Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 188: Boss, I'm 39 degrees now (6k subscription required)

When talking about serious matters, Liang Yilan is still very serious, even a little solemn.

Lu Yao took a sip of wine and said, "I have seen your capabilities, so I am willing to help you complete the transformation. How much share are you willing to give me?"

Liang Yilan said without hesitation: "We can give you a 5.5% stake. In addition, any promotional resources you need will be provided at cost price. All our personal connections are also open to you free of charge."

“When the company completes its transformation in the future, the shareholding can be increased to 7 percent.”

The conditions Liang Yilan offered were considered quite generous.

But she still did not stop: "If you are not satisfied with the current conditions, or want to get cash in hand, I can help you negotiate."

The reason why she came over overnight was because she knew the latest trend in the investment circle.

The resources contained in Lu Yao himself are worthy of the chips they gave, not to mention that Lu Yao can also be of great help in helping them transform.

After hearing this chip, Lu Yao smiled.

They are very generous.

But their generosity may stem from their uncertainty about the future.

The advertising industry is super profitable, and in many cases, it makes money on both ends. ByteDance, the largest advertiser in the future, will have a total annual revenue of approximately 2021 billion yuan in 3600, of which advertising revenue accounted for 2500 billion yuan and live broadcast revenue accounted for only 700 billion yuan.

Advertising revenue accounts for 70% of ByteDance’s revenue!
Therefore, ByteDance and Alibaba are essentially similar, both are advertising service providers based on streaming platforms.

The same is true for Alibaba at this stage. Thousands of merchants have settled in the Taobao platform, and the Through Train alone has brought Taobao huge profits.

But such profits could not satisfy Alibaba's appetite, so Alibaba later set up Ant Financial in an attempt to turn itself into the Wall Street of the East. The result of this was foreseeable.

Now the Incremental Advertising Alliance has offered Lu Yao such a high price, and even promised to increase its shareholding to 7% after the transformation is completed in the future.

Lu Yao's original idea was to integrate the Incremental Advertising Alliance into ByteDance's system. If it was successful, then in the future profits, even if the Incremental Advertising Alliance only accounted for 10% of the shares, it would be more than billion in revenue each year.

The amount that Lu Yao got was more than 2 billion.

As for whether ByteDance will accept Lu Yao’s invitation for cooperation... Lu Yao is no longer worried about this now.

The Lu Yao today is no longer the Lu Yao from a year and a half ago.

Relying on the knowledge for the future gained from studying abroad, Lu Yao's energy accumulation was a little faster than ByteDance. In June 2014, ByteDance just completed its C round of financing, with Sequoia Capital and New Micro Fund leading the investment of 6 million US dollars, and ByteDance's valuation exceeded million.

It sounds good, but ByteDance is still very small at this stage.

Today, Lu Yao has the Incremental Advertising Alliance, Rong Nianqing's resources, and a very well-valued gaming company, which is even larger than ByteDance.

There is no reason for ByteDance not to cooperate with Lu Yao.

Even if ByteDance does not cooperate, Lu Yao can become a major shareholder of ByteDance by purchasing shares at a premium, and then enter the cooperation stage.

In fact, ten years later, even the founder of ByteDance only owns about 20% of ByteDance's shares, while global investment institutions hold 58% of ByteDance's shares.

In the process of a company's development and growth, it is inevitable that it will have to contact and compromise with all parties.

Even though TikTok has become a giant on the Internet, ByteDance, Penguin, Baidu and other Internet companies still hold their shares.

Although it is only about 5%, it also shows that Internet companies are often not unique.

Since the price offered by the other party was very suitable, Lu Yao smiled and said: "The price is very fair, but in addition to the tangible benefits, I also want something——"

Liang Yilan asked: "What?"

Lu Yao: "I will be the CEO of your advertising alliance for a five-year term, starting next year. During my term, I hope that your advertising alliance can completely follow my direction. You can supervise, but you cannot influence my decisions."

Liang Yilan was suddenly speechless.

In fact, everything is easy to talk about when it comes to interests, but what Lu Yao wants is power.

And it was absolute power that lasted for five years.

If they really agree, it will be hard to say who will own the company in five years.

As business activities have developed to this day, it is common for managers to sideline shareholders, and for shareholders to sideline founders, etc., so managers of large companies often have many shackles on their shoulders.

Once absolute power is given to managers hired by the company, they can use various means to bypass the original shareholders and completely control the company they have worked hard to create.

Seeing Liang Yilan's embarrassment, Lu Yao was not in a hurry: "You can go back and talk to your side slowly."

It is normal for intrigues to take place in business activities, and it is also normal that Liang Yilan would feel embarrassed about Lu Yao's demand for absolute power.

However, the Incremental Advertising Alliance itself is an organization formed by multiple forces. Its looseness and vacillation determine that it cannot keep up with the pace of the Internet era, especially the mobile Internet era.

Take ByteDance for example. It was founded in 2012 and its initial office was located in a residential building in a residential community.

But by this year, in just two years, he had already received $100 million in financing.

In five years, ByteDance will become a unicorn company worth 500 billion yuan.

This development is too fast.

It happened so fast that before most people could react, it had already reached the pinnacle of an era.

If it follows the traditional business model, it is hard to say whether it can keep up with the times, let alone become a 500 billion Internet unicorn in five years.

In order to keep up with such a rapid pace of development, the Incremental Advertising Alliance must have only one voice, and that voice can only be Lu Yao's.

Lu Yao had never heard of the Incremental Advertising Alliance in the future, which meant that in the original tide of the times, their struggle failed and they eventually disappeared without a trace in an unknown way.

Now that he is involved in the cause and effect of the incremental advertising alliance, he does not want it to become a stumbling block on his way forward.

Liang Yilan was very grateful for Lu Yao's understanding, so she leaned over to Lu Yao and said, "Then let's talk about something other than work?"

She lay directly on Lu Yao's legs, and her beautiful and well-proportioned figure was spread out right under Lu Yao's nose.

The details of the slowly spreading out mountain of flesh are filled with the awe-inspiring beauty of the Creator.

At this moment, Liang Yilan was like a delicacy served on the table, exuding the temptation of color, aroma and taste, which made people who saw this dish have a strong appetite and couldn't wait to eat it up immediately.

But Lu Yao didn't move the stick.

He smiled faintly and said, "I prefer to celebrate after things are settled. I have to thank you for your hard work."

Liang Yilan rested his head on Lu Yao's thigh and said with a sly smile, "You are lying. I clearly felt something pressing against the back of my head."

Lu Yao was not ashamed and smiled calmly as if nothing had happened: "It's normal for him to have some ideas, but he has his ideas and I have mine."

Liang Yilan was amused by Lu Yao.

She simply turned over and sat in front of Lu Yao. Her eyes, which could forge steel into something soft, were like the Yangtze River in late April. Liang Yilan, who sat on Lu Yao like a duck, twisted and turned restlessly: "I don't believe your self-control is that good."

Lu Yao was happy.

She also pulled it up.

This young body is willing to give face to Liang Yilan, but Lu Yao's state of mind is not compatible with his young body. In terms of concentration, Fahai is not as good as him.

Because at this moment Liang Yilan is even more charming and seductive than Xiaoqing.

Lu Yao watched Liang Yilan's performance with a faint smile on his face, just like watching a play.

After struggling for several minutes, Liang Yilan touched her hair, revealing a cool and unruly temperament: "Are you serious? You can tolerate this?"

In fact, this kind of cool and refreshing state that reveals some true feelings attracts Lu Yao more, but he is still talking to the other party. This kind of non-cooperation is an expression of attitude, which can urge Liang Yilan to do things more seriously.

Lu Yao didn't respond to Liang Yilan's words. He sniffed and said, "The smell of your perfume...is the same as mine."

Liang Yilan then got off Lu Yao and said with a bit of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction: "I deliberately used the same perfume as you."

As she said that, she walked into the bedroom of the suite and took out a gift box: "A gift for you."

Inside the gift box was perfume, the same one that Lu Yao and Liang Yilan were using.

However, it is not appropriate to call it a gift. A more appropriate description should be "a tool used to cover up traces of the crime after committing the crime." The effect is the same as buying some oranges to take home after visiting a brothel.

However, Liang Yilan failed to seduce Lu Yao tonight, so this tool used to cover up the traces of the crime was not of much use.

This also shows that she is indeed a very thoughtful woman.

Lu Yao stood up, cleaned up any stains on his body, picked up the gift Liang Yilan gave him and his coat, and said, "I prefer playing video games. You can think of some fun games."

Liang Yilan smiled: "The electric equipment is in my box."

Lu Yao also smiled and said, "Then you have to think of a creative way to play. This can be regarded as your celebration party after your success."

After saying that, he waved his hand: "I'll wait for your good news, no need to send it off."

As Lu Yao spoke, he opened the door and left the hotel suite. Looking at the closed door, Liang Yilan lay back on the sofa with a headache.

……

After Lu Yao left Liang Yilan, he did not go directly back to Sister Wang's apartment.

He returned to the game company and first went to Feng Ji to check on the progress of the project, and then returned to the "Shoot" project team.

Due to the impact of Penguin's "Legend of the Brave", all the data of "Shoot the Shoot" have been declining continuously, which makes the atmosphere in the "Shoot the Shoot" project team particularly depressing. Everyone stares at the computer screen with a look of deep hatred, or bows their heads to rack their brains on the notebook and think hard.

Seeing this, Lu Yao called Zhu Junyan and asked him to come over. When Zhu Junyan arrived, he yawned and asked, "Master, what's the matter so late at night?"

He was tasting the new tea tonight and was halfway through when Lu Yao called him over.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Let you do what you are best at."

As he said this, he brought Zhu Junyan to the "Shoot" project team and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

After everyone stopped working, Lu Yao said with a smile, "Why do I feel like everyone looks so bad and the atmosphere here is so depressing when I come here?"

"In fact, there is no need to be too depressed, and there is no need to have too much pressure. We can make the industry's top penguin take such a big action against us. Isn't this our pride?"

Lu Yao's words brought smiles to the faces of many people in the project team, which was indeed something to be proud of.

The evaluation of "honor in defeat" is appropriate for them.

Even if their project team was disbanded and Lu Yao didn't want them anymore, as long as they had this resume, they would be looked up to no matter where they applied for a job.

Lu Yao shouted, "Okay, I'll treat you tonight, Master Zhu will take you guys out for some fun! Everyone, relax and all expenses will be charged to the company's account."

Zhu Junyan also laughed and said, "Just have fun playing with me! I don't dare to brag about other things, but I haven't seen many people in Shangnan who can play better than me."

Although Lu Yao and Zhu Junyan took the lead in saying this, there are still many managers who are hesitant.

You can play anytime.

But now is the critical period to compete with Penguin. Lu Yao found Chen Li, who was in charge of the "Shoot the Shoot" project, and advised: "A good and relaxed spirit can inspire more creativity. You take the lead."

Having said that, Chen Li stopped being pretentious and stood up and shouted, "Boss Lu is treating us. What else is there to say? Let's go!"

Having said that, Chen Li went down to pull people out personally.

After everyone was mobilized, Lu Yao said to Zhu Junyan: "I leave it to you, have fun tonight."

Zhu Junyan patted his chest loudly: "Master, don't worry about this. I may not be good at other things, but I am definitely good at playing! Why don't you come with me? We just got a new batch of good tea recently, why don't you try it?"

Lu Yao was happy: "Go quickly."

Wild tea does have a unique flavor, but the quality varies.

Being fed with so many delicious women around him, Lu Yao's taste had long become extremely picky.

After Zhu Junyan and all the members of the "Shoot" project team left, Lu Yao dragged an office chair to the floor-to-ceiling window of the company.

He sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, and then slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

In fact, he has the greatest pressure among all people.

Because of his experience of studying abroad in the future and because he has come to this point, Lu Yao has a sense of mission and pressure that he has given himself. He knows better than anyone where the opportunity to sit at the table for dinner is, and he wants to sit at the table for dinner more urgently than anyone else.

The huge benefits of the mobile game market and the Internet resources that can be leveraged behind it are the key to Lu Yao's success.

"call--"

Lu Yao tugged at his tie, as if this would really help him feel relieved.

The energy displayed by Penguin this time was truly amazing. In just two weeks, they defeated the game they had released two months earlier. This made Lu Yao realize that without sufficient social system support, the game business would become a tree without roots.

But as long as you dare to get involved in the social business, the penguin will suddenly rise up, reveal its man-eating face and fight you to the end.

This is the penguin's absolute Achilles' heel.

Just like the e-commerce business is Alibaba’s absolute Achilles’ heel, whoever touches it will basically die.

Unless you can find a giant of similar size to Alibaba to support you.

If Alibaba hadn't gone too far in 2020 and set the tone too high, causing it to fall from the clouds, there would have been basically no Douyin e-commerce or Pinxixi e-commerce.

Even if these two could survive, they would probably be about the same size as JD.com.

But as the Alibaba system fell from the clouds, one whale fell and all things came to life. After that, the scale of Douyin's e-commerce gradually grew, Pinxixi became the national brand, and e-commerce websites in niche areas such as Xiaohongshu and Dewu also began to prosper.

But in the social sphere...

The Rome of the social world has always been there and has not fallen.

Lu Yao exhaled another breath: "When a whale falls, all things come to life..."

After staying alone in the company for a while, Lu Yao got up and drove back.

When he returned to Sister Wang's apartment, Lu Yao opened the door and saw Sister Wang doing Pilates. She was wearing yoga pants and yoga clothes, which outlined her charming figure.

After hearing the noise of Lu Yao coming back, Wang Shu turned his head and looked at Lu Yao: "You're back."

Sister Wang stopped what she was doing, and when she saw Lu Yao's condition, the smile on her face froze for a moment: "Is work tiring this year?"

Lu Yao went straight to the sofa in the living room and threw himself into it, and his body fell with a "bang".

"Yes."

"a bit tired."

Lu Yao spoke a little weakly.

Sister Wang stopped training, sat on the sofa, and let Lu Yao rest his head on her long legs.

Sister Wang’s long legs were very soft, and her body was still filled with the heat from her training. The smell of Sister Wang also escaped and entered Lu Yao’s nostrils.

The unique maternal scent of an older woman had a special flavor that instantly relieved Lu Yao's tired state.

Sister Wang gently comforted Lu Yao, her voice gentle and soft: "Have a good rest, I'm always here."

Lu Yao turned over and buried his face in Sister Wang's arms, his voice muffled: "Yeah."

……

The next day, morning.

Last night, he poured all the excess energy that was aroused by Liang Yilan into Sister Wang.

Although Sister Wang kept making excuses saying that she was sweaty after exercising, sometimes women who have just finished exercising will exude a special charm.

Because Lu Yao kept her awake for too long, Sister Wang was still sleeping soundly after Lu Yao woke up.

After a simple wash, Lu Yao began to prepare breakfast. While making breakfast, he was browsing his mobile phone. He was looking forward to the reply from the invitation partner more than ever.

Only by obtaining the absolute management rights of the Incremental Advertising Alliance will he have greater bargaining chips for cooperation with ByteDance.

The cooperation with ByteDance still requires introduction from Shunwei Capital.

Although Shunwei Capital later held less than 2% of ByteDance's shares, Shunwei Capital and Morningside Venture Capital were the first to invest in ByteDance when the project was launched the year before last.

The amount of the first round of investment was not large, but after all, it was a token of our deep interest.

Now that ByteDance has just completed its Series C financing, this support should still be of some use.

But a day passed and there was still no message on Lu Yao's phone.

this is normal.

This kind of thing couldn't possibly produce results so quickly. Lu Yao felt that time was unbearable because he was anxious.

While Lu Yao was cooking and scrolling through his phone, he suddenly saw a message from Gao Chuning pop up in the MCN group: "Boss, boss, I'll ask for a few days off for Cheng Xinyu! She's sick!"

Lu Yao immediately replied: "OK."

Gao Chuning saw that Lu Yao replied immediately, so she privately chatted with Lu Yao and said, "I'm telling you, Cheng Xinyu is a fool. She has been sick for two or three days and she didn't rest and she even broadcast live while sick."

Lu Yao scratched his head: "She is too careless."

Gao Chuning complained, "She said that her career is on the rise now, and she also said that she didn't want to disappoint you. I think she has lost her mind from working so hard."

Lu Yao was ashamed.

After being treated as an emotional trash can by Gao Chuning for a long time, Lu Yao was finally let off.

After finishing breakfast with Sister Wang, Lu Yao drove out, bought medicine at a nearby pharmacy, bought some nutritional supplements and vegetables, and drove to Cheng Xinyu's home.

The door of Cheng Xinyu's house has a combination lock, and Lu Yao also knows the combination.

With the sound of unlocking the door, Lu Yao pushed open the door and entered Cheng Xinyu's house. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Cheng Xinyu's weak voice coming from the bedroom: "Who is it? Gao Gao?"

Lu Yao smiled gently and said, "It's me. I came to see you."

Cheng Xinyu did not respond to Lu Yao immediately. The empty and dim room suddenly seemed extremely lonely.

Lu Yao put down the nutritional supplements, then walked into the bedroom carrying the purchased medicine.

Only the night light and the ambient light were on in Cheng Xinyu's bedroom. The curtains were drawn tightly, and not a single ray of sunlight from outside could come in.

Seeing Lu Yao coming in, Cheng Xinyu pouted and looked particularly aggrieved.

Lu Yao said with a smile: "Why didn't you send me a message when you were sick?"

Cheng Xinyu huddled in bed, her voice a little muffled and hoarse: "It's not a serious illness, just a seasonal cold and fever. Boss, you are so busy, how can I bother you."

This is a complaint.

He has been really busy lately and has neglected many people.

But under normal circumstances, Cheng Xinyu would not complain like this, she is a very sensible woman.

It’s just that when people are sick, they are always particularly weak, and they tend to complain a little more, which is essentially a signal seeking attention and hugs.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I just looked at your table. Did you drink white porridge this morning?"

Cheng Xinyu still said sullenly: "Yeah, I don't have much appetite."

Lu Yao stood up and said, "Then I'll go make you something delicious. I heard from Gao Chuning that your symptoms should be a wind-heat cold. I'll make you something delicious to clear away the heat."

He stood up and turned on the speaker in Cheng Xinyu's home. After connecting to Bluetooth, he played relaxing music. Then he rolled up his sleeves, put on an apron, and cooked for Cheng Xinyu using the vegetables he brought.

Cheng Xinyu was curled up in bed, and through the bedroom door she could see Lu Yao busy outside.

After a while, the fragrance of food wafted out, which gradually made Cheng Xinyu feel a little hungry.

More than half an hour later, Lu Yao brought the prepared food to Cheng Xinyu's bedside on a plate: "Cook sweet potato and cabbage porridge, add a little salt and lard, both of which are heat-clearing. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Lu Yao held the bowl, blew on it gently, and waited until it was no longer so hot before feeding it to Cheng Xinyu.

Cheng Xinyu leaned against the head of the bed and ate slowly.

The originally dull eyes gradually became brighter.

By the time she finished her small bowl of porridge, Cheng Xinyu had already started to sweat on her forehead.

Lu Yao took out a thermometer and took Cheng Xinyu's temperature. It was almost 39 degrees. "Have a good rest. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to call me."

Cheng Xinyu suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart. Is he leaving now?

suddenly.

She raised her hand and grabbed Lu Yao's hand, her eyes blinking.

Cheng Xinyu said with a sly smile on her face: "Boss, my temperature is 39 degrees now~"

Lu Yao was stunned.

what?
Of course he knew that Cheng Xinyu's current body temperature was 39 degrees. It was normal to have a fever due to seasonal colds. Basically, after taking medicine, replenishing nutrition, and having a good rest when the temperature reached this level, the body temperature would go down quickly.

But Cheng Xinyu said so...

Obviously there is a deep meaning behind this!
