This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 393 Muzi Times

Author: No wine on the table

“When did this question arise?”

"There were signs after the New Year, and it became more and more intense..."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Wu Wenfan was dumbfounded and his face was very awkward.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but he doesn’t dare to say it.

He was afraid that Li Chuan would think he was pretentious.

Changing the workplace is a burden on the company. Under normal circumstances, the leader will not agree. Instead, he may have an opinion on the person who makes such a request because of this matter.

In addition, he was also afraid that Li Chuan would think he had other plans.

Changing the workplace is equivalent to splitting up the family. After splitting up, many things will be out of their original control. This kind of thing is quite sensitive. Once the operation is not done well, the consequences will be very serious.

All kinds of concerns made him drag him down and say nothing.

Now, it is because this matter cannot be delayed.

I used to be delayed because the entertainment anchors had a good life. When they were broadcasting, their popularity would not be lower than three digits. If you broadcast it casually, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan every month.

In this case, even if the entertainment anchor is envious of the e-commerce anchor, he will not keep rushing in.

In the future, the situation may be different.

TikTok has issued an announcement to cancel the number of fans of the live broadcast function. This move will inevitably lead to a large number of new anchors influx and intensify the competitive environment.

When the competition pressure is high, the income of entertainment anchors will decrease. When the income is low, their mentality will change.

In the past, when their income was high, they could still maintain a normal mind when facing the company's e-commerce anchors; in the future, when their income dropped sharply, their mentality might be unbalanced when facing the company's e-commerce anchors... If this situation lasts for a long time, there may be big problems!

Previously, someone raised this point when Wu Wenfan and his team were having a meeting.

When they discussed it, they all felt that they had to change their office space... This problem cannot be delayed any further. The longer the delay, the easier it is to cause problems.

In this way, the appearance of "Wu Wenfan comes to the door".

At this moment, Wu Wenfan was quite confused in his heart when facing Li Chuan's questioning.

But after the entanglement, he still told the truth.

After hearing his words, Li Chuan could understand it, but was still a little dissatisfied.

"In the future, if you encounter such a problem again, report it to me in time. I don't want to wait until I know it, the matter has reached an irreversible point. Do you understand?" Li Chuan looked at Wu Wenfan and said with a serious look on his face.

"I understand." Wu Wenfan nodded quickly.

Li Chuan didn't say anything else.

He leaned against the back of the chair and fell into deep thought.

In fact, when he heard Wu Wenfan explain the problem, he had already agreed to the request to "change the office space of the operation department."

However, he now has a little more thought.

He was wondering whether to separate Miki Media directly and let it develop alone.

The reason why he thinks this is because he thinks that e-commerce, supply chain business, entertainment live broadcast, and short video business are not closely related. If the two are separated, they will not have much impact and will have certain benefits.

What are the benefits?

First of all, it can avoid possible conflicts between e-commerce anchors and entertainment anchors to the greatest extent, and calm the mentality of the operation department employees.

Secondly, risks can be isolated from public opinion.

The "Sanmu Series" is an Internet celebrity industry. What is the Internet celebrity industry most afraid of?

I am most afraid of public opinion.

If e-commerce, supply chain business is tied to entertainment live broadcasts and short video businesses, if something happens to one party, the other party will also be implicated.

For example, if there is a problem with the quality of a certain product in the supply chain, the anchors and short video experts in the entertainment live broadcast and short video will also encounter some bad voices; if there is an Internet celebrity termination of contracts and treasury on the entertainment live broadcast or short video, there will be many people scolding the live broadcast room in the e-commerce live broadcast room in the supply chain.

This phenomenon is what Li Chuan dislikes the most.

As the "No.1 player in the live streaming industry, he is at the forefront of the storm. If something happens to the company, it will definitely be infinitely magnified.

He does not want public opinion to involve the company, nor does he want to involve himself, so he wants to avoid risks as much as possible.

Putting Sanmu Media out of its own is a good way to avoid risks.

‘My main energy is usually on e-commerce and supply chains. Sanmu Media is a little unable to supervise it. If something happens there, it will be difficult for me to control the situation as soon as possible.’

‘If Miki Media is independent, change its name, and do some marketing, then netizens will not know that this company belongs to me. Even if they know, they are not sure about it.’

‘If you can’t be sure, the risk of public opinion will not be passed on to me.’

‘I focus on running e-commerce and supply chains, control the situation here, and Sanmu Media can also gain greater development space when it goes out independently, which seems to kill two birds with one stone.’

‘…’

The more Li Chuan thought about it, the more reliable he felt.

However, he was not determined.

After all, the matter of "taking Miki Media independent" involves the company structure level, and there are a lot of things involved, so you can't mess around casually. He has to think about it carefully and consider all aspects clearly.

"I know all of what you said."

Li Chuan raised his head and said to Wu Wenfan: "I think about it and I will tell you again afterwards."

"oh."

"You go back first."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, hurry up and go home from get off work. There is still work tomorrow, so don't delay it."

"Oh, OK."

“…”

After Wu Wenfan left, Li Chuan leaned on the back of the chair and thought for a long time.

Then, he picked up his cell phone and called Jiang Zeyu.

The phone rang twice and was connected.

Jiang Zeyu: "Hey."

Li Chuan: "Is your (work) over?"

Jiang Zeyu: "It just ended, what's wrong?"

Li Chuan: "Wu Wenfan just came to see me and told me that he wanted the operation department to move out and change his office space."

Jiang Zeyu: "Hmm? Why?"

Li Chuan: "He said the e-commerce atmosphere here is too strong, which makes the people in their operations department fluctuate and there are many problems in management."

Jiang Zeyu: "Oh... this is indeed a problem. The employees and anchors below are thinking too much, so it will be difficult to lead the team... What do you think?"

Li Chuan: "I think it's OK."

Jiang Zeyu: "Well, I have no objection... They can solve the problem when they move out. Moreover, there are not many workstations on the company. They need to change some locations. It will take more than a year to build the headquarters building. During this period, it is also good to let them move out first and find a place to settle it temporarily."

Li Chuan: "I don't mean that, I mean that I want to take this opportunity to separate Sanmu Media."

Jiang Zeyu: "Hmm?!"

Li Chuan: "That's how I think..."

Li Chuan revealed his thoughts.

After hearing this, Jiang Zeyu was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay to do this... 'Sammu Network' is originally a signboard of live e-commerce and has little to do with entertainment live broadcasts and short videos. Separating Sanmu Media will not have any impact on Sanmu Network."

Li Chuan: "Well, I think so too."

Jiang Zeyu: "Have you thought about the company name?"

Li Chuan: "Not yet, what do you have any opinions?"

Jiang Zeyu: "I don't know much about entertainment live broadcasts and short videos, but I think it should be trendy, right?"

Li Chuan: "Yes."

Jiang Zeyu: "Since it is trendy, the name should be more fashionable."

Li Chuan: "How to be fashionable?"

Jiang Zeyu: "According to the convention, for example... to give an English name?"

Li Chuan: "You can't have English name."

Jiang Zeyu: "Then find some fashion elements, such as modernity, era, etc."

Li Chuan: "Modern Times?"

Jiang Zeyu: "Yes."

Li Chuan: "Modern era...isn't it Chaplin's movie? It's almost a hundred years old. Do you think the movies a hundred years ago... are very fashionable?"

Jiang Zeyu: "Ah? Modern Times...is it a movie?"

Li Chuan: "Why isn't it? I've seen it at home before."

Jiang Zeyu: "Oh, that may be because I was confused. I just said it casually and had no impression, but... the four words "Modern Times" sound quite fashionable. Don't you think?"

Li Chuan: "It's a little bit."

Jiang Zeyu: "It sounds fashionable enough, so let's change it according to this model."

Li Chuan: "How to change it?"

Jiang Zeyu: "The easiest way is to delete two words and replace them with something else. The 'modern era' can retain 'modern era' or 'time'."

Li Chuan: "'Modern' is not good. There was an internet celebrity named 'Modern Brothers'. He was very popular on TikTok and had more than 30 million fans. I still know that person, and he can't get his name into a collision."

Jiang Zeyu: "Oh, then delete the 'modern' and keep the 'era'. What kind of era is also quite fashionable."

Li Chuan: "What era?"

Jiang Zeyu: "You are the boss, you think about it."

Li Chuan: "I want to... the Miki era?"

Jiang Zeyu: "What's the difference between you and not changing it?"

Li Chuan: "Uh, what era is that?"

Jiang Zeyu: "How about...it's called 'Muzi Times'."

Li Chuan: "Muzi era?"

Jiang Zeyu: "Well, aren't your surname Li? If you disassemble the word 'Li', it's 'Muzi'."

Li Chuan: "Oh."

Jiang Zeyu: "What do you think? It sounds okay, right?"

Li Chuan: "It's OK, but will it be exposed again if I use my last name as my name?"

Jiang Zeyu: "No, there are so many people with the surname Li, but I don't know it's you. Moreover, there are not many people who know your real name online, so don't worry."

Li Chuan: "That's right."

Jiang Zeyu is right, there are indeed not many people who know Li Chuan’s real name online.

This was mainly influenced by "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary".

In "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary", Li Chuan's character is called "Wansen".

The name "Wansen" is particularly confusing.

Think about it, a person, whose real name is "Wansen", has given himself an internet celebrity, called "Mr. Sen"... Is this logic particularly reasonable?

Because it is reasonable, it is confusing.

Most viewers who have watched "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" will subconsciously think that Mr. Sen's real name is "Wansen".

"Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" has a very high number of views and has a wide range of people, so a consensus has been formed on the Internet.

Although those fans who know Mr. Sen's real information have begun to popularize "Mr. Sen's real name is not Wansen, but Li Chuan" to all parties, because the time is still short, it has not been completely corrected.

So far, netizens who think Mr. Sen’s real name is “Wansen” still account for the vast majority.

Thinking of this, Li Chuan felt relieved and said, "Okay, it's called 'Muzi Times'."

Jiang Zeyu: "The name is confirmed, where is the person in charge? Do you want Wu Wenfan to be the general manager?"

Li Chuan: "Yu Jie, he has a seniority and good abilities. He is more suitable to be the general manager and Wu Wenfan is the deputy general manager."

Jiang Zeyu: "Isn't Yu Jie... unwilling to do live entertainment broadcasts?"

Li Chuan: "If he doesn't let him do it, he will be responsible for short videos, and Wu Wenfan will be responsible for entertainment live broadcasts."

Jiang Zeyu: "Who is responsible for the coordination?"

Li Chuan: "The two businesses are separated and the finances are independent. Yu Jie and Wu Wenfan report to me respectively."

Jiang Zeyu: "Isn't this equivalent to two companies?"

Li Chuan: "It's almost the same, but they are also connected."

Jiang Zeyu: "How to contact us?"

Li Chuan: "Contact through cooperative means."

Jiang Zeyu: "Was Yu Jie still the general manager doing this?"

Li Chuan: "It's a special matter. He doesn't want to do live broadcasts, so he's willing to do short videos. So according to his wishes, there's no need to force it."

Jiang Zeyu: "Will there be no trouble in this way?"

Li Chuan: "It shouldn't be. Yu Jie is Master Wu Wenfan. They have a good personal relationship and a good cooperation. Generally, there will be no problems."

Jiang Zeyu: "What if something goes wrong?"

Li Chuan: "If there is a problem, adjust it. As long as you discover it early, it will be too late."

Jiang Zeyu paused and said, "I don't think this can be done. This will leave hidden dangers."

Li Chuan: "I know, I don't want to do this, but there is no way. Yu Jie is an old man in the company and has just made achievements. He can't be allowed to stay under Wu Wenfan."

Jiang Zeyu was silent for a moment.

Li Chuan: "Okay, this matter is settled. I will talk to them tomorrow and hold a meeting to study it. I will call you when the time comes."

Jiang Zeyu: "What time?"

Li Chuan: "It's about ten o'clock in the morning."

Jiang Zeyu: "Okay, I understand."

Li Chuan: "Well, then let's do it first."

“…”

After hanging up the phone, Li Chuan shook his head helplessly.

"Oh~."

He sighed, put down his cell phone, then took the lunch box and started having supper.

...

The next morning, Li Chuan called Yu Jie and Wu Wenfan to his office and chatted for half an hour.

After chatting, they summoned the team leaders of the Operations Department and the Short Video Department to go to the conference room and held a meeting.

The meeting lasted for two hours from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.

During this period, they established the planning plan for the "Muzi Era".

Sanmu Media will rename Muzi Times, separate from the Sanmu network system, and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanmu Holdings.

The equity change will be completed within two days, but the equity and personnel information will be hidden. In the future, their external publicity caliber is "The Muzi era was reorganized from Sanmu Media, and the equity structure has undergone major changes, but it still maintains a high level of contact with Sanmu Network."

Muzi Times will adopt a brand new logo logo, and the relevant designs will be handled by the brand department.

In addition, Muzi Times will also look for new office spaces, with the targets tentatively set for landmark office buildings in Hangzhou such as Raffles, China Resources Building, Ocean International Center, and Dixin International Building.
