"Brother Zhihao, I'm curious, what was that part you were trying to say that you were about to leave unsaid?"
Lin Wei just stared at the other person, waiting to see what they would say.
But Zhuang Zhihao was sensible and immediately praised, "You have a good idea and a good mind."
"That's right, just say it directly, don't skip it. Praising someone isn't something to be ashamed of."
Nowadays, TV dramas don't have commercial breaks in the middle; they air two episodes a day, and the entire drama is finished in two weeks.
As the plot unfolded, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in the finale.
As a result, the brand's influence has spread far and wide, and the celebrities who endorse the brand have also achieved greater success.
In 1998, when TV dramas were not yet widespread, Zhuang Zhihao, though unwilling, could still sense the potential of the industry.
"Actually, I could also set up a film and television company to produce dramas. The TV drama industry in Hong Kong is already mature, with two major TV stations competing on equal footing. Even if others wanted to get involved, they wouldn't be able to get any profit. But there's a gap in the mainland market. If I were to set up shop there, wouldn't I be seizing the opportunity?"
Zhuang Zhihao sincerely invited Lin Wei to work with him.
Lin Wei wanted to, but—
“Brother Zhihao, if you need some advice, I know people’s tastes quite well now, so I can give you some suggestions. But I haven’t finished my own work yet, so I don’t think I can spare the time to do anything else.”
One is a buffet restaurant, another is a burger joint venture with Shen Jize, and the third is a construction company.
Currently, they can manage with minimal effort, but if another part is separated, things might change.
Moreover, if you don't do your main job well, it's useless no matter how well you do your side job.
She understood that one should know what one is good at and specialize in one thing, as trying to do too much at once is never good.
Since Lin Wei said so, Zhuang Zhihao naturally wouldn't force her, and soon his film and television company was established in Jiangcheng.
From then on, his trips to and from Jiangcheng became even more frequent.

Knowing that times are changing and all industries are developing rapidly, Lin Wei didn't stay idle while she was working on the amusement park project.
“We used to run the buffet restaurant and the burger shop together, but now I plan to separate these two projects into separate businesses.”
Wang Ying asked in confusion, "Weren't they always separate entities? I registered separate companies for them when I first started."
“I know, but we assign this work to whoever has time. Now I want to separate it, set up a separate office, and have a separate group of people to handle this business.”
Zhang Yanyan put down her pen. "What's wrong? Are you thinking of developing this?"
"Well, so far, the burger shop and the buffet have only been opened in Jiangcheng, but our reputation has already spread far and wide. There are some shops in other places that imitate us, but they are not quite right. Why don't we open up franchise rights? They only need to pay a fee, and they can open a shop with the same name as us. At the same time, we will also be responsible for transporting the ingredients. In this way, these two shops can be opened all over the country."
“But we don’t have that many ingredients.” Wang Ying didn’t understand what Lin Wei meant.
But Zhang Yanyan quickly understood, "Opening a factory is just like providing ingredients to Jiangcheng. We can open similar factories in various cities, hire people to manage them, or directly source the goods and make a profit from the price difference. But the food industry must guarantee quality. In short, when it comes to making money, we are definitely the one. However, we should just charge an agency fee for the agency rights. If there are factories in the local area, how can we make money from them? Instead of finding an agent, we should open our own stores."
Lin Wei had naturally considered this issue. "But who will manage the store once it's opened? It's far from the central government's reach, so people can do whatever they want. We simply can't manage it all. Why not give out the franchise rights? We can make money by providing ingredients, and they'll be more attentive to managing their own stores. What do you think?"
“That’s possible, but we need to standardize the process. Earning only agency fees is fine, but there need to be a lot of people who want to become agents.” Zhang Yanyan asked, “How much do you plan to charge for these agency fees?”
"A buffet restaurant costs 50,000 yuan, and a burger shop costs 60,000 yuan."
Upon hearing the number, the two gasped in shock.
"No, isn't your price a bit too high?"
"It's not high. If it's too low, it won't be worth it. After all, our brand has already established its reputation. This is just the price for the first batch. We will adjust it year by year according to the economic situation."
In short, I will never let myself lose money.
"Even if no one takes the agency rights, we can't lose money. By the way, Jiangcheng is the head office, so we can't open an agency store in Jiangcheng. Only people from other places can do it."
Lin Wei was a one-woman show; once she made a decision, no one would object, and the matter was settled.
“Our receptionist is quiet and seems quite nice. I was thinking of making her a manager at the new company so she could try managing the company.”
"Oh, you got promoted?" Wang Ying asked again. "What's the address of the new company? Since they're separate, shouldn't it be set up as a separate entity?"
"Yes, it's upstairs. I asked Shen Jize for a small office. The office is already renovated. We can put up the new company logo, add some office equipment, and start operating immediately."
"Does that mean we need to start recruiting? There are a lot of things to prepare, but I'm afraid Anjing won't be able to."
"So, Yingying, I'm leaving her in charge. Okay, go ahead and tell her about the promotion. Before the end of this month, hire a receptionist and hand over your current work. Next month, she can go upstairs to report for duty."
Lin Wei gave the instructions naturally, leaving Wang Ying speechless.
"I'm speechless. Why don't you go yourself? This doesn't seem to be within my job scope."
“I’m the boss. If I did everything myself, what would I be the boss for? On the contrary, you are good at everything. Actually, after you brought Anjing out, you didn’t have much work. You probably won’t be busy in the future, because Anjing’s position is most likely to be administrative manager. She will probably be in charge of some administrative matters in the future.”
"If you don't want any further trouble, just bring them out all at once, then you won't have anything to do with them anymore, right?"
"Of course I know, right...?"
Wang Ying felt something was wrong no matter how she thought about it, but she couldn't argue with Lin Wei at all. After being fooled a few more times, she was also persuaded to leave the office.
Passing by the front desk, Wang Ying called the person directly into her office.
"Anjing, you've been with our company for several years now. I won't talk to you about those superficial things. Do you have any ideas about your career?"
An Jing was taken aback. "Oh, Manager Wang, are you going to fire me? But I don't think I did anything wrong."
