Chapter 524 Human Master!

Yang Chenghao has heard of Li Youzhi, but he doesn't know much about him.

As the president of the group, Yang Chenghao is usually responsible for the strategic business of the entire group and rarely knows the specific operation of the platform.

For executives in his position, Internet celebrities and stars are just an influencing factor on the report.

The reason why I heard the name Li Youzhi was when the overseas version of Heguang Audiovisual was launched.

There are only a few good video platforms in China. Old streaming video platforms like Aiyi have been humiliated by new competitors. This is news to people in Yang Chenghao's position.

But that's all.

In the past year, including the period when Heguang Audiovisual became famous in China, Yang Chenghao actually didn't stay in China much.

After the explosive growth of the domestic business volume of the Doushou platform and the short video craze, the Doushou Group has formulated a globalization strategy and actively expanded its business overseas. The overseas version of Doushou, namely "TKTK", has been promoted in North America, Japan, South Korea, Europe and other countries and regions.

In the two years since the start of internationalization, Doushou Group has indeed reaped the benefits of internationalization. Relying on its unique content production mechanism, it has gained a large number of user groups in foreign markets and successfully incubated a large number of Internet celebrities in various regions.

In North America alone, TKTK has obtained nearly one-third of the local population as users, and the company's overseas listing market value has continued to rise, and it is about to become a shining star in the social media industry.

Then... TKTK's good luck seems to have come to an end.

What is the core competitiveness of TKTK, or the overseas version of Doushou?

It is to let users in each region generate content themselves to obtain user traffic in the region. In essence, this is a process of mass production of self-media by a platform.

With the smooth development of business, TKTK has created a large number of Internet celebrities and celebrities.

These Internet celebrities often have tens of millions of fans. Given the national conditions of China with a total population of more than one billion, this fan base may not be a big deal. But in foreign countries with sparse populations, this kind of personal influence factor is not enough.

The innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. Such a huge force of public opinion that is not controlled by the government immediately aroused the vigilance of the local government where TKTK is located and the fear of media organizations.

It was in this context that TKTK was subjected to inexplicable censorship and targeting one after another.

Especially in North America, after encountering more than a dozen groundless accusations about data security initiated by the local government, TKTK successively handed over data storage and review operations, two core permissions that are very important to the platform.

On the one hand, Yang Chenghao and Doushou's overseas business group thought this was the end, but it turned out that they seriously underestimated the ruthlessness of the North American side.

Giving up the two core permissions of the platform is just the beginning!

In the next few months, the local government held several inexplicable hearings and continued to put pressure on TKTK. At first, on the grounds of user safety, they asked TKTK for the user big data calculation model, a technology that involves the company's core competitiveness. After TKTK decisively refused, they simply stopped pretending and directly publicly amended and passed the bill, ordering TKTK to transfer all shares.

What kind of behavior is this?

If I have to give an example, it is like you rented a piece of wasteland and reclaimed it, and planted a large area of ​​fruit trees on it. But suddenly the owner of this piece of land jumped out and said that you can't plant this fruit tree, it will harm the soil, and you must give me half of the fruit.

As a result, after you divided the fruit in half, the big landlord not only did not agree to let you continue to plant trees, but tore up the contract and wanted to take your orchard for himself-or even the kind that won't let you take out the hoe you bought when you were planting!

In order to keep the orchard... um, to keep TKTK's North American business, Yang Chenghao has been running around in various hearings and law firms in North America for more than half a year.

After many tugs of war, the current situation is not optimistic.

The result of the orchard being occupied did not change because of the huge legal team fees paid by the group, but only gave up a year in time.

Now TKTK in North America is an orchard that is about to change hands for the Doushou Group. The only thing that can be done is to sell this orchard as high as possible so as not to lose all its money.

This is why Yang Chenghao came to Wang Xintian today.

The series of troubles caused by TKTK has dealt a serious blow to the company's stock price. Now the overseas part of Doushou Group has to develop new businesses to pull back the stock price that has been suppressed by the group of jackals in North America.

In this way, when the company is forcibly acquired in the future, it can still sell a little more money and recover some losses.

With such a mood, Yang Chenghao actually has no interest in Li Youzhi recommended to him by Wang Xintian.

Why?

TKTK is about to be taken away by others, so what's the point of cooperation!

What's the use?

However, just when Yang Chenghao suppressed his impatience and wanted to say a few words to evade the question, the words from Wang Xintian's mobile phone caused him to ponder.

"... Among the laws summarized by farming, our ancestors also derived philosophical theories about fate and all things based on these laws. One of the theories that is very important to Chinese civilization is yin and yang and balance."

"What is the balance of yin and yang? It means that there is an inevitable connection and mutual influence between seemingly opposite things. Take the hexagram Qian in the Book of Changes as an example. The line of this hexagram is: On the ninth day of the lunar month, Qian Don't use dragons; 92, seeing a dragon in the sky is a good thing; 93, a gentleman works all day long and is vigilant at night, no fault; 94, he may leap into the abyss, no blame; 95, a flying dragon is in the sky, Good luck to the Lord; if you go to the ninth level, you will regret it."

"What do you mean? It means that in the beginning, this person's destiny has just improved. At this time, he should be cautious and safe, and not be too obvious. Wait until his destiny really ushered in rapid development, and then work hard until he develops. To the highest level. But what is next? It is inevitable decline, because he has reached the highest peak he can reach, and what will greet him is decline. This is the same as when the sun reaches its highest point and the night progresses. The deepest truth is about to usher in the dawn.”

"So for thousands of years, we Chinese have adhered to this principle. The Confucian doctrine of moderation and the Taoist doctrine of inaction are all derived from this. What we pursue is to prevent ourselves from getting into a desperate situation, but we also don't let ourselves get too involved. Only in this way can we survive for a long time. And if these two extreme situations occur, we will not be too desperate or crazy, because we understand that when something develops to an extreme, it will inevitably usher in a change. It is said in the Book of Changes that prosperity will lead to decline, and failure to thrive will be based on this concept. "

"This concept evolved from the Book of Changes has penetrated into the collective concept of our nation. It has affected all aspects of our life, including our view of history. Many foreign friends may know that China suffered a humiliating history a hundred years ago. , the nation and the country suffered a devastating disaster, but we still believe that we can recover today, which is based on this concept.”

"Because we know that the worst is over, and things will inevitably develop for the better. Whether we are strong or declining, it is just another cycle in our nation's more than 5,000-year history, but now we are moving from decline to decline. On the road to prosperity..."

Sitting on the sofa, watching the relaxed but focused young man sitting on the floor chatting on Wang Xintian's mobile phone, Yang Chenghao suddenly felt in a trance.

This is not referring to the Book of Changes... Isn’t this talking about the entire development process of TKTK!

This is all a hit!

On the sidelines, watching Li Youzhi finish speaking in Chinese and translate it again in rigorous English, Wang Xintian pointed at the screen with a smile.

"This boy, although I don't know what kind of tricks he is doing, he still has some thoughts in his mind. Oh, by the way, Mr. Yang, what do you think of what I just told you? This boy The Heguang Audio-Visual APP we are developing now has great potential overseas through short plays and self-made film and television content. Otherwise... why don't you try to talk to him later? "

Facing Wang Xintian's probing inquiry, Yang Chenghao put away the trance in his eyes.

More than just a conversation...

I even want him to tell me and TKTK’s fortune now.

This kid has something!

"Wang Ju, where is this young man now? Is he in China?"

Thinking this, Yang Chenghao asked.

"Probably in Chengdu. When the dean of his school came to our film bureau two days ago, he said that he was in Chengdu. He probably hasn't moved yet. I just don't know what kind of drama this kid is doing now. I'll give you his phone number. I'll say hello to him later, and you can contact him directly. Although the young man is a bit talented, his thinking is too out-of-the-box. God knows what he is doing every day and where he is. "

"Okay, I'll bother you, Director Wang. After I finish the things in the capital, I will definitely have a good chat with this young man."

After hearing Wang Xintian's arrangement, Yang Chenghao nodded heavily.

Somehow, he felt that this philosophical guy might be a variable for him!

…

At the same time, Yang Chenghao was shocked by the philosophical understanding flowing from Li Youzhi's sharp tongue.

London, UK, ELLES Technology Studio.

Watching Li Youzhi chatting in the live broadcast without showing any negative emotions that a prisoner should have, DVZ...Molly, the company's program engineer, frowned deeply and looked at her colleagues on the side.

"Melissa, damn this is different from what you said! Didn't you tell me before that even those trained agents would lose their sense of time in a closed environment and stay there for a few hours? Then why is this guy so calm? This is unscientific!

Faced with her questioning, the colleague on the side did not answer.

At this time, the slightly fat girl's whole body had turned into the shape of a heart.

"Melissa, Melissa! Did you hear me!?"

(^_-): "Oh? My dear Molly, what did you just say?"

Seeing that the whole person was already tending to have a love brain orientation, Molly had to repeat the question just now.

"Oh, my dear little Molly, didn't you hear the philosophy this man just said? There is no absolute in this world, and everything is in balance. Change is the norm - what a wise thought! What a nice muscle, oh Molly, I think I have been captured by Eastern philosophy, it makes sense, especially the two pieces on the chest, it makes a lot of sense... slurp... I want to go to China!"

"..."

Seeing Melissa's saliva flowing down, DVZ took a deep breath.

What kind of nymphomaniac is this! ?

Just some unreliable bad ideas!

Taking a deep breath, she put her eyes back on the live screen.

Staring at the figure sitting on the ground and talking in the screen, she wrinkled her nose. She wanted to curse, but her attention was guided by Melissa's words just now, focusing on the young, strong, and reasonable body.

The wild body, combined with the language full of wisdom, Molly's heart tightened for no reason.

She glanced away quickly, only to feel a bit of uncontrollable dry mouth.

Although... this guy's previous behavior was very annoying, but if you think about it carefully... the British Museum is not a good thing either. The cultural relics in it are indeed looted from all over the world.

Ahem,

this person... does have a little... sense.

Moreover... a public star can calmly implement even malicious suggestions. To some extent... he,

seems to be quite gentleman...?

Just when Molly DVZ suddenly broke into Xiaolu's heart, the comment area of ​​the live broadcast page of the Heguang Audiovisual Challenge had also experienced a huge shock!

Although the Book of Changes is the first of all classics, there are actually very few people in China who have read and studied the Book of Changes. Especially the younger generation, who are not very interested in such mysterious things, generally believe that this is just an ancient book of divination.

Also because of this attribute, domestic scholars rarely talk about this ancient book collection in public.

Today, hearing Li Youzhi explain the influence of the Book of Changes on civilization from a philosophical perspective, it can be said that it has opened a new door for domestic netizens.

For overseas netizens, this experience of using philosophy to explain the appearance of a civilization is even more fresh!

"Thank you for your explanation. I think I finally know how Chinese people think about problems. This may help me deal with Chinese people in the future."

"What a wise philosophy! Now those greedy politicians in the West should really learn such philosophy, so that they will not look for oil all over the world..."

"This is so interesting. I mean, I have always been curious about Chinese civilization, but the history of this nation is too long and too complicated. Every time I try to understand it, it will be daunting. I can't understand the history of this civilization and some people. After hearing what this guy said today, I know where the problem lies... Compared with Western civilization, The speculative philosophy based on theology of God, the way of thinking of Chinese civilization is fundamentally different from ours! I am sure that I have grasped something that is key to understanding Chinese civilization! "

"If you do this, I will put myself in a small black room. I don't ask to comprehend such a great philosophical theory, just let me pass the postgraduate entrance examination smoothly, I can stay in the black room for three months!"

"I'm so depressed, this is not self-imprisonment, he is enlightened in Longchang!"

"I knew that as we become more and more prosperous, there will definitely be great scholars who stand up to argue for this nation. But I never expected... This person is my little brother! Awesome~~!"

Beep!

Received the cumulative amazing value, 6120203 points!

Challenge room.

Hearing a crisp system amazing value account notification beside his ear, Li Youzhi looked at the black soundproof board in front of him, which was like nothingness, pursed his lips that were a little dry, and stopped his thought output.

Silently, he opened his system panel.

[User: Li Youzhi]

[Appearance: 101 (Upgrading...)]

[Temperament: 104 (Upgrading...)]

[Voice: 92 (Upgrading completed)]

[Stunning value: 55063312 points! ]

Looking at the total balance of more than 50 million amazing value accumulated through these few days of doing things, Li Youzhi touched his belly that had begun to growl because of the disorder of the biological clock.

Should I say... This small dark room is locked up.

Except that the time is a bit chaotic and I don’t know whether it is day or night... It’s getting more and more interesting.

This is too much income!

Have you stayed here for a day now?

With an income of 10 million, how many people are watching this live challenge page outside!

If you can maintain this level of income every day, let alone five days, give Brother Zhi a monthly subscription first to stack the double attributes of appearance and temperament to 110 before leaving!

This is not a prison room, this is a VIP hang-up room, right!

Plop,

Just when Li Youzhi was thinking this, there was a slight sound from the door of the computer room.

Getting up from the ground, Li Youzhi came to the small door that led in. In order to completely isolate the connection between the inside and the outside of the house, this small door was also uniquely designed.

In the middle of the small door, there is a small opening thirty centimeters square. But this small opening is not directly connected to the outside of the door, but is connected to a channel for transporting food.

Gently opening the partition of the small opening, Li Youzhi grinned happily when he saw a portion of hot rice, pickles and a bottle of purified water inside.

It’s over, Brother Zhi doesn’t want to go out anymore… What should I do?

Outside the challenge room, there is a temporary rest area set up by the escape room shop on the fourth floor of Dawan Commercial Building.

He glanced at Liu Meng, who was holding a portion of braised chicken and rice behind him and staring at the back of his neck while showing off wildly. Subona felt a chill in his back and shrank his neck for no reason.

Looking at the extremely slow speed in the live broadcast monitoring screen, it seems that every grain of rice and every pickle is a delicacy, and Li Youzhi eats it very seriously and solemnly. And... the Heguang Audiovisual special live broadcast page with a total online viewership of more than 2 million, Subona was completely confused.

who I am?

Where am I?

What did I do?

This is different from the imagined script,

Obviously at this time, what I should see is the scene of that bastard rolling around on the ground, manic and crazy. But why... is he acting like a saint who has attained enlightenment in a dojo?

Spending over a million dollars on renovations seems to have done no harm to this little bastard, not even breaking his defense.

On the contrary, it diverted him!

If this trend continues, if he can really survive five days in there... Subona shuddered when he thought of the consequences of Li Youzhi's successful challenge.

After learning that Li Youzhi listened to the advice of British netizens and was going to take on this confinement challenge, why did he increase his sponsorship?

Just because they failed to settle the overseas copyright of "Daydreamers" before, they sent this damn guy to the UK to make a fuss, and poured a bucket of shit on the BBC, the most important media platform of Warner Bros.!

If I go back like this, I will definitely be waiting for the liquidation from the top management of the Warner department. That's why I thought of taking this opportunity to completely deal with this guy who is hated by all the senior executives of Brother Zheng's Warner department, and then go back to report on his duties.

In this way, I might have a little chance of turning around in the group in the future.

But now, judging from both facts and senses, this turning point has not come but seems to be getting more and more slim, FK!

"Ahem,"

Imagining his bright future, Subona turned his head slowly and looked at Liu Meng, who was as strong as a brown bear and showing off his rice, and showed a polite but not embarrassing smile.

"My young gentleman, may I ask you a few questions?"

Hearing Subona, a foreigner, ask in Chinese, Liu Meng didn't even stop holding the chopsticks in his hand.

"If you fart, just let it go. I won't pay attention to you anyway."

"..."

After being contradicted by Liu Meng, Subona suppressed his blush, gritted his teeth and tried to maintain the grace and smile on his face, and asked tentatively;

"You and Heguang Audiovisual are currently developing overseas markets, right? Who is in charge of this area now? What are his abilities and experience? For someone like me who has served as a senior executive of a multinational company, do you think it is possible? ...That's what I'm asking, is it possible to be qualified for this business, even as a deputy..."

"Well?"

Faced with the extremely stiff smile on Subona's face, and looking at the nearly fifty-year-old guy's slightly dodged eyes that seemed to lack confidence, Liu Meng raised his eyebrows.

"The person who is now in charge of the company's overseas business is a junior classmate of our school. She is also the sister Mo Ni whom we had befriended before graduation, deputy manager Tu Su Su Tu."

"As for whether you are qualified for this business..."

After looking Subona up and down, Liu Meng snorted.

"I don't know what your level is in terms of ability, but judging from the fact that you haven't played around with Flagship Media, it shouldn't be very good. But as the leader of our company, we don't pay much attention to ability. After all, my brother Zhi is so powerful that he can take care of everything. It’s okay to take him with him and tie up the dog at the post, but there’s just one thing…”

Seeing a hint of hope and joy rising in Subona's eyes, Liu Meng poured a basin of cold water down.

"Before Su Su became the vice president, she worked as an assistant to Brother Zhi for more than a year, taking over the entire process of cleaning the room, cooking, making the bed, and carrying bags. As for whether she would accompany him on the bed or something like that, it cannot be completely ruled out. You... I guess even if you can spare it, Brother Zhi is unlikely to let you take advantage of this. You should just go back to where you came from. It's easy to get yourself into trouble by thinking too much about beautiful things. "

(灬)

Listening to Liu Meng's ruthless rejection, Subona cried.

This is the first time in my life that I feel the differences in the workplace.

At my age, it is too difficult to find another job!

…

Although he still couldn't regain control of time, after eating, Li Youzhi, who was full, still caught some rules by studying the system's amazing value entry prompts.

What's the rule?

The rules of the total amount of amazing value contributed by netizens at home and abroad!

Generally speaking, the amount of surprise value paid by netizens is closely related to the peak period of the Internet.

Take China as an example. Under normal circumstances, the stunning value during the day is not as much as during the prime time at noon or evening. Overseas, they are actually pretty much the same.

By studying the rhythm of amazing value recording, Li Youzhi seems to have roughly figured out the time period he is in.

When the amazing value is significantly increased, it must be the peak traffic at noon or in the evening. And through the reference of the amazing value of both domestic and foreign parties, combined with the fact that he entered the challenge room in the morning, a rough concept of time was formed in his mind.

In fact, he didn't care much about whether his speculation was accurate or not, but in this environment, the accuracy of time was not a problem.

As long as he could provide himself with a time reference, the biological clock could operate normally, which had helped Li Youzhi solve a big problem!

In the next few days, Li Youzhi sorted out his life rhythm according to the time he speculated.

In what he thought was daytime, he combined the philosophy of the Book of Changes and used self-talk to tell netizens at home and abroad about the history and characteristics of Chinese civilization. And at night, he slept peacefully to replenish his physical strength.

Under this rhythm of life, time passed like a wild dog that had broken free from its reins.

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of Li Youzhi's captivity.

"The saying in the Book of Changes that there is no flat without a slope, and there is no going without returning, is actually very consistent with the Chinese mental state. It means that the development of things will not be smooth sailing, there will always be ups and downs and challenges, and the cyclical development of things. That is, there must be a return after going, and there must be an end after a beginning..."

In the dim room, just when Li Youzhi had just finished drinking the mineral water that was delivered last night and had its label torn off, he sat in the middle of the room and continued to explain the philosophy of the Book of Changes.

Suddenly, a strange sound at the door made him shut his mouth.

With a crisp click, a dazzling white light appeared in front of him.

Bang.

Squinting his eyes and covering the light source that was too bright for him with his hands, Li Youzhi raised his head.

"Brother Zhi! Damn, stop talking!"

"Brother, what words should I use to describe you? You read a lot of books, teach me!"

"You idiot, do you need books to describe my brother Zhi? Just shout 6!"

At the door, the voices of Wang Hui, Liu Meng and Zhuang Hongbin, several rebellious sons, came in together with the dazzling light.
