The Gambling Agreement Is Signed, He Rui Is Puzzled.

"Since that's the case, then you two should discuss it carefully. If it's truly suitable, we'll establish a large factory."

After hearing the Top Leader of Xiaohe Town's statement, Lin Feng directly assigned the task of negotiating to Qu Qiongying, choosing not to participate himself.

After all, he knew his own limits. If he were to personally negotiate with the Top Leader of Xiaohe Town, he would be the one losing out more in the end.

"Alright, then I'll thank Boss Lin on behalf of the 130,000 people of Xiaohe Town."

Although he knew Qu Qiongying wouldn't be an easy negotiator, and Xiaohe Town would have to make significant concessions, as long as Lin Feng could establish the factory there, it would be a great victory for Xiaohe Town and for him personally. After all, his path to advancement was now secured.

Over the next few hours, Lin Feng, Qu Qiongying, and the Top Leader of Xiaohe Town toured the available wasteland and open land suitable for factory construction.

Afterward, as the Top Leader of Xiaohe Town enthusiastically invited them to a meal, a phone call interrupted their pleasantries. Lin Feng's face lit up with joy.

It turned out that after two days of remote video conferences, the shareholders of Bilibili had finally decided to agree to a bet with Lin Feng.

Of course, the specific details of the betting agreement were quite complex, and it would likely take several days of back-and-forth haggling to draft a relatively complete agreement without any loopholes.

However, with their agreement in principle, the rest was merely a matter of lawyers meticulously checking and patching up any contractual loopholes. The lawyers' haggling wouldn't affect the finalization of the cooperation.

Lin Feng would be very busy from now on. He needed to come up with a profit development plan for Bilibili and also create a recommendation algorithm.

Regarding Bilibili's profit plan, as a long-time user who frequented Bilibili in his past life, he could directly copy successful cases from that era.

However, rather than simply copying, Lin Feng had made a few minor improvements to the profit development plan based on his past experiences. If Bilibili were to implement these small changes, they alone would be enough to sustain the entire platform, securing his 30% stake as a guaranteed outcome.

Furthermore, Lin Feng also needed to develop a recommendation algorithm. This algorithm didn't need to be groundbreaking, but it absolutely had to elicit exclamations of "Wow!" from users and gain their approval.

This was because only then could he use the system to upgrade the recommendation algorithm, and subsequently use a more powerful version to push suitable videos to users, thereby increasing user retention and making Bilibili's user base grow larger and stronger.

As for the specific research and development direction, Lin Feng had already decided to copy Douyin's recommendation algorithm from his previous life. Although Douyin's algorithm was a bit ruthless, ruthlessness was precisely what kept the flow of content circulating.

Without news of overnight success, how could more people be stimulated to become UP主?

And without more content creators, how could more excellent videos be produced to capture more users' attention?

With his decisions made, Lin Feng became engrossed in his work, while the lawyers from both sides began their busy work of haggling.

Meanwhile, countless netizens eagerly awaited the release of the edited promotional video and development documentary for the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.

Although videos of the live testing of the domestically produced Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle had already appeared online, these videos were ultimately too one-sided.

People were more interested in the behind-the-scenes story of Lin Feng's development of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle and understanding its structural principles.

As for Qu Qiongying, she was busy with recruiting staff to form the company team and with the establishment of the new factory. She worked from morning till night every day, reportedly even thinking about work matters at home.

It could be said that Lin Feng's mother's decision to give away 1% of her shares seemed to have been the right one. At the very least, hiring a professional manager wouldn't result in someone working as hard for Xingtu Technology's rise.

Three days later, Hangzhou.

Lin Feng and Qu Qiongying flew directly from Zhancheng to Hangzhou, a city famously described in the saying, "Above there is paradise, below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou."

Hangzhou was also a city with a highly developed internet industry, and many internet companies originated there.

"Welcome, Mr. Lin Feng."

A somewhat portly man extended his hand with a smile. This was the head of Bilibili in Lin Feng's past life, He Rui, who was currently holding a high-level position at another company.

"Hello, Mr. He Rui."

Lin Feng smiled and shook the man's hand.

Afterward, Lin Feng shook hands with several other shareholders and employees present, big and small, and then it was time for the final review of the betting agreement.

Naturally, no loopholes were found during this final review. Even if there had been any, they had been rectified over the past three days through negotiations between the professional lawyers hired by both sides.

Thus, Lin Feng and Xu Yi, among others, signed their names and affixed their company seals.

From this point on, Lin Feng officially became the nominal major shareholder of Bilibili. If all went as planned, in two years, he would receive 30% of the shares along with the accumulated dividend income from those two years, becoming the true major shareholder of Bilibili.

"Since the betting agreement has been signed, let's all take a look at my profit development plan."

As Lin Feng spoke, Qu Qiongying distributed several multi-page documents to everyone present, who then began to read them carefully.

It was worth mentioning that despite Bilibili's considerable achievements, the company officially had only four employees, including Xu Yi, while the number of shareholders was actually greater than the number of employees.

"As expected, there's a profit plan item for advertising?"

Upon seeing the words "advertising profit" among the various profit strategies, Xu Yi frowned.

However, remembering Lin Feng's promise not to invest heavily in advertising, he could only force himself to continue reading.

Soon, as Xu Yi saw that there was only a homepage advertisement, and the accompanying diagram clearly labeled it as "Advertisement," his opposition lessened considerably.

On the other hand, He Rui looked at the profit development plan with a deep frown.

"Mr. Lin, starting the live streaming service and reforming/expanding the support for videos in the Technology, Film and Television, Bilibili-style Skits, and Dance sections is acceptable; I strongly support these. But why are we also launching a free novel business and a short video app business? We have no connection to these businesses. Can they really make money?"

Hearing He Rui's surprised and questioning voice, and seeing his doubtful gaze, Lin Feng shook his head slightly and then smiled, saying:

"As for why we are launching a free novel business and a short video app business, let's start with the free novels."

First off, Bilibili is a website for young people, and currently, Bilibili's fans are young people who like anime.

Within this demographic, they don't just have a need to watch anime and anime-related videos; they also have a need to read novels.

After all, the worlds of anime are so captivating, who wouldn't want to imagine transmigrating into one of them to change everything?

Because of this, Bilibili is actually a perfect platform for running light novels in genres like anime fanfiction.

After all, Bilibili is naturally a gathering place for anime lovers. You could say that besides AcFun, no other website is more suited for running anime fanfiction light novels than us.
