Gu Qingcheng and Chen Shi were sitting in the car. She learned a lot during the time she stayed with Chen Shi, and she seemed to have grown up suddenly, because she now understood everything she didn't know before, and she also knew that her cousin was a
Being a boss is very difficult.
"Why should we invest in this company? I have investigated and found that there is no return on our investment in this company. Why should our company invest in this company? Help this company advertise and market products for free?" Gu
Qingcheng sat in the back row and asked Chen Shi with a tablet, whether this was a very small company, a beverage company, or a newly established company.
Chen Shi looked at it, then checked the company on his mobile phone, showed the shareholders of this company to Gu Qingcheng, and then said: "Did you see, there is a shareholder named Wang Fang here, this person is the owner of this company
The largest shareholder, Wang Fang is the daughter of the CEO of one of our largest sponsors.
So, we have to help promote it for free, and we also have to invest some funds in it, do you understand?"
"I don't understand, why not invest?" Gu Qingcheng asked.
"It won't work if we don't invest. If we don't invest in others and take care of their apples, they may not sponsor us. After all, there are so many programs asking for sponsorship. Some things are problems if you don't see them as problems. You don't know why some bosses
I will do some unreasonable things because I don’t want to tell the following.
Some things that you think are unreasonable are because you don’t know the reasons behind them. For example, in this matter, many employees will probably complain about your cousin and I for not knowing how to behave, and they will also ridicule us.
But there is no need for us to explain these things to others. If you follow up on this, we will invest two million at our will and give you five million worth of promotion fees to help promote this company for free, and we will be done.
My father invested 200 million yuan in sponsorship for us and placed advertisements in many of our web dramas and web variety shows. I would like to renew our contract with them next year.
Last time we had dinner, someone mentioned his daughter's company to your cousin. It's just started, has no reputation, and doesn't know how to market. I hope your cousin can give me some advice and help. You understand it so straightforwardly.
Bar."
Gu Qingcheng nodded, and then marked this project as a key project. Gu Qingcheng learned again that some things that seemed to be inexplicable by the boss turned out to have reasons behind them.
The driver took Chen Shi and Gu Qingcheng to a six-star hotel. There was someone waiting for them in the hotel lobby.
This is a six-star hotel, basically six to seven-star hotels, which are only found in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Ordinary people really can’t afford such a high-consumption place. Some time ago, someone was photographed buying something in a five-star hotel.
I bought a bottle of Coke for 42 yuan, which attracted a lot of attention and complaints online. Many people didn’t understand it and thought the price was high, etc. It was a shady businessman.
In fact, this is normal. A bottle of canned Coca-Cola sells for 2 yuan in supermarkets, 3 yuan in small shops outside, and usually costs 4 to 5 yuan in restaurants. It is basically 10 yuan in higher-end restaurants, and 15 yuan in ordinary bars.
to about twenty yuan.
For example, if you go to a bar and order twenty bottles of Coke, in a bar with no minimum consumption, the twenty yuan is equivalent to your rest fee and the cost of listening to music, not the actual cost of buying Coke.
A bottle of Coke sold in a five-star hotel for RMB 42 also includes a 15% service fee. The service fee includes the doorman carrying your suitcase, driving the door for you, pressing the elevator button for you, and asking the front desk to help you with just one phone call.
You book a car and so on.
The rest is the cost of your stay at the venue, such as the decoration of a five-star hotel, the enjoyment of sitting on the sofa, etc. In fact, the photographers who find it unbelievable that they spent 42 yuan on a bottle of Coke are either from their employer
Reimbursement or customer reimbursement for a five-star stay without spending any money, and then asked for a bottle of Coke, thinking that they were asking for a black price, or they did it deliberately and wanted to get attention, because they knew the Coke at this price
It will definitely attract a lot of attention and comments.
But first of all, this is normal. Five-star hotels will not force you to spend money. This is a kind of marketing. Marketers know that most people will never accept this price and it will easily lead to topics.
A can of Coke in a six-star hotel costs about 60, and there is also a service fee. Moreover, the sofa and coffee table seating areas in the lobby are about two meters apart. The lobby is very high-end, and the distance between each seating area will not let you down.
You speak and others hear you.
You must know that land in the imperial capital is very expensive. A large part of this hall is vacant just to put a few sofas for guests to rest. There are no rows of sofas sitting in rows, and there is a huge one in the center of the hall.
The flowerpots contain potted plants designed by a specialist.
Chen Shi and Gu Qingcheng walked to a rest area, where a woman wearing sunglasses and a black suit sat there. Chen Shi greeted Gu Qingcheng and said, "Hello, I am Chen Shi, the vice president of Empty Bottle Media.
This is my assistant Gu Qingcheng, where is Yani?"
The woman sitting opposite is the manager of a female artist who has become very popular recently, and the website of Empty Bottle Media wants to invite this female artist to participate. After all, these popular artists can attract sponsors and fans' attention.
"She is resting. She has two international first-line brands to attend in a while. Just let me come and talk to you. I am usually responsible for this. Don't waste your time. Your variety shows need attention. Usually this kind of show needs attention.
Even our Yanni won't be able to get into variety shows, and the price is 10 million.
If you can accept it, continue talking. If you don't accept it, there's no need to talk. Can you accept it?"
Chen Shi said with a smile: "It's not expensive, it's acceptable, and what else? For example, the itinerary and staff accommodation. You can give me a list and I can arrange it."
"Everything about the itinerary is based on our time. I'll let you know when the time comes. Our Yani doesn't like the sun or strenuous exercise. After all, if she gets injured, who is responsible for the loss?
You can't ask any emotional questions, you can't speculate on CP with other artists, especially your artists, you can't ask some difficult questions that are beyond the scope of our Yani's ability. It's best not to ask questions about knowledge beyond the third grade of elementary school, and it's best not to be asked.
Ancient prose, ancient poetry, etc., our Yani is not good at this.
Also, are you planning to go abroad to shoot this show? I will only give you two days to shoot. If you check in, it cannot be lower than the presidential suite of a five-star hotel. Yani’s sleep quality is very poor, and she must sleep in a five-star hotel at least.
presidential suite.
As for the staff, they all have to stay in five-star hotels to facilitate the work of Yani. I will tell you the specific number of people accompanying Yani, Yani, me, Yani’s assistant, my assistant, Yani’s assistant’s assistant, makeup
Two stylists, two makeup artist assistants, one costumer, one costumer assistant, two personal trainers, two personal trainer assistants, one personal doctor, one personal doctor assistant, one translator, one translation assistant
Name, four bodyguards.”
Chen Shi was shocked when he heard this. He calculated in his mind how many people the female artist Yani would accompany on the trip this time. Let me tell you, twenty-one people. One artist brought twenty-one people. Not long ago, Ting Feng was in
It was said on the program that he once invited an artist to be with him, but it turned out that the star and his agent brought assistants, and the assistants also had assistants, a large group of people. Ting Fung simply refused to invite the artist.
I didn't expect this to happen. Chen Shi felt that the artists in his company were pitiful. The most popular flash girl now only had an assistant and two bodyguards following her. Zhang Guosheng was even worse. He and his assistant were the only ones running around most of the time.
When he goes to a commercial performance to participate in a show, sometimes he goes alone when his assistant has something to do.
I deeply remember that Brother Gu Yue once said at a large award ceremony that he met Teacher Xuejian on the plane. Brother Gu Yue brought a total of two entourages, but Teacher Xuejian came to this event alone.
For the award ceremony, I arrived with a suitcase.
Why do so many celebrities like to bring so many people with them? In fact, they just want to get everyone's attention, because without the support of these people, you wouldn't even know she is a star.
But this time you are shooting abroad. Who knows you abroad, but they still want to play this trick. An ordinary single room in a five-star foreign country costs hundreds of dollars. With so many people and a presidential suite, there are
Food, accommodation and transportation cost less than $20,000 a day.
Including air tickets and other items, these people will be reimbursed as a four-day round trip for two days of shooting. The total amount is less than $100,000. These are all costs.
Not counting her filming salary, one hundred thousand US dollars was enough to cover the cost of a production team abroad for a month. The staff of their own program production team only stayed in a hotel worth tens of US dollars. They directly asked all the accompanying staff to pay five
Star Hotels.
Chen Shi looked at the other party and said: "There will be at least eighteen bodyguards. I will arrange it. It is best to prepare a few chefs and physical therapists. Are there any requirements for the filming location?"
"Eighteen Bronze Men? Okay, eighteen bodyguards are not too many. I have the best chefs and physical therapists. The shooting location should preferably be in a first-tier international city and not in poor places."
"Okay, I agree. Everything will be according to your wishes."
"Can you be the master of the house?" the agent looked at Chen Shi and asked.
"Okay, I have the final say. If you have any other requests, just ask." Chen Shi said.
Gu Qingcheng looked at Chen Shi in disbelief. Is this acceptable?
"No, please make the contract and send it to me. After reading it, make a one-time payment without any debt. Then you will reimburse all the travel expenses. Don't let us pay and ask you to reimburse us. By the way, a vehicle is the best way to travel.
Minimum million-level car, arrange a separate nanny car for Yani, that's all, let's go first." The female agent got up and left, with a proud look on her face. She loves talking to such small companies, especially those that have just been established.
Soon, they are Party A, but they have to rely on themselves, Party B, because they need Yani's popularity and blessing.
Chen Shi called the waiter to pay the bill, but the waiter told Chen Shi that the female agent just now asked Chen Shi to help pay for Yani's consumption here, which totaled 27,000 yuan.
Chen Shi didn't say anything, just asked for the invoice to pay the bill and left. It was all small money.
Gu Qingcheng said angrily: "Can you accept this? Their accommodation expenses are reimbursed by their sponsors, but they eat and drink by themselves. Why should we pay for it? It costs more than 27,000 yuan to eat whatever they want in a day."
"I guess there are a lot of staff, and it's just a small amount of money. Contact the head office to get the contract stamped." Chen Shi said.
"Will my cousin agree to such a contract?" Gu Qingcheng asked.
Chen Shi flipped through his phone and saw that Yani's photos and information were on the page. Fans commented that Yani was approachable and did not have any idol baggage. Fans were the easiest group to be deceived.
"First of all, I am the largest shareholder of the company, and I also have 100% decision-making power. Whether it is shares or equity, I am the largest shareholder of the company, so whatever I say will matter. Secondly, your cousin will definitely agree. You
Just let the head office draw up the contract according to the other party's requirements," Chen Shi said.
Angrily, Gu Qingcheng and Chen Shi came to the company in Imperial Capital, and then typed on the computer and sent them to the head office. They also called his cousin to consult. As a result, his cousin agreed very happily, which left Gu Qingcheng completely at a loss.
,What's the matter?
Knocking on the door and entering Chen Shi's office, Gu Qingcheng saw that Chen Shi was still looking at Yani's information. The computer screen was filled with Yani's pages. Gu Qingcheng said angrily: "The word "sex" has a knife on it, please pay attention.
, you can’t let everyone suffer along with that female artist because of your hobbies.”
Chen Shi looked at Gu Qingcheng and smiled: "What? Did your cousin agree? Since you are studying and working with me, I will teach you a lesson today. Go and pour me a cup of coffee. I will tell you why.
Your cousin will happily agree."
When Gu Qingcheng heard this, she quickly went to pour coffee for Chen Shi, and then prepared to listen carefully. She knew that there seemed to be some secret here.
Chen Shi took a sip of coffee, picked up the remote control and lowered the curtain, then turned on the projector and connected the computer screen to the projector. Gu Qingcheng saw that the screen on the screen was an online variety show just planned by Empty Bottle Media Company.
, called {New Century Journey to the West}, is to let a group of artists go to Western countries to taste the local food and understand the local culture, and recommend our country’s food to the people there, and also introduce various places in our country.
City tourist attractions.
Chen Shi looked at the projection and explained: "First of all, our program is not well-known. The online variety shows produced by our company still have a low market share. You can also watch self-made programs from small websites, because the number of active users is certainly not high.
There were many big companies in those early days.
For example, it is also a rap show. A strange one has various headlines and hot searches, but there are very few small websites. The most important thing is the number of users. More than 90% of the small websites are young people.
And a certain strange user group, ranging from children to the elderly, is basically several times the number of users of Xiaopo.com.
Our overall network attention is several times smaller than that of a small website. Now our empty bottle entertainment APP has only a few hundred thousand active users, and more than a million registered users are all virtual. If this continues, our growth rate will be
It’s very slow. We need external force to increase the number of users and attention. If we go for it ourselves and run advertising and marketing, if it costs 100 million, we may attract up to ten or two hundred thousand users. Don’t doubt it, attracting traffic is a very important thing.
Difficult things.
At this time, we need external force. What is the external force here? It is heat and attention, and this Yani is my attention.
We will follow their request and give her the biggest advantage. Then we will arrange for a group of people to follow her secretly. The title will be that Yani is so famous that she has gone abroad.
She brought so many people with her, and she was going to be interrogated over there, so we could take these photos. We were looking for a few foreigners to complain about her acting like a big name. I couldn’t understand why she brought so many people to occupy public resources and not let others get close.
she.
You see, isn’t this popular? Their company spent a lot of money to run her, so she has a lot of attention now. I just saw that she has been on 61 hot searches this year, and she has more than 4,000 fans.
10,000, excluding trolls and so on, it is estimated that 180 fans really follow her, but there must be tens of millions of users who have heard of her, and there are millions of users here who may hate this kind of traffic.
When this information comes out and our program is broadcast, many people will definitely want to watch it. We prohibit any user from reprinting and downloading. Anyone who wants to record the screen and repost it will sue them. When the time comes, we will pull the user over. Stop talking.
With an increase of tens of millions of users, there are currently 904 million active Internet users in our country. Did you not expect that there are so many online names?
Among the 904 million people, there are at least two to three hundred million people who pay attention to such news, and there are at least tens of millions of users who really want to watch the show and see how Yani performs in the show.
It will be interesting when we make this matter bigger, especially when celebrities are playing big names and playing big names abroad. Yani will definitely choose to suppress such news at the first time, and then explain, this
This matter cannot be suppressed with 10 or 20 million. By the way, we can help promote our program again.
And when we run the program across the entire network, the cost will be less than 20 million, but it is equivalent to spending 500 million or more to promote our APP and programs, do you understand?"
When Gu Qingcheng heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his back and he said, "Then, wouldn't that Yani's acting career be ruined?"
"Destroyed? You value the memory of the Internet too much. This kind of big-name news will disappear after a month at most, maybe less than a week, and then people will still make money in various ways and have a lot of fans to support them, as long as they don't commit any illegal crimes.
These artists are basically not afraid of being embarrassed.
But for us, this is the biggest opportunity. Let alone 10 million, I will give her 20 million. Moreover, we are expounding the facts of a matter. When the time comes, find me some more bodyguards.
It’s best to recruit people who like to push away passers-by and fans to clear the way for celebrities.”
Gu Qingcheng~ I have a very bad feeling. If I do this in a foreign country, it might be on the local news.
Moreover, the manager of this female artist also asked for filming in first-tier international cities. I am sure many people will see it. Chen Shi is so cruel. Didn’t they just ask you to pay for it and spend 27,000 yuan? He wanted to
They lost 100 million.
Gu Qingcheng did not dare to predict such consequences, but as Chen Shi said, it would bring the greatest popularity and topic to the new program of Empty Ping Media. It would also increase the number of users of the Empty Ping Media APP, and it might break through overnight.
For tens of millions of registered users, you must first contact the service provider in advance to increase the capacity to welcome tens of millions of registered users.
For the first time, Gu Qingcheng knew how scary Chen Shi was. It was best not to be an enemy of this guy. Anyone who becomes an enemy of him will definitely not get good results. I guess the female artist's manager will be very arrogant when she goes back, so she can talk to herself.
It's the next big business. It's hard to imagine her expression when the time comes.
Gu Qingcheng increased the number of entourage to fifty people, added eighteen bodyguards, and also added miscellaneous service personnel to serve Yani specifically. When this was photographed, it would probably cause a huge sensation. The contract
Give it to the other party, and the other party will be very satisfied.
At that time, if the other party wants to frame it and say that it was arranged by the program team, it will be written in the contract that these entourages are the number of people required by Party B. You have also signed and confirmed it. This will make it impossible to argue. That's why Chen Shi will agree to everything the other party said and follow the other party's instructions.
If you ask for something, you are afraid that the other party won't do it, and the more you act like a monster, the more troubles you make, the better.
"I'll go out and you can follow up on the work." Chen Shi said to Gu Qingcheng.
