Chapter 296 Wu Lingxi's dedication! Seize the day!
This was probably the most ferocious time for Lin Xiao, or the time he was the most ferocious.
It really was like a battle between two lions, fighting with all their might.
Both of them were full of aggressiveness, using every part of their bodies as weapons, as if they wanted to kill each other, or as if they wanted to crush each other and eat them alive.
For the first time, he knew what it felt like to be in a crazy overdraft, as if his soul was about to become empty.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Lin Xiao really lay on the carpet like a dead dog, motionless.
There were countless scars all over his body, some from scratches, some from teeth.
Both of them felt pain all over their bodies.
It was as if it had been suppressed for several years and finally exploded.
There is a feeling that there is today but no tomorrow.
Wu Lingxi tried hard to raise her hand, and after several attempts she finally picked up the bottle of water next to her. She rinsed her mouth with a gulp, and then swallowed it down.
Then, drink the entire bottle of water in one gulp.
Then he tried hard to get up and go to the bathroom, but after a few attempts, he was still lying there motionless.
After a long while, he gathered his strength, pulled out a few pieces of paper, and wiped it roughly.
"Scumbag..."
"hypocritical……"
"You bastard..."
She couldn't help but curse a few times.
Lin Xiao once again understood what she meant.
Wu Lingxi cursed from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Xiao, you bastard, weren't you playing affectionate games with Xiao Momo and Lian Yi? And now you come to sleep with me? You are such a scumbag.
But what? You had the chance to sleep with me at least three or four years ago, but you refused. And when I took the initiative to sleep with you, you didn't refuse, but became even wilder than me.
What a hypocrite! What a hypocritical dog man.
No man is good, and you are no exception.
Or rather, you are especially a dog.
Then, he looked at Lin Xiao, who was lying on the carpet like a dead dog, even curled up.
Wu Lingxi sneered and couldn't help but kick him and stomped on him hard.
“It hurts, it hurts…”
"Can't you step somewhere else? It's broken..."
Wu Lingxi sneered: "You have a terrible figure..."
In fact, Lin Xiao has a very good figure, with a slender body, slightly thin and thin muscles.
This is probably what Wu Lingxi likes the most, and she even feels full of strong desire for it.
"Not strong at all..."
"It's just that the dog waist is okay..."
"But you looked so ugly in the mirror just now. You really looked like a dog."
Lin Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Wu Lingxi's body.
Her appearance is the ceiling, and probably her figure too.
Practicing yoga or even fitness can give you a little bit of a sense of strength, but more of a soft and charming body shape.
But she is tall and white.
It’s really as white as snow.
Many years ago, she had a tan, a bit like the skin color of girls in the United States, but now she is pure cold white.
Women dress up to please themselves.
"It's so white just to cater to your perverted aesthetic."
Lin Xiao suddenly felt a bloody taste in his mouth. He reached out and touched his teeth, and sure enough, there was a trace of blood.
Oh shit!
His lips were broken and bitten by this woman's teeth.
After gathering her strength for a while, Wu Lingxi stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
I took a comfortable hot bath and soaked in it for a while.
Then, she came directly in front of Lin Xiao, squatted down with her beautiful body, and said jokingly: "Dead dog, are you going to sleep on the floor tonight? Do you want me to give you a blanket?"
Lin Xiao waved his hand.
Wu Lingxi put on her silk nightgown in front of the mirror and kicked Lin Xiao: "I'm going back to my room."
"Our fate is over for now."
"Don't bother me, and don't even think about doing it again."
"I have used up everything I have for you, including my emotions."
Then, Wu Lingxi left gracefully and returned to her room.
It took a lot of willpower for her to leave.
After the madness, how tempting is it to fall asleep in each other's arms gently?
but……
In order to prevent one's will from being corrupted, or to keep the relationship aggressive, full of intense freshness and attraction.
She was crazy when she attacked.
He was also very decisive when withdrawing.
……………………
In early August, Lin Xiao left the United States and returned to China to attend the world-renowned opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
This opening ceremony, just like in history, completely amazed the world.
During the entire broadcast, Lin Xiao and Xia Xi flashed by and only appeared for about one second.
Then, this picture was captured and appeared on many websites.
Of course, it’s not a scandal or any other news.
This picture is accompanied by a title.
"Will he never appear again?"
Just this title alone, for some reason, caused sadness in countless people.
Yes, the spiritual symbol of Master Ergou will still be there, and may become louder and louder.
But is this person, this face, really going to disappear completely?
Will not appear in public.
Will they not directly express their opinions and emotions to countless people?
It started from the Itchy Web and lasted until the summer of 2005.
Leader Ergou has always been there, always creating miracles.
Suddenly one day, because of an emotional accident, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
But almost everyone felt that this was a temporary departure and he would definitely come back.
But I didn't expect that he really didn't come back.
Besides, he probably won't come back.
………………………………
"Am I going to be overtaken by that woman?" Xia Xi was filled with indignation.
Because now the world is abuzz with rumors that Facebook is going to be listed on Nasdaq overseas, and it was the president of Nasdaq who personally requested it to be listed.
Global media are speculating on how much Facebook's market value will be when it goes public overseas.
The current general estimate is around US$30 billion.
This is far beyond the Lightning Group.
However, Lightning Group has been around for six years, and it has been making great progress. Facebook Overseas has only been around for four years, and Wu Lingxi has been in charge for only three of them.
As a result, the market value exceeded that of the entire Lightning Group. Is the world outside really that good and awesome?
You should know that Lightning Group owns the best assets such as Lightning Entertainment, Frostfall Productions, Lightning Games, Facebook, etc.
If there were no WeChat, Lightning Group would probably never become a first-tier giant and would always lag behind Alibaba, Tencent, and even JD.com.
Lin Xiao: “Almost there, almost there…”
"As long as WeChat succeeds, you can be on par with that damn woman Wu Lingxi."
"In the future, you will also lead the most powerful giant."
Xia Xi turned around and asked: "Are you asleep?"
Damn, do you have to be so sensitive?
However, Xia Xi quickly changed the subject and didn't want to talk more about this matter.
"By the way, Perfect World has been revived." Xia Xi said, "Boss Chi bought it back and rebuilt it."
Lin Xiao: "How are your grades?"
Xia Xi: "Not bad, the highest number of people online has exceeded 500,000."
Lin Xiao: "Where's Zhu Xian?"
Xia Xi: "The highest number of people online is 1.5 million."
Lin Xiao: "Where's the Dungeon Fighter?"
Xia Xi: "3.5 million!"
Fuck!
This result is simply amazing.
Of course, it is still a little bit away from its highest level in history, which was over 5 million simultaneous online users.
But...it is still growing, and at this rate, 5 million is just a matter of time.
But even if it is 3.5 million, it is still the best-performing game in the country, bar none, and it is far ahead.
Xia Xi: "By the way, Dungeon Fighter is very popular in South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia."
"Zhu Xian's performance in these countries is also very good."
This is really a pleasant surprise.
Xia Xi: "Because Facebook East Asia is so powerful and completely overwhelming on the entire social platform, it is very easy to promote these two games."
This is completely different from history.
Therefore, things really cannot be rushed. Three years ago, Lin Xiao was eager to release "Zhu Xian" overseas, and he had tried, but the results were mediocre.
I didn't expect that it would become a natural thing now.
Xia Xi: "We have to thank World of Warcraft for this. It first educated gamers throughout East Asia, letting them know about this type of game and become somewhat addicted. Then they tried our Zhu Xian and found it more intimate and with better graphics."
The genes of Lightning Games are still radical.
In the past few years, it has remained full of enterprising spirit and has been upgraded to two versions.
The graphics are much better than they were four years ago, and we are eyeing World of Warcraft. No matter what, the graphics must be better than yours, even if it will lose a lot of players.
Moreover, in terms of CG, it has already caught up with the level of "World of Warcraft".
Because Oriental Fantasy is its own company, it has already reached first-class level in animated films.
"When will the League of Legends be publicly tested?" Lin Xiao asked.
Xia Xi: "Probably in October, but we plan to launch a global public beta, and this time we will focus on the European and American markets."
Lin Xiao: “Okay.”
Seeing that Ergou Studio and CDPR are dominating the global market, Lightning Games is not content to just dominate the domestic game market, and also wants to directly impact the global market.
"In addition, the mobile version of League of Legends has also begun production, but in order to avoid a civil war between the computer and mobile versions, it will probably be delayed for one or two years before being released on the mobile platform." Xia Xi: "By the way, there is another thing recently. TOM Group wants to sell Itch.com and is looking for buyers everywhere."
Since Lucas left, Yangwang and Yangyang Live began to go downhill. The new helmsman started to drain the pond to catch fish, which accelerated its demise.
Moreover, since the year before last, the mobile SP business has begun to decline rapidly, and today it is almost dead.
It's not just Yangwang and Yangyang Live, but the entire Tom Group is going from bad to worse. Although this year's revenue seems okay, the net loss is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars.
In the past three years, whether it is Sina, Tencent, or NetEase, they have actively completed their transformation and found new cash flow, but TOM has not found a new industry direction.
If TOM has enough patience to nurture the Itchy Live Studio for four or five years, it will be rejuvenated with new vitality and once again become a medium-sized unicorn company.
But what it lacks most is probably patience.
"Let's buy it back." Xia Xi said.
"Okay, you have the final say." Lin Xiao.
"Get lost, stop it." Xia Xi: "Wu Lingxi said something very right. The more you can control our emotions and inner thoughts, the more you pretend to be weak. Who are you trying to please?"
Xia Xi couldn't help rubbing Lin Xiao's face, making it into all kinds of weird shapes.
During these three years, Xia Xi experienced both pain and happiness.
But, more of it is satisfaction and happiness.
Because when Lin Xiao said he would quit, he really meant it, completely. He gave all the power to her, and she had the final say over the entire Lightning Group.
We got a lot of criticism, and everyone was saying that Lightning Group had become a mediocre company again.
But the Lightning Group is already brewing new forces. It will continue to take the initiative and even transform itself into a true giant in the era of mobile Internet, and will continue to go overseas with a strong attitude.
There is always an absolute goal in Xia Xi's mind, that is, the market value of Lightning Group in the future must not be lower than Wu Lingxi's Facebook.
"I plan to spend 10 million US dollars to buy back the Yanyan live broadcast room." Xia Xi: "Do you think Li Zekai will agree?"
Lin Xiao: “Probably.”
Six years ago, TOM bought Yangwang and Yangyang Live Studio for 10 million US dollars, and now he bought them back for another 10 million US dollars.
This is really...
But now Yangyang’s live broadcast room on TOM is completely losing money and its popularity has plummeted.
It can be said that if the Lightning Group does not buy it back, it may be closed directly.
Moreover, Lightning Group bought it back purely out of sentimentality.
Its next development direction is Douyu, and YY Voice can complete this task.
Moreover, if we want to develop it into a powerful game live streaming platform, we have to nurture it for at least more than 5 years. We cannot expect any profit from it. We can only nurture it and wait for the next opportunity to come, so that the Yangyang Live Streaming Room can take off again and regain vitality.
"Some time ago, our father, mother, and grandparents came to Shanghai." Xia Xi said, "Grandpa and grandma came here specifically for tourism. The old couple has never been to the Magic City."
"Li Shuang and I played with them for about a week. It was so much fun."
“I had never been to many restaurants before, but I tried them all this time.”
"It was my first time to go up to the Oriental Pearl Tower with them. I still remember that grandpa was so happy that day. He kept smiling and didn't have many teeth left."
I don’t know when it started, but Xia Xi stopped calling Lin Xiao’s parents “uncle” and “aunt” and started calling them “mom and dad” directly.
Half-siblings are truly siblings.
Lin Xiao: "Your father in the physical sense was about to be in trouble, but he was saved by Wu Lingxi."
Xia Xi: "I know, he is so crazy that he actually represents the capital over there to talk about things that shouldn't be discussed here."
It’s not that Wu Lingxi deliberately wanted to save them. Until now, she has always prevented her family’s capital from entering the Facebook system, and there is no room for negotiation.
But...it is inevitable to take advantage of the situation.
Because suddenly, the force represented by Wu Lingxi has become the strongest in her family.
Then, the two of them stopped talking. Xia Xi leaned lightly on Lin Xiao's shoulder, looked at the scenery outside the window, and even rubbed her cheek against him a few times.
In fact, Lin Xiao and Xia Xi haven’t seen each other very often in recent years.
But, it seemed as if there was no need to meet, the feelings between both parties were automatically becoming stronger and stronger.
……………………………………
Lin Xiao unexpectedly met an unexpected person, Chen Yizhou from Renren.
I never thought that Renren could survive and do well by relying on its niche and high-end nature.
"Boss Lin, I'm here to pay my respects."
Lin Xiao: "You want to go on the mobile platform?"
Chen Yizhou: "No one is smarter than General Lin."
"A few years ago, we were fighting each other to the death, but I didn't expect that now, we are completely in different worlds."
You haven't been quiet in the past few years, and you have been completely smearing and attacking one of the bases of the Ergou Sect Leader.
Currently, a large number of elites are still active on Renren.
It’s just…it seemed that suddenly one day, the leader of Hei Ergou was no longer the politically correct one among the elites.
It's very strange! Linda at McKinsey seems to be the epitome of countless senior elites.
At present, there are still many elites and many public intellectuals who are still madly attacking Leader Ergou, but... basically they are all men.
On the contrary, many female elites suddenly stopped their activities and then... inexplicably became fans of Ergou.
This transformation is bizarre.
You have to know that when Ergou was at his most popular, most of his fans were male.
Moreover, his reputation was ruined because of his two-timing behavior, but now he has more and more female fans.
However, Renren's focus began to shift about two or three years ago, becoming not only more niche but also more feminine.
Because women prefer to share their exquisite life.
One of the main reasons why Chen Yizhou took the initiative to find Lin Xiao was that a large number of senior elites on Renren.com had bought quantum mobile phones, and the most expensive ones.
Especially after Hollywood stars publicly displayed quantum phones in large numbers, the domestic entertainment industry also followed suit, followed by higher-income female white-collar elites.
After all, in this era, everyone’s brand value is just starting out.
The workmanship, appearance and design of mobile phones can still break through quickly.
And the key is that quantum phones are expensive enough and look good enough.
Chen Yizhou saw clearly in the background that a very high proportion of the most active female users of Renren.com owned quantum phones. This made him realize that he had to quickly develop a mobile platform.
Once it’s too late, even this niche track may not be able to be maintained.
Lin Xiao: "Mr. Chen, you have to know that our X operating system is exclusive. Once you use our platform, you can't use the Android platform."
It can be used on IOS, but not on Android.
Chen Yizhou: “I know.”
Lin Xiao: "And we have to sign an agreement."
Chen Yizhou: “I know.”
Lin Xiao: "Okay, then you are welcome to the X platform."
If you want to defeat Android, it will definitely be a protracted war.
In fact, creating an operating system is not difficult from a technical point of view, but the ecosystem is difficult.
Coincidentally, everyone's ecosystem is starting from scratch. And because Lin Xiao is well prepared, and Facebook and YouTube are strong enough, his ecosystem is actually the strongest one.
But... now is far from the time for victory.
Because, whether in terms of the aesthetics or logic of UI design, Android will catch up very quickly, and only the ecosystem will determine the outcome.
Only a sufficiently strong and rich ecosystem can be a system's moat.
So even though Renren was considered an enemy, Lin Xiao very much welcomed it to be included in the X mobile phone operating system.
He has about a full year and a half of free time to continue building his moat and consolidating his leading advantage.
Because it will take about two years for the next generation of Android flagship to reach a very advanced level. This is a typical objective law.
Because advanced CMOS did not appear out of thin air, advanced SOC did not appear out of thin air, and advanced screens did not appear out of thin air either.
And during this year and a half, there were two killer features.
One is Facebook and the other is WeChat.
These two things are so sticky that they are almost irreplaceable. Without these two applications, the entire mobile phone ecosystem is absolutely incomplete.
Facebook is already strong enough, but the usage habit of transferring from computers to mobile phones still needs to be cultivated, and user stickiness also needs to be cultivated.
WeChat is even more important, not only to the Lightning Group, but even more so to the X operating system.
So next, we will have to be very aggressive and powerful when launching WeChat around the world.
……………………………………
In mid-August, another piece of good news came: Lian Zheng had improved and became the second in Ning City.
This is really great news.
Because this is a vice-provincial level.
It took him five full years to finally take this step.
The future that was once delayed because of Lin Xiao was finally completely made up.
"Lin Xiao, come to my house for dinner tonight."
Lin Xiao: "Aunt Shu Wan?"
Lian Zheng: "She was the one who told me to shout."
This wasn't because Shu Wan was snobbish or anything. In fact, at this level, there was no such thing as snobbish or not. Even if Lin Xiao achieved a high level, Shu Wan would not look up to him, let alone curry favor with him.
But at this age, she has truly felt the relationship between Lin Xiao and Lian Zheng, which is half friend and half father and son.
In the past few years, Lian Zheng tried his best to help Lin Xiao's career.
In the following years, Lin Xiao tried his best to help Lian Zheng's career, or to help each other.
My husband, the person I love the most, has finally realized his ambition and shown his true colors.
Moreover, this business has just started and will have an even brighter future.
This is not power, but a real big cause.
So tonight, she specially prepared a table of food. After eating for about ten minutes, she went back to her room to watch TV, leaving Lin Xiao and Lian Zheng to chat.
"Inventec and Foxconn are not reliable. The real high-end production line still needs to be in our own hands, and we still have to build our own production line."
"You don't need to worry about these matters. Just focus on the war with Google, the ecosystem of the X operating system, and getting other mobile phone manufacturers to join the X platform."
"This production line will be managed by me, Liu Zuohu, Bai Yongxiang and others from Quantum Technology."
“It will take no more than one or two years to ensure that a strong factory cluster will be built directly from the ground.”
This is a huge investment, and it may not be something that can be accomplished with just a few billion.
"Also, I heard that you want to acquire Sharp, right?" Lian Zheng asked.
This is the most core secret, and only very few people know about quantum technology.
Because Samsung will most likely still turn to Android, at least in the past few years, and Sharp may not be willing to go all out and turn to AMOLED, so it would be best if Quantum Technology could acquire or control Sharp.
This way, we can have a very high starting point in the screen industry, save several years of road, and even block Samsung screens in advance.
Moreover, this is also a long business process. Even if you only acquire Sharp's screen production department, it will require an astronomical amount of money and lengthy negotiations.
"Don't worry about the money, even if it's US dollars, you don't have to worry." Lian Zheng said firmly: "As long as the other side can negotiate, even if it's billions of dollars, we can help you get it here, you don't need to borrow money from those foreign banks anymore."
This father-in-law is really generous.
He wants to directly build an industrial cluster and help build advanced factories.
He was even responsible for securing the funds for the acquisition of Sharp.
You should know that Sharp’s current market value exceeds that of Quantum Technology.
Lian Zheng picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"Seven years ago, you talked about ByteDance, you talked about the stars and the sea. Now we finally see a little light and a little prototype!"
"In a few days, there will be a very high-level meeting."
"The country will comprehensively promote the development of this industry, and will allow several major telecommunications operators and mobile phone manufacturers to transform and upgrade, and will make them support your X operating platform."
"Ten thousand years is too long. We must seize the day!"
……………………
Note: I finally finished it a little earlier today, I will continue tomorrow! If you have any monthly tickets, please remember to give them to me, okay? Thank you!
