Chapter 197: Mr. Yang's foolproof plan
Yang Ruoqian and Yan Jinyu said goodbye at the airport, and it was already 12:30 in the morning when they returned home.
He tiptoed to the door of his house and was about to take out the key to open the door when Yang Ruoqian saw a small plastic bag hanging on the door handle.
"What the hell..." Yang Ruoqian was stunned and took the plastic bag off the door handle. "Chang Zhiqing wouldn't do this kind of thing, right?"
The main reason is that they know each other so well that they can basically talk directly about anything and express their feelings directly through WeChat. There is no need to send gifts like this.
The only person who could do such a thing should be Shang Qianyu who lives next door...
That’s how she gave herself a cell phone last time.
"What did they give away this time?" Yang Ruoqian felt like he was opening a blind box, and his originally tired spirits were lifted up a little.
Whether something is good or bad, as long as it is free and the outcome is uncertain, it is interesting.
Of course...if it contained an outstanding performance report, Yang Ruoqian would probably faint from anger.
But this possibility is not very high.
Shang Qianyu was currently filming a movie, and Yang Ruoqian was aware of the large number of resources that could not be rejected maliciously, otherwise they would be judged as passive operations.
It was probably just a small gift or something.
Yang Ruoqian reached his hand into the plastic bag and touched it. It felt cold and it was an iron box.
When I took it out, I found it was a box of cheese wafer biscuits...
Just like the last time I gave away a mobile phone, there was still a note on the box, with a line of beautiful handwriting on it.
"Landlord, seeing that you ate so poorly while watching the game, I'll give you a box of cookies to replenish your body!"
After reading it, Yang Ruoqian complained: "If you really want to replenish your body, a box of cookies is not enough. Give me something valuable. If you don't test me, how do you know if I can stand the test?"
However, this kind of cheese wafer biscuit tastes very good, and Yang Ruoqian likes it very much.
Yang Ruoqian accepted the gift with peace of mind, opened the door, and just as he stepped forward, he suddenly felt as if something was wrong.
How did Shang Qianyu know what she ate? It was normal for her to know that she flew to the game site to watch the game, but how could she know what she ate during the game? Yang Ruoqian certainly didn't think Shang Qianyu was a stalker. He immediately realized that perhaps the picture of him eating a hot dog was "accidentally" taken.
“No way…”
It only took a dozen seconds, could it really be such a coincidence?
Mr. Yang, who had originally planned to go to bed as soon as he got home, was no longer sleepy. He changed his shoes, locked the door, sat on the sofa, turned on his mobile phone, and started searching on Bilibili.
As soon as he typed the three letters YTG in the search box, the top result on the search bar was "YTG advances to the finals", and the second result was "YTG boss appears on camera"! "Ah, this..." Yang Ruoqian stretched out his hand to open the video, but before he could see the official content, he saw a lot of comments floating across the screen.
The discussion in the comment section was also quite heated.
"Fuck, is this the big boss of YTG? So young?"
"Not only is he richer than me, he's also more handsome than me. Suddenly I don't want to play this Earth OL anymore."
"Is this a second-generation rich man who used his parents' money to start a business? But I heard that YTG started out as an internet cafe team and worked their way up. I can only say that they deserve to make this money. Their vision is impeccable."
"You're wrong. I did some research and found out that this boss started from scratch and built up his business in just one year."
"Really? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"The main business is in the entertainment industry. The e-sports club is probably just a random investment. They don't lack money at all!"
"So what if you have money? You still eat hot dogs the same way I do!"
"Hahaha……"
"By the way, does anyone know if this boss is married? Is the lady sitting next to him his wife?"
“…”
Yang Ruoqian looked at the scene of himself swallowing a hot dog with his "Mouth of the Abyss" with an expressionless face. He was speechless for a long time while watching the passing comments.
Forget it.
It's just an embarrassing thing. I, Mr. Yang, have no money, but I have a very thick skin.
Without a thick skin, how could he come up with so many seemingly reasonable but actually nonsense theories to deceive employees? As long as it doesn't bring profit to the company, it's fine to make a little name for himself...
Anyway, Yang Ruoqian basically never shows up in public and doesn't make any money from his performances. This level of "fame" cannot be monetized and cannot damage the company's finances.
The Internet has no memory. It won’t be long before the YTG championship controversy is over and this matter will probably be forgotten soon.
Judging from the fact that YTG swept the semi-finals, winning the championship is basically a foregone conclusion, because the paper strength of the other opponents is basically comparable to that of this team.
As for not winning the championship, Yang Ruoqian has basically given up his fantasy and is ready to face the reality.
"Sleep, sleep..."
…
…
The next day, Yang Ruoqian took the cookies and drove to the company.
Because the distance between the set and the company is different, and the requirements of Chengyu Group for employees are also different from Kui Guang - although there is no requirement to arrive early, it is somewhat different from Kui Guang Group, a weird company that encourages employees to be late.
Generally speaking, Shang Qianyu would go out more than 20 minutes earlier than Yang Ruoqian.
After get off work, she would take Wen Ruoxiu out to play for a while and come home a little later.
So even though Yang Ruoqian and Shang Qianyu lived very close to each other, they didn't meet very often unless they planned to do so.
"Morning, Mr. Yang!"
"Has Mr. Yang had breakfast?"
"I ordered the same hot dog. Would you like one, Mr. Yang?"
“…”
Looking at the employees who looked relaxed, waved and joked with him, Yang Ruoqian's mouth twitched slightly.
After all, no one had any reason to hate a boss who was young, unpretentious, and so nice to his employees, and everyone started to make jokes about him naturally.
Just like a young teacher who doesn't control much, likes to give out rewards, and teaches well, students are more friendly to such a teacher than in awe of him.
What's more, the attitudes of the younger and older generations of employees towards company leaders are also different from the bottom of their hearts.
Yang Ruoqian waved his hand to indicate that he had already eaten, then turned around and said, "All company executives, please have a meeting in the conference room in half an hour to discuss the plans and prospects for this quarter."
After that, he walked into the president's office, turned on the computer, carefully read the PPT he had prepared, reviewed it, and copied it to a USB drive.
Of course, Mr. Yang’s computer not only has the PPT of the new project, but also the successful summary of experience over the past year.
After summarizing the e-sports projects into successful experiences, Yang Ruoqian took another look at his new plan.
"If you can't start your own business, then go buy someone else's sunset industry, buy a company with poor performance and close to bankruptcy... and then inherit their entire original team. How can this not be a loss?"
If you can't afford to lose money yourself, then buy a loss-making company and let someone who has experience in losing money help you lose money.
As a boss, if you don’t have the talent or ability to lose money, then hire a team with this ability to serve you.
In fact, Yang Ruoqian had thought of this method before...but at that time, the Kuiguang Group was just starting out. Firstly, it did not have enough funds, and secondly, there were no corresponding artists or business bindings, so it could not be included in the company's profit and loss statistics by the system.
Now that Yang Ruoqian has actors and singers on his hands and has more and more funds, he has room to realize his plan of acquiring other companies and expanding the industry.
After checking the time, Mr. Yang unplugged the USB drive and walked into the meeting room confidently.
The company's executives have already taken their positions, waiting at their seats.
In keeping with the consistent style of Kuiguang Group, Yang Ruoqian did not waste any words before the meeting. He directly served the main course and said in short: "With the expansion of the company's business, we have to take a longer-term view."
"The old live broadcast business and the entertainment industry's brokerage business are currently very healthy, but the industry structure is too single and the risk resistance is insufficient, so we need to expand more businesses."
Listening to Mr. Yang speaking on the stage, the executives below did not react much.
The company has now developed to this extent, and its cash flow has expanded to the point where it doesn't know how to spend it. It is very normal to expand the business at an appropriate time.
It's time to make some investments.
In the end, Kuiguang Group should develop into a comprehensive entertainment giant, not just an agency.
What everyone is curious about is that Mr. Yang is very good at selecting people, scripts, crews and partners, but can he still create miracles when it comes to looking at and analyzing business?
"What business does Mr. Yang want to do?" Weng Ziqin nodded and asked.
Looking at the curious eyes of his subordinates, Yang Ruoqian opened the file, and a well-made PPT instantly appeared in front of everyone.
"The next step for the company is music production, which means opening a record company to better customize the music for our singers in a detailed and professional manner!"
"This quarter's focus is on record companies...Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions?"
The reason why Yang Ruoqian did not tell his employees about the plan in advance was that he wanted to hear the suggestions they came up with on the spur of the moment at the meeting, rather than the suggestions after careful consideration.
These words shocked everyone.
Everyone looked at each other.
Among them, Lin Cao, who knew the relevant industry best, widened his eyes.
I was not shocked by Mr. Yang's foresight, but I was shocked by the fact that he could come up with such a failed idea.
The times are different now than before. Music production companies can be considered a sunset industry. The old companies are either under large groups or are fighting to the death. There is basically no way for new entrants to survive.
Even if it can make a profit, what it earns is just a reward for hard work. The real bulk of the income does not belong to the producer, but to the platform.
In the past, we could sell discs, manage copyrights, and hype the popularity of the film...
But now, the mode of music playback has undergone tremendous changes. Even if CDs still have a certain market, they are no longer the first choice for the public to listen to music, nor are they the mainstream of today's market.
Without traffic, a song is likely to be ignored...
In other words, if there is no support from a platform with huge traffic, a good song may really be buried, unless the song is so good that it can bring traffic to the platform in turn.
Even the best wine needs to be hidden if it is not well known.
So, now that a song has been produced and the copyright has been sold, everything else has nothing to do with the record company.
Unless a special contract is signed or the copyright is exclusively distributed, how the songs are operated and subsequent revenue is generated are all the platform's business.
If the Kuiguang Group has a platform with huge traffic, then there is nothing wrong with setting up a record company. After all, they can direct their own traffic and save a lot of price differences from middlemen.
But the problem is that Mr. Yang doesn’t have a reliable platform to cooperate with at all.
Even the old partner Chengyu does not directly operate the related business.
99% of record companies nowadays will lose money! The remaining 1%...
After a short silence, Lin Cao suddenly clapped his hands: "Boss Yang, this is a good suggestion! You have a very good vision!"
Even a company like Yuefu, which runs a record company, can maintain a balance on paper. So, shouldn't Mr. Yang, who is two levels higher than those losers in Yuefu, be able to make money easily?
The remaining 1% are undoubtedly people like Mr. Yang.
Lin Cao quickly convinced himself with his logic and firmly believed that the company's record business would become the mainstay in the future.
Mr. Yang originally wanted to listen to the employees' arguings, but was stunned when he heard Lin Cao's praise.
Hmm? What's going on? How could such an outrageous plan be approved by others? And it seems that Lin Cao's praise was not just a flattery, but a sincere one? In fact, the employees in the audience did not want to refute, but at this time, even though they had a lot of doubts, they forced themselves to hold back and did not speak out.
This is especially true for Song Danlei, who switched jobs for a high salary.
After her suggestion was adopted in the opposite direction last time and the company became famous for "one plan to harm three wise men", she vaguely realized that the internal logic of Kuiguang Group was different from that of other entertainment companies.
Just like playing chess, I am limited by my vision and ability and can only give my boss suggestions on how to capture one of his opponent's pieces. However, my boss is considering the entire situation, so it doesn't matter even if he loses a piece.
This is the case with the "star" chef Yu Hong - he completely made a name for the company's catering business and made countless people know about that restaurant.
What’s even more horrifying is that even though everyone saw Yu Hong making the extremely poisonous Nine-Turn Large Intestine on a variety show, some people still went to the restaurant where Yu Hong worked and even asked him to cook.
This opened the eyes of Song Danlei, who has traditional thinking.
So now, when Song Danlei puts forward her suggestions, she is always very cautious and tries to put herself in the boss's position as much as possible.
Will the record company be in a similar situation? Maybe... Mr. Yang has his own considerations?
Looking at the other old employees, none of them said a word, except for the one called Lin Cao, who agreed without even thinking...
After working for so long, Song Danlei clearly understood that these executives were not just flatterers, but were truly talented and could always produce outstanding results! They did not raise any objections, which must have been because they understood Mr. Yang's intention...
I failed to understand that there was still a certain gap between my thinking and that of these old employees.
But it doesn’t matter. Song Danlei at least realizes that Mr. Yang is definitely right about opening a record company.
There was no one in the room who objected. It's impossible that everyone was drunk and I was the only one sober, right?
I can’t understand the logic behind the conclusion that “Mr. Yang is right”, but it’s normal that I can’t understand genius’s work.
Anyway, all you need to know is that Mr. Yang is always right.
Under this premise, you will not make mistakes if you give Mr. Yang advice based on your own experience.
Thinking of this, Song Danlei raised her hand and coughed twice: "Boss Yang, I have some suggestions."
