Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 218 216. Aim to exceed 2 billion next year!

The dim warm yellow wall lamp exudes a faint light, forming a beautiful butterfly light and shadow on the wall. The unobstructed floor-to-ceiling windows in the room clearly reflect the scene in the room.

Chen Li'an placed the sleeping Sissi on the bed and pinched her chubby cheeks before getting up.

Liu Xiaoli also put down her bag and walked over. She took off Sissy's shoes and covered her with a blanket before making a gesture to Chen Li'an to go out and chat.

Chen Li'an followed Liu Xiaoli out and took a look at the suite. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoli was quite luxurious, and the two of them stayed in the suite.

"I wanted to give Sissy the feeling that she was not staying in a hotel, so she stayed in such an expensive room." Liu Xiaoli took the initiative to explain and poured a glass of water for Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an took a sip from the water glass and said, "You are very thoughtful, but a hotel is not a long-term solution. I will arrange a place for you to stay tomorrow. Do you have any requirements?"

"There are no requirements. Just look at the arrangements." Liu Xiaoli suddenly thought of something and added: "It's best not to be in an alley."

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Then you can go to bed early. I will arrange to call you in two days."

"Aren't you going to sit down for a while?" Liu Xiaoli suddenly took Chen Li'an's hand and asked.

Chen Li'an showed a smile and said: "I have something to do later, and Sissi is asleep, so I won't disturb your rest."

Seeing that Chen Li'an was serious and not playing hard-to-get, Liu Xiaoli didn't try to persuade him anymore, but she took Chen Li'an's hand, kissed him on the face and said, "This is what you owed me in Paris last time."

Chen Li'an smiled, said good night to Liu Xiaoli and left.

After Chen Li'an left, Liu Xiaoli frowned and thought about what went wrong. Chen Li'an just smiled and didn't respond at all.

Are you no longer interested in yourself? Then why do you want to help yourself arrange your future life? No. There must be something wrong here.

Liu Xiaoli sat on the sofa and thought for a long time, but she still didn't have so much experience in complex relationships between men and women. For a while, she still couldn't figure out Chen Li'an's intention today.

She was good at teasing and pulling her along, but when faced with Chen Li'an's Neptune strategy, she was a little confused.

"You can't just want to support me," Liu Xiaoli muttered, feeling as if she had guessed what Chen Li'an was thinking.

Otherwise, why would he always emphasize that they are friends? Does this mean that he is unwilling to go further? Liu Xiaoli sighed when she thought of this. She felt that her plan was ruined. To be precise, it was cut in half. The direction of the story was different from what she thought.

Maybe Chen Li'an gave her too many illusions before, making her think that Chen Li'an liked her, but now she realized that it wasn't that simple.

"Then shall I accept it?"

Liu Xiaoli was a little troubled, and she also wanted to understand that Chen Li'an said that he would contact her in a few days, maybe just to give herself time to think about it.

"What a cunning little man!" Liu Xiaoli kicked off her high heels, hugged her legs and huddled on the sofa, her mind wandering to nowhere.

Sissi, who was asleep in the bedroom, hugged the quilt and muttered in her sleep, "Daddy, give me a hug."

Downstairs outside the hotel, Chen Li'an opened the car door, sat in, and said to Li Dabai, "Let's drive."

Li Dabai immediately started the car, glanced at Chen Li'an through the rearview mirror and asked softly: "Teacher Chen, what are your plans for her?"

Chen Li'an rolled down the window and felt the cool night breeze and asked nonchalantly: "What are your plans?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to help her make arrangements?" Li Dabai asked while driving.

"I haven't thought about it. Tomorrow you go and see where there are ready-made houses with fine decoration. The location of the community is better and the area is bigger." After Chen Li'an made arrangements casually, he got down to business, "Help me book another one to go to Yangcheng the day after tomorrow." air ticket."

"Okay, do you want me to go with you?" Li Dabai stopped asking.

"You are my assistant, what do you want to do if you don't follow me?"

"Oh, you didn't let me follow you last time."

"You still talk back, right?"

"."

Being an assistant is so hard! Li Dabai felt that Chen Li'an was not in a good mood today, and he did not dare to speak during the whole journey.

After sending Chen Li'an downstairs to Bai Qing's house, Li Dabai drove away for fear of being scolded by Chen Li'an again.

Chen Li'an hadn't been to Bai Qing's house for a long time. When he came in, Bai Qing was still asleep and was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book.

Seeing Chen Li'an coming back, Bo Qing put down the book in his hand and asked, "You came back so early."

"Well, let's have a meal with friends." Chen Li'an sat next to Bai Qing, leaned against her and said tiredly: "I'm tired, I want to come back and sleep."

Bai Qing smelled the faint scent of women's perfume on Chen Li'an, frowned and said, "You just need to be calm."

Chen Li'an lay down with his pillow on Bai Qing's legs and said, "When I get old and can't move anymore, I will be at ease."

Listening to Chen Li'an's shameless words, Bai Qing couldn't help but pinch his face hard and said, "Why are you so shameless!"

"Take the pain less." Chen Li'an twisted his face and hugged Bai Qing's thin waist and muttered: "Don't move, let me sleep for a while."

Bai Qing angrily picked up Chen Li'an by his ears and said, "Go and take a shower, you really thought I told you to come to bed!"

Chen Li'an: "." I knew I wouldn't come! How nice to go home and sleep! He could also rest his head on Dabai's legs, but Dabai probably wouldn't want to either.

Being a scumbag is too tiring. No wonder everyone wants to be a pure love god of war. It is simple, easy and has no pressure on the body and mind, and no pressure on the wallet.

The next day, after Chen Li'an was busy in the studio all morning, Li Dabai came back to report on the task, and the final result was that he had to spend money again.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but sigh. His savings had never been full in the bank for more than half a year. The dividends he received from VCD in the past two months were not warm enough, and now he had to spend them again.

"Teacher Chen, do you want to check out those houses?" Li Dabai actually wanted to ask if Liu Xiaoli should go and check them out.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "I don't have time in these two days. I'll talk about it after I finish my work."

Seeing Chen Li'an's calm demeanor, Li Dabai couldn't figure out what his attitude was towards Liu Xiaoli. He took the initiative and deliberately ignored her.

Li Dabai felt that Chen Li'an might regret it. After all, a house is so expensive, so he tested it in a low voice: "Teacher Chen, a house is so expensive. Are you really ready to give it away?"

"Giving it away? Why do you want to give it away?" Chen Li'an glanced at Li Dabai strangely, and then said: "Even if it is given away, it won't be like this now. Let's talk about it later."

Chen Li'an was too lazy to explain to Li Dabai. After putting the last photo into the album, he took out his mobile phone and called Director Yang.

"Lao Yang, is there any exhibition in the museum recently?"

"Who are you calling Lao Yang? There are no big or small ones." Curator Yang scolded Chen Li'an before saying, "There has been no exhibition recently. Do you want to hold an exhibition?"

Chen Li'an smiled and then said: "Well, I have this idea, I took a group of photos, and I want to hold a film exhibition."

Curator Yang thought for a while and said, "Send the work to me later, but the money should not be less."

Chen Li'an: "." This old man is really conscientious of his duties!

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li'an handed the photo album to Li Dabai and said, "Please help me go to the National Art Museum of China in the afternoon and give this to Director Yang."

"Can I just send it over?" Li Dabai asked as he took the photo album.

"Well, I'll talk to him about the rest when I get back from Yangcheng."

It was really hot in Yangcheng in June. When he got off the plane, Chen Li'an saw that the air seemed to be distorted.

"Teacher Chen, I'm going to heat up." Li Dabai shouted weakly.

Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced at Li Dabai, thinking about what Dabai's made-up look like, a bursting cream puff.

Why are there still pictures? The artist's imagination is a bit rich. Chen Li'an put on his sunglasses, took the bag in Li Dabai's hand and said, "If you are afraid of the heat, go quickly. There is air conditioning in the car."

The factory arranged a car to pick up Chen Li'an at the airport. It was an 80% new Santana, but the air conditioning was still very powerful.

Li Dabai sat next to Chen Li'an and kept fanning his hands, almost sticking out his tongue.

Chen Li'an glanced at Dabai, who was dangling because of her excessive movements, knocked her on the head and said, "Little girl, pay attention to your image!"

Li Dabai covered his head and groaned, looked down at his own Dabai, and leaned against the car window depressedly, not wanting to speak.

Who can understand Dabai's troubles?

The car soon arrived at the factory. Seeing the trucks pulling goods at the entrance of the factory, Chen Li'an couldn't help but stop and look at it for a long time.

The cars were full of money, and Chen Li'an seemed to smell the smell of money in the air.

"What are you doing standing here!" Qiao Linmu wiped his sweat and walked out of the factory. When he saw Chen Li'an standing there, he urged: "Come in quickly, we are waiting for you."

"Here we come!" Chen Li'an withdrew his gaze and walked over quickly.

In the conference room, as soon as Chen Li'an came in, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Li'an. This was the first time for this major shareholder to attend a factory meeting.

Although this is the first time we meet, everyone is still very familiar with Chen Li'an. He is an artist and a movie actor.

Every time I go to the factory director's office, I see the magazines and cut-down newspapers in his office. I don't know, but I think Chen Li'an is not his nephew but his son.

However, there is no difference between a nephew and a son. The old Qiao family has only one daughter in this generation, and Chen Li'an can be considered half a son of the Qiao family.

Qiao Linmu said to the old guys in the office with some showoff and pride: "My nephew Chen Li'an is also the major shareholder of our factory."

Chen Li'an also introduced himself politely, and the conference room immediately burst into applause, giving it the atmosphere of a state-owned enterprise.

However, most of the people here came from state-owned enterprises. So many state-owned enterprises closed down in the past few years, and a lot of talents were lost.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the meeting officially began. They had already read the plan that Chen Li'an asked Li Dabai to fax.

Today's meeting is to discuss the subsequent development and detailed strategies in detail.

As the proposer of the plan, Chen Li'an was naturally at the center of the meeting today, explaining some of the new concepts in the plan to everyone.

Li Dabai sat in the corner and watched Chen Li'an teach a group of people and convince a group of sales elites.

Li Dabai held his chin and smiled stupidly, muttering to himself, Teacher Chen is so handsome, he is so good at everything he does.

Especially the best at seducing women!

Li Dabai was inevitably a little depressed when he thought of this, why didn't he seduce himself. Li Dabai looked down and wondered if Chen Li'an disliked him for being too big.

Li Dabai spent the whole afternoon guessing why Chen Li'an didn't seduce him, since there were so many opportunities.

In the evening, the office suddenly became quiet. A group of people were a little tired and smoked cigarettes to refresh themselves. They had finished talking and the matter of joining the war in the color TV industry was finally decided.

Chen Lian's voice was a little hoarse. He knocked on the table with a cigarette in his hand and said, "This must be done quickly. Changhong has become a well-known patriotic brand in the TV field. Lixin wants to become synonymous with the VCD industry. From the beginning, The momentum must be built up, newspapers and TV stations must report it, and don’t be afraid of spending money.”

At this point, Chen Li'an paused for a moment, smiled and joked: "Anyway, it doesn't cost as much as CCTV's Biao Wang, but the effect is definitely not worse than Biao Wang."

"This year's goal is one billion, and next year's goal is two billion. Whether Lixin can become the industry leader depends on everyone!"

Qiao Linmu couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You just have no idea about money, but this is indeed a good opportunity, take action now!"

"Okay, director!" Everyone in the conference room immediately took their notebooks and left. The entire factory will be running at high speed tonight.

If you want to participate in such an industry war, you need to prepare too much, and you can't just lower the price.

It is said that it is a big price reduction promotion, but in fact it is a public opinion war and brand share. Price reduction promotion is not for small profits but quick turnover, market share is the purpose.

When all consumers think of Lixin when they think of VCD, that will be real success, but the premise of all this is that the quality and price of the product must pass the test.

If a brand wants to become the industry leader, it can't just beat the master to death. Changhong has indeed been in the limelight this year, but it will not be able to maintain its position as the industry leader in the future.

The most important thing is to accumulate technology and make the product the best.

When everyone in the conference room was almost gone, Chen Li'an put out the cigarette butts in his hand, looked at Qiao Linmu and said, "Second uncle, how are the technical reserves now? You can't always rely on others for chips and decoders."

Qiao Linmu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "We just recruited a few graduate students this month, and the original technicians' research and development has also made good progress."

Chen Li'an nodded when he heard this and said: "Technical talents are the most important. Lixin cannot always make VCDs in the future. This thing will be eliminated in a few years."

Qiao Linmu was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Will it be eliminated in a few years?"

"Well, this is a transitional product in the development of science and technology. It has a short lifespan." Chen Li'an rubbed his temples and said, "The future is dominated by the Internet. Domestic computer sales this year have exceeded 10 billion, and the development speed is very fast. of."

"Computer?" Qiao Linmu frowned, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "This has nothing to do with VCD, right? Can it replace VCD?"

Chen Li'an shrugged his shoulders and said: "If it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Computers are iterating faster than rockets, but we haven't yet reached the point where we need to consider the next step."

Qiao Linmu silently remembered what Chen Li'an said, but as Chen Li'an said, it's not time to think about future development yet, let's fight the battle in front of us first!

Let’s first make Lixin No. 1 in the country and achieve sales of over 800 million by the end of the year!

Aim to exceed 2 billion next year!
