Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 566: Bringing doctrine
While Momo Group swiftly suppressed that unhealthy trend, Cao Zhengze, who had a long talk with Cheng Yi, also began to try to change the values ​​of young men and women through Momo Group's vast ecosystem.

He stared at the document he had painstakingly compiled overnight, a fervent glint in his eyes.

Behind him were dozens of core operational staff members, their expressions solemn, and the air was thick with the tension of an impending battle.

Cao Zhengze slowly said, "The first phase of the crackdown is complete. The accounts of those famous pundits who relied on stirring up trouble have all been wiped out. Their noise has been temporarily suppressed."

He turned around, looked at each young face, and said, "However, this is only the first half. President Cheng said that this time we can't just block without guiding. Those young people who have been led astray still have their brains filled with mush. Now, it's our turn to take the stage. The group's strategy department is the destroyer, and we, the operations department, are the builders."

"Have you finalized the details of the essay contest on youth, struggle, and love on Renren?" Cao Zhengze asked, looking at a girl.

The girl with the ponytail and bright eyes immediately chimed in: "Boss Cao, it's all been detailed. The core is just eight words: self-love, respect, and joint struggle. We plan to use tangible and real content to sweep away those fallacies and heresies."

“Hmm.” Cao Zhengze looked at the girl and said, “It must be real. Let the audience see the stories of couples who go to the library together to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam and work together to save money to buy books and gifts. Let everyone see that the best form of love should be walking side by side, not one person emptying the other’s wallet.”

"Understood!" Aya quickly took notes and said, "I also contacted some professors and teachers to be judges to ensure the authority. The outstanding works will be compiled directly into a book. I've already thought of the title: 'Starlight on the Road to Struggle'."

“Okay.” Cao Zhengze looked at a lean and capable-looking boy and said, “Xiao Dao, QQ Space is your territory, so you tell us your plan.”

Xiao Dao was Cao Zhengze's right-hand man. His greatest achievement was single-handedly defeating dozens of people in the Shuimu Huaqing community with his scathing remarks.

He then rose to fame after that battle, known as the sharpest tongue in the Shuimu Huaqing community.

Although Xiao Dao is a god of war who sweeps across the internet with just one keyboard, in real life he is a very shy boy.

Xiao Dao adjusted his glasses and said, "QQ Space has always been about showing off gifts from boyfriends, so my plan is the 'Our First Pot of Gold' event, which emphasizes 'sweetness watered by sweat.' Whether they earned a few hundred yuan by setting up a stall as a couple or exchanged gold in a game for a hot pot meal, as long as it was earned through honest labor and joint efforts, let them show it off. We will select some entries to give away the latest Honor laptop."

Xiao Dao smiled modestly and said, "We want to use this event to express that 'what we're showing off isn't money, but a future we're working hard for together.' We want young people to understand that showing off gifts from others is nothing to be proud of; only what you earn through your own efforts is worthy of praise."

“Hmm, very good, and there are games too.” Cao Zhengze looked at Lao K, the person in charge of game public opinion, and said, “In games like ‘Honghuang Chronicles’ and ‘Fantasy Westward Journey,’ President Cheng has already had them launch some limited-time tasks about working together and building a shared home, rewarding players with the ‘Flying Together’ title. You lead the team to cooperate, and try to modify the NPC dialogue as well, adding a few lines like ‘Couples join hands to overcome difficulties’ or ‘Respect each other, and your love will be stronger than gold’ to it. Do it subtly and gradually; many things need to be done gradually.”

"Yes!"

A few days later, the landscape of the internet world quietly shifted.

On the school's intranet, a striking red banner at the top reads: "[Youth, Struggle, Love] Essay Contest in Full Swing."

An article titled "The Lights of the Library Are the Foundation of Our Love" was featured on the homepage.

The author, Hou Liangping, a dreamer at Han University, uses the simplest language to tell the story of how he and his girlfriend supported each other under the pressure of postgraduate entrance exams. To save money for gifts, they tutored together and used their savings to buy each other the gifts they wanted. In the end, they both got into important government departments in Beijing.

"The best gift is to run towards a better future together with you."

The article's concluding remarks resonated with a huge number of readers.

The comment section is no longer about showing off wealth and comparing, but is filled with tens of thousands of positive comments such as "This is true love," "Keep it up! The future is bright," "What a show-off," and "Gold digger."

On QQ Space, the topic of "Our First Pot of Gold" also became incredibly popular with the help of Tencent.

A user named "Brick-Moving Hero" posted a somewhat blurry photo: a screenshot of a game showing two characters standing side by side in front of a magnificent main city, captioned: "My in-game wife and I spent a week grinding for in-game currency in 'Honghuang Zhanji' and used it to buy our first ever candlelight dinner! It wasn't much, but we earned it together, so it tasted especially delicious."

Below are also a lot of replies like "666", "So envious", and "Positive energy from the game romance".

The "United Hearts Locking Demon Tower" event has also been launched simultaneously in the world channel of "Primordial Era"! Couples and close friends are cordially invited to team up and challenge it. As long as they are of one mind and cooperate seamlessly, they can reach the top and claim the rare title of "Flying Together." Upon reaching the top, a message will appear: "Respect each other, fight together, and your bond will be stronger than gold!"

In the Audition Online game forum, the only one unaffected by Momo Group's second order, posts boasting about "My husband gave me XXX outfits again" were relentlessly mocked by Xiao Dao's troll army. At this moment, Xiao Dao displayed the level of the number one troll on Shuimu Huaqing, making those girls who were showing off so mocking that they wanted to crawl through the internet cable and kill him.

After a week, the winds of change on the Chinese internet have finally been forcibly reversed, with keywords such as "working together" and "mutual respect" becoming trending terms.

Muller and his group remained obedient for a week with trepidation, only to find that Momo Group had merely suppressed the atmosphere they had stirred up and had not targeted their Audition Online game. This made Muller and his group secretly relieved.

It now appears that Momo Group does not want to provoke the world's three largest tech giants at the same time.

Fine, since Momo Group dislikes their use of such male-female elements, they will give Momo Group some face and temporarily refrain from promoting this topic.

Just like the viewpoint that Momo Group is currently promoting.

Let's all work together and respect each other.

Currently, Momo Group's focus is indeed not on Audition Online.

It's already mid-April, and the World Championship of Esports is on May 1st. On April 15th, under the leadership of Du Yusheng, Chairman of Momo Group, nearly 80% of Momo Group's senior executives led their teams to Singapore to assist Universe and Blizzard in their preparations.

Black Panther Security, Technology Team, Service Team, Reception Team, Operations Team...

Momo Group's management team mobilized almost entirely, leaving only a few senior executives, such as Cheng Yi, to oversee operations.

This match has been heavily promoted and enjoys immense popularity in various countries, so we absolutely cannot afford to be careless in this match.

Cheng Yi doesn't like crowds; he prefers staying at home.

In particular, they stayed in Jingzhou to guard their homes.

The main reason is that Jingzhou City is too safe.

Among the incubated companies in the Momo Technology Industrial Park, a young man from Harbin Institute of Technology developed a city surveillance system. This system received strong support from Huang Wenrong's team and was handed over to the Jingzhou Police Association for use, where it began pilot testing in Jingzhou City.

The safety of Jingzhou City has improved by several levels. You can no longer see the scenes of extortion in the street that you used to see.

The entire city, from main streets to back alleys, is equipped with surveillance systems.

Due to the confidential nature of the Sky Eye system, the young team is only responsible for technical maintenance. The entire system is under the supervision of the Jingzhou Police Association to prevent the leakage of Sky Eye system videos.

Cheng Yi had a detailed conversation with that young man, and not just this young man, but he had in-depth conversations with almost all of the thousands of incubated companies in the Momo Technology Industrial Park. The longer they talked, the more he felt that there was still hope for China's internet industry.

These young people's thoughts and ambitions far exceed his psychological age of 46.

What they lack is simply an environment for growth.

This is also the difference between the domestic IT industry and the overseas IT industry. Although Cheng Yi deeply resents many things in the overseas IT industry, he must admit that the overseas IT industry provides tremendous support for innovation incubation.

Many of the most powerful companies in the future have emerged from mature startup incubators in Silicon Valley.

For example, Y Combinator, founded by Paul Graham, has always focused on providing startups with funding, resources, legal support, and business consulting support. Once a startup passes their review, they take 2%-10% of the company's equity, and then do their best to protect the startup's intellectual property and support them step by step.

Since its inception, this organization has incubated more than 5000 companies with a total valuation of $8000 billion.

What are startup teams most afraid of?
That's called "borrowing".

China's IT industry has always developed slowly, which is largely due to the "borrowing" mentality. Just when a creative company is starting to make a name for itself, a stronger company takes one look and thinks, "Hey, this thing is pretty good."

Little kid, give it to me!

The strong bully the weak, the big bully the small.

Those established companies completely blocked the path for startups to rise, preventing later companies from developing and affecting their dominant position.

Although a few companies managed to circumvent the suppression by major giants and eventually succeed, they too were influenced by this trend and joined the campaign to suppress the development of small businesses.

This is actually a matter of human empathy; anyone who sees a weak person possessing a valuable treasure would be tempted to help.

Just like an ordinary person, if you see a puppy with a hundred dollars in its mouth, who can resist grabbing it?

To prevent this from happening again, we need to learn from the Silicon Valley model and establish a robust incubation system.

Once the system is in place, even if Microsoft adopts a "take-it-as-it-is" approach, it will be severely punished.

And now, Momo Group is formulating this rule.

They traded abundant resources and strong protection for 5% to 15% of the shares in these startups.

Anyone who dares to reach out and take their ideas will have their hand chopped off.

Cheng Yi even fantasized that one of these companies would emerge as a behemoth capable of replacing Momo Group, thus freeing him from his predicament.

Because he wasn't interested in money, his happiest moments were...

After finishing the documents, Cheng Yi got up, stretched, and decided to go out for a walk.

It's been a long time since I've been to a night market.

He picked up his phone, wanting to ask someone to go shopping with him, but found there was no one available.

Zhang Lingyu has now led a team to Singapore. Because Yu Sen went to Singapore, Lin Qingyin has temporarily taken over the highest technical department of Momo Group. Just maintaining the satellite signal keeps her extremely busy every day.

Cheng Yi thought for a moment, then called Sun Baxin and said with a smile, "Hey Baxin, are you free tonight? Let's grab a drink."

Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he and Sun Baxin hadn't eaten together in a long time; the last time they ate together seemed to be back in last year.

“Okay, where to?” Sun Baxin answered decisively, but there was a hint of unease in his tone.

This is the tragedy of being alone.

Even Sun Baxin, known for his sharp tongue, lost his previous nonchalance when facing Cheng Yi.

After calling Sun Baxin, Cheng Yi wanted to call two more people, but found that he didn't have many friends left to call.

Surprisingly, he has very few friends who he can have a drink with at a street-side barbecue stall.

If he wanted to find someone to drink with, he could make a phone call and attract half of the celebrities in Jingzhou. But these people, besides flattering him and offering him endless toasts, could not provide him with any emotional value.

But people like Sun Baxin, who can drink and chat with him, are truly rare.

Aside from the initial team, only his three roommates remained.

However, his three roommates are all busy with their own things now.

Inspired by Cheng Yi, Fei Zhengyu set up a small game company in the Momo Technology Industrial Park, focusing on developing card games for raising girls. He is currently working on it and the game will be released by the end of the year.

His small game company was also given key support by Kong Feng. Although the company only had a dozen or so people, it was small but complete.

Meng Gang chose to stay at the university and temporarily serve as an assistant to Lin Shengjie, the current director of the president's office and director of the personnel department of Handong University.

Zhuang Ming passed the selection exam for civil servants just like in his previous life, but instead of choosing a western city, he went to the National Poverty Alleviation Office where Lin Hua worked, on Cheng Yi's advice.

Zhuang Ming is in Yanjing, while Meng Gang has gone to Guangdong Province on official business with Lin Shengjie. Of the three people in the dormitory, only Fei Zhengyu, who is now buried in his work, remains.

Cheng Yi made a phone call to Fei Zhengyu, who immediately replied, "No problem. I know a really good barbecue stall in the urban village of Shinan District. We can go there and have a great meal."

At this moment, deep within an urban village in the Shinan District.

On the glass door of a shady internet cafe without even a sign, a handwritten red paper was pasted crookedly: Audition Online, high-speed experience, guaranteed to be awesome.
