Chapter 1015: Chapter 620: Inviting Shen Qingning to the Movies
In the office, Cheng Zhu had only one thought while listening to Shen Qingning.
“Are you picking on ?”
But facing those cool eyes, he swallowed slightly and didn’t say anything.
What could he do? After all, she’d been emotionally tornted and was still busy at the company every day.
Cheng Zhu coughed a few tis and chose to stay silent, adhering to their agreent of “business is business.”
Honestly, Ningning already had a cool deanor and a strong presence. Now, after so workplace experience, she exuded even more of a strong woman’s aura, and her presence had only gotten stronger.
“Not cute at all,” the dog-man comnted inwardly.
“Still, she was cutest when she called ‘brother’ with a hint of crying,” he reminisced.
Since Shen Qingning saw that he wasn’t speaking, she didn’t continue the topic.
She just started talking about another work matter.
“The ‘rmaid’ side has communicated with ; they gave us three placent options. Look and see which scenario would be best for placent,” Ningning said.
The “rmaid” she ntioned was the movie “rmaid,” set to premiere in the Chinese New Year season of ’16, directed by Mr. Xing.
Youu Tea had grown to this scale, and each quarter, a budget was allocated for advertising.
Sotis, it would be used offline, like in subway stations, etc.
Sotis, it would be used online.
It wasn’t easy to get a product placent slot in “rmaid,” Mr. Xing’s work after “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.” Cheng Zhu had put in a lot of effort too.
Shen Qingning had no objections to this investnt.
Movies, you see, once released, their box office performance is indeed uncertain, even the most skilled actors and directors can have a flop.
But the na Zhou Xingchi is still quite reliable at the mont!
However, from the start of the collaboration, the “rmaid” side’s attitude was very clear and a bit firm.
That is, which picture the placent would appear in was entirely up to them; there was no room for choice or discussion, and the screen ti would only be about three seconds.
Cheng Zhu knew that this movie would break box office records and create a frenzy of “owing Mr. Xing a movie ticket” for the Chinese New Year season, with many people watching it twice or thrice, boosting the box office.
Therefore, he was indifferent to this mode of collaboration.
“Ah, I’m not picky.”
Then, an awkward situation occurred.
——The placent of Youu Tea got cut, hehe.
No matter if you’re the sponsor, if the scene doesn’t feel right, snip, it’s cut!
So now, it’s like making up, giving three options to digitally add Youu Tea in post-production techniques.
After taking a look, Cheng Zhu raised his head and asked Shen Qingning, “Which one do you want to pick?”
“I personally prefer the scene where the male and female leads are ‘chicken-eating.'”
Her thought was simple, since they were going to place an ad, it should definitely be on the male lead Deng Chao.
But Cheng Zhu knew the movie content, and the ‘chicken-eating’ scene preceded by an exhilarating driving scene; it was a fantastic display.
However, having Youu Tea appear in the final ‘chicken’ scene, sowhat felt abrupt.
After taking another look, he got attracted by the words “police station.”
“Add it to the police station!” he imdiately decided.
He was too aware of how brilliant that scene was and how strong its long-tail effect would be!
There’s no denying, even though the actor only caoed for a few minutes in the film, the performance was just too eye-catching.
If nothing else, the of those two officers had been on his WeChat for many years before…
Cheng Zhu even rembered that on the police station’s desk there should be a white enal mug.
Replacing it with Youu Tea wouldn’t be a problem!
Who said police officers can’t have milk tea delivery?
He wasn’t sure what the “rmaid” side would do, but Cheng Zhu felt choosing the police station was foolproof!
Shen Qingning furrowed her brows slightly, with so confusion.
But she didn’t ask much.
Because, up to now, many of the big decisions Cheng Zhu had made never went wrong.
Whenever soone doubted him, they ended up getting slapped in the face.
“I’m not Shen Minglang, always diving in to give him opportunities,” Ningning thought.
After finalizing this matter, Cheng Zhu said with a smile, “When the New Year cos, Mr. Cheng will treat you all to ‘rmaid.'”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingning’s eyelashes quivered slightly, then she raised her cool eyes again, speaking calmly, “No need, just you and Lu Lu can go.”
Upon hearing this, the dog-man’s smile broadened, and he said in an exasperated tone, “What are you thinking? When I said ‘treat you all,’ I ant the people in the company, not just taking you alone. I’m generous, okay?”
Hearing this, Ningning coldly threw out, “Boring,” and then picked up her files and phone, stood up, and turned to leave.
“Are you coming or not?” Cheng Zhu deliberately shouted at her back.
That sentence actually contained hidden aning, quite useful.
Shen Qingning didn’t reply, ignored it entirely, and after opening the office door, left straight ahead.
…
…
Ti moved to December 24th, Christmas Eve.
Zhang Yiming specifically ca to Hang City to et with Cheng Zhu.
Although Little Lu’s birthday was tomorrow, Cheng Zhu reserved tonight for her.
So, they scheduled their eting in the morning.
This way, he wouldn’t have to invite him for dinner…
Because Cheng Zhu was very sure they would chat for a long ti.
No matter what, Zhang Yiming was quite a remarkable person to have brought TikTok to this level in his previous life.
In his heart, Cheng Zhu had many areas he wanted to learn from.
Therefore, he also valued this eting greatly.
Before ten in the morning, Zhang Yiming arrived at the Youuqu headquarters.
Cheng Zhu personally ca out to greet him and brought him to his office to sit down.
The head of ByteDance was a man with quite an affable deanor when he smiled.
Speaking of which, there was an indirect connection between him and Cheng Zhu.
——Zhang Yiming and Wang Xin are from the sa hotown.
Even their families have so acquaintance with each other.
The two have been friends for nearly ten years now.
In 2008, he joined Wang Xin’s team as a technical partner to work on FanFou, known as China’s Twitter.
Later, as FanFou fell, Wang Xin went to work on ituan, and Zhang Yiming went to work on ByteDance.
However, as TikTok grew larger and started targeting the “local lifestyle services” sector, it beca a direct competitor to ituan.
Cheng Zhu knew all these things.
He now had one thought.
“Oh! I won’t let you two old hotown friends start fighting!”
Now ituan is already struggling to handle the alliance of Dianping and Ele!
I also started Youuqu ahead of ti!
Great, I’ve contributed to world peace again.
Of course, at this mont, Zhang Yiming was unaware of the “connection” between Cheng Zhu and Wang Xin.
Because he was officially just a minor shareholder in Dianping and Ele.
As long as Wang Xin and a few others didn’t say anything, the outside world didn’t know he was stirring up things from the shadows!
After the two sat down in the office, Cheng Zhu found sothing quite interesting.
“Zhang Xuhao, Zhang Tao, Zhang Yiming…”
“Why are they all surnad Zhang!”
And all three of them are ultimately competing in the “local lifestyle services” business.
From appearances, Zhang Yiming wasn’t soone with a strong aura.
On the contrary, many dia reports described him as having a bit of a baby face.
But oddly enough, when he talked, he often gave people a genuine feeling.
During the conversation, Cheng Zhu couldn’t resist asking at one point: “Mr. Zhang, why are you interested in short videos?”
Zhang Yiming didn’t hold back and directly listed so data.
“Since 2012, I started working on Headline, and now, Headline has more than 30 million daily active users.”
“We simply calculated that ‘news apps’ collectively have about 200 million daily active users.”
“Among them, our Headline Tencent News is roughly 100 million.”
“Tencent Browser, Baidu Browser, UC Browser, these three major players, account for about 70 million.”
“Then the others combined are about 30 to 40 million.”
“But our internal company estimates that in the future, the entire mobile internet will have about 700 million daily active users.”
“It’s very obvious then, the penetration rate of news apps is only about 30%.”
“Even if Headline can capture half of the market in the future, it would still only have about 100 million daily active users.”
Cheng Zhu nodded repeatedly at these words.
This was sothing he truly didn’t know.
Because he didn’t know much about news apps, nor did he pay much attention to their data.
Zhang Yiming had explained it very simply and clearly.
This was essentially telling Cheng Zhu that the future ceiling, or limits, of Headline’s potential was obvious!
Anyway, no matter how much they do, that’s how it will be!
Zhang Yiming continued, “The internet is accelerating its shift from PC to mobile, which is sothing ByteDance anticipated from the very beginning.”
“Of course, now that it’s almost 2016, everyone has already realized this deeply.”
“I guess this is one of the reasons why Mr. Cheng suddenly moved from milk tea and… uh, crossover to create Youuqu.”
He paused for a mont, ultimately not ntioning QQ underwear.
Speaking of crossover, who could cross as much as Cheng Zhu.
Starting with QQ underwear, then selling milk tea, and now moving into short video platforms…
Cheng Zhu nodded in response.
His true thought was: “The main reason is if I don’t do it now, you will next year. I don’t have ti!”
And Zhang Yiming’s next sentence was one that Cheng Zhu rembered deeply.
“I always believe that the mobile information distribution industry will have trendous comrcial value in the future!” said the man with glasses, barely in his thirties, with a slight smile on his face, as if he had great expectations for the future.
However, his smile soon faded as he said, “But we’ve already seen the end of what ‘Headline’ can achieve with its text-and-image content.”
Cheng Zhu agreed deeply, nodding, then leaned back against the sofa, casually saying sothing that resonated strongly with Zhang Yiming, even invigorating his spirit.
“Yes, for an internet company, losing imagination is equivalent to losing everything!”
