At 3:00 AM on October 2nd, Bai Hao led Li Shuang and the others to the dock.
The dock was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Bai Yu drove his Hongqi sedan, with Li Shuang and Wang Hai in tow, and parked the car in front of his own parking space.
By this time, the Yuxue ship had already docked, and the crew on board were beginning to prepare to unload the cargo.
At the dock, four large refrigerated trucks are ready to be loaded with goods and get to work.
"Cousin, cousin, what are you doing on the boat? Come down, I have something to tell you!"
Beside the white fishing berth, he looked up at the deck of the fishing boat and the first thing he saw was Liu Tianyu, who was directing the crew. Then he called the other man down.
"Xiaoyu, why are you only arriving now? My uncle arrived more than ten minutes earlier than you, and he's currently inspecting the cargo with my dad in the hold. Do you want to come up and take a look?"
When Liu Tianyu saw that the person who called him was Bai Yu, he quickly got off the boat.
Although Bai Yu usually calls Liu Tianyu "cousin," during work hours, he is just an employee. To put it nicely, he is a junior manager; to put it bluntly, he is just a laborer.
Therefore, whenever Bai Yu calls him, he will come immediately and do things according to Bai Yu's instructions without any hesitation.
After all, Bai Yu is the boss, and during working hours, his cousin is also an employee and has to listen to Bai Yu.
"I'm not going up, cousin. I came over tonight so you could have your crew load two truckloads of shrimp and take them away first. The factory will officially start production tomorrow morning, and our company account will be live-streaming tonight."
So time is a bit tight right now. Tell the guys to work harder and load up two trucks of shrimp to get them out of there first. I'll treat them to breakfast tomorrow morning.
By the way, you need to keep track of how much cargo you load, and keep accurate records. Your year-end bonuses will be calculated from the profits of these goods.
So, for the sake of your own finances, you must keep good records. You can discuss this with Li Shuang, and bring them to the company together later; they'll need to reconcile the accounts there.
Since this was the first time Bai Yu was handing over the catch from the sea to the processing plant, he inevitably went out of his way to explain everything to Liu Tianyu, down to the smallest detail.
Liu Tianyu nodded repeatedly as he listened, and then went to arrange the work.
In contrast, Bai Yu, Li Shuang, and the others exchanged glances.
"Brother Yu, if you feel tired, you should go back and rest. Ah Hai and I will take care of things here, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Although our company is going to do some live-streaming sales tomorrow, the quantity isn't too large, so it won't take long to finish. Don't worry.
"Go back to sleep without worry? How can I go back? Didn't you hear what I was saying to my cousin? I'm treating my brothers to dinner tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I'll treat you to breakfast. You should go home early. If all else fails, you can take Ah Hai with you."
For some reason, Li Shuang seemed very afraid that Bai Yu wouldn't get enough rest.
However, after Li Shuang's repeated persuasion, Bai Yu still left. But instead of going home to rest, he returned to the company and fell asleep on the sofa in the company's conference room.
Bai Yu slept until noon, when Wang Hai woke him up for breakfast.
Thanks to the company's location on the first floor of Uncle Sun's hotel, and the fact that most of the chefs in the kitchen were Bai's father's apprentices, Bai Yu and his colleagues had very good meals. They ate the same food as the hotel staff every day.
The only difference is that the hotel staff ate in their staff canteen, while Bai Yu and the others ate at their own company.
Given the relationship between Bai Yu's family and Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun originally planned to provide meals for Bai Yu's company employees. However, after some consideration, Bai Yu decided to pay for the meals and offer a yearly subscription.
Currently, the company has fifteen employees, including Bai Yu and others. Bai Yu provides them with a food allowance of 100,000 yuan per year.
This standard isn't high, but it's not low either.
If their company increases its staff, the corresponding food expenses will naturally continue to rise.
Of course, Bai Yu and his crew didn't pay in cash; instead, they used goods as payment. Whenever the Yu Xue ship caught high-end seafood, they would give priority to Uncle Sun's hotel.
Overall, their relationship is mutually beneficial.
After Bai Yu was woken up, she had a better lunch today, with fish, meat, and soup.
"Ah Hai, how's things going at the docks? Why didn't Shuangzi come back for dinner? Is it just the two of us at the company today?"
While Bai Yu was eating, he noticed something: from beginning to end, it was just the two of them eating; no one else had appeared.
"Shuangzi and the others have already eaten. You were still sleeping before, so they didn't wake you up. After they finished eating, they went back to their work."
By the way, Brother Yu, Shuangzi asked me to tell you that you don't need to worry about the goods. Just focus on getting your energy back, since your work is in the evenings.
Five or six truckloads of goods have already been delivered to the factory, and they're already quite busy. You can rest assured about everything.
While eating, Wang Hai told Bai Yu about the current situation.
Although it was their company's first time doing this, Li Shuang was capable, and everything was coordinated very smoothly.
Wang Hai had been following Li Shuang all morning, so he knew the situation well. If Bai Yu wanted to know anything, she could just ask him.
"You want me to be well-rested for work tonight? What work do I have to do tonight? Aren't we going to do a live-streaming sales event tonight? The sales work was handed over to Ah Sheng, so what does it have to do with me? Do you expect me to just stand by and watch?"
With these questions in mind, Bai Yu finished her lunch.
Just then, an employee from the company's publicity department walked over with a notebook.
"Mr. Bai, the video of the voyage provided by Captain Liu has been edited. Now we need to use your account and our company's account to post it as part of the collaborative creation campaign to drive traffic to the company's account."
This employee is the company's latest recruit, and also Bai Yu's junior from Ocean University; they are all graduates of Ocean University.
When the company was preparing to launch live-streaming e-commerce, they had already started recruiting, and their first choice was students from Ocean University of China, whether they were recent graduates or interns.
It's not that Bai Yu and his team look down on people from other places; it's just that the school has contacted them, hoping that once Bai Yu's company grows bigger, they will consider their alma mater more when hiring, thus solving the employment problem for students of Ocean University.
Then Bai Yu and his team recruited nine people from Ocean University. Among them were people responsible for post-production editing and promotion, people responsible for marketing, and people responsible for purchasing.
In short, their company's structure has been initially improved, and it is no longer like before, with only six people, which looks like a shell company.
Bai Yu took the notebook and looked at it. It did indeed contain videos of his uncle's recent voyage. His uncle was Captain Liu.
The video content included the seafood they caught, such as ribbonfish and crabs, which were basically the products they were going to promote in this live stream.
After finding no problems, Bai Yu followed the other party and went to the company's publicity department. She logged into her Douyin account, invited her company's account, and posted an advertising video.
This is the first video with advertising content that Bai Yu has posted in four years since he registered his account on Douyin. The script was even written by the company's publicity department.
Bai Yu didn't remember much about the other parts, but he remembered the last sentence of the copy very clearly: "See you tonight at 7 pm in the Yuxue Shipping live broadcast room!"
Yuxue Shipping is their company's registered blue V account, which is officially verified.
Upon seeing the last sentence, Bai Yu felt a sense of foreboding.
We'll meet there, shall we?
The person who posted this video is Bai Yu himself. Could it be that he's included in this "we"? Is he going to personally participate in tonight's live-streaming sales event?
No wonder Li Shuang said he needed to rest up; it turns out she was waiting for him here to keep Ah Sheng in check, right?
Indeed, Li Shuang's description of tonight's guest is spot on. Bai Yu is someone who has seen the world and appeared on bigger stages. He certainly doesn't feel stage fright in a small live-streaming sales room.
Not to mention live-streaming e-commerce, he's been to TV stations and even appeared on CCTV programs. Although he doesn't say much on the shows, basically just answering whatever the host asks, he's never backed down and has always been a man who faces the camera head-on.
But the most crucial point is that Bai Yu doesn't know how to sell products. He's only seen others sell products, but he doesn't know how to sell them himself. Does that mean it's enough for him to just appear in the live stream?
In any case, things are as they are now, and Bai Yu has figured out Li Shuang's plan, so let's just leave it at that.
Anyway, it's all his own company. If he can make the company bigger and stronger, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to appear in the live broadcast room as a decorative figure.
So what if someone insults me? At worst, they can just ignore the comments and bullet screen. It's no big deal.
Bai Yu's video immediately sparked heated discussions online, mainly about the fact that the number one short video creator was about to enter the live-streaming e-commerce industry.
Then, Yuxue Shipping's official account was also gaining followers at an exaggerated rate. Bai Yu's co-creation video was posted at 12:45, and by 2:00, Yuxue Shipping's account already had 200,000 followers, and it was still growing at an extremely fast pace.
As time passed, at five o'clock in the afternoon, just as Bai Yu was about to go to the hotel next door for dinner, Li Xue and Xia Jing returned to the company.
"Brother Bai, where are you going?"
"It's lunchtime. I'm going to get some food over there. Do you two want some? If so, I can bring some back for you both."
Bai Yu looked at Li Xue and Xia Jing blocking his way. Just as he was about to walk around them, Li Xue pulled him back.
"Brother Xiaobai, you can have dinner later tonight. Jingjing and I will do your makeup first. After we're done, there will be plenty of food for you when the show starts."
? ? ?
"What? You need to put on makeup?"
Although Bai Yu had guessed that he might be on camera tonight, he never thought he would need to wear makeup. Why would a grown man like him wear makeup?
From childhood to adulthood, Bai Yu has only ever applied two kinds of products to her face: one is moisturizer to prevent dryness, and the other is sunscreen.
Now you're making him put on makeup? Isn't that ruining his manly image?
In the end, despite Bai Yu's repeated refusals, the makeup was never done, and they didn't even get to have dinner.
As the time drew closer to seven o'clock, the entire company sprang into action, with one of the offices even being converted into a live-streaming studio.
At that moment, Li Shuang arrived at the company carrying a large box, then went straight into the live-streaming room, took out the products from the box one by one, and put them into the refrigerator for storage.
Just as Li Shuang entered, there were two other people in the room, Bai Yu and Lu Sheng, who were familiarizing themselves with the environment of the live broadcast room.
"Hey, our busy CEO Li is back! You've been running around all day, you must be exhausted. Since you've been so busy, the company has to reward you. How about you join us for a live stream tonight?"
Bai Yu glared at Li Shuang, seething with hatred for this guy who had tricked him. Because of him, Bai Yu hadn't eaten yet, and his stomach was growling with hunger.
"Brother Yu, Ah Sheng, I've already put all the products in the refrigerator. When I'm doing the live stream later, you can just go and get whichever product I'm introducing. We're new to this industry, so we don't have enough staff yet. Otherwise, I would have assigned you two assistants."
"Are you all almost ready? The live stream is about to start. I'll go check on the backend preparations first. You guys familiarize yourselves with the products!"
Li Shuang didn't dare to say a word to what Bai Yu said. After telling them to familiarize themselves with the product, he immediately made an excuse to leave.
"Check how the preparations are going backstage. The backstage is right in front of us, where did he go to check?"
Bai Yu and his team's live-streaming studio is quite spacious, over thirty square meters, with less than twenty square meters used for live streaming. The rest of the space is used to house various equipment.
For example, lighting, backstage computers, and other items. So when Li Shuang said she wanted to check how things were prepared backstage, it was just an excuse.
Bai Yu and Lu Sheng both expressed their utter contempt for Li Shuang.
Despite their disdain, they still had to make the necessary preparations. They then went to the refrigerator and looked at the information about the goods to be sold that day.
However, there aren't many varieties, only fifteen in total, including five types of shrimp: tiger prawn, mantis shrimp, black tiger prawn, small green lobster, and mantis shrimp.
If mantis shrimp is considered a type of shrimp, then there are six kinds.
In addition, there was a note above these products with the names of some dishes and a sentence, asking Bai Yu to choose a few to cook. This would be the two brothers' dinner.
