"Bang"
"That good-for-nothing He Youfu!!!"
Li Yishan finally lost control and started throwing things. He wanted to be patient and not get angry, since anger was bad for his liver, which was already weak. But who could tell him that all the hard work and money he had spent was to prevent Lin Xiaoxiao from entering the e-commerce industry?
Good heavens! I finally managed to save some money, but He Youfu messed things up so badly. That useless rival actually let a wolf into the house!
Calling He Youfu a piece of trash is an insult to the word. He's even worse than Li Chuan.
The more Li Yishan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't suppress his anger at all.
Meanwhile, He Youfu, who was being scolded by Li Yishan, also realized that something was wrong. User activity had clearly declined, and many high-quality manufacturers and merchants had left.
He Youfu was heartbroken. He made several phone calls, trying to persuade and offer concessions. In the end, after much pleading and persuasion, he managed to convince them to stop, offering more traffic and exposure, as well as reducing his commission.
He was heartbroken. How could he not know that Lin Xiaoxiao was running her own shopping platform? Of course he did! But he never expected that she wasn't after the filming at all, but was after his existing fanbase!
He Youfu even suspected that filming at the Miaomiao shopping platform was just a pretext, and that Lin Xiaoxiao must have planned it all along!
At this moment, He Youfu finally remembered President He from the gaming industry. He had been laughing at the time, but none of these big shots took such a small-scale operation as sending eggs and rice seriously. They subconsciously felt that there must be another reason, and some even thought that the Lin Group behind Liangtian Mobile Company had intervened to achieve this result.
He really underestimated the boss of Feiyang Entertainment, this rising star in business, Lin Xiaoxiao. Why isn't this guy doing his job as a director? Why is he venturing into other fields?! Wouldn't it be better to stay in the entertainment industry?
If I had known, I wouldn't have suggested to Lin Xiaoxiao that we make a business drama. I was thinking of promoting my own company, but it turns out they were targeting us. As for misunderstandings, how could there possibly be even the slightest misunderstanding?!
However, He Youfu hates Li Yishan even more than Lin Xiaoxiao!
If he still hasn't realized that Li Yishan deliberately let him contact Lin Xiaoxiao, then it must be because of this! Li Yishan definitely wants to lure Lin Xiaoxiao in to deal with He Youfu.
What a despicable old fox!
He Youfu thought about it more and more and it seemed very likely. After all, Lin Xiaoxiao and the Orange platform had cooperated so many times. Maybe this was a scheme against him, to squeeze him out, so that the two of them could stabilize their positions in the shopping platform market. How despicable!
When Li Yishan received He Youfu's call, his barely calmed-down emotions exploded again. Just listen to what that good-for-nothing was saying on the other end of the line: conspiracy, setting a trap, accusing Li Yishan of letting the wolf into the house—what a shameless act of blaming others!
Li Yishan gritted his teeth, his cheeks aching, "You good-for-nothing, who exactly brought Lin Xiaoxiao in here? Don't you have the nerve to say it again?"
He Youfu pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something was wrong, but he certainly didn't think it was his fault. "If you hadn't leaked the information to me first, things wouldn't have turned out like this!!"
Li Yishan touched his brow. His old rival was indeed a master of shifting blame, blaming everything and everyone but himself. "If you hadn't deliberately tried to find out, how could you have fallen for it!"
If He Youfu really gets the benefit, he'll definitely show a completely different face. He'll think he's a genius at recognizing talent and that everyone has to rely on their own abilities. Ha, he's caused a huge disaster, and now he knows to come to him for help.
"Stop with this nonsense, tell me what to do. We can't just stand by and watch her steal it!"
He Youfu wouldn't continue discussing with Li Yishan who was at fault, since he wasn't exactly clean to begin with. What he didn't dare tell anyone else was that Lin Xiaoxiao had originally only planned to film a period drama, but he thought it would be a good opportunity for publicity and suggested filming an entrepreneurial drama, specifically about the Miaomiao shopping platform.
Li Yishan felt like he was about to choke on his own blood. He hadn't even finished dealing with this, and someone had already lured the enemy into his own backyard, and now they had the nerve to come and ask him what to do!
"Li Yishan, don't say I didn't tell you, no matter how much we fight in this industry, it's all internal struggle. We can't let outsiders in."
Li Yishan really wanted to say, "How dare you say that?! All he did was pay less money once, trying to make He Youfu bleed a little, and this is the biggest mess he's made! And Feiyang Entertainment is already involved, and you're only now coming to tell me?! Why did you wait until the enemy was standing at my bedside with a knife before you called?!"
Li Yishan had a lot on his mind, but dealing with the immediate crisis was more important. He knew Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't possibly capture the entire market share; perhaps she could even squeeze He Youfu out. This immediately improved his mood.
"I don't have any ideas, Mr. He, do you have any suggestions?"
He Youfu rolled his eyes on the other end of the phone. Li Yishan said he had no way to solve it? What a load of rubbish! He didn't believe it. Others might not be able to solve it, but could that meticulous and thoughtful old fox, Li Yishan, really be helpless?!
"Mr. Li, no offense, but what time is it? Stop being modest and stop talking about 'yours' and 'mine.' Just tell me, how much money have you prepared?"
Li Yishan closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, suddenly feeling a little regretful. He should have invested the money in Lin Xiaoxiao from the beginning. Although the initial investment was large and the return period was long, at least he would have left something that could make money, instead of giving all the money to the public like this.
If he really wanted to give things away for free, he might as well do charity; at least he could get a tax break. This kind of business practice of losing money to gain publicity is truly giving things away for nothing. If he can stabilize his position in the industry later and raise prices to make up for it, that would be fine. But Li Yishan always felt that Lin Xiaoxiao had already opened the floodgates, so there was a high probability that he wouldn't be able to get rid of her.
However, if He Youfu's Miaomiao Shopping Platform provides subsidies while their Orange Shopping Platform does not, then they will be at a disadvantage against Lin Xiaoxiao and He Youfu. In any case, the money has to be spent.
This is truly a case of shooting oneself in the foot. If only he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it in the first place. In the end, he overestimated that bastard He Youfu! How could he have just watched Lin Xiaoxiao run a shopping platform and claim it was just for filming? How come he never realized He Youfu was so stupid before?
He Youfu was somewhat dissatisfied. The amount of money Li Yishan had provided was far too little. He couldn't expect his entire family to contribute. He had been hoping to work with Li Yishan to get rid of Lin Xiaoxiao, but this was all the money he had. How long could it subsidize them? And they were even trying to get rid of Lin Xiaoxiao? It was ridiculous.
