China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 614. Maybe God wants to use our mobile phones

On the day Cao Yu and Ali signed the contract, Ma Yun asked reporters to come. He expected that Lu Huateng would definitely make this call.

"Brother Lu, look, are you anxious again?"

"How can I not be anxious? Didn't we agree to bring down Ahri? Your cooperation with him has increased the share price of Ahri."

Lu Huateng was of course anxious. The daily transaction volume of Meituan and Youduoduo platforms is now in the billions. If Ali got a share of the pie, he would naturally be unhappy.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Brother Lu, are we brothers?"

"Of course, we have been good brothers for many years."

"Then do you believe me?"

"I believe it, but I really can't understand why I'm working with Ahri this time."

Lu Huateng and Ahri have a bad relationship, but it started at the beginning of the millennium, so he really wants to see Ahri fall.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Brother Lu, I talked to someone some time ago. If Ahri really falls, what will be the consequences?"

"As a result, we will unify mobile payment and online shopping!"

Lu Huateng expressed his huge ambitions in the Internet without any concealment.

"If we succeed and Penguin is the only one in mobile payment, does that count as a monopoly?" Cao Yu asked with a smile, "Also, what if I infiltrate the enemy?"

"Monopoly. Penetrate the enemy"

After hearing these two sentences, Lu Huateng fell silent on the other end of the phone.

Talked to someone? Who? Someone higher up? If so…

Cao Yu knew that he was deep in thought, and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry. Our brothers' interests are always the same. I've thought about it. Even if I don't cooperate with him, he may cooperate with foreign capital. And I will only cooperate with Zhifubao. Taobao should be suppressed and will continue to be suppressed."

At this point, Lu Huateng finally felt that Brother Cao was right: "Brother, I understand what you mean. It turns out that you are thinking long-term. With Youduoduo connected to Zhifubao, the transaction volume is expected to increase."

"Aren't you a shareholder of Youduoduo?"

"Yeah, how could I have forgotten about this, haha."

Lu Huateng was in a good mood and laughed: "Brother, when are you coming to Shenzhen? I heard recently that Ali is planning to make a game. Let's think of a countermeasure."

"Making games? Didn't he say he would rather die of starvation than make games? Does he have no dignity left?"

"It's about making money, what's the point of face?"

"By the way, Brother Lu, how are you and 360 doing?"

“The lawsuit is still going on.”

"When I'm done with my work, I'll help you two get together."

"Sure, I'm a little annoyed by this matter. This will improve your prestige and benefit You Duoduo."

"Then I'll call you when I get back to Yanjing."

Cao Yu has learned about the 3Q War during this period. Both sides have been fighting for a year and neither of them wants to fight anymore, but they have to hold on for the sake of face.

If I were to mediate, they would definitely take advantage of the situation to back off.

Then Feiyu Group and 360 reached cooperation in network security, advertising and other aspects, which will only benefit the company's development.

After finishing the phone call with Lu Huateng, Cao Yu sent a message to Ni Ni.

Before evening, Ni Ni sneaked into Cao Yu's room like a thief.

Ni Ni is now more attractive and charming than when Cao Yu first met her.

Unfortunately, in this one-on-one situation, Ni Ni was no match at all. He surrendered after only two rounds.

After finishing, Ni Ni helped Cao Yu wash off the sweat and said with a smile: "Dear, do you know? I feel that Shishi has feelings for you."

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Shishi? Impossible."

"How is it impossible? She and I are best friends now, and I can feel it. Women's intuition is very accurate."

Ni Ni smiled wickedly and said, "Dear, Shishi is actually very beautiful and has a great figure. Do you want to try to pick her up?"

"Great body? You know?"

"Of course we know. We have taken a shower, so we know everything clearly."

Ni Ni came to Cao Yu and said with a smile: "Besides, she has never had a boyfriend. This is a rare animal..."

"Rare animals? That's for others..."

Although Cao Yu didn't care in his heart, he still asked curiously: "Great figure? Compared with you?"

"Each has its merits." Ni Ni straightened her chest and said, "Are you attracted to her?"

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. I never thought that she would have someone she liked in the future."

Cao Yu remembered that Shishi fell in love with Wu Qilong while filming a movie this year and then got married.

It’s just that Wu Qilong is older than me. I remember there was a joke on the Internet because of the age difference between the two.

At Liu Shishi's wedding, Wu Qilong said: I was born in 70 and Shishi was born in 87. She was still in kindergarten when I was in college. I must love her well.

Zhang Yimou laughed and said proudly: I was born in 50 and my wife was born in 81. I am 11 years older than my mother-in-law.

A mathematician named Yang took off his reading glasses and said slowly: Don’t argue anymore. When I was a junior in college, my mother-in-law was not yet born.

Everyone immediately shut up and fell silent.

Although it's a joke, if the two of them were really together, to be honest, it would be a pity for her to marry an old man from Taiwan.

"You are laughing so happily? And you said you are not moved? You are saying one thing and thinking another..."

Ni Ni didn't know that Cao Yu was thinking of this joke, and thought that he had become interested in Liu Shishi.

Cao Yu enjoyed the gentle touch of her slender jade fingers on his body and smiled: "No, I just thought of something else."

"Then don't regret it"

Ni Ni smiled cunningly and thought that based on her understanding of the boss, as long as Liu Shishi was willing, the boss would definitely not be able to resist.

The next day, Ni Ni, who had not returned home all night, returned to the crew.

"Where did you go last night?"

When Liu Shishi saw Ni Ni coming back with a radiant look on her face, she came up to her and asked.

"Asking questions knowingly!"

Ni Ni rolled her eyes at Liu Shishi and suddenly smiled: "Shishi, I was chatting with the boss last night, and he said that he actually likes you very much, but he thinks you are a good girl and he can't bear to hurt you."

"Did he really say that?"

Liu Shishi blurted out, and then felt a little shy because of her appearance just now, and hurriedly said: "I don't want him to like it."

"Just as hard as a mouth!"

Ni Ni was very satisfied with Liu Shishi's reaction just now and felt that there was a way.

However, she also understood that if she said more, it might backfire, so the two of them began to study the script.

After watching the plot for a while, Liu Shishi suddenly asked, "Ni Ni, how can you perform the charm of a woman?"

She is usually a bit cold, and her boss also said that she likes to be reserved, so naturally she wants to be as charming as Ni Ni.

"Charming? That's a long story."

"Then keep your story short."

"It's because I've been with the boss that I've become charming."

"."

Liu Shishi stopped talking.

After a long time, it turned out to be Cao Yu again.

If you want to be charming, is it really impossible to do without a man?
After seeing Ni Ni off, Cao Yu left Xiangshan and went straight back to Yanjing, preparing to go to the grassland to attend Linghua's wedding.

The news of Feiyu and Ali's cooperation also reached the United States at this time.

Goldman Sachs, East Coast of the United States.

"What's going on? Why is Ali cooperating with Feiyu Group? And Huaxia Cao has invested in Ali's payment company?"

Goldman Sachs CEO John Waldron was stunned by the news.

He kept waiting for the stock price of Ali to fall, then injected capital himself, bought at the bottom, and then acquired most of Ali's shares and took control of China's earliest mobile payment platform.

But what no one expected was that Ali first separated this platform from the head office and established a new company.

He didn't want Ali without a payment platform, and Ali's stock price had risen sharply at this time. If he bought shares in Ali, not only would he have to spend more money, but it would also be meaningless.

What’s even more infuriating is that Feiyu Group actually became the second largest shareholder of this new company.

In this way, how can I make money from the Chinese people!

"Is this Huaxia Cao really so amazing? Did he know in advance that I wanted to invest in Ali?"

Then he thought that such words were really unbelievable: "It is possible that Jack could not hold on any longer and took the initiative to find that Chinese Cao. It seems that I pursued stability too much. If I had known this, I would have invested a long time ago!"

But there was no point in regretting it. He thought for a long time before saying, "Then wait until this company is listed on NASDAQ!"

West Coast, Apple.

"This Jack Ma took my money, but our mobile phones still haven't opened up the market in China!"

Jobs, who was thinner than last year, was looking at the newspaper and was furious.

Starting this year, he wanted to develop a mobile phone that could defeat Huawei, so he worked hard despite his deteriorating health.

Apple now only has some markets in the United States and Europe, but Huawei sells its products to almost the entire world, even in the United States, where it has a 25% market share. He has no way to deal with this, because Huawei's recently released P5 is thin, light, and beautiful, and its system and functions are not inferior to Apple's.

That’s not it. The person who is most angry now is Jack Ma from China. He said nice things at the beginning, saying that he would make Apple phones take the high-end route.

As a result, sales barely increased.

Seeing Jobs lose his temper, Cook hurriedly advised: "Steve, the doctor said you can't get angry."

"How can I not be angry? That Jack Ma cheated me, and now he is working with that Hua Xia Cao. It's so infuriating!"

Jobs knew this, but he couldn't help it.

"Your health is important."

Cook was really good to Jobs. He really didn't want to see Jobs so busy every day.

He hesitated for a moment and suggested: "Steve, why don't we talk to Penguin and ask them to stop charging the recharge fees for WeChat and QQ. Let's open up the market first."

"you you."

When he heard that his most trusted assistant wanted Apple and Penguin to discuss cooperation, he became furious.

If you admit defeat to the Penguin now, do you still need to talk to Hua Xia Cao in the future?

Not only is he a shareholder of Penguin, he is also his own most hated enemy, with whom he would never make peace, even at death.

"Absolutely not. Apple will never admit defeat!"

Thinking of Hua Xia Cao, Jobs almost shouted out the plan, and suddenly he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fainted on the ground.

"Steve! Steve!"

Cook was terrified instantly. He called out twice and found that Jobs was still unconscious. He had a bad feeling and ran out of the office, shouting, "Doctor! Doctor, come quickly!"

Because Jobs was in poor health, Apple always had a full-time doctor on hand. They came to the CEO's office, hurriedly listened to his heartbeat, and then said to the assistant, "Hurry and send Mr. Steve to the hospital."

In the luxurious ward, the thin Jobs was lying on the bed, with several instruments beside him beeping all the time.

Cook was extremely anxious at this time. He had been staying by Jobs' side for a whole night and had hardly slept.

But Jobs just wouldn't wake up.

Suddenly, he heard a faint voice: "Tim."

"I'm here, Steve, I'm here!"

Hearing the voice, Cook sat up straight and came closer to Jobs: "Do you want to call a doctor?"

Jobs shook his head and said, “Tim, God is calling me.”

"Steve, no, you're going to be fine."

"Tim, don't talk, just listen to me first."

Jobs raised his hand to interrupt Cook, then said weakly: "Tim, what Huaxia Cao said is right. The future is the digital age and the intelligent age, so mobile phones will become the most important electronic products for mankind.

I will hand over Apple to you. You must make it great and make it the best mobile phone in the world."

When Cook heard these words, he realized that Jobs was leaving his last words, and hurriedly said, "Steve, you'll be fine. You'll be fine."

Jobs' eyes were full of regret and unwillingness, but he had indeed been tortured by illness in recent years and was almost exhausted.

Coupled with yesterday's news about Feiyu Group and Ali, he was hit hard and realized that he was powerless to turn the situation around.

He ignored Cook's words and continued to remind him: "In the past few years, Huaxia Cao has been ahead of us in mobile phone design. I am very unwilling, but I have exhausted myself. Now, I want to rest. Maybe God wants to use our mobile phone."

At this point, he turned his head, stared at Cook, who had a miserable face, and finally said: "Tim, you have to promise me that you will never make peace with Hua Xia Cao. We, Apple, are a great company and we must not lose!"

"."

Cook really didn't want to agree to this request. He didn't want to go against the trend.

But he didn't want to leave Jobs with any regrets, and after struggling for a long time, he decided to follow his friend's advice.

"Steve, I promise."

"it is good"

Finally, a trace of relief flashed in Jobs' eyes, and then he turned his head to look at the ceiling: "Tim, I saw God, and he waved to me again."

……

In China, Cao Yu returned to Feiyu Entertainment and immediately took all the members of the Feiyu Dance Troupe to the grassland.

In three days, it will be the wedding of Linghua, one of the members of Phoenix Legend. Boss Cao promised her that he would make the wedding a grand one and give her a song.

A luxury RV led the way, followed by five Toyota minibuses, which were filled with beauties from the dance troupe, as well as costume designers, makeup artists, etc.

On the bus at the front, Reba and the captain sat together, looking at the two behemoth Mercedes Benz RVs in front of them with envy.

After looking at it for a while, she asked, "Captain Song, how much do you think the boss's RV is worth, it's so beautiful?"

Song Qian didn't know much about RVs, but seeing Reba's envious look, she smiled deliberately and said, "Why? You want to live here?"

"I'm not that lucky..." Reba complimented, "If anyone should live there, it should be the captain."

"Haha, this time we're going to help out at Sister Linghua's wedding. We're going to rehearse the show and we're all staying together."

Song Qian also wanted to accompany Cao Yu, but as the captain of the dance troupe, she not only had to manage the team members, but also had to prepare the programs, so she basically couldn't leave.

"That's it."

Reba's heart moved. This was a rare opportunity to get in touch with the boss.

Since the captain doesn't live with the boss, if I find an opportunity to secretly flirt with the boss at night, is there a chance...

But she couldn't say this, otherwise the captain would definitely watch her closely.

She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Captain, what show are we going to perform this time?"

"I will be dancing and singing with Sister Linghua. I will know the specific location when we get there."

The song Cao Yu wrote for Linghua has not been announced yet, and Song Qian is not sure about it now.

"Oh…"

Reba nodded, turned her head and secretly glanced at Nazha, thinking: "I must be better than you!"

On the grassland in early March, everything has sprouted new buds, and it is also the season for cattle, sheep and horses to reproduce. In the main film, Cao Yu looks thriving.

The group arrived at Linghua's hometown, where a grand wedding was still being prepared.

"Congratulations, Linghua. This dress is very beautiful."

When Cao Yu came here, Linghua was trying on traditional Mongolian costumes, with happiness all over her face.

After that, he took out a big red envelope and handed it to Linghua: "This is a gift for you, open it and take a look."

Linghua took it and felt that there was definitely no money in it. She opened it with a smile and found that it was indeed a song.

"The flaming Sarilang?"

Linghua took a look at the title of the song and was stunned at first. Judging from the name, this should be a Mongolian song. How could the boss even write such a song?

I looked at the lyrics again and was even more surprised.

Both the lyrics and the melody have a grassland style.

"The boss is really omnipotent. He can even write a song like this."

After reading it, she couldn't put it down, especially the line "The most beautiful flower on the grassland is the fiery red Sarlang...A lovelorn person, with him in your heart, there is a kind of happiness called everlasting."

These lyrics, combined with my wedding, are so appropriate.

Linghua reinstalled the song and asked, "Thank you, boss. It must have taken you a long time to write this, right?"

"Not long, actually."

Cao Yu smiled slightly. It only took him more than ten minutes to write it on the way here. It was indeed not long.

As he said this, he glanced at the curious Zeng Yi and said with a smile: "Don't look at it. You don't have to sing this time."

Zeng Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "My partner is getting married, so I can finally take a break. I'm just curious about what the boss's song would sound like to make Linghua so happy."

"We'll know when the time comes."

Cao Yu didn't say it out loud, but this song would only be meaningful if the bride sang it to the groom on the wedding day.

He then said to Linghua, "Linghua, the dance troupe will not only dance with you this time, but also be your bridesmaids. In addition, you and the groom should also sing the song "The Temptation of the Groom", which will make the atmosphere more lively."

"OK…"

The boss had mentioned this matter before, but he didn't expect that the dance troupe full of beautiful women would not only be bridesmaids, but also dancers. This kind of arrangement is probably the first time in Feiyu.

"I must work hard in Feiyu!"

Linghua made this vow again in her heart and then looked at her partner.

Zeng Yi understood and nodded slightly, which meant: "You have the final say!"

At night, Cao Yu did not stay in the yurt, but in a more comfortable RV.

“Is Jobs dead?”

He was lying on the sofa in the car, drinking tea and browsing Weibo, when he suddenly saw this piece of news.

However, compared to the previous life, this incident was reported very calmly and did not cause a sensation. There was no Apple fan expressing condolences on Weibo.

"Haha, I don't know what would happen to Apple without Steve Jobs..."

Cao Yu has never actually met Jobs, but has only met Cook. He doesn't know what methods Cook will use after taking office.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a figure sneaked up to the RV, looked at the giant, mustered up the courage, and gently knocked on it...
