Chapter 51: Chapter 51: You Really Have the Guts
Monday.
Xu Yang arrived at the company and entered Xiao Dongsheng’s office, handing over the list of future web celebrities to him.
“Old Xiao, here is the list of anchors with great potential I’ve found over the past month and a half. Sign them all.”
“Once they are signed, just have them do live streaming and shoot short videos according to the plan above.”
This was not merely a list, but also a professional plan.
Xiao Dongsheng looked at the list and plan, his face full of shock.
With his insight, he could naturally judge that, barring unexpected events, there was a high probability these anchors would become famous.
It could be said that this list and plan, if released, would definitely make all the major guilds scramble for it.
Xiao Dongsheng couldn’t help but inwardly admire his boss’s prowess.
It seemed the young boss didn’t buy the guild just for fun, but had a long-term plan.
Otherwise, why would he spend over a month searching for potential anchors?
“President Xu, signing these anchors is certainly no problem.”
“Among them, I don’t see many popular anchors; most are only somewhat famous, and some I haven’t even heard of.”
“Even so, for many anchors that have signed with guilds, we’ll need to pay a substantial penalty to poach them.”
“Currently, the company’s funds can only maintain the basic operation of the guild; we don’t have any surplus money.”
Xiao Dongsheng knew the company was short on funds.
“I’ll take care of that; I’ll immediately transfer one hundred million into the company’s account. If that’s not enough, let me know. In any case, I want you to sign these anchors at the fastest speed possible for our guild. The terms should be the same as those for our existing anchors; you can handle the specifics.”
Xu Yang promptly operated his laptop and transferred one hundred million into the company’s financial account.
Xiao Dongsheng’s eyes widened in surprise.
The boss was really going for it with such a substantial initial move. It looked like he was gearing up for a big battle.
He quickly said, “President Xu, rest assured, I will handle this as quickly as possible. With the signing of so many anchors, we need to ensure our support staff can keep up; we’ll need to hire more people.”
Xu Yang nodded, “That’s not a problem. Just start the recruitment process. In short, as long as you do a good job, don’t worry about spending money. By doing things right, we can earn much more.”
Xiao Dongsheng replied, “Understood.”
Xu Yang added, “Oh, regarding the anchor named Lin Junyi on the list, you don’t have to worry about him. I’ll invite him personally.”
Xiao Dongsheng checked the list and noticed a food anchor. He wondered who this person was, to merit a personal invitation from President Xu himself.
However, he did not ask and simply nodded, “Understood.”
Xu Yang said, “Old Xiao, I’m counting on you for what comes next. I know your job is tough. If you encounter any difficulties, just let me know, and I’ll solve them for you.”
Xiao Dongsheng replied, “President Xu, it’s not about whether the job is tough or not; it’s my duty.”
Xu Yang smiled and didn’t say anything else before getting up to leave.
He was the type to delegate responsibilities. He wouldn’t intervene in the specifics and didn’t wish to.
Today, he came just to deliver the list and plan.
After leaving the company, Xu Yang drove home.
Once home, he dialed Lin Junyi’s phone number.
The call connected quickly.
Xu Yang immediately said, “Junyi, what are you busy with?”
Lin Junyi replied, “I’m out playing. There’s a big outdoor event in the southern district today, and I’m doing live streaming here.”
He was spending a lot of effort on live streaming and shooting short videos.
He found this kind of life to be very interesting.
Anyway, he was no longer short of money now, just in pursuit of an interesting life.
Even his own company, he handed over to the vice president to manage.
Xu Yang said, “Do you have time tonight? If you do, Yu Xin and I would like to treat you to dinner.”
Lin Junyi replied, “I have time, this event ends at four in the afternoon, and I’ll head back after it’s over.”
Xu Yang said, “Okay, I’ll send you the time and address later, see you tonight.”
Lin Junyi replied, “Alright, see you tonight.”
…
In the evening, Xu Yang took a taxi to the bank where Zhao Yuxin worked, waited for her to finish work, and then they both rode in a Maserati to the restaurant they had booked.
It was an upscale restaurant with a minimum per capita consumption of three thousand yuan.
Inviting Lin Junyi to dinner naturally couldn’t be shabby.
Moreover, this time they wanted to persuade Lin Junyi to sign with their guild.
The two arrived at the restaurant’s private room, and it wasn’t long before Lin Junyi also arrived.
After a few rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes
Xu Yang said, “Junyi, I invited you to dinner today because I have something I want to discuss with you.”
As Lin Junyi ate, he asked, “What’s up?”
Xu Yang began, “Junyi, here’s the thing, I’ve acquired a live streaming guild…”
Before Xu Yang could finish, Lin Junyi interrupted in shock, “What, you acquired a live streaming guild!”
Xu Yang nodded smilingly, “Yes, I took your advice. The short video field is promising, so I did some research. I figured live streaming or shooting short videos isn’t really my thing, so I decided to acquire a guild, to enter the short video domain and make money that way.”
Lin Junyi sighed, “Xu Yang, I didn’t expect you to be so bold. I’m just a streamer, and you’ve become the boss of a live streaming guild.”
Xu Yang’s action truly amazed him.
Of course, he had thought about it himself, but hadn’t actually gone through with it.
He had his own company and didn’t need to run any guilds.
His main reasons for getting into short videos were that he found them fun and profitable.
After all, he was already a billionaire. If he just wanted to make money, it would be better to continue expanding and strengthening his own company.
With a smile, Xu Yang said, “Junyi, now that you’re doing outdoor live streaming and short video shooting, are you signed with any guild?”
Lin Junyi shook his head, “No, I’m just doing it for fun; I haven’t signed with any guild.”
Suddenly, he seemed to understand and with a raised eyebrow, he asked with a smile, “What, are you looking to sign me up?”
Xu Yang nodded, “That’s right, I hope you will sign with my guild.”
Zhao Yuxin added her support, “Junyi, just sign with Xu Yang’s company, consider it a favor to help Xu Yang, alright?”
Xu Yang continued, “Junyi, rest assured, if you sign with the guild, I will give you the highest revenue share.”
Lin Junyi initially didn’t want to sign with any guild and just wanted to have fun on his own, but since both of them had made such a request, Lin Junyi couldn’t help but consider it.
After a moment of silence, Lin Junyi finally nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll sign with your guild.”
“Thank you, Junyi!”
“Junyi, we toast to you, thank you for your support,” Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin raised their glasses.
“Don’t be so formal. Given our relationship, what’s all this talk about signing? I’m just playing with short videos, and whether I sign or not doesn’t really matter to me. Since it’s your guild, I naturally want to support you,” Lin Junyi raised his glass in response.
The three of them drank the wine in their glasses in one go.
Putting down the glasses, Xu Yang asked, “Honestly, Junyi, what do you think of your live streams and short videos?”
