Let you invest, and you can support half of the entertainment industry?

"Mr. Xu, I think Mr. Zhang, who just mentioned me, wants to keep you here to continue negotiations. Why don't you accept it?" Zeng Jia asked.

Xu Jia turned to look at Zeng Jia and said: "They are so disrespectful to us, why should we cooperate with them? It's not like we can't contact Internet giants such as Penguin and Alibaba, and we have cooperation experience."

"From what I know about you, the bigger the company, the less likely you are to cooperate with others." Zeng Jia affirmed.

After three years of contact, she became more and more familiar with Xu Jia's behavior, and she felt something was wrong before leaving.

How to put it, in her opinion, Xu Jia is a master who is unfazed by favors and humiliations.

The taunting intensity of ByteDance people is not even scratching the itch. How could they possibly make their boss lose his mind?

"That's true. The bigger the company, the smaller the benefits we get, especially Penguin and Alibaba. Their people seem to be very polite and friendly to you, but in fact they are contemptuous from the bottom of their hearts. "

It’s not like Xu Jia has never had contact with people from these Internet giants. Generally speaking, he is a typical egoist. “When working with them, you must not only pay attention to not having your own interests misappropriated, but also paying attention not to be misappropriated. There are so many of them. They are willing to do things that harm others and benefit themselves, after all, their body size can hold them, but our small bodies cannot."

This is a tactic often used by large companies to deal with small companies, which is to use their own size to bleed both sides, and the one who survives in the end is the winner.

It’s like a taxi-hailing software war or a food-delivery software war.

It seems that merchants and consumers are making a lot of money, but think about it, how can these platforms do business at a loss?

They burned investors' funds and poured hundreds of millions into it.

Only the last winner standing in the market, owning the whole market, will show their fangs.

From losing money on both sides to making money on both sides, the change is so fast.

In the end, consumers, merchants, including food delivery riders and online ride-hailing drivers all become targets of exploitation. There is only one winner, and that is the platform.

But when that time comes, if you look around you again, you will find that you have unknowingly fallen into a large network woven by capital.

There was nowhere to escape and no other options.

"So, you still prefer to cooperate with ByteDance, right? Then why don't you leave some room for both parties?" Zeng Jia asked doubtfully.

If I didn't know Xu Jia well enough, and it was someone who wasn't familiar with him, they might have broken up.

"The opportunity has not come yet. Cooperating with Byte at this time will only cause disadvantages but no advantages."

Xu Jia shook his head and explained: "The reason why I made an appointment with Zhang Yiyi is to see the other party's attitude. With their current attitude, if we cooperate with them, we will only be regarded as a beggar."

"But what I want is that they ask us to take the initiative. After all, the core algorithm is with them. If we can't even take the initiative in the early stage, we will only be abandoned later."

He didn't plan to tell Zeng Jia and others this, but everyone would understand it later.

But since Zeng Jia asked, he didn't hide it.

If you can learn something from it, it will be a worthwhile trip.

"Begging for help from us? This is... unlikely."

Despite what Xu Jia said, Zeng Jia did not feel that she was inferior to Byte people.

But in my heart I still look up to this kind of Internet company.

People in the entertainment industry are all begging others to be exposed. When will it be someone else’s turn to beg you?

"Just wait with peace of mind. Everything will be clear when Douying comes online." Xu Jia said calmly.

Both sides are waiting for Douying's performance after it goes online. If the effect explodes, then naturally everything will stop.

Xu Jia became a clown. He might have to apologize to Zhang Yiming if he met him in the future.

But if the effect is average, then the status of both parties will be in different places.

After all, Bytedance’s situation is much more difficult than that of Jiaxing.

The former may not be considered an upstart on the Internet, but with the three giants Penguin, Alibaba, and Du Niang watching over it, it is like walking on thin ice.

These three parties are all masters who eat meat without spitting out bones.

Especially for Penguin, if you are not careful, you might not know that the Penguin version of ByteDance will come out.

Not to mention Alibaba, which realized the advantages of ByteDance’s algorithm and increased its investment.

Only Du Niang is devoted to the field of artificial intelligence.

That's really a slap in the face...

……

The news that Xu Jia and Zhang Yiming met is not a secret at all to anyone who cares.

Rumors about the dinner party between the two parties came out vaguely.

It was extremely noisy for a while.

It is said that the two fell out on the spot, and Zhang wanted to ban Jiaxing, while Xu Jia wanted to take revenge on Byte.

There was a man named Zhang who wanted to acquire Jiaxing, but Xu Jia spat on his face.

Some people said that they were at the scene, and Xu Jia slapped Zhang with a big mouth.

Each one is more outrageous than the other.

"I heard that you and Zhang Yiming had a falling out? Do you want me to find a place for you?" Zhang Jun said with a smile.

From this guy's laughter, it's easy to tell that watching the excitement is not a big deal.

"Okay, if you can, just go to the homepage of Penguin Video and scold ByteDance, and I will respect you as a man." Xu Jia said casually.

Just kidding, who is afraid of whom? After all, he is the boss, and there is a Penguin Headquarters in charge of Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun choked to death with one sentence, and said angrily: "Then I really don't have the guts. It is said that you made an appointment with Zhang Yiyi to collaborate with him on a short video. So you are very optimistic about this track?"

"Please, after the little coffee show came out, I saw that this track is closely related to the entertainment industry. I will definitely pay attention to it. I won't go to other people. I just don't want to be bullied by the store owner." Xu Jia said perfunctorily.

How could he reveal his true thoughts and tell the other party that short videos would be the trend in the future? He wished that no one would pay attention to him.

But apparently, he still underestimated his influence.

"We at Penguin are planning to launch a short video project. I heard that you are interested. Do you want to go to the headquarters to chat? I will reimburse you for the air tickets from Beijing to Shanghai." Zhang Jun said.

Emotions are here to lobby. I didn't expect that when I met Zhang Yiming, Penguin would pay attention to him.

It seems that I should pay attention to concealing my itinerary in the future.

However, when Xu Jia thought about it, the possibility of problems with the people he brought was very small. It was probably ByteDance that let the news slip.

"There's a chance. Zhang Yiming and I have a bit of a conflict, but it's not as exaggerated as the rumors."

Xu Jia explained, and then changed the subject: "When do you plan to start working on the female version of "Oops" that I talked about with you before? How is the contact with the agency?"

Hearing the topic about his future, Zhang Jun naturally put the message from the headquarters behind him and said bitterly: "How can it be so easy to start? After seeing the success of "Occasionally Trained", those companies started to pay attention one by one. They all feel that they may be the exception, and the conditions are more and more outrageous, making it impossible to negotiate."
