Chapter 19: The Eve of the Tournament

Two months have passed, and the afterglow of the New Year has gradually dissipated from the air.

The team that Feng Jianxiong cultivated in the school has grown up at a crazy speed under the occasional ear mention of Feng Jianxiong himself, a super legal circle bull.

Needless to say, Yu Meiqin and Nan Xiaoyuan, these smart girls who already have good basic qualities, although they can only devote a small half of their energy to occasional helpers, they quickly become mature and capable, and their whole temperament and aura are different.

Bai Jing, Huang Dalei, and Zhao Hai, who had the opportunity to come into contact with legal practice, were even more grateful to Dade, working overtime every day like a sponge absorbing water, and being diligent.

Under the BUFF of high income, all people are popular and loyal MAX, needless to say.

Feng Jianxiong received five well-known brand operation cases, all kinds of preliminary work in an orderly manner, the registered shell company has been fully arranged, and each of them has put forward some fictitious trademark infringement cases in several provinces, everything is in order.

Several customers also put the advance payment of the second phase to Feng Jianxiong's account, so that he had an extra cash flow of two or three million, and his hand was free again, sweeping away the tightness when he just took 10 million to Liu Yan for equity investment at the beginning of the year.

On the other hand, the NICONICO video network invested by Feng Jianxiong has also shown a thriving development momentum under the careful operation of Liu Yan's technical and operational team.

Liu Yan's team already has the technical and operational strength of the top three to five in China, and if there is no Feng Jianxiong, it will also be carved up by other backward video companies in China, such as iQiyi, or absorbed by AB station.

Now Feng Jianxiong has re-solidified these teams that should have played their own role, and with his unique foresight, the effect is naturally extraordinary, and there will be nothing to do with AB station.

Before the winter vacation, the website developed monthly active users to break the million level, with two or three hundred thousand daily active users and more than 100,000 registered members.

During the winter vacation, Liu Yan bought a small amount of soft text and soft Guang under the guidance of Feng Jianxiong, to do targeted publicity and warm-up, and hype the differentiated advantages of Station N, such as the two-dimensional edge ball resources, personal VLOG sharing, and the exclusive ghost animal area spoof in China, which circled some two-dimensional and hunting users.

By the end of the winter vacation, in just 20 days, the newly built website had almost skyrocketed by several percent. The daily active officially exceeded 500,000, with 200,000 registered members, and its unique popularity in the video circle has also been established, and it has the capital to be spontaneously talked about and disseminated.

Liu Yan was very proud of this, and he also asked Feng Jianxiong to blow it several times, showing that he was well-operated, and thought that Feng Jianxiong's investment decision was simply a treasure.

In Liu Yan's words, there is a faint sense of "it is your honor to let you invest in us", as if he hopes to help Feng Jianxiong recognize the reality and let them borrow money from outside to re-MBO in the future.

(Note: MBO, Managerment-Buy-Out, Management Buyout.) It is the CEO of the company that these executives borrow money from the outside to buy back the equity of the shareholders. )

Feng Jianxiong naturally wouldn't mind Liu Yan's expansion of not knowing how to die. also has a modest posture of "I'm really a dog S luck, I picked up a treasure", put my attitude very low, and looked harmless to humans and animals.

Liu Yan naturally despised Feng Jianxiong even more, and the resurrection of the self-appointed N station was entirely because of his own outstanding talent.

As for the terms of the investment agreement that Feng Jianxiong asked him to sign at the beginning, under the guise of "deceiving third-party investors", he naturally relaxed his vigilance even more, completely forgetting the existence of such a thing.

Originally, Feng Jianxiong also prepared a cooling-off period for a year, so that Liu Yan slowly forgot his advice. I didn't expect that guy to be so uncompetitive, and he forgot about it in less than three months.

……

At the end of February, Star Island.

Adriana Hotel in Westport.

The four members of the Jinling Normal University team, who had just experienced a four-hour long-distance flight, hurriedly checked in.

Anyway, everything in the rear is going well, and Feng Jianxiong is relieved to hand over the affairs inside and outside Station N to Zhou Tianyin and Xu Ming respectively, and leave the well-known operation case to Shi Nike to catch the boss.

The biennial International Collegiate Debating Tournament will be held tomorrow in Sing Tao. The first day was the opening ceremony and the first game of the preliminaries, but the Jinling Normal University team didn't have to play, so Feng Jianxiong and the others could take a break.

The format is a pure knockout round, with a total of four preliminaries, two semi-finals and one finals in Group A. In addition, there are also Group B exhibition matches in which "non-native Chinese speaking universities" participate, so in fact, there are a total of 14 games, one per day for two weeks.

Saturday and Sunday of the second week, March 10/11, are the finals of Group A/B.

The entire event was broadcast live by Sing Tao National Television and Huaxia CCTV, and the TV stations of the other participating countries were not co-organizers and could only purchase the broadcast rights.

The hotel where I stayed was contacted by the organizers, and the reason why I was here is because this Adriana Hotel is very close to Nanyang Technological University, the home of the competition, and it is within walking distance.

Originally, each team was only given two rooms, and even if the number of boys and girls was not enough, they had to adjust themselves. However, individual participating teams can also make up the difference in price and add a room by themselves. Feng saw that he was rich and wealthy, so he naturally added a suite very gentlemanly.

He lives in one by himself, Yu Meiqin lives in another, and Tian Haimo and Nan Xiaoyuan live in one suite.

Yu Meiqin was embarrassed and wanted to invite Tian Haimo to live alone, so she and Nan Xiao squeezed it. However, Tian Haimo took the initiative to refuse, she and Nan Xiaoyuan have been best friends for four years, and they live together very steadily, so there is no need to show off the "treatment level".

When the group arrived at the hotel, they all took a good bath to relax their muscles - the air tickets were set by the organizers, so they were all economy class. Anyone who has been on a long-haul flight for more than four or five hours knows that cramped seats are really torture for knees and legs.

Especially for a tall man like Feng Jianxiong with long legs, can he endure it for a short distance, and everyone will put down his backrest to sleep for 10 hours of ultra-long distance, and this kind of four- or five-hour flight is not embarrassing or embarrassing, and it is the most uncomfortable.

"Xiaoxiong, okay, I'm waiting for you! Let's go to dinner together?"

Feng Jianxiong almost fell asleep in the bathtub, but it was Tian Haimo who knocked on the door to wake him up.

"It's coming, right away. He quickly picked it up, and before his hair was dry, he opened the door quickly.

Fortunately, Star Island is located in the tropics, and it is very hot in February, so you won't catch a cold.

"Why is it so slow?" As soon as Feng Jianxiong went out, Yu Meiqin was concerned.

Feng Jianxiong couldn't help but complain about the dry water: "Have you been in the seat for so long and your legs aren't sore? Especially me, do you know how miserable I am? I'm the last in the row! I can't even put the back of the chair back!"

Nan Xiaoyuan on the side made a joke when he heard this: "That means Xiaoxiong, you are still not thin enough, if you are as slim as us, you will definitely not be uncomfortable." ”

"Alright, let's go down and have a bite to eat, and talk while we eat. Tian Haimo interrupted her best friend's chatter.

A few people went downstairs to find a restaurant that made bak kut tea, which looked like the decoration was not good, but the hygiene seemed to be okay.

The restaurant also doubles as seafood, but everyone was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to the water and soil after a long journey, so they didn't dare to eat seafood, so they ordered simple meals such as bak kut tea curry and chicken rice.

Tian Haimo put down the menu after ordering, and casually asked Feng Jianxiong about his next arrangement: "Will you still rehearse after watching the opening ceremony tomorrow?"

"What is there to rehearse, haven't you been preparing for so long in China? Before the competition, you should relax. You can go shopping and travel if you want, as long as you don't get too tired. Feng Jianxiong was very determined, "But I suggest that after the opening ceremony tomorrow, it is best to finish the opening game - after all, the winning team tomorrow will be the opponent we will meet in the second round, so it is good to study the first-hand information of the opponent first." ”

Nan Xiaoyuan and Feng Jianxiong were the least familiar, so they dared to tease: "Wow, so confident? Listen to your tone, our opponent in the first round is stable, and we have already begun to think about the enemy in the second round." ”

"That's a must, the opponent of the first game, the native chicken tile dog ear~" Feng Jianxiong concluded contemptuously.

According to the draw results of the game, they were arranged in the second game of the preliminary round, and the first opponent to face was the University of Malaya team led by the Malay spray king Hu Biao -

In order to prevent several teams from Huaxia University from being knocked out in advance, the four teams from the four major regions of China are placed in four different preliminaries, so they will face foreign universities (or Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) in the first match.

The opening match was the team of Sun Yat-sen University, the qualifying team of the Huguang Division, against Sing Tao National University.

The second game is Jinling Normal University, the qualifying team from the East China Division, against the University of Malaya.

The third match was played by Nankai University, a team from the North China Division, against Xiangjiang Chinese University

The last game is naturally Xi'an Jiaotong University, the qualifying team from the West China Division, against Wanwan Shixin University.

Now Feng Jianxiong proposed to hurry up and study the winner between Zhongshan and Sing Tao National tomorrow and prepare for the next round of opponents, which obviously did not take the University of Malaya into account, and felt that he had already qualified for the first round.

In the face of Feng Jianxiong's arrogance, Tian Haimo, who was old and serious, persuaded:

"It's better not to underestimate the enemy, people also represent the strongest strength of a country, and other schools are more experienced than us, many of them have participated in several international competitions before, and there are old birds who have already studied in graduate school to participate again.

Like us, the whole school is shortlisted for the first time, and there is no experience in international competitions, and all of them are undergraduates. ”

"But this debate is in our favor - as I have said a long time ago, the debate topics of 'poor will think about change' and 'poor may not think about change' are easily misleading in Han cultural circles.

Everyone's intuition is that the pros and cons of this topic are very balanced, and there is a fight, so the organizing committee will come up with this topic. But in fact, as long as you jump out of the stereotypes of the Han cultural circle, anyone can find that 'poverty does not necessarily mean that change is more advantageous and more mainstream'. ”

The debate topic mentioned in Feng Jianxiong's remarks was the result of the lottery in January. At that time, the two sides learned that the topic of the debate was "thinking about change if you are poor". The University of Malaya drew the positive side of "poor thinking about change", while the Jinling Division Brigade was the opposite side of "poor may not think about change".

During the Chinese New Year, Feng Jianxiong and the team members all got together to train hard and debate difficult problems, and they were naturally familiar with the analysis of various confrontation possibilities on this topic.

Tian Haimo naturally knew that what Feng Jianxiong said was the truth, so he no longer dwelled up.

After a few people discussed the matter for a while, the waiter had already brought up the rice bowl of bak kut tea and curry chicken, and everyone was full first.

Although Sing Tao is also the capital of the country where 98% of the Chinese are located, I have to say that the food is really spicy chicken, which cannot be compared with other countries and regions in the Chinese area. The whole dish is similar to that of the Malays, with strong tropical flavors, the only difference is that the Chinese people in Sing Tao prefer to add shrimp sauce, crab sauce and coconut sauce when cooking with shrimp sauce than Malays.

Perhaps it is also due to the climate, in order to avoid getting hot, you can only use this sweet, sour, salty and spicy smorgasbord seasoning.

"I can't stand it, it's really unpalatable, what kind of flavor is this, every dish is salty, sweet and spicy There must be three tastes, and there are often sour, the chef doesn't put all the seasonings one by one!" Nan Xiaoyuan ate a few bites and dropped it.

"It's a bit heavy, and I already know that it has some non-fried instant noodles. I thought that the people of Sing Tao were the same as other southerners, and their tastes were Cantonese. Tian Haimo's self-control ability is relatively good, although she complains, she still reluctantly continues to eat. She knows that the most important thing to pay attention to now is physical health, and she must not be affected by the water and soil, so the small difficulty of "unpalatable" can be overcome by gritting her teeth.

"It's like this here, or I'll order takeout tomorrow, I know there's a Chinese restaurant around here. Yu Meiqin saw that the seniors were all looking hard, so she proposed.

Nan Xiaoyuan was the first to agree: "Okay, okay, I originally wanted to eat exotic food, since this is the case, it is better to make Chinese food-eh, how do you know a lot about this place, have you ever been to Sing Dao before?"

Yu Meiqin explained lightly: "In the summer after graduating from high school, my mother took me to travel to more than a dozen countries, all of which were casually seen, and I have basically been to East Asian countries. ”

Nan Xiaoyuan said enviously: "Wow, it's good, I've only been to Xiangjiang until my senior year - just look at the visa application to know, we are all new passports, and you have already posted more than a dozen pages." ”

Tian Haimo was not a gossipy person, so he didn't care about other people's passports. Hearing Nan Xiaoyuan mention this, Tian Haimo was a little curious, turned to Feng Jianxiong and asked, "Xiaoxiong, you also got a new passport for this matter?"

Feng Jianxiong nodded: "It's almost-I thought of getting the passport in advance, but it has been blank, and this is the first time I have gone abroad." ”

Tian Haimo asked suspiciously: "But I see that you seem to be very familiar with going abroad." ”

"Maybe Nicole helped me do a solid job of online guides. Scholars, without leaving home, can know the world's affairs. Feng Jianxiong lightly exposed the problem.

He couldn't say: I am a reborn, and when I was a barrister in my last life, I was already a senior trapeze.

"Xiaoxiong, do you think that in tomorrow's game, do you want Sun Yat-sen University to win or the University of Malaya to win? Or who do you think will be stronger?"

"It's hard to estimate the strength at the moment, and at least half of the players from both universities didn't participate in the class two years ago. As for my personal hope, of course, I hope that several teams in China will generally achieve better results - even if the table tennis gold medal is secured, the coach still hopes to win the top four. However, in general, it doesn't matter, anyway, no matter which of them wins, they will still lose to us in the end. ”
