Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 469: When you lose money, you must publicize it
"Why do I feel like there are so many jealous people?"

After Chen Ran glanced at the text message on his phone, there was a helpless and bitter smile on his lips.

For example, in the text message Yao Ming sent him, he congratulated him on the success of the open beta of the game he represented, and that he would definitely become rich in the future. He also praised Chen Ran for his unique vision, and he had received a lot of investment in both World of Warcraft and Qidian. Great value for money.

But between the words, Chen Ran always felt that the other party had a sour taste, as if he was saying: Brother, why don't you call me when you send money?

After all, Dayao's classmate wanted to take Chen Ran to start a company together more than once, but the latter kept refusing him for various reasons.

This convinced Yao Ming that Chen Ran had an idea to make money, but he was just unwilling to share it with others.

"Good luck, it's really just good luck!" He had to reply, "The Internet is a rising industry, and I'm just a lucky person standing at the forefront."

Chen Ran knew very well that in the future, he would have to quietly hide some of his investment behavior behind the scenes, and could no longer be so ostentatious in the market.

After all, as China's superstar, every move he makes easily attracts great attention.

First, Qidian.com, and then agent for "Warcraft", this vision is too accurate.

At this time, Chen Ran's cell phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and felt enlightened.

It seems that Dayao's classmate is no longer satisfied with the exchange of text messages and directly made a phone call. You can also roughly guess how anxious he is now.

After Chen Ran answered the phone, the two exchanged a few words, and Dayao couldn't wait to get to the point.

"Brother Chen Ran, I have something to discuss with you..." Yao Yao pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Have you heard of LeTV? Its founder is Jia Yueting."

"Uh... I think I've heard of it."

At this moment, Chen Ran's face looked extremely wonderful, and at the same time, he silently reached out and rubbed his forehead.

If someone stood in front of him and observed carefully, Chen Ran would have an expression on his face that was hesitant to speak.

Really, Chen Ran had really thought before that in order to deceive others and show that his investment vision was not so magical, he wanted to use this "Accountant Jia" as his shield.

Then he casually invested a few million, and a few years later, under the gaze of many media, he cried out in tears: "Jia, RNM! Go back to China and pay back the money!"

He can be sure that his acting skills can definitely defeat those little fresh faces with paralyzed faces in future generations.

But Chen Ran was a little hesitant about whether to bring someone in to share the burden.

He feels that he is a kind person and cannot be cruel.

When he was hesitant, classmate Dayao found him and even took the initiative to mention this person.

You all heard it, right? This was brought up by the other party on his own initiative, not because I wanted to trick him.

Chen Ran can't be stupid enough to remind the other party that LeTV and Accountant Jia are a big trap, and you must not jump into it.

Otherwise, if you are really good at predicting things, you will attract further attention from interested people.

"Brother Yao, I have heard of this person. He is very eloquent and well-spoken. Moreover, LeTV was just established this year." Chen Ran said calmly, "I can only say that it has potential. As for what it can achieve in the future. The situation is not something you and I can decide.”

"However, I firmly believe that China's Internet market will be very large in the future, larger than the entire Europe, and on par with the United States."

"Brother, let's put it this way... I wasn't very interested in the Internet industry before, but after seeing how successful you were, I changed some of my ideas. People from LeTV have approached me as an agent, but I don't know if they have any I've been looking for you." Yao Ming asked expectantly.

"I've looked for it! But I'm still hesitant and asked them to go back and wait for news." Chen Ran said lightly. He knows that Accountant Jia is a talented person who specializes in cheating wealthy people. He especially likes to target celebrities, especially those in the entertainment industry.

Of course, Accountant Jia will definitely welcome sports superstars like Chen Ran or Yao Ming.

"What... do you think?" Dayao said nervously.

He admitted that from his own perspective, the 31-year-old man named "Jia Yueting" was indeed very charming, with extraordinary eloquence and profound thoughts. The PPT he produced was so beautiful that there was nothing wrong with it.

Dayao was very excited, but because he was unfamiliar with this industry, he felt a little uneasy, so he found Chen Ran.

If Chen Ran is also optimistic about the prospects of "LeTV", then their joint investment is not promising.

"Brother Yao, I have no problem here..." Chen Ran paused and said, "If nothing else happens, I should consider LeTV as a key investment target."

"In short, apart from LeTV, I can't find a more suitable investment target."

"Okay, then it's settled!" Yao Ming nodded excitedly.

Since the other party has said so, then I will have no hesitation.

"You know, I really like Mr. Jia's words!" Dayao said thoughtfully.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Ran asked curiously.

"Let us suffocate for our dreams!" Yao Ming said excitedly, "You know, Mr. Jia has a charm about him, and you can't help but be infected by him."

"Yes... Anyone who can start a business from scratch must be a bit skilled." Chen Ran laughed.

If "Accountant Jia" had no personal charm, could he have deceived so many wealthy people? Which one is not a human spirit!

If he hadn't opened God's perspective, it would have been possible for him to be fooled by "Accountant Jia".

Chen Ran didn't point it out, and murmured in his heart: Brother Yao, you want to invest in LeTV yourself, you can't blame me, and I also invested real money, so I also suffered losses, okay?

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran stretched.

The shield is already there!
There are also people who accompany me and get tricked!
Chen Ran was in a very good mood.

After a pause, he called the company's operations staff again.

Today, the public beta of "Warcraft" has come to an end, and the number of people online has basically stabilized at around 75.

But what is certain is that when the public beta ends and official fees begin, many people will definitely leave. If there are 40 people online, it is already very valuable.

But Chen Ran knows very well that as long as he provides a stable server environment for Chinese server players and handles various scripts and plug-ins in a timely manner, the number of people online will inevitably grow like a snowball.

It is foreseeable that wealth will also accumulate rapidly.

Chen Ran thought for a while, dialed the agent's number, and told the other party that he could talk to the founder of LeTV about investment matters.

If you lose money in the future, you can completely use IMG's media resources to build momentum.

Well, yes, be low-key when you're making money, and make a big deal about it when you're losing money.
