Someone like Mo Heng, who has been working in the short video industry for many years, must be very knowledgeable.

He would definitely listen carefully to what Mo Heng said.

"Look, you should have about three million stable customers now, right? I remember you announced the number of registered users later, which was about three million six hundred thousand."

Chen Cixiu added, "After what happened last time, it has reached 7.8 million."

"Yes, that's right. Look, let's assume that out of these 7.8 million people, two-thirds have been poached by the other side, and you still have one-third left, right? Tell me, can this one-third sustain your current expenses?"

Mo Heng posed a question.

Chen Cixiu thought for a moment and nodded.

"That's right, so what you need to do is not retain customers, because these people on the internet can use this today and that tomorrow. We can't make decisions for them. Just like the internet celebrities incubated by our MCNs, do you think their fans are all fixed? No, so what you need to do is develop new fans, and the same goes for you."

Chen Cixiu stopped drinking his tea and listened attentively to the lecture.

“Look, your company now has far more followers on short video accounts and more users than many top-tier internet celebrities. So why don’t you try to break through to the internet celebrity path?” Mo Heng gestured with two teacups.

“This teacup is like you right now, it’s already full. But now, this Feng wants to steal your customer and is pouring the tea out of your teacup. What are you supposed to do? Cover the teacup? When you cover it and lift it up, won’t the tea spill out too? But if you just let it pour out and pour tea from the teapot, won’t your teacup be full again?”

Chen Cixiu understood.

"Brother Mo, do you mean I should recruit food bloggers? Use them as my teapot, and when the water boils, pour it into my teacup?"

Mo Heng nodded.

That's how smart people are; they like people who understand things quickly.

"That's how business is. You can't be complacent. Just like my several internet celebrities with millions of followers, don't they have overlapping fans? It's the same principle."

Mo Heng raised his teacup.

"Brother Mo, I've really learned a lot. I never thought about it this way before. I'm so glad I came to see you today." Chen Cixiu raised his teacup and clinked it against Mo Heng's teacup, then drank the tea in one gulp instead of wine.

"Actually, even if you hadn't come to me, you would have thought of this anyway. I'm just telling you in advance."

Mo Heng did not take credit for it; instead, he praised Chen Cixiu for his intelligence.

"but……"

"Need more people?"

Mo Heng immediately saw through it. "I happen to have a food blogger here. His contract is about to expire. You can try to persuade him to stay. He's a very good person, the really good kind, and his reputation across the internet is extremely high. I won't be your advocate, you have to try to get him yourself. Whether you can get him or not is up to you."

Chen Cixiu nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear Brother Mo say that. I'll try my best to get this person, and whether I succeed or not, it's my own ability." Chen Cixiu laughed.

I talked to Mo Heng for a long time.

Mo Heng told him a lot about things on the internet, which gave him some good ideas.

They chatted for two hours, but then Mo Heng had to leave because Chen Cixiu had to take his leave.

After leaving Mo Heng's company, he went straight back to Haochi Media and sent Jiang Yu a WeChat message on the way.

all the best.

Jiang Yu, who was in a meeting when she saw this WeChat message, smiled.

Delicious Media.

Chen Cixiu called Li Bowen, Tian Xin, and Cheng Yusheng.

Cheng Yusheng started upgrading the app this morning to address the issues Chen Cixiu raised yesterday.

Just as the upgrade was underway, Chen Cixiu called him to a meeting.

After the three of them arrived, Chen Cixiu told them about what he had talked about with Mo Heng.

It gave them a lot of inspiration.

The decision was unanimously made to do it this way.

"Now I understand the importance of connections."

Li Bowen sat in the chair and let out a long sigh.

Tian Xin nodded in agreement.

Cheng Yusheng said, "Well, thankfully it doesn't have much to do with me."

After saying that, he went back to tinkering with his things.

Li Bowen called out from behind, "Old Cheng, do you understand the importance of connections? You need to work harder; I still want you to become one of my connections."

What kind of connections do you need for a company?

Tian Xin asked abruptly.

Li Bowen realized what was happening, scratched his head, and said, "That seems to be true."
