I’ll sign a private contract with her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If NetEase really launches something similar to us, Song Yufeng will still be useful—he was the original interviewee. If he speaks out, we can more easily steer public opinion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how he might speak out…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden equity is one bargaining chip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing first explained this point, then added: “Compared to the results we hope to achieve, the cost of this 1.5% is low—if we sell the company for five million, 1.5% is seventy-five thousand; if we sell for one million, it’s only fifteen thousand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Equity sounds impressive, but when broken down into concrete numbers, it seems rather meager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether fifteen thousand or seventy-five thousand, this sum could significantly increase the chance of Song Yufeng betraying his employer in the future—extremely worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhong Zhiling asked curiously: “Then why would Yin Baoyi agree to join?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Song Yufeng got drunk and encouraged me in front of Yin Baoyi, telling her to aim for an IPO—painting her such a big picture…” Yu Xing chuckled at the memory, “equity suddenly became very attractive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Haiying asked: “Exactly what did Song Yufeng say after getting drunk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing brushed it off: “I recorded it casually—I’ll play it for you later, and yes, I’ll play it for him too if necessary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying simultaneously thought the same thing: if possible, never drink with Senior Brother again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds of heavy silence, Zhong Zhiling asked his final question: “Senior Brother, do you really think NetEase will enter our tiny market?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The romantic contract market is too small, and NetEase is a company worth tens of billions—this entire strategy rests on an assumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If NetEase doesn’t come, we keep doing our own thing; the 1.5% cost is just a gamble—if we win, we profit big.” Yu Xing first outlined the alternative, then added, “Don’t treat NetEase as some flawless monolith.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“NetEase’s core business is games and advertising.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dating services are just a minor sideline within this giant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it were Ding Lei, he’d have zero interest in such a small division—but down the chain, what about the dating team itself? Their mindset will determine the future direction affecting us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“NetEase’s dating division has three independent teams, yet none stand out—they’ve utterly failed to shake the market.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Under these circumstances, a fresh, self-consistent project—a new growth point or entry point—lands right in front of them. If you were in that team, what would you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing delivered a top-down analysis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously murky situation suddenly became much clearer; both Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother, this motive seems to have surfaced!” Zhong Zhiling’s voice rose noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing grunted: “So after repeated thought, I believe the opportunity is real. Big companies are used to bullying others—we’re now playing calculated moves against their carelessness, trying to snatch a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reassured his two partners: “Ultimately, we haven’t done anything wrong. We’re just a hardworking grassroots startup—we’re the good guys. Good guys with guns protect themselves better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Lu Haiying was confused: who the hell are good guys with guns?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she reconsidered—if we had no gun, we’d be utterly helpless. So if we had a gun, were we still good guys?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s my side,” Yu Xing instructed. “Keep communication open anytime. Right now, focus on expanding operations and fully exploiting customer mitosis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mitosis” was an internal term, avoiding the word “direct sales.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three leaders’ conference call ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Zhong Zhiling reflected on the meeting, thinking of the drunk Song Yufeng and his girlfriend recruited into the company, and couldn’t help muttering: “Senior Brother is practically a girlfriend killer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who even has a girlfriend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought this and felt Song Yufeng was his own mirror image—except Song Yufeng looked even worse off. What good could come from betrayal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Zhiling lingered on this thought for a long while, then pulled out his phone and called Senior Brother again, wanting to discuss his work in Lin’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two really are a pair—just as Xiao Ying hung up, you called.” Yu Xing said upon answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Zhiling’s heart tightened—was the No. 2 so eager? Was he leaving no room for the No. 3?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feigned casualness: “What did Xiao Ying want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just talked about Jin Ling’s work—she’s doing well,” Yu Xing chuckled. “Mainly shared her reflections and insights from the job.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother, I also wanted to talk about Lin’an—the timeline is tightening. I plan to set up team-vs-team performance competitions and further refine commission tiers to better motivate everyone.” Zhong Zhiling laid out his thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This idea stemmed from his experience of managing people through people—now he was applying team-vs-team management!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing remained silent for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Zhiling asked suspiciously: “Hey, Senior Brother, you still there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I’m listening. I’m thinking—you’re doing team-vs-team in Lin’an, while Xiao Ying just told me about managing with sincerity.” Yu Xing said. “Now I’m genuinely curious to see how both sides perform.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire ignited in Zhong Zhiling’s chest—good, good, let’s see who’s the true heir!\u003C\u002Fp>",1103,"2026-06-19T22:51:34.189Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","24baa4975e2a56ae5040513296f245996ace42078a59d5b6704177072b005624","what-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-chapter-38","what-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-chapter-36",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhat-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-cover.jpg"]
