March 2009 was the "harvest season" of Bian Xuedao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The "vegetable stealing game" of Kaixin.com is popular in China, and KKI software is popular in Europe and the United States. "Minecraft" was successfully launched "first", and variety shows and "free lunch" are ready to go. The strategic direction of the transformation industry was determined, and Dong Xue's pregnancy allowed Bian Jia to add Ding to import.

Basically, it can be said that what Xuedao has done, is doing and is preparing to do at the moment will largely determine the scale and pattern of Youdao Group.

Early morning.

Standing in front of the window of the hotel room, looking at Chicago that was about to wake up, he was refreshed and tired.

After standing quietly for a while, he picked up his mobile phone, found Liao Li's number and dialed it.

The phone rang twice and it went.

Liao Li's lazy voice came from the mobile phone: "Boss, what are the instructions?"

"I didn't have any instructions, I just wanted to ask you about the preparation of the show. ”

"All three program groups were on the scheduled track and recorded and started on time. ”

Turning around, he pulled the chair to the window, sat down, and asked Liao Li, "Did Li Yu contact you?"

"Contacted. ”

"How?"

"Headache!"

"What's the headache?"

Liao Lian also seemed to sit down and replied, "For the sake of choosing a song." ”

Pick a song?!

Bian Xuedao suddenly became interested: "Tell me." ”

Liao Li sighed lightly: "Li Yu doesn't like the song arranged by the director team, and the song director team Li Yu chooses by himself thinks it's not suitable." ”

"Not suitable?" asked Bian Xuedao, "What song did he choose?"

"It's a long song list, with more than 10 songs, and there are all kinds of songs. Liao Lian said bluntly: "To be honest, Li Yu's level is no problem passing the first round. If you choose a good song in the second round, it's okay. In the third round, it will depend on his and his opponent's on-the-spot performance. ”

"Li Yu is a senior executive of the group, and it is reasonable for the program team to guarantee him, the problem is that Li Yu's identity is not suitable for being the main publicity star, and it is impossible for him to change careers to become a singer, so the ideal arrangement is to let Li Yu stop in the top 16, no matter how high the ranking is, it is not only a waste of program resources, but also may harm the fairness and impartiality of the program, which is not conducive to the ratings. ”

After listening to Liao Li, Bian Xuedao instantly realized one thing - Li Yu didn't say anything about his preparation for the show.

If Li Yu said it, Liao Lian would not say anything to stop in the top 16, because what Bian Xuedao said to Li Yu was to take the stage in the top 8 "guest singing" link.

is also because if Li Yu told Liao Liming that he was going to take the stage while learning the Tao, Liao Licheng would be able to jump up in surprise, and then be overjoyed, and would definitely not say anything "not beneficial to the ratings".

After a little thought, I understood the reason while learning the Tao.

Li Yu doesn't say it, it is a manifestation of his maturity.

Although he was very sure of what he said on the plane, because "the matter is serious" and for the sake of prudence, Li Yu did not rashly disclose it to the public.

The matter is obvious, once Li Yu told Liao Li, Liao Lihe and Jing Qianhua will inevitably revise the publicity strategy of the show, and the whole body will be affected, and many links will have to be readjusted.

When it really comes to that point, learning the Tao while is equivalent to being "framed" - you have to go up, and you have to go up if you don't go up.

Holding the mobile phone and thinking about it, Bian Xuedao said: "I watched the "The Voice" tutor configuration you listed with Jing Qianhua before...... A professional is responsible for professional reviews, a superstar or vase is responsible for attracting attention, a poisonous tongue is responsible for creating topics, and another is responsible for funny and moody atmosphere. From an entertainment point of view, this combination is ideal and mature. But now the problem is that Shen Fu can't come, what about our team, although we have put a lot of effort into learning and training, but after all, it is a new recruit, and it is difficult to ensure that the production quality is first-class, so ......"

After a pause, Bian Xuedao continued: "In order to achieve the goal of the show's instant hit, I discussed it with Li Yu and decided to go on stage to help sing, sacrifice my ego, and achieve a big ......."

"You wait!"

Liao Lian shouted on the phone, and said very quickly: "What did you just say? Say it again!"

I said...... Sacrificing the ego ......"

"Not this one!

I said...... I discussed it with Li Yu and decided to go on stage to help sing. ”

"Are you on stage?" said Liao Lian in an incredible tone, "You're not joking, are you? You've just been drinking? Still haven't woken up? What time is it over there? Hey...... You're not sleepwalking!"

Sleepwalking?

He glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "It's just 6 o'clock in the morning here, 15 minutes ago, I was woken up by myself as usual, I'm pretty sure, it's not sleepwalking." ”

A few seconds later, Liao said "I'll call you in 10 minutes" and hung up the phone.

Just 10 minutes later, Bian Xuedao's mobile phone rang.

Liao Lian bluntly put forward three requirements to Bian Xuedao on the phone: First, you can't back down. The second point is to cooperate with publicity. The third point is to urge Li Yu to choose songs.

The first and second points are easy to say, and the third point is purely helpless.

Li Yu is the head of the group's supervision department, with a high position, and the executive director who is responsible for communicating with him does not dare to ask Li Yu too much. Not to mention the executive director, even Vice President Jing Qianhua is not good at vetoing Li Yu's ideas again and again.

And Liao Lian was too busy to stare at Li Yu and communicate repeatedly, so Liao Lian dumped Li Yu to Bian Xuedao.

Bian Xuedao happily took the "hot potato" Li Yu over, comforted Liao Li, and said: "I know that you are working hard, so when the United States is done, I will personally go over to cheer you up." ”

Liao Lian listened, pouted with his mobile phone and said, "You have said this several times, but I haven't seen you come once." ”

Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "I will definitely go this time, and I will never break my promise." By the way, you can pass me Li Yu's song list in a while, and I'll see how well he chooses songs. ”

……

……

A day later, the Gulfstream G550 flew elegantly above the clouds.

Bian Xuedao and Ai Feng sat on the sofa in the middle of the cabin, drinking wine and talking softly.

Knowing what Ai Feng wanted to talk to him, Bian Xuedao was not worried about any means of communication, so he asked Ai Feng to fly from San Francisco to Chicago, and the two talked on a private jet.

Talking on the plane can block all means of surveillance, and if the news leaks, it can only be that there is a problem with the people around Bian Xuedao.

Bian Xuedao does not believe that there is absolute loyalty in the world, but he believes that smart people will understand that leaking secrets in this environment is killing themselves.

It's easy to see.

No matter how many other employees of Youdao Group leak secrets, Bian Xuedao is just a businessman. And if you find that the person you trust most around you has betrayed, it is not unusual to trigger some kind of fierce revenge.

in the cabin.

Listening to Ai Feng talk about the recent situation today, listening to Ai Feng introduce the plan of the security company, he picked up the pen and wrote a line of words on the paper.

Staring at the words for a few seconds, Ai Feng had a solemn expression and nodded slowly.

……

……

Yenjing time, March 15, China, Pudong, Shanghai.

Wu Sijie, vice president of Youdao Group, came to an electronic technology company called Ruihua Jiake and had a three-hour closed-door conversation with the company's founder and CEO.

On March 16, Yanjing time, Huo Dongfeng appeared in Shenzhen and quietly met with Zhu Zhijiang, founder and chairman of Transyin Technology. The meeting between the two lasted for seven hours, during which Zhu Zhijiang only asked his secretary to send two meat buns to the office, which he often eats.

At the same time, Shen Ya'an and Hong Chengfu went to Europe together.

Shen Ya'an's first stop in Europe is the UK, where he will represent Youdao Group in signing a £50 million partnership agreement with the University of Manchester's Graphene Research Laboratory.

Shen Ya'an's second stop is Germany, where he will visit the headquarters of BASF-SE (BASF AG) in Ludwigshafen am Rhein to discuss the acquisition of BASF's OLED patent portfolio intellectual property assets.

The first stop on his European tour is Allschwil in Switzerland, where he will negotiate the acquisition of Rolic, a privately held OLED technology company called Rolic, in a deal that includes Rolic's R&D facilities in Allschwil, Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and Shanghai, China.

Hong Chengfu's second stop was Belgium.

According to intelligence information provided by the consulting firm, a technology company with 70 technical employees in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, holds 32 graphene patents in its hands, and Hong Chengfu will contact the company to discuss the acquisition.

At the same time, Fu Caining and Wu Sijie began negotiations with Goldman Sachs, Citibank and other banks to seek a five-year financing of $8 billion.

$8 billion in financing may seem like a lot, but it's not much.

This "not much" has two meanings: the first meaning is that there are too many places to spend money while learning the Tao, and $8 billion is not enough, and maybe it will continue to raise funds in a year or two; the second meaning is that others want to raise $8 billion may be a fool's dream, but it is basically not difficult for Youdao Group, which has just become famous for "stealing vegetables" and KKI.

Not to mention the other strong businesses of Youdao Group, just looking at KKI's own innovation and its popularity in the United States, I don't know how many people are willing to pay money to Youdao.

In the eyes of Bian Xuedao, with 8 billion US dollars in 5 years, he has full confidence to pay it back.

The confidence comes not only from Youdao Group's healthy cash flow, corporate revenue and growth rate, but also from the equity of "Minecraft" worth more than $3 billion and Dajiang UAV worth more than $4 billion.

The above two items alone are basically enough to fill the pit of $8 billion in principal and interest, which is not counting the expected income of the upcoming "Plants vs. Zombies", the equity of Kaixin.com, the overseas licensing income of variety shows, and the general agent of Dajiang UAV in North America and Europe.

In addition, the expected income of mobile phones entering the African market has added a double insurance to Bian Xuedao's industrial plan.

In the final analysis, Bian Xuedao dared to make up his mind to enter the industry, because he could afford to play and lose. To this day, having 10 billion assets and owning 100 billion assets make no difference to the quality of life of Bian Xuedao.

And I have always had a faint thought in my heart when I was learning the Tao - I can't be a coward who relies on the prophet to cheat all my life. Go out and break through, even if you hang up in 2014, at least you are brave once, fearless once, at least for the people in this time and space in the field of science and technology. I took advantage of many people in this time and space, and used the money I earned to develop science and technology for the benefit of the public, and I also took it here and used it for this.

March 17, Yenching time.

The annual "315" is hot and cool quickly, and only one day later, all the major domestic media have shifted their focus and looked around for valuable news.

At 12:15 p.m. on the 17th, an account named "Xu Moumou" on Zhiwei's Weibo silently posted a long Weibo.

The title of the long Weibo is very simple, seven words - "Free Lunch Proposal".

Originally, Xu Shangxiu and Jiang Nannan thought of four or five brilliant titles, but they were all vetoed by Bian Xuedao.

The reason for Bian Xuedao's veto is very simple, this title is the "light source" of Xu Shangxiu's aura in the future, not seeking literary brilliance, but only seeking to be clear at a glance, pointing directly to the core.

What core?

Free lunch!

Initiate!

In the long Weibo, there is not much text, mainly pictures.

Of all the images, three are the most impressive.

One is a simple classroom, where 21 children sit at a dilapidated desk, each holding a porridge jar, and drinking porridge with their heads up;

One shows 19 children standing in front of a wall painted with a height scale, and the narration reads, "The height of the children here is 11 centimeters lower than the national average for rural students";

One shows the tallest and fattest of the 26 children standing on a scale, and the caption reads, "The weight of the children here is 10 kilograms lower than the national average for rural students."

At the end of the long Weibo, "Xu Moumou" wrote: Because of hunger and lack of nutrition, the children here are stunted and lack vitality, and even playing games has become very luxurious. And most of these emaciated children are kind, intelligent, upright, and studious, and they can grow up to be virtuous and promising citizens. I sincerely hope that the children can eat a gruel lunch that is not bottled with old mineral water, and I would like to ask all sectors of society to pay attention to the health of these children, and ask all sectors of society to donate money to children in poor areas and provide free lunches, so that children can avoid hunger and malnutrition.

20 minutes after the long Weibo was issued, it was noticed by more than 10 big V accounts on Zhiwei Weibo with more than one million "friends", commented and forwarded.

As soon as these 10 or so big V accounts were forwarded, the number of reads and comments on the Weibo immediately increased exponentially.

Within 40 minutes, a total of more than 50 big V accounts with more than one million "friends" were forwarded one after another.

An hour later, more than 10 super V accounts with more than 5 million "friends" joined the discussion. The participation of these accounts made the popularity of "Free Lunch" rise rapidly, and in less than half an hour, it rose from 16th to the top of the "Hot List".

Zhiwei Weibo is a domestic news distribution platform and public opinion vane, one thing is hot on Zhiwei Weibo, 95% of the country's media will pay attention to it.

Soon, the huge news machine was in motion.

The curtain opens!
