Chapter 355: Bet
"Boss, are you still having fun on Treasure Island?"
Haas, who has been reborn, does not have the shabby and depressed when Li Mo first saw him. If Li Mo is not mistaken, this guy is busy with work, and he is even a little fatter.
"Okay." Li Mo replied casually and asked, "Just returned to Seoul to find me, is there something important?" โ
Haas retracted his smile, "Yes boss, I want to know what you think of the future. Simply put, how far do you want it to go? โ
"Let's come into your office."
Haas nodded hurriedly, "I'm confused, please come in." โ
Of course, the office of the tech house is not tidy, and there are takeaway boxes on the messy desks that have not been thrown away, and the smell that comes out, Li Mo is sure that it has stayed here for more than a day.
Haas smirked, hurriedly digging out a bag and sweeping the garbage off the table.
"I've been a little busy lately, and Aunt Cleaning doesn't come to clean up for some reason."
Li Mo smiled, "How about hiring a personal female secretary for you?" โ
"Okay... Hehe, boss, don't make fun of me, my feelings for Winnie are unwavering. โ
After teasing Haas, Li Mo continued the topic just now, "Why are you asking me this question?" โ
Haas said, "In the past few days since the boss left, I discussed with Philip, and I felt that we should lower our expectations, it may not reach our ideal state. โ
"To put it simply, although we add social features, it is a new and cool tool for users. Other image-sharing software giants, such as Gram, are open to features similar to art filters, and it's hard for us to beat them. โ
Li Mo thought thoughtfully, "Is it because they take the initiative and have a more stable user base than ours?" โ
Haas smiled bitterly, "There are also funds, resources, technology, and so on. Unless you burn a lot of money, plus a little luck, it's hard. โ
"I see, what are your plans?"
Li Mo's attitude was very good, which made Haas feel a lot more relieved. Although he has rejuvenated his career, he is very self-aware, and the technical aspect is quite characteristic for the time being, but compared with those large companies, technology is not the focus at all, just seize the opportunity.
"Try to grow and sell for a good price."
Li Mo couldn't cry or laugh, "You think so long-term!" โ
However, he didn't dislike this behavior too much, and he naturally didn't invest because he pretended to be a good person to help Haas, but also because he was optimistic that he could make money.
At this time, Philip also pushed the door open and came in.
"The boss is there too, huh? That's just right. โ
Philip found a seat and sat down, "Red Pine Capital is interested in investing, but the asking price is relatively high, and I am still talking to them." โ
"10 million dollars for 30% of the shares, in a little more than a month, our valuation has come to 30 million dollars, which is good news."
But Philip continued, "But now that the server is under a lot of pressure, it is necessary to bring in investment. โ
"I'm okay with that."
Li Mo didn't want to throw most of his funds on it.
The three of them got together to discuss the future development, and it didn't end until it was time for Li Mo to go to the appointment.

Hanwang Palace barbecue.
The high-end barbecue chain under the Weimei Group experienced a period of low ebb after being acquired by Li Mo. After redecorating and training the staff, the snowflake Korean beef produced by Hantang Ranch regained its reputation.
With its excellent taste, snowflake hanbeef adds a bright color to Korea's sluggish hanbe. Therefore, Hanwanggong barbecue has once again become the best choice for company dinners and class reunions.
The ratings of "The Inheritors" exceeded 20% last week, and because Li Mo was not in South Korea, this celebration dinner was postponed to today.
"Writer Li, is the trip to Treasure Island going well?"
"Do you have any of our souvenirs?"
The leading actors and directors of the crew, as well as Baek Seok-jae of SBS TV, were all happy to ask Li Mo for gifts.
"Yes, on the day I came back, I bought the same standard gift at the airport duty-free shop, everyone has a share." Li Mo also replied with a smile.
"Writer Li, this is not authentic!"
"Duty-free gifts don't reflect your value."
Park Shin Hye's bright eyes turned, hugged her side and asked with a smile, "What gift did our Miss Liu receive?" โ
The two daughters also became good friends in the crew, knowing that Li Mohe's relationship was close, there was nothing wrong with joking.
"It's a secret."
Li Mo changed the topic and said, "As soon as I returned to Seoul, I saw the scandal between Shin Hye and Brother Min Ho, so they won't really be together, right?" โ
The two protagonists who were ridiculed looked calm.
"This is a propaganda strategy, and Jiang PD also wants to rush to 25% of the ratings." Baekseok explained.
"I don't think there's a chance."
Everyone couldn't cry or laugh when they heard it, how could there be a screenwriter like Li Mo who had no confidence in his TV series.
"What if it breaks through 25%? Would you like to make a bet with us? "Don't look at Park Shin Hye looking like a gentle lady, in fact, she is the most active in the crew.
"Not a bad idea, Writer Li shouldn't refuse, right?" Bai Shizai immediately took over as soon as he heard it, he was the oldest among the people, and Li Mo couldn't rely on it even if he wanted to.
"OK, who's afraid of whom? Let's talk about bets first, this is me Li Mo and I challenge you together, and those who lose can't be religent! โ
"Oppa, what's the matter with me?" A bewildered face.
"Okay, okay, it's from Writer Li's side. We limit it to 25% of the ratings, and as long as any episode has more than 25% ratings, even if Writer Lee loses. On the contrary, if we lose, everyone has no opinion, right? โ
"I have!" puffed out her face and retorted weakly, but she had no say at all. can only stare at Li Mo angrily, if his eyes can kill, Li Mo will die several times.
The bet aroused everyone's competitiveness, and they didn't even pay much attention to the barbecue.
"What's the stake? Why don't you lose wear fluffy hot pants and take a walk around the subway station? โ
Speechless, Seoul is as hot as a stove this July, and you are still wearing hot pants? Just thinking about it makes you sweat. In particular, the Zheng sisters don't know if it's genetic factors, and they are particularly afraid of heat. For example, in the summer, I can't wait to sleep with the air conditioner, and I eat ice cream for three meals.
"Hot pants are not enough, so you have to wear down anyway!"
Li Mo and Qi Qi glared at the seemingly honest director Jiang Xiaoxin, down? It's the rhythm of the hot dead.
"PD good idea, that's it!"
Li Mo retorted viciously, "We don't necessarily lose yet!" โ
In fact, Li Mo's intestines are about to regret it, he would have said 30% if he knew it, such ratings can hardly break through, and 25% is really possible to achieve it if he works hard to promote it.
"It doesn't matter, there are a lot of us, even if we are ridiculed by the people, we are not as interesting as Writer Li and us! Popular writers and popular idols, wow, that's a really good hype trick. Mr. Bai, it seems that we can also use this news to promote it! โ
Bai Shizai smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "That's right, I'll let people announce it to the public tomorrow!" โ
Li Mo finally understood what it felt like to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
