Chapter 702: The End of the Game
In the bedroom, Shen Qingning was speechless as she listened to Cheng Zhu's sudden and decisive shot.
During the long silence, her heartbeat began to get faster and faster.
This was the first time Cheng Zhu expressed his love for her so directly.
In the past, it was more about physical aggression and some intimate behaviors.
Well, he chose the right time.
If he and Shen Qingning had said these things before the blurry night in Guangzhou, it would actually be useless.
Because this is a belated confession of my heart.
It is not enough to reverse everyone's relationship and change the situation.
After that rainy night, Cheng Zhu said these words, but the effect was mediocre.
Because it was the first time.
It doesn't give people a very good feeling, as if it is said after having sex, like a comfort.
But tonight is different.
This is the second time.
The two have become increasingly entangled.
It’s already a mistake on top of a mistake!
Posing her heart out at this time would fill some gaps in her heart and make her feel that Cheng Zhu at least has feelings for her, rather than just possessiveness.
What's more, he now has the drunken buff.
They say the truth comes out when drunk.
Many people will believe more when someone is drunk.
Why do people sometimes need skills, routines, and emotional intelligence when getting along with others?
It is because even though you are telling the truth and speaking from the bottom of your heart, if you say it in the wrong context, the other party will not believe you and the effect will not be achieved.
You think you are sincere, but if the other person can't feel it, it's meaningless.
Shen Qingning opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something.
But in the end, the words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter a single word.
Only the thunderous heartbeat continued.
The atmosphere in the bedroom is constantly changing.
At this moment, she even had the urge to go downstairs and meet Cheng Zhu.
Cheng Zhu, who had not received any response on the phone, started his new performance.
He...let out a long sigh.
Of course, this is indeed his true emotion, he is really fucking helpless.
You are such a tsundere, you really have maxed out your tsundere attribute.
Finally, he just said in a deep voice: "Go to bed early, good night."
Hearing this, Shen Qingning felt that he was about to hang up the phone, and subconsciously shouted:
"Cheng Zhu!"
What a smart man! His response at this time was, "Yeah, I'm listening."
Ningning had thousands of words in her heart, but she still didn't know how to express them.
Finally, after being silent for more than ten seconds, she just said:
"Um... you should also have a good rest. Good night."
After the call ended, both of them put their phones next to their pillows.
The lights in the room went out.
They opened their eyes in darkness.
I don’t know what they are thinking about.
The next day, Cheng Zhu went to Youcha in Shen Qingning's Land Rover.
Along the way, Shen Qingning returned to her usual cold appearance, as if nothing had happened last night.
But, all this is actually useless.
After arriving at the Youqu Building, Cheng Zhu dealt with some things.
Then, he leisurely went downstairs, got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom that Shen Qingning didn't know about, and drove to Youqu.
When I arrived at the company, the secretary Meng Yiyi was already waiting in the office.
She has sorted out some videos and given them to Cheng Zhu for review.
"Mr. Cheng, there are a lot of simple but magical and brainwashing dance videos that are very popular on the platform recently," she said.
Cheng Zhu took a look and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Because he also saw the Seaweed Dance that was very popular in his previous life.
"You can push it a little." He nodded slightly and said to Yi Yi.
"Okay, Mr. Cheng."
Now, the competition between Youqu and Kuaishou has entered a white-hot stage.
A war of burning money is inevitable.
With the financing provided by Cheng Zhu and so many powerful financial backers behind him, Cheng Zhu has no worries about money at all.
As for the other hand, it's because he was very frugal in the past few years and there has always been a lot of money lying in the account.
But he knew very well that it was not yet time for the decisive battle.
"The decisive battle will be during the Chinese New Year this year," he thought.
With this thought in mind, he instructed the innocent little white flower: "Call all the management for a meeting in half an hour."
"Okay, Mr. Cheng."
This meeting lasted for more than an hour.
During the process, a video conference was also held with a number of investors.
The reason is simple, Cheng Zhu is going to do something big.
He is prepared to take out 1 billion yuan as subsidies for creators!
This is a common operation on many platforms and is not uncommon.
But these days, taking out 1 billion yuan in one go is still very scary!
As soon as the news was announced, Kuaishou immediately followed suit and announced that it would contribute 1 billion yuan.
All of a sudden, creators in the entire short video field were completely excited!
Many people make short videos just for fun.
But there are also many people who do it to make money and to make a living.
The two major platforms have put out a total of 2 billion as incentives, which can be said to have heated up the entire industry!
Of course, this also brought a financial blow to other short video platforms.
Platforms like Paipai have completely lost their living space.
Creators are the lifeblood of the platform!
But these people create on your platform, it can't be because of love, right?
Even if you can generate electricity for love at the beginning, what about in the future?
What's more, generating electricity doesn't matter where you generate electricity.
While the block dealer also started to spend money, Cheng Zhu was not panicked at all.
The reason is very simple. The overall level of the creators on Youqu is much higher than that on Kuaishou.
This has to do with the platform’s initial user positioning.
Therefore, what he values is motivation and inspiring everyone's creative passion.
As long as this works, it's enough.
After all... the experts are among the common people!
Cheng Zhu can indeed rely on the advantages of being a reborn person to lead the trend again and again.
But his time and energy are limited.
Most of the time, he can only control the general direction.
If he had to do everything himself, he wouldn't be able to live.
In addition, this can also indirectly support the development of some MCN agencies.
Youqu has now produced a group of top internet celebrities like Zhang Qiqi.
But as we all know, the top internet celebrities on short video platforms are updated and replaced very quickly.
"No one will always be popular, but someone will always be popular!" Cheng Zhu has always felt that this is the correct development path.
On the other hand, Chen Yixiao and Su Hua have been in frequent contact with Baidu recently.
There is no way. Penguin is on Cheng Zhu's side, and there is a guy on Alibaba's side who is extremely against short videos and looks down on this industry.
Then, among the three giants of BAT, only the old investor Baidu can continue to be a backer of Kuaishou.
Originally, Baidu had somewhat neglected the Blockchain project due to internal disagreements.
How should I put it? The performance is still very stable!
You can always pick the early leader in an industry and then discard it…
But with the several visits of Chen Yixiao and Su Hua, and the amazing potential shown by Youqu, Baidu also began to change its mind: short videos have great potential!
Therefore, Baidu plans to actively participate in the next round of financing of BlockHand.
After finalizing the matter, everyone sat together to discuss it.
Everyone reached a consensus: the decisive battle will be during the Spring Festival!
On this point, everyone's thoughts were surprisingly consistent with Cheng Zhu's.
There's no way around it. During the Spring Festival, many people don't go to work or school. On platforms like this, all data often surges.
Recently, the battle between KuaiShou and YouQu has been going on for a while.
For the time being, neither side has an overwhelming advantage.
While Blockhand was chatting, everyone turned their attention to... the Spring Festival Gala!
Little did they know that Cheng Zhu, who was far away in Hangzhou, said: "Me too!"
Even though the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala is decreasing year by year, it is still the Spring Festival Gala after all!
Apart from anything else, the sponsorship of the Spring Festival Gala makes the scene different!
After all, this is not something that anyone can do.
All of a sudden, both sides began to show off their skills.
Mobilize various resources, various connections, various channels...
Later on, everyone heard from the side that my rival was also thinking of sponsoring the Spring Festival Gala!
This made Su Hua and Chen Yixiao even more anxious.
Cheng Zhu was not really panicked.
Because he knew one thing very well: if he couldn't get Youqu, he certainly wouldn't be able to get the hand either!
The worst that can happen is that no one can eat it!
He didn't think that in the end it would be the other party who succeeded and he who failed.
"From the perspective of platform positioning and user positioning, Blockbuster is still a bit rustic and vulgar."
"My Yuzuki is much better in this regard."
"Another important point is that we are doing well overseas!"
“How many apps in China have truly gone abroad and topped the charts abroad?”
"If you count on your fingers, it's just a tiny bit!"
"Do your best! I want to do my best!"
"What's more, we are a video app."
Once cooperation is reached with the Spring Festival Gala, some activities will definitely be launched within the platform.
Youqu has an overseas version, and overseas users can also follow along.
To put it in a higher sense, this can export the Spring Festival Gala to other countries and promote culture!
But looking at the hand...． ．
"What the hell can you do?"
"Shaking your hands like setting off fireworks during the Spring Festival?" Cheng Zhu felt at ease.
Therefore, Cheng Zhu is certain that during the Spring Festival, Youqu will widen the gap with Kuaishou.
Now, he has a super high traffic tilt on the Penguin side.
Even if Blockbuster has some help in attracting traffic, it will definitely not be able to beat Penguin.
"The ending is inevitable, but if I win the Spring Festival Gala, my defeat will be even more embarrassing!"
As time passed, the sponsorship of the Spring Festival Gala was finally finalized.
After exhausting all his resources and connections, Cheng Zhu finally got what he wanted!
After hearing the news, Su Hua and Chen Yixiao also began to feel their heads buzzing.
The feeling of hopelessness swept over me.
What really made them feel that it was a fatal blow was that Cheng Zhu was making another big move!
A few days later, news came out from Youqu that they were planning to acquire ByteDance’s Volcano Video!
