Upon hearing this, Hu Yangyu took his leave with a disappointed look on his face.

He felt very tired during his trip to Hong Kong. He approached several celebrities, but none of them were willing to join Xinlang Weibo, even if he was offered money.

"Sigh, it's so unfair! It's just too unfair! Wujiang Group, the parent company of Wujiang Weibo, is too powerful. No celebrity wants to offend Wujiang Group. How am I supposed to do my job?" Hu Yangyu was speechless.

This is not even a war of the same level.

Furthermore, with Weibo now sweeping across China, newcomers simply cannot compete.

...

Xinlang Company intended to attract popularity through the "celebrity effect" from the very beginning, but unfortunately, the celebrities were unwilling to come.

He died before his business was even halfway done.

Seeing the half-dead state of Xinlang's Weibo website, Xinlang Company felt helpless.

"How about we spend money on advertising?"

"Where would we get the money to run an advertising campaign?"

"You could seek investment to raise funds!"

"Okay, I'll give it a try. I'm not willing to fail like this."

The senior management of Xinlang Company held a meeting to discuss raising funds for Xinlang Weibo.

Currently, Weibo is a product that is very popular with investors.

Xinlang launched its Weibo account relatively early and, with the help of traffic from the Xinlang portal website, quickly gained millions of users.

Xinlang doesn't aspire to surpass Wujiang Weibo; it just wants a piece of the pie.

On the same day, Xinlang introduced its financing plan for Weibo to some investors.

Xinlang Group has established a subsidiary – Xinlang Weibo.

In its first round of financing, Xinlang Weibo planned to sell 25% of its shares and raise $25 million. This way, investors' money would be used to develop Xinlang Weibo, and even if Xinlang Weibo failed, it would not have a significant impact on its parent company, Xinlang Group.

There are many investors in this world who dare to take risks.

For them, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Quite a few people are indeed very interested in Xinlang's Weibo.

The very next day, many investors expressed their intention to invest in Xinlang Weibo to Xinlang Group.

Soon, an investment conference for Xinlang Weibo began.

"Mr. Hu, your Xinlang Weibo is now far behind Wujiang Weibo. How do you plan to catch up?" an investor asked. This was a crucial question; a good answer would attract investors to invest in Xinlang Weibo.

Hu Yangyu said in a deep voice, "Nothing more than throwing money at it. We spend money to invite celebrities to Xinlang Weibo, and then attract their fans to register Xinlang Weibo accounts. In addition, our company has celebrities fight each other on Xinlang Weibo to generate topics, gain fans in reverse, and attract traffic... Of course, we have more methods, you will know after you invest in Xinlang Weibo company."

Upon hearing this, one investor burst into laughter: "Hahaha, interesting! Lots of people online love watching a spectacle. Celebrity feuds and such are sure to attract a lot of viewers. Mr. Hu, I'm investing in the Xinlang Weibo project!!!"
