Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 297 You call this a female star?

The leaders are eagerly waiting, so how could Boss Lu not take advantage of the opportunity to make some money?

The military and civilians work together to create a better future, and another unicorn prototype is about to be born.

The young director gestured to Lin Ying, "Teacher Lin, please switch to another CG animation and show everyone the specific process first."

In the simulated Olympic venue, a bird's nest-shaped ignition stand with a strong cultural atmosphere was built.

The picture shows that the key parts of the ignition platform are mainly made of high-temperature resistant nickel-based alloy, and the rest of the base and frame are mostly stainless steel.

"Is this... a drone?"

"Yes."

Leader Liu was the first to recognize the phoenix parts in the animated CG that were ready to go. Under the lighting and special effects technology, a lifelike image of a phoenix gradually took shape.

The body of the phoenix is ​​composed of multiple drones, and its wings, tail and other parts are cleverly arranged and combined with lights to create a lively effect. The main colors are gold and red, symbolizing auspiciousness, prosperity and vitality, which are in line with the spirit of the Olympic Games.

As the Olympic Games opening ceremony entered the countdown stage, the atmosphere on site gradually heated up.

When the countdown reached zero, all the lights in the stadium went out, and only the Bird's Nest ignition stand in the center of the stadium emitted a faint light.

At this time, passionate music came from the radio, kicking off the lighting ceremony.

In order to make it more realistic, Boss Lu specially asked the special effects artist of Butian Film to simulate the sound of the audience cheering, just to make the leaders unable to stop using this plan.

Only when you have a need can you make a request.

Drones quickly took off from all corners of the stadium and assembled in the air.

According to the preset formation procedure, they quickly formed a beautiful phoenix shape, with their eyes shining brightly and their wings slowly spread out, as if accumulating strength.

The flashing parts are all LED light strips, which are important tools for Phoenix modeling art processing.

With a clear bird song, the phoenix began to slowly rise into the air, circling around the stadium and interacting with the audience.

Then came the handover between the torchbearer and the phoenix. The phoenix flew with the flame in its mouth, circled over the torch tower for a few seconds, then slowly descended and gradually retracted its body.

There was another clear cry, not sure whether it was from a young or old phoenix. The phoenix formation flew over the half-open steel roof of the bird's nest and disappeared into the night, leaving only the blazing sacred fire burning.

The Wenjie team is the seventh plan today, and the teams ahead of Boss Lu are also very strong.

Especially the foreign monk - France's ECA2.

They were the team behind the Eiffel Tower's Millennium Fireworks display, and also worked on the opening ceremony of the 1998 World Cup in France and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Athens Paralympic Games.

The proposals from other teams such as Gehua and Chen Kaige seem to be not as good as Wenjie's.

The cultural creativity is almost the same, they are nothing more than the Four Great Inventions, Bronze Ware, Tai Chi, Silk Road, etc., but there are differences in the emphasis and order of explanation.

That's why Jiang Xiaoyu asked the question just now.

But it was almost over, and this young director came up with such a magical return of the phoenix to the nest, which was simply amazing.

Leader Liu couldn't help but think of the poem "Hearing the Government Troops Retaking Henan and Hebei" by the poet Du Fu that morning.

He felt that this would be an oddly fitting background sound for this ignition plan: "Lu Kuan, the technical issues you just mentioned..."

Boss Lu looked at his watch and realized that the animation had completely stunned everyone present. He thought it would be better to whet their appetite first and then communicate with them privately later.

There are so many people and so many gossips. Only Leader Liu has the power to report this matter step by step to ask for technical support. There is no need to explain it in detail in front of so many people.

"I will report to you all later on the key technical aspects of the performance I just mentioned. Now, please allow Ms. Lin Ying to present the technical plan for the aforementioned scheme."

Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhang Heping both seemed to be hesitant to speak, but when they saw Leader Liu smile and nod, they stopped talking.

It was Lin Ying's turn to speak at the main event. This internationally renowned female architect introduced from beginning to end the hydraulic technology used in raising and lowering the Tai Chi stage, the spherical screen control used in the bronze ware program, and the wire ropeway suspending and track design used in the acrobatic performance.

The alarm set by the staff rang on time. Lin Ying exceeded the time limit by about twenty seconds and finished her report.

There was silence in the venue for a few seconds, and then, led by Leader Liu, warm applause broke out.

Lu Kuan and Lin Ying both stood up with laughter and bowed slightly in thanks.

Leader Liu obviously gave special courtesy to this plan and its creators, and walked over to shake hands with them solemnly.

"The fact that you were able to produce such a high-quality work in such a short period of time only shows that you have done a very thorough and detailed job."

"Comrade Lu Kuan, Ms. Lin Ying, on behalf of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, I would like to express my gratitude for your hard work over the past few months!"

Boss Lu said solemnly: "The country and the nation are the cultural soil on which artists depend for their survival. Leader, this is what we should do. I dare not express my gratitude."

"Xiaolu, I still have a few plans to report. Please wait for me in the living room next door. We can talk privately after we finish."

The young director nodded, and he and Lin Ying packed up their materials and went out.

"Phew! It's finally over!"

Lin Ying smiled and extended her hand to Boss Lu: "It's a pleasure to work with you, talented director!"

“A pleasure to work with, a talented architect!”

"Hahahahaha!"

The two men passed the armed police on duty, had their IDs verified, and walked out of the conference center.

Lin Ying took out her phone and checked the time: "When is the second report?"

"The IOC will need at least a month to organize an expert review. The video we just reported will be taken out and studied repeatedly."

"Okay, then I have to go back to the United States first. Please let me know when the specific date is."

Boss Lu saw that she seemed a little anxious: "So anxious? I was thinking of having a meal with the team tomorrow, at the courtyard."

"Tomorrow is definitely not an option. I have a 10pm flight tonight to attend an academic conference in Chicago."

"Chicago?"

Lin Yingqi asked, "Yes, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat International Conference. What's going on?"

"It's okay. I'll let Ah Fei take you back first. I'll wait here for Leader Liu."

"it is good."

The security level and service environment of Kuangou Conference Center are excellent. The hungry Boss Lu wolfed down some cakes in the side hall and took a nap on the sofa.

7 pm.

"Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu?"

Leader Liu's secretary, Xiao Wang, gently woke him up and said with a polite smile, "The secretary is waiting for you in the restaurant. Let's have a working meal together."

Of course, secretaries are rigorous in what they say and do, and they always address their leaders by their highest title.

In fact, this person's status is indeed extraordinary, and he has been very successful after the Olympics. It is a good move for Boss Lu to make friends with him.

"The road is wide. Come and have a meal. You must be hungry."

Although Boss Lu was respectful, he acted casually: "It's okay. I just had some cakes next door."

"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I asked Xiao Wang to wake you up later. Have you been too busy with work recently?"

"Yes, Aftershock will be released in December. I'm currently busy finishing the final post-production and contacting overseas film distributors. We want to release this film."

The working meal of four dishes and one soup was refreshing and simple, and the two chatted while eating.

Boss Lu was extremely hungry, and his bowl of rice quickly finished. He looked a little nervous and said, "Boss, can I get some more? Can I get some for you too?"

"Haha, go ahead, go ahead. I'm lucky enough to finish this bowl of rice."

Leader Liu, who was in his prime, looked at Lu Kuan with admiration as he acted casually and naturally, and thought of the investigation into his information after the Zhou Jun incident.

The movie "Tangshan Earthquake", a massacre movie registered by the Film Bureau two years ago, has been published in response to the charity efforts made by the media this year.

Including his speeches and statements at various film festivals, academic conferences, and film forums while he was overseas.

In addition to promoting national culture, they also sing praises for the motherland and never use ugly things or expose shortcomings as a gimmick to please the West.

It is rare for a director and artist like him who has achieved certain achievements and has a certain international reputation to maintain such a childlike heart.

In fact, can’t Leader Liu see the suspicious points in Zhou Jun’s leak of information?

It was just that, compared to parasites like Zhou Jun, he appreciated young talents like Lu Kuan who were both virtuous and talented.

Logically, he would never allow any unstable factors to exist in the Olympic cause that he presided over.

Leader Liu had no hesitation in choosing between Lu and Zhou, as they were able to come up with such a plan that even a non-professional like him was amazed and felt regretful.

The views are similar to those of Zou Wenhuai, Han Shanping, Zhang Huijun and others.

Those who really get things done will always be recognized by those who do them.

Conspiracies and intrigues are techniques, and the great trend is the way.

Boss Lu returned with a full bowl of rice. The leader across from him joked, "It seems like today's work meal allowance isn't enough. How about asking the chef to cook two more dishes?"

"Enough, enough, I'm almost done with this bowl."

Leader Liu put down his conversation and started talking to him about business: "Lu Kuan, tell me more about the technical support you just mentioned."

Although today is only the first day of the presentation, to be fair, apart from the countdown and the cultural performance, this Phoenix Returns to the Nest ignition method is truly unique.

In his opinion, if no one else's ignition plan tomorrow is amazing, this Phoenix Returning Home will be the highlight of the Olympics he presides over.

"Well, there are three main technical challenges to overcome in order to see whether drones can achieve the ignition scenario and process demonstrated today."

Lu Kuan recounted the situation of the teacher-student pair he brought back from Hong Kong, and put forward new requirements based on Wang Tao's recent research results.

Leader Liu was very cautious and asked his secretary Xiao Wang to take notes.

"Now the main technical challenges are in signal transmission and integrated chips for drones."

Boss Lu didn't quite understand this either, so he just brought up the issues he had discussed with Wang Tao before, and didn't forget to beg precisely:

"Leader, our technical team already has a clear research direction, but considering the actual results in three years, we still want to seek support from a national laboratory."

The young director tentatively asked, "Leader, the university with the deepest technological barriers in China right now is Northwestern Polytechnical University. They have a National Defense Science and Technology Key Laboratory for UAV Special Technology. I wonder..."

As early as 1958, Northwestern Polytechnical University successfully tested my country's first unmanned aerial vehicle system and is in a leading position in China in the research of key technologies such as aerodynamic layout, flight control, and navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles.

Leader Liu's face was serious: "This involves weapons and equipment, it's not that easy, right?"

"Then we can go to the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Design Institute of Beihang University, or the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which also has a related laboratory. We are not picky!"

"Hey! You kid!"

Leader Liu was drinking tea and was amused by his pretending to be smart.

Boss Lu was clearly prepared. "Boss, I've studied this carefully. In June of this year, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense issued a 'Weapons and Equipment Regulations.'"

"But the specific qualification requirements and entry thresholds still need to be coordinated with internal personnel to facilitate it."

On June 2005, 6, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense promulgated the "Implementation Measures for the Scientific Research and Production License of Weapons and Equipment", marking the beginning of the legalization and standardization of my country's "civilian technology for military use".

This policy document happens to contain the policy dividends that the world-class DJI urgently needs:

The Measures stipulate that the field of national defense science and technology industry will be open to the public, and some qualified non-publicly owned enterprises can officially enter the field of national defense science and technology industry by the end of 2005.

Leader Liu said sternly, "Since you are a qualified enterprise, why don't you go directly to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and submit an application according to the procedures?"

"Boss, aren't you trying to speed things up? Who knows how many people are lining up over there."

"Another thing is that our drone technology is still relatively under-researched and under-application nationwide, so we would like to collaborate with the professional laboratories of Northwestern Polytechnical University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Beihang University."

Leader Liu pondered for two seconds and instructed his secretary, "Please help me make an appointment with Director Zhang from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense tomorrow."

"Leader! Thank you!"

Boss Lu has no psychological burden of flattering others. A greeting or a word from a leader of his level is enough for him to run around aimlessly for half a year.

This is not something that can be achieved by being a rich man or a famous director.

Different fields are like different worlds, let alone an official unit involving confidential information.

Of course, if Leader Liu can truly contribute to the advancement of this drone technology and the integration of military and civilian sectors, he may also receive additional rewards.

For example, gaining more recognition in the preparations for the Olympic Games.

Or if the drone, which achieved a technological breakthrough earlier than in the previous life, could play a significant role in the earthquake three years later, this would become his achievement.

The further he goes, the better it will be for Boss Lu.

If a time traveler uses his butterfly wings to fan a wild flower or a wild grass on the roadside, it may not change anything.

But even a small impact on a person of this level can bring about huge changes.
-
At 8 o'clock in the evening of Beijing time, Boss Lu, who had gained a lot, returned to the courtyard in a good mood to rest.

On the other side of the world, a beautiful graduate student in Chicago just woke up.

In fact, it is only six o'clock in the morning, but Liu Yifei has made it difficult to sleep as she has almost developed this habit over the past three or four years, so it is better for her to get up and exercise.

The mother and daughter have moved to a large house in Hyde Park, which is less than a quarter of an hour's walk from the University of Chicago campus and very convenient.

Xiao Liu was wearing sportswear and wanted to run a few laps in the park when he suddenly saw the female bodyguard who had just checked in yesterday stretching in the yard.

"Mia, can I practice with you for a while?"

The female bodyguard curled her lips, rather resistant to her employer's request beyond her job responsibilities: "Crystal, I think you should do yoga like Aniston or Halle Berry."

"That's a characteristic of your Oriental side, isn't it?"

Xiao Liu smiled and said nothing, but just moved his whole body according to Grotowski's movements to relax the muscles that had been dormant all night.

Mia certainly didn't think that this delicate little oriental girl could keep up with her exercise pace, even the warm-up.

She was originally a member of SEAL Team 1998 and after retiring was hired by Blackwater, which was established in .

Blackwater is currently the world's largest security consulting company, mainly providing professional bodyguards for politicians, facility defense and other services, and also providing security services for wealthy people.

Mia, who earns a good daily salary, didn't expect that her employer only asked her to protect a little girl from the East who came to study, and of course, she also acted as an actress.

As it stands, it's a job with almost no challenges.

Concubine Liu Yi was unfazed by her arrogance: "I see you've brought protective gear. Can you practice boxing with me?"

Mia was surprised: "You know boxing?"

It seems that this eager little oriental beauty wants to test her expertise?

Xiao Liu roughly assumed the starting posture of Bajiquan.

"I'm going to Canada next week to join the crew of an action movie, so I need to practice in advance."

"Well, this job is finally a little difficult." Mia raised her eyebrows, and naturally did not take her fancy moves seriously.

Liu Yifei stood with her feet slightly apart, shoulder-width apart, her hands hanging naturally with her palms facing inward, took a step forward with her left foot, and rushed out with her right fist!

Mia felt the little girl's unexpected explosive power in advance, and her right hand that received the punch slightly tensed up, followed by a dull "pop" sound from the protective gear.

“Chinese Kung Fu?”

An expert can tell whether it is effective or not with just one move. The muffled sound coming from the armor has a certain meaning.

Mia has received comprehensive and systematic combat training both in the army and in a security company.

This muffled boxing feedback means that the boxer's force chain is very smooth and has strong penetration, which can cause a greater impact on the target tissue.

For ordinary people and amateurs, if they punch with all their strength at this speed, they should hear a sharp and crisp sound.

"Is it okay?"

Liu Yifei learned this move from Yuan Heping when filming "Alien Land". Although she did not learn it systematically, she had some knowledge of the force generation methods and core essentials.

After that, she practiced it every day. It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that she is proficient in Bajiquan, but she can perform the ordinary opening punch, sticking punch and other moves decently.

Coupled with the strong muscle control acquired from performance training, this punch just now was able to deliver such explosive power that even Mia was surprised.

"Interesting. Come on, continue."

Mia didn't mind having an employer who knew a little bit of fighting skills, at least it was much better than being completely powerless.

She became a little more serious and actively responded to Liu Yifei's punches while wearing protective gear. She started with tentative counterattacks and gradually increased her strength.

"Hey! Ha!"

In Hyde Park, next to the University of Chicago, the capital of Illinois, America, the relationship between a little oriental beauty and a tough female health worker is getting more and more intense!
Mia dodged a straight punch and elbowed out as usual.

She was about to pull it back abruptly, but unexpectedly, Liu Yifei quickly approached, bent her body like a bow, and suddenly used her back and shoulders as fulcrums to slam into her.

"Are you okay? I lost my strength."

Xiao Liu stuck out his tongue and reached out to Mia, who was knocked down by his iron back.

Mia sat on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, she had just held back in order to protect her employer, otherwise she would not have been at a disadvantage.

But even so, this kind of striking force and explosive power does not seem like something an ordinary actress should have.

"Crystal, do you Chinese girls all learn Kung Fu?"

Mia smiled and patted the dust off her body: "I also heard that your students will receive military education from the age of fourteen or fifteen." "That's military training, not formal military education. I also learned martial arts for filming." Xiao Liu covered his mouth and laughed.

Xiao Liu explained seriously: "Mia, can you teach me your boxing and fighting techniques?"

Mia had no idea why her young employer was so interested in boxing.

Damn, don’t those Hollywood actresses research every day where to get breast augmentation, injections, or ovarian maintenance?

"Ordinary fighting routines are fine, but they are too lethal and inconvenient."

"Sure, I just wanted to get some exercise."

Liu Yifei wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I've been taking actor training courses for more than three years. I'm not used to it being interrupted so suddenly. I have to find something else to do instead."

Mia nodded, simplified the fighting tutorial she had learned in the Poster Commandos, and immediately started practicing with her employer, panting.

The morning temperature in Chicago in October is around 10 degrees Celsius, the air is humid and the breeze is gentle.

Liu Yifei performed her exercises with all her strength without any worries, and she was not worried about hurting the professional bodyguards who were training with her. Unfortunately, she was stopped by her mother before seven o'clock.

"It's time for breakfast, Sissi, come join us Mia."

"Oh, thank you ma'am, may I have the pleasure of trying your Chinese breakfast?"

Xiao Liu said sarcastically: "My mother used to be a dancer. Believe me, you won't be very interested in her cooking skills."

"Ha ha!"

The three of them walked into the house smiling, and Zhang Chunru had just set the table.

She is now semi-unemployed, and her main task is to serve as a consultant to the Holocaust film crew and Lu Kuan.

After that, she has another goal, which is to promote communication and understanding between Chinese and American cultures.

She wants to continue to introduce China's history, culture and social status quo to the American people through her works and activities, and enhance mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples.

This was recorded in her posthumous manuscripts.

If cultural exchanges and identification can be enhanced, it will be of great benefit to Western people in facing and becoming familiar with this history.

It's a simple truth that people cannot have the same empathy for strangers and friends.

The four of them sat at the dining table and had a very regular American breakfast, including omelets, waffles, oatmeal, etc.

Liu Xiaoli said awkwardly: "I'm sorry Mia, we just moved in and we haven't prepared enough today. I'll treat you to an authentic Chinese breakfast in two days."

"Mom, I'll write you a list of ingredients. When you're free, go to Xiangjiang Supermarket in Chinatown and buy them. I'll cook it."

Zhang Chunru knew a little about Concubine Liu Yi's hobbies, but Mia was shocked again.

What kind of star is this?
He is a boxer and a good cook, and he is also studying business at Booth. Every day after school, he doesn't go to parties, but goes home to read and walk the dog.

Apart from acting, she seems to do everything.

in the country, Xiao Liu now has a nickname on the Internet, called the domestic entertainment mudslide.

Now "hanging around in North America", in the eyes of Mia, who has worked as a bodyguard for many Hollywood actresses, she is like a white jasmine among a bunch of poppies.

It is in stark contrast to a bunch of slutty bitches.

For example, Lindsay Lohan, known as the "American Liu Yifei", is one year older than Liu Yifei. She became a Hollywood A-lister after starring in "The Perfect Match" at the age of 12 and "Mean Girls".

But after becoming famous at a young age, he indulged in pleasure, including pornography, gambling and studying.

She dated over 30 Hollywood male stars, had a lesbian relationship with Paris Hilton, had a habit of stealing, and was in rehab multiple times for drug and alcohol abuse...

Mia was in a trance when Xiao Liu patted her shoulder and said, "I'll make you a Chinese dish tomorrow, fish noodle soup!"

"Xixi can also make fish soup noodles?" Zhang Chunru asked in surprise.

She is from Jiangsu Province and returned to the mainland in the 90s to visit survivors and taste this local specialty.

"I know a lot more, I'll make them for you guys when I have time!"

Liu Xiaoli just smiled at her daughter, feeling relieved that she had changed her environment and regained the lively and cheerful nature of a 17 or 18-year-old girl.

But no matter how she looks at life and work, she can't seem to get around that knot in her heart, and can't get rid of that man's shadow.

Didn’t I learn how to make fish soup noodles from Master Qiao in the Ice Cellar Palace?
No matter what the final result is, I hope she can reconcile with herself.
-
Hyde Park where Xiao Liu lives is very beautiful. She is walking with her bag on the way from her school district house to Booth School of Business.

The trees on both sides of the street are like a palette overturned by nature, with maple leaves fiery red and ginkgo leaves golden yellow.

She thought that since she came back early today, she could set up an easel here and satisfy her creative desire a little.

"Hi, Crystal."

“Nice day!”

Along the way, she met neighbors she had just met recently. She and her mother Liu Xiaoli visited everyone and gave them Chinese specialties such as tea.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Sunny! Calm down!"

Xiao Liu watched with amusement as Uncle Ao pulled the dog leash. The Portuguese Water Dog, with bangs covering its eyes, tried desperately to break free from his restraints.

"Good morning, Uncle Ao."

"Oh, Crystal, you're always so popular with the little animals. I'm jealous of that."

Liu Yifei spread her hands in a very American way: "Mr. Congressman, you are always so popular with the people. This is also your advantage."

The black uncle couldn't help but smile and felt quite fond of the Chinese girl who had just moved in.

"Crystal, I'm moving soon. It's a shame I can't be your neighbor for much longer."

"I'm going to miss your authentic Chinese food."

After graduating in 90, Uncle Obama worked in a law firm in downtown Chicago. He entered politics in 96 by running for the Illinois Senate.

He was elected to the U.S. Senate last year, so he resigned from his position as a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School and prepared to devote himself to his American dream.

If history does not change, this old house in Hyde Park will become the former residence of a celebrity in the near future.

Xiao Liu said with youthful sincerity: "I also like Mrs. Michelle's oatmeal raisin cookies and pumpkin pie."

"You're welcome to come back for a meal before you leave. Perhaps you can discuss your work with Iris about the University of Chicago Poetry Society."

Uncle Ao grinned, "Okay, Crystal, see you later!"

The two chatted for a few minutes and then left, which was no different from community greetings in Western cultural contexts.

But if Boss Lu were to peek from under a ginkgo tree with its leaves falling, his pupils might tremble.

He worked hard to make friends with important figures in the country, while Xiao Liu on the other side of the ocean had already met the Black Dragon who was watching the sea and listening to the waves.

Liu Yifei walked into the classroom with familiarity, took out a book and started flipping through it. Today was Xi Kaiyuan's course on effective leadership and development.

People came into the classroom one after another. There were only eleven students in Xi Kaiyuan's group. After a few classes, everyone became almost familiar with each other.

Besides getting a degree, the biggest goal of graduate students here is to build connections.

At a university of the level of the University of Chicago, it is not only important to build connections with classmates, but also with instructors.

When McKinsey taught at the University of Chicago in the 30s, most of his graduates joined his own consulting firms, and his teaching was equivalent to pre-job training.

Here, any of your business teachers may become the future Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of the American Institute of Economics, or a Nobel Prize winner.

"Crystal, isn't your female bodyguard here today?"

Liu Yifei glanced indifferently at the white man with a frivolous tone, without any interest in paying any attention to him.

The person who approached me was Gibson, who worked at JPMorgan Chase, engaged in liquidity solutions, and also received his undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago.

He was also a part-time stockbroker who profited by selling so-called insider information.

This guy is also a guy who calls himself the Wolf of Wall Street. He is very interested in the fair and tender Chinese girl in front of him.

Unfortunately it is one-sided.

The white Jewish man didn't have a particularly privileged family background. Ever since he tried to pat her shoulder from behind last time and was caught by the tough female bodyguard, his words and actions have been a little restrained.

But it is still common to see such pick-ups as today.

"Hey, Crystal, I left a message on your YouTube channel. If you have time, maybe you can follow me back."

"I often post photos of myself working out in the gym, and you can see that I have stronger muscles than any other Asian male."

"Or perhaps there are some things I've learned from my uncle the banker that might interest you?"

"By the way, what will your next video be about? I admit that I want to learn more about your country's culture..."

Noisy, noisy, and noisy.

Xiao Liu really wanted to kick this shameless white man in the heart, but according to legal expert Uncle Ao, this would result in a prison sentence of less than one year in the United States.

"Would you please shut up for a moment? Perhaps you can save your long speeches for flattering your instructor."

Gibson shrugged it off: "Oh! Okay, then can I sit next to you?"

Liu Yifei picked up the coffee at hand and spilled it on the chair next to her. She looked at him coldly and stopped talking.

At this moment, most of the students were present, and the situation was a little awkward.

Xi Kaiyuan walked into the room wearing his same windbreaker that he always wore. Looking at everyone's state, he knew what had happened. After all, it was not the first time.

"Gibson, stop harassing our Miss Blue Moon, or you'll become her villain in 'Alien Land 2' and suffer the punishment of Eastern Kung Fu."

Hahahaha!

The classroom erupted in laughter. Xi Kaiyuan pointed to the seat next to him to help Liu Yifei out: "Crystal, come sit here. Our topic today is related to you."

"I?"

Xiao Liu was confused for half a second, then stood up. It was always nice to be away from this noisy fly.

Xi Kaiyuan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, ladies and gentlemen, in this class we will continue to elaborate on and study effective leadership and development."

"Still using business practice as an example, today I will discuss..."

He turned and wrote a few key words on the blackboard.

Mytube’s business development and operational difficulties.

Concubine Liu Yi's eyes lit up!
"Everyone knows that our Blue Moon is one of the most popular MT websites in North America and even the world, with over a million followers."

"However, due to well-known issues such as copyright and censorship, there have been many reports on the internet that MT is seeking to be sold."

Xi Kaiyuan leaned leisurely against his desk, looking like an American professor. "Merlin, tell me what you've seen. Which companies are interested in Mytube?"

Merlin is a management consultant for a hedge fund on Wall Street. He also owns several products in the pharmaceutical and Internet sectors. He is naturally no stranger to the recent chaos in the video industry.

"The companies currently rumored to be involved with Mytube are mainly Google, News Corporation, AOL, Yahoo, Viacom, and most recently Microsoft."

"But the only companies that actually made offers were Google, News Corp and Yahoo, which offered US$18 billion, US$15 billion and US$13 billion respectively."

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows as she listened in the audience.

This bastard is going to make so much money again, I don’t know who will fall into the trap this time.

The heartbroken girl, who is still in the state of "recovering from a broken heart", now has some torn feelings towards someone.

Occasionally, when I think of his shining points, such as his efforts in Holocaust films, I feel like I might as well miss him a little.

But most of the time, when she remembered the night that broke her heart, she would curse with great resentment to vent her anger.

Or give the newly adopted dog two light slaps on the head.

That's a substitute.

Xi Kaiyuan nodded with satisfaction. Almost all the people present were elites from the business, political and academic circles, which made his teaching very smooth.

"One of the most important aspects of entrepreneurial leadership is that leaders need to collect and analyze large amounts of information in a complex market environment, identify potential opportunities and threats, and then make decisive decisions."

"Today we will analyze this issue from several aspects."

Xi Kaiyuan's teaching style is relatively Westernized, but his blackboard writing is as rigorous as that of a Chinese scholar: "First, we study the development history of Mytube."

"This is no longer a secret among countless Wall Street analysts and internet professionals. Which student could explain it to us?"

Don't be like Bilian Gibson, like a peacock with its tail spread out, always wanting to flirt with the oriental beauty: "I suggest Lan Yue come and talk about it. She is a very popular blogger on MT and may have some inside information."

Everyone understands what Jebson means. The top content providers of major Internet products, including local blogs in the United States, almost all have cooperative relationships with companies. Otherwise, where would the traffic and publicity come from?

Especially considering Liu Yifei's identity as an actress, it is not surprising that her agency would be involved in such entertainment operations, which is part of the work of many Hollywood stars.

This time, Xi Kaiyuan didn't object: "Crystal, are you familiar with the management of Mytube?"

"Please share your thoughts on why Mytube has been able to stand out in the video market."

Xiao Liu stood up expressionlessly: "Not familiar, not familiar at all."

Then I started to share my views openly.

In a group discussion, everyone needs to expand their thinking in areas that they are good at and not good at.

"I'm a blogger on the Mytube platform. From my perspective as a content provider and viewer, I think its rise is mainly due to the following reasons."

"Firstly, it has an innovative platform positioning and functional design. It is an open video sharing platform similar to Flickr, where users can freely upload and share all kinds of videos, which greatly broadens the diversity of content and user engagement."

"Secondly, business leaders' keen insight into market trends and the widespread availability of broadband internet and digital cameras with video recording capabilities have made video sharing a key development direction for the future of the internet."

“There’s also user experience and community building…”

. . .

Xi Kaiyuan looked at this Chinese girl who had changed her career halfway with satisfaction. At first glance, she seemed rather immature, quite similar to many Hollywood stars he had seen who came here to gild their careers.

But in the past month, he has made great progress. His thinking is very coherent and he can usually see the logic behind the development of things. In this respect, he is even better than many older students present.

Little did he know that Liu Yifei had been "specially trained" by the boss of Mytube who was currently doing research.

After all, as someone who had witnessed someone's rise to prominence in just three or four years, Liu Yifei was actually no stranger to these business skills and topics.

When it comes to theory, Boss Lu knows nothing.

But I have been a boss for decades in my two lives, so I have some experience in practice.

For example, when Xi Kaiyuan talked about the leadership and personal charm of entrepreneurs, she could draw inspiration from Lu Kuan's handling of the issue between An Yugang and Gao Jun regarding the use of the cinema as a wedding venue;
We can get inspiration from how she and Lu Kuan persuaded Liu Qiangdong into falling into their trap at the dinner table that winter night.

Xi Kaiyuan talked about the role changes and interpersonal relationship management in business interactions. She can draw conclusions from Lu Kuan's experience of forming alliances with various roles such as Eagle King, China Film, Hunan TV, and Huayi.

Including the incident on the set of "Alien Land" that she personally experienced.

How the notorious Harvey Weinstein in Hollywood, the Jewish An Lushan who was famous for defrauding German and Chinese investors, was restrained and exploited to the extreme in his hands.

Faced with Disney's aggressive expansion, he instigated a rebellion against the core figure Harvey and used his feud with Eisner to stir up internal conflicts among his business rivals.

In the end, he retained the dominant position in "Alien Land" and also got a sum of money advanced by Disney for free. From then on, Harvey honestly became his wingman in Hollywood.

Even though she had some doubts about Lu Kuan's familiarity with certain information, his methods and ideas for doing things were there.

Practice is always more shocking than theory.

Xi Kaiyuan continued to guide the students in raising questions and reflection, raising the next question: "Should Mytube be sold?"

There are many different opinions on this topic, and there are students present who hold both pro and con points of view.

Of course, when it was Liu Yifei's turn to speak, this question was almost an open-book exam.

She stood up slowly, with a maturity and confidence beyond her age.

"The question of whether Mytube should be sold is really a question of corporate strategy and tactics."

"Is Mytube, this internet product, a future strategic direction for the company, or just a tactical tool?"

Xiao Liu was determined to give them a little shock from the great man of the East:

"There was a Chinese military strategist who once encountered this problem during a battle..."

"When questioned, he made a statement..."

"It's not me who is destroying the revolution, it's the revolutionary weapons that are destroying the revolution!"

"Similarly, if Mytube is just a tactical tool, then faced with the exorbitant copyright fees and increasingly stringent censorship situation, it should be sold without hesitation!"

Faced with such extreme dialectical thinking, all the foreigners in the audience were shocked into silence.
