Chapter 388 The Conflict between Yang Chaoyue and Jiang Zeyu

Author: No wine on the table

Li Chuan introduced the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Jiang Zeyu was silent for a moment and said, "I understand. You called me just to ask me to negotiate with the Shouweida of Wenlan Culture, right?"

Li Chuan: "Well, he asked for the price too high, and he only asked for 200 million. I talked with him for a while and cut 20 million... 180 million, it's still not good. You go and talk to him again. If you have time, go to his company to inspect it and try to reduce the price."

Jiang Zeyu: "How much did you press?"

Li Chuan: "It is better to be within 100 million, or 100 million, which is acceptable."

Jiang Zeyu was silent again when he heard this.

Li Chuan: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Jiang Zeyu: "I think... it's a bit high."

Li Chuan: "Hmm?"

Jiang Zeyu: "You just said that Yang Chaoyue will not be able to do live streaming and sell goods until June 2020. At that time, the industry will change a lot, and she may not be able to do it... If she can't do it, our 100 million will be wasted."

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look down at Yang Chaoyue.

Yang Chaoyue's face looked very ugly.

She was right next to her, and it was very close to her, and the phone was quite loud. She could hear clearly what Jiang Zeyu said.

Li Chuan was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything. He could only reach out and touch the other person's face to show comfort, and then continued to say to the phone: "I know what you said, you don't have to worry too much. Yang Chaoyue's basic position is very stable. It will be difficult to get the top spot in doing live streaming next year, but it is still okay to occupy a place... As long as she can occupy a place and insist on doing it, she will definitely be able to recover the cost in the future."

Jiang Zeyu: "What if she can't hold on?"

Li Chuan: "Hmm?"

Jiang Zeyu: "I'm afraid that if she does it for a while, she will choose to give up because of problems such as not doing well enough and poor public opinion? Or reduce the frequency of live broadcasts, and broadcast them one in a month or even a few months..."

Li Chuan curled his lips and interrupted, "How can you think so?"

Jiang Zeyu: "When I was at Goldman Sachs, I had contacted celebrities in the entertainment industry. According to my observations, celebrities in the entertainment industry have low overall cultural literacy and have defects in their personality. They are like a group of spoiled children, with many requirements, low efficiency, no execution ability, and difficult to communicate, and their emotions are particularly unstable. For them, it is difficult to stick to one thing to the end."

"Well."

Li Chuan looked down at Yang Chaoyue again.

Yang Chaoyue's face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, and a "fier light" flashed in his eyes, as if he was about to explode at any time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Chuan quickly explained: "You are generalizing it from a single point. What you have contacted before should be those young and handsome guys, right?"

Jiang Zeyu: "Yes."

Li Chuan: "Those young and handsome guys do have such problems, but they are only part of entertainment stars and cannot represent the entire entertainment industry... Many celebrities in the entertainment industry have gone from being unknown to being famous. In the middle, they have suffered a lot of criticism. Being able to survive means that their ability to withstand pressure is still very good."

Jiang Zeyu: "You are right, but how do you guarantee that Yang Chaoyue is such a person?"

Li Chuan: "You may not know Yang Chaoyue very much... She is from a rural area and worked hard in society very early. She has also been an internet celebrity before... Although her cultural level is not high, she has endured hardships and fatigue, and has certain social experience, has good cognition and stress resistance. It is different from those young and handsome guys who are 'spoiled'."

Jiang Zeyu: "Is that true?"

Li Chuan: "What did I lie to you?"

Jiang Zeyu: "Oh, if that's the case, that's OK."

Yang Chaoyue's expression was slightly slower when he heard this.

Li Chuan also smiled.

But then, Jiang Zeyu spoke again: "However, I still think that 100 million is too much."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Chaoyue's face became ugly again, and the smile on Li Chuan's face disappeared instantly.

Jiang Zeyu didn't know this and continued: "Yang Chaoyue can only engage in live streaming and selling goods after June 2020, and the expected return rate is not high... In this case, if the cost can be controlled below 50 million, it can be operated, but it is no longer necessary for 100 million. I don't recommend you to do this."

Li Chuan was a little afraid to look at Yang Chaoyue.

He turned his body, avoided Yang Chaoyue's gaze, and then said to the phone: "You can't say that. The contract between Yang Chaoyue and Wen Lan Culture will not end until 2026. In this case, there are still seven years left... Seven years, even if she doesn't do live streaming and sells goods, she can only film movies, receive advertisements, record variety shows, etc., she can still make the money back."

Jiang Zeyu: "Not necessarily. As far as I know, the life cycle of idol stars is relatively short. Yang Chaoyue may have been popular in the past two years. After this period, she will be no more popular and traffic. At that time, she may not be able to make a penny and will have to pay the company."

Just as Li Chuan was about to speak, he suddenly noticed a sound of restlessness coming from beside him.

He quickly turned around, hugged Yang Chaoyue in his arms, made a silence gesture, and continued: "You underestimate her, her audience is very popular. As long as we operate with our hearts, she will not be so out of breath."

Jiang Zeyu: "How to operate with care? Our main business is live e-commerce, and we are engaged in the Internet celebrity industry. It has nothing to do with the entertainment industry and does not have that kind of resources and experience. How to operate it?"

Li Chuan: "Isn't Wen Lan Culture just doing this? We'll buy it, reduce the personnel, form a team, and operate it specifically for her. There shouldn't be a big problem."

Jiang Zeyu: "I don't think Wen Lan Culture was just a small company before Yang Chaoyue became famous and had never achieved any results. From this point of view, it can be seen that the quality of their employees should not be high. If they let them operate, the effect may be worse than that of our own operations."

Li Chuan: "We can run it ourselves, find a few suitable ones, and then hire a senior broker from outside, form a team or set up a separate brokerage department... This is OK."

Jiang Zeyu: "Do you want to conduct celebrity brokerage business within the company?"

Li Chuan: "No, I just handled the special matters based on Yang Chaoyue's actual situation."

Jiang Zeyu: "Our main energy should be on live e-commerce."

Li Chuan: "I know, I just mentioned the matters of the brokerage department casually. What should I do? I can discuss it later... The main purpose of taking down Yang Chaoyue is to sell goods on live streaming."

Jiang Zeyu: "If we only consider live streaming and selling goods, I think the cost of 100 million is too high and the risk is too high, so we don't need to do this."

Li Chuan: "You talk about it first. If you can talk about it less than 100 million, that's best; if you can't talk about it, then find a way to win Yang Chaoyue's short video agency and live broadcast agency."

Jiang Zeyu pondered for a moment and said, "Well, this is OK."

Li Chuan: "I have already told Shou Weida about this. He did not reply, but just said that he should consider it... In a while, I will send you his phone number, and you can chat with him and follow up."

Jiang Zeyu: "Okay, after I finish my work here, I'll contact him."

Li Chuan: "Well, then let's do it first. If there is any situation, report it to me at any time."

Jiang Zeyu: "Wait a minute, I still have a problem."

Li Chuan: "What's the problem?"

Jiang Zeyu: "What should I do if Shouweida does not agree to sell Yang Chaoyue's short video brokerage contract and live broadcast brokerage contract separately, and the asking price cannot be reduced to less than 100 million yuan?"

Li Chuan: "You try to talk."

Jiang Zeyu: "I will try my best to talk, but what if his attitude is very firm and I can't talk with no means of using, what should I do?"

Li Chuan was silent for a moment.

Jiang Zeyu: "I'll change my question. Do you have to take Yang Chaoyue, or can you take it, but don't take it?"

Li Chuan: "This..."

Jiang Zeyu: "I must understand your attitude in order to formulate a negotiation plan, otherwise the direction may be wrong."

Li Chuan didn't know how to speak.

He didn't think about this problem.

However, he quickly thought about it.

Because when he was hesitating, he felt a murderous gaze, staring at him tightly.

Under pressure, he decided to compromise.

Li Chuan: "It must be taken!"

Jiang Zeyu: "My need to be taken down?"

Li Chuan: "Well, you have to take it down!"

Jiang Zeyu paused and said, "Okay, I understand."

“…”

After hanging up the phone, Li Chuan looked down at Yang Chaoyue, a smile squeezed out on his face, and said, "How is it? Are you still satisfied?"

Yang Chaoyue glanced at the cell phone in Li Chuan's hand and asked, "Who is this person?"

"Jiang Zeyu."

Li Chuan introduced: "The vice president of our company is usually responsible for the company's investment and finance."

"He's talking so badly."

"Uh, he... speaks a bit ugly, but he has no bad intentions, don't care."

"I hate him."

Yang Chaoyue looked cold and asked, "Can you fire him?"

"What?" Li Chuan was stunned.

"You can fire him, I don't want to work with him, I..."

"What are you kidding!"

Li Chuan shouted angrily, his face very gloomy.

He never expected that Yang Chaoyue could say such words.
