhou Dongsheng said with ease that although live streaming e-commerce is a large unexplored blue ocean, it is obvious that the first person to enter the market and grab the land will not automatically become the winner.
Instead, it has a bit of the meaning of "those who plant trees will enjoy the shade", and Zhang Dayi may be this predecessor.
The appearance of Zhang Dayi also gave Zhou Dongsheng a clearer direction for the development of the Douyin live broadcast section. The development of live streaming with goods has never been achieved overnight, but a process of accumulation and development.
Originally, Zhou Dongsheng's understanding of the direction of live streaming sales was just superficial. Now, with the idea of forming a "Galaxy Battleship", Zhou Dongsheng has more ideas.
In my hands, the combination of "live streaming + e-commerce" may become a deep combination of "Tik Tok + Pinxixi". Maybe the two sides can achieve each other and reach new heights.
After all, Pinxixi, an e-commerce disruptor, failed to catch the trend of the "live streaming with goods" e-commerce feast in the future, which more or less left it with shortcomings and caused it to lag behind slightly in development.
If I can make up for this shortcoming, can I make Pinxixi go further?
Zhou Dongsheng was not sure about it in his heart, after all, this was a "future" that he did not understand, but the idea was indeed very tempting, making Zhou Dongsheng want to take a look at it.
But before that, even if you really build such a platform, what is indispensable is the talents who can display their talents on the platform.
The predecessors have already chosen the trees, and it is time to recruit this "descendant" and use him for my own benefit...
Zhang Dayi naturally had no idea what was going on in Zhou Dongsheng's mind. Instead, she looked at Zhou Dongsheng's slightly distracted look and thought that her little trick had worked.
He couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, with a smile on his face. He raised his glass and said, "Since Mr. Zhou said so, I will take it seriously. I hope I can have the honor to cooperate with Mr. Zhou in the future..."
I don’t know if Mr. Zhou was hallucinating, but why does the word “deepen” have an emphasis?
However, Zhou Dongsheng’s mind was obviously not here at the moment. Instead, he felt that discovering the “descendants” was more important.
However, simply respecting the wise and humble is too simplistic and crude, it is better to find a name... Zhou Dongsheng's eyes couldn't help but look at Zhang Dayi, and then they lit up slightly.
Isn’t this the title?
"Of course. To show my sincerity, I suddenly thought of a cooperation that I would like to discuss with Miss Zhang..." Zhou Dongsheng came up with an excuse easily.
"Really?" Zhang Dayi blinked innocently, feeling more and more satisfied. Men are indeed men, and it is difficult to change their nature after all...
"That's right. I want Ms. Zhang to take the lead and work with my media company to organize an event called 'Discover Fashion and Beauty Influencers'..."
Zhou Dongsheng said excitedly that after having a reputation, it would be easier to pull this "descendant" into his own camp.
Although the rise of this "talent" has a strong factional color, it would be difficult to reach such a height without strong capital support and support.
But Zhou Dongsheng now has the ability to build a stage for him to display his talents...
As for who this person is, I believe there is no need for further introduction. The answer is obvious from the word "Oumaiga" which is heard throughout the country.
Li Jiaqi!
