After the entire interview team arrived in Jinhai City in batches, they were almost seamlessly picked up and taken back to the hotel by the tour guide who had been waiting at the airport early.
In fact, originally Duan Run, the editor-in-chief, was not going to come in person for this interview.
Otherwise, no matter what, the accommodation standard must be that of a five-star hotel, and the food standard must be at least 200 per meal.
He took the initiative to contact Yang Ruoqian because only someone of his status could show respect and importance by negotiating with the boss of a group of this size.
Generally speaking, a chief editor with a photographer, a copy editor, and a business manager is a very good lineup.
Unlike this time, the filming team alone has six people!
The person responsible for writing the copy is a well-known editor in the industry.
Each of them is an experienced, senior employee with outstanding business capabilities.
Just to interview a newly emerging Kuiguang Group.
"Editor-in-Chief Duan, is it really necessary to mobilize so many people?" Xia Qing, a younger editor in the team, looked out the window as soon as he sat in the spacious business car, trying to keep his sight far away to relieve the dizziness.
Even business class with comfortable seats and good service can still be uncomfortable for people who are prone to motion sickness.
Duan Run's expression was very serious: "The requirements for the interview were proposed by Kui Guang... His boss repeatedly emphasized that the highest standards were required."
"Kuiguang directly paid for round-trip business class tickets for all of us who were traveling, and each of us stayed in a single room in a five-star hotel. The food and beverage standards were not met, but they certainly wouldn't be too bad."
"For this level of treatment, we must either decline politely or send a team that can match it. Otherwise, it would be humiliating. Do you understand?"
Xia Qing nodded slightly and said no more.
The influence and popularity of the Kuiguang Group in Yangcheng, where many powerful people gather, is naturally not as strong as in Jinhai.
However, Xia Qing had heard of this company.
After all, he is the most dazzling new star in the entertainment industry today, rising at an astonishing speed in Jinhai. What is even more commendable is that it is not just an agency, but also has a wide range of businesses.
I also heard that the boss of this company is still very young, and his entire entrepreneurial experience has been full of ups and downs, comparable to an epic masterpiece.
The most important thing is that he is very low-key and has hardly appeared in public.
This also aroused the gossip of many interviewers.
Compared to other interviews that seemed forced, Xia Qing was genuinely interested in Yang Ruoqian.
The sincerity of the Kuiguang Group, which is so high that it makes people feel a little daunted, is enough to show how much they value this interview.
In short, even the editor-in-chief Duan Run personally took part in the mission, so the importance of this mission is self-evident.
Whether it is Jinwo or Kui Guang, neither side can tolerate any mistakes.
To this end, they even put on the most formal attire, dressed up more or less, looked in excellent spirits, and tried their best to show their best side.
Hmm...that’s probably what Kui Guang thought.
Look, this business car we are sitting in now is probably worth about 600,000 or 700,000 yuan. It is a special car for the entire journey. As soon as we got off the airport, it went straight onto the highway, driving steadily until it sent everyone to the hotel.
But what happened next was beyond everyone's understanding.
After more than a dozen people got off the bus, they looked at the scenery around them with confused expressions.
It’s not because the hotel is not good enough or the environment is not good…
This hotel is very high-end and the surrounding environment is also very good, but there is a small problem - it is not a business hotel, but a resort hotel!
The scenic spot is right next to it, just two steps away!
A group of elites dressed in formal attire, carrying equipment, staring at each other, stood out among the tourists in big shirts and big shorts, forming another scenic spot.
For a moment, they almost suspected that they had got on the wrong bus and came to the wrong place.
Fortunately, the tour guide that Yang Ruoqian had spent a lot of money to hire got off the car with a bright smile on his face: "Everyone, please go inside. Mr. Yang has already booked a room for you. You can check in after registering!"
The embarrassed crowd finally reacted and hurriedly got their room cards, picked up their luggage and fled into their rooms.
Even though the room Yang Ruoqian booked for them was an executive suite, which was 80 square meters and was equipped with fresh fruit plates, drinks and a variety of high-end liquors, it was difficult to erase the embarrassment of the scene that had just occurred.
Everyone subconsciously locked their doors, drew the curtains, dimmed the lights in their rooms, and took out their phones to complain in the work group: "Who knows what's going on?"
"How should I know? When I first got off the bus, I thought I was in a zoo... except I was an animal and the others were tourists."
"It's so embarrassing to carve out a three-bedroom apartment!"
"No, does anyone know why the Kuiguang Group arranged us here? It's not convenient for us to do things..."
When the employees were having heated discussions, Duan Run, the editor-in-chief, was the one who remained calmest.
"Okay, stop complaining. Do you know how much this room costs per night? You have such a good working environment, but you are still not satisfied? Be quiet, have a good rest, and prepare for work in the afternoon."
"Boss, how can we complain...isn't this embarrassing?"
“…”
…
At the same time, at Kuiguang Group, far away from the hotel, Yang Ruoqian was finalizing the itinerary arrangements with the head of the administrative department.
"They have come from a long distance today, so they must be exhausted both physically and mentally. So I won't arrange any work-related activities for them. I will just take them to the nearby attractions near the hotel."
"If you don't relax, how can you work well?"
The administrative staff, who had long been accustomed to the spirit and ideas of the Kuiguang Group, nodded slightly and recorded Mr. Yang's words word for word.
What Mr. Yang said makes sense.
If you think it doesn’t make sense, it means you are not aware enough.
After the administrative guy finished taking notes, Yang Ruoqian continued, "As for dinner, they are too far from the city, so we won't take them to our restaurant for the time being."
"Just find the most expensive restaurant in the park and have a meal there."
"As for the evening's arrangements... well, we need to make reasonable use of the principle of hypothesis. Let's assume that everyone in the visiting team is airsick. If they want to recover better, they must do a complete set of head massages."
"There's no rush to interview tomorrow. Knowledge gained from books is always shallow. If you want the interview team to have a deep understanding of every aspect of the company, you have to let them experience it in person."
"First, take the interview team to our group of industries for some food, drinks and entertainment... The weather is too hot, so we won't take them to other attractions. Let them go to the gym and heated swimming pool on the roof of the company building."
"The day after tomorrow morning, let them tour the entire company. No extravagant arrangements will be made for lunch. We will take them to the staff cafeteria nearby to let them experience the hardships of our grassroots employees..."
"In the afternoon, we will start arranging interviews. The specific procedures will depend on consultation with them. I am an outsider."
"The day after tomorrow... They came all the way here and have worked so hard for three days. They must be exhausted. It is the right way to entertain them to let them rest for one more day."
"On Friday, we will hold a farewell party for them and give each of them a special peripheral gift from our Kuiguang Group."
"Look, it's already June, and there are still three months until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Wouldn't it be too much to give everyone a few boxes of high-end mooncakes?"
After a whole week, or five days in total, Yang Ruoqian couldn't think of any way to get more money out of these people.
Forget it... plans don’t change quickly, so leave it like this for now. If I have any good ideas in a few days, I can add them in temporarily.
In Yang Ruoqian's mind, Duan Run's team were not annoying reporters who came to interview him, but chivalrous men who came to help him spend money.
Finally, a group of people came to help him spend money with a legitimate reason, and he must not let them run away before they spent all the money.
"Okay, Mr. Yang, any other arrangements?"
"That's all for now."
The administrative guy nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Yang, I'll arrange it right away."
After confirming the itinerary, Yang Ruoqian took out his mobile phone, turned on the selfie camera, and tidied his appearance.
After all, we are going to visit scenic spots today. The weather in Gimhae in June is already quite hot, so we need to wear clothes that are ventilated and cool.
Formal clothes and the like should be worn only during formal interviews.
…
Yang Ruoqian, who was well prepared, took his ID card, went downstairs from the elevator, got into his cool supercar, and sped towards the resort hotel.
Anyway, the tank of gas has already been filled, so I'll just let the car gather dust in the garage after it's used up...
The administrative guy has already boarded the company bus and set off first to complete the docking work with everyone at Jinwo Media before Yang Ruoqian arrives.
As the company expanded, it purchased several new cars, including yellow-plate business cars and several luxury cars.
However, Yang Ruoqian did not reach out and still drove the A8 he bought at the beginning. The employees also tacitly knew that it was the boss's private car.
Arriving at the hotel's parking lot, Yang Ruoqian, wearing a pair of large sunglasses and a loose shirt, locked the car door, got out, and walked straight to the hotel lobby.
The administrative guy just sent a message saying that the interview team of Jinwo Media has rested and is waiting in the lobby.
Yang Ruoqian had just declined the hotel reception service and before he even entered the room, he saw people from Jinwo Media at the door.
It’s not because Boss Yang has a keen vision.
But the way these people are dressed is really eye-catching.
There were crowds of people coming and going, and even some casual people were walking in the lobby wrapped in bathrobes. They were the only ones in suits and carrying so much equipment that if you didn't know better you would think they were planning to shoot a blockbuster movie.
Two groups of people with completely different styles are standing there together. If you say that they are actually doing the same thing, no one would believe it.
But the people at Jinwo Media were so preoccupied with the interview and their work that they didn't care about anything embarrassing. When they saw Yang Ruoqian coming, they hurried over to greet him, "Hello, Mr. Yang. I'm Duan Run. I've heard a lot about you!"
"We are fully prepared and can start working at any time!"
They were so anxious to interview and work, not because they had the enthusiasm of office workers, but because it was too embarrassing.
Leaving this place quickly was the only urgent thought in their minds at this moment.
Compared to being a social idiot in front of everyone, being busy at work actually seems cute.
Yang Ruoqian took off his sunglasses and asked in confusion, "What kind of work is this? Xiao Feng, didn't you show the arrangement to Editor-in-Chief Duan and the others?"
Xiao Feng nervously took out his iPhone and said, "Sorry, Mr. Yang, let me confirm it again!"
After looking at it for a while, he apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there's a problem on my end. It seems that the image file was not sent out due to signal problems. I'll take a look. The mobile phone signal is not good. I'm really sorry!"
After all, it was the first time I did this kind of thing, I was not familiar with the business, and some mistakes happened.
It's over... I've embarrassed myself in front of the interview team. Mr. Yang won't deduct his salary when he returns, right? You know, if I offend the reporters, they will write some press releases that are unfavorable to the company in anger, which may cause a considerable impact.
But Yang Ruoqian just nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You admit your mistakes and correct them. Not bad. You are a good candidate. After this matter is done, come back to the company to collect your bonus."
Yang Ruoqian was overjoyed.
Good! This administrative guy named Xiao Feng is a rare talent!
He got into some not-so-small trouble just after he started doing business, causing the interview team's impression of Kuiguang Group to plummet!
If there are more incidents like this, are you still afraid that the people from Jinwo Media will not go back and smear the company wildly?
The interview team, who were already in a state of social turmoil, didn't care about anything else and quickly picked up their phones to look at the information.
I was in a hurry before, as I had to debug the equipment and review the interview script, so I just glanced at the message quickly and didn't have time to read it carefully.
In their view, there would be basically no mistakes in the arrangements of a company as large as Kuiguang.
But they were soon refreshed.
What does this picture say?
Xia Qing was wearing a work uniform, holding a cell phone, with a dazed look in his eyes: "Uh... Mr. Yang, did you send the wrong itinerary? Why isn't there any item about the interview?"
Yang Ruoqian said seriously: "Every item above is about work."
"Ah?" Xia Qing was even more confused. "But this...isn't the destination a tourist attraction? Are we going to interview at a tourist attraction?"
Yang Ruoqian became more serious: "Kuiguang Group is a local enterprise born and raised in Jinhai City. There are many local cultures. If you want to better understand our group, you must first start by understanding Jinhai City."
"It includes the attractions here, the food here, and a variety of local specialties."
“Only by gaining a deep understanding of these things can you better understand our group and inspire your writers’ creative inspiration.”
"Come on, everyone change your clothes. I will take you to the first scenic spot and have fun... and collect some good materials!"
Even Duan Run, who is well-informed in the entertainment industry, was a little confused.
What’s going on?
This isn't the way to communicate feelings, right?
He hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward and whispered, "Boss Yang, why don't you get down to business first? We can do that later..."
Yang Ruoqian said loudly, "What? Editor-in-Chief Duan, you said you can't wait a little longer? Haha, great! I like straightforward people like you! Feel free to take any local specialties you like later."
Duan Run, who was about to say something, immediately shut his mouth, and hurriedly picked up the equipment with his interview team and took the elevator back to the room.
You haven't even finished your sentence and you can take whatever you like. What will happen if you say a few more words?
Those who knew thought they were interviewing, while those who didn’t thought they were banditry.
If the news got out, how would Jin Wo hold his head up in front of his peers? Even if the entertainment industry was a good place to make money, it had to be legitimate.
No, no, that's too scary.
It’s better to just listen to Yang Ruoqian’s arrangements.
So, everyone was dragged into the scenic spot. They refused to walk if they could take a sedan chair along the way, and would never eat at the convenience stores inside the scenic area if they could.
Highlight one that has no cost-effectiveness.
Finally, after a day of hard work, it was time for dinner.
The group of people who were unfamiliar with the place were inexplicably taken to a scenic area restaurant, and it was a very high-end seafood restaurant.
Jinhai City is not near the sea, so the cost of airlifting seafood here is extremely high.
Plus the restaurant is opened inside the scenic area...
You can imagine the price.
"Everyone, just order whatever you want to eat. Don't be polite." Yang Ruoqian was obviously very familiar with this place, making people wonder if he had planned this for a long time. "Although the food here is expensive, the quality is good. Don't worry about getting a stomachache!"
Xia Qing, who was sitting diagonally opposite Yang Ruoqian, looked at the menu in his hand and felt that Yang Ruoqian might have made some mistake.
Who would worry about getting a stomachache? Everyone is worried about whether the price is good or not.
Half a pound of lobster costs 1,500 yuan, why not grab it! ? In fact, interviews are divided into two situations.
The first is that the interviewees actively invite some influential media to interview them and use the influence of these media to promote themselves.
This is like asking someone to do something for you, and you need the interviewee to reimburse the expenses, and you may even need to give a few red envelopes to show your sincerity.
After all, if you want to use other people's influence, who will do it if you don't give them some benefits?
But the problem is that the current interview of Jinwo Media with Kuiguang Group does not fall into this category.
Now it is Jinwo Media that has seen the development potential of Kuiguang Group. We believe that it is not impossible for them to produce truly popular first-line movie stars, or even phenomenal movie stars.
In order to open up channels, pave the way for future development, and be able to obtain first-hand information about these stars and the movies in which these stars star, Jinwo Media had to establish a good relationship with Kui Guang early on.
If you can get first-hand information about first-line stars earlier, you can issue relevant press releases earlier than your peers, which can gain more traffic and popularity.
The authority will become stronger and stronger.
Therefore, we must seize this last window of opportunity while Kui Guang is still on the airport runway and catch the last train.
Otherwise, when Kuiguang takes off completely in the future, who will care about you? Not only that, Kuiguang Group also has a communication channel with Chengyu Group, which is also a very important resource.
Various factors have led to the current situation where Jin Wo begged Kui Guang to accept an interview with them.
They are the ones asking for favors.
But from the moment they entered the airport, things took a turn that was beyond their expectations.
Not only are meals and lodging fully included, but they are also of extremely high standards.
When we got to the place, we didn’t talk about work first, but instead took them to visit the scenic spots and have a meal.
It's like a person who wants to ask someone for help to get something done, so he carefully buys good wine, cigarettes and other gifts, but before he even gets to the door, someone else comes to greet him with a sedan chair carried by eight people.
After welcoming him into the house, not only did others not accept his gifts, they also gave him many gifts in return.
And in the end, I got what I wanted to do through connections.
The causal logic is not right!
Besides feeling terrified and flattered, they also felt unprecedented respect.
Is this what it means to be a decent person? I have to make sure that Mr. Yang handles everything properly, and I have to write the interview with great skill.
If there are advantages, magnify them; if there are disadvantages, cover them up! And it has to be covered up in a subtle and silent way.
We must not let down Mr. Yang’s warm hospitality.
Soon, the seafood that looked expensive was served.
The abalone, shark fin and scallop soup, which costs thousands of yuan per person, was served two bowls per person.
The people from Jinwo Media would not dare to order these dishes even if they went to the most affordable seafood restaurant, let alone in the scenic area restaurants where the prices are already extremely high.
They had only heard of and seen many of the ingredients, but this time they were delivered directly to their mouths, and there was plenty of them! Xia Qing was terrified, but he couldn't control his appetite at all. As a result, he was so busy eating that he even forgot about the business at the table.
By the time she remembered about the interview, there were only a pile of leftovers left on the table.
It seems that there is no chance to talk about anything serious.
With mixed feelings, everyone ate a meal that was not cost-effective. When they paid the bill, they were deeply moved: "Boss Yang, you are so expensive. We will definitely have a good rest tonight and help you do a great interview tomorrow!"
The interview team looked at Mr. Yang with a hint of expectation.
The meaning of that look was very simple.
If you have any requests or tasks, just tell me!
We are willing to do it even if it means blowing black into white! Please assign some tasks quickly, otherwise we really won't be able to sleep at night.
"Yes, you should have a good rest tonight." Yang Ruoqian deeply agreed, "I have arranged a professional masseur to help you relieve your fatigue."
"Let's go, the location is in the hotel, I'll take you there!"
As long as these people have time, Yang Ruoqian will arrange all the spending projects for them.
This is the master of time management.
When it comes to spending money, efficiency is important. How to spend more money faster in the shortest time is also a science.
As long as you don’t die, play to death.
Duan Run's mind went blank, "Boss Yang, why don't we just give up on this project? Today..."
Yang Ruoqian laughed and said, "Editor-in-Chief Duan, you are good in every way except that you are too impatient! The project about our company's industrial experience has been scheduled for tomorrow, so we don't have time today!"
"Guide Tian, please send a copy of tomorrow's plan to Chief Editor Duan. Chief Editor Duan can't wait to know what we're going to do tomorrow!"
Due to the company's overtime mechanism, the administrative guy went home immediately after dinner and there was no room for overtime.
So the work had to be handed over to the outsourced tour guide Tian.
Tour guide Tian nodded very seriously and responsibly: "Okay, Mr. Yang!"
Duan Run was dumbfounded as he watched Yang Ruoqian talking to himself.
No, we have played all day, and we want to play again tomorrow? Not enough?
Do you still remember why you asked us to come here? ! (End of this chapter)
