Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 678 Setting Sail
The beauty of Hangzhou has left its indelible mark in history books. It has also become a holy place for countless literati and poets throughout the ages, and many classics that have been passed down through the ages were born here.
The West Lake is like the beauty mole between the eyebrows of this classical beauty in Hangzhou. It is always mentioned. In Su Xian's writing, it is evaluated as "If you want to compare the West Lake to Xi Shi, heavy makeup is always suitable."
Perhaps this is the most appropriate description of this beauty.
At this moment, Zhou Dongsheng, who was sitting in a private seat at the West Lake, looked at the youthful and beautiful West Lake. Naturally, there was no top adjective like Suxian in his mind, so he could only sigh.
"West Lake, there is so much water."
"Ah? Who is Dongsheng talking about?" Zhang Dayi, who was sitting opposite, was fiddling with her mobile phone. She didn't hear clearly for a while, and looked outside in the direction Zhou Dongsheng was looking.
"No, it's just that the beauty of the West Lake is so beautiful that I never get tired of it, just like the beauty in front of me." Zhou Dongsheng retracted his gaze and teased in a slightly greasy tone.
But greasy is always relative. At least Zhang Dayi in front of him didn’t feel greasy, and even felt a little happy.
"There is no shortage of beauties around you. I'm afraid you're dazzled by seeing them every day." Zhang Dayi gave Zhou Dongsheng a charming look.
As a well-known fashion blogger, Zhang Dayi naturally still spends a lot of thought on her outfit, whether it is the makeup matching or the small accessories that are like the finishing touch.
It always makes its style seamless and pleasing to the eye, just like a work of art that embodies the painstaking efforts of a craftsman.
Compared with Xizi's natural beauty without makeup, isn't this modern craft beauty also a diversified display?
"Beautiful looks are all the same. You'll get tired of them after seeing them for a long time. But you're different. You always have something new and fresh to offer every time."
Zhou Dongsheng leaned lazily on the back of the chair, with his hands crossed behind his head, looking like a nonchalant young master.
It is really interesting to have free time and have dinner with an internet celebrity and joke around. No wonder Principal Wang enjoys it. Now Zhou Dongsheng has finally experienced the fun.
Of course, the happiest part has not been unlocked yet, but looking at the charming Zhang Dayi in front of me, we have dealt with her so many times, wouldn’t it be a natural thing to deal with her again?
"Hehe, this is women's little trick. Men, don't guess~" Zhang Dayi said with a playful smile and a slightly smug expression.
Obviously, as a professional player who makes a living by "beauty", Zhang Dayi's combat effectiveness in this area is definitely at the level of a professional player.
After all, there are thousands of beauties, and many of them can make a living by relying on their beauty, but there are probably only a few who can use this to become billionaires and achieve financial freedom.
After the joke was revealed, the topic naturally shifted to the online event "Everyone is an Internet Celebrity".
Previously, after the foreshadowing of "The Boring Life of Zhou Dongsheng", the two major media outlets joined forces to come up with a lot of fancy big moves, which were carried out in an effective manner by combining online and offline methods.
The most essential purpose is to "discover" and "cultivate" Internet celebrities. After all, the Internet celebrity economy is getting bigger and bigger. The two major media are the first to enter the market and have already made some achievements.
Naturally, they have to give full play to their own advantages and strive to be the best. Not only do they have to keep their own cake, but they also have to grab as much cake as possible. The most scarce chips in the market right now are nothing more than high-quality Internet celebrities.
Fortunately, the two major media have the solid foundation laid by Zhou Dongsheng. Relying on this early group of high-quality Internet celebrities as nourishment, they are able to create a traffic pool of their own.
Not to mention, there is also a high-quality content platform like Douyin to cooperate with, and with Zhou Dongsheng's relationship, the two major media outlets have every advantage.
With all the conditions of right time, right place and right people, if the two major media outlets still cannot make a name for themselves, then there is obviously no need for them to exist and they should just be replaced.
Obviously, neither Xu Kaidao nor Xu Ruoan wanted to just eat and wait for death. With such good conditions provided by Zhou Dongsheng, they both worked hard and used this event to recruit a large number of newcomers as the company's talent reserve.
If you want to cultivate the next phenomenal internet celebrity, you can only leave it to fate. After all, phenomenal internet celebrities are hard to come by, and heroes are often created by current events.
However, there shouldn't be any problem in using this to catalyze the creation of a large number of internet celebrities with millions of fans and expand the traffic pool of the two major media outlets. After all, advantages are like a snowball.
As long as there are no major accidents, the snowball will eventually get bigger and bigger.
As the internet celebrity economy has already gained momentum, it is naturally impossible for the industry to be dominated by only two or three big cats and small cats. As the old and the new take over, various media outlets are also showing off their unique skills.
Even Ruhan Holdings, the company behind Zhang Dayi, is no exception. After successfully obtaining a large amount of financing, it is now really gearing up to make great achievements.
At this time, Zhang Dayi, as a representative of the top fashion influencers, joined hands with Yinian Media to participate in this event, which naturally attracted the attention of Ruhan Holdings.
If there is an opportunity, we can select some of them and sign them to our own media companies, and train them well. Maybe we can cultivate the next "Zhang Dayi"?
A qualified internet celebrity media cannot be without its own top internet celebrities, and a top internet celebrity media obviously cannot have only one top internet celebrity.
Now, Ruhan Holdings has undoubtedly completed the first stage and started working towards the second stage.
However, everything has a first come first served order. The event was organized by Zhou Dongsheng, and Zhang Dayi only participated in the event after taking advantage of Zhou Dongsheng.
Even if Ruhan Holdings wants to pick one, it still has to wait in line.
Of course, good players will often make several preparations instead of relying on just one thing, and the same is true for Ruhan Holdings.
Anyway, if you want to successfully cultivate top talents, it still depends on the process of survival of the fittest. There is no shortcut.
That means casting a wide net to catch more fish. Just catch whatever you can.
At present, this activity has been carried out for a while, and many contestants have emerged from it. This time Zhou Dongsheng came to Hangzhou mainly for this event.
But since I'm here, I might as well stop by Ding Sanshi to ask for some free money.
"Speaking of this, I thought that most of the people who signed up were girls. After all, isn't our team called 'Beautiful as Flowers'? I didn't expect that there was actually a boy who signed up..."
"What I didn't expect was that this boy is actually quite amazing. Not only does he know a lot about beauty and makeup, but he's also an expert in makeup techniques. I think there's no problem for him to be a beauty expert..."
"According to his self-introduction, he seems to be a salesperson at an offline counter. I have seen salespeople quite a lot. Several of my gay friends are salespeople..."
Zhang Dayi became extremely lively after opening her mouth and began to chatter about the content of the event itself.
Zhou Dongsheng's eyes lit up when he heard it. The more he listened, the more familiar it sounded. It turned out that Zhou Dongsheng just wanted to cast a net and try his luck, but he didn't expect that he would actually catch a big fish?
"Oh? It sounds interesting. What's his name?" Zhou Dongsheng asked casually.
"Let me think... Oh, her name is Li Jiaqi. At first I thought it was a girl's name. That's why it left a deep impression on me, so I still remember it..."
Zhang Dayi tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then gave her answer with certainty.
"A sales clerk who works in the cosmetics industry, has a feminine name and is very knowledgeable about cosmetics. Such a special boy, Dongsheng, do you think he could be..."
Zhang Dayi counted these characteristics on her fingers, and then seriously threw the question to Zhou Dongsheng.
Hearing the name, Zhou Dongsheng immediately had an idea in his mind. With so many factors gathered together, it was most likely that he had succeeded. As expected, hard work pays off, and the big fish finally swam into the big net.
Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in the hand. For Zhou Dongsheng, as long as he catches this one, the activity will be worth it, and the others are just gifts.
When Zhou Dongsheng heard the question raised by Zhang Dayi, he couldn't help but smile and said jokingly: "I don't know about this, but if you have the chance, you can ask it in person..."
"After listening to your introduction, I think this person is quite special. He has the rarest discernment in the Internet celebrity industry. I would like to sign him and see how far a man can go on the road of beauty and makeup expert. This must be very interesting..."
Zhou Dongsheng looked very interested and Zhang Dayi had no doubt about it. After all, in her eyes, it was not strange for a young man like to play anything.
"You tell me, aren't you afraid that I will snatch it away? Don't forget that I am a shareholder of Ruhan Holdings. And Dongsheng, you are famous for your sharp eyes. I heard that someone has given you the title of 'Internet celebrity Bole'. In my opinion, you deserve the title."
Zhang Dayi giggled, picked up the milk tea on the table and took a sip, then glanced at Zhou Dongsheng while biting the straw and said.
"Since you all know that I'm the 'Internet celebrity mentor', do you think you can beat me? But this title doesn't sound as good as Principal Wang's. I'll borrow it from him someday..."
Zhou Dongsheng said seriously, Zhang Dayi was still unaware, and even took the initiative to ask: "Which one of Principal Wang? 'National Husband'?"
"No, it's 'Internet celebrity harvester'. This title is much more powerful than 'Internet celebrity Bole'. It harvests everything in one go!"
Zhou Dongsheng laughed.
Zhang Dayi immediately glared at Zhou Dongsheng in anger, "With your conditions, Dongsheng, why would you need to borrow this title? Isn't this something that can be easily obtained?"
"Yes, isn't that what I am trying to do?"
Zhou Dongsheng spread his hands with a bachelor's look on his face and attacked directly with a straight ball, catching Zhang Dayi off guard.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you~" But this obviously did not pose a problem for the experienced Zhang Dayi, who immediately put on an attitude of wanting to refuse but also to welcome.
"I've been to Hangzhou several times, but I haven't had the chance to appreciate the night view here. It would be great if I had someone to accompany me and have a midnight snack or something. What do you think?"
Zhou Dongsheng said excitedly, Zhang Dayi was not afraid at all, "You want me to be your tour guide? Then I will take you around without any difficulty. I know there is a delicious midnight snack in Hangzhou..."
"Really? Then I have to give it a try." Zhou Dongsheng said seriously.
As a food desert as famous as Beijing, it is obvious that discussing food in Hangzhou has other purposes.
"But I have to be busy until very late tonight. If someone is willing to pick me up, the tour guide fee will be waived!" At the end, Zhang Dayi did not forget to play hard to get, and it was obvious that she understood the fun of it.
"Oh? There is such a good thing? I have to think about it. After all, I always believe that there is no free lunch in the world..." Zhou Dongsheng turned and pretended to think seriously.
Zhang Dayi rolled her eyes at him, picked up her bag and said unhappily: "Then you take your time to figure it out , I'll leave first!" After that, she left without any hesitation.
After all, she came by car and didn't need Zhou Dongsheng to send her off.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh. As expected, the more expensive the restaurant, the more particular the taste of dining is. Who would come in and start eating big fish and meat right away?
Looking at the dishes on the plate in front of him, Zhou Dongsheng was inspired.
After filling his stomach, Zhou Dongsheng picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Xu Ruoan, asking her to pay attention to the contestant Li Jiaqi and sign him to the company no matter what.
The reason is: I am optimistic about it.
For Zhou Dongsheng today, there is obviously no need to explain further. He originally wanted to make the process seem more reasonable so that others would not find it too abrupt.
But now, it is obviously no longer necessary.
…
Yinian Media Company, now with the rapid development of the internet celebrity economy, Yinian Media Company has also changed a lot. The office space has long been updated and it no longer looks like a small workshop.
After all, whether it is the name of the company's head [Papi Jiang], the boss Zhou Dongsheng, or the hit works created by him, they have all made Yinian Media famous and no longer a small company.
Not only that, these two well-known brands are also very attractive to talents. I don’t know how many people joined Yinian Media just for these two people.
Even though Yinian Media has only one boss, Zhou Dongsheng, it does not have to worry about being alone. After all, Zhou Dongsheng now has no worries about having no money to spend.
"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" alone is enough to support the current consumption, not to mention the batch of high-quality assets in Zhou Dongsheng's hands. Now the snowball has already grown bigger and bigger.
Even if he uses the power of "Face Fruit", the amount of funds Zhou Dongsheng can get now is already calculated in billions.
Even though Zhou Dongsheng can open his mouth, others still have to ask, "Is it in US dollars?"
He is no longer the young entrepreneur who relied on his relationship with Chen Yuhang to negotiate a loan over the dinner table.
Therefore, with Zhou Dongsheng as its backing , the development of Yinian Media was naturally smooth, and Xu Ruoan, as a manager, also had a rare chance to taste the taste of success.
Although this time the money was not earned through her own entrepreneurship, she has seen Yinian Media flourish in her hands and witnessed the process of the internet celebrity economy developing from nothing to a rapid development.
Xu Ruoan also felt proud of it. This kind of happiness is obviously difficult to experience in the entertainment industry.
And before she knew it, her resume as a manager of Yi Nian Media had gradually overshadowed her many years of experience in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, they are the most scarce management talents in this emerging industry with strong vitality.
If Xu Ruoan wants to start a new business again, it will definitely not be difficult to get investment.
But obviously, sitting on a ship that has begun to ride the waves of the times, and having the honor of being the first mate, jumping off ship is not a rational choice.
