Chapter 1537: Conversation with the White Whale

Chapter 1537: Chapter 1537: Conversation with the White Whale


The response from White Whale appeared ten minutes later. It was clearly someone else.


"I am the Executive President of White Whale Live. May I ask your name?"


Lin Heihu typed a line directly, "You are not qualified... Maybe you don’t believe it, but I do wish to get along well with people."


The other side didn’t dilly-dally and directly asked, "How many days can Funiu shut down, and will the legal representative be imprisoned?"


Lin Heihu answered without hesitation, "I have all those answers, but it’s not that I look down on you... Do you have the qualification to ask?"


He emerged from the Incense Offering Deity System, and was all too familiar with the concept of "strict hierarchy."


Three minutes later, the other side sent another line, "I am Si Xiaowang, the actual controller of White Whale Live. I want to know the truth."


Lin Heihu hesitated for a moment, but Gao Qiang had already grabbed the tablet and typed a line, "What you wish to obtain, you may not necessarily get it in the end. If you are Si Xiaowang, you really aren’t qualified to act all high and mighty. About the homepage recommendation in the afternoon... Are you giving it or not?"


The other side was quite straightforward as well, "Sure, it’s just a word. If you had said so earlier, I would have given it earlier. But boss, you have to let me understand, who am I granting this favor to?"


Gao Qiang hesitated for a moment and still called Feng Jun using the walkie-talkie, "Boss, Si Xiaowang of White Whale wants to know whose favor he is granting... How should I answer this?"


He certainly had many firm responses ready, but this wasn’t... didn’t know what the boss was thinking?


"Brother Gao, you don’t need to answer," Yu Qingzhu’s voice came through the walkie-talkie, "Just tell him to reflect in the detention center and he will understand... Looks like it was still too lenient."


"Xiao Yu, don’t be so impatient," Yang Yuxin’s voice also came through, she calmly stated, "If he truly remains clueless, or can’t inquire about it, then even if his family is unlucky, that’s their problem."


The Si Family, in Huaxia, is quite a formidable force. Think about it, back when Yu Qingzhu almost invested in White Whale Live, and later, White Whale Live rose strongly, directly challenging Funiu Live for the top spot—it wasn’t by chance.


Beauty Lin, who was eavesdropping, hummed coldly, "Si Xiaowang... Has the Si Family been too smooth lately and gotten a little arrogant?"


Over the past twenty years, the Si Family has indeed developed well, although compared to the past, their status is still far behind that of Yang Yuxin’s family, the Jin City Yang Family. However, every age has its elite, each leading the trend for a few hundred years, a common law of nature’s development.


While the descendants of other families were uninspired, barely maintaining their status, the Si Family produced talents, which is beyond debate.


The Si Family’s foundation is a bit thin, but they’re making a lot of money now, so their reputation is quite loud.


Beauty Lin, working in this kind of special field, made her information extremely well-informed, and since she is also from a distinguished background, she essentially wasn’t greatly impressed by the Si Family—back then, my family wasn’t much worse than yours. Now you’ve risen up, in the future, I can too.


So now, mentioning the Si Family, she felt no reverence.


Yet... whether she has reverence or not, it makes no difference to Luohua—she can only eavesdrop, without the right to speak.


Gao Qiang put down the walkie-talkie, tapped a line on the tablet again, "If you are indeed Si Xiaowang and can’t even find out this bit of information, it’s truly disappointing."


What status does Si Xiaowang hold? Putting other things aside, at the very least, he is one of the major backers behind White Whale Live. For him to lower his stance and seriously ask a small streamer a question is already giving considerable face, yet the other party dared to respond like this?


In the end, he restrained himself and instructed Xiao Wen to type another line, "I usually don’t concern myself with trivial matters. If you can tell me directly, the homepage’s top banner recommendation will be yours now."


Gao Qiang pondered for a while and decided to give the other side a chance, "It’s really because Funiu was being too unreasonable, not only shutting down my stream but also threatening me... A friendly reminder, my stream is about cancer care."


"I know about your cancer care," Si Xiaowang impatiently replied, then paused.


Xiao Wen quickly typed these few words, turning to look at the boss—should it be sent like this?


Unexpectedly, he saw the boss in a thoughtful pose.


When Si Xiaowang arrived, he had a rough understanding of this livestream, knowing it was about promoting cancer care. However, he didn’t care much—there are so many people nowadays deceiving with health products, along with various nasal, proctology hospitals, and such.


He didn’t think the other party could actually provide cancer care, but it wasn’t his concern, because there are too many fools, not enough scammers, one willing to hit, one willing to bear, if the Official Government doesn’t care, why should the platform care?


But now, seeing the words "cancer care," he felt a vague sense of familiarity.


He pondered for about half a minute and then took out his mobile phone to make a call, "Third Brother, you mentioned earlier that a cancer patient was cured. Where was that place that specializes in treating cancer, and does it have any background?"


Third Brother answered without hesitation, "The place is in Zhengyang, called Luohua Manor. They can cure cancer, and there’s Imperial Secret Police standing guard outside. They are their own background, what other background do they need?"


After a pause, he added, "But reportedly, Yu Boss from Funiu has always been very supportive, and the Gu Family seems to pay attention too."


"Funiu’s boss Yu?" Si Xiaowang was taken aback, "The old one or the young one?"


"Brother, the way you say it," San’er chuckled awkwardly from the other side, "does it make any difference?"


"True enough, thanks," Si Xiaowang hung up the phone and looked at Xiao Wen, "Delete this line of text and type these two characters..."


Gao Qiang saw the other party pause for a moment and typed "口俞," then he laughed and swiped his finger, "I’m not exactly sure who did it, but mentioning it, Funiu is being a bit too much, and you, White Whale, are also kind of excessive."


Si Xiaowang had already pulled up the other party’s IP from the backend—it was indeed in Zhengyang.


Then he replied to them, "I’m working on the banner now, it’ll be up in a bit. Someone from White Whale went too far? I’ll investigate immediately."


Si Xiaowang’s current capability mainly lies in financial power, though he has a lot of friends too.


While instructing people to find out what his platform had done, he made phone calls to connect with others.


Yu Qingzhu had mentioned before that White Whale once invited her to invest, indicating Si Xiaowang could find someone to relay the message to her.


The person relaying the message quickly returned with feedback, "Mr. Si, she said she herself calls Luohua’s boss ’big brother,’ and even the old man has to stay at their place. You not giving her face, she might surprise you a little."


"Give me a surprise?" Si Xiaowang sneered, but eventually changed his tone, "This little girl, I didn’t know a damn thing about it."


After hanging up the phone, the situation on White Whale’s side was also investigated—nothing new, the platform wants to force them to sign a long-term contract.


Signing a long-term contract can barely be explained, but threatening to shut down the live room is quite vicious.


Those responsible were still full of grievances, "We couldn’t have known, a great deity runs to the platform to play live streaming, isn’t this tricking us?"


Si Xiaowang felt like he had been fooled too, but he remained expressionless, "Those livestreaming may not be the deities, it’s the deities willing to prop him up that’s important... What other unscrupulous acts did you do? Better confess quickly, if you end up inside, I’m not saving you."


Lin Heihu and Gao Qiang waited for a while, and the other side sent a new message.


"I’ve looked into it, it’s a guild colluding with our staff, trying to encroach on your interests. We are investigating the employee and will surely fire them; we may also pursue other responsibilities legally. What kind of compensation do you need?"


The live streaming platform and guilds... too many shady dealings within, no need to stretch words here, Gao Qiang and Lin Heihu don’t understand anyway.


However, they didn’t understand live streaming platforms but they understood human nature. Gao Qiang quickly typed a line of text, "Haha, temporary workers? If that’s all you can commit to, it’s really disappointing."


After ordering that message, Si Xiaowang planned to leave. The so-called compensation was just bargaining, no need for him to fuss over it.


But seeing the reply, he couldn’t help but shake his head with a chuckle, "Really damn unjust, ask for his mobile phone number, I’ll explain personally."


The result "Cancer Is No Match for Tiger" replied, "My phone is monitored 24 hours, are you sure you want to call?"


Then another line popped out, "Actually, our conversation is probably under surveillance too."


"This damn thing," Si Xiaowang again felt like he’d been fooled, he chuckled and shook his head, "Tell him, a homepage banner recommendation, give him a week’s push... we can negotiate if he wants money too."


The other party’s reply was swift, "Knowing who I am, don’t bother mentioning money, even Bill Gates in my boss’s eyes is a poor scoundrel. We don’t need a seven-day recommendation, half a day weekly is fine."


Gao Qiang was fairly knowledgeable about advertising, given many fake traditional medicine practitioners advertise through false ads, so he understands the effect of ads quite well—even continuous seven-day advertising doesn’t work well, people nowadays hate saturated bombardment.


The eyeball economy focuses on attracting clients, not confronting them, so he opted for half a day weekly.


Smart choice! Si Xiaowang rarely handles specific company matters, yet he knows the opposite choice isn’t wrong, but he’s somewhat unsatisfied, "Won’t it take fourteen weeks to advertise this way? Isn’t that too long?"


The loyal office assistant quickly conveyed his opinion.


And "Cancer Is No Match for Tiger’s" response was odd, he actually asked, "What fourteen weeks?"


The office assistant quickly replied, "Seven days of recommendation, half a day weekly, needing fourteen weeks, the cycle’s too long."


"Cancer Is No Match for Tiger’s" answer was quick too, "I’m talking about half a day weekly, that’s the entire requirement."


The office assistant bewilderedly typed a symbol, "?"


Cancer Is No Match for Tiger: "That’s the entire requirement, there is no issue of duration."
