Chapter 684: Chapter 476: All Yellow Idol
Hang City, the Shen family.
Shen Minglang had just returned from another business trip.
Because Youu Tea had been launching new products nonstop recently, with many more to be released, his work was quite fragnted.
Flying around the country, he almost beca familiar with the first-class air hostesses of several airlines.
This journey was exhausting, but Shen Minglang, on returning ho, was brimming with vitality.
“Aweso! These past few days have been super aweso!”
He watched Cheng Zhu show off all over the internet, fully imrsed in the experience.
Youu Tea continuously trending also gave him, a minor shareholder, a great sense of achievent.
“How can I, Shen Minglang, not consider my career successful now?”
What gave him the most satisfaction was that his e-comrce second-generation friends finally learned Cheng Zhu’s real identity.
“When we first t, everyone referred to him as ‘Little Cheng.'”
“Look how stupid they were, that’s the very backer of ‘Persistent Visit’ they desperately wanted advice from!”
When they ca to Shen Minglang for information, Boss Shen directly popped up a video call.
Nothing special; he just wanted to see their fantastic expressions!
“Just texting on WeChat is not satisfying at all!”
This rebellious Shen family son ca ho with boundless anticipation, enjoying the drama.
The sunny and cheerful big boy wondered, “What state of mind will my dad be in after finding out Cheng Zhu made his fortune through the QQ industry, and how will he view him! Ha ha!”
Besides that, Youu Tea was about to start its second round of funding.
He was curious about what Shen Guoqiang was planning.
Shen Minglang actually didn’t think much about profits.
For him now, even without owning shares, working at Youu Tea felt exhilarating!
Upon returning ho, he saw Shen Qingning reading a novel in the living room.
“Qingning, were you waiting for ?” he asked.
He had inford his sister before returning that he would be ho today.
Shen Qingning put down the romance novel and looked up at Shen Minglang, her usual cool deanor unchanged, querying:
“Did you know about Cheng Zhu’s other businesses for a long ti?”
Shen Minglang pushed his luggage aside, sat down on the mahogany sofa, and laughed, “Smart! You guessed it right away!”
“I guess I was among the first few of his friends to know.” He was a bit proud.
He even thought to himself: “I have bought several of his products and used them; the experience was super good, just aweso!”
Shen Qingning slightly nodded upon hearing this, then returned to her book, actually not absorbing a single word.
“Did you just wait to ask this?” Shen Minglang was surprised.
“Yep.” She nodded.
Shen Ao Jiao suddenly felt her understanding of Cheng Zhu was actually quite limited.
Despite their many intimate monts, she didn’t even know his biggest industry.
When she saw the information online, she was completely shocked.
She couldn’t associate Cheng Zhu with being a QQ tycoon.
Shen Minglang couldn’t tell what his sister was thinking; he excitedly asked, “Is Dad ho? I see his car in the garage.”
“He is, seems like he’s on a phone call in the study,” Shen Qingning replied.
Shen Minglang instantly stood up from the mahogany sofa and strode upstairs.
On a phone call? Just wait!
I’m ho now, ti to discuss more important matters!
Shen Qingning watched her brother’s imposing figure, sighed softly, closed her romance novel, and followed him to prevent any trouble.
“Knock, knock, knock.” Shen Minglang knocked on the study door directly.
Shen Guoqiang, while on a phone call, opened the door and frowned deeply at his son.
“Send the blueprint first, I’ll call you back later,” he ended the call and then asked, “What’s up?”
Inside Shen Minglang: “Hey, he’s really keeping his cool!”
In fact, the middle-aged Shen Ao Jiao was just putting on a calm front.
He had been keeping tabs on Cheng Zhu these past days, including the article published today in the Zhejiang Daily.
Shen Guoqiang could tell this young man was sending signals to the capital market.
The second funding round for Youu Tea was about to start.
This rebellious son had sothing he wanted to discuss, and he more or less knew what it was.
—Old man, it’s ti to invest!
After the three sat down in the study, the middle-aged Shen Ao Jiao maintained his deanour.
Shen Minglang deliberately didn’t bring up the funding, waiting to see how long his dad could hold out.
Father and son chatted awkwardly, each topic barely lasting a few sentences before falling into brief silences.
“What did you co to for?” Shen Guoqiang was already losing his patience.
Shen Minglang cheerfully said, “Dad, you must have seen the commotion our Youu Tea has been making across the internet lately. I wanted to ask if you have any advice for , give a few pointers.”
Hehe, I’m just not bringing up the funding!
However, as clever as they co, he was imdiately hit by a severe blow from his own father.
Shen Guoqiang gave him a disdainful look, scoffed, and mocked, “What’s the point in advising you, isn’t it Cheng Zhu who calls the shots at Youu Tea?”
With your subservient nature to him, do you even have a say?
Shen Minglang: “Uh, well, um…”
Ah, the disrespect!
In the end, it was Shen Qingning who sighed softly, seeing no solution between the father and son, and took the initiative: “Dad, Cheng Zhu told us he plans to start the second round of funding later this month.”
The middle-aged Shen Ao Jiao looked at his dear daughter, glanced at Shen Minglang, and said, “Okay, I got it.”
And then, there was no follow-up.
Shen Minglang couldn’t hold back any longer: “Dad, aren’t we going to follow the investnt? No way! Youu Tea is doing so well right now, aren’t we following up?”
Shen Guoqiang’s eyelids twitched slightly, and he virtually wanted to grab his belt.
“I said I know!” he said sternly.
You rebellious son, do you really want your old man to tell you he’s freaking broke right now!?
The company had just acquired a new plot half a month ago.
Moreover, the cash flow was already tight, and just a few months ago, he had given them 60 million in cash!
The first funding round for Youu Tea had only just ended recently.
He had initially thought Cheng Zhu to be rather arrogant and pompous, but it turned out he seed to make true all his bold statents.
Regarding the QQ industry, Shen Guoqiang had little respect for it, seeing it as low-grade.
But after reading the Xinhua Daily report and seeing his influence on Guan Yun’s developnt, he thought a young man achieving such a level was quite remarkable.
As for whether to follow up with investing in Youu Tea… of course, he would!
They would invest as much money as they could raise!
Just the article from Zhejiang Daily alone could make one see Cheng Zhu’s limitless future prospects!
Raising money, the most important task in the near term, was raising money.
He never imagined that one day he’d be overwheld by a freshman, figuring out how to scrape together funds, feeling endless crises and urgency!
For so reason, Cheng Zhu’s previous words began to echo in his mind.
“Know why the word ‘future’ contains ‘cheng’? Huh?”
…
…
Technology University, girls’ dormitory.
Zhang Qiqi hadn’t received a WeChat reply from Cheng Zhu for a day and a half.
The only thing she had waited for was this article from the Zhejiang Daily.
“Junior must be too busy lately.”
“Did I perhaps bother him a bit?”
This forr fishing gaming ace now sounded like a sycophant.
Initially, the internet celebrity school beauty approached Cheng Zhu to “show loyalty.”
The excuse and reason were very simple, just, “Junior, I heard from Mr. Zhu about your plan to set up a short video platform, and I’ll definitely join as soon as possible!”
Although she was well aware that her small internet celebrity status wasn’t much use to Cheng Zhu anymore, she definitely needed to seize the opportunity to show loyalty.
This green tea school sister knew well that n liked various forms of flattery from beautiful girls.
Even if they weren’t moved by her, they’d still gain a certain degree of satisfaction, feeling glamourous and attractive.
Regrettably, they hadn’t started chatting, and she didn’t get the chance to “show loyalty.”
Zhang Qiqi opened the Zhejiang Daily article about Cheng Zhu on her dormitory bed and read it carefully.
When she saw the content towards the end, she internally exclaid that sothing was amiss.
In the report, the interviewer also asked Cheng Zhu about his future business plans.
Cheng Zhu then laid out his fourth move.
After talking about Youu Tea, he added, “Actually, I’m also going to launch a short video platform soon.”
He began praising Hang City, the provincial capital of Zhejiang Province: “Hang City is a city with a heavy internet atmosphere, ho to many big internet firms, brimming with talents, and the governnt also strongly supports the developnt of the internet industry…”
After praising the city, he went on to praise his school: “And I’m a computer science student, and Technology University’s School of Information has always supported to the greatest extent.”
“So, I’ve always had the idea of starting a social platform.”
“Expected to et everyone in the second half of this year.”
Zhang Qiqi felt she was still one step ahead, but unexpectedly, the junior had ntioned it in the news report, already starting to promote it in advance!
“Trouble, now it’s troubling.”
Zhang Qiqi imdiately opened Weibo to check the situation.
Sure enough, as she expected, the official Weibos of both Youu Tea and Persistent Visit had also begun to promote their boss’s internet project.
Under Youu Tea, there were comnts like, “Will Cheng Zhu record short videos himself?”
Clearly a fan of his looks! A screen licker!
In Persistent Visit’s comnt section, it was truly spectacular!
Internet celebrities from throughout the network were coming out in droves, joining the pilgrimage-like scenario!
Everyone was eagerly showing their loyalty, as if doing so could get them noticed by Persistent Visit or even by Cheng Zhu.
He was truly like an internet idol now.
“Joining, joining as soon as it launches!”
“Totally looking forward to it.”
“I’ve been learning to dance recently~”
“[Photo], Brother, is this level okay?”
Never underestimate these people.
What business they do privately is another matter.
On social platforms, each one of them is a well-practiced expert at censorship, with censor personnel treating them like their own children, virtually unable to handle them.
These web celebs together form a well-trained army; they just know too well!
Once Cheng Zhu’s short video platform included them, it would an gathering the most boundary-pushing people on the entire internet under his command!
