Chapter 284 A Good Reputation and a Bad Reputation Are Better than No Reputation
Ding Lei, who came here in poverty, got his first venture capital of 1 million, and returned home with high ambition.
Before leaving, Wu Tao gave him his first suggestion, suggesting that he take the money and move NetEase headquarters to the capital.
However, Ding Lei refused, saying that he was reluctant to part with the group of Yangcheng brothers on Netease BBS.
Wu Tao did not insist on this.
In rebirth, some things can be changed, and some things can never be changed.
But for the development of NetEase, what Wu Tao hopes most is that it can be listed on Nasdaq as soon as possible, avoiding the storm of the Internet bubble burst, and no longer stage the "bloody listing" code.
Because of that, it will undoubtedly make the payback period of this investment longer.
On a summer evening, after a day of intense heat, there was a violent storm.
In the room that has been stifled by the air conditioner for a day, when the window is opened, there is a burst of earthy fragrance.
Wu Tao lay on the balcony with his eyes closed, enjoying the wind, enjoying this wonderful time.
At this moment, Shi Qianxue was dressed in a languid outfit, wearing a long T-shirt with a hem that covered her pretty buttocks, setting off a pair of long legs that became more and more graceful.
It's just that she had a fever for two days in a row, and now Shi Qianxue looked disheveled, and she was still a little bit unmotivated.
Sitting next to Wu Tao, he was about to touch Wu Tao's Jianlibao drink.
Wu Tao snatched it away, "You dare to drink it just out of the refrigerator? Do you want to go to the hospital for an infusion?"
Shi Qianxue pursed her red lips, sat up straight with her legs crossed, and said with a look of concern for the country and the people: "You said that the mainland and Treasure Island will really break out of war?"
"What are you kidding?" Wu Tao laughed suddenly, "Do you also believe the rumors?"
Shi Qianxue embraced herself and propped herself up on her coiled jade legs, "But Xiangjiang is about to return, and the mainland is really strong in terms of military affairs. As for the economy, it is no longer poor and empty, after all, even your mobile phone is needed." Made it..."
"Hearing your tone, it really looks like an undercover agent sent by the military commander." Wu Tao laughed and said, "Yes, the country has developed a lot. But it is precisely because of the economic development that it is impossible to fight this battle. "
"...As for those rumors among the people, they are nothing more than the fantasies of some frogs in a well. Whoever is serious is whoever is stupid!"
Speaking of this, Wu Tao recalled, "Hey, you have had such a severe fever these two days, can't it be because of this rumor?"
"No, it's not!" A blush rose on Shi Qianxue's pretty face, and her face suddenly glowed.
In the living room, An Rong and Fang Yuan were leaning back on the sofa, their delicate ankles were placed on the tea table, and they were eating potato chips in their hands.
A TV series with the theme of returning to Xiangjiang is being broadcast on TV. The sense of age brought by the old streets and alleys is fascinating.
Just like Wu Tao at this time looked at them in the picture scroll of the age.
At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door.
Shi Qianxue, who had just recovered, touched a cucumber and opened the door while chewing.
As soon as the door opened, Ding Tiantian, Tang Yan, and Chen Yue walked in in a state of embarrassment.
It seems that the heavy rain outside made them catch up.
However, the three girls didn't seem to feel any embarrassment at all. On the contrary, their faces were filled with righteous indignation, and they didn't even care about the curves after they got wet.
"Too bullying!"
Wu Tao couldn't care less about sitting alone on the balcony, and walked into the living room, "What happened, are you so angry?"
Ding Tiantian took out a few audio-visual magazines from her carry-on bag and said, "As soon as my song tape was released, I was scolded by a bunch of people with ulterior motives. What's even more hateful is that the other party even brought you, the songwriter, together insulted."
For Ding Tiantian, it's always okay to scold herself, but absolutely not to scold Wu Tao.
After receiving the magazine, Wu Tao waved his hand, "Hurry up and change your clothes so you don't catch a cold. Friendly reminder to you three, there is still a patient here..." Finally, he pointed to Shi Qianxue.
As soon as the words fell, Chen Yue couldn't help but sneezed several times, even Tang Yan felt a little sore.
An Rong quickly took them back to the house to change clothes.
Shi Qianxue moved closer to Wu Tao, staring straight at the magazine.
One is Pop Music Digest, and the other is Contemporary Music World, both of which are very influential music magazines in six provinces and one city.
Three days ago, when Ding Tiantian's song tape was released, Wu Tao originally thought about finding a magazine to write an article and playing side drums.
I didn't expect that someone wanted to go before my head, although these two manuscripts expressed the meaning of belittling and infamy.
After roughly scanning the two articles, Ding Tiantian and the others changed into dry clothes and came out.
It's just that due to their tall model figures, there is no girl's clothes for them to change into. In the end, all the loose men's T-shirts in Wu Tao's closet came out.
"Tiantian, in fact, you don't need to be angry. Not only that, but you have to thank others."
Wu Tao's words made the three girls stagnate for a moment.
"Why?" Ding Tiantian was puzzled.
Tang Yan was even more straightforward, "Are you out of your mind?"
Chen Yue was tactful, "Boss, what was written in the magazine was scolding us."
"I know." Wu Tao calmed down and said, "Then let me ask you, how is the sales of the song tape in the past three days?"
"Sister Chen said it's okay, surpassing the level of ordinary newcomers. Especially today, it suddenly increased by as much as 30%."
Wu Tao shook the two magazines and said, "Did these two magazines just come out today?"
"Yeah, how did you know?" Ding Tiantian was surprised.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Shi Qianxue was the first to recall, "You mean, these two critical articles actually increased the popularity of Tiantian's song?"
"That's right!" Wu Tao laughed, "Whether it's a good reputation or a bad reputation, it's better than no reputation at all."
"So, we have to thank him?" Tang Yan's temper was so violent that her waist was raised.
"Do you know who wrote this article?" Wu Tao asked.
"Sister Chen is inquiring, and there will be news soon." Ding Tiantian explained.
"No, are you really going to thank him?" Tang Yan said angrily.
Just then, Wu Tao's cell phone rang. When I connected, it was Chen Fang's voice, and it was exactly what these two articles said.
"It is certain that the pen name on Pop Music Digest belongs to Ge Daming. As for the one in the contemporary music scene, it is not Ge Daming, but it is also related to him."
"Okay, I got it. Leave it to me." After Wu Tao finished speaking, he hung up the phone, "Ge Daming did it."
Ding Tiantian clenched her fists tightly, gritted her silver teeth, and said word by word: "Despicable, shameless and dirty villain!"
This kind of cursing words is probably the most vicious and pleasant word she can express.
It's not like Tang Yan, who said directly, "CTM's, the bad guy surnamed Ge, is playing tricks behind his back, giving birth to a child without an ass hole..."
See how strong it is.
Wu Tao waved his hands calmly, "Okay, it's nothing serious, don't get mad at yourself."
"Is this the end of the matter?"
"Of course we can't just let it go like this!" Wu Tao said with a smile: "How can I be cowardly when the surname Ge made a scene? Besides, I can't let others sing a one-man show, it's so boring?"
