Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!

"Have you been thinking about this before?" Zhang Xuhao asked.

Wang chuckled disdainfully, "I've been so busy lately, where would I have the time to think about this for you? I just thought of it suddenly and casually mentioned it to you."

Zhang Xuhao: "..."

He really didn't believe this could be a sudden thought.

Because Cheng Zhu had thought it through so thoroughly.

"Ha, quite the proud one! Definitely thought it over for a long time but won't admit it!" This chubby guy thought to himself.

After chatting a bit more, Zhang Xuhao said, "We've internally calculated, and Meituan can probably hold on for at most another ten days to half a month before they're out of money!"

"Seems like Wang Xin is really going to have insomnia lately." Cheng Zhu laughed.

He guessed correctly; Wang next door now sleeps only three to four hours a day.

Wake up, and the worries begin again.

He really is a hero who doesn't lack the courage to take a gamble.

But after a gamble, it's also possible to find oneself in a difficult situation.

Wang Xin was dancing on the knife's edge before.

Now it seems, he might indeed end up in trouble.

Unfortunately, Bao Fan can't directly help with this.

After all, he wants to be in charge of Meituan and Dianping's merger.

If Huaxing Capital invests in Meituan, then we'd have to wonder if your allegiances are tilted towards Meituan!

Cheng Zhu asked, "Has Bao Fan not arranged a meeting with Brother Tao lately?"

"Of course, he has!" Zhang Xuhao said.

Then, he burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" Cheng Zhu was puzzled.

"Do you know how Brother Tao rejected it? Hahahaha!" This chubby guy couldn't stop laughing.

Cheng Zhu didn't know the answer, but hearing his laughter somehow made him want to laugh too.

"Hahaha, Brother Tao said he caught a contagious disease! Hahaha!"

"What a nut! Hahaha!" Cheng Zhu laughed too after hearing this.

He didn't expect Zhang Tao to have such a side; it really was quite amusing.

"Isn't it just crazy?" Ah Hao added humorously.

Like this, they journeyed with laughter all around.

"Oh, by the way, regarding Meituan's impending financial collapse, I think we can find some people to spread the word directly." Cheng Zhu suggested.

"Alright, you're still the sly one!"

Zhang Xuhao didn't forget to consult his think tank, "And after the news spreads, what do you think Meituan will do?"

"Oh, they'll go sue the person spreading the news."

Zhang Xuhao: "..."

For goodness sake, you can't just have anyone spread the news.

After chatting for another five minutes, they ended the call.

Cheng Zhu arrived at the company feeling quite good.

Amidst the greetings of "Good morning, Mr. Cheng," he entered his office.

He hadn't sat down for long when someone knocked and came in to have him sign a few documents.

After being busy for a while, Cheng Zhu put his feet up on the desk, leaned back in his executive chair, and started thinking about the preliminary traffic distribution after the short video goes live.

"Given my role as [Emperor of Desire], there will definitely be no shortage of borderline content creators."

"This will indeed create a huge traffic pool."

"But it can't be regarded as the foundation of the platform."

In this respect, Weibo turned out to be a cautionary tale later.

Sometimes, opening up Weibo feels like looking at a chicken farm.

On one hand, this platform likes to promote gender opposition, women's awakening, and the new era's independent women.

But when you open [Hot Topics] and [Nearby], damn it, it's like being locked in a chicken coop, ridiculously absurd.

The homepages, when clicked on, all have bios saying [Threshold + V].

Cheng Zhu has always known that short video platforms need to be diverse.

Moreover, every age group should have content that is suitable and enjoyable to watch.

TikTok does this very well, so much so that many elderly people can't put it down and spend all day scrolling non-stop.

Even top-tier influencers emerge in the elderly community, conducting PK battles that drain countless retirees' pension funds...

"In my impression, TikTok initially had many technical videos."

"The traffic weight of these videos should actually be given a little higher."

Cheng Zhu himself loves watching these types of videos.

As for celebrities joining, that's certainly not a concern during the early stages.

In fact, nowadays many celebrities are quite pretentious. Inviting them to join the short video platform requires offering money.

Not like later, when they would join for free and desperately crave the platform's traffic.

If they have a new drama or movie coming out, they eagerly expect the platform's support.

"If I remember correctly, the first celebrity to join TikTok seemed to be... Little Yellow Duck?"

"Apparently was paid to join?" Cheng Zhu recalled.

Just as his mind was wandering, the office door was knocked on.

Zhang Sixing hurriedly entered, knocking first and then pushing the door open without waiting for a response, clearly having urgent matters.

"What's up?" Cheng Zhu quickly pulled his feet off the desk and sat upright to ask.

"We've got trouble." Zhang Sixing frowned.

"Tell me."

"Our app review didn't already pass?"

"Yes, it did."

"But we got news today; they want us to go through the review process again!"

"What!?" Cheng Zhu was taken aback.
