Around noon, I drove back to the Dream Tree, and Liu Liu had been waiting for me with the shareholders all morning. As soon as I got out of the car, they led me into the conference room that had already been prepared.

When everyone sat down, they all looked at me with the same expressions. Finally, Kang Kang, as a representative, asked me: "Jiangqiao, Xiao Ai chose to hold his own solo concert at Luopu Stadium, what do you think about this matter?" ”

I glanced at everyone without emotion, and then said, "Don't you know what my attitude is about this matter?" ”

Kang Kang replied: "I know, that's why I'm in a hurry to wait for you to come back, and then persuade you to change your previous thoughts...... Several of our shareholders have studied it very carefully, and we agreed that before Xiao Ai signed a formal contract with Luopu Stadium for the use of the venue, we must find a way to make her change her mind...... We had to do her first solo concert. ”

I frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

Kang Kang replied without giving an inch: "Our reason is very simple...... From 2000 to the present, there have been several phenomenal singers in our Chinese music scene, and you can count them on your fingers! Since we are all unanimously optimistic that Xiao Ai can become the next phenomenal female singer, the value of her first concert in her life is immeasurable...... So we must win the right to host the event...... Because our dream tree is different from the kind of venues that only charge a fee, we really need heavyweight artists to increase our topicality and cultural depth here, and we as shareholders really don't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...... What if, Xiao Ai, she really succeeds? …… Jiang Qiao, you can think about it, in the future, when others mention the dream tree, there is a gimmick to hold Xiao Ai's first concert before he becomes famous, what a awesome thing! ”

I was silent for a long time before I replied, "Then what do you want me to do when you tell me this?" ”

Kang Kang and Liu Liu glanced at each other and said, "We hope to get your support...... Because we are ready to hire a professional public relations company to help us win the right to hold Xiao Ai's first concert...... We don't want to miss this opportunity. ”

"What if I don't support it?"

At this time, Liu Liu, who had not spoken, said: "Then we have to exercise the power of shareholders and vote...... But before the vote, I still want to talk to you calmly...... After all, the business strategy of using the celebrity effect to increase the popularity of the dream tree is from your hands, and in the face of such a good opportunity, you as the founder should not pour cold water on us...... We just hope that you can treat this matter with a businesslike attitude, and put aside those unclear personal grievances for the time being, okay? ”

I replied sharply: "If Xiao Ai also has a business-like attitude, then why didn't she choose our dream tree?" …… There are some things that you don't want to be too wishful thinking, okay? ”

Liu Liu sighed, and then the first one raised his hand and said, "Since there is such a big difference, let's vote...... I am in favor of using public relations power to get the right to hold Xiao Ai's first solo concert. Shareholders here, if you have one idea, please raise your hand. ”

After Liu Liu's words were finished, someone immediately responded, and he was also a shareholder in charge of the company's finances, and he echoed Liu Liu and said, "I also agree...... I calculated that the cost of holding this concert and hiring a PR company was actually about 50,000 yuan...... If Xiao Ai can become a phenomenal singer as everyone wishes, then the rewards we get are immeasurable. Even if she doesn't become famous in the end, our loss will only be 50,000 yuan...... With such a small amount, it's not even an adventure, is it? The benefits are very, very substantial. ”

After the CFO finished speaking, more people expressed their support, and I was powerless to object, so I had to accept their proposal...... But that doesn't mean I approve of them doing it, because sometimes I really don't have the sense to do business.

I don't want Xiao Ai to be reduced to a tool in Vanity Fair before she officially debuts in Shanghai, and I feel sorry for her. Because these must not be what she was looking for in the first place. And my attitude is the same as before, everything goes naturally, never forced!

……

At dusk at sunset, I sat alone with a cigarette under a plane tree that had not grown leaves for a long time. Opposite me is a dream world, with buildings of different shapes and shapes, all built by people from all walks of life.

My favorite is the building called the Time Post Office. Because I would love to send a letter to my past self. Tell him that my current troubles may be avoided.

I would like to write a letter to my future self and tell him about my troubles at the moment, and then wait for him to reply, and he will tell me that my current troubles are not troubles at all......

Perhaps, it was because I had stared at a scene for too long, and my vision gradually blurred, but my heart gradually calmed down. From a business-like standpoint, Xiao Ai's first solo concert at Dream Tree is obviously much better than holding it at Naluopu Stadium...... Because the fantasy here is a seamless match with her psychedelic style, and for her fans, it will be an unforgettable audio-visual feast.

However, she was not willing to choose this place...... So I can see a lot of things through her choices. I know that even if she chooses to appear in the public eye, she has no intention of living in my world.

Therefore, Liu Liu and others are really stupid, because no matter how hard they try, they can't change Xiao Ai's choice.

However, I was tired of the aggressive business intentions that I had shown at the shareholders' meeting. Because that's not the main purpose of the "Dream Tree" that I worked so hard to gather these people to create in the first place. I just hope that everyone can reap a happiness and a relaxation here, and those fame and money should be looked down upon. However, most people nowadays don't think so...... They hope to get more and more substantial benefits from the "dream tree" through commercial means!

In the smoke dissipated, I smiled weakly, and I advised myself not to be so selfish, because there is only one river bridge in this world, and it is impossible for everyone to agree with my thoughts.

……

Before you know it, the "Dream Tree" has ushered in the best time of the day to take pictures, so many bridal shops bring couples here to take pictures.

I looked at it a little numbly, I can't see too many beautiful ingredients, all I can see is that these wedding photography shops will go to the finance department to pay 500-1000 yuan for the use of the venue after filming here, and I can also see the wisdom of Jin Qiu, because all of this is what she gave to the dream tree. It is also with these site usage fees that people who come here to build their dreams have the opportunity to realize their dreams while also getting rich rewards. After such a word-of-mouth spread, more and more people want to invest here, so there is this grand scene in front of them. But as time goes on, I wonder if these people are really realizing their dreams, or are they just for investment?

After thinking about it for a moment, dusk came, and when I looked out the door, I saw an elderly couple talking to the security guards, their expressions looking earnest, but the security guards were adamant to keep them out.

I tossed my extinguished cigarette butt into the trash can and headed for the door. I heard the old couple say to the security guard, "Young man, let's go in and take some pictures, we also saw your report on the Internet, so we came from Yancheng...... We can give you money, just to give each other such a heart-warming gift when you are 70 years old......"

The security guard replied resolutely: "I'm sorry, we are not open to tourists here, this is a dead rule." ”

The man in the old couple asked incomprehensibly, "Why is there such a death rule?" ”

The security guard's tone was already a little impatient, and he said: "If it is open to tourists, how many individual customers like you will come in, and it will interfere with the normal shooting of these wedding photography shops." They are big customers who can make money for us, so we definitely don't do this kind of business because of small losses, and this rule is formulated by our big leaders, I really can't let you in, don't embarrass me a little security guard, okay? ”

At this point, I finally couldn't help it. I patted the security guard on the shoulder and made him look back at me, and I asked him, "Come and tell me, which big leader made this rule?" ”

Maybe it was because my attitude wasn't as friendly as usual, so he looked at me a little nervously and didn't be able to speak for a long time.
