Chapter 524 Human Race Master!
Yang Chenghao had heard of Li Youzhi, but he didn't know much about Li Youzhi.
As the president of the group, Yang Chenghao is usually responsible for the strategic level business of the entire group and rarely understands the specific operations of the platform.
For an executive in his position, Internet celebrities or celebrities are just an influencing factor on the report.
The reason why I heard the name Li Youzhi was when the overseas version of Heguang Audiovisual was launched.
There are only a few good video platforms in the country. An established streaming video platform like Aiyi has been disgraced by new competitors. This is news for someone in Yang Chenghao's position.
But that's about it.
In the past year, including when Heguang Audio-Visual became famous in the country, Yang Chenghao actually didn't spend much time in the country.
After the explosive growth of the domestic business volume of the DouShou platform and the short video craze, the DouShou Group has formulated a globalization strategy and actively expanded its business overseas. The overseas version of shaking hands, also known as "TKTK", has been promoted in North America, Japan, South Korea, Europe and other countries and regions.
In the two years since internationalization began, Douishou Group has indeed reaped the dividends of internationalization. Relying on its unique content production mechanism, it has gained a large number of user groups in foreign markets and has also successfully hatched a large number of Internet celebrities in various regions.
In North America alone, TKTK has gained a user base of nearly one-third of the local population. The market value of the company's overseas listings has continued to rise, and it has become a bright red star in the social media industry.
Then...TKTK's good luck seems to have come to an end,
What is the core competitiveness of TKTK, or the overseas version of Doushou?
It is to allow users in each region to generate their own content to obtain user traffic in that region. In essence, this is a process for a platform to mass-produce self-media.
With the business developing smoothly, TKTK has created a large number of Internet experts and celebrities.
These internet celebrities often have tens or even millions of fans. Given China’s total population of more than one billion, this fan base may be nothing. But in sparsely populated foreign countries, personal influence factors of this size are not possible.
The common man was not guilty of the crime. Such a huge power of public opinion, which was not controlled by the government, immediately aroused the vigilance of the local government and the fear of media organizations in the region where TKTK was located.
It is against this background that TKTK has been subject to inexplicable scrutiny and targeting one after another.
Especially in North America, TKTK has successively handed over data storage and review operations, two core authorities that are very important to the platform, after encountering more than a dozen unfounded accusations about data security initiated by local governments.
At first, Yang Chenghao and Doushou's overseas business team thought this was the end, but it turned out that they seriously underestimated the ruthlessness of North America.
Giving up the two core permissions of the platform is just the beginning!
In the following months, the local government held several inexplicable hearings to continue to put pressure on TKTK. At first, on the grounds of user safety, we asked TKTK for a user big data computing model, a technology that involves the company's core competitiveness. After TKTK decisively refused, they simply stopped pretending and directly publicly revised and passed the bill, ordering TKTK to sell all its shares.
What kind of behavior is this?
If you have to give an example, it is equivalent to renting a piece of wasteland, reclaiming it, and planting a large number of fruit trees on it. But suddenly the owner of the land jumped out and said that you can't plant this fruit tree because it will damage the soil. You must give me half of the fruit.
As a result, after you divided the fruit in half, instead of agreeing to let you continue planting trees, the big landowner tore up the contract and wanted to take your orchard as his own - and even refused to give you the hoe you bought when you were planting the land. The kind you take out!
In order to keep the orchard... well, keep TKTK's North American business, Yang Chenghao has been traveling to various hearings and law firms in North America for more than half a year.
After many efforts, the current situation is not optimistic.
The result of the orchard being occupied did not change because of the huge legal team expenses paid by the group, but it only gave up a year in time.
Now TKTK in North America is an orchard that is about to change hands for the Douishou Group. The only thing that can be done is to sell this orchard as high as possible, so as not to lose all the money.
This is why Yang Chenghao came to Wang Xintian today.
The series of troubles caused by TKTK have already caused a serious blow to the company's stock price. Now the overseas part of Douishou Group has to engage in new business, and it has been trying to pull back the stock price, which has been suppressed by the pack of wolves in North America.
In this way, when the company is forced to acquire in the future, you can sell it for a little more money and recover some losses.
With such a mood, Yang Chenghao actually didn't have even the slightest interest in the Li Youzhi recommended to him by Wang Xintian.
Why?
TKTK is about to be taken away by others, what a waste of cooperation!
Is there any use for it?
However, just when Yang Chenghao suppressed his impatience and wanted to say a few words to stop him, something came from Wang Xintian's cell phone, which caused him to think deeply.
"... Among the laws summarized by farming, our ancestors also derived philosophical theories about fate and all things based on these laws. One of the theories that is very important to Chinese civilization is yin and yang and balance."
"What is the balance of yin and yang? It means that there is an inevitable connection and mutual influence between seemingly opposite things. Take the hexagram Qian in the Book of Changes as an example. The line of this hexagram is: On the ninth day of the lunar month, Qian Don't use dragons; 92, seeing a dragon in the sky is a good thing; 93, a gentleman works all day long and is vigilant at night, no fault; 94, he may leap into the abyss, no blame; 95, a flying dragon is in the sky, Good luck to you; if you go to the ninth level, you will regret it."
"What do you mean? It means that in the beginning, this person's destiny has just improved. At this time, he should be cautious and safe, and not be too obvious. Wait until his destiny really ushered in rapid development, and then work hard until he develops. To the highest level. But what is next? It is inevitable decline, because he has reached the highest peak he can reach, and what will greet him is decline. This is the same as when the sun reaches its highest point and the night progresses. The deepest truth is about to usher in the dawn.”
"So for thousands of years, we Chinese have adhered to this principle. The Confucian doctrine of moderation and the Taoist doctrine of inaction are all derived from this. What we pursue is to prevent ourselves from getting into a desperate situation, but we also don't let ourselves get too involved. Only in this way can we survive for a long time. And if these two extreme situations occur, we will not be too desperate or crazy, because we understand that when something develops to an extreme, it will inevitably usher in a change. It is said in the Book of Changes that prosperity will lead to decline, and failure to thrive is all based on this concept. "
"This concept evolved from the Book of Changes has penetrated into the collective concept of our nation. It has affected all aspects of our life, including our view of history. Many foreign friends may know that China suffered a humiliating history a hundred years ago. , the nation and the country suffered a devastating disaster, but we still believe that we can recover today, which is based on this concept.”
"Because we know that the worst is over, and things will inevitably develop for the better. Whether we are strong or declining, it is just another cycle in our nation's more than 5,000-year history, but now we are moving from decline to decline. On the road to prosperity..."
Sitting on the sofa, watching the relaxed but focused young man sitting on the floor chatting on Wang Xintian's mobile phone, Yang Chenghao suddenly felt in a trance.
This is not referring to the Book of Changes... Isn’t this talking about the entire development process of TKTK!
This is all right!
On the sidelines, watching Li Youzhi finish speaking in Chinese and translate it again in rigorous English, Wang Xintian pointed at the screen with a smile.
"This boy, although I don't know what kind of tricks he is doing, he still has some thoughts in his mind. Oh, by the way, Mr. Yang, what do you think of what I just told you? This boy The Heguang Audio-Visual APP we are developing now has great potential overseas through short plays and self-made film and television content. Otherwise... why don't you try to talk to him later? "
Facing Wang Xintian's probing inquiry, Yang Chenghao put away the trance in his eyes.
More than just a conversation...
I even want him to tell me and TKTK’s fortune now.
This kid has something!
"Wang Ju, where is this young man now? Is he in China?"
Thinking this, Yang Chenghao asked.
"He should be in Chengdu. The dean of his school said when he came to our film bureau two days ago that he is in Chengdu. He probably hasn't moved yet. I just don't know what kind of drama this kid is doing now. I'll give you his phone number. I'll say hello to him later, and you can contact him directly. Although the young man is a bit talented, his thinking is too out-of-the-box. God knows what he is doing every day and where he is. "
"Okay, I'll bother you, Director Wang. After I finish the things in the capital, I will definitely have a good chat with this young man."
After hearing Wang Xintian's arrangement, Yang Chenghao nodded heavily.
Somehow, he felt that this philosophical guy might be a variable for him!
…
At the same time, Yang Chenghao was shocked by the philosophical understanding flowing from Li Youzhi's sharp tongue.
London, UK, ELLES Technology Studio.
Watching Li Youzhi chatting in the live broadcast without showing any negative emotions that a prisoner should have, DVZ...Molly, the company's program engineer, frowned deeply and looked at her colleagues on the side.
"Melissa, damn, this is different from what you said! Didn't you tell me before that even those trained agents would lose their sense of time in a closed environment and stay there for a few hours? Then why is this guy so calm? This is unscientific!
Faced with her questioning, the colleague on the side did not answer.
At this time, the slightly fat girl's whole body had turned into the shape of a heart.
"Melissa, Melissa! Did you hear me!?"
(^_-): "Oh? My dear Molly, what did you just say?"
Seeing that the whole person was already tending to have a love brain orientation, Molly had to repeat the question just now.
"Oh my dear little Molly, didn't you hear the philosophical theory this man just said? There are no absolutes in this world, everything is in balance. Change is the norm - what a wise thought! What a stylish muscle, O'Molly, I think I have been captured by the Eastern philosophy. He makes a lot of sense, especially the two pieces on the chest. It makes a lot of sense... I want to go to China!"
"..."
Seeing Melissa's saliva drooling, DVZ took a deep breath.
What kind of nymphomaniac little bitch is this! ?
Come up with some bad ideas that are not reliable!
Taking a deep breath, she returned her gaze to the live broadcast screen.
Staring at the figure sitting on the floor and talking, she wrinkled her nose. He wanted to curse a few words, but his attention couldn't help but be guided by Melissa's words just now, focusing on that young, strong, and reasonable body.
The wild body, combined with the words full of wisdom, made Molly's heart tighten for no reason.
She rolled her eyes quickly, feeling that her mouth was uncontrollably dry.
Although... this guy's previous behavior was very annoying, but if you think about it carefully... the British Museum is not a good thing. The cultural relics in it are indeed looted from all over the world.
Ahem,
This man...does have some...reason.
Moreover... a public star can calmly implement even malicious suggestions. To a certain extent... he,
He seems quite a gentleman...?
Just when Molly DVZ suddenly broke into Xiaolu's heart, a huge earthquake occurred in the comment area of the Heguang Audiovisual Challenge live page!
Although the Yijing is the first of all the classics, there are actually very few people in China who have read the Yijing and studied the Yijing. Especially the younger generation is not very interested in such mysterious and mysterious things. They generally think that this is an ancient book of divination.
Also because of this attribute, domestic scholars rarely talk about this collection of ancient books in public.
Today, I heard Li Youzhi expounding the impact of the I Ching on civilization from a philosophical perspective. It can be said that it opened a new door for domestic netizens.
For overseas netizens, this experience of using philosophy to explain the appearance of a civilized group is even more novel!
"Thank you for your explanation. I think I finally understand the way Chinese people think about problems. This may help me deal with Chinese people in the future."
"What a wise philosophy! Now the greedy politicians in the West should really learn this philosophy, so that they will not look for oil around the world..."
"This is so interesting. I mean, I have always been curious about Chinese civilization, but the history of this nation is too long and too complicated. Every time I try to understand it, it will be daunting. For this civilization Neither history nor some people can understand it. After hearing what this guy said today, I know where the problem lies... Compared with Western civilization's speculative philosophy based on God's theology, the way of thinking of Chinese civilization is fundamentally different from ours. Differences in sex! I’m sure I’ve captured something key to understanding Chinese civilization!”
"Brother, if you were so mean, I would have arranged a dark room for myself. I don't expect to be able to understand such an awesome philosophical theory. Just let me pass the postgraduate entrance examination smoothly. I will stay in the dark room." Three months is fine!”
"Kneel down! Damn it! This is not self-imprisonment. He is enlightening in the Dragon Field!"
"I knew that as we become more and more prosperous, there will definitely be great scholars who stand up to defend this nation. But I never thought... this person is my little brother! Awesome~~!"
Beep!
Received cumulative amazing points, 6120203 points!
Challenge room.
Hearing the crisp sound of the system's stunning value credit notification beside his ear, Li Youzhi looked at the pitch-black soundproof board in front of him, pursed his dry lips, and stopped outputting his thoughts.
Silently, he opened his system panel.
[User: Li Youzhi]
[Appearance: 101 (upgrading...)]
[Temperament: 104 (upgrading...)]
[Voice: 92 (upgrade completed)]
[Amazing value: 55063312 points! 】
Seeing that through the past few days of doing things, Li Youzhi had accumulated a total balance of more than 50 million in surprise value, he touched his belly, which had begun to growl due to a disordered biological clock.
Should I say it or not... This little dark room is closed.
Except that the time is a bit chaotic and I don't know whether it's day or night... it's getting more and more interesting.
The income is so great!
Have you stayed here for a day now?
With a profit of 10 million, how many people are watching the live broadcast challenge page outside!
If you can maintain this level of income every day, let alone five days, I will give Brother Zhi a monthly subscription to pile up the dual attributes of appearance and temperament to one hundred and one, and then I will go out!
Where the hell is this prison room? This is a VIP hangout room, is there any place for it?
Poof,
Just when Li Youzhi was thinking this, there was a soft sound from the door of the computer room.
Getting up from the ground, Li Youzhi came to the small door through which he came in. In order to completely isolate the connection between the inside and outside of the house, this small door is also uniquely designed.
In the middle of the small door, there is a small opening thirty centimeters square. But this small opening is not directly connected to the outside of the door, but is connected to a channel for transporting food.
Gently opening the partition of the small opening, Li Youzhi grinned happily when he saw a portion of hot rice, pickles and a bottle of purified water inside.
It’s over, Brother Zhi doesn’t want to go out anymore… What should I do?
Outside the challenge room, there is a temporary rest area set up by the escape room shop on the fourth floor of Dawan Commercial Building.
He glanced at Liu Meng, who was holding a portion of braised chicken and rice behind him and staring at the back of his neck while showing off wildly. Subona felt a chill in his back for no reason and shrank his neck.
Looking at the extremely slow speed in the live broadcast monitoring screen, it seems that every grain of rice and every pickle is a delicacy, and Li Youzhi eats it very seriously and solemnly. And... the Heguang Audiovisual special live broadcast page with a total online viewership of more than 2 million, Subona was completely confused.
who I am?
Where am I?
What did I do?
This is different from the imagined script,
Obviously at this time, what I should see is the scene of that bastard rolling around on the ground, manic and crazy. But why... is he acting like a saint who has attained enlightenment in a dojo?
Spending over a million dollars on renovations seems to have done no harm to this little bastard, not even breaking his defense.
On the contrary, it diverted him!
If this trend continues, if he can really survive five days in there... Subona shuddered when he thought of the consequences of Li Youzhi's successful challenge.
After learning that Li Youzhi listened to the advice of British netizens and was going to take on this confinement challenge, why did he increase his sponsorship?
Just because they failed to settle the overseas copyright of "Daydreamers" before, they sent this damn guy to the UK to make a fuss, and poured a bucket of shit on the BBC, the most important media platform of Warner Bros.!
If I go back like this, I will definitely be waiting for the liquidation from the top management of the Warner department. That's why I thought of taking this opportunity to completely deal with this guy who is hated by all the senior executives of Brother Zheng's Warner department, and then go back to report on his duties.
In this way, I might have a little chance of turning around in the group in the future.
But now, judging from both facts and senses, this turning point has not come but seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer, FK!
"Ahem,"
Imagining his bright future, Subona slowly turned his head and looked at Liu Meng, who was as strong as a brown bear and showing off his rice, and showed a polite but not embarrassing smile.
"My young gentleman, may I ask you a few questions?"
Hearing Subona, a foreigner, ask in Chinese, Liu Meng didn't even stop holding the chopsticks in his hand.
"If you fart, just let it go. I won't pay attention to you anyway."
"..."
After being contradicted by Liu Meng, Subona suppressed his blush, gritted his teeth and tried to maintain the grace and smile on his face, and asked tentatively;
"You and Heguang Audiovisual are currently developing overseas markets, right? Who is in charge of this area now? What are his abilities and experience? For someone like me who has served as a senior executive of a multinational company, do you think it is possible? ...That's what I'm asking, is it possible to be qualified for this business, even if it's a deputy position..."
"Well?"
Faced with the extremely stiff smile on Subona's face, and looking at the nearly fifty-year-old guy's slightly dodged gaze that seemed to lack confidence, Liu Meng raised his eyebrows.
"The person who is now in charge of the company's overseas business is a junior classmate of our school. She is also the sister Mo Ni whom we had befriended before graduation, deputy manager Tu Su Su Tu."
"As for whether you are qualified for this business..."
After looking Subona up and down, Liu Meng snorted.
"I don't know what your level is in terms of ability, but judging from the fact that you haven't played around with Flagship Media, it shouldn't be very good. But as the leader of our company, we don't pay much attention to ability. After all, my brother Zhi is so powerful that he can take care of everything. It’s actually okay to take him with him and tie up the dog at the post, but there’s just one thing…”
Seeing a hint of hope and joy rising in Subona's eyes, Liu Meng poured a basin of cold water down.
"Before Su Su became the vice president, she worked as an assistant to Brother Zhi for more than a year. She was responsible for cleaning the room, cooking, making the bed, and carrying bags. As for whether she would accompany him on the bed or not, it cannot be completely ruled out. You... I guess even if you can spare it, Brother Zhi is unlikely to let you take advantage of this. You should just go back to where you came from. It's easy to get yourself into trouble by thinking too much about beautiful things. "
(灬)
Listening to Liu Meng's ruthless rejection, Subona cried.
This is the first time in my life that I feel the differences in the workplace.
At my age, it is too difficult to find another job!
…
Although he still couldn't regain control of time, after eating, Li Youzhi, who was full, still caught some rules by studying the system's amazing value recording tips.
What's the rule?
The rules of the total amount of amazing value contributed by netizens at home and abroad!
Generally speaking, the amount of surprise value paid by netizens is closely related to the peak period of the Internet.
Take China as an example. Under normal circumstances, the stunning value during the day is not as much as during the prime time at noon or evening. Overseas, they are actually pretty much the same.
By studying the rhythm of amazing value recording, Li Youzhi seems to have roughly figured out the time period he is in.
When the acquisition of stunning value increases significantly, it must be the traffic peak at noon or evening. Based on the reference provided by the amazing value of both domestic and foreign parties, and considering that he entered the challenge room in the morning, a rough concept of time was formed in his mind.
In fact, he didn't care too much about whether his guess was accurate, but in this environment, whether the time was accurate or not was not a problem.
As long as he can provide himself with a time reference, the biological clock can run normally, which has helped Li Youzhi solve a big problem!
In the next few days, Li Youzhi sorted out the rhythm of his life based on the time he had guessed.
During the day, he would use the philosophy of the Book of Changes to tell netizens at home and abroad about Chinese history and the characteristics of civilization. And at night, it’s time to sleep peacefully and replenish your energy.
In this rhythm of life, time passes like a stray dog.
In the blink of an eye, it was what Li Youzhi thought was his third day of imprisonment.
"What is said in the Book of Changes is that there will be no ups and downs, and there will be no return. In fact, it is very consistent with the mental state of the Chinese people. It means that the development of things will not be smooth sailing. There will always be ups and downs and challenges. The development of things will not be smooth. Cyclic. That is, what goes must come back, what begins must come to an end..."
In the dim room, Li Youzhi had just finished drinking the mineral water with the label removed that had been brought in last night, and was sitting in the middle of the room continuing to explain the philosophy of the I Ching.
Suddenly there was a strange noise at the door, making him shut his mouth.
With a crisp click, a dazzling white light appeared in front of him.
boom.
Squinting his eyes and covering the light source that was too bright for him with his hands, Li Youzhi raised his head.
"Brother Zhi! Mom, stop talking!"
"Brother, what words should I use to describe you? You read a lot of books, please teach me!"
"You idiot, do you need a book to describe my Brother Zhi? Just call 6!"
At the door, the voices of Wang Hui, Liu Meng and Zhuang Hongbin came in, together with the dazzling light.
