Chapter 140 It kills you
When Lin Wanyu heard Gao Yuan say that the birthday gift was not a watch, Lin Wanyu smiled slightly.
She felt valued.
The watch is indeed very good, but if this is a birthday gift, she is not so happy.
After Gao Yuan finished eating, Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing took the initiative to go to the kitchen to clean up. This made Gao Yuan a little uneasy. These two people were a bit abnormal!
However, Gao Yuan didn't refuse. He wanted to enjoy it first, and it was not impossible to be a big boss for once.
After the two finished cleaning up the kitchen, the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted again.
This time it was Lin Wanyu's turn to report to Gao Yuan what she had gained in the past few days.
In the past few days, she had not only gone to the boutique, but also visited some more interesting shops.
She also gained something from the business style of these stores.
When she told all this to Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan kept listening without speaking.
No matter the boutiques she inspected, or the book bars or Internet celebrity restaurants she visited, they were not in line with Gao Yuan's ideas.
But Gao Yuan still gave Lin Wanyu a positive attitude because she was already working hard.
Regardless of the outcome, at least her attitude was very good.
"awesome!"
"But have you ever thought about the purpose of starting your business?"
Gao Yuan asked a core question, which made both Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing think deeply.
"I want to keep up with you."
Before Lin Wanyu could make up her mind, Li Mengqing simply stated her thoughts.
This idea surprised Gao Yuan.
He wondered if this was the reason why Li Mengqing resigned.
Has he made too much progress recently and done things that put pressure on the two of them?
"I want to become better, and then I also want to find something to do for myself. I can't stay at home all the time."
Gao Yuan thought about Li Mengqing's words, and Lin Wanyu also expressed his thoughts.
After hearing Lin Wanyu's thoughts, Gao Yuan completely understood that his recent business venture had put some pressure on the two of them, making them lose some sense of security.
But he didn't point this out. Part of the sense of security is given by his partner, and part of it is given by himself.
Therefore, the two people's idea of starting a business was right, and Gao Yuan also supported it.
Gao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I think it's a good idea for you guys to have your own business, and I definitely support it."
"But I hope you can think longer term."
Gao Yuan's words were actually a disguised denial of Lin Wanyu's previous investigation.
Those can only be regarded as businesses, but they are far from being called careers.
It's so difficult to make a career out of doing those things.
"Brother, what do you think we should do?"
This sentence also bothered Gao Yuan.
For a while, he really couldn't think of any good industry suitable for two people.
Looking at Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing's expectant eyes, Gao Yuan suddenly thought of what Sun Qiang said today.
"Have you ever considered doing film and television?"
"Movies and TV?"
Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing both looked at Gao Yuan in surprise.
Is it really appropriate for the two of them to work in film and television?
"Both of us don't understand!"
"And there is a lot of money involved in making movies, which we don't have right now."
Lin Wanyu questioned Gao Yuan's idea.
"Stupid!"
Gao Yuan reached out and knocked Lin Wanyu on the head.
"Why am I stupid!"
Lin Wanyu pouted and looked at Gao Yuan with a somewhat aggrieved face.
Doesn’t it cost a lot of money to make a movie?
And it’s too troublesome to publish something.
"As for film and television, it doesn't just include movies."
"There are also some online dramas or short plays adapted from novels. Even short videos can be regarded as film and television."
Gao Yuan began to tell the two people his thoughts bit by bit.
His idea is very simple, that is, let the two of them set up a film and television company to make short videos, online dramas or short plays.
This initial investment does not need to be large. As long as you choose a good direction, you can still make some money.
Moreover, his company is in urgent need of some short video content. Instead of leaving it to an outside company, it would be better for the two of them to set up a film and television company and let them do it.
If you can do it, it will be better. If you can't do it, just treat it as a subsidiary of Yuanfang and serve Yuanfang very well.
When Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing understood Gao Yuan's thoughts, their eyes lit up.
The main reason why the two of them want to start a business is because of Gao Yuan. If they can help Gao Yuan by doing this, they will be very happy.
The three of them chatted for a while about opening a film and television company. Gao Yuan assigned the two of them a task, which was to investigate what it takes to open an ordinary film and television company.
In Gao Yuan's view, this is not difficult.
Every year, there are so many art majors in China trying to get ahead, and there are even more group performers in Hengdian.
There are still some golden nuggets among these people, and if you can dig out a few, you can make money.
Just like short dramas and online dramas, as long as they are well shot, many people will watch them.
If it develops, then start making TV series or movies. The upper limit is also very high, and it can be treated as a career.
The novels Gao Yuan read before, such as "Swordsman in the Snow" and "Da Feng's Watchman", have all been adapted into TV series.
And the three-dimensional animations adapted from some novels are also quite good.
This is actually not very difficult.
The three of them chatted happily until past ten o'clock, when Lin Wanyu began to urge Gao Yuan to take a shower.
When the three of them were lying on the bed, Lin Wanyu lay down and whispered in Gao Yuan's ear: "Brother, tomorrow is Christmas."
"What happened to Christmas?"
When Gao Yuan was young, he was quite enthusiastic about these festivals, but now he has no interest at all.
“There’s a surprise!”
Lin Wanyu said something and hugged Gao Yuan to sleep.
Neither she nor Li Mengqing acted like monsters tonight, maybe because Gao Yuan was too tired after driving back, or because they were conserving energy for tomorrow!
the next day.
The three of them went downstairs to exercise early in the morning. This exercise was still not a good experience.
Maybe because Gao Yuan is more famous, more people look at him during fitness than before, especially some female coaches, who stare directly at him.
He didn't care at all about Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing next to him.
After breakfast, Gao Yuan went downstairs to work. He didn't have to see Li Mengqing off today.
Li Mengqing has completely resigned and has become unemployed like Lin Wanyu.
Arriving at the underground garage, he had just walked to the car when he noticed that the lights of a GL8 parked next to it were on.
Then the rear door of the GL8 opened, revealing Xiao Xiao sitting in the back seat.
Seeing Xiao Xiao sitting in the car and looking at him with a smile, Gao Yuan stepped in and sat on it.
Xiao Xiao's car was obviously modified. The front row and the back were directly separated, and she was not worried that the driver would see what was going on behind.
As soon as Gao Yuan sat in, the car door slowly closed.
As the car door closed, Gao Yuan immediately put his arms around Xiao Xiao's neck, lowered his head and kissed her.
After a long time, Xiao Xiao slapped Gao Yuan reproachfully several times, took out a wet wipe and wiped away the lipstick mark on Gao Yuan's mouth.
"I'll kill you!"
Gao Yuan chuckled and said to Xiao Xiao: "Didn't you open the car door to ask me to come up?"
"I asked you to come up, but I didn't ask you to do this!"
Xiao Xiao gave Gao Yuan a roll of his eyes.
How long had the two been separated? Gao Yuan was still so hungry.
"How do you spend Christmas?"
Gao Yuan looked at Xiao Xiao rolling his eyes so charmingly, and now he wanted to drag her upstairs.
"I'm going back to Shanghai!"
"Xiao Yu is still waiting for me at home today!"
Then why did you come back with me yesterday? You weren’t tired from running back and forth!
"There's something going on here. I'll finish it before I go back."
This sentence reminded Gao Yuan again of Xiao Xiao's huge assets, and it was not a big deal to have business in Hangzhou.
"Okay, I was thinking of you being alone today and spending time with you."
What Gao Yuan said was a bit hypocritical.
He only saw that Xiao Xiao was going back to the Demon City, so he dared to say it.
Xiao Xiao glanced at him, but did not expose him, and said deliberately: "How about I take Xiaoyu over?"
Gao Yuan suddenly couldn't help scolding himself for being too talkative. He was so arrogant! Why do you have to say this?
"The children still need to go to school, so don't bother them."
Xiao Xiao smiled and was too lazy to argue so much with Gao Yuan.
The two chatted for a while, Gao Yuan got out of the car, and Xiao Xiao left first.
Gao Yuan came to the company, showed his face, told Sun Qiang that he would prepare a Christmas benefit for everyone, and then came to the Lin Group.
New Year's Day is only 5 days away, and I don't know if Lin Group can produce a complete set of finished skin care products before New Year's Day.
In Lin Hongnian's office.
Seeing Gao Yuan's arrival, Lin Hongnian also guessed his purpose.
Gao Yuan ordered another batch of goods yesterday, and he knew about this in the evening.
After making a phone call and having someone send the samples, Lin Hongnian also sat down and chatted with Gao Yuan.
"Xiaoyuan, how's your brand-making going?"
Gao Yuan saw that Lin Hongnian asked about this matter without asking anything else, and he immediately understood that Old Lin had been paying attention to GY.
He must have become jealous after seeing GY's recent sales.
"It's okay. It seems very likely to be done at the moment."
Gao Yuan did not hide anything. This matter is transparent, and Douyin should also publicize this cooperation as a dazzling case.
There was no need for him to hide it from Lin Hongnian.
"Then do you think the Lin Group can do something about it?"
Lin Hongnian asked the question he wanted to ask most.
Gao Yuan did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment and said: "It can be done, but it cannot copy GY's model."
"Oh why?"
This problem is actually not difficult to understand. The key reason why GY went out was that Gao Yuan became famous first, and it was the driving force behind it.
Music is a magical thing that can touch people's hearts at a certain moment, so many people will subconsciously develop initial trust in GY.
Here we have to talk about trust.
Why domestic skin care products have always been half-dead is not because Chinese people are reluctant to spend money on marketing, nor is it because domestic products are not strong enough.
But the Chinese people don’t trust these domestic skin care products enough.
On the one hand, the marketing of international big brands has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the quality is indeed better than that of domestic products.
On the other hand, there is the issue of trust. Domestic products always start to mess up after making some achievements. Either there is a problem here, or there is a problem somewhere.
The initial bit of trust was simply lost.
This matter cannot be blamed on the skin care industry. The same is true for other industries. From a house to an eyebrow pencil, consumers are afraid of suffering.
So I would rather spend more money and buy something from abroad.
Just like the infant milk powder in previous years, domestic manufacturers dare to add those things into it, which is challenging the bottom line of consumers!
But even this has not scared some people, and they are still testing the patience of consumers crazily.
The results of it?
Naturally, consumers will no longer play with you. Even if they save some money elsewhere, they will still buy foreign brands.
And why Gaoyuan's skin care products are successful is because they are of good quality!
All consumers who believe in him as the founder have no regrets after purchasing.
Therefore, repurchases have been happening recently, and the proportion of repurchases is still increasing.
This is the path GY is taking now.
However, if the Lin Group wants to follow this path, it must have the right time, location, and people. It has the right location, people, and people, but it lacks the right time.
Relying on Douyin alone to provide strong traffic support is still a bit lacking.
Unless the Lin Group wants to spend money, and a lot of money, it can hope to reach the level where GY is now.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan said directly: "Uncle Lin, I don't recommend that the Lin Group does this."
"What do you think."
Lin Hongnian was not unhappy because of Gao Yuan's denial. Instead, he smiled and asked his opinion.
This is a mature businessman who never makes blind decisions based on his own thinking.
Gao Yuan directly expressed his opinion, and Lin Hongnian nodded.
But now he sees that Gao Yuan's business is so booming, while his side is far behind, so envy is inevitable.
"Do you have any good ideas from the Lin Group?"
After Lin Hongnian said this, Gao Yuan picked up the tea cup.
Seeing this, Lin Hongnian smiled angrily.
"You! The Lin Group belongs to you too."
Gao Yuan put down the teacup and said, "Uncle Lin, I've been talking for so long and I still can't drink tea!"
"Tell me what you want."
Lin Hongnian didn't believe what Gao Yuan said and said directly.
"Hey, I'm so sorry."
Gao Yuan was quite thick-skinned at the moment, and before Lin Hongnian could speak again, he said what he wanted in his heart.
"Give me 10,000 sets of complete skin care products."
You know, Gao Yuan said to give, not to order.
10,000 sets of skin care products must be worth at least 1 million.
In other words, Gao Yuan's advice to the Lin Group is worth 1 million.
However, Lin Hongnian did not hesitate and agreed without hesitation.
Gao Yuan didn't expect Old Lin to be so generous. He thought Old Lin would negotiate the price.
"Accident?"
Lin Hongnian felt that he had taken the initiative again and could control the situation high again.
"Based on what you called father-in-law last time, it's more than that!"
"The layout is bigger."
Gao Yuan was taught a lesson by Lin Hongnian.
But he was also happy about it, and even wanted Lin Hongnian to teach him a few more lessons.
"First, Lin Group mainly focuses on production."
"Second, wait for GY to become popular all over the country."
Gao Yuan's advice to the Lin Group consisted of these two simple sentences.
Lin Hongnian did not rush to comment after hearing this, but fell into deep thought.
Gao Yuan did not urge him and lit a cigarette on his own. He believed that Lin Hongnian could figure it out with his wisdom.
after awhile.
Lin Hongnian's eyes changed when he looked at Gao Yuan.
He finally understood Gao Yuan's method of playing, but as a result, the prices of his products would have to be adjusted.
And it will have a selling price that cannot be higher than GY.
"Uncle Lin, it's only a matter of time before your brand goes bankrupt."
"You've collaborated with so many people, it's already worth the price."
Gao Yuan said nothing again. Lin Hongnian had to figure this out himself.
Gao Yuan's purpose is also very simple. If GY is successfully built, as the manufacturer of GY, all products of Lin Group will usher in a cycle of rapid growth.
Among them, the cycle of surge in products with the same quality as GY will be longer.
In the future, Gao Yuan's focus will definitely be on Chinese-style facial masks, so the sales of Lin's Group will be better.
The two chatted, and the secretary delivered the entire series of products.
Gao Yuan tried everything. He didn't feel it clearly, but he believed in the system.
After confirming the delivery time of 10,000 sets of skin care products with Lin Hongnian again, Gao Yuan also left the Lin Group and returned to the office.
Let the three stores prepare for the launch of new products. It is expected that Chinese style samples will be in place in the next two days.
They have to make preparations.
Of these 10,000 sets of products, he only planned to keep 100 sets, which he planned to give away at Lao Xue's New Year's Eve concert.
He is not going to sell the remaining ones, but will give them to users in the form of a lottery.
At the same time, the store will start pre-sales on New Year's Day and will ship within 7 days.
Today was a relatively busy day for Gao Yuan. The reason why he didn't go home and take Lin Wanyu with him to the Lin Group was because Lin Wanyu didn't want to go.
He also asked Gao Yuan not to go home during the day.
The two of them must be preparing for today's surprise.
Although Gao Yuan didn't know what they were going to play, he knew that it would be physically demanding.
After get off work, Gao Yuan drove to Platinum Crystal Palace. When he got there, Gao Yuan did not get out of the car, but called Xiaoyan.
After Xiaoyan came out, she got directly into the passenger seat.
"Why don't you go in?"
Gao Yuan reached out and took out a Hermès gift box from behind and put it on Xiaoyan's lap.
"Merry Christmas."
Xiaoyan didn't expect that Gao Yuan would give her a Christmas gift, and it was such an expensive bag, so she immediately hugged Gao Yuan and kissed her.
Farewell to Xiaoyan, Gao Yuan drove to IN11 again.
I also gave a bag to Mei Ting.
Mei Ting was much more enthusiastic and insisted on dragging Gao Yuan to play here for a while before going back.
He also told her that there was a chick tonight, and for the sake of this bag, she would let him have a blast tonight.
Gao Yuan also cruelly refused.
After all, Lin Wanyu had been preparing at home all day. If he didn't go back tonight, there would probably be a fire in the backyard.
Return to No. 1 Courtyard.
Gao Yuan had just stepped out of the elevator and was about to open the door when his cell phone rang.
He opened it and saw that it was Xiao Xiao's message.
"Xiao Yu is coming to Hangzhou to spend Christmas with you."
Only this sentence.
But Gao Yuan's scalp felt numb when he saw it.
The distance between upstairs and downstairs is indeed very close, but this will kill him!
"I'll go up later."
Gao Yuan could only reply with this sentence.
Then I opened the door with mixed emotions.
As a result, when he entered the house, he was stunned.
