The Xu family went bankrupt, and Xu Yao was heavily indebted. Everyone said that her rich fiancé Shen Yan was Xu Yao's last straw.
Three years later, Xu Yao, however, proactively propose...
074: Let’s buy that piece of land!
"Sister Xu Yao, we are considered successful, right?"
Every time Xiaoling refreshes her phone, her heart flutters.
So nervous!
Xiaoling was afraid that this failure would undermine Xu Yao's confidence in switching to the Huahu short video platform, and she was also worried that the money Xu Yao spent on buying traffic would be wasted, so she was always paying attention to the changes in video data.
Xu Yao's eyes were also red from staying up late.
I glanced at my phone and saw a new message from Lin Meixian.
——No matter what time, her mother always supports her.
Xu Yao called Lin Meixian back directly: "Hasn't the dowry been given? Why does it make sense to add to it again and again? Keep your money for yourself. I have money here to use!"
Actually, I have no money.
But it doesn’t matter. The video is so popular that Xu Yao knows that she will make money soon.
Xu Yao and Xiaoling discussed for several days before carefully finalizing the content of the first video after switching to Huahu. Drawing a self-portrait with cosmetics is not only to show Xu Yao's talent, but also related to the field that Xu Yao has been deeply engaged in. However, it is different from the dressing style on social media platforms. It is Xu Yao's transformation.
Xu Yao is well aware of the characteristics of cosmetics products from different brands.
Some of the products were ones Xu Yao had used before, while others she had been trying intensively recently.
After chatting with Lin Meixian for a while, Xu Yao finally had time to reply to Xiaoling: "I think it's a success. Send the video to the promotional contacts of each brand that appeared in the video and see who will contact me first."
"good!"
Xiaoling is full of energy.
Of course, Xu Yao would not accept a lot of promotions immediately after her first video became popular. She would use similar videos to repeatedly consolidate her own personality, let all her fans see her understanding of makeup, and then start to monetize.
Xu Yao had already received congratulations from Tangtang and others on her mobile phone.
Tangtang also teamed up with a few friends to add fuel to the fire for Xu Yao. They all used their own accounts to repost Xu Yao's videos!
Xu Yao replied to all the congratulatory messages on her phone, feeling warm inside.
Xu Yao no longer keeps in touch with her old plastic friends, but she has made new friends.
Xiaoling is still contacting cosmetics brands and has received calls from several MCN agencies. Some of them have contacted Xu Yao before, and some are contacting Xu Yao for the first time. They all gave Xu Yao better signing conditions.
MCN agencies have sharper noses than dogs. They help contracted internet celebrities to collect data every day. Apart from the platforms themselves, these MCN agencies are the ones who can best analyze the value of video data.
An internet celebrity like Xu Yao, who has the potential to become a big hit, has not yet signed a contract with the company. This is a mistake made by all MCN companies!
"Each company's contract terms are better than the other's... 'Jiale Media' also sent a message saying the contract fee can be negotiated in person..."
Xiaoling was yelling while reading the news, but she did not ask Xu Yao whether she wanted to sign a contract with the MCN agency.
Xiaoling already knows that Xu Yao wants to be her own boss!
The MCN agency’s visit further confirmed that Xu Yao’s new video had indeed gone viral. Xu Yao was in a very good mood and walked lightly. She urgently needed someone to share her joy. After thinking about it, she sent a message to Gu Jun: What time do you get off work today? I’ll treat you to dinner... Thank you for your advice, it’s very useful!
…
"That kid Chen Yan is coming to visit me. Do you think I should meet him?"
Jiang Zhiyan waved his phone in front of Gu Jun.
Gu Jun didn't even bother to look at him, "Aren't you going to give a lecture? You can talk to Chen Yan first."
Jiang Zhiyan sneered, "What am I going to tell him? Maybe that old fox Shen Zhongjun arranged for him to get information. He's so hypocritical pretending to admire me. Don't I know how capable I am?"
Gu Jun didn't know what to say for a moment.
He wanted to criticize Jiang Zhiyan, but this guy was so self-deprecating that Gu Jun couldn't bear to hear it: "Don't belittle yourself. You are still much better than Chen Yan."
Jiang Zhiyan chuckled: "That's true, even if I was at the same level as Shen Yan before, we were on a different platform, and now Shen Yan is indeed far behind me!"
After laughing for a while, Jiang Zhiyan asked Gu Jun whether he wanted to buy the land recommended by Shen Zhongjun.
"To be honest, I didn't want to buy it at first. There's definitely no good thing about being associated with the Shen family. But then I went to the site twice and saw that the land is absolutely perfect for building the Huahu Building... How about you reconsider it?"
Gu Jun smiled, "Who has been telling me that Xu Yao has bad intentions? That piece of land was recommended by Shen Zhongjun, and it used to belong to the Xu family. Aren't you worried about any problems?"
Jiang Zhiyan coughed dryly twice. "People are people, land is land. As long as the formalities are completed, who can use the land to cheat us? We are not developing real estate projects to make money, we want to build a building for our own use!"
Huahu has developed very fast in the past two years.
If the headquarters is to be located in the south city, a comprehensive building must be available. Now Huahu is renting other people's office buildings, which is barely enough. If it continues to expand, it will be difficult to find a suitable building.
Jiang Zhiyan had repeatedly investigated the land recommended by Shen Zhongjun. Apart from the fact that the auction was delayed a bit, Jiang Zhiyan could not find any contradictions.
He doesn't care whether this piece of land was intentionally hidden by someone. With Huahu's current scale, if it wants to settle down in Nancheng completely, the relevant departments in Nancheng will also actively help Huahu acquire this piece of land. It will be difficult for other buyers to compete with Huahu!
The more Jiang Zhiyan thought about it, the more excited he became. "Why don't we just buy it? It's just a piece of land, there's no need to be so timid!"
Before Gu Jun could say anything, Xu Yao sent a new message.
Xu Yao said she would treat him to a meal to thank him for his useful advice.
Gu Jun could feel Xu Yao's joy.
Gu Jun watched Xu Yao's latest video several times. He gave Xu Yao some suggestions, and Xu Yao turned the suggestions into a video that could be implemented.
——She is really smart and talented!
No one knows the users of Huahu's short video platform better than Gu Jun. Xu Yao can't cater to everyone, but she's chosen the right path. Her target fan base is the young, attractive, and affordable women who are active on the Huahu platform. If Xu Yao can capture this group, her future prospects will be bright.
"What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Zhiyan came forward.
Gu Jun held his phone upside down. "I'm not laughing. I just thought of something happy, okay? If you want to buy that piece of land, just buy it. Like you said, it's just a piece of land. We'll go through the normal procedures and buy it. No one can make a fuss about this."
Just a piece of land.
No matter whether Shen Zhongjun is trying to show goodwill or deliberately setting a trap, when Huahu has enough capital, it will be able to crush all of Shen Zhongjun's plans!
After getting Gu Jun's permission, Jiang Zhiyan immediately got ready to prepare for the auction. After Jiang Zhiyan left, Gu Jun seriously replied to Xu Yao's WeChat: It's okay if it can be of some use. If you treat me, can I choose the place to eat?
