The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 236 Possessing Extraordinary Powers (4k)

"Chairman Xie, this is terrible!"

Lei Yibin's opening statement left Xie Baoquan completely bewildered.

"Chairman Lei..."

What do you mean by that?

Xie Baoquan asked tentatively, a bad feeling suddenly rising in his heart.

"Chairman Xie, please stop immediately."

Lei Yibin sighed and said, "That Xingchuan International Group is not something you can afford to mess with."

Upon hearing this, Xie Baoquan's expression became somewhat uncertain.

He originally thought that Lei Yibin was calling to mediate and make peace, but he didn't expect that the other party was calling to persuade him to surrender.

"Chairman Lei, I can stop."

Xie Baoquan frowned and said, "But you have to tell me, why can't I afford to offend Xingchuan International Group?"

"Xingchuan International Group is Gu Heng's business, and Gu Heng is the same Gu Heng who recently spent over 70 million yuan in one night on Douyin live streaming."

"He just called me and asked me to pass on a message to you. He said..."

Lei Yibin thought of Gu Heng's domineering words and took a deep breath: "Did he say he was giving you too much face? If you want to compare who has more cash flow, he's always ready to play."

King Heng?

King Heng!!!

When Xie Baoquan first heard this name, he was stunned for a few seconds, then his eyes widened instantly, and he jumped up from his chair.

Heng Wang's name is known to everyone in the live streaming industry.

A night cruise on the Huangpu River cost a whopping 70 million yuan.

That night, the opponent forced five level 75 players and hundreds of top players above level 70 to delete their accounts.

More than three months later, the relevant video clips from that night still have extremely high popularity and traffic across the entire internet.

【King Heng】, became a god in one battle.

Nowadays, the other party is vaguely known online as the "Number One Tycoon on the Internet".

Since that night, [Hengwang] has disappeared and has never appeared in any live streaming room again.

Xie Baoquan never expected that he would cross paths with the other party in such a way by sheer coincidence.

Thinking of the message Lei Yibin had relayed, Xie Baoquan panicked.

Who has more cash flow, [Hengwang] or [Hengwang]?

That's practically a joke.

Take his Qingcheng Entertainment for example. Its valuation is at most 200 million. Even if he includes all the money in the company's books and takes out all the money in his pocket, it would be difficult for him to raise 50 million in cash.

The money that others casually let slip through their fingers is already more than his entire current net worth. How can he compare to them?
If you really anger them, they'll spend 50 million to hire online trolls and hackers, so they don't have to do anything but target all the streamers under Qingcheng Entertainment.

For others, this amount of money may be insignificant and painless, but for Qingcheng Entertainment, this kind of behavior is enough to drag the entire company into an abyss.

Most importantly, there is that "Prince Heng," who is said to have considerable influence in the Yangtze River Delta region.

The reason he dared to retaliate against Xingchuan International Group so recklessly was because all of their businesses were located in the north, and all of them were real industries, making them inaccessible to him, who was located in the Yangtze River Delta region.

But that [Prince Heng] was different. If he was really angered, the whip in the other party's hand could be lashed across his face at any moment.

They are wealthy and influential in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Even Lei Yibin, who is practically a big shot in the industry, has to treat Xie Baoquan with utmost respect. What is Xie Baoquan compared to him?
If he had known earlier that such a powerful figure was behind Xingchuan International Group, he wouldn't have dared to harbor any wicked thoughts, even if he had ten times the courage.

"Chairman Lei, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Xie Baoquan's voice trembled slightly: "Is that really the person behind Xingchuan International Group?"

"What do you mean?"

"You think I'm trying to fool you with some nonsense?"

Lei Yibin's tone instantly turned much colder: "Believe it or not, I've already relayed his message to you at his request."

"No, no, no!"

"I believe it!"

"Chairman Lei, that's not what I meant!"

Xie Baoquan realized he had just made a fuss, and he quickly tried to make amends: "I will remember Chairman Lei's kindness in helping me out at this time and preventing me from causing a disaster."

"Chairman Xie, you have time to talk to me about this now, why don't you hurry up and tell your men to stop?"

Seeing that Xie Baoquan was somewhat sensible, Lei Yibin softened his tone again: "If your men really manage to shut down Chairman Gu's group broadcast debut, then there will be no way to salvage the situation."

"Yeah!"

Xie Baoquan only then realized what was happening. He quickly took the phone away from his mouth and shouted to his trusted confidant sitting on the sofa not far away, "Ahui, hurry, hurry, hurry..."

"Chairman Xie, we're almost there!"

"I just dispatched another 3,000+ online trolls, and they're reporting us like crazy right now!"

"In my opinion, we have a very good chance of shutting down their live stream!"

Zheng Hui didn't even look up, and loudly responded to Xie Baoquan.

Xie Baoquan, who was already extremely anxious, felt his vision go black again and again when he heard Zheng Hui's response, and his face turned an unnatural red.

"stop!"

"stop!"

"Didn't you understand when I said stop?"

Xie Baoquan rushed in front of them, instantly transforming into the Roaring Emperor.

"what?"

Zheng Hui and the others were stunned by Xie Baoquan's words, their expressions filled with astonishment.

"Withdraw all online trolls!"

"Stop all hacking attacks!"

"Did you understand?"

After yelling at Zheng Hui and the others again, Xie Baoquan turned around and strode back to his desk. He took several deep breaths before picking up his phone again: "Chairman Lei, I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

"I have already told them to stop. Could you please tell that person that today's matter was a complete misunderstanding, and I absolutely had no intention of offending them?"

Xie Baoquan adopted a very humble attitude and pleaded with Lei Yibin.

"Chairman Xie, this puts me in a bit of a difficult position."

"You said you maliciously attacked someone's live stream for more than two hours, and now you want me to tell them it was all a misunderstanding? How am I supposed to tell them that?"

"If you're going to apologize, then you have to be sincere about it, right?"

Lei Yibin's tone became somewhat meaningful at the end.

"understand!"

"Chairman Lei, just tell that guy to watch my performance!"

"Mistakes must be corrected, and the attitude must be sincere!"

Xie Baoquan was no fool for building such a large business; he immediately understood what Lei Yibin meant.

"Row."

"Since Chairman Xie has already spoken, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse again."

Seeing that Xie Baoquan was somewhat sensible, Lei Yibin was willing to go along with it and do Xie Baoquan a favor: "I will convey Chairman Xie's apology to Chairman Gu on his behalf. I hope Chairman Xie will keep his word and not slap me in the face later."

"Thank you, Chairman Lei!"

Xie Baoquan said sincerely, "I will keep this in mind. I hope Chairman Lei will give me a chance to express my gratitude in the future!"

"It's easy to talk about."

Lei Yibin chuckled and replied, "I'll call Chairman Gu back now. Chairman Xie, please hurry."

"Okay, okay!" Xie Baoquan exchanged a few more polite words with Lei Yibin before hanging up the phone.

He stood there in silence for a long time.

"Grass--!"

When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems!

Xie Baoquan suddenly swung his right arm, sweeping all the documents on the table onto the floor.

Then, with a sullen face, he walked toward Zheng Hui and the others.

Zheng Hui and the others, who were sitting on the sofa and trembling with fear because of Xie Baoquan, immediately stood up when they saw Xie Baoquan striding towards them.

"Notify all streamers in the company with more than one million followers that, no matter where they are, they must all go to the [Xingchuan001] live stream room and send ten rockets to each of them."

Xie Baoquan instructed in a deep voice, "Notify the company's public relations department to use our company account as well, and start sending a Carnival message every two minutes from now until the other party's live stream ends."

"Ok."

"I will pass the word down immediately."

Zheng Hui didn't know why Xie Baoquan's attitude changed so drastically after he finished a phone call, but judging from Xie Baoquan's reactions and expressions, he could guess the reason.

It's obvious they've really messed up this time.

……

Xingchuan International Group, Headquarters Building.

In the live broadcast room, after Gu Heng finished his call, he calmly said to Chu Zhengxiong and the others, "Let's wait for news."

"it is good."

Chu Zhengxiong responded, then turned his gaze to the dual-screen displaying the live feed. The comments scrolling below were still filled with insults and profanities.

'Um? '

Has the number of online trolls increased?

Chu Zhengxiong and the others keenly sensed this situation, and for a moment they all looked somewhat puzzled, but none of them said anything.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed since Gu Heng finished his call.

The online trolls' insults and the hackers' attacks have not stopped.

"Chairman Gu..."

Chu Zhengxiong hesitated for a moment: "How about we think of another way?"

However, just as Chu Zhengxiong uttered these words...

The network technician who was sitting on the right side of the control panel suddenly stood up from his chair, his tired face beaming with excitement and exhilaration.

"Distinguished leaders, the hacker attack has stopped!"

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up immediately.

They both turned to look at the dual-screen display, only to find that the comment section, which had just been filled with insults and profanities, had quietly become clear and bright.

The number of viewers in the live stream, which originally approached 10,000, instantly decreased by more than 4,000.

"The Blackwater Army has also completely disappeared!"

Many senior executives of the group looked at Gu Heng in front of them and suddenly felt that he had become mysterious and unpredictable.

The problem that had been troubling them for over two hours, a problem that even Chu Zhengxiong couldn't solve, was resolved by Gu Heng with just a casual phone call.

"Buzz..."

Just as the Blackwater Army disappeared from [Xingchuan 001], Gu Heng's cell phone, which was in his pocket, rang.

Gu Heng answered the phone; the caller was Lei Yibin.

"Chairman Gu, I have already conveyed your message to Xie Baoquan."

Lei Yibin relayed to Gu Heng, "He said that today's matter was a complete misunderstanding, that he had no intention of offending you, and that he would do his best to make up for his mistake and show you his performance."

"I see."

"I'll have to trouble Chairman Lei with this matter."

Gu Heng spoke softly as always: "If Chairman Lei's Dance & Play Media has any large-scale events in the future that require my attendance, Chairman Lei, please feel free to ask."

Dance & Play Media?

The group executives surrounding Gu Heng all changed their expressions upon hearing the company name Gu Heng mentioned and recalling the title he used.

The person Gu Heng was talking to...

Could it be Lei Yibin, the boss of Wuyou Media?!
That's the industry leader!

"Chairman Gu, you're too kind."

When Lei Yibin heard Gu Heng say that, he politely echoed Gu Heng's words, but in reality, he was overjoyed. This was a great opportunity to gain favor from both sides, which was simply too good to be true.

Just as Gu Heng and Lei Yibin were exchanging pleasantries, a sudden barrage of rockets appeared in the [Xingchuan001] live stream room. Upon checking the profiles of the users who sent the gifts, it turned out that they were all top internet celebrities from Qingcheng Entertainment, each with over a million followers.

After a barrage of rockets, the carnival's gift effects reappeared in the live stream, this time with Qingcheng Entertainment's official account directly participating.

This scene left Chu Zhengxiong and the others completely dumbfounded.

They just hired online trolls and hackers to launch a massive attack on their live stream, but now they're showering their live stream with gifts.

Chu Zhengxiong and the others originally thought it would be quite remarkable if the other party would give up, and they never expected that the other party would do this.

Is this an apology?

Or should they beg for mercy?

Everyone knew very well that the other party's current attitude stemmed entirely from the phone call Gu Heng had just made.

What exactly is it about Gu Heng that makes the other party so terrified just by saying a few words?

"Chairman Lei, I've seen his performance."

Gu Heng looked at the rockets and carnivals flashing on the dual screens and said calmly, "In that case, let's just drop this matter."

"okay."

"I will convey Mr. Gu's message later."

Lei Yibin responded with a smile.

After exchanging a few more polite words, the two ended the call.

"Chairman Gu, who is that on the phone...?"

After seeing Gu Heng finish his call, Chu Zhengxiong tentatively asked him.

Lei Yibin, Chairman of Wuyou Media.

Gu Heng didn't try to hide anything and said truthfully, "I've had one interaction with him, so we can be considered acquaintances."

"Chairman Gu is truly incredibly resourceful."

"The problem that had been bothering us for more than two hours was solved by Chairman Gu with just one phone call."

Chu Zhengxiong remarked with some emotion, "Chairman Gu is truly a timely help for our group!"

"no big deal."

Gu Heng waved his hand: "After Xingchuan Entertainment gets on track in a while, I can contact Lei Yibin again and give our Xingchuan Entertainment management team a learning opportunity to visit and exchange ideas."

"Hey!"

"That would be great!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhengxiong was overjoyed.

As an industry leader, Wuyou Media's extensive management experience and operational skills are extremely beneficial to the newly established Xingchuan Entertainment.

Gu Heng smiled and turned to look at the seven girls dancing energetically.

"The root cause of the traffic restriction problem has been solved, now..."

"All that's left is to attract traffic, right?"
