Chapter 457: New Year’s Plan, Fan Family Disruption
"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.
Qiu Yingying patted her chest and replied: "Don't worry, Guan Guan, I still know this in my heart, and I will never reveal anything about it."
She is a bit naive, but not stupid.
"By the way, Guan Guan, you don't know how uncomfortable I have been during the past few days without you. Sister Fan, her parents, and the little nephew are really dying. The family has been destroyed by them.
It's a mess. Fortunately, your room was locked, otherwise you would have suffered as well."
"arrive."
When the car arrived at the door, the door of the villa opened automatically. After the car stopped, the two got out of the car one after another.
Qiu Yingying was about to pick up her luggage when she saw a servant walking over quickly.
"Miss, let's do it."
Qiu Yingying was a little hesitant, but Guan Ju'er was used to it: "Leave it to them."
The two of them walked in front, followed by the servant who pushed and saluted.
Qiu Yingying said in a low voice: "Guan Guan, you are really living the life of a wealthy wife now."
Guan Ju'er said distressedly: "I don't want to, but they insist on it. Zhou Chen said that everyone has their own division of labor. He spends money to let them do things. If they don't do things, it will be in vain to support them.
I can't talk to him, I can only live according to his way."
Qiu Yingying said enviously: "Zhou Chen really loves you."
"Yes, he is really good to me, so good that it makes me feel a little unreal."
"Guan Guan, you are so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed."
"No, Yingying, let's go choose a room first. You can tell us what you want to eat later, and I'll let the kitchen cook it for you."
"Then I won't be polite. Today I will take advantage of you, a wealthy lady."
…………
A few days later, it's the weekend.
Zhou Chen, who had been busy for a few days, had a rare free time, so he called Guan Ju'er.
"Hey Guan Guan, what are you doing at home this weekend?"
"What, went to Tongshi?"
Listening to Guan Ju'er's answer on the phone, Zhou Chen frowned and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell you not to meddle in other people's business? The affairs of Fan Shengmei's family are not that easy to deal with."
It turned out that not long ago, Fan Shengmei's father was hospitalized due to cerebral hemorrhage and became a vegetative state after surgery. The cost of treatment in Shanghai was too high, so they had no choice but to take him back to his hometown, Tongshi.
In order to help Fan Shengmei, several women on the 22nd floor worked hard to help contact cars and contacts, and took them back to Tongshi.
Unexpectedly, despite her own warning, Guan Ju'er still didn't let Guan Ju'er give up helping, and she still went with him.
Of course he wouldn't be angry. Guan Ju'er did this out of loyalty, but he really didn't want Guan Ju'er to get involved in Fan Shengmei's family's troubles.
He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that someone might accidentally hurt Guan Ju'er due to lack of eyesight.
The matter had already happened, and he was still in Yanjing. He was beyond his reach and could not help much. He could only persuade Guan Ju'er with a few words and then ended the call.
But soon he made another call: "Protect Miss Guan and don't let her get hurt at all."
"I know, boss."
A rough and determined answer came quickly from the other side of the phone.
On the highway heading to Tongshi, a Panamera was driving fast, and Guan Ju'er, who was sitting in the back seat, hung up the phone helplessly.
"What's wrong? Isn't it from handsome guy Zhou? Why are you looking so sad?" Qiu Yingying, who was sitting next to her, asked strangely.
During this period of time, she lived with Guan Ju'er in Tan Palace. It could be said that she lived the life of a truly rich and noble family, enjoying everything she wanted. Therefore, she was filled with gratitude and admiration for Zhou Chen in her heart.
Guan Ju'er sighed and said: "I told him the situation, and he said I was meddling in other people's business and shouldn't follow him to Tongshi. I just wanted to help Sister Fan."
Andy smiled and said: "Xiaoguan, you are thinking too much. Zhou Chen cares about you. If you are in Magic City, he can know your situation at any time. But if you go to Tongshi, he will not know your situation. He must
Will be worried."
"What Andy said makes sense, but the most important thing is that I think what your handsome guy Zhou said is absolutely right. The Fan family's matter is just a mess. With your cute look, he is not worried about you. He is worried about you."
Who is it?"
Qu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said while fiddling with her nails.
Guan Ju'er said: "I also know that he is doing it for my own good, and I also know that the affairs in Sister Fan's family are very complicated, but after all, we have lived together under the same roof for so long. Now that something like this happened to her, how could I remain indifferent?
."
Qiu Yingying raised her hands in agreement: "Yes, I have the same idea as Guan Guan. Although I have no ability, I still want to help Sister Fan. Sister Fan helped me a lot before."
Qu Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly: "You guys are just too naive."
"Qu Xiaoxiao, if you don't want to help Sister Fan, then why are you following me?" Qiu Yingying shouted to Qu Xiaoxiao.
Qu Xiaoxiao shrugged and said: "Because I had nothing to do on the weekend, I came here to watch the excitement. I saw Sister Fan usually being very arrogant on the 22nd floor, and I wanted to see how she would face these shabby things when she returned to her hometown.
Can things get better?"
"But what surprises me the most is that besides us, that Wang Baichuan actually came to help. Wow, what a man."
Speaking of Wang Baichuan, the expressions of the women were all different, and they were all very surprised.
Last time at the private villa, Fan Shengmei had already injured him like that. Unexpectedly, after such a short period of time, Wang Baichuan saw Fan Shengmei was in trouble and came over to help enthusiastically. It was really unexpected.
