Hou Wenjie carefully read the post and began to ponder it.
Based on his own and his predecessor's experiences, he believed that most of the content in this post was credible.
The Enigmatic Man, the Bureau of Mysterious Affairs!
Indeed, there are official organizations in this world that specialize in handling bizarre events.
Should I try to contact official organizations?
After only a brief moment of consideration, Hou Wenjie rejected the idea.
In this bizarre world, there are too many unknowns and dangers.
Under the influence of strange forces, people's greed and desires will also expand rapidly!
Therefore, what he needs to do now is to stay behind the scenes, build his own power, and get more people to help him understand the world and find out the shadow that shrouded the original owner's childhood.
First, he needs a lot of money.
Before the strange forces disrupted the existing world order, having money meant having people.
Making money is no longer a difficult task for him, who has experienced many worlds and has a photographic memory.
Start a company to make mobile phones? Shoot short films? Participate in talent shows?
These ways of making money are too slow.
Memories began to flash back.
That was the era when short videos were all the rage on Earth, and live-streaming e-commerce influencers surpassed Lao Gan Ma's assets of several decades in just three years.
The world today is much like Earth, and the e-commerce economy is quite prosperous.
There are many live streaming platforms, and short video platforms are beginning to emerge.
The trend of live-streaming e-commerce is beginning to emerge.
Without a doubt, this is a good time to enter the market.
Without hesitation, Hou Wenjie asked the foreman to sell the excavator, rented a storefront in town, and hired someone to start simple renovations.
Then he went to the Administration for Industry and Commerce to apply for a business license.
Less than half a month later, his company was established and named Banana Media Co., Ltd.
The company name emphasizes simplicity and memorability.
Hou Wenjie's town is called Xiashan Town, an ordinary agricultural town in the central plains.
In the small town, there is a slightly larger supermarket, and the other shops sell clothing, shoes, hardware and sundries.
Of course, express delivery franchise stations are indispensable.
In this small town, there is even a fast food franchise store, but its business can only be described as deserted.
When Hou Wenjie hung up the sign for "Banana Media Co., Ltd." on his store, passersby were stunned.
"Media companies have opened in town, how can they possibly break even? Isn't that just nonsense?"
"It's right across from Kentucky Fried Chicken. I heard it's run by Hou Laosi's son, the one who drives the excavator. I just don't understand what he was thinking."
"It's not easy to make money these days, so everyone's trying some weird tricks. Do you know Li Dewang from my village? He and his wife have been working outside for over ten years and have saved up about 300,000 yuan. He said it's getting harder and harder to make money outside, so he wants to develop his business back in his hometown."
As a result, the 300,000 yuan investment in crayfish farming was completely lost. Now the crayfish ponds are abandoned, and the farmer has gone to work elsewhere!
"Sigh, people these days are obsessed. They go through all that trouble, only to find they have no money in their pockets. Anyway, the weather's nice today, I'm going fishing later!"
…
The townspeople were not optimistic about Hou Wenjie's Banana Media.
Just like that KFC restaurant back then, many people condemned it to death before the sign was even put up.
After all, this is a small town where most people are elderly or children.
Young people only return to their hometowns one after another during the Chinese New Year, so there is simply no market for Kenda Chicken in such a small town.
In this small town, the only thing that can be associated with the media is probably a band that specializes in handling weddings and funerals.
Hou Wenjie had anticipated the townspeople's pessimism.
He was even more excited!
When everyone doubts you but you achieve great success, the doubts and disdain of the past will all be transformed into your reputation!
Hou Wenjie chose to stay in the small town because he wanted to develop his fellow villagers!
Going to so-called big cities is ultimately like being a rootless duckweed.
Since ancient times, only the bonds of kinship have been unbreakable!
As long as he can develop and expand Banana Media Company, his influence will radiate steadily outwards from the town as its base.
With the company's opening, the employees that Hou Wenjie had recruited have all gathered in the conference room.
Zhan Peng graduated from the School of Literature at a second-tier university. After graduation, he couldn't find a good job and worked as a food delivery driver in the county town. He and Hou Wenjie were from the same village.
Wang Hui worked as a receptionist at a five-star hotel in the county town after graduating from junior college.
Zhou Xing, former employee of an appliance store.
Hua Feng, a fully qualified welding apprentice.
Although many people are not optimistic about Hou Wenjie, no one will refuse him when he offers a high enough salary.
In his hometown, a small county where most people only earn two to three thousand yuan a month, Hou Wenjie offered them a salary of four thousand five thousand yuan, plus a share of the subsequent profits.
To ensure they could work with peace of mind, Hou Wenjie also advanced them two months' salary, guaranteeing that even if the company failed and closed down quickly, they would still receive three months' salary as they normally would.
Most importantly, their jobs are close to home.
Of course, in addition to the very favorable salary increases and profit sharing, the contracts they signed also stipulated an eight-year term and excessive penalties for breach of contract.
As for his fellow villagers, these future pillars, Hou Wenjie would openly restrain them, but would not secretly obstruct them.
Hou Wenjie paid their legal consultation fee upfront, allowing them to find a lawyer to interpret the contract terms themselves.
After the consultation, all four people signed the contract.
Of course, the company is also lacking dedicated accountants and cleaners.
Hou Wenjie has already asked his math teacher, Mr. Liu, for help with the finances.
The cleaning staff hired the lady from the hardware store next door as a part-time worker; she earns 500 yuan a month, which is quite a lot.
In the early stages of starting a business, the most important thing is to avoid extravagance and waste.
After all, I heard that JD.com's founder, Dongzi, used to go to recycling stations to collect cardboard boxes to make parcels in the early days!
Looking at the employees in front of him, Hou Wenjie smiled and said:
"The era of dragons and snakes rising together and outlaws emerging is over."
The rising bigwigs have already divided up their territories, thoroughly connecting upstream and downstream within their respective circles to form an internal cycle.
The ancients said that a great king would emerge every three hundred years.
What the ancients said is the truth!
Social classes will only become more and more rigid as barriers are formed!
And what can we, the children of farmers, do now if we don't have the brilliant minds to become top talents?
Even if you raise livestock at home, like raising ducks!
You'll find that the ducklings come from this company's hatchery, the feed comes from this company's feed mill, and even after the ducks are grown, the company's farm will still be the one to buy them!
If the market is bad, even if you raise several thousand ducks and work hard for several months, you might still lose tens of thousands of dollars.
In name, you are a self-employed individual, but in reality, you are working for this company, and in the end, you even lose tens of thousands of yuan to this company!
Time is running out for us!
The mobile internet industry may be the last chance we can seize to change our social class!
What we need to do is to establish ourselves in short videos, using high-quality or catchy short videos to acquire huge traffic and followers, and then use that traffic to drive sales!
The mechanism of short videos allows for an unlimited customer base for live-streaming e-commerce!
Our goal is to become the strongest distributor in the mobile internet era!
