The Utopia of the Wastewood Prince

85

The basement was almost empty, and there were a few fewer people coming in and out every day, and suddenly I was not used to it.

"What?" Zhang Chunqiang was busy chatting with one hand, and occasionally raised his eyelids to look at Li Jiaoyang, "Do you still miss the smell of a fat mansion?"

"No no no, where is it!" Li Jiaoyang quickly distanced himself, "I'm just feeling emotional."

"You're free." Zhang Chunqiang complained, "Go to the refrigerator and get a fat house happy water to deal with it."

Li Jiaoyang asked: "What is Happy Water in Fat House?"

Zhang Chunqiang glanced at Shen Yi, and Shen Yi said without raising his head, "Coke."

"..." Li Jiaoyang said, "I am a person who advocates low-carbon and environmental protection." At this time, the doorbell rang, and he went to the door to open it while nagging.As soon as the heavy door was pulled, an uninvited visitor stood at the door.

"What are you doing here?" Li Jiaoyang yelled.

"It's not here to look for you anyway." Han Ying shrugged, and waved two fingers together towards Li Jiaoyang, "Let's go, let's go."

Li Jiaoyang stood guard at the door: "Did you go to the wrong door?"

"It's Mr. Han I'm dating." Shen Yi walked over slowly, pulled Li Jiaoyang aside, went to the second floor to meet Han Ying, and told Hu Yunfang before going upstairs: "Lord Yunfang, you can Pour us two glasses of water?"

Hu Yunfang had always been responsible for the welcome and delivery. She went to the kitchen to get two glasses of water, and prepared some refreshments by the way, but was stopped by Li Jiaoyang when she was about to go out.

"You are busy with your work." Li Jiaoyang took the tray in her hand, "I'll go up."

Hu Yunfang must be happy if someone is willing to do it for him. After giving the things to Li Jiaoyang, he ran back to his seat to chase stars.

Li Jiaoyang knocked on the door twice, and when he entered, he saw Shen Yi and Han Ying sitting on each side, both looking at him.Shen Yi's expression was very helpless, while Han Ying said mockingly: "Hey, why bother Mr. Li to be a bossy girl? I, Han, what can I do!"

"Fat House Happy Water." Li Jiaoyang poked two cans of Coke in front of the two, and then put some melons, pears, and peaches. It didn't look like a meeting, but like an afternoon tea.Han Ying was very happy because she blocked Li Jiaoyang's mouth, and opened the can of Coke in front of her very embarrassingly, the foam inside suddenly burst out with a "bang", splashing Han Ying all over. , that looks extremely embarrassing.

"Oh, why are you so fat?" Li Jiaoyang grinned at Han Ying with a tissue, "Why is Mr. Han so careless?"

"Li Jiaoyang!" Han Ying roared angrily, "You are so grown up to play such pranks!"

Not to be outdone, Li Jiaoyang said: "Which eye of yours sees that I am playing a prank? It is obvious that you have no common sense!"

Shen Yi, who was sitting on the side, had a big head, and he really wanted to know where these two children from the small class of kindergarten came from. How could they pinch each other regardless of 21, [-]? Is this really hate or Really love?He closed his eyes for two seconds, his nerves were in pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the two of them were about to pinch each other, so he quickly "coughed" twice, and said, "Let's talk about business."

He stretched out his hand to grab Li Jiaoyang, and gave Li Jiaoyang a look. Then Li Jiaoyang calmed down and sat down obediently.

Han Ying was a little thankful that he was wearing a black T-shirt, and it wasn't too obvious that it was stained with Coke. He wiped it off, feeling very upset after holding back his stomach, but Shen Yi had already talked, and if he continued to get angry, he would look like Li Jiaoyang The level is too low, which is very unreasonable.He took Shen Yi's words and said: "I read the manga you recommended to me these days, and I think it's okay, why don't you draw it anymore? I really want to know the follow-up."

Shen Yi said: "I don't know that. I have to ask the author for details. I personally think that this is a pretty good work. The reason why it is not popular may be a big problem with the audience on the platform. The author of this comic is placed in our It's very popular in the cute circle, isn't it amazing?"

"Then why don't you keep her with you?" Han Ying asked a very crucial question.

"Inappropriate." Shen Yi said lightly, "We are not a platform for making content. Unless we can have a group of cartoonists, it is useless to leave her alone. But such a good author has been buried, and I feel extremely sad It's a pity, why don't you borrow flowers to present Buddha and recommend it to Mr. Han." He only said half of what he was thinking, and the other half was because Shen Yi really didn't want Jing Yun to stay in the cute circle, because Li Jiaoyang was very easy to treat women Soft-hearted, it's okay if it's a strong woman, but a weaker woman like Jing Yun is Li Jiaoyang's weakness.He doesn't want to plant a time bomb around him, who knows when it will explode?

"You guys have been discussing here for a long time, have you asked Jing Yun if she wants to?" Sure enough, Li Jiaoyang interrupted, speaking with a very heavy emphasis on Jing Yun.

"You don't have to worry about that." Shen Yi said, "I've already said hello to Jing Yun."

Li Jiaoyang was surprised: "I rely on you to say hello?"

Shen Yi said, "Just when you didn't know."

It feels very bad to be cheated by others, especially by Shen Yi.

Li Jiaoyang was very depressed.

Han Ying also nodded: "I think it is necessary for me to meet her in person."

"I made an appointment with her today." Shen Yi was very thoughtful, he looked down at his phone, "Well, she's here." Just as he finished speaking, the knock on the door rang again.Shen Yi had already greeted Hu Yunfang, and as soon as Jing Yun came, Hu Yunfang told her to go directly to the second floor.However, Shen Yi had a trick with Jing Yun and didn't tell her what was going on before he came.As soon as she opened the door and saw three big men in the room looking at her in unison, she lowered her head nervously.

"Come on!" Shen Yi greeted Jing Yun first, "Come and sit down. Let me introduce you, this is the CEO of a fortune, Mr. Han Ying and Mr. Han."

"One stroke?" Jing Yun's inadvertent question revealed the fact that she had never heard of this app.

Han Ying smiled, and said kindly: "Shen Yi and I are friends, and he recommended your comics to me. I happen to be working on this one recently, so I want to ask if you are interested in developing on a new platform. ?”

"Me?" Jing Yun became even more confused, "I...my data is very poor, and I'm very transparent...I can't draw well." The more she spoke, the lower her voice was, her head almost buried under the coffee table. up.

"Oh, why do you care about this?" Li Jiaoyang couldn't bear to see Jing Yun's lack of self-confidence and belittling himself, he said admonishingly, "Let me tell you, this person is very rich, you just don't care if you cheat Are you being polite? As far as his aesthetic level is concerned, a piece of shit can be said to be delicious! Of course, I’m not saying that what you drew is shit..."

Jing Yun smiled helplessly: "I understand what you mean."

Li Jiaoyang said: "So hurry up!"

"I..." Jing Yun hesitated.

Han Ying said: "Are you worried about the contract issue? For this kind of work that has been cut in half, especially from your description, it seems that the data is not very good. In this way, the copyright owner will not be particularly strict, and there is room for negotiation when it is brought back and re-created. of."

"I know this. I asked this question specifically when I terminated the contract with the platform." Jing Yun said, "It's just..."

"Let me ask you a question." Shen Yi said suddenly, "Do you like drawing manga?"

Jing Yun nodded: "I like it."

Shen Yi asked again: "Do you really think you can't do it, or do you want to give up based on practical reasons?"

"I have had it before." Jing Yun said, "I have thought about it carefully during this time, and I am struggling..."

"Then think about it." Shen Yi said, "Do you want to go back to your hometown to take an exam for a civil servant or to find a very stable job, where the income is not high from nine to five, and you can see the end at a glance on the first day of work? What about the days? Or do you want to fight again as much as possible? Even if you can’t make it, you always have a chance to turn back.”

"..." Jing Yun didn't give a clear answer.

"Just do it if you like it." Shen Yi concluded, "If you had confirmed that going home was a better choice, you wouldn't have stayed in Beijing for so long. You are so hesitant because you still have hope, right?"

Jing Yun nodded, twirled her hair lightly with her fingers and pinned it behind her ears, as if her mind had been exposed, and said, "Yeah, I don't know why, recently I seem to have a little more fighting spirit. I might... ...I really like drawing manga."

Shen Yi said, "Isn't this the end?"

"It's really simple." Han Ying said in a rare serious way, "It's a good thing to be humble, but being too modest is pride. I don't think you need to worry about the popularity. What's the age now? If the popularity depends entirely on the author Anti-that is too unreasonable. Look at the so-called explosions outside, how many of them are naturally explosive? Only the little cuties will believe that they have great strength. Well, I admit that strength is the basis for becoming an explosion , but the follow-up accurate market positioning and mature business operation are the key points to determine whether a work can go to a higher level. I have researched your previous platform, and they just indulge the author's barbaric growth. How can there be such a thing? Playing? You two-dimensional is just not good, always sunny, idealistic, too hardcore, too far away from the market."

He couldn't fool Shen Yi and Li Jiaoyang, but he couldn't fool someone like Jing Yun who had no social experience.Jing Yun was blown away by him, and looked at Shen Yi as if asking for help. Shen Yi nodded and said, "Mr. Han is right. Before capital cleansing regulates the market, any circle will have to go through such pains." , the one who can persevere until the end is considered the winner. Don't be fooled by the momentary heat in front of you, real gold is not afraid of fire."

Jing Yun nodded and said, "I only have one wish, and that is to be able to finish serializing this work." Her wish is very small, as low as the dust.

They seemed to be a little shaken by Jing Yun's intentions, but Han Ying didn't ask Jing Yun to make a final decision, but gave her a contact method and told her to contact him after thinking about it, so he didn't stay any longer.

Several people sent Han Ying downstairs, Han Ying exchanged polite greetings with Shen Yi, but ignored Li Jiaoyang.When he passed by the first floor, he saw Zhang Chunqiang, and then he remembered something, took out a book from his bag, put it on Zhang Chunqiang's desk, and said, "For you." He said mysteriously, looking at Zhang Chunqiang With a strange expression on his face, he walked away very chicly.

After the people left, Li Jiaoyang leaned forward, looked at the author's signature of the book, and said "Oh—" very eccentrically, but Zhang Chunqiang responded with a "hehe" sneer.

She has to think about Jing Yun's matter for two days, this time is not the time for Li Jiaoyang and the others to be busy. Everyone has a lot of bad debts to settle, so they have to calm down and take care of themselves.

Li Jiaoyang held the calculator and pressed it for a long time, then muttered to Hu Yunfang. After a long time, his face showed a frustrated expression of failing the math test.Shen Yi asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I was hit by reality." Li Jiaoyang said, "I just did a calculation, and the money left over from the marketing campaign was not enough for me to buy the rights to the comics. I don’t have much money. Ah... In this world, it’s really hard to earn money and shit! It’s hard to start a business!”

"I think you are very generous in your willingness to come and spend money. Why do you care about these things now?" Zhang Chunqiang asked him.

Li Jiaoyang said: "Can you not care about it? Money!"

Sometimes it’s like this, when you don’t make money, you don’t feel money, but now that you have made money and know the joy of counting money, it’s not the same thing.People are always greedy animals. If they can be responsible for their own profits and losses, they will not think about financing. Financing needs to be replaced with their own equity. The current wave of entrepreneurship has retreated a lot, and company valuations are relatively conservative. How much money can be exchanged for the release of the first round of equity, how long the money can be burned, and what to do with the next round after burning are all very headaches.

For a product like Moe Circle, which can only follow the flow route and has a natural disadvantage in monetization channels, if it relies on capital strength, it can only continue to dilute Li Jiaoyang's shares in the end.In the end, whether the cute circle can still belong to him, whether what he said counts, is unknown.

But judging from the things that have been caused by small fights now, it is unrealistic to support the cute circle.Li Jiaoyang wandered around the office several times anxiously, and countless business strategy ideas turned into bubbles under the greeting of the cooking aunt.

The anxiety in his heart was the anxiety in his heart, Li Jiaoyang didn't want to show it on his face to create a burden for everyone, he would occasionally stay in the office alone at night to continue working on work matters.As a result, he found that the scene where he was obsessed with fighting alone late at night did not exist.

Why is Tong Yu still here and not going home to play games?

Why is Tang Xiaohui still there, why don't you go home and hurry up to make love online?

Why is Shen Yi still here and not going home for a beauty sleep?

"What's the matter with you? I remember that you don't have so much work to do, right?" Li Jiaoyang said, "Why don't you go home? I told you, don't try to waste the company's dinner!"

"Lose weight, don't eat at night." Tang Xiaohui said.

The three of them were in the lobby on the first floor. They had no work to do, but this did not mean that the nightlife of contemporary young people should be spent paralyzed on the sofa at home.

"You do your own fucking work." Shen Yi said to Li Jiaoyang, "I'll help them with English."

"What?" Li Jiaoyang was startled, "Aren't you French?" According to international practice, French French is pronounced four times.

Shen Yi said: "Can't the French speak English? What logic are you talking about?"

"You can just stay here for a while, okay?" Tong Yu had already twirled the pen several times, "I have a quiz tomorrow, can you not bother us to study hard every day?"

"What?" Li Jiaoyang felt that he could no longer understand, "How old are you and you still take the test?"

Tong Yu said: "I plan to review my homework and take the university entrance exam again, do you have any opinions?"

"Huh?" Li Jiaoyang opened his mouth, as if petrified.After a while, he pointed at Tang Xiaohui stiffly and said, "You, what about you?"

Tang Xiaohui said: "I only have a junior high school education level, so I can't go to college, and I can't afford to go to college by myself. What do you think?"

"Oh..." Li Jiaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why are you joining in the fun?"

Tang Xiaohui said: "Although I can't take the college entrance examination, I can take the adult re-education exam. This is where I can study while working."

Li Jiaoyang sorted out his thoughts, and asked, "What's wrong with you two? Although reading is a good thing, what stimulated you two?"

Tong Yu said: "It's nothing, I just found out that many universities offer e-sports majors. After thinking about it for a while, I think it makes sense. I can't become a professional player, but it doesn't mean I can't enter This industry. So I did a careful research and found that this emerging industry is really short of specialized practitioners, so I wanted to try it.”

Tang Xiaohui did not have such great ideals as Tong Yu. She said: "Brother Ming told me to continue studying. He said that if I want to work hard in a big city in the future, education is very important. I also want to find an opportunity to improve Own."

Her vision is indeed much simpler than Tong Yu's. Tong Yu was originally a college student. He grew up in the city without worrying about food and clothing. He has the common problems of this generation: publicity, ego, and assertiveness.Although his ideas are very naive, he is very daring to fight for what he wants to do regardless of the consequences.Do it when you think of it, otherwise it will be a waste of time.Tang Xiaohui is not the case. Her family environment is very closed and backward. Girls are deprived of the right to study, and they don't even have themselves.Tang Xiaohui left her hometown and came to such a colorful world. It is not easy to be willing to open her eyes and look at this world. She doesn't have any long-term plans for herself, but subconsciously, she knows that she wants to stay away from her original family. The life you want.

"That's fine." Li Jiaoyang put one hand on Shen Yi's shoulder, "Teacher Shen is an excellent tutor, you two should study hard."

Shen Yi looked up at Li Jiaoyang, the first student in his tutoring career.
