Chapter 709: The Second Young Master Follows His Mother, the Wronged Youku

Gubei No.1
Zhao Liying was a little amused and helpless after once again chasing away her son who wanted to have a free barbecue.

Normally he is too lazy to sit and would rather lie down, but now he becomes energetic when he sees delicious food. Not to mention that he is so young and cannot eat it, even if he can eat it, she will punish him.

Wei Yang was also watching the fun with a smile on his face. It must be said that although the Second Young Master Wei was lazy and greedy, he had a really good temper.

If other children couldn't get food, they would have cried and made a fuss. Although he looked angry, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He just clung to his mother's legs and looked at her eagerly, drooling from the corners of his mouth. He looked both funny and pitiful.

Zhao Liying felt soft-hearted, and her usual temper disappeared without a trace. She picked up her son and comforted him.

"Be good, you really can't eat this. Mom will ask Auntie to make you something else delicious, okay?"

It was not known whether the Second Young Master Wei understood or not, but he just refused to leave, not even when the confinement nanny came to carry him.

He kept staring at the barbecue on the table and drooling. Every now and then he would stretch out his arm to grab it. When he couldn't get it, he would get angry. He would glare at his father and point at him and mutter something as if he was cursing him, and then continue to stare and drool.

It was not until Wei Yang and Zhao Liying finished all the barbecue by hiding and eating that he pouted and burst into tears.

"Wow………"

Wei Yang was convinced. He was surprised that the boy could hold back his tears for so long. If it were the hot-tempered Third Young Master, he would have burst into tears a long time ago. He was also speechless and wondered if this boy was just pretending to be good in order to get a free meal, and only revealed his true colors when he saw that there was no hope at all.

Although they are still young and cannot be sure of many things, Wei Yang still tends to believe that the second child is the smartest among the children.

It's just that the child is too lazy and greedy, so it's not obvious. It's because Boss Wei likes to observe details and can see some clues by comparing his three sons with each other.

The child takes after his mother in this respect. He appears harmless on the surface, but he is actually very cunning.

But as I said, this child is too lazy. He is too lazy to act even if he has ideas, or he spends all his time on being lazy and asking for food.

Therefore, Boss Wei is sometimes not sure whether this kid is really the smartest or he is just trying to unleash his potential just to be lazy and satisfy his cravings.

"Stop crying and watch the game with your dad."

Zhao Liying handed her son to Wei Yang and planned to go to the bathroom to take a bath. Boss Wei held his son skillfully and weighed him with his hand.

"This baby is getting heavier again."

"How can I not get fat if I eat every day and don't move?"

Zhao Liying complained and then left the father and son to play by themselves, while Wei Yang pinched his second son's chubby face.

This child was the heaviest when he was born. He loves to eat and is lazy, so he is also the fattest among his sons. His little face is round and chubby and feels great to the touch.

His mother left immediately. His father was heartless and only knew how to pinch his face. Young Master Wei howled for a while, but when he realized it was useless, he slowly stopped.

A smile flashed across Wei Yang's eyes. When a child cries, the more you compromise, the more doomed you will be. The child, having tasted the sweetness, becomes more and more adept at this trick.

Of course, some children are very temperamental and the more they cry, the more excited they become, and there is nothing you can do unless you coax them.

But Young Master Wei is a cunning type. Most of the time he cries with a purpose and he is also lazy. If you ignore him, he will find that crying is useless and stop because he is tired.

Zhao Liying left directly because she understood his character. Wei Yang didn't take it seriously and teased him to divert his attention.

However, even though he didn't cry, he was still angry because he didn't get to eat the barbecue.

After he stopped crying, he started to make all kinds of trouble to prevent his father from holding him. He sat on the sofa and sulked, staying away from his father. He ignored Wei Yang when he spoke to him.

How could Boss Wei be controlled by such a tiny baby?
He just greeted the confinement nanny, and then took some baby snacks from her, such as milk bars, soft biscuits, soluble beans, cod sausage, etc.

They are either high-end brands, specially ordered from outside, or homemade. They are easy to digest, taste good, have high nutritional value, and are healthy and safe.

Even so, this snack is supplied in limited quantities for fear that children will eat too much due to greed.

But because of this, snacks are still very valuable in front of Young Master Wei. As soon as Boss Wei takes them out, they start to crawl towards him unconsciously.

While watching the game, he entertained the child with snacks. When Zhao Liying came out of the shower, Wei Ershao was sucking on the milk stick and was held by his father while watching the game.

It’s not surprising that her son was conquered by snacks. What Zhao Liying is more curious about is whether the child really wants to watch the game?
Does he understand?
Wei Yang looked at Zhao Liying helplessly. He had just finished praising the child for being smart like his mother, but Zhao Liying started to act stupidly.

How could a child of this age possibly understand a ball? He was just watching so many colorful little people and a ball running around on TV, and his own father was startled and jumped around. He thought it was fun and sat beside them to join in the fun.

But then again, humans are inherently competitive, and football matches are full of speed and confrontation.

Even if children have no idea about the rules of football, they still understand biological instincts such as running and grabbing.

Wei Yang estimated that this was also an important reason why Young Master Wei and even some young fans were interested in football.

Thinking of this, Wei Yang felt that he had to be careful in the future so that his child would not develop the concept of physical confrontation and fight with other children. However, when he thought about his second child's lazy character, he thought it was unlikely.

As long as you don't disturb his rest or steal his food, you shouldn't have to beat him up...right? !
Wei Yang glanced at Zhao Liying who had already started to snatch the milk stick from his son, and he was a little uncertain. Who knows if the child takes after his mother, besides being treacherous, or if he takes after the fierceness of the one who hides a stick at home and is ready to kill someone...

The game was over not long after it was played. Manchester United, which had been in turmoil this season, enjoyed a winning streak after the new coach Solskjaer took office.

However, Boss Wei's mood is still not good, because he knows very well the future outcome of Solskjaer and Manchester United.

So rebirth is not always a good thing. For some things, if you know the ending in advance, you will lose the sense of anticipation.

Boss Wei watches football to support his favorite team and make up for the regrets of his previous life.

In my previous life, I worked for others and didn’t have much free time. I watched many highlights and reports of games, and there was not much time for me to watch live broadcasts in peace.

In addition, there were also some unexpected surprises of the butterfly effect, which felt very strange from the perspective of a reborn person.

Zhao Liying, who was applying a facial mask nearby out of boredom, grabbed the remote control and searched for a drama to watch herself.

Wei Yang hugged his son and sighed. Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi, and even Fan Xiaopang all had this problem.

There are other TVs at home, as well as mobile phones, tablets, and computers, but she just doesn't use them and has to snatch the remote control from him. Could it be that watching TV shows with the snatched TV broadcast rights has an emotional bonus?
In fact, Wei Yang and his friends don’t necessarily watch dramas on PPTV when they watch them at home. Such a large platform does not need another user. They also watch variety shows and dramas on other platforms at home.

However, PPTV still appears most frequently, mainly for high-quality dramas and variety shows.

According to relevant statistics, PPTV, a TV membership app, is the best-selling app with a huge lead in membership numbers. Some people have analyzed that this is actually related to the fact that families pay more attention to audience and cost-effectiveness when watching TV shows.

After all, you can watch anything with your mobile phone. You can go to any platform to watch the drama or program you want. There are several people at home watching TV, so it is too extravagant to buy memberships of several platforms, and it is not convenient to borrow or rent memberships on TV. You must choose a platform that costs less, has more quality products, and caters to the preferences of the whole family.

PPTV, which is famous for its content, has a decisive advantage in this regard and can basically meet most of the needs of families, so it is very popular among TV users.

Another point is that PPTV has cooperated to varying degrees with well-known TV manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Hisense, and TCL.

Especially Xiaomi and Hisense, both of them default to PPTV as the first platform. Xiaomi members on the TV side are simply synchronized with PPTV members and support some functions of Hualuo.com. This is a strategic cooperation.

Massive amounts of high-quality content + cooperation with terminal manufacturers ultimately made PPTV a huge hit on the TV side.

The next focus of PPTV TV is to develop the children and toddler market, which is also the recognized development direction in the industry.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer people watch TV.

Even the middle-aged and elderly are being drawn away by short videos and live-streaming apps. Those who don’t use mobile phones don’t understand smart TVs and prefer to watch traditional TV stations.

Therefore, in the future, the people who will spend the longest time in front of smart TVs will still be infants and primary school students.

How to capture the hearts of these children and develop their commercial potential will be a major issue for TV manufacturers and platform TVs.

Many platforms, out of pride, or due to their ability, or concerns about factors such as return rate, only focus on those markets where they can eat big bites of meat, but ignore the bones where there is less meat and it is difficult to chew.

Wei Yang would not underestimate these meat bones, as the boneless meat tasted very delicious.

Besides, everyone wants to eat the fat meat, and it is hard to say how many bites people can get if there is a real fight over it. There is little fight over the meat bones, and if you can occupy a certain market or even monopolize it, the amount of meat accumulated will be considerable.

Especially now that we are in an upward period, the overall environment is good, there is a lot of meat, and everyone has enough to share.

When the market development reaches a bottleneck and moves from an incremental state to a stock state, there will not be enough meat to eat. At that time, the existence of meat bones becomes more important.

Compared to chasing TV series, Zhao Liying actually prefers watching variety shows, but if there is a good drama, she will also watch it with great enthusiasm.

For example, this year PPTV's opening drama of the year, "The Longest Day in Chang'an", was even more popular than "Ode to Joy 3".

This drama basically has the original cast, and it is rare that neither Blue Whale nor PPTV participated in the production. It is a genuine foreign drama.

PPTV's "foreign dramas" usually refer to dramas that are not produced by Blue Whale.

A stricter concept is that dramas produced by companies that are not part of the Blue Whale system, such as Tangren, Mixing, and Bingyang, which have strong backgrounds. Even dramas produced by long-term cooperation companies such as Noon Sunshine and Wei Yang Investment Company are often not considered to be "foreign dramas."

This also makes PPTV's threshold for foreign dramas very high. After all, the company has enough high-quality content, and if you want to spend money to purchase it from outside, you must have some skills.

Therefore, the overall quality of PPTV's purchased dramas is very good, and there are many high-quality hits.

Over time, people in the industry and even the audience have some related knowledge and rumors.

What kind of rubbish drama is not worthy of PPTV buying? Whoever bought the [foreign drama] flopped, the person in charge of purchasing the drama should be responsible for the [foreign drama] and should just get out of here. Blah blah blah.

In short, PPTV's "foreign dramas" have been mythified to a certain extent, and it has been derived that anything that can make PPTV spend money must be a great product.

This statement is definitely an exaggeration!
In fact, the number of foreign dramas that PPTV buys each year is limited, but it is not a small number. After all, it is a large platform and the annual demand for content is very high.

Not every [foreign drama] is a hit, and there are many that have average performance, which is understandable. Not every shot of Blue Whale was a hit.

But everyone only focuses on those films that have achieved good results. The crews and the stars also like to use this as an important honor for publicity and marketing, and then various marketing accounts lead the pace, and slowly a similar concept is formed.

Just like what iQiyi's Misty Theater must produce excellent works, Noon Sunshine must produce excellent works, and a certain point of view's masterpiece must pass through Sanjiang and so on.

This is a case of confusing cause and effect and spreading false information. If you look closely, you will find that they are not that magical. They just have a relatively higher lower limit and it is common for them to fail.

However, PPTV did not refute the rumor and even seemed to be fanning the flames.

After all, Blue Whale's products are already a golden signboard, and [foreign dramas] will create a brand effect and bring their own traffic, which will completely establish PPTV's image of content being king. This is a good thing for the platform.

At the same time, this also helps PPTV to gain an advantage to a certain extent when competing with other platforms for dramas.

After all, PPTV's recognition of "Foreign Drama" has become an honor, so it's inevitable that the crew will be somewhat emotionally biased. At the same time, there's an extra layer of halo around it, and more publicity and exposure will help the series' performance, so the crew will also be tempted.

This is a bit like the early years when local TV stations had not yet developed and CCTV was the only dominant player.

All TV dramas are proud to be broadcast on CCTV. Everyone will look up to them. Moreover, CCTV has a bigger platform, better results, and brings more benefits.

At that time, many crews would rather pay a low price in order to be on CCTV. PPTV was not as exaggerated, but under the same or similar conditions, most crews would rather choose PPTV.

"The Longest Day in Chang'an" was snatched away by PPTV from Youku.

The two parties even started contacting each other right from the start of the project, and the role of the second male lead was also inserted by Youku. As a result, PPTV suddenly came out and snatched the cooperation away.

As for the previous "Story of Yanxi Palace", in fact, it was not only PPTV that wanted to cooperate with Si Yatou.

But as soon as Wei Yang waved his hand, the little girl, who already had someone in her heart, immediately obeyed.

Moreover, at the beginning of this year, the dead girl also made a drama, "The Legend of Haolan", starring Wu Jinyan.

Originally, he still wanted to cooperate with PPTV, but PPTV didn't like him very much and the conditions they offered were really average. So he turned back and chose Youku with resentment and reluctance.

Even though his "fiancée" was snatched away, the current boyfriend still treats her as PPTV's "spare tire". While cooperating with her, he also flirts with PPTV.

I acted as if I was just being polite to him, I still love you in my heart, and I'll go back if you need me.

Youku was disgusted enough that even the usually low-key boss Gu couldn't help but make a few remarks in his circle of friends, which were then posted online and became a hot topic.

PPTV did not respond. They have taken all the advantages, but they don’t even let people complain. Even Huangmao would not do that.

Just like Boss Wei is fearless in the entertainment industry, except when facing Mark Chao, his aura is weaker. There is nothing he can do, he feels guilty…
