Now that we are reborn, who still wants to be an honest person?

Chapter 202 That kid really holds a grudge

In Su Mingyue’s cell phone.

Paul's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Su."

"I also remember that you Chinese have an idiom called 'using public power for personal gain', right?"

"I know you and Fang Zhou are friends, but I hope you won't abuse your power for personal gain and harm the company's interests to achieve your own personal wishes."

Su Mingyue said in a cold voice:
"Paul."

"Such words should not come out of the mouth of a vice president."

"If this gets out, people might think that all the management of our Haichuang Capital is of this level."

"When Convenient Bike was first launched, it was only in one city with less than 2000 registered users and a company valuation of 500 million. Now, Convenient Bike has expanded to multiple cities and has over million registered users."

"For the valuation of convenient bicycles, I also referred to their potential."

"Besides."

"Fang Zhou, the owner of Convenient Bike."

"He has other businesses that are also booming and have high profit margins. He has no shortage of money."

"And they have now marched into Kyoto. This is all part of their plan."

"There was already a forward-thinking Chinese who was working with him."

"We're going to do it now."

“It’s a quick entry.”

Paul's tone was somewhat disdainful:
"Businessmen pursue profit. Since they are businessmen, they cannot escape this law."

"Of course, we are the same, so we have to get the highest profit at the lowest cost, which is what you should do."

This is obviously a fruitless argument.

After hanging up the phone, Su Mingyue smashed the phone on the table, making a loud noise.

Said hatefully:
"waste."

"Short-sighted guy!"

Hangcheng.

Since the rise of express bicycles in Hangzhou, they have brought significant changes to local life.

Yellow cars can be seen everywhere on the streets.

The conference room at KuaiBicycle’s headquarters.

The atmosphere was a little dull.

A voice with a hint of anxiety asked:

"Mr. Guo, how did the discussion go?"

The man called Mr. Guo, who was only about thirty years old, frowned and said:

"It's hard to talk anymore."

"They... don't have enough confidence in us."

"The price is too low. You only want half of the shares after investing 30 million. Our assets are more than that."

"I heard some news."

"When Convenient Bike just acquired Sujing, people from Haichuang Capital offered them $2000 million."

"Now we have not only conquered Hangzhou, but are also heading into Shanghai. Are we not as good as Convenient Bicycle, which was previously only in a small corner of Sujing?"

"That's really contemptuous of me."

No wonder Guo Feng was angry.

He is also one of the founders of Fast Bike.

It is always uncomfortable to see that the company that you have worked so hard to establish is now looked down upon by others.

But what I just said was just a complaint.

Current situation.

It's the Express Bike that's in trouble.

Zhang Tong, who just asked the question, is another founder of Kuaijie Bicycle and is two years younger than Guo Feng.

I saw the news about convenient bicycles on the Internet before and immediately smelled the business opportunity.

He raised some investment and founded Kuaijie Bike.

In fact, the investment was less than 50 million.

But there are still more than 20 million.

In order to capture the Hangzhou market, a lot of investment was spent.

The goal now is to get the next investment.

Zhang Tong pinched his brows and said:

"This is capital's lack of trust in us."

"We also need to produce some impressive results so that they will take us seriously."

"What do you think of the matter in the Demon City?"

"Now it's convenient to use bicycles to make moves."

"Should we answer it or not?"

Hearing this, Guo Feng fell into a brief silence.

Zhang Tong continued:

"The red envelopes offered by Convenient Bike have been available for a day now. Although this strategy costs money, it is very effective. We have almost no valid registrations for Kuaishou Bike."

"If you don't follow."

"That would be like a slow death for us."

"Perhaps things have developed to this point and we no longer have any choice."

Guo Feng knew what Zhang Tong meant, moved his lips but said nothing.

Maybe Zhang Tong, like him, was regretting in his heart why he suddenly marched into the Magic City, resulting in the current dilemma.

It seemed like all of a sudden.

The originally good situation changed in an instant.

Before going to Shanghai, their Kuaishou Bike had developed very well in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and had completely controlled Hangzhou. In addition, two venture capital firms were interested in Kuaishou Bike and had entered the negotiation stage.

However, the valuation of KuaiBicycle.

There is a very important consideration in terms of potential and risk resistance.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, the management of Kuaijie Bike, after discussion, decided to abandon the strategy of steady development in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and instead directly enter Shanghai to compete with Convenient Bike for the market.

They have already stopped Hangzhou, the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In the eyes of capital.

The proportion of second- and third-tier cities is very low.

Their own resources are limited, so it would be better for them to attack the nearby Magic City to increase their own value.

Originally they were still thinking about it.

And convenient bicycles will develop peacefully for a period of time.

After all, the market in Shanghai is so big that just having bicycles to facilitate bicycle deployment is not enough and cannot fully cover the needs of the entire Shanghai.

According to their vision.

Fast Bike and Convenient Bike are in a stalemate, which allows investors to see the potential of Fast Bike, making it easier to attract investment and allowing those investors to look at Fast Bike with a higher regard.

I didn’t expect that Convenient Bike would not play by the rules and would directly overturn the table.

As soon as the red envelopes from Convenient Bicycles were released.

There is simply no way for them to survive.

The number of effective users of Kuaijie Bike dropped sharply. Not only did the number of registrations decrease instead of increase, but the people who originally registered in the morning also saw a drop in popularity, with many more applications for deposit refunds.

Moreover, the investor who was originally in talks with them has also stopped moving.

This is like putting a fast bike on fire.

KuaiBicycle is in a dilemma.

In order to enter the Magic City.

A lot of work has been done in the early stages.

We have invested so many people and spent so much money. If we just withdraw in such a disgraceful way, all the previous investment will be wasted.

And now it is defeated as soon as it encounters convenient bicycles.

It is difficult to get capital to take notice.

and so.

At this point, I can only go ahead with it.

This red envelope system must be implemented.

……

Friday night.

The Small West Building of Normal University.

Tang Tang accompanied Fang Zhou in looking at the computer.

The two of them sat on the sofa. There were two computers on the table in front of them, each playing two programs.

Today is the second episode of Running Girl.

Fang Zhou did not adjust the time of "Running Man" back and continued to fight.

Since "Running Girl" didn't perform well, Fang Zhou didn't want to miss the opportunity to strike him down while he was down.

Tonight is the time for another head-to-head showdown between the two programs.

In fact, it is the penguin that serves as the platform.

They don’t want these two popular programs to compete with each other, as this is not a good thing for their platform.

But this requirement was put forward by Qihang Media.

They couldn't refuse this.

After all, the two parties now have many cooperative projects.

Penguin also had its own statistics. Feihong Entertainment was likely doomed to fail this time. There was no need to provoke a company with unlimited potential over a show that was destined to fail. Within Penguin, the young boss's reputation as a "madman" was well known.

It’s better not to mess with such people.

Kyoto.

Inside the hotel.

The computer in Chen Jing's room was also on.

She had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, tidied herself up and went to bed, ready to watch the company's variety show in the evening.

In order to promote bicycles, Tang Jianhuang went to Kyoto to visit an old friend these two days.

His connections are indeed impressive.

The review is completed today.

We can start work tomorrow.

It just so happens that the workers and equipment will arrive in Kyoto tomorrow, and all preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner. Chen Jing can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After cleaning up, Chen Jing lay down on the bed with the computer on her long legs.

She was wearing silk pajamas at this time.

There is a sense of relaxation from the inside out.

Looking at the comments in the program barrage, some people were comparing the two programs. Chen Jing thought of Fang Zhou, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

She had also learned from Qiao Qiao what happened in Shanghai and the incident with the express bike.

That guy not only has super powers, but also holds a grudge.

The key is that he still has such a bad temper.

It was really unlucky for Fast Bike to have run into him.

Perhaps from the perspective of Kuaijie Bike, their entry into Shanghai was just a normal business activity, but they were targeted by Ark, and they must be in a state of panic at this time.

I guess KuaiBicycle originally wanted to develop peacefully.

This now becomes a war of attrition.

But in Chen Jing's opinion.

It’s no wonder that Fang Zhou is so irritable.

After all, the market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is so big. The sudden entry of fast bikes into Shanghai, especially when convenient bikes were blocked from entering Kyoto, inevitably made Fang Zhou unhappy with them and wanted to teach them a lesson.

They had previously investigated Express Bike to understand their situation.

They don't have that much money.

Want to raise funds.

Now we are stuck in a stalemate because of entering the Shanghai market.

In order to continue to compete, Kuaishou also launched a red envelope activity for riding, with the purpose of keeping themselves breathing and also for the investors to see.

But how long it can last is hard to say.

Capitalists are realistic.

They know it too.

The shared bicycle project is a winner-takes-all situation.

Finding a point of entry allows you to buy at a low price.

But it also comes with risks.

It is foreseeable that a wave of shared bicycle brands will emerge in the short term.

But in the end.

Only one or two will survive.

Before there is a clear result, those investors will definitely not talk about financing with Kuaishou Bike again.

Chen Jing felt that Fang Zhou was a hot-tempered guy, and it wasn't just about Kuaishou Bike.

There is also competition with Feihong Entertainment.

At this time, Fang Zhou was also chasing Feihong Entertainment and beating it.

……

Feihong Entertainment.

Although the conference room was full of people, no one spoke and everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen in front of them.

After the previous week's fermentation, everyone was worried and anxious.

Running Girl is full of uncertainty.

Although many people scolded me.

But there are also some praises.

This is a torture for them.

For the management of Feihong Entertainment, the past week has been a roller coaster ride.

As for how "Running Girl" will perform in the future, it depends on tonight's results. Tonight's results will determine the life or death of Feihong Entertainment.

The second episode is online.

Everyone is staring at the screen.

When people in the conference room saw that there were obviously fewer comments than in the first episode, and many of them were spoken in a judgmental tone, they immediately felt that the situation was not good.

"Xiao Liu, check the backend data. What's the situation now?"

Zhao Zidong instructed the sound technology department.

Soon Xiao Liu said:

"From the current situation, the number of views of 'Running Man' and 'Running Woman' is about the same."

Hearing this, Lu Yunjin, who was sitting in the front, breathed a sigh of relief.

He tugged at his tie and said:
"It's OK."

"I was just worrying too much before."

"It seems that those who cursed online before were all black fans."

"Running Man has been praised so much, but its number of views is still comparable to ours. Facts speak louder than words."

In order to take revenge on Fang Zhou, Lu Yunjin invested a large sum of money in Feihong Entertainment, and he also had high hopes for "Running Girl".

He is under a lot of pressure this week.

Seeing that the number of views was not much different, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

but.

Chen Zidong is not as optimistic as he is.

Seeing the reactions on the barrage, he always felt that something was wrong.

really.

After playing for more than ten minutes.

The situation on the barrage changed, and more people started to curse again.

The atmosphere in the conference room, which had been slightly relaxed, became solemn again, and no one spoke in the conference room.

Xiao Liu turned around and looked at the leaders next to him.

Swallowed.

My throat feels a little tight.

But I also know that I can't hide it.

I could only whisper:
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Chen, there will be fluctuations in the data for the day after tomorrow. The number of online viewers of our program is rapidly decreasing, while the number of viewers of Running Man is increasing."

what?
Lu Yunjin's expression changed.

He quickly ran to the computer in the supervisory backend, and when he saw the curve of the number of people online, his face suddenly darkened.

At the beginning, the number of online viewers of the two programs was indeed on par.

But after starting.

The curve changes differently.

The number of online users of "Running Girls" has been declining, while the number of online users of "Running Man" has been increasing rapidly.

obviously.

This is because some viewers went to support the enemy.

Lu Yunjin kicked a chair next to him in anger.

He turned and stared at Chen Zidong, not caring about the other people around him, and said with narrowed eyes:
"what is happening."

"You promised me before that this show would definitely make money, why did this happen?"

"It's also known in the agreement with the sponsor."

"If the bet fails."

"The one who suffers the most is me."

"You made me lose so much money, I will never let you go!"

Chen Zidong was also very depressed. If Lu Yunjin lost money, he would also lose money, and it was very likely that he would lose his own company.

But Lu Yunjin has the Lu family behind him, so if the show fails, he will just lose some money.

Chen Zidong can't afford to offend Lu Yunjin.

Although I was furious.

But I still had to suppress my anger and put on a smile.

Said to Lu Yunjin:

"Hou Yun is to blame for this."

"Obviously, what Fang Zhou said before was correct. The script of Running Man could not have been written by Hou Yun."

"You deceived your grandson and both of us. I suffered a huge loss."

"..."

but.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

Compared to the bickering of Feihong Entertainment, the barrage section of "Running Man" is extremely joyful.
