I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 169 Zhang An beats people, women, and old people.
With the college entrance examination season approaching, Zhang Da'an doesn't have much free time. He has been teaching online for a long time. Although the effect is okay, students only feel a sense of security when Zhang Da'an is on the front line in person.

Head Coach Zhang, who is comparable to a "mental nitrogen pump," now feels like the "chief instructor of 800,000 forbidden troops," except that his "forbidden troops" are probably the forbidden ones.

I get reported every day.

So annoying!
I was still staying in Beijing in early April. On the 10th, I attended a press conference held by the Beijing publicity department, mainly about the 10th International Television Week hosted by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and Beijing. It was scheduled for the 9th of next month.

This is almost like it was done on purpose, because Head Coach Zhang's birthday is May 10th. So if he comes to Beijing to attend the 10th International Television Week, he has to celebrate his birthday in Beijing too?
So Chief Instructor Zhang decided not to come. Anyway, "Zhang An Media" and "Zhang An Culture" had registered companies in Hong Kong and Hong Kong Island, so he could just send someone to support the Beijing Municipal Government as an overseas media organization.

After all, I don't know what got into them this time, but they actually put on a patriotic program as the main focus.

However, when I saw the news announcement that day, which stated that Beijing-based exhibitors accounted for 34% of the total number of exhibitors, an increase of 9 percentage points compared to the previous TV Week, it showed that Beijing is indeed the national cultural center... which makes sense.

This is not surprising.

To put it bluntly, these international film and television events are all about building connections and, incidentally, conducting copyright transactions.

Zhang Da'an registered companies in Hong Kong and Heung Shan O for this very purpose.

It's not just about making it easier to import foreign films and TV series; exporting them to the domestic market should also be easier.

The most typical example is the large-scale TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". If you can get the overseas rights to this masterpiece, you can still make a profit of $500,000 per episode.

Unfortunately, that won't work, because the overseas rights were sold many years ago for about five thousand US dollars per episode.

Although everyone eventually learned to be smarter, they weren't much smarter. Judging from the weakness of "Chen Xiaoer" and "Nongmei Dayan Zhu" in terms of copyright, the main creative team, or rather the creative team, could hardly play any role in the negotiations. So, for the party that benefits, it would be better to give a share to the foreigners than to give a share to the main creators.

After all, if you can give kickbacks to foreigners, the kickbacks are in foreign currency, which is much better than getting a pittance from the domestic market.
Zhang Da'an had previously had Fang Daqiao spend 60 million yuan to buy the copyright for MEDI ringback tones, which actually secured a fairly good niche in the ecosystem.

At this International Television Week, film and television organizations such as Japan's TBS, Hong Kong's TVB, Time Warner, and MTV had to negotiate with "Zhang An Media" and "Zhang An Culture".

It's not just about the ringback tone database; it also involves mobile websites and real-time billing systems.

Recruiting staff for a mobile website is manageable, with only slight differences in page design. However, a real-time billing system is a different story.

Based on its collaborative development with Jiangning Institute of Technology, Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd. also purchased multiple technology licenses from Huaban Company for a fixed price of US$80 million, payable in installments over five years.

This technology is a subsystem that won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award last year. There are only three such systems in the world. It was originally used to calculate traffic costs in real time, but its level of intelligence is quite high, which perfectly meets the current needs of Coach Zhang. It is very suitable for building an independent platform.

Buying the entire system is unnecessary, but it would be very cost-effective to separate the real-time billing system and apply the technology to the online sales terminals of "Zhang An Media" and "Zhang An Culture".

Eighty million US dollars isn't expensive. In five or ten years, eight hundred million US dollars will be nothing, and no one will sell it to you. You'll have to figure it out yourself.

Jiangning Institute of Technology itself has this technological reserve, and what it needs to do now is to integrate it into the next major product of "Zhang'an Electronics", the "mobile phone".

Zhang Da'an has been discussing this matter with the provincial mobile company for quite some time. Currently, because the "mobile wallpaper" service has shown the mobile company the feasibility of stable monetization of traffic, they have decided to fully invest in the "ringback tone service".

Now, because of the great success of the "Top Scholar Star" spring launch event, Zhang Da'an has already received a prepayment of 60 million yuan from the general agent in Beijing alone. Therefore, influential figures in Beijing have also been negotiating with "Zhang An Media" and "Zhang An Culture" regarding the general agent platform in Beijing.

It's mainly about copyright transactions. Some classic old songs, especially those with a strong historical significance like "Nothing to My Name," which used to fetch astronomical prices, can now be sold at a reduced price.

If necessary, the creators can be pressured into truly having "nothing," as long as Chief Instructor Zhang agrees to the "Imperial Army's" demands, the copyright is a huge bonus!
Fortunately, Coach Zhang thought to himself that he was not Coach Lin. He was not afraid of entering the "White Tiger Hall" and he did not know how to "Wind and Snow Mountain Temple". As a "three-time champion", he was a cultured person. How could he make things so difficult for others?

Therefore, they did not join powerful figures in cannibalism.

In business, business is business; that's Coach Zhang's rule.

No matter how strong you are, this rule will not change for the time being.

If things change, then his cameo appearance on "Xinwen Lianbo" with a 1.5-second shot... wouldn't that be a wasted cameo?

These businesses were all being carried out simultaneously, and all of them required the personal approval of Coach Zhang. So throughout the spring, he was essentially working two jobs at once.

Even so, Zhang Da'an still hasn't forgotten the "Ango Cup," the "roadshow" of "The God of Slaughter," or giving large lectures and multimedia classes to the students of Xindongweigang Middle School.

Many contracts were signed on the road. The legal team doubled its size in one go. There was no other way. If you really said you wouldn't hire or use law students in Beijing, how could that work?

Of course, the legal team doubled its size not just in Beijing, but also in Shanghai and Nanjing, and contracts were signed with two law firms.

Legal matters in Hong Kong and Heung Shan O are currently handled by a long-established law firm under the Southern Metropolis Daily.

To show their sincerity, they gifted the local law firm a Toyota Highlander and two Toyota E'Z vehicles. They also built a small square at the foot of Baiyun Mountain to serve as a leisure inn, with only half of it open to the public and the other half reserved for the lawyers' vacations and relaxation.

The same applies in Luzhou. In addition to the Passat, which was "handpicked" by the older generation, the law firm that cooperated with them was the newly launched Volkswagen Polo, which was designed for the emerging young brand.

This news spread quickly within small circles, and almost everyone knew that working with the "three-time champion" was a great experience. He was very generous, but his requirements were extremely demanding.

At that time, people in China were not familiar with the relevant laws and regulations regarding copyright transactions. They were dealing with these matters very casually, let alone cross-border operations.

But skills, well, they're all developed through practice.

Those who pioneered intellectual property work in the past reaped the first wave of benefits in 1946. However, the main beneficiaries were those who worked on "Zhang An Media" and "Zhang An Culture" projects. A single transaction typically involved 30 to 50 million yuan. If senior executives were in charge, such as Fang Daqiao and Du Xiaoshuai, the starting amount for both cultural content and scientific research achievements was 60 million yuan.

Even though the news of Zhang Da'an spending 80 million US dollars from "Petals" Company was kept secret and controlled, rumors still got out. However, the market didn't know the exact amount, only that it was a large sum.

In the end, it was the telecom operators who, like a sieve, exposed the $80 million transaction amount.

The key information was released in a very unusual way: it was directly published as an internal report in the "Good News" section, reporting the results to higher-level leaders and saying everything.

Zhang Da'an was still arguing with two ministries about this, vehemently criticizing them for having no concept of confidentiality. The two ministries were quite straightforward and admitted their mistake, then allowed Zhang, the head instructor, to get some more business in line.

For example, "contract phones".

That's much better.

As long as you provide adequate compensation, Coach Zhang, who always prioritizes money, will ensure that he remains silent.

"Boss, we can probably get the copyright transfer for 'Dream of the Red Chamber' for around 40 million, it's negotiable. But some of the overseas copyrights are with the Japanese. The original price was $1,000 per episode, but now the Japanese are asking for $50,000 per episode, plus a 5% cut of profits from secondary development and derivative works."

"That's reasonable, a fair price, but because they're Japanese, you'd better give them a good dressing down, in English."

"Yes."

"Damn it, if we can't get the deal for 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' then we can just poach the costume and art teams, and while we're at it, we can select the brightest minds from the 'thousand-person artist team' to learn from them. $50,000 per episode, I could hire an art consultant to help me with promotional illustrations for $50,000."

"Then... Boss, are we still going to discuss *Water Margin*?"

"Forget about that. Talk to the main composer about collaborations. The same goes for 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' and 'Journey to the West.' No matter what, get me a deal on 'The Sound of the Cloud Palace.'"

"Understood, boss. Please rest assured, we have contacted several units and several large compounds to work on this matter. We will definitely get it done for you."

"After it's done, I can't give you a courtyard house, but I can give each of you a three-bedroom apartment without any problem."

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, boss, we will definitely complete the task!"

Acquiring "Yun Gong Xun Yin" at this time would almost be a sure thing. During the "ringtone era," "Yun Gong Xun Yin" was very active, but it wasn't a top hit and couldn't compare to the popular songs that were all the rage back then. However, even after the "ringtone era," "Yun Gong Xun Yin" continued to shine, its stability was almost unbelievable.

You could even say that, based on that opening paragraph alone, any video game that wants to collaborate or partner with another brand would need at least ten million dollars.

However, the development of "Cloud Palace Melody" has always been very laid-back, and the old artist is indeed open-minded, which has made the old capitalists so anxious that they almost urinated blood.

Similar things are like the dances of various races in the "Warcraft" series. The "Orc Dance" is based on the story of Mike Hammer, the pioneer of bankrupt rap. Just this one piece is enough for Mike Hammer to live on for a hundred years.

On the contrary, the "Sun Wukong" IP does not require any money. Of course, if it is "Sun Wukong" in a specific cultural work, then it still requires money.

If you save money where you should and spend it where you should, then finding a voice actor specifically to collaborate with, rather than having someone play a teacher, will make a big difference.

As for now, many things are limited by the current internet bandwidth, and most personal computers are "old-fashioned" and can't do much. On the contrary, the TV can play a bigger role.

"Zhang An Media" and "Zhang An Culture" are doing this kind of work now.

Nowadays, many TV stations sell their own produced dramas or collaborate with investors from Hong Kong and Ryukyu on idol dramas. But Chief Instructor Zhang is different. Since he is the "Chief Instructor of 800,000 Imperial Guards," he must be selling his courses.

Instructor Lin teaches martial arts, and he teaches how to take exams; both are for personal advancement, and ultimately lead to the same goal.

However, Chief Instructor Zhang was a "three-time champion," and was someone whose name was announced outside the Donghua Gate. Although his appearance was a bit rough, he was still... a scholar.

This is also Zhang's biggest advantage. When others hear that "Wenquxing" (a legendary figure known for his literary talent) is coming to discuss copyright, no matter how low Zhang Da'an's quality is online, any teenagers in his family will politely come out for a meal, just to get a taste of his "literary spirit."

A celestial being pats my head; this ritual is still necessary.

Of course, because Zhang Da'an was rather uncouth, when he saw people his age, he would greet them with a smirk while patting their heads: "Little devil...you're developing quite well."

When discussing the copyright of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, apart from some overseas copyrights being difficult to obtain, most derivative copyrights were generally secured through negotiation.

For example, the comic book adaptation, audiobook, and game rights for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have already been acquired.

Originally intended to be a buyout, it was ultimately turned into a "retirement contract," with a portion of the payment made regularly each year or month to dozens of role-players.

This contract has not yet been announced. It will only be used as promotional material for large-scale publicity after the TV series adapted from the manga "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is released.

Therefore, considering the intellectual property rights currently held by "Zhang An Media" and "Zhang An Culture", participating in the 10th International Television Week on May 9th makes them a major player.

While it can't compare to TVB's level, it's still the largest private "copyright buyer" in China.

Meanwhile, film and television organizations such as Japan's TBS, Hong Kong's TVB, Time Warner, and MTV have no way to control "Zhang An Media" and "Zhang An Culture." Their market comfort zones are completely different. MTV, on the other hand, wants to compete with Coach Zhang for the potential market.

However, they cannot judge the progress of domestic legal and regulatory construction, nor can they judge the time node of domestic communication network upgrade. At this time, it would be a complete idiot to rashly spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions to play with Coach Zhang.

Even if it were copyright hoarding, it would be impossible to so precisely hoard only the copyrights of 32 chords and other MEDI chords; that would not conform to the rules of copyright hoarding.

Normal copyright holders want everything; this is not how you operate.

Zhang Da'an not only did this, but also established the "Golden List Ringtone Library" and the "Golden List Music Library," the latter of which was significantly slower to develop.

However, for industry professionals, having another copyright sales platform is definitely a good thing. Even major record companies in Europe and America are no exception. They are willing to cooperate with Apple, and naturally, they are also willing to have another platform environment to increase their revenue.

Of course, platform operators should pay attention to potential crises.

However, it's clear that "Zhang An Media" and "Zhang An Culture" have no intention of expanding into the US market, so their main competitors are basically useless domestic companies that try to "get something for nothing".

Before finding a new project for the "money laundering campaign," Boss Zhang is not facing any decent competitors for the time being. After all, even if they become competitors in the future, at least for now, they are all enjoying their comfort zones, so why bother messing around like "Zhang An Media" and "Zhang An Culture"?

Occasionally there are verbal battles, but they don't really have anything to do with these kinds of things.

Just like the two major groups, "Technology-Industry-Trade" and "Trade-Industry-Technology," were battling it out, both using Zhang Da'an as a scapegoat or a tool, it didn't affect Zhang Da'an's business development.

The occasional lunatics who pop up are all elderly men and women who think they've seen through justice and evil and have an inflated sense of self-importance.

Zhang Da'an originally planned to leave Beijing on April 12th. On that day, he attended a press conference about the first translation qualification certification exam independently developed by a university and implemented nationwide.

Designed and implemented by a test-setting committee composed of testing and translation experts from the Foreign Language Education Research Center of Beijing University of Foreign Studies, the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation of Beijing University of Foreign Studies, and the School of English, the test was launched to the public last November and is a qualification certification test.

Therefore, it's not hard to see why Zhang Da'an attended this press conference and then a rather high-end certificate awarding reception afterwards, which had a distinctly Russian style, probably a remnant of ancient culture.

It was quite harmonious at first, but then a few retired old men and women suddenly appeared, and the atmosphere changed completely.

It's important to understand that the key point of this certification ceremony isn't that it's the first translation qualification certification exam independently developed by a university and implemented nationwide; that's not the point. The key point is that among the attendees was the Olympic Organizing Committee.

It's easy to imagine what kind of large-scale celebratory projects this certification will primarily serve in the coming years.

The second exam will be held in May. In addition to the primary and intermediate certificate exams, an advanced certificate exam will be added, with a total of twelve test centers across the country.

More than 1,500 people have already registered, and the exam will be held twice a year, in May and October.

After the Olympics, this certification became useless and was directly upgraded to the "National English Translation Certificate." The first exam was held in October of the year the Olympics were successfully held.

Zhang Da'an came here not only because he had established the "Zhang An Certification" early and successfully, but also because a "master" had calculated that with the help of the "God of Literature," great things could be accomplished.

Fortune telling really exists...

And it wasn't just one or two, but several "experts" renowned for their expertise in feng shui and other related fields, some even hailing from Hong Kong and Heung Shan O.

In particular, the two from Hong Kong and Heung Shan O, one working as an advisor to HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank and the other working part-time at three casinos in Heung Shan O, are already a group earning tens of millions a year.

This action stunned Zhang Da'an.

With the "God of Literature" presiding over it, literary energy naturally gathers and flows like rivers and seas...

They also specially made a batch of brooches resembling tortoise-shaped gold coins, each with a small star chart of the "Wenquxing" star.

After Zhang Da'an arrived, he distributed this thing to the committee and the awarding members.

With one black and one white piece, Zhang Da'an felt for the first time that this ritual had such a flavor of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

If someone wore the entire yellow turban, wouldn't that cause an explosion?

However, Zhang Da'an was a bit of a bumpkin and didn't know the intricacies of the matter.

The tortoise-shaped seal was a seal used only by high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty with a salary of 2,000 shi (a unit of grain measurement); at the same time, only kings and nobles could use tortoise-shaped seals.

It just so happens that Beijing Foreign Studies University produces nothing but "Han envoys"; and it just so happens that in ancient times, Han envoys were not ordinary people who could bear the weight of fate. It was common for them to disregard life and death. Killing the king, sleeping with the queen dowager, and then supporting one or two children to become the new king—this was the main style of Han envoys.

If you delve deeper into its historical context, you won't find it exploded at all.

Zhang Qian and Ban Chao were certainly not bad at foreign languages, but of course, compared to their eloquence and writing skills, their swords and daggers were more handy.

Zhang Da'an, who didn't understand the intricacies of the matter, simply took photos and shook hands with people, and was even happy to share his minor experiences of "Zhang Da'an certification".

Until a group of old men and women, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, came over and criticized him.

“Comrade Zhang An, we have no objection to you promoting the ‘Top Scholar Star’ product everywhere. However, in terms of social impact, as a representative of the education industry, shouldn’t you play a positive and meaningful exemplary role for society and the people?”

"??????"

Zhang Da'an is just here today to act as a mascot, a "national auspicious symbol," that's all. He'll just have to do the bare minimum and eat and drink. Can he really help with anything serious, like getting the "National English Translation Certificate" business?

People are willing to join in this fun because of the benefits, not because of personal relationships.

He doesn't need to give face to Beijing Foreign Studies University, since the two are not related. He needs to give face to the Beijing Municipal Government and the Olympic Organizing Committee.

But that doesn't mean he's a lazy bum, that any random old woman can come along and criticize him. What's wrong with that?

The "Master Zhang" from a while ago is no longer a master here?

"who are you?"

Zhang Da'an took a sip of the iced cola in the champagne glass. It was Coca-Cola, an international brand, and it tasted authentic.

“You don’t need to know who I am, Comrade Zhang An. We’ve been working in frontline education for many years. If you want to promote ‘top student stars,’ that’s market economy, and we can’t interfere. But if this fosters a competitive atmosphere and lowers students’ critical thinking skills…”

"Wait, wait, wait."

Zhang Da'an interrupted her with a laugh, "What exactly do you do? Are you a teacher or work for some bureau or committee?"

"I've retired. I used to be..."

Wow.

Zhang Da'an poured a glass of cola directly into the other person's face, and slapped him across the face. "You think you're so tough, a retired guy like you? Get lost!"

As she spoke, Zhang Da'an casually tossed aside her champagne glass, then pointed at the elderly men and women who had come with her, "You're all the same. If you dare to say a single word, you'll get a slap in the face. Try it if you don't believe me."

Since Zhang Da'an wasn't the main character today, he was just there to make up the numbers and then leave. Shaking hands, smiling, and saying goodbye—that was the final procedure.

Unexpectedly, a fight scene also took place in a corner.

Especially since there were foreign guests, including representatives from the Foreign Languages ​​Institute and the Olympic Organizing Committee, Zhang Da'an's slap brought the whole summer to the fore.

It's hot, fucking hot.

So hot!

Several high-ranking officials turned green with shock. What would happen if word got out that such an accident happened in this kind of setting?
As the security guards rushed over to set up a partition, Zhang Da'an grabbed an orange from the table and continued throwing it at the elderly men and women, yelling, "Fuck you, trying to act tough with me because of your age?! You really don't know your place or who you're dealing with. Just you wait, don't let me find out who in your family is in this business. If I do, you'll be ruined. You're such a damn jerk!"

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang..."

"go away!"

The hosts had dark faces, but they still tried to appease Zhang Da'an. However, Zhang Da'an didn't give them any face at all, saying that no matter what kind of dean or principal they were, it had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Zhang, it's us..."

"Stupid."

Zhang Da'an swaggered away, ignoring the people who had gathered around to try and mediate. He got into his car and drove off.

The incident left a mess, and although there were many media present, they had all been instructed not to report on it.

If this kind of accident gets out of hand, it will become a joke, and it could even become an "international joke".

It won't actually become an "international joke," but that kind of cautious mentality is what it is.

The situation here has actually been handled quite well. After the propaganda departments in Beijing were notified, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite a minor hiccup, the result was still good.

At least "Wenquxing" (a famous Chinese literary figure) did come. Besides, a cocktail party is a cocktail party, and a press conference is a press conference. The press conference was quite successful.

A cocktail party is meant to be relaxing.

After several rounds of communication, I finally understood why those old men and women had chosen such a controversial program to create their show.

It's the fault of the "tertiary industry" before middle school. Strictly speaking, it can't be called the fault. It just happened that the "tertiary industry company" was also launching an electronic product for English learning. As a result, there was an explosion of various electronic dictionaries in the previous two years, and this year the only true god "Zhuangyuan Star" was parachuted in.

There's no way around it. Under the halo of a "three-time top scorer," no matter how prestigious the school or the teacher, it won't make a difference. How many students can you get from all those affiliated high schools combined?
How many people are there in the whole city?

How many people are there in the whole country?

People from other places don't care about the titles of famous schools and famous teachers, but if they don't care about "three consecutive top scorers"... then they must be mentally challenged.

Even those who argue with Zhang Da'an would be more eager to get two or three places at Xindongweigang Middle School than a dog rushing to the toilet.

Originally, these old men and women were taking a gamble, betting that the game of "a gentleman deceives with reason" could continue with Zhang Da'an. So when they got the invitation letter from Beijing Foreign Studies University, they all pretended to be famous educators, not too indifferent to fame and fortune; but then they tricked Beijing Foreign Studies University.

It is no exaggeration to say that public resources were used for private purposes.

What the outside world doesn't know is that while Zhang Da'an's "Zhang An Certification" experience was one reason for his visit, the connection was actually made by people from relevant provincial departments.

After all, Ms. Chen, the then president of Beijing Foreign Studies University, was from Chongzhou; at the same time, she and her husband were both recommended to Beijing Foreign Studies University (the predecessor of Beijing Foreign Studies University) by Chongzhou.

There was a preparatory department for studying in the Soviet Union at that time, but it was canceled due to the times. However, the friendship between classmates from that moment still exists.

The person who persuaded Zhang Da'an to stay in the capital for a couple more days used the phrase "we are both from the same hometown of Jiangkou".

The portion size is quite large.

These old men and women weren't actually that disgusted with Zhang Da'an, but their disgust with Beijing Foreign Studies University was outrageously strong.

The key point is that they are not affiliated with Beijing Foreign Studies University, at least not in terms of organizational affiliation.

In other words, these people who are not retired from Beijing Foreign Studies University are using the university's "public resources" to do "private work" for themselves or their families.

Their behavior wasn't just unseemly; it was downright incompetent and showed a complete lack of respect for Beijing Foreign Studies University.

Once this conflict is brought under control, we will definitely need to sit down and talk.

Of course, this is on the premise that it is suppressed.

Previously, I had been following the same old mindset, thinking that once I had won over the media at the scene, everything would be fine.

But we forgot that Zhang Da'an, that dog... has a criminal record.

"Jinbang Blog" hasn't been shut down; it's running very well. In fact, it recently launched "keyword community communication" content, temporarily named "Let's Chat".

The large-scale internal testing is scheduled from April 20th to May 20th. Internal test users can create their own keyword-based community and social space through the "Let's Chat" feature.

For example, the keyword "Ango Cup" has already created an "Ango Cup Bar". Users who were in the early beta test have already come in and posted like crazy, with all sorts of casual posts, team building activities, check-ins, and pop-ups.

Non-beta testers can only watch and feel anxious.

There's also the keyword "Zhang Xiaobai," which led to two online chat rooms created by students who graduated from Xindongweigang Middle School last year: "Zhang Xiaobai Bar" and "Teacher Xiaobai Bar."

The number of posts is not only large, but also unique, with titles such as "Teacher Xiaobai's Stunning Beauty" or "Teacher Xiaobai's Latest Handsome Photos." The abundance of pictures has significantly enriched the content of the community.

In this situation, Chief Instructor Zhang issued the highest directive to advance the large-scale internal testing.

When should it be moved forward?

It all started early when he launched into a tirade against a group of elderly people on his personal blog.

This outrageous and barbaric operation has left even Beijing Foreign Studies University bewildered.

In reality, the school can't do anything about those old men and women, since their grandchildren can still go abroad for further studies even if they don't attend "Weigongcun Women's Vocational and Technical College".

We can't exactly use diplomatic language to criticize these old men and women, can we?
As a result, Zhang Da'an not only slapped the old lady in real life, but also in the virtual world of the internet, he truly "fired cannons and blasted her mother," displaying a rather romantic side.

"Let me tell you something. I'm so fed up. This afternoon I had dinner with the people from the 'Beijing Foreign Studies University English Translation Qualification Certificate' awarding committee. We were having a great time, and then I found a stink bug in my food. It almost made me sick to my stomach."

"That bug is a female, and I had someone check. It turns out we're practically in the same business, selling English tapes for over a decade. She probably wants me to sell CDs instead of 'Top Scholar Star' today, so she's been trying to persuade me with all her heart, calling me 'Comrade Zhang An' and urging me to do something meaningful for society."

"Dude, I was dumbfounded. I looked around and realized, wait a minute, this isn't the 'Top Scholar Star' product launch. It looks like a 'Beijing Foreign Studies University English Translation Qualification Certificate' award ceremony. What a strange encounter! So I asked her, 'Who are you?'"

"Guess what? This old slut actually told me to ignore who she is!"

"Damn, when have I ever been treated like this? I immediately raised my arm, grabbed a glass of ice-cold Coca-Cola, and poured it right in her face. Then, just like that, I slapped her across the face again, which stunned her. That old slut didn't move after that. I realized these were all pushovers, so I put on a little show of bravado and said I'd beat up anyone who dared to say a word."

"Brothers, it's incredibly effective!"

"In such a high-class setting, fists are more powerful than words."

"However, I also need to reflect on myself. How could I have acted so impulsively towards a retired old woman? (Dude, I'm about 1.88 meters tall and weigh around 160-190 kilograms.)"

"What if we beat someone up and cause them any harm..."

"Wouldn't that be even better?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

"Here, I'd also like to make a statement to all the leaders: I thoroughly enjoyed beating this old bastard named Tong something-mei. If any leader dislikes me, feel free to kill me anytime; I'll accept the punishment. However, what I hate most in this life are scumbags who can't tell the situation right from wrong and bring shame to the country."

"Like Tong Mei, that old bastard, she disregards the reputation of Beijing Foreign Studies University and doesn't take the Olympic Organizing Committee seriously. I personally think she should be severely tortured, paraded through the streets wearing a dunce cap, and I also think every student at Beijing Foreign Studies University should be given a rotten egg to smash in her face."

"Okay, that's all for now."

"Our clear waters will remain unchanged, and our green waters will flow forever."

"Bye."

As always, he's a troll; the only difference is that this troll is quite capable.

Zhang Da'an didn't hide anything; on the official website of "Zhang'an Education," the group photo was enlarged and enlarged again, and used as the main website banner.

As for head coach Zhang Da'an's one and a half seconds cameo appearance on "News Broadcast"...

It must be captured frame by frame as source material.

It's enough for eight to ten years.

However, nobody cared. The internet's "animals" immediately flooded into "Zhang An Bar" and quickly elected two sets of fan titles.

One set of "Gou An" and another set of "An Gou" are completely inhuman.

The group of people who regularly post spam are the first to post and repost blog posts in the "Zhang An Bar," where the chat and arguments are much more concentrated.

There are still too many restrictions on blogs; you can talk about anything.

Unlike "Zhang An Bar," where the users speak very pleasantly...

"Holy crap, An Gou is amazing again! Wasn't he supposed to be at a meeting? Isn't his behavior like this damaging to his image?"

"Wait a minute? I don't quite understand what 'damaging one's image' means. You might as well explain it more clearly."

"Hahahaha... Dog An doesn't care about his image at all, but I never expected that he would actually beat up a retired old lady? Brothers, I just checked, that old lady surnamed Tong is fifty-nine years old this year, and she's quite famous. She used to be in those English learning tapes and stuff."

"Awesome, I knew there were hidden talents among Dog An's fans."

"Fans are fans, what do you mean by 'dog fans'? Pshaw! You've got me all confused. When did I become a dog fan?"

"No? Hurry up and spill the beans! Will Dog An crash and burn this time?"

"You can't get away with anything, this guy's shrewd. Didn't you see he was the one who leaked this news? I saw the news today too, there was some kind of English translation certificate being awarded. It was quite formal, people from the Olympic Organizing Committee were there, probably it's for the Olympics. This commotion, to be suppressed, there's no doubt the organizers intervened."

"Didn't An Gou just leak the information anyway?"

"Who would have thought there were blogs? They didn't exist before."

"Holy crap, will An Gou offend someone?"

"Who can we offend? We can't offend anyone, don't worry."

While various discussions and trending posts were taking place in the "Let's Talk" forum, media reporters who had been banned and had their reputation points deducted during the day were now working at full speed to find material in the "Zhang An Bar" forum.

They didn't make this up; it's all reposted from the internet.

Moreover, the people in "Zhang An Bar" are indeed very pleasant to talk to, and they even posted photos from the scene.

Some people blurred out the photos, while others blurred them out, but Zhang Da'an's figure stood out in the crowd.

That head, that neck, those shoulders, those arms...

No, you mean you'd actually swing your sword and slap that old lady across the face?

"Holy shit! You beast!"

"Damn! That dog An really went for it."

“Hitting women, hitting old people, hitting old women… that beast Gou An really didn’t hesitate at all.”

"This guy even said on his blog that he had a lot of fun playing."

"This is absolutely outrageous, Dog An is a pure beast."

"Holy crap, you even have photos from this angle? Dude, were you there?"

"There's someone here?! A master, an absolute master, please help me out."

The chaotic and unpredictable phenomena were completely unexpected; no other personal blog service has ever stirred up such a commotion.

That very night, the news that "Zhang An beats people," "Zhang An beats women," and "Zhang An beats old people" spread everywhere.

Oddly enough, while netizens were outraged by the emotional outbursts, they would visit Zhang Da'an's blog, leave a comment saying "I was here," and then leave.

People will still criticize, saying things like "It's wrong to hit a woman" and "Especially since she's an old woman." But Zhang Da'an doesn't care and goes straight to "Zhang Da'an Bar" to brag.

Furthermore, by abusing the boss's authority, he changed the fan's title from "An Gou" to "An Ge," which disgusted the viewers so much that they reported him repeatedly.

However, some astute media reporters have clearly gleaned a lot of interesting information from the posts on "Zhang An Bar".
