Tangren was preparing to film "Scar of the Sky", so Cai Siqin took the opportunity of Liu Shishi's signing to also observe Gulina.
It was all arranged together, and it also happened to keep Boss Wang company.
If Gulina was very good, she would be given a small supporting role in "Scar of the Sky" to show her face.
If she showed potential to become popular after airing, Tangren would sign her and focus on developing her.
If not, then forget it!
Tangren, in those days, was very arrogant and didn't hold artists in high regard.
"Boss Wang, let me introduce you, this is Gulina, eighteen this year, just got admitted to Beiying."
"Gulina, this is Meiyou's Boss Wang. The same age as you, he has already founded Meiyou Technology, signed Ye Xiaohe for 2 million yesterday, and signed Shishi for 6 million today!"
Cai Siqin intentionally emphasized the numbers, omitting the year, with the intention of showcasing Tangren's strength.
As if saying,
"Look, follow Tangren, and endorsement fees are high, even higher than in the Beijing entertainment circle!"
"6 million!"
Gulina, still a student, was greatly astonished.
6 million in 2011 was worth not much less than 30 million ten years later!
"Mr. Wang, nice to meet you, my name is Gulina!"
Gulina smiled sweetly and quickly stepped forward to extend her hand.
Also born in '92, also eighteen, she was already the most beautiful campus belle admired by everyone!
But in front of Wang Yi, she was completely overshadowed!
Not to mention she wasn't famous; even if she became famous and a big star, she'd be insignificant in front of the capital owner!
Gulina's beautiful eyes flickered, and her spirits were greatly boosted!
Eighteen years old, founded Meiyou Technology!
Easily shelled out 8 million to sign two major artists!
Wang Yi's net worth was at least tens of millions, or even more!
Meiyou Technology has a boundless future!
Gulina even wondered if this person in front of her was even stronger than Tangren?
Would signing with Boss Wang be more promising than signing with Tangren?
However, this was just a thought; it concerned her future, so she couldn't be impulsive.
"Exotic charm, your looks are truly outstanding!"
Wang Yi held her hand, then quickly let go, but sighed inwardly:
"Too bad her brain isn't sharp!"
But Gulina's impression of him greatly improved; this capital big shot wasn't as greasy as other sugar daddies!
So good!
And only eighteen!
So young and handsome!
The group took their seats, Liu Shishi sat to Wang Yi's left, and Gulina sat directly to Wang Yi's right.
"How familiar a scene?"
Wang Yi sighed, good thing these two weren't openly bickering.
Cai Siqin smiled,
"Boss Wang, your good reputation is famous in the industry!"
"Oh? How so?"
Wang Yi was full of curiosity.
"Everyone says you're a pure stream in the investment circle, a scoundrel in the capital world!"
Cai Siqin quipped.
She was very capable, but her working style was hard to describe.
So after Boss Yang left Tangren, relations between the two sides became very strained.
Wang Yi: "..."
Liu Shishi quickly explained,
"It's because when you sign artists, you don't engage in... you don't do those shady tricks. When you invest in films, you don't add scenes or replace people. Everyone thinks you're a pure stream in the investment circle. But in the eyes of those capitalists, you're a bit of an outcast because they're purely jealous of you!"
"So that's how it is."
Wang Yi chuckled wryly.
He didn't know he had gained another good reputation!
No wonder Liu Shishi gladly agreed to a 6 million endorsement deal for ten years.
So my reputation had already spread!
It was a lucky coincidence.
Now Wang Yi had just started his business, and there were too many places needing money, so he had to sign Liu Shishi for ten years at a low price.
Later, he would naturally compensate her with more resources elsewhere!
The speaker had no intention, but the listener paid close attention.
Gulina, who was nearby, was even more tempted:
"Boss Wang is truly a pure stream in the capital circle, and he also invested in films, so he might have plans to enter the entertainment industry. If I could sign under Boss Wang and become Meiyou's first signed artist, my future would probably be even better!"
She wasn't stupid; although Tangren was more formidable and had more resources, it also had many actors, leading to intense competition!
Currently, Tangren's top star, Boss Yang, was followed by Liu Shishi, Tangtang, and many other famous popular actresses.
As a student and a newcomer, what did she have to compete with?
No matter how many resources Tangren had, she probably wouldn't get much of it.
And Boss Wang has strength, and no artists under him...
Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!
During the meal, Gulina ate with a complex expression.
After the meal, Cai Siqin and Liu Shishi returned to Tangren.
Gulina, however, stayed behind, hesitating to speak:
"Boss Wang, I... I... can I add your contact information?"
"Of course."
Wang Yi and she exchanged contact information.
Gulina's acting skills were not mentioned, but her image and foundation were very good, making her suitable as a brand ambassador.
A few years later, when live streaming became popular, Principal Wang wanted to sign her as a streamer, offering 20 million, but she didn't agree.
But now, she was still a newcomer, not worth that much.
If she was willing, he could sign her.
If not, Wang Yi wouldn't force it.
His business focus was still e-commerce!
Investing in films was just a small venture, and finding celebrity endorsers was merely to develop e-commerce and boost Meiyou's brand awareness and user base.
"Let's chat when we have time, I need to go back to Jeju."
Wang Yi waved his hand.
"Okay, Boss Wang, take care!"
Gulina smiled sweetly, feeling a bit unsatisfied.
Other men who saw her wished they could chat more.
Someone like Wang Yi, who left right after eating, was truly a rarity.
"What an interesting young man!"
Gulina spoke softly, and unknowingly, her standards for a partner had been completely overturned.
She suddenly felt that no matter how handsome those celebrities were, they were nothing, insignificant in front of capital!
No matter how rich those sugar daddies were, it was nothing; they were old, not good-looking, out of shape, without principles...
A capital big shot like Wang Yi, who was handsome, rich, talented, young, and a pure stream in the investment circle, was the ideal partner for a female star!
"It's just a pity, he's too excellent, it seems I'm not worthy!"
Gulina pouted, feeling somewhat unconfident.
When Wang Yi and Yu Xue returned to Meiyou Tower, it was already 4 PM.
"Manager Song, call a high-level meeting!"
"Yes!"
In recent days, the massive traffic from two celebrities' self-funded promotions and the headline feature in Jeju Evening News came one after another, pushing Meiyou's revenue to new heights.
The original step-by-step development strategy was completely disrupted.
Wang Yi had to convene a high-level meeting to start new arrangements.
Soon, everyone arrived, each looking joyful.
It was clear that Meiyou's extraordinary performance had excited everyone, some even getting carried away!
They all felt like executives of a large company with tens of millions in revenue!
This was not good, very bad!
Wang Yi frowned slightly; how could the company be so restless just after starting?
He hired them to work and generate revenue, not to show off!
He had to set them straight!
Wang Yi surveyed everyone, his gaze calm, saying nothing, yet it made the smiles on several executives' faces freeze.
A few even directly lowered their heads.
Only then did Wang Yi speak softly:
"People's biggest flaw is easily mistaking unexpected gains for their own efforts!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's heart sank.
The pace has been adjusted, returning to business, with commercial development as the primary focus going forward.
