Chapter 736: Chapter 736: 736: Launching a Short Video

“Miss Meng, let me give you a heads-up,”

“From now on, for the next ten or even twenty years, don’t go abroad.”

“Don’t even go to the neighboring countries.”

Meng Wanzhou was astonished, “Why is that?”

Jiang Xu’s expression was serious, “Just listen to me, we’re in a partnership; I wouldn’t harm you.”

“Of course, if you insist on going and something happens, all I can do is feel sorry for you.”

There were things Jiang Xu couldn’t say too much about.

He could only hint at them subtly.

Whether she listened or not was up to her.

If she did listen, she could avoid a disaster.

If not, while it might not be life-threatening, she would definitely face some hardships.”

Meng Wanzhou looked deeply at Jiang Xu.

Then she smiled, “Okay, I got it. Why not stay and have a simple meal together?”

“No, thank you.” Jiang Xu shook his head, “I appreciate the offer, but I need to go back overnight and make other arrangements.”

“As for the matter of internet fees, please handle it as soon as possible.”

“Mm.” Meng Wanzhou nodded, “I understand, don’t worry.”

“Oh, one more thing, we’re also about to launch our own flagship smartphone.”

“At that point, we will become competitors.”

Jiang Xu laughed, “The market is large, and I never intended to monopolize it anyway.”

“I welcome any competitor; let’s compete and improve together.”

Meng Wanzhou really liked this about Jiang Xu.

Generous, visionary, and unafraid of fair competition.”

Her smile grew deeper, “If I weren’t already married, I might have pursued Mr. Jiang.”

“But it’s a pity Mr. Jiang is engaged, otherwise I have a younger brother…”

“Stop, stop, that wouldn’t be right,” Jiang Xu shook his head, “I’m not worthy.”

He was sincere about this.

She was out of his league.

Meng Wanzhou laughed it off, taking it as mere politeness from Jiang Xu.

After a few more words, Jiang Xu left.

That evening, back at company headquarters.

Jiang Xu took out the short video app again and tested it a few times.

After several rounds of optimization, the short video app was now quite refined.

The only downside was that there wasn’t much content yet.

But that wasn’t a problem.

He could include some exciting clips from his company’s huge collection of movies and dramas.

Since it was all in-house, he didn’t have to worry about copyright issues.

And this time, the short-video trend was sure to catch on faster and smoother than in his previous life.

In the early days of his previous life, not a single celebrity was involved.

Many celebrities thought it was demeaning because the platform was filled with amateurs, and they looked down on it.

It wasn’t until the short-video platform eventually exploded in popularity and became a phenomenal success.

Then those celebrities finally caught on and started joining in droves.

But this life was different.

The top, most popular celebrities in the country were under Jiang Xu’s company.

He needed only to give the word, and all the artists would have to obediently join.

Once they joined, they would bring a massive following with them.

Jiang Xu had Ally bring some food into the office.

He typed on his keyboard for several hours.

Eventually, he worked out a complete strategy.

The success of short videos was due to various self-media personalities and bloggers.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Of course, they had to be paid to create content on the platform.

Jiang Xu developed a system of rewards.

In the early stages, he definitely had to invest money.”

Jiang Xu’s budget was two billion.

In his past life, a certain app had required tens of billions to get off the ground.

This time around, Jiang Xu had various advantages of time, place, and people, so he didn’t need that much.

He probably wouldn’t even use up the two billion.

Jiang Xu’s phone began to vibrate.

It was a call from An Nuonuo.

He pressed the answer and speakerphone buttons.

While typing on the keyboard, Jiang Xu spoke, “Are you done yet?”

“Yeah, just finished taking a bath. Are you playing games or working?”

“I’m at the company,” Jiang Xu laughed and said, “I have some good news, 5G is out, and we developed it ourselves.”

Previously, An Nuonuo didn’t understand much about this field.

After being with Jiang Xu, she learned a lot from what she saw and heard.

For example, 2G, 3G, 4G, were all developed overseas.

We had to pay hundreds of billions in patent fees each year.

These patent fees were levied on every mobile phone, ultimately passed onto the consumers to pay.

An Nuonuo’s tone was full of excitement, “Doesn’t that mean we can start charging patent fees from foreign companies in the future?”

“Exactly,” Jiang Xu nodded, “From now on, the roles have reversed, if they can, so can we!”

An Nuonuo, hearing the excitement and boldness in Jiang Xu’s voice, felt her own blood beginning to boil.

“Brother, you’re amazing.”

“Haha, it’s related to me indeed, but it’s mainly because Ju Factory is incredible.”

“I don’t care, you’re the best, brother.”

Jiang Xu felt pleased.

Who wouldn’t like having such an admiring girlfriend or fiancée?

Jiang Xu sent an email to the team creating the short video app.

There were a few small bugs to fix.

After resolving them, they could launch in the next couple of days.

This app, Jiang Xu named it “Quick Sound!”

…

A week later, an official announcement was released.

Overall network fees were reduced, and data flow increased.

A 30G data plan, previously costing five to six hundred, now only needed 58 yuan.

The speed of implementation was faster than Jiang Xu had anticipated.

Now, they just needed to wait for Ju Factory to announce the successful development of 5G.

But that would still take some time.

Jiang Xu knew that once the successful development of 5G was announced, it would cause a huge stir among foreign companies.

That meant the goose that laid the golden eggs, which had been comfortably earning them hundreds of billions in patent fees annually, was going to be slaughtered.

They would definitely start all kinds of crazy actions.

So, during his last visit with Meng Wanzhou, Jiang Xu had discussed all possible scenarios.

He had advised them to be fully prepared.

All components should be domestically produced before making the announcement.

That way, even if foreign companies wanted to cause trouble, they would be powerless.

It was like a ninety-year-old man looking at an eighteen-year-old beauty; desire was there, but power was lacking.

Today, Jiang Xu didn’t have much to do.

He finished work early, went home to wash up, and then sat in front of the computer.

The variety show Jiang Xiaoyan and others were filming premiered today.

They were adopting a shoot-and-air approach.

Air one episode, keep one episode, shoot one episode.

This way, if any issues arose during the airing, they could be corrected promptly.

The television broadcast platform was in Yue Province, while the online streaming platform was Nuomi Video Network.

8:00 PM arrived.

“Pastoral Life” started airing on schedule.
