China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 134 Only times create heroes, no heroes make times (please subscribe!)

"Director Chen, Director Cao on Sina Weibo wants your contact information, and I have already given it to him."

"Okay, I understand, is there anything else?"

"Yes... Director Chen, if you have nothing to do recently, it is best not to come to the company."

"Huh? What's going on?"

"A group of reporters and fans of Yifei squatted downstairs of the company."

"...Okay, you should also pay attention to your safety."

Just now, Liu Yifei took her cats and dogs downstairs for a walk. When she came back and saw Chen Dong still answering the phone, she couldn't help but ask: "Who is it again? Why do you have so many calls in one day? And why is there no one?" Call me."

"Zhong Lifang..."

Just as Chen Dong finished answering a question, a new call came in.

He showed a helpless smile towards Miss Liu, who also shrugged and ignored him.

I lay down on the sofa and petted the fat and lazy orange cat.

Chen Dong glanced at her and saw that the years were quiet and peaceful.

However, the ringing phone in his hand quickly brought his thoughts back to reality.

He looked down and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

Then it should be Director Cao from Sina Weibo, right?
  He pressed the answer button.

"Is this Director Chen? I'm Cao Guowei from Sina Weibo."

"Hello, Mr. Cao, I am Chen Dong."

"Hello, Director Chen. I'm sorry to bother you, but it's not rude, right?"

"It's not abrupt, it's just a bit unexpected. By the way, I wonder what the purpose of Director Cao's call was?"

Chen Dong didn't like to practice Tai Chi with others, and since he could more or less guess the other person's purpose, he simply asked straight to the point.

"Haha, since you, Director Chen, are quick to talk, I won't show off. I would like to invite Director Chen and Miss Yi Fei to have dinner. Do you two have time?"

Don't you just want to invite them to join the Sina blog? Just ask them directly. Why go through so many twists and turns?

and many more……

Sina Blog seems not to be listed yet, right?
  Well, the name hasn't been changed yet, so it probably hasn't been uploaded yet.

Then do you want to get involved?
  Er, no, I should say, is there any chance to get involved?

In an instant, Chen Dong's invitation to Cao Guowei changed from psychological resistance to expectation.

"Haha, it's rare for Director Cao to treat you. Why don't I have time? But as for Yifei, I have to ask her for her opinion."

On the sofa not far away, when Miss Liu heard Chen Dong say her name, she was as alert as the cat in her hand, and she immediately turned her head.

"What do you want to ask my opinion about?"

"Cao Guowei from Sina Blog wants to treat us to dinner."

After Chen Dong ended the call, he walked towards Miss Liu.

"Well, why did he invite us to dinner?"

"Of course I'm interested in your huge popularity..."

Before Chen Dong finished speaking, Liu Yifei rushed to answer:

"He wants us to join Sina Blog?"

"Yes, so Sissi, do you want to go?"

"I'll go if you go."

"Okay, I'll reply to you later."

After saying that, Chen Dong was ready to have some fun with the little lady in front of him...

As a result, the atmosphere that was finally created was interrupted by another phone call.

Chen Dong cursed and took out his cell phone. When he saw the caller ID, he lost his temper instantly.

"Hey, Mom..."

……

Blog China was founded by Fang Xinguo.

He was also named the father of blogging in China.

But the father of blogging is in a bad mood right now.

As for why it sucks, it's not that the server is overwhelmed and the site crashes.

But there is no money in his fucking account, and he can't even spare the funds to maintain the server.

What? The $10 million raised last year?

That money was fucking gone.

We are almost unable to even pay our employees, so we can only continue to lay off employees.

What? Continue to raise funds?

It's a good idea.

But the problem is that investors are not fools. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current blog China is a paper tiger that is strong on the outside and hard on the inside, the kind that may break with just a poke.

In addition, the two real evil tigers of Sina Blog and Tengxun Blog are constantly squeezing its living space.

It's too late for investors to avoid it, so how can they easily provide him with financing?

In the office, Fang Xinguo made phone calls one after another, but was rejected again and again.

Later, even he himself could no longer see hope and even felt a little discouraged.

When he walked out of the office, he still had more than forty employees left, but now they all looked at him blankly.

If it were normal, Fang Xinguo would always say something, even if it was just to give everyone some blood.

But now, he opened his mouth, but no words came out of his throat. Could it be that he just had a dream?

……

Tengxun Blog also invited Chen Dong. They were more direct and explained the situation on the phone.

Chen Dong also declined them directly on the phone.

Not that they didn't treat themselves to a meal.

Mainly Tencent blogs, their lifespan is not very long.

What Cao Guowei values ​​​​is the huge wave of traffic brought by Chen Dong and Liu Yifei's publicity.

The flow rate will decrease as the heat slowly dissipates.

Therefore, Chen Dong and Liu Yifei can not be anxious, but Cao Guowei has to be anxious.

The next day, at noon, in a five-star restaurant in the capital.

"Haha, Director Chen and Miss Yi Fei are really talented and beautiful. Thank you very much for the honor today. Come on, let me toast you first."

"Dr. Cao is too polite..."

While Chen Dong was drinking with him, Liu Yifei naturally drank only juice.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The conversation at the dinner table started.

Cao Guowei directly ridiculed Fang Xinguo, bluntly saying that the more he works on his blog in China, the worse it is. A whole day has passed since the system was paralyzed yesterday, and it has not been maintained yet. This is not to drive away the few old users. ?

Although Cao Guowei said this to praise the popularity of Chen Dong and Liu Yifei.

But the effect is actually unsatisfactory.

Because Chen Dong and Liu Yifei didn't feel that the roles they played in this incident were very impressive, and they were not worthy of gloating.

Of course, they only thought that Cao Guowei was drunk and high, but they did not rise to the level of evaluating his morality.

With this premise, Cao Guowei boasted about their Sina blog again, and then finally revealed his purpose:

"Director Chen, Miss Yi Fei, since I have said this, I will no longer play charades with you... On behalf of Sina Blog, I sincerely extend an invitation to you two, hoping that you can join our Sina Blog family. Come here."

Since Chen Dong and Liu Yifei agreed to attend the banquet, they naturally never thought of refusing.

And as they nodded, the atmosphere of the luncheon also reached its climax.

At this climax, Chen Dong asked Cao Guowei a question: "Dr. Cao, does Sina Blog still accept financing?"

As soon as he said this, the smile on Cao Guowei's face disappeared, "Director Chen, are you asking for someone else?"

"Of course it's me."

"I'm sorry to tell Director Chen that Sina Blog does not need financing for the time being."

"No chance at all?" Chen Dong asked with a smile. It was like a joke between friends, but you could hear the seriousness in his tone.

This time Cao Guowei was silent for ten seconds before answering Chen Dong again: "Let's put it this way, is Director Chen's Dongcheng Pictures willing to accept financing?"

"I don't want to."

Chen Dong's answer was also the answer that Cao Guowei wanted to tell him.

Both of them smiled, then raised their glasses in a tacit understanding, and then skipped the topic.

It was as if no one had mentioned it just now.

On the way back, Liu Yifei asked Chen Dong: "You seem to be disappointed that you can't invest in Sina Blog."

"It's hard to say that I'm disappointed, but it's a little bit disappointing."

Chen Dong was 50% drunk at the moment, lying in Miss Liu's arms in the most comfortable position, and answered her with his eyes closed.

Liu Yifei gently stroked the man's face and continued: "Since Sina Blog doesn't accept investment, why don't you try Tengxun Blog? Or Blog China..."

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei seemed to think that Blogger China was just like Liu Chan of the Three Kingdoms, an adou who couldn't be supported, so she added to herself: "Forget it about Blogger China."

"Forget it...it can't be calculated. Since Sina Blog is unwilling to accept investment, then why don't I invest in Blog China? Maybe I can help it come back to life...No, no, no, no, no, with Blog China's current predicament, I can definitely Be bolder and acquire it directly.”

Chen Dong seemed to be enlightened and suddenly opened his eyes.

Liu Yifei listened to his soliloquy and was surprised to find that there was light in this man's eyes, and it was getting brighter and brighter.

However, she was limited by the perspective of the times and could not imagine what the Internet would be like when the spring came, so she did not quite understand why Chen Dong was so obsessed with blogging and even said that he wanted to acquire an Internet company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Chen Dong had no time to answer her questions for the time being, so he closed his eyes again and imagined how to operate.

First of all, one thing that is certain is that if he really wants to support an Internet platform similar to Weibo, he cannot defeat Sina by himself.

unless,

Unless he finds foreign aid.

For traditional film and television companies, there is only one way to go if they want to avoid being pinched or cut off by Internet capital after they enter the market in the future -

Join them.

As for resistance or something.

It's all in vain.

Because the future belongs to the Internet era.

As the saying goes, only times create heroes; there are no heroes.

This is the truth.

In fact, if Cao Guowei had not taken the initiative to contact him, Chen Dong would have been preparing to accumulate some initial capital and wait for the financial crisis to break out next year before entering the market.

But since there was such an opportunity now, he felt that there was no reason for him to miss it.

What's more, Sina is not the only blog website now. If we really have to wait another year or two for Sina Blog to evolve into Weibo, then we really can't even think about competing with this giant beast to seize the market.

Wait, it seems that the Weibo domain name is not Sina's...
