Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 392 Sitting by the river, waiting for the enemy's corpses to float by

"Guli, come here."

Gulnazar was wiping the front desk table when she heard the voice and immediately looked up: "Ah, yes, Mr. Li."

She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was only 9:30.

She followed Li Jing into a small cubicle.

After she closed the door, Li Jing said, "President Chen has returned to China, you knew that, right?"

"Ah, yes, I know." Gulnazar immediately became nervous. Actually, she had gone to bed early last night and only saw it this morning while browsing Weibo on the subway.

Why is it that Mr. Li suddenly brought this up with her now?
"President Chen's trip back to China this time was short, and he had a lot to handle. The company is planning to send someone to accompany him and help him with some of the trivial matters..."

Upon hearing this, Gulnazar became immediately excited.

"President Qi asked me if I had any suitable candidates, and I recommended you. Now I just want to ask you, you..."

Before Li Jing could even finish speaking, Gulnazar blurted out, "President Li, I'm willing!"

Li Jing wasn't surprised that Gulnazar agreed so quickly.

This was originally a chance she gave the other party; only a fool would refuse.

As for the reason,

On the one hand, after that conversation, the girl was always the first one to arrive at the company before 9:30 every day to tidy up the front desk and wipe the tables.

Li Jing also felt that it would be a real waste for a girl like her not to be in the entertainment industry.

On the other hand, even with such good looks, it would be a real pity if she didn't have a benefactor to help her.

Li Jing then said earnestly, "This is a rare opportunity, so you must perform well, understand? Try to get President Chen to say a word to President Qi or me before he leaves... Do you understand?"

Gulnazar nodded frantically, "Yes! Mr. Li, thank you, thank you. I will, I will, as long as I repay you in the future, I swear."

Gulnazar felt her face must be very red, because her whole body was hot, and her tongue seemed to be out of control, making it difficult to utter a complete sentence.

Li Jing nodded and said, "When you're working for President Chen, you have to be observant. You can't look at things you shouldn't see, you can't listen to things you shouldn't hear, and you have to forget things you shouldn't know. Can you do that?"

Gulnazar nodded eagerly: "I can do it."

"I remember you have a driver's license and can drive, right?"

"Yes, I will."

"President Chen has given his driver a holiday. Although, in principle, President Qi is supposed to drive him, but if you were asked to drive, could you handle it?"

"Yes, no problem."

"Okay, that's settled then. I'll tell Mr. Chen when he and the others arrive at the company."

"Okay, thank you, thank you Mr. Li, thank you so much." Gulnazar bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.

Li Jing smiled and nodded, saying, "Good luck." Then she left.

Gulnazar stood still for a moment.

Her chest heaved, then her nose stung, her eyes welled up, and her vision blurred.

The hard work of the past few months has finally paid off.

at last!

Gulnazar clenched her fists and made a firm decision in her heart: no matter what, she couldn't let this opportunity slip away.

Otherwise, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life!
……

……

Chen Nuo was not surprised that "No Man's Land" could not pass censorship.

To his surprise, even China Film Group couldn't handle it?

He initially thought that perhaps President Han harbored some resentment towards him, which was why he was unwilling to put in the effort.

However, I only found out after calling last night that it wasn't actually Mr. Han's fault.

This is because at the beginning of this year, the country introduced a new policy requiring film and television works to "tell Chinese stories well and spread positive energy".

And the no-man's-land, unfortunately, happened to run right into the line of fire.

Han Sanping, the general manager, was woken up in the middle of the night, but he wasn't angry. He spoke sincerely on the phone, "I really have no choice. More than 2000 million yuan of China Film Group's money is in this film, so I can't ignore it. Right now, the only thing we can do is to push through this because of your influence, Xiao Chen, and see if we can make an exception. Otherwise, no matter how many revisions we make, it probably won't be able to get it released."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo, who had originally planned to rest for a while and then go the next day, decided to act quickly.

Unexpectedly, before I had even fully woken up, I received a call from the company saying that Mr. Yu from Huawei had arrived and had traveled a long way just to see him.

After hanging up the phone, the woman beside him was awakened by his voice. She groggily opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter? Are you leaving?"

Chen Nuo hummed in agreement, "Yes, something's up." Then she started looking for clothes.

The woman pulled back the covers, hugged his waist tightly, buried her head in his lower abdomen, and murmured, "Now that you're gone, it will be a long time before we see each other again."

Chen Nuo didn't seem to feel anything.

After all, the affairs of the world, after a long period of division, tend to unite; after a long period of unity, tend to divide.

Including last night, he was originally planning to go home to sleep, but Tong Liya was going to Hengdian to film today. She was packing her things quite late last night, and just then she saw the news that he was back. She waited for him until 3 a.m., so he had to come over and explain things to her.

He patted the woman's hair and said, "Go and film well. This is your first time playing the lead role, so seize the opportunity."

Chen Nuo didn't know if Tong Liya had filmed "Beauty World" in her previous life, but this time, she was able to win the lead role in the competition between Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, which should be thanks to "Let the Bullets Fly".

This can be considered a change of fate.

Tong Liya did not respond.

Without any prior notice, she directly used the technique she had just learned, just like a kitten licking its mother's milk.

However, I'm still not very skilled at the movements, and I feel a slight toothache.

Chen Nuo looked down at her bare back. In the morning light filtering through the curtains, her skin glowed with a faint honey-colored sheen, so delicate it seemed as if one could squeeze water from it. Her lower back was slightly sunken, forming a graceful, contoured curve with the exposed cleft of her buttocks.

His fingertips unconsciously slid down her hair, touching her warm skin.

The symptoms hadn't subsided by this morning, but now the reaction has gotten even worse.

Chen Nuo thought about it and realized that Huawei was not yet far ahead, so it didn't seem like a problem to let President Yu wait.
……

……

If it were anyone else who made Yu Chengdong wait for more than an hour, President Yu certainly wouldn't be in the mood to have lunch with him.

But this time.

The U8800 has made great strides in the European and American markets. In just over 10 days, Huawei North America has requested two additional shipments. It can be said that in the low-to-mid-range market, it has taken a huge chunk of Nokia and Motorola's market share.

At the internal meeting a few days ago, everyone involved in this decision-making process, from him to Li Yaoming in the marketing department, was praised by President Ren.

This can be said to have given their consumer business group a huge boost of pride within Huawei.

Whose blessing is this all thanks to?
"Sorry, I was delayed by traffic. Hello, Mr. Yu."

What pleased Yu Chengdong even more was that the other party recognized him immediately upon meeting him, without waiting for an introduction.

Sensing Chen Nuo's high regard for his side, Yu Chengdong smiled even more broadly, "Hello, President Chen. I've long admired your name and wanted to meet you for a long time. Now my wish has finally come true."

"Haha, Mr. Yu, you're too kind. Why don't you introduce your colleagues from Huawei first?"

"Okay, this is..."

After exchanging greetings, Chen Nuo, seeing that it was getting late, invited the other party to have a friendly working lunch at Huanxin.

After finishing their meal and returning to the conference room, the two sides officially began their conversation. Only then did Chen Nuo realize that President Yu had come with such a large entourage not for any other reason than to invite him to be the global product ambassador for the U8800.

The offer was $5 million for a two-minute commercial.

Gulnazar, who was taking meeting notes nearby, trembled involuntarily upon hearing this.

Her eyes widened, and she subconsciously calculated in her mind: 1 US dollar is about 6.5 RMB, so 500 million US dollars is... 3250 million RMB!

How many days does it take to film a 2-minute commercial? Three days at most? Earning 3250 million in three days!
She recalled that when she first started modeling, she only earned 500 yuan a day shooting commercials, and her agent would take half of that.

She secretly glanced up at Chen Nuo.

He remained calm, but a slight smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. It wasn't a happy or smug smile, but rather a smile that suggested he found it quite amusing.

At that moment, Gulnazar's heart raced. Actually, just like Dilraba, she grew up in Xinjiang and was used to seeing handsome men with high noses and deep-set eyes, so she's quite immune to them.

But at this moment, she bit her lip, lowered her head and pretended to continue taking notes, but she couldn't calm down.

……

When Chen Nuo heard the offer of $500 million plus a 2-minute commercial, he was stunned for a moment.

He tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help but laugh.

Not only Gulnazar, but everyone in the conference room, including Li Jing, Qi Yuntian, and the Huawei staff, were puzzled by his laughter and didn't know what was so funny.
After thinking it over, there can only be one reason: they think it's not enough.

Even though Yu Dazui was grateful to Chen Nuo, his face couldn't help but darken. Even if he thought it was too little, did he really deserve such blatant mockery to his face?
He suppressed his temper and reluctantly said, "Mr. Chen, if you feel the price is not right, we can discuss it slowly."

Chen Nuo waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, this is quite a lot of money. Mr. Yu, I'm sorry, it's just that I remembered something and I thought it was a bit funny."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chengdong couldn't help but ask, "Oh? What is it? Can you share it? Is it related to us?"

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "I don't know either, it might be a coincidence. Anyway, before I returned to China, a friend of mine told me that he recently accepted an advertisement for a mobile phone company in China, which is also a product endorsement, but it's still confidential."

"But I have a good relationship with him, and we talked about this on the phone. Well, it's quite a coincidence that he also got a product endorsement deal worth $500 million for a 2-minute commercial. Haha, Mr. Yu, so when I heard that just now, I felt like you guys were copying and pasting each other, haha, it's quite interesting."

At this moment, Li Yaoming, who had come with Yu Chengdong, shouted in his heart: Damn it, right, it's all over, it's all over, it's all over!

Yu Chengdong glanced at Li Yaoming, who had lowered his head, and immediately knew what was going on. His face darkened instantly.

Huawei had never hired a spokesperson of this caliber before, so it was inevitable that they would adopt some practices from their industry peers.

However, copying it verbatim resulted in being caught red-handed and exposed.

It’s so embarrassing!
But Chen Nuo didn't want to embarrass his guest, so he immediately chuckled and smoothed things over, saying, "Actually, it's a small matter."

"However, I can only thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yu, but I think we should cooperate again next time. There are two reasons. First, you just did product placement at the Oscars, and if I immediately take on your endorsement, there might be some controversy in the public opinion."

"Secondly, while the U8800 is good, I look forward to even better products from you."

After leaving Huanxin Company after the meeting.

Li Yaoming glanced at Yu Chengdong. Although nothing had been agreed upon, Yu's expression was still acceptable, so he nervously took the initiative to confess, "Mr. Yu, it's my fault. I did indeed ask a friend..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Chengdong interrupted, "Which manufacturer is it? Who did they hire?"

Li Yaoming immediately replied, "OPPO, Leonardo DiCaprio."

Yu Chengdong nodded in realization and said, "No wonder."

Li Yaoming said embarrassedly, "President Yu, it's all my fault..."

Yu Chengdong shook his head and said, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with you. It's just that they look down on us. Let's go back. Next time we come, we'll make sure they look at us with new eyes!"

……

……

The Huawei team has left.

To be honest, Chen Nuo now understands why Huawei will be so successful in the future. And why, despite the United States' strong desire to kill it, it still survives.

Putting everything else aside, just look at their efficiency and the scale of their actions. How many companies can do that?

He didn't even blink at the $500 million; it was clearly a gift to him.

Whether he agrees or not is another matter, but this approach at least makes people feel better.

If a similar situation arises again, I would naturally be willing to lend a helping hand again.

As for why he refused.

The two reasons he mentioned are not wrong. If he signed with Huawei, there would inevitably be some rumors and gossip. Also, the U8800 phone is really too bad, and he really feels ashamed.

But there's one more crucial point he didn't mention.

That is because he was photographed by some paparazzi using an iPhone, so Apple sent him a message saying that Steve Jobs was going to ask him to meet.

In this way, even if he is short of money, he will definitely have to postpone it for a while.

Besides, he wasn't short of money. Although Apple's stock price had dropped slightly in the past two months due to Jobs' health issues, $500 million was still nothing to him.

"It's almost 3 o'clock now. Should I make an appointment with the people from the broadcasting station? Tell them we'll come over right away?" Qi Yuntian asked.

Chen Nuo nodded and said, "Okay, let's make a date..."

Before Chen Nuo could finish speaking, a colleague from the public opinion department suddenly pushed open the door and said, "President Chen, President Qi, there's just been news that a major earthquake has occurred in Japan. Should we discuss how to respond?"

Qi Yuntian asked in surprise, "A major earthquake? How big exactly?"

"It's said to be around level 9."

Please quiet down in the meeting room.

Qi Yuntian nodded and said, "Okay, we understand. You can go out now."

"Ok."

The colleague left, and the meeting room door closed. Li Jing immediately said, "Level 9, such a huge disaster. Out of humanitarian considerations, President Chen's account must respond; otherwise, it will definitely attract criticism."

Chen Nuo nodded and said, "Go ahead and do it. Send it now. I'll make a few calls."

In 2011, the Great Kanto Earthquake struck Japan as predicted, triggering a tsunami and nuclear meltdown that continues to impact the world for over a decade. The issue of nuclear wastewater is particularly concerning…

Forget it.

But at this moment, Chen Nuo, a native of Xichuan, still felt a pang of sadness and wanted to call his friends there to say hello.

However, it was difficult to get through on the phone; it took about an hour to finally make the call.

The three islands of Japan were in a state of panic at this moment. After all, the fifth largest earthquake in recorded history had suddenly occurred. Who could bear it? Chen Nuo felt some sympathy for them, and also wanted to be there in person to see it for himself.

In short, the complex mentality of the Chinese people is once again reflected in him.

Takeshi Kitano, Tomokazu Miura, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Eri Miyazawa, and others, including Saburo Ohno, chairman of the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Some calls went through, some didn't, and all I could do was send a text message.

Those who received his call were all very excited. Miyazawa Eri burst into tears on the phone, and Kitano Takeshi's voice choked with emotion.

When Chen Nuo finally got through to the Ayaka and Ayaka sisters on the phone, the twins were sobbing uncontrollably. This forced Chen Nuo to promise that once he finished his business in China, he would definitely stop in Japan to visit them before going to the United States.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we last met, so it's definitely time to send my regards.

After he finished his call, he turned around and found that the conference room was empty. Qi Yuntian and Li Jing had probably gone out to do other things. After all, Huanxin was now a large and powerful company, and for matters of this level, they had to keep a close eye on official media and respond at any time.

Only the company's pretty receptionist is still there.

He had actually noticed it before.

This woman was clearly from XJ as well. He felt that her exotic face looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen her before, just like when he first saw Nini.

This is all because in his previous life he genuinely rarely watched idol dramas and paid little attention to the domestic entertainment industry. While Gulnazar is beautiful, her recognizability isn't as high as the other one.

"Are you new here?"

“Yes!” Gulnazar nodded vigorously.

"What's your name?"

“Gulinazarbaihetiyar. Mr. Chen, you can just call me Guli.”

"Gulnazar..." Chen Nuo read it aloud, and if he still didn't understand, he really would be a pig. "Your name is Gulnazar!?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

……

……

Tsk tsk, Chen Nuo never imagined that one day Gulnazar would be his driver. It seems Linghu can really stay in Long'an for a few more days and spend more time with his wife and kids.

Moreover, his driving skills seem pretty good; at least he drives the Cayenne that Porsche gave him quite steadily.

This was his second visit to Sina's headquarters since signing the contract.

After dealing with Huawei one day, he's at Sina the next. He's constantly dealing with these tech companies. Meanwhile, there's not a single step forward with his own film project. Chen Nuo is truly exasperated.

Unbeknownst to him, when he arrived, Sina Weibo's shareholders' meeting had already been going on for half an hour.

Without a doubt, Cao Guowei did it on purpose.

The atmosphere in the conference room was already tense.

Cao Guowei sat in the main seat, his face calm.

Shareholders have been debating the issue of Alibaba's investment in Weibo for almost 40 minutes, but have yet to reach an agreement.

“I still think Alibaba’s valuation is too low!” Zhang Mingyuan of Sequoia Capital slammed his hand on the table, his tone clearly dissatisfied. “Weibo now has over 5 million users and more than 7000 million daily active users, and its valuation is only $25 billion? Alibaba is clearly trying to drive down the price!”

Sitting across from him, Li Ruolan sneered. She was a representative of China Renaissance Capital, a leading investment bank in China's new economy sector, which was the matchmaker between Weibo and Alibaba.

"Mr. Zhang, you're too optimistic. Weibo has a lot of users now, but what about its profit model? Advertising revenue only accounts for 18% of Sina's total revenue, which is only $6000 million a year. Alibaba is willing to give 25 billion, which is already very sincere. If you ask for 40 billion, they'll turn around and leave, do you believe it?"

“I don’t like what Mr. Li said,” Wang Zhiqiang of FountainVest Partners interjected. “The potential of Weibo is undeniable! Alibaba knows better than anyone how valuable user data is to e-commerce. Their current price-cutting is simply an attempt to gain an advantage. If we give in, how will we negotiate terms later?”

“Potential is potential, but reality is reality,” Li Ruolan retorted. “You all know how fast Weibo is burning through cash. Last year, its operating costs alone reached $1.2 million, and this year they’re going to double. Alibaba’s investment will at least bring us financial and technical support, helping us to compete with Tencent. Don’t forget, Tencent is eyeing us like a hawk!”

"It's right to fight against Tencent, but we can't sell it off cheaply!" Zhang Mingyuan raised his voice. "President Cao, say something! You're the CEO, you have to make the decision!"

Cao Guowei sighed dramatically, looking troubled. “I understand what everyone means. Valuation is indeed a problem, but strategic cooperation is more important. Alibaba’s e-commerce resources and data capabilities can help Weibo find a profit point more quickly. However, I also agree with Mr. Zhang’s opinion that 25 billion is indeed too low. I’ve communicated with Alibaba before, and they can only raise it to 30 billion US dollars at most, but on the premise that we have to give up more control.”

"Impossible!" Zhang Mingyuan shouted. "We would never let a wolf into our house!"

Li Ruolan sneered, "President Zhang, if you're going to be this stubborn, we'll be swallowed up by Tencent sooner or later! 30 billion is already pretty good. Alibaba can also bring traffic and monetization capabilities. You insist on 40 billion. If we miss this opportunity, what will happen to Weibo? Will we burn through cash until we go bankrupt?"

Zhang Mingyuan angrily said, "Li Ruolan, stop spreading alarmist rumors! We worked hard to build Weibo, why should Alibaba benefit from it?! Let me tell you, we will never agree to this."

The atmosphere in the meeting room grew increasingly tense. The two domestic investor representatives, Zhang Mingyuan and Li Ruolan, each had their own supporters, and the two sides were locked in a dispute. Meanwhile, the other foreign institutions remained calm and composed, offering almost no opinions.

This has been the norm at Sina's shareholders' meeting this week.

In the past, Cao Guowei would have been driven crazy by the noise, but now, he just occasionally looks up at his watch, and doesn't seem worried at all.

At 10:34, a secretary wearing a pencil skirt suddenly pushed open the conference room door, and Cao Guowei's eyes lit up immediately.

When his secretary nodded to him, Cao Guowei cleared his throat and said, "Alright, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. We have an important shareholder here today. He hasn't attended the previous meetings, so let's hear his opinion first."

"Mr. Cao, who is it?"

"Who didn't come?"

"Haven't these always been the same people?"

"Yes, everyone's here."

"No one failed to come."

"Holy crap! Is it Chen...?"

Zhang Mingyuan suddenly called out.

He only said half of what he wanted to say, but the entire conference room immediately fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, an even bigger uproar erupted.

"Is Chen Nuo coming today?"

"Mr. Cao, why didn't you notify us in advance?"

"No way? Really? Is it really him?"

"Hasn't he never come to participate?"

"Damn, look at Old Cao's expression, no need to ask, it must be the reinforcements he brought!"

Finally, someone's words jolted everyone awake. Looking up, they saw Cao Guowei's nonchalant demeanor, and suddenly everyone realized what was going on. Indeed! Chen Nuo's arrival today—who would believe it had nothing to do with him?

The problem is that Lao Cao has been vague these past two days, and hasn't made any statement about which side he's on.

If Chen Nuo is a savior, then which side's savior is he?

Zhang Mingyuan and Li Ruolan exchanged glances in the air.

Two minutes later,
The secretary and another office manager suddenly pushed the door open.

A young man wearing a gray trench coat walked in alongside two Weibo executives whom everyone recognized, Peng Shaobing and Gao Fei.

Cao Guowei took the lead in standing up and clapping, saying, "Come on, everyone, let's welcome President Chen."

At this moment, both groups of people in the conference room, regardless of which institution's investors they were from, even the representatives of Dimensional Fund Advisors and T. Rowe Price, two foreign institutions that had remained silent until now, all stood up and began to applaud with smiles on their faces.

It's not his fame, nor his 5%+5% shareholding, that makes him Weibo's largest individual shareholder.

This applause is for those who, over the past two years, have used the Spring Festival Gala, the Oscars, and every single Weibo post to attract countless followers, gradually trampling seemingly insurmountable rivals under their feet.

This is dedicated to the first super influencer to surpass 10 million followers. During this Oscar extravaganza, the sheer volume of discussion even inspired the operations team to create the Sina Weibo Super Topic, a brand-new social media feature.

Gulnazar was at the back and witnessed this scene firsthand.

In the spacious and modern conference room, the long table was covered with documents and laptops, and the projection screen on the wall displayed pages filled with dense data.

The moment she saw it, she was almost instinctively filled with awe.

This is the headquarters of Sina Weibo.

Gulnazar, a minor internet celebrity model with 3.6 followers on Weibo, felt a sense of trepidation at that moment, like an employee who constantly complains about the company and boss being invited to his mansion. Upon seeing the three-story building with its garden and swimming pool, she felt a sudden surge of trepidation.

However, Gulnazar immediately saw that in this solemn conference room, all the men and women dressed in formal attire and exuding an air of authority suddenly stood up and applause rang out.

Although the number of people was small and the applause was not loud, it was probably insignificant compared to the Kodak Theatre.

However, the applause made Gulnazar's heart race and her palms sweat slightly. Following behind the man in front of her, she unconsciously straightened her chest.

……

To be honest, Chen Nuo hadn't expected to receive such a show of support.

Before Cao Guowei came, he only told him that there was an important meeting that concerned his vital interests, but he didn't expect that it would take so long!

What's the point of having him come here?
After sitting for a while and listening to the viewpoints of both sides under Cao Guowei's guidance, Chen Nuo suddenly realized what was going on.

Hesitant?
Sorry, not even a second.

“I think anything less than $50 billion is out of the question,” Chen Nuo said seriously.

Ridiculous?
Everyone present thought it was absurd.

Am I an amateur?
Everyone present thought he was an amateur.

Realistic?
Everyone present felt it was unrealistic.

If someone else had said that, everyone present would have burst into laughter and told him to shut up and get lost.

But the person who said this was none other than someone else.

He is an individual shareholder of Facebook, currently valued at $500 billion and the world's largest social networking site by user base. He is also the owner of the world's largest social media account and, not long ago, a super user who stirred up a storm on every social media platform around the world, creating tens of millions of reposts.

If he says Sina Weibo is worth $50 billion, who will laugh?
Didn't you see that both foreign agencies looked thoughtful?

Li Ruolan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "President Chen, we know that we have underestimated it. However, Weibo's profitability is still very limited. Although advertising revenue is growing, it was only $5000 million last year, accounting for 12% of Sina's total revenue. Moreover, operating costs are too high. Last year, we burned through $1.2 million, and this year it is expected to double. If we insist on raising the valuation now, it may scare Alibaba away."

Chen Nuo nodded knowingly and asked, "How long can the money in the account last? Would it be okay to operate for another year?"

Cao Guowei said, "It's not that bad. We just completed a round of financing at the end of last year, raising $2 million. We still have $1.5 million in cash flow on hand. With advertising revenue and some brand cooperation fees, we can support ourselves for two or three years without any problem. However, if we want to accelerate expansion, the financial pressure will indeed be quite large, which is why we are in a hurry to find strategic investors."

Chen Nuo said "Oh", and then said, "In that case, at the latest by the second half of the year, if we are still short of money, I can personally contribute some more money to invest. 2 million US dollars should not be a problem. At that time, just calculate the shares based on a valuation of 50 billion US dollars."

He said it so casually.

But everyone in the room was starting to get restless.

Honestly, if we didn't have a positive outlook on Weibo, none of you investors would be sitting here today. But who the hell would dare to value Sina Weibo at $50 billion and then put in more real money? That's $50 billion! Just think about how much Sina's parent company is worth on NASDAQ right now!
After thinking it over, it's probably only someone who, in their past life, lost a fortune trading US stocks and thus knew that Sina Weibo's market value once exceeded 300 billion US dollars in 2018, would dare to do something like this.

After Chen Nuo finished speaking, he continued, "As for NetEase, Tencent... President Cao, and all the shareholders, I think we don't need to be in such a hurry to suppress and fight them. It's too tiring. We should listen to Lao Tzu's advice: sit by the river and wait for the enemy's corpses to float by."

I just learned the last sentence.
