Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

Speaking of the origin of the two, it still has to start from 11. At that time, Zhang Yilin had no relationship with ByteDance. She was just a fledgling graduate with great ambitions.

At that time, short video platforms were not as popular as they are now. However, Love at First Sight was the first to start working in this industry.

Zhang Yilin had excellent grades in school and advanced professional skills. After graduation, someone introduced him to a good company and asked him to be a technical consultant. But Zhang Yilin had his own ideas.

The most innovative and bold ideas in the industry are love at first sight. And his pride also makes him want to work in such a company.

He has his own set of ideas, the idea that technology is above all else, and he wants to put it into practice. Even before the interview, he had already come up with a very complete technical framework.

However, when talking with Zhong Meihui, the other party did not agree with the idea of ​​hardware coordinating everything.

Especially when it comes to his ideas about making videos, the two of them are completely different. Zhang Yilin wants to make high-quality videos, and he wants every video he releases to be perfect and complete.

Zhong Meihui’s requirement at the time was that since it was a short video, the main requirement for the video was that it had to be short and concise.

The key is to be able to catch people's attention and attract more people to watch, comment and forward.

Zhong Meihui also told him at the time that he could imagine as much as he wanted, but all ideas had to be based on solid facts.

Zhang Yilin left at that time, believing that Zhong Meihui knew nothing about technology and did not pay attention to the quality of her short videos. Holding this breath in his heart, he vowed to start a company at that time, which would be better than love at first sight.

At first, he really ran the company according to his own ideas. The video is very beautifully made, and it is worth promoting both from a technical and aesthetic point of view.

But there is one point, which is also the key point that the company has never developed, that is, the content is too long.

After discussing with friends several times, he proposed Zhong Meihui's original operation idea. Unexpectedly, within a few years, the company had become unstoppable.

However, due to the presence of bosses like Mr. Li at the time, ByteDance developed very well, but it had not yet reached the level of love at first sight.

In recent years, the development momentum of Mr. Li's company has been somewhat weak, and Love at First Sight has made many mistakes in its decisions. Coupled with the negative comments about "Zhong Meihui" on the Internet, the company's influence is not as good as before.

It is precisely because of this opportunity that ByteDance was able to break out of the middle class. The company's market value has now reached more than 20 billion US dollars.

As the founder and largest shareholder, Zhang Yilin is very satisfied with his current achievements. His only obsession is to fight Zhong Meihui again, and now the fight is not just to prove his ability.

I also hope to reach a cooperation with Zhong Meihui. She already had those ideas six or seven years ago, and today she must have more ideas that can help the company grow and develop.

It was just a pity that he would consider the purchase of a declining company for 2 billion US dollars even if other shareholders did not object. Especially after meeting Zhong Meihui, he didn't know how that brilliant person suddenly became mediocre.

Now I know that it was just a fake.

If Zhong Meihui had not really been in a coma for the past few years, he probably would not have developed the company to such a scale. Naturally, he could not avoid the help of noble people.

"My obsession is just to cooperate with you." After meeting 'Zhong Meihui' in Beijing, Zhang Yilin's desire to acquire the company he fell in love with at first sight was not so strong.

If you think about it, he just wanted to collide his ideas with Zhong Meihui's to see if there could be more sparks.

But now, his obsession is back. Just now, he talked with Zhong Meihui for a while. She even said a few things that directly hit the key problems of the company without paying too much attention to Byte Dance.

Even though the company has grown to this size, there are still many problems. In recent years, Zhang Yilin has been trying to find ways to improve the company's management.

He was just testing her on purpose and also asking for advice, but the answer Zhong Meihui gave him surprised him.

"I will try to convince the shareholders." Zhang Yilin heard that she attached great importance to love at first sight. If so, he also hoped to cooperate with her through love at first sight.

As for Zhong Meihui's personal affairs, he thought he didn't need to worry too much about them.

"I will invest and support you in the merger. The shareholding ratio of Love at First Sight will be diluted according to our previous one." Zhong Meihui did not beat around the bush. "And I promise that if your opinion is different from that of other directors in the future, I will support you unconditionally."

"What do you need me to do?" Zhang Yilin nodded without hesitation.

"Didn't you promise the guy in Beijing that you would merge Love at First Sight?" Zhong Meihui's voice was mixed with fatigue. It was obvious that she had been a little tired recently.

Chu Shoucheng has already taken care of the rest. His American company here will invest 50 billion US dollars in ByteDance.

Not only did he acquire 22.5% of the shares, he also made a written commitment to Zhang Yilin to absolutely support him.

When Zhang Yilin was leaving, he said goodbye with his left hand. "No wonder you quit Love at First Sight right away. It turns out you knew that the other person was a fake." The circle in Beijing had been in turmoil for a long time because of the car accident.

Especially Mr. Li, who wanted to take the position of love at first sight. But Mr. Li was not that kind of material after all, and the company had not had much development momentum in recent years.

On the contrary, ByteDance is still developing at full speed. The decline of Love at First Sight seems to indicate that the era of Zhong Meihui is about to exit the stage of history.

He had always been focused on the company's operations and rarely attended ordinary drinking parties. However, Zhong Meihui, who had never liked noise, changed her mind and participated in those activities with great fanfare.

The drastic change in temperament is fake; the point is to make the fake look real.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Zhang Yilin promised his left hand before leaving.

"No need to deliberately conceal it, and no need to deliberately say more." He was also very curious whether Chen Xiaoli could sit still in Beijing. He already controlled the overseas accounts, and even if Chen Xiaoli wanted to run away, he would have to see if he would let her.

After watching Zhang Yilin leave, he drove back to the hospital.

"You and he are very affectionate." There were only the two of them in the ward, and Zhong Meihui felt a little awkward if she didn't say anything.

"Even though we are friends, I can't save you a penny." He continued to stay in the corner with the notebook in his left hand. "That idiot didn't even realize that I found his account."

Idiot, of course I’m referring to the one in the capital.
