Chapter 524 Second Life of Stars, Part 1! The Health-Preserving Wine is Causing Trouble!
Chapter 524 Second Generation Star First! Health-Preserving Wine is Stirring Up Trouble!
Time flies, and it's already mid-September.
Over the past two months, the most attention-grabbing events have been those of Ershixingchen Film and Television Network and Kuaishou.
Following the finale of "Go Go Squid!", another family drama, "A Little Reunion", was released not long after, focusing on everyday family life.
Originally, this kind of drama didn't have a large audience, so Tencent Video specifically found an ancient costume fantasy drama to compete with it.
But who would have thought that "A Little Reunion" would become such a huge hit, while Tencent Video's ancient costume fantasy dramas flopped just like "Love and Destiny".
This seems to tell everyone that ancient costume fantasy dramas no longer have a booming market, and this genre has been overdone.
This also signifies that Tencent Penguin Pictures has completely failed to block Ershixingchen Film and Television Network.
First they attacked Tencent, then iQiyi, and then Tencent again. After this relentless battle, they finally won, significantly boosting the daily active users of Ershixingchen Film and Television Network compared to Tencent Film and iQiyi.
Second Star Film Network has become number one in the film and television industry, at least this year.
If Tencent Video struggles to come up with a solution next year, things will get complicated. Once people subconsciously believe that Ershixingchen Films is the best, they will get used to using Ershixingchen Films, and industry insiders will prioritize cooperating with Ershixingchen.
Therefore, the Second Generation Stars are currently gaining momentum in the film and television industry, and several of their female artists are also receiving a constant stream of resources.
Another trend is chopsticks, which are becoming increasingly popular.
Especially after Chen Jincheng joined Kuaishou, even though he only did two live streams, the number of viewers exceeded 300 million.
During this period, Kuaishou also recruited a large number of grassroots internet celebrities, which made Kuaishou's content more diverse, and its daily active users reached 3.9 million.
However, Douyin's daily active users hit a record low of only 290 million, which was boosted by 100 million daily active users.
In the office of the Second Star, Chen Jincheng was not surprised by the data disclosed in the news.
Just like in another world, Douyin has fallen into a deep slump and is in its weakest period.
At this point, if it were Tencent, they would strike while the iron is hot and crush Douyin completely, giving it no chance to recover.
Unfortunately, chopsticks are not like that.
He turned on his computer and saw that there was still an email from Chen Yixiao.
The message was simple: it was time to get things moving.
After all, this was one of the terms of the original contract. He wanted to create some buzz and help Kuaishou make a splash on Douyin, and then prepare for the listing plan.
The email contained the initial draft of Kuaishou's IPO plan.
Mr. Chen Yixiao is obsessed with going public, and he has probably already shifted his focus away from Douyin.
Most of the senior executives at Kuaishou, except for a few who foresaw the crisis and would eventually be fired, were also thinking about Kuaishou going public and becoming wealthy through their stock options.
Chen Jincheng watched coldly, waiting for the peak moment of Chopsticks and to acquire a huge fortune for him.
As for causing trouble, he's about to do it.
Thinking it over, he called Ximeng over and instructed her, "Tell Xiaobai and the others to go back to the dormitory and wait for me. I'll be there soon!"
"In broad daylight? All six of them together?" Ximeng asked instinctively.
"Okay." Chen Jin nodded and left the Second Star Building, then headed to the 37.2℃ Beverage Company.
The company name removed the words "soda wine" and kept the name "37.2℃".
Because the name has now gained fame and recognition.
The reason for removing soda is that the company has launched other alcoholic beverages, such as red wine, grape wine, and beer.
These tasks have naturally been handled by other personnel, and the work has already begun, although the results are not yet significant. However, with the temporary support of soda, we believe there will be considerable progress soon.
These were also proposed by Lin Hesheng (Chapter 457). After joining the liquor company, he did bring about great changes to the company. Otherwise, Wang Yuan alone would not have been able to do these things.
The company's largest market is naturally soda wine. Wang Yuan is currently in charge of the domestic market, while Lin Hesheng is in charge of the overseas market, and the overseas market is expanding very well.
Chen Jincheng's project is naturally a health-preserving wine. After the wine is released, he plans to generate buzz and promote it through Kuaishou (a Chinese e-commerce platform).
I believe that not only will they be able to make a profit, but with the emergence of health-preserving wines and the proven effectiveness, the valuation of liquor companies will also increase significantly.
The beverage company is still located in the Jin Mao Tower, but it's no longer in its original small office space; instead, it has rented three entire floors in the Jin Mao Tower.
Chen Jincheng went straight to Wang Yuan's office.
Upon seeing him arrive, Wang Yuan stepped forward and said, "Boss, it's all taken care of. Nobody in the company knows except me."
"Let's go!" Chen Jincheng nodded, and then he and Wang Yuan left the liquor company and went to a small winery in the suburbs, where they arrived at the sealed wine cellar.
This small winery was specially purchased by Wang Yuan at his request to experiment with health-preserving wines. Wang Yuan bought all the machines and materials, and he conducted the experiments himself. No outsiders were involved in the brewing process.
Moreover, Ah Pao usually arranged for a team of people to keep an eye on things here.
After he and Wang Yuan entered the winery, the group closed the door and wouldn't let outsiders in.
"Boss, what kind of wine are you brewing? It's so mysterious!" Wang Yuan couldn't help but ask.
Chen Jincheng walked up to a container, smelled the fermented wine inside, and then poured out two bottles. He gave one bottle to Wang Yuan and kept the other for himself.
He also said, "I'll go back and experiment with this wine right away, and it would be best if I had a woman with me."
Wang Yuan was taken aback, but immediately understood the effects of the wine.
So, after leaving the distillery and parting ways with the boss, he went to a residential area, made a phone call, and soon met a pretty college girl there. His wife had died young, and he had needs too. Before, he didn't have much money and could only afford to play around with girls in bars. Now, with a higher salary and more money, he'd found a college beauty—wasn't that better than the girls in bars?
He took his girlfriend, who was more than 20 years younger than him, upstairs and then drank quite a bit of that bottle of wine.
Afterwards, he clearly felt that he was in better condition than before.
Chen Jincheng was troubled. He knew that alcohol had two properties: 1. Drinking a little every day could strengthen the body; 2. Drinking a little every day could benefit the kidneys and replenish essence. However, his physique was too strong, and even in a 1 vs 6 fight, he couldn't feel any effect.
So, after the battle ended, he left the villa and called Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan's surprised voice came through: "Boss, this wine is amazing! Although it's my first time drinking it, I can feel that I'm in much better shape than before."
"This wine needs to be consumed over a long period of time to have a significant effect," Chen Jincheng explained, then added, "Take this wine for testing, get all the necessary paperwork done, and contact the city to ask them to expedite the process."
Normally, without a lengthy testing process, you won't get results.
Even if the results are in, it takes 10 days for the director to sign, and another 10 days for a different leader. It's going to drag on forever.
So, after Wang Yuan sent the wine for testing, Chen Jincheng called Mr. Wu, who was in charge of the economy of Linhai City (Chapter 370). Although calling him for such a small matter was a bit of an overreaction, there was no other way, as he didn't know anyone else.
Wu Teng was naturally very surprised to receive a call from Chen Jincheng, and answered with a smile: "Mr. Chen, what brings you here to call me today?"
As the person in charge of the economy, he was very satisfied with this person and knew how much help the other party had given him. It could be said that most of his achievements this year were due to this person.
Chen Jincheng said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, the main thing is that I'm launching a new wine. It needs to be submitted for testing and go through the relevant procedures. I hope you can help expedite it. Don't worry, there's definitely no problem with this wine. After all, it will be the second main wine of the liquor company, and its sales will definitely be better than soda wine."
Upon hearing this, Wu Teng immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, leave this to me. Let's have dinner together sometime."
“Okay, Mr. Wu,” Chen Jincheng replied with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Teng immediately helped Chen Jincheng deal with the matter.
He would definitely be happy to help with something like this.
The reason is simple: Chen Jincheng's liquor company is launching a new type of liquor, which requires opening a new production line, hiring workers, and creating jobs. If the liquor sells well, then there will be more people to hire.
If, as Chen Jincheng said, sales will exceed those of soda, then the demand for workers will be staggering, and the economic impact will be enormous.
He was even more excited about the wine's launch than Chen Jincheng.
Moreover, both Ershi Xingchen and the liquor company are now top-tier businesses in Linhai City, so naturally, they will receive priority service in certain matters.
This is still a beverage company. If it were Ershixingchen Company, it wouldn't just offer limited service, but would proactively provide service.
The main reason is that the Second Star Company has brought too much fame to Linhai City. Every time Chen Jincheng causes trouble, it brings a wave of exposure to Linhai City.
The main reason is the video e-commerce industry chain, which has provided a template for other internet celebrities in Linhai City and stimulated their growth. Like Taobao and JD.com, Linhai City has also benefited from the internet dividend.
The internet dividend is now the best way to increase GDP.
Those are all achievements.
Linhai City is now trying to promote Chen Jincheng.
With Wu Teng's call, the relevant departments naturally took immediate action. The testing and procedures were completed very quickly, and within three days, the relevant department head delivered the complete results and paperwork to Chen Jincheng.
That's a privilege.
However, sometimes this privilege is also for the purpose of creating more value and economic benefits for society.
After Chen Jincheng received the items, he immediately had Wang Yuan convene a meeting to gather all the shareholders of the liquor company.
After all, he had to sell the wine recipe to the company first before launching it.
The shareholders were a bit confused when they received the notice. Why would Ershixingchen suddenly want to acquire the beverage formula?
The key question is whether the price of 50 billion is a joke?
I recommend the new book, "I Manifested the Shushan Game".
Summary:
This book is also known as: "I Cultivate Immortality Openly and Honestly in Douyin", "Using Magic Under the Guise of Special Effects", and "Anyway, There's AI, So I Fly Without Any Disguise".
……
Chen Han obtained a game system that was supposed to take him through the game world of "Shushan Swordsmen," but the journey failed, so the game system became somewhat strange.
The dog demon has arrived, unleashing a powerful demonic aura. Please drive it away immediately!
Chen Han stared blankly at the little stray dog in the corner, one leg raised, urinating. It was just that stray dog from the village.
The clan elders have appeared and are arrayed to protect you. Please drive away the dog demon as soon as possible!
Chen Han glanced again at the little old lady who was watching the standoff between the man and the dog with amusement; she was his aunt.
...
Years later, Chen Han successfully flew on his sword, soaring into the sky, and even uploaded a video to Douyin.
Netizens:
"Wow, the blogger's special effects are getting more and more realistic."
"This is clearly AI, and this AI is really amazing now."
Satellites from various countries detected an unidentified energy object moving rapidly at the same time!
