After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 427 The Number One Conman on the Internet

Although information wasn't as readily available as in later generations, it was close enough.

Qi Mingyue, a grown woman, surely knows that the body automatically secretes hormones when lust arises?

That's why Liang Can said Qi Mingyue was very radiant.

After washing her underwear in the sink, Qi Mingyue raised her wet hands to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear and looked at herself in the mirror.

Because she hadn't slept well last night, her originally bright and clear eyes were now somewhat bloodshot, giving her a haggard and poignant beauty.

At this moment, Qi Mingyue's first reaction was:
Liang Can must not see me like this, or he will definitely lose his beastly nature!
Women admire the strong, and men cherish the weak; this has always been the case.

"Ugh"

Qi Mingyue sighed heavily, then turned on the tap and washed her face with the cold water to clear away the various lewd thoughts in her mind.

Strangely enough, Qi Mingyue has never seen Liang Can without clothes on.

The dream is so realistic, and the details are so clear.

Even now, Qi Mingyue can still recall what Liang Can looked like without clothes.

'Could it really be as I imagine?' A question suddenly arose in Qi Mingyue's mind.

Thinking of this, she was suddenly overjoyed and immediately scooped up a handful of water with both hands to wash her face.

Oh my god, before I met Liang Can, I never really thought about things between men and women.

The person who caused all of this has already arrived at Baidu headquarters in a Bentley Continental.

After parking the car, Liang Can looked up at the building, put his hands in his pockets, and felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including nostalgia or reflection).

What a blessed place!

Currently, Baidu is still one of the three internet giants, but in a few years, it will be squeezed out by ByteDance.

But it is obvious that I, Liang Can, will be the one to bring Baidu down from its pedestal in the future.

Upon entering the building, Liang Can approached the reception desk: "Hello, I'm Liang Can. I had an appointment with General Manager Li to meet today."

When the pretty receptionist saw Liang Can, she paused for a moment before quickly saying, "Hello, Mr. Liang. The general manager's office told me in advance, please come with me."

"Thank you," Liang Can said with a smile. "Actually, I was even more nervous than you. After all, this is my first time at the famous Baidu. I really envy employees like you who work for big companies."

The receptionist pursed her lips and replied softly, "Mr. Liang, I can't really be considered a Baidu employee; I'm an outsourced employee."

"Really? Then I'll suggest to Mr. Li later that it's a waste to have such a talented person like you working as an outsourcer."

Liang Can smiled and added the receptionist on WeChat, but regretted it as soon as he came to his senses.

Damn it, Liang Can, you still think you're that little entrepreneur from back then. To attract people and enrich your account content, you add anyone's WeChat, whether they're an urban white-collar worker or a foot masseuse.

The receptionist, who had already added Liang Can on WeChat, looked at Liang Can with excitement and admiration, clutching her phone tightly to her chest.

It looked like they were protecting some incredible treasure.

Seeing this, Liang Can smiled and thought, "Oh well, let's just consider it an opportunity to surprise a stranger."

Upon arriving at the floor where Li Yanhong's office was located, a woman who looked like a secretary quickly ran over: "Mr. Liang, you've arrived ahead of time. I was originally going to come downstairs to meet you."

"I got up early and had nothing to do, so I came early."

Liang Can said with a smile, "If Mr. Li is not available right now, I will wait a while."

"President Li ended the meeting early and is already waiting for you in his office. He attaches great importance to our conversation today."

Before Liang Can even reached the office, he saw a handsome, imposing man in a white shirt and black trousers standing in the corridor, hands on his hips, waiting for him.

"Liang Can, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are truly extraordinary."

Li Yanhong extended his hand first, taking the initiative to greet him.

Liang Can took three steps at a time and stretched out his hand as well.

The two most handsome young people on the internet have finally met.

"Mr. Li, I've long admired your name."

"Please come in. Tea, coffee, or a carbonated drink?"

"Coke is fine."

Liang Can walked into Li Yanhong's office.

Compared to their business conversations, Li Yanhong was clearly very interested in Liang Can as a person.

After all, the person in front of you is: the founder of Qingning Technology, an outstanding college student in Zhejiang Province, a role model for post-90s entrepreneurs, and a self-made billionaire at the age of 19.

"Xiao Liang, what are your thoughts on this journey?" Li Yanhong asked curiously.

Without hesitation, Liang Can said, "Once you've made up your mind, just go for it. Whether you succeed or not, we'll see after we've done it."

"Haha, that's the same mentality we had back then."

"The right mindset will never be outdated, no matter the era."

"well said."

Li Yanhong picked up his teacup, took a sip, and began to get to the point.

“I’ve spoken with Manjiao, and you’re about to launch on a short video platform as well. What do you think should be done about Manjiao’s current predicament?”

Liang Can smiled and said, "President Li, how could I possibly give advice to my future competitors?"

"Let's release one."

Li Yanhong rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, then looked at Liang Can: "After all, reporting your own colleague doesn't sound good if word gets out, does it?"

You insulted the neighbor, do you have any evidence to slander me?

I'm retracting my respect for you.

This crappy search engine keeps pushing abortion ads to our kids every day. Screw it!

Liang Can calmly said, "Why is President Li so sure that I reported it? Why can't it be ByteDance? They are also preparing a short video platform in full swing, and they have a history of doing so. They almost took me to court before."

"Isn't that because you poached their core team?"

"Which law stipulates that workers cannot resign? We workers have the right to choose."

Li Yanhong said with a smile, "You're really sharp-tongued. No wonder you've achieved such remarkable results at such a young age." Liang Can smiled without saying a word, picked up his iced cola and took a swig.

Seeing that Liang Can remained silent, Li Yanhong took the initiative to speak: "This is helping me, not slowing down my pace. I've invested a lot in slowing down my pace. In your opinion, will this investment pay off?"

"There should be."

"If I invest in you, will you give me a greater return?"

This is the most important reason why Li Yanhong wanted to see Liang Can.

He wanted to invest in Liang Can's short video platform, using both approaches simultaneously, hoping that one of them would succeed and generate profits.
This was exactly what Liang Can wanted.

He was prepared to firmly reject the handsome center forward.

Liang Can smiled and replied, "The investment in Qingning Technology's short video platform will be led by Dahui Capital. I am no longer worried about the funding. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Li."

"But the one you mentioned..."

Liang Can delivered his prepared statement: "The content ecosystem of Slow Foot is already set, and it will be difficult to change it. But if you don't want to be reported by ByteDance and taken down, it's best not to launch the live streaming function yet."

"Who said ByteDance reported it?"

"Let's assume it was ByteDance that reported it."

Liang Can looked at Li Yanhong and said, word by word, "But once my short video platform goes live, then it will be a three-way standoff where the two companies jointly report the other. We have to take down one of them first to break the deadlock."

If you dare to enable the live streaming function, I'll fight you to the bitter end.

This is Liang Can's attitude.

Li Yanhong was certainly not someone who could be easily intimidated.

But there's a premise here.

He himself opposes the vigorous development of live streaming and prefers to generate profits through advertising.

But as time went on, it became clear that to make money, you had to start live streaming.

Short videos + live streaming + e-commerce is the key to wealth in the short video era.

But nobody has figured it out yet. Even Zhang Yiming of ByteDance only has a vague concept in his mind; it hasn't taken shape yet.

This is the advantage of information asymmetry for those who have been reborn.

After a moment of silence, Li Yanhong stood up: "Xiao Liang, it's a pleasure to chat with you."

Liang Can downed his cola in one gulp: "It's nothing, but I hope it can help President Li."

dong dong~
There was a knock on the door.

Li Yanhong's secretary pushed open the door and entered. Upon seeing Liang Can, he hesitated to speak.

Li Yanhong looked up: "What is it? Just say it."

The secretary quickly walked to Li Yanhong's side and whispered something in his ear.

Liang Can vaguely understood the gist of it, and then immediately denied it: "President Li, I really didn't report it this time!"

The secretary just told Li Yanhong that Manjiao has received a large number of complaints, and relevant departments have begun to pay attention and have ordered rectification within a certain period of time, otherwise they will face huge fines, or even be prohibited from downloading Manjiao from online stores.

Li Yanhong looked at Liang Can and said in a flat tone, "Mr. Liang, I won't keep you for lunch today."

How stingy!

No problem, Liang Can is going to find a reliable roast duck restaurant to try authentic oven-roasted duck.

Place a few slices of duck meat with skin on the dough, add some shredded scallions and cucumber, and dip it in sweet bean sauce.
hiss.

When I was a kid, I watched the scene in "A World Without Thieves" where Rene Liu was eating roast duck, and it made Liang Can really drool.

In the afternoon, Liang Can was enjoying a delicious meal at a time-honored roast duck restaurant when news of Qi Shuping arrived.

"This round of reports against Kuaishou was partly spontaneous by netizens. Many people were new to Manjiao and had never seen such bizarre content before, so they reported it directly."

"But what's funny is that the number of new users on the slow-moving platform surged by an order of magnitude within a few hours!"

That's normal; some people hate it, and some people like it.

There are many potential users.

Liang Can asked, "Did ByteDance participate?"

"They must have been involved. Their platform development speed is very slow. If it were before, ByteDance would definitely not have done this, but with you relentlessly pursuing them, they have no choice but to resort to some underhanded tactics."

Liang Can: “?”

Mr. Qi, please watch your words.

I will get hurt.

"Mr. Qi, I'm going back to Hangzhou tonight and will head straight to the airport later. I've left the car here in Chaoyang; you can have someone come and pick it up."

Qi Shuping was somewhat surprised: "So you're in such a hurry to go back? Aren't you taking Mingyue with you?"

Liang Can smiled and said, "Let her stay and keep you company for a few days. I have to do her a favor, after all, President Qi, you have helped me a lot recently. This is called returning the favor."

"Alright, have a safe journey, see you in Hangzhou."

"Okay, see you in Hangzhou."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Can picked up the last lotus leaf pancake, ate it all, slung his bag over his shoulder, went out, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the airport.

Taxi drivers from all over the country are very talkative, and one of them even asked Liang Can, "Handsome guy, are you an actor?"

"No, I'm a programmer."

"That's a real waste of your face. With your looks, you could easily hook up with rich women at the bars near Workers' Stadium. I often go there to solicit customers. The rich women in our capital have such authentic class!"

"It is true?"

"I'm not from the capital, I'm not kidding!"

Liang Can stared at the driver for a long time, then clicked his tongue and said, "Really? But your accent doesn't sound like a local's. Are you from Hebei?"

The driver excitedly started banging on the steering wheel and started arguing with Liang Can about how he had moved from Yanjiao to Shunyi more than ten years ago.
