If everyone is reborn, who will work for capital?

Chapter 74 Great minds think alike

Geng Zhi tells a story from a "dream".

But for Li Haipeng, who had been scammed on a dating platform before, the feelings of frustration, anger, and being fooled were so real that he instantly resonated with them.

Hearing Geng Zhi's heartfelt, even somewhat idealistic, words at this moment, the chivalrous spirit and sense of justice that had been almost worn down by reality in his heart were instantly rekindled.

"Boss, no question, I'm willing to do it!" Li Haipeng straightened his back. "Just tell me what you need me to do!"

Geng grinned and patted his arm: "There really is a tricky task, and only you, President Li, can handle it. You have the most experience in this matter."

"Boss, don't expose my shortcomings... What mission? Infiltrating behind enemy lines?" Li Haipeng joked.

"More or less." Geng Zhi looked around and then said:

"Find one or two absolutely trustworthy and quick-witted people, or you can do it yourself. Change your identity and try it out on a few mainstream dating websites. The goal is to legally collect information on marriage scams, bar scams, restaurant scams, and various emotional fraud tactics, scripts, and evidence."

"I will try to contact the School of Social Sciences at National Chiao Tung University to try and get a substantial industry white paper..."

Over the next ten minutes, Geng Zhi meticulously explained his undercover plan and the dimensions of information he needed to gather to Li Haipeng.

Li Haipeng listened very attentively, nodding frequently and adding several effective investigation details and key points for preventing rollovers based on his own experience.

But when discussing CCTV's 3.15 Gala, Li Haipeng couldn't help but raise a concern: "Boss, CCTV... we can't control them. Can they follow our lead?"

"It all depends on human effort. As long as we have solid and representative material, and we seize the right opportunity, we'll always have a chance." Geng Zhi said calmly, "At the very least, we need to prepare our ammunition first."

"Hmm, that makes sense." Although Li Haipeng wasn't entirely confident, he still nodded in agreement.

After discussing the undercover operation, the atmosphere between the two relaxed considerably, and they began to discuss in detail the future development plans for "Chung Kong University Matchmaker".

Unbeknownst to them, they had strolled from the science and technology park all the way to the teaching area of ​​Jiaotong University.

"Boss, why does that publicity director from Jiangsu TV insist on meeting with CEO Ma Chunmei? Do they naturally assume that Ma Chunmei is the person in charge of our company?" Li Haipeng asked.

"I agree with President Li's guess. They must have found Ma Chunmei's information through public channels."

"But I just can't figure it out. What could Jiangsu TV have to do with our company?" Li Haipeng shook his head, utterly puzzled.

"I guess it's probably because their new show has the same name as our 'If You Are the One'," Geng Zhi said, pretending to ponder.

"Name clash? Boss, you mean...?"

"Yesterday, when I was searching for news about our 'If You Are the One' event online, I unexpectedly came across a program advertisement from Jiangsu TV. They will be launching a dating show called 'If You Are the One'."

"What a coincidence! The TV station also has this name!" Li Haipeng exclaimed in surprise. "This proves once again how wise the boss was to change our event name from 'Singles Dating Exercise' to 'If You Are the One'!"

Geng Zhi frowned slightly and glanced at Li Haipeng briefly: "Mr. Li, I don't like people who flatter others. I remember you never flattered anyone before either."

"Yeah! I wasn't good at flattering people, but after hanging out with the boss for a while, I learned how to do it," Li Haipeng said with a wicked smile.

"No, when have I ever flattered anyone?" Geng Zhi really didn't think he was the type of person who would flatter someone.

"Pengxiang said you're really good at flattering Professor Jin... Song Qing said you're really good at flattering your Professor Qi..."

upright:"……?"

After exchanging a few casual words, Li Haipeng's smile faded, and he said seriously, "So, this Lin Zixia is probably someone from the 'If You Are the One' program team."

"I agree with President Li's judgment," Geng Zhi guessed. "So this time, she probably didn't come to offer an olive branch for cooperation, but rather to force us to change the name of the event."

"Uh... if that's the case, given the power of their TV station, we'll have no choice but to compromise in the end, right?" Li Haipeng said. "Our 'If You Are the One' brand has already been established. If we really change the name, it might have a significant impact on us."

At this moment, Li Haipeng has begun to consciously or unconsciously elevate his own status.

"President Li is right, so not only can we not compromise, but we must also seize the opportunity to further enhance our reputation through cooperation with the TV station," Geng Zhi said with a smile.

"How... how do we seize the opportunity?" Li Haipeng thought for a moment but couldn't come up with any ideas.

"What a coincidence," Geng Zhi said with a mischievous grin. "You remember when I consulted a professional about trademarks last time, right?"

"To prevent our program from infringing on Huayi Brothers' rights in the future, I registered the trademark 'If You Are the One' in my personal name in advance, and I just received the 'Trademark Registration Application Acceptance Notice' a few days ago."

"Huh?" Li Haipeng pondered for seven or eight seconds before continuing, "Does the boss mean... if the TV station broadcasts the 'If You Are the One' program, it will infringe on our 'Jiaotong University Matchmaker' trademark rights?"

"It's not an infringement of 'Jiaotong University Matchmaker's' rights, it's an infringement of my personal rights as Geng Zhi. The trademark belongs to me personally," Geng Zhi corrected.

"Oh, I see. Boss, you have a brilliant idea!" Li Haipeng flattered him again, then asked, "Boss, what did you mean by cooperating with the TV station earlier?"

"We have a large pool of highly educated college students in Shanghai, and we can strive to become a supplier of high-quality single college students for the program."

Geng then shared his plan with Li Haipeng to recommend suitable girls like Wang Qinqin to the program team, which once again drew praise from Li Haipeng.

As he listened, Li Haipeng's eyes lit up.

"Then we can put on a show together!" Li Haipeng suggested. "I'll meet with her first, play the good cop, stall for time, and once things are right, you, boss, can go out and play the bad cop. Maybe that way we can actually get a collaboration opportunity!"

This idea perfectly aligned with what Geng Zhi had in mind.

Just as Geng Zhi was about to say "great minds think alike," Li Haipeng's phone rang. It was Shu Beibei calling.

"President Li, something's happened!" Shu Beibei's voice on the other end of the phone was clearly annoyed.

"I just got news that an organization called 'Fudan Matchmaker' has sprung up at Fudan University! Its operating model and activity process are almost identical to our 'Jiaotong University Matchmaker'!"
