Chapter 200 The Time Is Almost Right (6k Subscription Request)

Ever since Lu Yao's business grew bigger, he rarely personally set up businesses and recruited people.

The tricks he knows are used to deal with villains, and conversely, those who use these tricks are also villains.

These tricks can only serve as supplements to the grand situation, but you can't make a fortune by relying on these means - of course, if you are really willing to sacrifice yourself, it will really make people lose sleep.

When you reach a certain level, direct competition among large groups will become a foundation.

Only when all positive tactics are no longer effective will similar tactics be brought to the table again.

For example, the 10Q war around 3 years ago.

During that Internet war, after being beaten by Penguin for a while, 360 directly launched the "QQ Bodyguard". QQ Bodyguard is a plug-in parasitic software developed by 360 that can prevent privacy leakage, account theft, filter ad pop-ups, and clean up QQ spam.

In those days, QQ's advertising revenue was the bulk of its income. 360's approach successfully took advantage of people's aversion to advertising and privacy leaks, and directly formed viral fission transmission in a short period of time.

But the more amazing thing about 360 is——

It actually regarded QQ as a security loophole and copied all the relationship chains on QQ to the 360 ​​platform.

In other words, all the social systems that QQ has operated so far will soon be parasitized and taken over by 360 and become 360's wedding dress.

How urgent was this matter back then?

Penguin's top management believes that if it is not stopped, QQ's social system will be completely destroyed in just one week, and 360 will become the new king of the social system.

This vicious move immediately made the penguin anxious.

That’s why there was the classic Internet scene of “catching people through the Internet cable”.

This move is a very typical means of setting up a scheme, and is also a trick that large groups later often used.

Penguin was completely defeated by 360 in terms of technical strength. After being unable to deal with 360's brutal method of parasitism and possession, they chose to use physical means to deal with 360.

It’s the same with Lu Yao now. Since he can’t compete with the others in terms of company accumulation, he can only set up a scheme to get rid of Penguin’s management.

Lu Yao smoked silently in the office. After a long while, he took out his cell phone and sent a message to Gan Xiaoxi: "Are you free tomorrow? I plan to set up a game in Shenzhen."

Gan Xiaoxi quickly replied excitedly: "I'm free for this kind of thing tonight! Come to my house!"

Lu Yao smiled, then picked up his coat and other belongings and went to Gan Xiaoxi's house.

Gan Xiaoxi now lives with Rong Nianqing in a large flat in Huasheng Life Plaza, so when Lu Yao went over, he saw Rong Nianqing and Gan Xiaoxi in the living room.

After opening the door for Lu Yao and leading him in, Gan Xiaoxi said as she walked in, "You've been under so much pressure lately. You look visibly haggard."

Lu Yao sat down on the sofa in the living room and sighed, "My opponent is Penguin, so it's normal for me to feel stressed."

Rong Nianqing was also reading emails behind the desk in the living room. When she heard Lu Yao say this, she stopped working, raised her eyes and said, "Don't force yourself when you can't bear it anymore. We can all help."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "That's why I don't come here."

Rong Nianqing shook her head: "I don't mean setting up a trap to cheat people. As Huasheng Life's e-commerce system and its self-operated logistics system gradually improve, we can be considered to have some weight on the Internet."

Lu Yao knew this.

Although Huasheng Life has not yet become as big as Taobao and JD.com, it has an excellent reputation among high-income people in cities.

For many products related to home hygiene and safety, many high-income people in urban areas will choose Huasheng Life.

Even because of the brand empowerment of "Dingsheyong" and "Xiaoyong", Huasheng Life's products give people a feeling of new Internet aristocrats. The naturally formed niche and high-taste brand positioning makes many urban petty bourgeoisie particularly fond of Huasheng Life's products.

However, because Huasheng Life's e-commerce sales are mainly focused on home furnishings, its product categories are far less comprehensive than those of Taobao and JD.com. In addition, given Rongjia's status, e-commerce giants are all tolerant of this new e-commerce force.

As a result, Huasheng Life's business on the Internet is getting smoother and smoother.

By building an e-commerce system, Huasheng Life even made Pangdonglai, which was trapped in Yuzhou Province, popular.

As Huasheng Life's e-commerce system becomes more and more mature, people's demand for various products is also increasing, but Huasheng Life's quality control is too strict, which makes many merchants unable to obtain the qualifications to list products on Huasheng Life's e-commerce software.

So Rong Nianqing integrated Boss Xu’s products into his own e-commerce system.

Although Lu Yao is no longer involved in the operation of Huasheng Life, he knows the general information.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I can still hold on for now, but you should make sure to make a good statement. With the emergence of e-commerce and even new Internet sales, many products listed on your shelves are likely to be sold under your names."

This is the "AB" product that became popular in Internet sales. Later, some e-commerce platforms even used two warehouses, one real and one fake, to ship goods.

In big cities, knowledgeable places will send out genuine goods, while in small counties or towns, fake goods will be sent out.

Although live streaming sales have not yet become popular, we still have to be on guard against it.

After being reminded by Lu Yao, Rong Nianqing frowned and nodded: "The issue you mentioned is indeed very important. I will implement this matter when I go to work tomorrow."

Gan Xiaoxi came over with a cup of hot tea: "Didn't you say you were setting up a trap to trick others? Why are you two still chatting about it?"

Lu Yao took the hot tea and said with a smile: "It's actually very simple. Just like last time, just help me spread some unfounded rumors among Penguins."

Gan Xiaoxi immediately lost interest: "Spreading rumors again, can you come up with something new?"

Lu Yao took a sip of tea and said quietly: "One trick can conquer the world."

Rong Nianqing was also spinning the pen in her hand. "Rumors are indeed a very useful method. Last time, you asked Sister Jian and Xiaoxi to help you spread rumors, hoping that Zeng Lun would catch the promotion news from the top and stimulate his competitive spirit."

"What about this time?"

Rong Nianqing spun the pen while guessing, "Then I guess you are most likely going to spread rumors this time, and it's about Chen Yu. Hmm~ The purpose is probably to stimulate his competitive spirit."

"So what is your real intention? Are you trying to sow discord between Chen Yu and Zeng Lun and intensify their conflict? Or are you planning to use Chen Yu as a weapon to target Yao Qiguang, who you had been trying to influence for a long time?"

Lu Yao smiled at Gan Xiaoxi and said, "Look at President Ren Rong. He has been playing with me for too long and has become a black sheep."

Rong Nianqing narrowed her eyes and tilted her head to look at Lu Yao. How come this guy was so cruel that he even scolded himself?
Gan Xiaoxi shrank back with a look of disgust on her face: "I just like to have fun, I don't want to become as cruel as you guys."

Rong Nianqing narrowed her eyes and looked at Gan Xiaoxi again. Why is she scolding me too?
It turns out that this kind of thing of setting up a trap to cheat others is not something that ordinary people can do. If you want to become a professional veteran in this field, you must at least lose your conscience.

Just being scolded by Lu Yao and Gan Xiaoxi made Rong Nianqing feel the same as when President Ma was scolded on the cover of Computer World magazine. As soon as that issue of Computer World was published, President Ma immediately convened a president's office meeting, and the meeting room was eerily silent for the first fifteen minutes of the meeting.

Only Mr. Ma was muttering to himself: "How can they curse at me?"

"How can they curse so harshly?"

Lü Yao said with a smile: "This time the rumors have two main directions and contents. The first is to spread that Zeng Lun has a higher chance of being promoted, and then to say that the main reason Zeng Lun was able to get promoted is because he has a strong background."

Rong Nianqing understood immediately after hearing this: "My goodness, you want to do both? Isn't that too shady?"

Gan Xiaoxi's simple train of thought was a little confusing: "Huh?"

Why do you have to do both?

Gan Xiaoxi's confused and bewildered expression was just like the black scribbled MEME cat that later appeared on the Internet.

Rong Nianqing explained to Gan Xiaoxi: "When similar rumors reach the ears of Chen Yu and Zeng Lun, Chen Yu will be very dissatisfied and hostile to Zeng Lun. If Yao Qiguang runs into Chen Yu's gun in the competition of the same category of products at the same time, Chen Yu will also target Yao Qiguang."

Gan Xiaoxi was a little skeptical: "Is it really that weird?"

Lu Yao smiled and said nothing.

Human beings are complex but very easy to judge.

When a normal man sees a beautiful woman, his hormones are stimulated and he will be attracted to her. However, when stress levels increase and anxiety runs high, he will become nervous and his movements will become distorted due to nervousness.

When faced with such a big event as a promotion in a large group, it is not surprising that the hot-tempered Chen Yu would do anything because of the pressure, because the pressure does not come from rumors in essence, but from the top.

This game-setting method combines multiple techniques together. In the book, it can be called "Buddha's Hand Pushing Waves Double Kill Game".

It sounds mysterious, but the technique seems very simple.

But this requires the person setting up the game to be able to influence the situation to a certain extent, and then have a clear understanding of the goal of the game, and also have sufficient understanding of the network of relationships and events surrounding the target of the game.

After hearing this, Gan Xiaoxi said as if to challenge him: "I'll help you with this. I want to see if it's really that effective."

Lu Yao put down the teacup and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gan. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first."

Rong Nianqing kicked the table leg lightly, then stepped back from the desk and said, "Let's go later. Xiaoxi and I have an appointment for a home SPA service later. I just booked one for you. You can finish here before going back."

Gan Xiaoxi's large flat is over 200 square meters. In addition to guest rooms, kitchen, bathroom, and cloakroom, it also has an audio-visual entertainment room and a physiotherapy room.

Since Rong Nianqing had already subscribed, Lu Yao certainly had nothing to say and just stayed here to enjoy himself.

When it comes to enjoyment, girls are better at it.

After a set of professional massage therapies, Lu Yao felt like a piece of dough that was gradually rising. With the essential oil massage and long-term massage and relaxation, the accumulated fatigue in his body and the congested and tense lymph nodes were relaxed.

Lu Yao, who had been tense for several days, gradually began to feel drowsy.

It seems that people are particularly prone to falling asleep when doing facial, washing hair, etc.

When a series of projects were completed and the only thing left was the head massage, Lu Yao fell asleep while being massaged.

When Lu Yao woke up again, he found that he had slept in the therapy room of Gan Xiaoxi's house until more than ten o'clock in the morning of the next day. When Lu Yao walked out of the therapy room in his pajamas, Rong Nianqing and Gan Xiaoxi had already finished breakfast and were busy with their own things in the living room.

Seeing Lu Yao coming out, Gan Xiaoxi greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Lu." "You slept soundly."

Lu Yao stretched his body lazily, feeling particularly refreshed, as if he was clear inside and out. He had a really good sleep.

Sure enough, even though he is now wealthy, his enjoyment is still nothing compared to these old money.

Lu Yao walked to the kitchen area of ​​Gan Xiaoxi's house and made himself a cup of coffee using her coffee machine: "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

Gan Xiaoxi shook her phone and said, "Let me order takeout for you."

Lu Yao didn't take it seriously: "Thank you~"

But after a while, when the takeaway was brought up, Lu Yao looked at the luxuriously packaged takeaway set and suddenly felt something was wrong. Is this a takeaway?

Why is there someone who looks like a chef coming over to help with the preparation?

After the chef finished his work, a takeaway breakfast that was delicious and tasty was presented in front of Lu Yao.

Sitting at the dining table, Lu Yao smiled speechlessly: "You call this takeout?"

Rong Nianqing also said: "Don't be picky if the conditions are limited."

Lu Yao was a little bit annoyed. How could he be picky? President Rong, you must have misunderstood me!

He picked up a bowl of golden soup, millet and seafood stew and took a sip. It tasted really good.

While drinking, Lu Yao said, "You two don't eat like this when you live here, do you?"

Gan Xiaoxi said nonchalantly: "I also dine there occasionally."

Lu Yao made Wu Yu smile again. It turned out that having money and being very rich are two different things. If it weren't for the fact that the 200-square-meter apartment here was too small, they should have a dedicated housekeeper to take care of meals and housework.

hateful!

Lu Yao thought again about the life he had been leading recently, staying at the company all day... What was the difference between this and studying abroad and working as a slave in the future?
Rong Nianqing saw the deep hatred in Lu Yao, so she smiled and said, "I told you to move your company to our Huasheng Life. The chefs in the cafeteria at Huasheng Life are all very good."

Lu Yao does feel a little regretful now.

After finishing the breakfast with resentment, Rong Nianqing asked someone to send a set of suitable clothes to Lu Yao, and then let him take yesterday's dirty clothes back.

Before leaving, Rong Nianqing also reminded: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, be nice to yourself."

Lu Yao waved his hand: "I know."

……

Gan Xiaoxi acted quickly. After Lu Yao finished talking to him, she immediately began to arrange people to go to the Penguin Park to spread rumors.

Spreading rumors is a relatively simple thing, but spreading them without leaving any trace actually requires quite a bit of skill.

There are skills in how the rumor is spread, who says it first, and how to guide it later.

Gan Xiaoxi is already a veteran at the execution level.

After she handed down the task, someone would naturally find a way to spread the rumor.

For example, they could find out the outdoor rest area where the penguin park usually has breaks, and then have two people dress up as penguin employees and deliberately gossip in a loud voice; or they could start with the top management to add icing on the cake for Zeng Lun, thereby creating credibility for the rumor.

Through a multi-pronged approach, quite a few rumors soon emerged from the Penguin side.

First of all, there have been a lot more people coming to Zeng Lun's home recently, and there were even people saying "Congratulations in advance to Zeng Lun for becoming a senior executive of Penguin". Then the news of Zeng Lun's promotion began to spread in the Penguin park.

Then the version of the rumor began to become more and more distorted, and the content became more and more wild.

For example, "Zeng Lun was able to be promoted so quickly because his family has strong connections and a strong background."

There is also "The original person who should have been promoted was Chen Yu, but he was rejected because his background was not strong enough."

Then the rumor version began to automatically iterate, becoming "Not only does Chen Yu's background not exist strongly enough, his performance and abilities are not strong enough either, which is why he was replaced by Zeng Lun from the new project team."

Similar rumors are like an undercurrent in the penguin park. Whenever this undercurrent hits any "reef", it will cause some changes due to the impact.

At first, no one paid attention to this rumor.

This was nothing but wild speculation from the outside world, rumors spread by subordinates, a discussion within a department, and the unrest among the people in a business group, until this rumor began to be closely related to everyone.

Zeng Lun is still relatively weak now, so if he goes over to show his goodwill now, will he gain greater rewards in the future?

Executives from other business groups besides the Interactive Entertainment Group have also begun to wonder whether they should build up their personal connections in advance?
Even within the Light Studio, many technical backbones are beginning to feel uneasy. According to the promotion practice within the group, Zeng Lun should first take over the Light Studio and then be promoted to the management level of the Interactive Entertainment Business Group.

Does that mean that the boss of Guangliang Studio will be replaced?

Under the influence of rumors, people in Guangliang Studio have been in a state of unrest recently, and everyone looks at Chen Yu a little differently.

In 2014, Chen Yu was still very young. He became the top grassroots manager of Penguin at a very young age. He also had a good background and his future was limitless.

Such people are proud and conceited.

However, when Zeng Lun, who also had a strong background and was more capable than him, appeared, the outside world's rumors were biased towards Zeng Lun, so that many people in Guangliang Studio began to look at Chen Yu with strange eyes.

If Chen Yu could keep his composure and remain calm, he would really deserve a thumbs up.

Especially under such rumors, the resources of the group's channels began to lean towards Zeng Lun intentionally or unintentionally, and Chen Yu's anger began to gradually deepen.

These people in charge of operations have their brains soaked in a septic tank!
Can't they see that these are all unfounded rumors?

In fact, how could those who can become middle-level executives of Penguin be all fools? This group of people have brains comparable to those of the top EQ experts in the system.

Of course they also know that these are all rumors.

But any rumor is not groundless.

Zeng Lun's recent performance is obvious to all in the group. At the group's high-level meeting, it was clearly stated that Zeng Lun's project team should be supported. Even Mr. Ren, the boss of the interactive entertainment business group, came to talk to Zeng Lun.

All signs indicate that Zeng Lun does have great potential.

To take a step back, even if Zeng Lun has no potential, using the group's resources to do favors, isn't that a matter of course?
They were not sure whether it was true that Zeng Lun was favored by the top management, but they were also not sure whether the news that the top management favored Zeng Lun and wanted to promote him was false.

and so.

It would be better to treat him as real and try to gain some personal favor first.

Anyway, the worst outcome is not that bad.

When Chen Yu used his connections to find his people in the group and talked to them, and finally got such a reply, his mentality was like a balloon that was being blown up continuously. The inner pressure and the strength of the balloon almost reached a critical value.

People from other departments of Penguin tried to comfort Chen Yu, telling him that he didn't need to argue about the short term, as if there was no chance this time, he could try next time.

But how can a young person bear this? If he could bear this, he would not be a young man full of youth.

Chen Yu was still competing with Zeng Lun openly or covertly, and even resorted to underhanded tactics to hinder Zeng Lun's review and progress.

After all, Zeng Lun's project team is under his studio, and a lot of resource and manpower transfers have to go through him. As a result, the relationship between the two sides became very strained.

As the situation within Guangliang became increasingly tense, Yao Qiguang moved around like a mouse in the darkness, trying to grab some resources from the scraps left over from the fight between the two of them.

It took Mr. Ren more than a year to invite Yao Qiguang to join Penguin.

So he still has some favor towards Mr. Ren.

Relying on the competitive strategy of raising Gu at the same time as well as the good popularity he had accumulated over time, Yao Qiguang was able to obtain some resources.

But this amount of resources is actually a drop in the bucket for the release of the game.

Because the bulk of the resources are now occupied by "Legend of the Brave", and the Penguin account will be launched soon after "Legend of the Brave". Although the Penguin account is still under construction, the news about the Penguin account has been released through various channels.

The promotion priority of Penguin Account is even higher than that of "Legend of the Brave". There are even rumors within Penguin that in order to build the Penguin Account content platform, Penguin will invest "10 billion in cash" to make it bigger and stronger.

At the same time, Penguin has made so many moves, especially building the "Penguin" from scratch.

In this case, the resources allocated to "a certain project" of the "Game Studio" under the "Interactive Entertainment Business Group" are very limited.

Especially since there are three projects competing for resources at the same time...

Under such circumstances, Yao Qiguang was in a difficult situation.

But even though Yao Qiangguang was humble enough to pick up other people's leftover food scraps, his humility did not win him more tolerance.

When Yao Qiguang came out from the floor of other departments again and met Chen Yu, Chen Yu pulled him aside and whispered something to him.

What they talked about is unknown to others.

All I know is that Yao Qiguang's face looked very ugly after he finished talking to Chen Yu.

When the news reached Lu Yao's ears, he knew -

The time is almost here.
