Chapter 304: All Things Are Entangled

Cheng Xiaoyu had a spring dream last night, drew a map on the bed, and the first thing he did when he got up in the morning was to go into the bathroom by himself and wash his underwear first. He felt extremely ashamed in the mirror, and the face of Su Yuxi, who appeared at the end of Chunmeng, now felt a little blurry mixed with Xu Qinning's face, but the sound of his brother still echoed in his ears, which filled his heart with guilt.

Cheng Xiaoyu washed her underwear in two or two, because she was embarrassed to take it to the laundry room to dry, so she could only twist it hard, and then blow it desperately with a hair dryer. Before the underwear was dry, the mobile phone rang, and Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Cao Danian and pressed answer.

"Xiaoyu, it's a pity that your album is not handed over to the company for release!" Cao Danian didn't say hello, and said directly with a little excitement, this album has had too much impact on him, a full thirteen songs, the first of which is a classic, this has to be sung by a slightly more well-known singer, and the diamond record can be said to be a certainty.

Cheng Xiaoyu naturally knows the value of these music, and he is not surprised by Cao Danian's excitement, "Uncle Cao, it's not that I don't want to make friends, because the band is not my alone, and the company is not mine, I must ensure the interests of the other members of our band." And now I'm in dire need of cash. ”

"These songs are all your works, right?" Cao Danian asked directly.

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded unconsciously, didn't speak, and immediately reacted that it was a mobile phone, so he replied, "Hmm." Even though he is accustomed to "sharing", he is subconsciously avoiding these direct questions.

Of course, Cao Danian didn't understand Cheng Xiaoyu's complicated psychology, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then in this case, we also have a lot of bands in Shanghe, and the level is good, or you can start from scratch, so that I can maximize your interests." Cao Danian also has his selfishness here, and he also has two young bands under him, if he can catch Cheng Xiaoyu's express train, it will be a great achievement for him.

Cheng Xiaoyu naturally didn't think about such a thing, and said, "Uncle Cao." Don't mention it. For me, money is still behind friendship. ”

Cao Danian sighed, was silent for a while, and said, "Why don't you talk to the president and see if you can make a special exception." This album is undoubtedly going to be a classic, and it would be a shame to miss it. Of course, you will sell out 500,000 copies of your own print, but the circulation is too small, so your band will not be able to expand its influence. ”

Thinking of this question, Cheng Xiaoyu also felt entangled, whether it was the relationship between father and son. Or the relationship between money and influence. He pondered for a moment and said to Cao Danian: "You should be able to see that my relationship with the president is not very good! If you want me to say it myself, then I would really rather this matter be yellow." If you can sign a reasonable contract with the company, you can hand it over to the company to sell. In the end, he felt that he still had no way to forgive Su Changhe.

Although Cao Danian knew that the relationship between Cheng Xiaoyu and the president did not seem to be harmonious, he thought that the father and son did not have an overnight feud and should have been reconciled a long time ago, but he didn't expect the contradiction to be so sharp, and he couldn't rashly intervene in other people's family affairs, so he could only say, "Okay, since it's my idea, I'll talk to the president tomorrow." There is also a company that is ready to shoot the MV of "Not Full of Lovers" for the idol project, and it is still designated for you to direct. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Oh. If it weren't for the urgent need for cash, it would be better to hand over the album to Shanghe for release, after all, money does not necessarily come in exchange for fame.

Hung up the phone, Cheng Xiaoyu thought of the money and was still a little worried, some time ago Wang Dongliang had no money to borrow 10 million from Yi Yunfei in Shenzhou, and saw that the three months were about to expire, not to mention the repayment of the debt, where Wang Dongliang is still short of funds.

The only thing to be happy about is that the whispers are now gaining momentum. Because of the registration of many celebrities, and the topic of poison creation zào, the user activity of "whispering" is far ahead of GG's "talk" and thin fox's "micro-broadcast". Although GG relies on GG's user stickiness and financial advantages to promote "Talk", the number of users is now close to whispering, but the user activity is far from good. Skinny Fox, on the other hand, made an offer to acquire and collaborate after it was rejected. developed their own "micro-broadcast", of course, they can only follow the footsteps of "whisper", and now they are throwing money and "whispering" to compete for star users, and despicably sent a lawyer's letter asking Xiyu Company to return the right to use the alumni directory, fortunately, Cheng Xiaoyu guarded against the thin fox at the beginning, and the contract naturally did not have a loophole for the thin fox to drill.

In fact, these are not problems, the biggest problem is the hunger and thirst for funds by "whispering". Because server construction is too expensive, the current cloud server rented by Xiaoyu spends millions of dollars every month. At first, it was better, the initial whispering system, the number of visits to the system was relatively small, and the simple number of databases based on MySQL (MySQL) has been able to meet business needs, but now whispering, as one of the largest social media sites in China, carries hundreds of millions of users' service requests every day, and behind these requests, it needs to consume huge computing, memory, network, I/O and other resources.

Moreover, because of the product characteristics of "whispering", holidays and popular events may bring sudden peaks of visits several times or even more than ten times, which put forward more stringent requirements for the underlying infrastructure and servers that support Weibo.

Therefore, it is now necessary to start to implement its own multi-computer room deployment, in order to have a better user experience, so as not to happen that the mobile phone client is opened in a "whisper", and the user can't open the picture for half a day. The research of infrastructure and mobile client requires a large number of top talents, so these two important things can almost be said to be urgent for Xiyu Company.

But in fact, at this time, Cheng Xiaoyu's millions of dollars are a drop in the bucket, and the introduction of venture capital is only a matter of time, but the current price given by venture capital has not yet reached Cheng Xiaoyu's expectations. Cheng Xiaoyu naturally hopes that the higher the valuation of Whispering, the better, and he also needs a little hot spot to detonate the attention of the whole China to Whispering, he is waiting for "Happy Farm" to be launched, and is cooperating with the hype of poison in "Whispering", so that the whole of China will focus on "Whispering", and then carry out the first round of financing, so that he believes that he can obtain a higher valuation and absolute right to speak.

In fact, at first, Thin Fox had proposed a takeover offer of 500 million yuan or 250 million yuan to acquire 50% of the shares. was rejected by Cheng Xiaoyu without hesitation, and he would not hand over the control of "whispering" to anyone. Although the acquisition of 500 million yuan was not reached, it allowed Wang Dongliang and all the employees of Xiyu Company to see the future.

At this time, the "whisper" is valued by the industry at between 800 and 500 million, after all, there are murderous GG and thin foxes chasing behind him, and it is difficult to say whether he will be pulled down from the top in the future. The highest-funded venture capital "Dongyu Partnership" valued "Drizzle" at 650 million, and proposed to invest 65 million to occupy 10% of the company's shares, but was also vetoed by Cheng Xiaoyu The value of the value, you must know that the market value of 100 million US dollars when the user had to die was 5 million, because at this time smartphones were not popular, and mobile phones had not yet entered the core link of social networks, so investors could not see the future of social networks, so it was normal for the valuation to be low.

In fact, Cheng Xiaoyu knows that he will wait for smartphones to shine next year, and he will take the lead in launching "Whisper" and "Whisper" and "Whisper", and Xiyu's valuation will increase at least tenfold, but at this moment, he has no funds to lay out in advance, and every qiē is also a mirror, so he can only raise money first.

Because Cheng Xiaoyu has injected capital twice, Wang Dongliang's shares have been diluted to 8%, which is already the result of Cheng Xiaoyu's calculation of his personal value. Wang Dongliang naturally has nothing to dissatisfaction with, and he is more and more glad that he met Cheng Xiaoyu, at this time, Wang Dongliang can not exaggerate to say that he has immediately entered the ranks of billionaires. Although this is all a number on paper, he still can't afford to buy a house in the capital, but his dream is now within reach.

"Happy Farm" will be launched next week, Cheng Xiaoyu naturally pulled the current most popular "Idol Plan" as an endorsement, this matter was originally written in the contract handed over to Cao Danian, although for the "Idol Project" is now worth tens of millions of endorsements, Shanghe can be said to have given this endorsement as a friendly gift, but without the original support of "Whisper", the "Idol Project" will not go today.

Cheng Xiaoyu felt that he had a lot of things at hand, and he was in charge of Xiyu Company, but he still needed to make decisions about all the important things. The staff beta version of Happy Farm is still waiting for his opinion. Whether the album of "Guilty Crown" will be handed over to Shanghe or made by himself is also a question. is about to shoot the MV of "Not Full of Lovers", and the account that is ready to use "poison" to open his mouth on the Internet at any time, he rubs his hair, hoping that it would be good to have a secretary, and he has to be a beautiful secretary.

When it was time to go to the restaurant, Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated to think that Su Yuxi should go out early in the morning, otherwise he would not dare to eat lunch at home, and he felt shameless to face Su Yuxi. Fortunately, today is a celebration banquet for Shanghe to hold a single-day sales record for the idol plan, and the idol plans to have a full itinerary today, and there will be a bigger celebration banquet when the sales volume reaches diamonds.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't plan to join in the excitement today, he booked the location of Chenlongxing dinner a few days in advance, Chenlongxing is a well-known crab eating resort. At this time, it was the golden season for eating crabs, and the location of Chen Longxing's dinner was also hard to find, and Cheng Xiaoyu could only be determined by Qiao Sansi.

In the afternoon, Cheng Xiaoyu continued to finish some finishing work in the studio, and Cheng Xiaoyu, who was immersed in work, didn't feel that time flew by, and when Wang Ou sent a text message at four o'clock, he suddenly realized it.

Due to Cheng Xiaoyu's strong request, the family added a toy car that is not even a grocery shopping car, mini2.0TCOOPERS, the color is Cheng Xiaoyu's choice of laser blue plus the top of the British flag, not that Cheng Xiaoyu likes the United Kingdom much, purely because the British rice flag is more beautiful.

Thinking that there would be a car for the school in the future, Cheng Xiaoyu drove the toy mini out with satisfaction, and went directly to the Forest of Lights, where they made an appointment to meet. (To be continued.) )
