China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 785 783. Wouldn’t that outshine the Spring Festival Gala?

Just after Youduoduo held the press conference, the entire e-commerce market exploded.

People didn't expect that Boss Cao would do this. This is completely destroying other people's jobs.

If you do this, how can other e-commerce companies deal with it?
Haven't you snatched away all the customers?

But they didn’t reflect at all, why did Boss Cao dare to do this?

Some people think that Boss Cao is too rich, so he dares to be so generous and is not afraid of the merchants.

Some people think that Cao Yu is so confident because he is so famous and Youduoduo has so many clients.

This is an open conspiracy, but there is no way to deal with Cao Yu.

But they didn't know that Boss Cao came from the bottom and really cared about the people, not just about making money.

Unlike competitors, netizens have expressed online that they have wronged Boss Cao.

They spontaneously expressed on Weibo and Douyin that they would support Boss Cao and Youduoduo.

Major media also praised Cao Yu's behavior.

Many bloggers who used to criticize Youduoduo and were not part of the Internet banking have completely changed the direction of their comments, from criticizing Youduoduo to praising Youduoduo directly.

After this press conference, Boss Cao became the representative of a conscientious enterprise.

"My dear, what you just said is so beautiful."

As soon as Cao Yu returned to the office, Yang Shuxue came up to him and gave him a big hug.

Now she admired this man more than ever.

Although she is a little older, Yang Shuxue intends to be a strong backer for Cao Yu and help her man's career to further advance.

"Sister Shuxue, because I was once an ordinary person, I know what everyone wants."

Cao Yu has always regarded himself as an ordinary person, and he also has some shortcomings, such as being lustful and liking beautiful women.

But he is also a person with a sense of justice, hoping to do something for ordinary people and change some things through his own efforts.

Don't tell others to be kind without having suffered others' suffering!
But this is still the next sentence, which is "How can you know the difficulties of others without experiencing their suffering?"

The needs and sufferings of the people are simply not felt by those who have grown up in a wealthy life.

Yang Shuxue smiled and said, "But you can only buy some food that is easy to transport and store online. What about fresh vegetables?"

"Shuxue, do you have any ideas?"

Cao Yu was stunned and immediately realized that the woman in front of him was probably going to give him some advice.

Yang Shuxue said, "When we met, I was running a chain of audio-visual stores. I have more experience in this area, so I suggest that we open a chain of fresh food supermarkets across the country, just like your idea, and only sell healthy food."

"Shuxue, I didn't expect you to have this idea."

Cao Yuqin really didn't expect Yang Shuxue to think this way. Opening a fresh food supermarket is actually very risky.

But on second thought, the food purchased online can only be a part of it. If we want people to live a good life and eat healthily every day, eating well is the key.

Isn’t there a Sam’s Club in the country?

Doesn’t Ali have a partnership with Hema?
It seems like Sam's Club is packed with people, all the money is made by foreigners and the things in Hema are not cheap either, ordinary people generally can't afford them.

In that case, let’s do it!

This is really following the old horse's path and leaving him with no way to go.

Yang Shuxue smiled and said, "My dear, this is all due to your influence. You are so responsible. As your woman, how can I fall behind?"

"You are really my good wife."

Although Cao Yu has had many women, the only one who can truly think the same as him and always push him forward in his career is Yang Shuxue.

“That’s all I can do now.”

Yang Shuxue understood that she was getting old, but Cao Yu, the domineering president, still stayed with her, so she had to support him in his career.

"My Shuxue is still very beautiful now."

Although Yang Shuxue is already fifty years old and has more crow's feet, in Cao Yu's view, these are all wise.

Besides, as the richest woman, she has taken good care of herself and does not look like a middle-aged woman. She still looks very young and only looks about 40 years old, not old.

Cao Yu immediately took action and convened a meeting that day to establish the Feiyu Fresh Food Chain Supermarket.

The first batch of supermarkets will open 100 stores in the first- and second-tier cities across the country, and will gradually cover other parts of the country and sign cooperation agreements with local agricultural product bases.

Of course, the standards are still mainly safety and quality, and the main focus is green and healthy.

When this project was announced, netizens and ordinary people who have been troubled by food safety cheered even more.

"He wants to help people maintain the bottom line of food safety! Let more people eat safe food!"

And what Cao Yu said when announcing this project moved countless netizens.

That afternoon, Youduoduo's stock price soared wildly. It had fallen 3.2% yesterday, but after the press conference, the stock price directly rose 5.7%.

In addition to the stock price, Youduoduo's sales increased by more than 3 billion that day.

In contrast, the sales of Ali's two stores dropped by more than 2 billion.

Compared with the 21 billion increase in the previous few days, Taobao's sales not only did not increase, but fell by %.

"You are driving me to death!"

Ma Yun, who was ready to accept this huge wealth just two days ago, is now in great pain.

Cao Yu's unconventional operation not only won the hearts of the people, but also helped Youduoduo gain a good reputation and make money, which was even more painful than snatching money from his pocket.

That’s not all. His original plan to set up an online and offline fresh food supermarket was also disrupted.

Ma Yun sat in the chair for a long time, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

Finally he exploded and smashed his cell phone worth tens of thousands of dollars into pieces again.

Still feeling unsatisfied, he let out his frustration and yelled, "Cao thief, did God send you here just to go against me?"

After yelling, although he had vented his anger, he was powerless facing You Duoduo's aggressive attack.

It seems that the only thing we can do is to increase our efforts in film, television and finance.

However, Cao Yu still owns 30% of the shares in the financial company. It seems he needs to find an opportunity to buy back these shares.

Zhifubao's Huabei is developing quite well now, and the profits from lending to enterprises are also considerable.

If this company wants to lend money to ordinary people and increase interest rates, it must kick Cao Yu out!

In the next few days, what Boss Cao said at the press conference caused a stir.

At Cao Yu's suggestion, Jingdong also announced that it would follow Youduoduo's example and make the highest quality requirements for food safety.

"Old Ma, you still don't want to change. You usually say nice things, but when it comes to taking action, you don't want to change at all, haha."

A few days later, Cao Yu was sitting in the office, reading the latest news, and discovered that Ali had not responded to the issue of product quality and safety, so he could only smile coldly.

"Since you don't want to change, I'm sorry!"

He immediately found Chen Chengjie, the general manager of Feiyu Entertainment, and asked, "How are the filming of Ali Pictures' "Legend of Zu" and "The Ferryman" going?"

"Boss Cao, 'Jade Dynasty' has already wrapped up, and 'The Ferryman' is still being filmed. You should know how efficient Wong Kar-wai is. It will take at least half a year to finish filming."

"That's true."

Cao Yu naturally knew Wong Kar-wai's style.

When filming Ashes of Time was in progress, it was delayed again and again, so the actors had to bury and dig watermelons in the desert every day.

With this efficiency, how can it be faster now?
"The Ferryman" started filming in June this year and will be completed in March next year, which is considered to be ahead of schedule.

It seems that the plan to make "The Love Master" compete with "The Ferryman" is a bit difficult.

Feiyu's comedy film "The Love Master" was just finished two days ago, and it will be released either on May Day next year or during the summer vacation.

According to this schedule, this movie is expected to be released at the same time as "Jade Dynasty".

At that time, the showdown between the beautiful Clara and Fan Erbing will be quite exciting.

Although the filming of "Dying to Survive" has been completed, the best time is of course the summer vacation, and it will be difficult to find an opponent by then.

But if you want to make Ali Pictures lose money, you have to find a rival for it.

Then let "The Richest Man in Xihong City" compete with "The Ferryman". If this still doesn't make Boss Ma cry in the toilet due to his losses, then wouldn't his rebirth be in vain?
As for the company's other film "Red Ling"...

Cao Yu tapped his fingers on the table for a while, then asked, "How is Brother Chen Kai's "Legend of the Demon Cat" going?"

"It is said that everything is ready and the filming will start in the early spring of next year."

"That's it."

Cao Yu calculated the time. If the filming starts early next year, it seems that Brother Chen Kai is planning to release the movie during the Lunar New Year holiday.

Well, it's just right to use "Red Ling" and this film to combine them.

It also gives director Zhang Yimou a lot of face.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, has the filming date for Red Ling been confirmed?"

"It's confirmed. We'll start filming at the beginning of next month. We'll shoot some winter scenes first and plan to wrap up in June next year."

"almost."

It will be completed in June and released at the end of the year, so there will naturally be no problem.

Cao Yu also plans to let his daughter Li Yutong, who is on winter vacation, make a cameo appearance in this play to see if the little girl has a talent for acting.

If not, don't let her think about acting all the time and study hard.

Just as he was planning, Zhang Xiaotian walked in and said, "Mr. Cao, the chief director of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala called to see you."

"Spring Festival Gala director?" Cao Yu felt a headache when he heard this program.

In the past two years, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have been getting worse and worse due to the efforts of director Ha. This year, there was finally a director, and they had to solicit works from all over the country. It seems that they are really anxious.

The new director of the Spring Festival Gala is relatively young, less than 40 years old. I guess he is looking for me to ask for a program.

"Please answer the phone."

Cao Yu picked up the phone and a young voice said, "Mr. Cao, sorry to bother you. Are you free these two days? I want to visit you."

"I'm so sorry, I've been busy with a few projects lately and I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."

Cao Yu is too lazy to take care of the Spring Festival Gala. You guys don't do it properly, and it just fails every day. The ratings are not going up. Who can you blame?
Even if I have good programs and good songs, I might as well use them at the New Year's Eve party or the company's annual meeting.

But Cao Yu had just finished speaking when he didn't expect the other party to say directly: "Mr. Cao, I know you are busy, so I will come over now."

"."

Cao Yu just said that he would leave tomorrow, but he wanted to come over now. It would be inappropriate to make excuses to refuse.

After thinking about it, I had to agree: "Okay, I'll wait for you at the company."

A few years ago, "A Bite of China" was very popular, and "Good Luck" and "Poetry Competition" planned by Boss Cao are still popular variety shows on CCTV.

Based on this point alone, the central bank originally wanted to invite Boss Cao to be the planning consultant for the Spring Festival Gala.

But considering Boss Cao's identity, this suggestion had to be abandoned in the end.

However, this year's Spring Festival Gala program team still wants to borrow Boss Cao's name to regain the presence of the Spring Festival Gala and attract the audience back.

The chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala is Lü Yitao, who is just 38 years old and is considered the youngest director in the history of the Spring Festival Gala.

But he wants to give it a big performance in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

When he heard Boss Cao's agreement, he put down what he was doing and rushed to Feiyu Entertainment.

"Mr. Cao, I'm so sorry to bother you."

"Director Lu is too polite. What do you want from me?"

Cao Yu didn't waste any time. He shook hands and got straight to the point.

"Mr. Cao, I was deeply moved by what you said at the Youduoduo press conference last time. Now in China, you may have the most fans."

Lu Yitao said with full sincerity: "But with your status, it is naturally impossible for you to be on the Spring Festival Gala, but if you help write a song or come up with a program plan, I think the ratings will definitely be good."

"Haha, Director Lu, to be honest, I've been focusing on business these past two years. I only write a song occasionally when I feel inspired. It's a bit difficult for you to suddenly ask me to write."

Although the other party was very sincere, Cao Yu decisively refused.

Your current system of censorship for Spring Festival Gala programs is truly frightening.

However, he still suggested: "Next year is the Year of the Monkey. I suggest you invite Liu Xiao Ling Tong to perform in a show. It will definitely get ratings. After all, we all grew up watching his Monkey King."

"Mr. Cao, to be honest, we have thought about your suggestion, but the program he sent, although lively, has no educational significance."

"."

Cao Yu really didn't know what to do.

Well, as a young director, you also want to educate everyone. No wonder so few people watch the Spring Festival Gala.

You don't do what the people like, just for the sake of...
Cao Yu is too lazy to complain or give suggestions anymore, so you guys just continue to “make dumplings and smash them”.

I had previously wanted to suggest bringing the creative ideas of "Ne Zha" to the Spring Festival Gala, but it seems there's no need to say it.

Seeing that Boss Cao didn't say anything, Lu Yitao had to say, "This year's Spring Festival Gala, your company's Phoenix Legend, Zhang Jie, Hu Ge, Tan Weiwei, Feiyang Shao Nian, and Jia Ling all have programs, so if you can help write a song, it can also be considered a publicity gimmick."

Cao Yu said directly: "I'm afraid of being shot."

"."

Although Cao Yu’s words are direct, this is also the style of the Spring Festival Gala.

If someone else said this, it might be a bit too much, but when it came out of Boss Cao's mouth, Lu Yitao was left with only an embarrassed expression.

"Mr. Cao is joking."

He smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Cao's songs are all excellent. Besides, no one can kill your songs."

"Since Director Lu has said so, let me think about it."

Seeing that the other party was so sincere, Cao Yu fell into silence.

Lu Yitao was sitting opposite him, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing Boss Cao's thoughts.

In fact, Cao Yu has a song in his mind that is absolutely suitable for the Spring Festival Gala. It is "Floating Light", which he likes very much and is very grand.

But he doesn't plan to put this song on the Spring Festival Gala. Wouldn't it be better to put it on Fei'e Video's New Year's Eve Gala?
However, this year, the two songs "Yu Sheng Yan" by Luo Tianyi and Qiduo are enough to keep the ratings of the New Year's Eve Gala high.

Good things should be taken out slowly.

As for the Spring Festival Gala, he kept thinking about suitable songs.

The requirements for the Spring Festival Gala are really high. If it is an ordinary song, even if it is not rejected, it will be embarrassing to show it to the public.

After racking his brains, a melody slowly emerged in Cao Yu's mind.

"Xiaotian, go get some paper and pen."

Cao Yu suddenly turned around and gave an order to Zhang Xiaotian.

Lu Yitao was overjoyed. Boss Cao created a song so quickly?
But then he became a little worried. From what Boss Cao said just now, it seemed that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the Spring Festival Gala. He wouldn't just deal with me casually, right?

Otherwise, how could one come up with a song so quickly?
However, Zhang Xiaotian felt that the song his man came up with must be good, so he immediately went to get paper and pen.

Soon, the pen tip was writing on the paper, almost without stopping. In just over ten minutes, a song was written.

"Let's see if it works."

Cao Yu casually pushed the song in front of the Spring Festival Gala director.

"Mr. Cao is indeed talented and worthy of his reputation."

Although he complimented her, Lu Yitao still hurriedly took the song and planned to review it himself first.

"As Wish, the name is okay."

Lu Yitao could understand the music score, but he looked at the lyrics first, because the lyrics were the most strictly censored at the show.

"You are the long road, the light in the foggy mountains."

It seemed that he felt nothing at the first few sentences, but the more he looked down, the expression on his face changed from tranquility to shock, and then to shock to ecstasy.

Just for the last line "Every day in this prosperous era", this song can appear on the Spring Festival Gala.

And the other sentence, "The mountains and rivers are fine, the fireworks are ordinary, but you can see as you wish", made him unable to help but look up at Cao Yu.

This verse alone demonstrates the Chinese people's legacy of struggle and extols the country's growing strength.

If this kind of song is not suitable for the Spring Festival Gala, what other songs are suitable?
The music is melodious and majestic. Boss Cao is simply amazing. How can he write such a song in just over ten minutes?

This is simply a musical genius!
Lv Yitao stood up excitedly and said, "Mr. Cao, thank you so much. With your song, I believe this year's Spring Festival Gala will definitely bring surprises to the audience."

"One song cannot save the Spring Festival Gala."

Cao Yu shook his head secretly in his heart and said, "I can give you the song, but I have two requirements."

"Mr. Cao, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."

"First, I will decide who will sing this song. Second, on the Spring Festival Gala, after this song is sung, let the host thank our You Duoduo. As for the fee, haha, there's no need to say more."

"this."

Lu Yitao felt that Boss Cao’s first request was not a big problem.

The singer recommended by Boss Cao should be fine.

But the second requirement is that sponsorship of the Spring Festival Gala costs a lot of money, at least several million. Do you want to change a line of advertising for a song?
But looking at this song, he liked it very much.

Not to mention that this song is really suitable for the Spring Festival Gala. Just based on Boss Cao's current reputation and fame, it will increase the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala by more than ten percentage points.

He looked at the song again, and finally stamped his feet: "Then I will go back and apply to the leaders. With Mr. Cao's reputation, they should agree."

After that, he asked, "Mr. Cao, who are you going to arrange to sing this song?"

The original singer of this song is Wang Fei, but it was another person who made it famous.

Cao Yu immediately named his candidate: "It's the double champion of last year's "Happy Boys" and this year's "King of Masked Singer", Zhou Di!"

"Him? Mr. Cao, isn't this guy a little young?"

Lu Yitao knew Zhou Di. He was a good singer, but he was too unknown and too young.

It seems inappropriate to let such a young person sing solo on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
"It's him!"

Cao Yu's attitude was firm and there was no room for negotiation.

"Then do as Mr. Cao wishes."

Faced with such a strong and talented boss, Lu Yitao, the director of the Spring Festival Gala, had no choice but to give in.

Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but be surprised that the central bank actually agreed to all of his boss' requests.

Sure enough, my man is a real man.

Seeing the other party agreed, Cao Yu smiled secretly in his heart: "Little Potato, I guess starting from next year, you will enter the rhythm of 'Zhou Di is very busy'."

But soon, he was thinking about another thing in his mind.

That is, if I want to invite Liu Xiao Ling Tong to participate in this year's Feiyu Group's year-end party...

If this program is combined with a performance of this year's hottest movie "Ne Zha", it would be considered a benefit for the employees who have worked hard for a year.

But, if this is the case, wouldn’t it overshadow the Spring Festival Gala?
