Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 1009: The First Investment and the Innate Hot Search Holy Body
With the blessing of the "Life System" entry, the strong become stronger and conquer at will, while the weak become weaker and sweat profusely.

After one night, the value of this white entry continues to rise.

The next morning, Zhou Rui made a simple breakfast himself.

The main raw material is Tong Xin’s leftover rice from last night. Because it was not very delicious, most of it was saved.

He could understand why people were confused by vague terms like "a little salt", but he didn't quite understand why cherry tomatoes were used to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

And when they were served last night, each one was intact, lying in the egg, as fresh as if they had just been bought from the market.

Saving leftovers is much more difficult than making it again, so Zhou Rui used up almost all of the few seasonings in Tong Xin's house.

After working for half an hour, Zhou Rui picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and tasted it.

"Great, time to order takeout."

After thinking about it, the fastest way was to ask the security team for help, so Zhou Rui took out his mobile phone and called Lin Tuo.

"Have you eaten yet? Bring some up for me."

Just after hanging up the phone, Zhou Rui felt a pair of bare hands hugging him from behind.

A sound of gnashing teeth, happiness and helplessness came.

"Too much~"

Zhou Rui smiled. At this time, keeping silent was the best choice.

Breakfast came quickly. There was a knock on the door. Tong Xin ran back to the bedroom. She was wearing a little too little.
The person who brought up the breakfast was Mia, who was pretending to be calm, but Zhou Rui ignored her, took the breakfast and closed the door.

Soy milk, fried dough sticks and rice balls, still hot.

While eating breakfast, Zhou Rui chatted: "How are the preparations for Double Eleven?"

Tong Xin replenished the excessive energy she had consumed, and the suspenders slipped off one of her shoulders. Zhou Rui looked at her with a smile. No matter how many times he ate the tempting and juicy ripe fruit, it was never enough.

Tong Xin chuckled.

"It's almost done, including stocking and marketing. By the way, thank you Master Zhou for allowing the use of your image rights?"

Zhou Rui found the "borderline considerations" of Tong Xin's company quite interesting after seeing them for a long time. If it was done by some random company, he would definitely have someone take care of it, but Tong Xin would definitely be a different matter.

Tong Xin originally planned to give up on her dream, but now it has turned into a profitable business for the company with its best-selling products on the Internet. She feels a bit embarrassed and stuck in a dilemma.

She didn't want to use Zhou Rui to make money, even if it was just a specious image. No matter what the relationship between the two was, she maintained her insistence on "independence".

However, after a brief chat, Zhou Rui said that he quite liked those strange T-shirts and asked Tong Xin to continue.

It seems that she actually likes it very much, or rather, she likes this feeling of "secretly enjoying herself".

Tong Xin remembered something, ran back to the closet naked, found a T-shirt and showed it to Zhou Rui.

The cartoon pattern above is becoming more and more exquisite, and the image is 70% similar to Zhou Rui himself.

Originally, the designers were afraid of getting in trouble so they were all relatively abstract. If it weren't for the "hot memes" related to Zhou Rui, they wouldn't be very recognizable.

The one in front of me is much more handsome.

A "Zhou Rui image" divided into seven equal parts, holding a purple square box with the words "Do you want it?" written on the side.

The purple square box is obviously a "lithium-sulfur battery". From a distance, it looks like a...
Disposable gloves
"You guys are keeping up with current events."

Tong Xin shook her head: "This one was shot down. I think it's too much of a joke. I just wanted to show you, what do you think of this cartoon character?"

Zhou Rui selectively ignored the question of why the clothes of the executed person were brought back home by Tong Xin.

He said indifferently: "Not bad, I don't really understand design."

Tong Xin also likes it very much, as she was personally involved in creating this image.

"Although Master Zhou himself has nodded, I still think it's time to stop. In the future, I plan to make this type of T-shirts as limited editions. I won't make any profit from it. I'll just use it as a traffic generator or souvenir. What do you think, Boss Zhou?"

Zhou Rui spread his hands: "You have the final say."

Putting away the clothes, Tong Xin thought of her work on this year's Double Eleven and said with emotion: "In the past two years, the marketing costs of major platforms have been getting higher and higher, sometimes accounting for half of the cost. If it weren't for this, I would have cut off the 'Zhou Jiaozhu Series' long ago. I feel like I'm about to hit the ceiling."

Zhou Rui didn’t pay much attention to these things on weekdays, but generally speaking, due to the excellent environment, the development of e-commerce is faster than in his previous life.

Zhou Rui: "Maybe it's not you who are reaching the ceiling, but the traditional e-commerce model and several large platforms are reaching the ceiling themselves."

“Traditional e-commerce model?”

Tong Xin feels that this is a very niche term. Since when did e-commerce become "traditional"?
Yes, she is almost 27.
Seven or eight years have passed in a flash.

And it feels so good that I am still with Zhou Rui.

Tong Xin gently pushed away the McDonald's that was wrapped around her ankle, and her smooth calf rubbed against Zhou Rui. The solid touch made her think of something else, and she was distracted for a while. She supported her face with one hand: "It's possible, it's time to transform."

Zhou Rui suddenly thought of the development of e-commerce in his previous life: "Do you have live broadcasts?"

Tong Xin was surprised that Zhou Rui actually knew this: "Taobao just launched the live broadcast function last month. We tried it and it worked, but it was average."

"You're going to do it yourself?"

"That's not it. The company assistant is doing it. I don't like facing the camera. It makes me uncomfortable."

Although live streaming would probably be of great benefit to her given her looks and figure, she likes to take pictures of others and doesn’t like being photographed.

Zhou Rui didn't know much, he just said: "I think this will be a growth point for e-commerce, you can pay more attention to it, including other platforms"

Calculating the time, Douyin should be appearing soon, if he hadn't been disturbed by his butterfly wings.
Tong Xin raised her fist and said, "Don't worry, even if sales have reached the ceiling, it doesn't mean there is no way out. We can dig deeper into the supply chain, strengthen the brand effect, and expand the platform and categories horizontally. There are many things we can do. I won't stop!"

Yes, if you have this mindset, you won’t reach a dead end when doing things.

Although Tong Xin's company can only be considered a small one compared to Fu Rui, we should never underestimate her because she is already a mature boss and entrepreneur.

How many girls can earn millions a year at this age?
Zhou Rui suddenly thought of another boss and entrepreneur.

My earliest investment: Are you hungry?

At the time, I had no idea what path I would take, but when I saw an opportunity, I jumped in. It’s funny to think about it now.

Zhang Zhihao, who had not been in contact for a long time, contacted him some time ago and said that he was ready to sell the company to Alibaba for cash, and he wanted to obtain the consent of him as the original shareholder.

To be honest, after all these years, he never asked me if I was hungry even for a single day. My communication with Zhang Zhihao basically stopped at text messages during the holidays, and the last time they contacted each other was when I was elected as an academician.

But Zhang Zhihao still guards his share.

Regardless of whether he is "cowardly" or "has good character", Zhang Zhihao is extremely good in personal relationships. Even for Zhou Rui, that investment has become only a page in the annual report and is not important at all.

How much did it cost? 50 or 100 million?
Although there was some dilution after each round, the proportion was exactly the same as that of Zhang Zhihao himself, and he kept his promise.

The only thing that made Zhou Rui speechless was Zhang Zhihao’s choice: the total cash out was 600 billion, and this guy personally got 60 billion, so he was ready to retire directly.

Zhou Rui did not persuade him much and let him cash out along with his own shares, which became an ordinary addition to Master Zhou's assets.

People who work in the Internet industry seem to all have this "cashing out" mentality, and from the very beginning, they have been planning how to exit in a graceful manner.

The only thing that made Zhou Rui feel relieved was that this guy didn't have any idea of ​​"moving to a beautiful country and enjoying a free life", but just chose to lie down completely.

In his words, he is not used to the food abroad because there is no Dongpo pork elbow.

Now this guy still holds a position in Ele.me according to the cash-out agreement, but he is more like a consultant and mascot.

Lying flat on his back. He's just 30 years old.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and to some extent Zhang Zhihao is worthy of envy, but this first investment in his life can be said to have a beginning and an end.

After breakfast, Zhou Rui left Tong Xin's house, and the other party said that he would not go out to the company until the afternoon.

I need to catch up on some sleep, otherwise I'll be too tired.
Zhou Rui got into his car outside the community and headed towards Songura.

We had made an appointment before to go and see the "Sports Rehabilitation Center" which is cooperating with the Sports Bureau.

The journey is a bit long. Although both are in Shanghai, it takes an hour and a half to drive from Yangshupu to Songpu. This is when there is no traffic jam at all. It is not much different from going to Taicang.

He probably won't go there a second time, this time he just showed up.

Zhou Rui was bored on the way and was checking his phone. The latest news was basically half and half about "lithium-sulfur battery" + "Han". All major media outlets were continuing to follow up, and sales growth was very strong.

The boatman’s long-cherished wish is finally about to set sail, and the entire terminal manufacturing industry will take off as well.

The other half is the new director who just took office across the street.

This guy is like a natural hot search saint, he is everywhere. There are outrageous comments everywhere.
Preparations are currently underway to build a wall across the border.

The plan is to cost $150 billion.

Judging from this offer, Commissioner Smith probably hasn't figured out the new director's approach, or he still has some concerns.

Otherwise, it would be reasonable to double or triple it.

After all, installing a one-meter-high iron plate in the subway will cost 70 billion. That’s the Great Wall of the United States. Don’t you have any dignity?

Perhaps this is exactly why the new director is not accepted by "some people".

Which part? Zhou Rui believes that there must be those behind "Omar"
Some time ago, I asked the barrister about the progress of Xiang Jiang's life extension issue. It seems that "Omar" has sold all five places.
