Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

The online "Apology Ceremony for Yang Jian" is still in full swing.

The atmosphere in the office area of ​​Salty Fish Entertainment was eerily quiet.

Because Xianyu Video was spun off and its shares were swapped with Tencent, the group of tech geeks who were originally responsible for maintaining the video website suddenly became idle.

A group of grown men stared blankly at the screen.

Wang Luochuan pushed open the door to his boss's office, his face showing a constipated expression.

"Boss, the tech department is in a state of panic."

"Everyone feels marginalized. With the video business gone, shouldn't the coders pack their bags and leave?"

Yu Le looked at the computer screen, leisurely swinging his legs.

"Leave? Where to?"

"Is the salary not high enough? Or is the braised pork in the cafeteria not good enough?"

Wang Luochuan smiled bitterly.

"It's not about the money. Those of us in tech are anxious when we don't have any projects. They're afraid that one day you might decide to lay off the entire department."

"Who said there are no projects?"

Yu Le opened the drawer and pulled out a crumpled A4 sheet of paper.

There are several stick figures drawn on it, along with some random arrows and boxes.

"Take it."

Wang Luochuan took it and examined it from all angles.

"This is... a chat room?"

There was a large frame drawn on the paper, inside which was a little person holding a microphone, next to a bunch of bullet comments, and a few simple line drawings that looked like rockets and sports cars.

"The vision is too narrow."

Yu Le stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and picked up a marker.

"This is called live streaming."

"You know YY voice chat room, right? Change that mode."

Yu Le wrote two words heavily on the whiteboard: 【Donation】.

"Develop a virtual currency system. Flowers, applause, sports cars, yachts, and giant rockets."

Users spend money to buy these virtual gifts and send them to the streamers.

Wang Luochuan's mouth dropped open.

This sounds... like begging online?

"Boss, is this even feasible? Who would spend real money to buy a bunch of virtual data to give away just to hear a thank you?"

Yu Le looked at him with the expression one would use to look at a caveman.

"Old Wang, your understanding of human nature is still too shallow."

"That's called emotional value."

"That's the kind of prestige that the top-ranked fan has."

"Do you believe that in the future, someone might spend enough money to buy a house in one night just to be number one on the leaderboard?"

Wang Luochuan swallowed.

A house?

Crazy? !

"Stop talking nonsense and get the tech department moving."

Yu Le threw the marker into the pen holder.

"We have the bandwidth technology readily available, and the servers are also readily available."

"I've already thought of a name, it'll be called 'Salted Fish Live'."

"This is a huge project! You'll be keeping yourself busy!"

……

After dealing with the minor internal commotion, Yu Le sat back down in his chair.

A financial news article popped up in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

Shanda Interactive launches surprise attack on Sina! Chen Tianqiao spends a fortune in an attempt to acquire it!

Sina launches "Poison Pill" plan! Better to die a glorious death than live a shameful life!

Yu Le opened the news.

The screen is filled with the smell of gunpowder.

This was the biggest scandal in the internet world in 2005.

Having made a fortune with "Legend", Chen Tianqiao's ambitions swelled, and he wanted to create an online Disney, directly reaching out to Sina, the big brother of portal websites.

He went on a buying spree in the secondary market, acquiring 19.5% of Sina's shares in just a few days, becoming its largest shareholder.

Sina's management was terrified.

They directly unleashed their ultimate weapon—the poison pill plan.

Sina has an agreement that if a single shareholder's shareholding exceeds 20%, Sina will issue a large number of new shares to all shareholders except Shanda at half price.

This would instantly dilute Shanda's shareholding.

This tactic is a suicide attack.

Injure one thousand enemies, and self-inflict eight hundred.

Yu Le touched his chin.

This plot is even more exciting than a TV series.

He picked up the landline on the table and dialed a number.

That was his private team specifically responsible for investing in US stocks.

He wants to take this opportunity to acquire Sina's shares.

As for funds, as long as Yu Le doesn't entertain any thoughts like acquiring the Forbidden City, he has more than enough money to spend these days.

……

The next few days.

Nasdaq is experiencing a surge of activity.

Shanda and Sina are still engaged in a war of words in the media.

One side says it wants to integrate resources, while the other side says it wants to maintain independence.

Just when everyone's eyes were on the two giants fighting each other.

A mysterious fund, like a slippery eel, silently slipped into Sina's shareholder list.

It is unassuming and unassuming.

I always buy in small quantities when the stock price drops.

Little by little, it adds up.

Until Sina's board of directors received a notification of changes in shareholding.

Salted Fish Investment Holdings.

Shareholding percentage: 10.1%.

It surpassed Sitong and became the second largest shareholder, second only to Shanda.

Beijing, Sina headquarters.

Cao Guowei looked at the report in his hand, his brows furrowing deeply.

"What is Yu Le trying to do?"

The conference room was deathly silent.

A wolf at the front door, a tiger at the back.

I can't live like this anymore.

Just then.

Cao Guowei's phone rang.

Unknown number.

connected.

"Hello, Mr. Cao."

His voice was languid, exuding a sense of leisure.

"I am Yu Le."

Cao Guowei tightened his grip on his phone.

"Mr. Yu, this gesture is truly admirable."

"Oh, not at all, I just saw that Sina's stock price was cheap, so I bought some financial products."

Yu Le's laugh on the other end of the phone was incredibly irritating.

"President Cao, don't be nervous."

"I have no interest in the management of Sina."

"I also do not support Shanda's barbaric practices."

Cao Guowei felt a little relieved.

"What does Mr. Yu want?"

"It's very simple."

Yu Le's voice became slightly more serious.

"In the future, Sina Blog, could you please give our artists more consideration and reserve a few recommendation slots?"

"besides."

"If anyone is maliciously smearing us on the platform, I hope Mr. Cao can help to control it. That would be great."

Cao Guowei was stunned.

They spent so much money to buy a 10% stake.

Just for... controlling the comments?

What kind of wasteful logic is this?

"That's...all?"

That's all.

Yu Le answered decisively.

"As long as Mr. Cao agrees, I will be Sina's most steadfast ally in the board meetings."

Cao Guowei took a deep breath.

"make a deal."
