Wen Ruan and Shen Yuyan
June 27, 2023, Tuesday, cloudy, 26~37℃.
Yancheng, Huayun Center B block, Guangying Media headquarters.
There was a tense and depressing atmosphere in the office area.
The employees sat at their respective workstations, their expressions solemn, and their eyes revealed uneasiness and anxiety.
In the WeChat group, the chat keeps refreshing the screen.
The company has been in development for 15 years and is considered the leader in the Yancheng GG agent sales industry.
However, the main customer groups are basically concentrated locally.
Although there are branches and agencies in several first-tier cities, even the largest Imperial Capital branch has only a dozen people and has not formed a scale at all.
For them, the biggest development goal now is to go abroad.
The emergence of Meigou Technology is undoubtedly a historic breakthrough.
A top domestic Internet Plus company was actually taken over by them!
Not to mention annual sales of at least 50 million yuan.
Once this customer case is completed, the reputation and credibility of Guangying Media will be greatly improved.
It is a milestone in the company's development.
Now that the cooperation has come to an end, it has dealt a huge blow to the company's leadership and shareholders.
The employees also noticed a feeling that a storm was coming and the building was full of rain.
"Tap tap tap -" A rush of footsteps came from the back office.
Immediately afterwards, sales manager Liang Xiaoli trotted towards the large conference room.
Still holding the phone in his hand, he said in an urgent and panic voice, "President Wang, our two companies have cooperated for 6 years and it has always been smooth sailing. We have also witnessed the rise of Chengyuan Real Estate. Please give us another chance!"
"The rebates and quotations we give are definitely the best prices in the industry. You should know this."
"Wait a moment! I'll let our Director Zhang chat with you personally!"
Many employees were startled when they heard Manager Liang talking.
Chengyuan Real Estate is Yan Province's leading local real estate company. Its properties are positioned at mid-to-high-end and it is committed to building a brand image. Its annual GG and operating expenses are more than 10 million yuan.
Stable, long-lasting, and quick to pay back.
Is one of the most important customers of Guangying Media.
For such a big customer to suddenly terminate cooperation with them, the impact can be said to be huge.
Even New Media Operations Department and Channel Business Department are going to lay off employees.
Timid discussions echoed in the office area.
"What's going on with the company? I heard this morning that three operating media agencies have canceled their cooperation with us."
"Not only that, three leading media companies sent notice letters to our company yesterday, asking us to conduct performance appraisals."
"I have seen the notice. If GG's sales, customer expansion, etc. cannot meet the agency conditions, the media will terminate the contract with us according to the terms of the contract."
"Did Chengyuan Real Estate terminate the contract with us for this reason? If so, will other big customers do the same?"
Guangying Media As an online GG Marketing and media agency company, the core resource is "media", that is, the media.
For example, the GG resources of large companies such as Toutiao, Baidu, and Tencent.
They act as intermediaries to help companies launch and operate GG on it.
If these companies cancel their agency authorization, their customers will definitely not accept it.
For a time, the entire Guangying Media was shrouded in a layer of haze.
In the large conference room.
The company's senior management all frowned and looked worried.
Chairman and CEO Zhang Shun leaned forward with an expressionless face, put his elbows on the table, and opened his mouth that was a little white.
He said in a serious tone, "Since Meigou Technology suddenly terminated the contract yesterday, we have received notices of cancellation of cooperation from 4 major customers and 7 media outlets. What do you think?"
In an instant, noisy discussions started.
These major customers and their contracts are all signed according to the execution period, which is basically once a month.
The contract only stipulates the operation method, media and rebate ratio.
The specific cooperation model is account recharge and consumption.
In this way, if one media is not working well, you can switch media immediately.
Correspondingly, the cost for the other party to cancel cooperation is also very low.
They have no countermeasures at all and are very passive.
On the contrary, the media side still No rush, after all, the agency contracts signed are based on years.
If they want to cancel Guangying Media's agency authority, they also need to come up with a reasonable and legal excuse, otherwise they will have to compensate according to the contract.
"Dingling bell——" The rapid Mobile Phone ringtone rang.
Seeing the caller's information, Zhang Shun subconsciously used his fingers to squeeze an A4 paper into a ball.
Take a deep breath and answer the phone.
Zhang Shun said with a smile on his face, "Hey, Director Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I was thinking of finding a chance to ask you for tea."
Immediately afterwards, the smile on his face froze and he said in a solemn tone, "Brocade Business is our Guangying Media's most important partner. Please believe that we will definitely get through this crisis."
"Even if we don't have the agency rights for the media you need, we can still operate it through other media companies. You should know about my connections and reputation. The price will remain the same as now."
"Okay! I get it."
"Director Xu, we have always had a good personal relationship. I want to hear you tell the truth. Why do you want to cancel cooperation with us?"
"Inconvenient? I understand, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shun was already sweating.
The scariest thing is the unknown.
Until now, they haven't heard anything about each other.
"Director Zhang, I think Meigou Technology's betrayal yesterday must be the other party's method." Brand Department Director Li Xuechao said, "The other party may know that Wen Ruan is no longer in the project team, and they just use her as an excuse."
After what happened to Meigou Technology yesterday, Liu Chuanzheng was in an extremely embarrassing and embarrassing situation.
Lost face in the company.
Not to mention being promoted to vice president, there is no question whether he can continue to be General Manager in the branch.
Li Xuechao is responsible for the company's brand business. He often goes to Imperial Capital on business trips and has a good personal relationship with Liu Chuanzheng.
That's why I spoke up at this time to help clear my name.
Zhang Shun knocked on the table and his eyes changed.
Thinking about arrangements for Liu Chuanzheng.
"Dong dong dong——" There was a knock on the door of the conference room.
The president's assistant walked in quickly, "Director Zhang, Jingwu Capital's Director Bai is here! It has been arranged in the reception room!"
In an instant, there was an endless stream of sounds of seats moving and getting up.
Everyone stood up.
Immediately afterwards, the five directors headed by Zhang Shun walked quickly to the reception room.
"Director Bai! Good afternoon!" "Lawyer Zhao." "Manager Wang."
After some pleasantries, everyone sat down on the sofa.
Zhang Shun crossed his arms and said nervously, "Director Bai, your company must have known about the changes in our customers and media. Since we are currently in a critical period of negotiation, could you please Jingwu Capital help us contact the media to mediate."
Jingwu Capital is very optimistic about Guangying Media and has decided to invest in the company through equity acquisition and capital increase.
The negotiations have now entered a critical stage, and Zhang Shun can feel that Jingwu Capital is really sincere.
That's why I came up with this idea.
With the opponent's network and power, they can easily solve the troubles they encounter.
This is why he has remained calm so far.
After hearing his words, Bai Sheng said calmly and seriously, "Director Zhang, we came here this time for two main things. The first thing is that we decided to suspend the equity acquisition and investment in Guangying Media."
"This!" Zhang Shun's face changed drastically, and his brows beat violently, "Director Bai, it has been 15 years since our company was founded. We have experienced many difficulties, but we have persevered without exception. The current problem is not big. Please give me a week and don't let these things affect our cooperation."
Isn't running a company just to make money?
For him, being spotted by a top investment company like Jingwu Capital is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Not only can you achieve high cash out, but you can also get the support of Jingwu Capital's ecosystem.
Bai Sheng shook his head and said, "This matter has been determined. Of course, we are just suspending it. Investment Committee needs to reconsider. The second thing is that we hope Guangying Media will seriously review Imperial Capital branch General Manager Liu Chuanzheng's dereliction of duty and illegal behavior at work."
Immediately afterwards, Lawyer Zhao beside him spread out a document.
"We, Quan Jing Law Firm, were entrusted by Jingwu Capital to conduct a legal risk review of your company and found many problems.
In the past three years, Liu Chuanzheng has repeatedly received large transfers from Huiguang Media in the name of consulting services.
The legal person of Huiguang Media is his cousin, and his business is also GG sales. There is an agency contract with Guangying Media.
Based on a report from a previously resigned colleague, we contacted Liu Chuanzheng's ex-wife and confirmed that the company had interests in transfer with him, involving Guangying Media's customer resources.
In addition, Liu Chuanzheng also sold branch assets at low prices many times, including photography equipment, office equipment, etc. "
Bai Sheng said with a serious expression, "This has already involved the crime of job embezzlement, and according to your internal plan, Liu Chuanzheng will serve as the vice president of the head office next month. This is an extremely significant risk and hidden danger. It is impossible for us Jingwu Capital to invest in such a company."
Zhang Shun looked at the documents in front of him, his face gloomy and scary.
As the boss who has been in charge of the company for many years, he naturally knows some of the internal problems of Guangying Media.
Especially the head of the branch.
For example: reimbursement of fictitious business expenses and rebates.
Normally, this is not a big deal.
As long as Liu Chuanzheng can bring customers and profits to the company, then he can turn a blind eye.
But now that the company was in turmoil, he pointed at Jingwu Capital to help, but someone else found out about such a big thing.
In addition, due to conflicts with Wen Ruan, Meigou Technology Business Flow was produced.
Zhang Shun, who was already in a depressed mood, instantly felt like a volcano erupting.
Liu Chuanzheng! You go step on the sewing machine for me!
"Director Bai, don't worry, I have always had zero tolerance for this kind of corporate bug. I will make him pay the legal price, and will strictly review it from top to bottom to ensure that similar problems will not happen again. I hope Jingwu Capital can see our efforts and sincerity!"
Bai Sheng glanced at them thoughtfully and nodded calmly.
Acquisitions will certainly continue, but valuations and conditions are naturally different.
The current Guangying Media is only in the first half of the storm. There will be more turbulent waves in the future. They cannot resist at all and can only wait for the harvest.
11pm.
Fenda International Hotel, supreme Fenda Suite.
The typing sound of "ta-da-da" kept ringing.
June 27, 2023.
Today is a very short day.
We got up very early in the morning, as if we were worried that going to bed would delay seeing each other.
We went for a morning jog on the streets of Imperial Capital and exercised in the hotel gym for 40 minutes.
Then I casually walked into an alleyway, found a clean shop, and ate my favorite tofu pudding, Tang Huo Shao and Xiao Long Bao.
In the morning, he took me on a citywalk on Imperial Capital street. We walked from [Wudaoying] to [Jianchang], then from [Guozijian] to [Fangjia], and finally went around to [Bei Luogu Lane].
There are many interesting little shops on the road.
A coffee shop hidden in an alley, full of literary and artistic handicrafts, accessories, nostalgic vintage clothes, romantic bookstores...
He was very familiar with this place and felt nostalgic about it.
I knew he must have been here with other girls, but I was still happy.
At noon, we went to the temple to drink tea, eat trb hutong, and chat about the surrounding decorations.
In the afternoon, because the weather was too hot, we hid in the cinema and watched a movie together.
What he picked was a less popular suspense movie. Since it was a working day, we were the only ones in the entire theater.
We can discuss the plot without lowering our voices, and we can also be intimate.
It turned out that because the movie was so ugly, we mostly just made out.
In the evening, I took him to the snack street where I used to go.
We walked around and ate, and after finishing our snacks we found a bar.
We ordered a few bottles of beer and some appetizers, Jingjing listened to music and talked about our common topics (music, fitness, cars, digital).
I have always wanted a boyfriend who can drink and chat with me.
On the way back, he held my hand and said that he would go rowing at Beihai, ride a bike at Chang'an Street, and watch the sunset at Jingshan...
Save this diary and close the computer.
Wen Ruan stood up and stretched.
The pajamas on her body showed an exaggerated arc.
Outside the window, the city's night was quiet and gorgeous, making her eyes slightly distracted.
Facing this city where I have lived for many years again, all the depression and pain I once felt disappeared, leaving only nostalgia and appreciation.
The feeling of falling in love is so beautiful, and it instantly heals the scars that have accumulated in my heart for many years.
She walked quietly into the bedroom.
Tang Song has fallen asleep, and his body rises and falls rhythmically with his breathing.
Wen Ruan got into the quilt and turned sideways.
In the warm color Mood Lighting, looking at him quietly, my heart is full of sweetness and security.
I really hope this day will never end!
Wednesday, June 28, 2023, cloudy to thundery showers, 22~30℃.
Fenda International Hotel 12th floor, deluxe double room.
"Dingling bell——"
Mobile Phone The ringtone keeps ringing.
Shen Yuyan sat up from the bed suddenly and rubbed his sore forehead.
From Sunday to now, she has been in a state of insomnia and dreaminess almost every day, and her energy and energy are very low.
He picked up Mobile Phone, looked at it, answered the phone, and said feebly, "Hey, what's wrong Qing Qing?"
"Yan Yan Something's wrong with you. You're still up so late? Did you go out and fool around last night?"
"Can you talk nicely?"
"Hehe, okay, I just want to tell you that the information you asked me to organize has been sent to you. Remember to check it." Xu Qing paused and said in a playful voice, "By the way, before you go home this afternoon, remember to buy me some Imperial Capital delicious food and bring it back!"
"I've already bought it. Don't worry. Okay, I'll hang up now. Bye."
"Yeah, I love you, bye~"
Hang up the phone.
Shen Yuyan opens WeChat.
[Xu Qing: Tang Song company introduction. pdf]
"Alas~" A sigh sounded in the room.
During that time, she happened to be running around looking for financing, and she was exhausted physically and mentally every day.
Later, she heard Qing Qing say that this college classmate agreed to invest. Although she believed it, she did not really treat him as an investor Dad.
She is well aware of the situation of Youjie Home Services, which is not a popular field and does not even have a story to tell.
Tang Song agreed to invest without knowing anything, so he must have taken a fancy to her or Xu Qing.
Just like Hou Shaoyuan.
At that time, she was more thinking about what changes the arrival of Tang Song would bring to the ownership structure of Youjie Home Services.
Now that I think about it, I just feel that I am particularly funny.
24 million in funds and a professional investment team.
These are obviously enough to prove that the other party and little Second-Generation Rich like Hou Shaoyuan are not the same kind of people at all.
How stupid I am, really!
I should have investigated him earlier, I should have known him better, and I should have paid more attention to his investment commitment!
Sit down at your desk and turn on your computer.
Click on the PDF file sent by Xu Qing.
When Shen Yuyan saw the first line of text, his heart suddenly jumped.
"Songmei Apparel Trading Co., Ltd...."
She repeated it several times, the expression on her face becoming more and more painful.
My breathing was rapid and my head was buzzing.
"Gao Mengting! It's her company!"
The scene at the Entrepreneurship Incubator immediately came to mind.
Bentley Continental, Songmei Apparel Trading Co., Ltd., deputy General Manager.
Shen Yuyan Clenched his teeth hard and breathed rapidly.
It turns out that she caught the express train Tang Song!
9am.
Shen Yuyan Close the laptop.
He washed up absentmindedly, put on light makeup, put on casual clothes and walked towards the cafeteria downstairs.
Based on the information given by Xu Qing and the information she just found.
The development of Songmei Clothing can be said to be very smooth. It has a high-end independent office space in Yunxi Building, and it is still recruiting employees vigorously.
The live broadcast of goods delivery is in full swing, and the sales volume of Douyin store is gratifying.
Gao Mengting, Guo Liyuan.
Songmei Clothing, Ordinary People.
Live e-commerce, online short drama.
The two girls who were once shrouded in her light are now ahead of her.
They are in the hottest field, and with the support of capital like Tang Song, their future prospects are limitless.
It can be predicted that their future will push her further and further away!
Regret accompanied by unwillingness gnawed at her heart.
Originally, she had an opportunity to turn her life around and transcend social classes, but she just missed it!
Tang Song! Tang Song!
Do you think I still have a chance?
Walked out of the elevator door and turned along the corridor.
Shen Yuyan swept across the hall inadvertently and stopped instantly.
Rest Area Sitting on the sofa is a handsome and upright boy with an outstanding temperament.
It is the type that can be seen at a glance among the crowd.
The key is, that boy is so familiar that he can be said to be the person she thinks about day and night.
Tang Song!
Why is he here!
Shen Yuyan quickly returned to the Elevator Hall and straightened his hair in front of the shiny metal mirror.
He breathed "ha" again to confirm that there was no strange smell in his mouth.
Look at yourself in the mirror.
Although I really wanted to go back upstairs and put on my makeup again, I was worried about missing this rare opportunity.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Yuyan adjusted his mentality, raised his head and chest, and walked towards Rest Area.
"Da da da" rhythmic footsteps approached, immediately attracting Tang Song's attention.
Eye contact.
A fresh and bright smile appeared on Shen Yuyan's face, "Tang Song, I really didn't expect to meet you here. It seems that we are really destined, right?"
Looking at School Beauty Shen who suddenly appeared, Tang Song nodded in astonishment, "Good morning, Yuyan, do you live here too? Are you on a business trip to Imperial Capital?"
Then I thought again, Xu Qing did say that Shen Yuyan was coming to Imperial Capital to sign Investment Agreement.
I just didn't expect that I would live in Fengda International.
It seems like they are indeed quite destined.
"Well." Shen Yuyan flipped up her hair to reveal her delicate face, "I live on the 12th floor. By the way, you have had breakfast..."
She hasn't finished speaking yet.
A magnetic sister's voice sounded from behind, "Have you met anyone you know?"
Shen Yuyan was stunned for a moment and turned around in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, a woman in a white dress approached.
Mature and sexy figure, elegant and calm temperament.
She walks with a lot of charm and is a very charming woman.
Eyes facing each other.
Shen Yuyan's eyes flickered, and Wind Rises clouds surged in his mind.
who is she?
Looking at the pure and sweet face of the school beauty, I looked at Tang Song again.
Wen Ruan raised his eyebrows slightly, gently pulled his arm, and said in a gentle voice, "Song, I've bought the things, it's time for us to go out."
