Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!

After breakfast, Cheng Zhu headed to the company.

So, he sent the two women back to Xiyuan Apartment.

They were a bit reluctant, but Cheng Zhu sent them off cleanly and decisively.

After the green tea senior sister returned home, she realized: "I haven't even talked with Cheng Zhu about our future... relationship."

In what capacity and identity should they interact?

Yiyi's arrival threw off the entire rhythm.

Little did she know that she thought the rhythm was off, but in Cheng Zhu's eyes, it was actually—this was stable.

The entire rhythm was under his control all along.

As they say, green tea needs to be tamed.

With a mid-level green tea like Zhang Qiqi, it was simply too easy for Cheng Zhu to handle her.

He wasn't afraid that this senior sister could cause any trouble.

On the contrary, he personally quite enjoyed the process of taming green tea.

After the two women got out of the car, Cheng Zhu made a call to Zhu Youwei.

"Hey, Mr. Zhu, what are you busy with?" He made some small talk first.

"What else can I be busy with, just messing around." Zhu Youwei replied with a laugh.

He knew that Cheng Zhu was not what he used to be, a hotshot in front of capital, a leading figure among the young entrepreneurs, busy as hell every day, so if he called, it must be about something.

"My short video platform is in beta testing recently, can you lend me a few influencers? I want to shoot some videos, try out different styles and types."

"Sure, no problem, it's a small matter." Zhu Youwei agreed immediately.

For him, this was actually a good thing.

He planned to heavily invest in Cheng Zhu, wanting to see if his short video platform could make a splash.

Zhu Youwei hadn't expected it to explode like Weibo, but as long as it's not worse than Paipai, it would be on a par with Daddy, boosting the commercial value of his company's influencers to another level.

It wouldn't be a bad thing for his influencers to get familiar with the platform early.

It's just that before the platform becomes popular, Cheng Zhu's demand for him is definitely greater.

It's like how premium merchants like Youu Tea were darlings of platforms before any food delivery service dominated the market.

Ancient Mountain Culture, as the largest influencer company in Hang City, was a force to be reckoned with.

Therefore, Cheng Zhu was also willing to give him some benefits.

"How about this, when the short video platform goes live, we'll give the first video to your company's people to shoot. I'll also skew the traffic internally in your favor." Cheng Zhu said.

Zhu Youwei was a sharp one, and he immediately said: "I can't wait! I think Zhang Qiqi would be a great choice, I personally highly recommend her to you. She has a great camera presence and potential to become a top influencer. The recent traffic conversion results have been good."

"Sure, you decide, I have no objections." Cheng Zhu replied with a laugh, his tone quite cheerful.

As the saying goes: give a big stick and then offer a date.

Cheng Zhu had already done the first part yesterday, today he intended to let them taste some sweetness.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Youwei started picking and selecting in the company group, choosing 6 influencers, 4 women and 2 men, and informed them to go to Cheng Zhu's short video company the next day to assist with the beta testing.

Zhang Qiqi was naturally one of them.

After announcing this in the group, he privately messaged this influencer campus beauty.

"Qiqi, Mr. Cheng and I talked, and he said he's willing to let our company shoot the first video on the short video platform. We've all agreed to give you this opportunity." Zhu Youwei sent a WeChat message.

Upon seeing it, Zhang Qiqi was instantly overjoyed, with a slight sense of sweetness in her heart.

She could feel Cheng Zhu's current partiality towards her.

She had already started dreaming of becoming the queen of the platform.

In fact, Cheng Zhu indeed didn't mind promoting her.

After all, it's destined to promote a few phenomenal top influencers, so who cares which ones get promoted?

However, this is both an honor and status, but also... a cage under my control!

...

...

Twenty minutes later, Cheng Zhu arrived at the short video company.

The short video, milk tea, and QQ product companies were not set up together.

Although it could be a bit inconvenient at times, it was safer this way.

After finishing a meeting in the conference room, Cheng Zhu called Zhang Sixing to his office.

The short video platform was scheduled to go live in half a month, and they were already doing the final deployment.

In fact, this time frame had been postponed several times already.

Originally, it was supposed to go live in July, but some issues were found internally, so it got delayed again.

In his impression, TikTok was launched in September 2016 in his previous life.

But, it wasn't until March 2017 that TikTok's downloads on Apple and Android surpassed 10,000...

Clearly, the Headline group was not in a hurry at first, wanting to slowly learn from mistakes and build steadily.

Sure enough, as time moved forward another year, TikTok directly shot up to a market penetration rate of 16%!

Among the crowd of veteran short video platforms, they broke through the siege and stood out.

Cheng Zhu also understood that haste makes waste.

In the past life, after TikTok's official release, they were willing to endure a six-month dormant period before continuously adding weight on the operational level and starting to spend money.

Cheng Zhu had big ambitions, so he wouldn't be in too much of a hurry either.

Moreover, there was still plenty of time.

"Because the market conditions have not fully formed yet."

"For example, the penetration rate of smartphones."

"The speed of the internet."

"The high cost of data."

The real battle is still early.

In the office, after discussing business with Zhang Sixing, he gave him a word of advice.
