Chapter 198: Look at Li Yiru
This is the first time in Professor Lin Feng's life to comment, he really can't hold back the excitement in his heart, as a historian, he understands how complete, rigorous, and convincing the theory of the "Axial Age" put forward by Li Yiru!
When he saw that netizens generally had a negative attitude, he couldn't wait to pull all netizens in front of him and listen to himself defend Li Yiru.
He typed excitedly and explained to netizens with the rigor of a famous professor, but while he was playing, the screen went black, Li Yiru went offline, and the live broadcast room was closed.
At this time, Professor Lin Feng had a feeling that he was not vomiting and unhappy in his heart, and he suddenly wondered why his emotions were so abnormal?
suddenly woke up to the fact that it was not that he was abnormal, but that Li Yiru was too abnormal, and he actually put forward a convincing theoretical system in a live broadcast.
What did Li Yiru do, how could he come up with a set of theories while talking and laughing, and it didn't seem to be difficult?
Perhaps, because of watching the live broadcast, I didn't carefully study Li Yiru's "statement"? Perhaps, this set of "statements" is not as flawless and impeccable as I subconsciously thought?
After all, it's unrealistic for an 18-year-old to come up with a theory!
Professor Lin Feng immediately calmed down and decided to reorganize the key content of Li Yiru's entire live broadcast.
So, he sat down at his desk, flipped through the notes he had just taken, and studied them one by one.
The granddaughter ran into the study at this time: "Grandpa, grandma let you sleep!"
Lin Feng said: "I'll deal with the work first!"
"Grandpa, isn't this Li Yiru's live broadcast content? You actually copied it by hand, it's so outdated, and you can't copy it all!"
Lin Feng smiled: "My granddaughter is right, I really haven't had time to copy it down, let grandpa think about it!"
"Eh, I've recorded the screen, I'll show you!" granddaughter took out her phone and began to flip through the photo album.
Grandpa exclaimed: "Girl, you actually recorded the screen?"
"Li Yiru is my male god, I want to marry him in my dreams!!" the granddaughter shouted excitedly.
The son poured cold water on the side: "You look so good with me, don't worry, Li Yiru doesn't look down on you!"
"Grandpa, look at your eldest son!"
Lin Feng said: "How can you say that? A person at the level of Li Yiru, who has gotten rid of low-level interests, how can he only look at the appearance when he picks girls, then he must pay more attention to talent."
So eldest granddaughter, you must study hard and work hard, if you are admitted to Fudan next year, you will be able to see your senior brother!"
The granddaughter was not very happy: "Grandpa, do you think I am ugly too?"
......
As soon as the live broadcast ended, Li Yiru closed the folder, and all the employees walked in quickly.
Someone reported the live broadcast data: "Mr. Li, the live broadcast data is out."
A total of 72 million people watched online;
up to 31 million people online in real time;
The average number of people online is 25 million;
The total revenue of a single live broadcast is 22 million yuan!
All the stats are the highest you held before!"
Li Yiru secretly rejoiced, the income of the last live broadcast was only about 4 million, from 19 million on New Year's Day to about 4 million, this New Year's Day live broadcast not only rebounded strongly, but also refreshed the previous record, in terms of data, Li Yiru was successful again.
This live broadcast, because it is a live broadcast of the Spring Festival, so Doule specially recorded the whole process, which is a precious video material in the future.
A staff member took a microphone and began to interview Li Yiru: "Mr. Li, we have collected a lot of questions from netizens, may I ask, can you answer them conveniently?"
Li Yiru smiled: "Okay!"
"The first question is, some netizens asked, you are the only star of Chinese culture in China, may I ask, have you considered publishing your works?"
Li Yiru nodded: "Of course, about the theory of the Axial Age, I will publish a book in the future." ”
"Huh, excuse me, when is it?"
"Since I am very busy with my studies, I should have completed the book during the two-month vacation after the college entrance examination. ”
The second netizen's question is, Mr. Li, what kind of girl do you like?"
"Of course I like talented girls. ”
"What if a girl is very, very talented, but a little ugly, would you still want to be with her?"
"Oh, I'll give her up to someone who likes her more. ”
......
After accepting the interview, Li Yiru hurriedly went home to rest, after all, on the second day of junior high school, he will follow the delegation of the Ministry of Education to study abroad, as an outstanding youth representative, he can't go abroad with black circles, right?
Li Yiru slept peacefully, but this night, the entire Internet was discussing Li Yiru's "Axial Age" theory.
99.9% of netizens do not know the value of Li Yiru's live broadcast content, and they can only judge the importance of this matter based on their own feelings.
A few experts and scholars who have watched the live broadcast have begun to stand in line, but it is not obvious to stand in line.
Scholars who support Li Yiru are not very sure in their words, and often make comments such as "there is some truth", "it is very convincing to some extent", "this is a very in-depth live broadcast", etc.
The meaning of this kind of comment is very clear: you said it well, we admire it, but whether the theory of "Axial Age" is correct or not, we don't dare to say that it is right for the time being.
Among experts and scholars, there are no die-hard supporters of Li Yiru for the time being, and most of them are the above kind of words that have room for maneuver.
After all, the proposal of a theory is not a child's play, this is a very serious matter, and when scholars see a new theory, they often need to spend a certain amount of energy to demonstrate.
In order not to be hasty and rigorous, when many scholars see Li Yiru's theory of the Axial Age, although they think it is very reasonable, they will not rashly become staunch supporters of the theory.
They need some time to discuss and think, after all, they are all people in the industry, and if they are on the wrong side, their authority will be seriously questioned.
In particular, after the excitement of these experts and scholars gradually cooled down, they suddenly thought of a fatal question - he is only 18 years old!
At the age of 18, he put forward a blockbuster theory, which is too unbelievable.
Age is often an important indicator of a person. It's not true, but it's universal.
If it was a 48-year-old scholar who put forward this theory, then the situation would be different, and if it was a 68-year-old master of history, then the industry would respond and support it in an instant!
People always come to know the world through colored glasses.
The whole network is noisy, and the "Axis Era" theory directly became the first hot search list at 1 o'clock in the morning and the first hot search list at 2 o'clock in the second year of junior high school......
In the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, just 2 hours after Li Yiru completed the live broadcast, that is, at 2 o'clock in the morning, in the conference room of a hotel, the Jaeger-LeCoultre team was in heated negotiations with Zhou Nannan's team on an endorsement contract.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre team had a strong and well-established line-up of lawyers, not only from China, but also from the Swiss headquarters.
The general leader of the team is a foreigner who has landed in China, and he is also from Switzerland. The whole team of more than 20 people shows that Jaeger-LeCoultre attaches great importance to this matter.
Jaeger-LeCoultre, one of the world's top 10 watches, goes without saying much about its quality, but its popularity among the Chinese people is too low, and it can't be compared with Rolex, Omega, etc.
Of course, Omega is not one of the top 10 watches, so it doesn't have a place to be. As for the well-known Tissot, uh...... Tissot is quite embarrassed, you say buy it and pretend to be forced, but you can't pretend to be it, you say it's faith, it doesn't have any faith yet. It can only be said that the average salaried class can afford to spend a good watch.
As for Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, it also has relatively cheap watches, and there are also watches that cost tens of thousands of yuan, which can actually attract the favor of a group of elites.
In a megacity like Beijing, where monthly salaries of more than 10,000 yuan abound, and monthly incomes of tens of thousands are also common, Jaeger-LeCoultre's low-end table has a wide range of target groups.
Moreover, there are too many high-income people in Huaguo now, so from 2020 onwards, Jaeger-LeCoultre will make every effort to open up the Huaguo market. And the spokesperson is a very key factor.
Because of the special importance attached to the Chinese market, the people from the Swiss headquarters flew in person on the same day.
However, foreigners are somewhat arrogant, as if there is a posture of "I am a top luxury product, and I have the absolute right to speak".
On Zhou Nannan's team, in addition to lawyer Wu, there is also his assistant lawyer, and his agent Zheng Qiangxian was also present.
Facing the scene of dozens of people in the opposing team, these four people were half a cut shorter in momentum.
Fortunately, Mr. Wu and Mr. Cheng are both very professional professionals in the industry, and they are under pressure to fight for every benefit with each other.
The negotiations have reached an impasse, and it is inappropriate to negotiate everywhere, not to mention the conditions for Li Yiru to jump out of the contract.
The negotiations between the two sides have not progressed for a long time, and the person in charge, Federer, whispered a few words to Lin Guofeng, Lin Guofeng was stunned, and had to say: "Our two sides have big differences, and they can't be negotiated in a moment, and it's very late now, so I suggest that we talk about it another day, and tonight will be the first thing." What do you think?"
Zhou Nannan got up: "That's the only way." ”
Lin Guofeng stepped forward to shake hands and said: "Business negotiations are like this, there is no overnight thing, and we have shown the greatest sincerity, so please also make some concessions." We'll talk about that at another time. ”
Zhou Nannan said regretfully: "Mr. Lin, we have one thing that is unshakable, that is, we terminate the contract clause early, if your company can't accommodate this clause at its discretion, I'm sorry, we really don't need to talk about it anymore." ”
"Uh...... This is very unrealistic, and please start with the traditional contract. ”
Federer whispered to the translator, "Was hat sie gesagt?" (What did she say?)
Translation: "Wenn Sie nicht mit den grundlegenden Bedingungen einverstanden sind, brauchen Sie keinen weiteren Termin zu vereinbaren." (If you don't agree to the basic terms, there's no need to talk about it any further.) )
Federer shrugged, was amused, shook his head, and turned to walk away quickly.
As soon as he got into the car, Federer lost his temper with Lin Guofeng and said, "Wir k?? nnen jemand anderen unterschreiben.” (We can sign someone else to do so.) )
Lin Guofeng instantly became nervous: "No, no, no, Mr. Federer, Li Yiru is now the most unique and potential star in China, his future is limitless, we must not miss him!"
The translator hurriedly translated with Federer.
Lin Guofeng said: "Moreover, if a series of watches with the theme of Chinese culture are launched, except for Li Yiru, no one is more suitable for endorsement." ”
Translation: "Mr. Federer said, what about your top painters in China?"
"We have the top living painters in China, but we don't have a good reputation. ”
Translation: "What about your Chinese folk musicians?"
Lin Guofeng: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I don't know who he is!"
Translation: "What about your Chinese dancers?"
......
One question after another pierced into the hearts of the Chinese people present like sharp knives.
Federer's desire to find outstanding figures in all fields of Chinese culture to speak for him was a fine idea, but it sounded particularly harsh.
Because, at this time, everyone found out that in the field of traditional Chinese culture, there is no one with extensive social popularity, and no one can gain the respect of the public!
With a population of 1.5 billion, it is impossible to find a painter, folk musician, dancer, and writer with far-reaching influence and a wide range of fans......
The decline of traditional culture embarrassed the Chinese people present.
Everyone always says that China is a cultural power, but what about the masters? Without masters, how can there be a cultural power?
Translation: "If we can't find any such cultural celebrities with public appeal? ”
Lin Guofeng: "Others can't, Li Yiru is one of the most popular among the younger generation, and it is closely integrated with cultural themes!"
Translation: "Mr. Federer said, I know that your stars in China have only been popular for a year or two, so don't think about young people, and sign those real big-name stars who have been popular for more than 10 years." For example, Fan Bingbing!"
"She can't, it's cold. ”
Translation: "Mr. Federer asked, what does it mean to be cold." ”
Lin Guofeng said angrily: "As a translator, you won't take the initiative to translate to him?"
The translator was speechless, so he had to explain to Federer, and then said: "Mr. Federer said, in short, we must not be led by the nose, the three-legged toad can't be found, and the two-legged star is not easy to find?"
Lin Guofeng was stunned: "He still knows this saying?"
Translation: "I directly sinicized." ”
Lin Guofeng said angrily: "You tell him that if you consider making a watch for Huaguo culture, in the entire Huaguo, there is no star above the second tier who is more suitable than Li Yiru to endorse Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, and there is no one!"
Translation: "Mr. Federer said, and you also told him that with the long history and social reputation of the Jaeger-LeCoultre family, he must not be led by the nose by an 18-year-old star, and he must not be led by the nose!
"Damn!" Lin Guofeng was about to be angry.
Translation: "Huh?"
"Don't translate this. ”
Translation: "Er sagte gute Nacht." (He says goodnight.) )
Federer nodded: "!"
After Lin Guofeng returned to the hotel, he directly sent an email to the headquarters to complain, and said that letting a person who did not understand the current situation of Huaguo open up the Huaguo market would fail in attitude. and once again stated the degree of compatibility between Li Yiru's star attributes and Jaeger-LeCoultre.
The email was quickly replied to, but it was just a few words of persuasion and no valuable information.
Obviously, foreigners still don't know what Li Yiru, who exploded in China in three months, means in the current era.
After all, if we don't go deep into Switzerland, it's just hearsay, and if we only know about it through news information, we can't really understand other people's customs and culture, which is a natural barrier.
As soon as Li Yiru got up the next morning, he received a call from Zhou Nannan, who cried and said: "Our cooperation with Jaeger-LeCoultre may have to collapse, I didn't do this job well!"
Li Yiru rubbed his eyes: "It's going to collapse, it doesn't matter." ”
"Huh, they just replied to me that if they continue to stick to our most basic terms, they can only express regret. ”
"Oh, they regret it? I don't have any regrets, it's fine. ”
"Ahh
Li Yiru said: "There are some bottom lines that must not be touched. My bottom line is that I'm not completely controlled by people.
They may think that our requirements are a bit high, but I think otherwise, the terms we really insist on are responsible for our consumers, responsible for our reputation, and when it comes to profit sharing, we are not out of the question.
Maybe when other celebrities sign contracts, they put the cart before the horse, but we can't, let's make money by endorsement, we must have a conscience!"
Zhou Nannan said: "But I think it's still a pity." ”
"It doesn't matter, the bottom line is unshakable. ”
"By the way, I watch the news, is your 'Axial Age' theory serious?"
"Of course, if nothing else, by the time I return home, the dust should be settled!"
When Li Yiru put down the phone, the overwhelming news was sweeping the entire network.
Since the early hours of the morning, the top of the hot search list has been firmly occupied by the "Axis Era"!
After the pseudo-thesis of "Later Teachers", the genius of Chinese studies once again put forward the remarks that shocked the whole country, and at the age of 18, he single-handedly put forward the theory of the "Axial Age"!
The eyes of the entire network are all focused on this matter, and everyone knows that if Li Yiru's theory is really recognized and supported by the industry, then he will complete a gorgeous turn!
From a star of Chinese culture to an academic star!
In the former, it is enough to memorize more articles and have rich knowledge reserves, but in the latter, one needs to come up with a solid academic research of oneself!
It's a huge leap forward and a person's sublimation!
The majority of netizens are in the midst of discussions, and they wonder in their hearts: Can he become an academic star?
All netizens are quietly waiting for the public statement of the industry's authoritative figures, as if only the certification of famous historians can determine Li Yiru's quality.
And Li Yiru is ready to leave the troubled country and go abroad for investigation. After looking at the itinerary, they found that the last stop was Switzerland, and in addition to learning about their teaching mode and characteristics, they were also invited to visit a Swiss watchmaking factory.
Li Yiru couldn't help but be interested, as the birthplace of top watches, Li Yiru was also very interested in this, and he didn't know if it was very cheap to buy a watch locally, or why not, get a few pieces back and be a diligent purchasing?
