Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 340 Lin'an ByteDance! (First Update!)

But this matter can only be carried out in secret, not openly, otherwise Ke Yonghuai would definitely bite off his own head.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yi got up and walked back to his desk, took out several sheets of A4 paper from the printer, and also took out two pens. He then returned to Ke Yonghuai with these items:

"Now that Secretary Ke has a clear direction, let's seize the day and finalize it today."

"Now that the direction is decided, Secretary Ke, you can go back and prepare, and I can also prepare here."

"What does Secretary Ke think?"

After asking the question, Lin Yi pushed one of the pens and A4 sheets of paper in front of Ke Yonghuai, then lowered his head and wrote down everything Ke Yonghuai had just said.

Mark the key points one by one.

Seeing how quickly he acted, Ke Yonghuai's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled gently, "Okay!"

He picked up a pen, the nib gliding across the A4 paper. "This communication software needs to clearly showcase our e-commerce environment and our products."

"Mr. Lin, how do you think we should present it?"

On the other end, Lin Yi was about to say something about live streaming, but then suddenly remembered that there was no live streaming at this time.

No, it was broadcast live on TV.

The effect of the live TV broadcast was just a little... not very good.

Lin Yi touched the space between his eyebrows and asked, "Did you watch the live broadcast on TV?"

"Seen!"

Have you seen Acorn International's ads? You know, the ones that advertise.

"I've seen them! I've seen both of the things you mentioned, but the question is, are they related to what we're discussing?"

"Yes!" Lin Yi wrote the words "live TV broadcast" on the A4 paper with his pen, and then drew a line below the word "live TV".

After crossing that out, he wrote another word on the paper—Niconico animation.

Seeing Lin Yi begin to write, Ke Yonghuai immediately stopped what he was doing and focused his attention on the A4 paper in front of Lin Yi.

He didn't ask when Lin Yi was writing the live TV broadcast.

When Lin Yi swiped the TV off, he didn't ask any questions.

But when Lin Yi wrote down an unfamiliar word, Ke Yonghuai asked, "What is this?"

"A Japanese anime commenting website!"

Japanese anime commenting websites?
Ke Yonghuai chewed on those words repeatedly, and finally shook his head helplessly: "If it's animation, then it might be a bit troublesome."

"And I don't think this has anything to do with what we're going to talk about."

The sudden words startled Lin Yi for a moment.

Once he regained his composure, it only took him a few seconds to understand the trouble Ke Yonghuai had been talking about.

Animation!

At the beginning of the century, the Chinese people were striving forward.

At this point in time, animation and games are two heinous villains.

They are people who turn pale at the mere mention of their names, villains who must be killed with a knife just by being mentioned.

Many parents have even spontaneously organized to boycott these cartoons and games.

Among these people are those who are genuinely resisting, those who are taking advantage of the situation, and even some who are organizers.

Lin Yi didn't want to say much to these people, because it would be a waste of breath.

The pen put a checkmark next to the name, and Lin Yi said calmly:

"There are relationships!"

Then, he raised his head and looked Ke Yonghuai straight in the eye: "I'm asking you, when you were watching the live TV broadcast, did you feel involved?"

"Especially during those live TV broadcasts where products are being introduced, don't think, just answer me!"

"Look into my eyes and answer me!"

"No!" Ke Yonghuai answered without hesitation.

Lin Yi wasn't surprised by this answer. He picked up an A4 sheet of paper, doodled on it, and then wrote a few words next to the doodle.

He then held up the A4 sheet of paper and held it up in front of Ke Yonghuai:

"Look at this picture, look at the text on it, do you want to read it?"

Do you want to see it?

Across from him, noticing Lin Yi's actions, Duan Feiteng stood up abruptly, pointing his right hand at Lin Yi. Just as he was about to speak, Ke Yonghuai pressed him back down.
“I will subconsciously try to see these words clearly, and try to match the content of these words with the pattern you drew.”

Snapped.

Under the watchful eyes of Ke Yonghuai and the other man, Lin Yi snapped his fingers and said, "Alright, we've got the most basic sense of interaction."

"In other words, we now have the most basic logic for developing this software."

"Secretary Ke, do you understand?"

Duan Feng was very unhappy with Lin Yi's cryptic behavior, but that was all. Ke Yonghuai was right next to him; he was his boss. If his boss didn't say anything, then as his secretary, he naturally couldn't speak.

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Ke Yonghuai stared at the A4 paper, at the pattern on the A4 paper, and at the barrage of comments.

After a long while, his eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, our software will do something like live TV broadcasting?"

"But we have one more thing."

"That is, the so-called bullet comments. These bullet comments can make commenters feel involved and participate."

“Once they have that feeling, we’ve succeeded.”

"Is it right?"

“That’s right!” Lin Yi nodded without hesitation.

The main reason for the rise of live streaming is that it allows participants to obtain the emotional value they desire.

Of course, money is also an important factor.

Having received confirmation from Lin Yi, Ke Yonghuai lowered his head and began to combine these things with the direction he had just proposed.

No format is more suitable for showcasing products and fostering cultural exchange than live streaming.

If you add live chat during the live stream, viewers can participate.

That will make both the person doing the live stream and the viewers feel a sense of participation, and with that feeling, they will continue to participate.

The idea was wonderful, but reality was harsh.

As the Party Secretary of Lin'an, Ke Yonghuai had seen and participated in live television broadcasts, and some of the interviewees on these broadcasts were even himself.

For each interview, TV reporters need to drive several cars, set up antennas, and run cables.

What I want is to showcase the products and the culture of Lin'an, which requires a multi-faceted approach. However, this so-called live stream only has one shot, which is far from meeting my needs.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Based on the information he had gathered, Lin Yi was very intelligent and would not do anything without a purpose.

Since he mentioned this, it means he has a solution. Thinking this, Ke Yonghuai crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and began to scrutinize Lin Yi:
"We have a lot of products to showcase."

"The TV station only has one camera. I'd like to know, if you were to do a similar live broadcast, how would you address the issue of showcasing these products?"

When Ke Yonghuai said these words, his face was extremely serious, and in the end, he simply turned into an iceberg.

This time, Lin Yi didn't scribble or draw on the A4 paper; instead, he spoke directly:

"That's why we need to make software, to make software that's different from others."

"However, compared to software, I think Secretary Ke, you have an even more important task."

"That is to get the operators in the province to complete the transition from 3G to 4G as soon as possible."

"This is even more important than building our own company or developing software."

"Because these software programs are highly dependent on data traffic."

What Lin Yi said next left Ke Yonghuai speechless. What Lin Yi was referring to was the expansion of infrastructure construction.

Is it important?
important.

However, the three major telecom operators involved in all of this cannot be commanded by him with just a few words.

This requires real money and genuine policy support.

After a long silence, Ke Yonghuai, with a stern face, agreed to the matter:
"This matter will only benefit us and will not harm us. Don't worry, I will make this happen."

"But efficiency may have to be reduced."

"May I?"

Lin Yi neither directly refused nor directly agreed. Instead, he lowered his head and wrote a few words on an A4 sheet of paper with a pen to express his answer.

【Company Name!】

After writing those words, he looked up again, pressed his right index finger against them, and asked, "Secretary Ke, what do you think this company should be called?"

The person on the sofa leaned forward, took the paper with the company name written on it, picked up a pen, and wrote two words after the company name.

Lin'an

After writing those two words, he placed the paper back in front of Lin Yi:

“Our Lin’an Municipal Government’s investment group is willing to invest 1200 million yuan and then obtain 60% control of the company. As for Mr. Lin, you only need to invest 800 million yuan to obtain the remaining 40% of the shares.”

"I think this allocation is very reasonable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi crossed his arms, forming a negative gesture in front of himself:

"Secretary Ke, look at you, you're asking for an exorbitant amount again."

"You're taking my plans, then trying to seduce me, take my money, and finally expect me to make money for you."

"This is highly unscientific!"

"Conversely, I will contribute 1200 million yuan, of which 600 million yuan will be in cash, and the remaining 600 million yuan will be converted using technology."

"I think this plan is more suitable, what do you think?"

Faced with Lin Yi's proposal, Ke Yonghuai shook his head and rejected it without hesitation: "Impossible, state-owned funds must play a dominant role..."

He refuted Lin Yi's words, and Lin Yi followed suit, refusing his words as well:
"The Law on State-Owned Assets of Enterprises only requires that state-owned funds be used in important areas to ensure the state's control, but it does not directly stipulate the share."

"We have no shortage of funds."

"We don't lack partners either."

“Even the things we just talked about, I can talk about with people in Suzhou, people in Nanjing, or even people from any place across the country after you leave.”

"The proposal I'm proposing is the bare minimum I can accept. If Secretary Ke finds it unacceptable, then our cooperation will have to stop here."

"Secretary Ke can return to Lin'an now."

"If we go back quickly, we can still have dinner."

Before Ke Yonghuai could make a move, Duan Feng, who was next to him, stood up again, ready to say a few words, but before he could open his mouth, Ke Yonghuai pressed him back down.

The two people opposite him, Zheng Yanming and Zheng Yanming, also wanted to say a few words, but they were silenced before they could even open their mouths.

Stopping the man, Ke Yonghuai looked up and asked a question he desperately wanted to know:

"If Mr. Lin leads the team, how long will it take to develop such software, and how long will it take for us to start making a profit?"

"It's no use taking it out!" Lin Yi shook his head and stated a fact with a smile:
"As I just mentioned, Secretary Ke, you have an even more important task."

"Now, I'll explain it again."

"Using this type of software requires a high-performance mobile phone and a strong data network."

"Neither of these two things are available now, and at the current pace, it will take at least four years."

"If Secretary Ke can promote this within Yue Province and complete the 4G network construction as soon as possible, then we can probably make a profit in Yue Province in about two or three years."

"If Secretary Ke feels that this is taking too long and is not appropriate, then we can change the subject."

"For example, what temperature should the water be boiled to for brewing tea today? Should sugar be added? If so, how many grams should be added, and from where should the sugar be added?"

The words were casual and natural, but Ke Yonghuai knew very well that the person opposite him was very serious.

If you say even half a "no" to someone, they will actually start discussing these pointless things with you.

But if we don't gain an advantage now, we'll have no chance at all later.

I wanted to say something, but in the end, reason prevailed over emotion.

If I don't agree now, there will be no future.

If I refuse Lin Yi today, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after, someone from the next city will come looking for me and reach an agreement with Lin Yi.

Once they start making money, the surrounding cities will definitely try to mock them, especially the cities within the same province.

We can't give them the chance to laugh!

Having made up his mind, Ke Yonghuai raised his head: "Okay, let's do it your way!"

"Now let's choose a name for our company, and then quickly get the agreement ready, sign it, apply for a loan, and apply for a business license."

The other party relented and offered a way out, which pleased Lin Yi greatly. He picked up his pen and wrote a few words after "Lin'an".

ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd.
When put together, it becomes Lin'an ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd.

Lin Yi pressed his finger against the A4 paper, spun it around once, placed it in front of Ke Yonghuai, got up and walked back to his desk, picked up the phone on his desk, and dialed Dai Zhifeng in the legal department.

In about ten minutes, Dai Zhifeng, carrying a large stack of documents, walked into the office with several other people.
"Boss, this is the cooperation agreement you just mentioned on the phone."

"Take a look."

Lin Yi took the documents and immediately placed them in front of Ke Yonghuai.

Ke Yonghuai took the documents and waved to Huo Chen across from him. Huo Chen quickly came to his side and studied the agreement with him.

Half an hour later, both parties signed their names, affixed their seals, and announced the official start of the cooperation.

After the two finished signing the agreement, Zhang Yiming, who was far away in Yanjing, suddenly trembled, then looked up at the sky in a daze.

I felt a sense of emptiness in my heart just now, as if something important had left me!
