Whether celebrities or the public, business elites or ordinary employees, all find their "white moonlight" unforgettable.
This is more powerful and turbulent than a nostalgia bomb!
Even a boss who lives a debauched life and has been with countless women can't help but smoke a few quiet cigarettes when thinking of his past "white moonlight"!
Upon seeing the trending topic "Farewell to White Moonlight," they might even come to their "white moonlight's" city, buy two tickets, invite her out, and watch "33 Days of Falling Out of Love" again!
Regardless of whether this boss can rekindle his relationship with his "white moonlight," or even if they don't meet at all.
But Wang Yi earned money from the movie tickets!
Even if the other person didn't show up at all, and the boss watched the entire film alone, he still earned money from two tickets!
As for whether moral issues arise, that depends on a person's bottom line.
People with a bottom line will never cross the line.
People without a bottom line have already crossed the line countless times.
As soon as the new promotional campaign launched, it triggered a series of chain reactions that very night.
After "33 Days of Falling Out of Love" surpassed 400 million in total box office, its daily box office, which was originally only three to four million, is now climbing steadily again due to the new promotional campaign attracting people born in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
By 10 AM on the second day, the box office had exceeded four million, surpassing the entire previous day's total!
Surpassing ten million in daily box office again will not be an issue.
And this is only the first day; as the "Farewell to White Moonlight" campaign ferments, the box office will only get higher and higher!
Especially during the National Day holiday, it's likely to reach a peak.
After all, at that time, they will all be on holiday and free to meet their "white moonlight"...
Perhaps a trend will emerge!
When a movie transcends its essence and becomes a trend, with nationwide adoration, it will gain incredibly massive traffic and box office!
Wang Yi's goal is to create a national trend around "Farewell to White Moonlight"!
To replace the college student trend of "graduation season, breakup season"!
The "graduation season, breakup season" trend generated 400 million in box office.
The "Farewell to White Moonlight" trend, even if not ideal, should easily generate 100 million in box office.
Of course, if it can generate another 200 million in box office, that would be even better!
Wang Yi drove towards Yihe Yuanzhu, receiving a call from Zhu Changlin on the way:
"Boss, I contacted major Japanese suppliers, and they all got excited when they heard about a five-million-level large order. They all said they were available anytime and warmly welcomed us to visit!"
Wang Yi was not surprised at all.
In business, it's all about profit.
If anything can make people give up profit, it must be an even greater profit!
"When do you think we should go? They are available anytime!"
Wang Yi thought for a moment:
"Today is the 27th, so let's book tickets for this afternoon. We'll fly over, finish negotiations within three days, and return on the 30th!"
Wang Yi always prioritized efficiency in his work, disliking procrastination.
If something can be settled in a day, don't drag it out for a week!
If it takes a month to conclude negotiations, then sorry, he'd directly replace the person.
In the 21st century, efficiency is paramount!
Now, a new generation of mobile phones must be launched every year!
In the future, a new generation of mobile phones will need to be launched every six months!
Otherwise, it will fall behind and become irrelevant!
If a component negotiation drags on for two months, others' products will almost be manufactured!
This simply won't do!
For Xingyi Technology and Meiyou Technology, efficiency comes first!
What other companies decide in a week, Meiyou decides in an hour.
Projects that other companies take a month to advance, Meiyou implements in a week!
Why was Huawei able to challenge so many industry giants and international giants in such a short time?
Why did Huawei achieve in two or three years what international giants took more than ten years to accomplish?
It's efficiency!
Similarly, the main reason Wang Yi's entrepreneurship developed so rapidly was his emphasis on efficiency! Extreme efficiency!
Another reason is that others pursue single-line development in their ventures, similar to a single-core, single-thread processor.
Wang Yi, on the other hand, pursued multi-line development, similar to a multi-core, multi-thread processor, achieving collaborative processing and mutual reinforcement!
When others make Meiyou APP, they just create a small software to attract female users, which can easily be copied and replaced...
When Wang Yi made the Meiyou app, while attracting female users, he also centered around them to simultaneously develop female e-commerce, pure desire style clothing stores, beauty products, and even female-oriented novels...
Even in games like "Defend the Pomelo," female users account for over sixty percent.
This multi-line approach allows various businesses to quickly achieve commercial revenue by leveraging Meiyou APP's user base.
It also attracts new users, further expanding Meiyou APP's user base!
This business model is simply incomparable to single-threaded entrepreneurship.
A 100-point single core is not as good as ten 70-point multi-cores!
It is precisely by relying on extreme efficiency and multi-threaded development that Wang Yi was able to make Meiyou so big in such a short time!
Of course, Wang Yi can implement this multi-threaded model.
For anyone else, it would be a tragedy.
No other reason, as a reborn person, Wang Yi knows what is promising, won't make mistakes, and can push forward on multiple fronts without issue.
But for others, without the foresight of a reborn person, even single-threaded development might lead to bankruptcy, let alone multi-threaded.
For example, Wu Kai's bar, it has been open for a month, and excluding renovation costs, losses have already reached over a hundred thousand...
Zhu Changlin, knowing Wang Yi's efficiency, was decisive:
"Okay, boss, I'll have someone book the afternoon flights, and we'll fly over."
"Alright."
Wang Yi hung up the phone and headed straight for Yihe Yuanzhu.
Earlier, when it was decided to investigate the supply chain, Jian Ziyan had already handled visas and other necessary arrangements!
As a secretary, she had to arrange these matters in advance without Wang Yi's instruction.
At the sales office, as soon as Wang Yi parked his car, Liu Cai was already waiting at the entrance.
Waiting with her was a middle-aged man, the Marketing Director, Qian Kun.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize it was you yesterday,"
Liu Cai greeted him.
"It's nothing,"
Wang Yi waved his hand, not minding at all.
Liu Cai introduced:
"Mr. Wang, this is our Marketing Director, Mr. Qian Kun."
"Hello, Mr. Wang, our Chairman Wu instructed me to personally handle your deal."
Qian Kun extended his hand with a smile.
"Hello, I appreciate your effort, Mr. Qian. Please thank Chairman Wu for me!"
Wang Yi knew that Chairman Wu was the chairman of Longfor Group.
Titles these days are interesting; all managers and general managers are called "Mr./Ms. X."
Chairmen are called "Chairman X."
For a sole proprietorship like Wang Yi's, with no shareholders or chairman, he became "Boss Wang"...
It sounds a bit rustic, but there's no other way; calling him "Mr. Wang" would be lowering his status, and since he's not a chairman, he can only be called "Boss Wang"!
Qian Kun took Wang Yi to see the King Villa No. 68 again, and after confirming there were no issues, he led Wang Yi to sign the letter of intent to purchase.
Wang Yi acquired the King Villa, originally priced at 190 million with the Marketing Director's authority, for 170 million.
His personal influence was worth 10 million, and Professor Mo's influence was worth 10 million.
Next, normally, a loan would need to be processed.
Loans for this type of villa typically only cover fifty percent.
Only a few individual banks can go up to sixty percent.
For instance, ICBC, which has deep cooperation with Longfor, can offer sixty percent to a small number of high-quality major clients.
Even so, Wang Yi still had to pay a forty percent down payment, 68 million!
The loan was 102 million, with equal principal and interest for thirty years, and a monthly payment of over 540,000, of which over 400,000 was interest.
With equal principal payments, the initial monthly payment would be nearly 700,000, with over 500,000 in interest!
Wang Yi calculated, it was too troublesome and not cost-effective.
The monthly interest alone could buy a Mercedes-Benz!
It'd be better to buy it outright!
However, Wang Yi's personal account didn't have that much money, so he had to find ways to legally transfer part of Meiyou Company's profits to his own name after paying taxes!
Then, buy it in full directly!
Later, when he needed money, he could mortgage the villa.
Song Sining had already arranged all of this for him.
If he paid taxes directly, it would be at a 35% rate, meaning over 30 million on 100 million, which was too high.
So, earlier, Song Sining had registered a sole proprietorship for Wang Yi in a tax haven, and through this sole proprietorship, provided technical services to Meiyou.
For instance, the original Meiyou APP was developed solely by Wang Yi, then sold to Meiyou Technology, which paid Wang Yi's sole proprietorship.
Such a sole proprietorship does not need to pay corporate income tax, only personal income tax.
With a comprehensive tax rate of around 4-5% in tax havens, the tax Wang Yi needed to pay would be much, much less.
The 100 million down payment Wang Yi prepared was legally transferred from public to private accounts using this method half a month ago!
Now, he just needed to do it again, pay a little tax, and legally transfer out another 100 million.
A total of 200 million: 170 million for the villa, 10 million for taxes and renovation!
The remaining 20 million would be kept for investment in suitable good projects.
Qian Kun asked:
"Chairman Wang, will this house be financed with a mortgage?"
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"I'll pay in full directly. I'll pay 100 million first, and the remaining 70 million will be transferred to you within half a month!"
"Great, Boss Wang is generous!"
Qian Kun's face lit up with joy; a 170 million luxury home paid in full at once was rare, truly rare.
It can only be said that Meiyou really makes a lot of money!
Afterward, Wang Yi signed the contract and arranged to transfer 100 million.
The remaining money would be fully settled once Song Sining completed the process and legally transferred it to Wang Yi's name.
Buying a house is usually like this; after signing the purchase contract, the down payment doesn't need to be made on the same day.
As long as the down payment is made and the loan is processed within half a month.
For off-plan properties, some people even delay the down payment for several months...
"Boss Wang, congratulations on moving into the King Villa at Yihe Yuanzhu!"
Qian Kun took out some keys and handed them to Wang Yi with both hands:
"These are the keys to your home!"
Then he took out his business card:
"If you need anything in the future, just call me anytime!"
"Okay."
Wang Yi went to the villa, looked around, and sighed:
"It's a shell, with a deeded area of 2,500 square meters and a usable area of 4,000 square meters. Renovation alone will take a year! For now, I'll still live at the rich lady's place!"
Afterward, Wang Yi drove directly back to Xingyi Science Park.
At Xingyi Science Park, Jian Ziyan had also prepared a three-story detached suite for Wang Yi.
It had a reception room, a gym, and many bedrooms...
It had just been completed these past two days, and all equipment and furniture were brand new.
Wang Yi looked at it and was very satisfied.
What surprised Wang Yi was that Jian Ziyan had reserved a room for herself on the first floor.
Seeing Wang Yi staring at her room, Jian Ziyan's expression subtly changed:
"Boss, I just thought it would be convenient for me to work next to you, so you could call me if anything came up. If you don't want to be disturbed, I... I... I'll move out right away."
Wang Yi smiled:
"No need, you can stay here."
The first floor mainly consisted of a reception room, a gym, and a few guest rooms; there was nothing wrong with Jian Ziyan staying on the first floor.
Wang Yi's office and bedroom were both on the second floor.
In the future, when the company is busy, he can just live in the science park.
"By the way, Ziyan, how have you handled Professor Mo's onboarding?"
Wang Yi asked about the crucial matter.
Buying the house for 170 million, Professor Mo helped a lot, saving him an extra 10 million.
Without Professor Mo, even if Wang Yi leveraged his identity as Boss Wang of Meiyou, it would have cost at least 180 million!
Wang Yi naturally had to repay Professor Mo generously.
"Professor's onboarding will be next month, after the National Day holiday,"
Jian Ziyan explained.
As a university professor, one can work part-time in a company, or even be a lawyer.
After all, such experts truly disdain the meager salaries offered by universities.
If they weren't allowed to work part-time, many experts would likely leave academia.
A university salary of 150,000 per year versus a company salary of 1,000,000 per year, how to choose?
Is there even a question?
After all, professors' salaries in 2011 were not high.
Even at Beihang University, a professor only made 150,000.
In a second-tier city, it would be difficult to even earn 100,000.
However, such professors must report to the university before taking on a part-time job, and can only start once the university approves.
"Professor Mo submitted his materials today; by the time it's approved, it will definitely be after the National Day holiday."
Wang Yi nodded:
"Alright, this matter must be taken seriously."
"By the way, Boss, how should Professor Mo's salary be set?"
Jian Ziyan hesitated.
Wang Yi thought for a moment:
"What was Professor Mo's annual salary as a consultant before? Or rather, what is the usual annual salary for a legal expert like him?"
Jian Ziyan hesitated somewhat.
Wang Yi smiled:
"It's fine, just say what it is!"
"My teacher worked as a consultant at a large company two years ago, with an annual salary of 800,000..."
"Then how about we give 1.5 million?"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Huh?"
"Is that too little? Then two million!"
"No, no, that's too much!"
Jian Ziyan quickly explained, her small face flushed with urgency:
"Boss, my teacher's annual salary was 800,000 two years ago; giving him 1,000,000 is enough. 2,000,000 is too high! It's unreasonable!"
Wang Yi suddenly realized, it was 2011.
If it were 2021, Professor Mo's annual salary of 1.5-2 million would be considered top-tier in the legal profession.
After all, ten years later, top executives at large companies like Alibaba would only earn a few million annually.
In 2011, an annual salary of 1 million was already considered very high.
"How about this, 1.5 million or 2 million, either is fine. You discuss it with Professor Mo!"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
1 million is Professor Mo's normal price; the extra amount is to repay Professor Mo for the 10 million favor!
Wang Yi directly offering Professor Mo 10 million, he wouldn't dare accept.
But integrated into his salary, then it's fine.
"Okay, Boss."
Jian Ziyan's expression was somewhat complex.
In the world of big shots, it's always annual salaries in the millions...
Wang Yi saw through her thoughts:
"Don't worry, you'll get there too. Your annual salary is already around 300,000 now!"
Jian Ziyan was nominally legal counsel + secretary, but she was doing the work of a professional manager, and doing it quite well!
Not only did she poach many 985 elites, but she even brought in her own teacher.
Wang Yi naturally wouldn't treat her unfairly!
It was only 200,000 less than Song Sining's 500,000 annual salary!
"Ah? That much!"
Jian Ziyan was stunned:
"Isn't my monthly salary only 10,000?"
"Yes, 10,000 monthly salary, 10,000 performance bonus, plus an annual bonus, you do the math yourself!"
Jian Ziyan beamed with joy:
"Thank you, Boss, thank you!"
She felt that all her intense overtime during this period was worth it!
As long as the money is right, workers are never afraid of overtime!
"No, I have to poach the chief editor of Chunjiang Novels!"
Jian Ziyan thought to herself:
"If I can't poach them, I'd be unworthy of Boss Wang's 300,000 annual salary! I would feel ashamed!"
With this thought, she went straight out the door, heading to Chunjiang Novels again...
She vowed not to be a human if she didn't pluck Chunjiang Novels bald!
