Seeing the scene that Wu Junlai and his group had created, Gao Yan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time: "What are you all doing? Are you all just bored?"
Wu Junlai chuckled: "We didn't take into account that Brother Yan's status is no longer what it used to be. We did this so as not to diminish your status!"
Gao Yan waved his hand: "Alright, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm in Beijing to discuss business. You can go now, and I'll contact you again after I've finished my business!"
"Alright, then we'll head out first!"
Wu Jun nodded and quickly led his group of brothers away.
It came quickly and went quickly.
At this moment, Feng Bing quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Boss!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Gao Yan nodded to Feng Bing, then looked at Boss Zhang.
Sensing Gao Yan's gaze, Mr. Zhang subconsciously stepped forward and extended both hands: "Hello, Mr. Gao, I am Zhang Erming from ByteDance."
Gao Yan extended his hand and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm Gao Yan!"
He wasn't sure if the person in front of him was the boss of Star Network, because he looked so young, probably only in his early twenties.
It wasn't until Feng Bing bowed to Gao Yan that he realized the extraordinary young man before him was indeed Boss Gao.
Moreover, judging from the behavior of those "second-generation" individuals, this young General Manager Gao's identity is probably extraordinary; he might also be a second-generation heir.
No wonder the other party was able to easily defuse the pressure from AI and JD.com, and even launch a counterattack.
This year's Double Eleven shopping festival was particularly well-executed.
Previously, he thought that this Mr. Gao was an impulsive and extremely wasteful person, but now he thinks that this is not the case at all, and that this is a persona that has been deliberately created.
Whether it's the mobile phone lottery or the 20 billion yuan subsidy for users, these should all be strategies devised by the think tank behind the scenes, rather than decisions made on a whim.
Take the first mobile phone lottery event, for example. It seems to have resulted in losses of tens of billions of yuan.
However, it gained fame, increased downloads and daily active users, and the large number of cash coupons issued further bound users together.
After all, habit is a terrible thing.
But if a user gets used to shopping at Sunday Mall, then he/she is a loyal user of Sunday Mall.
Furthermore, this year's Double Eleven, which seemed like another extravagant spending spree, actually managed to surpass Taobao and JD.com, and even gained positive reputation and popularity.
Some things are best left uninterpreted.
If Gao Yan knew what Boss Zhang was thinking, he would definitely laugh his head off. Whether it was the mobile phone lottery event or this 20 billion subsidy, wasn't it all a decision he made on a whim?
No company would dare to do such a thing, nor could it make such a decision in a short period of time.
But Gao Yan is a big dog.
A few hundred billion is nothing to him.
Gao Yan got directly into Boss Zhang's car.
The other party's car wasn't particularly luxurious; it was just a Mercedes worth a little over a million yuan.
After all, ByteDance is still a developing company.
However, Gao Yan did not show any dissatisfaction or displeasure, which relieved Boss Zhang.
Along the way, Gao Yan and Boss Zhang had a very pleasant conversation.
Although he hasn't even graduated from university yet, he absorbs knowledge every day, and he also has a memory of the major trends for the next five years.
He might not be as good as Mr. Zhang when it comes to professional expertise or details, but no one can match his grasp of future trends, unless the other party is reborn!
Because Gao Yan had a request not to appear on camera.
Therefore, this signing was done in a very low-key manner.
The contract was signed in two parts. The first part involved Ice and Snow Investment acquiring 15% of ByteDance's shares for US$1.65 billion, and the second part involved ByteDance exchanging 10% of its shares for 10% of StarNet's shares!
When the signing was completed, ByteDance's top executives all applauded.
Because they all felt they had made a huge profit.
After all, ByteDance's market value is only $11 billion, and Sunday Mall has never received investment, so it has no valuation yet.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Sunday Mall's market value is at least 30 billion US dollars.
This is despite Gao Yan's two extravagant spending sprees; otherwise, Sunday Mall's valuation would be even higher.
After the contract was signed.
Mr. Zhang personally led Gao Yan on a tour of ByteDance.
And at noon, he hosted a banquet for Gao Yan at ByteDance's cafeteria.
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, I've already spoken to Xingchen Entertainment, they should contact you soon!"
After the meal, while Gao Yan was chatting with Boss Zhang, Gao Yan suddenly mentioned...
"No rush, Mr. Gao will definitely not go back on his promise!" Mr. Zhang said, looking completely at ease.
We chatted for a while.
Gao Yan then took his leave, and Feng Bing drove him to a large building.
Upon entering the building, he went straight to a company called Green Vine Investment Consulting on the 14th floor.
"Hello sir, how can I help you?"
When the two receptionists saw Gao Yan arrive, their expressions brightened and their eyes lit up slightly.
"I'm here to find someone, let me make a phone call first!"
Gao Yan smiled politely at the two receptionists, then took out his phone and dialed Liu Hanyi's number.
He didn't want to be like the protagonists in some novels who, despite having a cell phone, chose to bother the security guards or receptionists.
They even labeled them as snobbish and condescending.
After making the call, Gao Yan chatted with the two receptionists for a few minutes.
Dressed in a business suit, Liu Hanyi smiled happily when she saw Gao Yan and asked, "What brings you here?"
