Chapter 177: Courtesy and Friendship
In the office, Lin Cao, who was preparing to sign the next artist, was on the phone with a puzzled look on his face: "Oh, oh. Let's talk about cooperation, right? Sure... What, the location is in the swimming pool?!"
"Okay, fine."
Lin Cao hung up the phone in confusion.
What's wrong with this guy? Why should he talk about business in the swimming pool?
And why did he call me to discuss business instead of making an appointment with the front desk first? Since he came to work at Kuiguang Group, Lin Cao hasn't received similar calls for a long time - usually things are conveyed through the front desk, instead of calling me directly.
Weird.
However, I'd better report this matter to Mr. Yang first.
Lin Cao picked up his phone, opened the chat box with Yang Ruoqian, and sent a message: "Boss Yang, are you free now? Just now, someone claiming to be from Hongyao Company said that he wanted to discuss some cooperation with us. What do you think?"
As soon as the message was sent, Yang Ruoqian replied: "Rejected."
Yang Ruoqian was not holding a grudge - he had long forgotten the inexplicable phone call on Friday night. He refused to cooperate simply because he didn't want to make so much money anymore.
The money earned from live streaming sales is already enough to make people anxious, and now there is an inexplicable partner to make things difficult for themselves? Lin Cao replied: "Okay... But Mr. Yang, he seems to have applied for a gym membership at our swimming pool. I don't know what that means."
Yang Ruoqian, who was just trying to get some free stuff from the system, had almost lost his memory of the long-abandoned swimming pool project. "What swimming pool fitness card?"
Lin Cao: "It's the swimming pool fitness card with a membership fee of 126,000 yuan. The person over there directly applied for one."
Yang Ruoqian, who was sitting in the office looking for the next artist, was completely stunned.
I remember that at that time, in order to cope with the task of expanding the system, Yang Ruoqian built a swimming pool and set an outrageous membership price of more than 120,000 yuan. From its opening to now, no one has come to apply for a membership, and it has become a pure employee benefit.
Now there are people who are being fooled and spend money to get a card?
Are you sick? If you want to exercise, you can run around the park twice. Why not do something else with 120,000 yuan? Although compared with the current profit of the company, 120,000 yuan is nothing, but this is not a matter of amount, but a matter of attitude.
If someone dares to apply for a membership card worth RMB 120,000 yuan without my consent today, he will dare to transfer a huge sum of RMB 100 million into the company account tomorrow.
Yang Ruoqian was so angry that his teeth itched. He typed, "Forget it. Go meet him and see what he wants from us."
"Okay, Mr. Yang, please wait a moment."
After replying this sentence, Lin Cao put away his phone, straightened his clothes, walked into the elevator, and pressed the button to the swimming pool.
Even Lin Cao, who came from a large group, was enlightened this time - he didn't expect that there would actually be people who would spend this much money to get a card.
Until now, Lin Cao is still confused about what project this man named Qi Zhang wants to discuss.
bite……
The elevator door opened, Lin Cao picked up his employee card, swiped it at the swimming pool access control, and the revolving gate opened.
At the same time, a loud voice came from a certain direction of the swimming pool.
"Manager Lin, this way!"
Lin Cao turned his head and saw a man in swimming trunks, with wet hair and water all over his body, walking towards him. He was waving as he walked, as if he was afraid that others would not be able to find him.
As a result, an extremely funny scene appeared in the swimming pool.
A man in a suit and a man in swimming trunks were staring at each other in the swimming pool, and both of them fell into deep silence.
Qi Zhang, who had done a lot of analysis and thought that Boss Kui Guang might like to exercise while talking about business, was stunned when he saw Lin Cao wearing a suit and leather shoes.
The scene that Qi Zhang imagined was: he and Kui Guang's big boss were working out together, they chatted and exchanged a few pleasantries, and after the conversation got going, they handed each other a glass of water, wiped the sweat off his face, and then had a sauna with their bare chests.
Go to a fancy restaurant for dinner and drinks…
The deal was initially concluded while they were chatting and laughing.
Then they would find another time to formally visit each other, and the two of them would discuss the contents of the contract in a serious manner. Finally, after a fierce battle, they would sign a contract that satisfied both parties.
As for the card application fee, that is of course a “commission”.
But now, the scenario that Qi Zhang imagined in his mind was stuck at the first step.
There is no such thing as a big leader with a towel on his back and big shoulders!
How do you explain why someone came to the swimming pool in formal clothes? Lin Cao was even more speechless... Seeing the person who came to discuss business wearing only big shorts, Lin Cao's young heart was deeply shocked.
What is going on? Where am I?
What am I going to do? Oh, yes, I'm here to discuss business.
No matter what we talk about, at least we should talk with clothes on, right?
Lin Cao finally sorted out the thoughts in his mind and asked in a rather difficult tone: "How about you put on your clothes first and we go to the company to talk?"
Qi Zhang, who was already socially dead, was so embarrassed that he wanted to dive into the water and drown himself. When he heard the other party giving him a way out, he immediately nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, okay, wait for me for a few minutes!"
After saying that, he rushed into the locker room as if escaping.
…
In the afternoon, Yang Ruoqian left work an hour early.
He had already completed half of the plan to restrict live streaming sales, and seeing that the remaining half would not be completed in an hour, Yang Ruoqian simply gave himself an hour off.
As soon as he parked the car, Yang Ruoqian received a message from Lin Cao on his mobile phone.
"Boss Yang, that man's name is Qi Zhang. He's an agent at Hongyao Agency. He wants to get a role for his actor in a new movie. As for the swimming pool card, he said it's a gift for you. It's a token of his love..."
Can you give me the gift next time? The gift is small but the sentiment is great. Who are you trying to fool? Yang Ruoqian was so angry that he replied, "Just give him a small role with almost no scenes and no other conditions. Just give him 240,000 yuan for the film, not a penny more or less. Don't cooperate with this company in the future."
Like to make money for me?
Then spend it all back intact.
As for the role... Yang Ruoqian doesn't really like people who don't think about fair competition and always do crooked things.
He could have made an appointment at the front desk and followed the formal process, but he insisted on going around it, which shows that Qi Zhang also knew that his artist's acting skills were not good enough.
Putting down the phone, Yang Ruoqian walked to the door and suddenly saw an exquisite cloth bag hanging on the door handle. Inside was a brand new Zuwei phone, which also came with a slightly fancy phone case.
A note was stuck in the bag with a line of beautiful handwriting on it.
Yang Ruoqian tore off the note with some surprise and took a quick look at it.
"Landlord, this is a gift for you. I played arcade games for a whole day to get it (although the prize was given by the company, hehe). And the phone case is made by me, the only one in the world! It's not very valuable, but the thought is great~"
"Finally, I would like to thank the landlord for taking care of me and wish the landlord a prosperous business - Shang Qianyu."
