Revenge consumption...
The two looked at each other and suddenly felt that although Yang Ruoqian had become the boss of a large group, he was actually not very arrogant.
Sometimes, the estrangement caused by changes in identity and status is inevitable.
Yu Lanyun sent an emoticon: "Hahaha! Boss Yang still loves to joke like before!"
Gu Jiwen also sent a message: "Don't worry, we don't have the ability to engage in revenge spending even if we want to."
In fact, the two of them did intend to engage in revengeful consumption when they came to Jinhai City this time - if they hadn't won the prize this time, the two tickets to the escape room alone would have cost at least several thousand yuan. Taking into account the "privately customized" tickets and hotel, the total cost would have been at least tens of thousands.
If even this isn’t considered retaliatory consumption, what is?
But for a big boss like Yang Ruoqian, this amount of money is really nothing...
Kuiguang Group is now able to boost the economy of a city to some extent!
Yang Ruoqian, who was sitting in the restaurant and hadn't eaten a single bite of food yet, felt a bit complicated - judging from the tone of the two men's voices, they were definitely here for revenge consumption.
Chang Zhiqing took a bite of food and asked, "What's wrong? No time to see old classmates?"
"No... Never mind." Yang Ruoqian shook his head and put down his phone. "Let's eat."
Now that the Kuiguang Group has grown so big, it no longer lacks these small things.
Even if the two old classmates don't come to consume, there will be someone else to take this position.
The problem with Kuiguang Group is that its production capacity is too low. Even if this customer leaves, the next customer can fill the position at the speed of light. It doesn’t matter who pays.
"Look at the people outside... there are so many of them." Chang Zhiqing glanced out the window while eating. "Luckily, Cheng Fei bought the surrounding industries and gave them to us before our business was developed. Otherwise, if we were to buy them now, I don't know how much more money we would have to spend in vain."
Yang Ruoqian: “…”
When Yang Ruoqian and Cheng Fei first started working together, Cheng Fei felt that he had taken too great an advantage. Out of considerations of "long-term cooperation" and "exchange of interests", he took the initiative to buy up a bunch of surrounding industries and gave them to the Kuiguang Group.
This so-called exchange of interests has become a major concern for the Kuiguang Group.
Yang Ruoqian recruited a wave of new employees to manage the business, and the business got better and better, to the point where it has now become an entertainment industry chain that covers almost half of the city.
It would be fine if I didn't say it, but once I mentioned Yang Ruoqian, it seemed a bit ridiculous.
Who would have thought that the stores would become like this after only a few years? A little carelessness and a fluke mentality at the beginning may very likely become a cancer that cannot be removed in the future...
"Let's eat..."
After the meal, when Yang Ruoqian took out the black card, which was limited to only one in the world, to pay the bill, he felt a little bit of warmth.
After wandering around the mall in boredom, Yang Ruoqian looked at the crowds of people and couldn't muster any interest in sightseeing. He said to Chang Zhiqing, "It seems like there are too many people here. There's nothing fun to do. How about we go home?"
Chang Zhiqing was about to agree when her eyes suddenly lit up: "Did you see that there are so many people gathered in front? It seems like a celebrity is doing some kind of autograph activity?"
Celebrity autograph session...
This is quite normal, after all, there are places with a strong entertainment atmosphere around here.
When people put Jinhai and entertainment together, the first thing that comes to mind is Kuiguang Group.
"You care about these? Don't you not chase after celebrities?" Yang Ruoqian just glanced at it and said, "I see that every time you see information about a celebrity, you block that account directly."
"Not all of them." Chang Zhiqing smiled slightly, "If it's information from a small business, I'll still take a look at it, even though it's generally outrageous."
"Let's go now."
As they spoke, the two of them went against the crowd, took the elevator back to the underground parking lot, and hurried back home while there was less traffic outside.
"Alas, a good vacation has turned out like this." Yang Ruoqian lay on the sofa and sighed unconsciously, "I can't go out to play at all."
"All long vacations are like this. This isn't the first time." Chang Zhiqing closed the door. "Just stay at home. You're the boss anyway. You can give yourself a few days off when you want to have fun."
"What do you think? How about we go out and have some fun?" Yang Ruoqian, who had been working hard for three months, certainly didn't want to stay at home during the long vacation. "There are so many people in the country, so we can take this opportunity to go out and have some fun."
"Doesn't our company have a private jet? It's a good opportunity to put it to use."
Chang Zhiqing peeled two apples and asked as she ate them, "Isn't it too late to plan this kind of thing now? By the time the visa is processed, the long vacation will be over, right?"
"Don't worry... I spent so much money and hired so many people. They have already taken care of everything." Yang Ruoqian took the other apple from Chang Zhiqing and said, "So many people usually ask you for this document or that document. They are just applying for business visas."
"Now, many countries have business visa groups that allow important company personnel to enter the country ten times a year."
Chang Zhiqing nodded in understanding: "Where are you going? Do you want to bring other people from the company with you?"
"This isn't a work matter, why bring other people?" Yang Ruoqian glanced at Chang Zhiqing with some disdain, "Just the two of us going to play... Let's go, and quickly plan where to go."
"Where are our two old classmates?" Chang Zhiqing blinked and asked, "Aren't they due to arrive tonight? Aren't you going to pick them up?"
"Accept it! Not only that, but we will also arrange a luxurious package for them. I guarantee they will have an unforgettable long vacation."
“…”
…
While Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing were discussing travel at home, an employee of Kuiguang Group had a serious face and was typing on the computer.
The hustle and bustle and relaxation outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"The variety show is over and the movie's leading actors have been chosen." Guo Rang, who was chosen by Yang Ruoqian as the new film producer, was busy with the final finishing touches of the script.
About three months ago, he took the liberty to interrupt Mr. Yang while he was having a meal and told him his creative idea, which was actually adopted by Mr. Yang!
Although the tone finally set by Mr. Yang was totally unrelated to his own creativity, Guo Rang still put in his full effort and designed a complete plot together with other professional screenwriters according to Yang Ruoqian's requirements.
In order to maintain his creative state and connect to the variety show as soon as possible, Guo Rang went to great lengths to compete with almost all employees in the company for the rare opportunity to take a day off. He finally managed to obtain temporary permission to work during the long holiday.
"The lead actor is Zhang Wei, which is not bad." Guo Rang rubbed his sore fingers, "If it was a female lead, a lot of the plot would have to be deleted and revised, otherwise it would be a bit deliberate and abrupt."
Since the leading actors of this movie were selected from a variety show and Guo Rang was a new recruit, many media and film critics were not optimistic about Kuiguang Group's movie this time.
Even Liu Bi, who is already recognized as the person in charge of the Kuiguang Group, kept posting updates, analyzing the film step by step from casting to subject matter, and finally came to a conclusion - the Kuiguang Group itself did not have such a high position for this film.
This is clearly a film about exchanging resources and expanding influence.
First of all, how do we determine whether the leading actor chosen through escape room selection is suitable for the role?
In fact, the name of the movie "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" limits the world view and expressiveness of the film's subject matter. Even if it is filmed well, it is difficult to be as shocking as "The Black Robe Inspection Team" and "The Wandering Blue Star".
It is impossible for a restaurant to produce only masterpieces, so Liu Bi called on everyone to be rational and not to use the requirements of the other two movies to judge this movie.
In this environment where there was external doubt and internal casting could not go as Guo Rang wished, the pressure he was under was indeed very heavy.
But Guo Rang is very grateful that the Kuiguang Group is willing to give him this opportunity and such a big stage to perform.
Guo Rang had no autonomy in the selection of the leading actors, but the funds allocated to him by the Kuiguang Group were very, very sufficient, so he could give free rein to his role and perfectly simulate the life of the "richest man".
"Producer Guo." Just as Guo Rang was concentrating on crafting the script, a screenwriter who had also applied for a leave came over and asked, "Are you ready to choose other roles?"
Logically speaking, this is not a question a screenwriter should ask a producer...even this question itself should not be asked.
However, among their initial film shooting team, only the two of them successfully applied for leave, so during these seven days, they had to handle all the work.
A certain degree of confusion is inevitable.
"We have confirmed part of it. What's wrong?" Guo Rang turned to look at the screenwriter. "Any new developments?"
"Well, Feng Luo called the front desk and said that she wanted to fight for an important female supporting role." The screenwriter nodded, "What do you think?"
Feng Luo...
Guo Rang was a little confused.
He remembered that Feng Luo won the second place in the variety show and won various resource packages awarded by the group? Why did he suddenly want to take a role in a movie? "This, I don't know how to deal with this." Guo Rang didn't dare to make his own decision. He picked up his phone and subconsciously wanted to send a message to Qi Mu.
Now all communications between the company and Yang Ruoqian himself will go through this secretary.
"Wait, Secretary Qi is on vacation, right?"
Guo Rang hadn't sent the message yet when he suddenly remembered that Qi Mu should be resting at home. His fingers immediately stopped and deleted the words he had typed one by one.
Fortunately, I didn’t post it…
"Who should I ask then?"
The screenwriter reminded him, "Mr. Yang seems to have sent a message in the leave adjustment group, talking about something about work. Why don't you ask him directly?"
For such a simple matter, should we just ask Mr. Yang directly?
In fact, the top management of the crew could make their own decisions on casting, but Guo Rang knew the positioning of his film in his boss's mind, so he did not dare to act on his own.
What if the company's top management decides to use this supporting role to exchange resources with Feng Luo?
Guo Rang hesitated for a moment, then thought that Feng Luo was more or less a first-tier celebrity with a net worth starting in the nine figures, and felt that this matter really could not be taken lightly, so he plucked up his courage and opened the chat box with Yang Ruoqian.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Yang. I'm very sorry to disturb your vacation. I have an important question for you. Our crew just received a call from Feng Luo. She said she wants to take an important female supporting role in "The Richest Man in Jinhai City". Do you have any instructions?"
In fact, in Guo Rang's heart, as long as the pay Feng Luo asked for was not too high, he would be very willing to let her play an important supporting female role.
After the show "Survival in the Secret Room" ended, Feng Luo's image has begun to lean towards that of a comedian...
The essence of "The Richest Man in Jinhae City" is also a funny and imaginative movie, and the two are very compatible.
Feng Luo is very popular now, and can also bring a lot of heat to the movie itself.
I just don’t know why Feng Luo wants the supporting role.
A few seconds later, just as Guo Rang was lost in his thoughts, Yang Ruoqian's reply came directly: "You should discuss the crew's choice with the director. Don't ask me. I won't interfere."
"Don't worry about not having enough pay. If the crew is short of funds due to pay, just apply directly to the finance department."
"You are already a mature producer. You should learn to judge some things on your own. I put you in this position and give you the authority to handle this kind of thing by default."
Guo Rang was both terrified and flattered, and quickly sent a message back: "Boss Yang, I'm so sorry! I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"It's okay, just handle it yourself."
Seeing Guo Rang's expression changing from good to bad, the screenwriter didn't dare to come closer and could only ask carefully: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay. Mr. Yang asked us to make our own judgment and handle it ourselves." Guo Rang put down his phone. "I just didn't expect Mr. Yang to give us so much support... He probably didn't have high expectations for this movie."
"How could that be?" The screenwriter was a little unconvinced. "Mr. Yang allocated so much money to this film, the expectations should be very high!"
Guo Rang said seriously: "These funds are likely to be used for film remuneration or other benefits, and may not be used to value the film itself."
"Just think about it, for a variety show as important as 'The Room Survivor', if the grand prize is the lead role in a movie that flopped and had a small investment, how embarrassing would it be to tell others about it?"
"The investment is huge, and the winner gets paid a high salary. Even if the film doesn't do well in the end, at least you can save face."
The screenwriter finally understood: "So that's it!"
"But strategic goals are strategic goals." Guo Rang took a deep breath, as if to cheer himself up. "Boss Yang's investment is here, and our script is also here...Boss Yang doesn't care about the tactical success or failure this time, but who says we can't do well at the tactical level?"
"With so much money, we can finally make a good movie! Then we will give those media a resounding response and give President Yang a big surprise!"
The new screenwriter was also a little excited at this time: "Then, Producer Guo, are you going to let Feng Luo join?"
"Let her come!"
ps: I counted and it seems that I already owe 4 chapters. Horrible, my hands are about to break. (End of this chapter)
