Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 359 CCTV's Second Invitation

Huang Wenrong's suggestion was good, but unrealistic.

This is just like spreading rumors; it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to verify them.

Just finding Huang Xiaotong required a huge investment of manpower and resources. Each district and county had more than a dozen leads every day, which really kept more than 2000 district and county officials running around like crazy.

Strictly speaking, he could understand Huang Wenrong, but he couldn't comprehend the feeling of regaining a lost loved one and the emotional journey of searching for one's loved one.

Just like the line from Stephen Chow's Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons: Have you ever had a husband die? Have you ever had a husband die?

Those who have never lost their husbands simply cannot understand what it feels like to have one.

If Momo Internet Cafe were to produce something like this, the endless stream of clues from all over the country would be enough to wear down parents searching for their children. They would be running around every day trying to verify the information, and they would collapse from exhaustion in less than six months.

Even if you recruit staff, it's difficult to handle this kind of situation.

Especially in this day and age, many missing children don't even leave behind photos, which greatly increases the workload of this task.

Even if the clues are shown to the child's biological parents, they still cannot identify them, let alone ordinary staff members.

That's why later large internet companies didn't do this.

It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I can't.

However, if this can actually be done, it will be extremely beneficial to Momo Group.

Cheng Yi is a businesswoman and has never lost her husband, so his primary concern is the interests of the group.

If you can help these helpless people while making profits, then that would be a great deed.

If we were to abandon our own interests to help these people, it would be like trying to compete with a bodhisattva for life with our mortal bodies, which is unrealistic.

In every district and county, there are many parents like Huang Wenrong. No matter how successful they were in the past, their lives come to an end the moment their child is lost.

Guilt and self-blame can make many people drift into a daze until the end of their lives.

Cheng Yi gave Huang Wenrong just a sliver of hope, and Huang Wenrong became almost fanatical in his service to him.

Especially when it came to expanding internet cafes nationwide, Huang Wenrong never considered things like 996 work schedules, holidays, or benefits. He only had one thought at the time: to spread internet cafes all over the country as quickly as possible.

In fact, Huang Wenrong was ten times more proactive than the big boss in this matter.

To achieve this, we must start with the word "hope." He wants to give those parents a real, tangible hope, enabling them to escape their aimless lives, to regain their hope for life, and to have something to do.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi heartlessly wrote a few words in his diary: cheap labor.

Most of these people gave up their jobs and endured hardships in their search for their children. Even those who continued to work did not focus on their jobs.

If you connect their work with the search for their relatives, the enthusiasm this group displays will absolutely exceed your imagination.

Huang Wenrong is a prime example.

In just five months, he set up 2071 internet cafes with ten people each across the country and trained more than 2000 district and county officials, which is almost a miracle.

The person who can create such a miracle can no longer be described as a workaholic; he should be called an iron man.

The search for relatives must be linked to the expansion of Momo Internet Cafes into the national market. We need to make the parents in each district and county looking forward to the real Momo Internet Cafes being located in their districts and counties. With these people protecting them, once Momo Internet Cafes are located in the districts and counties, we may not even need to hire security companies. Anyone who dares to touch a Momo Internet Cafe is tantamount to jeopardizing the hopes of these parents looking for their relatives.

These people, who had long lost hope in life, wouldn't even blink if they were facing knives and axes.

They are ready to fight to the death against anyone who dares to threaten their hopes.

Cheng Yi, quite heartlessly, wrote a label in his diary: National Internet Cafe Guardian.

Create a nationwide missing persons website and place it on the homepage of the navigation bar of Momo Internet cafe computers. Publish missing persons information from all over the country on it. As long as accurate clues are provided, you can get free internet access for a year and receive the "Star of Compassion" title awarded by Momo Group, jointly awarded by Momo Group and the local civil affairs industry association.

Afterwards, we will recruit a group of volunteers in various districts and counties to help people find their relatives. They are mainly responsible for cleaning and moving things in several Momo Internet cafes in the districts and counties, maintaining order in the Momo Internet cafes, and helping volunteers from other districts and counties to communicate and confirm clues about finding relatives in their own county.

In this way, these people no longer need to travel all over the country to find their relatives. They only need to stay in their own county and exchange information with volunteers from other districts and counties through the Momo app.

It truly allows you to see thousands of miles without leaving home.

In fact, their journey to search for their relatives across the country was simply to seek peace of mind and hope.

In his past life, Huang Wenrong often chatted with Cheng Yi. When Huang Wenrong joined the rogue software group, he had traveled to many places. He knew that this headless search would be fruitless, but he couldn't stop because once he stopped, his mind would wander.

These wild thoughts will break him down and drive him crazy.

Cheng Yi twirled the pen in his hand and quickly wrote another label: reputation.

If Momo Internet Cafe is linked with the national family tracing website, the negative impact of internet cafes can be significantly reduced.

Even if it's just diluted by 30%, it would be a huge benefit for Momo Internet Cafe.

Having figured out the underlying reasons, Cheng Yi planned to make a big deal out of Huang Wenrong's search for his relatives.

Tens of millions of dollars have been thrown in, shouldn't they make some publicity?
Cheng Yi really likes a line from a TV series: "If you do something with the intention of showing it to others, that's a matter of Your Highness's virtue. But if you do a good deed and no one knows about it in the end, then I, as a strategist, am useless."

That's right, he is now that strategist.

This is, after all, tens of millions, and it was tens of millions in 2002.

In his previous life, his peak savings amounted to only a little over 30 million.

Huang Wenrong's donation resulted in the passing of two forty-year-old Cheng Yis.

After the Huang Wenrong incident, Cheng Yi gained a more thorough understanding of the path of charity.

He called Lin Hua and told him his thoughts and plans.

Lin Hua, as a prime example of a hypocrite, reacted indifferently to this matter, after all, he belonged to the category of people who had never lost their husbands.

After hearing Cheng Yi's plan, Lin Hua shamelessly offered several more suggestions to maximize profits, making even the beastly Cheng Yi call him a beast.

During this period, the news of Momo Group executives donating a cross-river bridge has spread like wildfire, and even some national newspapers have published stories about Huang Wenrong searching for his relatives.

With Cheng Yi's deliberate encouragement, CCTV once again mustered the courage to extend a program invitation to Momo Group. This time, they wanted to invite Huang Wenrong to participate in their program and share his experience of searching for his family.

Such a positive story is practically tailor-made for CCTV.

Although Huang Wenrong really wanted to be on the show, he fell ill just a few days before the show was scheduled to start.

The long-term tension, the excessive workload, and this series of shocks, sorrows, and joys finally broke this tough man.

The high fever persisted for three days.

Left with no other choice, Momo Group had to once again send out its biggest star.

Chairman Du Yusheng.

The person in charge at CCTV said that they initially refused, but the news was too big, so even though they had already blacklisted Du Yusheng, they needed to reconsider.

When it comes to eloquence and emotional appeal, even three Huang Wenrongs combined couldn't compare to Du Yusheng.

After all, at his peak, Du Yusheng was a ruthless character who could persuade civil servants to resign and work for Amway.

In order to allow Du Yusheng to perform at his best, and also to take this opportunity to promote the Momo Hope Primary School, Cheng Yi invited Lin Hua to be the second guest on the show.

Upon hearing that he could appear on a CCTV program, Lin Hua, who already had a strong desire to perform, almost called Cheng Yi his godfather.

Seeing that Cheng Yi had given him such a great opportunity to shine, Lin Hua's gratitude towards Cheng Yi was palpable.

Lin Hua has reached a point where he needs significant exposure; his current level of exposure will determine how far he can go in the future.

To prevent a repeat of the previous performance mishap, CCTV's editorial office, after careful consideration, decided to change "Dialogue with the Economy," their largest live program, to a pre-recorded format.

After all, the chairman of Momo Group seemed too relaxed before the show; we need to be careful.

The program was scheduled for Father's Day, June 16, 2002.

On the evening of June 15, Du Yusheng and Lin Hua rushed to Yanjing City with more than a dozen security personnel.

Upon arriving in Yanjing City, Du Yusheng, following Cheng Yi's instructions, took two security personnel to the Haidian District Police Association to report that someone was attempting to harm an internet cafe on Xueyuan Road.

Du Yusheng is now a big celebrity and a frequent guest on CCTV. When the Haidian District Police Association received Du Yusheng's report, the higher-ups were shocked. They immediately mobilized a lot of resources and almost completely blocked off Xueyuan Road.

After a thorough investigation, they finally caught the mischievous kids who had deliberately planned this, and found something deadly inside their Sprite bottles.

Although the incident did not cause serious harm, it still shocked various departments. While feeling apprehensive, they also began to formulate management regulations overnight, intending to properly regulate this wildly growing internet cafe industry.

Du Yusheng, as the key contributor to this incident, has already started recording a program with Lin Hua.

Upon seeing the devil Du Yusheng again, host Chen Weihong appeared very nervous. As the culprit who turned their program from a live broadcast into a pre-recorded show, it would be hard to believe Chen Weihong wasn't nervous.

When Du Yusheng was last invited, Momo Group was in decline and on the verge of collapse.

However, when Du Yusheng was invited again after half a year, Momo Group had become the largest technology group in Handong Province. One of their vice presidents could donate tens of millions of yuan at a time.

This made Chen Weihong sigh at the unpredictability of life.

Since this was a pre-recorded program, Chen Weihong wasn't worried that this guy would cause any more trouble. As soon as the interview started, Du Yusheng and Lin Hua began to talk boastfully.

Although Du Yusheng's literary skills were three times inferior to Lin Hua's, his shamelessness was two times greater.

The pairing of these two people surprisingly evokes a sense of temporal conflict for the audience.

This feeling is so wonderful.

It was a wonderful scene of 'you say yours, I say mine'.

Du Yusheng was talking about Momo Internet Cafe's upcoming commitment to developing family tracing services, while Lin Hua was talking about the Renren.com charity project, which aims to help many children in impoverished mountainous areas, and so on.

Faced with such a big topic, Chen Weihong, a well-known host of economic programs, was surprisingly unable to get a few words in.

His knowledge was clearly lacking when it came to these topics.

This resulted in the entire interview basically turning into an interactive chat between Du Yusheng and Lin Hua. Despite this, the whole program was exceptionally tight and exciting.

Because both Du Yusheng and Lin Hua have a strong desire to perform in front of the camera.

As the recording drew to a close, Chen Weihong finally interjected, asking, "Chairman Lin, as the student union president of Handong University and the executive president of the Handong Provincial Student Federation, why did you choose a group whose main business is internet cafes? With your resume, you could easily dedicate yourself to a national department and serve the country with all your knowledge."

Lin Hua smiled and said, "Actually, I have already passed the national selection exam for civil servants."

"Oh?" Chen Weihong's expression changed slightly, and his eyes showed a hint of respect as he looked at Lin Hua.

The value of the national selection of outstanding graduates is extremely high, especially in recent years. As long as you pass the national selection exam, you will start as a section chief or deputy director, and you will be assigned to important positions in key functional departments.

Lin Hua continued, "I originally planned to quietly wait to graduate and take a job in Yanjing City, but I'm the kind of person who can't stay idle. So, at the invitation of my junior, Cheng Yi, the general manager of Xiaonei.com Technology Company in Jingzhou City, I temporarily joined Xiaonei.com Technology, mainly responsible for the charity projects under Xiaonei.com Technology. Strictly speaking, I'm just a temporary worker at Xiaonei.com Technology and don't have much to do with Momo Group."

Lin Hua dismissed Du Yusheng with a single sentence.

Du Yusheng gave Lin Hua a resentful look and raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't Xiaoneiwang Technology a subsidiary of Momo Group?" Chen Weihong asked again.

Lin Hua nodded and said, "Yes, but Xiaonei.com Technology is different from other second-tier companies of Momo Group. My junior, Cheng Yi, owns 78% of the shares in Xiaonei.com Technology, making him the absolute controlling shareholder. Moreover, Xiaonei.com Technology is a university-enterprise cooperation project supported by our Handong University. The fundamental purpose of Xiaonei.com Technology is to dedicate itself to the development of grassroots education. We will establish 200 Hope Primary Schools in more than 100 impoverished areas across the country. Every penny earned by Xiaonei.com will be used for charitable education."

"It seems your junior is also a person with great love," Chen Weihong remarked.

Facing the camera, Lin Hua smiled and said, "He is indeed a person with great love. He is also the next student union president of our Handong University. I believe that he will do a better job as student union president than I will."

Chen Weihong then looked at Du Yusheng and asked, "Chairman Du, I also have a question I'd like to ask you. Some media outlets feel that your group is deliberately putting on a show with this incident. What is your opinion on this criticism?"

Du Yusheng smiled and said, "I'm not very cultured and can't say anything profound, so let me use the Four Great Classical Novels as an example. Many people think that Liu Bei was hypocritical, but I want to ask, if a person can be hypocritical for a lifetime, can we still consider him hypocritical?"

"If this is just a show, then Momo Group is prepared to put on a show for the rest of its life."
