Chapter 577: One Hundred Million
Although the contract has been signed, the negotiations are far from over.
So after shaking hands, the three of them sat back at the "negotiation table". Wang Xing took the initiative to refill Xu Kun and Dong Ge's tea and asked a key question first: "When will Director Xu and CEO Liu announce the acquisition of Fanfou?"
"This is not urgent."
Xu Kun smiled and said, "At least we should realize the value of Fanfou's existing users first, and then announce this news. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the united atmosphere of Fanfou now?"
An atmosphere of unity?
Wang Xing originally thought so, but now he feels like a thorn in his back. The biggest consensus among Fanfou users in the past month or so is to mock Xu Kun in a sarcastic way, and then take the opportunity to reflect on Jian Zheng.
And now Xu Kun has already taken control of Fanfou’s controlling stake…
Seeing Wang Xing twisting his butt unconsciously in his chair, Liu Qiangdong said with a smile: "In fact, Director Xu has also put in a lot of effort behind the scenes to make Fanfou have such a 'full of righteous people' atmosphere. Otherwise, no matter how like-minded those people are, they would not have gathered so quickly."
Xu Kun shrugged: "I can't help it. Who made me have a special liking for Mr. Wang's Fanfou?"
It turns out that this Xu had already set his sights on Fanfou long before the incident broke out!
When Wang Xing heard what the two said, he secretly hated them, but was also quite excited, because since Xu Kun and Liu Qiangdong were willing to put in so much effort, they must be very optimistic about the Weibo + celebrity strategy.
But what does Xu Kun mean when he says that he wants to first squeeze out the surplus value of these "anti-Xu fighters"?
"Is such that."
Although Wang Xing was asking Xu Kun, it was Liu Qiangdong who answered him: "We are planning a 315 Sincerity Shopping Festival to promote our JD Mall's principle of honesty, integrity and no fakes."
315 is indeed quite compatible with ’s current business model, and it also hits the soft spot of Taobao’s current mixture of genuine and fake products.
But what does this have to do with Fanfou?
Wang Xing asked suspiciously, "Boss Liu wants us to join the promotion?"
This shouldn't be of any use, right?
After all, the recent public opinion against Xu Kun was caused by his investment of 100 million yuan in
There is no reason for Fanfou’s current users to go to for support.
"It is propaganda, yes, but it is not positive propaganda, it is negative propaganda."
"Counter-propaganda?"
…………
That afternoon, people from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology came to Fanfou to verify the situation. In view of Fanfou's good attitude in admitting its mistakes and actively proposing improvement plans, Fanfou resumed normal operations less than six hours and forty-two minutes after being banned.
Mr. Wang, the founder of Fanfou, posted a pinned announcement on the homepage, saying that he would continue to firmly uphold freedom of speech and strive to make Fanfou a pure land on the Internet, but he also hoped that everyone would not make overly radical remarks so as to avoid completely destroying everyone's home.
Many opinion leaders on Fanfou left messages under the announcement, most of them expressing their support for Wang Xing and Fanfou, while some took the opportunity to express sarcasm and lamented that "China is so big, but it can accommodate a few gentlemen who speak out for justice."
In short, this short storm came and went quickly, and did not affect the development and growth of Fanfou. Instead, it attracted more dissidents.
The name Xu Kun is still a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats him on Fanfou, as if he is a combination of Xiao and Ji Ge from Bilibili in the future. New jokes mocking him are produced every day.
Time just passed day by day, as if nothing had changed.
In the blink of an eye, April 3th came.
Because "Founding of a Republic" had officially started filming two days ago, Jiang Yiyan also returned to Shanghai to continue filming the movie version of "Go Lala's Promotion".
So recently Zhao Liying has simply taken over Xu Kun's job and has been surfing the Internet intensively on Xu Kun's top-of-the-line computer every day - before the official broadcast of "Home Sweet Home", she is not planning to take on any other roles for the time being, so she has plenty of free time.
This evening.
Zhao Liying was using her Sina blog's secondary account to engage in a passionate exchange of words with a certain 'Kunhei' in the comment section when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring outside.
She added the last emoticon and then ran to the entrance to look at the peephole in confusion.
"Ms. Ou?"
Zhao Liying opened the door in surprise and asked curiously, "Aren't you filming? How come you have time to come here today?"
"Don't mention it, I had a falling out with the crew!"
Wang Ou squeezed in with his bags and said half-jokingly, "It was okay to be taken advantage of before, but now that I'm with Brother Kun, I must remain a virgin for him."
EMMM~
Zhao Liying didn't know how to comment. Seeing the bags of mutton meatballs filled with various hot pot dishes, she said happily, "Hot pot tonight? That's great. I've been making do with noodles these past few days."
"Then it's a good opportunity for us to have a feast together."
Wang Ou took off his coat, revealing his beautiful curves, and then rolled up his sleeves and said, "Boil a pot of water and put the base ingredients in. I'll pick and wash the vegetables for us."
"Okay~"
Zhao Liying also followed her example and rolled up her sleeves. The two of them entered the kitchen one after the other. Wang Ou occupied the sink and cutting board, while Zhao Liying began to rummage through the drawers for the rice cooker.
"Hey~"
While washing vegetables, Wang Ou curiously asked, "What have you been doing at Brother Kun's house these days?"
"Nothing much, just eating, drinking and surfing the Internet every day, and then doing some basic homework, practicing my body shape and acting skills. Before you came over, I was arguing with someone online."
Wang Ou was not surprised that she was arguing with others. After all, the sarcastic comments against Xu Kun on the Internet were so intense that even she couldn't help but want to say a few words back.
She asked casually, "Where did you quarrel with someone? Was it that Fanfou?" "How is that possible?!"
Zhao Liying tiptoed to take out the rice cooker from the cupboard above her head, and then said contemptuously: "The official Fanfou is taking sides. Those who are slandering Brother Kun can say whatever they want, but if you use dirty words when arguing with others, you will either be banned or your account will be blocked.
In the end, you can only watch those good-for-nothings line up to mock you - I went there a few times, and I was so angry every time. I really don't understand, what's wrong with Kun making a movie to praise the country? It's as if we have an irreconcilable hatred with them. "
As she spoke, she carried the rice cooker and extension cord to the restaurant outside.
“In fact, many of them are due to hatred of the rich.”
Wang Ou turned around and said to the outside, "I heard that the number of registered users of Fanfou exceeded one million a few days ago."
"lets change a topic!"
Zhao Liying plugged in the pot and used the electric kettle as a ladle to pour water into it. At the same time, she kept talking: "I asked you to choose a few things in advance and put them in the shopping cart. Have you chosen them?"
"I've only chosen two. Please help me with some advice tonight. Although the items on are authentic, they have much fewer varieties than those on Taobao."
"Oh, there will definitely be more and more in the future."
Zhao Liying filled the pot with water and turned on the rice cooker. Then she hugged Wang Ou's slender waist from behind and said with a smile, "Brother Kun is the chief planner of this JD 315 Shopping Festival. He usually supports us. This time, it's our turn to support him."
When talking about the word "tall", Zhao Liying arched her back mischievously.
"Oh, what are you doing? My clothes are all wet!"
Wang Ou frantically held onto the edge of the sink and said unhappily, "Why are you flirting with me? If you really want it, just visit the crew."
"I wouldn't dare. They are all big names over there!"
Zhao Liying said, and then laughed: "Besides, aren't we sisters of Shaoji? If I don't go after you, who else can I go after?"
The two of them chatted and laughed, played and joked, and after eating hot pot they took a shower together before sitting down at the computer desk.
Zhao Liying did not rush to open , but first went to several portal websites and major forums. After reading them, she could not help but sigh: "Compared with last year's Double Eleven Shopping Festival, this Shopping Festival seems to be much less popular."
"There's nothing we can do. After all, isn't as famous as Taobao. I heard that if Brother Kun hadn't invested more than 100 million, it would have almost gone bankrupt."
"Then let's buy a few more, just as a way of supporting Brother Kun."
"You decide."
Wang Ou said yes, but in fact he didn't care about this shopping festival at all. Didn't you see that Brother Kun has been on the set and hasn't returned to Beijing? It shows that Brother Kun himself didn't expect this shopping festival to shine.
In the early morning, the two of them spent a total of 13,000 yuan, which was considered a strong support. After all, they were not famous yet and did not have many means of cashing in.
Because she went to bed late, Zhao Liying woke up at 9 o'clock in the morning. She came out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes and saw Wang Ou watching TV. She asked, "Sister Ou, did you eat breakfast?"
"I made some frozen dumplings. Do you want some?"
"Cook me ten... No, eight will be enough."
As Zhao Liying was talking, she did not go to the bathroom to wash up, but went into the study room yawning. After turning on the computer, she took a look at the QQ group of "Nantianmen" as usual.
The group is much more lively now. Artists signed with Nantianmen such as Liu Tao, Zhang Jin, Yang Junyi, Wei Daxun and Zhang Boyu have also been added to the group.
As a result, when she opened the group, she found that there were hundreds of messages in the group. Zhao Liying quickly scrolled up and found that everyone seemed to be discussing topics such as "315 Shopping Festival, Fanfou, BUG, and making million yuan".
She quickly found Liu Tao and asked what had happened.
As a result, Liu Tao called directly and said, "You don't know yet? There is a low-price bug in the JD Shopping Festival! It was discovered by Fanfou first, and then someone jumped out and called on everyone to take advantage of , saying that they wanted to take 100 million yuan from Tu Kunge!"
"what?!"
The only thought in Zhao Liying’s mind was: Did I make a loss yesterday?
No, no, now is not the time to focus on this.
"What did say?"
"Jingdong seems to have run into trouble. The bug cannot be fixed for the time being - after all, it is a small company, much smaller than Taobao..."
Liu Tao was halfway through his speech when he remembered that Xu Kun was already a major shareholder of , so he quickly stopped talking and changed the subject, "It's all over the internet now. Not only are people on Fanfou doing this, but people on other major websites are also posting tutorials on how to do this. Can you contact Brother Kun or Sister Yi Yan? I can't get through to them no matter how hard I try!"
Zhao Liying hurriedly called Xu Kun, but his phone was turned off. She then tried to contact Jiang Yiyan through Jiang Xin, but Jiang Xin's phone was also turned off.
I guess it's being filmed.
Zhao Liying was so anxious that she couldn't sit still. She searched on the computer and found that the matter had indeed become a hot search on Baidu, and there was a tutorial on how to get the free stuff on the first page.
Zhao Liying clicked on it and did a simple calculation. It was indeed much cheaper than what she bought yesterday. Now she was even more anxious. Could it be that Brother Kun's 100 million investment was really squandered? !
