Chapter 146: 146 The Boss’s Vision is Just Different

Yang Tiancheng shook his head, “I don’t know. The hope is slim, mainly because the hot pot project failed. Otherwise, there would be no problem. Now everyone in the industry knows about me; I’ve become the laughingstock. Unless a friend with a good relationship opens a catering company, it’s basically not possible, but I don’t have such friends. If I did, I wouldn’t need to set my sights on Zhao Yulu.”

Yang Tiancheng said, “Dad, I still hope you can find a high-level position and arrange a job for me. Otherwise, I can only be an ordinary employee, and I don’t want to be a low-level ordinary employee.”

“You…” Yang Tiancheng couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling utterly helpless with his son, “I’ll try my best to look for one.”

Yang Jingsheng’s eyes flickered, “Dad, to cling to Chen Guanglei, we don’t necessarily have to go through Zhao Yulu, right? We can contact him directly.”

Yang Tiancheng’s eyes brightened slightly, “That’s true, but I don’t know if the other party will pay attention to us.”

Yang Jingsheng said, “How can you know without trying? Maybe they just need people like you and me.”

Yang Tiancheng nodded, “That’s true. I’ll find a time to contact him and see what he says.”

…

That day.

Xu Yang arrived at Fengcai Guild.

Xiao Dongsheng reported a problem to him.

“President Xu, many guilds have recently collaborated with celebrities to do live stream selling, and I see the sales are very good, which is affecting our sales. Do you think we should also invite some celebrities?” Xiao Dongsheng said.

“I’ve noticed this issue, but I’m not planning to hire celebrities,” Xu Yang said.

“Why?” inquired Xiao Dongsheng.

To him, it seemed like a profitable venture, so why not do it?

Due to other guilds hiring celebrities for live stream selling recently, many viewers had been drawn away.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The live stream sales of the guild’s own streamers had decreased.

He thought that inviting celebrities for live stream selling would be promising.

He discussed this with Xu Yang mainly to get his approval; as long as Xu Yang gave the green light, he would take action immediately.

He had already decided on which film and TV companies to collaborate with and which celebrities to invite.

He would push this forward with the utmost speed.

“There are three reasons. First, inviting celebrities is very costly; they and their agencies take a significant cut. Although the sales are large, the profit we can earn is not as high as imagined.”

“Second, inviting celebrities impacts our streamers, who are the company’s greatest asset. I don’t want to upset our streamers for that bit of money, unless it also benefits them, only then will I consider it.”

“Obviously, just plainly inviting celebrities doesn’t benefit our streamers. If we have them collaborate with celebrities and then share profits, it wouldn’t be as profitable as the streamers selling by themselves.”

“Third, currently many guilds invite celebrities for live stream selling, and the quality of many products is quite poor. By promoting miscellaneous brands, those guilds can maximize earnings, but this creates a hidden risk, which is unfavorable for the long-term development of our company. No matter who sells it in our company, the quality must be assured.”

“For these three reasons, I won’t hire celebrities for live stream selling. If you can solve these three issues, then it’s no problem, I would agree to negotiate with film and TV companies to hire celebrities for live stream selling.”

Xu Yang had his own observations and thoughts about the market.

These three points were the results of his observations and considerations.

“President Xu, you make a lot of sense. It was shortsighted of me; I can’t resolve these issues. Let’s continue to develop along our current path,” said Xiao Dongsheng.

“Old Xiao, everyone wants to make money, but there’s some money I think we shouldn’t earn, like selling those unbranded, uncertified products.”

“This is also why I’ve emphasized multiple times that the products our guild’s streamers promote must be of solid quality.”

“This is not only being responsible to our viewers but also to our streamers and the future development of the company.”

“I didn’t acquire Fengcai Guild just for fun, nor just to make some money and leave. I hope to develop the company for the long term.”

“In other words, even if the short video industry declines in the future, I still hope that through the efforts of everyone in our company, we can pivot and carve out a new path, understand?”

Xu Yang felt it necessary to share his future plans for Fengcai Guild with Xiao Dongsheng.

“Mr. Xu, I’ve learned a lot from your talk. Rest assured, I know what to do now, and I have a clearer vision for the company’s future development,” Xiao Dongsheng said.

The boss is indeed the boss, his vision is simply different.

I was only thinking of immediate benefits, while the boss was thinking about future development.

This is what vision means.

Perhaps this is why I couldn’t develop Fengcai Guild, but the boss acquired and grew it successfully.

Following such a boss is indeed my good fortune.

After talking for a while longer, Xu Yang left.

He drove his Rolls-Royce Cullinan to pick up his wife from work.

They were going to have dinner at his father-in-law Zhao Hai’s place.

From what his wife said, it seemed her father, Zhao Hai, had something to discuss.

At 5:30 pm, he picked up Zhao Yuxin and headed straight to her father’s house.

In the car.

Xu Yang asked, “How’s work been recently?”

Zhao Yuxin replied, “Pretty good.”

Xu Yang said, “Why don’t you join Yang Xin Investment to take care of the finances, managing my money.”

He had mentioned this before, and now he brought it up again.

Zhao Yuxin shook her head, “I’d rather not. I think my job at the bank is very good, I really enjoy it. You should hire someone else for the company’s finances.”

Xu Yang said helplessly, “Alright, as long as you’re happy.”

Zhao Yuxin thought for a moment and said, “Husband, I think things are good as they are now. You have your business, and I have my job. I also fear that if I joined the company, our work philosophies might clash and affect our relationship.”

Xu Yang smiled, “Actually, you don’t need to worry about that. I’ll support whatever you do.”

Zhao Yuxin shook her head, “That’s not what I want to see. You have your ideas, and I have mine. If our ideas don’t match, conflict is inevitable. Even if you say you support me, you might still feel uncomfortable about it. I think it’s better the way it is now. I work at the bank, and you’re busy with your affairs. If there’s any event, you take me along, and I’ll get to know your friends too. This is better for our marital relationship. Don’t bring up this topic again in the future.”

Xu Yang said helplessly, “Okay, I won’t bring it up again unless you raise it yourself.”

Then he added, “You mentioned dad has something to discuss, but he didn’t say what it was. What do you think it could be about?”

Zhao Yuxin shook her head, “I can’t guess. Dad was all mysterious when he called last night.”

As they talked, they arrived at Zhao Hai’s house.

Zhao Yuxin had the keys, so they went straight in, with her leading Xu Yang inside.

As soon as they entered, they were greeted with a delectable aroma.

“Wow, it smells so good, like braised fish, and somehow it smells even better than when dad makes it.”

“Dad, we’re here!”

Calling out, they set down their things and headed to the kitchen door.

Immediately, they were stunned.
