Luofeng had his eyes set on the other party’s search business.
Although Baidu seems to be in decline, it remains the dominant player in the search market.
For traditional media, search engines hold an absolutely central position.
Otherwise, relying solely on Baijiahao? Ai Enterprise? And those short videos, they’re just a bunch of nonsense.
"Mr. Li, have you heard of the Blue Future Graphene Group?" Luofeng asked.
"Huh?" Mr. Li was taken aback. With the current popularity of Blue Future, who hasn’t heard of it?
"What do you mean, Mr. Luo?" Mr. Li inquired.
"What if your Apollo autonomous driving could receive support from graphene? What do you think would happen?" Luofeng said.
Baidu has always wanted to return to the Land of the Immortals.
Once one of the three internet giants, it’s somewhat down on its luck now.
Faced with Luofeng’s revealed cards, Mr. Li had no way to refuse. He sighed, "The proposal from Boss Luo is just too enticing, I need to seriously consider it!"
"It’s okay, Mr. Li, you can take your time to consider it!" Luofeng said.
A proper business negotiation can’t be settled in just a few minutes, and even a preliminary intention can’t be hastily decided.
It was about 1:30 in the afternoon.
Luofeng started to invite the other party for lunch, choosing Shuifei’s Private Restaurant as the venue.
Naturally, Luofeng was hoping to bring some attention to his mother-in-law’s restaurant.
After all, isn’t Mr. Li quite a public figure?
When the time comes, should Liu Shanshan take a photo with Mr. Li? Then put it up in the main hall of the restaurant?
Customers waiting in line would mostly see it, right?
Then one tells ten, ten tell a hundred? Wouldn’t everyone know about it then?
......
Luofeng, Mr. Li, and all their associates arrived at Shuifei’s Private Restaurant.
Luofeng had also reserved Private Room No. 1.
"Mr. Li, please come in!" Luofeng called at the restaurant door.
Mr. Li and Luofeng crossed the threshold together, and as they passed the screen, Mr. Li saw the artificial lake and the layout of ancient architecture, "This restaurant really spares no expense!"
"I co-own it with someone else!" Luofeng replied openly, also saying, "When the head chef comes over, I hope Mr. Li can take a photo with her, she’s also a fan of yours!"
She’s said to be a fan.
But using Mr. Li’s fame was already an unspoken understanding, both knew it in their hearts.
Mr. Li nodded, "No problem, but honestly, Mr. Luo is the real celebrity these days, but do you really enjoy going quietly unnoticed, Mr. Luo?"
"Who says I have to go unnoticed?" Luofeng retorted. He’s just the man behind the scenes now, not some quiet achiever.
In Private Room No. 1.
Mr. Li looked down at the artificial lake below and said enviously, "It’s so quiet amidst the chaos here, mountains and water, truly enviable, Boss Luo. I want to create a place like this in Capital City, but the cost would probably be much higher!"
Luofeng smiled and said, "Would someone as successful as General Li care if the cost is high? We work hard to make money, ultimately to enjoy a better life, right? Otherwise, what’s the point of working so hard just to make money?"
"So did Boss Luo buy a whole villa community to build your clubhouse headquarters?" Mr. Li laughed, "That’s a prime location in Wudao, and Boss Luo even got the permit?"
Mr. Li, being no ordinary person, understands the kind of power it takes to get hold of that place and to renovate it.
"Actually, a bit farther would work too, there’s still lots of land around Wudao, and the environment is nice!" Luofeng suggested.
