Chapter 114 Countdown to Second Mother-in-law’s Appreciation!

The Ouyang Tang in front of him is not only Lian Zheng’s classmate and secret admirer, but also Lian Yi’s godmother.

Lian Zheng, who never asks for help from others, this time asked her for help because of Lin Xiao's matter.

It even seems that the young man in front of him might be Xiao Shuidi's boyfriend?

With this relationship, Ouyang Tang will definitely help.

However, she would not let Lin Xiao know about this relationship. Instead, she would take the opportunity to warn this young man.

I want to see if you are worthy of the little water drop.

In her opinion, no matter how much money a person makes in a marginal industry, he is still questionable.

"This thing you made is gray. It's very dangerous, you know?"

Lin Xiao said: “I know.”

Ouyang Tang asked: "Why do you still do it if you know it?"

Lin Xiao said: "I rely on this to earn my first pot of gold in order to achieve higher ideals."

Ouyang Tang said: "Wow, what ideal?"

Lin Xiao said: "Cultural export."

Ouyang Tang sneered, "Who can't talk big? You must have asked me about me before, and you know that I used to be in charge of this matter in the Ministry of Culture."

Cater to someone's preferences.

Ouyang Tang immediately felt that Lin Xiao was a man with opportunistic intentions.

Lin Xiao didn't say anything, but took out a book called "The Graveyard Book" from his bag.

Ouyang Tang took it and looked at it, then said, "This book was actually written by you?"

This is where Lian Zheng’s cleverness lies. He did not reveal too much about Lin Xiao’s background to Ouyang Tang, but let her slowly dig it out on her own.

Lin Xiao asked: "Have you also read this book?"

Ouyang Tang said: "The publishing house has applied for key support and plans to publicize several important awards, even some awards from our department, so it has been handed over to our relevant departments for review."

"You wrote it? It's really well written."

Ouyang Tang's expression softened a little. After all, she was always more tolerant towards talented people.

She and Lian Zheng both studied Chinese at Fudan University and both had dreams of becoming writers. In addition to being attracted by Lian Zheng's appearance, she was also attracted by his literary talent at the time.

Lin Xiao then took out two more books from his bag.

The same book, "The Graveyard Book", one in English and one in French, was placed in front of Ouyang Tang.

This time, Ouyang Tang was really stunned.

There are even English and French versions, which is completely different.

It is very popular for the works of foreign writers to be translated into Chinese and published in the country.

However, it is very rare for domestic writers to translate works into foreign languages ​​and publish them overseas at that time.

Because there is a cultural gap.

Moreover, there is a photo of Neil Gaiman on the waistbands of these two foreign language versions.

He is one of the top writers in the United States and has won many Hugo and Nebula Awards.

Very, very famous in Europe and America.

He strongly recommended the work and was even willing to provide his own portrait rights.

The reason is simple, because in his previous life, he was the original author of this book.

When the publisher showed him the manuscript, this top writer was literally stunned.

Oh my god?

How is this possible?

Thousands of miles away in China, there is actually a soulmate of mine? His views on life and death, on love, and on the world are so similar to mine? He is simply the mirror image of my soul in the Eastern world.

Then, having neither fame nor money, he helped promote the book in Europe and the United States.

Although there is a considerable salary, Neil Gaiman is really not doing it for the money.

Lin Xiao said: "The English and French versions of this book were published at the same time. It was officially released about 27 days ago. I heard that it sold well."

Ouyang Tang was silent for a moment.

Because Lin Xiao's words proved that he was not just talking empty words, nor was he trying to please others.

He thought so and did so.

Lin Xiao continued: "Whether it's movies, games, or all cultural industries, we are many years behind foreign countries."

"We have always been passively accepting foreign cultural inputs. We are a typical cultural disadvantaged group."

“Even in the most typical Internet industries, we lag behind the United States in all aspects.”

"Our domestic Internet companies only know how to do one thing, which is plagiarism."

"When email became popular abroad, we started to make email. When portal websites became popular abroad, we started to make portals. When ICQ became popular abroad, we copied OICQ."

"If we keep imitating others like this, how long will it take for us to catch up with others?"

"Although my Itchy Live Streaming Room has received various criticisms, it is at least the first of its kind in the industry and a brand new format. At least I dare to be the first."

“There are no similar products at home or abroad.”

Ouyang Tang also had to admit this.

"We only have a few hundred thousand yuan in capital. We want to rise in the shortest possible time, make a lot of money, and then realize our next dream."

Ouyang Tang asked: "So what exactly is your ideal?"

Lin Xiao said: "Create a brand new, advanced Internet industry, first establish a foothold in China, then go abroad and conquer neighboring countries."

"At least we can radiate the Internet to the countries around us, carry out strong cultural output, and establish our own Internet surrounding sphere of influence."

Ouyang Tang was indeed surprised by this ideal.

But... no matter whether it is big talk or empty talk.

But these words really hit her heart.

He is in charge of external cultural exports and knows very well how weak they are. No matter how much money he spends, he can only attract a group of people to applaud, and then it will be useless.

Just looking at the Internet industry alone, it is the American giants that are conquering the world, while domestic Internet companies are all learning from others and fighting each other domestically. Is there any one that wants to go overseas?

Going overseas, what a fascinating word.

Of course, what Lin Xiao said was not entirely empty talk. The Internet world seemed to be another world territory.

Even 20 years later, the United States is still the absolute overlord of this virtual territory. TT barely managed to pry open a piece of territory, but also faced the risk of being hit and destroyed.

But this goal is indeed a bit far away, and I am not very familiar with Ouyang Tang, so I can only try it briefly.

"As for the justice of the result, is the justice of the process important? I dare not say that."

"And it's not for me to judge, so now that you're here, I'll leave it to you to judge."

At this time, Lin Xiao's cell phone rang.

He took a look and saw that it was Wang Liang from Wanjuan Company, so he just hung up.

At this moment, Ouyang Tang's face suddenly twitched and he instinctively covered his stomach.

"Do you have a stomachache? Haven't you eaten yet?" Lin Xiao said, "I... I have some porridge here, would you like a bowl?"

Ouyang Tang nodded and said, "Then give me a bowl."

Soon, Lin Xiao brought a bowl of porridge.

Ouyang Tang couldn't help but be slightly startled because she saw a bowl of pickled soybeans with chili peppers.

What a familiar side dish! She used to eat it often when she was a child, but she never ate it again after she grew up and her mother became disabled.

Although you can buy it outside, the taste is always not quite right.

I like to make the soybeans very crispy when I buy this side dish. There are also very soft ones, but they are all black and have a bit of the taste of fermented black beans.

It doesn’t have the kind that tastes very floury but is full of soybean flavor.

This is actually quite difficult to make, and is all done by hand by rural women.

As soon as Ouyang Tang put it in her mouth, she immediately felt that familiar taste, the same taste as her mother's when she was a child.

So delicious.

This thing is obviously not what people like, because it takes at least a month of fermentation to have this taste.

"Did your mother make it?" Ouyang Tang asked.

"I made it myself." Lin Xiao said, "Because I really like it, so I figured it out and made it myself."

"I have stored several jars of it in the company, and we can't do without it for every meal."

At this time, Lin Xiao's cell phone rang again. It was Wang Liang again.

Lin Xiao was about to press it again.

Ouyang Tang said: "Take it."

Lin Xiao immediately walked out the door and answered a call from Wang Liang from Wanjuan Company.

"Master, Master, great news."

"Our book, The Graveyard Book, is going to be nominated for the Hugo Award. That's the Hugo Award!"

Lin Xiao said: "That's really great news."

Then he walked in and said to Ouyang Tang: "I just got the news that The Graveyard Book may be nominated for the Hugo Award."

Ouyang Tang's eyes lit up. She had been in charge of related work in the cultural department and knew how rare this was and what an incredible honor it was.

The young man in front of me is really talented.

"Okay, go and do your thing."

Lin Xiao said: "Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll add more for you."

Ouyang Tang nodded, and when Lin Xiao walked out of the door, she suddenly said, "Are you Little Water Drop's boyfriend?"

Lin Xiao was surprised: "You, you know Lian Yi?"

Ouyang Tang said: "It's more than just acquaintance."

Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm not her boyfriend..."

Then, his face darkened and he said, "It's over before we even started."

Ouyang Tang asked: "Why?"

Lin Xiao said: "Aunt Shu Wan disagrees."

Ouyang Tang sneered inwardly, that woman was indeed still so... vulgar.

For some reason, she actually felt a little bit of a sense of solidarity.

After Lin Xiao left, Ouyang Tang took out his cell phone and wrote a text message.

My old classmate, this Lin Xiao is very good, talented, idealistic and proactive.

But after hesitating for a moment, I deleted it.

One is because of work discipline, and the other is because of women's modesty.

But at least her eyes were completely softened now, she was eating porridge with a spoon and chewing the pickled soybeans with chili slowly.

Savor this familiar yet unfamiliar taste.

……………………

The working group paused their work and started eating the boxed lunches they had ordered.

Lin Xiao came to Yu Yang and said, "Sister Yu Yang, do you still remember me?"

Yu Yang said: "It looks so familiar, but I can't remember it all of a sudden."

Lin Xiao said: "It was a train heading south from Beijing. You and your boyfriend were heading south to look for jobs."

Yu Yang said: "I remember that you were going to take the entrance exam to Fudan University."

Lin Xiao said: "Yes, yes, it's me."

Yu Yang said: "You have changed so much, you have grown a lot taller."

He also became much more handsome.

Lin Xiao said: "Congratulations, you have found a job you dream of."

Yu Yang said: "Thank you."

In fact, it was very difficult to find this job. Even though she and her boyfriend Jiang Yixing graduated from Beijing Broadcasting Institute, major newspapers would not accept them. Only some local newspapers were willing to accept them.

After hitting a wall everywhere, there was light at the end of the tunnel. One of their former teachers left the school and became the editor-in-chief of the Nanfeng Daily.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Therefore, the two of them successfully entered this big media.

Of course, she would not tell Lin Xiaoming about this.

Then Yu Yang asked, "How was your college entrance examination?"

Lin Xiao said: "Not bad."

Yu Yang asked, "How many points? Can I get into Fudan University?"

Lin Xiao said: "696 points."

Suddenly, Yu Yang was surprised.

So tall? What a nerd.

"Your score is good enough for admission to Peking University or Tsinghua University, so why are you going to Fudan University?"

Lin Xiao said: "I still plan to go to Fudan."

Yu Yang said: "By the way, why are you here?"

Lin Xiao said: "I am here to help. I wrote the program for their website."

Then, Lin Xiao said: "Sister Yu Yang, Senior Brother Jiang, I am also a member of this company, so please show some mercy."

Yu Yang whispered, "We are just doing odd jobs, following the editor-in-chief to get some experience."

Her boyfriend Jiang Yixing sneered, "You are so young, but you are already doing evil things here. Your company is doing shady things, affecting the harmony of the Internet and destroying the growth of young people. It should be banned. Don't say we don't have this friendship. Even if we do have this friendship, don't expect us to be partial to you."

"We both need to avoid suspicion, so please don't talk to us, and don't humiliate our ethics as journalists."

Yu Yang immediately pushed him aside and said, "What are you doing? Is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"

Jiang Yixing said, "What are you doing? What's there to talk about with someone like you? Didn't you listen to what he said? He wrote the program for this website, and he is just as bad as you."

Lin Xiao glanced at him indifferently.

So righteous? You were so impatient on the train berth, you don't want to be too serious.

Not to mention the Yinji website, you must have visited many foreign websites with large scale.

Pretty good, pretty good.

Since you are so righteous, I would be embarrassed not to let you be a cannon fodder.

………………

Lin Xiao and Xia Xi were having a secret conversation.

Xia Xi said: "I have inquired about it. There are two forces that want to deal with us now."

"The first force is the Liao family. This is entirely my fault."

"As his so-called fiancée, I not only refused to marry him, but also engaged in this gray industry, which damaged his reputation. In fact, he contacted me two months ago and hoped that I would quit Lightning Technology, but I ignored him."

"Guess who the second force is?"

Lin Xiao said: "They want to acquire our capital forces."

"Right, smart." Xia Xi said, "Our development has attracted and tempted them."

"They wanted to acquire us, but were reluctant to pay such a high price, so they suppressed us first, and then reached out to rescue us, becoming our lifeline and buying the Itchy Live Studio at the lowest price."

Lin Xiao said: "So our opportunity has come."

"Recently, we have been spending a lot of money to maintain the popularity of the Yanyan live broadcast room and create the illusion that it is getting more and more popular."

"The group had already started to decline some time ago, but we spent money to sponsor the Rose Date, and with Ou Feifei's stunning turn in the Youth Song Contest, we were able to barely regain its popularity."

"But manpower is limited after all, and now a great opportunity has arrived."

"As long as it is operated properly, the popularity of Yangyang's live broadcast room will not only soar, but also reach new peak heights."

So what other opportunities could lead to a surge in the number of Yanyan live broadcasts? It’s simple! They could create hype by saying that it might be banned.

Many people were not interested in it originally, but if you say you want to ban it, then countless people may become interested in it.

Many people had stopped watching it originally, but when you said it might be banned, it suddenly became precious to me, so I had to watch it and I watched it every day.

By that time, Lin Xiao was worried that this astronomical wave of traffic would be so large that it would overwhelm all the current live broadcast rooms.

"By then, we will cash out at the highest price, make a lot of money, and become tragic heroes, gaining support from countless people."

Xia Xi said: "I understand your routine, but the key is that Ouyang Si."

Lin Xiao said: "I know."

That's my second mother-in-law, although there is basically no problem.

But Lin Xiao will continue to increase the intensity and deepen the relationship.

"The reporter from the Southern Wind Daily, Jiang Yixing, tried to get his cell phone number and QQ number."

"Since he has come to our door, we can use him to light this fire."

"Let's make our Itchy Live Broadcast Room more and more popular."

……………………

The working group's two-day inspection ended.

The group evacuated the business park.

Everyone was a little excited, because you only pick the weak ones.

Lightning Technology is the smallest and has no power behind it, making it the most suitable tool to serve as a warning to others.

But Ouyang Tang had already made up his mind, and it was just a lot of noise but little rain.

Lift high and put down gently.

The most he would have to do was drink three glasses of wine as punishment.

Seeing everyone talking, Ouyang Tang said directly: "Pay attention to work discipline."

"Even friends in the media should pay attention to work discipline."

Next, the people in the car started discussing other gossip.

"Do you know? This handsome boy is the boss of Lightning Technology."

"Oh my god? How is it possible? He is so young, but he has created such a big company? This company has a monthly income of several million."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

She thought Lin Xiao was working there, but she didn't expect him to be the boss? He didn't even go to college.

So he couldn't help but look at his boyfriend Jiang Yihang standing next to him.

Jiang Yihang sneered and said, "You are still young and don't learn well. This Itchy Live Broadcast Room is a big cancer and should be completely banned."

……………………

After returning to his residence, Yu Yang's boyfriend Jiang Yixing was filled with indignation and wrote an article in a very eloquent manner.

Title: "Yanyang Live Room, the number one cancer on the Internet, how long will it continue to harm the world?"

There are also many pictures.

It was obvious that those anchors were frustrated because they couldn't go on the live broadcast, but he used filters and added text to make it feel like they were forcing them to do illegal live broadcasts.

Then, I wrote the second article.

"The time for Yanyan Live to endanger the world is running out. The countdown to its ban has begun."

This is a passionate article, saying that the working group obtained a large amount of evidence during the Lightning Technology investigation and believed that there would be results soon.

It wasn't entirely because he was hostile to Lin Xiao. He just saw that there wasn't that much hostility between the two sides. He just wanted to stand out and gain popularity.

After finishing writing, he gave it to his girlfriend Yu Yang to read.

Yu Yang said, "Are you crazy? Ouyang Si has said that we should pay attention to work discipline. She hasn't set the tone yet, and you're posting articles calling for war and killing?"

Jiang Yixing said: "This is the conscience and ethics of our journalistic profession. This is also the most difficult opportunity. How many of our predecessors relied on this to break through the siege, rise to become great journalists, and achieve great fame?"

This is true, he has too many role models before him.

"Are we going to remain unknown and become little reporters?"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Yanyang's live broadcast room has no backing, so it can be a stepping stone for us to build our reputation."

Yu Yang suddenly said, "You are jealous because you see that Lin Xiao is only 19 years old and has built such a big business."

Jiang Yihang suddenly exploded: "What do you mean? Do you despise me for not having money? You flirted with him at Lightning Technology and praised him in front of me. Do you mean that?"

"Besides, he deserves to be banned and dealt with for making money in such an unscrupulous way."

Yu Yang said: "What about you? Don't you visit many foreign websites? At least Yangwang and Yangyang Live Room are not over the line."

Then, Yu Yang said gently: "I just think that we should not take this kind of risk and be more cautious. Besides, we have met Lin Xiao several times after all, and we still have some friendship."

Incense and fire?! Jiang and his entourage were completely disgusted.

After the two parted unhappily, Jiang and his team sat in front of the computer and began to weigh the pros and cons of whether to submit the two articles and whether to post them on the Internet.

Even though he yells a lot, he's actually getting timid.

At this time, someone added his QQ, with a Hong Kong IP.

The two people had a brief but in-depth exchange.

"Fifty thousand dollars, deposited into your PAYPAL account, no one will know."

"I will immediately publish these two articles on the entire Internet, and don't be afraid of being punished. In your system, the more you are criticized, the more popular you will be, and the more you can stand out, like a Boting stick."

“We would also be happy to invite you to be our editor-in-chief in the future.”

Jiang and his party opened their PAYPAL accounts and saw a total of 6,300 US dollars.

Grit your teeth and stomp your feet!

The time has come for you to become famous and renowned!

Click the mouse in your hand.

Suddenly, two articles were published.

"Yanyang Live Room, the number one cancer on the Internet, how long will it continue to harm the world?"

"The time for Yanyan's live broadcast room to endanger the world is running out. The countdown has officially begun."

In just three days, these two articles caused a huge uproar on the Internet! ………………

Note: Here is the first update. I am very close to the monthly ticket list. Can you help me? I have 12,000 per day and I can't update any more.
