Forced Me to Regress, Huh?

The young and successful Cheng Zhu came across a question online: If you were given a chance to go back in time and start over, would you take it?

As someone known in his circle for being the...

Chapter 686: Secretly Following Ningning to Other Places

It was getting dark, and Cheng Sui was busy until 7:30 in the evening before he had time to eat.

Now, the competition between the two major short video platforms has entered the stage of self-heating.

Even the usually frugal ones started spending money.

This means Cheng Zhu has endless meetings every day.

In addition, the overseas layout is also being promoted simultaneously, and he wishes there were 48 hours in a day.

He is very clear about how important the overseas version of [Youqu] is.

If it can really replicate the success of TikTok, then its future international influence will be quite terrifying!

The United States even wanted to ban it that year. During the election, Trump and Putin used it to canvass votes, saying that if they were elected, they would not ban it.

This was something that was hard to imagine in the past.

In fact, it has caused many huge sensations and even social incidents abroad.

"Of course, with my personality, if Youqu can really achieve this level overseas, I will definitely not kneel down." Cheng Zhu thought.

He didn't want to be nicknamed Cheng Yiku.

After leaving the company, Cheng Zhu drove to a random restaurant and had dinner.

Then he returned to Xinhang Apartment.

This year, not only he is busy, but the team led by Zhang Sixing is also busy.

The reason is simple, he plans to launch the live broadcast function in a "low-key" manner.

Yes, Cheng Zhu also plans to quickly follow up on the live broadcast that was so popular.

"Only fools take it slow."

"The more you value live streaming and the better you make it, the sooner I will follow up."

In fact, in its previous life, Tik Tok also launched the live broadcast function very early on.

But at that time, it was indeed launched quietly, not as high-profile as Kuaishou.

Moreover, at that stage, Tik Tok was a bit posturing.

After the live broadcast function was launched, it did not create hourly rankings, weekly rankings, or monthly rankings like other platforms.

Douyin claims that this method will only alienate the distance between ordinary users and anchors.

Our purpose is mainly to promote interaction with the anchors, which is a relatively equal way of communication.

Therefore, there will be no purely professional anchors on Douyin.

We launched live streaming, firstly to build a community, and secondly because it is a proven way to monetize.

After saying so much, I ended up getting slapped in the face.

After discovering that live streaming is very profitable, I decided to do whatever I wanted.

As for those big words I said before...:..Oh, how can you take business matters so seriously?

We are simply moving with the times.

Cheng Zhu personally thinks that this operation is quite good.

"To put it simply, before the plate becomes bigger, we focus on word of mouth."

"After the plate gets bigger, the main focus is on making money."

"If you start eating in an ugly way, it will definitely be detrimental to your development in the beginning."

"It's just a trick!"

In addition, Youqu has another new function to be launched.

That is: others will be able to use your video soundtrack.

You can share the original audio of the video with others.

This will actually produce some homogenized videos.

For example, if a dance video goes viral, everyone will dance to the original music of that video.

For this reason, after some music becomes popular on Tik Tok, the songs will also become popular and suddenly become popular on the charts.

Even some old songs suddenly appear at the top of the charts.

This function will make some video content on the platform highly consistent.

However, it is also conducive to promoting various trends. In fact, some dance videos or cross-dressing videos, even if the content is the same, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is to watch... different beautiful young ladies or beakers perform!

The same goes for other types of videos.

In general, as long as the content of your platform is not too monotonous, is sufficiently diversified, has enough flowers blooming, and has enough categories, then this will not be a big problem, and it will not cause aesthetic fatigue to users.

Actually, this is a genius idea!

From a commercial perspective, platform development perspective, and creator stickiness and activity, this operation is god-level, and the benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages!

Chengzhu was not launched at the beginning because it was afraid that other platforms would imitate it.

He will wait until his own platform becomes stronger before throwing out this trump card in one go.

"When you are still weak, many of your innovations will only serve others in the end."

He understands this very well!

Not long after, Youqu’s live broadcast function was quietly launched.

The function of making the original sound available for others to use was also launched.

After this busy period, Cheng Zhu had a little more free time.

In the afternoon, he received a WeChat message from Shen Qingning’s assistant.

The assistant's name is Liu Qing, and she was recruited by Cheng Zhu for Ning Ning.

As the second-in-command of Youcha, her time is precious every day and she leads a busy life, so naturally she needs an assistant.

Of course, this is also because the dog man installed a pair of eyes next to her.

He was not worried about Ningning.

He just thought, what if she needs me sometimes?

From the beginning, Cheng Zhu and Liu Qing had instructed: "Mr. Shen's daily schedule and work arrangements,

Please send them all to me. "

He really cares about this.

He was indeed a hands-off boss, but he was also afraid that Shen Qingning would be too busy.

Tsundere girls are very strong-willed and like to hold on.

Sometimes when Youcha's workload is too heavy, he will take time to go back and help deal with some issues.

But the content Liu Qing sent today made Cheng Zhu a little confused.

"What is she going to do in Guangzhou the day after tomorrow? What is her private itinerary?" he asked.

After Liu Qing received the WeChat message, she felt a little confused.

Many people drink [Qingmei Zhuma] in pomelo tea!

As an assistant, Liu Qing can be said to be at the forefront.

She didn’t know if Mr. Shen himself had noticed that sometimes, if the company was too busy, Mr. Cheng would come back specially.

As an "informant", she feels involved and goes crazy at the same time!

“Aaaaah! What kind of idol drama is this, coming to life!”

"It's so good, it's so good!"

"I'm cheering for Mr. Cheng! I'm raising the banner for [Qing Mei Zhu Ma]!"

This act of caring is so touching.

If This Isn't Love!

But how come Mr. Cheng doesn’t even know Mr. Shen’s private schedule today?

"Did they... have a fight?"

"Are they in a cold war lately?" Liu Qing began to imagine wildly.

But no matter what, Liu Qing is not a fool.

She knew that she was recruited by Mr. Cheng, and she also knew who the big boss was.

Therefore, she answered everything she knew in detail: "Mr. Shen is going to see Jay Chou's concert, and he asked me to book a flight ticket and a hotel near the venue."

Cheng Zhu looked at WeChat and raised his eyebrows!

"Is it finally time to go to the concert?" he thought to himself.

He thought his plan had failed, and that his drunken, movie-star-level performance when Ningning sent him home had not succeeded in torturing her!

"It seems that because Yuzucha was too busy before, she didn't have time at all."

"Besides, Jay Chou's tour this year has just begun."

After thinking for a while, Cheng Zhu typed to Liu Qing: "Buy me a plane ticket and book the same hotel."

"Okay, Mr. Cheng, please wait a moment." Liu Qing typed, "I need to check the tickets. It seems that there is no first-class cabin on Mr. Shen's flight."

"No, don't book the same flight, stagger them for me," he ordered.

"Okay." Liu Qing's eyes lit up, and he began to imagine all kinds of "wife-chasing dramas" in his mind.

To Cheng Zhu's regret, Liu Qing didn't know which row of tickets Shen Qingning bought.

But it doesn't matter, the man can just change his plan.

"Then the plan is B!"

The time came to the day after tomorrow.

Shen Qingning’s flight was at around ten in the morning.

After arriving in Guangzhou, she will go to the hotel to rest for a while, then put on makeup, change clothes, and then take a bus to the venue.

She asked Liu Qing to charter a business car.

All the trips today will be picked up by a driver.

Cheng Zhu asked Liu Qing to book a flight for the afternoon. He had to go to the company in the morning to take care of some things and had a meeting to attend today.

"I'm not going to the concert anyway, so it doesn't matter if I go later." Cheng Zhu thought.

Yes, he had no plan to go to the concert.

"This damn tsundere should just be left to watch it all alone!" the bastard man thought to himself.

Instead of following closely, it is better to sit back and wait!

Of course, he also told Liu Qing not to tell Mr. Shen that he had also bought a ticket to Yangcheng.

Of course Liu Qing agreed immediately and shouted in her heart: "I understand! I understand!"

Her sense of participation was overwhelming. She felt that although this class was very tiring and busy, the spiritual satisfaction was so strong!

She even wished she could go with him!

In the morning, Shen Qingning arrived at the airport dragging a small Rimowa silver suitcase.

After getting off the plane, she went straight to the hotel without any makeup.

In the hotel, she first lay on the bed, put on a facial mask, and then closed her eyes for fifteen minutes.

Next, she began to wash her face, apply skin care products, and then sat in front of the mirror to put on makeup.

She seemed to be very serious about putting on makeup today, making her already delicate face look even more beautiful.

Even today's clothes and accessories are carefully matched.

To be exact, this set of clothes was specially bought by her after they made an appointment to watch the concert together.

It’s just that the mood when I bought the clothes and the mood when I wear them now are completely different, they are two extremes.

Many people dress up beautifully when attending concerts because they want to take photos or because it is a date.

However, the tsundere girl had no intention of taking selfies inside the venue.

A woman like her who loves to read sad stories has a bit of literary spirit in her heart.

She was just going to a late appointment, an appointment that was too late.

In Shen Qingning's bag, there were not only tickets for this concert, but also the ones that Cheng Zhu had sent her before, including the ticket that she had torn into pieces and then glued back together.
