Chapter 143: Mr. Yang, who is deep-minded, is really scary
"What's the purpose of Mr. Yang doing this?" Director An Zhou asked curiously after eating a piece of crispy mutton.
All the senior executives of Chengyu Group, including Cheng Fei, were silent for a moment.
He just gave away tens of millions of yuan with just one sentence, most of whom were extras and extras with short contracts. They might not have the chance to meet again in the future. What was the point of doing this? "Could it be that Mr. Yang was just too happy at the moment and spent a lot of money to celebrate?" Xu Lenian guessed.
As a big boss who provides such good benefits to his employees, it is understandable that he would spend some money when he is in a good mood.
"Impossible." Cheng Fei denied it immediately without hesitation. "Look, Yang Ruoqian has a unique style of doing things, but everything he does has a purpose. Such a person would not reduce the company's profits by 10 million just because of a momentary excitement."
Such a deep-minded boss, who even the person in charge of the connection could think of choosing Shao Yiqi, is driven by reason in everything he does and will not act impulsively like most people.
An Zhou also agreed with Cheng Fei's statement: "Moreover, President Yang obviously had a premonition that "The Dragon Son-in-law" would become a hit, and even his surprise was faked for us to see. The statement that he was 'too happy for a while' is not true at all."
But why did he do this?
The three of them were silent.
Cheng Fei suddenly spoke up: "Tell me, is Yang Ruoqian doing this for us to see?"
"Do it for us to see?" An Zhou and Xu Lenian asked at the same time.
Isn't the cooperation between the two sides very pleasant and smooth? What else needs to be done? Suddenly, An Zhou seemed to have thought of something and put down the food in his hand: "Could it be that Mr. Yang is showing us their sincerity and their strength?"
The more he thought about it, the more An Zhou felt that his guess was correct.
Almost every time there was a disagreement between the two companies, Kui Guang chose to give up his interests at the first opportunity to show his sincerity.
Every time Yang Ruoqian met them, every move he made showed his confidence.
And today, giving away the profits he had just made in front of all of them was a display of strength.
"You mean, Mr. Yang was so generous in our first cooperation, and acted like he didn't care about the benefits. He wanted to show his sincerity and maintain a close cooperative relationship with us in the future?"
Cheng Fei nodded slowly: "Yes, I just figured it out now... Yang Ruoqian's meaning was actually expressed very clearly a long time ago during the last meeting, but I didn't notice it."
"During the last meeting?" The screenwriter and director were both confused.
"That's right. He voluntarily gave up his rights to the IP income and used the exclusive cooperation agreement between Guan Yunpeng and us as a guarantee. But what he really meant was that he didn't care whether the web drama could make money or how much money it could make. What he cared about was the exclusive cooperation with us Chengyu." Cheng Fei explained.
The two people who were still eating were dumbfounded.
So this is what Boss Yang meant at that meeting?!
Mr. Yang did so many things and said so many words. What he wanted to express was that he didn't care about success or failure this time or twice, but wanted to have a deeper strategic cooperation with Chengyu? Are the leaders of these big companies so good at making witty remarks when they speak? There are three layers of meaning in one sentence, which makes people guess, think, and misunderstand.
Can't you just say it directly? As if seeing the doubts of his subordinates, Cheng Fei shook her head: "The reason why Yang Ruoqian was so tactful was to give both parties a way out. If we don't want to, just treat it as an ordinary cooperation. If you are willing, we can talk about it later."
"It's better than just showing all your cards and then not being able to reach an agreement, which would be awkward for both sides."
"Yang Ruoqian is indeed a very mature boss. No wonder Shao Yiqi is willing to work with him."
"If it was my father who came, he would definitely understand Yang Ruoqian's intention immediately... Although I succeeded this time, I still have a lot to learn."
Director An Zhou smiled and said, "It's already pretty good. The success of this web drama not only surprised others, but also surprised your father."
"Are you admitting that you have contact with my father?" Cheng Fei sneered.
"I swear I didn't mess up." An Zhou raised his hands. "And not only you, but also I learned a lot. It turns out that TV dramas can be filmed this way."
In fact, the fact that An Zhou was sent by Chengyu Group’s headquarters was not a secret at all, and An Zhou did not want to hide it.
What's more, he really had a clear conscience and did his best throughout the filming process without causing any trouble.
Xu Lenian finally ate his fill and sighed in satisfaction: "So, what do you say, Mr. Cheng? Should we continue to deepen our cooperation with Kui Guang?"
"Of course we have to deepen our cooperation with them." Cheng Fei glanced at her phone. "They have been successful while pioneering new ways. Aren't they our ideal partners? With such partners, we can do more with less money, instead of spending money to compete with the two giants Yuefu and Tianyue."
"What's more, we have an exclusive cooperation agreement."
Xu Lenian stretched his body and said, "Besides, this meal must have cost Mr. Yang a lot of money."
"Speaking of this meal..." Cheng Fei's eyes were dim, "Such a good dining environment, such good selection of ingredients, why have I never heard of it before?"
As one of the richest people in the area, Cheng Fei had naturally been to most of the high-end restaurants and private chefs. Even if he had not been there, he could have heard of them.
But she had never heard of the restaurant that Yang Ruoqian chose, but the ingredients were top-notch and the chef was very skilled. Even though it was served in a buffet style, the taste was almost the same as the custom-made dishes, about 80% to 90% close.
"It seems that this store has just opened."
"Write down the name and address of this restaurant, and come visit more often when you have time. They should have only prepared the buffet today because they received a reservation from Kui Guang." Cheng Fei nodded, stood up and left the box.
Xu Lenian glanced at An Zhou beside him and asked, "Do you remember the name of this store?"
"I didn't notice...it seems like they are two rare characters that are very difficult to write."
"Then just call that store. Those who know will know anyway."
"Okay, then we'll call it 'that store'."
…
On the way, Yang Ruoqian waited for the traffic light and couldn't help complaining, "Why did I go crazy and sign that exclusive cooperation agreement with Chengyu? Now I can't run away even if I want to!"
"It's over. If Chengyu wants to start a big project in the future, he will ask Guan Yunpeng for help. How much money will it cost?"
Yang Ruoqian seriously doubted whether he was mentally ill at that time. He actually took the initiative to tie a project of Kui Guang and Cheng Yu together. The most important thing is that this project was successful!
What does it mean to ask for trouble? At first, he didn't pay attention to the details. After the real thunder came, Yang Ruoqian suddenly realized what it meant to say that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.
Even if there is no income from subsequent IP development, the deep connection between the actor Guan Yunpeng and Cheng Yu alone will bring unimaginable profits to the company in the future.
The losses and damage caused to Yang Ruoqian are immeasurable.
"System, can I unilaterally breach the contract, directly tear up the exclusive cooperation agreement, and then pay a penalty for breach of contract?" Yang Ruoqian asked in his heart.
[No breach of contract by partners was detected, no non-breach of contract but passive operation by partners was detected, and no forced breach of contract had a significant positive effect on the subsequent development of the artist]
[The host is currently unable to unilaterally tear up the contract. Please negotiate with your partners and terminate the contract peacefully.]
really!
It is also against the rules to unilaterally terminate the contract and then pay liquidated damages.
Guan Yunpeng is now completely tied to Chengyu, a pirate ship with abundant resources, funds and everything else, and he can't get off! "It's okay... The subsequent IP development value of this drama is not great." Yang Ruoqian comforted himself, "Anyway, the popularity of this kind of web drama comes and goes quickly, and it won't leave much impression in the audience's mind. It's just a quick buck."
"This drama won't produce superstars, and the audience will only feel fresh for once, so it's hard to make a sequel..."
"It was just an unexpected loss. The company's overall business is still very bad!"
Yang Ruoqian calculated in his mind that with the rate of loss in his current business, by the time the settlement day came, the remaining profit of more than 10 million would probably have been lost almost entirely.
"But losing most of it is not enough... we have to lose it all completely."
“Which project I’m working on right now is the most profitable?”
Yang Ruoqian simply calculated it in his mind and found that the answer was very simple - Ruan Miner's Fish Pond Team.
Previously, because of the online drama, a big project that had high hopes, Yang Ruoqian was too busy and had no time to manage Ruan Miner's team.
Now that this largest high-quality loss-making project has become the most profitable bad-profit project, Yang Ruoqian can only turn his attention back to the e-sports team once again.
"I'm going to check on their e-sports team tomorrow to see if they can upgrade their equipment or if they need any reinforcements..."
In fact, it is very expensive for e-sports teams to recruit players, because the annual salary of strong e-sports players can easily reach millions or even tens of millions.
However, these players are generally not for sale, and even if they are transferred, they are transferred between top teams.
Once entering the secondary league, the salaries of e-sports players can be said to drop drastically.
The idea of increasing the e-sports team's spending by recruiting players is correct, but at the current stage, the efficiency of losing money is not fast enough.
"The e-sports team is not fast enough... and Ruan Min'er's team may not have much need for personnel replacement."
The goal of losing 16 million in a short period of time is very difficult to achieve relying solely on this project.
As for the anchor section, we don’t see much potential for optimization for now.
“We have to find the next artist as soon as possible!”
Beep beep! A horn suddenly sounded from behind, and Yang Ruoqian realized that the red light had turned green without him noticing.
With a step on the accelerator, Yang Ruoqian sped away.
