Chapter 17 Studio

As Jiang Yifeng walked out of the banquet hall, he saw Na Zha standing in the corridor, her face flushed red and her lips pouting.

"What's wrong? Who made you angry?"

Naza skillfully took Jiang Yifeng's arm and said angrily, "I just called Ayina and had a fight with her."

So that's what Moko.com does! They even tricked me into coming to Beijing! I'm so angry!

Today, upon arriving at the Americas Club and seeing Zhang Chaoyang bring so many models from Moko.net, even the most densely-minded person would understand the situation of Moko.net.

She was furious and had just called Ayina to confront her.

"Do you know what, Uncle? Ayina actually turned around and blamed me!" Naza became angrier as he spoke, and his voice rose. "She said I deleted her registration on Moko.com, causing her to lose a prize! She wants me to compensate her for her loss!"

So it turns out she invited me to Beijing to be a model just for the bonus!

The elevator doors opened, and Jiang Yifeng stepped inside. He comforted her, saying, "Don't be angry. Just don't associate with this kind of person anymore. On the bright side, she was our matchmaker."

Naza nodded and said, "Luckily I ran into the uncle, otherwise I would definitely be done for!"

"I thought you would say that you can stick to your principles and remain untainted by the mud."

"How could that be? I've never been smart since I was little, I would definitely be fooled by them!"

Naza was quite self-aware, which made Jiang Yifeng laugh heartily.

He patted the little head and said, "This has nothing to do with being smart or not. Anyway, it's over now, so don't bring it up again."

The model of websites like Moko.com exploits human weaknesses, and most people cannot resist such temptations.

Every generation has its own version of American Space Network.

In the era of live streaming, there were even organizations like MSN that would go to universities to find pretty female students from average families and lure them into becoming live streamers with the promise of signing fees.

Finally, step by step, he became the number one on the leaderboard.

It's fair to say that good-looking people face many temptations.

Back home, Naza suddenly asked, "Uncle, do you think I could become a big star with my looks?"

Why do you suddenly want to become a big star?

"Do all men like celebrities? Your eyes lit up when you talked about Gao Yuanyuan today!"

If I became a big star, you would definitely like me even more.

Seeing that Zaza looked jealous, Jiang Yifeng thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's the truth."

The saying goes, "When choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one." Men all hope that their home life will remain stable while they have affairs on the side.

Therefore, most successful men only want to interact with female celebrities, but they won't marry them.

Personally speaking, I would prefer that you be relatively unknown so you can be a good little woman to me.

But if you really want to be a star, I won't restrict your development; I'm still willing to offer you help.

People are selfish, especially successful men, who have generally risen through the ranks and are therefore more cold-blooded and rational.

A counterintuitive reality is that more men than women become "rich" through marriage.

By examining the rise to wealth of some Chinese entrepreneurs, you can discover this pattern.

Because women are relatively more emotional, while men mature later, they become much more rational once they do, making them harder for women to control.

From Jiang Yifeng's perspective, he naturally hoped to raise Nazha into his own caged bird, the simpler the better.

But this is unfair to Nazar.

Unexpectedly, Naza smiled and said, "Then I'll be your little woman, but you have to promise me you won't mess around with other women!"
I will try my best to learn housework, learn from my mother, and strive to be a virtuous woman.

Seeing Zhang Chaoyang's high-level game tonight must have been quite a shock to Naza.

She felt uneasy and needed her boyfriend's reassurance.

Jiang Yifeng nodded and promised, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who gets bored easily. I will definitely take responsibility to the end."

Naza didn't grasp the deeper meaning in Jiang Yifeng's words. She nodded in satisfaction and asked expectantly, "What movie are we watching tonight?"

"Today we're watching an art film from France, called Summer Story."

Summer Story tells the tale of a man who becomes entangled with three women on a summer island.

Naza didn't think much of it. She enjoyed the time she spent alone with Jiang Yifeng; the movie was just a lubricant for communication between the couple.

She herself didn't realize that after meeting Zhang Chaoyang at a high-level meeting and watching a movie with one man and three women, her mindset had already changed.

Jiang Yifeng had a very fulfilling few days. He filmed during the day and spent his evenings alone with Nazha.

By March 24th, filming for "The Hero Jiang Xiaoyu" was complete, and the next step was editing.

Jiang Yifeng did not start editing immediately. Instead, he joined everyone in recording a new episode of "Dapeng Debade"—Dongguan's "Polygamy" is torture for single people.

"Xiaofang, a female worker, has a boyfriend who has three girlfriends, and they all know about each other's existence."

Her boyfriend was an ordinary male factory worker from Sichuan named Li Bing.

Li Bing was not particularly handsome and had worked in Dongguan for ten years. In 2008, within a single year, Li Bing simultaneously had relationships with three female workers at the Chang'an Shangsha Science and Technology Park in Dongguan: he lived with one, dated one, and had one as a mistress.

"They all know each other," Li Bing said, adding that he was very honest with all three girls.

……

Male workers like Li Bing are not uncommon.

In some factories visited by reporters, it was considered quite normal for male workers to have relationships with several female workers simultaneously…

The phenomenon of polygamy in Dongguan has been reported before.

It recently became popular again on Baidu Tieba, sparking heated discussions.

The Dapeng Debade program team capitalized on the buzz and also reported on the matter.

The term "single dog" wasn't popular in 2009; the title of this episode was coined by Jiang Yifeng.

That's just how the world is; some suffer from drought while others are flooded.

Some people may not be good-looking, but they are bold and thick-skinned, and can have a lot of girlfriends. Others may have good conditions, but they are timid and can only be single.

Jiang Yifeng's choice of this title creates a strong contrast.

After finishing filming, Naza did not leave, but watched Jiang Yifeng and the others record a program.

After hearing Da Peng's broadcast, that little brain of hers went blank.

After the recording of the program ended, she repeatedly asked Jiang Yifeng questions.

Is this true?

"How many women can truly coexist peacefully with one boyfriend and even spend money on him?"

Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "This is a news report from CCTV, and several people involved have also revealed it on Baidu Tieba. Of course it's true."

Naza fell silent; this incident had a profound impact on her.

"Such an ordinary man can have several women, my boyfriend is so outstanding."

"If I want to be a good wife, shouldn't I be more generous?"

Some thoughts involuntarily arose in Naza's mind.

Jiang Yifeng said, "My studio is about to be established, and you are the first to sign a contract. I will give you 5% of the shares first, and you can receive dividends later."

After considering it for two days, Zhang Chaoyang felt that Jiang Yifeng's plan made sense and decided to launch the Sohu Creator Partner Program, first trying to sign a small group of video bloggers.

Let's see how the market reacts.

Jiang Yifeng was also allowed to open an account, and would even receive prominent promotion from Sohu.

For this suggestion, Zhang Chaoyang did not give Jiang Yifeng any further rewards.

The biggest reward is that they agreed to let Jiang Yifeng open an account independently and gave him ownership and profits of the account.

After some thought, Jiang Yifeng decided to set up a studio to operate the account in order to avoid taxes and develop the business.

He gave Naza 5% of the shares, partly out of guilt as a scumbag and to make amends; and partly as a way to keep Naza under control.

A 5% stake, no more, no less, will provide a steady stream of dividends, allowing Naza to develop a certain degree of economic dependence.

The shares also have a cash-out clause to prevent Naza from selling them for profit and losing control if the valuation becomes too high.

Naza was unaware of Jiang Yifeng's thoughts. Upon hearing that she also had shares, she was deeply moved and couldn't help but say, "Uncle, I will definitely treat you very well!"

Jiang Yifeng rubbed his spiky head and replied, "I'll be good to you too."

In Jiang Yifeng's view, love needs to be managed, especially financially.

He's not satisfied with just one woman; he wants to have two women in his life. So he'd rather be assertive and take the initiative in managing them.

Instead of being hesitant and indecisive, they ended up with nothing to show for their efforts.
