Chapter 710 Tricks and Quirks
However, Li Le could not easily retaliate against Director Che, who was carrying out official business under the guise of Director Zhang. He smiled and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

"So, according to you, even if President Fang's parents come, they can't come in?!"

"Absolutely not!" Director Che said sternly. "Of course, if we receive a call from Director Zhang or Bank Manager Fang, we can let them go!"

shit
What a fucking stubborn person!

Li Le cursed inwardly, but didn't say anything, so he took out his phone and dialed Fang Qingye's number.

"Qingye, I'm at the entrance of the nursery right now. Chief Che from the Chengbei Police Station stopped me. I can't get in without your phone number."

"Oh, give the phone to Director Che, and I'll talk to him."

Li Le handed his phone to Director Che through the car window. Director Che said a few words and then smiled as he returned the phone to Li Le.

"Mr. Li, please come in."

Li Le didn't say anything, got out of the car and walked straight into the nursery.

Inside the nursery, Fang Qingye said to Ma Yun, "My friend is here. Would you like to come to my office for an interview?"

"No need, this place is fine."

Upon hearing that Ma Yun was going to interview students applying to Lakeside University, several people nearby also became interested.

It's said that Lakeside University has extremely strict admission requirements, and that Ma Yun's interview questions were tricky and bizarre. Is that really the case?
As a result, Li Le walked through the path in the nursery and came to the yard, where he saw the scene.

Next to Ma Yun sat five men, all staring at him.

He recognized it.

The bespectacled, bookish-looking Ma Huateng! And isn't that Lei Jun from Xiaomi with the side-parted hair? And the one with the serious face, doesn't he look like Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu?

I don't recognize the other two.

What the hell!

This is quite a sight.
Having traveled extensively and seen many ups and downs, Li Le suddenly felt a little nervous.

Fang Qingye greeted them with a smile, sat down in the chair opposite Ma Yun and the others, and asked Zhang Xiaorui to pour Li Le a cup of tea.

Ma Yun, holding a teacup and leaning back in her chair, looked at Li Le across from her with her signature smile: "Mr. Li, I heard from President Fang that you used to work in the traditional entertainment industry, but now you're moving towards e-sports arenas and online e-sports streaming?"

"Yes, this is the focus of Shengtai Company's transformation," Li Le answered truthfully.

"Okay, if you had to explain your business model to aliens in three sentences, what would you say?"

To aliens? Three sentences?

Li Le was completely stunned.

What is the problem?
All the plans and answers I prepared beforehand are completely useless.

Li Le immediately tensed up.

However, his mind worked quickly, and after a moment of thought, he said:
"Principal Ma, this is how I would answer."

Li Leqing cleared his throat and said, "Traditional offline entertainment formats are facing a structural collapse due to the shift of Gen Z's attention, while existing e-sports scenarios lack a paradigm of immersive experience, resulting in continuous pressure on user time monetization rates."

"By constructing a pan-entertainment digital twin field, with e-sports content as the underlying asset, and superimposing an immersive light and shadow matrix and KOL distributed nodes, we achieve quantum entanglement resonance of online and offline traffic."

"This model feeds back public domain exposure through private domain traffic, forming a flywheel effect of DAU-GTV-MAU, and ultimately completing a paradigm revolution in entertainment consumerism in the Web3.0 era."

Upon hearing Li Le's words, Fang Qingye was stunned, Ma Yun frowned, and Ma Huateng next to her couldn't help but laugh: "Boss Li, did some business plan packaging designer teach you to say that? And a third-rate one at that."

Li Le blushed upon hearing this.

Indeed, Li Le knew that he had only attended a junior college and hadn't studied enough. In order to pass the interview for Lakeside University, he went to Shanghai to find a financial advisor and studied for a period of time.

Fang Qingye is now somewhat worried.

shit
If you answer like that, be careful Jack Ma might smash a teacup over your head!

Li Le knew his answer was terrible, and looked to Fang Qingye for help, as if to say, "I need your help urgently."

Fang Qingye coughed tactically and said with a smile, "Li Le, don't answer the question like that. Don't be so formal. Be more straightforward. You can answer like this:"

"Young people around the world don't like going to traditional nightclubs anymore; they prefer to socialize while playing games. But nowadays, esports arenas just have computers set up, making them as boring as libraries."

"We've packed nightclub lights, music, and internet celebrities into the esports arena, making playing games feel like attending a concert, and we can even stream it to the entire internet."

"Players pay for an immersive experience → influencers attract online viewers through live streaming → brands invest heavily in sponsorships → we use that money to host even more spectacular competitions, creating a snowball effect."

"Hahaha," Lei Jun, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "President Fang, your answer really understands Mr. Ma's mind."

Sure enough, Ma Yun nodded with a smile, then looked at Li Le and said, "See? Stop using so many new terms. I've heard them far too many times, they're boring. Speak plainly, use human language!"

"Principal Ma, I understand!" Li Le said quickly.

“Okay, let’s continue with the esports issue. I have a question for you: esports arenas require a large investment, how do you control costs?” Ma Yun asked.

“We use a light-asset model, partnering with existing nightclubs for renovations to reduce venue costs,” Li Le replied. “I own six nightclubs in Jinghai, and I can convert three of the more suitable ones into e-sports arenas.”

"The live streaming industry is highly competitive. What are your advantages?"

"On the one hand, we cultivate amateur streamers, and on the other hand, we encourage internet celebrities to cross over into esports, bringing their own audience."

Next, Ma Yun asked, "What are the 'invisible rules' of your industry? How do you plan to overturn them?"

"If tomorrow's policy changes wipe out your business, what's your Plan B?"

There's also the question, "Why would a company receptionist be willing to work for you for ten years?"

"If you had to lay off half your staff to survive, who would you lay off first?"
Such tricky and strange questions.

Li Le's answers were all correct.

In fact, Fang Qingye also knew that Li Le was not stupid. Among the rich second-generation kids in Nanxin, he was the smartest. Having learned from the first question, he tried to be more down-to-earth in his subsequent answers.

The interview lasted quite a while, almost forty minutes. Although it was winter, Fang Qingye noticed that Li Le was already covered in sweat.

Finally, Ma Yun took a sip of tea before saying, "Mr. Li, you've passed my interview. Come to the school next year!"

"Thank you, thank you." Li Le was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly stood up to respectfully refill Ma Yun's teacup, not forgetting to refill the teacups of the other guests present as well.

After doing all this, Li Le took his leave.

Although he really wanted to stay here, he knew it wasn't the right time yet.

Fang Qingye asked Zhang Xiaorui to escort him to the gate of the nursery.

After Li Le left, Ma Yun looked at Fang Qingye and asked, "President Fang, would you be interested in coming to Lakeside University to teach?"
