Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 202: Knowledge of the world is learning, and understanding of human nature is writing

"Mr. Gu, I've heard a lot about you!"

Seeing Gu Heng getting out of the car, Lei Yibin and the company executives came over with smiles on their faces.
Gu Heng also took this opportunity to take a look at the envied CEO of Wuyou Media.
Lei Yibin in front of me is about 1.7 meters tall, bald, and has a big belly.
Some people on the Internet have said that Lei Yibin is not good-looking. When Gu Heng actually saw him, he realized that the evaluation of "not good-looking" was already very high. It was also because of his identity as the boss of Wuyou that he was given a halo. If he was replaced by an ordinary working class born in the 80s, he would be "ugly and greasy".
However, Gu Heng has no habit of judging people by appearance. Judging from his resume alone, Lei Yibin is still very impressive. In just four years, he was able to develop Wuyou Media into the head of Douyin MCN organizations. This ability is beyond doubt.
Gu Heng never underestimates heroes in the world. Even his former boss Zhang Yang, Gu Heng never looked down on him. If it were not for revenge for the grievances he had suffered in the past, he would not be willing to step on Zhang Yang and offend him to death.

The reason is very simple. My current achievements are entirely due to two words: "lucky". I was lucky to activate the system.

To put it bluntly, they are normal players who have reached this level due to their own advantages and skills, while I am just a cheater. In comparison, it is unfair.

As a result, a cheater like me looks down on high-end players. Isn't that too bullying?
Gu Heng is not the kind of male protagonist with a middle school syndrome who thinks about "I am the only one" all day long. He just wants to rely on his plug-ins to enjoy life and live happily.

Thinking of this, Gu Heng also smiled at Lei Yibin in a teasing tone: "Mr. Lei, do you know me? I am a little nervous because of your enthusiasm."

The subtext is also very simple, that is, "There is no intersection between us, and I am not a famous person. You are so enthusiastic that I have to imagine wildly."

Lei Yibin was also a shrewd man. After hearing what Gu Heng said, he was slightly stunned at first, and then he continued to smile and said, "Boss Gu, you are joking. Who doesn't know your current status in the business circle?

The Yangcheng International Circuit was officially started a few days ago. When the list of investors came out, we were shocked. A full 30 billion yuan investment, not to mention the courage, the financial resources alone are enough to make people look up to it. Although Mr. Gu is so young, I don’t think the idiom "young and promising" is appropriate to describe you.

This word is a compliment when used on others, but it seems a bit derogatory when used on you.

I have always wanted to get to know you, but I have limited connections and no way to get in touch with Mr. Gu. Today I finally have the opportunity, and I am grateful to Mr. Gu for giving me this honor."

After a series of words, Gu Heng was a little lost.
Okay, okay.
This guy is indeed a talent. His level of flattery is simply amazing.
And his speaking level is also very high. The Yangcheng International Circuit project and the Geneva Air Show cost 60 billion yuan. Which event allowed Gu Heng to show up the most?
It's undoubtedly the latter.
If a person has low emotional intelligence, he or she may choose the latter to praise others, because this is a common human problem. When praising others, they will definitely choose the best compliments, and when criticizing others, they will choose the most painful points.

But why did Lei Yibin only praise the Yangcheng International Circuit project?
The reason is very simple, because their ways of thinking are different. He is a business person, and if he wants to flatter others, he must do so through business actions. Praising the Yangcheng International Circuit project can not only praise Gu Heng's strong strength, but also praise Gu Heng's courage and business acumen.

But how do you brag about buying two private jets at the Geneva Air Show?
Praising Gu Heng for being rich? Knowing how to spend money? Isn't spending money something that anyone can do?

If you meet a petty person, this flattery may not be close to the relationship between the two, but may even make people feel disgusted.
Although it cannot be denied that some people like this kind of flattery because it can show off their financial strength, for example, most of the rich second-generations who have no ambition like to flatter themselves by boasting about how they have spent money to do something big.

But Gu Heng's public information shows that he is not a rich second-generation. If he really flatters the horse and hits the horse's leg, it would be counterproductive, so Lei Yibin chose the former.

Sometimes it's always right to be more careful.

After all, Gu Heng's status and worth are there. When facing someone who is stronger than himself, it is sometimes not a bad thing to think more.

Gu Heng has come into contact with many people in recent days, from the son of the world's richest man to restaurant waiters. He has dealt with all kinds of people and has gained some knowledge of the ways of the world.

Although he did not think about the twists and turns in Lei Yibin's words, he was very clear about his own feelings.

Because he felt comfortable listening to these words, and could also clearly sense Lei Yibin's kindness.

Insight into world affairs is knowledge, and human feelings are learned.

How could Lei Yibin develop Wuyou Media to its current level in just a few years?
Gu Heng had never seen such business ability, but his art of speaking was absolutely top-notch.

Thinking of this, Gu Heng smiled and said to Lei Yibin: "Boss Lei, please stop praising me. If you continue praising me, I will really lose my way."

"This is not a compliment, it's just a fact."

After saying this, Lei Yibin stopped flattering. He flattered only to give Gu Heng face, but on the surface, the two were still on an equal footing. If he continued to flatter, it would not be social etiquette, but "flattery". Then he ended the topic with a smile and continued, "Boss Gu, let's go in and talk first. The temperature outside is a bit high. It's okay for us old men to bask in the sun, but these girls have delicate skin and can't stand it."

Inadvertently, he brought the topic to the female internet celebrities behind him.
He not only diverted Gu Heng's attention, but also did not show that he was a pimp. He managed to keep his face and his intentions flawless.

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng also turned his gaze to the female internet celebrities behind Lei Yibin.

There are too many internet celebrities on Wuyou's list, a full 10 in total. It is impossible for Gu Heng to know every one of them. Gu Heng cannot even recognize the twenty or thirty of them in front of him. Except for a few top internet celebrities, he cannot name any of the rest.

But no matter what, they have one thing in common.

That's beautiful.

After a quick glance around, Gu Heng focused his attention on the three people.

That is, the three top internet celebrities of Wuyou Media who have tens of millions of fans.

Ms. Cheng, Yumeng, and Liu Siyao.

It must be said that there is a big difference between the online and real life appearances of these three internet celebrities.

Especially "Your Desire Dream" aka Huang Yumeng.

Gu Heng used to often see her on TikTok, but he never appreciated her looks and didn’t understand why so many people liked her. Now when comparing her offline and online, there is a big difference, so he is even more indifferent.

So I just glanced at it briefly and didn't continue.

As for Liu Siyao.
Although she has nearly 20 million fans, and appears to be a great beauty in the retouched videos and photos online, the difference offline is also very large. Although she can barely be considered a beauty, Gu Heng feels that she is inferior to Lin Jiayun and He Jing.

As for why it became popular, most of the credit should be attributed to the marketing of Wuyou Media.

On the contrary, fans sympathize with the youngest one among the three.
Cheng Yuxin, also known as "Ms. Cheng", has a cool short hair and a perfect figure, plump where it should be plump and thin where it should be thin. As for her appearance, it is definitely not that good-looking, at most she is pleasing to the eye.

But her sticky voice and various other factors combined, it should be said that she is still attractive to men, otherwise, even if it is company marketing, she can't become an Internet celebrity with millions of fans. But it's just interest. There are too many beauties of all types that Gu Heng has seen. It's hard for him to fall in love with every one he sees like before. Unless she is so beautiful that she is beyond description, otherwise he will just take a second look at her at most.

After a quick glance, Gu Heng looked away, his face expressionless, and replied to Lei Yibin with a smile: "Then please lead the way, Mr. Lei. I also want to see what the internal situation of the MCN head agency is like, and learn from it."

"Oh, there is no such thing as learning. I was counting on you, Mr. Gu, to give me some pointers."

As they spoke, the two of them walked towards the interior of Wuyou Media Company surrounded by the crowd.

About 40 minutes later.

Under the guidance of Lei Yibin, Gu Heng toured the entire Wuyou Media.

As someone who once worked in the online media industry and had some inside knowledge of the industry, Gu Heng was also surprised by the professionalism of Wuyou Media.

Wuyou Media is a serious demonstration of the word "incubation" in the words "MCN incubation agency".
First, the artists are rated, and the ratings are also based on various aspects.

Those who have talents will be evaluated based on their talents.

Those who go for the appearance route will be rated based on their appearance.

As for other styles, there are more than ten kinds of subdivisions.
Moreover, each type of investment is trained by specialized trainers, and then, just like Korean trainees, they are first sent out to test the waters, and then the investment is graded according to the market convergence.
This series of systems seems to be as precise as a factory assembly line.
They create internet celebrities in batches and then monetize their value.
"Mr. Gu, what do you think of our company?
If you have any suggestions, just tell me, don’t be afraid to slap me in the face! ”

After showing the entire Wuyou Media to Gu Heng, Lei Yibin still had that naive expression on his face.

Gu Heng just smiled faintly when he heard this: "Boss Lei, you are joking. I am just a complete layman. How can I give you any suggestions? But I did learn a lot from this trip today.

No wonder Wuyou Media is so popular in the MCN industry. I guess its professionalism is definitely at the forefront of the industry, right? "

"Hahahaha, Mr. Gu, you think too highly of us. Thank you so much."

Although he said compliments, the smile on his face betrayed his thoughts.

Seeing this, Gu Heng shook his head slightly, and then continued to speak to him: "Now that the tour is over, Mr. Lei, it's time to get down to business, right?"

Before, he had no friendship with Lei Yibin at all. The sudden invitation to him was definitely not just to let him visit the company. Normally, Gu Heng should pretend to be nice, and then the two of them should practice Tai Chi before getting back to the point.

But I also said that it was normal.

Normally it refers to two people of equal status.

Even though Lei Yibin has valued Wuyou Media at over ten billion and has a certain business status, he is not comparable to Gu Heng.

These days, even the value of market value is not high, let alone valuation.

Maybe if there is a new Internet reform policy, Lei Yibin will go bankrupt in an instant.
However, Gu Heng is a big boss in the real estate investment industry with tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of funds. He is a person that countless people want to flatter. Why can Lei Yibin compare with him?

Gu Heng certainly understood the ways of the world, but that was a reflection of the emotional intelligence of a subordinate towards a superior, or between equals.

Gu Heng would show his emotional intelligence when facing Frédéric Arnault and Fu Songyang, but there is no need for that when facing Lei Yibin.

Since ancient times, we have only seen subordinates showing their humanity to their leaders to make their leaders happy.

How many people have seen leaders showing human touch to their subordinates and making them happy?

Of course there are, but that is not the way of the world, that is called "the art of ruling subordinates".

Lei Yibin didn't expect Gu Heng to be so direct, but he was stunned for only a moment before he came to his senses. Then he lowered his tone and said to Gu Heng, "To be honest, Mr. Gu, I do have something I want to discuss with you today.

If Mr. Gu has enough time, can you come to my office and sit down?"

Gu Heng had roughly guessed what this kid was planning, but he didn't refuse and nodded slightly.

Lei Yibin was delighted when he saw this, and quickly told the secretary beside him: "Take Mr. Gu to my office to have a rest!"

After that, he changed his respectful tone and continued to Gu Heng: "Mr. Gu, please go to my office and sit for two minutes. When I was showing you around just now, I found that there was an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with. I will see you as soon as I finish dealing with this matter.

I hope Mr. Gu doesn’t mind.”

Mr. Gu nodded and said lazily, "Then Mr. Lei, please hurry up. I just came back from France today and I'm still a little tired. Don't waste too much of my time."

"Of course."

Gu Heng didn't say much and walked towards Lei Yibin's office under the guidance of his secretary.

He looked at Gu Heng's receding back with a smile on his face, and his originally naive expression immediately became sharp. He turned his head and stared at the group of people behind him with a gloomy look, and said in a cold tone: "Everyone else should go to their own posts and busy themselves with their work.

The director of the artist department and the artists under his management will stay. "

This attitude was completely different from the respect he had shown to Gu Heng just now.

Looking at Lei Yibin's expression, everyone knew that Mr. Lei was really going to get angry this time.
