143 The Systems Mission (1/2)
Tianjing City, villa by Hong Lake in the southwest, villa no. 16.
Hong Anbao violently threw the wine glass onto the floor. ”Damn it! Why is that rascal Hong Dali's luck so good!? Everything he squanders in something, he always manages to get back such a big reward!? I Am a Singer, I Am a Singer! Damn it! How the heck did this show become so popular? How can it become so popular!? My plan was almost going to succeed, but this happened! Damn it, this can't do, I need to think of something! There are only three best slots for the younger generation during the family meeting! Mu Yuxi that b*tch definitely will take up one of them, and Big Uncle's son, Hong Anjin, definitely will count as one of them too. If Hong Dali takes up the last slot, I will be left with nothing!”
It was no wonder that he was nervous, only three people would be awarded as one of the most capable members of the younger generation. The one in the first place would obtain a 100 million yuan of capital, the second 80 million yuan, and the last 50 million yuan.
Seeing that Hong Dali's show was reaping such high rewards, Hong Anbao was really getting nervous.
Especially as recently, his Fierce Bull beverages was obviously loosing to Might Beverages, the sales performance constantly going downwards!
”This can't do, I must think of something! I can't just sit around and wait!” Hong Anbao fiercely said.
…
Disregarding how Hong Anbao was worried about himself, the popularity of ”I Am a Singer” was still on the rise.
Thursday afternoon, as the forum for ”I Am a Singer” was created on Sangle, the number of members shortly exceeded 500,000 and continued to increase rapidly.
Friday, the official Weibo for ”I Am a Singer” was formed, and the number of members who followed it reached 200,000 in the morning. As word got around, every hour saw an increase of 10,000 or so.
Saturday, the media started to focus on introducing the Holographic Projection Technology and translated the report in several languages, posting it on the articles of other countries too.
…
Sunday, city center, Sangle headquarters, 16th floor.
The secretary was full of sweat as he read the report in his hand. He carefully reported to Hong Weiguo: ”CEO Hong, the number of people using our search engine increased by another 4% these few days. The main reason was because of 'I Am a Singer' that Young Master Dali hosted. From the looks of it, there's still a lot of room for growth. After all, similar to Unexpectedly!, 'I Am a Singer' also has ten episodes…”
Hong Weiguo helplessly shook his head. ”This little rascal. He spent seven to eight million just for a TV show, he is really daring.”
The secretary stood at one side, asking, ”CEO Hong, then, what should we do next…”
Hong Weiguo touched his chin, suddenly changing the subject. ”We don't have to do anything. Oh right, that child, Lin Chuyin, how is she doing lately? I remember that she brought Dali to her lab the other day.”
The secretary said, ”Yes, that's right. Currently, Miss Chuyin treats Young Master Dali quite well. The Holographic Projection Technology was her creation, and she gave it to Young Master Dali. But Young Master Dali's moral quality is very good—on the day he got the technology, he helped Miss Chuyin to apply for its patent. From the current looks of things, Miss Chuyin didn't object to it. Oh right, one of the few projects that Young Master Dali requested to develop was to build a laboratory for Miss Chuyin. The venue is at the outer area of Tianjing Mountain, and work has already started.”
Hong Weiguo took in a deep breath. ”What is this little rascal planning to do exactly? He wants to build a mountain stronghold at Fengyuan Lake to be a bandit lord, and instead of building villas at Tianjing Mountain, he plans to build a laboratory. After producing 'I Am a Singer' and Unexpectedly!, he went to play in the movie industry…”
Hearing Hong Weiguo's muttering, the secretary softly said, ”CEO Hong, I think that Young Master Dali seems to be… seems to be…”
”Seems to be what?” Hong Weiguo asked.
The secretary wiped his sweat and said, ”He seems to be planning on taking over all of the industries. There's also Zhong Dian website, buying of land, and recently, he made a research laboratory in Chenhui Building 10th floor… He's involved in too many areas…”
Once he remembered the things that Hong Dali recently did, Hong Weiguo wanted to laugh. ”This little prodigal. If he wants to play around, then let him be. There aren't any major projects anyway, only ten million and below. It's not a problem.”
”OK, I will go and arrange it now.” Being able to become Hong Weiguo's secretary, his eye power was naturally not bad. But as he was leaving, he didn't forget to ask one last thing, ”But CEO Hong, according to reports, Young Master Dali seems to be starting to earn money.”
”How much did he earn? Hm, let me count.” Hong Weiguo started to count those assets of Hong Dali that might be earning money. ”Ye Lai Xiang, the internet downloads for Unexpectedly! and 'I Am a Singer,' plus the copyright fees and such… He should have earned 2 million or so, right?”
”Er…” The secretary flipped through the report, then difficultly swallowed down his saliva. ”CEO Hong, what you said is… a bit too little.”
”Too little? Then, how much is it?” Hong Weiguo curiously asked.
