Chapter 45: 044 Make the Best Use of Everything (Ten Thousand Words Ask for Monthly Ticket)

~14 min read 2,682 words

Song Yufeng's bones must be hard, but his body is indeed soft.

The direction of things is completely different from what was imagined.

I thought Gui'ai Network was miserable, but I didn't expect it to be myself who was miserable.

I thought Yu Xing was naive, but I didn't expect him to be the most sophisticated one.

Since he knew the situation on the day he was drunk, he sent himself home, even agreed to his request to help his girlfriend find a job, not only gave equity, but also gave online marketing's extra money.

From that day to today, it has been more than half a month, but he has been hidden and not sent, until...

Song Yufeng looked back like this, seeing sophistication, depth, experience, and... harmed himself!

The recording was listened to, and the conditions were agreed to.

Song Yufeng let go instead.

"Yu Xing, Yu Xing, I really looked down on you, but even if I really stand up, this company of yours is very difficult to beat NetEase."

"What kind of company is this? It's been more than a month at most. You can't win..."

"If it really doesn't work, you sell the company to NetEase!"

Song Yufeng said two sentences and suddenly found a way to save himself.

Stand up, the job is definitely gone, and I don't know how the industry looks at myself.

Don't stand up, that's even worse...

But if NetEase can buy Gui'ai Network, it can solve Yu Xing's problem and save his career.

"If NetEase is willing to buy, it won't ask like this and copy," Yu Xing saw it very clearly. "Even if it really buys, how much is it willing to pay now? If you want NetEase to pay, or want to sell the company for a good price, you have to burn this hard bone."

Song Yufeng had a little person in his mind who kept shouting "it's over". He shook his head hard and asked suddenly: "Yu Xing, if I don't agree, will you really publish the recording?"

Yu Xing looked at Song Yufeng strangely and said impolitely: "Mr. Reporter, why are you still naive? Otherwise? My company can't survive, do I still care about your life or death?"

Song Yufeng said powerlessly: "You don't care about my life or death now."

"Some people die, that is an indecent death," Yu Xing said. "Some people die, that is a vigorous death. As a reporter, you can count the travel expenses, but you turned around and explained my project to others. Also, that marketing fee of yours, how much did you keep in the middle?"

Song Yufeng swallowed his saliva and kept silent, unwilling to leave more handles.

Yu Xing didn't pursue it, just pointed it out, sneered: "To put it bluntly, it's just that you think we are easy to bully, you think small companies have no right to speak, you think college students have no ability, even if you come to ask me?"

Song Yufeng sighed: "Who can ask you, can you agree if you ask?"

"Not bad, I don't agree!" Yu Xing said sonorously, "But I don't agree, is there any mistake?"

Song Yufeng had nothing to say again.

There is no mistake. Gui'ai Network and Yu Xing have no mistake. The company did that... sigh, the industry is like that.

He felt uncomfortable in his heart, watching Yu Xing finally get up from his seat, and asked: "Can I go back?"

"Yes, go back, tell Yin Baoyi, we strive to make her equity more valuable," Yu Xing carried the bag with money.

Song Yufeng thought this was a sarcasm and was silent for a few seconds before saying: "I will let her tear up the contract when I go back."

"Tear it up for what? I said 1.5% is 1.5%," Yu Xing shook his head. "I won't be greedy for this little money. Do you think everyone does things like you cultured people?"

Song Yufeng finally fought back: "Yes, you don't do things like cultured people, you just threaten with recording."

Yu Xing smiled at this reporter he had known for almost a month and was not angry.

He also invited: "I'm hungry, we are going to eat, are you going?"

Song Yufeng heard this sentence as if he was going to be fed poison, and shook his head repeatedly.

However, when he really reached the dining table, there was still wine in front of him, a glass of beer.

Yu Xing toasted, drank half a glass himself, and Song Yufeng only took a small sip.

Things have come to this, Song Yufeng is not drunk, but he is drunk, and he also said his true feelings: "Scolding Ying Jiadong this afternoon, that feeling is really great. He knows I stand on the side of justice, and I know I stand on the side of justice. When I really stand up, other voices immediately lowered."

Yu Xing gave a thumbs up: "Brother Feng, hard!"

Song Yufeng had no joy, just shook his head: "Yu Xing, you don't know, I have been a reporter for more than a year. Many times, it's not that I am willing to let my blood cool down, it's what I saw and experienced... what charity organization, what competition inside story, forget it, it's meaningless to say these."

Yu Xing sighed: "Brother Feng, if you continue to say this, I will record it again."

Song Yufeng's nerves were pulled back, laughed, and sighed again: "You threatened me, I really don't know what to do in the future. After this matter of yours is over, I have to think about it carefully."

Yu Xing picked up the wine glass and said seriously: "Okay, Brother Feng, if there is no one to solve the difficulty when the horse is high and the lamp is short, the water is exhausted and the mountain is exhausted, just say it. I don't care about anything, I care about you."

Song Yufeng scratched his head in confusion and answered: "Okay."

The two ate until the end, Yu Xing put down his chopsticks, looked at the time, and said: "It's almost time for Sina's phone interview."

Song Yufeng was stunned and couldn't help asking: "Penguin again, Sina again, how many did you find? How much did you spend?"

"I found all I could find," Yu Xing said lightly. "I spent all I could spend. Brother Feng, one battle to achieve success, I have done everything I can do. Taking advantage of the slowness of your big companies, it is considered a bet."

Song Yufeng looked at Yu Xing who was shining with eyes, and suddenly felt the belief in winning that he was hiding.

One battle to achieve success, it is easy to say, but there are not many who can really do it.

Song Yufeng held the wine glass and sighed: "You dare to bet. Didn't you pay the wages before? If these are all public relations, don't you leave more money for yourself?"

It's just that, once he thought of the consequences of being drunk last time, he began to hate alcohol again in his heart.

Song Yufeng shook his head, not understanding this person's mental state, nor understanding his barefoot mentality.

A moment later, Sina's phone interview arrived as scheduled.

Song Yufeng heard the first sentence of Yu Xing's answer.

Yu Xing held the phone and answered calmly: "As a medical student, I really didn't expect that business competition is more tense than doctor-patient relationship."

Song Yufeng pondered and nodded slowly, having roughly understood the client's needs.

Yu Xing said again: "Wait until our proclamation is published, and then you jump out to 'repent and return to the right path.' This way, you can corroborate the authenticity of what we said. After all, you are the interviewer involved, and you are also a NetEase employee; you can quickly help us ferment the matter. Hmm, it doesn't have to be that we publish in the morning and you come out in the afternoon; you can do it the second or third day."

"Understood, let the matter ferment, and after there is some movement, I will give it another push." Song Yufeng understood his positioning as a torch.

Yu Xing discovered that this person was especially teachable after changing his mindset.

A moment later, Song Yufeng gave his own idea: "How about I make a scene at the company before I stand out? I will reprimand Ying Jiadong in front of my colleagues, rebuking this approach of his, and rebuking the approach of his team."

Yu Xing cast a surprised look; he could move on his own now?

Song Yufeng felt the meaning in that look and finally said with a bit of confidence: "My bones can be even harder than you imagine!"

Yu Xing said happily: "Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly the feeling, Brother Feng, keep it up."

"Don't call me brother, I should call you brother." Song Yufeng said with a complex tone, "Brother Xing, will that recording of yours really be destroyed?"

"Of course it's true, my word is my bond!" Yu Xing said earnestly, "Besides, once you've done this, you won't be able to stay at NetEase anyway, so what threat does this recording still pose to you?"

Song Yufeng said cautiously: "I'm afraid that the recordings you haven't released yet still contain insults to my character."

Yu Xing thought for a moment and said: "I'll give you a USB drive later; you can take it back and listen to it yourself. There's nothing else."

Only then did Song Yufeng feel slightly relieved.

"Brother Feng, I don't want you to do anything, and I have no issues with you." Yu Xing stated his position at this time, "I just need to develop the company. Hmm, you should ponder it when you go back today; you have to write my genuine indignation into it."

He signaled for his second-in-command to go pay the bill.

Song Yufeng's attitude toward work was still very serious, and he asked the client: "For example?"

"For example, even if NetEase is innovating together, he could have completely changed the items for redemption. He didn't have to use roses; he could have changed them to diamond rings, gold, or many things with romantic elements, or even just cash." Yu Xing frowned, "This model is the essence. As long as the final redemption value far exceeds the order price, then it is feasible."

He spread his hands: "But, he didn't change a thing, not even the name. It's too arrogant."

Standing in the position of this college student startup team, Song Yufeng couldn't help but nod; it was indeed quite arrogant.

"Do they think they have us cornered just by relying on a big brand?" Yu Xing smiled disdainfully and said proudly, "They would never imagine that we have hard bones."

Song Yufeng: "..."

He really couldn't bring himself to be proud.

"Let's leave it at that, Brother Feng. Write the draft and send me a copy to look at, then we'll discuss the appropriate time. You help contact online marketing resources, then you make a scene at the company, and finally, you directly reveal the truth." Yu Xing stood up and gave his final instructions.

Listening to all the "you"s, Song Yufeng felt that he had never been this important before.

The three stood at the entrance of the small restaurant.

Song Yufeng bid a lingering farewell, not really wanting to go back to face the difficult future.

"Brother Feng, wish us luck." Yu Xing extended his right hand.

Song Yufeng's heart had been turbulent all night; he helplessly extended his right hand: "Yu Xing, don't call me Brother Feng, just call me by my name, I'll be more comfortable that way."

Yu Xing shook his right hand up and down and laughed: "OK, call me Mr. Yu."

Song Yufeng looked at the young entrepreneur in front of him, thinking of his methods, his shrewdness, and his sophistication, and quite sincerely called out: "Mr. Yu, see you again."

Yu Xing let go of his hand and watched the reporter disappear from his sight.

"The recording is really useful." Lu Haiying, who was beside him, said.

"Social death is quite uncomfortable, but the nature of this matter is a bit different. If it hadn't been reported by NetEase in the beginning, even if NetEase Dating had done the same business, I'm afraid it wouldn't have made people feel there was much wrong." Yu Xing looked at his second-in-command, "Speaking of which, it was good that you made the contact back then."

Lu Haiying said modestly: "No, it should be said that it was good that Zhong Zhiling went in."

Back then, it was Zhong Zhiling who was caught, which led to Yu Xing and Lu Haiying attempting to use the media's name to attract the school's attention, and this "attempt" really did lure the NetEase reporter Song Yufeng over.

Only then was there this cooperation between the two sides today.

One can only say that when the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is all fate.

Lu Haiying followed Brother Xing back and asked: "Can this matter be pushed up on the internet?"

"Tencent might be interested; its reputation in this regard isn't very good. Normally, it should be willing to drag others into the water." Yu Xing said casually, "I asked Sister Ying to help find a way to contact Tencent's resources, and I will prepare some more travel expenses. When the time comes, I'll let Song Yufeng accept an interview with Tencent."

Lu Haiying felt that this was about to exhaust all possibilities.

She walked for a while and asked: "Will NetEase consider acquiring us to salvage public opinion?"

"It's difficult. We still have to find a breakthrough with those three companies like Century Dating, but companies aren't that easy to sell." Yu Xing said casually, "Most of the money in our account belongs to the employees, and we users need to be paid off to some extent. Those companies can only buy a brand. If it were you, how much would you be willing to pay for such a brand?"

Only then did Lu Haiying seriously stand in the buyer's position, and it seemed she really couldn't give a very high price.

"Fortunately, those three are in a competitive relationship, so we still have room to maneuver." Yu Xing stopped his steps, "NetEase can help us carry the sedan chair. The traffic that this public opinion event in August can bring is very important. If we can't cash out at a high level in September or October, we will easily face various problems, big and small."

Gui'ai Net was a company forced into existence, and the revenue scale was built because they spared no cost in distributing money. Whether it was rules and regulations or compliance management, these were prone to more problems over time.

Lu Haiying said "Hmm": "NetEase is really important."

Yu Xing smiled: "Do you know how I felt when I heard the news of NetEase's entry? It was simply like returning home and opening the door to find Tang Monk sitting in the pot himself!"

Lu Haiying felt that her senior's metaphor was very vivid. She ruminated on what she had seen and heard today, earnestly learning and absorbing the operational experience taught by her senior.

Jin Ling is left to colleagues for now; what happened in Shencheng is more critical.

However, it didn't keep Lu Haiying waiting too long. As a professional reporter, Song Yufeng's work ability was quite solid. He sent the crusade proclamation the very next day. I don't know if it was because of self-projection, but the content was filled with righteous indignation, and the writing was as moving as a weeping complaint, quite infectious.

It was just that the title was a bit difficult.

In the end, after discussions between Yu Xing and Song Yufeng, the first article published on the campus network was named—NetEase rides on my innovation, if Tencent doesn't come out, who can compete?
