Chapter 612 Ask Chen Qingning to watch a movie
In the office, Cheng Zhu listened to Shen Qingning's words and had only one thought.
"Are you scolding me?"
But facing those cold eyes, he swallowed slightly and said nothing.
There's nothing I can do. It's my fault that he is emotionally abused and is still busy in the company every day.
Cheng Zhu coughed dryly a few times, and in keeping with their agreement to "keep business as business", he chose to keep quiet.
To be honest, Ning Ning originally had a cool temperament and a strong aura. Now, after some experience in the workplace, she has become more like a strong woman and her aura has become stronger.
"Not cute at all." The dog man made an assessment in his mind.
"The cutest thing is when he calls me brother with a hint of tears in his voice." He began to reminisce.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shen Qingning didn't continue.
She just started chatting about another business matter.
"The Mermaid team communicated with me and gave us three implantation plans. You can decide which scenario would be best for implantation," Ningning said.
The "Mermaid" she mentioned is the movie "The Mermaid" which will be released during the Spring Festival in 2016, directed by Stephen Chow.
Yuzu Tea has grown to its current scale and has to spend a sum of money on advertising every quarter.
Sometimes, it is used offline, such as in subway stations.
Sometimes, it is used online.
"The Mermaid" is another masterpiece by Stephen Chow after "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". It is not easy to get a product placement quota in a movie, and Cheng Zhu also put in a lot of effort.
Shen Qingning had no objection to this investment.
When it comes to movies, it is indeed an unknown how the box office will perform after it is released. Even the most awesome actors and directors will have their Waterloo moments.
But these three words "Stephen Chow" are still quite secure at the moment!
However, at the beginning of the cooperation, the attitude of "The Mermaid" was very clear and a bit tough.
That is, it all depends on your creativity to decide which screen the implant will appear in. There is no room for choice or negotiation, and the screen time will only be about three seconds.
Cheng Zhu knew that this movie would break the box office record and would also set off a craze of "owing Stephen Chow a movie ticket" during the Spring Festival. Many people would go to see the movie twice or three times and contribute to the box office.
Therefore, he doesn't care about this kind of cooperation model at all.
"Oh, I'm not picky."
Then, an embarrassing scene occurred.
——The implantation of Yuzucha was cut off, hehe.
No matter if you are the sponsor or not, I feel that scene is not good, so let’s cut it!
Therefore, now it is equivalent to making up for it. Three options are given, and you can use later means to add Yuzucha.
After Cheng Zhu took a look, he looked up and asked Shen Qingning: "Which one do you want to choose?"
"Personally, I definitely prefer the time when the male and female protagonists eat chicken."
Her idea was simple. If she was going to implant the character, it would be better to implant it into the male lead, Deng Chao.
But Cheng Zhu knew the content of the movie. Before the chicken-eating scene, there was a thrilling driving scene, and it was so exciting.
However, the appearance of Yuzucha in the final chicken-eating scene is actually a bit abrupt.
After taking a look, he was attracted by the word "Police Station".
"Add him to the police station!" he decided immediately.
He knew too well how exciting this scene was and how strong the long-tail effect was!
I have to say that although Wen Zhang only made a cameo appearance in the movie for a few minutes, his performance was truly eye-catching.
Apart from anything else, the emojis of the two policemen had made him laugh for years in his WeChat in his previous life.
Cheng Zhu even remembered that there should be a white enamel cup on the table in the police station.
It’s not impossible to change it to grapefruit tea!
Who says police officers can’t drink takeaway milk tea?
He wasn't sure how "The Mermaid" would operate, but Cheng Zhu felt that choosing the police station was the right choice!
Shen Qingning frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
But she didn't ask any more questions.
Because up to now, Cheng Zhu has never made any mistakes in many of the major decisions he has made.
Once anyone doubts him, they will be slapped in the face in the end.
"I'm not Shen Minglang, who always goes up to him and gives him a chance." Ning Ning thought to herself.
After finalizing this matter, Cheng Zhu smiled and said, "During the Chinese New Year, Mr. Cheng, I will invite you to watch "The Mermaid."
Chen Qingning heard this, her eyelashes trembled slightly, then she raised her cold eyes again and said calmly: "No need, it's better for you and Lulu to watch it."
Hearing this, the dog man smiled even more, and then said in a speechless tone: "What are you thinking about? When I said I would invite you, I meant to invite everyone in the company, not just you. I am very generous, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Ning coldly said "boring", picked up the documents and cell phone, stood up and turned to leave.
"Do you want to see it or not?" Cheng Zhu deliberately shouted at her back.
Such a sentence actually contains a hidden meaning and is of great use.
Shen Qingning did not reply, as if turning a deaf ear to her words. After opening the office door, she walked straight away.
The time came to December 24th, Christmas Eve.
Zhang Yiming came to Hangzhou specially to have a face-to-face meeting with Cheng Zhu.
Although Xiaolu's birthday is tomorrow, Cheng Zhu will reserve tonight's time for her as well.
So, the two of them made an appointment in the morning.
This way, you don't have to treat him to a meal.
Because Cheng Zhu was very sure that they would talk for a long time.
No matter what, Zhang Yiming must have been an amazing person since he was able to develop TikTok to this level in his previous life.
Cheng Zhu still has a lot of places he wants to learn from.
Therefore, he also attached great importance to this meeting.
Before ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yiming arrived at the Youqu headquarters.
Cheng Zhu came out to greet him personally and took him to his office to sit down.
The ByteDance CEO is a man who is very friendly when he smiles.
Speaking of which, there is an indirect connection between him and Cheng Zhu.
——Zhang Yiming and Wang Xin are from the same hometown.
Even their families knew each other.
The two have been friends for nearly ten years.
In 2008, he joined Wang Xin's team as a technical partner and together they developed Fanfou, which is known as the Twitter of China.
Later, Fanfou fell into disuse, Wang Xin went to start MiTuan, and Zhang Yiming went to start ByteDance.
However, as Douyin grew bigger and began to target the field of "local life services", it became a direct competitor of MiTuan.
Cheng Zhu knew all these things.
He has only one idea now.
"Oh! I won't let you two fellow villagers start a fight!"
Now Miduan can no longer handle the combined efforts of Dianping and Ele.me!
I also took the lead in establishing Youqu!
Very good, and we have contributed to world peace again.
Of course, at this moment Zhang Yiming didn’t know the “origin” between Cheng Zhu and Wang Xin.
Because on the surface he is just a small shareholder of Dianping and Ele.me.
As long as Wang Xin and a few other people don’t tell anyone, the outside world won’t know that he is hiding in the dark and stirring up trouble!
After the two sat down in the office, Cheng Zhu found something quite interesting.
"Zhang Xuhao, Zhang Tao, Zhang Yiming."
"Why are all of them surnamed Zhang?"
Moreover, these three people are ultimately competing for the local life service business.
Judging from his facial features, Zhang Yiming is not the kind of person with a strong aura.
On the contrary, many media outlets, when reporting on him, would say that he has a baby face.
But it's strange that people like him tend to give people a very sincere feeling when they speak.
During the chat, Cheng Zhu also asked, "Mr. Zhang, why are you interested in short videos?"
Zhang Yiming did not hide anything and directly listed some data.
"I started working on Toutiao in 2012. Now, Toutiao has more than 30 million daily active users."
"We did a simple calculation and found that the number of daily active users of 'information apps' is around 200 million."
"Among them, our Toutiao and Penguin News account for almost 100 million."
"The top three browsers, Penguin Browser, Baidu Browser, and UC Browser, account for about 70 million users."
"Then the rest together add up to about 30 to 40 million."
"But our company has estimated that in the future, the number of daily active users of the entire mobile Internet will be around 700 million."
"It's obvious that the penetration rate of information applications is only about 30%."
“Even if [Toutiao] can occupy half of the market in the future, its daily active users will only be around 100 million.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhu nodded repeatedly.
He really didn't know this.
Because he didn't know much about information applications and didn't pay much attention to their data.
What Zhang Yiming said was very simple and straightforward.
This is equivalent to telling Cheng Zhu that the limit of what [Toutiao] can achieve in the future, that is, the ceiling, is clearly visible!
Anyway, it will be the same no matter what!
Zhang Yiming continued: "The Internet is in the stage of accelerating its transition from PC to mobile. We at ByteDance had foreseen this when we were first established."
"Of course, it's been almost 16 years now, and everyone has come to realize this."
"I think this is also one of the reasons why Mr. Cheng suddenly crossed over from milk tea and... uh, to start Youqu."
He paused and ultimately did not utter the words "QQ underwear".
Speaking of which, who can cross boundaries as well as Cheng Zhu?
First I made QQ underwear, then I started selling milk tea, and now I am starting to develop a short video platform.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhu nodded.
What he really thought was: "The main reason is that if I don't do it now, you will do it next year, and it will be too late for me!"
Zhang Yiming's next sentence was deeply engraved in Cheng Zhu's mind.
"I have always believed that the mobile information distribution industry will have huge commercial value in the future!" This bespectacled man in his early thirties had a faint smile on his face, as if he had great expectations for the future.
However, his smile quickly faded, and he said, "We can already see the end of the [Headlines] that can be published in pictures and texts."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhu nodded in agreement. Then, he leaned back on the sofa and said something lightly that resonated with Zhang Yiming and even shocked him.
"Well, for an Internet company, losing imagination means losing everything!"
(ps: asking for monthly ticket~)
