Chapter 66: 66 Planning Guidance

“Let’s talk about it later,” Zhao Yulu said, her mood slightly improved upon hearing Chen Guanglei’s words. “By the way, who intervened?”

Chen Guanglei replied, “It was Jiang Yuheng, the son of the president of the Southwestern Chamber of Commerce, who stepped in.”

“Jiang Yuheng?” Zhao Yulu frowned slightly. “Is that the one known as the top second-generation rich in Jiang City?”

Chen Guanglei nodded. “That’s him. He’s in charge of organizing and operating that special investment fund.”

Zhao Yulu asked again, “Which bank is the fund entrusted to?”

Chen Guanglei shook his head. “I don’t know about that. Things have gotten to this point, and my dad stopped asking. I don’t know either.”

Zhao Yulu was utterly disappointed. “Fine, I get it. I have to work now, so I’m going to hang up.”

Chen Guanglei quickly said, “Yu Lu, this was an accident. I’ll take you out to lunch at noon to apologize.”

Zhao Yulu responded coldly, “No need, I’ll be busy at noon too.”

Having said that, Zhao Yulu hung up the phone.

“What the hell is this?”

Hearing the beep from the phone, Chen Guanglei felt like smashing his mobile.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was December.

That day, Xu Yang went to Fengcai Guild to meet with Xiao Dongsheng and learn about the company’s operation.

“President Xu, most of the people on the list you provided have signed with us, a total of thirty-five.”

“Moreover, following the plan you provided for them, having them live stream and make videos, they all became influencers with over a million followers.”

“Three of them even became super influencers with over ten million followers, including your friend Lin Junyi.”

“Additionally, your cousin, even though she’s broadcasting and making videos back in her hometown, also became an influencer with a million followers.”

“Our original broadcasters also benefited greatly. We’ve redefined their development strategies, and they’ve all become million-follower influencers too.”

“With the significant addition of new broadcasters, as well as more support staff, our original office space is no longer sufficient.”

“So I rented two more offices in this building, now half the building is our office space.”

“Last month, the net profit of the company exceeded ten million, reaching thirteen million.”

“It can be said that the company is developing well, and the employees are full of confidence in its future.”

Xiao Dongsheng gave a brief report.

“Not bad, really not bad. Under your management, the company is getting better and better,” Xu Yang was very happy.

“President Xu, it’s largely thanks to the list you provided. If it weren’t for that, even if the company had developed, it wouldn’t have been this fast. I just executed what you suggested,” Xiao Dongsheng said, his statement both flattering and true.

It’s necessary to offer appropriate compliments to a boss.

Of course, the reality was exactly as he said.

Without Xu Yang’s list, even if Xu Yang had the money and the company had ample funds, it wouldn’t have been possible to grow so quickly.

“Haha, Xiao, you’re too modest. You’re quite capable,” Xu Yang enjoyed Xiao Dongsheng’s flattery.

He was now experiencing the feeling of being flattered.

It must be said, it was a very pleasant feeling.

No wonder so many leaders liked being flattered.

It’s just exhilarating!

“By the way, now that the streamers have signed contracts, apart from normal livestreams and short videos, what else do you think can increase the company’s revenue?” Xu Yang asked.

Today, he had come over, firstly to listen to Xiao Dongsheng’s report on the company’s situation, and secondly to ask if Xiao had any methods to further increase the company’s revenue.

“Well, we could let the streamers take on some advertisements, which is also a source of income,” Xiao Dongsheng considered for a moment before replying.

“That is indeed a source of income, but such revenue isn’t substantial enough to drive the company’s income to explode,” Xu Yang naturally knew that taking on advertisements was one way to earn revenue.

But that wasn’t the kind of revenue he was after.

“Explosive growth?” Xiao Dongsheng was stunned, then he bitterly smiled, “President Xu, achieving explosive growth for the company is easier said than done.”

Xu Yang knew that Xiao Dongsheng hadn’t thought of it and then said, “There is an opportunity right now.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xiao Dongsheng’s eyes lit up as he quickly asked, “President Xu, what opportunity?”

After the matter with the streamers’ list, Xiao Dongsheng was utterly convinced of Xu Yang’s capabilities.

If Xu Yang said there was an opportunity, then it definitely was one.

Xu Yang smiled, “Let the streamers sell products during their livestreams!”

Xiao Dongsheng was taken aback, then he said, “President Xu, Douyin doesn’t have this feature yet.”

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about having the streamers sell products during their livestreams.

After all, on other platforms, such as Cool Shou short videos and a certain treasure’s livestreaming product sales, this method was extremely popular and made everyone a fortune.

But Douyin didn’t have this feature yet.

Douyin’s rise was simply too fast, and many of its features were still not perfected.

“Old Xiao, given how well Douyin is doing now, it should soon surpass Cool Shou and become the dominant platform in the short video sector.”

“Livestream selling is a huge opportunity, and it’s inconceivable that Douyin wouldn’t get involved. I estimate they will soon introduce the feature for livestream selling,” Xu Yang continued.

“What our guild needs to do is seize this opportunity and become the first guild to engage in livestream selling on Douyin.”

“When Douyin launches this feature, there will inevitably be a pilot phase, and we will be that pilot.”

“Doing so will not only forge a good relationship with Douyin but also bring lots of popularity and revenue for our guild.”

“With our current strength and having so many high-quality streamers, I believe we would be able to partner with Douyin to become their pilot guild for livestream selling.”

“This is an opportunity. You get in touch with Douyin, and for the specifics, you know better than I how to proceed,” Xu Yang advised.

What Xu Yang was sharing came from an email the system had sent to him.

Within Douyin’s future strategic development plan, it outlined the launch of the livestream selling feature and its anticipated popularity.

What Xu Yang had to do was to point this out and let Xiao Dongsheng contact Douyin to foster this collaboration.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dongsheng felt like he had an epiphany.

“President Xu, you’re right, the livestream selling cake is definitely something Douyin will want a piece of, it’s just that they haven’t launched this feature yet,” Xiao Dongsheng agreed.

“Considering the pace they’re moving at, Douyin should be rolling out this feature very soon.”

“Indeed, this is an opportunity. If we could collaborate with Douyin, being their livestream selling partner could bring not only popularity and revenue but also promote our cooperation with Douyin.”

“I also believe our guild has the strength to work with Douyin. Our guild is full of high-quality streamers.”

The more Xiao Dongsheng spoke, the more excited he became, as if he could already see the scene where the guild would collaborate with Douyin, make a splash, and rake in a fortune in the livestream selling field.

He owned twenty percent of the guild’s shares; for every dollar the company earned, he had a twenty-cent income.

This only stimulated him further to do everything well.

Livestream selling would definitely be the operation that would realize explosive income growth for both the company and himself.
