April 18, central villa area.
On the curb opposite the main entrance, there were a bunch of paparazzi standing or squatting. In order to take photos of Wang Fei's pregnancy, they persisted day and night. Although they still found nothing, they did not give up.
"You're so awesome, you can even fall asleep standing up!"
Zhuo Wei saw his partner snoring from exhaustion and gently kicked him to wake him up, "Stop sleeping and watch carefully."
"Ha~"
The partner wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: "Brother Zhuo, do you think Wang Fei is not here at all? He has been squatting for 6 days."
"Don't say 6 days, I have to squat for 60 days."
Zhuo Wei glared angrily, turned around and saw a BMW Z4 slowly stopping, the license plate reflected in his eyes, he couldn't help but take a breath:
"Hey, this license plate?!"
"Brother Zhuo, is that car Wang Fei's?" His partner followed his gaze and said, "No, none of the license plates match. Could it be Li Yapeng's car?"
Zhuo Wei shook his head, "No, but it looks familiar. Let me think about it, think about it."
With that said, the security guard let him go, and the BMW Z4 gradually disappeared from his sight. When he couldn't see the taillights, he suddenly thought: "Oh shit, I remembered. This is the car of Wang Yi Ding Sanshi. I have photographed it before."
"Brother Zhuo, do you still remember Ding Sanshi's license plate?"
"Nonsense! Why don't we remember this if we are in this business? What if one day we bump into a female celebrity sitting in his car? Bosses are very fond of this these days. Lu Fei, the richest man, just found Gao Yuanyuan."
The partner was puzzled, "Brother Zhuo, do you think Ding Sanshi would hide his beauty in a golden house and have a tryst with any female star?"
Zhuo Wei couldn't help but wonder: "It's impossible. A person like Ding Lei would be willing to spend money on this? And I haven't heard that he has real estate here?"
"This is strange. Then what is he doing here?"
While Zhuo Wei and other paparazzi were racking their brains to make wild guesses, Ding Sanshi himself drove to the single-family villa where Lu Fei was staying, carrying a beautifully packaged wooden box in one hand and ringing the doorbell with the other.
The door opened slowly, and Gao Yuanyuan walked out wearing a retro herringbone wool suit, with the hem of pure white wide-leg pants swaying slightly.
"Sister-in-law."
Ding Sanshi thought he was Lu Fei's number one, and he didn't care about the age gap and greeted him cordially like a bachelor.
"It's Mr. Ding." When Gao Yuanyuan heard it at first, she felt awkward and a little happy, "Come in quickly, A Fei was talking about you just now."
"Really!"
Ding Sanshi adjusted his glasses and strode in. In the huge reception room, Lu Fei and Cao Guowei were sitting face to face on the big fruit red sandalwood tea table, making tea and chatting.
Damn it, there is someone faster than me!
"Mr. Ding, hello, hello."
Cao Guowei nodded politely.
"CEO Cao."
Ding Sanshi responded, then opened the gift box, revealing a high-end purple sand tea set, "Brother Lu, happy birthday."
"Just come and bring any gifts."
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up, and Gao Yuanyuan's mention of his birthday reminded him, so he organized a party on the pretext of his birthday.
"This is just a small gift, there is a bigger one."
Ding Sanshi waved his hand and lowered his voice and said: "I discussed with other people and planned to split the stock into four. Each share would be split into about 23.14 US dollars, leaving enough room for future growth. What do you think? How about it?"
"I didn't expect that NetArt would be split up..."
Cao Guowei's eyes were full of envy. In the capital market, stock splitting is a very common operation, and it usually occurs on industry giants with high stock prices.
Obviously they all started out in the same batch of portals, but as a result, NetEase's market value is already greater than that of New Wolf and Sohu combined, just because they followed the right big brother.
"Mainly thanks to Brother Lu who supported me on the board of directors, regarded online games as the "second growth curve", and also invested in Tianxia, "Westward Journey 2" and "Fantasy Westward Journey" were born. After that, the Internet Art Blog became even more Needless to say
, hahaha~"
Ding Sanshi laughed loudly and envied Cao Guowei.
Lu Fei handed over a cup of tea, "The current stock price is a bit high. Yesterday I saw that the market was 93 US dollars per share. It should be split to increase liquidity. I have no objection. I will definitely vote for you at the meeting."
Ding Sanshi smiled. As long as he was on his side, the board of directors would pass it without any resistance.
While he was happy, he asked sideways about the real purpose of this birthday party. There must be something important to discuss, otherwise Cao Guowei would not be able to show up.
"What do you think of video websites?"
Lu Fei smiled and said: "I see that Shanda, New Wolf, and Sohu are all chasing this new Internet trend. There seems to be no movement in NetEase, not to mention video websites, not even broadband and podcasts."
"Brother Lu, I'm really unfamiliar with this area."
Ding Sanshi smiled with a hint of shrewdness, "I think it's better to make online games. Shanda's momentum is very strong now. We have licensed several games from Bangzi to compete with us for second place. Even if I have this intention, I can't afford it." I started to build a video website, and I heard that it costs a lot of money, including bandwidth, servers, and copyrights..."
"In addition to playing games, what are you going to do next?"
Lu Fei was not annoyed, it was completely expected. Ding Sanshi was almost the most stingy boss on the Internet. He neither dared to take risks nor was willing to spend money. He only wanted to make a little bit of money.
"Don't laugh at me if I tell you."
Ding Sanshi chewed melon seeds and said casually in a calm tone: "I want to raise pigs."
"Mr. Ding, do you want to raise pigs?"
Cao Guowei almost couldn't hold it back and spat out a mouthful of tea. His face was full of shock and he stared at him who said something shocking.
I knew it……
Lu Fei was not surprised, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Ding Sanshi noticed that his young leader smiled without hesitation. His expression was completely different from Cao Guowei's, and he said in surprise:
"Brother Lu, don't you think it's strange?"
Lu Fei smiled and said: "Pig raising is also a good business. The country eats hundreds of millions of pigs at least a year. If the Internet and big data can be applied to breeding, what a huge output value it will be. Moreover, because of" clenbuterol ", and it involves food safety."
"Yes, yes, Brother Lu, you and I are just thinking about it! I'm just here for food safety, and making money is just a side thing."
Ding Sanshi was so excited that he once revealed his idea of raising pigs to trusted people, but no one could understand him at all.
I have to be the eldest brother, you are the only one who understands me!
"But scientific management alone is obviously not enough. If you sell pork, you must also rely on e-commerce."
As soon as Lu Fei said this, Ding Sanshi and Cao Guowei looked at each other. How can pig farming be related to e-commerce?
"To tell you the truth, Gaodong and I secretly launched an e-commerce poverty alleviation pilot project, which is also a breeding industry, but instead of raising pigs, we raise chickens."
Looking at his frustrated look, Gao Yuanyuan brought a plate of fruit: "Yes, we will implement it in my hometown in northern Hebei. We will sign an agreement with every household to adopt a group of chickens, and pay a deposit for each chicken. Install a pedometer on the leg of each chicken. As long as the number of steps reaches one million, they will start to repurchase each chicken, and then package it into a brand. This time, it seems that nothing has been done, and the price difference is just There are dozens of dollars.”
"How can you say you haven't done anything? Fortunately, you are in front of one of your own people." Lu Fei rolled his eyes, "The poorer the place, the higher the prices. It is difficult to sell your native chickens at a good price.
Now I have made chicken farming smart and digital, integrating the efficiency of the industry, increasing income for farmers and alleviating poverty, providing healthy food to citizens, and Feigou.com can also make a small profit. It is a win-win-win-win situation. "
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
Ding Sanshi exclaimed, "Nowadays, people are getting richer and richer, and they are more and more particular about their food. They demand green, healthy and pollution-free. There is no shortage of market for these native chickens and native pigs. Brother Lu, do you want to invest in this pig farm?" ?」
"I'm going to vote for you, of course! And not only raising pigs, but also honey and cows will also vote in the future."
Lu Fei rubbed his hands, "e-commerce + breeding + poverty alleviation"
After a combination of punches, it is really the food and clothing of hundreds of millions of people, which is equivalent to the eighth level of the indestructible body.
Who can break this golden body?
"In the future, I will leave the sales of pork to Feigou.com."
Ding Sanshi suddenly had a feeling that a man would die for his confidant. The eldest brother is the eldest brother. From now on, I will raise pigs and the eldest brother will raise chickens. We will be the "Huanong Brothers" of the Internet world.
Lu Fei nodded and asked, "But are you really not interested at all in video websites?"
Ding Sanshi said firmly: "Brother Lu, you know me. I don't like to chase the wind. Others may be doing something exciting, but I never join in the fun."
"Okay, then just stay and listen."
Lu Fei patted him on the shoulder without forcing it.
After all, all of NetArt's products smell poor. Let's just say that NetArt Cloud's music copyrights are pitiful. If you get involved in video websites, you will definitely live on Soso.
"Huh~"
Cao Guowei took a deep breath. Although his mind was confused by their "not doing their job properly", there was finally good news——
NetEase withdraws, wouldn’t Mr. Lu have no choice but to choose New Wolf?
But what was beyond imagination was that in addition to the expected Li Yanhong and Chen Tianqiao, Lu Fei also invited Liu Haodong.
The whole tea table is surrounded by Penguin, Feigou, Baidu, Shanda, New Wolf, and NetEase, which almost include the most powerful and leading Internet capital today, except Ali and Sohu.
"Gaodong is here on behalf of Feigou.com this time."
Lu Fei poured 5 more cups of tea and handed them over one by one, "And I, on behalf of Penguin, have called everyone here today. As a friend, Yu privately will help me celebrate my birthday. As for Yu Gong, everyone must be here more or less." Clearly, it’s a video website.
I don’t know what you think of the current situation? "
"A small fight will lead to nothing."
Chen Tianqiao blurted out, his tone full of disdain.
"This is normal. Isn't this how all of us are here?"
Li Yanhong shook her head and said, "At the beginning, Mr. Lu and I were sitting door to door and starting a business in the Ziyuan Hotel. Who could have expected that we would be here today? However, the situation of video websites is much more complicated, whether it is search or e-commerce. , there are only a few or a dozen competing companies, not as crazy as the video websites, there are more than a hundred, not counting the pirated P2P streaming media, the impression I have on me is just one word, chaotic!"
"That's right."
Liu Edong, Cao Guowei and others nodded repeatedly.
"Mr. Li's word "chaos" really gets to the root of it. "
Chen Tianqiao smacked the table in approval. As someone who has regarded building online Disney as his lifelong dream, he has long been dissatisfied with the chaos of domestic video websites. He wishes he could wipe out the entire industry and bring it all into the territory of Shanda Kingdom.
Although the current grandness is not as good as in the previous life, because of Lu Fei's butterfly wings, it is less radical and more stable.
Shanda Games is not as good as Penguin, but it is on par with NetArt. It has always fluctuated between the second and third eldest. Shanda Literature is modeled after Penguin's founding group.
He is not satisfied with literature and games. What he wants is a Penguin entertainment empire that integrates the game industry, online literary IP and film and television music like Mr. Lu.
With it, the set-top box plan is not yet complete!
"That's why I invited everyone here, just to unite and cure the chaos of video websites."
Lu Fei knocked on the table sternly.
"How does Mr. Lu want to treat it?"
Li Yanhong looked at Ding Sanshi on the left, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and on the right looked at Cao Guowei and Liu Eodong, obviously understanding, and he could not help but feel curious and confused.
"We are the most powerful and capitalized ones on the Internet. We have funds, traffic, and business. If we step in, we will focus on the big ones and abandon the small ones, readjust, and support three or five video websites out of hundreds. , and then form a business alliance in the video industry, and everyone will formulate rules together..."
Lu Fei kept talking, the rule is that the strong give to the weak
If anyone dares to violate the rules and regulations established, the alliance will attack them together!
"Mr. Lu said it well!"
Chen Tianqiao gave a thumbs up, "I don't know what everyone here thinks, but to be honest, Shanda is really interested in the prospects of video websites. On the one hand, it can import advertisements into the website to make money, and on the other hand, it can divert the website's traffic to In other businesses, it’s almost killing two birds with one stone, but there’s a big problem here.”
"Mr. Chen, you might as well speak more clearly."
Ding Sanshi was chewing melon seeds and looking sideways.
"It's not that Shanda has never thought about support. We have contacted websites such as Jieshi, PPTV, and Ku6. However, for various reasons, these companies are only willing to raise funds and are not willing to be acquired. So how can we support or intervene? ?」
Chen Tianqiao spread his hands and said, "We can't just follow Mr. Lu's penguin example and end it ourselves. Wouldn't it only add to the chaos?"
"No need to trouble you, I will take action and Penguin Video will be the spoiler. What do you think?"
Lu Fei smiled.
"How does Mr. Lu plan to stir things up?"
Li Yanhong's eyes lit up.
Lu Fei asked: "What are the difficulties of video websites now?"
It was as if Chao Guowei had stringed together words in advance and said with praise: "The cost of traffic and bandwidth is high, venture capital financing is difficult, and the amount is still small. Moreover, the potential legal crisis of piracy will break out sooner or later. Sooner or later, video websites will have to purchase genuine resources, which will add another amount of money." cost."
"In the final analysis, it is also one word, "money"! "
Lu Fei held out a finger, "Although the video website industry is very profitable, it is also very expensive. If we can start from all aspects of genuine, high-definition, traffic, and bandwidth, we can burn up their funds and disrupt their operations. They will not be able to raise money." The capital chain will be broken. Even if you get financing, you will have other ideas after rounds of burning money, such as..."
Liu Edong promptly added: "If you continue to be independent, you will definitely die. Why not find a capital as a backer?"
"That's right!"
Lu Fei stood up, held the table upright with both hands, leaned forward, looked down at everyone menacingly, and showed a satanic smile.
I want to reshuffle the cards, who wants to be my poker partner!
