Chapter 209 The Usefulness of Dark History, Morning Light Being Targeted

“Read Weibo.”

Zhang Chen didn't look up and continued to stare at the computer screen.

"Tell me, that song you sang at the Spring Festival Gala, was it for me?"

Liu Yifei walked around to the other side of the table with a smile, leaned down and supported her elbows on the table, held her cheeks with both hands, and looked at Zhang Chen with blinking eyes.

"No."

Zhang Chen didn't look up and continued looking at the computer screen.

If the answer is yes, the little girl will definitely be able to ascend to heaven.

This trend cannot continue.

"Do you like me?"

This question made Zhang Chen shudder: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

After hearing Zhang Chen's three consecutive denials, Liu Yifei curled her lips at first, thinking that she had never seen anyone so stubborn.

If the song on the Spring Festival Gala was not matched with the choreography behind it, she would not be sure.

But those actors clearly acted out their stories from childhood to adulthood, and they still want to make excuses.

She rolled her eyes, walked around to Zhang Chen, picked up a bunch of hair and scratched it towards Zhang Chen's nose, and said in a faint voice: "Are you afraid of being locked up?"

Zhang Chen turned around suddenly and looked at this lawless little girl: "Oh, I would be afraid?"

After saying this, he looked at the face that was so close to him and slowly turned his head back.

"Oh?" Liu Yifei raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Zhang Chen with a smile, "Then you should look at me."

Zhang Chen remained unmoved.

"Brother~ Don't you really like me?"

Liu Yifei suddenly blurted out a line that Zhang Chen was particularly familiar with, and the tone was extremely seductive.

Zhang Chen subconsciously said: "The Buddha said, the four elements are empty, this poor monk has no worldly thoughts?"

At the end of his speech, he himself was a little confused, and his tone became full of doubt.

Seeing Zhang Chen taking the bait, Liu Yifei raised her lips even more: "You said that everything is empty, but you kept your eyes closed. If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe that your eyes are empty."

Seeing that Zhang Chen was no longer cooperating, Liu Yifei had no choice but to act out the scene herself: "Brother, just agree to it~"

As he spoke, he climbed onto Zhang Chen's shoulders with both hands, his eyes fixed on Zhang Chen's profile.

This time Zhang Chen really closed his eyes, he was very angry.

This has all come back to haunt him, it's outrageous.

Without thinking about anything else, Zhang Chen grabbed Liu Yifei's hand on his shoulder, leaned over to make her face him, and pressed her on the table.

"If you continue like this, I can't guarantee that I can control myself, okay?"

"Oh? Why can't you control it?"

Liu Yifei was not afraid. She puffed out her chest as if to remind Zhang Chen.

The two men's faces were only a palm's length apart, and something began to change in their eyes as they stared at each other.

An ambiguous atmosphere flows between the two of them.

Just as Liu Yifei slowly began to close her eyes, she received a heavy blow on the forehead.

"Akane's treasure" - Bakuchi, late but it arrives.

"Where did you learn all this nonsense? Do you still see me as your brother?"

Zhang Chen stood up unhappily, thought for a moment, and then sat down again.

"Just lie to me. I know everything anyway."

She was a little scared just now. She had just agreed to the plan, and if she failed to brake in time, wouldn't her mother's efforts be in vain?

Fortunately, Zhang Chen is still the Zhang Chen she remembers.

He has always been good at destroying the atmosphere.

"Hehehe, are you waiting for August 05th, 8?"

Zhang Chen's silence doesn't mean Liu Yifei will stop interrogating him.

After her mother's reminder, Liu Yifei roughly understood what Zhang Chen was thinking.

It's just that you think you are too young?
She looked down at her chest and it was clearly a humph!
Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei, opened his mouth, and wanted to retort, "It's not enough."

But after thinking about it, he chose to keep quiet. He was not sure if the girl would get angry after he said this.

"So now I'm invincible, right?"

Liu Yifei put her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

She came to this conclusion after understanding the situation between the enemy and us.

She dares, but Zhang Chen doesn’t!
"According to our country's criminal law, if you are over 14 years old and consenting, it is not against the law. Do you understand?"

Zhang Chen looked at the complacent Liu Yifei speechlessly and said something that really ruined the atmosphere.

Liu Yifei understood, right? She knew Zhang Chen wouldn’t dare.

But to say that she doesn't understand is to say that she has never looked through these things.

He only had a vague understanding of Zhang Chen's thoughts and Liu Xiaoli's instructions.

This is what gives Zhang Chen a headache.

"Oh? Let's go!"

Liu Yifei would not be scared. She waved her hand and ordered Zhang Chen to stand up in a heroic manner.

"Nervous, stop it."

Zhang Chen always felt that their relationship had become strange.

This style of painting is completely different from his impression of all the men and women. It's too distorted.

"Scared?"

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid."

"Are you satisfied?"

"I accept."

"Call sister!"

Well, things are really getting more and more wrong. Zhang Chen was furious as he looked at Liu Yifei who was holding her little head high.

I can only use another magic weapon to fight against Qian.

He silently opened the music player, took out a song from the computer folder and put it into the player.

"Let's learn to meow together
Meow meow meow meow meow
Act like a baby in front of you

oops meow meow meow meow

"

The cheerful melody echoed throughout the living room through the speakers connected to Zhang Chen's computer.

"." Liu Yifei's whole body froze, as if she had been cast under a spell.

This thing
Wasn’t this recorded when she was ten years old?

This is the version performed in front of the family!
The unbearable past swept through her mind with a strong sense of shame. "How did you get this audio?"

Liu Yifei covered her blushing face with one hand and unplugged the audio cable on her laptop with the other, trying to make this dark history disappear through physical means.

"Do you want to hear more? I have more here."

Zhang Chen's words instantly broke Liu Yifei's defense: "Why do you keep these things?"

Her toes almost tore her slippers apart.

Zhang Chen actually has such a dark history?

"What are you keeping it for? You're saving it for situations like this one."

What's the point of keeping other people's dark history?

Of course, that is used to turn the tables.

If I didn't show some real stuff, I don't know where Liu Yifei would lead me today.

It is impossible to get Zhang Chen to admit that he likes Liu Yifei. He is famous for his stubbornness.

How could Liu Yifei have ever heard Zhang Chen say that he liked Liu Yifei? It was just a song, why make a fuss about it?

Liu Yifei wanted to force him to submit, but it would never be possible in this life!

The king of the world will never be a slave!
"You deleted it for me!"

"Don't delete it!"

"deleted!"

"Don't delete it!"

Therefore, it is very difficult for two people who grew up together to really change some habits.

The way the two of them were bickering now was just like a quarrel between elementary school students.

It was childish, but it also made the two of them feel at ease.

On February 2, Jay Chou appeared on the cover of Time Asia, nearly a month earlier than the original time and space.

The description on the cover reads: "He doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and doesn't shock the world. He just writes his own hits. Meet the new king of Asian pop, Jay Chou."

The reporter from Time used 7 pages to introduce this "weirdo" in detail, using such a "lengthy article" in an attempt to find out the real reason why Jay Chou is so popular.

On the same day, Zhang Chen also appeared on Time magazine, but his was the international edition.

The cover photo is a real shot of Zhang Chen's performance at the 2002 World Cup, and the other side is the cover photo of Zhang Chen's new album "Time Cooks Rain".

The description on the cover reads: "Stairs to God, from a 15-year-old boy to today's world pop king, it only took him 5 years to become a world superstar on par with Michael and Madonna, Leon Zhang, Zhang Chen."

The article introducing Zhang Chen is even longer, taking up a full 12 pages.

"Times" counted the honors Zhang Chen has won since his debut.

According to incomplete statistics, Zhang Chen has not participated in many music award ceremonies in the six years since his debut in 97, but he has won as many as 6 influential international and regional award trophies, including the Grammy Awards, totaling more than 21 trophies.

After the International Organization of the Phonographic Industry introduced the concept of "diamond record", that is, sales exceeding 1000 million copies, Zhang Chen has obtained 2 four-diamond record certifications, 2 three-diamond record certifications, and 1 two-diamond record certification. The total album sales have ranked fourth in the world.

In addition, there is Zhang Chen's business achievements. According to reporters, Zhang Chen is the actual controller of Morning Music. Since the company is not listed, financial report information is unknown, but reporters speculate that in just a few months last year, this company created nearly US$20 billion in value for Zhang Chen.

For this, the reporter of Time also regarded Zhang Chen as an Internet pioneer "with unique vision and advanced thinking".

At the same time, the reporter also learned about Zhang Chen's anti-piracy efforts in China. The magazine praised Zhang Chen's behavior of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of authors.

In general, on the day when Zhang Chen's new album was released, Time magazine used extremely exaggerated length and extremely high evaluation to introduce the path Zhang Chen had taken.

Zhang Chen also saw the report while William was flattering him.

“William, has anyone been contacting you recently?”

"Yes, Boss, how did you know?"

"Be careful and don't get cheated."

Zhang Chen reminded with a serious look.

Although the digital copyright has been transferred to China's Morning Glory Music, North America is where Morning Glory Music makes the most money.

Those blood-sucking leeches on Wall Street must have already set their sights on this Internet company that has demonstrated its terrifying ability to make money in a short period of time.

For Internet companies, one path they must take is to go public.

Without huge financial support, we will not be able to win the future copyright wars.

Although Zhang Chen now holds the exclusive digital copyrights of major record companies around the world, it is an old song.

If a well-funded Internet company emerges now and spends money like crazy to sign singers to seize the market of Morning Music, then if Morning Music does not have enough funds, decline will be the only outcome.

If the capitalists cannot get a piece of the pie, they will overturn the table. When most people have left, they will look for suitable people to cooperate with among those who remain.

Zhang Chen also knew that if one eats alone, he will not live long.

So we have to consider the key step, financing.

How to estimate the market value, how many players to attract to join the game, and how many shares to offer for them to subscribe, these are all things he needs to consider carefully.

The first thing is the listing of each subsidiary. Zhang Chen is not like other start-ups that need external funds to make a high valuation in order to achieve the goal of listing.

Moreover, he is fully capable of following the investment with his own funds, as long as his floating shares are diluted to a safe level on the surface, which can be accomplished through other companies controlled by overseas.

For example, in the Virgin Islands, it is difficult for outsiders to find out the shareholders behind a company registered here.

Chen Guang Music's overseas subsidiaries will certainly introduce local funds and list locally. This is inevitable. At least with the protection of the local tyrants, the company's development will be much smoother.

The parent company in China needs to be profitable for at least three years before it can meet the requirements for listing on the Hong Kong stock market. As for financing, Morning Light Music currently has a huge amount of funds and does not need to raise funds to achieve the purpose of listing.

Regarding this, Zhang Chen has already communicated with Du Zhining and decided to temporarily suppress the olive branches from some prominent companies and consider it again when the time is right.

In the country, no one dared to force him to give up his shares.

Thinking of some possibilities, Zhang Chen felt it necessary to make a trip to Zhejiang Province.

But during the Spring Festival Gala, because of Liu Yifei, I forgot to give the new album to my elders. How can I do this? I must go and pay my last respects to them.

Lin'an Prefecture, Zhejiang Province

Lin'an today does not yet have the potential to become the Internet capital of the future.

The entire city is still a city oriented towards tourism.

However, as the capital, its urbanization and economic development have shown signs of rapid development in recent years.

"You even went all the way from the capital to Lin'an just to give us this album?"

The elders looked at the dusty Zhang Chen with amusement. The weather in February was a bit cold. Zhang Chen suddenly came from the warm floor-heating room in the north to the damp and cold south. The biting "magic attack" made Zhang Chen shiver with cold.

"I've been busy lately, and I almost forgot that our company is going to build a factory in Zhejiang Province. Now that I'm back, I'd like to discuss this matter with you two."

"Oh? Isn't your company in the entertainment industry? Why do you want to build a factory?"

The elders also mentioned it at the beginning, but they didn’t expect Zhang Chen to actually have this idea.

But just as he said, Chenguang Entertainment is positioned in the entertainment industry. Even if it founded an Internet company, it has an inseparable relationship with the entertainment industry.

Building a factory sounds different from what Zhang Chen is currently doing.

"We have to do this step by step, and the factory I want to build is also related to the cultural and entertainment industry."

"tell me the story."

The elder nodded. He also didn't want Zhang Chen to go to Zhejiang Province to build a factory just for him, as this would go against his original intention.

　I will update one chapter of 4000 words today to ensure I am fully present. The other 6000 words will depend on the situation, as I have an appointment to go out in the evening. I hope I can finish writing it before I leave!
