Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 554 Momo Group is the most awesome!

Who can disregard their own homeland...

Leaving aside my childhood memories...

Who could bear to see his sorrow from yesterday...?

It took away our smiles...

The a cappella voices converged into an unstoppable torrent, filled with a raw realism and immense power.

This sudden turn of events brought together this group of young leaders who represent China's internet industry.

These people are at the very top of the pyramid, so they naturally guessed what had happened.

While they were singing on stage, those despicable foreign forces jumped out to cause trouble.

Although they all accepted the fact that falling behind means being beaten, and were willing to kneel down to make money, there should be a time and place for bullying others, right?

What deep-seated grudge could possibly warrant such an act during a time of celebration?
Just like the lyrics they sang earlier: Who can disregard their own homeland? Who can cast aside their childhood memories?

What kind of world is this? Honest people can't survive at all.

Whether you like it or not, these bastards are forcing you to fight them to the death.

The emotion infused into the singing produced a more powerful and moving effect than any meticulously rehearsed performance.

The audience erupted in cheers.

Countless people were moved to tears and joined in the singing.

Just then, the piercing electrical noise disappeared, the accompaniment started again, and the television signal returned to normal.

The moment the music resumed, audiences around the world saw Cheng Yi leading the singing with his arms raised high in the center of the screen, as well as the stirring scene of thousands of people singing in unison.

Their background is the logo of Momo Group, formed by countless stars.

This scene was quickly captured by an AFP reporter.

He quickly wrote in his notebook: Witness the rise of a business empire.

Meanwhile, a clear and stable signal was retransmitted to every corner of Asia through Universal Television!
"Bastion Protocol activated, signal restored, interference source temporarily suppressed!" Lilith shouted excitedly in the monitoring room.

What the global audience is seeing now is no longer an a cappella performance.

Instead, it was a massive chorus of 43 excited business leaders and tens of thousands of audience members.

Their voices were clear and resonant, filled with boundless hope and strength for the future.

The belief in a better tomorrow contained in the song is given a meaning that transcends the music itself at this moment. It seems to represent the indomitable spirit and aspirations of this era.

As the last note faded, the entire venue fell silent.

Forty-three internet giants stood on the stage, looking at each other with lingering excitement and a certain indescribable resonance on their faces. For the first time, they felt that there seemed to be a deeper connection between them beyond competition.

It's like a subtle bond about home and future, forced together under external pressure.

In the front row of VIP seats, Andrew Rothschild was the first to stand up and applaud loudly, breaking the silence.

Even this seasoned financial aristocrat, who had seen it all, had genuine admiration in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.

Although Johnson and Chen Yongzheng, who were standing next to him, clapped hands politely, their smiles looked somewhat stiff.

Samsung's Kim Jun-ho had a dark expression on his face, as if the soul-stirring chorus he had just heard was an insult to him personally.

Five CCTV hosts, including Zhu Jun and Zhou Tao, took to the stage again. Zhu Jun, his voice slightly trembling with emotion, exclaimed, "Friends, that breathtaking scene will surely become an indelible mark on this night and even on this era. It tells us that no matter what storms we face, the power of unity and hope will eventually break through the gloom!"

Li Yong immediately took the call and said, "Yes! And tonight is destined to be a night of dazzling stars. The third anniversary celebration of Momo Group is not only a glory for the business world, but also a grand event for music and dreams. Next, let us put aside the waves of the business world for a while and immerse ourselves in the audio-visual feast brought by top global stars."

Zhou Tao then said, "Now, let's give a round of applause and screams to welcome the King of Pop who has conquered the world, Michael Jackson!"

"what!!!"

Screams erupted instantly.

Viewers in front of their televisions also cheered with joy.

The lights inside and outside the venue suddenly went out, leaving only a spotlight shining on the center of the stage.

On the huge circular screen, a vast cosmic nebula slowly rotates.

A distinctive figure, exuding mystery and elegance, slowly rises in the spotlight.

His signature curly hair, white gloves, black suit, white socks, and black leather shoes.

Without much small talk, the signature robotic dance moves started instantly.

The rhythm of each joint is precise to the millimeter, full of power and magic.

As the intro began, it wasn't the "Beat It" or "Billie Jean" that everyone had expected, but rather the timeless masterpiece "Heal the World," a song that calls for peace and unity!
Michaelson's ethereal yet compassionate voice rang out.

On the giant screen, instead of cosmic nebulae, images of Earth produced by Momo Group were displayed.

Green forest.

A clear river.

Children of different skin colors hold hands, laugh, and run...

As the chorus begins, Michael Jackson's signature high notes strike straight to the soul.

The audience spontaneously began waving their arms to the rhythm, and giant glow sticks rose and fell with the music.

At this moment, the smoke of commercial battles, the attacks and defenses of the internet, and the struggles of capital seemed to be temporarily soothed by this song full of love.

Johnson had to admit that Michaelson's choice of this song, combined with the unexpected turn of events and the cohesion shown by Momo Group, was a stroke of genius.

When the song ended, Michael Jackson did not leave the stage immediately. Instead, he bowed deeply to the audience in his own unique way, then pointed to the Momo Group logo on the side of the stage and made a gesture of respect.

This subtle movement once again triggered a massive uproar.

Everyone understands that this is the King of Pop's recognition of this emerging Eastern technology giant.

Michelson's figure slowly descended amidst applause, the lights changed again, and the rhythm became dynamic and exciting.

Soon, Zhu Jun took the stage and said with a smile, "The brilliance of the King of Pop is intoxicating, and the next goddess will ignite all our passion with her unparalleled stage presence and signature voice! She is the sex symbol of pop music, she is the eternal queen of pop, please welcome Ms. Madonna!!!"

Under the spotlight, Madonna made a stunning appearance in a futuristic silver sequined bodysuit and her signature cone bra.

The upbeat electronic dance track "Hung Up" then begins.

She swayed her powerful waist, her queenly aura instantly igniting the entire audience.

Madonna's magnetic and seductive voice, combined with dazzling laser stage design and precise backup dancers, transformed the entire venue into a giant disco dance floor.

Many viewers in front of their televisions started swaying wildly to the rhythm.

The surround sound system meticulously designed by Momo Group makes every drumbeat feel like it's striking your heart. It's a pure sensory feast that showcases the ultimate charm of Western pop culture.

After a medley of upbeat songs, Madonna performed a relatively soothing yet powerful rendition of "Like A Prayer," leaving an unforgettable impression on the audience amidst the interplay of light and shadow.

The consecutive appearances of two Western superstars further heightened the atmosphere. Zhou Tao stepped onto the stage and announced with a resounding laugh: "Having experienced the charm of a global superstar, let's turn our attention back to the pride of the Chinese music scene. With his unique singing style and imaginative compositions, he has conquered the hearts of countless young people. And he is also a partner of our Momo Group. Let's welcome, Chief Experience Officer of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' the King of Asian Pop, Jay Chou!!!"

As Zhou Tao's powerful voice rang out, the stage was instantly filled with national red and ink-wash landscape elements.

Jay Chou, dressed in a cool black leather jacket and baseball cap, ran onto the stage with an electric guitar in his arms.

The prelude is a fusion of the guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither) with electronic drum beats, full of oriental charm.

The song "Nunchucks" completely ignited the young audience.

Ninety percent of Momo Group's employees are young people born in the 80s, who are at the age where they like Jay Chou.

Jay Chou's stage performances are not glamorous, but his unique stage presence and the traditional Chinese elements in his music possess an irreplaceable charm.

As he got into the song, Jay Chou walked to the edge of the stage and shouted to the audience, "The next song is for all those who dare to fight! It's 'Dragon Fist'!"

As the powerful Chinese-style rock music began, Jay Chou even spontaneously added a verse:
The giant dragon of the East.

No longer asleep.

The world of the internet.

Watch me take off!

This was clearly a surprise gift for the host company, Momo Group, reigniting the enthusiasm of Momo Group employees.

Just when they thought that was the only Easter egg, Jay Chou suddenly said, "Momo Group is the coolest!"

After shouting those words, he threw down the microphone and walked off the stage with a flourish, leaving many foreigners who didn't understand much Chinese looking at each other in bewilderment.

After Jay Chou left the stage, the stage lights became intense, and the huge circular screen was instantly filled with futuristic neon lines, while powerful electronic beats sounded like a heartbeat.

Zhou Tao then shouted, "They are the most dazzling girl group in the Chinese music scene right now, conquering countless young hearts with their sweetness and power. Now, please welcome our Momo Group's darlings—the Momo Girl Group!!!"

As soon as the intro to "Super Star" started, Rao Yuan and her two friends, dressed in bright, futuristic short skirts, ran energetically onto the stage.

The Momo Girls Group is incredibly popular right now. As the darlings of the Momo Group, they reached their peak right from their debut, completely overshadowing S.H.E. and ascending to the pinnacle of the Chinese music scene.

The powerful vocals instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire audience.

The typhoons of Rao Yuan and the other two have now reached their peak.

Lead singer Rao Yuan wore a short battle robe adorned with bright silver tassels, which accentuated her tall and graceful figure, exuding a powerful and mature aura.

Little Tang Guo, dressed in an exaggerated pink and blue tutu and sporting her signature pigtails, is full of energy as she hops and skips around.

Lou Shishi, a sweet girl, wore a light yellow lace-trimmed short dress. Her gentle and healing smile made her as approachable as a girl next door.

Laugh, and sing praises.

My heart aches whenever I frown.

I don't have time for you.

Just feel what you feel.

Rao Yuan's voice is clear and bright, with a power that penetrates the heart.

Her stage presence has long since lost its former naivety, and is now filled with superstar confidence and control.

However, in the center of this dazzling stage, under the spotlight of thousands of eyes, Rao Yuan's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the dimly lit executive area of ​​Momo Group directly in front of the stage.

There, Cheng Yi was casually leaning back in his chair.

He tilted his head, seemingly listening to what Du Yusheng was saying, a faint smile on his lips.

Rao Yuan's heart would tremble involuntarily every time her gaze fell upon that figure.

A barely perceptible tenderness flickered in the depths of her eyes, but it was instantly suppressed by her strong professionalism, and she threw herself back into the performance.

Only she herself knew how long this secret feeling had lingered in her heart.

She was captivated by Cheng Yi's song "I Believe" starting at a barbecue stall in early autumn of 2001.

At that time, Cheng Yi was just the owner of an illegal internet cafe, and she was just a student.

But gradually, Cheng Yi's development speed became faster and faster.

She wanted to become someone truly worthy of him, but Cheng Yi's progress was just too fast.

She thought that when she stood at the top of the Chinese music scene, when she became a superstar in the public eye, the distance between her and him would be shortened.

But reality is cruel.

While she was celebrating her rise to the top of the music scene, he was already a business tycoon who controlled a vast business empire.

She became a superstar, seemingly radiant with glory.

But he was already as distant as the stars and the sea, unreachable.

She even finds it difficult to see him.

The gap between them not only did not narrow, but it widened further and further as she ran hard, until she could only look at him humbly from afar, across the sea of ​​people, even under the spotlight on the stage.

You are electricity

You are the light

You are the only myth!
I only love you
You are my superstar!

As she sang this part, Rao Yuan's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Her gaze returned to the shadows, and this time, it lingered for a little longer.

Cheng Yi seemed to notice the gaze. He turned his head slightly, his eyes briefly meeting Rao Yuan's on the stage through the noisy crowd.

Rao Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and she almost forgot her next dance move.

She saw him nod slightly at her, which seemed to be a form of appreciation.

That's all there is to it.

It's like a boss's recognition of their employees.

Polite, distant, and seemingly carrying a hint of condescension from someone in a superior position.

There was not a trace of affection beyond their working relationship, as she had imagined.

An indescribable sense of loss welled up in her throat, almost making her lose her voice.

Fortunately, the muscle memory developed through long-term training allowed her to perfectly follow the next line of lyrics, and her dance steps were not confused at all.

She quickly looked away, suppressing all her emotions, and put on the standard cold and aloof smile of a mature woman, as if the momentary lapse in concentration had never happened.

She used all her strength to transform that sense of loss into even more intense energy on stage.

The song ended with thunderous applause.
