Chapter 213: I found a channel

It was 12 midnight before Zhou Ming and Tang Lin returned to Palo City. Zhou Ming sent Tang Lin home first before going home himself.

Although Tang Ran liked Zhou Ming very much, their relationship had not reached the point where they could so grandly share a room. Therefore, even though it was a three-bedroom apartment, they and the bodyguard each took a room. However, Zhou Ming was originally prepared to buy it outright, but Tang Ran vetoed his extremely wasteful plan after considering that they would not be living there for long. Although Zhou Ming did not care about the more than 100,000 US dollars for a house,

The layout of this three-bedroom apartment is divided into two sets, inside and outside. Put simply, it can be divided into a one-bedroom apartment and a two-bedroom apartment.

He pushed open the door, quickly did a routine inspection of the entire room, made sure there were no problems, and then went back to his own room. Zhou Ming pushed open the door to the two-bedroom unit on the other side. He saw Tang Ran lying asleep on the sofa in the living room. Tang Ran was still holding the remote control in her hand, and the TV was still on. It was obvious that she had been waiting for him while watching TV, and then she fell asleep.

This scene of a wife waiting for her husband to come home from work made Zhou Ming feel very warm. Zhou Ming gently went over and took the remote control in Tang Ran's hand to turn off the TV. At this time, Tang Ran woke up and opened her eyes dazedly to see Zhou Ming.

'Ran, I've returned from Los Angeles. The negotiations with Disney went very well, and they agreed to provide us with a distribution channel for cooperation,' Ming told Ran the good news in a soft voice.

'Brother Ming, thank you. You must have put in a lot of effort again,'

Tang Ran said to Zhou Ming, then pouted her lips, took the initiative to hug Zhou Ming's neck, and then offered him her kiss.

It was a while before they separated, but Tang Ran was still blushing and holding onto Zhou Ming, unwilling to let go. At this time, was no longer the rookie he had been when he was born. He understood what Tang Ran meant, and with a princess carry, he picked her up and carried her horizontally, then walked towards Tang Ran's room, while Tang Ran buried her head in Zhou Ming's chest.

After entering the room and closing the door, Zhou Ming gently laid Tang Ran on the bed, and looked down at her.

Due to the temperature of the air conditioner, Tang Ran was only wearing a thin pajama with a cute pattern. Through the thin fabric, Zhou Ming could see the tempting body below that made people think of endless fantasies. In the end, Zhou Ming's gaze stopped on her plump breasts.

I really didn't expect it. Usually she looks like a little girl, but she has such feminine assets.

Zhou Ming thought meaningfully in his heart, and at this time Tang Ran also obviously felt Zhou Ming's appreciative gaze. She suddenly opened her eyes, got up, hugged Zhou Ming, and kissed him again.

After a while of kissing, they rolled together on the bed, and as they rolled, piece after piece of clothing came off their bodies.

'You're not even wearing underwear, did you just wait here to seduce me?' Zhou Ming pressed against Tang Ran's delicate body, looking back and forth at her pale, jade-like body and teasing her.

Facing Zhou Ming's teasing, Tang Ran bit her red lips and did not refute, but quietly moved her little butt.

After being quietly rubbed a bit, Zhou Ming let out a breath, then scratched Tang Ran's little delicate nose and said, 'How dare you tease me, I will definitely teach you a good lesson today!'

After saying this, Zhou Ming began his hard conquest...

The next day, although Zhou Ming returned late and had sex with Tang Ran until the early morning, he still managed to arrive at the company on time. His first task upon arrival was to call Cheng Qian to the meeting room for a meeting.

When Chengqian arrived in the meeting room, Zhou Ming first told him about his investment in the movie and that he had already gone to Los Angeles to persuade the Walt Disney Company to sign a co-distribution contract.

'I believe that Steve Jobs' film can create a box office miracle. However, even though I feel at ease with the content and production, Tang Lin is right in saying that the film's box office is determined to a large extent by the publicity . For Steve Jobs' movie, publicity is still a very tricky issue. For now, Disney will only spend a maximum of 200,000 yuan on publicity.

Zhou Ming looked up at Cheng Qian and asked him, 'I know you're very good at marketing, so I want to ask you today, do you have any good ideas?'

Faced with Zhou Ming's sudden question, Cheng Qian was completely at a loss. He looked at Zhou Ming in a daze and couldn't say a word.

'I know I always say that there are no unsolvable problems in the world, only minds that are unwilling to think, but I'm not that kind of super genius either. Sometimes I have to brainstorm,' said Zhou Ming.

It was only at this point that Cheng Qian asked in a daze, 'Mr Zhou Ming, why are you investing in a movie, and one that hasn't even been completed? Have you given up on Jieke already? We're being targeted by so many companies, and we still have so many orders, are you just going to give up? Is there no way to salvage Jieke?'

Cheng Qian asked question after question, his emotions becoming more and more agitated, and at the end he even looked like he wanted to eat someone.

Zhou Ming was taken aback. He hadn't expected Cheng Qian to get so worked up, but it was a sign of his concern for Jieke. So Zhou Ming said to him, 'Don't worry, I haven't given up Jieke. I'm investing in movies now, just hoping to find another way to make a profit for the company. And I haven't given up on information technology either. It's just that the situation is such that there's no need for us to fight, don't you think?'

Cheng Qian lowered his head, looking a little downhearted. Zhou Ming reassured him, 'I know you're not willing to accept defeat, and neither am I. Why should we bow to them and admit defeat? But please believe me, sometimes taking a step back can lead to a whole new world.'

Cheng Qian firmly nodded. Seeing that he had finally come around, Zhou Ming immediately asked him, 'So, do you have any ideas for the film's publicity?'

Cheng Qian was taken aback by Zhou Ming's sudden change of subject. He paused for a moment, then thought for a while before tentatively replying, 'From what you say, Mr Zhou Ming, I understand that since the film has not yet been completed, the name and too much content about the film cannot be mentioned during the publicity. Moreover, the publicity budget provided by Disney is only 200,000 US dollars.'

In the end, Cheng Qian shook his head and said, 'I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou Ming, although I don't know much about film promotion, I understand that it is almost impossible.'

'Just like when we advertise a product, if we can't say the name of the product and tell people much about it, then there's no way to advertise it effectively, as for the budget.' Cheng Qian said to Zhou Ming, 'Please forgive me for being blunt, but according to the advertising of entertainment programmes on TV or posters on the street, I'm afraid that any one of them will exceed the budget. I'm afraid that with this 200,000 US dollars, even Silicon Valley won't be able to advertise it properly.'

Cheng Qian said at the end, 'But although I can't do anything, I can ask my friends. I know a few people with great marketing minds, as well as my university teachers. Maybe they will have a solution.'

Zhou Ming shook his head and sighed, 'Forget it, it's not good to have too many people know about this. Let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about you. When I came to the company today, it seemed like you had something you wanted to discuss with President Tang and me, didn't you?'

After Zhou Ming asked, Cheng Qian suddenly remembered: 'Yes, I do have something very important to discuss, it's about our company. Someone is deliberately spreading rumours about Jieke.'

Cheng Qian then told Zhou Ming that in order to generate new orders for Jieke, he had taken the salespeople from the marketing department to set up a booth outside. At first, nothing happened on the first day, but since yesterday, someone has been causing trouble at their booth . They only left the house today, and before the exhibition stand was even set up, they were already being looked down upon by many people. Furthermore, the Justice Bureau said that they had also received complaints that we were engaging in illegal transactions and illegal publicity, and that we would be detained.

'He not only spread rumours about our products, but also said that Jacko Company is a Ponzi scheme company that tricks people in with all kinds of high-tech items, but in reality any products, and then brainwash everyone and convert their souls, turning them into loyal followers of the devil. That's why the people from the Justice Bureau thought we were some kind of cult when they came to investigate,' Cheng Qian said helplessly.

Since Zhou Ming had gone to Los Angeles yesterday, so he hadn't had time to find out about these things yet. Now that he had heard what Cheng Qian had said, he was very surprised.

'I I can guess where these rumours came from and I can understand their purpose, but the key is that these outrageous rumours, does anyone believe them?' Zhou Ming asked somewhat puzzled.

Cheng Qian nodded with a bitter smile and said, 'I don't know either. Perhaps the rumour didn't start out like this, but then as more and more people believed it, it spread like a virus, and it just got more and more ridiculous.'

Zhou Ming Zhou Ming said he understood. Rumours are like this: they tend to get more and more exaggerated as they spread. And the key to a rumour being convincing is that it is passed from person to person.

Thinking about the various rumours flying around in friends' circles, I myself loathe such rumours.

'Especially now that these rumours have been posted on BBS, Mr Zhou Ming, you know that our technology products are aimed at young people who go online. Originally, we thought we could also target them to increase some orders. Now if these rumours are going to become popular on BBS, I'm afraid it will cause us a lot of losses,' Cheng Qian said.

Zhou Ming suddenly stopped Cheng Qian: 'Wait a minute, what did you say about BBS just now?'

Cheng Qian nodded and said, 'It's BBS. To put it simply, it's an electronic bulletin board system. It's connected via the Internet, and all computer users can read information and also post information they want to publish. With the popularity of personal computers, BBS is a new and popular thing among young people nowadays.'

Zhou Ming smiled helplessly. He knew very well that Cheng Qian had explained so much because he thought he didn't know what a BBS was. However, as a reborn person, how could he not know? In fact, having experienced the information explosion of the future era, he knew a lot about it. This BBS was actually the prototype of the pastebin forum.

But never mind, it's no use being so knowledgeable.

Zhou Ming asked Cheng Qian with this in mind: 'Are there many BBS users now?'

Cheng Qian thought carefully and replied, 'BBS is a new thing that has only become popular in recent years. The number of actual users is not that high, but among young people and students, it is very popular. As far as I know, many people communicate and chat on BBS. I even heard that some people exchange one-night stands and other things related to drugs on it.'

'It was chaotic when no one cared about it at the beginning, but if BBS is really as popular as you said, it could be a channel,' said Zhou Ming.

This comment made Cheng Qian feel very surprised: 'Mr. Zhou Ming, are you saying that we can also use BBS to promote ourselves, to fight online through the network and dispel those rumours?'

However, Cheng Qian was unable to hold back his surprise for more than three seconds, and then heard Zhou Ming reply, 'Of course not. What I meant was that if BBS really is as popular as you say, I think I've already found a good way to promote the movie at low cost and high efficiency.'

Cheng Qian was was dumbfounded: 'Another movie, Mr. Zhou Ming, what should Jieke Company do?'

Zhou Ming patted Cheng Qian on the shoulder and told him firmly, 'Don't worry, if I'm right, as long as my movie is a success, Jieke Company's predicament will be resolved.'
