368 Taking The Initiative To Ask For Shares, Deciding To Advance And Retreat Together With The Company!
Yang Tianzhen covered his face and squatted on the ground. He wanted to cry, but he couldn’t. He felt so tired, but he also felt that he hadn’t done enough.
He finally knew how Luo Feng had quickly obtained so many contracts. It turned out that as long as he promised enough compensation, the partners would have more guarantees and would be more refreshed.
Luo Feng and Ai Tingya were too young and rash.
Yang Tianzhen was furious. Why did he insist on sleeping instead of discussing the contract with them?
He scratched his head in frustration and silently flew into a rage.
“Old Yang, are you alright?!” Luo Feng grabbed Yang Tianzhen’s hand to vent his anger and quickly pulled her up and pressed her onto the sofa. “You’re making a mountain out of a mole hole. There’s really no need.”
Yang Tianzhen’s tears and snot flowed down his face. He wiped his face in confusion. “Boss, you don’t understand. With the current live broadcast mode, the compet.i.tion on Sunday will be very bleak. It won’t work anymore.”
A boring live broadcast would leave a bad first impression on the audience, especially on pa.s.sersby.
When the compet.i.tion was broadcasted, the pa.s.sers-by would talk about “Idol Cultivation” again. The first reaction of others would be that the trainee was unimportant and useless. Unless the content of the compet.i.tion was extremely exciting, it would be very difficult to turn the tables.
Yang Tianzhen did not want to pin his hopes on the last day.
“You must be too tired. Don’t think too much.” Luo Feng kept comforting Yang Tianzhen and even wanted to laugh.
He stood in front of Yang Tianzhen. The light shone from behind, making Luo Feng look very tall, as if he was holding up the ceiling of the studio.
Luo Feng said earnestly, “Do you believe me?”
“… I do,” Yang Tianzhen replied.
He had always believed in Luo Feng. The previous facts also proved that Luo Feng was indeed right. However, even mature horses make mistakes, let alone Luo Feng, who was a young man.
Yang Tianzhen’s experience told him that the problem this time was very serious.
He took a deep breath and his expression became very serious. “Boss, when are you going to give me the shares that we agreed on?”
Yang Tianzhen was one of the founders of the Innovative Artist Company. As Luo Feng had funded the early funds alone, Yang Tianzhen felt guilty and declined to take the shares.
Now that he had taken the initiative to mention it, Luo Feng was overjoyed. “Now would be good. I’ll transfer it immediately.”
He really liked employees who took the initiative to ask for their own treatment.
Previously, whether it was Ai Tingya or Xie Yan, it was Luo Feng who had forcefully given them shares. These shares would not earn much money with him. If he handed them to his employees, he would be able to get a real return.
“Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll do the handover now.” Luo Feng was overjoyed. It was rare to meet such an understanding employee.
“No, Boss, listen to me first,” Yang Tianzhen said without moving. “I want the shares to show my determination to live and die with the company.”
Hm? So tragic?
Luo Feng looked at Yang Tianzhen and was both touched and amused.
Even though he said that he trusted his boss, he was already prepared for it to fail and take on its debts.
“Why are you so unconfident in our show?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s only been a few hours. The data doesn’t mean anything.”
Yang Tianzhen lowered his head and did not speak.
He had already made it very clear but Luo Feng would not listen, and he did not want to repeat it.
However, he was already prepared to sink together.
“Just give me the shares first,” Yang Tianzhen said stubbornly.
“I’ll give you 4%… 30% first,” Luo Feng said helplessly. “But let me make it clear first. You’re not allowed to return it to me after taking it.”
Yang Tianzhen took a deep breath and seemed to have made a promise. “Of course.”
This was the most unhappy Luo Feng had ever been when he split the shares. He even felt a sense of guilt. Why did he feel like he was getting hurt? The show might not fail.
That afternoon, Luo Feng completed the transfer of shares.
The weight on Yang Tianzhen’s heart became heavier. He did not sit back and wait for death. Instead, he actively sought out people from all over the world to help promote the show and increase its popularity.
He looked through his address book one by one and called and sent messages.
However, the answer he received was not much different.
“Old Yang, I can help you promote it, but I’ve also watched your live broadcast. It’s too trivial. It’s hard for the audience to like it.”
“It’s very simple to post a link, I won’t charge you. I think you really have no choice since you can launch this broadcast mode. I’ll treat it as a small favor for you.”
“I’ve already posted a recommendation, but the audience’s feedback is… not good. Do you want to adjust it as soon as possible?”
“…”
The people that Yang Tianzhen had asked for help were all people like him who had some EXP.
Everyone’s evaluation of the live stream contestant’s preparation for the compet.i.tion was very uniform—this magical broadcast mode was destined to fail!
The more Yang Tianzhen searched, the more uncertain he felt.
If not for the fact that Luo Feng had once done him a favor, he might really have wanted to pack his luggage and run away.
“It’s alright. The boss and the lady boss have a big business. It’s just a mistake. At most, we’ll have to compensate more.” Yang Tianzhen comforted himself as he drove on. “I’ll recover some losses now and compensate less. I’ll strive to start the next project as soon as possible to earn big money!”
On the way to visit his old friend, he muttered non-stop, as if he was praying or building up a stronger heart.
This time, Yang Tianzhen went to meet an old friend of his from many years ago. He was also his senior and had once been of great help to him as a manager.
He cherished this friendship. He did not think of asking this senior for help previously, when he was isolated by the Morris Corporation and had no way out.
But this time, it was different.
Yang Tianzhen was at his wit’s end and had no choice but to look for this person. He hoped that he could mediate and let the other three online platforms take down the live broadcast. At the very worst, he hoped that he could reduce the compensation.
The car stopped at the entrance of a courtyard. When he looked up, he could see the words “Green Pine Building” written on the plaque.
This was a private courtyard. It got its name because the owner liked pine trees. It was said that just the three words at the door were written by a calligraphy master invited by the owner of the garden for two million yuan.
Even a layman could feel the vigorous strokes of these three words, just like a pine tree standing tall.
“Xiao Yang, I knew you would be here soon.” A middle-aged woman in a cheongsam walked out from behind the door and smiled when she saw Yang Tianzhen.
Every wrinkle on her face was folded together with her smile. There was not a single one left hanging. Other than that, the woman’s face was very pale and she looked very young. She seemed to be only a few years older than Yang Tianzhen.
“Teacher Ji, long time no see.” Yang Tianzhen bowed slightly. “You’re getting younger and younger.”
He touched his face. His face was oily, and his b.u.mpy acne made his skin even worse because he had stayed up late. Yang Tianzhen felt mentally exhausted when he thought about how he was not in a better state than Teacher Ji Xiang, who was more than 20 years older than him.
He walked forward and said, “I came today because I have something to ask of you, Teacher Ji.”
