Zhang Shihao went to communicate with other shareholders to confirm Zhou Wang's performance of duties, while Zhou Wang lit a cigar and sat by the window in a daze.
This was his first time smoking a cigar.
Zhou Wang had seen a movie called "The Godfather" before, and at that time he felt that this thing looked very cool...
Of course, in today's era, cigars that have lost their mystery are no longer high-end gadgets. Although Zhou Wang knew that the "Cohiba Beiko 56" that Zhang Shihao threw to him would definitely not be cheap.
Zhang Shihao didn't instruct him on the so-called correct way to smoke a cigar. He just casually threw one to him, said, "Smoke one for fun?", and then made a call.
So Zhou Wang, out of curiosity, took a random shot and played with it.
He does know that the main purpose of cigars is to savor the aroma that lingers between the lips and teeth, but probably because he is still a bitch at heart, and there is really no point in getting tobacco that can't reach his lungs...
Letting the cigar burn in his hand, Zhou Wang's mind was still stuck on the system interface.
To be honest, when Zhou Wang saw the first wave of system prompts, he didn't have much trouble.
If it had been a month ago, Zhou Wang would have been extremely excited when he saw such a generous reward. After all, he gave away a house, a car and a watch, but now...
His threshold has been raised.
I won't mention Maybach, as everyone is familiar with it. After all, anyone in the comment section of a certain audio channel can give some advice and discuss in a serious way which interior is better looking.
According to the system's explanation, "Binjiang·Ginkgo Hui" is one of the most famous large flats with river views in Hangzhou. It is the dream house of countless people. The system was originally going to award him the largest apartment in it, worth 5,000. More than ten thousand.
After the rewards were reset, the Maybach S680 turned into a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which turned four to five million into tens of millions. This was a bit of a surprise.
But what's even more awesome is the replacement of real estate.
"Greentown·Peach Blossom Spring" can be said to be one of the top real estate properties in Hangzhou. If extended from certain angles, it can even remove the "one".
It is recognized by many people as one of the top ten villas in China. It is a style that is extremely preferred by some established businessmen. There are many celebrities who own real estate here.
For example, Jack Ma, who regretted creating the Forty Thieves, and Lao Ding from a certain trade.
Of course, it is unknown whether the property inside was given to them by others or bought by them themselves...
Zhou Wang guessed that they might not live there for a long time. After all, these big guys were unlikely to expose their real addresses to the public.
But no matter how much of the name of this community is derived from marketing, it is undeniable that this is definitely one of the top luxury homes in Hangzhou.
The system gave him this set. The system's own valuation is around 160 million. It shouldn't be the best among them, but it's not far behind.
ωwш .тт kΛn .CO
The book value is not much different from his top apartment in Mingcheng, but in terms of location and area, the average price is much more expensive than the apartment in Spring Eye.
After all, the Eye of Spring is in the center of Mingcheng City, but the Peach Blossom Spring is in Old Yuhang, away from the prosperous area of Hangzhou. It is a classical Suzhou-Hangzhou style garden mansion with an area of more than 900 square meters on the certificate, but the actual area exceeds 6 acres...
Zhou Wang didn't pay attention to the last two watches for the time being, they felt more like additions to the gift package.
But on second thought, it's hard to say because it's a random model. What if the most expensive model from Patek Philippe and Richard Mille comes with it?
If Zhou Wang remembers correctly, there are many Patek Philippe watches with a public price of tens of millions, and there seems to be one worth more than 200 million.
Although the possibility is unlikely, you can still look forward to it a little.
…
Not long after, Zhang Shihao returned, and this time the two of them talked much more casually. They talked about the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the romance in Yunnan Province, and even talked about some obscene topics together. Hey hey hey"…
But just don't talk about business.
It wasn't until another hour later that Zhang Shihao glanced at his Rolex Green Gold, stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, Mr. Zhou, the other shareholders are here."
The appointment of supervisors is not decided by Zhang Shihao alone, but must also be elected by the shareholders' meeting.
I don't know if he was prepared in advance, but it took less than two hours to gather the other four shareholders.
Arriving at the conference room, Zhou Wang also met four other shareholders.
One is a representative from the Zhang Group, and there are three natural persons...
I just don't know if it's Zhou Wang's illusion. Although everyone looks like a successful person, Zhou Wang always feels that they are all puppets...
The shareholders' meeting went very quickly. After all, the only issue was "supervisor election."
The previous supervisor did not even attend, but Zhang Shihao submitted his resignation letter to the shareholders' meeting on his behalf.
The whole process took less than twenty minutes, and Zhou Wang was successfully elected as the new supervisor of Wuyou Media with four votes in favor and one abstention.
The normal term is three years, but if Zhou Wang doesn't want to work, he can resign early, which doesn't matter.
Zhang Shihao also made it clear to Zhou Wang that the position of deputy general manager would be reserved for Zhou Wang at any time.
After the shareholders' meeting, Zhang Shihao personally took Zhou Wang to the office.
"Brother, there is only one room suitable for you at the moment, so you may not have much choice..."
On the way, Zhang Shihao said to Zhou Wang apologetically.
Zhou Wang quickly waved his hand, "I don't have any requirements for the office. Anyway, I won't be in the company often, so it doesn't matter if it's simple."
Zhang Shihao just smiled slightly. It wasn't until he took Zhou Wang to an office at the end of the 19th floor, just opposite Zhang Shihao. After bypassing the entrance hall where a separate front desk could be set up, and seeing the office in front of him, Zhou Wang realized that he was "naive" Already...
The space is more than 100 square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows on one side. The layout is exactly the same as Zhang Shihao's, with office area, rest area, and reception area all available.
The basic office items have already been put in place, but some computers and other things are missing.
What makes Zhou Wang most satisfied is the decoration style. It is not old-fashioned. On the contrary, it is the same as the overall style of Wuyou Media, with a sense of trendy design everywhere.
"Mr. Zhang, is this what you said about not having a choice?"
Zhou Wang helplessly looked at Zhang Shihao, who had a smile on his face, "Where is the executive office? If I read it correctly, this one is also built according to the standards of the president's office, right?"
"Hahaha, there are actually several vacant executive offices, but this is the only one worthy of your unique status as supervisor. How about it, are you satisfied?"
Zhang Shihao laughed loudly and stood at the door and stretched out his hand to Zhou Wang. "Brother, you can go in and experience it yourself. If there are no problems, it is settled. I will inform the administration to get all the office supplies for you."
Zhou Wang did not continue to make false excuses. After all, he was indeed quite satisfied... Nonsense, who could be dissatisfied?
Just walking around in a circle, I was amazed when I looked around.
After all, he has never worked seriously before. How could he imagine that in the grand office, there is a bathroom with a shower and a lounge with a 1.8-meter single bed hidden in the back...
It doesn't seem right. Even for those who have worked seriously, I'm afraid it's hard to imagine.
After all, not everyone is a CEO.
Is this bed really just for taking a nap?
After a while, Zhou Wang, who was lost in thought, understood...
It can also be used to stay up late and work overtime!
As an executive, you must dedicate yourself to your career, so it is reasonable and okay to sleep directly in the office if you work overtime too late.
…
After finalizing the office, Zhang Shihao asked Zhou Wang if he needed an assistant and secretary, but Zhou Wang refused.
Zhang Shihao originally just asked politely. After all, Zhou Wang might not be able to trust the people around him, so he just left it to Zhou Wang to think about it himself.
The administration took the cleaners to tinker with Zhou Wang's new office, and the two returned to Zhang Shihao's office. However, not long after they sat down, Zhang Shihao's secretary came to ask for work instructions.
I don't know if it was to avoid suspicion, but Zhang Shihao's secretary was not a woman, but a young man with a capable temperament.
"Mr. Zhang, the Brioni brand representative came to visit you again. This time he also brought their brand's designer from Italy, Mr. Fabio. His original words were... they brought sincerity."
"Fabiao?"
Before Zhang Shihao spoke, Zhou Wang had already raised his head in surprise.
"How... do we know each other?"
Zhang Shihao was startled.
"If this Brioni sells men's suits, then maybe you know him."
Zhou Wang said with a slight smile.
Seeing that Zhou Wang had no intention of saying more, Zhang Shihao didn't ask any more questions. He just glanced at him, then turned around and continued to ask the secretary:
"They said they brought sincerity? What does Mr. Zheng mean?"
"After contacting them, Mr. Zheng believed that cooperation would be a win-win choice, so..."
"I understand. Take them to the reception room No. 3 first. I'll come over later."
Zhang Shihao pondered for a moment and then spoke.
After the secretary left, Zhang Shihao looked at Zhou Wang and said with a smile, "Would you like to go and see it together?"
Zhou Wang asked thoughtfully: "Are they here to seek cooperation?"
"Yes, the current number of sponsors for Wuyou Night is actually full, but there is indeed no clothing category..."
Zhang Shihao briefly explained the cause and effect to Zhou Wang.
After a while, Zhou Wang became clear.
With Wuyou Media's current influence, there will naturally be no shortage of sponsors for hosting an annual ceremony.
Some of the sponsors of Wuyou Night are Meidi, Youyorou, Dongfeng Citroen, Are You Hungry, etc., and the overall sponsor is the furniture brand Oupai.
A month ago, Brioni took the initiative to contact Wuyou Media. Zhang Shihao was originally surprised.
After all, although Brioni is a niche brand, it is a real luxury brand. It usually supplies top celebrities and foreign elites, and it can be unique in terms of style.
However, the conditions offered by the other party were really unacceptable to Zhang Shihao.
"Not only do they require an advertising space and an independent sales space that are second only to the title sponsor, but they also don't pay a penny. They just provide some formal dresses for the red carpet. That's fine... They also ask for it by name. Three signed artists with no less than 20 million fans will promote them for free."
Zhang Shihao said with some mockery.
At this time, Zhou Wang was able to confirm that this Brioni was the suit brand that had knocked him out. At the same time, he also thought of Mr. Fabio... Wasn't that the Brioni design that Jiang Qingkui originally contacted? Teacher?
Tsk, this can happen too.
"Second brother, you must have refused before, right?"
"Of course, I haven't been kicked in the head by a donkey. Who would agree to such an outrageous condition?"
Zhang Shihao smiled.
"Then why are they here now?"
"Of course I refused to give up. I didn't say anything at the time. I just left the matter of cooperation to Mr. Zheng... Oh, Mr. Zheng is the person in charge of planning the party and one of the company's vice presidents. His full name is Zheng Shifeng. "
As Zhang Shihao spoke, he remembered that Zhou Wang had not met Zheng Shifeng yet, and added an introduction.
"Oh, I seem to have heard his name."
Zhou Wang nodded.
Although Zhang Shihao is surprised, why do you know everyone?
But he didn't ask Zhou Wang where he had heard of it. He just talked about it and patted his head, as if he remembered something.
"By the way, you are now assuming the role of supervisor. Logically speaking, you should at least convene a meeting with the company's middle and senior management to introduce you to them. However, in the past two days, everyone has been very busy due to preparations for the Wuyou Night. Most of them They probably aren't in the company right now, so brother, do you think we should wait until tomorrow night?"
Zhang Shihao smiled and said, "After the Wuyou Night is over, we will have an After Party. It is an invitation-only invitation system. Most of them are our own people. Then I will introduce you to the people in the company one by one. What do you think?"
"Of course I'm fine."
Zhou Wang said with a smile, "I just happened to be lazy and wait and see, lest you be too busy due to Wuyou Night and want to catch my young man. I can't refuse you..."
Zhang Shihao pointed at Zhou Wang and laughed. They chatted for a while before getting up and heading to the reception room together.
…
In order to meet different needs, large companies will have reception rooms of different specifications. For example, Wuyou Media's No. 3 reception room is a small reception room suitable for conversations between five or six people.
Against the backdrop of a study-style decoration, a circle of randomly placed sofas and a coffee table in the middle create a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
At this time, three people were already sitting on the dark blue sofa.
One Chinese and two foreigners.
Hua Xia is a mature woman in her thirties, wearing black stockings and a white skirt. She has good looks and a good temperament, with a confident smile on her lips.
The two foreigners next to her were both men, one was a bearded man with an artistic temperament, and the other was a bald man dressed like a dog.
"Nora, are you sure you can convince Mr. Zhang?"
The bald man asked at this time.
"Oh, Mr. Lucas, don't you still believe in my abilities?"
Wu Nala smiled lightly, "Besides, Mr. Fabio also brought sincerity, I think it is enough to convince Mr. Zhang."
"Haha, before you became the marketing manager of China, you were Briony's most powerful sales representative in China. Of course I believe in your ability."
Lucas laughed, and then said solemnly: "Nala, you should also know that if you can win the sponsorship right of Wuyou Night this time, it will become an important node in the company's strategic transformation. If successful, I will report it to the headquarters for replacement. Please take credit."
"I still don't quite understand why we have to sponsor such a low-level party. This damages our Briony's honor!"
At this time, the bearded designer Fabio said in Italian: "That is a gathering of a group of Chinese network anchors. There are not even a few celebrities. I insist that only an Oscar-level party is our goal! "
Because he was speaking Italian, Lucas did not worry about Wu Nala beside him, kept smiling, and responded lightly in Italian:
"Old man, it's time to recognize the reality. The fact is that our Brioni's development in China has been tepid. Look at Zegna and Armani. We have been left behind too much... What we have to do now , is to use all reasonable means to increase our visibility. Don't underestimate this party, its influence in China is far beyond your imagination."
"Besides, by displaying together with those popular brands, Brioni is more likely to attract attention. This is called the contrast effect, isn't it?"
Lucas said with a sly smile at the end.
Fabio didn't say anything more, he just muttered something dissatisfied.
At this time, the door of the reception room was opened, and the secretary who had previously received them stepped aside. Then in the sight of the three of them, two men with a huge age difference, but both very elegant, walked in one after another. Still talking and laughing about something.
Seeing Zhang Shihao in front of her, Wu Nala stood up first, followed by Lucas, and finally the somewhat reluctant Fabio.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, let me introduce myself. I am the Brioni brand representative who is negotiating cooperation with your company this time. My name is Wu Nala."
The woman showed a charming and friendly smile, and shook hands while bowing slightly, which made her chest seem more and more heavy.
"The person next to me is Mr. Lucas, who came all the way from the headquarters. He is currently the deputy marketing director of Brioni. He actually hopes to achieve a deeper cooperation with your company, not just for the free night..."
"This is our senior designer Mr. Fabio, he has brought the latest work..."
Zhang Shihao smiled and shook hands with the three of them, and then introduced Zhou Wang next to him.
"Our only supervisor is Wuyou, Mr. Zhou Wangzhou."
When she heard Zhang Shihao's introduction, Wu Nala's smile visibly jumped, with surprise and surprise in her eyes.
Listen to Zhang Shihao's introduction, the "only" supervisor.
At an age when Zhou Wang looks like a college graduate, it is outrageous that he is a supervisor of a company with a market value of 2 billion. Zhang Shihao also specifically mentioned "the only one", which shows Zhou Wang's status in his heart.
This has nothing to do with whether Zhou Wang is the only supervisor, but the attitude revealed by Zhang Shihao's words.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou~"
Wu Nala quickly put on a smile again, and held Zhou Wang's hand to greet him, but when her delicate fingers left, she didn't know if it was unintentional, but seemed to have lightly brushed Zhou Wang's palm.
Um?
Zhou Wang didn't expect that this kind of plot that only existed in novels would actually happen to him in reality.
Just looking at the mature beauty's normal smile, Zhou Wang wondered if he was overthinking it.
After getting to know each other, the secretary served hot tea and then left, leaving only five people in the reception room.
"Miss Wu, I don't like wasting unnecessary time, so let's get straight to the point."
Before Wu Nara could speak, Zhang Shihao went straight to the point and said with a faint smile: "Let me confirm first, Briony still wants to sponsor the No-Priority Night, right?"
"Yes..."
Wu Nara's originally prepared opening remarks were not used, and she immediately felt depressed as if she had lost the initiative. However, before she could say anything more, Zhang Shihao had already spoken immediately.
"Then the conditions you gave are any different from last time... Miss Wu, please forgive me, all I want to hear is the difference. If you still only send a few sets of clothes, I think, well-known artists under Wuyou , No one is so poor that he can't even afford a dress."
Zhang Shihao seemed to be joking, but his aggressive momentum increased instead of decreasing.
Zhou Wang, who had been observing all the details, noticed that Wu Nara moved her round hips slightly. Although her expression did not show much, Zhou Wang knew that she was actually a little confused.
Although there was some disagreement with Briony, Zhou Wang's focus at this time was not this. He really came with a learning attitude. After all, he lacked similar experience.
At this time, Wu Nala took a deep breath and seemed to adjust. The smile on her face became calm and confident again:
"Mr. Zhang, since you want to get straight to the point, then on behalf of Briony, I will directly show you our sincerity..."
"First point, in addition to the sponsored dress, we at Briony are willing to pay a certain amount of sponsorship fees to achieve this cooperation with Wuyou Media, but the standard can only be a 'friendship price'..."
"Second, during the live broadcast at the booth, we are also willing to follow your company's standards and offer 100 purchase quotas at a real loss price..."
"Third, we have comprehensively upgraded the clothing we plan to sponsor this time. All the dresses are made by our senior designer Mr. Fabio. They are truly high-end dresses that cannot be found on the market..."
After Wu Nala finished speaking in one breath, before Zhang Shihao could reply, the expressions of Lucas and Fabio on the side changed.
Fabio didn't know what he said in Italian, but his tone was not very good, and Lucas whispered eagerly: "Nala, do you know what you are talking about? This has exceeded the maximum authority given by the headquarters. …"
"Mr. Lucas, I know, but I think this is the best way to show sincerity. You don't need to worry. I will explain it to the headquarters in person. I will bear the consequences alone."
"you..."
While the ugly-looking Lucas and the calm-looking Wu Nala were arguing in a low voice, Zhou Wang was also thoughtful.
Is this also a business tool for negotiation?
It seems that there is "internal strife", but it obviously has the effect of "showing sincerity", and more subtly, as the other party, it seems that it is not easy to ask for more at this time.
Zhou Wang, who is now considered proficient in psychology, can see a lot at a glance.
And it doesn't matter whether Wu Nara and Lucas are acting or not. Looking at Zhang Shihao's appearance, he has indeed begun to seriously weigh the conditions mentioned by the other party.
"Mr. Zhang, this is the most favorable cooperation condition for your company that I can get. In fact, you can even ask Mr. Zheng. The conditions I negotiated with him were far inferior to this, but Mr. Zheng also thinks that this will be the best cooperation condition for your company." A win-win cooperation..."
Seeing Zhang Shihao's delay in speaking, Wu Nala followed up with a sincere statement.
Zhang Shihao turned the teacup noncommittally. While Wu Nala and Lucas were waiting for his answer quietly, Zhang Shihao suddenly turned to look at Zhou Wang and asked with a smile:
"Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Wang was not too surprised that Zhang Shihao would ask for his opinion. After all, he asked him to come with him, so it was inevitable.
But what Zhou Wang needs to judge at this time is whether Zhang Shihao hopes to promote this cooperation, or whether the cooperation between Wuyou Media and Brioni will bring enough benefits for him to not care about the previous " "Private grudge"...
After a while, Zhou Wang had the answer. He smiled and said, "Tomorrow night is the night of Wuyou. Is it still... too late?"
Zhang Shihao did not respond, but a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Instead, Wu Nara quickly answered with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, we have prepared everything in advance. As soon as the agreement is signed, we will be able to enter the venue within 12 hours. All you, Wuyou Media, need to do is... …"
"Ms. Wu, and two gentlemen from abroad."
Wu Nara was speaking with enthusiasm, but Zhang Shihao suddenly interrupted her with a smile. He glanced at his watch, raised his head and said:
"I'm really sorry, our Wuyou closed-door meeting is about to start. Would you like to go downstairs to have afternoon tea in our Wuyou shared canteen? It tastes pretty good..."
Wu Nala was startled, and then said eagerly: "But Mr. Zhang, about cooperation..."
"Oh, um, this way, I will meet with the executives again at the meeting, and then I will give you an answer. You go sit in the cafeteria for a while and take a rest, okay?"
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang..."
Wu Nara wanted to say something else, but Zhang Shihao had already confessed and left.
Zhou Wang smiled and followed Zhang Shihao out.
Wu Nala didn't know what went wrong, and was thinking carefully when Lucas and Fabio, who looked confused, came over.
"Nala, didn't Mr. Zhang ask us to go to the restaurant and wait? We should be patient at this time. In the words of you Chinese people, you can't eat tofu in a hurry..."
Lucas said with a smile.
"I'm indeed thirsty. Let's go have a drink."
Fabio also nodded in agreement and spoke in broken Chinese.
Wu Nala almost couldn't help but roll her eyes. You really don't understand Chinese language and art at all. Why are you showing off your shallow understanding of Chinese culture?
At this time, Wu Nala had vaguely figured out what the problem was. It was obvious that Zhang Shihao had already had some thoughts, and the problem arose after he asked Zhou Wang...
After thinking about it clearly, Wu Nara didn't care to talk to the two of them anymore, and hurriedly opened the door and chased out.
The high heels hit the floor rapidly, and finally Wu Nara caught up with them before they entered the office.
What's interesting is that Zhang Shihao walked in directly as if he didn't see her. In a hurry, Wu Nala didn't care much and took two more steps. She fell into Zhou Wang's arms with an exclamation and also Finally stopped him.
With her arms full of warm and fragrant nephrite, Zhou Wang had no fluctuations at first, but Wu Nala kept staggering for some reason when she stood up, so she gave Zhou Wang two powerful punches...
Zhou Wang knew for the first time that "fat but not greasy" could also be used to describe women.
When Wu Nala finally stood up with a blushing face, facing Zhou Wang's half-smiling gaze, she did not dodge, but asked sincerely:
"Mr. Zhou, may I know why you don't want to cooperate with Brioni?"
"Seeing as you taught me something, okay..."
"ah?"
Wu Nara heard this inexplicably.
"My name is Zhou Wang."
Zhou Wang smiled, and after finishing speaking, he walked straight into the glass door, leaving Wu Nala alone with a confused look on her face.
