Recently, the companies under the "Jiang Group" have been developing steadily.
The second and third phases of the "Jiang Li Ji" Kyoto branch plant have been completed, greatly increasing the brand's productivity.
Under Dafu's leadership, the food R&D department launched six best-selling products in one go, and "Jiang Li Ji's" turnover has been steadily increasing.
Shao Ping'an's "Jiang Daxia" currently has 26 stores nationwide. In his latest report, he expressed great confidence in fully launching the "Jiang Daxia" hot pot brand in the autumn and winter seasons this year and doubling its profits.
Even "Guizhi Baozi Shop," which couldn't bear to close down due to nostalgia, has blossomed in many parts of the country. Although the number of newly opened shops is not large, their business is booming.
Under the leadership of the general manager recruited by headhunters and Li Anting, "Jiang's Investment" successfully invested in several startups favored by Jiang Xiaoli.
Currently, "Jiang's Entertainment" within the entire group is constantly pouring money into it but with little return.
Jiang Xiaoli called Qiao Ru over, "How's Zhang Tu doing?"
Qiao Ru exclaimed excitedly, "President Jiang, you're amazing! Zhang Tu went through three rounds of auditions and was personally selected by Director Zhang yesterday to be the male lead in this movie!"
As you suggested, I only mentioned Jiang's Entertainment's investment intentions to Director Zhang after the contract with Zhang Tu was signed. Director Zhang was very welcoming; the total investment for this film was 60 million, and he gave us a 15% share.
Jiang Xiaoli turned the item in her hand and asked, "Can this ratio be increased?"
This film, which topped the box office in 1997, had a budget of only 15%, which is indeed too low.
Qiao Ru hesitated for a few seconds, "President Jiang, there are several investors for this film. I'll go talk to them again and try to get us a larger share. But could you give me a hint? What's the maximum amount we can contribute?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled, "Don't worry, we can negotiate. We can even operate as sole proprietors."
Qiao Ru understood immediately. She nodded in agreement, "Okay, I understand, President Jiang. Of the other three TV series you mentioned last time, two have received our investment and are in the process of preparing to start filming. The third one has already started filming and is expected to wrap up by the end of the year."
"Hmm." Jiang Xiaoli sat up straight. "How are their business dealings going?"
Qiao Ru answered truthfully, "President Jiang, apart from An Jing and Wu Tingting who have endorsements for 'Five,' Zhang Tu and Guan Boyan have only taken on temporary commercial performances."
She snapped her fingers. "Okay, don't let them take on any more events before 'The Outstanding' is released. Let's see how the movie is received first."
Qiao Ru was a little excited, "President Jiang, our 'Outstanding' is going to be a hit, right!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "You should have seen the sample footage of 'Outstanding'? As an industry professional, what do you think of it?"
"That's fantastic!" Qiao Ru couldn't help but slap the table. "Hehe, Mr. Jiang, please excuse me."
"It's alright, please continue."
Qiao Ru said, "The story of 'The Outstanding' is complete. Although the main actors are all newcomers, each character is vividly portrayed. I have high hopes for this movie."
Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Since we all think so highly of this movie, you need to carefully oversee the future business dealings of these guys, understand?"
Qiao Ru nodded emphatically, "President Jiang, don't worry."
After Qiao Ru left, Jiang Xiaoli glanced at the calendar: September 26th.
"With 'The Outstanding' set to be released in a few days, 'Jiang's Entertainment' will finally see a return on its investment."
Thinking about this made her feel quite good.
She stood up and looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows of her office. Suddenly, she felt that everything in front of her was beautiful, and even the building under construction seemed full of life.
"Knock knock knock!" A knocking sound came from outside the office door.
"Enter!"
The visitor was Qu Shitao.
Jiang Xiaoli checked the time; it was almost time for her lunch break.
She stood up. "I'll take you to eat, and we can chat while we eat."
In a small private room in the cafeteria, Qu Shitao hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Jiang Xiaoli, no, that President Jiang..."
She interrupted her with a smile, "You feel that working as an assistant wouldn't allow you to effectively apply the knowledge you've learned in our field, right?"
Qu Shitao blushed slightly when her thoughts were exposed. She said, "I know this is a position that many people would like to try, but I feel that since I studied business administration, I should find a job that matches my major and learn more."
Jiang Xiaoli looked at her and asked, "I've been an entrepreneur for three years and now I own such a big company. Let me tell you what's on my mind. You can listen and take it as a reference, okay?"
Qu Shitao nodded. She had great respect for people like Jiang Xiaoli who started from scratch.
Jiang Xiaoli nodded and continued, "A lot of the knowledge we learn in this major is from the perspective of corporate managers, but have you ever considered what kind of company would allow students who haven't even graduated from university to participate in the company's management and operation?"
As you probably know, many of our classmates started their internships by doing menial tasks at companies. How long it takes to actually get involved in the company's specific business depends entirely on individual talent and ability.
Arranging you as my special assistant is not a spur-of-the-moment decision. You should have already gotten a feel for the job by helping with the data processing this morning. This position requires you to be exposed to the actual business of various companies within the group, which will greatly help you understand the knowledge you have learned in the textbook.
Here you can see what problems the company has encountered and how the senior management has solved them. Isn't that much better than you serving tea and water?
To be honest, in the two weeks we've worked together, I've found you to be calm, meticulous, and organized, making you very suitable for the assistant position. I originally intended for An Ting to groom you to succeed her, but I think you could give it a try first. If you really don't like it after a while, I can adjust things for you. What do you think?
Jiang Xiaoli's words made Qu Shitao think a lot.
She was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you had considered so much for me... I think what you said makes sense, I will do my best in this internship, thank you."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "You're both my classmate and now my employee, so it's normal for me to consider your needs. Don't overthink it. Okay, now that we've laid everything out, come and try our cafeteria chef's cooking!"
Qu Shitao smiled and nodded, "Mm!"
