~15 min read 2,912 words

"The company is developing so well now, Brother Yan, and the movie is filmed well! I really didn't expect that it only cost 200,000, but earned at least 30 million. Brother Yan, you have to make more movies."

In the company, after listening to the accountant finish the accounts for a period of time, good brother Liu Qiangdong was so excited that his eyes were almost red, and he directly put on a face.

It couldn't be blamed on him; it was indeed that the effect of this movie was too good. The goods that had been stored for half a year were sold out in just one month. The workers worked in three shifts, and the machines were about to smoke, but they were still in short supply.

Just this wave hit the name of the seasoning company, occupying a dominant position in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and expanding in all directions. The seasoning had been sold to most parts of the North China Plain.

Seasoning was produced like that, and many things couldn't make tricks, but in soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and other aspects, Wang Yan's seasoning still had a very characteristic flavor. However, it was not to say that it was much better than other similar products, just fresh. Once you ate it, you could remember this taste, and those who liked it naturally became supporters.

At the same time, in order to fight back against the small and large workshops that cracked the barbecue seasoning formula and started a price war with him, taking advantage of Wang Yan's own and the movie's great heat, he directly published the formula in the newspaper, completely coming to the competition of who has the lower cost.

And at this step, Wang Yan didn't lower the price. After all, he wanted to create a brand. He could lower the seasoning to a suitable price, but he couldn't make his seasoning very cheap. His seasoning price had to be slightly more expensive, which highlighted the quality and highlighted the brand...

"You, a hindsight player, didn't you disagree at the beginning?" Wang Yan looked disgusted.

"That's because I didn't expect it to be so profitable. If I had known it would be like this, Brother Yan, let alone 200,000, even if it were 2 million, I wouldn't say a word of nonsense."

"This thing won't earn more if you invest more money. After all, the market is only so big, and the profit might not be as much as it is now."

"It doesn't matter." Liu Qiangdong's thinking had already opened up. He said, "Brother Yan, is your old man just filming a movie? You are advertising in the movie. With the spread of the movie, the whole country knows. Other companies? Buying newspaper advertisements, TV advertisements, it's also tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions. Last year's CCTV bidding, didn't it sell for more than 30 million? You say its 30 million advertising effect, how much better can it be than our 200,000?"

"Not to mention that just relying on the movie, it earned more than 10 million, driving our seasoning sales to soar. Now it's sold out, completely in short supply. The scale of the factory is still expanding. This is not just a matter of 20 million. In my opinion, we still have to add 30 million in market expansion and factory expansion value."

"Come to think of it, 2 million to make a movie, Brother Yan, you filmed it so well, basically you won't lose money. As long as it is screened, as long as there is spread, ensuring our seasoning exposure, then we are earning, Brother Yan."

There was too much money, earned too fast, and came too easily. Liu Qiangdong was also red-eyed and wanted to earn more money and have greater development.

People are always like this: after earning a thousand, they want ten thousand; living on the ground, they want to go to heaven. It's just that the greed of people who open companies and do enterprises sounds good when said out—called sharp pioneering, active enterprising, called bigger and stronger, creating brilliance again.

However, Wang Yan didn't oppose his good brother's enterprising spirit and smiled: "I watched TV a few days ago, and there was a documentary playing. I'll study it these two days, and it'll be done if I directly film a documentary for our seasoning."

"I remember that the statistics I saw before said that there were nearly 300 million TVs, half of which were color TVs. Black and white TVs had entered the elimination period in towns. Filming a movie, the masses still have to go to the cinema. We film a documentary and put it directly on TV, which has a larger audience than the movie, and it is also more life-oriented. After all, what we sell is oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar."

"Good! Brother Yan, this is good! Just film this!" Liu Qiangdong was about to jump up. "It still has to be you, Brother Yan. I didn't even think that we could film a documentary. Film how our seasoning is produced..."

"Then who would watch that?" Wang Yan shook his head. "We have to film food, find people to make delicious food, and just use our seasoning. When people cook, everything on the table is our stuff, and the audience will remember our brand. Hey, speaking of this, we can specifically make a program and cooperate with the TV station. Just prepare a kitchen, find those famous masters to make home-cooked dishes, and put our seasoning full..."

"This is good, this is good!" Liu Qiangdong nodded repeatedly. "Brother Yan, if you ask me, just do this program first, and film the documentary later. Exactly, you also know the factory manager of the film studio, and you have a good relationship with him. We make the program, and we can find some stars to participate in the program. The chef makes the dishes, they taste them, and they are all acting. There is definitely no problem, and the masses are willing to watch."

Liu Qiangdong seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians and began to directly improve the program planning, and the proposal was very good.

"What you said makes sense. I'll study it later. Mainly, we don't know anyone at the TV station..."

After chatting with Liu Qiangdong for a while, the work for the next stage was determined. It was nothing more than the seasoning side continuing to expand production scale, continuing to expand the market, deeply cultivating the North China Plain region, and then extracting part of the funds to engage in computer matters. It was already 1995, and Internet software and hardware should start to be engaged in.

After such a turn, the two did their own things. Wang Yan went out to drive and went to a residential area.

Arriving at the third floor, he knocked on the door with a "dong dong dong" sound. The person who opened the door was Shen Ranran.

As soon as the door was closed, Shen Ranran jumped onto Wang Yan: "You finally came to find me. I missed you so much that I couldn't sleep."

"Really?"

"If you don't believe me, touch it..."

After the relationship broke through, when having fun, Shen Ranran was always very wild and also very changeable. All that acting skill was taken out and used on Wang Yan.

In the past period of time, there were indeed many things about the movie and the factory. Wang Yan was leisurely, but he also had to pay attention to the factory's production. Working in three shifts, he had to ensure logistics and safe production.

Zhuang Zhuang could follow him to the factory to accompany him, so Shen Ranran naturally could only sleep alone in an empty bed. However, she also knew that Wang Yan had many things to do—big bosses were all like this—and she didn't want to be unable to face Zhuang Zhuang, so she waited honestly for favor, only chatting on the phone at ordinary times.

And in fact, Shen Ranran also had things to do now. She was the heroine of a successful movie after all. If she didn't think about the lead, she still had many opportunities and could already make a living in the acting industry.

Of course, she was unwilling to be a supporting role, or even a smaller role. It was Wang Yan who persuaded her, saying that her acting skills were still very lacking and she needed to learn, study, and polish through time.

Shen Ranran also wanted to be dazzling on the screen, so she still calmed down to play those small roles...

After having fun, there was a halftime break.

"Are you finally busy with this period? Will you have more time in the future?"

"Not necessarily." Wang Yan played with the big treasure. "The company is bigger now, and there are more things. How can I, the big boss, be idle? But I will try my best to find time to accompany you."

"You should accompany Zhuang Zhuang more; I don't need it. Brother Yan, as long as you can think of me and can think of coming over when you are free, I will be satisfied. After all, I am a shameless woman who is a third party, so how can I ask for so much?"

Shen Ranran's words were very sudden, and the words were very aggrieved, saying as if she was about to cry.

Wang Yan exerted a little force on his hand, which made Shen Ranran break her work: "Oh, Brother Yan, you hurt me."

"Letting you act everywhere and not speaking well, you have to make things happen."

Shen Ranran buried her head in Wang Yan's neck: "Is what I said wrong? You just spend more time with Zhuang Zhuang. I only see you a few times a month, and it's still sneaky."

Wang Yan brought up what Shen Ranran said abroad before. Shen Ranran also pretended to be stupid, indicating that it had been too long and she didn't remember what she said at the beginning.

"I might have said it, or I might not have." Shen Ranran's long legs rode on Wang Yan's waist. "Brother Yan, am I so annoying to you?"

She looked like she was about to cry for you at any time, really tearful.

Wang Yan didn't entangle anymore and turned to say: "Before you said you wanted to establish a film and entertainment company, do you have any ideas?"

"What ideas can I have? Brother Yan, I definitely want to sign with your company. I listen to you; you say what to do, and I'll do it."

"I mean, do you want to manage this company and move from the front of the stage to behind the scenes?"

"Didn't you still let me exercise my acting skills? Brother Yan, why do you want me to do behind-the-scenes now?"

Wang Yan said: "I said let you exercise your acting skills because you want to be an actor. You can't just want to be the lead without corresponding acting skills. Otherwise, what if you can't catch other people's plays? Now asking if you want to do behind-the-scenes is to ask if you have any changes in ideas. After all, people are always changing, and what they think in the last second is different from this second."

Shen Ranran shook her head: "No! Brother Yan, I just want to be an actor and a star."

In the original play, Shen Ranran didn't continue to be an actor because she didn't want to follow Chu Caiyuan and saw through many problems in this industry, which was not what she wanted.

She wants to persist now because she is willing to follow Wang Yan, and Wang Yan himself is a director and has money, which is simply complete and has the ability to guarantee her life. At the same time, he also has the ability to take her on this path of acting, provide her with resources, let her have plays to act, and let her have the confidence to say no.

It's hard to say whether she likes Wang Yan as a person or Wang Yan's money, etc. After all, these combined are Wang Yan as a person...

Wang Yan nodded: "Good, then I'll find someone later. Anyway, it's my own company, and it's not too late for you to change your mind later."

"Right, I'm young now, so I definitely have to act. Wait until I'm old and yellow... Brother Yan, you won't want me anymore, will you?"

"How is that possible? You're already old and yellow, so how many years have we been together? Isn't there still affection? You don't think I'm just looking at your skin, do you?"

"Isn't it?"

"Yes."

"Hmm~ Brother Yan, you're bad..." Shen Ranran laughed wildly again.

After a while of frolicking, she suddenly said "ai": "Brother Yan, you want to open this company. Do you think Brother Cui is okay? He can be considered one of our own, right?"

Cui Lin previously served as Wang Yan's assistant director, adding a heavy stroke to his resume, and his work was also much smoother. Now he is also busy in the group.

Cui Lin can indeed be considered one of our own. They cooperated quite happily during the previous filming process, and Cui Lin often contacted him later. Previously, the movie box office was released, and Wang Yan announced the formula for barbecue seasoning, and the seasoning sold well. Cui Lin called to congratulate him.

It was not easy to cooperate with a big brother who was awesome to the sky. If it weren't inappropriate, Cui Lin would want to come to Wang Yan's front to shake every day, just afraid that Wang Yan would forget him.

Wang Yan nodded: "He is good. I'll ask his opinion later."

"He will definitely be willing to do it." Shen Ranran giggled. "He calls me every few days to care about me, letting me think about saying good things for him in front of you."

"Then look, this phone call wasn't wrong."

"Right, I have to tell him later that it was all because I helped him say good things that he could manage the company."

"You've grown up." Wang Yan nodded with a smile.

"Don't you think I've grown in other ways?" Shen Ranran invited to fight again dishonestly...

Wang Yan ate dinner here with Shen Ranran before going out and leaving.

And when he went downstairs, he saw a long-haired man's figure flash by in a hurry at the corner of the building and disappear.

Wang Yan seemed to have discovered nothing, lit a cigarette, and drove away.

After his taillights were gone, Tao Liangliang walked out from the corner in a daze. He walked to the downstairs of Shen Ranran in a daze and looked up at the third floor.

He had come long ago, wanting to ask Shen Ranran out for lunch. However, he saw Wang Yan's car. He originally wanted to go up and knock on the door, but he felt that Shen Ranran didn't like him anyway. If he disturbed Shen Ranran and Wang Yan talking about things, he was afraid it would be even worse.

So he intended to wait for Wang Yan to come down, meet by chance, invite Wang Yan to dinner, and call Shen Ranran. In that case, his invitation, which didn't have much success rate, would become 100%.

However, he didn't expect that Wang Yan didn't come down at all and stayed for a long time.

He had already convinced himself for an afternoon, but no matter how he found reasons, there was no reason for a man and a woman to be together for so long. Especially since he secretly went to the door crack to listen.

He only felt that the sky had fallen and felt that life was loveless...

Wang Yan didn't feel anything. He drove back home, and Zhuang Zhuang was watching TV on the sofa.

"Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten." Wang Yan sat on the sofa and reached out to hug her shoulder.

Zhuang Zhuang symbolically showed disgust twice, but still let Wang Yan hug her.

"It's hard for you to always think about coming back to spend the night."

"It's not that I think about it, it's that I have no excuse not to come back to spend the night. After all, Ranran doesn't know that you know." Wang Yan held her horizontally in his arms. "But it's not a way to always be like this. I think I should let her know. After all, there will be a day when this matter can't be hidden. You are so smart, there is no reason you can't find out."

Zhuang Zhuang was very vigilant: "Are you playing any bad ideas? I tell you, impossible! Don't even think about it!"

"Look at you, I haven't said anything yet."

"You must be thinking like this!"

Between frolicking, the hardworking Master Wang became busy again...
