"Bring me something delicious."
"Well, go to sleep."
Wei Yang kissed the dazed Liu Shishi, then got up and left the bedroom, put on his shoes at the entrance and left.
The first thing to do after returning to China is to visit his parents, and the second thing is to pay the public grain tax. Fortunately, Xiao Zhao is not in Shanghai at this time, otherwise he would be in some trouble, but he will have to pay it sooner or later.
After comforting these two, the others will probably look for her too. At least Tang Yan and Da Mimi can't escape. The latter has been taking cool selfies and short videos since she knew he was going back to China. If she didn't know her limits, she would have come to kill him long ago.
There is no other way. The longer we are apart, the more time we have to live. I have done the evil I have done, and I have to do it even if I cry...
Going downstairs to the garage, there were several cars parked, including Wei Yang's own Maybach, Liu Shishi's Maserati and Audi, and Wei Yang's broken Jetta was also parked here.
Boss Wei looked at the car with some memories and emotion in his eyes, wondering whether he should recall the good old days.
Unfortunately, he didn't take the keys and was too lazy to go upstairs, so Wei Yang finally chose the Maybach car.
The bad thing about being a celebrity is that everyone knows you. Otherwise, he would just buy an ordinary car and go out to see if he can play the pig and eat the tiger.
After driving to the company, Wei Yang, who had not eaten breakfast, stopped by the fast food restaurant downstairs to buy food.
The building where the Blue Whale is located is a well-known commercial district in the XH area. There are countless white-collar workers working here, and the supporting facilities are also complete. There are many fast food restaurants and restaurants in the building alone, providing breakfast, lunch and dinner.
As the boss, Wei Yang didn't punch a clock in, so he could come and go as he pleased. Although he came not long after getting up, it was almost ten o'clock.
However, there are still quite a few people in the fast food restaurant. There are always some employees who do not have time to eat in the morning, so they rush upstairs to punch in, and then find an opportunity to slip down or ask their colleagues to buy things. There are also some people who are out on business or have meetings with clients, and they also like to come to the fast food restaurants or coffee shops here to talk.
Wei Yang even guessed that there were Blue Whale employees inside. Anyway, he saw two people glance at him and their faces changed drastically, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
Wei Yang didn't bother to care about such things. What he cared more about were the yellow figures coming in and out of the fast food restaurant and several nearby catering stores.
“Meituan Takeaway is now online!”
Wei Yang knew that Meituan's food delivery team had actually been established a long time ago, but it had never been particularly formal and was more focused on group buying rather than specializing in food delivery.
It was not until the second half of this year that Meituan actually launched [Meituan Takeout] and fully entered the takeout market.
Meituan Takeout has not been online for long, but it has already started trial operations in commercial and residential centers in some first-tier cities since the summer. Wei Yang has seen it in the company, but it was still not professional and their clothing was not uniform.
As a result, after being abroad for a few months, I now see that Meituan has developed quite well and has taken over the Xuhui commercial district in such a short period of time.
"With Meituan being so powerful, Ele.me will probably have to follow suit and burn money."
Boss Wei seemed to be thinking about something. Meituan’s headquarters is in Beijing, while Ele.me is a local company in Shanghai.
This company was founded in 2008. Initially, it only contracted a restaurant's food delivery business. Later, it took root in the university town of Shanghai, and then entered the field of online food ordering and developed websites.
At present, Ele.me's business scope has covered Shanghai and has begun to expand to Hangzhou, Beijing and other regions.
Before Meituan entered Shanghai, Ele.me was the leader in the food delivery industry in Shanghai, but it was difficult for a local snake to defeat a dragon from another province.
What's more, Meituan is not new to the food delivery industry. They already have a foundation in group buying. Their information resources, platform awareness, team, and funds far exceed those of a small company like Ele.me. It is normal for them to be counterattacked in their Shanghai headquarters.
But Boss Wei knew that Ele.me did not sit idly by and wait for death, but instead gritted its teeth and fought to the death with Meituan.
After the capital market sees the prospects of the food delivery market, a large amount of funds will be invested, and Ele.me will have the confidence to compete with Meituan in spending money, and eventually become one of the two major food delivery giants.
Right now, Meituan has become a dominant force, and Boss Wei can only get a tiny share.
Ele.me is still in its growth stage and has more investment value than Meituan, with a much higher rate of return. Wei Yang plans to let his investment company contact it to see if he can make a fortune.
Thinking of this, Boss Wei bought a breakfast and ate it directly in the restaurant. Then he downloaded Ele.me and Meituan on his mobile phone, wanting to try out the pros and cons of the two platforms.
After finishing the meal, we came to the floor where the Blue Whale Company was located. What caught our eyes was a luxurious white wall with the Blue Whale logo on it - a blue whale swimming leisurely in the sea.
The two pretty receptionists' eyes lit up when they saw Wei Yang. They bowed gracefully with sweet voices.
“Hello, Boss!”
"Well, let me ask, where does our company's takeout usually deliver to?"
A fair-skinned receptionist quickly replied, "The company doesn't let outsiders in easily. They usually send the items to us, and then we call the person concerned to come and pick them up."
Wei Yang understood very well what the receptionist meant by "generally". The presence of this word meant that there were special circumstances, and there were quite a few such cases.
It's not like he hasn't worked before. The system is the system, the execution is the execution, the front desk turns a blind eye, and the delivery man goes directly to the person, so no one has to worry.
"Then I'll wait here for a while."
Wei Yang estimated the time. The takeaway was ordered from nearby and the time was very close, so it would probably be delivered soon. He glanced at the reception area next to the front desk and walked over to sit down.
The two receptionists were overjoyed. They offered us water to quench our thirst and handed us paper to wipe the chairs. They were very attentive.
As a result, the delivery guy didn't come. When a deputy director of the advertising department walked in carelessly, he saw the boss sitting there and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Boss, I...I just met a client."
"I know. I'm not going to eat you. Just do your thing."
Boss Wei waved his hand without further inquiry, and then hurried into the company. Then he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took out his mobile phone, found a small WeChat group and frantically @ed all members.
[Everyone be careful, the big boss is catching latecomers and early leavers at the door today, I almost flipped over just now]
TV Department XX: [Damn, the big boss is back?!]
Film Department XX: [Didn’t you say you just came back yesterday? Why are you here today? No wonder our boss is making so much money.]
Artist Management Department XX: [Who committed a crime? Why is the big boss catching people for being late?]
XX from the Marketing Department: [It’s over, it’s over. I just went downstairs to buy something. Didn’t I run into trouble? ]
XXX from the Marketing Department: [Why not wait a while and come back after the big boss leaves?]
TV Department XX: [What if the leader calls out someone by name?]
XX from the Human Resources Department: [It’s hopeless. I’ll make your resignation report look good when the time comes.]
XXX from the Finance Department: [It’s over, remember your bank card number, as it will be used to verify your salary]
Administration Department XX: [Silence]
Logistics Department XX: [Silence +1]
【……】
Wei Yang had no idea what was going on among the company's employees. He took a large amount of coffee drinks from two deliverymen.
Then he took out 1,000 yuan and handed it to the two delivery guys as their lost wages. He then asked them about their specific sites, company structure, number of orders per day and other information, in order to judge the current situation of both parties from the grassroots level.
After sending the two delivery guys away, Wei Yang also learned some useful information. At least in the Xuhui area, Ele.me was being severely suppressed by Meituan.
But it’s a good thing this way. The greater the pressure, the more Ele.me will have to seek external help. If it invests, it will be easy for it to get the maximum benefit at the lowest price.
Of course, this is just the information of two low-level delivery guys. We only have a brief understanding of them. We still need a lot of data and background checks to find out the details.
"Well, you two have worked hard. Share it with everyone."
After finding out what he wanted to know, Wei Yang couldn't finish the coffee he bought by himself, so he asked the two receptionists to help him deal with it.
"Boss, what do you want to do by asking the delivery guy those questions?"
The two receptionists didn't mind it. One of them was so bold that he even asked Wei Yang about his purpose. Boss Wei got himself a cup of American coffee and smiled.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"Nothing, writing a script involves this aspect, just getting some material."
After answering a few words, Wei Yang walked towards the office. On the way, he stopped by several office areas. Everywhere he looked, there were conscientious Blue Whale screws working hard for Boss Wei.
Boss Wei was somewhat relieved and sighed. If all employees worked like this every day, catching up with Ma Chaowang would be a piece of cake. They could even beat Bill Gates…
Boss Wei was very busy when he returned to the company. After being away for a few months, even though he was a hands-off boss and could work online most of the time, he still had a lot of work piled up.
Less than ten minutes after he entered the company, the heads of various departments and several other companies began lining up to report on their work.
Wei Yang was thinking that there was a meeting in the afternoon, but there was no time at all, so he could only postpone it.
Wei Yang was busy until after seven in the evening. Liu Shishi called him twice before he finally stopped working. He was too dizzy and too lazy to drive himself, so he called a trusted bodyguard and prepared to go to Liu Shishi's house.
As a result, he met a director who was waiting here on the way, and he stuffed the script into Wei Yang's arms with a broken heart.
"Boss Wei, Boss Wei, I have been waiting for you for more than a month. Please take a look at my script. It will definitely bring you rich profits. Boss Wei, Boss Wei, please trust me once..."
Looking at the director who was stopped by the bodyguards and still struggling and shouting, Wei Yang sighed and took the script.
"Is there a phone in there?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"I'll take a look and have someone tell you the result later, but next time you stop a car like this, don't blame me for calling the police."
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Wei, I was too anxious, but I promise, this is a really good script."
Wei Yang didn't talk much. He took the script and left in a car. Since he became a big shot in the industry, he has participated in the investment of many film and television productions, and his reputation in the circle has been increasing.
There is no need to say much about the benefits, but another trouble is that there are always people trying to find ways to submit projects and scripts to him.
Everyone wants to cling to Boss Wei’s thighs, soar to the sky and become the next Xu Zheng.
However, most of the script writers are people in the circle, and there are few unknown people. They have their own channels, or friends, classmates, or relatives who can talk to Boss Wei, and the chance of Wei Yang seeing it in person is higher than others.
Of course, if you don’t have any connections, then just submit your article. Blue Whale or Emerald Shrimp have special departments to accept articles or review projects.
Good books or projects will also be sent to Boss Wei, but they have to go through layers of screening, which is much more difficult.
It is quite rare to see someone coming over to hand over a script like today, and even rarer to see someone stopping cars or people. Wei Yang has only seen two of them so far.
It’s not that there are few top-notch people, but most of Wei Yang’s schedule is kept secret, and few people know where he stays or goes in the company.
Today, because of the loud noise in the morning and the fact that all the major responsible persons took turns to report, there had been no movement, which led to the itinerary being leaked and they were caught red-handed.
How can I put it? If the project is successful in the future, it may become a good story, but from a practical point of view, it is a very offensive behavior.
Wei Yang strongly discouraged and even hated this kind of operation. If it was not a particularly good project, he would not nod his head. Otherwise, if the news got out, other people would have to form a group to block him.
Although he was disgusted, Wei Yang still kept his promise and read the script on the way, frowning slightly.
The bodyguard who was driving the car was not usually a talkative person, but when he encountered this matter today, he was really curious and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Boss, how about this script?"
"generally."
Wei Yang wanted to put it down after reading one-third of it, but he suppressed his distracting thoughts and finished reading the rest.
"The plot is old-fashioned, the lines are awkward, and the ending is a bit bloody. The only bright spot is that the emotional line is polished more carefully, but combined with the plot, it is too flat and there is nothing to watch."
If this script cuts out the non-romantic plot, and is refined a little more, and finally finds two suitable and tacit leading actors, and a director who is good at filming romantic scenes, and it happens to be released during the Valentine's Day and Chinese Valentine's Day schedule, maybe it can sell tens of millions at the box office.
But Wei Yang was too lazy to worry about and put in the effort for a project of this level, and he wouldn't be able to make much money, so it was not worth it.
Wei Yang took a photo of the contact information and sent it to his secretary Hu Ya. He planned to have someone reject the other party tomorrow to avoid delaying them from looking for other people to cooperate with.
Finally they got home. Liu Shishi, who was almost tired of waiting, immediately prepared hot dishes. Wei Yang knew what was going on as soon as he saw the menu.
"From my aunt's shop?"
"Well, my aunt knows you're here with me. She was afraid you might get greedy after going abroad, so she specially asked someone to make this. It's the authentic Zaoshi flavor."
"My aunt still understands me."
Wei Yang tasted the spicy chicken and listened to Liu Shishi talking about her aunt.
He knew that Xiao Zhao had a very good relationship with her mother, and he didn't pay much attention to Liu Shishi and her aunt. But now he heard that the two sides communicated a lot and had business dealings, and they were about to cooperate to open a branch.
"She doesn't want the money when I pay her, so why does she want it when you pay her?"
Boss Wei was a little puzzled, while Liu Shishi was a little proud: "I am well-liked. If you dare to bully me in the future, I will ask my aunt to take charge for me."
“…”
Wei Yang had a headache. Each of them had powerful backers behind them and were about to rebel.
What made him a little nervous was that his arrangement seemed to be a little beyond his control. Their relationship was a little too close. However, Boss Wei was not too worried. After all, the meat was rotten in the pot. His mother and aunt would definitely support him and would definitely not push their daughter-in-law out. It was not a big deal. At most, he would get a few more beatings...
