Chapter 141 Company Meetings

"Lou Xiaoting?"

Fu Yingzhou nodded: "Huiding Entertainment."

Shi Shi understood: "He asked me to write a song? That's incredibly malicious towards Fu Zhixu."

Do you want to answer it?

Shi Shi shook her head. Although she liked money, she wasn't willing to take it from just anyone. Having finally cleared her name, she didn't need to get involved with Fu Zhixu. Especially now that her songs were selling perfectly.

Please apologize to me for me.

...

Lou Xiaoting wasn't surprised to receive Shi Shi's rejection. If Shi Shi sold the song to him, it would seem like she was deliberately retaliating against Fu Zhixu, helping her suppress her ex-husband. It seemed she would have to think of another way.

The three-person startup, "Celebrity Creation Bureau," is making rapid progress. Compared to the singing and emotional livestreamers that have been around for several years, this company is a breath of fresh air. Besides e-commerce livestreamers focused on product sales, they also have entertainment livestreamers showcasing their talents, and even knowledge-based livestreamers. The company recently recruited game livestreamers. Furthermore, they have niche markets in areas such as emotional content, outdoor activities, maternal and infant care, and pets.

When the live streaming industry began to decline, Shi Shi's creativity led the entire company to go against the tide, maximizing the already limited audience.

Red Person Manufacturing Bureau

First high-level meeting

Zi Jing handles the day-to-day management; having worked in the influencer industry for many years, she knows the company's operations better than anyone. Shen He is responsible for external business and liaising with the company. Shi Shi possesses unparalleled foresight and maintains a clear head at crucial moments. She not only invests in the company but also acts as its helmsman, firmly securing her position at the top.

Shi Shi: "Our company's performance has been excellent this period, which can be considered a great start. Among them, the top livestreamers, especially Jingjingzi, have achieved very good sales results."

At this point, Zi Jing couldn't help but feel a little proud; her status as a top internet celebrity hadn't been for nothing. She had never imagined that she could monetize her massive fan base in this way. After working with Shi Shi, she felt like she had opened the door to a whole new world.

Shen He said, "Our sales figures are obvious. After just one live stream, several large warehouses were emptied instantly. Now, more and more manufacturers are actively contacting us. They all want to cut out the middlemen and connect directly with us."

"Therefore, we must have a sense of crisis."

When Shishi said those words, everyone present was stunned. The company was clearly thriving, so where did this sense of crisis come from?

"We now rely on the popularity of the livestreamers to sell products. Because they have a large fan base, it's very easy for them to sell. As for the original factories, they already have their own sources of goods, so why would they need to cooperate with us?"

While others were still a bit confused, Shen He immediately realized: "You mean manufacturers can do their own live streams and promote their own products?"

Shi Shi nodded: "That's right. The reason they came to us instead of selling the products themselves isn't because they didn't think of this. They've always been doing wholesale and don't have brand appeal. If they suddenly start selling, netizens will question the products themselves."

Zi Jing panicked immediately and asked, "What should we do? Is there any way to avoid this?" She had been making a fortune of commissions lately, and it was so great that she would be devastated if it suddenly stopped.

"Don't be nervous. The market is so big, and the live-streaming e-commerce pie is too huge for us to handle. But since we've seized the initiative, that's our advantage," Shi Shi said confidently. "We can build the livestreamers themselves into brands. For example, Jingjingzi Yanxuan (a livestreaming platform) – if the manufacturers lack brand appeal, we'll use the influence of our company's livestreamers to help them. This way, they'll rely on us more. For instance, we can collaborate with manufacturers to launch co-branded products, leveraging the livestreamers' popularity for promotion. This way, when consumers see these products, they'll immediately think of our Influencer Creation Bureau and our livestreamers."

Shen He's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea, it can also increase the company's brand awareness."

Zi Jing nodded repeatedly: "Shi Shi is amazing, she came up with a solution right away."

Shi Shi continued, "First, select high-quality manufacturers and discuss the details of cooperation with them." At this point, she turned to Shen He and said, "The selection of manufacturers must be careful, and the contracts we sign with them must be more rigorous to avoid situations where there are duplicate versions."

At the beginning, people in this industry didn't really have a concept of Ab version.

Shishi explained further, "If the products the manufacturers give us are of high quality and at a good price, then after we sell them, both the seller and the buyer will be satisfied. Both parties will be happy, and the deal will be a win-win situation. But there are also quite a few opportunistic manufacturers who give us a good product but send a defective one to the consumer. They make money this way, but we suffer the loss of reputation. Once our reputation collapses, it will be a heavy blow to us."

Shen He nodded: "Don't worry, I will communicate with the legal department about the specific contract terms and revise it again. We will make sure to clearly write down all the possible problems."

After finishing her business with Shen He, Shi Shi looked at the finance department, her tone unusually serious, even stern: "Our ship is destined to sail far; we can't limit ourselves to such a small market. If we want to last, we can't afford to capsize in a ditch. All taxes due must be paid in full. Legitimate tax avoidance is acceptable, but forced legitimate tax avoidance is absolutely unacceptable!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh. Lately, they'd all been so caught up in the incredible influx of money that they were completely overwhelmed. Shishi's words served as a wake-up call; they couldn't afford to fail so early in such a promising industry.

Shishi glanced at her watch; her schedule was packed lately. Even if she had to squeeze in a meeting, she'd have to leave now.

"First, you determine the product positioning and style. Then, have the livestreamers highlight these co-branded products during their broadcasts and offer some exclusive discounts. The planning department should follow my instructions and come up with a plan. If the livestreamers have any ideas of their own, they can also send them to me."

After organizing her thoughts, Shi Shi continued to assign tasks: "The sales department needs to pay more attention to after-sales service. We can't control other people's live streams, but every product sold by our company's live streamers must have a complete after-sales process to improve customer satisfaction. Only in this way can we receive timely feedback from consumers. This will also help us with our second collaboration with the manufacturer and our evaluation."

The heads of the planning and marketing departments quickly nodded in agreement, saying they would go back and implement it immediately.

Shi Shi disliked wasting time, so she succinctly summarized the main points of today's meeting before leaving: "I have other things to do, you can continue. Everyone in our company, no matter how long you've been here, will receive a big bonus at the end of this year. I keep my word."

Shishi picked up her phone and handbag, and was about to leave.

"Mr. Shi, wait a moment!"
