Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 444 I speak for myself
Isn't the purpose of doing business to make money?

Now you tell me that making more money is not necessarily a good thing?

How can you know that it is not a blessing if you lose your horse, right?

Facing Song Honglin's suspicious eyes, Lu Yiming explained: "The Internet concept stock bubble in Pretty Country is too serious. A new company with only a few employees can just create a website without even a profit model, so dare to find it. Investors want tens of millions of dollars in financing, such a crazy behavior, it would be strange not to blow up the market. Internet winter is coming.”

Song Honglin was shocked and asked quickly, "Will this affect us?"

If Lu Yiming's words were so sensational before, Song Honglin would definitely think that Lu Yiming was lying, but after seeing Lu Yiming's series of operations with his own eyes, Song Honglin's belief in Lu Yiming is like a Christian's devotion to Jesus .

Lu Yiming laughed immediately and said, "Anyway, I already have the investor's money in my pocket, and it's impossible to spit it out. The ups and downs of the valuation will have little effect on us. After all, I have money in my hand, so don't panic." .”

Song Honglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No wonder you agreed so quickly when you were negotiating with some investment bank representatives just now."

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention the collective action of the three major investment banks on Wall Street, it is difficult not to attract attention.The news that Tianyin Internet Technology Co., Ltd. received financing quickly spread through various channels.

A new company that has been established for less than a month is actually valued at 4000 million US dollars, which immediately makes many entrepreneurs who can't even get 100 million US dollars in investment envy and hate.

This world is so unfair!
Kailin has watched a lot of news in recent days.

These news are all about Lu Yiming.

She didn't expect Lu Yiming to make such a big commotion again.

So, without stopping, she came directly to the door and asked for an exclusive interview with Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming agreed.

Whether it is Mingyuan Technology or Tianyin Network, it also needs publicity in the beautiful country, and it is necessary to build a good relationship with the local media.

Lu Yiming accepted an exclusive interview with Kailin in his office.

For this interview, Kailin carefully arranged her appearance before going out. Her wavy hair made her look extraordinarily charming and gorgeous, and her white shirt looked very capable. I knew she was a very "career-minded" woman.

The two parties sat down, and after a short self-introduction, Kailin asked: "It's really shocking, you actually combined music and online communities, and achieved great success. In addition to your Tianyin MP3, It’s so addictive. My sister has one of these.”

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, and said in a gentle manner: "Then first of all, thank you for your sister's support for our products."

Kailin said: "As far as I know, your Mingyuan Technology used to make memory, why is it suddenly making MP3?"

Lu Yiming jokingly said, "Probably because of dreams."

After hearing this, Kailin felt that Lu Yiming had become more approachable, and couldn't help but tease: "Isn't it because of making money?"

Lu Yiming shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't care if I make money or not. I don't like money at all. I am in the music business because I want to make friends with users. After all, I am also a music enthusiast."

To do business, you still have to take care of the user's emotions, especially the young people in the beautiful country, who like to be unconventional.

If Lu Yiming dealt with them as a businessman and entrepreneur, they would never buy it.

So you have to pretend to be as stupid as they are in order to get their support. After all, this is a country where you have to compete with your competitors to see who is more stupid than even the president.

Seeing that there seemed to be a look of disbelief in Kailin's eyes, Lu Yiming immediately said righteously: "Really, I liked listening to music very much before, but at the same time I was eager to share my thoughts with more people who like music. Unfortunately, in reality It’s not easy here, but fortunately, the emergence of the Internet has given me a glimmer of light.”

It was only then that Kailin realized Lu Yiming's good intentions and said, "So that's the case. Everyone knows that Tianyin Internet Technology Company has just received investment from several Wall Street giants. I would like to ask if the company will have any new moves recently. ?”

Lu Yiming said flatly: "It's a commercial secret, no comment."

"Ok."

Kailin then asked: "You are now a successful businessman. You started your own business at a young age and became a billionaire. For those young people who are very confused about the future, do you have anything to say to them? "

The expression on Lu Yiming's face became more serious, and there was even a faint sacred radiance in it.He held his head up slightly, with a pious expression on his face, and said: "The most important thing is not to give up your dreams easily, chase what you like, let go of your imagination, in this turbulent era, maybe you are the next Playing with the tide."

The interview time was not long. After all, there were many professional and commercial things that Lu Yiming would not tell Kailin, and what he could talk about was just repeating old tunes.

However, let’s talk about it, Kailin is a very skilled female reporter, when she wrote the report, she added all kinds of embellishments, saying that Lu Yiming talked and laughed happily with Wall Street bosses, had a good personal relationship with the world’s richest man, Bill Gates, and was a major shareholder of Yahoo ... Various buffs are stacked on top of each other, various protagonist templates are placed on top, and thousands of words are written in a report, which makes Lu Yiming a little suspicious of life.

Of course, it doesn't matter what Lu Yiming thinks of this report.The important thing is that almost overnight after this report was published, Lu Yiming's name became known to countless young people with dreams of a beautiful country.Even his Tianyin community fans suddenly increased by tens of thousands.

Seeing that he suddenly had so many fans, and all of them had dreams, Lu Yiming had a flash of inspiration.

Qianqianjingting has always encouraged originality and the discovery of grassroots stars, which is similar to the way of Douyin Kuaishou in later generations, so as to win over as many "dreamers" as possible.Seeing that after the report was published, many people were expressing their emotions in the community, longing for success and fame, Lu Yiming thought, why not find a spokesperson for Tianyin Community and Qianqianjingting, so that these people who yearn for success can see Hope?
As we all know, the more dreamy people are, the easier it is to be cut leeks. This is also the fundamental reason why those with vested interests oppose lying down.

You have nothing you want, how can I tell you about consumerism?
Lu Yiming is going to awaken the dreams of young people in the 90s!

Lu Yiming called Su Zhenge and said, "You arrange a team for me, and I want to shoot a Tianyin MP3 commercial."

When Su Zhenge heard this, he immediately patted his chest and assured: "No problem, I can find a few directors who make movies, let alone just shoot a commercial, and make movies. Which big star are you looking for? As long as the money is in place, other None of that is a problem."

Recently, he has been hanging out in Hollywood, not doing much business, but he has made a lot of contacts, and he can be regarded as half of the entertainment industry.

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "It's so boring to find a big star, and it costs money. I plan to do it myself."

"You come by yourself? Are you kidding me?"

In Su Zhenge's words, even the punctuation marks revealed suspicion.

Lu Yiming said straightforwardly: "I'm not kidding, I have tens of thousands of fans in the Tianyin community now, why can't I do it?"

The fans he was talking about were naturally those "good young people" from the beautiful country in the Tianyin community.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether they received a happy education in high school, as long as they bought Mingyuan Technology's products, they are "good students" in Lu Yiming's eyes.

It was rare for Su Zhenge to be serious, and persuaded him: "Don't be impulsive. For commercials, it's best to find reliable people, especially spokespersons. You have to find influential and well-known stars. I'm not afraid of offending you." If so, you go there in person, how many people in the beautiful country know you?"

Although Lu Yiming can be regarded as "famous" in the beautiful country, at best, everyone has only heard of Lu Yiming's name, and they have never seen what Lu Yiming looks like.

Lu Yiming was eloquent, saying: "I understand the truth, but this kind of commercial has to be spent millions of dollars before it is shot. Am I stupid? What are you doing with such a waste of money for no reason?"

Su Zhenge was speechless for a moment.

Brother, this is asking for a spokesperson. Do you count money like this?
However, it was Lu Yiming's company after all, so Su Zhenge couldn't persuade him any more, so he could only say, "Well, then I'll find one."

At this time, Qiao Ke was beside Su Zhenge. Just as Su Zhenge hung up the phone, Qiao Ke asked, "Is it Mr. Lu's phone?"

Su Zhenge said helplessly: "Yes, he said he wanted to be Tianyin's spokesperson himself, and asked me to find him a director."

After hearing this, Joker immediately said, "Isn't this nonsense? You don't want to find a star for the endorsement?"

Su Zhenge said: "That's what I told him just now. If he doesn't listen, what can I do? This guy usually spends money very generously when he does other things. How come such an important thing is started Save money? I don’t understand. Forget it, it’s his own company anyway, let’s go and see how he shoots.”

"Ah."

Soon, Su Zhenge found Lu Yiming a director who specialized in commercials.

Advertisement is probably the most annoying thing for contemporary Internet people, and it may not be one of them.

Whether it's the precisely placed pictures and texts in the circle of friends, or the [-] seconds before the start of the TV series, it makes people feel bored.

These advertisements are rough and low-quality, and they are almost shouting slogans to make you buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, and hardly add luster to the brand, and even have some counterproductive effects, making people resolute not to buy these products.

However, there are some advertisements, some of which are different.

These advertisements are generally made by great directors. Its direction is not so clear, and it does not induce you to buy from the beginning to the end. Instead, it is full of the unique personal style of each director.

What Su Zhenge found was such a director with a personal style.

The director's name is Thanonchai, a Siamese, and his name is translated into Chinese as Thanonchai.

Thanonchai, born on October [-], [-], graduated from the Department of Architecture of Ladkrabang University. He used to be a graphic designer. In [-], he switched to a professional advertising director.

In [-], he filmed the promotional film "Magical Siam" for the Siam Tourism Bureau, and won the Best Art Director Award from the Siam Art Director Association.

This chunky guy with full beard but ridiculously high hairline won 26 heavyweight design awards in [-] alone.

Of course, these are all things to say, so let’s not talk about it for now.

He is in his early 30s this year, and this time he came from Siam to study in the beautiful country. He met Su Zhenge by accident, and the two got along very well. He also happened to hear that Lu Yiming was going to shoot an advertisement, so Su Zhenge naturally brought him along. come over.

"Tanochai, this is what I told you, my partner, Mr. Lu Yiming, a business genius from Xia Kingdom."

Tanochai looked Lu Yiming up and down, and said approvingly, "Very good. Hello."

"Hello."

Lu Yiming shook hands with Tanochai.

Tanochai asked, "What commercial do you want to shoot?"

Lu Yiming took out a folder and said with a smile, "Look, I've already written the script."

Su Zhenge said depressingly: "You can hire yourself as the spokesperson, and you have to write the script yourself. You are determined not to let others make money."

Joker directly took the script in Lu Yiming's hand and said, "Come on, let me appreciate it first. I speak for myself? Is this the theme of the advertisement?"

Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Joker gave a thumbs up and said with admiration, "You wrote this ad too? Absolutely!"

"What? Let me see."

Seeing that Qiao Ke praised Lu Yiming's own advertisement, Su Zhenge was very curious and snatched the folder away.

A few seconds later, Su Zhenge's face changed drastically, and he blurted out: "This advertisement is awesome! Mr. Lu, you are simply all-rounder!"

Afterwards, Su Zhenge patted Tanochai on the shoulder, said with a sad expression, "Tanochai, you should be glad that Mr. Lu did not enter the advertising industry, otherwise your job may not be guaranteed."

"So exaggerated?"

Tanochai didn't believe it, thinking that Su Zhenge and Qiao Ke were exaggerating.

However, when he read the advertisement and saw the action scene design above, the way he looked at Lu Yiming changed!

"This...Mr. Lu, let's shoot now!"

Tanochai himself couldn't wait to see the effect of this advertisement.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "This is too fast."

"Not fast, not fast at all! Start now."

"alright."

Lu Yiming doesn't care when he shoots, maybe now that Tanochai is full of inspiration, he can shoot better results.

There are actually three versions of the ad "I speak for myself". The version that is seen by the most people is the simplest. Boss Chen is sitting in a room and speaking.This time Lu Yiming is going to shoot this version.

In the furnished room, Lu Yiming in a suit and leather shoes, holding a Tianyin MP3 player, read the advertisement.

"You only smell my perfume, but you don't see my sweat; you have your rules, I have my choice; you deny my present, I decide my future; you laugh at me for having nothing, not worthy of love, I pity you for always waiting; you can underestimate our youth, and we will prove whose era it is. Dreams are doomed to travel alone, and doubts and ridicules are inevitable on the road, but so what? Even if you are covered in bruises, you must live Beautiful. I am Lu Yiming, and I speak for myself."

In just one afternoon, the filming was completed, and Tanochai spent another day editing all the film and sent the sample to Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming looked at his handsome and stylish self in the commercial, and said to Su Zhenge, "Fortunately, I don't like men, otherwise I'd be fascinated by myself."

Su Zhenge: "..."

Damn, I've seen shameless ones, but I've never seen such shameless ones!

This kind of words can be said, is there a bottom line?

"Very well, that's it, you go help me contact the TV station and place an advertisement."

Su Zhenge nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

He was very efficient, and on the third day he called Lu Yiming and told him that he had won the golden advertising spots of three mainstream TV stations.

In the beautiful country, everything can be measured by money. Even the presidential throne is occupied by the rich. Naturally, all TV stations are private. As long as they are willing to spend money, any advertising time of any TV station can be won .

As soon as the ad was launched, it immediately caused a sensation in the United States.

The advertisement is full of affirmation and recognition of young people, and Lu Yiming himself is very young, so he immediately received a lot of support.

Regardless of the Xia Kingdom or the Beautiful Country, the elderly "adults" always dominate the society. They suppress the aspirations of the young people, draw "red lines" everywhere, and do not allow young people to cross the threshold.

Under such a depressing atmosphere, too much dissatisfaction has accumulated in the hearts of young people.

Lu Yiming's advertisement simply spoke to their hearts.

Immediately, Lu Yiming's name began to appear on the headlines of major newspapers and media. Countless people were discussing his story. The extensive heated discussions brought countless debates and massive attention.

Tianyin MP3 sales skyrocketed again.

Diamond Corporation, in the conference room, Ferdinand Mitford looked at the advertisement on the TV, then at the financial statement in his hand, and then focused his eyes on a group of company executives in front of him.

Everyone trembled, feeling that they were going to be baptized like a thunderstorm.

However, to everyone's surprise, Ferdinand Mitford was very silent, with no decent expression on his face.

The huge office was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of everyone's breathing and heartbeat.

The atmosphere was very depressing.

After a long time, Ferdinand Mitford opened his mouth slowly and said in an ancient voice: "When the times are about to abandon you, they won't even greet you. Guys, we are falling behind."
