Chapter 2360: The Era of Live Streaming

Perhaps because he was getting older, Zhao Fusheng felt that he was becoming more and more sentimental.

Often, seeing one thing would make him think of many others.

Of course, it might also be because these young girls were very attractive that he felt they deserved attention.

After all, this is an era that values looks.

Looks are justice.

For people with good looks, everyone holds high expectations, regardless of their abilities or character.

Moreover, there is a high tolerance for their mistakes.

A handsome guy who is introverted and has a cold face is called cool.

A handsome guy who is slow to react is called adorably dumb.

A handsome guy who doesn't talk much is called a straight-talking man.

In short, a handsome guy is fine no matter what.

And when a handsome guy has both high IQ and EQ, and is especially talented,

then that handsome guy is simply rare in heaven and hard to find on earth.

The same principle applies to women.

"Thank you for your hospitality. We'll enjoy it."

After bowing to Zhao Fusheng to express their gratitude, the girls happily began to eat.

Zhao Fusheng had also eaten enough. He waved his hand and called the waiter over, ordering a few more expensive and specialty dishes from the hotel.

To be honest, the status of idols in South Korea was really too low.

Especially for a group like f(x), which was neither fully popular nor completely obscure, their income was basically lower than that of a senior golden-collar worker under Su Xinghe.

Therefore, girls like Song Qian and her teammates had rarely been to a restaurant of this level.

Naturally, eating a lavish meal at the Shilla Hotel put them in a different mood.

"Thank you."

While eating, they naturally had to thank the person who was treating them.

"It's nothing. Go ahead and eat."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Choi Sulli, who had just thanked him, "Little girl, I see you've been in a movie, haven't you?"

"Yes, sir."

Choi Sulli quickly nodded, her face full of admiration!

That's right, admiration!

She truly admired Zhao Fusheng.

After all, if it hadn't been for Zhao Fusheng stepping in back then, she would have been forced into a casting couch situation by that director from CJ.

But then she ran into Zhao Fusheng, who called over the big shots Lee Jae-hyun and Lee Mi-kyung, and in front of them, he gave that guy a thorough scolding.

From then on, no one dared to make things difficult for her on that matter.

Moreover, a rumor spread in the industry out of nowhere that Lee Mi-kyung liked her and was willing to take care of her.

Who was Lee Mi-kyung?

The representative director of CJ Entertainment and the vice chairman of the group.

A big shot of that level—who would dare to provoke her?

Even if it was just a rumor, no one dared to do anything to Choi Sulli.

After all, offending a big figure like Lee Mi-kyung was not something just anyone could bear.

"Not bad."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Choi Sulli, "I think you'll definitely develop even better in the future. You must come to China to develop, you know?"

"Yes, I'll remember."

Choi Sulli replied fluently in Chinese.

Since last time, she had been working hard to learn Chinese from Song Qian. And indeed, the girl had a talent for languages; now her Chinese was quite decent.

The meal was finished quickly. After eating, the girls naturally bowed again to express their thanks.

Originally, Zhao Fusheng planned to take them shopping and give them some gifts, but later Song Qian told him they had to get up early the next morning for a schedule, so he dropped the idea.

...

...

"Chairman, you seem to like them a lot."

On the way back, Chen Qiuyan sat in the car and asked Zhao Fusheng curiously.

Zhao Fusheng smiled upon hearing this. "Sort of. Don't you think these girls have a vitality that I don't have?"

"Vitality?"

Chen Qiuyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "That's true."

Although she didn't understand Korean, she could tell that these girls indeed had a vibrant, energetic aura.

This was something everyone could feel.

"Some of them are for their dreams, some for their families, some for themselves."

Zhao Fusheng said calmly, "But no matter what they're for, the persistence in these kids is something you and I don't have."

Then, he glanced at Chen Qiuyan indifferently. "Think about it: sleeping only four or five hours a day, besides performing, running schedules, practicing dancing and singing—if it were you, how long could you keep it up?"

Chen Qiuyan remained silent.

Although Zhao Fusheng spoke lightly, she could still hear the hardship in it.

But she also had to admit that she probably couldn't do it herself.

After lecturing his secretary, Zhao Fusheng said no more, because some things didn't need to be spelled out.

The reason he treated Chen Qiuyan differently from Wu Sijie and others was precisely this.

Because he couldn't sense the word 'ambition' in her.

Human beings, fundamentally, are advanced animals.

But if a person doesn't even have greed, they cannot achieve success.

Because in the entire history of human development, no successful person has achieved success without being driven by greed for success.

Sitting in the car, Zhao Fusheng said nothing more.

Returning to his residence, he told his people to rest and sat on the sofa to look over documents.

Although the company was now starting to raise funds, there were still quite a few matters requiring his attention as chairman.

Especially regarding Future Technology.

Recently, the YY voice chat software had been developing extremely fast. According to estimates from Dong Chenxi and Zhou Shijie, this company might have a chance to go public within two years!

Looking back, even Zhao Fusheng himself hadn't expected this thing to develop so quickly.

Moreover, according to Dong Guoxiang's report, the platform had already started to have streamers and fans.

Those fans would give gifts to the streamers and spend money on recharges.

And the numbers were not small.

"The era of live streaming."

Zhao Fusheng muttered to himself.

He clearly remembered that in a few years, once video technology matured, how much money the major live streaming platforms would rake in, and how much the streamers would earn.

Some even said that although a certain city in Guangdong Province starting with the character 'Dong' had been shut down, the rise of live streaming platforms had definitely saved those young girls who wanted to make money but didn't want to work hard.

Although he didn't know if this claim was accurate, Zhao Fusheng felt that in a sense, it made some sense.

At the very least, in terms of nature, it was essentially the same.

So-called online streamers, in essence, are online beggars.

In the eyes of these streamers, the fans who give gifts are their money bags. They will use any means to trick fans into giving gifts, and once the fans have given all their gifts, they naturally lose their value.

Discarded like worn-out shoes.

That's just how reality is.
