Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 513 TikTok's stock price soars!

"Wow~"

The speech ended, and applause resounded throughout the factory.

The extras, their faces flushed with excitement, clapped their hands with unwavering determination after Chen Xiu's words.

This kind of performance, which uses emotional appeal to move others, far surpasses the acting skills of so-called movie stars.

After all, the acting skills of a movie star are limited to personal skills, and they are unlikely to become the expectations of hundreds or thousands of people.

The responsibility that everyone is counting on you to take the lead is incredibly heavy. If you can't shoulder it, you're just an ordinary person, and no one will have any expectations of you anymore. But if you do, then everyone will trust you, follow you, and become your source of strength...

Chen Xiu carried this expectation many times, and succeeded each time.

This makes many of his actions, even though he doesn't seem angry, able to make people tense.

After the filming ended, Chen Xiu jumped off the stool, and Tian Xinwei immediately came over. Wang Chuanjun and Brother Hu were taken aback for a moment, but they quickly followed.

"boss!"

After Xiaotian shouted, his two long legs, encased in his work pants, hopped together in front of Chen Xiu like a radish squatting.

Chen Xiu twitched her neck slightly and turned to look at her.

On that smiling face, her round almond-shaped eyes shimmered with light, and as her pert little nose twitched, a blush slowly spread across Tian Xinwei's cheeks.

Chen Xiu pursed her lips, slowly shook her head, indicating that it wasn't possible right now.

Tian Xinwei pouted, but instead of throwing a tantrum as usual, she obediently stepped aside.

While Chen Xiu was secretly surprised, she also caught a glimpse of Wang Chuanjun and Brother Hu rushing over.

"You two did a great job just now."

"Uh……"

"Mr. Chen, thank you."

Wang Chuanjun was stunned, and Brother Hu responded.

Wang Chuanjun turned his head in surprise and glanced sideways, but Brother Hu ignored him and walked past.

"Mr. Chen, you seem to be from Shanghai as well."

"Yes, it should be available on Baidu Baike."

"Hehe, yes, we're even from the same hometown!"

Brother Hu smiled and struck up a conversation with Chen Xiu about their shared hometown, much to the chagrin of Wang Chuanjun, who was also from Shanghai.

Chen Xiu nodded perfunctorily, while giving Tian Xinwei a wink.

The big-eyed cutie understood immediately, quietly turned around and walked away, going to the rest area next door to find Chen Xiu's assistant.

Just as Brother Hu continued to reminisce with Chen Xiu about their shared hometown, Luo Shikan quickly stepped forward and gracefully ended the conversation.

"Boss, there are a few phone calls..."

"Oh, Brother Hu, excuse me, I'll be right back in a minute."

Hu Ge responded to Chen Xiu's polite remarks with a sincere apology, stating that he had no intention of bothering Chen Xiu.

After Chen Xiu left the factory, Wang Chuanjun, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, finally couldn't help but offer Brother Hu a sarcastic piece of advice.

"Old Hu, you're a top-tier celebrity, you don't need to act like this, do you?"

"how?"

"Don't you think you're being too obsequious to President Chen?"

"Ha, so you think I stole your job, right?"

Brother Hu glanced at Wang Chuanjun, his face full of disapproval.

What's the point of having the airs of a top star compared to the chance of being treated differently by Chen Xiu?

Both Hu Ge and Wang Chuan were well aware of each other's thoughts, and naturally, this kind of "conflict of interests" ended on bad terms.

Alone in the rest area, Tian Xinwei watched the dispute between Hu and Wang, her eyes darting around before her gaze drifted towards the outside of the factory...

In fact, Luo Shikan's visit was not really an excuse.

At noon today, as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange closed, TikTok announced a strategic partnership with Line to exchange shares, viewing it as an extension of its presence in the instant messaging field.

This news, once released, quickly gained attention as breaking news in the financial world.

Many financial analysts and bloggers are generally optimistic about this strategic partnership, while others worry that Line's continued losses will increase TikTok's operational pressure.

Various speculations are rampant.

The specific results will be verified when the Hong Kong Stock Exchange opens at 1 p.m.

Chen Xiu glanced at the time in the upper right corner of her phone. There were 10 minutes left. Suddenly, her phone beeped, and a WeChat message from Wei Feng appeared at the top of the screen.

"Boss, the box office for 'Ne Zha' has just surpassed 45 billion, and the extension key has been approved!"

Chen Xiu opened her eyes, a smile flashing in them.

The outcome of the big cake is still uncertain, so having a small cake beforehand is not bad.

With nine minutes to go before the afternoon market opened, Chen Xiu took the opportunity to call Wei Feng.

As soon as the phone rang, Wei Feng answered it immediately, and his excited voice was transmitted to Chen Xiu's ears through the phone's microphone.

"Hey boss, did I bother you?"

"No."

Chen Xiu chuckled, feeling comfortable chatting with his own people.

"How much is the daily box office revenue for the movie now?"

"Yesterday, Sunday, there were 6500 million, and today's online data should show 3500 million, so the goal of 50 billion is still achievable."

"Is Guangmang doing anything underhanded?"

“We are the ones who handle film distribution, and they can’t do much. However, those two brothers from Huayi called me yesterday and said they wanted to come over and apologize in person.”

Chen Xiu raised an eyebrow, a hint of boredom in her eyes. "You handle it."

"clear."

Chen Xiu was far too different in rank from Da Wang and Xiao Wang. Their surrender without resistance was meaningless to him; instead, it gave him a slight sense of boredom.

"Nothing else is going on. I should be done by the end of the month. I'll try to get 'Entrepreneurial Age' released this year."

"okay, I get it."

After ending the call, Chen Xiu glanced at the time [12:59], just in time.

Open the software, click on your watchlist, and TikTok, ranked first, is still priced at 54.2, the same as it was at the morning close. But Chen Xiu just felt that it was about to take off.

10, 9, 8...

[13:00], Trading begins!
A straight line appeared on Chen Xiu's phone screen, pointing upwards.

It seemed to possess a boundless vitality, rising from the ground and soaring upwards without hesitation.

The price only experienced its first fluctuation when it exceeded 59 and approached the 60 mark.

However, the 10% increase is real and quite stable.

After staring at the order book for 5 minutes, Chen Xiu noticed that several times just as the price was about to surge to 60 yuan, several sell orders would immediately appear and drive the price down.

Just as the price surged to 60 again and then dropped again, Chen Xiu suddenly smiled.

Whether it reaches 60 or not doesn't really matter. The main thing is that the story of TikTok merging with Line has gained market recognition, and that's enough.

Just as Chen Xiu finished thinking about this and was about to exit the stock trading software, the price of TikTok suddenly jumped up to 60.5!

The numbers, just like before, began to fluctuate steadily.

Chen Xiu exited the stock trading app, opened Lark, and posted a celebratory message in both the TikTok and Douyin work groups. Then, he privately messaged Zhou Shouzi, expressing his approval of his work ability.

After doing all this, Chen Xiu suddenly felt a little hungry.

The emotional outpouring during the performance, coupled with the string of good news, caused him to briefly forget about lunchtime. Now that he has calmed down, his body is starting to give him warnings.

Arriving at his private rest area, Chen Xiu was about to find something to eat when he saw Tian Xinwei, who was squatting on a small stool, waving at him.

Tian Xinwei, who is already petite, squatted there with her body hunched forward, her eyebrows curved, and her dimples deep, as if she had something good to share.

When Chen Xiu went over, she discovered that she actually had something to share.

"Dangdang!"

Tian Xinwei sat up straight, picked up a boxed lunch from her lap, and handed it to Chen Xiu.

"Boss, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Looking at Tian Xinwei's sparkling eyes, Chen Xiuwei paused for a moment before asking, "Did you get this for me?"

"Otherwise, how else can I help others carry it?"

The Sichuan-Chongqing tyrannosaurus still retains its temper, and will seize any opportunity to retort.

After her outburst, Tian Xinwei regretted it and could only reluctantly pick up a small stool, place it beside her, and gently invite Chen Xiu to sit down.

"Boss, please sit down and eat."

Chen Xiu looked at Tian Xinwei with a strange expression, feeling as if she were performing Sichuan opera for him...

After sitting down, Chen Xiu was about to reach for the lunchbox when Tian Xinwei handed her an alcohol wipe and even helped her tear it open.

"Wipe your hands before you eat, I'll move the table over to you."

"oh oh."

Chen Xiu did as instructed, and then she saw Tian Xinwei's small body lift the folding table next to her, unfold it in front of her, and wipe it.

To be honest, this work uniform worn for filming actually suits Tian Xinwei quite well at this moment.

While marveling at Xiaotian's sudden change to gentleness, Chen Xiu opened her lunchbox and started eating.

After taking only a few bites, he noticed Tian Xinwei's increasingly intense and passionate gaze.

In the lounge, with no one else around, Chen Xiu's strong mental fortitude prevented her from feeling so embarrassed by Tian Xinwei's gaze that she couldn't eat.

However, Oda's unusually gentle behavior still aroused his suspicion.

Chen Xiu picked up a piece of eggplant and handed it to Tian Xinwei: "If you want some, just say so. You don't have to look at me like that, all pitiful."

"I just want to watch you eat!"

Tian Xinwei cupped her face in her hands, gently shook her head, her eyes like a lake, rippling endlessly.

Chen Xiu put the eggplant back in her mouth, leaned close to Tian Xinwei, and said in a very certain tone:
Do you know you like me?

"Ok, I know."

Tian Xinwei smiled so hard her eyes curved into crescents, her hands cupping her cheeks like an upside-down peach.

Chen Xiu asked uncertainly, "So, you like it more now?"

"Yup!"

"why?"

"Boss, are you really capable of saying those things at my age?"
Tian Xinwei pursed her pink lips, her expression becoming serious and expectant.

Chen Xiu continued eating, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes, and asked a question.

Have you ever used Didi Chuxing?

"I've used it!"

"So it was Didi that survived, not some other company."

After saying that, Chen Xiu winked at her, perfectly capturing the atmosphere.

A blush quickly spread across Tian Xinwei's cheeks, her almond-shaped eyes flickered, and her heart pounded like a deer's.
