Chapter 389: The Contradiction Between Yang Chaoyue and Jiang Zeyu
Li Chuan gave a detailed account of the ins and outs of the matter. After listening to this, Jiang Zeyu was silent for a moment, and then said: "I understand, you called me just to let me negotiate with that Shou Weida of Wenlan Culture, right?" Li Chuan: "Well, his asking price is too high, and the opening is 200 million, I talked to him for a while and cut 20 million...... 180 million, it's still not good, you go and talk to him again, and if you have time, go to his company to inspect it, and strive to keep the price down. Jiang Zeyu: "How much?" Li Chuan: "It's best to be less than 100 million, 100 million, it's acceptable." When Jiang Zeyu heard this, he was silent again.
Li Chuan: "What's wrong?" Is there a problem? Jiang Zeyu: "I think...... It's a bit high. Li Chuan: "Huh? Jiang Zeyu: "You just said that Yang Chaoyue will not be able to do live streaming until June 2020, at that time, the industry will change a lot, and she may not be able to do it...... If she can't do it, our 100 million will be wasted. Li Chuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but glance down at Yang Chaoyue.
Yang Chaoyue's face was very ugly. She was next to her, and she was very close, and the sound of the mobile phone call was not small, and she heard what Jiang Zeyu said clearly.
Li Chuan was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only reach out and touch the other party's face to show comfort, and then continued to say to the phone: "I know what you said, you don't have to worry too much, Yang Chaoyue's basic plate is very stable, and it will be difficult to do live broadcast next year, although it is difficult to be the head, but it is still no problem to occupy a place...... As long as she can occupy a place and keep doing it, she will definitely be able to recoup the cost in the future. Jiang Zeyu: "What if she can't persevere?" Li Chuan: "Huh? Jiang Zeyu: "I'm afraid that if she does it for a while, she will choose to give up because she is not good enough, public opinion is poor, etc.?" Or reduce the frequency of live broadcasts, live broadcast once a month or even a few months......" Li Chuan pursed his lips and interrupted: "How can you think so? Jiang Zeyu: "When I was at Goldman Sachs before, I had contact with stars in the entertainment industry, according to my observation, the stars in the entertainment industry are not high in overall cultural literacy, and there are also defects in their personalities, they are like a group of spoiled children, with many requirements, low efficiency, no execution, and it is difficult to communicate, and their emotions are particularly unstable, for them, it is difficult to stick to one thing to the end." ”
"Ugh." Li Chuan glanced down at Yang Chaoyue again. Yang Chaoyue's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, and a trace flashed in his eyes
"Fierce light", as if it is about to explode at any time. Li Chuan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly explained: "You are generalizing, what you came into contact with before should be those little fresh meats, right?" Jiang Zeyu: "Hmm." Li Chuan: "Those little fresh meats do have such problems, but they are only a part of the entertainment stars, and they do not represent the entire entertainment industry...... Many stars in the entertainment industry have gone from being unknown to becoming famous, and in the middle, they have suffered a lot of criticism, and being able to survive shows that their ability to resist pressure is still very good. Jiang Zeyu: "You're right, but how can you guarantee that Yang Chaoyue is this kind of person?" Li Chuan: "You may not know much about Yang Chaoyue...... She was born in the countryside and worked hard in society very early, and she had been an Internet celebrity before...... Although her education level is not high, she has endured hardships and tiredness, has certain social experience, and has good cognition and ability to resist pressure, which is different from those 'pampered' little fresh meat. Jiang Zeyu: "Is that so?" Li Chuan: "What am I lying to you for?" Jiang Zeyu: "Oh, if that's the case, that's okay." Yang Chaoyue's face softened slightly when he heard this.
Li Chuan also smiled. But then, Jiang Zeyu spoke again: "However, I still think that 100 million is too much." As soon as these words came out, Yang Chaoyue's face became ugly again, and the smile on Li Chuan's face disappeared instantly.
Jiang Zeyu didn't know this, and continued at the moment: "Yang Chaoyue can only engage in live streaming after June 2020, and the expected rate of return is not high...... In this case, if the cost can be controlled below 50 million, then you can still operate, but 100 million, it is not necessary, I do not recommend you to do this. Li Chuan was a little afraid to look at Yang Chaoyue.
He turned his body to avoid Yang Chaoyue's gaze, and then said into the phone: "I can't say that, Yang Chaoyue's contract with Wenlan Culture will not end until 2026, and there are still seven years left...... For seven years, even if she doesn't do live broadcasts and bring goods, she only films, receives advertisements, and records variety shows, she can earn this money back. Jiang Zeyu: "Not necessarily, as far as I know, the life cycle of idol stars is relatively short, Yang Chaoyue may be popular in the past two years, and after this period of time, there will be no popularity and no traffic, and when the time comes, she may not be able to make a penny, and she will lose money to the company." Li Chuan was just about to speak, when he suddenly noticed a sound of restlessness coming from his side.
He hurriedly turned around, hugged Yang Chaoyue in his arms, and made a silent gesture, and then continued: "You underestimate her, her audience is very popular, as long as we operate with our hearts, she is not so easy to get angry." Jiang Zeyu: "How to operate with heart?" Our main business is live broadcast e-commerce, and we are doing the Internet celebrity industry, which is not compatible with the entertainment industry, and we don't have the resources and experience in that area, how can we operate? Li Chuan: "Isn't Wenlan Culture doing this kind of work, we will buy it, downsize the staff, form a team, and operate it for her, it shouldn't be a big problem." Jiang Zeyu: "I don't think that Wenlan Culture was just a small company before Yang Chaoyue became famous, and it didn't make any achievements, which can be seen from this point that the quality of their employees should not be high, and let them operate, the effect may not be as good as our own operation." Li Chuan: "We can also operate by ourselves, find a few suitable ones, and then hire a senior broker from the outside to form a team or set up a separate brokerage department...... That's fine. Jiang Zeyu: "Do you want to carry out star brokerage business within the company?" Li Chuan: "No, I'm just focusing on Yang Chaoyue's actual situation, and I will do a special thing." Jiang Zeyu: "Our main focus should be on live e-commerce. Li Chuan: "I know, I just mentioned the matter of the brokerage department casually, and I can discuss the specific situation later...... The main purpose of winning Yang Chaoyue is to bring goods for live broadcast. Jiang Zeyu: "If we only consider live streaming, I think the cost of 100 million is too high and the risk is too great, and we don't need to do it." Li Chuan: "You can talk about it first, if you can talk about less than 100 million, that's the best; If you can't talk about it, then find a way to win Yang Chaoyue's short video brokerage contract and live broadcast brokerage contract. Jiang Zeyu pondered for a moment and said, "Well, that's okay." Li Chuan: "I have already told Shou Weida about this, but he didn't reply, only said that he would think about it...... In a moment, I'll send you his phone number, you can have a good chat with him and follow up. Jiang Zeyu: "Okay, I'll contact him when I'm done here." Li Chuan: "Well, then let's do this first, if there is a situation, report to me at any time." Jiang Zeyu: "Wait a minute, I still have a question." Li Chuan: "What's the problem?" Jiang Zeyu: "What if Shou Weida does not agree to sell Yang Chaoyue's short video brokerage contract and live broadcast brokerage contract separately, and the asking price cannot be reduced to less than 100 million?" Li Chuan: "You try to talk about it." Jiang Zeyu: "I will try my best to talk, but if his attitude is very resolute and I can't talk no matter what means I use, what should I do?" Li Chuan was silent for a while.
Jiang Zeyu: "Let me ask the other way, do you have to take Yang Chaoyue, or can you take it or not?" Li Chuan: "This ......" Jiang Zeyu: "I must understand your attitude before I can formulate a negotiation plan, otherwise, the direction may be wrong." Li Chuan didn't know how to speak.
He didn't think about this question either. However, he quickly figured it out. Because when he hesitated, he felt a murderous gaze, staring at him.
Under pressure, he decisively chose to compromise. Li Chuan: "It must be won!" Jiang Zeyu: "Must be won?" Li Chuan: "Well, it must be taken!" Jiang Zeyu paused and said, "Okay, I understand." ”
"......" hung up the phone, Li Chuan looked down at Yang Chaoyue, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "How is it?" Still satisfied? Yang Chaoyue glanced at the mobile phone in Li Chuan's hand and asked, "Who is this person?" ”
"Jiang Zeyu." Li Chuan introduced: "The vice president of my company is usually responsible for the company's investment and finance. ”
"He's talking, it's so ugly."
"Well, he's a man...... It's a bit ugly to say, but there's nothing bad about it, don't worry about it. ”
"I hate him." Yang Chaoyue's face was cold and asked, "Can you fire him?" ”
"What?" Li Chuan was stunned.
"You can fire him, I don't want to work with him, I ......"
"What are you kidding!" Li Chuan shouted angrily, his face was very gloomy. He never thought that Yang Chaoyue would be able to say such a thing.
Who is Jiang Zeyu? He is a high-quality talent who graduated from Peking University and Harvard, was born in Goldman Sachs, and is at the top of the pyramid
Another pillar of the "Miki system". Li Chuan has always regarded him as his successor. It can be as short as a few months, as long as a year or two, and then he will recede
The position of "general manager" was handed over to Jiang Zeyu. How could such a person be fired at will.
To put it mildly, among all the employees in the company, the only thing he values is Jiang Zeyu. Except for Jiang Zeyu, the rest are all crooked melons and cracked dates.
Even Wang Chengyong, Yu Jie, Wu Wenfan and others are no exception. Wang Chengyong, Yu Jie, Wu Wenfan and others quit, and Li Chuan could find a suitable replacement the next day, but Jiang Zeyu couldn't.
Without Jiang Zeyu, it would be almost impossible for him to find the same high-quality talent. From this, it can be seen how important Jiang Zeyu is.
The words "expelling Jiang Zeyu" came out of Yang Chaoyue's mouth, which really made Li Chuan a little angry.
Yang Chaoyue also felt Li Chuan's anger, closed his mouth in a daze, and didn't dare to speak. However, although she does not speak with her mouth, her eyes speak all the time.
Her eyes were red, flashing with tears, revealing endless grievances.
"You ......" Li Chuan was irritable in his heart, and wanted to open his mouth to refute a few more words, but as soon as he spoke, he suddenly remembered something.
He seemed to have promised Yang Chaoyue a few minutes ago that he should pay attention to controlling his emotions and not get angry and angry casually.
Manly man, how can you talk and not count. Thinking of this, Li Chuan's anger dissipated. Looking at Yang Chaoyue again, he changed to a tone as gentle as possible, and said, "That...... You don't know, Jiang Zeyu is a person...... It's important to me and the company, and I can't just fire him. Yang Chaoyue felt Li Chuan's change, his face softened slightly, but he was still a little unconvinced: "How important?" ”
"He is a rare talent, graduated from Peking University with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from Harvard, and he ......"
"Harvard?!" Yang Chaoyue was surprised.
"Huh? You know? ”
"You know, Harvard is the best university in the world."
"Well, it's not."
"How not? I grew up hearing that Harvard is the best university in the world! ”
"When was that, the 'World University Rankings' changed every year, Harvard may have been number one before, but not anymore, in recent years, the number one university in the world has always been MIT, of course, Harvard is not bad, it can be ranked in the top five or top three every year."
"Oh, that's right." Yang Chaoyue understood, and said: "The top five and top three are also very powerful. ”
"Hmm." Li Chuan nodded, and wanted to say something more, but Yang Chaoyue suddenly spoke again.
"I see." Yang Chaoyue said with a straight face: "He is indeed a rare talent. ”
"Huh?" Li Chuan was stunned and didn't react for a while. Yang Chaoyue thought that Li Chuan didn't hear clearly, and repeated: "I said, he is indeed a rare talent, you are right not to fire him, I can understand." ”
"Oh." Li Chuan reacted, and his expression became quite exciting. He didn't quite understand Yang Chaoyue's thoughts.
He only said that Jiang Zeyu is a top student who graduated from Peking University and Harvard, and has not yet introduced his work experience and the role he plays in his current work...... These, in his opinion, are the most important.
Yang Chaoyue judged Jiang Zeyu to be a rare talent based on just one academic qualification...... This way of judging is too one-sided.
There may be many people in society who have similar ideas to Yang Chaoyue, but Li Chuan can't understand it. However, he didn't bother to explain or correct it.
As long as Yang Chaoyue understands his practice of not firing Jiang Zeyu, it's okay, what do you do with so much, it's useless, and you will make trouble for yourself.
"It's good if you understand, I'm afraid you don't understand." Li Chuan smiled.
"I understand, but it's ......" Yang Chaoyue said, pouting again: "I think he is prejudiced against me." ”
"It's not." Li Chuan waved his hand and explained: "He was in contact with some relatively bad stars before, so he had some prejudice against your group...... Just now, I explained it to him clearly, and he also believed it, and in the future, he will definitely not be biased against you. ”
"Really?"
"Really."
"That's good." Yang Chaoyue nodded, a smile on his face. Seeing this, Li Chuan also smiled. He hugged Yang Chaoyue in his arms and said, "Leave your business to him, you can rest assured, he will definitely be able to handle it for you." ”
"Hmm."
"You, don't think about it so much, wait until tomorrow to come back to BJ, you ...... Eh, what are you doing?! Li Chuan said, and suddenly noticed an abnormal touch.
"I'm bored, you can play with me for a while." Yang Chaoyue hugged Li Chuan's neck with silky eyes.
Li Chuan raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to play?" ”
"What do you say?"
"I'm a little tired, let's talk about it in the evening."
"Oops~~."
"Eh, good, good." Li Chuan couldn't stand it, so he surrendered decisively: "Come on, come on...... Where is it? Over here? Or go to the bedroom? ”
"That's it."
"Ah, wait a minute."
"What's wrong again?"
"The curtains aren't closed."
"It's annoying." Yang Chaoyue was annoyed and punched Li Chuan in the arm. When she was done, she got up and walked to the window and closed the curtains.
Then, she hurried back and rushed into Li Chuan's arms......
