Chapter 119: Earn money while lying down, big gifts
Jiang Mian suppressed her laughter and grabbed Cheng Ye's ear, "What are you thinking about? Where did my ex-boyfriend come from?"
"What about you? Do you have an ex-girlfriend?"
Cheng Ye was driving, looking forward, when his ear was suddenly grabbed by Jiang Mian playfully. Although it hurt a little, Cheng Ye's empty mood was suddenly filled by Jiang Mian when he heard her say that she had no ex-boyfriend, "No. You are my first love."
Jiang Mian withdrew her little hand and wanted to hug Cheng Ye, but she considered that he was still driving and needed to be careful.
I can only put this thought aside for the time being.
They arrived at the company.
Assistant Chi Mu was already waiting at the company entrance.
The company currently has about 300 people, mainly in operations, finance, human resources, photography team, etc.
As soon as Chi Mu saw Cheng Ye appear, he immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Boss, as of today, we have two signed artists. One is Huo Yunyun, who has a talent for singing. We have assigned her an agent, Li Lin."
"The other is Wen Yan, who will develop into a good-looking anchor in the future. The operations staff will cooperate with him on live broadcast matters."
Cheng Ye took Jiang Mian into the company, and Chi Mu followed quickly.
"How's the progress so far?"
Chi Mu quickly replied: "Huo Yunyun usually uses the music equipment purchased by the company to practice singing in the karaoke room. Li Lin is looking for singing-related competitions for her. It has not yet generated any income for the company."
"Wen Yan has just adapted to live streaming and now has more than 1000 followers on the Shark platform."
After understanding the situation, Cheng Ye said nonchalantly, "Just keep working as normal as possible."
"Ok."
Chi Mu thought that the company was well-equipped with other staff, but the number of artists was relatively small, only two, and these two people were still in the stage where the company invested money and did not bring any returns.
Whether it will be possible to recover the investment and generate profits in the future is still unknown.
"Boss, should we recruit some new talents with potential? For example, those with good looks or talents. We are an entertainment company, but we have too few artists."
Cheng Ye said calmly, "It's better to have nothing than to have something bad. Don't worry."
He has memories of his past life, so naturally he wants to sign contracts with those internet celebrities or stars who were very popular in their past life.
There are many people in China who are good-looking or talented.
But the people who really become popular are only a minority after all.
However, he would not rely solely on the advantages of his past life memories.
Thinking of this, Cheng Ye said, "The company will recruit at most one new person with potential every month. You will be responsible for that."
Chi Mu was surprised. "Only one person per month? Boss, how do you recruit?"
"Just select the best person interviewed that month. Minimize training costs and maximize profits. Just select based on profit."
"If we can't find a suitable person that month, then we won't hire anyone. We can hire at most one person, or we can not hire anyone at all."
Cheng Ye gave an example, "If two people are interviewed, one has good acting skills, and the other has aura, which means that acting skills need to be cultivated. Which one would you choose?"
Chi Mu was faced with a difficult decision. "Maybe this person with spiritual energy can bring more benefits to the company after training? Boss, it's so difficult to choose."
Cheng Ye frowned, "Choose those with good acting skills. Don't worry about whether to train them or not. I just said, select based on benefits."
Chi Mu understood a little, "Okay, Boss. What if the two people are good at different fields? One is singing, and the other is dancing."
"It's the same. You still have to look at the interests first. You should choose the one that can bring more net profit to the company in the short term. To put it bluntly, you should choose the one who is the best at the time."
"After all, you are an outsider and you don't have a thorough understanding of singing and dancing, so you just need to focus on the money."
Chi Mu seemed to understand, is it so simple and crude? !
"Boss, why do you train Huo Yunyun and Wen Yan? It will take a long time for them to be trained. It doesn't match what you said about focusing on money."
Cheng Ye said calmly, "I have to train the artists I recruited personally. They will definitely generate considerable profits for the company in the future."
Chi Mu didn't quite understand, but he believed in his boss's vision.
The boss is only 18 years old and still in high school, but he already has 1 million fans online. His level of amazingness is beyond words.
If the boss wasn't so well-known, he wouldn't have been able to recruit enough satisfied employees in such a short period of time.
Which operations staff does not have several years of rich work experience in large companies?
There is also the photography team Guangyue Studio. When the country's largest entertainment company, Xingyao, needed Guangyue to take photos or videos for its artists, they could only charge on a per-view basis, which was simply impossible, and thus successfully brought Guangyue Studio under their wing.
Because of Cheng Ye's popularity, Guangyue Studio took the initiative to recommend itself, which greatly reduced the difficulty of Chi Mu's recruitment work.
Most of the other outstanding employees came because Cheng Ye is the company's boss, and some of them are even fans of Cheng Ye.
Chi Mu brought them to the office.
The interior decoration is low-key and luxurious, and it was all arranged according to Cheng Ye's requirements.
"Boss, do you think there is anything else that needs to be improved in the office?" Chi Mu asked carefully.
Cheng Ye looked around and said, "No need. You can go out first. I will call you if there is anything."
"Okay." Chi Mu respectfully left the office.
In addition to the basic desk, sofa, and coffee table, there are also bright floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the bustling scenery of the capital.
This building is located in the center of Beijing, with a superior geographical location. It has 112 floors above ground and 10 floors underground, with a total construction area of 50.9 square meters.
Cheng Ye rented the twelfth and thirteenth floors.
He planned to buy the entire building as the company's address when he had enough funds in the future.
But that’s another story. If you want to buy the entire building, you can’t do it without tens of billions. After all, the cost of building this building is already 210 billion.
He currently rents two floors, which is basically sufficient for the current size of his company.
Except for the twelfth and thirteenth floors, the rest of the floors house other companies of varying sizes.
The reason why Cheng Ye considered this place, besides its superior geographical location, was another very important reason, that there were many companies here, which would make it convenient for him to expand his network.
He checked the time, it was exactly five o'clock. He usually trained in fighting at night, starting at half past six.
Cheng Ye called his coach and decided not to go over tonight, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to go back and forth.
He has already arrived at the company and is doing a live broadcast in the evening. Now is the perfect time for him to have dinner with Jiang Mian.
Cheng Ye walked over, lowered his eyes, and looked at the small Jiang Mian sitting on the sofa.
Jiang Mian is well-behaved and has a pretty fair face.
When she sat there, she was peaceful and beautiful.
Cheng Ye raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly: "I'm not going to the fighting club tonight. What do you want to eat for dinner?"
Jiang Mian shook his head, "I'm not very hungry, so I won't have dinner."
Cheng Ye was just about to say that skipping dinner was bad for the body, but he saw a little creature reaching out its hand and tugging at the corner of his clothes.
The little guy stared at his upper body with burning eyes, "Cheng Ye, let me check if your eight-pack abs have shrunk."
Cheng Ye tapped Jiang Mian's head with his finger, "Little pervert."
He did not stop her and let Jiang Mian lift up his clothes.
Jiang Mian smiled sweetly, and stroked Cheng Ye's abdomen with her fair little hands.
His muscles are smooth and feel great to the touch.
Feeling the electric-like tingling in his abdomen, Cheng Ye was slightly distracted.
The warmth in the little girl's palms caused ripples in Cheng Ye's heart.
The wall clock in the room made a soft ticking sound.
Cheng Ye didn't just hear the soft ticking of the wall clock.
Oh no, there’s also the sound of his heart beating.
Cheng Ye pretended to be deep, "How long do you plan to touch it?"
Jiang Mian put down Cheng Ye's clothes and took back his two small hands with a smile, "It feels so good to touch."
Cheng Ye clicked his tongue and his eyes suddenly fell on Jiang Mian's upper body.
He looked unnatural as he gently brushed across her bulge.
Cheng Ye quickly looked away.
Jiang Mian raised his head, took in Cheng Ye's expression, and then smiled sweetly, "Big pervert."
Cheng Ye coughed lightly, and he took a quick glance but didn't do anything.
No taking off and no touching.
"You really don't plan to have dinner? Why don't you just eat something?" Cheng Ye changed the subject. "If you don't want to go out and walk, you can just order takeout and have it delivered to the office."
Jiang Mian really wasn't hungry, "I don't want to eat anymore."
Cheng Ye rubbed Jiang Mian's head and said, "Okay. I'll prepare some snacks in the office. If you're hungry, you can eat anytime."
He sent a message to his assistant, and soon the coffee table was filled with snacks of various flavors.
Jiang Mian's eyes lit up, he tore open the snacks and started eating.
Cheng Ye smiled helplessly. It seemed that not being hungry and wanting to eat snacks were not contradictory.
He didn't want to go out, so he ordered a takeaway rice bowl.
After dinner, Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian strolled around every floor of the building casually.
Nine p.m.
Live broadcast room.
Cheng Ye planned that the first three nights would be live lectures, singing competitions, and live sales.
Three nights is enough to complete one round, and there are six live broadcasts per week, which means two rounds. There is no live broadcast on Sundays. Each live broadcast lasts 0.5 hours to 1 hour.
Cheng Ye will go through the procedures of the three types of live broadcasts tonight.
The live lecture topic is the simplest.
He sat in front of the computer, logged into his Shark platform account, and then opened the live broadcast room.
The staff outside the computer cameras held their breath, trying to suppress their inner excitement.
As soon as they entered the live broadcast room, netizens rushed in crazily. At first, there were a few thousand people, but in the blink of an eye, the number of people online soared to 10,000, 20,000, 30,000...
Before Cheng Ye connected with netizens and started live broadcasting to answer questions, many fans had already enthusiastically sent various gifts.
Special effects of different gifts appeared on the live broadcast screen, making the staff drool with envy.
The staff saw many beautiful special effects of large gifts, and they couldn't help but be stunned by the enthusiasm of the fans.
Is this the joy of making money while lying down?
Their own boss is so famous! !
There are so many loyal fans who are willing to give big gifts to the boss! !
Cheng Ye connected with an undergraduate student majoring in mathematics.
The other party was obviously well prepared, and seemed to want to verify Cheng Ye's mathematical ability to see if he was as good as netizens said. At the beginning, he asked Cheng Ye some particularly tricky advanced mathematics questions.
The undergraduates thought that Cheng Ye would get stuck for a while, but unexpectedly, Cheng Ye easily gave the answer, wrote down the steps to solve the problem on an A4 paper, and then displayed it in front of the live broadcast screen so that the majority of netizens could see it clearly.
[Ahhhhhhh! Now you should be convinced! My Yebao deserves the title of academic genius! ]
[It's so funny, how come there are still people questioning the value of first place in the global mathematics competition finals? That's the difficulty of the entrance exam for mathematics doctoral students! ]
【Cheng Ye is not only good at math, he also ranked first in the city in the mock exam. Chinese, English, and science are all subjects he is good at.】
The undergraduate student was beaten to a pulp by Cheng Ye and hung up the live broadcast in anger.
After Cheng Ye greeted the netizens, he ended the live broadcast.
After exiting the live broadcast room, the staff members squeezed each other's heads, trying to see the total revenue of these gifts.
Cheng Ye live-streamed for twenty minutes this time. After deducting the platform's 10% commission, the total amount of gifts and rewards he received added up to 116.75 million.
The staff were drooling with envy. Huo Yunyun and Wen Yan were also standing in the live broadcast room and discovered that Cheng Ye had actually withdrawn a million in profits.
Their eyes widened in disbelief.
Holy shit, is traffic so valuable?!
In just 20 minutes, I earned more money than an average person could ever earn in their entire working life! !
For the first time, they truly experienced the unevenness of the world.
No wonder so many people are eager to become internet celebrities or stars.
Internet celebrities make so much fucking money.
The way everyone looked at Cheng Ye gradually changed into the way they looked at a god.
It is said that choice is more important than hard work!
They will work hard following Boss Cheng!
Maybe it will be able to take off someday!!
Cheng Ye is going to try the second type of live broadcast content - singing PK.
Assistant Chi Mu hurried over and asked, "Boss, who do you want to sing with you?"
Cheng Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Huo Yunyun."
The PK result is not important to Cheng Ye. The key is to support the employees or artists of his own company.
Assistant Chi Mu turned around, looked at Huo Yunyun who was standing in a daze at the door, and shouted, "Ms. Huo, please come with me and sit down in front of the computer in the live broadcast room next door."
Huo Yunyun followed Chi Mu in a daze and came to another live broadcast room.
In fact, Cheng Ye's live broadcast room has more than one desktop and computer. As for why he went to another live broadcast room, it was to avoid crosstalk when the two of them were PKing.
Although the two live broadcast rooms are adjacent to each other, their sound insulation is excellent.
Chi Mu randomly found a computer and turned it on.
Huo Yunyun sat in front of the brand new computer in a daze.
After a while, she finally came to her senses, took a deep breath, and told herself not to be nervous.
The company registered a special Shark platform account for her.
Although the nickname and profile of this account are one’s own information, the person who actually manages it is the company’s operations.
All the income she earned from this account was managed by the company, and she could not directly handle the income.
The company's operations and finances would calculate her total revenue for the month, then deduct the cost invested in her, and the final net profit would be split equally between the company and herself, that is, 50-50.
As soon as Huo Yunyun logged into her Shark platform account, Cheng Ye sent her a PK request.
She clicked to agree, and the live broadcast screen was instantly split into two.
Huo Yunyun had only practiced singing in the karaoke room before. Although she had a live broadcast account, she had never officially broadcast live.
Seeing that the number of people online had reached a terrifying number of over 90, Huo Yunyun became even more nervous.
So many people.
Next to Huo Yunyun, her agent Li Lin whispered, "There are so many netizens watching, don't just stare blankly, say hello to everyone first!"
"Boss Cheng is using his traffic influence to bring you some popularity. You should seize the opportunity! Don't miss this great opportunity!!"
