He Youfu hung up the phone, feeling uneasy. Why did he suddenly have to add more? After asking his confidant about what happened that day, he felt even more remorseful. He shouldn't have gone on the business trip that day.
To maintain balance among the company's senior management, he deliberately fostered discord among several department heads, fearing they might all leave one day. After all, he had initially poached key personnel from a small shopping platform, which was how he later expanded the company.
This resulted in serious internal strife within the Miaomiao platform, but as long as it didn't damage the foundation, He Youfu was happy to see it happen.
But to everyone's surprise, their sabotage of each other ended up targeting Lin Xiaoxiao. They even thought that if one department didn't cooperate, the other department could step in and play a game of cat and mouse. But things went wrong, and Lin Xiaoxiao simply left with her team.
Ultimately, this resulted in him, the boss, having to spend an extra 500 million, which greatly annoyed him. As for the internal issues, he didn't think there was anything wrong with them at all. It was just a pity that he hadn't stayed behind that day to make an example of them. 500 million! If they didn't pay, they would just drag it out and make sure no more money was spent later.
President Lin is really patient; it's been so long and he hasn't made a single move. The team has even been given a holiday.
He Youfu sighed as he announced the allocation of funds.
Lin Xiaoxiao originally thought she would start working soon, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse and she had to rest for another week. When the funding arrived, she was about to start working and she even had some complaints about He Youfu.
"President Lin, how do we film the business battle scenes?"
Obviously, everyone else knew that Lin Xiaoxiao would definitely not go back to the Miaomiao platform to film. Director Lin's temper is much better than before; the Miaomiao platform really went too far!
"Mr. Lin, why don't we just create our own shopping platform to film the business battle scenes?"
"Approximately how much will it cost?"
"It shouldn't be much. We only used it on a small scale, and we won't need it again after filming our scenes."
Lin Xiaoxiao thought about it. Considering the difficult situation the Miaomiao platform employees caused them that day and the chaotic internal situation of the Miaomiao platform, she felt that running a shopping platform shouldn't be too difficult.
So they asked Secretary Zhao to prepare a quote. If the price was right, they simply hired some people to do it. After filming, the product could be used as a shopping platform for Feiyang Entertainment and other Feiyang company employees.
As expected, Zhang Erdai and the others were extremely excited when Lin Xiaoxiao said this.
"I think it would be great if shopping platforms offered cashback."
"I also think it would be great if we could do group buying, so the price could be lower."
"Since we're already using it ourselves, could you add a function to sell it as a second-hand item? I'm moving to a new house and I don't want some of the furniture anymore, so I'd like to get new pieces."
"I wish there were large coupons. Every time I see other people getting coupons and buying things at a better price, I feel like I'm losing out. I can't even find where to get them."
"I think the prices in the live stream shouldn't be set at the lowest possible level. Just showing the finished product to people so they can't place an order is fine. Every time I watch a live stream, I buy a lot of things, and then when they arrive, I realize I don't need any of them. It's too easy to make impulsive purchases."
"Ideally, it should be the lowest price across the entire internet. I'm fed up with comparing discounts everywhere!"
"And if you're going to use coupons, just use legitimate coupons. Don't make them have so many terms and conditions. Which ones can be used but which ones can't? Ideally, they should be universal across all platforms."
"Agreed, agreed! We don't need many different kinds of coupons, just get straight to the point! Don't make them one after another, and don't make it so that member prices are higher! I was so angry last time, I was a member and I still paid more than Sister Zhao!"
"It would be best if the quality could be guaranteed, and it would be even better if the platform could conduct random checks before listing!"
"With so many of us, it would be more cost-effective to buy in bulk and get a discount! The jacket He Yue shared with me last time, she hadn't even received it yet, and the price had already gone up when I clicked on it, which was infuriating!"
"It would be even better if we could open physical supermarkets. Buying things online for urgent needs always feels like waiting."
"It would be great if we could still do group buying. Or maybe we could find some shops on Penglai Island to set up shop here, like restaurants or accommodations."
"It feels like they could sell skins and tickets too."
"It would be great if we could still buy tickets, train tickets, ferry tickets, etc. Every time I want to play on the island during holidays, I have to download a separate app to buy these tickets."
"It seems like there are too many of these in one mini-program. Why don't you and General Manager Lin talk to Secretary Zhao and make an app instead?"
Secretary Zhao glanced at the growing number of people in the conference room and finally nodded.
God knows, after Boss Lin left, there were only four screenwriters left, but then Zhang, the head of the TV series team, came over with his assistant. As soon as they heard that they were going to create a shopping platform, they started chattering away.
Then, Sister Zhao, the head of the variety show department, came in with her assistant. Upon hearing that they were going to create an internal shopping platform, she started chattering away.
Then more and more people came, and the senior animation staff also came. They said to add some age-friendly modes, preferably with larger text and clear explanations, so as not to fool people who buy them and then don't know how to return them.
Then, people from Feiyang Games, from who-knows-where, also arrived, chattering away, saying that the latest skin settings could be sold on shopping platforms.
Secretary Zhao felt that if any more time passed, the entire company would be arriving. He hurriedly nodded and ran off, quickly instructing HR to recruit more people. These people had initially been discussing shopping platforms, but what had they become in the end?! The more he listened, the greater the workload seemed. He was truly worried about the new employees.
"Shopping vouchers?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was truly stunned. This new script adjustment was no small matter! This was Zhang Erdai, her good partner who never worked overtime! How could he be getting involved in such intense competition?!
"That's right. In normal transactions, there are middlemen who make money between buyers and sellers. We convert a portion of our commission into cash vouchers, which can only be used on our shopping platform."
Lin Xiaoxiao held the script, her mind a little foggy. Even the eloquent Zhang Erdai across from her seemed somewhat unfamiliar. Weren't they filming a drama?! Why did it feel like the focus had shifted a tiny bit off course?!
Fortunately, Zhang Erdai's last words reassured Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Of course, this is all to show that the male and female protagonists are different from other capitalists in terms of their good character."
What a kind and virtuous person! Lin Xiaoxiao was relieved. She knew absolutely nothing about shopping platforms; she was just a consumer at best. She was terrified, thinking these people were going to create a whole shopping platform.
She already has enough responsibilities and enough money to spend. All she wants now is more time to rest, but if she adds another bunch of employees and new ventures, her heart just can't take it.
Think back to how few people were in the gaming department back then, and now how many are there? Li Chuan's restaurants have even opened overseas, and he's always so busy he's practically invisible. I can't believe she'll one day be working herself to the bone like Li Yishan.
She felt that things were fine as they were, filming dramas and variety shows, earning some money, and protecting the Penglai Island business. Of course, it would be even better if she could have more time to rest.
After all, it's not like someone would be eager to find her something to do.
