Star Tycoon

Chapter 89 Warm-up
Tian Ersan's creation of his own website quickly attracted the attention of shopping websites, and soon someone called him.

"Hello, Mr. Tian, ​​I am Rong Guangcun, the vice president of Tencent Group."

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Tian Ersan received a call from the vice president of a large company and responded politely.

I'm actually qualified to exchange personal contact information with the CEOs of several top companies now, but I lack the opportunity to meet them in person.

When discussing business, the vice president is the one who handles it; if there's anything, you can also directly call the other party's CEO.

Rong Guangcun was in his thirties, the prime of his youth when he was working incredibly hard.

I also often feel that I am young and promising.

However, compared to Tian Ersan, he is twice as old and doesn't earn much more money.

What he can be proud of is his education and ability, but his education pales in comparison to his identity as a poet. Tian Ersan is a nationally recognized poet, and what he has is not academic qualifications, but talent.

"Hello Mr. Tian, ​​our group has heard that you plan to establish an online shopping website, so I would like to talk to you about it. If possible, our group would be very willing to invest in it."

Tian Ersan said directly, "I don't have that idea for now. Your company is more suited to making mobile games than shopping websites. There are too many things involved in that."

Rong Guangcun didn't care. As one of the top three internet giants in China, he had huge amounts of money at his disposal. What industry couldn't he get involved in?

"So, how much does Mr. Tian know about shopping websites?" Rong Guangcun asked with a smile.

Tian Ersan was too lazy to explain, "I didn't plan to do this. I just created a website to make it easier to sell goods. Currently, all the external programs can't keep up with my needs, so I want to create a website where people can directly place orders by clicking a link during live streams."

"It's like an online supermarket, selling only things that are easy to transport and ship. In the future, I will build a large supermarket in the area and use a combination of online and offline methods for delivery."

Upon hearing Tian Ersan's words, Rong Guangcun knew that the other party was not considering accepting the investment for the time being.

"Our group is also planning to start live streaming. Mr. Tian, ​​would you be interested in joining us?"

Tian Ersan said directly, "You can acquire the platform I'm on. I personally don't want to sign with anyone, but I also have no plans to switch jobs. Just increase my share of the profits."

"Okay." Rong Guangcun did indeed invest in several live streaming platforms and also signed many streamers with high salaries.

Rong Guangcun asked, "Can we meet and discuss this in detail?"

Tian Ersan: "I've been very busy lately. I'm planning a Pinduoduo sales event on August 8th. I've been busy these past few days. After that, I still need to collect data, receive goods, and send out sales reports. I'll go to Beijing to rest for a few days after August 15th. See you then."

Rong Guangcun readily agreed, "Okay, this is my personal number. If Mr. Tian is free, we can arrange a time in advance."

"it is good."

Tian Ersan hung up the phone.

After everything was settled, Tian Ersan sat in a chair and pondered why he was valued.

Even if one didn't think highly of these vice presidents of large corporations in their past life, they would still acknowledge that these people wielded considerable power.

I was slightly flattered.

Once I calmed down, I realized why they were so highly regarded. Ordinary internet celebrities certainly wouldn't be treated with the same level of politeness and respect, and even celebrities with hundreds of millions in film fees wouldn't have that much influence in their eyes.

Now he is not only an internet celebrity, but also a well-known entrepreneur.

He has an exceptional talent for sales, comes from an honest family with no powerful connections, and is seen by outsiders as a giant who has risen to prominence entirely through his own hard work.

Another advantage is the ability to quickly integrate downstream suppliers. For example, this time, the ability to bring together fifty manufacturers and five express delivery companies into one group is something that the vice president couldn't do.

Having money is one thing, but if others don't value or care about you, it's all for nothing.

No matter how powerful an internet company is, when it clashes with local traditional industries, both public opinion and social oversight will suppress it.

Game companies, in particular, are naturally at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion.

Any celebrity who dares to call on their fans to boycott a company will be blacklisted unless they have incredibly powerful backing.

A food company with annual sales of 3 billion yuan is already a leading enterprise in the region. Such companies don't care about game companies they don't cooperate with, nor do they have the money to advertise recklessly.

Tencent can't handle these kinds of businesses, but Tian Ersan can get the general managers and chairmen of these physical companies involved.

If food companies were to choose, they would definitely choose Tian Er San, not some internet giant.

Tian Er San, which is able to integrate many leading food groups, has long surpassed those internet giants in regional influence.

After figuring out why the other party was being so polite to him, Tian Ersan continued to immerse himself in his work.

While Tian Ersan was researching, Zhang Shuya next to him received a phone call.

Not long after, Zhang Shuya walked up behind Tian Ersan.

The air-conditioned room was cool and refreshing. Zhang Shuya smelled of perfume and shampoo. When she stood next to Tian Ersan, the scent emanating from her skirt and hair quickly drew his attention to her.

"Boss." Zhang Shuya's voice wasn't as direct as before; perhaps from talking to young women for so long, her voice had become a bit husky.

Tian Ersan casually said, "Just say what you need to say."

Zhang Shuya was not only Tian Ersan's employee, but also his cohabitant.

People in small towns are very accepting of mistresses, and in some places there are even well-known "mistress neighborhoods."

Zhang Shuya is not a mistress; what mistress has to do housework?

She should be considered a working secretary, but due to her education and abilities, she is currently a customer service representative, not a secretary.

"Someone just called and said they wanted to talk business with you. They said they were the owner of a cannery in the county." Tian Ersan didn't care about such things at all. "Just say you're busy. You only cooperate with big-name manufacturers now."

"Yes," Zhang Shuya quickly returned to her seat to reply.

Although he had long harbored the intention to support local canneries and sunflower seed factories, Tian Ersan did not express it directly.

That would only lead to being scammed.

Merchants in a county town won't give you preferential treatment just because you're from the same county; on the contrary, they'll try every means to take advantage of you.

Sometimes when doing business with people from other places, you can actually restrain yourself and follow the rules, but when doing business with your own people, all sorts of messy things can easily happen.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door.

"boss."

"Enter."

Duan Tingting quickly walked in and then closed the door behind her.

"Boss, I've already prepared the payroll spreadsheet. You can just send a payslip when it's time to pay salaries."

Duan Tingting came over to report on her work; for most people here, verifying their salaries was very simple.

It's not as simple as just three full-time employees; we need to calculate their salaries, social security contributions, housing provident fund contributions, and so on.

Fortunately, there were only three people, so it wasn't too complicated to calculate.

The rest of the people will receive cash directly at the time, and it will all be in whole numbers, without any extra procedures.

Tian Ersan took the printed slip of paper, looked at it, and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, payroll verification is just the most basic thing. Try to record and verify your daily income and expenses."

"Also, ask around about invoices, learn about invoices in advance, issue and verify sales invoices and purchase invoices, and manage VAT special invoices and ordinary invoices."

"Take your time. Once you've mastered the daily finances, taxes, and financial statements, you can be promoted to a permanent position ahead of schedule after you pass the accounting certificate exam."

Duan Tingting nodded and said, "Yes, boss! Thank you, boss!"

Being promoted ahead of schedule is a good thing; Duan Tingting likes this kind of encouraging boss.

It was still very sunny outside around 5 p.m.

Tian Ersan started his live stream.

At this moment, he was wearing a cheap T-shirt with the words "one, two, three" printed on it, and the four characters "self-improvement" written in a flamboyant style on the back.

This piece of clothing only costs twelve or thirteen yuan, which is affordable for most families. Tian Ersan's character remains that of a clean and refreshing poor boy.

Zhou Shanshan was standing to Tian Ersan's left.

Wang Linlin is rather shy about speaking, but Zhou Shanshan happened to have appeared during a previous live stream, and since Wang Linlin is not shy, she became the live stream assistant.

In terms of looks, Zhou Shanshan is indeed prettier than Wang Linlin.

Wang Linlin mainly has an obedient and well-behaved temperament, and her breasts are also well-developed. She has a strange appearance that is most attractive when she is young and has no makeup or dressing up.

"Hello everyone, today's venue is outdoors. Because of the lack of 4G network and smartphones, as well as the fact that the website does not yet provide technical support for mobile live streaming, we have used equipment from a TV station to piece together an outdoor live stream."

"Based on my current understanding and prediction of the information industry, a broad road to technological advancement will likely be paved next year, and the crazy and rapid development of online live streaming should be a thing of the next two or three years."

"This is a conservative estimate. If things go smoothly, it should be ready around next year. Let's all wait patiently."

"Today I'm going to show you my new car. It cost 90,000 yuan. I've already learned to drive and my driver's license will be ready soon. Let me show you my driving skills."

Tian Ersan quickly got into the car and drove off. Under the camera's lens, he drove smoothly through the yard for five minutes before successfully reversing into a parking space with cars on both sides.

"Alright, my driving skills are pretty good, right?"

The driver's license is already being processed; in reality, entrepreneurs like Tian Ersan don't need a driver's license.

"Because you can't see the comments in the live stream, there's no way to interact with the audience. I'll be holding a low-price online shopping live stream event on August 8th, where I'll be offering a limited-time selection of affordable products from reputable manufacturers."

"For example, instant noodles, bottled water, beverages, various canned goods, sausages, spicy snacks, etc. If you live with your parents, you can ask them to come and take a look, which can help save money for the family. All products are guaranteed to be produced by reputable manufacturers that you know, and definitely not small workshops!"

“I get the goods directly from the manufacturer, and I only earn 50 cents per order to cover expenses such as advertising endorsements, sales promotion, communication and negotiation, and marketing planning.”

"At 6 PM on August 8th! The 123 Stocking Festival officially begins!"

"All products are guaranteed to be affordable and authentic, delivered directly to your door!"

"There are only ten days left until August 8th! All the manufacturers are working overtime to prepare goods, ensuring they are fresh and first-hand! They are all major domestic brands!"

"Good quality at a low price, affordable. For more details, please visit my website. Shanshan, here's the address!"

Zhou Shanshan quickly posted the URL in the computer live streaming room; the live streaming equipment had already been moved from the office to the outdoors.

In the future, it will become even more professional, with live broadcasts going directly to the factory.

Zhou Shanshan and her colleagues were assistants, from lighting technicians to handing things over, as well as script supervisors, directors, technicians, stage managers, data analysts, makeup artists, scriptwriters... basically a small film crew.

Tian Ersan is an actor.

If this team is trained, they can directly transition to film and entertainment in the future.
