"Which one?" Xu An turned his gaze from the garden to Engineer Li and answered very honestly, "If your studio doesn't accept this condition, then I will choose to find a studio with a good reputation and work together from scratch."
"This answer is both logical and unexpected," Engineer Li nodded as if suddenly realizing something, then answered Xu An's question: "The reason we took on this project is because the offshore hot springs offer a lot of room for development, a lot of potential."
As he spoke, Engineer Li looked away, met Xu An's eyes directly, and smiled, "We wanted to use this project to compete for awards. Before this meeting, I was worried about whether our design could be implemented, but after seeing Engineer Xu and his construction team, I feel relieved."
At the bidding meeting, Xu An's terms included room for negotiation. If the studio insisted, he would relinquish the material procurement rights, while he would provide the construction team and supervisor. As long as they didn't go too far, he would turn a blind eye.
But to my utter surprise, the other party agreed as soon as I made the request.
It's good to have something to gain; it's good to have something to gain. What's truly worrisome is having nothing to gain at all.
——————
The live shopping section officially went offline on October 31st. Xu's Catering live stream has been merged into the food section, and Asakusa Collection live stream has been merged into the beauty section. Relevant personnel are requested to complete the handover process.
Why----
Gu Yutao sighed deeply, his gaze falling on the document outside the chat window. The document contained data he had just compiled—a line graph. The two lines representing traffic and profit were rising almost vertically.
Despite the improvement in the live streaming segment, its recent increasingly better performance, and its rising profits, company leadership ultimately decided to eliminate this segment where the input of resources was not commensurate with the output.
Clearly, if we just persevered for another month, everything would be fine! Just one more month, and even if the output of this segment couldn't compare to top-tier streamers, it would still be equivalent to several second- or third-tier streamers.
Moreover, this section has much greater potential for development than those live streamers.
I am somewhat unwilling, but I have tried my best, and I have no regrets about the outcome.
After typing "Received" in the chat box and pressing the send button, Gu Yutao closed the chat box, picked up his phone, walked outside the company building, and made a phone call.
"Hello Mr. Sun, I'm Gu Yutao, the head of the live shopping section. I don't know if you remember me... Yes, that's right. Has your company's live shopping section been set up yet? Are you short-staffed?" "Okay, thank you very much for the opportunity, Mr. Sun. I will try my best to join as soon as possible. Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yutao turned around and took two steps toward the office building entrance, then stopped, hesitated for a moment, and took out his phone again to make another call.
"Hello Mr. Xu, this is Gu Yutao, the person in charge of the shopping live streaming section. I regret to inform you that this section will be dissolved and reorganized on October 31st, and your company's live streaming room will be assigned to the food section."
Before making the call, Gu Yutao originally wanted to tell Xu An about his plan to switch jobs and ask him if he would be willing to join Taobao, a larger platform, once the Taobao live streaming section was established.
But just as he was about to speak, Gu Yutao hesitated.
Taobao platform does indeed plan to build a live streaming section, but regardless of the company, many new business ideas are proposed every year, but only a few are approved. Even among those approved, even fewer are actually completed and launched. It's difficult to determine whether a project will fail or launch successfully until the very last moment.
Forget it, let's wait and see. We'll ask after things settle down.
"Ah, Mr. Xu, yes, yes, I'm here. Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Um, the reason I called you, Mr. Xu, besides telling you about the restructuring of the section, is that a new colleague will be taking over the affairs of Xu's live streaming room, and I will no longer be in charge of it."
"It's not a transfer; I'm just planning to take a good rest for a while. Yes, haha, thank you for your blessings, Mr. Xu. I wish Xu's Catering a prosperous business and even greater success."
After ending the call, Gu Yutao went straight to the leader's office door, knocked on the door, and after receiving a definite answer, he grasped the doorknob with his right hand, gently turned it, and entered the office. Before the leader could ask what his purpose was, Gu Yutao spoke directly.
"Boss, after completing the handover of the live streaming section, I'd like to take a break for a while. Ah, I don't mean a vacation, I mean resign."
