China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 743 The 24 people outside the episode are in the capital, just off the plane

That night, Cao Xuan sang two songs, one "The Proud Boy" and the other "The Ordinary Road", which was even more generous than the stars.

After all, Fanxing had no shortage of singers and good shows that day. Cao Xuan ordered as many as he could, but Penguin was different, so Cao Xuan sang one more song.

Both songs are classics, and they can be regarded as more inspirational songs, so the whole audience sang.

In particular, Cao Xuan's second song "Ordinary Road" is one of Cao Xuan's most classic masterpieces. It is widely sung, and the employees and audience in the audience are prepared, and the cooperation is extremely tacit. The entire venue is full of mobile phone flashlights , It seems to have become a concert scene.

It's a pity that no matter how he booed, Cao Xuan just said some words of thanks and encouragement, and then stepped down, which made many fans very regretful.

That night, the video clip of Cao Xuan taking the stage was also circulated across the Internet, reaching the top of the headlines on Weibo, Bilibili, Douyin, Zhihu and other platforms, triggering extensive discussions.

Cao Xuan, who was the person involved, didn't pay attention to these, and still had dinner with Xiao Ma and others.

There were two games in total, one was a big banquet, and some senior executives and middle-level cadres were present. Cao Xuan did not speak, but he also attended a toast.

The latter one was a private party, and the place was just a private restaurant. All the veterans of Penguin and the current core executives came, a total of more than a dozen people.

Cao Xuan has no objection to bringing penguins into the game, and he has always respected the concept of making money together.

But behind the scenes of the two giants, there is a third force that is not inferior or even superior.

These are the original words of Cao Xuan, and they have also been regarded as the most reasonable words by institutions such as Sunshine Venture Capital. They are even well-known in the entire investment circle and have been recited by many netizens.

It is not a secret that Cao Xuan has children here, but there are a few who are not very familiar, Cao Xuan didn't talk much, at most he whispered to a few friends such as Xiao Ma.

But this time, Brother Xiao Ma specially bought two bottles of old-fashioned Moutai, specially for Cao Xuan to catch the wind, and Cao Xuan was not easy to take away his kindness.

This is what he likes about Zhihu.

Kuaishou Cao Xuan nodded easily, but if he didn't nod, Kuaishou probably hooked up with Penguin soon, and he even suspected that the two sides had already started contact.

But in fact, at that Internet conference, although Cao Xuan came to join in the fun, he actually suppressed the scene.

Some people gossip about his relationship with Xiao Ma, some analyze Cao Xuan's shareholding and actual control in Penguin, and some people conspire to argue that Cao Xuan and Penguin's top management are fighting openly and secretly, and even planted the resignation of a previous executive. on his head.

Cao Xuan said very straightforwardly: "Zhang Yiming is very cautious. The shareholding structure of Toutiao is extremely strict, and the control over Douyin is even more extreme. Although I have a lot of shares in Toutiao, it cannot shake his fundamentals. "

[Zhao Xiaodao and Liu Tianxian once fought because of Hu Ge, Da Mimi persuaded the fight, and was slapped]

But in fact, Cao Xuan's power and influence in the Internet field is definitely higher than that of many well-known bigwigs.

It's just that this department is divided into Sunshine Ventures, Box Game, and several other large and small institutions, and even partially overlaps and cooperates with Penguin, so it is not as obvious as Ali and Penguin.

There are jokes inside Meituan, saying that Wang Xing is just a professional manager with shares.

He was never afraid of Cao Xuan's side. Judging from the friendship between the two parties, the relationship between Penguin and Cao Xuan must be stronger.

But Meituan can be said to be a company supported by Cao Xuan. Cao Xuan’s institutions account for nearly 40% of the shares, box games account for 15%, and Penguin accounts for almost 10%. He is undoubtedly the largest shareholder.

Boss Cao doesn’t like to drink baijiu very much, and he doesn’t like Maotai, Wuliangye and other Maotai and Luzhou-flavored liquors, but he can drink them, but he prefers the light-flavored Fenjiu.

Cao Xuan sees this very clearly, so he will support the development of these companies, but he will definitely not participate in their competition.

But he was worried about Cao Xuan, interfering with him at critical moments, and helping to intercede with the Toutiao Department. At that time, due to the face and strength of Boss Cao, Penguin would not be unscrupulous.

Regardless of whether it is nonsense or a famous saying, Cao Xuan really upholds this concept, so his popularity is also respected.

After liking it, Cao Xuan went to look at the question about his participation in the Penguin Annual Meeting, and the answers below were even more varied.

When "In the Name of the People" hit the air in 2017, there was a publicity campaign where Cao Xuan and other main creators came to Zhihu to answer some questions, and opened an officially recognized account for each of them.

In addition to Wang Xing’s Meituan, the company platforms such as Pinduoduo, Station B, and Toutiao that have begun to rise in recent years have more or less investment from Boss Cao.

"There is nothing wrong with Kuaishou. They seem to be planning to go public, and big companies like yours are also welcome."

So Cao Xuan's position is very clear, he doesn't care about the competition between the two sides, it doesn't matter if it's bright or dark, and both sides don't need to take him into consideration, just come as you like.

Fans, black fans, liars, pretenders, etc., there are all kinds of people, and there are so many talents......

As for Boss Cao, Cha Cha is one of the shareholders of these two platforms.

Previously, Cao Xuan or his affiliated organizations have personally connected with many platforms such as JD.com, Meituan, and Bilibili. It is because Penguin’s resource flow is too strong, and these platforms also need its support, and the two parties are mutually beneficial.

Cao Xuan and brother Xiao Ma have known each other for many years, and they really don't drink much, but this time they had a good discussion.

The wine is secondary, the main thing is chatting.

"Are you planning to not help each other?"

Ignoring the consequences of posting the question, Cao Xuan clicked on another question about sharing gossip in the entertainment industry anonymously, and then broke the news with his real name.

This is true of Penguin and Toutiao, as well as other similar companies.

At that time, Cao Xuan was invited by the Beijing Yamen. After Cao Xuan came, giants and upstarts from Box Game, JD.com, Penguin, Meituan, and Station B came, and other bigwigs also participated. Grand one.

It was still the issue of anonymous sharing of gossip in the entertainment industry. Cao Xuan felt touched when he saw the revelations, and started spreading rumors to fish in troubled waters.

Good guy, just shoot it, put me in the middle, and spread rumors outside, making it so weird. "

At their age, their children talked a lot, and when they were half drunk, they started Versailles one by one or disliked their children.

To be honest, he really didn't taste any difference between this wine and ordinary Moutai, maybe the wine is cloudier and stickier

During this period, even if he cooperates with a certain party, it is still business-like, and it is a normal cooperation, so there is no need to think too much about it.

"I remember that photo. The photographer took it well. I want to recruit him to our company."

"what do you mean……"

For the answers to the singing questions, there are relatively more fans and fans, and more positive comments, but there are also some critics.

Some were chatting about personal matters, while others were thinking about business matters. One executive chatted with Cao Xuan on a short video by taking the opportunity of a toast. He was quite envious of the popularity of Kuaishou and Douyin.

Cao Xuan now prefers to play Zhihu compared to Weibo, which is mostly advertised by fans.

For example, today, Brother Xiao Ma gave up his seat, although it was out of respect for Cao Xuan, and also a little bit of humility from the host, but if Cao Xuan was not strong enough, he would not forcefully give up his seat, otherwise it would not be for Cao Xuan's face, but for Cao Xuan. It is to roast him on the fire.

After drinking and eating, the banquet ended, Cao Xuan flew back to the capital directly, checked Weibo and Zhihu on the way, and saw his trending searches.

Some people also compare Cao Xuan with some popular singers now, and they don’t know if it’s a reverse play, and the final evaluation is——

There are also people who criticize Cao Xuan and keep saying that he is retiring, but he still comes out to sing two songs from time to time, which can be called standing and standing.

Everyone will analyze the same problem with their own experience and perspective, and some of the conclusions they get are accurate, some are outrageous, and some are ridiculous, which is very fun.

Fortunately, Jingdong has started to rise rapidly in recent years, and Cao Xuan has also reduced some of its holdings, and is currently only one of the shareholders.

Even if it is two horses, Cao Xuan dare not say that he is better than the other, and these two don't dare to say that he is better than him.

If possible, he would even prefer to drink ordinary Moutai. It is said that this wine is at least 30 years old. Cao Xuan is a little worried that it has not been well stored, and he will have diarrhea after drinking it...

[Okay, before I sober up, I have to discuss with Ma Ge, buy Ali tomorrow, take Baidu the day after tomorrow, let Amazon change hands in three days, and beat Wall Street within a week. Everyone is waiting for my good news on Zhihu, It’s okay if you don’t wait]

As a hot field in recent years, short video is also an existence that Penguin has always wanted to intervene. They have also done several projects themselves, and the results are mediocre, so they are thinking about Douyin and Kuaishou.

Some Penguin executives sneered, some looked disdainful, but Cao Xuan looked indifferent, and Xiao Ma, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

[I am in the capital city, just got off the plane, this time old friends get together, sing and drink, very happy]

And as he said, Kuaishou also needs resource support from Penguin, and the entry of Penguin is a good thing for Kuaishou.

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Cao Xuan took his mobile phone and edited a Zhihu answer, the standard Zhihu style.

Although that photo was a snapshot, it might not explain something.

But on Douyin...

In the future, if the two sides want to stop the war, he can come forward to mediate, but he will never favor one side in the competition.

Boss Cao is willing to stand on the perspective of a mature and neutral investor.

[Cao Xuan likes to brag after drinking]

Before this point, he had gotten along well with Toutiao. He even signed a related contract when he invested in Toutiao. This time, he also took the opportunity to express his attitude with Penguin.

For example, at the Penguin Annual Meeting, there were two questions on Zhihu, one was to comment on his singing, and the other was to comment on Cao Xuan’s appearance at the Penguin Annual Meeting.

.........

At that time, Zhihu’s functions were not yet complete, so apart from Zhihu’s internal staff, many Zhihu users didn’t even know that Cao Xuan often spied on the screen and intensively searched for his own related issues.

Boss Cao paused, and glanced at the blushing brother Ma, who unknowingly opened the crab.

An old man joked that this photo was actually quite famous, and it was once circulated on the Internet. It was regarded as one of Boss Cao's peak moments, and it was also an important evidence that many people believed that Cao Xuan was the hidden richest man.

"Don't stop others from cutting the cake, let's make the cake bigger together. Even if the proportion of your cut is smaller, the portion will be more."

Except for Hangzhou Jack Ma and Baidu Li, the others are all Cao Xuan's partners. Brother Xiao Ma is more equal, and the other two are indeed a bit clinging.

Cao Xuan himself said it very modestly, saying that at that time, he was just eating and listening to the bosses chatting by the way, and the photos were all about the angle.

Cao Xuan's words were clear, but Xiao Ma felt relieved.

However, in fact, anyone who understands investment knows that this is nonsense, but Cao Xuan is the one who said this. Under the halo, nonsense has become a famous saying in the industry.

What's more, some people related this matter to the entire Internet and financial fields. Cao Xuan himself was stunned. How could he sing a song and eat a meal, and the Internet and financial circles he created seemed to be about to be shaken.

[Hu Jing gave birth to a daughter for Cao Xuan, who is now studying in the United States]

Afterwards, Cao Xuan cut his account into a smaller one, blocked the news column that was about to fry, and continued to browse Zhihu.

Thinking of some information, Cao Xuan pieced together the general situation in a short time.

Be obedient and listen to the sound, Penguin just wants to cooperate with Douyin, Cao Xuan even expressed his wavering, and everyone immediately understood.

"The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat."

In shopping malls, everyone likes people who don’t eat alone.

"Remember the last Internet Conference, I just took the time to watch a lively meal, and I don't know who took the photo, just me, you and the one in Hangzhou, Mr. Li from Baidu, Mr. Liu from JD.com and Meituan Wang'er was all photographed.

For example, a certain music student analyzed and commented on Cao Xuan's singing from a professional perspective, and concluded that Cao Xuan's performance level has dropped significantly, and the performance effect is more of a bonus of feelings.

At their level, some words are small talk, and some words can be felt tricky just by listening to the sound.

Obviously, Penguin hopes that Cao Xuan will lead the way in the middle like before, so that everyone can make a fortune together.

Cao Xuan said it was pitiful, but in fact, no matter how the two fight, no matter who wins or loses, as one of the major shareholders behind both sides, he is the winner no matter what.

Many financial bloggers or the media have made relevant relationship diagrams, proving that the Internet industry is actually a fish on the plate of the two giants of the Alibaba and Penguin companies.

Cao Xuan has also logged into Zhihu frequently since then, but only dives, rarely likes or comments.

Cao Xuan and Brother Xiao Ma gave way for a long time, but finally they were forced to take the C position. Boss Cao couldn't help but joke.

Not as good as the king of flower songs!
Cao Xuan couldn't hold it back, so he liked the answer, and the account he used was the deity's.

Now Boss Cao has made it clear that with the size of a penguin, the headline department is really not taken seriously by Xiao Ma for the time being.

[Singing is not good, please forgive me, after all, I am only an amateur singer now]

"He wants to open up his posture and keep pace with us."

【Fan Xiaopang was forced to leave by Xianmi】

【Cao Xuan actually had an affair with his manager】

[Big Mimi is already in a relationship, and the object is the director Cao Bo, who is going to leave Jiaxing, which he founded]

[The high officials are just pretending, Cao Xuan is actually a G...]
