Chapter 189: Chapter 133: The True Investment
Zhou Wang, who was just about to sip his tea, blinked and didn’t snap back to reality for a while.
Draw a Prison?
Don’t try to fool me, Camille. Isn’t this just the “Land Purchase Card” from Monopoly?
But then Zhou Wang felt a surge of joy.
Even though the “Linlan International” building was a bit old, it was still a 31-story high-rise, right?
Meeting Jiang Qingkui today was absolutely worth it. Not only did it solve a potential problem along the way, but he also gained a valuable asset.
Although it’s just all the “unsold floors,” it shouldn’t be too few, right?
After all, most companies typically prefer to lease office space. Even if there are individual investments, the real estate market hasn’t been great these past few years, so there probably aren’t many buyers.
He noticed the hint that indicated “interaction was accelerated” due to “divine intervention.”
It seemed he wouldn’t have to wait long to find out the answer.
“Brother Dog, what do you think?”
At this moment, Yang Zhen’s voice called Zhou Wang back to reality.
“Sorry, I just got distracted. What did you say?”
Zhou Wang put down his teacup and asked.
“No worries, I was just asking if you’ve thought about the thing I mentioned to you last time?”
A hint of displeasure flashed in Yang Zhen’s eyes, but he still smiled as he repeated, “I was talking about the special live streaming event…”
Zhou Wang suddenly understood.
Yang Zhen had mentioned this to him last time.
To be honest, Yang Zhen’s e-commerce company grew so quickly not only because of his personal network but also due to a lot of help from Young Master Zhang. He provided internal pricing for big influencers, helping Yang Zhen make a name for his company.
But Yang Zhen was clearly not satisfied with just that.
His current proposal was to deepen the collaboration between his “Zhenyuan E-commerce” and “Wuyou Media,” with the special live stream being the first step.
In short, he wanted to sign a collaborative agreement to host a sales live stream with influencers from Wuyou Media and Zhenyuan E-commerce’s streamers at regular intervals.
Yang Zhen would pay a certain fee, but this price would surely be lower than the standard rate.
Yang Zhen had also subtly indicated that he wouldn’t let Zhou Wang lose out personally.
Last time, Zhou Wang didn’t respond directly for two reasons: first, he considered himself an outsider and didn’t want to interfere in the company’s daily operations.
The other reason was that he hadn’t officially taken over yet and didn’t know the situation, so he couldn’t make any promises to Yang Zhen.
He hadn’t expected Yang Zhen to bring it up again now.
“If the collaboration is mutually beneficial, it can be done in principle, but I can’t answer you right now. Let’s talk about it next month.”
Zhou Wang thought about it and gave a practical reply.
“Next month?”
Yang Zhen felt a bit anxious, “Come on, Brother Dog, just assign a few influencers to help. It should be just a word from you; why delay so long?”
“It’s not as simple as you think. Wuyou Media isn’t just dictated by me. After all, I’m only the third-largest shareholder.”
Zhou Wang shook his head.
“This… okay.”
Yang Zhen didn’t hide his disappointment, as to him, Zhou Wang’s response seemed like a veiled rejection.
Yang Zhen’s tone became a bit colder, “So, Brother Dog, since it’s getting late, can I invite you for dinner?”
“No need, I have things to do tonight. I’ll head back, let’s arrange something next time.”
Zhou Wang knew Yang Zhen was probably upset, but he didn’t care and just smiled.
“Alright then, I’ll see you out!”
Yang Zhen didn’t say more and got up to escort Zhou Wang out.
…
When they came out, the young ones in the marketing department were still there, but Zhang Danian was nowhere to be seen.
They looked at Zhou Wang walking side by side with Yang Zhen with complicated expressions, and when Zhou Wang looked over, they quickly lowered their heads.
Zhou Wang didn’t have much thought about these young people. He glanced at the clock nearing six-thirty and shook his head silently…
Still not being able to get off work at this hour, workers truly had it tough!
As they reached the company’s entrance, Yang Zhen adjusted his attitude and was about to bid farewell to Zhou Wang when a commotion drew both their attention.
Zhou Wang turned his head to see two groups arguing in the client reception area.
Because emotions were running high, people on both sides were standing. One group seemed to be Yang Zhen’s staff, while the other made Zhou Wang pause, as it was those two fellow countrymen he’d met before—the middle-aged man with the Phaeton and his driver.
As the two looked over, the driver was slamming the table and angrily saying in poorly pronounced Mandarin, “Isn’t this a scam? Why won’t you refund us!”
“It’s clearly stated in the contract that returns and refunds aren’t our responsibility. We met the sales target for you, didn’t we…”
“Nonsense, you said a million-follower influencer would help us sell, but none came!”
“We only said it would be a well-known influencer without specifying the exact number of followers…”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Bang!
The driver slammed a cup in anger.
Facing Zhou Wang’s surprised look, Yang Zhen was also a bit embarrassed. He quickly walked over and said sternly, “What’s going on? This is the company’s entrance! Why all the noise?”
“Mr. Yang!”
The sales department employees greeted Yang Zhen promptly.
