Backfire

Is the era changing too fast?

Why does everyone at this company have a strange feeling that can't be described?

Is this the unique temperament of experts?

As one of the middle-level managers of a publicly traded company, Lin Cao's last bit of superiority completely disappeared.

But... it's okay.

Both hard and soft power didn't work, but it didn't matter!

With determination, Lin Cao planned to unleash his big move.

He was ready to go all out for a top-tier anchor to make a name for himself!

After Huang Rushi finished speaking, Lin Cao and a few others symbolically applauded twice, quickly ending this topic and moving on to the next phase.

It was time for both parties to discuss their future plans.

"Cough, cough," Lin Cao cleared his throat gently, "Our team is currently planning to allocate a substantial amount of resources to create two powerful personal IPs, competing with the well-established anchors on various platforms."

"One is a gentle goddess persona, primarily focusing on daily life and outdoor activities. The target audience is super-rich males with high spending power. If the IP is successful, it may even open doors to the entertainment industry!"

As a publicly traded company, Moon Mansion Media was involved in various aspects of the entertainment business, including film and television, variety shows, and music stars.

Lin Cao didn't go into too much detail, as it was best not to reveal everything to competitors.

"The second persona is a humorous and cheerful male. We'll create comedy short videos and live streams simultaneously, drawing in viewers with high-quality content, accumulating a large fanbase, and generating revenue through advertising and product promotions..."

As Lin Cao confidently discussed his plans, Yang Ruoqian finally paid full attention, not playing Minesweeper on his computer this time.

Great!

One male anchor, one female anchor.

And the secrets of their success...

When he worked in operations in the future, avoiding these success strategies would be like eliminating a wrong answer.

Moreover, since Moon Mansion Media was planning such a significant project in the near future, it would naturally attract a lot of attention and traffic.

As a publicly traded company, Moon Mansion Media had the financial resources, personnel, and technology to make a star out of an anchor.

This would also relieve some of the pressure on Yang Ruoqian to gain more followers.

This exchange of knowledge was a big win!

Yang Ruoqian sincerely thanked and praised, "Manager Lin, your insights have truly enlightened me."

Pleased to receive such praise from others, Lin Cao modestly replied, "Not at all, Yang CEO, your quick success in establishing your company shows your excellent judgment. Have you thought about your future plans and direction?"

Of course, he had. The next direction was none other than the recently fired Wan Min-er...

"We plan to delve into the gaming sector," Yang Ruoqian replied.

Lin Cao nodded, "Gaming comes with built-in traffic. Just hire anchors with good gaming skills. It's a safe choice."

While the popular games and heroes were already claimed by the top anchors, there was still room for those who weren't terrible. They could take on boosting and playing contracts, create exciting gameplay videos for major platforms, and still generate some traffic.

However, becoming a major sensation would be unlikely.

But what Lin Cao didn't know was that Yang Ruoqian wanted precisely this low ceiling.

Excellent. With extensive verification and affirmation, Wan Min-er was now his money-making machine, and there would be no unexpected surprises!

Next month's recruitment quota was decided.

The learning exchange quickly came to an end.

Lin Cao turned off the projector, handed out his business card to everyone, and said, "If any of you have any further questions, feel free to call me directly. I have some work to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

Among these business cards, Lin Cao hoped that only the two given to Gao Naiyun and Huang Rushi would have any impact.

In this regard, he was reasonably confident.

After handing out his business card, Lin Cao left.

The Xplendi Group team, having completed all their tasks, had no reason or motivation to stay at Moon Mansion Media's offices any longer.

After drinking some coffee and tea, the group of over a dozen people boarded the elevator again and left Moon Mansion Media's office building.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, one of the employees couldn't help but complain, "What's up with that? It looked so impressive from the outside, but as soon as we got in, it all felt subpar."

Once one person started talking, the atmosphere inside the elevator became lively.

"Yeah, look at those workstations, they're crammed together."

"The break room is covered in dust!"

"It's already past noon, and it seems like no one is leaving work to take a break. It feels weird."

"Weren't we here for a learning exchange? How come it felt like there wasn't much to learn? His theories are okay, but they're too conventional. It's nothing compared to Yang CEO's creativity."

"It's so dull. I'm more excited about tonight's dinner."

They came with high spirits but left disappointed. Publicly traded companies were like this after all.

Indeed, their own boss and company were better. Many employees had already resolved to work ten times harder after this trip... once the vacation and learning were over, to repay Yang CEO's kindness.

Unfortunately, Yang Ruoqian couldn't hear the thoughts of his employees and had no idea that the team-building he organized had completely backfired.

Soon, the group of people left this disappointing place and returned to their hotel.

After a tiring day of travel, everyone was exhausted. Yang Ruoqian didn't organize any more team activities and simply handed out high-end seafood buffet vouchers to each person. They could use them whenever they wanted to eat.

Eating together with so many colleagues, especially in the presence of leadership, meant that they couldn't really relax. It was better to let them have some free time and form their own groups.

Now that the summer holiday season had passed, and it was a workday, the hotel wasn't too crowded, and there was no need to worry about the best items being taken.

Yang Ruoqian chose a slightly later time and invited Shao I-qi, Chang Zhiqing, and Gao Naiyun, who were relatively close to him, to the buffet restaurant. After a satisfying meal, they each returned to their rooms.

As soon as Yang Ruoqian entered his room, his phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Chang Zhiqing, he answered, "What's up?"

"After coming out for a rare occasion, you're just having a buffet and calling it a night? No plans for tonight?" Chang Zhiqing asked.

"Tonight?" Yang Ruoqian was a bit puzzled. "Does sleeping count as a plan?"

Chang Zhiqing chuckled, "You're so lazy! You're stuck in the office all day. When was the last time you exercised? This hotel is great, and it has a 24-hour heated pool. As soon as you've digested your food, come over for some exercise!"
