Chapter 94: 94: Earning Fifty Million a Day

“Xu Yang actually acquired Fengcai Guild, what dumb luck, it’s really irritating.”

Chen Guanglei was indeed very annoyed, as if Xu Yang had stolen money from him.

“It looks like his ability to acquire ‘Burning Flames’ as well as investing in Wu Jing’s ‘War Panther’ is all thanks to the support from Fengcai Guild. With a steady stream of support from the guild, he’s not afraid of losses.”

Chen Guanglei gritted his teeth as he spoke.

“Let’s go.” Zhao Yulu didn’t want to say anything else.

What could you do about Xu Yang’s luck?

Back in the car.

Suddenly, Chen Guanglei said, “I want to put an end to Xu Yang’s luck.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhao Yulu was startled and looked at Chen Guanglei, not understanding what he meant by that.

Chen Guanglei continued, “Fengcai Guild has developed so well because of its president, Xiao Dongsheng. When I wanted to acquire Fengcai Guild, it was mainly because of Xiao Dongsheng. I investigated his background, and he’s a very capable person. With him managing the guild, it would definitely thrive. If I acquire a guild and poach Xiao Dongsheng, along with some of the guild’s streamers, Fengcai Guild’s development would be hindered and eventually fall into decline.”

Zhao Yulu said, “If Xiao Dongsheng is so capable, then Xu Yang will definitely find ways to keep him.”

Chen Guanglei laughed and said, “His methods of keeping people will definitely not be better than my methods of poaching. I’ll just throw money at them, and I don’t believe they won’t be tempted.”

Zhao Yulu said, “Throwing money at the problem is certainly tempting, but it’s not guaranteed to work.”

Chen Guanglei said, “Yu Lu, you say that because you don’t know the power of money. Most things in this world can be solved with money; if it’s not enough, then clearly the amount isn’t enough. Xiao Dongsheng is working for Xu Yang. If I offer a better package, he has no reason to refuse.”

Zhao Yulu didn’t speak any further.

Clearly, Chen Guanglei was firm in his belief and more words would be useless.

Moreover, this was Chen Guanglei’s business, not hers.

Chen Guanglei rolled his eyes and said, “Yu Lu, if I convince my dad to acquire a live streaming guild, I’d like you to be the vice president of the guild to help me oversee its development. Would you be willing?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yulu’s heart stirred.

This position was definitely a high-ranking one.

No matter what, having such an experience on her resume would be very helpful for her future career.

This was much better than Chen Guanglei arranging for her to work at his father’s company as an idler.

Thinking this, Zhao Yulu did not immediately agree, “Won’t you take up a position at the guild yourself?”

She still wasn’t keen on working at the same company as Chen Guanglei.

Chen Guanglei seemed to have anticipated this question from Zhao Yulu and replied, “I’ll be working at my dad’s company and won’t have the time to go over there often, just occasionally to check in. Would you like to help me?”

Zhao Yulu hesitated a moment then said, “If that’s the case, then I don’t see a problem.”

Since he was unemployed at the moment, being the vice president of a live streaming guild was quite attractive.

And since she wouldn’t be working in the same company as Chen Guanglei, it should be fine.

As for Chen Guanglei coming over occasionally, that wasn’t an issue.

After all, even if it wasn’t like this, Chen Guanglei often sought her out.

“Then it’s settled. I’ll look into which guild is worth acquiring in these next few days and then persuade my dad to invest and acquire it.”

Chen Guanglei laughed happily.

Zhao Yulu working in the acquired live streaming guild would obviously increase his chances with her more than before.

“Okay,” Zhao Yulu nodded, saying nothing more.

…

The live-streaming sales event continued until six in the afternoon.

Every time a host came on, it was a sensational scene.

After it ended, all the staff held a celebration banquet.

Xu Yang, Xiao Dongsheng, and Li Liangping all attended.

The next morning at eleven o’clock.

Xu Yang arrived at the company to hear Xiao Dongsheng’s summary report on yesterday’s live-streaming sales.

“President Xu, yesterday’s sales reached over two hundred and thirty million, with a profit of more than fifty-two million. Now the internet is full of news about our first collaboration with Douyin on live-streaming sales being a huge success!”

“Our Fengcai Guild has become the center of attention, firmly establishing our fame!” Xiao Dongsheng reported excitedly.

Upon hearing that the profit was over fifty million, Xu Yang was very pleased and couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Very good, this is a great start. Last night, at the celebration banquet, Li Liangping expressed his satisfaction and said that in the future, he will provide a certain amount of free traffic support to our Fengcai Guild, which is extremely beneficial for the long-term development of the guild.”

Xiao Dongsheng also happily said, “Yes, we seized the opportunity with this live-streaming pilot. Our Fengcai Guild’s earning capacity will rise to a new level. Viewers have a first come, first served mentality. In the future, even if other guilds do live-streaming sales, our guild has a significant advantage, one step ahead, step by step. Unless something unforeseen happens, no one will be able to catch up with us.”

To tell the truth, Xiao Dongsheng admired Xu Yang very much.

Both of the guild’s recent leapfrog developments were because of Xu Yang.

The first was signing those hosts.

Now, these hosts have all become internet celebrities, some even superstars.

With those hosts, the guild will not do poorly.

Then there was this live-streaming event, which was also suggested by Xu Yang.

Otherwise, he would never have thought to collaborate with Douyin.

Without these two developments, Fengcai Guild would have been just like the rest, toiling away in obscurity.

Xiao Dongsheng felt fortunate that Xu Yang had acquired the guild.

Furthermore, Xu Yang, this boss, not only had the capability, but he was also beyond reproach as a person.

He even gave him a twenty percent share in the company, a rarity in the industry.

In his heart, he silently vowed to do his job well. As long as Xu Yang didn’t dismiss him, he would continue working with Xu Yang for a lifetime.

Xu Yang nodded, “Old Xiao, this is all thanks to your efforts and those of all our employees. Arrange for a suitable cash bonus for every employee as a reward. Tell them that in our company, as long as you give, you will receive. We will never shortchange any employee.”

Xiao Dongsheng nodded, “Okay, what standard should we use for the bonus?”

This needed to be clarified as it involved money, and couldn’t be taken lightly.

After all, this was an extra reward, not part of the company’s regular incentives, and couldn’t be based on any rule or regulation.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yang said, “Five thousand for each senior staff member, three thousand for each mid-level staff member, and one thousand five hundred for each entry-level staff member.”

Xiao Dongsheng nodded, “Okay, I will issue it today.”

Once the amount was set, all that was left was to notify the finance department to handle it.

He believed that issuing this bonus would strengthen the employees’ sense of belonging to the company.

Xu Yang added, “Also, I want to say one more thing, no matter what, the quality of the products that our hosts sell must be strictly controlled.”

Xiao Dongsheng nodded, “President Xu, rest assured, I understand.”

After chatting for a few more moments, Xu Yang left.
