Guo Wendong said: "The budget is only 30,000 yuan. Wouldn't it be too many people if you want to sign them?"

Chen Fan smiled and explained, "You misunderstood. We don't mean to sign all those big stars mentioned above. That's not realistic."

"I'm just asking you to try asking for me. If you agree, sign one or two."

"It's just a portrait license, just using the photo. They don't even have to show up. The price is not as expensive as you think."

"Well, I'll give you a range. If you can't sign the first few big stars, then you have to do your best to fight for the last three big stars. If it really doesn't work..."

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, then added: "If it's really not possible, at least we have to make sure we sign F4."

April is coming soon, when "Meteor Garden" will be released and F4 will lead a real star-chasing storm.

Chen Fan's psychological expectation was that no matter who else, as long as he could sign F4, he would be successful.

"Understood."

Guo Wendong finally asked: "Finally, let's talk about the issue of compensation."

"How much are you prepared to pay me to help you do this?"

Chen Fan asked directly: "How much money do you want?"

"Twelve thousand."

Chen Fan frowned: "It's too expensive."

"Is this all you want?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "If it's 12,000, I might as well take a plane there myself."

"Actually, it's not a big deal for you to do anything. You just need to contact the artist's agency."

Upon hearing this, Guo Wendong disagreed.

"It's easy for you to say that. Not only do I have to help you contact consulting agencies one by one, but I also have to talk to their agents. If you don't have the ability to negotiate, do you think their agents will talk to you?"

Chen Fan didn't waste time talking to this guy and spoke directly.

"Five thousand dollars."

"It's too low." Guo Wendong immediately became unhappy.

"Just five thousand." Chen Fan insisted, "If you don't do it, I can only contact the middle-level people in Baodao and ask them to run errands for you."

Upon hearing this, Guo Wendong became anxious.

"No. If you know someone, just contact them. What if you get scammed?"

"At least we know each other well."

Chen Fan was amused. "Don't you think the money is too little?"

Guo Wendong was a little unwilling, "Your budget is definitely 30,000, right?"

"right."

"Then I'll personally go and negotiate with each of them for you. Once you've secured three endorsements, I'll bargain down the price to whatever level you want. All the money you save will be yours."

"no problem."

This Chen Fan is not right.

It really depends on personal ability. If this guy is really capable of getting three celebrity endorsements without spending a penny, then Chen Fan would not mind giving him the 30,000 yuan.

Guo Wendong was very excited to see that Chen Fan actually agreed.

"Okay. I'll start focusing on this tomorrow. Just wait for the news."

After the two finished chatting, Chen Fan stood up and walked to the door, quietly opened the study door and took a look inside.

Wen Wan has finished her meal and is now in the kitchen preparing to wash the dishes.

"Come here, come here."

Chen Fan hurried out.

"You go and have a rest, I'll wash it."

Wen Wan insisted, "No need. I can do it myself."

Seeing that Chen Fan was trying to snatch the dishes from her hands, Wen Wan couldn't help but say.

"Really, that's not necessary. I'm already bothering you enough."

"Let 놖 do it herself."

Seeing the stubborn look on the woman's face, Chen Fan could only take a step back awkwardly.

"Then... remember to call me if you have any problem."

Chen Fan turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wen Wan again.

"What's up?"

Chen Fan also thought that the other party had something to bother him.

Wenwan hesitated for a moment and then spoke softly.

"I've been very sorry for bothering you these past two days. Thank you very much."

"My feet don't hurt that much anymore. You can just go to the bus tomorrow. You don't have to send me off."

Chen Fan looked at the other person deeply and nodded.

"Okay. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me."

Chen Fan understood what Wen Wan said.

Whether it was because she didn't want to owe too many favors to others, or because she felt Chen Fan was too enthusiastic, she deliberately kept a distance from him.

In short, Chen Fan understood.

I guess I was too enthusiastic and the other party was a little uncomfortable with it.

Back in the study, Chen Fan stared at the Internet plan document on the computer.

Memories started to come to mind.

Starting from September 2000, the U.S. stock market fell sharply, and the first wave of the Internet turned into a bubble upon hitting the shore.

In March 2001, Sohu's stock price fell below $1, and CEO Zhang Chaoyang had to buy stocks out of his own pocket to save the market.

In June, Xinlang’s stock price fell below $1 and founder Wang Zhidong was fired.

In September of the second half of the year, NetEase's stock price dropped directly from US$15 to US$64. Founder Ding Lei almost sold NetEase, but he didn't because no one wanted to buy it.

In less than a year, the three major portals of Rutian have successively ushered in their own winter.

Of course, it was also the same year that Shanda's online game "Legend" began its official public beta, which completely kicked off the online game era.

By then, all kinds of weird news about online games in the country will gradually enter the public eye.

Even so, it did not prevent Shanda CEO Chen Tianqiao from becoming the richest man in China.

Chen Fan was a little excited and couldn't help picking up the cigarette on the table and lighting it.

Letting the smoke enter his nasal cavity, Chen Fan needed to stay excited.

This is a good era, but also a turbulent era.

This year, Alibaba has not started to make efforts, Taobao.com has not been launched, Tencent has not found a profit point, 3G has not been commercialized, not to mention the emergence of 5G, Douyin, Kuaishou and other short video giants...

Chen Fan's mind remained excited and he was thinking.

I am now standing on the same starting line with these Internet giants.

The next step is, where should I make my first move?

Portal or video website? Blog or group buying website?

No matter which track we choose, Chen Fan is confident that we will succeed if we start developing it now.

But Chen Fan, who had been reborn once, knew very well that although there were successful precedents in these fields, they could not produce true giants.

If Chen Fan wants to compete with these big guys in the future, he must start from the first step and find his own position.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Fan didn't write a single word.

It seems like he is in a state of distraction.

Until the incense in your hand burns out.

Chen Fan finally came to his senses and put out the cigarette in the ashtray.

Then he put his hands on the keyboard and typed a line of words.

“Internet Ecosystem – Big Data – Metaverse.”

He has determined his direction.

No matter which direction you enter this blue ocean from, you must make your moves around the overall goal of the future.

Just like playing a jigsaw puzzle, the most difficult thing for Chen Fan now is to find the first piece of the puzzle, and then piece together the remaining pieces bit by bit, and finally form a complete picture.

That is the true metaverse Internet ecosystem.

And soon, Chen Fan had his own answer.
