Chapter 128 Blackmail (5,000 Words Long Chapter, Please Vote)

Suddenly,

A pair of warm hands quietly placed on his temples, rubbing gently.

Gao Yuan did not open his eyes, he knew it was Li Mengqing who came.

If it was Lin Wanyu, she should have thrown herself into his arms at this time.

"My family called me today and scolded me."

"But this is also a good thing. Now they all know that I have a boyfriend, and I guess they won't force me to go on blind dates anymore."

Gao Yuan reached out and grabbed Li Mengqing's hand and pulled her to him.

He hugged her and let her lie quietly on his chest.

"Give me some more time, your family's problems will definitely be solved."

Li Mengqing did not speak, but nodded obediently.

The two stayed on the balcony for a while, and Gao Yuan took Li Mengqing back to the living room.

It was already December, and it was still very cold outside. He didn't want to let Li Mengqing freeze.

After washing up, the three of them lay down on the bed early tonight.

After a day, the three of them were a little tired, and Gao Yuan hugged the two of them and fell asleep early.

The next day when Gao Yuan came to the company again, he found that it was not as busy as yesterday.

Although there were some express boxes waiting to be shipped in the warehouse area, there were only about a thousand orders, not as exaggerated as yesterday.

I checked the orders of yesterday in the office, and sure enough, the efficiency of the three stores dropped drastically.

The three stores only sold more than 2,000 orders in one day.

But Gao Yuan was not dissatisfied, this situation was completely expected.

Gao Yuan then contacted Lao Xue. This time he did not mention the brand endorsement, but only asked about the naming rights of Lao Xue's New Year's Eve concert.

As a result, the naming rights of Lao Xue's New Year's Eve concert have been sold.

The key is that the buyer is still the L'Oreal Group.

This makes Gao Yuan excited again!

At present, Jay Chou has not announced the news of changing the naming sponsor. If he also takes Lao Xue's naming rights, the two will announce the news at the same time.

The shock will be even greater!

It's fun. Gao Yuan directly gave Lao Xue the chips he gave to Jay Chou yesterday.

Lao Xue's attitude towards this matter was not so serious. He didn't care who would be the sponsor, he just wanted to make more money.

Not only did he agree to change the naming rights, but he also said that he would record a video specifically for Gao Yuan's GY brand, which would be posted on his social account at that time.

This was an unexpected surprise for Gao Yuan.

He immediately arranged for someone to send samples to Lao Xue, of course, these samples were also marked by the system.

On the other hand, Gao Yuan synchronized the information with Jay Chou and Lao Xue, hoping that they would choose to announce it on the same day when they announced it to the public.

At this time, both of them understood Gao Yuan's idea.

However, these are also normal for business behavior. Since they agreed to change the sponsor, they didn't care about this matter.

After dealing with the naming rights, Gao Yuan called Si Xue to the office.

"How much money is left in our company's account at present?"

When Si Xue came over, she guessed that Gao Yuan would ask this question, listed all the recent expenses one by one, and began to report to Gao Yuan.

"There are still 800 million in the company's account.

"Of these, 100 million needs to be paid to the Douyin platform within the next week."

"In January, 40 million needs to be paid to Jay Chou's studio for the naming rights in 2024."

"At the end of the month, 3 million needs to be paid to the Lin Group."

After Si Xue finished her report, Gao Yuan rubbed his temples and said, "That means that of the 300 million in our account, only 76 million will be left in January?"

"Yes."

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said to Si Xue, "Don't pay the Lin Group for now."

"Contact Lao Xue's studio and pay the naming rights fee that has just been negotiated. "

After Si Xue left the office, Gao Yuan roughly calculated that by January, the remaining funds in the company's account would be 40 million.

The sales of the three stores by the end of the month should be around 20 million, but this money has a credit period and can only be received in installments. In other words, the funds he can use for future company operations are around 50 million.

If he wants to make at least 300 million in 2024, he must not only prepare enough products, but also prepare enough marketing expenses in advance.

This money is really hard to spend!

It's been less than a week since the 300 million was received, and it's almost gone.

Gao Yuan feels that he is a spendthrift.

The road to entrepreneurship is really difficult. If I had known it would cost so much, I might as well Focus on winning over Xiao Xiao, the rich woman.

After all, facing a rich woman only requires physical effort!

However, Gao Yuan also knows that it is not easy to make money from a rich woman, and a man has to rely on himself, especially since he already has two women.

After he was free, Gao Yuan opened Douyin to check the live broadcast.

Today's GY flagship store live broadcast screen is a little different from the previous one. It no longer uses the background of Jay Chou's concert, and returns to the daily live broadcast mode that belongs to the brand's tone.

The anchor is working hard to introduce the product in the live broadcast room, and from time to time he will recommend that everyone can buy the stock package.

However, the number of people who placed orders is obviously much lower than yesterday. Fortunately, the anchor has always had a better mentality, and the whole live broadcast is smooth.

The company is now on the right track. This time GY's sudden appearance is like a shot of excitement for this group of people. Everyone is busy with all their energy.

Gao Yuan is quite satisfied with this situation. At least the fighting spirit of these people has been aroused. As long as he does not fall behind and gives them enough treatment, this group of people will work harder.

As for making money, no one will complain about it for workers.

2023 is just the beginning. When he enters 2024, he will surely have a big harvest.

Gao Yuan emphasized to Sister Sun again that he must do a good job in service, and then drove back to No. 1 Courtyard.

Unexpectedly, he just parked the car and ran into Xiao Xiao who was going downstairs to go out.

"Gao Da Shuai Ge didn't stay in the company during the entrepreneurial stage!"

The first sentence Xiao Xiao saw Gao Yuan was to mention his entrepreneurial business.

Gao Yuan also noticed that Xiao Xiao's address to him changed again. This sentence of Gao Da Shuai Ge brought the relationship between the two closer.

"Alas!"

"Starting a business is too difficult."

Gao Yuan deliberately made a bitter face and sold a pitiful face to Xiao Xiao.

He didn't expect that he had just thought of Xiao Xiao in the morning, and he met her by chance in the underground garage at noon. Could it be considered that the two of them were in sync?

Xiao Xiao just smiled. She often paid attention to some hot search lists. She knew that Gao Yuan's GY brand had been popular in the past few days, and she had just bought three boxes of facial masks in the live broadcast room.

Because Xiao Xiao was going out, the two just chatted briefly. Gao Yuan walked towards the elevator, and Xiao Xiao walked towards her car.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan hadn't walked a few steps when Xiao Xiao's voice came from behind again.

"Are you going to Jay Chou's concert in Shanghai?"

"Yes!"

Gao Yuan turned his head and answered.

After he answered, he saw Xiao Xiao's face showing a bright smile, opened the car door and got in.

Watching Xiao Xiao drive away, Gao Yuan stood there thinking.

Is Xiao Xiao also going to see Jay Chou's concert in Shanghai?

Gao Yuan returned home with doubts, opened the door, but did not see Lin Wanyu.

He changed his shoes, just walked a few steps and saw Lin Wanyu busy in the kitchen.

When he came to the kitchen door, Lin Wanyu was wearing an apron and holding a mobile phone in one hand and cooking in the other hand.

Not to mention, this posture is a bit cute.

Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and recorded a video directly and sent it to the small group of three people.

But Li Mengqing in the group did not respond. Gao Yuan thought she was busy, so he went to change clothes directly.

At this time, Wuyou Media.

Li Mengqing did not have time to check the information in the small group. She was sitting in the boss's office.

Gao Yuan and Yuanfang Company became popular all of a sudden, which gave Wuyou's boss, who had already paid attention to the hot search list, a new idea.

Li Mengqing also appeared at Jay Chou's concert that day. He did not expect that his company's employees would have such a talented boyfriend.

And Gao Yuan's temperament is not an ordinary person at first glance.

Especially since Gao Yuan's singing skills are so strong, if he can sign with the company, it will be easy to create a 10 million account.

He talked with Li Mengqing about the company's business for a while, cared about Li Mengqing's work situation, and then asked Gao Yuan if he wanted to develop on the Internet.

"Your boyfriend is really good at singing, I wonder if he has ever thought about making a debut?"

Hearing the boss's tentative greeting, Li Mengqing knew it.

"He has no idea in this regard."

Li Mengqing answered very straightforwardly.

The boss didn't call her over to care about her work, but Wuyou wanted to sign Gao Yuan and came to test her.

Li Mengqing didn't even think about this matter, and directly helped Gao Yuan refuse.

What a joke, Gao Yuan has started his own business, and the sales of the GY brand are so good recently, how could he become an Internet celebrity.

For this point, Wuyou also considered it a bit unrealistic, so he proposed to create two accounts around Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing.

With Gao Yuan's current traffic and the fact that the heat of this matter has not yet subsided, Wuyou is very confident that he can make the two of them famous in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, Li Mengqing also refused this matter.

She and Lin Wanyu both regretted that they were too much at the concert in the short videos that said Gao Yuan had two girlfriends at the same time. Now they have to be Internet celebrities. Isn't that causing trouble for Gao Yuan?

Rejecting the boss's proposal, Li Mengqing returned to her own office.

Sitting behind the desk, she also fell into a period of contemplation.

She wanted to resign!

Since Gao Yuan started to be on the hot search, Li Mengqing suddenly realized that Gao Yuan's recent development was too fast.

He just started his business and became the second largest shareholder of the Lin Group.

Although she didn't know how good Gao Yuan's secret recipe was that the Lin Group was willing to exchange it for 15% of the shares.

But recently she has been using GY's mask. It has only been more than a week, and she can clearly feel that her skin is different from before.

This means that Gao Yuan will be successful sooner or later, and his future assets will be measured in billions at least.

At that time, she was still a wage earner with an annual salary of several hundred thousand yuan, and the gap between the two would become larger and larger.

When that time comes, can they really maintain their current relationship?

Now that the boss has proposed such an idea, Li Mengqing suddenly feels that she can't work here anymore, and she may not know when she will bring trouble to Gao Yuan again.

She felt that she had not helped Gao Yuan in any way. If she brought trouble to Gao Yuan again, she would feel even worse.

Thinking of this, Li Mengqing turned on the computer and began to write a resignation application.

Courtyard No. 1.

Gao Yuan and Lin Wanyu sat together at the dining table.

Every time Gao Yuan tasted a dish, Lin Wanyu looked at Gao Yuan with expectation.

"Not bad, not bad, the saltiness is just right."

Hearing Gao Yuan's evaluation, Lin Wanyu was very happy.

She didn't eat a bite for half a day, and kept watching Gao Yuan eat.

In fact, Lin Wanyu's meal was okay, and it was not a dark dish. The only shortcoming might be that too much water was added to the rice, and the steamed rice turned into rice porridge.

After the two had their meal and rested at home for a while, they drove directly to the Lin Group.

Today Gao Yuan was not here to discuss product supply, but to blackmail.

When he borrowed money last time, Lin Hongnian had mentioned that he wanted to speed up the progress of other skin care products. That time Gao Yuan only gave a secret recipe for an eye mask.

Now that plans cannot keep up with changes, he also needs to speed up the improvement of the product system.

Recently, the customer service has reported that many people are asking if they have other products. A single mask alone cannot cultivate loyal users, after all, the needs of users cannot be met by a single mask.

Only after the product system of GY is improved can the stickiness between the brand and users reach the highest level.

Moreover, the speed of making money by relying on masks alone is still too slow. Those other skin care products, especially gift boxes, are the big money makers, so he also wants to put other series of products on the agenda as soon as possible.

Although the Lin Group is not as popular as Gao Yuan's Yuanfang Company recently, it is a big family!

It not only has many brands, but also has its own offline channels. The shipment volume of a single day is not comparable to that of Yuanfang Company.

The Lin Group is more eager to produce a full range of products earlier than he is. This is also the reason why Lin Hongnian urged Gao Yuan to speed up the improvement of the product system when he proposed a loan last time.

Therefore,

Gao Yuan came to the Lin Group this time with preparation.

Since old man Lin has made money and wants to lay out other skin care products earlier, Gao Yuan's bamboo bar is likely to be successful.

Of course,

Gao Yuan would not go too far, he just planned to waive the payment for the goods during this period.

This is not much money, only a few million, compared with the money earned by the Lin Group after the entire product line is completed, it is not even a drop in the bucket.

Lin Hongnian's office.

The four of them sat on the sofa, Gao Yuan and Lin Wanyu sat together, with Lin Hongnian, who was beaming, on the left, and Lin Sida, who was beaming, on the right.

There were no outsiders here, and the four of them spoke very directly, without much beating around the bush.

"Brother Yuan, you are on the hot search this time, it should be a great help to Yuanfang Company, right?"

"The GY brand is soaring now!"

Lin Sida's words were sour, and he was glared at by Lin Hongnian as soon as he finished speaking.

Gao Yuan smiled and didn't care, "Alas, we only sold more than 10,000 orders on the first day, and it's not good after that."

Lin Hongnian said to his son Lin Sida with some regret: "Talk less and learn more!"

He is not Lin Sida, and his vision of looking at things is not limited to the present.

Since Lin Wanyu asked him to sing on stage, he had some guesses, but he didn't expect Gao Yuan's singing talent to be so strong.

It was also an unexpected event that Yuanfang Group suddenly became popular this time.

In the past two days, he has been asking the e-commerce manager to pay attention to GY's sales. It was indeed very gratifying on the first day, but from the second day, sales performance dropped by 90%.

This also once again confirmed his idea that domestic skin care products want to be famous and build brand power, not just a casual explosion.

Lin's Group did not want to take this path from the beginning, and still insisted on taking steady steps and slowly occupying the market.

"Xiaoyuan's suggestion is very good!"

"Take advantage of this explosion to find a way to expand the traffic and steadily increase the traffic of the store. Next year will definitely be a year of harvest."

Gao Yuan naturally knows this truth.

He did not get inflated all of a sudden, otherwise he would not have cooperated with the Douyin platform to build a brand, let alone buy the one-year naming rights of Jay Chou and Lao Xue.

But he will not expand the market as steadily as Lin Hongnian. The two people started differently and are completely incomparable.

Even,

As long as Gao Yuan goes smoothly in the next step, he will immediately launch the whole network planting plan.

As long as the platform that can reach the brand crowd, he will invest a lot of money to do product planting marketing.

Including several major live broadcast platforms, even if he sacrifices most of the profits, he will start the sales mode.

Sell the products first, as long as the user has his products at home, as long as the user is willing to use his products, that is success.

However, he will not consider breaking the price for the time being.

Once the price is broken, it will be broken without a bottom line.

But how could Gao Yuan fight an unprepared battle?

All of this depends on the Lin Group's guarantee of its product supply. If there is a problem with the supply chain, all the money spent before will really go down the drain.

After chatting for a while, Gao Yuan also began to lay the groundwork for the purpose of his visit this time.

"Uncle Lin, how is the situation at the Lin Group?"

Lin Hongnian did not hide anything and showed Gao Yuan the sales report for the past week.

In this week, Lin's Group doubled its performance in all sales channels with new products, especially online channels. From the beginning of sales to now, the total performance has exceeded more than 20 million.

"Brother Yuan, this is all driven by your mask. If it is a full range of products, our growth will be more gratifying."

Lin Hongnian did not criticize his son's interruption, but kept staring at Gao Yuan.

What Lin Sida said was exactly what he wanted to express, but he proposed to Gao Yuan to produce a full range of products a few days ago, but was rejected by Gao Yuan.

This time he was really embarrassed to speak again, which also made him seem too eager.

However, when he saw Gao Yuan nodding, his mind became active again.

"Xiaoyuan, what do you think?"

Lin Hongnian hesitated for a while, but still asked.

The interests involved were too great, and he couldn't bear to ask shamelessly.
