Chapter 178 Liao Feng Hears the Bad News and Meets Him on a Narrow Road

Wu Lingxi was really stunned for a while, and couldn't calm down!

Ever since Facebook removed Alexa's toolbar, data about Facebook can basically only be guessed.

Of course, another part of it is based on the leak of internal information from Facebook.

After all, the number of people in the company has reached nearly 200, and it is almost impossible to keep it completely confidential.

So in August, Liao Feng and Wu Lingxi had a rough estimate of Facebook's user numbers, which was about 800,000.

Although it is an underestimate, it is close.

After September 6, Facebook launched its third campaign, although it was very low-key and without much fanfare.

But Liao Feng was so-called lenient in predicting the enemy, thinking that doubling was already a remarkable number, so his prediction for Facebook was between 1.5 million and 1.6 million.

As a result, the actual amount that popped out was five million! How could Wu Lingxi not be stunned instantly?

It took her a long while to calm down.

She entered Facebook again and looked carefully at the content data.

But I really can’t tell anything. When there were only a few thousand or tens of thousands of users before, I could roughly infer it.

But now, both the number of active users and the number of posts on social networks have been hidden.

Facebook’s activity level was very high before, so there is no trace of it at all.

After the emotional blow, there comes doubt.

Impossible! It's really impossible.

Wu Lingxi felt that she was the person who had the highest opinion of Facebook and the one who had studied it the most deeply and thoroughly.

She has played the full version of "Plants vs. Zombies" four or five times.

The power of this game has been greatly overestimated.

And according to all their experience, the best-selling games in the country only have a score of a few hundred thousand points.

Even if we include pirated users, the number would be no more than one or two million at most, right?

As for StarCraft, Age of Empires, and CS, they are complete exceptions.

That was pre-installed in the Internet cafe.

So, is Facebook falsifying the numbers? Seeing that Lingxi Island received a $25 million investment and Lingxi Island announced last month that it had exceeded 4 million registered users, Facebook made a big announcement, claiming that its registered users had exceeded 5 million? After all, if Facebook wanted to, it could have registered countless new accounts.

but……

Although Wu Lingxi and Lin Xiao had very little contact, they had an instinctive intuition.

He probably, possibly, wouldn't lie.

But if this is true, it will be completely bad news for Lingxi Island.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Lingxi took out her cell phone and dialed Liao Feng's number.

result……

No one answered! ………………

Liao Feng and Miyazaki were also guests at the premiere of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".

For the purpose of publicity, the film crew had a simple collaboration with Lingxi Island.

On the other hand, Kongzhong has long cooperated with major film companies and provided some SMS interactive services.

However, the premiere had not started yet, and Liao Feng and Miyazaki went to attend a high-level meeting.

During this kind of meeting, you must turn off your phone.

The premiere of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was held on a grand scale this time, after all, it is the only blockbuster film competing for Oscars next year.

Movies these days are really awesome. That year, "Hero" held its premiere in the Great Hall.

The fan meeting of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was held at the Duanmen Gate of the Forbidden City.

Because Duanmen is auspicious, ancient emperors had to pass through Duanmen when fighting wars or offering sacrifices.

At this meeting, director He Ping, actors Jiang Wen, Zhao Wei, Nakai Takaichi, Wang Xueqi and others appeared.

Directly on top of the city wall of Duanmen.

There were hundreds of media outlets present.

Compared with Lin Xiao’s Facebook Night, this momentum is far superior.

So it was normal for Jiang Wen to cancel his contract with Facebook Night and go to reshoot the relevant scenes.

As for Lin Xiao and Li Shuang, although it was Jiang Wen who called to invite them.

But... when he agreed, people were a little stunned.

As for the participants, they were not VIPs, but just colleagues from the media.

Four hundred media and industry insiders were invited to this premiere.

Lin Xiao and Li Shuang account for 4.2%.

Therefore, I will definitely not join in the fun at Duanmen, and will just go to the Oriental Century Cinema in Wangfujing to watch a movie.

And now, Lin Xiao was walking with Li Shuang in the ancient alleys with great interest.

During this period, Li Shuang was so busy that he didn't know day or night.

It can be said that the effort she and Zhang Yan put into "If You Are the One" far exceeds that of Jiangnan TV in history.

She even wanted to draw out many shots like she was making a movie.

After working hard for several months, I am about to face the big test.

On the 25th and 26th, we will start the official recording.

Four episodes were recorded consecutively in two days.

Li Shuang, who was originally so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down, suffered from insomnia again.

Lin Xiao simply grabbed her and asked her to attend this so-called premiere to relax.

Those who are good at studying know that they should work very hard in normal times, and relax a few days before the exam.

Only poor students memorize formulas in half an hour before the exam.

"I heard that Faye Wong emptied her urinal in an alley. Which alley was it?"

“No wonder these alleys stink so bad.”

"That Jiang Li'er came to see me yesterday. In order to please me, she sold all your secrets to me." Li Shuang suddenly smiled while holding Lin Xiao's arm.

Lin Xiao was stunned: "I still have secrets in front of you? What did she say?"

Li Shuang was embarrassed and whispered in Lin Xiao's ear: "I was still in Hong Kong at the time. When I was video chatting with you, you were in Jingjing Internet Cafe. She said that after you video chatted with me, you went into the bathroom and didn't come out for a long time."

In fact, she regretted it after she said it.

Too ambiguous.

But every time, I can't help but say these ambiguous and provocative words in my heart.

After listening to this, Lin Xiao had only two words in his mind! Mantou monster, you are really good at spreading rumors.

Wasn't it she who asked Lin Xiao if he wanted to go to the bathroom? "Sister Shuang, I didn't go to the bathroom at that time, but I kind of want to go now."

Because tonight was very formal, Li Shuang wore a very sexy dress.

It makes her sexy and hot body look even more exaggerated.

The waist and hip curves make people excited.

Moreover, she was holding Lin Xiao's arm as normal, and would accidentally rub against him.

"Bah!" Li Shuang spat lightly at Lin Xiao's face.

Lin Xiao suddenly asked: "Sister Shuang, you are so busy recently, do you still exercise?"

Li Shuang quickly looked at her figure and asked, "What's wrong? Have my curves faded a bit?"

Lin Xiao: “A little bit.”

For a moment, Li Shuang felt a little unconfident.

No, because of the great pressure, her exercise time did not decrease, but increased instead.

But he soon realized that Lin Xiao was just teasing him.

She asked with a soft look in her eyes, "So, tell me, where has your figure declined?"

But as soon as I finished speaking, I felt a little regretful.

She knew clearly that this little scumbag in front of her was two-timing, and she must not bring trouble upon herself.

But sometimes I can't help but stir up that dangerous fire.

………………

Liao Feng and Miyazaki just came out of the meeting.

Open the phone and take a look.

I was immediately shocked.

What happened? Why are there so many missed calls?

There are so many text messages? And the one who called the most was Wu Lingxi.

Liao Feng quickly called back.

"What happened?"

Wu Lingxi said directly: "Facebook announced that the number of registered users has exceeded 5 million!"

What?!

Liao Feng's brain seemed to have crashed! "Impossible!"

"What a joke, that's absolutely impossible!" After being shocked, Liao Feng's reaction was complete disbelief.

If Wu Lingxi felt a critical hit.

Liao Feng was completely skeptical.

On the other side, Miyazaki also received a text message from Chen Yizhou.

"Facebook announces registered users, exceeding 5 million!"

After receiving the text message, Miyazaki trembled slightly. He instinctively wanted to tell Liao Feng, but when he saw the other party's condition, he knew it was no longer necessary.

Then, the two of them rushed to a place with internet access as quickly as possible.

Directly open the Facebook homepage.

Sure enough, they also saw the special effects of the fireworks and the good news of five million.

The two people fell into silence.

Even both of them were a little flustered, but they couldn't show it.

Liao Feng doesn't smoke much, but he carries a pack of cigarettes with him, mainly for others.

But now he instinctively took out a cigarette, but immediately came to his senses and handed it directly to Miyazaki opposite him.

"Thank you, no thanks!"

He took the iced coffee and took a big gulp.

For some reason, my mouth felt dry and my heart was pounding.

I knew I shouldn't drink coffee so late, but I couldn't help it.

A chill penetrated into his body, and Liao Feng calmed down.

The panic in my heart was also temporarily suppressed.

Taking a deep breath, Liao Feng looked at Miyazaki and said, "Fake!"

"My team and your team have analyzed this many times. Lin Xiao has no money to burn in this third battle. The momentum is very small. He relies entirely on a game."

"Our team of two has carefully analyzed it, and doubling it to 1.6 million is already very impressive."

"Five million?"

"What a joke! The data must be fake."

Miyazaki fell into deep thought.

He has already signed the investment agreement, and his interests are tied to Lingxi Island.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Therefore, the way of thinking will definitely tend to be in favor of one's own interests. The key is if this number is true, what does it mean? It means that Miyazaki's investment is likely to fail, which means that he has completely failed.

Although his family is rich, this venture fund has several major shareholders, and his family is just one of them.

Liao Feng said: "We Lingxi Island put too much pressure on Facebook. They saw that they were about to be completely left behind, so they resorted to this desperate measure and falsified data."

"But he's exaggerating too much. If he said there were 2 million registered users, people would still believe him."

"Five million, are you kidding me?"

Miyazaki was silent for a while: "Lin Xiao is indeed very good at manipulating data. He has a criminal record."

"Last time, Yangyang.com and Yangyang Live Studio were clearly in decline, but he still forged a false prosperity and deceived TOM into taking over for 10 million US dollars."

"Now the situation is very clear. Itchy.com and Itchy Live Studio are not worth 10 million US dollars at all. 6 or 7 million is the limit. It's only because Lucas is too capable and has relied on unusual expansion and the development of SMS games that they have managed to hold on. Otherwise, they would have collapsed long ago."

"The last time he created a false prosperity, he was trying to cash out at a high price. So what is his purpose in falsifying the data this time?"

“Selling Facebook, or to attract venture capital?”

The two were about to have an in-depth discussion when the assistant called.

"Mr. Liao, the movie is about to start."

The two put away their troubled emotions, left the cafe, and took a bus to Wangfujing.

Liao Feng even pretended to be relaxed and said, "There are many fake Internet data these days, both at home and abroad, and Lin Xiao is not the only one."

Having said that, I still feel depressed.

All this happened so suddenly.

………………

Lin Xiao and Li Shuang walked to Oriental Century Cinema in Wangfujing.

There are already huge crowds of people here, including countless media outlets.

Countless flashes of light, to exaggerate a little, turned the area from darkness into day.

The long red carpet is truly star-studded.

There are countless stars who come here, and there are countless big names among them. The influence of the Beijing circle is really great.

The entire red carpet was almost filled with stars, and there were also many screams from fans.

Lin Xiao met Feng Dapao and Xu Fan.

However, he knew the other party. But the other party might not recognize him. Although they had exchanged insults, they had never met.

Historically, Wang Shuo did not seem to attend the premiere.

But this time he actually came, but he didn't walk the red carpet with Xu Jinglei. And his walking posture was very interesting, as if he was very cool, but a little restrained.

"Director Feng, I heard that Heroes of Heaven and Earth is the only domestic film nominated for an Oscar next year. What do you think?"

Feng Dapao: "Don't try to sow discord. I think that's very good, very good."

"Director Feng, I heard that Ergou's second work, Crazy Stone, is about to be completed and may be released in the same period as your Cell Phone. What do you think? Do you think it will pose a threat to your Cell Phone?"

Feng Dapao: "I'm very sorry, I don't care about this person or this movie at all, and I don't intend to cooperate with any of their hype, thank you."

Then, Feng Dapao ignored the reporters and left.

Soon Wang Shuo was surrounded by reporters.

"Teacher Wang, Teacher Wang, facing any of your criticisms, Master Ergou did not respond at all. Does this scene seem familiar to you?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Shuo's face changed a little.

A few years ago, in order to promote his own works, he took the initiative to provoke and attack Jin Yong, but the other party completely ignored him and seemed to be unmoved by anything.

During that period, he was the only one who was engaged in the so-called literary debates. He rarely lost in the verbal battles, but always won, except for the one against Jin Yong. Although the other party did not respond at all, he was at a disadvantage in public opinion.

"The leader of Ergou? How can he be unmoved?" Wang Shuo laughed, "He doesn't dare to provoke me, understand?"

"A person knows his own weight best. He knows his own weight too well, so he doesn't dare to speak."

"You think that's grace? That's cowardice!"

"If you don't believe me, you'll see him later. Go ask him why he lets me laugh and scold you."

The reporter was surprised and asked, "Is the leader Ergou here too?"

Wang Shuo: "Anyway, we have invited him here, it's up to him whether he comes or not. But if I were him, I would definitely not come. Why come? No one treats you as a dish, so what's the point of coming?"

Lin Xiao, who was standing by, was listening with great interest.

Li Shuang came up and asked, "Is it so satisfying to hear others scold you?"

It was a bit noisy at that time. In order to hear clearly, Lin Xiao turned sideways a little bit, and as a result, Li Shuang's lips touched Lin Xiao's cheek.

Lin Xiao is fine yet.

As a result, Li Shuang trembled slightly.

"Really? Why are you doing this so suddenly? You've got lipstick on your face. If the reporters take pictures of you, I'll see how you're going to explain to your two girlfriends, you little scumbag!" Li Shuang took out a wet tissue and gently wiped his cheek.

At this time, the staff behind said: "You two, you can leave now."

Oh, there is a star gap at this time, so you can go.

Li Shuang took Lin Xiao's arm and walked gently across the red carpet.

Reporters just took pictures instinctively.

Who... who is this? A new actor?

He is really handsome.

Wow! This woman is really charming.

The body is really amazing! The reporters were even a little excited. They have seen many celebrities and are not really interested in real celebrities.

It looks good on camera, but in real life it's too thin and shriveled.

The figure of the woman in front of me is what men love most.

Lin Xiao whispered: "Sister, there are so many celebrities along the way, but none of them is as sexy as you, and none of them is as beautiful as you."

Li Shuang: "If you have the guts, go back and tell your two girlfriends about this."

Lin Xiao admitted: "I don't have the courage."

Paopao and Li Shuang have a very good relationship, but you should also be wary of her.

When Li Shuang lived at home, she often hummed, as if she and Lin Xiao were conjoined twins.

And every time we were intimate, the question she asked most often was:

Am I okay? Am I okay like this? Do you like it? It seemed like she needed an answer from Lin Xiao every moment.

Every time Lin Xiao was envious of her, she was very happy and often said, "Why do you like me so much? I'm so good. Why am I different from others?"

The bubbles are very beautiful, even in some places, they are unmatched.

But she needs affirmation all the time.

Secretary Xiao Lian is different. Lin Xiao always makes fun of her for having a small butt and a small bear.

She is very confident and says she is fine. Don't try to fool me.

If Lin Xiao said a few more words, she would use her crab technique and pinch him with her fingers.

But the two of them have one thing in common, which is that they are very easy to coax.

Just a little coaxing and he will be happy immediately.

Seeing Lin Xiao distracted, Li Shuang immediately knew that he must be having wild thoughts about his two girlfriends.

"Scumbag..." Li Shuang felt sour in her heart and pinched Lin Xiao lightly in secret.

In front is the entrance to the cinema, where a group of people are waiting to enter.

There are many security guards and special security equipment.

Shit, a movie premiere is more strictly managed than a conference, mainly to prevent someone from secretly filming and leaking the footage.

When filming "Hero", mobile phones were not allowed, which caused public outrage.

"Heroes of Heaven and Earth" is a little better. You can finally bring your cell phone and there is no need for body searches. Instead, you use machine security checks.

Wang Shuo in front was just perfunctorily answering other people's questions one by one, and suddenly his eyes turned towards Lin Xiao and Li Shuang.

Dig the hole!

This woman is awesome.

She is much prettier than Ning Jing, and has a much better figure than Xu Qing.

What a beauty! Who is this young man next to her? He looks a little familiar. Although he is handsome, what is the use of a man's appearance? He is not worthy of this beauty next to him.

And when he saw Lin Xiao looking at him, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, you look familiar, which media are you from?"

"Miss, it would be a shame if you didn't act in a movie with your style."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Facebook, Lin Xiao!"

Wang Shuo was stunned. Lin Xiao? Isn't this the fucking leader Ergou?

Fuck! We actually met at this time?

Enemies meet on a narrow road?

Meeting on a narrow road? Lin Xiao looked at the man in front of him with a half-smile. Since last year, this man must have scolded him no less than ten times.

This is how he scolded Guo Xiaosi in his previous life.

But, I’m not Guo Xiaosi.

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Teacher Wang has scolded me so many times, don't you remember my face?"

At this time, two more acquaintances came from behind.

It turned out to be Liao Feng and Miyazaki. The two had already discovered Lin Xiao a long time ago, and now they saw Lin Xiao looking at them.

Liao Feng immediately sneered and said, "Boss Lin, this is such a big deal!"
