rebirth against the times

Bai Shuo and Anna returned to the hotel, quickly packed up, and continued their "journey" that afternoon.

"Who do you think Andre is?" Bai Shuo chatted with Anna about what happened in the past two days while driving.

"He should be a big boss in the Russian state. Most of their transactions are related to arms. I also had some information about this when I was in the Korean intelligence department."

Bai Shuo: "So is there any information about this Andre?"

Anna: "My position is not high, and many things are beyond my reach."

At this time, while passing by an empty road, a parked off-road vehicle appeared on the side of the road. There seemed to be some trouble with the vehicle. Someone opened the hood and was inspecting it. At the rear of the vehicle, a man with his hands on his hips looked helpless.

The big bald head is particularly eye-catching.

"Hey, you really can't talk about others behind their backs, isn't that Andre?" Bai Shuo found the bald man and said to Anna.

"Huh? What's going on? Their car seems to have broken down. Should we go and help?" With that said, Bai Shuo drove over.

"Don't stop the car and don't get into any more entanglements with them." Anna reminded quickly.

But it was too late, Bai Shuo had already parked the car towards the side of the road. Anna glared at Bai Shuan angrily, and Bai Shuo stuck out his tongue and said comfortingly: "I don't think they have any ill intentions."

"Hey, hey, can you help us?" Andre saw a car coming and immediately shouted to the oncoming car.

Seeing Bai Shuo get out of the car, he immediately showed an excited expression: "Hi! Bai Shuo, what a coincidence, we meet again." After saying that, he opened his arms and gave Bai Shuo another big bear hug.

, which made Bai Shuo almost lose his breath.

Andre turned around and saw Anna again, and even more excitedly opened his arms and embraced her again: "Oh! My God, Miss Anna, I'm so happy to see you again..."

Anna leaned up against the car, raised one leg, kicked towards Andre, and stopped about one centimeter away from Andre's chest.

Andre also stopped suddenly and raised his hands to indicate that he would not make any further movements. Then he shrugged at Bai Shuo and smiled awkwardly: "It seems that Miss Anna can't accept my enthusiasm yet."

Bai Shuo: "Okay, Andre, what happened to you?"

Andre looked back at the off-road vehicle and then said eagerly: "Oh, Bai Shuo is so lucky to meet you. Our car broke down, but I have to rush to attend a very important business negotiation.

can you help me?"

Bai Shuo was stunned for a moment, and secretly said with amusement, "Business negotiation? Are you sure your kind of transaction can also be called business..."

"No problem. Anyway, we don't have a fixed destination for the time being, so I'll see you off first. But... I can't fit the four of you in this car." Bai Shuo thought for a while and said awkwardly.

Andre: "Oh, great. Don't worry, Hagula will stay in charge of repairing the car. You just need to take the three of us with you."

Bai Shuo's Mercedes-Benz sports car was not big to begin with, and the back row was also very compact. The three big guys Andre squeezed into it and looked very happy. Bai Shuo started the car, turned around and looked at the people in the back row holding back a smile.

Duorou asked: "Where is the destination?"

Andre: "I'm going to the Face-Swiping Internet Company to discuss cooperation. Thank you very much."

Bai Shuo was stunned. "Face-Swiping Internet" will be the world's top image and text sharing and social Internet technology company in the future. Andre just said that he was going to have business negotiations. Is he going to cooperate with "Face-Swiping Internet"?

Andre: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Bai Shuo: "Oh, there's no problem. I'm just thinking about how to walk faster."

Along the way, Bai Shuo and Andre were chatting, and they were very confused about the fact that Andre was going to "Swipe Face Internet" to discuss business.

Seeing Bai Shuo's confusion, Andre burst out laughing again, and actually told Bai Shuo straightforwardly that it was good that he was doing some shady business, but he was also doing a lot of legitimate business. It turned out that Andre

There is a large-scale investment company in Russia. Not only is it friends with Russian finance, oil giants and others, but it is also very powerful in the political circles. This time Andre took advantage of the financial crisis to bring a large amount of funds with him.

They came to the United States intending to take advantage of the low price to absorb some high-quality assets. Among the four of them, except Andre who is the absolute boss, the man with glasses is named Raul, who is the right-hand man of Andre Investment Company, and the other two are Andre.

The bodyguard is also a very close brother. The man who left behind to repair the car is called Hagulla, and the man in the car is called Paul. Today they are going to discuss investment cooperation with Mr. Zha, the founder of the "Face-Swiping Internet" company.

.

Bai Shuo didn't expect that Andre still had such great strength in the economic field. Not only was he a little surprised, but his understanding of Andre had also changed. Of course, based on the previous events, Bai Shuo estimated that Andre was in the gray field.

The strength won't be that small either.

After being reminded by Andre, Bai Shuo now also has a strong interest in investing in "Face-Swiping Internet". However, Bai Shuo is very curious about Andre's optimism about "Face-Swiping Internet" and doesn't know how Andre has such talent.

With a precise vision, Bai Shuo and Andre discussed the future development of the Internet, media, and social software while intentionally or unintentionally trying to get the information he wanted.

Bai Shuo soon discovered that Andre did not have many good insights into this field, but he firmly believed that this field would grow rapidly in the future. It must be said that Andre was a visionary.

Investors.

After arriving at their destination, Andre and the other three climbed out of the car with great difficulty. Bai Shuo was about to leave, but Andre suddenly stopped Bai Shuo and asked, "You tricked me so many times along the way.

Aren’t you going to go and see it with me?”

Bai Shuo's eyes narrowed. It was obvious that his little thoughts along the way could not be hidden from the cunning Andre, but Bai Shuo immediately and frankly admitted that he was indeed somewhat interested in "face-swiping Internet".

Andre laughed loudly, and then said to Bai Shuo: "I like your honesty. Since you helped me, I am also happy to share with you what you are interested in."

Bai Shuo looked at Andre in confusion: "You are so optimistic about this project, aren't you afraid that if you take me with you, I will also be interested in you?"

Andre: "If you like me, I don't mind giving you part of it. My principle is that except for women, I am willing to share everything with my brothers. Of course, the premise is that you also treat me as a brother."

Bai Shuo smiled slightly and said, "You treat me as a brother so quickly? We only met two days ago."

Andre: "Making friends has nothing to do with time." He pointed to the name of the face-scanning Internet company behind him and continued: "This is an era where faces are important. I think you think it's enough to meet each other."

Bai Shuo was happy: "Haha, it's a good time to look at your face. I have made you a friend. Your face is quite attractive, except that you are a bit older."

…

Face-swiping Internet company Bai Shuo also visited California when he last came to California, but that visit was purely for study and did not meet the founder of the company. When he met the founder Mr. Zha directly this time, Bai Shuo was still very excited.

Feelings. Because the founder of Xiaozha is younger than Bai Shuo, he looks pretty, with pink face and red lips, a well-proportioned figure, and elegant manners, giving people the feeling of a pretty boy. No wonder the company is named "Brushing Face"

"Internet", this is enough confidence.

When he learned that Bai Shuo was Andre's partner and that he was Chinese, Xiao Zha was very happy to introduce that his girlfriend was also of Chinese descent, and praised that Chinese girls were all pretty.

With a good start, the negotiation between the two parties became very harmonious. Xiao Zha introduced the concept, functions, future plans, etc. of the "Face-Swiping Internet" platform to Andre and Bai Shuo in detail. "Face-Swiping Internet"

At present, the number of users continues to increase and has exceeded 100 million, and the number of page views has reached 50 billion, surpassing the largest competitor. The main social functions of the platform include three module program walls (user personal information wall, which allows mutual visits, messages, etc.).

Poke program (poke the other party, a way of private communication and dialogue), and gift exchange (enhance interaction between users).

Not long ago, Brushian Internet just launched a classified advertising plan and invented mobile information flow advertising, which can be promoted through videos, post promotions, applications that users are interested in, etc. This project will become an important increase in the company's future profits.

point.

"A large amount of advertising can certainly increase revenue and profits, but it may also affect user experience. Do you have any good ideas in this regard?" Andre grasped this issue keenly.

Xiao Zha smiled awkwardly, and his language was no longer as fluent as before: "Of course, we will still try our best to consider customer experience issues when placing advertisements. But as a company, it is impossible to have full motivation without reasonable profits.

and strength to create a better customer experience environment, the two actually complement each other."

Andre frowned: "What you said, Mr. Zha, makes sense, but I'm more concerned about the specific measures."

Andre was obsessed with this question, but Xiao Zha seemed not very well prepared for this aspect and seemed a little embarrassed.

"This guy is too young. I have no confidence in this company." Andre whispered in Bai Shuo's ear quietly.

Seeing that Mr. Zha was forced to retreat, Bai Shuo suddenly remembered some of the more mature experiences he had learned in later generations, so he said: "I think a site with no ads at all may not necessarily be liked by customers.

, On the contrary, if the advertisement is placed cleverly and appropriately, it may attract users' attention. After all, users also have information needs for advertisements."

Bai Shuo's words immediately aroused everyone's interest, and he continued: "As for the issue of preventing advertisements from affecting user experience, I think we can pay attention to users' feedback on advertisements for a long time, and use the user interaction value of the advertisement itself as an important criterion to participate in bidding and motivate

Advertising merchants should consider user experience more when creating advertisements. In addition, they can also simplify the advertising delivery mechanism and improve the efficiency of the advertising system. Third, we can use the collected information to create some 'algorithms' that are targeted according to user preferences and habits.

Place ads…”

Speaking of this, Bai Shuo suddenly felt that there were some deeper things that shouldn't be revealed like this. After all, for this field, Bai Shuo wanted more than just investing and getting a share of the pie.

Although what Bai Shuo confided was only the tip of the iceberg, the content was enough to excite Xiao Zha, because what Bai Shuo said was exactly what he had been thinking about for a long time and was still a little bit behind. Now that Bai Shuo was so

As soon as he said it, he felt that the whole idea suddenly became clear. And Andre also looked at Bai Shuo in a different light and agreed very much with Bai Shuo's ideas.

In the following time, everyone had an in-depth discussion on the future development direction and strategic cooperation of Face-Swiping Internet. Bai Shuo inadvertently threw out a few ideas, thinking that in the future, we can build on the existing foundation of Face-Swiping Internet.

On the topic, the development of projects such as video sharing, electronic currency and even the Internet of Things, although it was very simple, Bai Shuo did not share many in-depth things, but it also shocked everyone again.

However, while introducing the "face-swiping Internet", Mr. Xiao Zha also intentionally or unintentionally tested Andre's strength and bottom line. From Andre's words, Bai Shuo roughly understood that Andre had a lot of reasons for his trip.

Of course, with an investment plan of 1 billion yuan, eggs cannot be placed in one basket, and the "face-swiping Internet" project is not the focus of Andre's trip. Compared with this new type of industry, Andre although

He is optimistic, but he is not willing to invest too much. He focuses more on traditional energy-based industries that are easier to grasp, such as oil.

Bai Shuo understands it very well. After all, Andre is already in his 40s and has made his fortune in traditional fields. He is more willing to believe in things that he can control. This is his own limitation and the key to his steady development.

"Do you think this guy can really do it?" Andre confirmed to Bai Shuo in a low voice again.

Bai Shuo smiled, looked at Andre sincerely and said, "I think it's okay. You can invest with confidence. Maybe this will be one of your most successful investments."

"For such a grand plan for the future, I wonder what kind of help you need in terms of resources, Mr. Zha?" Seeing Bai Shuo's affirmation, Andre finally brought the topic to investment cooperation.

Bai Shuo knew that what everyone wanted to discuss next was specific cooperation matters. At this time, the purpose of the entire negotiation was also the core and key. "Since you are going to talk about business, please allow me to take a look around." Bai Shuo was very sensible.

I found a reason to leave.

"Oh, Mr. Bai, I don't think you need to deliberately avoid it. Your opinions just now are very pertinent. I believe you will have some better suggestions for our cooperation." Mr. Zha unexpectedly stopped Bai Shuo.

"Yes, Brother Bai, just stay and help me with my advice. I won't treat you as an outsider." Andre also said afterward.

Bai Shuo hesitated for a moment, then sat down again: "Then I will just sit in and watch, and also be a witness to this cooperation, haha."

Soon, Andre and Mr. Xiao Zha discussed the preliminary intention. The entire cooperation framework was relatively fair and reasonable. Of course, there were many cooperation details, which required repeated consultations between the two teams before they could reach the final conclusion.

cooperation agreement. Just when Bai Shuo thought that today's negotiation was about to end, Andre suddenly made a new proposal, which surprised Bai Shuo...?
