Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 688: The Art of Deception
Inside the Yinian Media meeting room, the company's HR, who is in charge of personnel, was patiently communicating with a handsome man who also had a hint of femininity.
"The contract we give you here is the best treatment we can give you at Yi Nian Media. Newcomers generally don't get this treatment. Only when you become a regular employee can you barely enjoy the same treatment as you."
"This is because our boss is very optimistic about your potential, so he made an exception for you. I hope you will not let our boss down..."
The HR spoke in a gentle tone, conveying the company's ideas truthfully and calmly, although she didn't know what was so special about this ordinary man in front of her that could alarm the boss...
But as a human being, this is obviously not something she needs to worry about. It is enough to complete the task .
"Ah, Boss, are you referring to Zhou... Dongsheng?" Li Jiaqi seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Finally, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.
How could a small fry like him actually get Zhou Dongsheng to personally intervene? Li Jiaqi felt that it was somewhat unreal, and even suspected that it was just a common rhetoric used by personnel.
After all, in the human resources field, there are many people who don't work in human resources.
"That's right, our boss is Zhou Dongsheng. I believe you must have watched the video program "The Boring Life of Zhou Dongsheng". I believe that people who often surf the Internet should have a certain understanding of our boss's influence..."
"In addition, in the industry of online celebrity media, our boss is well-known for his keen eye for talent . Whether it's [Papi Jiang] or [Mu Ziqi], they were all discovered and created by our boss..."
"Therefore, many people in the industry have dubbed our boss the 'Internet celebrity mentor'. If our boss takes a fancy to you, you may become the next top Internet celebrity!"
The HR person boasted with eyes closed, and made no secret of her admiration for her boss in her words. Of course, it was not because she was a fan of Zhou Dongsheng, nor was she intimidated by Zhou Dongsheng's domineering aura and bowed down to him.
It was simply because, through the glass of the conference room, the HR department had already seen the boss and Mr. Xu walking straight towards this side.
This made the HR personnel feel moved. Regardless of whether the boss was coming over here or could hear him or not, they just closed their eyes and started bragging. What if?
You may not be involved in HR affairs, but you must understand the company’s social customs.
Sure enough, just when he was halfway through the speech, the boss pushed the door open and walked in, and all the nice words fell into Zhou Dongsheng's ears.
When the HR saw the smile slowly blooming on Zhou Dongsheng's face, they couldn't help but feel relieved. It's a sure thing, this wave of flattery has worked!
However, Zhou Dongsheng obviously didn't pay attention to what the personnel said. His smile was simply because he saw Li Jiaqi, the God of Wealth, sitting there timidly.
I couldn't help laughing out loud. Although it is just an unpolished jade at the moment, as half of the future live streaming e-commerce industry, the potential revenue it represents is worth a fortune.
Although he has changed the course of his life, gold will always shine, and Zhou Dongsheng does not think that such a piece of uncut jade will be buried in his hands.
The vast undeveloped blue ocean of live streaming e-commerce is unlikely to disappear in the long river of history simply because of personal changes.
Although Li Jiaqi is undoubtedly an iconic figure in the live streaming industry, it does not mean that he is the decisive factor in determining the rise and fall of the industry...
In a flash, Zhou Dongsheng collected his scattered thoughts, and as he and Xu Ruoan stepped into the conference room, the room fell into a brief silence.
When Li Jiaqi heard Zhou Dongsheng's uncontrollable laughter, he turned around immediately. Although he had expected this in his mind, he was actually shocked to see Zhou Dongsheng standing in front of him.
Li Jiaqi's brain was blank for a brief moment, but as an experienced sales elite, he still had the ability to react on the spot.
Li Jiaqi immediately stood up and took the initiative to greet him enthusiastically, "Hello, Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou, I am your loyal fan. I often watch your videos, and I was inspired by you to sign up for the event..."
"I never thought I would have the opportunity to come to Yi Nian Media. Can I take a photo with you? It would be even better if you could sign an autograph for me!"
Li Jiaqi looked like a little fan, his eyes full of anticipation. This kind of performance made Zhou Dongsheng secretly happy and he inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment.
Especially with Li Jiaqi's magical voice that Zhou Dongsheng is so familiar with, this feeling becomes even stronger.
"Of course no problem!" Zhou Dongsheng fully demonstrated his approachable attitude and even took the initiative to put his arm around Li Jiaqi's shoulders. This friendly performance made Li Jiaqi flattered.
Wow, is the boss so humble? He is so charming. He originally said that he was a fan, but the courtesy was far more than the reality.
But now, Li Jiaqi feels that he has truly been won over by his fans. As a newcomer who is about to join Yinian Media, isn't it reasonable for him to become a fan of his boss?
"I happened to be in the company today. When I heard that you were here, I came to take a look. Through Zhang Dayi's introduction, I was attracted to you at first sight, so I specially invited you to come..."
"How is it? Are you satisfied with our Yi Nian Media?"
Zhou Dongsheng very casually pulled over a chair and sat next to Li Jiaqi. He took over the lead in the conversation and actively communicated with Li Jiaqi.
Xu Ruoan couldn't help but feel concerned by the polite and courteous attitude. He secretly looked at the handsome young man in front of him, wanting to see what was so special about this man that the boss treated him like this.
After all, there are enough facts to prove that anyone who can be appreciated by Zhou Dongsheng always has his or her shining points, but this shining point is obviously not something that ordinary people can notice.
After taking a closer look, apart from seeing that Li Jiaqi's makeup was very delicate and natural, there was not much else to see.
Perhaps for the general public, men wearing makeup is still a rare thing, but for Xu Ruoan, who once worked in the entertainment industry, it is really common.
After all, what celebrity doesn’t wear makeup?
Not only celebrities, but also many outstanding male makeup artists who work behind the scenes have outstanding attainments in fashion and aesthetics.
Although this identity label is very likely to cause prejudice and discrimination, it does not prevent them from thriving in the industry.
For Xu Ruoan, who once worked in the entertainment industry, she naturally wouldn't think this was a strange trait.
Moreover, as a beauty shopping guide, Li Jiaqi has to master this knowledge, which is the most basic professional quality...
Although he didn't see any clues, Xu Ruoan didn't care. If everyone could see it, wouldn't there be talent scouts everywhere?
"Satisfied, very satisfied. It's my great honor to join Yinian Media, but..." Li Jiaqi seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Do you want to ask why I took a fancy to you?" Zhou Dongsheng saw through Li Jiaqi's thoughts and asked with a smile.
"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Zhou can help me clear up my doubts..." After Zhou Dongsheng's words, Li Jiaqi simply did not hesitate and raised his questions directly.
Now, we have come to the area where Zhou Dongsheng is best at, the art of deception, and start!
"Things are valuable because they are rare. The reason why Internet celebrities are Internet celebrities is that they have the characteristics that can stand out from the general public. This characteristic creates their unique differentiation..."
"Although it is often said that there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same and everyone is a unique individual, we all know that most of the time, we are just a part of the vast majority of living beings..."
"Even on the Internet, I am just the silent majority. I don't have any special skills or talents that can impress people. At best, I can only be a spectator sitting in the audience."
"But some people are different. They are born for the stage. The only thing they lack is an opportunity to step onto the stage and display their talents. In my opinion, you are such a person."
Zhou Dongsheng spoke in an orderly manner, his tone revealing a sense of confidence that one is in control of everything, as if there was a magical power that could convince people.
This is the identity, plus the blessing brought by a series of successful cases, which adds a lot of value to these words.
Just like the same words have different weights when spoken by different people, even a nonsense statement can inexplicably add a bit of philosophy when it is attributed to Lu Xun.
After all, admiring the strong is human nature, so the desire to become stronger is also a basic human need.
And being able to gain recognition from the strong, rounded off, doesn't that mean I've become stronger?
Therefore, when Zhou Dongsheng gave Li Jiaqi a solemn affirmation, as the person involved, Li Jiaqi couldn't help but feel an impulse of "a gentleman will die for his friend" in his heart.
How could I deserve such an evaluation?
"Xiao Li, don't underestimate yourself. Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, I have full confidence in my vision. You definitely have the talent to impress others."
"You are not the next [Papi Jiang], nor the next [Mu Ziqi], but a unique [Li Jiaqi]."
Having said this, Li Jiaqi felt his knees go weak and he almost knelt down to Zhou Dongsheng. How could this be chicken soup for the soul?
This is simply like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for the soul. The food was cooked too well and the ingredients were too strong, making Li Jiaqi dizzy and somewhat weak.
But the effect was definitely immediate. At least judging from Li Jiaqi's expression, Zhou Dongsheng's strong dose of medicine had achieved the expected effect he wanted.
Although this statement was a bit exaggerated, in order to get such a potential stock in his pocket, Zhou Dongsheng would certainly not be stingy with a few sweet words.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhou Dongsheng casually took the contract on the table and took a look at it. There was no exaggerated preferential treatment in terms of treatment. It was just a regular standard contract.
Zhou Dongsheng shook his head. "In my opinion, you deserve higher pay. All I need is one word. However, the company has its own rules..."
"But I believe that with your ability, it won't be long before you can get a new contract..."
Zhou Dongsheng closed the contract calmly and handed it to Li Jiaqi with a smile.
Li Jiaqi took the contract without hesitation, nodded seriously and said: "I will definitely use my ability to get a higher contract, and I will never let the boss down!"
After being persuaded by Zhou Dongsheng, Li Jiaqi finally rediscovered the sales passion he had when he first entered the beauty and cosmetics purchasing industry.
In order to achieve better sales results, he continues to study beauty products and personally tries every product to fully understand its features. It is because of this seriousness that he has gained the full trust of his customers.
This will enable us to achieve continuous growth in performance until we become the sales champion!
Success is never achieved overnight. Hard work is only the basic skill. As Li Jiaqi has become the top seller, he obviously has no lack of such basic skills.
"Okay, I hope you can keep up this spirit. I look forward to seeing you shine on the stage one day." Zhou Dongsheng said meaningfully.
As the saying goes, "One minute on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage." Obviously, Li Jiaqi still has a long way to go before he can truly step onto the stage of history.
Only by enduring the darkness before dawn can you enjoy the dividends when the industry arrives at dawn.
Fortunately, with the hope given by Zhou Dongsheng as support, it must be enough to give Li Jiaqi a reason to persevere.
But although persistence is a good thing, you also have to choose the right direction. If you insist on going in the wrong direction, it will be a waste of effort.
The old saying "Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of choosing the wrong profession" is probably about this truth. However, for Zhou Dongsheng, isn't it a piece of cake?
Here, Li Jiaqi picked up the pen on the table without hesitation and signed his name on the contract. From then on, he officially joined Yinian Media and became a member of the company.
Seeing another God of Wealth falling into his pocket, the smile on Zhou Dongsheng's face became brighter and brighter. However, if he wants to reap the fruits, he naturally needs to irrigate the resources.
Zhou Dongsheng was naturally prepared for this.
"Boss, what should I do?" After signing the contract, Li Jiaqi fully demonstrated his willingness to ask questions and took the initiative to ask, hoping to get some directional advice from Zhou Dongsheng.
"I told you that you have unique qualities. Joining One Thought Media is just a stage for you to display your talents. Therefore, you just need to stick to doing what you are good at and give full play to your strengths."
"As a mature beauty shopping guide, I believe you will be able to thrive in the field of beauty experts."
"If you really don't understand, Zhang Dayi is your role model, you can refer to her."
As he spoke, Zhou Dongsheng turned his head to Xu Ruoan who was standing beside him, and said with a smile: "I think the cooperative relationship between our company and Ruhan Holdings can go a step further."
"This is a good opportunity to expand the content scope of our company. Beauty is also a content direction with great potential, and we can't fall behind."
"Okay, boss!" Xu Ruoan finally woke up as if from a dream and agreed readily.
