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 dia, 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 an, 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 sowhat 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 ti 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 so attention to his mother-in-law’s restaurant.
After all, isn’t Mr. Li quite a public figure?
When the ti cos, should Liu Shanshan take a photo with Mr. Li? Then put it up in the main hall of the restaurant?
Custors 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 co 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 soone else!" Luofeng replied openly, also saying, "When the head chef cos 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 fa 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 so 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 soone 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 pri 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 environnt is nice!" Luofeng suggested.
"Wasn’t it supposed to be quiet amidst the chaos? If it’s like that, it’s too far!" Mr. Li replied.
"No worries, how about designing a helicopter?" Luofeng suggested.
"But... Capital City has very strict flight managent!" Mr. Li replied helplessly.
"There’s a way around that too, just invite the official managent team, but the cost will be higher!" Luofeng comnted.
Mr. Li shook his head again.
He and Luofeng had different views.
He can enjoy life, but there’s no need to go to such lengths.
But Luofeng was different, Luofeng feels he should never hesitate if money can solve it.
After about half an hour, a sumptuous lunch was served, all made by Liu Shanshan herself.
Almost no pre-packaged ingredients were used.
So it took a bit longer.
Good food isn’t afraid of arriving late.
Once the al was served, Mr. Li imdiately noticed a secret of the restaurant, "Are all the bowls here insulated?"
"Yes!" Luofeng began to explain to the other.
"Not bad, this solves a major issue with Chinese food, which suffers in taste if it gets cold!" Mr. Li remarked.
Actually, there’s another issue with Chinese food.
The business-style Chinese dining.
These generally last longer.
So dishes getting cold becos a more serious flaw.
These shortcomings were completely redied at Shuifei’s Private Restaurant.
Around 2:30 in the afternoon, this lunch ca to an end. Liu Shanshan, having finished her duties, agreed to have a photo taken with Mr. Li by the artificial lake at Luofeng’s suggestion.
After all, the photo can be displayed not only in the main hall of the restaurant but also be posted on the WeChat account for promotion.
By then, people won’t just see a photo of Liu Shanshan and Mr. Li, but also the beauty of the artificial lake.
Surely the photo will spread online.
The promotional effect will surely be good.
After the photo was taken, in front of Mr. Li, Luofeng directly said, "Auntie, print this photo, promote it well, our restaurant is recognized by Baidu’s boss!"
"Also, using this opportunity, on May 20th, we’ll start raising the prices!" Luofeng said.
Liu Shanshan felt a bit embarrassed, considering Mr. Li hadn’t left yet.
But Mr. Li just smiled.
He found Luofeng quite sincere.
After lunch, Mr. Li planned to return to Capital City.
Xu Fei from Ai Enterprise Video stayed in Shu City, since there were many things for Xu Fei to handle following the signing of the partnership between both sides.
In his office, Luofeng was reviewing several recent company matters.
Shangguan Feier then sent a ssage.
"Brother-in-law, mom just ssaged saying you took Baidu’s top boss for a al?"
"....." Luofeng replied, "Why does such a cultivated person like Baidu’s boss sound like so coal magnate when you talk about him?"
