The next day, Yang Ruoqian arrived at the company 30 minutes early for the first time.

This is not because he suddenly became diligent and decided to live on the pitifully low commission from the system, but because there were too many people coming to the company for interviews in the past two days, and if they didn't arrive early, there would be severe traffic jams.

After having breakfast in the restaurant downstairs and hesitating for a few minutes, Yang Ruoqian walked into the employee elevator under the eager gazes of many people and came to his office.

Qi Mu, who always arrives at the company on time at 9 o'clock, not a minute early or late, has already got the documents and is waiting at the door of the president's office.

Seeing Yang Ruoqian coming over, she greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Yang, do you have any last minute plans this morning?"

Qi Mu is responsible for helping Yang Ruoqian with daily planning suggestions and knows his general itinerary. However, if Yang Ruoqian makes a sudden decision or has other important matters to deal with, the itinerary will naturally be dominated by Yang Ruoqian's own will.

"Nothing else." Yang Ruoqian opened the door of the president's office. "Do you have any work report?"

Qi Mu followed Yang Ruoqian into the office and opened the documents in his hand and placed them on the table.

"After you announced that you were going to host a variety show, many sponsors have contacted us, hoping to insert advertisements in the variety show or directly sponsor it."

"I have summarized the reports from the past few days. Which company would you like to cooperate with?"

Yang Ruoqian casually flipped through the document and saw that all the numbers he saw were at least nine digits. He quickly closed the document and threw it aside.

I have a weak heart and cannot bear to see these numbers.

"Why don't you tell us which sponsors you think we should choose?"

Yang Ruoqian expected to recruit only three sponsors, one as the title sponsor and two as advertisers for the drinks and snacks in the secret room.

Qi Mu was already familiar with this information, and she could recite it even if Mr. Yang threw it away: "Mr. Yang, I have selected three companies that are more suitable for the title sponsorship. The first one sells electronic products and offered 280 million, which is the highest price at the moment, but I don't think it is a good match for the show."

"The second company's initial bid was NT$250 million. They wanted to use our show to promote their electrolyte water. Overall, this company seems to be a better fit, but we should still have room to ask for a higher price."

"The third bid was relatively low, only 80 million. This sponsor is relatively weak and probably just tried their luck. Their preparations are obviously not as good as those of other businesses. Logically, I shouldn't include it...but they are a script-killing and escape room chain store. I think cooperating with them will be beneficial to the subsequent development of the Kuiguang Group's industry circle, so I also included it."

"The fourth one..."

Yang Ruoqian didn't even think about it and directly chose the one with the lowest offer: "The third one, the one that offered 80 million, quickly contact their person in charge and don't let them get away! What are their names?"

"It's called 'Oriental July' Escape Room." Qi Mu introduced it very skillfully, "They have a lot of assets and need to pay rent for many stores, so their cash flow is not that abundant."

"I'll send you their information."

While operating the phone, Qi Mu was also glad that he made the right decision.

Generally speaking, when choosing a sponsor, most people will choose the one that pays more. As long as the reputation is not so bad that everyone calls it a disaster, and the negative brand effect is greater than the economic effect, the more sponsorship fee the better.

But considering that Yang Ruoqian is an unusual boss, he may not necessarily choose the best option on paper whether it is choosing a project or an artist. There are many in-depth considerations, so Qi Mu carefully selected some sponsors whose bids were not high but might have other values.

Sure enough, Yang Ruoqian was not intimidated by the high bid like others.

Instead, they chose Oriental July Company, which offered 80 million.

Yang Ruoqian pretended to glance at the message Qi Mu sent, and nodded perfunctorily: "No problem, the naming rights will be given to this company... As for the remaining two advertising spots, one will be given to that electrolyte water, and the other will be a random low-fat snacks store."

"You don't need to quote too high a price. Tell these merchants clearly that, apart from using their brand products on variety shows, there will not be any explicit advertising. If they cannot accept it, we can switch to merchants of the same type who can accept it."

While listening to Yang Ruoqian's instructions, Qi Mu quickly connected with the management of other departments in the company to convey the boss's orders in an orderly manner.

After a few seconds, she looked up and said, "Everything has been arranged. The specific amount and the arrangement of advertising may require further discussion. Do you want to handle it yourself or let your employees handle it?"

Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and said, "Just let the employees handle it...By the way, just follow the quote, don't raise the price."

"Okay." Qi Mu nodded gently, "Boss Yang, there is also the matter of inviting guests. There are two celebrities on our invitation list who cannot come due to their own schedule. There are now a total of 8 vacant seats."

"The competition for these eight positions is very fierce. Some famous stars have taken the initiative to invite us to work with them, and some less famous contestants are willing to pay to get a position."

"I'll send you the list, would you like to take a look?"

It is very normal for some people to pay to participate in variety shows, which is equivalent to paying for exposure.

Variety shows like this with huge traffic not only require screening of ability, but even if you pass, you still have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars just to make an appearance.

Moreover, these hundreds of thousands of dollars only guarantee the ability to appear. How long one can stay in the variety show depends on subsequent performance.

Yang Ruoqian shook his head and refused: "There's no need to bother with the remaining spots. The variety show invites so many people, just to let a hundred flowers bloom."

"We select artists of all types. The purpose of variety shows is to let a hundred flowers bloom."

"Male or female, bold or timid, with good reputation or bad reputation, contracted or independent, serious or funny, mix them up however you want!"

"Don't worry about the money. Our group doesn't lack the money, and I won't put pressure on the production team for the money."

A variety show with the original intention of torturing people, plus a bunch of guests with completely different personalities, let them team up together and harm each other in a terrifying environment...

The viewing experience must be very poor.

Yang Ruoqian is actually very familiar with the routines in traditional variety shows - it is nothing more than presenting some interesting and controversial scenes to the audience through editing methods.

In this way, the core artists’ personalities are established, and then the conflicts between popular and less popular artists are filmed, deliberately pulling them down and guiding the topic.

This will increase the popularity and cause discussion on the Internet.

Yang Ruoqian is the opposite. He does the opposite of what traditional variety shows do! He doesn't pull down or pamper the celebrities, and doesn't edit out the clips where the celebrities make a fool of themselves.

Our predecessors have summarized so many valuable successful experiences, so of course Mr. Yang will make good use of them.

"Okay, Mr. Yang, I'll arrange it right away."

Yang Ruoqian nodded and said, "By the way, a young man named Guo Rang will report to the company today. After signing the contract, please call him to my office."

Young people... Every time Qi Mu heard his boss use such mature words, he felt a little distracted.

The boss himself just graduated from college not long ago, right? Even I, the secretary, am two years older than him!

Even though Kuiguang Group is a very young group, Yang Ruoqian's age is far below the average.

Qi Mu picked up the document that Yang Ruoqian had thrown aside: "Okay, Mr. Yang, I'll let you know when he arrives at the company."

Ten minutes after the secretary left the office, Guo Rang, who looked a little messy yesterday, walked into the office in formal attire, serious and solemn.

"Good morning, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Ruoqian nodded: "I told you yesterday that your idea is good, but many details are not well considered."

The young man's attitude was very good: "Please criticize!"

Yang Ruoqian took a sip of tea and said, "You said yesterday that your idea for the new movie was to film the autobiography of the company and me, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang!"

"Your idea of ​​making an autobiography is very good, but there is a slight misunderstanding in the content of the film." Yang Ruoqian knocked on the table, "Movies are art, and art must be exaggerated. Exaggeration means that there is a certain gap with reality."

Guo Rang understood very quickly: "Mr. Yang, you mean that the movie can be an autobiography, but we have to modify some content?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Right." Yang Ruoqian was very satisfied with the new employee's understanding. "For example, didn't you originally want to film a company that became successful thanks to the boss's genius and hard work?"

"Now we have to change it. This company has tenaciously resisted all kinds of attacks from the boss and finally succeeded at every risk."

Guo Rang: “???”

Because the boss's words contained too much information, Guo Rang spent more than ten seconds to finally understand the general meaning.

A company struggling to survive amidst the boss's attacks?!

Let’s not talk about why a boss would have such great malice towards his own company - it’s incredible that this company could succeed.

Just like the Kuiguang Group, isn't its development all due to Mr. Yang's brilliant operations and excellent judgments? If the boss is a jerk, what hope is there for the company to succeed?

How should this plot be filmed? Guo Rang knew that what Yang Ruoqian said must make sense, but he really had a lot of questions, so he could only ask tentatively: "Mr. Yang, as the boss of a company, why do you want your company to fail?"

"Are you planning to put some family feud or something like that into the movie?"

"For example, the male protagonist wants to rebel against his family's blind date arrangement, or wants to break up with his family?"

Yang Ruoqian rejected these more logical ideas: "These reasons are too old-fashioned and troublesome. They will take up a lot of movie time and are completely unnecessary. You can make up an excuse at random. Anyway, the current audience will not care too much."

Just find an excuse?

Completely disregarding logic? Guo made people feel a little dizzy: "Are you...are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Yang Ruoqian was very satisfied with his idea. "Just write the script and find a director as I said. As for the leading roles, keep two spots. I will give them as rewards to the winners of the variety show."

Give the starring role of this movie to the winner of the variety show?!

Guo Rang was startled.

This shows that Mr. Yang is absolutely confident that the movie can be a hit and is worthy of becoming a prize in such a high-profile variety show!

Mr. Yang was not kidding, he was not doing an experiment! Such an important matter was actually handed over to a newcomer who just got the contract? !

Even though he was confused, Guo Rang knew that he should listen to what people in the industry said: "Yes, Mr. Yang, I will definitely write the script according to your requirements!"

"Don't worry. There are many elements that make up a movie, and assembling a suitable team is the most important thing. When you assemble the crew, report any expenses directly to the finance department, and don't ask me."

Guo Rang stood up from his chair in a daze: "Boss Yang, I'll write it now..."

Having said that, he pushed open the office door and walked out.

Everything went smoothly today, and the boss also pointed out his own problems...

But why do I always feel that the modification plan proposed by Mr. Yang has nothing to do with his original idea? ...

Oriental July Headquarters.

The top brass of the escape room and scripted-kill chain were in a routine meeting in a conference room.

"Three stores are not doing well this month, and one store has closed." The employee in charge of reporting stood up and carefully read the content on his hand. "The operating conditions of other stores are relatively stable, but the profit margins still do not meet the ideal standards."

"The economic situation has not been good recently, and fewer people are going out to play." Another manager asked the employees to sit down and sighed, "I also did some research. Not only us, but also our competitors' performance has declined significantly. The entire industry is shrinking at the moment."

"What should we do? Organize some promotional activities? Or do some promotion online?"

"...Speaking of promotion, is there any follow-up to the cooperation invitation we sent to Kuiguang Group?"

"Don't embarrass yourself by asking for cooperation. To get the exclusive naming rights for a variety show like this, the conservative estimate is nine figures! Do we call this an invitation for cooperation? This is just a humiliation to the Kuiguang Group!"

With such a huge development cost, such a large publicity campaign, and so much exposure, a mere 80 million yuan is just to send away beggars? Although this is the greatest sincerity that Oriental July can offer, compared with other sponsors, it can only focus on participation.

"I want to give it a try too... What if something unexpected happens?"

"What if?" The middle-aged man sitting in the first seat sighed, "Will Kuiguang Group be so hard on money? Will they choose our company that offers 80 million instead of the one that offers nine figures?"

When several people were discussing tactics intensely, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

A surprised and anxious female voice came from outside: "Manager, Chairman, good news!"

"Kuiguang Group has agreed to our exclusive sponsorship!"

"They hope our top management will come over as soon as possible to discuss the details of the contract with them!" (End of this chapter)
