Lin Xiaoxiao never expected that during this hectic period, Ke Jianjun, the old master fitter from "Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household" who handcrafted bicycles, had actually handcrafted a television set!
She did approve some purchase orders during this period, but she never expected that what they assembled would turn into a television set!
"Who is the Ten-Thousand-Yuan Household?" is trending again, with the hashtag #FirstTelevisionSetBorn!#
No, how could it be the first television set?
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused. She clicked on the trending topic and found that the official account had reposted the screenshot, along with historical footage of the development of China's first television set. The live broadcast of seeing the television set being shaped by hand was already quite popular, but the addition of historical footage made it even more popular.
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, but she hadn't expected anyone to be able to make a television set. She hadn't even scheduled any TV programs! Now, wouldn't this give her away?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the small color television received the signal from Penglai Satellite TV via its antenna. When the television began playing "Those Things on the Island," a cheer that echoed throughout the roof resounded.
"It's a success!!"
"We did it!! Waaah~"
Some cheered, some wiped away tears; their steel mill had finally stood out among the other factories.
During this period, due to the booming popularity of the foreign guests' hotel, large trucks were coming and going from the food factory every day. The soap factory and sewing machine factory next door were also shipping out their products one after another. Even the canvas shoes from the shoe factory were entering state-owned stores. However, their Feiyang brand bicycles still had no orders.
Some people did buy them, but only two have been sold in a month; they're not very popular. If the contestants knew, they'd really want to cry foul; they'd like to buy them, but they simply don't have the money.
The television set produced in the industrial park made the park's newspapers sell like hotcakes. The front page of the newspapers featured stories of how the entire steel plant persevered, overcame numerous difficulties, and ultimately created this television set.
The county government placed an order directly to have one placed in the county canteen, so that the news can be shown to everyone during lunchtime. The town and commune also ordered one.
Just as Mr. Ke Jianjun was preparing to make a more practical radio, Lin Xiaoxiao received the official title of National Outstanding Young Entrepreneur.
Lin Xiaoxiao attended the awards ceremony and smiled happily because she could take a vacation to receive the award. It was a field trip with important business, so she didn't have to stare at the monitor every day.
To be fair, she is a boss and can skip work at will, but when she encountered a boss who sneaked out of work, she couldn't help but grumble while working.
It was Lin Xiaoxiao's first time being a boss, and she was mainly feeling guilty, as if she hadn't done anything. Since she'd just be sitting there anyway, she figured she might as well just go to work. What she didn't know was that within Feiyang Entertainment, Lin Xiaoxiao was known as a workaholic, and people even looked up to her as their boss.
While other companies have employees working overtime and complaining, at Feiyang Entertainment, even the boss comes to show up! This isn't enough; I'm going to work way more for the company! This company is our home! Development depends on everyone!!
Jiang Yun, on the M platform, was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao smiling so brightly.
Not to mention that Lin Xiaoxiao even called him before accepting the award, asking, "How good is your M platform's 'Job Fair'?"
The job fair was such a disaster, making Lin Xiaoxiao's heavily invested "Who's the Millionaire?" competition seem rather foolish. It's like going to war, thinking your opponent is formidable, and you use a rocket launcher, only to find they pull out a small twig.
Isn't that just making things difficult for people?!
Lin Xiaoxiao was furious at Jiang Yun's perfunctory attitude. She had almost exceeded her quota, and Jiang Yun was still making excuses. Was he kidding her?!
Where is the big capital behind you?! Send in the funds!!! Do you think you're doing justice to the money she squeezed from her siblings' investments?!
M platform's "Job Fair" and Feiyang Entertainment's "Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household" were competing against each other, but the latter won an award before it was even officially produced.
Aside from the paid trending topics that never seem to get popular, their "Job Fair" is practically nonexistent.
Lately, the topic "Who is the Ten-Thousand-Yuan Household?" has been trending on social media every few days. Jiang Yun feels like she's about to explode with anger; she's been taking a lot of her blood pressure medication lately.
What's even more outrageous is that Lin Xiaoxiao called him and told him not to be so stingy, and to offer some permanent, inheritable jobs with higher salaries, saying that you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.
Is he stingy?! It's clearly the opponent who's too cunning. Can you even speak like a human being? Do you think you can just give away a job that's permanently inheritable?! Jiang Yun isn't the boss, and besides, his job isn't even permanently inheritable. Where can you even begin to reason with him?!
In the end, Jiang Yun could only swallow her anger and realize that she had really misjudged Lin Xiaoxiao, thinking that she was easy to manipulate. She really wished she could go back in time and punch herself a couple of times to wake herself up.
Feiyang Entertainment also launched its first round of advertising. Seeing that some factories that were on the verge of bankruptcy were revived by the huge success of "Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household," with sales booming both online and offline, and even trending on social media every now and then along with the show, other advertisers started to waver.
Several of M platform's sponsorships are about to expire, and even with Jiang Yun's personal intervention, one or two have yet to give a definite answer.
Jiang Yun didn't want to believe that his previous success was because of Lin Xiaoxiao, so in order to make the show popular, he decided to find the director in the industry who was best at creating buzz, even though the director had a bad reputation.
His rival, Lin Xiaoxiao, was busy getting to know other entrepreneurs with the head of the TV station. Of course, the TV station head introduced her with words like "responsible entrepreneur," "nationalistic," and "leading by example," one after another, making her so ashamed that she almost wanted to dig a hole and bury her head in it.
