Chapter 224 Finally, the first time I pretended to be a slap in the face!
“I still want to make a VLOG for overseas students. I can shoot this type of video myself.”
Xiao Zhao’s thoughts are different from Mr. Cheng’s. She understands Mr. Cheng’s good intentions, but she I also want to operate and try it alone.
In Zhao Hongjin’s view, if her four short video accounts are all operated by MCN Company, how much does her so-called achievement have to do with her?
She wanted to try it herself.
"Okay, have you decided on the theme of the next video?"
Since Xiao Zhao insists, Mr. Cheng will certainly not refuse.
The peach-eyed girl shook her head and replied:
“I haven’t thought about it yet, maybe I can take a picture of my school?”
PPD’s campus is here On the seaside, the buildings and gardens in the school are also very distinctive. Zhao Hongjin is very optimistic about this theme.
"Not a very good idea. What I mean is that if the content is only about campus, there are many reasons, probably related to risks, so I won’t go into them one by one.
My suggestion is that you can take some campus photos. Let the editor cut the details of life together, but don’t just shoot the campus.”
Xiao Zhao had to admire that Mr. Cheng was still taller than himself.
She sees the effects, while Mr. Cheng looks at the risks first.
“But I am going to release a video this weekend. The original theme of the international student VLOG was for me to go to Long Beach to take pictures of the sunset in Long Beach. I think this idea is a bit weak.
It's a great idea, but one theme alone cannot support a large video content. ”
Frowning slightly, Zhao Hongjin fell into deep thought.
Long Beach, although it is just an unremarkable little bay, has become a A well-known tourist attraction.
Zhao Hongjin’s words reminded Mr. Cheng.
Mr. Cheng looked at the calendar on the table and replied with a smile.
"Today happens to be Sunday. Can I invite you to a wine tasting party with me? By the way, you can watch the sunset on Long Beach."
The peach-eyed girl was a little surprised when she heard Cheng Daqi's invitation.
Brother, do you want to date me?
"Okay, but why is it a wine tasting party? I don't understand wine." Xiao Zhao replied a little confused.
“A friend invited me two days ago, but I wasn’t sure of the time, so I didn’t agree. I just said it depends on the situation.
I'll take you with me today so I can meet my friends and help you get some shooting materials. It's said to be a wine tasting party, but it's actually a gathering of young people. "
The person who invited Mr. Cheng was Thomas, the rebellious son of the real estate tycoon. He was one of those people who left his billions in wealth without inheriting it. Instead, he only wanted to be a catering man.
"Then... ...Okay. ”
Xiao Zhao’s life as a child is also very boring. The school is in the suburbs and the circle is too clean and too small. She is very happy that Mr. Cheng is willing to take her to see the colorful world on the west coast.
"Let's go now, the ticket is a bottle of good wine, we need to get some. ”
——
The black Tesla is driving on Route 8, and the giant bear Lear is driving.
Mr. Cheng is sitting in the back row, holding his mobile phone and diligently browsing short videos - this is part of his job.
Although Shanhaiguan and mas have full-time content collectors and analysis teams, they do not have the experience of five years ahead of Chengdu.
Xiao Zhao sat next to Mr. Cheng, feeling a little uneasy.
"Brother, we are participating in the West Coast Wine Tasting Party and the wine we brought is Maozi. Isn't it a bit too unique?"
Zhao Hongjin finally asked the question she wanted to ask. She didn't expect to buy wine in a big way. I actually bought Maotai.
Glancing at Zhao Hongjin, Cheng Daqi smiled. He found it very interesting.
Xiao Zhao is often too mature to be ridiculous, but she is still a 19-year-old girl after all, and she still has an innocent idea in her mind that she wants to integrate into the group and be recognized by others.
And she believes that the most important thing to integrate into a group is to be gregarious, or not to be too independent. This may be the influence of her education background in Chinese culture.
In fact, people always like special people.
Moreover, Moutai is not a special wine. Duomo’s circle of friends is quite sophisticated, and they may have tried this top-notch wine in China.
Xiao Zhao is still too young.
“It’s okay, you can search the story of Moutai on Baidu now and tell them the story when you get there later.
We are all young people, and this kind of gathering is called a wine tasting party. Well, actually the theme is to play with friends
It doesn't matter whether the wine you bring is good or not, as long as the story is good. ”
Mr. Cheng didn’t know what was going on at the wine tasting party. After all, he was just an ordinary entrepreneur, but he was still able to fool Xiao Zhao into a daze.
“Chan, can you take me with you when you drink? ”
The giant bear Lille is really heart-beating, very, very heart-beating.
He himself likes drinking, and Mr. Cheng also wants to drink wine with stories and listen to it. Well, how can Lille not be tempted by 'wine with a story'?
"Hahaha, yes, but you can't drink too much."
To detect drunk driving in the United States, you walk in a straight line. As long as you can keep a straight line, it is not considered drunk driving, so even if Domo is a part-time driver, he can still drink a small amount Drink a little. (I won’t go into too much detail, just think that this applies to the United States)
“Daqi, drunk driving is not safe, this...”
Xiao Zhao cleverly switched back to Cantonese to remind Cheng Daqi .
Well, during the Anti-Japanese War, she was at least a senior agent and had a strong sense of confidentiality.
"Let's find a substitute driver, Zhao. You actually lack experience, do you feel that?" Mr. Cheng teased.
"..."
The good intentions were all fed to the dog, Zhao Hongjin glared at Cheng Daqi and said nothing.
However, she does feel that she is too far behind Cheng Daqi. Although they are not much different in age, the gap between them is reflected in their actions and ideas.
Life is not easy, Xiao Zhao sighed.
——
“Ha, Chan, I thought you wouldn’t come, hahaha.”
Domo gave Mr. Cheng a warm hug when he came up. He really admired Mr. Cheng. All aspects.
“Actually, I didn’t plan to come today. I’m too busy. The new company has just been established, and my head is spinning with so many trivial matters.
But when I think about it, it’s your first time. Once you invited me, I told my secretary to postpone everything until tomorrow and I would come to attend your appointment tonight.”
With that said, Mr. Cheng took the Maozi he brought, raised it and introduced it.
“Maozi, the state banquet wine of China, is this a good wine?”
Mr. Cheng’s mouth can speak clearly about the three hundred kilograms of black round millstone, so naturally he can He easily defeated Domo, who was far inferior to the millstone master.
Hearing what Mr. Cheng said, the fat cook put his arm around Mr. Cheng's shoulders, raised his other arm and introduced him to the other people in the room.
“Everyone, my best friend brought the best wine. When Brother Shuimen visited China, he met the Chinese people and drank this wine. Its name is——”
< br>
At the end of the sentence, the fat cook motioned to Mr. Cheng to speak.
Because Domo’s friends are all between the ages of 20 and 30, Mr. Cheng is very familiar with this atmosphere.
After thinking about the preferences of Americans, Mr. Cheng smiled and naturally raised the straw in his hand and shouted loudly.
“King Maozi, King Maozi with only a few hundred bottles a year!”
Ah! ?
Everyone in Xiao Zhao was numb.
Brother, what we bought was an ordinary Mao Zi that cost 300 dollars a bottle. How did it turn into your mouth that it was limited to a few hundred bottles a year... King Mao Zi? King Maozi, what a bullshit name is this!
Unfortunately, Americans don’t understand President Cheng’s shame. They only feel excited, and some even cheer.
Perhaps Duo Mo's circle of friends is indeed a bit high-end, and it failed to produce the effect of being able to respond to everyone and get excited. Mr. Cheng was a little disappointed.
"Chan, thank you so much, hahaha, I put your wine at the end!
Superman always appears last!"
As the organizer of the wine tasting, Dormer knows that becoming He is always talking nonsense, but he is willing to give Mr. Cheng a face.
“Ha, one more thing, when it’s my turn to drink this bottle of wine, there will be a limit, one sip per person.
After all, this wine is too precious, hahaha.”
What Mr. Cheng was considering was Zhao Hongjin’s shooting effect!
Domo thought that Cheng was always showing off, but Mr. Cheng was never a person who liked to show off. His purpose in doing everything was to help Xiao Zhao make the wine tasting party more interesting.
"Chan, these are all small things. You said you opened a new company, can you tell me more about it?"
The fat cook took Mr. Cheng to a corner with a flower pot. , they stood in front of the flowerpot and chatted.
Domo and Mr. Cheng got to know each other because of his failed food truck business, and later this buddy even helped Mr. Cheng cook a meal for free.
"mcn, you can understand it as an Internet celebrity company."
Mr. Cheng lit a cigarette and looked at the Long Beach coast outside the small window. He felt that something was wrong with things.
When I met Thomas at the time, he was still a penniless homeless man who earned hundreds of dollars by selling out his country on the sidelines, so he invited Sani to dinner.
Now, in just one month, his two companies have gradually got back on track.
The seeds of the future have been planted, we just have to wait for time to pass and for them to germinate and bloom.
"MCN? You...Chan, the last time I heard this word, it was an investor scolding an MCN company he invested in.
Probably that company originally had thousands of oil pipeline network employees Celebrities, because of a YouTube policy, most small internet celebrities have lost their value overnight.
Are you sure now is a good time to be an MCN? ”
Duo Mo’s reminder. He is sincere. He is naturally cautious. In his opinion, Cheng Daqi seems to have chosen a very bad industry.
Mr. Cheng smiled and replied.
"I know what the case you are talking about is about. I did some research before I started in this industry. YouTube Partner of YouTube can get advertising revenue, but this year YouTube has adjusted the entry threshold of Youtube Partner, and many MCN companies cannot support it.
Their idea of creating accounts is to increase the volume. As long as the volume is large enough, they can make income, so they have many small Internet celebrities. However, after the YouTube policy changes, these small Internet celebrities have become useless. Earning assets, so those MCNs...
My model is different from theirs, and the platform I rely on is not YouTube.”
Entrepreneurship is always serious, and he dares to start from black hair. The rich woman and Sun Dongxin got financing just because he had confidence!
“Relying on the platform .Chan, entrepreneurship within the platform ecosystem is actually not a good model.
The risk from platform policy changes is only one of them. More importantly, many businesses started within the platform lack irreplaceability.
In the early days of the platform, they did not bother to do small and detailed business. However, when the platform matures, MCN, a business that does dirty work, cannot continue.
Those leading Internet platform companies will only squeeze out every penny. "
The fat chef is really capable, at least he has the knowledge and height in business. After all, that is where he started.
"You are right, but I won't just do the dirty work all the time, hahaha.
Not talking about this anymore, you said last time that you would continue to investigate opportunities in the catering industry. Do you have any clues? ”
Mr. Cheng has a clear path design for his future business map, but he doesn’t need to have a heart-to-heart discussion with an ordinary friend who is not even an investor, so he brought the topic back to Domo. .
“Well, Chan, I may lack a little courage like you, or rather, a lot.
The more I examine the matter of entrepreneurship, the more unreliable I feel. For example, in 2017, there were more than a thousand start-up companies seeking financing in Saint-Louis, and among these more than a thousand families, no one survived until Now there are less than 200.
In the foreseeable future, a large number of these two hundred families will die. In the end, you know.
Starting a business is gambling, and I may lack the courage to make a bet. "
Everyone has their own troubles. What they lack is not the courage to make a bet, but the courage to try and make mistakes.
"It is normal to fail in starting a business, but you have more experience than ordinary people. There is a lot of room for trial and error. I suggest you stop worrying about various risks. This is meaningless. As long as you do things, you cannot avoid risks.
But even if you do fail halfway for some reason, the experience you gained and the reliable people you met along the way will not disappear. They can be a boost for your next business venture. ”
Mr. Cheng has already seen Domo’s problem. This guy simply lacks the mentality to give it a try.
He had too much, and he was afraid that he would ruin the family fortune, so he didn't dare to take the plunge.
“Ha~”
A meaningless modal particle, expressing Thomas’s helplessness, recognition, and hesitation.
He was wearing shoes, so he did not dare to step into the turbid sea easily.
“Is this an apartment or a villa? Is it yours?”
President Cheng really liked the house where the wine tasting party was held. It was large enough and had double floors inside.
The best part is that looking out from the window, you can have a panoramic view of Long Beach.
In the distance outside the window, you can still see the U.S. Navy's military port, and there seems to be an amphibious assault ship parked there.
What man wouldn’t like a house like this?
“This building was built by my family, and I still have a few rooms in my hands. I can sell them to you cheaply if you want them.”
Well, the son of a real estate tycoon is really arrogant in his words.
"Cheap? No matter how cheap it is here, it still costs tens of millions, right?" asked Mr. Cheng.
“Hahaha, my room is more than 500 square meters, and it may cost 30 million U.S. dollars. I can give you a 15% discount, which is already very cheap.
Don’t feel bad about it. Expensive, customers here include Saudi princes, children of Japanese chaebol families, wealthy Chinese or Brazilians, etc.
With only $30 million, you can enjoy the top residential services in the United States. Thomas replied.
Chan, you lack a basic understanding of American luxury homes.
Thirty million dollars, equivalent to approximately 200 million Chinese yuan, is higher than the valuation of Chengzong’s previous company.
After all, I don’t deserve it.
The complacency that Mr. Cheng had gained during this period was shattered by this price.
He realized that he was still a little Karami, at least far from 'rich' in terms of cash flow.
There is still a way to climb, and he must continue to work hard.
"Domo, there is something wrong, there is."
A waiter found the two people in the corner. He noticed the presence of Cheng Daqi while he was talking, and added strangely .
"Ah, you are here, sir. Your female companion seems to have had a dispute with other guests."
A Zhao had a dispute with someone?
Mr. Cheng raised his eyebrows, he was even looking forward to it.
On the West Coast, my success was nothing, but in San Roto, huh.
Having been reborn for so long, can you finally show off and slap your face?
Six hundred thousand words later, the protagonist in my book is finally going to show off for the first time.
Hahahahaha, laugh to death
