Reborn in 2014, getting rich from the World Cup

"I've transferred Song Ruoxin to Huoduoduo. In a couple of days, Su Xiang will join Zhengrong as COO, and you will be the CEO."

Yang Zheng spoke.

At this time, he came to Zhang Qinglan's office.

Zhang Qinglan frowned slightly: "Is she okay?"

Yang Zheng replied: "After a period of adaptation, it shouldn't be a problem."

Zhang Qinglan nodded. When he was about to speak again, he suddenly seemed to think of something and his tone turned cold:

"You're not having an affair with this Su Xiang, are you?"

Yang Zheng was speechless. "She's a lesbian, and she's a couple with Song Ruoxin. You should know about them, right?"

Song Ruoxin was introduced to Zhengrong Media by Zhang Qingxun.

The reason why Zhang Qingxun thought of calling Song Ruoxin was naturally because he knew the love story between Song Ruoxin and Su Xiang.

And if Zhang Qingxun knew, it meant that Zhang Qinglan knew.

really.

Zhang Qinglan nodded, but his tone remained cold: "But you and Song Ruoxin are having an affair."

Yang Zheng: “…”

He paused and said, "It's purely a relationship of interest, not an affair."

As he spoke, he pulled Zhang Qinglan into his arms, shutting her up before she could pursue the matter further.

It’s better not to let Zhang Qinglan know about his relationship with Su Xiang.

Otherwise, this silly woman would work with Su Xiang with emotions.

Just like how she targeted Song Ruoxin, it was obvious.

Song Ruoxin is actually quite capable at work.

Otherwise, Zhang Qingxun would not have introduced her here.

But Song Ruoxin basically just slacks off every day at Zhengrong Media.

Whatever she wanted to do, Zhang Qinglan would find fault with it.

For example, the several senior talents that Song Ruoxin recruited last time were all driven away by Zhang Qinglan when he found an opportunity.

In addition to being on guard against Haidong Holdings behind Song Ruoxin, Zhang Qinglan is probably more... jealous.

Yang Zheng didn't want her and Su Xiang to have such a hostile relationship.

This is not conducive to the development of Zhengrong Media.

So... let's keep it a secret for now if we can.

After eating the mouth.

Yang Zheng changed the subject directly in his usual way: "Do you know Block Hand?"

Blockbuster is actually quite popular nowadays.

After six months of development, the number of daily active users has skyrocketed from 50 to over 1000 million.

By June this year, the number of users will exceed 6 million.

Since then, it has been leading the short video market.

Douyin, which was launched in 2016, was initially severely suppressed by it.

It wasn't until 2018 that Douyin surpassed Tencent.

But at this time, block hands are still very promising.

Even when it was listed in Hong Kong in 2021, it continued to perform strongly.

The issue price of Block Hand shares is 115 Hong Kong dollars.

But the opening price on the first day was as high as 338 Hong Kong dollars.

The increase reached 193%!

The market value exceeds 1.7 trillion Hong Kong dollars!

At that time, it was equivalent to 1.4 trillion Xia currency.

It definitely deserves the phrase: So terrifying!

It's a pity that the good times did not last long...

Block Hand will be launched in early February.

By May, the stock price had fallen from its highest point of 5 Hong Kong dollars to less than 470.

The decline was as high as 85%.

And this is not the worst yet.

In January 2022, the stock price of Blockbuster fell to a low of 1 coins.

The market value is only 1900 billion Hong Kong dollars.

1.5 trillion directly evaporated!

And the stock price has remained sluggish since then.

Even after developing various business models, they made considerable profits.

Still failed to recover the stock price.

The specific reasons are complicated to analyze.

But the most important point is undoubtedly... Douyin is too strong and spicy!

Internet companies generally focus on the winner-takes-all approach.

The company ranked first often has a higher market share than the combined market share of all companies ranked second to third.

The short video field will be the most important entertainment field for the entire nation in the future.

And the situation is still undecided.

Of course Yang Zheng intended to rush forward.

He didn't dare to think about it before because he had nothing.

But now, he has no shortage of resources and connections.

Plus, he has a vision of nearly 10 years into the future.

It is not impossible to kick and punch, or make noises.

He had previously thought about simply investing in Kuaishou to help it consolidate its position as the leader in the short video field.

Even if you fail, you can exit in time.

Just think of it as making some extra money.

You won’t lose anything anyway.

But then I thought about it and it always felt a bit boring.

In the past, he always thought that Boss Ma was being too pretentious when he said he had no interest in money and that money was the easiest thing to get in the world.

Now he began to understand Boss Ma a little.

When money reaches a certain level, it is really no different from a string of numbers.

Just like the nearly 5 million he has in his account now.

If you spend it normally, how can you possibly spend it all?

And he can't spend money abnormally.

He is not the type of person who likes extravagant life.

At most, it will cost more to support a girl.

So Wang Xinnan asked for 1000 million a year.

He agreed without thinking and turned around immediately.

Otherwise he would have nowhere to use his money.

That's why when he persuaded his cousin Chen Jin to be the "factory manager" just now, he directly gave Meng Chan 20% of the shares.

Mengchan is now worth no less than 20 billion.

20% of the shares are worth over 4 million.

No one can say "less" here, right?

But Yang Zheng really didn't think there were many.

So he felt that he understood Boss Ma a little bit.

Because he really has no interest in money now.

I'm too lazy to do anything that just makes money.

So he no longer thought about investing directly in Kuaishou or Douyin.

But prepare to do it yourself!

"I seem to have heard of it somewhere. Is it a short video app?"

Zhang Qinglan asked uncertainly.

"Correct."

Yang Zheng nodded: "It's more popular in the north now."

He paused for a moment before adding, "The prospects for short video will be no worse than those for e-commerce platforms and communication software."

The two giants on the Internet today, Taohuo and Penguin, have their basic foundations as e-commerce platforms and communication software.

So what he meant by this was very clear: he wanted to create the third business empire on the Internet!

Zhang Qinglan looked at him blankly: "Can the short video industry reach this level?"

"can."

Yang Zheng first affirmed it, then added, "I haven't mentioned the development prospects of the short video field to anyone else. You're the first one."

Otherwise, he is now at a high level.

Just this sentence can make this silly woman Zhang Qinglan happy for at least five days.

Zhang Qinglan couldn't even control his expression, he just raised the corners of his mouth and said in a slightly coquettish tone:

"You haven't said it yet."

Yang Zheng smiled and began to tell the story.

He started with the driving force of basic network upgrades and optimized AI intelligent algorithms.

Now, with the fast pace of life and fragmented time, people have a need for expression and social interaction.

As well as the rich entertainment and commercial nature of short videos.

He analyzed everything to Zhang Qinglan.

The result is.

The way Zhang Qinglan looked at him was almost tearful...

Although Zhang Qinglan looked not very smart.

But she is a top student who obtained a master's degree in business administration from Yelu University.

Of course, he is not the kind of business novice who can’t understand what is being said.

And precisely because she could understand, she admired Yang Zheng even more...

Let’s talk about things that will become reality ten years later now.

How can someone who knows the business not listen to a fool?

And everything Yang Zheng said became reality one by one.

Zhang Qinglan is undoubtedly...even more hopeless.

In her eyes at that time, Yang Zheng was predicting the future.

And it was predicted!
