China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 157. 155. See How I Hype You Up
Hearing Liu Yifei talking about buying a house in the United States, Cao Yu was taken aback for a moment.

"House? Here?"

He knew that the price of houses in Huaxia was going to increase, but he really didn't know what the situation in the United States was like.

"House prices in the United States are not expensive now. Buying a house is not only convenient for living, but also an investment. It's pretty good."

"What? You want to be the hostess?"

Cao Yu suddenly remembered Liu Yifei's nationality and joked.

"If you want, I'm fine."

"You're fine, Auntie has a problem."

Cao Yu smiled, but it is not impossible to buy a house here, but now is not the time.

He doesn't know much about the United States, but he knows about the subprime mortgage crisis, so he said: "It's not suitable to buy now, and it's useless to buy a house empty. Wait two or three years, maybe the housing prices in the United States will be cheaper. It's not too late to buy."

"House prices will fall? Impossible." Liu Yifei was not convinced.

"Anything is possible."

Cao Yu said, looking at the vast sea, it is the end of 05, and the economic tsunami will come in more than two years, do you want to get more assets in your hands?
The two just held hands and chatted, seeing that the sun had already set on the sea level, and the sky was slightly darker than before.

"Let's go, let's go back, I have to catch a flight tomorrow morning."

"I want ice cream."

Liu Yifei didn't want to go back, seeing a convenience kiosk not far away, she was a little greedy.

"Let's go."

The two of them had just arrived at the pavilion, which was no longer within Liu Xiaoli's sight, Liu Yifei immediately said: "You will leave tomorrow, kiss me."

"So it wasn't for the ice cream."

Cao Yu hugged the girl's slender waist all at once, then, after looking at each other for a moment, they finally kissed each other.

Anyway, the United States is very open, and no one pays attention to this loving young man and woman.

Only Liu Xiaoli, who was lying on the chair, suddenly realized that she could not see her daughter. She was about to stand up, but sat back immediately.

"There are so many people here, I'm sorry they can't do anything, anyway, Xiao Cao is leaving tomorrow, so let them stay alone for a while."

Even though I thought so, I still felt uneasy that the cabbage that had been raised for many years was about to be raped by pigs.

Two days later, Modu Airport.

As soon as Cao Yu walked out of the passenger passage, he saw his friend Pang Yuan, but there were seven or eight people in black suits behind him. Everyone stood upright, and they looked like they had been soldiers.

"This is?"

Cao Yu greeted him, then looked at the person and said curiously.

"Boss, these are my comrades in arms, and now they are your bodyguards."

After Pang Yuan finished speaking, he said to the eight people behind him: "This is the boss everyone wants to protect."

"Hello, Mr. Cao!"

The eight people's faces were calm, and they yelled loudly together, and then stood behind Cao Yu.

"I'll go, do you want to find so many?"

When Cao Yu got on the plane, Pang Yuan called and asked him to pick him up. He didn't expect the other party to bring so many people at once. He looked around at the passengers who were attracted by the loud voices of eight people, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

This reminded him of those lesser-known artists who were surrounded by a group of security guards in a chrysanthemum formation to protect them many years later.

After walking out of the airport and getting into the car that Pang Yuan had prepared long ago, Cao Yu said: "Brother, one or two bodyguards are enough, not so many."

Pang Yuan said seriously: "Brother, you are worth over [-] million now anyway, I think this is a bit small."

"No, I don't like publicity."

Cao Yu shook his head. He is not a traffic star, and he doesn't like chrysanthemums, so he said immediately: "You pick a driver, and you are picking a good one. Adding you, that's enough. The rest can be arranged by the company."

"enough?"

"enough!"

"Okay, I'll think about it."

The boss said so, and Pang Yuan had no choice. He reviewed the situation of several comrades-in-arms in his mind, and said: "There is a man named Qian Shaobing, who used to be a scout, and his skills are not bad. , the driver, Xiao Wang, has also driven in the army, can these three do it?"

"can."

Cao Yu has no objection to this.

"Where are we going now?"

"Go to Hangzhou, and in three days it will be the West Lake Discussion of Swords."

When he arrived in Hangzhou, Cao Yu visited the real estate market first, and felt that a house called Zhongda Wuzhuang by the West Lake was not bad, but the price was also very gratifying.

It was more than 1 when the market opened, and now it has risen to about [-].

Cao Yu knows very well that a house by the West Lake is a place that many people dream of. Living here, you can see the scenery of the West Lake in the morning, which is also a symbol of status.

It may be that the shadow of being dominated by the house before rebirth is still there. Cao Yu has a soft spot for houses, and now that he has money, why not spend it?
Immediately spent more than 800 million, booked a villa with a good location and an independent garden, and then returned to the hotel.

West Lake Discussion of Swords has been held by Ma Yun since 2000 under the banner of "Friends of Jianghu".

Except in 04 when Ahri was in the bottleneck period of management, it was not held. There have been four games before, and this is the fifth time.

Among them, Jin Yong came twice, and Ma Huateng came once.

Cao Yu and Liu Qiangdong are both here for the first time.

Ma Yun paid great attention to this West Lake Discussion of Swords. Not only did he invite the former president of the United States to help out, but also Yang Zhiyuan, the CEO of Yahoo, and the bosses of Sohu and Wangyi.

Originally, this event was called "friends from the rivers and lakes", but the previous West Lake Lunjian was all hyped up by Ari, coupled with the celebrity effect he invited, forcibly blowing up the popularity of his company.

But later, it became more and more deviated from the original intention, and then it was discontinued.

If Cao Yu didn't want to come to Hangzhou to have a look, buy a house, and meet Ma Yun by the way, he really didn't want to come.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival of the lunar calendar, there are huge crowds of people around the West Lake. Today, there are two of the eight scenic spots of the West Lake, the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon and the Pinghu Autumn Moon, all of which are related to the moon.

Today is also the fifth West Lake Discussion of Swords, held at Haihua Hotel in Hangzhou. The theme of this year's Discussion of Swords is: Integrity Online Business, Huaxia Power!
"Brother Lu, I think this debate on swords might be a Hongmen Banquet."

An unremarkable soup dumpling shop, Cao Yu, Lu Huateng, and Liu Qiangdong chatted while eating small crab dumpling soup.

"possible."

Lu Huateng also nodded, and said: "I participated in the West Lake Discussion of Swords before. Lao Ma is a very thoughtful person, and he is very good at building momentum. Be careful that he will make trouble for you. After all, Jingdong is his biggest competitor." .”

"What are you afraid of? It's really not good. If he dares to make trouble, I will deal with him!"

Cao Yu drank the crab roe juice from the soup dumpling, and said indifferently.

"can."

Both Lu Huateng and Liu Qiangdong knew that Cao Yu had many ideas and courage, so they immediately agreed.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, the banquet hall of Haihua Hotel was full, and many people came for the name of the former president of the United States.

The appearance of such a big man not only caused a sensation in Hangzhou, but also the media and journalists from other places came here early, for fear of missing the big news.

In the hall, most of the bigwigs in the Internet industry, as well as some business people, gathered here.

It's just that Yahoo is going to search now, so the boss of Baidu, Li, didn't come.

"Laoma does have two brushes when it comes to hype."

The three of them took the invitation letter and entered the hall. Cao Yu looked at the banquet hall where exciting music was playing, and smiled at Lao Lu and Dong Ge beside him.

"This is also a skill."

Lu Huateng smiled faintly, and after registering at the sign-in place, a beautiful woman wearing the Ahri logo led the three of them to the front row.

As soon as the three of them sat down, the bosses of Sohu, Xinlang, and Wangyi came over.

"Mr. Lu, hello, you are here too."

"Your Weibo has been very popular recently."

"This is Mr. Cao from Flying Goose Video, he is really young and promising."

Several people boasted about their business and handed back their business cards to each other. All of this was photographed by interested reporters.

This is a meeting of Internet giants. This kind of scene is quite rare. Some reporters have even published a headline: "Six Internet giants, under the call of Ari, gathered in Hangzhou."

After taking the money, there is always work to be done.

Not far away, Ma Yun, who was receiving some more important guests, looked at Cao Yu from a distance, and said in her heart, "In a moment, let's see how I can hype you up!"

At two o'clock, accompanied by applause, a hostess from Xiangjiang Phoenix Satellite TV appeared on the stage.

The hostess stood by the podium, holding a microphone, and said: "Dear guests, especially those from far away, good afternoon, everyone."

After the opening remarks, the host announced loudly: "I invite the CEO of Ahri, the chairman of the board of directors of Yahoo China, Mr. Ma, to announce the opening of the long-awaited fifth West Lake Lunjian!"

Most of the people at the scene were Ahri's employees. When the boss appeared, there was a burst of applause that was stronger than that of the host.

Under the spotlight, Ma Yun stepped onto the podium with brisk steps: "First of all, welcome to come, the Internet has changed the way of life, communication, and business. Therefore, I launched this West Lake Lunjian to share the truth of the Internet with you. concepts and can develop together.”

Then he talked about the future of the cooperation between Ahri and Yahoo, and boasted that he is a hero, and he wants to win with nothing.

There were bursts of applause from the audience.

"Sure enough. But this operation is indeed as fierce as a tiger."

Although Cao Yu felt that this person was not very good-looking, he still admired him very much. I have to say that this brain and mouth are really worth learning.

After some opening remarks, Ma Yun finally announced: "The Fifth West Lake Discussion of Swords officially begins!"

Under the more intense applause, everyone thought that Ma Yun would invite the most important person in this sword debate, but unexpectedly, his voice changed: "Before inviting today's distinguished guests, according to the usual practice, there will be an interview session."

The bosses at the scene were taken aback, Lu Huateng and Liu Qiangdong looked at Cao Yu, meaning, invite us later, are you really going up?
When all the guests were expecting who would be invited to interview this time, Ma Yun said: "In February this year, a video website called Youtube appeared in the United States, and in China, there was also a video website. In half a year, it has already occupied a huge market share, and some netizens jokingly said, "Western Youtube, Dongfei Goose", which shows the influence of this video website."

"I go."

Hearing this, Cao Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the first person introduced by Lao Ma was himself.

"Interview, hehe, then come on!"
