Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

Lin Yi said angrily: "Liang, don't try to be clever. Use your cleverness on studying and get more subsidies, right?"

"You guys were just starting out as a band, so it's normal for you to put in more effort. Now that everything about the band is stable, don't just focus on the music. Got it?"

Liang pursed his lips, and ripples appeared in his golden eyes.

Liang really doesn't like others interfering with his thoughts, even if it's under the banner of care and love.

But now, facing Lin Yi's words of urging, she not only did not feel uncomfortable, but felt that Lin Yi was right and he was doing it for her own good.

"Ah."

Liang lowered his head and responded softly.

Lin Yi walked out of the office with Liang, who pleaded guilty and accepted punishment.

Liang raised his head and looked at Hongxia with resentment: "If Hongxia doesn't treat me to a meal, I won't forgive you."

"Hmm."

Hong Xia responded perfunctorily a few times, and then said to Lin Yi seriously: "Lin Yi, regarding the previous fund plan, I have written it and put it on your desk."

Lin Yi nodded: "I understand, but I have some things to do these days, so I will be able to give you an answer in about a week. But don't worry, Hongxia, our firm will definitely continue to do such a meaningful thing!"

Hong Xia nodded, with a look of information on her face: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

She was already very happy that Lin Yi was willing to actually implement this matter, and would not ask for anything more.

Hongxia dragged the depressed Liang away.

Lin Yi let out a breath slowly. Although ending the band and MYGO's current size, even if some people's band activities were temporarily stopped, it would not have much impact on the band itself, but it was still a good start.

Just as Lin Yi was about to go back to the office to tidy up his messy desk, Xiangzi came over holding a folder.

"Lin Yi, I have something to report to you about work."

Xiangzi followed Lin Yi into the office.

Looking at the messy desk, Xiangzi asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

Lin Yi simply recounted what had just happened.

Xiangzi smiled.

In fact, she had always thought that Liang should be the type of person with good grades, but unfortunately the reality was completely different from what she imagined.

"It's a very cool style."

Xiangzi gave a simple comment and handed the folder to Lin Yi: "It's like this..."

"Wait a minute, Xiangzi, let me tell you two important things first."

Lin Yi interrupted Xiangzi and said seriously: "Starting from today, SPACE will be closed every Monday, and the band's revenue will be increased by 10% on the original basis. And at Kuiqian Pavilion, no matter how many people have made reservations, one seat must be left for each project, and then a private room must be reserved for me."

This cycle is absolutely hellish for Lin Yi.

In order to successfully get through this difficult time, Lin Yi must pay attention to every detail and do everything he can to the best of his ability!

In other words, gone are the days when he was in charge of the overall situation! Now he has to take charge of everything himself and start micromanaging!

As for the principles to be followed, it is still those four big words, "reduce sources of income and reduce expenditure"!

Xiangzi asked in confusion: "Why? SPACE and Kuiqian Pavilion are both operating very well, and are fully booked every day, which can bring huge profits to the firm."

"Look, Xiangzi, you've fallen into a misconception again, haven't you?"

Lin Yi grabbed Xiangzi's hand and chuckled, saying, "I've said it so many times, our firm's first goal is not to make a profit!"

Xiangzi is nominally Lin Yi's assistant, but in fact it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the vice president of Xingyun Office.

Xiangzi is very trustworthy at work and does things perfectly, but for Lin Yi, perfection is precisely the biggest imperfection.

Lin Yi decided to take advantage of this opportunity to form a band and remove Xiangzi from the assistant position on the grounds that she needed to focus her energy on the band.

He will not appoint new assistants, but will instead prepare to take the field and start micro-managing.

Only by personally taking control of all matters, big and small, in the firm can you eliminate unstable factors to the greatest extent possible.

After all, among so many people in the firm, he is the only one whose goal is to lose money... The only person he can trust is himself!

However, before actually putting it into practice, he still had to find a way to convince Xiangzi.

"Our SPACE focuses on high-end and comprehensive services, so in order to maintain the brand image and live up to the trust of the old store manager, it is necessary to close the store one day a week to do deep cleaning and debug equipment."

Lin Yi said seriously: "Besides, closing for one day a week can also deepen users' memory and help them develop a habit."

“It’s the same with increasing the income of the band. Livehouse and the band complement each other. Giving profits to the band means creating more profits for SPACE!”

What Lin Yi said made sense to a certain extent, but when it comes to practice, especially when it comes to SPACE, it is completely different.

SPACE is currently operating at full capacity.

To put it more clearly, SPACE has reached its revenue peak. Unless the store scale is expanded or new stores are opened, the revenue will not increase in any way.

Based on this, going back to Lin Yi's words, whether it is closing for a day or giving concessions to the band, it is essentially reducing the store's income, which means reducing the source of income!

"As for Kuiqian Pavilion... there's no big reason. It's just that I, a president, have to make a reservation to eat! Is this reasonable? Not at all!"

Lin Yi said indignantly: "It's okay if I am wronged, but you must not let anyone in the office be wronged!"

-

PS: I was focusing on the monthly ticket issue all day today, so I only wrote 7k.

As an apology, this chapter of 3k words is only counted as one chapter.

126

Chapter 126: We must cut ties with the Nebula Office!

"The value of Kuiqian Pavilion, in addition to making profits for the firm, is to take on the task of caring for the physical and mental health of the firm's employees!"

"If our own people can't even go to rest, then we might as well just close down Kuiqian Pavilion!"

Lin Yi had a serious expression and was speaking with great vigor, as if he was doing something extremely important.

That's right, that's it.

Lin Yi was seeking benefits for the firm's employees. He was definitely not anxious because Kuiqian Pavilion was performing so well, and he was definitely not doing it for his own selfish desires!

A smile appeared on Xiangzi's face, and there was a hint of pampering and understanding in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yi.

"Yeah, I know~"

She almost fell into misunderstanding again. Lin Yi and the Nebula Office have always been like this. She had to support and help him.

Seeing this, Lin Yi squeezed Xiangzi's little hand and said softly: "Let's go to your house for dinner tonight?"

A gleam of light flashed in Xiangzi's amber eyes.

When she sent a message to Lin Yi this morning, his reply was to see the situation.

"Who cooks in your family? Uncle or you, Xiaoxiang?"

Lin Yi asked curiously: "Although my cooking is delicious, you two won't let me cook, right? I'm a guest!"

"I'll cook for you!"

Xiangzi glared at Lin Yi in dissatisfaction, and then warned him in advance: "Even if it doesn't taste good, you must never tell anyone!"

In the four months since she left the Toyokawa family, she has evolved from the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family to Xiaoxiang, who is good at housework.

But being all-round is limited to being useful. Her cooking skills are not strong, and are far worse than Lin Yi's.

Lin Yi shook his head seriously and corrected himself: "How could I think it tastes bad? As long as it's made by you, Xiaoxiang, I love it!"

Obviously, these are very old-fashioned and outdated love words. If those experienced love veterans heard them, they would be so embarrassed that they would get goose bumps. But for a pure and beautiful girl like Xiangzi, they are still very lethal.

But the most important thing is that the person who said this was Lin Yi.

Xiangzi glanced at Lin Yi with a somewhat confused look, then quickly retracted his gaze, and with a slightly red cheek, he distanced himself from Lin Yi.

The girl changed the subject in an unnatural tone and said, "Lin Yi, didn't we invite SUMIIM as a guest for the live show the day before yesterday?"

"The outside world seemed to see the effect and thought it was a signal, so they took the initiative to contact us."

"Some want to collaborate with us to host a live show, some want to come as a guest, and some want to invite us as a guest..."

The topic returned to the folder that Xiangzi brought.

Lin Yi listened to Xiangzi's story and opened the folder.

What was listed above was nothing but the names of entertainment companies, agencies and studios sorted out by Xiangzi, as well as the other party's demands.

SUMIMI's office is also inside.

Lin Yi even saw Roselia and RAS in it.

It’s not enough to mess up SPACE, but now he has to chase him to the door to disgust him!

That’s good enough!

Looking at the densely packed names in front of him, Lin Yi felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

The boomerang that was thrown in the past flew back again and hit him right in the middle of his eyebrows.

When Lin Yi invited SUMIMI as a guest in order to increase Chu Hua's popularity, the reason he gave was to get some "friends out" to increase the firm's influence in the industry.

Now, what reason does he have to refuse? After all, this is a mutually beneficial thing.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi chose to throw the question back: "Xiangzi, do you have any opinion on this matter?"

Listen to what Xiangzi says first and see if you can find something useful from her words.

Xiangzi looked at Lin Yi and quickly thought of what he had just said: "Xingyun Firm does not take profit as its primary goal."

Lin Yi was testing her, right? Testing whether she had listened to him and understood the purpose of the firm.

Well, that must be the case!

If it were Lin Yi...what would he say?

Xiangzi thought for a moment, then combined his own thoughts and said: "Lin Yi, I think given the current size of our firm, it is better to be cautious."

"Accepting cooperation from everyone will not only fail to build a better image for the band, but will also lower the level and reputation of the band."

"Besides that, everyone in the firm is in school and is usually busy, so they don't have that much time and energy to deal with collaborations."

"I think we just need to choose a few partners who have both strength and reputation."

Lin Yi listened to Xiangzi's analysis and looked thoughtful.

The reasons she listed were also relatively reasonable explanations that Lin Yi could think of.

In the end, we should start from the two major directions: word of mouth and humanization.

However, Lin Yi’s focus was not on the cooperation, but on what Xiangzi said.

Given the current size of Nebula Office, we need to be cautious in what we do.

Xiangzi was right. The current Nebula Office is no longer the unknown entity it once was. Its every move will attract attention from the outside world.

When MYGO debuted, it would have been impossible for them to gain so much attention if Lin Yi had not taken the initiative to spend a lot of money on pre-promotion.

But if the new band led by Xiangzi debuts at Nebula Agency, it will naturally receive a lot of attention.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and he felt as if he had found a solution to the problem.

Get a new vest!

With the breakthrough from zero to one, all kinds of ideas popped up in people's minds like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, making people feel excited and very excited.

"Xiangzi, you are right. It is exactly what I think!"

Lin Yi said to Xiangzi approvingly, and then made a quick arrangement: "So, for now, we will only cooperate with SUMIMI, and find reasons to reject others."

"Yeah, I know...wait, it's just SUMIMI?! What about Roselia and RAS?"

Just as Xiangzi was about to agree, he realized what Lin Yi was talking about and made a surprised sound.

Lin Yi explained: "Because there are many bands who want to cooperate with us, who have strength and reputation, so we have room to choose."

"SUMIMI has already cooperated with us. We will continue to cooperate with them, and the outside world will not find fault. As for the others... we must hold the initiative in our own hands, and it will not be too late to contact them when there is a need."

Chuhua must be promoted, but as for Roselia and RAS, get as far away from me as possible!

Moreover, such a strong and cold attitude can also leave a bad impression on the outside world.
