Xiao Huang became an overnight sensation, and his Huangshi Media also experienced a revival.
After a brief discussion with the company's operations team, Mr. Huang actually opened an account to film short skits recounting his unfortunate entrepreneurial journey, and successfully gained a lot of attention.
Meanwhile, Huangshi Media, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, finally started to make a profit.
Wow, thinking about it, it's not easy at all.
Although the price is airing dirty laundry in public, capitalists have no sense of shame.
This sudden surge in popularity also caused Mr. Huang's own company's stock to rise. So after learning about the situation, Mr. Huang was not angry. Instead, he had his company post a few updates at just the right time to take advantage of the hype and attract everyone's attention, turning this popularity into a brand effect for the company.
As a result, he admired Xiao He even more.
When people burn incense and make wishes at temples, they still need to fulfill their vows the following year. The same principle applies to him seeking to repay a favor from Xiao He.
"I heard you have a film production project that's about to officially launch. I wonder if I would have the honor of participating?"
When General Manager Huang said those words, Xiao He's eyes lit up instantly.
"That's certainly possible. I'll have someone send you the documents right now."
Great, that's wonderful!
The filming of "Time and Space Standoff" was already struggling financially, and he felt a pang of heartache every day as he watched money slip away. Now that a major investor was finally willing to take on part of the funding, that was naturally a great thing.
Xiao He is now truly envious of that young CEO Huang.
Good job, sponsor! Great job, sponsor!
"Haha, no problem, I'll have my people come to Shanghai tomorrow to connect with you."
Mr. Huang laughed heartily on the other end of the phone, his words sounding less like those of a powerful figure in the investment world and more like those of a kind and approachable elder.
But no one would really take this elder for a fool.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao He's smiling expression faded slightly and turned serious.
This is a huge investment.
Since Mr. Huang said he wanted to invest, they had to show enough sincerity.
Without any hesitation, he dialed Lin Cheng's number: "Call the relevant person in charge of 'Time-Space Standoff' over for a meeting now."
Xiao He then called He Jinnian, who was on set planning props for the film.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Xiao He, who was already familiar with He Jinnian's "liver-obsessed" nature, then called He Jinnian's newly hired assistant.
The call went through very quickly this time.
"Now we need Director He to suspend his current work and go back to Shanghai. A major investor is coming."
"Okay, okay."
After contacting He Jinnian, Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief and then called Liu Rulan: "Sister Liu, come over here. President Huang's people are flying over from Beijing tomorrow."
"Mr. Huang? Okay."
With just one sentence, Liu Rulan understood the situation and immediately agreed.
Soon, the entire Linghui network sped up, preparing new cooperation plans and strategies for the upcoming major investors.
...
Early July.
Some people are busy with company projects, while others are starting to spend their days leisurely.
In an office area, Zhou Junhao stretched lazily as usual.
"Hey, where have you been hiding lately?"
The senior colleague next door put down his documents and looked at the sleepy-eyed person with a smile.
"Well, I didn't go anywhere. It's just that there hasn't been any news lately, so I've been a bit listless."
Zhou Junhao sighed deeply, resting his chin on his hand and leaning against his desk.
After recovering from his injuries, Zhou Junhao returned to his post and resumed his work.
However, things have been unusually calm lately. Since Zhou Junhao was almost killed while infiltrating the hideout, his sister and brother-in-law have given him a serious reprimand and made it clear that they will no longer reveal any inside information to him.
So Zhou Junhao is now completely in the dark, not knowing where the higher-ups are focusing their surveillance, where any suspicious cases have occurred, or whether there are any newsworthy stories worth digging into.
Zhou Junhao, who hasn't found any new breaking news, can only follow the same routine as his colleagues: picking up other people's news, rewriting it into his own news, and publishing it.
To be frank, this thing is pretty much the same as a marketing account!
Some news stories were obviously fake, but when Zhou Junhao investigated further, he found that the original stories didn't exist at all. The news stories were excerpts from an early blog post, and there was no factual basis for them. Ironically, the more sensational these stories were, the more the audience liked to watch them, and even believed them without a doubt.
For example, a colleague in the next group spread a fake news story online, which sparked a lot of discussion and generated a lot of buzz. So even though other bloggers later debunked the news as fake, the group leader there didn't scold him; he just deleted the relevant news.
The data and traffic generated by this news story were still counted and included in that colleague's performance.
That's what you call unacceptable.
But there's nothing we can do if we don't accept it.
This is what the era of internet traffic looks like.
Whoever does the best job is the boss.
Although the news that Zhou Junhao had exposed was enough to make him a celebrity in the group, the follow-up of those news stories could also allow him to successfully achieve his performance targets in the next six months.
But... Zhou Junhao is really bored!
He felt that his life was meaningless.
He still prefers to pursue a more exciting and meaningful life.
But where can we find it now?
Now my brother-in-law isn't helping me; he's always running around to Beijing for meetings. Lately, things have been calm across China, and nothing shocking has happened.
He genuinely didn't know where to begin.
Just as Zhou Junhao was sighing deeply, an older senior colleague suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"There's an attendance spot, are you going?"
Zhou Junhao sat up straight instantly: "What news?"
“Recently, there have been people stealing electric bicycles around here. Several girls downstairs have had their bikes stolen. The higher-ups told us to follow up on this, and maybe it can be made into a news story.”
Zhou Junhao immediately lost interest: "That's it?"
Sigh, the last news was just too big and explosive, which raised his threshold. Now, when he hears such boring news, he even feels a little disgusted.
"What? Don't look down on those who steal electric ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ bikes. From what I've observed, there's definitely a small gang in our area lately. Look how many electric bikes have been stolen."
The senior colleague pulled Zhou Junhao aside and began a long analysis: "Last week, the receptionist on the second floor had her new pink electric scooter stolen. We even wondered if some pervert had secretly taken it because he thought it was cute..."
"I never expected this! The next day, the deaf guy upstairs, the one you mentioned who never helps press the elevator button when it closes, had his ten-year-old, battle-worn battery stolen!"
"And that intern from the group next to ours..."
Zhou Junhao wasn't initially interested, but after hearing a few more of this gossip, he became a little curious.
"Really?" Zhou Junhao rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful. "If the quantity is accurate, then it's really outrageous that they stole so much."
If it were just one car, that would be fine, but now there are so many!
That's interesting.
Keep in mind that this area is considered the city center, with surveillance cameras everywhere. The police should have been watching this large-scale theft case long ago.
I reckon... it shouldn't be long before the case is solved.
Even a mosquito bite is still meat; he should adjust his mindset now.
After all, many past cases were small cases that revealed big problems.
He needs to pull himself together!
Zhou Junhao immediately stood up: "Then I'll go take a look!"
