"What the hell?" Yang Ruoqian almost spit out the food in his mouth. "130,000, just to buy a trophy designed with feet?!"
Are all rich people nowadays so boring?
After the lesson from the last concert, Mr. Yang already knew that as long as it was a limited edition, even if it was a piece of shit, someone would bid it up to a high price.
But the problem is that there must be a cap on this high price!
130,000 is not worth mentioning to the current Kuiguang Group, but it is not valuable and is extremely insulting.
Besides, this trophy is different from the limited edition album, so there is no commemorative significance in buying it...
"Forget it." Yang Ruoqian swallowed the food in his mouth. "Next time, tell the marketing department not to auction off the trophy. Just set a price and sell it to whoever grabs it first."
Comforting himself with these words, Yang Ruoqian put on his wireless headphones and continued watching the video.
The video blogger's highly recognizable voice came from the headphones: "Recently, many friends who follow the entertainment industry and those who don't must have heard a piece of gossip. The Kuiguang Group held an awards ceremony and gave the 'Worst Film Award' to their arch-rival Yuefu Group."
"The most important thing is that Yuefu Group can only grit their teeth and swallow it - because their "Devil's Fortress" really deserves the title of the worst."
"If any of you missed the award ceremony, you can go and rewatch the live broadcast before watching this video. If any of you don't know what Kuiguang Group is, then my assessment of you is that you have no ambition!"
"Enough of the jokes, let's get back to business. Logically, a company should just disgust its rival by giving them an award, and that should be the end of it... But what kind of company is Kuiguang Group, and who is Yang Ruoqian? Can he let things end here?"
"As we all know, the entertainment industry is a very closed circle. Outsiders have to work hard just to get in, let alone award ceremonies. But what about the Kuiguang Group? Well, it got in so easily, and it's doing very well. The other old-school conservatives are so angry about it, but they can't do anything about it."
"At this time, some friends will ask, why does Yuefu Group need to care about Kuiguang Group? An award issued by a company, even the organizing committee is made up of their own people, what value can it have?"
"Oh, right, that's the point! I'll explain it to you in detail next."
Mr. Yang was also very curious after seeing this - yes, what value could the awards given by his entertainment company, which was established less than two years ago, have?
Why is no one on the Internet questioning this award now?
Mr. Yang, who was confused about what he had created, perked up and listened to others' analysis of his achievements with a serious learning attitude.
The up master continued: "When it comes to tactics, it can be summed up in one word: resources!"
“Although this award has just been established, both the practical benefits and resources are substantial.”
"Kuiguang Group only invited star directors to receive the awards, but did not require them to confirm the value of the awards on the Internet. Look at the trophies, isn't it impressive? Each one costs at least 300,000! Not to mention the resources that cannot be bought with any amount of money in the entertainment industry."
“After investing so much resources, even if they don’t recognize this award in their hearts, they can’t deny its value in public.”
"Other people who didn't get the prize must be jealous and want to get it, so they won't express any objections."
"When there is no dissenting voice on the entire Internet, the value of the Golden Image Foundation Award is not equal to a little girl who lets Yang Ruoqian dress up. He can brag about it however he wants."
"At this point, someone will surely ask, are the other companies and celebrities fools? They can't see such an obvious thing? Well, this is seeing the truth but not saying it out loud - imagine that someone with considerable influence in the field recognizes your ability, and you turn around and say that he has no gold content, isn't that tantamount to slapping yourself in the face?"
"What is an open conspiracy? What is a tiger made of three people? This is it. When everyone agrees that the Golden Statue Foundation Award is valuable, whether it is valuable or not becomes less important."
"Moreover, I also specifically checked the directors and actors of these award-winning works and found that most of them were people who lost in the selection and had never won relevant awards. The Kuiguang Group's award-giving has attracted this group of upstarts - they will definitely support this award with all their strength, even if they have to pinch their noses to praise it."
When the up-host said this, the comments were already full of exclamations like "Oh wow", "So that's how it is", and "Boss Yang's operation is awesome".
After Kuiguang Group became a star enterprise, Mr. Yang, who never concealed his identity, gradually gained fame on the Internet.
It's not the kind of fame that's visible to the public like a celebrity, but the kind of fame that comes to life as soon as you hear the name.
In many cases, many netizens even call him "Mr. Yang" directly.
Yang Ruoqian looked at the barrage: "..."
This up's analysis is very logical, his arguments and evidence are very sufficient, and his logic is very strong. The only problem is that Yang Ruoqian didn't think that much about it.
What are the carefully selected winners?
He never took care of such trivial matters and directly let the organizing committee take care of it! While he was madly complaining in his heart, the up master continued: "Finally, it's the interesting little thing mentioned in the title - when the Golden Mop Award was presented, the victim... No, the winner naturally didn't come. After all, who can bear such humiliation? There's no need to talk about resources. It seems a pity that no one received this trophy."
"So our boss Yang made an amazing decision. He decided to sell these funny trophies directly on the online auction platform! After the auction of these trophies, Kuiguang Group recovered at least 600,000 or 700,000 yuan."
"I was very curious about which rich person was willing to spend such a huge amount of money to buy this kind of toy. Guess what I found? I found that the accounts of these anonymous buyers were all newly registered, and their IP addresses were all in Pengcheng! Can you guess who the mysterious buyers of these trophies are now?"
"You don't want it when it's given to you for free? Then spend hundreds of thousands to buy it. Hahahaha! It's simply murderous and heartbreaking!"
"I am just a small figure, I dare not make up rumors without any reason. I didn't say anything, I didn't target anyone, and I didn't make any hints."
"Of course... I've said so much, but the most important factor is that Kuiguang Group itself is strong, has made remarkable achievements, and has produced works that are recognized by the international community. This is what has created the current situation."
"Otherwise, no matter how many methods you have, it's just for your own amusement."
"Okay, that's it for today's show. See you next time. By the way, advertising space is for rent. Is there anyone willing to lend me some money?"
After watching the video, Mr. Yang was silent for a moment, quickly finished the remaining food, and hurriedly left the office.
Good job, Yuefu Group, you finally caught the ghost.
No wonder some people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a trophy. It turns out they are trying to save their own reputation.
It's normal to think about it - imagine a scenario where Yuefu Group's old rival Tianyue Group secretly bought these trophies, fanned the flames to acknowledge the value of the Academy Awards, and displayed the trophies in the most conspicuous position. This would be a huge blow to Yuefu Group.
The loss of reputation cannot be solved by just a few hundred thousand dollars.
So in this matter, Yuefu Group lost all face, and President Yang inexplicably earned hundreds of thousands of dollars... It was a lose-lose situation.
"How abominable! He actually bought the trophy himself!" Yang Ruoqian cursed bitterly as he walked into the office. "Next time, we must make the trophy a fixed price model. Even if we use software, we can only rely on luck to grab it."
Anyway, there is only one item, and it is difficult to count the number of people who grab the trophy using software, so who gets the trophy in the end depends on luck.
After cursing, Yang Ruoqian sighed, casually flipped through the documents on the table, then turned on the computer to play some games to relax.
In order to avoid being interrupted by Qi Mu rushing into the office in the middle of playing the game like before, Yang Ruoqian specially asked the secretary in advance to make sure that she would not look for him in the afternoon before opening the game.
"Alas, it's really not easy to be a boss." Yang Ruoqian sighed and waited for the game match.
However, just as the afternoon working hours arrived, Yang Ruoqian received a call on his mobile phone on time.
"No! Why is it so difficult for me to catch a fish?"
Yang Ruoqian clicked on the game match in despair and glanced at the phone screen.
The caller shown above is Lu Shuyuan.
Xiao Lu?
Isn't she still out of town, participating in the variety show "You Are the Best Job"? Due to the nature of the guests in this job-hunting variety show, most of the guests will not stay in the city where the program is located during the show. Many people, including the CEO of Gaoyao Group, will fly back to the company headquarters one day after filming the variety show, or even on the same day, to continue their work.
Of course, President Yang would definitely not miss this great opportunity. As long as the variety show was being filmed, Lu Shuyuan was directly banned from returning to Jinhai City and from returning to work in the company.
Employees who work hard to spend money while on business trips are truly good employees.
Even if she encounters a big problem, she can only contact through phone or WeChat.
What happened now that you suddenly want to call me?
I haven’t heard that the production team of “You Are the Best” has revealed any news... and if it was a big news related to Lu Shuyuan, the secretary would have come to report it long ago.
It seems that Lu Shuyuan herself encountered a problem, and it was not a big problem.
Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and pressed the connect button: "Hello, Xiao Lu? What's the matter? Is the travel fund insufficient?"
Lu Shuyuan, who had developed the habit of thrift since childhood, quickly denied: "Mr. Yang, no, it's not that there is not enough funds... I encountered a problem here, and I want to ask for your opinion."
"What's the matter? If it's a personnel matter, you can make the decision yourself."
Now Yang Ruoqian of Kuiguang Group is only responsible for some special personnel appointments, and the recruitment of the most ordinary employees has now been completely handed over to the Human Resources Department.
Anyway, Mr. Yang has tried to recruit a large number of employees of all kinds, but the results were always the same, so he simply gave up struggling.
As for why the Human Resources Department is still adhering to its original habit of recruiting people in a crazy way, and how this tradition has been preserved and become the first learning task for all employees of the Human Resources Department when they join the company, Yang Ruoqian himself cannot explain it clearly.
Lu Shuyuan immediately said, "Boss Yang, this matter is related to both personnel and variety shows. It doesn't look like anything you told me to do, so I want to ask you what you think."
After appearing on the variety show, Lu Shuyuan realized that she had shortcomings in her abilities and planned to slowly improve her abilities through learning and execution, so as to make herself worthy of the position of Director of the Human Resources Department of Kuiguang Group as soon as possible.
Yang Ruoqian was immediately curious: "Are they all connected? Tell me."
Lu Shuyuan said: "Have you watched the latest episode of the variety show? Do you still remember Xiao Cheng, the guest of Yuefu Group?"
He was the guest who recruited the "Nobel Prize candidate" into Yuefu Group, right?... It was hard for Yang Ruoqian not to have an impression of this person who provided him with laughs for the whole month.
"I watched the latest episode and I have some impression of this guy... I just saw the program team issued an announcement saying that Yuefu Group plans to remove him and replace him with another guest, right?"
Lu Shuyuan affirmed: "Yes, Mr. Yang, it's this Xiao Cheng."
Yang Ruoqian continued to ask: "What happened to him?"
Lu Shuyuan said, "He found me this morning and said he wanted to discuss something with me... He wanted to appear on the variety show "Your Best Job" as a job seeker and hoped that I would hire him. I didn't dare to make a decision on my own, so I came to ask you."
"What?" Yang Ruoqian didn't react. "He went on a variety show as a job seeker, hoping that we would accept him? Doesn't he work at Yuefu Group anymore?"
"According to him, after the variety show that day, the 'Nobel Prize candidate' went to work at Yuefu Group smoothly, but Xiao Cheng himself was fired on the spot... He was out on a business trip and didn't have to come back."
Yang Ruoqian was even more confused. He thought about it and asked uncertainly, "Well, he was fired because of this, so he holds a grudge against Yuefu Group and plans to humiliate his old employer in this way?"
Lu Shuyuan was not sure: "Should it be?"
He was fired for hiring the wrong person on a variety show, and then returned to the variety show as a job seeker and completed cooperation with a rival company... This is not just a humiliation to Yuefu Group, it's using Yuefu Group's face as toilet paper to wipe his butt!
You can't tell at ordinary times that Xiao Cheng is so ruthless! The production team shouldn't refuse something that is very effective for the show.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with money. People who can recruit a "Nobel Prize candidate" into their company probably don't have much ability.
Mr. Yang suddenly became playful and said, "No problem, agree to him!" (End of this chapter)
