Chapter 14: Getting on the right track
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
When the time came to August, the weather was still unbearable, but it had changed from an oven to a steamer.
At this time, almost all people had the same ideal, that is, to sit in an air-conditioned room and nibble on watermelon.
Li Chuan is the same, but unlike many people, his ideals have been realized.
In his rental house, the power of the air conditioner is turned on to the maximum, and there are two large watermelons on the coffee table, one of which has been cut, and the bright red and translucent melon pulp is exposed, which is very tempting.
At this time, Li Chuan was sitting on the sofa, riding a garbage can, and slowly nibbling on a piece of watermelon.
There were two other people next to him, a man and a woman, the woman was Chen Chen, and the man was a young man.
The young man was about twenty years old, and there was still a trace of childishness on his face, and if he looked closely, his face was somewhat similar to Li Chuan.
This person's name is Li Kun, and he is the son of Li Chuan's uncle's family, that is, his cousin.
Since Li Chuan started filming videos of visiting the store, his workload has increased tremendously, and he and Chen Chen are too busy. He didn't think it was an option, so he thought about finding someone else to help.
It was at this stall that my father called from his hometown.
When Li Chuan first made short videos, he hid it from his family, but the paper couldn't hold the fire, and as "Mr. Sen" became more and more famous on the Internet, his parents also heard some news from outsiders.
A week ago, my father called me to question, and Li Chuan couldn't hide it, so he simply admitted it.
Dad thought traditionally, and when he heard that he gave up the opportunity to work in Ahri, he turned to do self-media and Internet celebrities, and his whole popularity almost vomited blood, and immediately threatened to break his legs.
However, when Li Chuan calmly said his income, the whole world was instantly quiet.
Therefore, my parents not only know that he is making short videos, but also know that he is doing well and can make a lot of money.
My father called this time and said that his uncle's son Li Kun had graduated from junior college not long ago and couldn't find a particularly good job in his hometown, so he asked him if he could let Li Kun come over and work with him.
When Li Chuan heard this, he thought to himself, "Isn't this a pillow sent to the door", and agreed without saying a word.
Although Li Kun was arranged by his family, Li Chuan was not worried at all, because he still knew his cousin very well.
Li Kun's academic performance is not good, but he is still relatively smart, he is mainly too naughty, can't sit still, often fights and quarrels when he was a child, causing trouble, and is often called a parent by the school, and belongs to the "problem student" in school.
Li Kun looks like a "problem student", which seems to be difficult to discipline, but Li Chuan knows that this is only for other people, and in front of him, Li Kun is a good baby.
From childhood to adulthood, Li Kun has always behaved very obediently in front of Li Chuan, almost doing whatever Li Chuan tells him to do, and never talking nonsense.
Why is this happening?
Li Chuan actually didn't know very well, he thought it might be because Li Kun had been brainwashed by his family for too long.
Li Chuan has always been a "child of other people" since he was a child, with good academic performance, often serving as a cadre, being kind and having high emotional intelligence. When I was a child in the village, many neighbors and parents often used Li Chuan to educate their children.
The neighbors are still like this, not to mention the uncle who has a very close relationship.
Li Kun was whipped and educated by the uncle for three days because he often caused trouble, and every time the uncle educated Li Kun, he almost always put the word "your brother (Li Chuan)" on his lips.
After a long time of going back and forth, Li Kun was brainwashed, causing him to have a trace of instinctive fear and respect in his heart every time he saw Li Chuan.
Li Chuan finished nibbling a piece of watermelon, threw the watermelon skin into the trash, wiped his mouth again, then looked at Li Kun on the side and asked, "Xiao Kun, you have been here for three days, how are you familiar with your work?" ”
"Almost, man, I already know how to talk to the restaurateurs."
"Well, after that, the second work WeChat will be handed over to you to operate, you must be careful, pay attention to the ways and means when chatting, and make a record after chatting"
Li Chuan commanded, and then said: "Xiao Kun, you have already participated in the work, you must adjust your mentality in time, there are some things I don't want to say too much, but I have to give you a reminder...... Although I am your brother, I am also your boss, my career is just getting started, I don't want someone to hold me back, do you understand? ”
"Brother, I understand." Li Kun said with a serious face.
"Well, I believe you can do a good job, if you don't understand anything, just ask Chen Chen, she has more experience. In addition, the two of you have been working hard lately, working more overtime to catch up with the progress of the work, because it will be very busy in a while......"
……
This morning, Li Chuan followed a real estate agent to an office building.
"Mr. Li, this is it, on the 12th floor of Yongrui Building, there are only three companies on the entire floor, and it is still relatively quiet.
This is an office hall with an area of 200 square meters, which can accommodate up to 80 employees at the same time...... There are two offices here, one large and one small, the large one is 30 square meters and the small one is 20 square meters...... Here are the toilets, four pits for men and four women, and a washbasin...... This side is the conference room, there is the warehouse, the conference room is 35 square meters, and the warehouse is 30 square meters...... There's also a relaxation area here, which was made by the previous company, so you can keep it if you like, and it's pretty good...... The total area of the entire office space is 410 square meters, all of which are finely decorated, and the network cables, telephone lines, water and electricity are also ready-made, and you can use them directly with desks and computers.
That's pretty much it, Mr. Lee, what do you think? ”
"Not bad." Li Chuan nodded.
Start your own company.
This is an idea that Li Chuan has had for a long time, and the reason why he has only started to implement it now is because he had no funds before.
Now, the situation is different.
In the past half a month, Li Chuan has filmed three videos of visiting the store in a row, and now he has more than 500,000 deposits in his bank card.
Of course, money is only one aspect, and more importantly, his business of visiting stores is also on the right track.
The three store visit videos he posted before each of them have more than 20 million views.
The video continues to go viral and brings him millions of followers.
So far, the number of followers of "Mr. Sen's" account on Douyin has exceeded 6 million! In addition, he has more than 1 million fans in Kuaishou, more than 100,000 on Station B, and more than 30,000 on Xiaohongshu.
Today's "Mr. Sen", with nearly 8 million fans on the whole network, is already a real Internet celebrity.
Moreover, he is not an ordinary Internet celebrity, he is an Internet celebrity with accurate positioning and strong monetization ability.
Although many Internet celebrities have millions of fans, because they do not have accurate positioning, the fan group is not vertical enough, and it is difficult to obtain market recognition, which makes it difficult for the account to monetize.
There are fans and traffic, but they just can't make money, this phenomenon is very common in the Internet celebrity industry.
"Mr. Sen" is different, he is now positioned as a store blogger, and he can continue to generate income for himself through "store visits".
The previously scheduled western restaurants, barbecue restaurants, and fast food restaurants were all filmed, earning nearly 600,000 commissions, but his pace of exploring the store did not stop.
As his fans grew larger and more famous, more and more restaurants took the initiative to come to his door.
Now Li Chuan, the shooting schedule has been scheduled for two months!
So he didn't worry about the money at all, more than half a million was spent, and there were still a large number of banknotes queuing up behind.
It is precisely because of this that Li Chuan has the confidence to start his own company.
