Love? I'm reborn and I just want to get rewards

Chapter 199: Suffocated by Dreams

When we arrived at the school gate, everyone said goodbye to each other.

Su Huai asked the driver to wait for a moment, then went back to the dormitory, hurriedly packed his things, and turned around to Changqing Building.

Today is Thursday. It would be best if I could pay Si Bohan a business visit at L'Oréal tomorrow, and then make an appointment to have a private chat on Saturday.

Once it is delayed until next week, which is November, the guild's existing manpower will be concentrated on the annual celebration of Dog Star, and it may be too late to discuss a specific plan with L'Oreal.

Su Huai vaguely remembered that Meiwan's BA competition was held before the end of 2016, and time was running out.

When I arrived at the company, Cheese was already waiting at the elevator door on the 6th floor.

"Let's go to the temporary office area and chat."

Su Huai waved his hand to stop the other party from trying to please him, and quickly walked towards the reception area which was already taking shape.

After sitting down, he gave an order directly: "Help me prepare the following materials - copies of the company's industrial and commercial materials, an overview of the financial situation, an overview of the business situation, a development plan, a profile of the management team, existing bloggers and promotion plans, anchor positioning and ratings..."

The cheese people were confused, they couldn’t remember it, they couldn’t remember it at all!

But he was quick-witted and immediately opened his notebook: "Assistant Su, we are currently short of a lot of things. Please make an outline and I will try my best to find them. If there are not enough, I will find a way."

Su Huai didn't want to make things difficult for him, but wanted to get things done, so he sat down and typed out a document.

He simply explained, "I am going to meet with the CEO of L'Oreal Asia Pacific. The above information is used to demonstrate the company's strength. The other party may not take it seriously, but we must have a correct attitude and prepare to the best of our ability."

"I go!"

Cheese's eyes widened, and he started to flatter her: "Boss Su is awesome! He was able to take down the big boss of L'Oreal, his connections are simply amazing! Didn't he just grab the deal?"

I don't know if this guy learned this from Pei Shuyu, but now he is very good at getting emotional and he is not bad at doing his job.

Su Huai shook his head and smiled: "Don't rush to open the champagne, it hasn't worked yet... Meiwan is harder to deal with than you expected."

Cheese was stunned: "You have already dealt with the CEO of L'Oreal, how can that small company handle it?"

"Meiwan is indeed not very big, and is even far smaller than us, but..."

Su Huai finally told Cheese the truth. He had not told him before because he was afraid that he would lose his fighting spirit.

"…In L'Oreal's strategy, Meiwan is a link that is difficult to bypass, and it has unique resource advantages. Didn't you find out? Meiwan's investors have Ali's background."

"Fuck! No wonder!"

Cheese understood instantly and slapped his thigh hard.

"I wonder why L'Oreal is not very enthusiastic about us? This is what relationships are like... Then what should we do?"

Su Huai spread his hands and said, "First, we should try to win the favor of L'Oreal, and then we should try to win the newly established live broadcast department of Taobao. Isn't it enough to take both of them?"

"Arrogant!"

Cheese gave a thumbs up, not doubting that Su Huai was bragging.

If he can get an appointment with the big boss of L'Oreal, then it shouldn't be a big problem to get the head of Taobao's live broadcast department, right?
It's a nice idea, but actually... none of them are easy to do.

Otherwise, Su Huai would not be so cautious and rush over to make comprehensive preparations.

“L’Oréal is going to launch a BA online celebrity project, and the main platform is Taobao Live. Apart from there, there is no other platform that can convert fans into purchasing power. So if we want to convince L’Oréal to cooperate with us, we must show huge and unique advantages.

You go prepare the materials, and I'll think about how to write the speech."

Cheese immediately started to get busy. Su Huai personally drafted the document and prepared to make it into a PPT.

Later, it became popular online to mock Jia Xiazhou as the "PPT God of War". But strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with PPT itself. PPT is a very intuitive and important means to promote a company and publicize its ideas to business partners or investors.

Being good at using PPT to deceive people is a skill, not a mistake.

But if there is only PPT but no execution, then the company will definitely not go far.

In the end, of course, the investors will be suffocated along with them.

Su Huai didn’t have much experience in making PPTs in his previous life, but after his IQ was raised, he was able to do everything with ease.

"For Xingyu Guild itself, we want to highlight that it is a start-up but has rich industry experience."

Su Huai was instructing Cheese to find the content while drawing a chart.

“Why do we need to focus on startups?”

Cheese did not hesitate to ask questions and performed his supporting role task very well.

Su Huai explained: "If the company is small, then the start-up is a weakness, and we need to find ways to avoid it when promoting it. But our Xingyu is big enough now, with a registered capital of 1 million, 5400 square meters of office space, 5000 million in rent, and 1.38 million in cash flow... Huh? There is a lot of money in the account recently?"

Cheese nodded: "Yes, Yu Yu's transaction has been settled with the platform and is currently in the account. I am making a tax return for her."

“Don’t get shady with taxes.”

Su Huai gave a simple reminder and then continued the previous topic.

“A startup with a clear track and large investment can actually boost the confidence of its partners, because startups often mean passion, fighting spirit, vitality, and rapid development, and large investments represent the determination and confidence of shareholders and management teams. Therefore, we must show our own positioning and philosophy at the beginning…”

With a crackling sound, Su Huai typed a line of words on the document, which served as the title of the entire PPT -

Xing Yu: A disruptor determined to rewrite the industry ecosystem.

While adding pictures, praising... ugh, ugh, while describing.

"The slogan cannot be empty, it must be followed up with vision and strategy. The vision is what the specific form of the industry will look like when we achieve our goals, and the strategy is the steps we will take to reach that result."

When Cheese saw Su Huai write those key words on the second page, he was shocked.

Incubate Internet celebrities? (NO!)
Incubation partner! (√)
Instruct the anchor? (NO!)
Inspire the anchor! (√)

Gather together to form a guild? (NO!)
Sharing creates an ecosystem, which in turn becomes a platform! (√)

Cheese stared blankly at Su Huai as he displayed his wisdom and literary talent. His head was buzzing and he felt like the blood in his heart was pumping upward like crazy. He couldn't wait to follow Assistant Su and work hard to realize his grand blueprint.

"I'll find the information for you right away!"

Cheese Ka stood at attention, passionately: "If they are not sure, I will go and check it for you myself!"

So, the two of them worked together until late at night, and finally, with Su Huai's guidance and Cheese's full cooperation, they came up with a development outline for Xingyu Entertainment that would confuse anyone.

This thing can't even be called a presentation book, because it is basically for internal use and not external use, and it is high-end and not low-end. It is not used to find investors, but is a corporate bible that only strategic partners and senior bloggers can read.

To speak human language - well, only fool your own people and don't publicize it in a big way.

Because Gou Huai has put a lot of new conceptual words that will become popular in the future, as well as quite a lot of predictive analyses that seem unreliable at first glance but are actually quite possible upon closer inspection.

Therefore, it combines trendiness and courage, and it has a grand vision at first glance.

Su Huai could say bluntly that if he took this thing to ask Jia for investment next week, he would get hundreds of millions in a minute, and then give himself a position as LeTV's senior vice president, and take himself to exhibitions around the world. Family members, who understands the value of two big liars joining forces?

Cheese carried Su Huai alone, but he became confused halfway through. If it were another idealist, he would have risked his life.

After finishing the PPT, Su Huai picked up his bag and went straight to the airport in Cheese’s car.

I took a night flight straight to Shanghai, and when I arrived at Jing'an, I looked up the address and found the intersection of Nanjing West Road and Changde Road. I looked up and saw Parkview Plaza.

L'Oréal China's headquarters is here. There is a Grade A office building below and a hotel above.

Su Huai didn't bother to choose and directly checked into the Puli Hotel and fell asleep.

It was almost 3:8 when I went to bed, and I woke up before o'clock. After a quick shower, I felt full of energy.

Being young is good...ah, no, being in good physical condition is good.

He only had 5 hours of rest, but after getting up his mind was not confused and his thinking was as active as usual. He even rehearsed his meeting speech and the details of his speech while having breakfast.

When he returned to the room, the waiter had already ironed the suit he brought. Su Huai chose a classic white shirt to match it. He did not wear a tie, but unbuttoned the top button. Then he tied a wide Hermès crocodile leather belt and put on a Patek Philippe starry sky watch. Finally, he put his hair back and sprayed it with a proper amount of styling water.

With this preparation, a young, handsome, and dazzlingly sharp young hero is immediately created.

Looking at himself in the floor-length mirror, Su Huai suddenly realized that his eyebrows were too sharp, so he lengthened them a little more.

His eyebrows are long, black and thick, and each one is positioned just right, as if they have been carefully trimmed. But in fact, this is just my brother's bare face.

Su Huai smiled at himself in the mirror and raised his hand to greet him: "Hello, handsome guy!"

The handsome guy in the mirror showed his white teeth and responded with the same enthusiasm: "You too, you're even more handsome!"

Wow, I’m in such a good mood!

Su Huai glanced at the appearance value which had stabilized at 95 points on the panel, and felt that it would be very difficult to get it to 99 points. But now, although this face was not perfect enough, it was enough for him to please himself.

To be honest, in his previous life, he never dared to dream of himself being so handsome.

Now, no matter what others think, Gou Huai likes it very much.

When he doesn’t smile, he looks like John Lone; when he smiles slyly, he looks like Edison Chen; when he smiles warmly, he looks like Baek Gu when he just debuted. What else do you want?
Looking at this slicked-back hair and suit look, even Zhang Jin would tremble when he comes, wondering who is the boss guarding the level.

Calculating the time, Su Huai stared at the mirror and dialed the number.

"Boss Si? Hello, I'm Su Huai."

Su Huai paused deliberately, waiting for the other party's reaction.

Logically speaking, when you take the initiative to seek cooperation with others and get the other party's number through a middleman, you should give a complete self-introduction when you call them. The most important thing is "who introduced me?"

But Su Huai deliberately stopped here to test the other party's attitude.

For example, can the other party remember who you are in an instant just by looking at your name?

For example, whether the other party is willing to release more positivity and initiative to express goodwill.

For example, the way the other party responds... and so on.

The more information you find out, the more beneficial it will be for subsequent negotiations.

Si Bohan may not have thought about it so much, or he may have attached too much importance to Gu Tongshu. In short, he reacted in an instant and showed great enthusiasm.

"Ah! Hello, Mr. Su. Hello, I'm Si Bohan. Mr. Gu has already mentioned your case to me, but I don't know what it is exactly. When would it be convenient for us to discuss your case in detail? I'm always available to cooperate."

Si Bohan gave a long speech right at the start, so Su Huai immediately realized that Gu Tongshu's deterrent power was even stronger than expected, so he could be more assertive as appropriate.

This subtle difference may very likely determine the final outcome.

Of course, because the content of the cooperation involves L'Oréal's important strategy, it needs to be discussed slowly later, and it cannot be accomplished by relying on Gu Tongshu's pressure.

Su Huai also realized that Si Bohan's Chinese was very good. Although his accent was a bit heavy, his expression of meaning was very precise, which made things easier.

"I'm in Shanghai, upstairs from your company. Would it be convenient for me to visit you?"

Su Huai spoke concisely and to the point. His tone was polite, but his attitude was just the right amount of strong.

"Ah! That's certainly convenient! I'll pick you up at the door. Our company is on the 11th floor..."

"You're too polite. There's really no need. I'll visit you in your office!"

After the conversation was over, Su Huai picked up his bag and took the elevator downstairs.

When we reached the 11th floor, a white female secretary was already waiting at the door. When she saw Su Huai, she didn't dare to recognize him.

Whose important guest is as handsome as a male model?
Su Huai had to take the initiative to speak: "I have an appointment with President Si, my last name is Su."

The secretary was startled and hurriedly led him in.

That's about it at L'Oreal's headquarters. Its biggest feature is that there are a lot of women. There is an exhibition area with various products on display.

Su Huai took a quick look and actually recognized a few of them.

HR Helena's little green bottle and white bandage, YSL Saint Laurent's lipstick set, and surprisingly, Giorgio Armani - isn't this a brand that makes suits? It even has perfume?

The rough man Su Huai felt that he was surrounded by women's products, but fortunately the CEO's office was not far away, and soon he met the helmsman of L'Oreal China.

Si Bohan was actually waiting not far from the office door, and came up to me and gave me a warm hug.

"Oh my God! Mr. Su, are you a Chinese male star or supermodel? You are more handsome than Apollo!"

Si Bohan is a very tall middle-aged man. If he were to insult the law on a daily basis, he would look a bit like Loki.

Su Huailai did his homework before coming here and found some very interesting information - just this year, the former president of the China region, Bei Hanqing, was replaced by Si Bohan, but President Bei did not get promoted, but stayed in Shanghai and continued to be responsible for the Asia-Pacific business.

Now that the new president has arrived, how will he be responsible? What will he be responsible for?
There are several senior leaders in the same situation, such as the global president of L'Oréal Paris and the president of L'Oréal Hong Kong. They were all former veterans and were suddenly appointed to "another important position" this year. In fact, they made way for the new generation without making any mistakes.

Su Huai didn't ask Gu Tongshu what was going on, he guessed it himself.

Digital strategy.

The L'Oréal Group has begun an overall transformation, embracing the new era and conducting more explorations and attempts. The BA internet celebrity transformation is the product of this strategy.

Therefore, it can be understood that Si Bohan is a new generation of the group, a transformation faction, who came to China with the transformation will of the entire group and is a radical who wants to actively promote the digital strategy.

For Su Huai, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The downside is that when it comes to fundamental interests, Si Bohan will not give in. The enthusiasm he shows now will be superficial, and Gu Tongshu's face-saving fruit will be of little use.

The good thing is that if Su Huai can fool him, then Meiwan’s Ahri background will no longer be an unbreakable barrier.

and so……

It's time to let him suffocate his dreams!
