Chapter 387 Yang Chaoyue: Don’t be angry, okay?

Wenlan Culture was founded in 2016. At the beginning of its establishment, it cooperated with a domestic artist agency to select a female idol team called "CH2", including Yang Chaoyue.

"CH2" has been operating for more than a year and has never been well-known. Until March 2018, Yang Chaoyue was recommended to "Creation 101".

Yang Chaoyue seized the opportunity in "Creation 101" and became popular overnight. Afterwards, he maintained his super high popularity with his stable performance and eventually formed a group and won the third place.

The appearance of Yang Chaoyue has brought Wen Lan Culture into the public eye. By now, it has become a well-known domestic artist brokerage company.

However, this name is a bit false.

Why do you say so?

Because Wenlan Culture was established for too short, lacks foundation and limited operational capabilities, in the past three years, there is only one artist under its umbrella that can be seen.

The entire company is basically supported by Yang Chaoyue alone, and its performance accounts for an astonishing 95%.

In Li Chuan's view, this is just a small company that is not as good as the price.

He is confident in winning a small company.

His idea was to directly acquire Wenlan Culture.

Originally, he didn't want to do this because he was only interested in Yang Chaoyue and had no interest in Wenlan Culture's company and the artist brokerage business it was engaged in.

Therefore, he just wanted to buy Yang Chaoyue's agent contract.

However, when he learned about the specific situation of Wen Lan culture from Yang Chaoyue, he changed his mind.

The only valuable asset of the company Wenlan Culture is Yang Chaoyue’s brokerage contract.

Without Yang Chaoyue’s agency contract, the company would be completely ruined... In this case, buying Yang Chaoyue’s agency contract is equivalent to buying Wen Lan Culture.

In this way, it would be better to just take the blame.

The price may be cheaper if you keep it in the pot.

Li Chuan's plan is to buy Wen Lan Culture, then reduce the personnel, dismiss some useless personnel, leave only some elites, and combine them into Yang Chaoyue's exclusive team to be responsible for all Yang Chaoyue's agency affairs.

He felt that his plan was very feasible.

Because the bosses of small companies are often short of money, if they do not have a clear development prospect, they are generally willing to sell the company and cash out.

You should know that the artist brokerage industry that Wenlan Culture belongs to has not a wide range of money, and it tests connections and resources very much... It is difficult for small companies to become bigger and stronger in this industry; it is even more difficult to make a lot of money in this industry.

Li Chuan analyzed the above situation and felt that if he was the boss of Wen Lan Culture, he would definitely sell the company when Yang Chaoyue was the most popular.

Many people may disagree with this idea.

Young people today are all baptized by the wave of Internet entrepreneurship.

Influenced by Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, Liu Qiangdong and others, they felt that only the company went public could be considered a successful business.

This idea is wrong.

It's not that easy to go public.

China is so big and has developed for so many years, and it has only more than 3,000 listed companies (in 2019)... Just looking at this data, you can tell how difficult it is for a company to go public.

If you simply use the "company listing" as the standard to determine whether a business is successful, then 99.99% of entrepreneurs are losers.

This concept is obviously wrong.

The main purpose of ordinary people starting a business is to make money.

From this perspective, as long as you can earn enough money, you will be considered successful in starting a business.

There are many ways to make money, and listing is just one of them.

In addition to listing, selling the company is also a very good way.

For example: Ele.me.

In 2009, Zhang Xuhao, a college student, founded Ele.me and several classmates.

They developed for nine years, and by 2018, they sold their bodies to Alibaba and Ant Financial, worth $9.5 billion!

Ele.me is not listed, but who dares to say that Zhang Xuhao has not successfully started a business?

How many classes did Zhang Xuhao cross from a college student to a business star with a net worth of tens of billions?

If you count carefully, there are not many people in the world who are more successful than him!

For example: QQ.

As we all know, QQ is the most successful live chat software in the PC era.

However, when Ma Huateng and others created it, they did not think of this.

Although the early QQ had a large number of users and developed very quickly, it never made money. Every time they operated for one more day, they would spend more money on it.

In the end, they couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to sell QQ, but they sold it for a long time and no one bought it.

It was not until later that they received an investment that they turned the risk into safety.

From this we can see that the ideas of Ma Huateng and others are also very realistic.

At the beginning, they wanted to make something and make some money, but because QQ was never sold, they came up with Tencent later.

Some people may not believe this and think this is a story deliberately made up by Ma Huateng.

Li Chuan doesn't think so.

He thought this was normal.

The normal business idea is to focus on reality. Do what you need most at the moment. You can’t just think about flying before you learn to leave... Those companies that have been determined to become giants from the beginning often have a particularly miserable end.

This principle is very simple. Anyone with certain social experience basically understands it.

Shouweida obviously falls into this category.

He had long had the idea of ​​selling the company and it actually continued to implement it.

About two months ago, he contacted a film and television company called "Houhai Culture".

After some negotiations, the two parties have reached a preliminary acquisition intention.

When Li Chuan heard this news, he felt a headache.

He didn't expect that he would meet a competitor.

According to his understanding, an artist agency like Wenlan Culture, which has only one core asset, has little value in itself, and not many people will want to acquire it.

The real situation was similar to what he thought.

There are indeed not many people who want to acquire Wen Lan Culture, but he underestimated Shouweida's determination to sell the company.

Shouweida has been operating Wenlan Culture for many years and has not achieved much success. Yang Chaoyue’s popularity is purely an accident, and it is a pie that has fallen from the sky.

He knew that he was not able to become bigger and stronger in the artist agency industry, so he was eager to eat the pie into his stomach as soon as possible.

Therefore, whenever an individual or company contacts him and discusses the acquisition with him, he will express his sincerity to negotiate with the other party, even if the price is a little low, it doesn't matter.

In this way, although there were few people who came to him actively, he also found several suitable goals.

Among them, Houhai Culture is the one with the most sincerity, the highest quotation, and the fastest negotiation progress.

Li Chuan didn't know much about this information.

However, this did not affect his judgment.

After accepting the incident of "having competitors", he took the initiative to ask about the other party's offer.

Shouweida said that the quotation given by Houhai Culture is 200 million.

Li Chuan didn't know whether it was true or not, but it was probably mixed with a lot of water.

He tentatively bargained with the other party and achieved certain results, but it was relatively limited, only from 200 million to 180 million.

He could not accept the number "180 million".

Although Yang Chaoyue is very popular and has a high success rate in live streaming and selling goods, it is still too much for 180 million.

Yang Chaoyue won’t be able to do live streaming and sell goods until June 2020. The market environment at that time must be different from now.

As time goes by, more and more celebrities will participate in live streaming and the competitive pressure will become greater and greater.

If Yang Chaoyue could do live streaming and sell goods now, Li Chuan would be sure to train him to become a leading live streaming anchor, but by June 2020, he would not have the confidence.

At that time, he will most likely be able to train Yang Chaoyue into a first-tier host of goods.

Although first-tier live-action anchors can make a lot of money, the return cycle is particularly long, and various accidents may occur in the middle. Once something goes wrong, the consequences will be unpredictable.

From these aspects, this deal is very unfavorable.

Li Chuan thought carefully and put forward a new idea, which is not to acquire Wen Lan Culture, but only buy Yang Chaoyue’s short video brokerage and live broadcast brokerage, in the same format as Wu Jinyan.

This proposal was beyond Shouweida's expectations.

He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't make it final. He just said that he had to think about it carefully.

Li Chuan had no choice but to agree.

"Oh~."

After Li Chuan hung up the phone, he sighed helplessly, his face feeling quite melancholy.

"What's wrong?" Yang Chaoyue asked.

"Not much."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "Your matter is a bit troublesome, more complicated than I thought."

Yang Chaoyue pouted and said, "You don't want to give up, do you?"

"Um?"

Li Chuan was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously: "No."

Yang Chaoyue doesn't believe it.

She hugged Li Chuan's neck, acted like she was going to fight, and said viciously: "I warn you, I am a woman now. If you dare to leave me alone, I will definitely not let you go!"

"You're thinking too much."

Li Chuan felt a little uncomfortable and quickly broke free from the constraints and said, "How could I leave you alone? Am I that kind of person?"

"This...is hard to say."

"Hmm? What does it mean?" Li Chuan was stunned again.

Yang Chaoyue looked at Li Chuan and said seriously: "I can't be sure what kind of person you are yet."

"Depend on!"

Li Chuan couldn't help but curse and said, "You don't believe it!"

After saying that, he picked up his cell phone again.

"What are you going to do?!"

Yang Chaoyue grabbed Li Chuan's hand violently.

"What are you doing?"

Li Chuan said impatiently: "I want to call."

"What are you going to do when you call...?"

Yang Chaoyue stared at Li Chuan tightly, his eyes flashing slightly, as if he was covered in tears.

"Solve the problem for you."

"Solve the problem?" Yang Chaoyue was slightly stunned.

"yes."

Li Chuan noticed Yang Chaoyue's strangeness and said in confusion: "What's wrong? Where do you want to go?"

"I...I thought..."

"Why are you?"

"I thought... you really want to leave me alone."

After Yang Chaoyue said that, his eyes were a little red.

"You can really think about it."

"You... were angry just now."

"What's wrong with being angry?"

"I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of? I'm afraid of leaving you alone?"

"Yeah." Yang Chaoyue nodded, with a feeling of grievance on his face.

"Am I that scrupulous?"

Li Chuan said with a dark look on his face, "I'm angry because you don't believe me. This matter is... very small, and I don't care. You're thinking too much."

Yang Chaoyue pouted, turned forward, threw himself into Li Chuan's arms, and said, "Don't be angry in the future, can you do it?"

"Why?"

Li Chuan glared at him and said, "If you mess with me, I will definitely be angry."

"Then I won't mess with you anymore."

"hehe."

Li Chuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you so afraid that I'm angry?"

"You're angry, a little scary."

“Is there any?”

"Yes, I was scared just now."

"Oh, then I'll be careful in the future."

"Um."

Yang Chaoyue responded, then looked up and kissed Li Chuan.

Li Chuan also cooperated to hug the other party.

After a verbal battle, Li Chuan took the initiative to push Yang Chaoyue away and said, "I'll make a call first."

After saying that, he picked up his cell phone, found Jiang Zeyu's phone number, and called.

Jiang Zeyu hasn't returned to the company for a week.

This week, he has been working outside.

Previously, he was ordered by Li Chuan to temporarily station in Heqiao Town, Lin'an District to assist Feng Xu in handling matters related to Jiuxiang Food Factory.

He stayed at Jiuxiang Food Factory for four days, adjusted the personnel structure of the factory, registered, applied for the "Little Greedy Cat" trademark, selected the logo pattern, and finally customized a "job promotion plan" to implement it in the research and development of fish tofu product.

After dealing with these matters, he rushed to Zixi again.

I went to Zixi, of course, for the sake of "Western Gravity".

At this time, it has been more than ten days since Sanmu Supply Chain acquired "Western Gravity".

The stability maintenance work has long been completed. Now "Western Gravity" has been officially renamed "Graining Technology", and has begun to develop high-end products for "gravity".

The overall work progress is quite smooth, but the efficiency of promotion is relatively low, and there are also many problems encountered in the middle.

Some problems cannot be solved by Yang Mingyan, and Li Chuan needs to deal with them.

Li Chuan had no time, so he assigned the task to Jiang Zeyu again.

So, Jiang Zeyu had just finished his work at Jiuxiang Food Factory, and rushed to Zixi without stopping... Now, he is still there and has not come back.

The phone rang twice and was connected.

Jiang Zeyu: "Hey, I'm in a meeting."

Li Chuan: "Stop for a while, I'll tell you something."

Jiang Zeyu: "You wait a moment...Okay, I'm out, you tell me."

Li Chuan: "I broadcast live yesterday. Have you watched it?"

Jiang Zeyu: "I didn't watch it. I was having a meeting last night and I didn't have time to watch it, but I heard that you and Yang Chaoyue were broadcasting live together, right?"

Li Chuan: "Well, she came to my live broadcast room as a guest. I have to pay her a reward. You can arrange it and send the money over."

Jiang Zeyu: "How much does it cost?"

Li Chuan: "This... is about 15 or 16?"

Yang Chaoyue was beside him and quickly made a "six" gesture, swaying in front of Li Chuan.

Li Chuan looked at him, slapped him off, and then said to the phone: "I remember it, it's one hundred and six."

"One and six million!"

"One and six million!"

Yang Chaoyue tried hard to stym the mouth, and his movements and expressions were very exaggerated.

"Tsk."

Li Chuan was both irritable and helpless, and curled his lips and said, "I know, one million and six million."

Jiang Zeyu: "Is there anyone there?"

Li Chuan was shocked: "Uh, that... Wentao is here, please remind me."

Jiang Zeyu: "Oh, one million, six hundred thousand, right?"

Li Chuan: "Yes."

Jiang Zeyu: "Who are you calling?"

Li Chuan: "Give her company, wowijiwa."

Jiang Zeyu: "Do you have an account?"

Li Chuan: "Yes, I'll send it to you later."

Jiang Zeyu: "Okay, you can post it now."

Li Chuan: "Shoulder, there is something else."

Jiang Zeyu: "You said."

Li Chuan: "That's right. Yesterday, I chatted with Yang Chaoyue for a while. She was very interested in live streaming and wanted to cooperate with us."

Jiang Zeyu: "Oh?! Have you fooled her?"

Li Chuan: "Tsk, what is fooling around? She was interested in it, so we just chatted casually and reached an agreement."

Jiang Zeyu: "Oh, this is a good thing. Yang Chaoyue is an idol star with a good foundation in popularity. Join in and train him well and become a general in the company!"

Li Chuan: "I know this, mainly because I have encountered some problems now."

Jiang Zeyu: "What's the problem?"

Li Chuan: "Yang Chaoyue's contract is a bit complicated, she..."
