While the Yuefu Group was in a state of panic, Yang Ruoqian and his team were on that luxurious private plane, flying towards the southern border city.
In order to find an excuse for this free project, Mr. Yang deliberately exaggerated the matter to be very important and publicized it everywhere within the company, in order to use this matter to pack up all the pillars of the company and let them volunteer to help the poor.
The greatest value of this project is to use all the talents in the company on projects that cannot make money at all! And not only talents within the company, but also some suspicious allies such as Chengyu Media must be invited.
Otherwise, who knows what Cheng Fei will do behind Mr. Yang's back? The only regret is that the flight from Jinhai to Chuncheng is only three hours, and Mr. Yang can't do more expensive operations on the plane like he did last time he flew abroad.
Three hours can only cover the time for one meal. No matter how good the ingredients are, it is still a small amount of money.
The flight is so short that the bedroom at the back of the plane is naturally not used. Most people are now concentrated in the business meeting room in the middle of the plane.
Cheng Fei watched the movie playing on the big screen of the plane and felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.
Judging from Mr. Yang’s reaction to the anti-fraud promotional video, he should take it very seriously.
Not only did he turn down an invitation to collaborate with another company on a TV series, but he also mobilized all the resources that could be mobilized within the Kuiguang Group, and even called on Chengyu Media...
But why did she always have an inexplicable feeling from the moment she got on the plane - Mr. Yang didn't really care about this matter? Cheng Fei had prepared her computer and was ready to have a serious meeting with her partners on the plane to express their opinions to each other, but after getting on the plane, she didn't wait for the meeting, but only waited for dinner and movies.
Yang Ruoqian himself adjusted his seat to a comfortable position and started playing with his mobile phone as soon as he got on the plane, showing no sense of urgency at all.
"Why does it feel like Mr. Yang takes it very seriously and yet doesn't take it very seriously?"
“…”
The most important thing is that the other people in Kuiguang Group seem to take it very seriously, but Yang Ruoqian is the only one who is extremely idle and seems very out of place.
Moreover, Cheng Fei was indeed very curious about what purpose Yang Ruoqian would achieve by using this anti-fraud promotional video.
Since the analysts in her own company couldn't come up with anything, she, as the boss, had to do it herself.
Looking at this scene, Cheng Fei decided to break the silence and start a conversation herself:
"Boss Yang, what are your plans after we get there?"
Yang Ruoqian, who was playing games on his phone, was stunned when he heard the question, and immediately said: "After we get off the plane, we will rest in Chuncheng for three days. You can do whatever you want to see and do. Don't worry, the accommodation conditions are all top-notch in the area. As for meals, I have a recommended list of local restaurants. I'll ask Qi Mu to send it to everyone after we get off the plane."
The secretary did not come on the plane this time - after all, this matter had nothing to do with her, and there was no particularly good excuse to force her to come.
Cheng Fei was speechless for once after listening to Yang Ruoqian's irrelevant answer.
No, for such a huge project, the first arrangement is to take a three-day emergency break?!
The first important information is actually about the local restaurant? Cheng Fei is a person who has seen many storms. When the two companies were still struggling in the wind and rain, she was also not uncommon to see Yang Ruoqian's various seemingly outrageous operations. At this time, her mentality was stable, and she shook her head and said, "Boss Yang, what do you mean after shooting the promotional video and the promotional video?"
Yang Ruoqian said "Oh" briefly and waved his hand: "So this is what President Cheng is worried about... Don't worry, how could I not consider this matter carefully?"
Cheng Fei nodded slightly to show that she was listening.
When the others saw the two bosses having a meeting so seriously, they put down what they were doing and looked over here.
Although they were from the Kuiguang Group, they were still very curious about how Yang Ruoqian planned to use this promotional video and why he was so concerned about something that was obviously not profitable.
What is Mr. Yang planning to do next?
Seeing that everyone was so concerned about the promotional video, Yang Ruoqian couldn't hide it and could only sigh and say, "Alas, everyone is so enthusiastic... I will definitely not let you down."
"Originally, I was planning to give you all a surprise after we got off the plane, but forget it, I might as well just say it here."
"After leaving Chuncheng, we will go to the filming location of the promotional video... After all, it is just a small county town with relatively backward development and incomplete infrastructure. The conditions there are not as good as those in big cities, or even small cities."
"Besides, the filming location for the promotional video is not even in this county, so the conditions for the crew will be even worse."
"We are all employees of Kuiguang Group. Filming is very tiring, especially for promotional films that do not generate any income. There is not much I can do. I can only try to provide a better environment for everyone."
"I saw the photos sent from the fraud dens before, which not only showed the poor living conditions of the deceived people, but also the lavish and extravagant lives of the fraud leaders."
"The rooms they live in have very good environments. So I asked the engineering team to calculate the number of people and build a custom-made room for each of you according to the standards! A room that has been lived in will look more realistic when filmed."
After Yang Ruoqian finished speaking, he raised his head with some pride: "How about it, killing two birds with one stone, isn't it thoughtful?"
The crowd was stunned: "..."
No, we are not asking about accommodation conditions!
Who cares about that, Mr. Yang! What we are asking is what magical operation you have, and whether the soft power brought to Kuiguang Group by such a large-scale promotional video production is worth it! Why do you keep talking about eating and sleeping?
Seeing that everyone was stunned by his generosity, Yang Ruoqian smiled proudly and said, "Not only that, I also rented two cold chain transport vehicles and hired a local chef at a high price. You only need to tell me what you want to eat one day in advance, and I guarantee you will see it on the table the next day."
Everyone: “…”
"The arrangements after filming the promotional video are also very simple. I have an idea - everyone should take a week off, form a group, and visit various local tourist attractions."
"You can take this opportunity to visit ancient towns, snow-capped mountains, and Erhai Lake."
"Of course, it's all self-guided tours. The company is only responsible for your accommodation. You can arrange what you want to eat and what activities you want to play."
"Well, do you have anything else to add?"
Cheng Fei: "No, Mr. Yang's arrangement is very thoughtful, it's enough, it's enough."
Others followed suit: "That's right, you really thought it through!"
Although she had guessed that the following topic might be different from what she expected when Yang Ruoqian talked about accommodation, she really didn't expect it to go so far off topic.
If she didn't know that Yang Ruoqian was a very trustworthy partner, she would have doubted whether this promotional video was reliable.
No matter how outrageous the things a successful person does, it can only be described as having a "unique style of doing things."
If it were someone else, he would probably go crazy.
Just as Yang Ruoqian finished saying this string of outrageous things, the sweet voice of the flight attendant suddenly came from the plane broadcast: "Dear distinguished passengers, the plane is ready to land and is expected to arrive in Chuncheng in 45 minutes..."
“…”
After landing, several people left the airport, got into the rented high-end executive car as usual, and came to the hotel where they were staying.
Yang Ruoqian looked at Chang Zhiqing and the curious Shang Qianyu and asked, "This place is at a very high altitude. Do you have any altitude sickness or anything? Do you need any help?"
Chang Zhiqing shook her head gently: "It's OK, there's not much that I'm not used to."
Shang Qianyu, who didn't seem to be feeling any discomfort at all, nodded frantically: "Boss, can you prepare an oxygen cylinder for me just in case? Just deduct the money from my salary!"
They are all quite adaptable...
As for the silly kid's request, just ignore it.
Yang Ruoqian casually waved his hand to deal with Shang Qianyu. Just as he was about to go to the elevator to put his luggage, someone suddenly called on his cell phone.
He glanced at the others, took two steps to the side, and answered the phone.
"Qi Mu? What's the matter?"
Since the secretary chose to call Mr. Yang who was on a business trip instead of sending a message, it means that the matter to be reported is quite important.
Qi Mu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Good afternoon, Mr. Yang. The company just received a call from Yuefu Group. You may need to make a decision in person."
"Yuefu Group?" Yang Ruoqian was stunned for a moment and repeated, "We haven't blocked their phone number yet?"
When Cheng Fei heard the words "Yuefu Group", her gaze also turned over.
She had also heard about Kuiguang Group's recent plan to expand nationwide.
After all, the fact that two rival companies are going up and down is really a show that makes for a good show.
Cheng Fei does not have any plans to let Chengyu Media open a branch at this stage, but it is no problem to provide some help to the allies within one's ability.
Qi Mu said: "Their top directors and leaders have found a way to contact us again. I hope you or the company's senior management can take some time to arrange a time and place to meet with them and have a good talk about the current relationship between our two companies."
Yang Ruoqian sighed: "They keep saying these empty words. Can they come up with something new?"
Thinking that Yuefu Group might have to pay him a huge amount of compensation again, he really wanted to get these incompetent guys out of his sight.
Twice! This is the second time they have violated the law and been caught by the system! And how long has it been since then?
If Yuefu Group thinks they have too much money, they can just find a pit to burn it. Why do they have to come here to swindle me? Yang Ruoqian never thought that he would be given the same deceptive "reward" twice by the system because of the same company and the same reason! Qi Mu continued: "Boss Yang, it's different from last time. They came here with conditions this time."
Yuefu Group had contacted Kuiguang Group before, and their words were also meant to show goodwill.
There are even directors of Yuefu Group who hope to directly acquire shares in Kuiguang Group.
However, they were all directly rejected by Yang Ruoqian.
The director's desire to acquire shares is a personal act and does not represent Yuefu Group.
The previous proposal for reconciliation did not show any sincerity.
This time, he actually put forward conditions directly on the phone?
Generally speaking, in this kind of negotiation, the conditions are only discussed when both parties are in a meeting, so as to avoid the bottom line being revealed in advance and being severely exploited by the other party.
It seems that they are really anxious this time.
Yang Ruoqian nodded gently: "What are their conditions? Tell me."
There was the sound of turning pages from Qi Mu's side. Two seconds later, she said, "Boss Yang, Yuefu Group is willing to use their resources and connections to exchange with us. They hope that we will not engage in vicious competition, and they also hope that we will not target them in legal matters. They are willing to compensate us for the losses they have caused us, and they are even willing to pay a premium."
"They also said that as long as both sides put aside their differences and work together, they will definitely make more money. There is no need to fight among themselves."
Yang Ruoqian thought about it and roughly understood the logic behind Yuefu Group's conditions.
They are raising employees' salaries and signing good contracts with anchors and artists, but in the end, isn't it the company's profits that are hurt?
If Kuiguang and Yuefu can cooperate, what will happen to other people in Pengcheng? The matter of lawsuit compensation is also easy to understand.
If the two companies fight to the end and Kuiguang Group claims 20 million yuan in compensation, after all the time costs and lawyer costs are calculated, the 20 million yuan in compensation may be lost by more than half.
In addition to the 20 million yuan in compensation, Yuefu Group will need to spend more manpower and material resources. If it loses the case, it will be a disgrace and may even lead to more lawsuits. The total cost may be more than 30 million yuan.
If the two companies reached a private settlement, Yuefu Group could have used 25 million to avoid disaster, Kuiguang Group would have received more compensation, Yuefu Group's losses would have been smaller, and it would not have to bear the pressure of losing the case. It could be said to be a win-win situation.
What a joke!
Just because Yuefu Group won twice is called a win-win situation? Who cares about this little bit of compensation? Who wants to cut the wages of employees? Isn't this pushing Yang Ruoqian into the fire pit?
Yang Ruoqian said firmly: "Reject them! Do not reconcile with them, not only in the past, now, but also in the future."
In fact, Yang Ruoqian had already issued a similar order before - as long as it was a call from Yuefu Group, just reject it directly no matter what was said.
However, as an administrative secretary assistant, Qi Mu naturally could not really carry out this order in full.
Small matters are fine, but what if a cooperation can really bring huge benefits to the company? Just because the boss gives a verbal order one day, you refuse without a second thought? The conflict is huge now, but if the interests are consistent in the future, maybe the conflict can be resolved.
For important decisions, it is better to let the boss make the final decision personally.
Yang Ruoqian was not so forgetful. He remembered that he had said all this before, but he also understood the secretary's caution, so he simply did not mention it.
Qi Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became a little more relaxed: "Okay, Mr. Yang, then I will convey your meaning."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Fei came up and casually asked Yang Ruoqian: "What's the matter? Do I need to avoid it?"
Although he said he was avoiding the question, he was actually asking Yang Ruoqian if there was any way Chengyu Media could help with this matter.
The two companies are already quite familiar with each other, so there's no need to go through the cumbersome process of you pushing me over for the sake of face. Just speak your mind directly.
Yang Ruoqian shook his head. "Nothing. It's just about the lawsuit between Yuefu and us. They want to settle it privately and ease the conflict. They want to change their relationship from competition to cooperation with us... at least a competition with a cooperative nature."
Cheng Fei nodded slightly: "I think I understand. Mr. Yang, are you really not going to reconcile with them? If you cooperate with them, your development in Pengcheng will indeed be much smoother."
Development going smoothly?
I just don’t want things to develop so smoothly! Yang Ruoqian kept smiling: “Cooperation can bring a lot of benefits, but what if Kuiguang Group directly grabs the market share of Yuefu Group? Wouldn’t the benefits be greater?”
Anyway, this matter is still a long way off, so just brag about it as much as you can.
Grab the share of Yuefu Group?
Even if an old company begins to decline, it shouldn't collapse instantly...
However, Cheng Fei showed an expression of "as expected": "As expected, Mr. Yang has ambitious goals and does not care about the small interests at hand. I am looking forward to what kind of storm the Kuiguang Group will stir up in Pengcheng."
As long as Yang Ruoqian said so, he was at least 90% sure that he could achieve it.
It seems that Yang Ruoqian has already planned for the Kuiguang Group to completely replace the Yuefu Group and become the new giant.
Next, just wait and see what he does.
Perhaps, after a year, Yuefu Group’s final struggle will come to nothing?
Cheng Fei has already begun to imagine the future in her mind.
Different from Yang Ruoqian's idea, she felt that Yuefu Group might really collapse quickly under Yang Ruoqian's powerful operation.
When a company shrinks, it may not necessarily have a soft landing - because the negative effects of a sharp drop in revenue are not just a decrease in numbers.
If the operating and maintenance cost of an asset was 1 million yuan, the income was 1.1 million yuan, and the profit was 100,000 yuan... But if the income drops by 10%, the profit will drop by 110%, turning from profit to loss! A 10% drop in income may not seem fatal, but it is an absolute heavy blow to the company.
This asset suddenly changed from high-quality to low-quality. If it is not optimized or sold off, it will be a hot potato! Selling assets means a smaller plate, a reduction in economies of scale, and even a high probability of affecting bank loans... In a chain reaction, there are many cases where companies shrink by more than half in a short period of time.
A company like Kuiguang Group, which still has zero debt so far, is extremely rare, or even unique.
According to Cheng Fei's calculations, if Yang Ruoqian was willing to lend money, the current Kuiguang Group would most likely have suppressed the Yuefu Group, and even another giant, the Tianyue Group, which had not encountered any problems, would have to bow its head.
Healthy debt is not a bad thing for the development of a company.
However, for various reasons, many companies simply think that their debts are benign, but in fact the risks have already become unbearable.
As long as the funds with extremely sensitive noses and extreme risk aversion withdraw, even the biggest behemoth can go from thriving to being in jeopardy overnight.
Although being completely debt-free seems extreme, Cheng Fei can barely understand it.
Slower development will result in an infinitely higher tolerance rate.
Moreover, the slow development is only relative to the Kuiguang Group itself. Objectively speaking, their development is not slow at all, but very, very fast! The Kuiguang Group does not need to use any financing means to accelerate its development.
In this regard, Mr. Yang is indeed very cautious...
Yang Ruoqian, who just wanted to spend money and didn't want to cause any trouble, laughed: "Haha! I opened a company there just to make business transactions more convenient, there's nothing big to plan."
“…”
After exchanging pleasantries, the small team returned to their own rooms.
Yang Ruoqian sat on the sofa, yawned, and waved for Chang Zhiqing to come over.
Chang Zhiqing put her luggage in the locker, walked over and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Aren't we going to the set with the crew the day after tomorrow?" Yang Ruoqian searched a few pictures. "It's a long way, so take a look at what kind of car you want to take."
Chang Zhiqing raised her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I don't have to be the spoiled sister Lin, this matter is nothing, you can arrange it yourself."
"Then choose the expensive one..."
After choosing the means of transportation and playing in Spring City for three full days, everyone finally got on a special car.
The convoy set off from the hotel and quickly left the city.
The closer you get to the border, the harder the roads become, and the city's prosperity gradually disappears.
But the spaciousness and comfortable environment of the luxury car alleviated the boring journey to a great extent.
At least it's quite comfortable to sit on.
After driving for several hours, the convoy drove into a small road with only two lanes. After driving around, they finally saw a group of not very tall buildings.
Unlike Jinhai and Chuncheng, which have buildings dozens of stories high, the tallest building here is no more than 8 stories high, and judging from the exterior walls, it is not that new.
The road is narrow...
Such a luxurious convoy driving in naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Soon, the convoy arrived at the parking lot of the reception hotel.
Not far away, a man in a suit and tie, who looked to be in his fifties, saw the convoy approaching and immediately walked down in two steps.
"Welcome everyone from Kuiguang Group! Please come in, the tea is ready! Please forgive me for the poor environment."
Yang Ruoqian got out of the car, shook hands with the man, and said with a smile: "That's very thoughtful. Come inside, I'll tell you in detail about the arrangements later."
This man is the village director, named Ma Shou.
After hearing that the Kuiguang Group was going to invest in their small county, they looked forward to Yang Ruoqian's arrival every day.
He really has so many things he wants to build, but the place is small and the investment is low. In addition, the recent fraud incidents have led to a decrease in tourism income, which has troubled him for a long time.
I've heard about the Kuiguang Group and that Yang Ruoqian has always been very generous in his investments. This is a timely relief for the small county.
But Ma Shou didn't dare to celebrate in advance. Before the investors came, he must have some basic understanding of the investors.
Even though the Kuiguang Group is a big shot and Yang Ruoqian is a magnanimous person, almost every one of his projects has brought huge commercial returns.
To be fair, no matter how much Ma Shou brags about his small county, the fact that the investment environment is not as good as other places cannot be changed, so he naturally has less confidence.
Can people from big cities and big companies appreciate these things in small counties? I don't have the ability to force Yang Ruoqian to invest in this place...
How to convince this big boss has become a headache for Ma Shou these days.
If he let this hard-earned investment opportunity slip through his fingers, he would probably not be able to sleep well for months.
Seeing that Yang Ruoqian had no displeasure or other negative expressions on his face, Ma Shou felt a little relieved: "Mr. Yang, please come in, everyone, you are welcome! Have you eaten?"
Yang Ruoqian nodded: "We've already eaten, let's get down to business."
The engineering team that restored the fraud park buildings in the suburbs on a one-to-one basis hired people from the county. As for various services, meals and accommodation that required manpower and material resources, Yang Ruoqian was not stingy and used the largest amount of money to buy the best services.
It brought a lot of vitality to the county town.
Logically speaking, this is the only boost a promotional film crew can bring to the local economy.
However, not long ago, Yang Ruoqian revealed another piece of important news to Ma Shou - in addition to the expenses of the promotional film, Kuiguang Group also plans to make other investments in the county! He didn't say what it was, obviously waiting for Ma Shou to introduce it.
I hope Mr. Yang can invest more...
However, what Ma Shou didn't know was that Mr. Yang just wanted to spend the charity money in the system quickly, and whether there would be commercial returns was not important at all.
Yang Ruoqian even planned to use the excuse of doing charity to see if he could spend some of the money in the company account.
The system stipulates that other funds besides charity funds cannot be used for investments outside the entertainment industry, but Yang Ruoqian can build something like a cinema.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Ma Shou calmed down, "I'll show you the map first."
Soon, a large map with detailed markings of the locations of various buildings in the county town was brought out.
Judging from the old appearance of the map and the various notes on it, Ma Shou had obviously used it frequently.
"This place is home to many retired elderly people in the city. You can consider building a leisure sports plaza here. Once all kinds of equipment are available, people will basically flock here... Then you can put some health care product ads here, and the effect should be good."
"Of course, health products must be legitimate."
Yang Ruoqian nodded slightly and motioned for Ma Shou to continue the introduction.
Seeing Yang Ruoqian's attitude, Ma Shou realized that he did not like this place, so he did not bother with him any more. He changed the place and pointed to the center of the county town.
"You can invest in a comprehensive shopping mall here. There is a primary school and a middle school nearby. Most of the city's residents also live nearby, and transportation is relatively convenient."
"There is no comprehensive shopping mall of a certain scale in the county town at present. If you invest in it, it will be the first one... It doesn't need to be as luxurious as in big cities, with so many high-end brands, and it doesn't need to be that big. It only needs to have basic functions and the best cost-effectiveness is the best."
Yang Ruoqian glanced at the map briefly and nodded perfunctorily: "It looks good."
Ma Shou was not discouraged: "If you are not satisfied, you can take a look here..."
"And this..."
"this……"
In order to keep the investment, Ma Shou made full preparations. As long as one of the five places he envisioned could be favored by Yang Ruoqian, it would be a great success! However, after talking about the first four projects, Yang Ruoqian still nodded perfunctorily as before, and gave a few half-hearted compliments, without showing any satisfaction on his face.
Ma Shou, who had already introduced the last project, felt a little heavy-hearted.
Sure enough, no matter how much he boasted, he could not hide the truth from Yang Ruoqian, who had sufficient business experience.
Although these investments are not large, after careful analysis, the prospects are indeed not very good.
Could it be that Mr. Yang doesn’t like any of them…
With a nervous look on his face, Ma Shou finished introducing the last place, took a sip of warm tea, and glanced at Yang Ruoqian out of the corner of his eye, hoping to see a look of "satisfaction" with the last place from his expression.
But the miracle did not happen.
Ma Shou sighed inwardly, this kind of thing cannot be forced.
If you don't have enough strength and the environment is not good, you won't be able to grasp the opportunity even if it comes to you.
Ma Shou made up his mind and said directly: "In other words, Mr. Yang, if you have any other ideas, just let us know. As long as we can satisfy them, we will do our best to satisfy them!"
As long as Yang Ruoqian is willing to invest, even if there is no investment environment, we must create one! Just as Ma Shou was waiting for Yang Ruoqian to speak, he heard this young and handsome man ask in a strange tone:
"Director Ma, is there anything else? Even if I put all my money into this project, it wouldn't cost me much, right? Nothing else?"
This kind of shopping mall in the county is completely different from the ones like Qianda Plaza in big cities, and the cost is not at the same level either.
How much money can be spent on installing some sports equipment and soft entertainment in a park? Not to mention other places, the total budget is less than one-third of what Mr. Yang expected.
Not to mention the funds in the company account, even the funds in the charity account cannot be spent! Ma Shou didn't react for a moment, and asked blankly: "No, anything else?"
"Yes, for example, this shopping mall you mentioned can be bigger, and I can also put a cinema on the top floor."
“And here…”
"Why is that area on the map empty? I think it has great investment value."
"Director Ma, you don't have to keep telling me about returns on investment. We should also pay more attention to the lives of children and the elderly and enrich their leisure time. I have a lot of cultural and entertainment ideas here, and I'll show you some later."
"And here, here, here!"
Looking at the big boss excitedly clicking around on the map, Ma Shou was a little confused.
So Mr. Yang thought the five projects were too few, and that the packaged investment was not enough? In a moment of distraction, Yang Ruoqian circled several more places on the map.
Ma Shou quickly stopped him and said, "Boss Yang, this place is not a good environment and is not suitable for this."
"There is a garbage dump nearby, please be careful..."
"The infrastructure in the area you circled is not in place, so transportation is very troublesome."
"Here...there..."
"Boss Yang, please stop for a moment. Don't invest so much. I'm scared!"
