Chapter 80: Are we going to build a platform now?
July 3, Sunday.

Wang Chengguang drove to a residential compound in Dongcheng District and soon saw Zhong Miaomiao standing on the side of the road looking around. Miaomiao was still wearing nice clothes with long straight black hair, looking as sweet as Bai Yueguang.

Wang Chengguang called out to her, and she ran to the passenger seat with her bag on her back, "Brother Guang, what are you doing today? Taking a photo of me, or checking on my singing practice progress?"

Wang Chengguang laughed, "Didn't you say you wanted to meet your sister-in-law? I'll take you home to meet her. Oh, and I wrote two more songs for you to sing alone."

"I hope you can practice well within a certain period of time as soon as possible. Otherwise, with your KTV microphone master level, you can only do lip-syncing and so on..."

Zhong Miaomiao, "..."

Zhong Miaomiao's body was numb for dozens of seconds, and she smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this a bit too sudden? This is more stressful than meeting the parents... How about next time?"

As Wang Chengguang started the car and drove out, he smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. I'm taking you to a commercial performance with Lin Xia. A large stationery group has opened a branch in Beijing, and we'd like to invite you to sing together for the opening ceremony."

"How's your knowledge of music notation and music theory going?"

When the two tribute songs became popular, even if Zhong Miaomiao and Lin Xia were invited to sing, it would be impossible for many students and teenagers to sing together at the company-level opening ceremony, but recording and posting them online... that's exposure.

The offer of 20 is not as good as it was just after the Lantern Festival.

But it's also normal.

As early as February 2, when he took out the script of Displaced Time and Space and Ruyuan's Storyboard, Zhong Miaomiao could only understand the lyrics and the comic book-level shots.

But it’s March 3nd.

After passing the art exam, Zhong Miaomiao still had plenty of time, and this was also supported by her parents.

Zhong Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly, "I seem to be able to recognize simple music from five-line notation. I can't say whether it's accurate or not. I'm still learning..."

Wang Chengguang grabbed the musical notation of two new songs and handed them over, "Then try to read them on the way and see if you can hum them."

He took out two songs, one is a tribute version of "Starry Sea", and the other is just mediocre. In the future, it will just be a love song with hundreds of millions of views or a song about friendship, "The World is So Big But I Still Met You".

Needless to say, the former, when sung, can inherit the May Fourth version's dislocated time and space and continue to be popular on the Internet as desired. In 2021, its popularity and playback volume will be tens of billions. Well, there were too many water data in that era, and I don't know where to find real and accurate data.

But for the tribute version, he just needs to stand in the most correct position to sing it before the Olympics. The depth and touchingness of his lyrics are not as good as those of "Dislocated Time and Space", but the melody is more catchy and brainwashing.

The song "The World Is So Big" is just simple pop music... adding some heat and making it a representative work.

In the next two months or so, Xinghuo Weibo will be launched for testing, and he still needs new generation Internet celebrities like Zhong Miaomiao to boost the popularity of Weibo.

Throughout the rest of the journey, when Zhong Miaomiao encountered notes, time values, etc. that she was not familiar with while learning the music, she would decisively ask for help. When the car arrived at the building where the stationery company's Beijing branch was located, she finally hummed the tribute version of "Starry Sea" haltingly.

When getting off the car, Zhong Miaomiao said excitedly, "Brother Guang, your talent is so amazing. You are indeed my idol. I will study hard and learn to sing as soon as possible."

………………

Time flies by.

March 3, Xuan Special Zone Home.

It was around five in the morning when Wang Chenguang had just finished making a hearty "breakfast" when he saw Wu Xiaowei approaching the kitchen door with a suspicious look on her face. "Brother Guang, it's past five o'clock. Are you so elegant? Doing so much?"

"I just want to go to the bathroom. The smell from your place is making me unable to sleep..."

Wang Chengguang, “…”

So much time has passed, and he can only say that after practicing a little more, he finally made a breakthrough in his first survival skill in life.

God rewards hard work system.

…………

It has been just over two months since his cousin came to Beijing to play. Not to mention Wu's excellence, his cooking skills have reached the top level, which represents a whole new level.

If he hadn't practiced more, especially when he was getting closer to a new level, he wouldn't have caused trouble so early.

Wang Chengguang said happily, "I tried to make some food supplements. You always complain about me as an animal, don't you? Eat some food supplements to replenish your body."

When the cooking skills are excellent, a lot of knowledge and techniques of medicinal diet and tonic soup recipes are integrated into the mind, breaking through the excellent level, and the delicious stimulation is much more overbearing.

Fortunately, he stored a lot of good ingredients in the refrigerator in the past two days. After he entered the palace level, all three dishes were food supplements and medicinal foods.

Wu Xiaowei ran in, hugged him and said with a smile, "I feel so hungry just by smelling it. By the way, when are we moving?"

"The renovation of the house on the East Third Ring Road was completed in more than three weeks. I also bought all the furniture and furnishings, so I can move into the new home at any time."

"Sister Taozi has been traveling around Chang'an, Luo City, Kaifeng and other ancient capitals with Gu Jingjing and Yang Xiaoyun for nearly 30 days. She will be back soon, right?"

"They promoted ancient style, Han and Tang culture, and tourism, and took on products from more than a dozen brands, with some selling for 100 or 4 yuan, and others selling for tens of thousands. That's more than million yuan in revenue, and Sister Taozi gets %, which is yuan before tax."

From Changan's invitation, the coal boss spent 200 million to pursue Yang Tao as his girlfriend, but was decisively rejected. Yang Tao's popularity began...

The ratio of their income from endorsements and commercial performances became 442.

Twenty or three hundred thousand yuan for each product at a time when it is the hottest and most popular. Later when the popularity decreases, the price will be reduced. Even so, Xinghuo's gross income is equivalent to more than 150 million yuan.

Gu Jingjing and Yang Tao each pocketed 30 yuan, and Yang Xiaoyun pocketed 15 yuan.

Yang Xiaoyun picked up the 15 yuan; she herself is not worth that much. However, it started with Yang Tao taking advantage of Gu Jingjing's halo, and then Yang Tao took advantage of Mile's halo.

It has become a common practice for newcomers to piggyback on celebrities.

There must be undercurrents here. Wang Chengguang left the detailed division of the profits to the temporary group to discuss internally and he did not participate.

The only way to say that this is that Yang Tao and Gu Jingjing probably felt that making money was too easy after getting on the big ship, and taking care of their sisterhood was more important than getting a few extra tens of thousands.

Besides, Yang Xiaoyun is Milei's best friend. They have both taken advantage of Milei and returned favors. Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Eat first. Talk after you are full."

………………

More than a day later, on the morning of March 3, the 28st day of the second lunar month, the spring breeze and sandstorms swept across the city.

Wang Chengguang arrived at the Xinghuo Media office and just sat down for a few minutes when he heard a knock on the door. When he called out "Come in", he saw Gu Jingjing walking in from outside.

When she came in, she was still wearing a long trench coat. After closing the door, she took off the trench coat and put it on her arm, revealing a white suspender skirt, black stockings and high heels. She walked in with a slight bow and a bright smile, "Boss Wang, do you have anything to tell me?"

"We returned to the capital yesterday. I don't need any rest or adjustment. I can go to a new battlefield at any time. What do you think of my outfit?"

Wang Chengguang couldn't help but lean back tactically, grabbed the teacup and glanced at her before speaking, "Why are you wearing such cool clothes?"

Gu Jingjing has a cold white skin color, which is so white that it seems to glow, and her blood vessels are very obvious. A white complexion can cover up a hundred uglinesses.

Her suspender dress was a bit short, and she would show her underwear if she took big steps.

It is outrageous that a normal person like Wang Chengguang can be transformed into the style of the hero Miao Renfeng.

Gu Jingjing smiled sweetly and explained, "When I was traveling around Chang'an and Luo City, our company's telephone department received quotations from some clothing manufacturers, including stockings and high heels, for me to endorse and promote products. The money they offered was quite a bit."

"I'll come back and try it on. Mr. Wang, if I take those jobs, can you please take photos for me in your free time? The photographers provided by other groups are really..."

Wang Chengguang shook his head, "We'll talk about it later."

"I asked you to come here today because someone from Dazhong will come to further cooperate with us Xinghuo. There is a topic that you also need to participate in..."

"The company will launch its own platform next, which will be tested internally in early April and publicly in mid-April. At that time, we will not only let you go to the platform to call on fans to register, but also attract traffic to Volkswagen."

It took more than ten days to recruit a group of elite programmers from universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Beijing Institute of Technology. After another month, the development of Xinghuo Weibo has come to an end...

Is it fast?

Whether it is Fanfou, DaPenguin Taotao, or the future Zhalang Weibo and Penguin Weibo, they are all benchmarked against North American Twitter, which first appeared in 2006.

With so many precedents, Wang Chengguang also looked at the development path and knew how to be ahead of others in playing Weibo.

He provides the framework and design plan, and it is normal to produce a finished product in one month.

Gu Jingjing suddenly realized and patted her conscience to promise, "I will definitely follow your instructions and do whatever you tell me to do. Then I will go back and change my clothes first."

Wang Chengguang waved his hand, and Gu Jingjing put on her windbreaker again and left.

………………

Half an hour later.

Manager He and his assistant, including Gu Jingjing, who was wearing a suit and trousers, were all sitting in the office reception area.

Wang Chengguang asked his secretary to bring tea and said with a smile, "Manager He, although we haven't signed the contract yet, we still hope to cooperate with Volkswagen at the Beijing Auto Show in April."

"In addition to the normal cooperation process, I also hope to interact with your company and promote each other on the new Internet platform."

Manager He was drinking tea. "What new ideas does Mr. Wang have? A month ago, Ms. Gu and Ms. Yang promoted Hanfu culture and planned to promote tourist attractions such as Chang'an and Luo City."

"It's not that hot, but the popularity is still accumulating. In this case, the 2 to 10 yuan or 50 to 10 million yuan endorsement fees we offered in February are indeed a bit low."

“But the lower limit is low, and the upper limit is not bad.”

The two parties have been in contact and have cooperated many times since then. Not to mention Lao He, the head of Volkswagen's advertising department, even other departments are full of goodwill and goodwill towards Wang Chengguang and Xinghuo.

Only around the Spring Festival, Volkswagen became the hot word of the year, standing out among almost all car companies. In the past few months, the sales brought to Volkswagen... That's money! !

Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "We plan to follow the example of Twitter in North America and try out mobile microblogs. We expect to conduct internal testing in early April and conduct a full public test before the auto show."

"I hope your company will register an account as a corporate enterprise, and Xinghuo Weibo will give you the official Xinghuo certification. With official certification, Xinghuo confirms and guarantees to the outside world that it is the official account of Volkswagen Group."

"When the time comes, you can post a message with the theme of giving Gu Jingjing a new car as a gift to thank her for her contribution to Volkswagen's new image and the recognition of the brand by the people."

"Let Gu Jingjing's official Weibo account interact with you..."

"Volkswagen's mid- to low-end models are not very expensive, but they cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is something most ordinary families have to save up and pay for car loans to buy."

"Your company giving away cars is like helping Jingjing win the lottery!!"

"..."

Manager He is also Chinese and knows what era this is. Most of Volkswagen's sub-brands are much cheaper than BBA and various luxury sports cars, but mobile phones and computers are not as cheap as several thousand yuan.

He applauded during Wang Chengguang's explanation, "What a creative idea! We, the general public, helped Ms. Gu realize a small gift from heaven similar to winning a lottery ticket."

"And the outside world was unaware of it, just like us, the general public, were late to realize it, because Ms. Gu voluntarily brought the goods around the Spring Festival, and was compensated later."

"If this is on a big platform, the topic and the public image may be more attractive and popular among netizens than spending hundreds of millions of RMB on advertising."

"Boss Wang is going to build a platform now? Tsk~"

He also watched the rise of Wang Chengguang and Xinghuo Media. When they first met, they were still talking about 6 RMB for endorsing products.

A few months ago, the public felt a little laughable about spending 60,000 RMB.

But Xinghuo and Wang Chengguang are going to build a platform! !

With too much emotion, Lao He took out his cigarette box and signaled with his eyes. After getting permission, he lit up the cigarette and took a deep breath. "Not to mention too much, with Internet celebrities such as Ms. Gu and Ms. Yang, and Mile's mediocre appeal of a few hundred million."

"There is even more of a misplaced time and space, a desired explosion. The celebrities under your company have worked hard to promote it. A new platform similar to Twitter can attract hundreds of millions of users in a few months. There is a great chance of success."

"You have attracted more than 1500 million new users to Xiaonei.com in the past month, right?"

Wang Chengguang nodded, "Xiaonei.com still hasn't released a version that doesn't require registration and is open to the public. With all these combined efforts, it's been able to attract more than 1500 million users. That's the limit."

From February 2th to now, March 4th, the total number of registered users of Campus Network has reached more than 328 million and has not increased any more. Without any new huge topics or new hot spots, the major reform of Campus Network has not been completed.

This is the limit.

In the later period, high schools are the mainstream.

Both sides have won a lot to this point, and no one has lost money except the Big Penguin who failed to make an easy copy.

Manager He nodded. "The reason why Xiaonei.com has exploded is that it allows countless people and adults to find their old classmates, good friends, first loves, etc. from a few years ago or even more than ten years ago through Xiaonei.com. That's why it has such explosive power."

"But the appeal of your Spark must be at least 2 to 3 million registered users."

"With 3000- million, it's not bad. I heard that Penguin Taotao only has million users, and that's thanks to Penguin's hundreds of millions of users..."

“I’m not a venture capitalist, but I still wish Mr. Wang success and fame soon, and leave your own name in the Chinese Internet industry!”

(ps: Future updates will be temporarily scheduled at 12 o'clock~)
