Chapter 590: Is Chapter 590 a serious website?
An Nuonuo’s face instantly turned a deep shade of red.
Then she twisted Jiang Xu’s arm hard, “You bad guy, I don’t want to.”
Such a shameful nickname, she could not bring herself to say it.
This was within Jiang Xu’s expectations.
Although An Nuonuo had been with him for such a long time and had experienced what needed to be experienced,
to tell the truth, she was still quite conservative.
Many things, if not for Jiang Xu’s insistence, she would not have agreed to.
“Then…” Jiang Xu changed his request, “Can you call me ‘daddy’?”
An Nuonuo’s face was about to steam up as she looked at Jiang Xu angrily and said in a fierce but cute voice, “No, you’re so bad.”
“All right, all right.” Knowing that An Nuonuo was shy, and that these nicknames were a bit too much, Jiang Xu did not insist.
Then, he thought of something and whispered a few words in An Nuonuo’s ear, “This should be okay, right?”
An Nuonuo instinctively wanted to refuse.
But after a slight hesitation, she still nodded faintly.
This request, although also a bit too much, was undeniably much better than saying those two nicknames.
“Then what are we waiting for, let’s start.”
Jiang Xu was overjoyed and immediately scooped An Nuonuo up in his arms.
The following morning.
After waking up, Jiang Xu as usual dealt with various messages he had received on his phone.
The pressure wasn’t as intense these past two days.
The Sangsang phones were now being out-sold.
Even after price reductions, the effect was getting worse.
The biggest factor was naturally that Jiang Xu controlled one of the few domestic apps with a daily active user base of over twenty million, Daily Headlines.
All Mei Zhu phones came with Daily Headlines installed, and what’s more, it couldn’t be uninstalled.
Nowadays, just the Mei Zhu phones sold, including low to high-end models, totaled over eight million units.
A small portion of those users activating it equals a massive flow of traffic.
On Daily Headlines, you couldn’t find a trace of information about Sangsang phones.
Even those two words were blocked, leaving a blank page if you tried to search for them.
Then there was the reputation, brand effect, and so on, coupled with Jiang Xu’s own influence.
This led to a situation.
The more Sangsang phones reduced their price, the fewer people bought them.
Although people like cheap stuff,
if your product goes through several price cuts in a short period of time,
it gives the impression that your product is overpriced.
Some people, even if they wanted to buy, would wait and see.
What if I buy it now, and the price drops tomorrow? Wouldn’t that be a loss?
And the most important point is that constant price cutting is a massive blow to the whole brand.
Take a phone from the past that was known for its good value for money.
It offered phones with excellent value for money.
But in the later stages, when it tried to enter the high-end market, it was completely rejected.
Despite massive investment and multiple attempts to break into the high-end market, it always failed.
Once a label is attached to something, trying to remove it is undoubtedly hellishly difficult.
One could say that Lifuzhen was a bit too hasty in her battle against Jiang Xu.
As a result, her entire strategy tilted severely.
If she does not adjust her tactics soon, she won’t stand the slightest chance of a comeback.
The Mei Family on the other side would also quiet down for a short time, giving Jiang Xu a brief respite.
After dealing with company matters, Jiang Xu glanced at An Nuonuo.
She had not yet woken up.
Last night Jiang Xu had her put on a fashion show for him, and before they knew it, it had gotten late.
Jiang Xu did not disturb her.
At that moment, Fu Yanjie sent him a link on WeChat.
Jiang Xu didn’t click on it immediately but instead asked, “Is the website legit?”
Fu Yanjie replied instantly, “No shit, it’s Weibo. Hurry up and take a look.”
Only then did Jiang Xu click on the link.
The title was certainly eye-catching: “Shocking, such an astonishing event has actually occurred in the country!”
Jiang Xu was taken aback, clicked into it, and read through carefully.
Essentially, the article was about a newly established entertainment company intending to select the top ten school beauties from universities all over the country.
Moreover, just making it into the top hundred would guarantee a minimum prize of two hundred thousand, and the highest prize astonishingly reached one billion, plus a very generous contract for debuting as an artist.
Even those ranked in the hundred would get certain resources for debuting.
The total prize money for the top hundred added up to over ten billion.
It was a massive event.
Countless female university students across the nation went crazy.
If they could get on the list, they would be launched into stardom, becoming celebrities, standing above others…
So, when the news came out, any girl who had a bit of beauty and did not come from the topmost wealthy family, registered.
Some wanted fame, others were after money, but most sought both fame and fortune.
After reading through, Jiang Xu had someone look into this newly established entertainment company, formulating a hypothesis in his mind.
As expected, information was quickly obtained.
This new company, called ‘Universe Entertainment Company,’ was under the Mei Family.
Of course, the reason why Jiang Xu’s people could find this out so quickly was that the Mei Family had deliberately leaked the information to his staff; otherwise, it would not have been traceable back to them.
“So this is their second wave of attack,” Jiang Xu muttered to himself.
They were using such a high-profile approach to recruit a large number of quality artists for themselves.
And in the process, they would also gain a tremendous amount of traffic.
The National School Beauty Competition!
The Number One School Beauty in the Country!
The mere titles were enough to attract countless girls to participate eagerly.
It was like how no man could resist the eight words “appointed by heaven, may his life be long and prosperous.”
Jiang Xu’s gaze flickered.
What did the Mei Family want him to do with their second move?
It certainly wouldn’t be to stand by idly, nor would he just set up a similar contest.
Involuntarily, Jiang Xu’s gaze turned to An Nuonuo, who was still asleep!
A glint of shrewdness passed through his eyes.
He understood!
After getting up, washing up, and finishing breakfast, Jiang Xu went to meet Mei Du secretly.
The room she was in was filled with various instruments, so no eavesdropping devices could function there.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu, Mei Du immediately took out a contract.
The contract was from Universe Entertainment Company.
Mei Jiji had already signed and stamped it.
This second wave of attack, or rather, cooperation, was centered around An Nuonuo!
They wanted her to become the top School Beauty and then sign with Universe Entertainment Company.
However, the contract in Jiang Xu’s hand was Universe Entertainment Company transferring An Nuonuo to him.
As to how to appear above board, without any flaws, and get An Nuonuo to sign willingly, that would be a matter for later.
Simply put, the Mei Family would elevate An Nuonuo to a divine status, and after making her a goddess, have her earn money.
On the surface, she would enter the Mei Family’s fold.
But the moment Jiang Xu signed this contract, half of the profits from Universe Entertainment Company would go to him.
They would be wired to his account through an overseas bank, and even the powers behind the Mei Family wouldn’t be able to track it easily.
All rights related to An Nuonuo would also belong to Jiang Xu.
At this moment, Mei Du spoke, “He asked me to pass on a message to you.”
