My American magical life
Chapter 241 - 241 100 Lisa listen the bell of the new era has already rung

241: Chapter 100 Lisa, listen, the bell of the new era has already rung 241: Chapter 100 Lisa, listen, the bell of the new era has already rung Temir left, waving her sleeve, and not only did she not take a single cloud with her, but she even exploded with a million dollars’ worth of Gold Coin.

She wasn’t interested in clouds; instead, she was willing to help Cheng Daqi, and even made it clear to Lisa that Cheng Daqi’s matter needed to be expedited.

From this point of view, without a doubt, Temir was a person who had risen above low-level tastes.

No matter how much Cheng Daqi fleeced her, one time after another, she still kept Cheng Daqi in her heart—considering their collaboration.

Having power and not using it amounts to waste; the command of the wealthy black-haired woman had been given, and Lisa was now Cheng Daqi’s tool.

The leader’s will was, “Whatever needs to be coordinated by OC, just listen to Chan.”

Cheng Daqi fully comprehended Temir’s intention, but he wasn’t sure if the blond Caucasian understood.

After being stared at by the man in front of her for a long while, the blond Caucasian finally reached her tipping point.

You’ve already broken my best friend’s resolve to the core, and looking at me now, I’m very anxious and very scared.

“Don’t look at me like that; I’m scared,”

Lisa said softly, her voice trembling.

“What’s there to be afraid of?

The fate of OC perfume has completely changed course from today on!”

Cheng Daqi’s tone was enchanting, and even though it was apparent he was exaggerating and being mysterious, Lisa couldn’t help but ask.

“What trajectory?

Why today?”

Watching Cheng Daqi sit back in the boss’s chair vacated by Temir’s departure, Lisa felt a pang of melancholy.

This is my office, both of you, one counts as one, none of you take me seriously, right?

However, what Cheng Daqi said next stirred her emotions, and she no longer fixated on the fact that he was sitting in her chair.

“The ways of information dissemination have always been changing, from the wall paintings and carvings of our human ancestors in the Stone Age to the recording of events with knots in strings, which was a revolution in information.

The advancements in leather tanning technology made it possible for information to be transmitted more conveniently, and the emergence of paper strengthened the driving force of this mode of information dissemination throughout the ages.

After the Industrial Revolution, the advent of mechanical printing brought about cheap books and newspapers, with the first true explosion of the information revolution showing incredible power.

Upon the carriers of cheap newspapers and books, the flowers of thought bloomed in Europe, which had spearheaded the Industrial Revolution!

War propelled a huge surge in technology, radios and televisions began to enter every household, new methods of information dissemination closely connected the people with the nation, and also gave birth to cultural hegemony.

During the embryonic and budding stage of the internet era, the spirit of the Internet, which advocated free, open-source mutual aid centered on information equality, spurred the rapid development of the internet.

With the application of the internet, the efficiency of human information dissemination reached an unprecedented peak.

And now, with the maturation of internet technology on mobile phones, the widespread deployment of the 4G network, and the massive influx of 4G customers, a brand new era has arrived!

(America’s 4G operation popularization is slower than that of Hua Country, haha)”

Cheng Daqi spoke passionately with bright eyes about his thoughts on the emergence of short videos; in his view, this was an unprecedented information revolution.

His speech was sharp and persuasive, citing many examples from the Stone Age to the recording with knots, from leather tanning to mechanical printing, from the blossoming of thought to cultural hegemony, from free open-source to the popularization of 4G, all to set the stage for the unpredictable and unverified future he was about to describe.

This was a rhetorical strategy, similar to using examples to illustrate his point, laced with suggestion.

“Lisa, TikTok topped the app store’s download ranking in October.

Do you know what that means?”

I haven’t used it, so how can I judge.

I don’t know.

But admitting that would make her seem stupid, so the blond Caucasian didn’t dare to express her true thoughts.

She ventured a tentative answer.

“Does it mean the prospects for short videos is very broad?”

Cheng Daqi laughed softly, shook his head, and replied with anticipation.

“Lisa, listen, the bell of the new era has already rung!

The emergence of short videos will be a thorough and in-depth information revolution because most people are ignorant!

Those who are awake can escape the confines of the information cocoon, but most of the ignorant will slowly sink into that terrifying quagmire.

The sweet dreams of dopamine spun by capitalists will attack the souls of each ignorant person equally, and the world’s ignorant, they await our salvation!”

Up the value!

Temir is a capitalist, and Cheng Daqi wants to discuss a benefit exchange with her.

Lisa is just a high-level worker bee, poor with capital and at heart, a kind and beautiful girl.

Though she’s a co-founder of OC, a co-founder is essentially just a senior employee.

Cheng Daqi’s current game is ‘cornering the market’ and of course, he isn’t really going to bully Lisa.

However, he needs to empower Lisa in various ways, so, seizing the fundamental logic, he vigorously enlightens her with big-picture thinking.

Once Lisa’s awareness is more or less in line with his, Cheng Daqi can then exert precise force following Temir’s intention.

(The author says there’s a note here.)

“Chan, last time I heard you talk like this, you pulled one million dollars in investment from Mi’er right in front of me.

I don’t have that much money, you understand?” the blond Caucasian said cautiously.

Cheng Daqi heaved a sigh, rubbing his forehead.

Trust?

Where’s the trust between people?

“Your investments in the short video field with Mi’er can make you a lot of money, you’ll be rich in the future, but that has nothing to do with what I’m talking to you about right now.

What I want to emphasize is that the cooperation between OC Perfume and my short video operating company will give OC a fast track into the new era, completely changing OC’s destiny from the moment this decision is made.

This change is so great, you can’t imagine it!”

Cheng Daqi wasn’t talking nonsense without understanding anything.

He might not know about perfume or understand much about short videos, but he understood traffic.

What he used to play with was model innovation, a good model innovation means dimensionality reduction attack.

If OC became the first perfume brand to embrace the changes of the era, then, in a sense, it would have achieved a dimensionality reduction style of model innovation!

Live-streaming sales, short video traffic generation, matrix marketing—any of these could bring huge traffic to OC in the era of short videos.

In modern business, it’s traffic + Dollars, a huge amount of traffic + a huge amount of Dollars.

The ceiling of the perfume industry is only so high, and a large influx of new customers from short videos will first become acquainted with the OC brand, which means that OC will find incremental space outside of the industry.

Temir made it clear, her money isn’t easy to take!

Cheng Daqi dares to take it because he’s confident!

“You paint a nice picture, but my dear friend, what exactly do you want me to do for you?

Can you be direct?

Chan, the more you talk, the more I fear you’ll make a request I find difficult to fulfill.

Let’s keep it simple, let’s make our communication simpler between us.”

Lisa truly was wise; she understood Cheng Daqi all too well.

This damn Hua Country mechanic could spout tall tales effortlessly, and in her memory, the distance those tales ran often correlated directly with the difficulty of the requests Cheng Daqi made.

Cheng Daqi’s sweet talk was just to be heard, she dared not listen too closely.

Listen once and she ends up getting Cheng Daqi a supplementary card.

Listen twice, and she lends him two thousand dollars.

Listen three times, and she directly invests two hundred thousand.

The wallet of the blonde beauty told her Cheng Daqi was saying too much today.

“Two things.

The personnel work at OC headquarters isn’t saturated enough, let them help me recruit some photographers, lighting engineers, editors.

This is also to hone their work capabilities.

Additionally, help me find a reliable financial and tax outsourcing company, preferably one that takes less money but does a beautiful job.

For the second matter, I’d like to borrow some of OC’s idle office computers for a few days.

Don’t worry, once MAS becomes profitable, I will buy new office equipment and won’t always use them.

(Mountains and seas, the meaning of the mountains and seas of Shanhaiguan)”

Getting something for nothing is basic, but the true essence of Cheng Daqi’s entrepreneurship in his previous life was in making eggs without a chicken!

Borrowing the OC chicken to lay the MAS egg!

The blonde beauty pursed her lips in disdain, saying,

“Isn’t that three things?”

Cheng Daqi had too many requests, she found it a bit troublesome.

Seeing that the blonde beauty wasn’t too eager to help, Cheng Daqi said,

“The faster you help me get MAS up and running, the quicker OC can also embark on a new development path.

This is the best opportunity under the convergence of fate, letting OC overtake on the curve and become a new benchmark enterprise in the perfume industry at once!

Also, Lisa, if I remember correctly, you are also a shareholder of our MAS Media, aren’t you?”

I laid down so much groundwork, I don’t believe you won’t be convinced!

Will Lisa be persuaded?

Of course!

All of Cheng Daqi’s words aligned with Lisa’s understanding.

He wasn’t just spouting rubbish to fabricate chips; everything he said was factual.

Though Lisa wouldn’t admit it verbally, that’s because Cheng Daqi had upset Temir, and combining Cheng Daqi’s past track record, it scared her.

In fact, deep down, Lisa fully endorsed Cheng Daqi’s logic.

If she didn’t have some capability and wisdom, how could she become Temir’s favorite girl?

Was it just because she was pretty?

Beauty is the least valuable advantage, Lisa’s strengths were never limited to her beauty!

“Recruiting people is no issue, but if you’re looking for a tax firm, I recommend you go to my father.

I can get him to give you the lowest price.”

Lisa’s father?

Cheng Daqi was a bit stunned.

Sister, this handover is a bit too fast, your family’s business is too well-managed!

“My father is a tax planner, he has a small studio.

In the early days of OC, we outsourced the tax work to him.

As we grew bigger, we started doing it ourselves,” the blonde beauty explained.

Looking at her in a ladies’ business suit and skirt, exuding an aura of elite professionalism, Cheng Daqi couldn’t help but be inwardly amazed.

Lisa came from a privileged background, a devout believer with an impressive education, excellent work capabilities, and an adherence to the universal values that America itself struggled to maintain.

This was middle-class America, a textbook example of a middle-class elite.

It was thousands upon thousands of people like Lisa, Lisa’s father, Scott, who upheld America’s prosperity.
