Wang Yi didn't know Song Sining's thoughts, and said with a smile:
"No time like the present, how about tomorrow noon. You arrange with the agent, and I'll go with you to see the house."
Song Sining smiled slightly:
"Tomorrow noon won't work, Boss, have you forgotten? We have an appointment with the spokesperson!"
"Right, I almost forgot about that!"
Today is August 7th, and the Meiyou spokesperson will be officially announced on the 10th!
Dozens of new Meiyou products will be released, including pure desire style dresses, pure desire style lingerie, and pure desire style stockings!
Therefore, Ye Xiaohe must come to Jeju tomorrow to shoot promotional posters and advertisements for Meiyou's new pure desire style dresses, lingerie, and stockings!
This is to better coordinate with the new product launch!
However, since Song Sining was in charge of all these matters, Wang Yi almost forgot.
"As expected, you're a hands-off boss, forgetting such an important matter,"
Song Sining sighed:
"But it's fine, I've arranged everything. The studio is rented, the photographers and makeup artists have also been hired in advance, their capabilities are not an issue. We also rented a Toyota Alphard to pick up Ye Xiaohe at the airport early tomorrow morning, and then go directly to the studio for shooting!"
Compared to sedans and SUVs, an MPV like the Toyota Alphard is more suitable for celebrity commutes.
After all, celebrities don't come alone; their agents and assistants follow, and a small car wouldn't fit them all.
Wang Yi nodded:
"Alright, as long as you have it arranged."
Song Sining, however, was a little worried:
"It's my first time dealing with a celebrity, I don't know if they'll be easy to talk to, or if they'll act like a diva."
Wang Yi smiled:
"What are you worried about? We're the sponsors, we're Party A. She's just a small celebrity."
Let alone Ye Xiaohe isn't famous, what if she were?
Celebrities only act like divas with small, unpromising brands, but for big brands, they practically grovel.
For a promising brand like Meiyou, any artist with a bit of sense wouldn't mess around.
"Oh, that's good,"
Song Sining breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Yi chuckled:
"You don't need to feel any pressure. In fact, when you meet tomorrow, Ye Xiaohe should be the one feeling pressured!"
The aura of a celebrity makes many people feel pressured.
But for someone like Song Sining, who is more attractive than most celebrities and is also a senior executive of Party A, there's absolutely no need to feel pressured.
On the contrary, Ye Xiaohe will feel the pressure.
"Why?"
Song Sining didn't understand, and picked up a piece of cooked meat to give to Wang Yi.
"You'll know when we meet tomorrow,"
Wang Yi smiled mysteriously.
"You little rascal, you've learned to keep people guessing, that's not good! I'll fine you a cup!"
Song Sining said, opening a bottle of beer and handing it to Wang Yi.
"Alright, aren't you going to join me?"
Wang Yi asked with a smile.
"No, I still need to review resumes tonight. We just posted an opening for a market development position this afternoon, and people are already submitting resumes! I estimate most of them are from Hallyu Tribe."
Song Sining smiled:
"Because of the espionage incident, their reputation was ruined. Now Hallyu Tribe has almost completely collapsed in the province, agents have stopped cooperating, and employees are all jobless. As soon as we recruit, they naturally all rush over!"
Wang Yi nodded:
"This way we can recruit a batch of experienced employees, but be sure to screen carefully and select the best."
"Mmm!"
Indeed, after dinner, Song Sining tidied up the table and began working again.
As a professional manager, she works overtime every day.
Wang Yi wasn't idle either, continuing to work on "Plants vs. Zombies", no, to be precise, "Defend the Pomelo"!
That's right, Wang Yi directly replaced the radish with a pomelo, a cartoon version of a pomelo!
This would have little impact on the game and could better promote Meiyou!
At that time, the third-party user accounts for "Defend the Pomelo" would be linked and bound with Meiyou accounts, using the game to promote Meiyou, and Meiyou to promote the game!
With both sides working together, one plus one would be greater than two!
This type of puzzle-solving tower defense game appeals to both men and women, and is suitable for all ages.
Especially for girls, it's quite addictive.
More importantly, by promoting it through social software, users can see their friends' rankings, which greatly stimulates their competitive spirit!
The game is free, and players can advance through levels and upgrade step by step.
But if they want to complete levels faster and achieve higher rankings, they'll have to spend money on paid items, character upgrade cards...
They don't need to spend much at once, a few yuan will suffice.
But once there's a first time, there will be a second, a third...
After the game launches, Wang Yi will also create a "Pomelo Leaderboard" on the Meiyou APP, displaying all users' cleared levels on it!
Further stimulating users' gaming enthusiasm!
At the same time, a "Pomelo Coin" system will be introduced in both "Defend the Pomelo" and the Meiyou APP!
One yuan = 100 Pomelo Coins.
Users can top up to get Pomelo Coins, or participate in activities to earn Pomelo Coin rewards.
For example, for every new user successfully recommended and registered for Meiyou or "Defend the Pomelo", 100 Pomelo Coins will be rewarded!
The top one thousand on the monthly Pomelo Leaderboard will also receive Pomelo Coin rewards.
101st-1000th place, reward 100 Pomelo Coins.
51st-100th place, reward 1000 Pomelo Coins.
11th-50th place, reward 5000 Pomelo Coins.
4th-10th place, reward 100,000 Pomelo Coins.
Third place, reward 500,000 Pomelo Coins.
Second place, reward 700,000 Pomelo Coins.
First place, reward 1,000,000 Pomelo Coins.
These Pomelo Coins, similar to Q Coins, can not only be used for in-game consumption but also for redeeming full-discount coupons for clothing in the Meiyou Mall!
Ten thousand Pomelo Coins can be exchanged for a coupon worth 100 off 500!
Discounts can be used directly at checkout!
Wang Yi set up the main framework for "Defend the Pomelo", and the rest would be handed over to the IT department to advance.
After all, only he understood the entire game; if he didn't do the core, it would be difficult for others to get started.
As long as Wang Yi created the framework, it would be much easier for others to follow his plan, each performing their duties and advancing step by step!
In the future, Meiyou e-commerce + apparel industry will be Wang Yi's continuous main business, and this will not change.
"Defend the Pomelo", on the other hand, is a profitable sideline!
This kind of small game has low costs and is easy to produce, but its profitability is by no means ambiguous.
Early the next morning, Song Sining and Yu Xue drove the rented Alphard directly to the airport to pick someone up.
They thought they would have to wait a long time, but unexpectedly, Ye Xiaohe and her entourage arrived just half an hour after they did.
"Hello, Ms. Ye, I am Song Sining, President of Meiyou Technology."
Song Sining smiled and walked forward, extending her hand generously.
As Meiyou continued to grow, with more and more managers, the internal management structure of the company was also adjusted.
Wang Yi is the CEO.
Song Sining, as a professional manager, became the President.
Chen Chuanqing and others are managers of various departments.
"What a beautiful girl!"
Ye Xiaohe was shocked; Song Sining's looks would be considered top-tier even in the entertainment industry!
"Hello, President Song, did Boss Wang not come?"
Ye Xiaohe felt a little disappointed when she saw that Wang Yi was not among the people who came to pick her up.
"The boss has been a bit busy lately, so he asked me to host you."
Song Sining said with a smile, but she couldn't say that Wang Yi hadn't gotten up when she left.
Even as a boss, Wang Yi always slept until he woke up naturally.
With a capable assistant like Song Sining, everything was clearly arranged, so Wang Yi didn't have to worry too much.
If one were tied down by work every day, exhausting oneself with work from dawn till dusk, life would be truly boring.
"I see, then thank you for your hard work, President Song,"
Ye Xiaohe smiled.
"Please, Ms. Ye, let's go to the studio first."
"Okay!"
The group got into the car and headed straight for the studio.
On the way, Xu Cui, sitting in the back, kept staring at Song Sining, sighing repeatedly and muttering:
"Such a beautiful gem, it's a waste of talent not to be a celebrity!"
"Let her be a celebrity? Boss Wang wouldn't allow it!"
Ye Xiaohe chuckled, her expression a bit complex:
"No wonder that guy wasn't very interested in me, it turns out there's an even more beautiful woman hidden in the company! And she's capable too!"
"Indeed, President Song's capabilities are very strong. Someone with such beauty, figure, and ability has unlimited potential for future achievements."
During this period, Song Sining had been the one in contact with them.
Both of them highly recognized Song Sining's abilities.
Upon arriving at the studio, the staff were already well-prepared.
Seeing that the assigned photographer and assistant were both women, Ye Xiaohe couldn't help but feel a greatly increased liking for Song Sining.
What was to be shot today, besides pure desire style dresses, also included pure desire style lingerie and stockings...
Clearly, a female photographer would be more convenient.
On the other side, Gu Ying drove a Porsche, following the navigation, heading east.
However, looking at the increasingly desolate surroundings, Gu Ying felt a little uneasy:
"Could the navigation be wrong?"
"There are corn fields everywhere, we must be out of the city, right?"
"How could a prominent company like Meiyou be in a place like this?"
"But the navigation isn't wrong!"
Many people visiting Meiyou for the first time would have similar questions.
It wasn't until she saw the four large characters "Meiyou Building" on the five-story office building that Gu Ying knew she hadn't come to the wrong place!
After parking the Porsche in front of the Meiyou Building, Gu Ying called Wang Yi:
"Mr. Wang, your purchased Porsche Cayenne has arrived. I've delivered it downstairs to your company; please come receive it."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Wang Yi quickly went downstairs.
It was his first Porsche, and the style was quite good.
Some might find the Cayenne too ostentatious, not as staid as a Volvo or an A6.
But Wang Yi was only eighteen, an age inherently full of youthful vigor!
If he drove a Volvo, it would instead seem a bit old-fashioned in its staidness.
Young people in their twenties and thirties driving a C-Class, 3 Series, 5 Series, or A4 are all fine.
But driving an S-Class or A6, one might easily be mistaken for a chauffeur...
More importantly, while Volvo's safety is good, its depreciation rate is too fast.
A 2011 XC90 started at over a million on the road, not much different from a Porsche.
But a few years later, the new XC90's price dropped to 500,000, earning it the title of "King of Price Drops," and its resale value was even worse; everyone who bought one was distressed.
All things considered, a Porsche was more suitable for eighteen-year-old Wang Yi.
"Thanks for driving it over,"
Wang Yi took the car keys.
"You're too kind, Mr. Wang,"
Gu Ying smiled charmingly, then hesitated,
"Um... Mr. Wang, may I add you on WeChat?"
"Hmm?"
Wang Yi was speechless, understanding her intention.
Gu Ying had Wang Yi's phone number, but still asking to add him on WeChat was actually a test...
If Wang Yi agreed, it would mean he had some interest in Gu Ying, and she could contact him in the future...
If he didn't agree, it would be a rejection, and she shouldn't bother him again!
Sure enough, female Porsche salespeople aren't just there to make money.
When they meet someone they like, they make their move directly.
But unfortunately, beauty, your appetite is too big!
Afraid of being rejected, Gu Ying's face turned red:
"Um... I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to be friends, I..."
If Wang Yi were an ordinary rich second-generation, she would have a good chance.
But with a self-made entrepreneur, it would be difficult, very difficult.
Let alone getting married, it would probably be hard to even have a serious relationship!
She had a very beautiful colleague who found a self-made entrepreneur, but only as a mistress...
"What? Do you want to come work as a receptionist at my company?"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Ah? Receptionist..."
Gu Ying's cheeks flushed slightly, understanding his gentle refusal:
"No, no, I apologize for disturbing you. I... I..."
"It's fine, be careful on the road,"
Wang Yi smiled slightly.
"Okay, thank you."
"Goodbye, Mr. Wang,"
Gu Ying waved, leaving dejectedly.
Wang Yi shook his head, but didn't say:
"Girl, you're still young, you should strive, don't take shortcuts..."
Letting go of the urge to advise, respecting others' destinies.
It's just that everyone will live the life they want.
"Let's go check out the studio!"
Wang Yi started the Cayenne and headed straight for the studio.
After all, she was Meiyou's spokesperson for five years, so Wang Yi should still make an appearance.
By the time Wang Yi arrived, the shooting was in progress.
Seeing Wang Yi arrive, Ye Xiaohe was secretly delighted and became even more serious.
"Boss, you're here,"
Song Sining smiled and came to greet him.
Wang Yi nodded:
"How's the shooting going?"
"A few shots have already been taken, take a look."
Song Sining opened her laptop and showed it to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi looked and frowned slightly:
"Although the shooting is good, and touching up the photos would make them even better, I always feel like something is missing!"
"Missing what?"
Song Sining was full of doubt:
"I think it's quite good."
"No, something is still missing!"
Wang Yi fell into thought:
"Pure desire style, pure desire style!"
"Right, besides pure desire style dresses, there's also pure desire style makeup!"
Pure desire style makeup + pure desire style dress, that's the G.O.A.T.!
"What is pure desire style makeup?"
Song Sining was confused.
"You'll know in a bit,"
Wang Yi said with a smile:
"Stop for a moment, call the makeup artist over to reapply makeup."
Everyone didn't understand this, but Wang Yi was the boss, so what could they do?
They could only stop and wait for Wang Yi's arrangements.
Wang Yi explained the characteristics and style of pure desire style makeup one by one to Fang Yue, Meiyou's contracted makeup artist.
Every time Meiyou launched new products, they had to hire models for promotional photos, so Song Sining simply signed a capable female photographer and a female makeup artist.
In his previous life, Wang Yi had seen pure desire style makeup many times and had some insights.
It took him a full twenty minutes to explain before Fang Yue finally understood:
"Okay, Boss, I'll give it a try!"
"Good."
Then, Fang Yue removed Ye Xiaohe's makeup and reapplied it.
Wang Yi guided her step by step from the side.
An hour later, it was finally completed.
Looking at the new makeup, Ye Xiaohe was overjoyed:
"I can look this good?"
Even Xu Cui couldn't help but give a thumbs-up:
"Boss Wang, you're still amazing! Our professional makeup artists can't achieve such a beautiful look."
"Xiaohe has a good base,"
Wang Yi said with a smile, then frowned:
"This hairstyle also needs to be changed. Bangs swept to the side don't look good. Change it to a center part, revealing the middle of the forehead; it will look more elegant and attractive!"
"This..."
Xu Cui hesitated.
Changing a hairstyle isn't casual; it might involve cutting hair!
Ye Xiaohe, however, was very decisive:
"I'll listen to Boss Wang, change it!"
After another half an hour of effort, Ye Xiaohe's look was completely refreshed.
"Xiaohe, you can actually be this beautiful!"
Xu Cui was shocked.
Ye Xiaohe's original style was still the mainstream style of 2011, a bit dated.
But after Wang Yi's transformation, with an elegant hairstyle + pure desire style makeup + pure desire style dress + pure desire style lingerie, Ye Xiaohe instantly became radiant!
It was simply a metamorphosis.
Ye Xiaohe was extremely excited:
"Thanks to Mr. Wang, my beauty has been completely unleashed!"
"It's because you have a good base yourself."
The shooting continued, and this time, Ye Xiaohe was even more cooperative.
She cooperated exactly as Wang Yi and the photographer requested.
They shot until noon before finally taking a break.
Wang Yi saw that there were no problems, had a working lunch with everyone, and returned directly to the company.
Song Sining was supervising here; the company needed someone to be in charge.
Seeing Wang Yi return, the receptionist Yang Yiling came to greet him:
"Boss, a girl is looking for you. She says she wants to be our franchisee and has been waiting all morning!"
"Waited all morning? She certainly has some perseverance. Have her go to the small meeting room on the second floor!"
"Okay, Boss."
Wang Yi went to the second floor and soon met the girl.
"Hello, Boss Wang, I'm Liu Zhixuan."
Liu Zhixuan smiled, finally having waited for the big boss.
A Meiyou agent, she was determined to be one.
"Liu Zhixuan... such a familiar name,"
Wang Yi felt it sounded familiar.
Liu Zhixuan was not surprised:
"My mother is Zhang Chuanfang!"
The daughter of Zhang Chuanfang, Hallyu Tribe's second largest shareholder!
No wonder it sounded familiar!
Previously, Wang Yi had asked Zhao Xuan to investigate Hu Zixuan's information, and naturally wouldn't overlook his partner, Zhang Chuanfang.
"Your mother is a major shareholder of Hallyu Tribe, and you want to be a Meiyou agent?"
Wang Yi was a little surprised.
"That's right!"
Liu Zhixuan made no attempt to conceal it:
"In my opinion, Hallyu Tribe is doomed to fail and is no match for Meiyou at all. As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses its tree to nest in. I don't need to follow Hallyu Tribe down a dark path; Meiyou has a brighter future!"
Wang Yi smiled.
How could he not know Zhang Chuanfang's calculations?
This was hedging her bets, leaving a backup plan for her daughter!
She was a smart woman, but not overly so!
Seeing that Wang Yi hadn't agreed, Liu Zhixuan directly took out five property deeds:
"Boss Wang, I'm not just talking; I've come with capital. I own four shops, distributed across four districts in Gusu City, and a warehouse! As long as you let me join as a Meiyou exclusive store franchisee, I plan to invest 2 million to operate it!"
Looking at her sincere demeanor, Wang Yi thought for a moment:
"Your capital is certainly enough to open four Meiyou exclusive stores. But your background is a bit complicated."
"Are you worried about my mother?"
Liu Zhixuan's delicate brows furrowed slightly:
"Please rest assured, my mother is my mother, and I am me; we are unrelated. As a Meiyou franchisee, I will firmly support Meiyou, uphold Meiyou, even if it means sacrificing family loyalty for a greater cause!"
Wang Yi smiled.
Unrelated?
No one would believe that!
However, Zhang Chuanfang, as Hu Zixuan's partner and the second largest shareholder of Hallyu Tribe, was not weak in strength!
If she were also pulled over, Hu Zixuan would be like having an arm severed, completely crippled!
However, if Zhang Chuanfang wanted to hedge her bets and play both sides, that would be wishful thinking.
