Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu also found this behavior utterly despicable. 🐼💚 6➈ᔕ𝐇𝕦𝓧.𝕔σ𝐌 🍫😲

He continued, "These unscrupulous media outlets keep spreading junk news in order to gain traffic."

"If a person is exposed to this junk information all day long, even their IQ will be affected. Because an ignorant person's cup is at least empty, while a person whose cup is full of junk information has a cup full of dirty water."

However, Li Haoyu quickly adjusted his mindset.

This troublesome matter won't bother him anymore; it'll probably be over soon. Because group-buying websites burn through cash much faster than portal websites.

Burning money is like a bottomless pit that devours everything. It starts with 100,000 a day, then 1 million a day, and even 10 million a day. The more money you burn, the faster it burns, and you can't even see its limit.

No matter how much money you have, you can burn it all in a very short time. This is the fundamental reason why he voluntarily suspended subsidies and carried out a strategic transformation of the website.

Business warfare is sometimes like a boxing match.

In the ring, there's no time for complaining, for feeling sorry for others, and certainly no time for self-preservation, self-abandonment, or self-righteousness. There's no room for hesitation, fear, or even regret.

You can only do two things: either take the beating or fight back.

No one will be a fair-weather friend to you; you can only earn flowers and applause by defeating your opponent.

This is somewhat similar to what Guo Degang once joked about crosstalk artists in a skit: "In this industry, whoever lives the longest is right." Perhaps the same principle applies to the group-buying website industry, which has experienced rapid and unregulated growth.

He thought for a moment and asked Guan Weiguang to contact the *Today's Times* for an interview.

This war should end.

Wu Bo has been riding high these days.

Not only did Lashou.com gain significant popularity, but many well-known venture capital firms also extended offers to him.

"Secretary Wang, how many more days can our funds last?" Wu Bo asked.

After hearing this, Secretary Wang hurriedly opened the folder, carefully checked the specific data again, and then replied, "The expenditure far exceeded our expectations."

"Furthermore, the good teams have signed non-compete agreements, and the cost of poaching them is also a considerable expense, so money is running out..."

"Including our reserves, we can probably last for about 10 days... no, at most a week," Secretary Wang hurriedly added.

"We have to pay the merchants in seven days. The payment has been delayed for a long time, and the merchants are already complaining. If no new funds come in, the cash flow will break down completely."

Lashou.com is actually at its limit. Its Google advertising has been too aggressive, and its subsidies have been too extensive... Secretary Wang looked worried after reporting the data.

Wu Bo frowned upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected the situation to have gotten this bad. But there was still time; Lashou.com had been communicating with venture capital firms about the next round of financing.

Wu Bo confidently stated, "The financing negotiations have been going very smoothly... five days at most, no, three days should be enough. ♙💣 6➈S𝓱u𝔵.𝒸𝑜ⓜ ♦🐟"

"As long as we can raise money, the funding problem will be solved."

"yes."

Secretary Wang nodded, hesitated for a long time, but then remembered Wu Bo's stubborn and arrogant personality. He had words of advice on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say them.

Wu Bo looked up and asked, "By the way, has Hao Tuan been making any moves lately?"

Secretary Wang said weakly, "There's nothing there."

Why?

Wu Bo was a little confused and started muttering to himself.

"I don't know."

Secretary Wang could only reply in this way.

Wu Bo glared at him fiercely.

Isn't it good that the competitors aren't taking any action? Do you have masochistic tendencies...? He didn't dare say more, and could only silently complain in his heart.

"Contact the merchants to postpone the payment date for another week, or else take down their listings... Also, find out what HaoTuan is up to; I don't believe they're doing nothing."

Wu Bo said with a hint of anger.

Merchants have contractual payment dates, and even though the platform has a lot of control, holding onto payments indefinitely can be fatal.

When merchants reach their breaking point, they may even come to your door to demand payment, at which point the negative impact will be irreversible.

But what can be done about it? Secretary Wang asked himself inwardly.

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Wu."

Secretary Wang dared not disobey Wu Bo again, as he still relied on this job to support his family.

He could only leave in a hurry to relay Wu Bo's orders.

However, he had only been gone for a short time.

The office door was hurriedly opened, and the CFO of Lashou.com rushed in, "Mr. Wu, something terrible has happened... our financial problems have been exposed."

"What happened? Didn't you say it was all dealt with? Who leaked it?"

Wu Bo suppressed his anger and roared in a low voice.

The accountant said, her voice trembling with tears, "Overnight, it seems everyone knows."

With a "bang".

In a fit of anger, Wu Bo threw a water glass.

"Investigate?! Do they have solid evidence? Immediately block the news; if they can't cover it up, issue a public statement immediately. And if anyone can't keep their mouth shut, send a lawyer's letter!"

"What are you still standing here like an idiot for... Do you want to spend the rest of your life in prison?"

The CFO was taken aback for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, "Okay... I'll go right now."

After watching the CFO's departing figure, Wu Bo felt a sense of loss, as if he had lost all his strength in an instant, and slumped into his office chair.

I wonder what Wu Bo is thinking at this moment?

…………

Li Haoyu's office in Hao Tuan.

The interview was conducted by a female host named Liu Ran.

Around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, she is at the most charming age.

Liu Ran, dressed in a black mini-skirt, with a hot figure, big eyes, red lips, and snow-white skin, walked away gracefully, revealing a sweet smile, "Thank you for agreeing to our interview despite your busy schedule."

Li Haoyu said with a smile, "It's nothing. Actually, I've been quite free lately, otherwise I wouldn't have had time for an interview."

Liu Ran was somewhat speechless; she had interviewed many people herself.

But why doesn't he play by the rules?

Suppressing her anger, she continued, "You've always been hailed as a business genius. What are your thoughts on that?"

Li Haoyu said calmly, "I think that's a very fair statement. Aren't I exactly like that?"

Li Haoyu even countered, "Do you believe in geniuses? The world is so big, there must be geniuses! Isn't the answer obvious?"

Even a clay figure has some temper; Liu Ran was instantly furious at Li Haoyu's frivolous reply. She couldn't hold back her anger any longer.

Liu Ran abruptly changed the subject, and the interview questions and wording became quite sharp. "But as far as I know, Haotuan seems to have done absolutely nothing in response to its biggest competitor, Lashou.com?"

Li Haoyu turned to look at her and said, "This is also one of the reasons why Hao Tuan has not accepted any media interviews for so long."

Liu Ran was taken aback. "Why is that? Could you please explain the specific reason to the audience?"

Li Haoyu said calmly, "HaoTuan and Lashou.com are not even in the same league, so it's only natural that they won."

"If I were to rely on the media, even if I won, I'd feel embarrassed. It's like an adult fighting with a child and then using weapons—how embarrassing would that be if word got out?"

"Host, don't you think this is ridiculous?"
