Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 669: All Sisters
As the saying goes, people are shaped by the land and water they live in. Over a long period of time, each place has formed its own unique customs and culture. In an era when information is not well circulated, these have become the most vivid and vivid regional characteristics in the eyes of most people.
Today, in the era of information explosion through the Internet, this vivid regional characteristic has gradually evolved into various stereotypes that people talk about with relish.
In this regard, the twenty-three provinces can be said to have their own merits. In the minds of the people across the country, each has its own unique stereotype, the kind that whenever it is mentioned, everyone can immediately identify with it.
Among them, if we mention the place called Xijiang Province, I guess the first reaction of most people is - bride price!
After all, it is a place that was once featured in CCTV's interviews because of the word "bride price". Whenever people from Xijiang introduce themselves to others, most people will probably curiously ask about the bride price.
Of course, as time goes by, most customs have begun a new round of evolution in line with the pace of the times. The old stereotypes may no longer be able to adapt to the needs of this rapidly developing era...
As for what the new stereotype will be, we can only wait and see.
As the capital city of Xijiang Province, Yucheng has a long history. It is not only a national historical and cultural city, but also a heroic city that fired the first shot of the revolution in modern history.
There is no doubt that Yucheng is a great place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. At the same time, a trend-setter who is about to lead the trend of the times is lurking here.
A shopping mall located in a prosperous area of Yucheng.
It is the leisure time on weekdays and the flow of people in the shopping mall is relatively quiet. For the staff of the shopping mall, it is a good time to steal a half day of leisure from their busy lives.
So, they gathered in groups of three or four to joke and chat, and talk about some gossip about their daily lives.
Or they just play with their mobile phones to kill time, including the sales staff at major cosmetics counters.
Even though they are praised for their eloquent and silver-tongued mouth, if no customers come to their door, it will be like a housewife without rice.
"Hey, it feels like offline counters are selling less and less goods. The commission I'm going to get this month is going to be greatly reduced again." A salesgirl with delicate makeup complained boredly.
"Who says it's not true? Nowadays, everyone likes to buy things online. Who would buy offline? The most annoying thing is to try on the colors in the store and then buy online..."
"I can't help it. The prices online are so cheap. If it weren't for the employee discount, I wouldn't buy it offline. Hahaha..."
“That’s true!”
The two of them joked cheerfully, and their eyes couldn't help but glance at another L'Oreal counter, where a handsome man was seriously sorting out lipstick. With his slightly feminine looks and thin appearance, he stood out among all the beauty counters.
"Hey, they are really capable people. They never complain about the environment. They say our performance is not good, but Jiaqi is still the sales champion every month!"
"How can a grown man like you know so much about lipstick? Even I feel ashamed of myself."
"Men still understand women's hearts best. But you said Jiaqi knows so much about lipstick and likes to wear makeup. It can't be that..."
"Hey, really? This looks delicious..."
As soon as they started talking about this, the two salesgirls were no longer sleepy. They became very energetic and couldn't help but burst into meaningful laughter when they were excited.
Li Jiaqi has long been accustomed to this. After all, since he chose to hang around the beauty counter and became a glorious "counter brother", Li Jiaqi has been subjected to many strange looks.
This is probably the same as male makeup artists working in the fashion industry. What they face is often not occupational discrimination, but soul-searching questions about their "sexual orientation".
Li Jiaqi, who has a rather feminine appearance, seems to naturally cater to this stereotype about sales clerks. Even most of the customers he has dealt with have asked similar questions.
Li Jiaqi is no longer surprised by this. Instead of dwelling on it, he might as well take advantage of this stereotype and make a fortune.
Once he accepted this stereotype, Li Jiaqi thrived in the field of beauty counters. He even made inroads into the female community and established "sister" relationships with many of his female customers.
In addition, Li Jiaqi's extensive knowledge of lipstick products and his professional attitude of trying out the colors on himself without any hesitation have made many female customers regard him as a role model.
As a result, word of mouth spread and the reputation of good sisters was formed, and the performance naturally increased.
When stereotypes can bring real benefits, I believe that most people will not care about the label of stereotypes, and even hope that the storm will come more violently...
“Ding Dong~”
At this moment, a message alert sound suddenly came from the mobile phone in his pocket. Li Jiaqi put down the lipstick in his hand and took out his mobile phone to check it.
It turned out that someone from the sisters group in his mobile phone sent him a message. It was called a sisters group, but it would be more accurate to say it was a customer group.
After all, for sales personnel, how to maintain their own customer base is a profound knowledge. Having been able to win the sales champion award many times, Li Jiaqi is naturally a leader among them.
You know, beauty products are consumables, and no woman would be satisfied with just owning one lipstick, just like a man would not be satisfied with just buying one hero skin...
That would naturally be like Han Xin recruiting soldiers, the more the better!
"Qiqi, have you seen this video? I think you can try to sign up. I think you are quite suitable to be a beauty influencer..."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples. Once these words were spoken, they aroused the approval of all the sisters.
"Of course. With our Qiqi's professional attitude, he is the best in everything he does!" said a fan girl.
"Qiqi, you can sign up and give it a try. My husband's company is very reliable. You know [Papi Jiang], right? He trained her."
"What do you mean your husband? That's my husband!"
"Do you have any evidence? Dongsheng is lying on my bed right now. Okay, I won't say any more. Dongsheng called me!"
Judging from the extent of these lewd words, it is obvious that this group of girls really treat Li Jiaqi as a sister and do not regard .
In fact, whether it is in the girls' dormitory or the topics a group of girls chat about privately, the scale is definitely even more excessive than that of boys.
Li Jiaqi couldn't help but smile knowingly, and added with a full sense of evil humor, "Huh? Dongsheng didn't tell me there was someone outside..."
"Ahhhh, Jiaqi and Dongsheng's words are so good!"
"A story about a domineering CEO and an internet celebrity trainee? I feel like my genes have moved..."
"Pass the pen, ma'am . I need to see the follow-up article soon. Please!"
With Li Jiaqi's joke, the tone of the group chat changed instantly, and a brand new CP was born in this group chat.
The saying "Men understand women's hearts best" is very appropriate for Li Jiaqi.
After making a few jokes in the group chat, Li Jiaqi opened the video and took a look.
In order to cater to the needs of his clients and keep up-to-date with the topics he discusses, Li Jiaqi has of course been surfing the Internet a lot, so it is natural that he cannot be unaware of Zhou Dongsheng, this influential figure.
But before this, Li Jiaqi had never thought about developing in this direction. He was just an ordinary spectator watching the fun.
As the latest episode of "The Boring Life of Zhou Dongsheng" swept the entire Internet, coupled with the boost of Rolex's official announcement of cooperation, Zhou Dongsheng has become popular again.
As a boss, he has already overshadowed the internet celebrities under him. Is there anything that can better stimulate the work enthusiasm of the internet celebrities under him?
Although I don't have as many resources as the boss, if even the guy who makes a living can't compare to the boss's "hobby", then the blow is huge.
In addition to the colleagues from the two major media outlets who worked as hard as if they were injected with chicken blood, Zhou Dongsheng has set an example with his own actions, allowing many people to have a deeper understanding of the term "Internet celebrity".
Apart from anything else, the collaboration with top luxury brands that even top stars are flocking to has single-handedly raised the status of internet celebrities and made more people fall in love with them.
After everyone's attempts, they found that the recruitment advertisement at the end of the video was not a joke, but the actual contact information of two major media outlets.
And under the leadership and stimulation of their bosses, the two major media outlets have maximized their motivation in recruiting talents and even started competing with each other.
Although the main business directions of the two businesses are slightly different, Xiaorenwu Media started out with live broadcasting business, and it has a very luxurious lineup of anchors. The name of the "Four Heavenly Kings" alone is well-known to everyone.
Relying on the solid foundation laid by Zhou Dongsheng, Xiaorenwu Media is now thriving in the anchor brokerage business.
After all, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Whether it is the boss Zhou Dongsheng, or the appeal of a group of big anchors such as Liu, Curly Baboon, and Xiao Sima, the olive branch of Little People Media is enough to make it very tempting.
As a "founding father", the weight of Little Man Media is real. In comparison, Yi Nian Media is completely weak and it is obviously not enough to rely on just [Papi Jiang].
It’s just that as Zhou Dongsheng’s new favorite, she is now a popular figure in the boss’s eyes. It doesn’t matter whether her status is high or not, as long as she is favored (funny).
This time, the bosses were personally on the scene to make the announcement, so they naturally couldn't lag behind, and they all announced their ideas and announcements for recruiting talents .
With the help of a group of internet celebrities and anchors, this statement was revealed to the outside world through live broadcast or video.
In addition to catering to the boss's ideas, the two major media companies are also in a stage of rapid development, and the demand for talent is exactly where demand exceeds supply.
After all, both live streaming and internet celebrities are emerging industries that are a blue ocean, and talents with "more than three years of experience" are almost rare.
With a huge influx of capital, the bubble has blown up before the cake has even grown bigger, and countless companies and platforms have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The talent pool in the industry was too small to meet the demand, which was not enough to absorb the talent internally, let alone expand the scale.
And precisely because the industry is new, if you want to find suitable talents, there is no other way except to screen them through the process of elimination.
Among them, in addition to consolidating the basic live broadcast business, Xiaorenren Media has not ignored the future potential of the short video business. After all, this is the direction determined by the boss.
What's more, Yang Zimi of Xiaorenwu Media has now completely transferred his food broadcasting to the short video platform, using both short videos and live broadcasts without delaying either side, but instead making further progress.
In addition, most anchors are also taking into account the development of short video platforms, including Xiaorenwu Media, which has added a short video department and even expanded its office space by one floor.
With the two major media outlets using a group of internet celebrities under their control to speak out and show an attitude of "thirsty for talent", countless people who were interested could no longer suppress their inner impulse and bravely took the first step.
The human resources departments of the two major media outlets are facing unprecedented challenges. After all, with so many resumes floating around like snowflakes, just screening them is a difficult decision.
Especially in the internet celebrity industry, there is no rigid standard for defining talent. Unlike other industries, academic qualifications can be used to screen out a large number of people.
Although Papi Jiang of Yinian Media has a master's degree, if the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Xiaorenren Media were put together, they couldn't even make up a college student (funny).
Without a unified standard, even senior HRs feel that they have encountered the biggest test in their careers. This is a high-end game!
In the end, the two major media outlets were forced into a corner and simply shook hands and started working together to launch an online campaign, using the slogan "Everyone is an Internet Celebrity" for promotion.
They even came up with a unique idea to create a so-called Internet celebrity team, where everyone is divided into teams based on their talents and hobbies. For example, the game anchor is led by Liu PDD, and the food broadcast is led by Yang Zimi...
In this way, resumes are sorted and categorized, from large-scale screening to specialized talent selection.
Among them, Zhang Dayi, who tasted the sweetness of Zhou Dongsheng, also took the initiative to participate in this activity with the idea of returning the favor. She reached a cooperation with Yinian Media and set up a "Beautiful as a Flower" team.
For a time, this online event where "everyone is an internet celebrity" was so hot just for the auditions that it sparked a wave of discussion on the Internet.
What was posted in Li Jiaqi’s sisters group was exactly the video released by Zhang Dayi’s “Beautiful as a Flower” team.
Zhang Dayi, who just played the leading female role in "The Boring Life of Zhou Dongsheng", is currently well-known and popular, and the attention she receives is also among the best.
After watching the video, Li Jiaqi couldn't help but feel excited. Should he give it a try?
There is no harm in submitting a resume anyway, especially under the instigation of a group of sisters in the group, Li Jiaqi replied jokingly.
"Okay, then I'll try to vote. If I really get elected, sisters have to canvass for me to vote!"
"You vote, I vote, Qiqi will debut tomorrow!"
"Protect the best Qiqi in the world!"
"Although, I still want to support the CP of Qiqi and Dongsheng!"
