Hu Lan: Where did your boyfriends take you? If you go to a hotel, be sure to choose a waterbed; whoever tries it knows!

Chen Yu: By the way, is he up to it? Can he handle both of you?

Hu Lan: I heard most guys just brag, saying things like making their girlfriend cry, directly making her call him daddy, or having their girlfriend meow. It’s actually all bragging!

But this is true.

During the time when guys are seventeen or eighteen, and it’s been a while since things happened.

Most can really do it.

But after that golden period, after they turn thirty, most of what they say is really just about when they were seventeen or eighteen.

After all, the peak for men is really separate from the peak for women.

A seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy meets a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl, and he really can make her cry.

Chen Yu: Hahaha, our conversation is becoming more and more off track.

Hu Lan: Are you two already on board?

Chen Yu: Why aren’t you replying to messages, is it happening right now?

Hu Lan: You must stay safe, don’t cause any fatalities, that’s no small matter.

Chen Yu: On this point, I must support Lan Lan. If fatalities happen, it’s very hard to handle, you can’t skip precautions just because the big boss is nice to you!

Hu Lan: Damn it, they really aren’t replying, is it....

Shangguan Shui’er: ?????

Shangguan Feier: You two, don’t you have boyfriends, so you act like this all day?

Hu Lan: Damn, have you two finished?

Shangguan Feier: I....

Shangguan Feier: Hu Lan, you’ve got issues. We’re watching a movie with Luofeng!

Shangguan Shui’er: We were supposed to return after watching the movie, but Luo Feng’s family company needed to handle some things, so we came over!

Shangguan Feier: Their family company actually took over the entire 88th floor of Guojin No.1 Building!

Hu Lan: Damn it, the whole floor?

Chen Yu: Boss Luo is so amazing!

Chen Yu: Two besties, seek to ride on his coattails, seek to become his coattail accessory!

Hu Lan: Seeking to ride along.

Chen Yu: Weakly saying, I also want to ride along!

Shangguan Feier: You got it wrong, he is my sister’s boyfriend!

Hu Lan: Tsk!

Chen Yu: That guy clearly wants to open rare dots and bet on all sizes, isn’t that right? I almost believed your bullshit.

In fact, Chen Yu edited some of her text.

She wanted to say that Luofeng clearly wants to open rare dots on all sizes, but Shangguan Shui’er and Shangguan Feier also clearly didn’t refuse, right?

......

Elsewhere, in Chen Ping’s office, Chen Ping brought over some documents to Luofeng.

"Boss Luo, according to the investigation, your guess was very accurate!" Chen Ping spoke first.

"Ai Enterprise Video, indeed plans to increase membership subscription fees, they’re planning to make a big gamble!" Chen Ping said.

Luofeng took the documents and then said, "This big gamble hasn’t even started, but they’ve already lost!"

Chen Ping silently nodded, agreeing with Luofeng.

It was said before, increasing membership subscription is completely a temporary fix.

Although this method can quickly obtain funds, it will certainly cause a lot of dissatisfied members to leave Ai Enterprise Video’s platform.

After all, Ai Enterprise Video members still have to watch ads.

And also need to pay membership fees.

Under such circumstances, why raise the price?

What’s even worse is that after the number of members declines, subsequent revenue will further decrease, and there won’t be enough funds to maintain the entire platform’s content volume.

The platform lacks enough content, which drastically reduces its appeal to paying members.

Thus causing a decline in membership numbers.

This kind of deadlock, there’s no way to break it with one’s own power, otherwise how could one fall into a deadlock?

The only way to break the deadlock is to inject new resources, bringing in more excellent TV dramas, movies, anime, etc.

Thus forming good content to attract members, creating a continuous loop.

But now Bear Palm Company itself is in a mess, the internet’s three giants BAT myth, long doesn’t live up to its name.

Ranked first, B-series Bear Palm Company, being crushed into bits by AT’s two companies, isn’t that right?

"Then does Baidu Company have any intention to step in for Ai Enterprise?" Chen Ping asked.

Baidu is certainly Bear Palm Company.

"Actually, they do." Chen Ping said, "During the investigation of Ai Enterprise Video, I heard a rumor that Bear Palm Company tried to contact QQ to sell Ai Enterprise Video, but QQ refused!"

"That’s for sure!" Luofeng said.

After all, QQ has its own QQ Video, and it’s doing very well.

Why acquire another one?

Plus the video content is highly repetitive?

Do charity work?

This is also the situation Luofeng analyzed before, even if Baidu Company wants to sell Ai Enterprise, those who can afford it are very few.

Those who can truly afford it have their own child company, why buy?

"Old Chen, your next task is extremely important, I need you to establish a VIE framework to contact Baidu Company to discuss selling Ai Enterprise!" Luofeng said, "Oh, and set the final direction of the VIE framework in Lion City, but keep the specifics hidden. Before becoming the sixth giant, we must develop cautiously to avoid targeting from QQ and Ahri, as well as their parent companies!"

Speaking of VIE?

In Luofeng’s toolkit.

There’s a talent card.

It’s about VIE talent.

Luofeng immediately chose to open it.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining talent Li Rengui, who will handle the CIE variable interest entity framework setup work!]

Luofeng showed a smile.

Having such talent is excellent.

[Talent discovery will be recommended by Chen Ping!]

Sure enough.

Chen Ping immediately spoke up.

Chen Ping said, "By the way, Boss Luo, I happen to have a classmate named Li Rengui working on VIE. I’ll contact him first! He’s currently working in Shanghai, with an annual salary of 1.3 million, plus various bonuses. If we’re going to recruit him, how much should we offer to attract him?"

Luofeng pondered a bit, "Currently, both yours and Old Tong’s annual salary is three million, right? If we bring him in, we’ll start with a 2 million salary, and as for bonuses, you should conduct a thorough performance review, the final amount he can get will depend on his capability!"

"Mm-hmm, okay!" Chen Ping said.

This kind of offer exceeding 60% of salary, plus being classmates, usually guarantees recruitment.

For instance, if your salary is only 30k a month, and someone tells you another company offers 40-50k? Wouldn’t you be willing to go?
