In the office of the president of Kuiguang Group, Yang Ruoqian casually put aside the documents sorted out by the secretary and asked, "Qi Mu, how is the progress of the thing I asked you to do?"
Qi Mu glanced at the documents he had packed and kept a smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, the internship places have been distributed to the universities that meet the requirements according to your request. However, we have a large number of places in total, but there are also many universities that meet the requirements. The number of places that each university can get is actually quite limited."
Thousands of people are indeed a lot for a film crew and very difficult to coordinate, but for so many universities, there are still too many people and too little resources.
Moreover, it is difficult for Yang Ruoqian to interfere in how the quotas are allocated within the university - for this kind of opportunity, some quotas will definitely be taken away by various people and allocated to a fixed number of good students.
Yang Ruoqian nodded: "How is the recruitment going?"
"Almost all the recruitment quotas of colleges and universities are full." Qi Mu knew that his boss was very concerned about this matter, and continued, "It is difficult for us to supervise how the specific quotas are allocated, but we can still manage the identities and salaries of the participating students."
For example, all wages must be paid directly into the student’s personal account, and no payments will be made to either the agency or the school’s account.
The name on the bank card must be verified before salary is paid.
As for the fact that the money has already been given to the students but the school still wants to take it back by force, Yang Ruoqian feels that no university would be so shameless as to do so for such a small amount of money.
If this is true, it would mean a complete break with Kuiguang Group, and it would be absolutely impossible to get such an internship opportunity in the future.
This kind of loss cannot be compensated by a small amount of money.
"Yes, when will these students arrive?" Yang Ruoqian nodded and asked again.
Qi Mu said without hesitation: "According to your request, the group will reimburse the travel expenses for all students. All students can arrive within three days."
The reason why the specific travel expenses are not mentioned is that the ways to come to Jinhai vary depending on the geographical location of the university.
For places farther away, you can naturally take a plane, and for places closer, the only way is to take the high-speed rail. Even for local universities in Jinhai City, no matter how much you reimburse, you can only reimburse the taxi fare.
"Not bad." Yang Ruoqian nodded with satisfaction, "The children are still very active."
That's definitely positive...
They have an internship certificate issued by the Kuiguang Group and a daily salary of 200 yuan. Where have the college students who have just entered the society seen such a situation?
There are even many people who think that they have to pay 200 yuan to get this internship spot.
Qi Mu was silent for half a second, and then continued, "Boss Yang, I'm actually more worried about one issue... the crew has crammed so many extras made up of students into the cast all at once. They are generally inexperienced, curious, and restless."
"There are so many high-value props in the crew. I'm worried that with so many people rushing over together, it's inevitable that some of the high-value props will be damaged."
"If these props are damaged, can the students afford to pay for it? Or should we ask the students for compensation?"
If it were an ordinary extra, the crew and the actors would definitely need to sign a corresponding contract, stipulating which things the actors are exempt from liability for and which things the actors are responsible for... If high-value items of the crew are damaged due to personal reasons of the actors, corresponding compensation must be made.
Of course, in most cases the crew will purchase insurance for the corresponding high-value props, so this situation is a different matter.
However, seeing so many students coming in large numbers, many insurance companies will directly refuse to provide insurance.
If a valuable bag falls to the ground and is stepped on a few times, its value may be cut in half.
If a high-end watch falls to the ground and has some mechanical failure, it can directly cause losses of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
With so many props and a large number of inexperienced extras, bumps and scratches on luxury goods are inevitable.
If no insurance company is willing to sign a policy, the damage to the props will either be counted as loss or someone else will need to be found to compensate.
Yang Ruoqian listened to Qi Mu's question and his expression gradually became serious: "This is indeed a problem..."
Qi Mu straightened up and waited for Mr. Yang's next instructions.
As a secretary, she had always known that Mr. Yang was very good at solving this kind of problem.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Yang Ruoqian said, "You are right. If students know that a mistake they make could damage a prop and cause the crew to lose hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, they will probably be restricted in everything they do, which will greatly affect their acting skills. Qi Mu, you are great. You are so thoughtful."
Qi Mu: “???”
What? If students knew that they might damage these luxury goods, it might affect their acting skills and the quality of the film? Mr. Chairman, they are just a group of college students. They are just a group of college students who have never seen the world and have never acted in a play! Besides, what does it matter if a group of people who go to the audience to cheer during a football game have good acting skills? Anyway, they are given a very far shot, with hundreds of people on the same screen. Who cares about the acting skills of the extras in such a shot?
Qi Mu meant that there were too many students and it was difficult to coordinate, so it was easy to break things!
Yang Ruoqian ignored Qi Mu's expression, which was almost unbearable, and waved his hand: "Well, tell all the students that although these props are expensive, they are insured. Let them use them freely, don't worry about bumps, and don't be restrained!"
Qi Mu reminded: "Boss Yang, our props don't have insurance policies..."
"Qi Mu." Yang Ruoqian glanced at the secretary and said earnestly, "Sometimes telling a white lie is harmless."
"...Yes, Mr. Yang."
"The current employment environment is becoming more and more inward-looking, and young people have fewer and fewer opportunities. We should be more tolerant of them and give them more opportunities." Yang Ruoqian added, "For our group, let alone losing a few luxury goods, even if the entire movie has zero box office, the loss is negligible compared to the group's assets."
"But a luxury item may be the result of years of hard work by a young person. As long as it's not intentional, why bother to haggle with the kids about these things? To put it bluntly, they just want to make a living."
"If it's broken, it's broken. I can just buy a new one. I won't blame the crew or anyone else. There's no need to be so stingy."
"Our company has countless opportunities to make movies like this, and there is almost unlimited room for trial and error... But these kids may only have this one chance in their lives. Since the opportunity is so rare, we should let them go all out. We make so much money, so it's no big deal to take on some responsibility."
"Qi Mu, before you came to the group, all you lacked was this one opportunity, right?"
The era when the success or failure of a film determined the life or death of a company is long gone.
The company now has abundant cash flow, no debt at all, zero leverage, and all its assets are high-quality assets...
The profit or loss of one or two movies, or even four or five big productions, is nothing to the group as a whole.
What's more, Mr. Yang has a system guarantee, and he would love to make a loss.
Qi Mu, who was originally feeling a little helpless, was stunned again when he heard Yang Ruoqian's serious tone.
Before joining Kuiguang Group, Qi Mu also experienced all kinds of workplace nastiness and was asked by his leader to entertain clients either explicitly or implicitly.
It was because she refused these social engagements that she was unable to get a promotion or a raise despite her outstanding business abilities.
In fact, the problems she encountered were similar to those encountered by her students to some extent.
"Boss Yang, I'm sorry, I didn't consider this." Qi Mu looked at the young boss in front of him again and said sincerely, "I understand what you mean. I will tell the crew to do it."
Now many people outside are curious about how Yang Ruoqian was able to make the company so big in such a short time...
Some amateur analysts from the self-media have started from various cases and broken down a large number of unrepeatable successes in detail, and explained them in a clear and logical way.
There are also professional analysts who start from the market and analyze how Yang Ruoqian uses his products to grasp a certain market group.
But no one has ever analyzed Yang Ruoqian's personality and behavior.
Qi Mu suddenly felt that perhaps Mr. Yang's success was closely related to the fact that he was generous when necessary and calculative when necessary.
For those bloggers and up-loaders who took bribes to fabricate rumors and discredit the company, even if they cannot get much compensation, they must spend a lot of money to collect evidence and sue everyone.
It seems that he is being petty to the extreme.
But once it comes to other people, such as Shang Qianyu who has been passed around in various ways, a writer with dreams, an imaginative escape room designer, or ordinary white-collar workers like himself who have ups and downs in the workplace... Mr. Yang is very willing to give them a chance.
And he is very generous, the kind of person who doesn't seem to care about gains and losses at all.
For example, the staff cafeteria and so many places for leisure and entertainment. In fact, in Qi Mu's opinion, there is no need to make them so luxurious.
Kuiguang Group...is truly worthy of its name.
"Okay, go and make the arrangements." Yang Ruoqian didn't care too much and waved his hand, "Remember your current identity. You are the administrative secretary assistant to the chairman of Kuiguang Group. You need to be generous in many things!"
Qi Mu is a good secretary in every way, except that she is a little too good... Letting her manage the company can often save a lot of hidden expenses.
This girl needs to correct her positioning of herself.
"Okay." Qi Mudi felt that she was doing something so meaningful besides work, so she nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, all your requests will be arranged in place."
After saying that, she took the documents, turned around and left the office.
Yang Ruoqian watched the secretary leave, sighed, and said to himself: "Alas, when I first named the company 'Kuai Guang', it was meant to sound like 'kui guang'. Now looking at the state of the company, this name really doesn't live up to my expectations."
…
Three days later, Gimhae City Airport.
The young couple got off the plane without looking around. They left the plane very skillfully and took their checked luggage.
"It hasn't been long, and we're back again..." the boy complained, "The last time we came here was for the entertainment project of Kuiguang Group, but this time we came here for an internship. This is how unpredictable things are."
"Besides, the crew has fully covered our flights, accommodation and meals this time, so we are basically making money for free!"
"It's not that simple." The boy looked at his girlfriend and shook his head. "Do you know what 200 a day, including food, accommodation and air tickets, means? That means Kuiguang Group spends at least 10,000 a month on us."
"How can a bunch of college students like us get 10,000 yuan a month? It must be because the crew's work schedule is very tight and the tasks are very difficult. When we get to the hotel, you will have a headache after the work schedule is handed out... Have a good rest and be prepared to be exhausted this month."
The work is heavy and the task is difficult...
The girl got a little nervous again: "What do you think? If we can't complete the crew's tasks well, or mess up something, will we not get the work certificate?"
“It’s possible.”
The two chatted as they got into the special car that was responsible for picking them up.
Dozens of minutes later, the two looked at the hotel in front of them, looked it up and down for several times, and then said in disbelief: "Is this our 'dorm' for the next month? Seriously?"
Although the hotel in front of us is not a luxurious five-star hotel, it is also a four-star hotel with brand new and clean decoration, good service, spacious rooms and complete facilities!
And it’s one room per person!
"What kind of work do we have to do that requires this kind of rest environment?" The boy shuddered. "Are we going to be asked to do any high-risk activities?!"
What they didn't know was that if the system had not allowed extras to be given VIP treatment, Yang Ruoqian would have arranged for them all to sleep in an expensive resort hotel.
"I think I should check the work arrangements and precautions first." The girl, who had lived in a dormitory since junior high school and shared a small rental house with her boyfriend in college, had never experienced such a good accommodation environment! The two quickly checked in, put their luggage in the locker, and immediately turned on their mobile phones, waiting for the person in charge of connecting with their university to send a notification.
Ten minutes later, a message appeared in the group chat: "Students should have arrived at the hotel and packed their things, right? In order for everyone to devote their greatest energy to work, we have already purchased hotel management services, 6 sets of clothes a day, buffet breakfast, etc. You don't need to pay extra, just arrive at the set on time every day. The details will be disclosed when I meet with you. What students need to do today is to have a good rest and recharge your energy."
"By the way, when you enter the set, you may see some valuable items. Remember, they are all genuine. Although the set has purchased insurance for these items so as not to hinder everyone's performance, please don't destroy them intentionally."
"That's all. See you tomorrow, students!"
