Chapter 1473: Chapter 1209 Geek Tribe

Lin Yuan came empty-handed and left with an armful of tea.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang touching the power line—

Winning big time!

But all jokes aside.

I haven’t really bothered anyone over the years, just a little bit of an edge. So why should I become the target of Zhong Continent’s capital?

And all this talk about “if you can’t beat them, join them.”

Does that mean if another so-called genius appears in the future, I have to help Zhong Continent’s capital extinguish that light?

Sorry, can’t do that.

I’m wielding a dragon saber, practicing dragon-slaying skills; how could I turn into an evil dragon?

Right, System?

Besides, the chairman is such a good person, letting me do my thing, gifting me tea, giving me shares, and even allowing me to slack off work.

Such a wonderful boss.

Where else could you find such a boss?

Not to mention Starlight has Uncle Yang and Aunt Zheng, along with the entire Yu Dynasty, they’re all staying with me in Starlight.

Zhong Continent’s capital can tear down anyone’s wall.

But the wall of Starlight, nobody better think of tearing it down.

Mess with me again?

I’ll turn around and take the System to tear down your walls!

…

Li Songhua sat dumbfounded in his chair, his lips trembling slightly. This state had continued for a long time.

Suddenly.

The door was pushed open.

A man who looked seventy percent like Li Songhua entered.

“Brother?”

“How did it go?”

The man asked somewhat urgently.

Li Songhua looked at the half cup of barley tea left in front of him and suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes red.

The man seemed to understand something.

But he couldn’t help but express a bit of worry: “Maybe he hasn’t realized the severity of the issue yet.”

Swish.

Li Songhua downed the remaining barley tea in one go, as if it were a strong liquor, and said with high spirits:

“Maybe they haven’t realized the severity of the issue!”

“Do you really want to take on Zhong Continent?”

“Haven’t I already done better than you by being here?”

“When you gave him shares, it seemed like you weren’t all that confident, like a desperate gambler making a last bet.”

Gambler?

Because I didn’t understand him back then.

When giving the shares, Li Songhua didn’t know Xian Yu was Chu Kuang, and Chu Kuang was Shadow.

Yet even then, Li Songhua dared to say, “In the future, Xian Yu’s direction is Starlight’s direction.”

“I admit there was an element of betting.”

On the day he gave the shares, Li Songhua said to his brother, and today he could finally say the four words he dreamed of saying:

“I won the bet.”

The man couldn’t understand where Li Songhua’s confidence came from: “What secret does Lin Yuan have that makes you value him so much?”

“You?”

“Those at the Literature and Art Association are particularly interested in Lin Yuan.”

“Is that so.”

Li Songhua smiled.

There was nothing surprising about this.

Perhaps the higher-ups at the Literature and Art Association knew Lin Yuan’s secret long ago, yet no one has pierced through this layer of paper.

As if waiting for something?

Or perhaps.

Anticipating something?

Rising to the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, Li Songhua suddenly asked, “Do you know why I came to Qin Continent back then?”

“Why?”

“Emperor Qin conquered the Eight Wastes and the Six Directions, swallowing the world! Where the Great Qin cavalry’s swordsman went, no one could stand before them! This is the land where dragons rise!”

“You are neither arrogant nor superstitious, what about Emperor Qin?”

“The comparison isn’t me with Emperor Qin.”

“Is it Lin Yuan?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Emperor Qin, the true dragon emperor; I see you all wish to slay the dragon.”

“The dragon to slain must be an evil dragon.”

Li Songhua smiled faintly, already considering how to increase Lin Yuan’s shareholding.

…

Jin Mu reminded Lin Yuan.

The chairman also treated it as if facing a formidable enemy.

Lin Yuan knew this was the calm before the storm.

For days, news of collaboration talks between Tribe and Geek has been in an uproar, with the familiar shadow of Ling Kong navigating between them, playing an exceedingly important role—this was an unmistakable signal.

On December 10th, Geek officially announced the launch of an in-depth collaboration with Tribe, with complete integration of user data from both social media platforms, and all subchannels under them sharing resources.

Geek was gone.

Tribe disappeared.

The two platforms appeared in a brand-new form, the platform now named:

Geek Tribe!

The two platform names are simply combined.

The effect is similar to Twitter and Weibo merging into one new platform.

If such a new platform really existed, it wouldn’t only have all the big foreign stars, but domestic stars would also all be using it, allowing users from both sides to greet one another warmly on the same turf.

Finally, everyone wouldn’t have to switch apps to follow stars that might belong to two different platforms.

Sounds simple.

But it has very significant impact.

Know that on Blue Star, the major social platforms are seemingly competing for users, but in reality, they are competing for the main ground of public opinion.

Simply put, when some news breaks, where is the discussion most intense?

For the Celestial Dynasty, it’s definitely Weibo.

Many people hate Weibo yet can’t live without it because it has the freshest gossip, keeping an eye on the trending list makes it easy for everyone to munch on gossip together.

Now look at Blue Star.

How did Blog take down Tribe?

It wasn’t entirely the credit of Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Shadow, but it’s not far off either; look at how many big news events the Three Bros have created since moving to Blog over the years, attracting countless fans to come?

Of course.

Tribe can also discuss these news events, but the problem is the subjects aren’t there.

News created by the Three Bros definitely should be discussed on Blog, or even in the comment section of their dynamic accounts, to be fun.

Although the Three Bros are aloof, they’d surely look at the comment section.

Chu Kuang even interacted with fans!

Wherever the advantage of public opinion lies, everyone prefers to go play there.

Why are Geeks mightier?

Because there are more big names on Geeks.

Basic bigwigs of Zhong Continent mostly play on Geeks!

Just this point can attract netizens from all continents to flock over.

And while stars from other continents have joined Geeks, they’re mostly still playing on their own continent’s platform.

After all, for those stars yet to step out of their continent, their old fans there are their fundamental base.

Now it’s different.

Tribe and Geeks merge.

Both sides are thoroughly interconnected.

It’s akin to one plus one being greater than two.

After all, all users from these two platforms gathered together, instantly pushing Blog’s user count far behind.

“Geek Tribe?”

Lin Yuan knows Zhong Continent will surely take action.

Just didn’t expect the Zhong Continent capitalist circle to start with the internet, rather than first take a stab at Starlight.

This strike aimed at Blog.

Their ambition is the largest social circle on Blue Star.

If successful, Geek Tribe will control the voice of public opinion.

In the future, no matter how big the news the Three Bros stir up, it’ll go unnoticed if they secretly limit its flow.

While creating hot topics for themselves will also be much easier, Geek Tribe can promote using big data.

“It’ll be trouble if they dominate.”

Jin Mu frowned: “Fortunately, Blog’s base is big enough to be safe for now, but we can’t let them mess around, we need to find ways to compete for users, and also, we need to find ways to get more stars from all continents to join us, but for that, Blog needs to give us more company shares. The current amount is too small, even if we’re doing it for ourselves, they’ll end up benefiting the most.”

“Shares?”

“I’ve actually had several verbal exchanges with them regarding shares, essentially without much resistance, since they know what the biggest reliance on Blog is. You just have to handle the influx; when it comes to personal influence, no one is more charismatic than you.”

“Hmm.”

When it comes to directing the influx, Lin Yuan is quite adept.

This is a protracted battle, Lin Yuan doesn’t find it too challenging.

Whether we admit it or not, the fact before us is:

Lin Yuan, who owns shares in multiple companies, is just like those Zhong Continent competitors, also a part of capital.

“By the way.”

Speaking of shares, Jin Mu suddenly remembered something: “It’s quite intriguing, actually on Blog, there’s an old colleague from Starlight who is now one of Blog’s important shareholders; he helped a lot so the negotiations went smoothly.”

“Who?”

“Who else could it be?”

“Senior Yao Huo?”

Lin Yuan asked with some uncertainty.

Jin Mu nodded, the sharp light flashing in his eyes:

“This young man is really terrifying, as if he foresaw today’s scene, he suddenly joined Blog’s shareholder group at the end of last year.

The only reason I can think of for him doing this is to help you.

After all, his career map never included the internet sector.

I suspect he caught some rumors early through his network, since the Central State Financial Consortium isn’t a solid block.”

Lin Yuan was stunned.

And what Lin Yuan didn’t know was.

At that time, Sun Yaohuo was sitting in the office of one of his companies, looking at the news of Geek Tribe, talking to himself:

“I made the right move.

Brother Wang wasn’t kidding, someone wants to go after my junior.

We can’t let Geek dominate, it’s not good for my junior, Yu Dynasty, or even the entire Starlight.

Make money!

Still need to make money!

The Central State Financial Consortium is very daunting, but I’m still too poor, the help I can give my junior is truly limited.

Is there any new way to make money?

I’ll have to chat with those old friends, ask them to introduce big business opportunities to me.”

————————

ps: Chapter 676 had foreshadowing about Li Songhua and Zhong Continent’s grudges, though Polluted White may have forgotten, additionally Sun Yaohuo has a subplot about becoming the richest, which has been consistently woven into the text before, and will continue to be mentioned later. As the dawn breaks unnoticably, time to obediently go to sleep.
