"How did you complete the task I gave you?"
After going to work today, Zhou Chen asked Jiang Yuyan to call the boss of the Douyin department over. After a small talk, he asked about business matters.
Mr. Zhang from the Douyin Department straightened his face and replied: "Dr. Jay, don't worry, we are already doing our best and we will definitely complete the task within the stipulated time limit."
Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction, "This is best. This Spring Festival is the best opportunity for development, so the card collection activity must be louder. At least it must be bigger than the Wealth Treasure. Do you understand?"
"
"I understand, but Director Jay, if you invest 500 million at once, it is too much. Even if it is a fortune treasure, it is only 200 million. We will invest 500 million at once on the card collection red envelope activity. When the time comes,
Can I exchange it for equivalent traffic?”
As the boss of the Douyin department, Mr. Zhang naturally has great foresight. He can see the benefits of this plan, but the key is that Zhou Chen has to invest too much money.
Even for people like Boss Ma, the lucky red envelope activity only cost 200 million. The first time they did it, they got 500 million.
Five hundred million is much more than two hundred million, but the problem is that Douyin has just been established for more than a year, and its traffic is not comparable to that of Zhifu Bao.
Moreover, Zhifubao is originally linked to money, and they are a short video app. It is really hard to say whether the investment will be rewarded by then.
"You also know that what our short video app needs most is traffic. The company has been established for more than a year. Although the traffic has been growing and the content has been continuously improved, it is still not well-known to everyone. What do you think?
It’s a lot of billions, but I think it’s totally worth it. As long as we can retain one out of ten people we attract, it’s also a success. How much we invest now will mean how big the returns will be in the future.”
"I know what you are thinking, but you don't have to worry about money. In the past few years, I never expected Douyin to be profitable. For me, its future is more important. In this era, the media, controlling traffic, is the key
The royal way."
Mr. Zhang was chosen by Zhou Chen himself. He knew Mr. Zhang’s abilities very well. The reason why Mr. Zhang was so hesitant was entirely because he had been burning money since he took control of Douyin.
Don't look at the fact that Douyin is becoming more and more popular now, it's all made of money.
As a subordinate, not only can't you make a profit for your boss, but you've been burning the boss's money, and the money is still measured in hundreds of millions. As the general manager, can you not worry?
In fact, he is more determined than Zhou Chen to strengthen Douyin, so he is relatively more worried than Zhou Chen.
"That's it for the card collection and red envelope activities. I asked you to get in touch with those popular celebrities. How did it go?"
Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang's expression became even more bitter: "Dr. Jay, we also contacted those popular celebrities according to your request, especially those with high traffic, but the prices they asked for each one were too outrageous, and they asked for it casually.
Millions and tens of millions, this is simply out of the question."
“Expected.”
Zhou Chen's expression didn't change much. During this period, it was the time when traffic stars were at their most popular. Those sissy traffic stars would dare to pay tens of millions for just one show to make a TV series.
They can make over a million, so if they are allowed to settle in Douyin, it would be strange if the lions don't open their mouths.
"Then don't go looking for those popular celebrities, and get in touch with some celebrities who are powerful and have a fan base. In short, this Spring Festival must be prosperous for me."
"I understand, Director Jay."
After these conversations were finished, Zhou Chen knocked on the table and said: "Recently, I am in contact with the leaders of CCTV and want to advertise Douyin at the Spring Festival Gala, so recently you have to make Douyin's image more positive.
, don’t show any messy video content.”
"CCTV? Chairman Jay, can you really advertise on CCTV? The cost will definitely be high."
Mr. Zhang looked surprised. In his opinion, being able to advertise on CCTV is much more reliable than engaging in some card collection and red envelope activities, but at the same time, the cost must be very scary.
"You don't need to worry about this. I will make arrangements. I will go to Yanjing in two days. After the negotiation is completed, you can arrange for someone to contact me. I have paid so much this time. If you give me
If you mess up, you will be ready to work as a laborer for me for the rest of your life."
This time he really paid a huge price, not only new mobile phones, new systems, and Douyin, but he also invested more than one billion.
Fortunately, his foundation is strong enough, otherwise he would not be able to withstand such expenses.
For Zhou Chen, 2017 is a crucial year for the development and growth of his career, so he must make a good start from the beginning.
But this also means that in the next year, he will be busier than the previous two years, especially in the two months before the Spring Festival. There are really too many things to talk about, and everyone is busy.
It's a big deal.
At night, Zhou Chen hugged Guan Ju'er and said, "Guan Guan, I'm going to Yanjing tomorrow to discuss something. This matter is very important and I need to find a lot of people, so it may take several days to get back."
"Ah? You are going on a business trip." Guan Ju'er asked nervously.
"Um."
"Then what should I do?" Guan Ju'er became even more nervous.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You can rest assured to live here. There are nannies and bodyguards. This place is definitely the safest."
Guan Ju'er hesitated and said: "But in such a big house, without you by my side, I am really scared and dare not live in it."
Zhou Chen thought for a moment, "Then you can find someone to live with you. Fan Shengmei's parents haven't left yet. You can ask Qiu Yingying to come and stay with you for a few days. She shouldn't refuse."
"Is it okay to let Yingying come and live with me?"
Guan Ju'er was a little moved, but also a little hesitant. She was moved because she really didn't want to go back to face Fan Shengmei's parents. He was hesitant because she was not married to Zhou Chen after all. This was not her home. She wanted her friends to live here.
I feel very embarrassed.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "What's the point? I have so many rooms here, as long as we don't live in the room that belongs to us."
"Then let me ask Yingying."
"Okay, you can ask. I'll pack my things and I'll fly to Yanjing tomorrow morning."
A few minutes later, Guan Ju'er ran over and loudly said to Zhou Chen: "Brother Chen, I asked Yingying, and she said she could come over and accompany me."
Zhou Chen touched her head and said with a smile: "Are you not scared now?"
"Well, if I have an acquaintance with me, I won't be afraid."
"You can live here with peace of mind. You are the mistress here. Whatever you want to do, eat or do, just tell others to do it. If anyone dares not to listen to you, just let them go."
"I understand, Brother Chen, you are leaving tomorrow morning, can you tonight..."
Zhou Chen showed a bad smile: "Can it be anything?"
Guan Ju'er's face turned red with embarrassment, and she muttered sheepishly: "Can you stay with me more?"
"Needless to say, of course it's no problem. Come on, let's take a shower now."
Zhou Chen didn't take care of himself anymore, and directly picked up Guan Ju'er with a princess hug, and then quickly rushed to the bathroom...
Early the next morning, Zhou Chen said goodbye to Guan Ju'er, got in the car and headed to the airport.
Naturally, Liuzi was in charge of driving, and he was accompanied by secretary Jiang Yuyan.
"Dr. Jay, I have already arranged your itinerary for the next few days. Please take a look at it first. If there is anything wrong, I will make changes."
Zhou Chen checked the itinerary, looked at it for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "For the time being, I will follow the first-come-first-served basis."
"Okay, Director Jay."
Liu Zi also followed up and said: "Boss, the drivers from Yanjing have been arranged. They will pick you up at the airport in advance."
"Well, keep an eye on me here. If there's anything urgent, just call me." Zhou Chen ordered.
"Understood, boss."
…………
Qiu Yingying arrived at Tan Palace in Guan Juer's car. After entering this area, she kept screaming.
"Wow, this is my second time coming to this place. It's really beautiful. Guan Guan, I must have benefited from you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enter this place."
Guan Ju'er said helplessly: "Stop yelling. You have to live here with me for a while. Then I will take you around."
"Okay, okay. I heard that there are only a dozen villas here. In such a big place, there are only a dozen of them. It is really too luxurious, too luxurious."
She didn't know where Tan Palace was before, but since the last time, she has done a lot of research and knows what kind of villa area it is.
"Being able to spend the night here is probably the most arrogant thing I have ever done in my life."
Qiu Yingying sighed in her heart. People like her, who always choose cheap hotels when they go out to stay, can actually live in a villa worth hundreds of millions. Before, it was really unthinkable.
"Okay, when we get home later, I will take you to pick a room and we will sleep together at night."
"Okay, by the way, I want to take a few photos to show off when the time comes. That should be okay, right?"
"You can take photos, but don't reveal Zhou Chen's information. He doesn't like trouble."
Having been with Zhou Chen for so long, Guan Ju'er naturally understands Zhou Chen's character and knows that Zhou Chen doesn't like to expose his private life.
