ps: There are emotional dramas and commercial dramas.
During the Spring Festival to worship ancestors, Gao's father and Gao's mother did not accompany them, leaving full power to the generation of Gao Tuan and Gao Yuanyuan. I don't know how the news leaked. When I heard that "Zhou Zhiruo" was going back to his hometown in Tangshan, banners were hung at the intersection for the first time. ——
"Welcome celebrity Gao Yuanyuan home for the New Year!"
Every household, whoever has free time, stands or squats at the entrance of the village, braving the cold wind, waiting eagerly.
"Hey, the car is coming!"
Suddenly, the person huddled in a small hill pointed into the distance and jumped up and down with excitement, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Is it Zhou Zhiruo?"
"Did you know, I couldn't see anyone, but I saw one car, Wori, there were five of them! And Ben'er~"
"That's nonsense. Where did Ben'er come from? There is only one Audi in the county, so he's so cool."
"Really, come up and take a look."
"..."
The protruding hillock was instantly crowded with people. Looking around, they saw the open but bumpy dirt road was filled with dust, and a row of cars drove into the village in a grand manner.
Lu Fei was dressed very low-key, wearing ordinary sweaters and shirts layered on top of each other, and wrapped in a tight down jacket. He reached out and led Gao Yuanyuan out of the car.
As soon as she appeared, the whole place was in an uproar.
Although she is dressed simply, she is down-to-earth. She wears a khaki windbreaker and black leggings. She has a good figure, a good face, and a braided head, which makes her look gentle and rich.
"Oh my god, Zhou Zhiruo is back!"
With the loud voice, a group of villagers swarmed up. Gao Yuanyuan did not show any stage fright under the gaze of everyone. She wore a sweet smile and greeted her relatives one by one.
"Great aunt, great aunt..."
Seeing Gao Yuanyuan happily hugging the little girl, Lu Fei told Wang Ben to protect her, and then he and Gao Tuan quietly left and came to the renovated old house, rolling up his sleeves and painting the walls.
In previous years, when I lived in Caishikou, I always had to clean the house and the roof to make the inside and outside of the house clean, so that we could welcome our ancestors for the New Year and invite guests home.
"Brother, have you brought enough money?"
Lu Fei patted Gao Tuan on the shoulder.
"Lu, brother-in-law, everything is here as you ordered."
He unzipped the bag, and a bright red and festive red envelope was vaguely revealed in the gap, then grabbed a handful and handed it over.
Soon, a large army of villagers followed Gao Yuanyuan and walked towards the old house one after another. Lu Fei distributed the money in an orderly manner. There were a total of 839 people in the village, and everyone had a share.
"Oh, that's why you asked my brother to bring all this money." Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips, "Why do you suddenly have a whim, big capitalist?"
Lu Fei joked: "If wealth does not return to its hometown, it will be like walking at night in brocade clothes. Let's also indulge in this cliché and live up to Xiang Yu's addiction."
"Vulgar!" Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes resentfully.
"There is something even more vulgar. Our Yuanyuan family has become a big shot. The whole village came out to greet us in such a grand manner. If we don't express our gratitude, some people will think that big shots are stingy. Are you satisfied?"
Lu Fei stuffed a bunch of red envelopes into her hand.
"Huh, my family is very simple!"
Gao Yuanyuan pouted arrogantly, "No one said anything about me when I came back. Now you show me that I'm stingy. But since it's your first time here, I forgive you. I won't do it again~"
After saying that, he secretly opened a red envelope and took a look inside, "How many are there?"
"One, one thousand!!"
Just when everyone thought it might just be a three to five hundred red envelope, they never expected that the bulging red envelope contained 1,000.
I have never seen such a big red envelope in my life!
Suddenly the whole village exploded and boiled completely.
Those who had received the red envelopes rushed to tell each other and screamed. Some old people were even excited, with trembling hands and tears, pulling their children to ask if they could kowtow to Lu Fei.
Those who haven't received it yet went crazy and crowded in. There was a long queue from the door to the intersection, densely packed.
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, everyone has it!"
Lu Fei directed traffic and maintained order.
"1,000 yuan, isn't that 840,000 yuan?"
Gao Yuanyuan blinked and gave away an apartment?
"These are love donations made by Lu and my brother-in-law in your name. He heard that his hometown in Tangshan is very poor, so he did this on purpose. In the future, he will also allocate money to build roads and build an e-commerce village to help the people in the village get rich. "
Gao Tuan said with a smile: "Brother-in-law has already helped seven villages with poverty alleviation. Yuanyuan, you called the wrong person 'capitalist'."
"He lied to me again!"
Gao Yuanyuan looked at Lu Fei, who was shouting with his voice burning, and his eyes were full of love, and she muttered: "I won't do this next time."
When all the 839,000 yuan was distributed, everyone had a bright smile on their faces and enthusiastically surrounded Lu Fei and the others to the cemetery.
The tombstone is somewhat damaged, and the grass on the grave is not very deep.
Starting from the high-ranking ancestors, everyone is invited one by one according to their generation.
Then the group left the cemetery and went home. It was already night. From the beginning of the village to the end of the village, every house hung up lanterns, with red lights flashing.
Lu Fei waved his hand and hosted a banquet for the whole village.
At the banquet, Lu Fei and Gao Yuanyuan walked among the guests and friends, toasting frequently, and they had a tacit understanding like a couple.
"Everyone is really happy that you are distributing money, but you have to tell me why you suddenly returned to the village to distribute money this year?"
"Yeah, tell me!"
"..."
The villagers were shouting and chattering.
Gao Yuanyuan blushed and didn't know what to say. Then she saw Lu Fei put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms, smiling evilly:
"Isn't this my uncle's first time back home? I have to thank this village and everyone properly, otherwise I would be able to find such a good wife!"
"Hahaha~"
"Ah, yes, the new uncle comes home for the first time."
"You two are so talented and beautiful, you are a perfect match..."
The villagers naturally said good things when they got a good result, and some even drank too much and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Kiss me, kiss me."
Lu Fei deliberately moved his face towards me and said with a playful smile, "My wife, what should I do?"
"You, you, so many people are watching."
Gao Yuanyuan's face turned red with embarrassment, and she resisted the urge to strangle him to death. Her voice became smaller and smaller, "You can figure it out yourself."
Just as the front foot closed its eyes, the lips of the back foot felt hot.
"Oh oh oh, kiss, kiss, kiss!"
The children who love to join in the fun are the first to shout, bleep, jump and jump, followed by the adults applauding like blessing the newlyweds.
"Yuanyuan, do you still like this New Year's gift?"
There was an invisible thread of water stuck to Lu Fei's mouth.
"I-I like it."
Gao Yuanyuan slowly recovered from the vacuum in her brain, feeling the gaze of the whole village, and Xiafei's cheeks, and a trace of warmth swam in her heart.
"One more kiss! One more kiss!"
Accompanied by the continuous booing, she couldn't resist it and hid in the room. She silently took out her mobile phone, found the text message sent by Liu Shishi on New Year's Eve, and decisively deleted it with one click.
At this moment, the choice has been made in my heart.
…………
The day after the ancestor worship ceremony, Lu Fei carried his hollowed-out body and set off back to Yanjing. The major TV stations had long been waiting for Gao Yuanyuan to make the decision to cut the cake of "Wulin Gaiden".
He was also eagerly anticipated by Gu Yongqiang. There happened to be this gap, and it took time to organize a logical seminar. Although Huawei was dealt with, friends like Xiali and Bird had not yet responded.
Taking this opportunity, the meeting place is still at the Haizhiwei hotpot restaurant on Qinhai Road.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, I am Gu Yongqiang."
Gu Yongqiang stood up and shook hands politely.
"I have heard of Mr. Gu's name for a long time. Who doesn't know that Sohu is 'Gu is in charge, Zhang is outside'. It seems that Mr. Gu is in charge of everything, including financing, acquisitions, sales, marketing, and product operations."
Lu Fei secretly said, "For a 'Xiao He' like you, Zhang Chaoyang is actually willing to let you leave?"
"Haha, there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever."
There was a hint of loneliness in Gu Yongqiang's eyes.
Lu Fei pressed his hand down and motioned to sit down, "Maybe Mr. Gu met someone other than Ming Zhu and thought it was Liu Bang, but he met Xiang Yu. Oh, no, Zhang Chaoyang can't compare to Xiang Yu."
He is just a Wei Bao!
Although Gu Yongqiang had grievances, he did not slander his old boss. He changed the subject and said, "I asked Xiaochuan to invite Mr. Lu today in the hope of getting Mr. Lu's support. Because time is tight, I did not prepare a complete business plan. "
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Fei crossed his arms and said, "I believe in Xiaochuan and I also believe in Mr. Gu, because you are professionals."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your trust. In fact, I have also collected a lot of information about the Internet industry." Gu Yongqiang held the information and pulled out relevant information wherever he talked. "I have three directions for starting a business, webcasting and online education. Of course, these two One is an alternative, and the one I prefer is the video website.”
As he spoke, he handed over a copy of Sanlian Life Weekly, which contained reports about Tudou and Wang Wei.
Lu Fei flipped through it casually: "What a coincidence, Wang Wei's interview was arranged by Penguin."
Gu Yongqiang gave a thumbs up, "I know that Penguin invested in Tudou and pps, and also acquired YouTube. Mr. Lu's vision is truly unique in the entire Internet industry."
"Do you also think online video has great potential?"
"That's right! When I invested in Wells Fargo in the past, I was responsible for the media industry sector. I can predict that the popularity of broadband will start to explode this year, and the entire online video industry is on the eve of a traffic explosion."
"How much does Mr. Gu want to integrate?"
Lu Fei nodded with satisfaction, expert!
"About $3 million."
Gu Yongqiang stretched out three fingers and said, "I am willing to take out 15% of the equity of the website."
"15%?" Lu Fei shook his head and laughed, "Tudou.com's angel round, 500,000 US dollars, is 33.3% of the equity. PPS, 800,000 US dollars, also has 32.5% of the equity."
"Aren't they afraid of losing control if they raise funds like this?"
Gu Yongqiang took a breath of air.
Lu Fei picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in the sauce and chewed it, "They think that completing what they do is more important than anything else, so they don't care so much about control. It's also very possible that they don't think they can really control the website at all. Done.”
"No, we absolutely won't!"
Gu Yongqiang vowed that the contacts and resources he has accumulated over the years can quickly form the most stable and powerful team in the video industry, covering everything from copyright, advertising, marketing, product operations, financing, etc. Although he entered the game later than Tudou and pps, But the starting point can be said to be comprehensively surpassed.
Lu Fei's eyes lit up, and he felt more and more that he was suitable to be the head of Penguin Video, but he also felt that he had a strong desire to start his own business, and he could be accepted as his younger brother without being treated as a treat.
Must be beheaded!
Seeing Mr. Lu just eating meat and not talking, Gu Yongqiang thought that the financing equity was still too small, so he gritted his teeth and raised it to "16%".
"Mr. Lu, we are not new people in this group. We are a new company but not new people. We know how to operate an Internet product, and we also know how to tell the stories they like to the smart investment bankers on Wall Street. Our website will definitely be in the future. Can be put on the market.”
"Now that it's on the market, how do you plan to solve the problem of piracy on video websites?" Lu Fei squinted his eyes.
"I know that Penguin has been buying up the original copyright, but how many people on the market have Penguin's financial resources?"
Gu Yongqiang said seriously: "So I think this issue can be ignored before going public. We are still in the 1.0 era of video websites. Barbaric growth will definitely be accompanied by piracy, just like Baidu and Sogou rely on mp3 search to become bigger and stronger, and piracy The source is not the platform, but netizens."
"Just a netizen? Not necessarily."
Lu Fei put down Kuai Zi, "Have you ever seen "Wulin Gaiden", which was broadcast simultaneously by Han and Tang Culture in cooperation with Shanghai Media and Broadcasting Corporation?"
Gu Yongqiang nodded, "Of course I have watched the TV series that openly challenged the Spring Festival Gala. And I also know that Penguin sent legal letters to all the video websites that pirated "Wulin Gaiden", including Tudou."
"Not only will we send a lawyer's letter, we will also choose one or two companies, such as LeTV and pptv, to directly meet them in court."
Lu Fei said with a cold face, "Because it's too much! Only a few episodes of "Wulin Gaiden" have been aired, and there are already some websites that list the complete episodes of the TV series. What kind of netizens have such ability? Will we be able to get all the movies at that time?”
Gu Yongqiang could feel a hint of murderous intent, "Uh, Mr. Lu, that wasn't done by the platform. It probably came from the production factory. I didn't expect piracy to be so serious."
"Fortunately, the killing was timely, but when will this killing end? The key is that there are still people who place advertisements for these pirated TV series. This is too much!"
】
Lu Fei knocked on the table, "Especially Sohu and LeTV, Mr. Gu, I would like to advise you not to imitate them. Piracy is okay, but it doesn't mean that you will not be able to survive, but it must be done in moderation."
"Mr. Lu, what do you think we should do?"
Gu Yongqiang's heart skipped a beat.
Lu Fei picked up the kettle and poured the thick sauce into it, and it immediately turned into a dirty lake of slurry. "How can you eat a good video website business if it turns into a pot of porridge?"
"Mr. Lu wants to dump it, clean it, and start over?"
Gu Yongqiang quickly drank a sip of Coke to calm down his shock.
Lu Fei said: "That's what I mean. While Penguin will sue them for infringement, they will also sue advertisers like Coca-Cola for allegedly advertising on pirated videos."
"Is this still possible?"
Wang Xiaochuan and Gu Yongqiang looked at each other in shock, "Mr. Lu, I don't think it's possible to file an lawsuit, right? It's like some content in the newspaper has violated taboos. Are the advertisers on the page also sued to court?"
"Of course the court will dismiss the lawsuit, but it will make advertisers nervous, because the more high-end brands are afraid of damaging their reputation, they will put pressure on video websites."
Lu Fei is full of confidence, which is why the advertisements of pirated websites are always related to cyan, gambling, and web games.
Cruel, too cruel!
Gu Yongqiang's heart tightened. This was cutting off people's financial resources and suppressing his opponents. "Mr. Lu, if you uproot them, small websites like Tudou.com can only rely on the huge capital of the Internet. Wouldn't it be like Penguin and Sohu becoming the dominant ones?"
"If Zhang Chaoyang obediently buys the copyright, leave a share for him." Lu Fei slowly picked up crab meat sticks, pissed beef balls, fish tofu, etc., and placed them in front of them one by one, "pptv, 56.com, LeTV will Find someone to replace them, Baidu, Shanda, Feigou, NetEase, and New Wolf are all interested in investing or taking over."
"Mr. Lu, what about me?"
Gu Yongqiang seemed to have heard the huge news, and his spine could not help but shiver. Are the Internet capital giants going to be slaughtered?
"Compared to starting a video website, Mr. Gu, you have a better choice."
Lu Fei's smile, Wang Xiaochuan saw, suddenly reminded him of the way he had been kidnapped to Sogou. It cannot be said to be exactly the same, but at least it is almost the same -
Temptation from the devil!
