Capítulo 1091: Chapter 686: Secretly Following Ningning to Another City
The sky was getting dark, Cheng Zhu was busy until half past seven in the evening before he had ti for a al.
Now, the competition between the two major short video platforms has entered a heated stage.
The usually stingy Kuai Shou has also started spending money.
This ans Cheng Zhu has endless etings every day.
Coupled with the simultaneous advancent of overseas layout, he wishes he had 48 hours in a day.
He is well aware of how important the overseas version of Youuqu is.
If it can truly replicate TikTok’s success, its future international influence will be terrifying!
Even back then, England wanted to ban it. During the election, Trump used it to gather votes, saying if he was elected, he would not ban it.
This was sothing hard to imagine in the past.
The huge sensation it has caused abroad, even leading to societal events, is actually nurous.
“Of course, given my character, if Youuqu can achieve such a degree overseas, I certainly wouldn’t kneel.” Cheng Zhu thought to himself.
He certainly didn’t want to be saddled with the nickna One Knee Cheng.
After leaving the company, Cheng Zhu drove to a random place to have dinner.
Then, he returned to Xinhang Apartnt.
This year, not only has he been busy, but the team led by Zhang Sixing is also busy.
The reason is simple, he’s preparing to “low-key” launch the live streaming feature.
Yes, with all the frenzy Kuai Shou is creating with live streaming, Cheng Zhu also plans to quickly follow suit.
“Only fools would take their ti.”
“The more you emphasize live streaming, the better you make it, the sooner I want to catch up.”
In fact, TikTok in its previous life also launched its live streaming feature early on.
Just that at the ti, it was indeed quietly launched—not as fanfare-driven as over at Kuai Shou.
Furthermore, TikTok at that stage was sowhat posturing.
After launching the live streaming feature, it didn’t create anything like [hourly rankings], [weekly rankings], [monthly rankings] as did other platforms.
TikTok declared that this approach would only alienate ordinary users from the hosts.
Our aim is primarily to promote interaction with the hosts—a relatively equitable communication thod.
Thus, TikTok would not have pure professional hosts.
We launched live streaming firstly from a community-building perspective and secondly because it has been proven to be a monetizable thod.
Say all that—it was a slap in the face in the end.
After discovering that live streaming is profitable, pretty much everything that should be done was done…
As for those previous claims… well, how can business matters be taken so seriously?
We’re rely keeping up with the tis.
Personally, Cheng Zhu actually thinks this kind of operation is quite good.
“To put it simply, at first, the focus is mainly on reputation before scaling up.”
“After scaling up, the focus shifts to making money.”
“If you have a nasty outset, it indeed would be detrintal to initial developnt.”
“But it’s all just tactics!”
Besides, Youuqu is about to launch another new feature.
That is: others will be able to use your video’s original sound.
You can share your video’s original sound for others to use.
This might result in so homogeneous videos.
For example, a dance video goes viral, and everyone uses that video’s music original sound to dance.
Thus, so music would explode in popularity after TikTok fire it up, suddenly rising on the charts.
Even so older songs will suddenly appear at the top of the rankings.
This feature will make certain video content on the platform highly consistent.
But it also helps to drive various trends!
In fact, so dancing videos or dressing-up videos—no matter how consistent the content is—it mostly still cos down to…different pretty ladies or perforrs playing around!
Other types of videos follow the sa principle.
Overall, as long as your platform’s content isn’t overly singular, is diverse enough, and has plenty of flowering, enough categories, then this won’t be a big issue and won’t lead to user aesthetic fatigue.
When you think about it, it’s actually a genius-level idea!
From a business standpoint, a platform developnt angle, and creators’ stickiness and activity, this is a godly move, absolutely more beneficial than harmful!
Cheng Zhu initially didn’t launch it just in case it would be imitated by other platforms.
He wants to wait until his platform grows stronger, then in one go push out this trump card.
“While you’re still small, many of your innovations end up as benefit for others instead.”
This, he truly understands!
….
….
Soon, the live streaming feature of Youuqu quietly went online.
The feature that allows others to use your original sound also went live.
After busying for this period, Cheng Zhu has slightly more free ti.
In the afternoon, he received a WeChat ssage from Shen Qingning’s assistant.
The assistant’s na is Liu Qing, whom Cheng Zhu helped Ningning hire.
As the second-in-command of Youu Tea, her ti is very precious, living a busy life, naturally needing an assistant.
Of course, this also serves as the man putting a pair of eyes beside her.
It’s not because he doesn’t trust Ningning.
He just thought, what if she needs sotis?
From the start, Cheng Zhu had instructed Liu Qing, “Every day when you’re arranging Mr. Shen’s schedule and work plan, send them to as well.”
In this regard, he truly acted out of concern.
He really was a hands-off boss, but he also feared that Shen Qingning would be too busy.
The proud young girl had a strong will and a tendency to soldier on.
Sotis, when the work at Youu Tea was too overwhelming, he would spare ti to help deal with so issues.
But today, the content Liu Qing sent left Cheng Zhu a bit puzzled.
“What’s she going to Yangcheng for the day after tomorrow? Is it a personal trip?” he asked.
Receiving the WeChat ssage, Liu Qing felt a bit confused.
There are plenty of people at Youu Tea shipping the ‘Match Couple’ pairing!
As an assistant, Liu Qing was at the forefront.
She didn’t know if Mr. Shen had noticed that sotis, if the company got too busy, Mr. Cheng would specifically rush back.
As an “informant,” she felt both involved and utterly obsessed at tis like these!
“Ahhhhh! How is this drama scene appearing in real life?”
“It’s so shippable, truly shippable!”
“I’m cheering for Mr. Cheng! I’m raising the flag for ‘Match Couple’!”
This gesture of care is truly heartwarming.
—”If This Doesn’t Count as Love!”
But why didn’t Mr. Cheng know about Mr. Shen’s personal plans today?
“Could it be… they’ve had a quarrel?”
“Are they having a cold war recently?” Liu Qing began to speculate wildly.
Nonetheless, Liu Qing wasn’t foolish.
She knew she was brought in by Mr. Cheng and understood who the big boss was.
Therefore, she truthfully reported what she knew: “Mr. Shen is going to attend Zhou Jielun’s concert. She asked to book flight tickets and a hotel near the venue.”
Cheng Zhu raised an eyebrow sharply at the WeChat ssage!
“Finally going to the concert?” he thought.
He thought his plan had failed, he thought his Oscar-worthy performance while drunk when Ningning sent him ho earlier hadn’t successfully hit her!
“It seems the previous workload at Youu Tea was too hectic, she didn’t have ti at all.”
“Besides, Zhou Jielun’s tour has only just begun this year.”
After briefly considering, Cheng Zhu typed to Liu Qing, “Book a flight ticket for too, and get a room in the sa hotel.”
“Sure, Mr. Cheng, please hold on a mont.” Liu Qing typed, “I need to check the flights, seems like there’s no first class on Mr. Shen’s flight.”
“No need, don’t book the sa flight, book a different one,” he instructed.
“Okay.” Liu Qing’s eyes lit up, and she started imagining various ‘wife-chasing dramas’.
What was regrettable for Cheng Zhu was that Liu Qing didn’t know which row Shen Qingning’s ticket was in.
But it’s okay, change the plan, dogman!
“Then let’s go with plan B!”
Ti moved on to the day after tomorrow.
Shen Qingning’s flight was at around ten in the morning.
After she arrived in Yangcheng, she would first go to the hotel to rest a bit, then do her makeup, change her clothes, and then take a ride to the venue.
She had Liu Qing rent a business car.
Today’s entire itinerary would have a driver responsible for pick-ups and drop-offs.
Cheng Zhu had Liu Qing book an afternoon flight, he still had to handle so affairs at the company in the morning, and there was a eting to attend today.
“Anyway, I’m not going to see the concert, going later doesn’t matter,” thought Cheng Zhu.
Yes, he had no intention of attending the concert.
“Let that stubborn girl go by herself!” thought the dog-man inside.
Rather than following closely, it’s better to wait here!
Of course, he also instructed Liu Qing not to tell Mr. Shen that he had also bought a ticket to Yangcheng.
Liu Qing of course agreed imdiately, and inwardly shouted, “I understand! I understand!”
She felt an overwhelming sense of involvent, feeling that although this job was exhausting and busy, the spiritual satisfaction was imnsely fulfilling!
She even wished she could tag along!
In the morning, Shen Qingning dragged a small silver Rimowa suitcase to the airport.
After getting off the plane, she headed straight to the hotel without any makeup on.
At the hotel, she lay on the bed, put on a face mask, and closed her eyes for a fifteen-minute nap.
Next, she began washing her face, applying skincare products, and sitting in front of the mirror to do her makeup.
Today, she did her makeup with extre care, making her already delicate features even more beautiful and moving.
Even the attire, accessories, etc., were carefully coordinated today.
To be precise, this outfit was specially bought when they had initially planned to watch the concert together.
However, her feelings when she bought the clothes back then and when she wore them now were entirely different, two extres.
Many people dress up nicely for concerts because they want to take photos, or because it’s a date.
However, the proud girl had no intention of taking selfies in the venue.
This woman, who loved to read tragic stories, had a bit of a literary vibe in her heart.
She was simply going to attend a long-overdue date.
In Shen Qingning’s bag, there weren’t just tickets for this concert but also those Cheng Zhu had sent her before, including the one she had torn up and then taped back together.
