Chapter 314: Poaching people in person, openly and honestly (5300)
As soon as Musk left, Fang Yu, Shen Shuyao, Lu Jiayan and several employees of Youzi Technology who were still working overtime had a meal, and then got into Skypod1409 to go to Xinhao.
Da Mimi and Repa have indeed accumulated a lot of pressure. Although Qianxun has no reason to cause trouble for them, the implementation of the signed agreement is bumpy.
But it's okay. On the surface, they did what they were supposed to do, and it seemed that Chihiro was the one who got into trouble. Even if she had some doubts about them, there was no real evidence.
Secondly, there is no way to delve into this matter, let alone bring it to the table.
However, Ai Qian Yi has been affected by Qian Xun and is now gradually showing signs of withering. Da Mi Mi is a little worried that since Three Lives Three Worlds is only given to Ai Qian Yi as a guarantee, will it not be popular enough by then?
It just so happened that Fang Yu also wanted to give them some compensation, and he promised that after the filming of this drama was completed, he would help Da Mimi talk to Ali and Tengxun about traffic.
These days, Da Mimi finally understood what kind of big leg she had embraced. After hearing Fang Yu's promise, how could she not repay him with gratitude?
Regularly massaging the Yongquan acupoint before going to bed can activate the kidney meridian qi, invigorate the body's positive energy, adjust the functions of the internal organs, thereby strengthening the body and preventing premature aging.
This is a health tip.
"This person who attended the Met Gala with Cindy Crawford looks so much like you?" Da Mimi held the Pad close to Fang Yu's face for comparison, looking suspicious.
On the iPad Pro, Fang Yuzheng, wearing a formal dress, is holding hands with Cindy Crawford and posing for the camera.
"My distant cousin." Fang Yu opened his mouth and said, "It's been four generations. He's a relative of my great-grandfather's generation."
"No wonder." Da Mimi suddenly realized, "Why are they so similar? Your family's genes are too strong, right?"
"Cindy Crawford is the best dressed this year. It's said her commercial prices have returned to the top after the Met Gala."
Reba's little head lifted up from Fang Yu's group, a look of envy on her face: "This dress is so beautiful. I wonder when I can attend the Met Gala."
As soon as Repa finished speaking, she saw Da Mimi's mocking look and shuddered. "Sister Mi, you should have a chance next year, right? Didn't that old man MK say last time that he would give you top resources after signing the contract?"
Da Mimi snorted. Although she could barely be considered a top star now, her resources in the fashion circle had never been very good, and she had basically no high-end luxury endorsements.
Not to mention compared with veteran superstars like Gong Huang, she is still a long way behind big-name stars like Fat Bingbing, Thin Bingbing, Junqi, and Zhang Ziyi.
When Da Mimi filmed Tiny Times, it was partly for the IP and partly mainly to get brand recognition. There were too many luxury goods in this movie. If she wore one of the popular items, who knows, she might be able to establish some relationship with the brand?
At last year's Paris Fashion Week, Pang Bingbing was invited to sit in the front row of the entire LV show. Da Mimi also went, but no brand invited her. She went on her own and attended many shows.
There's no way. I have no connections or backing in the fashion circle, and no outstanding works, so I can't make it to the top.
Even if there is a big Mimi in every elevator shouting: "58 Tongcheng is an amazing website." and "Are you okay?" it will still be boring.
Humph, what’s so great about that? I don’t need any backing, and I can get endorsements based on my own abilities.
Since the mountain won't come to me, then I will go to it.
The fact that we can now discuss cooperation with Michael Kors is also the result of Da Mimi's active initiative. MK is a light luxury brand that has only become popular for a few years. Its benchmark is Coach, so it is easier to take advantage of it.
Without reaching an agreement with MK, Da Mimi took the initiative to promote the product. From the second half of last year to now, she has actively carried MK in street photos.
The MK kendall that Wang Youran carried when she went to Womb last year was made popular by Da Mimi.
In just six months, the global sales of the bags that Da Mimi helped create increased by 47%! This growth was mainly contributed by Da Zhou.
It successfully allowed MK to see Da Mimi’s ability to sell products.
Therefore, MK approached Da Mimi to discuss endorsements, but still did not give her a global spokesperson contract, saying that MK had never looked for a global spokesperson, so they needed to be cautious and test the waters with the brand ambassador first.
But no matter what, Da Mimi has already stepped half a foot into the fashion circle, and has also received MK's verbal promise of an invitation to next year's met Gala.
"Met Gala next year?" Fang Yu sneered, twisting the hot Bodhi seeds in his hand. The Bodhi seeds were of good quality, shiny and delicate.
"It's uncertain whether there will be a Met Gala next year. This year's might be the last."
!!!
Da Mimi suddenly sat up, her body swaying like ripples, her eyes wide open: "Is this true? It's impossible?"
"Didn't you see the news about the theft at the Metropolitan Museum of Art?" Fang Yu asked curiously. "With such a big incident, how could the exhibition be held next year? The Metropolitan Museum of Art might even close down completely."
"What does the theft at the Metropolitan Museum of Art have to do with the Met Gala? Isn't the Met Gala hosted by Vogue?" Da Mimi was confused.
Fang Yu was speechless. "Sister, what is MET? Isn't it the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Don't you know that the Met Gala itself is hosted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Anna Wintour is just the co-chair of this charity gala."
Seeing Da Mimi's face full of ignorance, Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Forget it, Da Mimi is still lucky. Two days ago in Miami, Kendall Jenner and the Hadid sisters insisted on taking her to a surfing party.
Justin Bieber was also at the party. After he fell off his surfboard into the sea, the Hadid sisters laughed at him. Then he tried to save face by saying that it must be because the altitude was too high, which caused him to lack oxygen and fall off the surfboard.
wtf!
You say he is stupid, but he knows that high altitude will cause lack of oxygen.
You say he is smart, but he didn't use the word "altitude" when he said it, but "height above sea level".
Don't you think about what the word "sea" means?
And then! Several female models at the scene actually believed it!
Compared to them, Da Mimi is already considered knowledgeable and talented, so forget it.
Just as I was about to say something, Reba turned around with her face flushed.
"Baba, stop polishing it, it's getting patinaed."
Fang Yu turned around and saw that the cultural relics business was indeed very complicated!
The weather in Xinhao in May is neither too cold nor too hot. Except that the air is a little dry, it is very comfortable and suitable for outdoor activities.
Xi'erqi, where the headquarters of internet companies such as Tencent, Xinglang, Qianxun, Zhuchang, and Didi are gathered, may also be the region with the highest average intelligence level in the world besides the Bay Area.
It is also the area with the highest concentration of big scammers.
Tieling can't compare to this place.
What is most abundant here is stylish cafes, a considerable number of which are so-called "startup cafes".
In almost every coffee shop, there are people who look different at first glance but are the same when you look closely. Young, middle-aged and even elderly people wearing sportswear or plaid shirts and black-framed glasses are chatting about how to change the world.
Of course, the one who looks old may be thirty-four when asked about his age, which means he is only one year away from being optimized.
These people are basically immersed in their own world and rarely pay attention to others.
But there are exceptions.
"This year is definitely the best year for film and television investment. I currently have three projects on hand, and they are almost ready. The male and female leads of one of the big IP dramas have already been decided."
"Let me tell you, you know Bi Ri, right? It's the most popular online novel, the one about the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin. Is that IP big enough?"
"And now the male and female leads have been decided. The male lead is Lu Han, and the female lead is Yang Mi. It is planned to be a trilogy, with the first part having 88 episodes and a total investment of 210 million yuan."
"With this cast of leading men and women, plus this huge IP, I can tell you that this movie will recoup its costs before production even starts. We're only five million short of the initial capital. It's only because something unexpected happened to me, the investor, and I can't invest. Otherwise, this would be a rare opportunity."
"Oh, by the way, my name is He Jianfeng, CEO of Fengrui Culture. This is my business card."
Fang Yu stared at the screen of his mobile phone, used Luban No. 7's ultimate move, and took the time to look at the guy who was approaching with a shameless face.
He was no more than thirty years old, wearing a gray, wrinkled casual suit, and the mud under his fingernails had not been washed clean yet.
There is a blue tattoo on the back of his hand that was obviously drawn with a pen, making him look like a gangster who didn't even graduate from junior high school in the urban-rural fringe area.
Where the hell is this charlatan?
"Hey, did he say you agreed to play the leading female role?" Fang Yu raised her chin towards the other side of the coffee table.
"No, I haven't heard of it. Besides, isn't the heroine in "Blinding Sun" Liu Yifei? What does it have to do with me? Hahaha... Oops! Middle lane, the opponent is pressing hard in the middle lane. Hurry up and fire your cannon! Push them across, and you'll win the game, right?"
Da Mimi didn't look up either. She was still fully armed with a baseball cap, sunglasses and a mask. She held the phone in both hands, and her nails tapped on the phone screen quickly, making a clicking sound.
Fang Yu glanced at Da Mimi with dissatisfaction. He would be fined for using puns!
Besides, what entertainment industry has only one female lead who can cover the sun? You are in your prime now, okay?
Yang Mi!
Da Mimi's voice is so distinctive, and coupled with her outfit, the swindler named He recognized Da Mimi at once.
How come I met the real boss here?
What a fucking bad luck!
He Jianfeng is a so-called film and television industry broker who hangs around Xi'erqi and specializes in taking advantage of investors.
To call him a liar is really giving him a compliment.
There may indeed be such a project, but it actually has nothing to do with him. His role is a bit like the little bees that a real estate sales office looks for outside. He doesn't pay them a salary, but just tells them that there is such a thing. If you can deceive, ahem, attract investment, he will get a commission based on the proportion.
Therefore, He Jianfeng has been hanging out in various so-called entrepreneurial forums, brainstorming sessions, sharing sessions and the like for a long time. Most of the people in these occasions are looking for investment, but sometimes there are also outsider investors who don't know the way and want to squeeze in. If they can get lucky and get one, maybe that one deal will make them financially free.
In fact, whether they are in the film and television industry, the technology industry or investment securities, these people are not even considered peripheral people, but can only be considered as fleas.
It's just that his level is a bit too low-level. He has been cheating for more than four months and hasn't cheated anyone.
Today, I was waiting in this coffee shop and saw Fang Yu and Da Mimi getting out of the Lamborghini.
It's obvious that this guy is a brainless rich second generation who drives a sports car to pick up girls. He Jianfeng's eyes turned red when he saw him. He must get this deal!
But who could have thought that the fake Li Gui would meet the real Li Kui?
It was so damn unlucky. He Jianfeng didn't even wait for Fang Yu to ask him to leave. He touched his nose and walked away embarrassedly.
But he didn't go far. He just hid at another empty table about seven or eight meters away and waited for the opportunity.
The environment here is better, so the chance of meeting investors is relatively high.
But Da Mimi has a really good figure, no wonder she is called Da Mimi. I can blow it to people when I see them in the future. Da Mimi and I have a great relationship.
Those two over there... they're no good. You can tell at a glance that they're poor entrepreneurs.
Those two...are not okay either.
He Jianfeng's eyes darted around.
Eh? Why did Da Mimi leave? Did she go sit in the cafe?
What's her relationship with this guy? Did he just slap her on the butt?
Big news! I should have just taken a photo with my phone.
Huh? Someone else? No wonder Da Mimi hid inside. Apparently, this guy wants to meet someone else.
this……
Mr. Lei!
Holy shit! Holy shit!
——
"We won, and this season is basically secured." Fang Yu stretched and put down his phone. "By the way, the person I met will be here soon. You can go inside and hide for a while."
Da Mimi said with a nasal voice: "Okay~ But don't forget my business. Ask Mr. Lei if you can discuss the mobile phone endorsement."
Fang Yu waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, okay, I get it, hurry up and be obedient." Then he slapped the big Mimi drum.
Really familiar.
Da Mimi snorted, twisted her waist and walked into the coffee shop.
Less than a minute after Da Mimi went in, Lei Jun arrived.
He was accompanied by a young man who looked to be in his early thirties and had an elite demeanor.
It's already 27 or 28 degrees Celsius, and he's still wearing a neat three-piece suit. How can he not be an elite?
"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The phone call just ended. There's nothing I can do. Barat time is two and a half hours later than ours. At this time, people are just starting work, haha."
Lei Jun, wearing a light blue Fanke shirt, took a few quick steps with a smile on his face, then extended his hand and shook hands with Fang Yu.
"Mr. Lei, you're too polite. Just call me Fang Yu, or you can call me classmate Xiao Fang, haha." Fang Yu smiled heartily, shook hands with Lei Jun, and then extended his hand to the elite man next to Lei Jun.
"Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you again. The last time we met, you scared our company's finance manager, Xiao Lu, so much that he cried to me several times afterwards."
"After I got back, I did some calculations. If we hadn't been well prepared with the large orange model, I would have lost two points on this rice deal based on your offer. Hahaha."
The elite man smiled modestly. "Mr. Fang, you're too kind. Youzi Technology's current R&D costs for large models are relatively high, so it's practically impossible for them to lose money. The profit margin on rice is relatively low, so cost considerations are definitely top priority. Could you please apologize to Ms. Lu for me? I'll apologize to her in person next time we meet."
"And, in the end, you guys came out on top. I didn't expect that Orange Model is so professional in more than just ABC (cost accounting) and CVP (profit analysis)."
"They are even on par with the Big Four in terms of WTP (willingness to pay), CBA (cost-benefit analysis), and pricing models. That's truly remarkable."
"Boss Lei, I'm probably going to be unemployed soon. I think I can get some training in sales."
The elite man spoke in a calm tone and with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude. Although he was clearly flattering others, he made people feel that he was very sincere.
At the end, he joked with Boss Lei, and this small detail showed the relationship between him and Boss Lei.
Grandpa is good at judging people. I met Zhou Shuzi a few days ago. Although he is very professional, I didn’t think he was anything special.
Grandpa met him three years ago. He should have been younger then and not as experienced as he is now, but Grandpa could see his ability at a glance.
It turns out that old ginger is still spicy.
The last time we negotiated with Dami about how to integrate the Orange model into the Dami phone and the fee sharing issue, Dami's CFO Zhou Shuzi refused to give in and insisted on a 70:30 split, and a 70:30 profit split.
Rice seven, Youzi Technology three.
Who the hell is doing this? You, the rice, are in charge of operations, so aren't you the ones who decide how much profit will be?
But after Zhou Shuzi's detailed analysis, various reports and financial tools, he concluded that rice was still at a disadvantage.
In the end, Fang Yu got so angry that he simply fed all the relevant data to the Orange Model in front of everyone, asking the Orange Model to calculate the optimal distribution ratio. At the same time, he secretly used "financial insights" to determine the optimal distribution range.
In less than a minute, the Orange Model gave an analysis report. The results of the report were very close to what Fang Yu saw using financial insights. It was well-reasoned and used various financial and marketing analysis tools for analysis. It included both the process and the results, and was extremely convincing.
In the end, it was a 50-50 split, with the two companies each taking half of the difference of 300, 500, and 800 yuan above the regular version, regardless of profit or loss.
Xiaomi is currently planning to launch the Mi 6 early next year. The Mi 6 will be divided into two versions and eight models, namely the AI version and the regular version.
The AI version is three hundred, five hundred, and eight hundred more expensive than the regular version, depending on the model.
Initially, we considered monthly recharges, but on the one hand, we had to take into account the user's payment habits, and on the other hand, Xiaomi is currently working hard to increase the price of mobile phones, enhance its brand image, and attempt to break into the high-end brand. It is just right to use the concept of the world's first AI mobile phone to raise the price.
Even so, Lei Jun still didn't dare to sell it too expensively. He only dared to sell the cheapest model for 300 yuan more. Of the 300 yuan, Da Mi could only take 150 yuan, which was just enough to cover the cost.
Fang Yu's eyes sparkled, his voice slightly magnetic. "Boss Lei, Boss Zhou, let me get straight to the point. I came to Xinhao mainly to seek your support, so I took time out of my busy schedule to meet you today."
Lei Jun was a little surprised. Support? What support? He looked at his younger brother Zhou Shuzi, who also looked bewildered.
"Xiao Fang, you're so polite. We're truly friendly competitors, so it's only natural for us to support each other." Lei Jun spoke slowly, with a slight accent, but he still smiled. "What exactly is going on?"
"I don't like to do anything behind people's backs, and we are partners, so I don't want this to cause any misunderstandings."
"Therefore, I have invited you and Mr. Zhou to come out together this time so that I can discuss this with you both in person."
Fang Yu pondered for a moment, looked at Lei Jun and Zhou Shuzi, and finally, stopped his gaze on Lei Jun.
"I hope Mr. Zhou can join Youzi Technology. No, I should say, he can join Why Online Network Technology Company, a subsidiary of Youzi Technology, as CEO, and be fully responsible for the management, development, and operation of the Y search engine."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you here to poach people?
Poaching people in front of me?
What's going on?
Are these two people in collusion?
Lei Jun subconsciously glanced at Zhou Shuzi and found that he also had a shocked and confused expression on his face.
