Chapter 117 Harvest time, sky-high price!

Inside the detention center.

When Lin Xiao saw Jiang and his group, he had regained his consciousness a little, but was now filled with fear and depression.

The glory that lasted less than a month seems like a fleeting dream.

After seeing Lin Xiao, his first reaction was not to scold or roar, but to call for help.

"Lin Xiao, save me."

"For the sake of our past acquaintance, please save me and spare me this time."

"I really know I was wrong."

"I admit my mistake to you, please forgive me this time, please."

Lin Xiao sat opposite and said, "Why did you attack me? We have no grudges against each other."

When he was first arrested, he might have been very sad and angry.

But now... I have completely calmed down, leaving only boundless fear and a trace of inexplicable regret.

It seems like I regret it, but it also seems like I don’t regret it.

Jiang Yihang was silent for a while, then said sadly, "You, you have grown up too fast. When I met you a year ago, you were still a poor high school student. When I saw you again a year later, you have grown so much taller, become more handsome, and now run a company."

"I've been paying attention to my girlfriend. When she saw you, her eyes almost lit up."

"She pretended not to know that you were the boss of the company and asked you what you did at Lightning Technology. You said you were an employee and she didn't show any sign of surprise."

Is this actually happening?

Jiang Yixing said: "There are three major professions in this world: fame and fortune, officialdom, finance, and media."

"Do you know the class here, how naked the fame and fortune are?"

"After we entered this circle, apart from the initial excitement, we immediately found ourselves at the bottom. Do you know how uncomfortable that feeling is?"

"At this time, as long as there is an opportunity to move up, we will really try our best."

"You may not know, but our relationship was in crisis half a year ago. Although we didn't break up, she was already looking for other opportunities. She is beautiful, and she quickly discovered this advantage. She is releasing her beauty everywhere and looking for more possibilities."

"I accidentally looked at her phone and found that she was having affairs with four or five people at the same time. Do you know how painful it was for me?"

"I swore at that time that if I was given a chance, I would seize it and work hard to climb up and become a superior person."

Lin Xiao said: "But, she didn't participate in the attack on us this time."

Jiang Yihang sneered, "That's because she has already found a good high branch and doesn't need to take risks."

"Yu Yang is a vain woman who dresses herself up as prey."

Lin Xiao smiled lightly and didn't take it too seriously.

People are very complicated. What Jiang Yihang said might be true, but it is also possible that hatred blinded his eyes and caused him to say 6 points was 10 points.

After all, many people become enemies after breaking up, and Jiang Yihang in front of him also attributed his experience to Yu Yang to a large extent.

Lin Xiao said: "You know, how many years you are sentenced to depends largely on us. After all, your main crime is blackmailing us and illegally accepting bribes, etc."

"If you want a shorter sentence, explain yourself."

"Who exactly contacted you and who asked you to smear us?"

Jiang Yixing said, "I will confess. I will definitely confess."

……………………

The second-in-command of TOM.com, Mr. Wang Leilei, is a third-generation rich man.

He has been very anxious lately.

Although Xiao Li Chaoren is the boss of TOM, he has too many industries, with a scale of hundreds of billions. TOM is just a small part of it, so in the future, the entire TOM will probably be handed over to him.

Relying on the support of mobile SP, TOM rose rapidly.

But it is still a second-tier city, and there is still some distance between it and the major first-tier portals.

Therefore, he had to expand at the fastest speed and reach the front line in the shortest time possible.

Mergers and acquisitions are the fastest way.

Therefore, he set his sights on the Yangyang live broadcast room.

Time waits for no one. If we do not advance, we will retreat.

Zhou Yunfan and Yang Yun’s Kongzhong.com has been thriving for less than half a year.

This group of elite entrepreneurs who can make the wind and rain call the wind all have one characteristic, that is, fast, fast, fast.

Start up quickly, expand quickly, and go public quickly.

Of course, because they are fast, they are not very patient. Once they can't make a lot of money in a certain business, they will immediately withdraw and won't entangle with it.

Anyway, they have plenty of opportunities and plenty of gold mines.

But...some industries really can't be achieved quickly, they require enough patience and persistence.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this trend, completely suppress the Yangyang live broadcast room, and then acquire it at a very low price.

But I didn't expect that the other party could survive this storm.

At the critical moment, a Hugo Award unexpectedly came from thousands of miles away.

Of course, in their opinion this award was of no importance, but the other party also had people, and they were from the cultural department, so they could just use this award to make something of themselves, and taking this as an opportunity, they directly lifted up the Yangyang live broadcast room high and then gently put it down.

What kind of punishment is a 15-day suspension? And it starts from the day when Yanyan's live broadcast room is actively closed, which means that it can be lifted on August 21.

This won't work.

According to the current situation, after the ban is lifted on August 21, the Yangyang live broadcast room will definitely soar to success.

By that time, Xia Xi and that leader Ergou no longer wanted to sell it.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Wang made a phone call.

"Second Brother Liao, are we just going to let Xia Xi's matter go?"

"The cultural department in charge has let it go, so what else can we do?"

President Wang asked, "Can we take action on the information industry side?"

"No, this company is too small. Two departments are arguing over such a small company. What a joke!"

At this moment, the ownership of the Internet is still unclear. The cultural and information industry departments both have the right to guide it, and other departments will be added in the future. Sometimes the disputes are so serious that it is unbearable, such as the "World of Warcraft" incident.

Mr. Wang said, "Can we do this? Since the ban has been lifted, let them correct themselves. Can we send a few staff members to guide them on how to operate their business after they open?"

"That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"

The other party understood it immediately, this is indeed possible.

That is, after the opening, when you resume broadcasting, you can’t have excessive performances, you have to keep it bland.

In that case, I don't believe you can get up there with the water.

In this case, you will ultimately have no choice but to sell the company.

And if the cash flow doesn’t increase, we can lower the price.

But what he didn't know was that Lin Xiao had always wanted to sell the company.

And you can't sell it voluntarily, you have to be forced to sell it, and become a tragic hero.

The kind that makes tens of millions with tears in eyes.

…………………………………………

"Lin Xiao, I'm sorry. I didn't expect him to become like this. I have tried to persuade him many times, but it didn't work. I even broke up with him because of this."

On this day, Lin Xiao actually received a text message from Yang.

Lin Xiao replied: "It's okay, it's all over."

Yu Yang: "You've changed so much. When I saw you that day, I almost didn't recognize you."

Lin Xiao: "Really? Sister Yu Yang, you have changed so much that I couldn't recognize you at the time."

Yu Yang: "Has it become uglier?"

Lin Xiao: “No, no.”

Yu Yang: "Then what happened? Tell me."

Something is wrong. It seems that what Jiang Yihang said is true.

After becoming rich in his previous life, Lin Xiao dealt with tea girls almost every day, each getting what they needed.

I could smell a hint of tea right away.

Lin Xiao: "Sister Yu Yang, you have become so sexy and feminine."

Yu Yang: "Humph, you are so smooth-talking even at such a young age."

Lin Xiao: "It's true, it's true, I swear."

Yu Yang raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Although the other party was young and started a business, he was still immature when it came to women.

With a slight hook, he seemed to have taken the bait, but that was pretty much the end of our first dealings.

Thinking of her boyfriend Jiang Yixing, her heart darkened a little and she sighed.

Although we have broken up, it was my first love after all, and I still feel pain when I think about it.

Lin Xiao deleted the text message directly and didn't have much intention to play the game.

The other party's tea art is still too shallow, and he doesn't have much free time right now, otherwise it would be quite interesting to play with it like this.

……………………

Next, Lin Xiao’s only focus was on how to sell Yangwang and Yangyang’s live broadcast room at a high price.

After the decision of the relevant departments came out, the negotiations between the two sides were suspended.

Because everyone is waiting for the popularity and income of Yangyang’s live broadcast room after the ban is lifted on August 21.

If popularity explodes, income will skyrocket.

Then you can ask for an exorbitant price.

On the contrary, if popularity is low and revenue is sluggish, the price will be lowered.

All the anchors in the entire Yangyang live broadcast room are gearing up and waiting for the ban to be lifted on the 21st.

At this time, the news of Jiang and his party's arrest had not been spread on the Internet.

Looking at these young ladies preparing various sexy costumes, Lin Xiao held a meeting.

"After the ban is lifted on the 21st, everyone must dress conservatively."

"And we can't do over-the-top performances. We have to do positive performances."

“We must not only promote positive energy, but also actively promote mainstream values.”

Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

"Boss, who's going to watch this?"

Under normal circumstances, no one will watch it, but under certain circumstances, someone will watch it.

Because there’s a sense of absurdism.

This is an extreme contrast, similar to a porn star playing an exaggerated theme in a serious manner.

It achieved the kind of effect that I never expected in "Chinese Captain Shi Aimin" and "People's Sadako".

And this is a special time.

The fans in Yangyang’s live broadcast room have nowhere to vent.

Leader Ergou won the Hugo Award, and the depression caused by the closure of Yangyang's live broadcast room had nowhere to be released.

At this time, all the live broadcast rooms performing extremely contrasting performances will actually arouse their sympathy.

………………

Sure enough, Lin Xiao was right to prepare for a rainy day.

On August 19, eight expert guidance groups entered Lightning Technology. This time they had no official identities and were all professors and experts in related fields.

He said he was ordered to guide the resumption of broadcasting in Yangyang's live broadcast room.

Xia Xi expressed a warm welcome to the group and even organized a welcome banquet.

I finally got you here.

"Mr. Xia, please don't get emotional. We are doing this for the long-term development of your company."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"After all, only the right path can go further."

"Don't worry, we won't stay too long, just half a month or so. Once we've given you enough guidance, we'll go back."

"I don't dislike you, hahaha."

………………

August 21st.

The Yangyang live broadcast room has officially resumed broadcasting.

Almost in an instant, the entire website and the entire software almost crashed.

There are too many things pouring in.

This is normal because the previous incident was so huge and caused so much uproar.

Everyone is waiting for the rerun, a bit like revenge watching.

In fact, most of these people are not very interested in the content of the next live broadcast, they just want to show their support.

It's just that I'm unable to release my indignation about the previous ban on the Yanyan live broadcast room.

Of course, there are still many people who just come to watch the fun and see whether Yangyang’s live broadcast room is dead or not.

But when I saw the content of the live broadcast, I was completely shocked.

I… where have I entered? These live broadcast rooms are more mainstream and more positive than the other.

Especially Miranda, a foreign woman, who was wearing traditional Chinese clothes and singing The Red Lantern.

In the live broadcast room of Tang Caifeng, who originally performed the most coquettishly, she was performing "White Haired Girl" with several female anchors.

What the hell is going on? Where did this get me?

Am I still on Earth?

Is this so absurdly realistic?

Lin Xiao, on his part, was still meticulously telling the story of "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty", and happened to be talking about the part about Jiajing and Yan Song, and the part about Hai Rui.

Qu Feifei’s live broadcast room is no longer filled with cursing, but with singing.

Xia Xi said to the expert guidance group: "Dear experts, if there are any deficiencies, please feel free to give us guidance."

The expert group was also confused.

This... this is just bullshit guidance.

Isn’t this too mainstream?

………………

S Fox, X Lang, TOM, Miyazaki and others were also completely stunned.

This... this is also okay? If it doesn't touch the edge, people will still watch it? Actually, not many people really like to watch it.

But...it is precisely this thing similar to performance art that has once again set off a craze on the Internet.

The contrast is too great.

Everyone is waiting to see what changes will be made to the Yanwang live broadcast room after the ban is lifted and broadcasts resume.

The result... was so subversive and absurd.

Countless people who came to watch the fun rushed in.

Then Lin Xiao tried to let them perform live clips such as "The People's Sadako".

Not only that, they also tried to perform the spoofs of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, White Snake and Xu Xian, which were wildly circulated in short videos, in several live broadcast rooms.

It cannot be performed in its entirety, but the funniest and most classic segments can still be performed.

The crowds that originally flocked in were either there to watch the fun or to watch the live broadcast as revenge.

As a result, these jokes are really attractive.

In the era of TikTok, these jokes are enduring. Although I don’t know how many times I have seen them, every time I see them, I will stop and watch them to the end.

As a result, classics are classics and have strong currency at all times.

Everyone was stunned. How could they play it like this?

However……

However, Lin Xiao knew clearly that these jokes could attract traffic and generate topics, but... they could not be turned into money.

It can only bring a false popularity boom.

The massive influx of spectators was just there to watch the fun and laugh at the joke.

The ones who really spend money are the die-hard fans.

Those die-hard fans who had charged into battle and fought everywhere.

When they saw this scene, they didn't find it funny at all, they just felt sad and angry.

They just feel that the Yangyang live broadcast room is still being persecuted and on the verge of being banned.

The inner resentment and grief were transformed into motivation to make money.

We must fight, we must defend the Yanyan Live Room.

We must defend the itch network.

so……

It creates a false impression.

The Yangyang live broadcast room resumed broadcasting 15 days after being shut down, and the traffic and revenue flow continued to be hot.

Especially the various strange and bizarre ways of playing demonstrated by Lin Xiao made them feel like they had opened up a new world.

It seems that the live broadcast market is huge. It not only relies on dancing and marginal performances, but also has many other ways to play.

In fact, Lin Xiao still has a big move that he hasn’t used yet.

Once used, it can take this story and this false prosperity to a higher level.

The expert group within Lightning Technology would occasionally accidentally glimpse the background data of Yangyang's live broadcast room.

We saw traffic and revenue soaring.

Just like their pounding hearts, every jump in these numbers smells like money.

………………

Looking at this grand occasion, Lucas couldn't help himself, and Lu Yanfeng of S Fox couldn't sit still either.

The acquisition negotiations that had been previously suspended have been restarted.

Lucas quickly reported to Tom's President Wang: "President Wang, we have to act quickly. Among the four offensive and defensive alliances, only Miyazaki can barely hold on. The remaining two may not be able to hold on."

“After being banned for half a month, the Yanyan live broadcast room is still so popular even without that kind of performance, and new gameplay comes one after another, which makes them see a new future.”

"If we don't take action, someone else will."

The next day, Lu Yanfeng took the initiative to find Xia Xi and started negotiations again.

At this point, the offensive and defensive alliance between the four parties officially broke down.

"Fifty million..." Lu Yanfeng said, "Twenty million of which will be redeemed in our S Fox stocks. After the acquisition, we will vigorously develop this business group. You will still be in charge, and you will also become one of our company's vice presidents."

"Boss Xia, this is really our highest condition, and also the best condition."

“We give not only money but also the future.”

"Your power is too small, and we are a giant, so we can make this business bigger. And after being acquired by us, you can expand and move forward as much as you want, and all the unfair treatment you encountered before will be gone."

Before the change, Xia Xi would definitely be very excited.

But Ergou said it very clearly, live streaming will definitely be a huge trend in the future, but it is not like that now. Now this trend has been created in a short period of time entirely due to brand-new concepts and brand-new visual stimulation.

It's just a false prosperity, a big bubble that has been blown up.

Therefore, you should sell at the highest price and cash out before this bubble bursts.

There are too many bubbles like this on the Internet.

Those bubbles that have not been proven can all be sold for a lot of money. And Lightning Technology is a bubble that has been proven to have traffic and revenue, not to mention how gorgeous it is.

Then, Xlang also sent people to negotiate. They offered a similar price, but were willing to exchange a certain percentage of their own shares.

Finally, TOM's Lucas couldn't sit still anymore.

"Fifty-eight million..."

"Fifty-eight million..."

He shouted out the price with all his might.

"Buy all, 100 percent."

Xia Xi didn't say anything, but took out her laptop and opened the backstage to show the other party.

"I won't show you the online data because it's all full. So it hasn't been able to increase for a long time. We don't have enough servers."

"But the download numbers, the registered user numbers, have been skyrocketing, and of course you could argue that we're cheating."

The number of registered users is real and not cheated.

This number has been skyrocketing and has exceeded 4.5 million, which is two or three times the number of Liaoliao.

So now the reality that Lightning Technology is showing to the outside world is that it is developing too fast and we no longer have the power to control it.

These giants have unlimited imagination but no strength, but I do.

In my hands, it can expand to its heart's content.

Lucas said: "There is no need to say these, we all know it."

"Be direct, how much do you want?"

Xia Xi raised a finger: "Ten million dollars!"

………………

Note: The second update is here. It’s the end of the month. Don’t waste your monthly tickets, benefactor! (End of this chapter)
