still have an ace up my sleeve_l

Jiang Xu suddenly remembered a joke about Tang Seng that he had read somewhere before.

The joke went like this.

Demoness: Brother Tang, if I eat this… can I really live forever without aging?

Brother Tang: Don’t talk, just eat it quickly.

As for why Jiang Xu suddenly thought of this joke.

It was just a spontaneous thought.

Jiang Xu asked An Nuonuo if she was not full from dinner, which is why she was craving something.

An Nuonuo shook her head, saying no, she wanted to try hard to get pregnant.

So, she was ‘preparing him’.

Jiang Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He thought, bro doesn’t need you to try so hard to ‘prepare me.

It seemed An Nuonuo now had a deep obsession with getting pregnant.

If it had been before, Jiang Xu would have had to coax and deceive her with

much persuasion before she’d be willing.

But now, she was taking the initiative herself.

Naturally, Jiang Xu wouldn’t say anything about it.

This kind of treatment wasn’t often available.

Now Jiang Xu actually hoped that her pregnancy could be delayed.

That way, he could enjoy this kind of treatment a bit longer.

Meanwhile, as this couple was being all lovey-dovey, Wang Junyue was seriously suffering.

He had just been brutally beaten by Jiang Xu in the morning, and now he was getting a severe thrashing from Zhang Xiaofeng.

Nothing Wang Junyue had done recently had satisfied Zhang Xiaofeng.

After finishing the beating, Zhang Xiaofeng, still not relieved, called several tall and muscular bodyguards over two meters tall to join in.

“No, stop!”

Wang Junyue let out a desperate scream.

Alas, no one could save him.

In the end, Wang Junyue was ruined and dragged away.

In the room, Zhang Xiaofeng, clad in a bathrobe, was puffing on a cigar and contemplating something.

The thick smoke billowed around him, making his face appear as if it belonged

to a demon.

The next morning.

When Jiang Xu woke up, An Nuonuo was nowhere to be seen.

The phone rang soon after.

It was from Lin Nan.

“What’s wrong, Sister Lin?”

“Over a hundred of our top authors have been poached. Half of the editors, even

the chief editor, have resigned.”

Without a doubt, it was Zhang Xiaofeng s doing.

Jiang Xu was already psychologically prepared.

Such incidents would happen frequently from now on.

“Activate that plan,” Jiang Xu said in a deep voice.

Lin Nan was taken aback for a moment, “So soon?”

Jiang Xu ‘hmmed’ in response, saying, “Let’s launch it early, so we don’t lose

too many authors.”

Although Nuomimi Novel was strong, it couldn’t ignore any competitors.

Especially someone at Zhang Xiaofeng’s level.

And Jiang Xu had long prepared a trump card, which was the Great God

Contract.

The authors on the website were currently classified from Li to L5 according to their sales income.

Starting from L4, they were considered high-level authors.

Originally, Jiang Xu was planning to introduce the Great God Contract strategy after some time.

But now, with the competitor closing in, it was time to reveal it.

After ending the call, Lin Nan immediately sprung into action.

Twenty minutes later, Nuomimi Novel and various media platforms issued an announcement.

Announcement:

Thanks to the support of many authors and readers, Nuomimi Novel has become the industry’s leader.

To better facilitate development and allow a wider range of authors to enjoy more of the fruits of their labor,

Nuomimi Novel now introduces a higher-level contract for big-name authors based on the L5 contract.

There are several features to the big-name author contract.

First, the revenue share has increased from the original 50/50 split to a 70/30 split in favor of the authors.

Second, big-name authors can enjoy the five insurances and one housing fund paid by the website.

Third, as long as a big-name author’s work doesn’t contain any violations, they are guaranteed to be able to sell the copyright.

Fourth, the website will assist big-name authors in joining the local writers’ association.

When this announcement was released, not only the authors of Nuomimi

Novel were stirred,

but even many authors from other sites were tempted.

Being a big-name author is like adding a halo to your identity.

It gives you both income and social status.

The authors who had just been poached were beating their chests and stomping their feet in regret.

It felt like they had missed out on several hundred million.

But now that they had just signed new contracts, it was highly unlikely for them to return.

The release of this announcement led to over a thousand authors from other sites rushing to Nuomimi Novel to start new books.

Even if the competitors came up with something similar, they didn’t have the same reputation as Nuomimi Novel.

Perhaps they could attract a batch of authors with high prices again, but those with foresight, intending to engage in this industry for the long term, would surely choose to stay at Nuomimi Novel.

After all, it is the leader in the field with brighter prospects.

Furthermore, the launch of the big-name author contract also showed the website’s respect and emphasis on authors as a resource.

After all,

besides wanting to earn money, people also want to feel valued and respected.

Time flew by without notice, and it was January 29th.

Only nine days were left until the New Year.

And the struggle between Jiang Xu and Zhang Xiaofeng had reached a fever pitch.

Firstly, in the entertainment companies, more than 70% had been indirectly or directly acquired by him.

In the realm of novels, he had acquired more than twenty companies of various sizes.

Nuomimi Novel’s market share now stood at 59%, while Zhang Xiaofeng’s holdings combined made up 40%.

Whether in film or novels, Zhang Xiaofeng employed the same tactic.

That was a price war.

Take movies, for example.

A film released by one of Jiang Xu’s companies would have a ticket price of thirty yuan.

Zhang Xiaofeng would then set his at just fifteen yuan.

The same went for novels.

While the industry standard was five mao for a thousand words, Zhang Xiaofeng offered five mao for two thousand words.

And he advertised aggressively.

As a result, many customers defected to his side for consumption.

That’s how it is in China.

As long as the quality difference isn’t too great between the two choices, people will naturally go for the cheaper option.

This caused Jiang Xu’s entertainment industry profits to plummet by more than half recently.

A lot of people in the company were getting anxious, fearing the company could collapse and go bankrupt at any time.

Lin Nan called again, “Jiang Xu, what do we do now? The company is going to go public after the New Year.

With significant drops in profits and daily actives, it’s greatly affecting our

IPO.”

Jiang Xu replied gravely, “Don’t worry, I have a plan to deal with this. Just wait another two days.”

After calming Lin Nan, Jiang Xiaoyan called in.

She got straight to the point, “I’ve found out what you asked me to investigate. Zhang Xiaofeng has teamed up with over a hundred domestic billionaires with net worths over ten billion yuan.

That’s why he has so much capital to set this up and wage a price war against US.”

“Indeed impressive,” Jiang Xu sighed, “He is a formidable opponent. Got it, thanks. I’ll treat you to a meal after this is all over.”

Jiang Xiaoyan: “I don’t want a meal, I want your…”

Jiang Xu: “Scram!”

After ending the call, Jiang Xu summoned Ally and said, “We can start with that plan now.”
