Zhang Long has experienced all the hardships of life, gaining nothing but injuries and illnesses. He felt that his greatest contribution to society was not becoming a criminal.
From childhood...
"Holy crap, today?"
"Brother Long, why don't you just say you don't want to drink today? Why make such a fuss?"
Viewers in the bullet screen section immediately launched into a吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or ridicule) mode.
After chatting for about ten minutes, Zhang Long's main purpose was finally revealed: he wanted to advertise his milk tea shop!
"Brothers, do you know where this is behind me?"
Zhang Long asked the viewers in the live stream with a mysterious look on his face.
The comment section instantly responded in unison: "I don't know!"
He continued, "A week ago, I partnered with some friends to open a milk tea brand."
"This is my raw material processing area. Let me show you how the raw materials for milk tea are processed."
Then, the viewers saw many brand-new machines, and the production staff were all wearing full-body protective suits.
This prompted many viewers to complain, "Brother Long, we're not used to this."
"Just tell us the name, and we'll go buy it!"
"It's all the same whether you drink milk tea from different brands or not!"
Zhang Long couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the comments in the live chat.
He chatted happily with his viewers while giving them a tour of the entire factory, which was a feast for their eyes.
He also introduced another brand of his, which is specifically for wealthy people, but only mentioned it briefly.
He also emphasized the raw materials for the side dishes, all of which were from the same batch of fruit. Although the appearance was not very good, they were perfectly fine for making dried fruit and juice.
This kind of source factory really opened the eyes of these people who had never seen the world.
Once outside the production workshop, Zhang Long couldn't wait to take off his unbearably hot protective suit, flipped the camera around, and showed his viewers the large trucks loading and unloading goods outside, as well as countless forklift operators.
"Now you don't doubt my abilities, right?"
Zhang Long said smugly to his viewers in the live stream.
Next, he went to the area where his three cars were parked. "Brothers, can you guess what these cars are?"
The answers given by the viewers were varied, so Zhang Long stopped keeping them in suspense.
He ripped off the cover of the first car with a "whoosh," and wow, it was a McLaren P1!
The comment section instantly erupted, with countless comments gushing out like a volcanic eruption.
"Brother Long, do you need a nanny?"
"Brother Long, do you need someone to warm your bed?"
"Brother Long... Brother Long..."
Next, the car cover was lifted, and the Porsche 918 made a dazzling appearance in front of the group of goofballs in the live broadcast room.
...
"This is the last car. Can you guess what kind of car it is?"
There's a reward for guessing correctly!
Zhang Long said with a grin.
The comment section was flooded with "Ferrari LaFerrari".
Zhang Long gave them another chance, "Why don't you change your answer? This answer is really bothering me!"
So these goofballs thought they had guessed right and started making wishes.
This is treating Zhang Long like a turtle in a wishing well.
Finally, Zhang Long revealed the answer with an expression that said, "You guys don't even know how to use your chances."
It turns out to be a Koenigsegg CCXR.
"I was planning to do some charity work, but now I have money but nowhere to spend it, sigh!"
Zhang Long said some hurtful things in a cheeky way.
It's no wonder these netizens couldn't guess correctly; the answer was just too abstract.
The marketing of these three iconic cars in China has been so successful that it's become so deeply ingrained in people's minds, much like the alphabet. The first two letters are already familiar, but when you say the third letter is R, it just feels awkward.
After the live stream ended, he first went back to the company to handle some routine matters, and then he frantically signed documents.
I'll be based in Shanghai from now on, so the fruit company here needs to elect a general manager.
Currently, the only candidates for general manager are Li Ping, an elite from the marketing department, and Zheng Xia from the human resources department.
He was also quite troubled, mainly because both of them had their own strengths, making it really difficult to choose.
Watching Xiaoxiao watching TV and eating snacks on the sofa, he felt even more overwhelmed.
"Xiaoxiao, who do you think is more suitable to be the general manager, Li Ping or Zheng Xia?"
Su Xiaoxiao remained as steady as a mountain, only turning her head slightly to look at him.
"Zheng Xia, please!"
"Li Ping is always on the go, but Zheng Xia handles the company's daily affairs very well. Everyone in the company trusts her and she is very sensible in her work."
Xiaoxiao offered her opinion.
"What about Li Ping?"
"You're the boss, you're the one who pays her salary!"
Zhang Long suddenly slapped his forehead. He had been working like a beast of burden for too long and still hadn't changed his mindset.
Then they had someone call Zheng Xia over.
"Manager Zheng, after observing you for so long, I've decided to appoint you as the general manager of Dragon Fruit Industry. Are you confident that you can run the company well?"
Upon hearing Zhang Long's words, Zheng Xia couldn't help but tremble slightly. She quickly replied, "President Zhang, please rest assured. Under Manager Su's supervision, I will do my best to complete the task you assigned and give you a satisfactory answer."
Zhang Long continued, "The first thing you will do after taking over as general manager is to restructure the company."
"The company has established a regional system, with one large region each in the two megacities of Beijing and Shanghai, and one large region combining the areas of Guangzhou and Shenzhen."
"As for the branches in other cities, they will no longer be established as regional offices, but will be directly under the company headquarters."
"The next task is to further develop the existing areas."
"Li Ping will become the regional general manager of the Shanghai area, and will also serve as the deputy general manager at headquarters."
"You will be responsible for appointing the heads of the other two regions. I will only look at the results. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zheng Xia understood immediately; this was paving the way for her, and she was very grateful to Zhang Long.
Before long, news of the company's restructuring spread throughout all the work groups.
Upon learning that she had been transferred to Shanghai to become the regional general manager of the company's Shanghai region, Li Ping immediately slumped into a chair.
"We lost the competition!"
That was the only thought in her mind, and then she received a call from Zhang Long.
After all, he's a capable subordinate, so it's necessary to appease him.
Zhang Long wasn't stingy; he immediately gave her a raise.
Her salary increased from 50,000 to 100,000 per month, more than doubling, which was a huge boost to her morale.
She quickly regained her energy.
According to our understanding, among the three regional general managers, she is the only one who also holds the title of deputy general manager of the headquarters.
When you're out working, the most important thing is the boss's trust. Now that the boss trusts her so much, that's incredibly important!
Because Zhang Long will be stationed in Shanghai for an extended period, that's why she was transferred there.
Zhang Long tasked her with turning Shanghai into the company's biggest cash cow within two years.
