Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 815 - 341: How is the Industry Benchmark Formed?_2

Chapter 815: Chapter 341: How is the Industry Benchmark Formed?_2

Just as she thought of this, Tang Xian’er tried another blatant attempt at fishing.

Tang Xian’er said, "Boss, after we go back to work, how about I find a place to live near you? I’m actually a pretty amazing cook, an all-around little secretary! You just need to raise my salary a bit more, okay~~~"

Her nickname should be "Uncomfortable Nova," but this kind of woman is all cunning and only teases, never taking the initiative to offer herself.

If you were to push her, inwardly she’d be thrilled, but she’d definitely push back with all her might.

"Boss~~~ don’t be like that! That’s not what I meant!"

Typical men really can’t resist that kind of thing, guaranteeing the freshest, most novel experiences.

But then she’d have a whole set of expectations waiting for you.

Giving this and that until you’re ensnared, with most men still grinning and bearing it.

These sorts of situations are really not uncommon in reality; some people see right through them, while others are utterly clueless, yet most similar marriages manage to remain stable.

Doesn’t that seem counter-intuitive?

Actually, wealthy and successful men are best matched with the likes of tea sisters.

Don’t believe the nonsense about equal social standing and power couples; when both are too strong, it just doesn’t end well.

After a man has made a name for himself, he either sticks with his humble and virtuous wife and develops his career, or he chooses a young and beautiful tea sister. Looking on the same level or higher is just asking for trouble.

Su Huai understood all this, and he also liked Tang Xian’er’s tea sister-like demeanor, but he really didn’t need it, just wanting to tease her without any serious intentions, ah, it was all just for fun.

So, he replied, "Approved, you can look for a rental yourself. I won’t come if the place isn’t nice, and I won’t reimburse the rent either."

Tang Xian’er, lying in bed, flipped over with a ’plop,’ grabbed a pillow, and hurled it out.

Damn boss, are you trying to kill me!

The decent places near the company would cost at least 7000 bucks; how could she ever afford to rent one?

She quickly typed trying to salvage some loss, "Boss, you haven’t mentioned the main point, how much will my salary increase?"

Su Huai sent back three question marks, "???"

Tang Xian’er thought, Dammit, the bastard boss is playing dumb again!

Clearing her throat, she sent a sugary voice message.

"I’m currently signed on a livestreamer contract, receiving just a small living allowance, and lately, I’ve been coming to work all on my own dime. How much exactly is my assistant salary set at, dear Mr. Su~~~"

Geez, pitiful at the start followed by sweet talking, she really knew how to play it.

Su Huai fought back a smile and replied, "I’ll discuss it with Fu Yu later and see what the standard is for other staff in the general office. I’m very satisfied with your service, so we could consider adding a couple thousand."

Tang Xian’er was even more dumbfounded.

Following the salary standard of the general office secretaries?

But the general office secretaries are desk clerks, with salaries around 7-8K!

She sent another message sweet-talking, but the damn boss didn’t reply.

So, Tang Xian’er realized today’s flirtation had once again failed, fuming as she tossed her phone away, wanting to stab a voodoo doll of Su Huai.

Being his assistant had her running ragged, without seeing a single benefit, what a rip-off!

She was so annoyed, and yet Su Huai had already forgotten about her, replying to various relatives, friends, and business partners.

At 11 o’clock sharp, he began the frenzy of sending out red packets to groups.

Student council group, 10,000, screens filled with messages of "Huai, I love you," and "Secretary-General, you’re so generous."

Class group, 20,000*5, screens filled with praises of "Godfather, you’re so handsome," and "Class President, mwah."

Management group of the company, a casual 20,000 to wish everyone Happy New Year.

He didn’t send any to the department groups, just checked how the supervisors were leading everyone in celebrating New Year’s.

For the core livestreamers’ group of the company, he only invited A-list streamers, executives, agents, and operational team supervisors, which also had over two hundred members now.

Before Su Huai entered the chat, everyone was already grabbing red packets, and the executives have been active in the group all night.

Su Huai @everyone: "50 packets of 20,000 each, Happy New Year!"

Silenced the group, 20,000*50, and initiated the celebration.

It was the first time Su Huai realized that giving out red packets could be such exhausting work—even though transactions like these 20,000-buck trivial expenses only required fingerprint authorization, it still wore him out.

After sending them and lifting the ban, he typed, "So tired!"

The group was immediately flooded with emojis of people ’laugh-crying’.

Zhang Dayi immediately followed suit, @everyone, then silenced the group and sent out another 50 packets of 20,000.

Pei Shuyu was in between, sending out 5 packets of 20,000 each, then suddenly went quiet.

Su Huai soon received her complaints, "Why can I only send out 100,000 a day? How come you all can send so much?"

"Have you not made any large transactions using WeChat? Save more money and the assistant will naturally contact you..."

Yuji: "I usually have hundreds of thousands saved up, isn’t that enough?"

Su Huai sent her a screenshot to take a look at his Wallet Balance: just spent a million, with over 700 remaining.

The docile daughter immediately turned emo and cried, "All my money is in Alipay, I always feel it’s safer for large payments, what do I do? I can’t let Sister Yi gloat today."

"Then let her gloat, it’s too late to increase your limit now."

"No!" freewebnσvel.cѳm

The docile daughter suddenly got stubborn: "I’ll transfer money now, then go find customer service!"

Su Huai naturally didn’t stop her: "Alright, the increased limit will come in handy later anyway."

Looking back at the group, it was chaos, everyone following suit and sending their own.

Red Bull was the most smug, sent 40 full packages.

The underlying message was a stealthy declaration that he was the top dog at the company—currently he was for sure, but once the main force withdrew from Gou Star, the one left behind wouldn’t have it so easy.

The remaining A-listers, some had made it big, made money, sent out 100,000 to share the joy.

Some hadn’t made it, still struggling, sent 20,000 to join the frenzy.

Regarding the A-listers who just signed up for the national tour, they hadn’t made a penny, hence mostly 20,000—what they managed to grab today would suffice.

Too lazy to compete for red packets, Su Huai @everyone: "Those who are live streaming right now, report your location, there are overtime gifts!"

The group immediately broke into a wail, but there were some kings of hustle who were overjoyed, quickly sharing their platform and personal ID.

Su Huai went online with his main account, leading a swarm of players, inspecting until 12 o’clock sharp.

The second hand had just passed the mark when his phone started beeping like it was about to explode, receiving hundreds of New Year’s greetings, among which were well-thought-out little essays.

Happy? Not quite.

But he was content and felt a sense of accomplishment.

Having been reborn for half a year, he had indeed done many things and laid down a vast empire.

He made his parents stand tall and brought happiness to many people.

Alright, a very successful half year, Su Huai, you’ve done well.

Giving himself a thumbs up, Su Huai replied to everyone in the group, then crashed into bed.

Waking up, he started the new year with vigour.

The first day, family dinner with relatives, drank a lot.

The second day, continued family dinners with relatives, again drank a lot.

The third day, Chen Nuanhan wanted to hang out, didn’t go, stayed home reviewing documents, worked remotely.

The fourth day, high school classmates gathering, was called to join in, didn’t go, took a car towards Changchun.

Before the New Year due to time constraints, branches in Changchun and Shenyang hadn’t opened, now for the second batch of company sites, cities like Dalian, Qingdao, Yantai, Jinan, and Shijiazhuang were all to be staked.

Logically speaking, even in the future when live-streaming sales were so popular, no MCN institution would operate like this.

Assets too heavy.

Top MCNs like Wuyou Media had only two or three branches, occupying the main spots, the rest of the streamers were recruited online.

The investment and operational costs of each Xingyu branch, to outsiders, were unimaginable.

But he insisted on doing it this way, because only when a branch established roots locally, could it form a deep connection with the local government, business market, specific resources, and a host of potential streamers and bloggers.

This heavy asset model was precisely for the future’s semi-monopolistic grand plan.

Once the designated 50 nodes were all set up, with local companies occupying 50% of the local share and Xingyu the other 50%, Xingyu’s national total would not be 50%, but 60%, 70%, perhaps even more.

Semi-monopoly does not merge to extract more money from the demand side, this was not Su Huai’s intention.

Semi-monopoly signified Xingyu’s ability to mark up and penetrate upstream and downstream, its impact on external society, the high-speed circulation of internal platform traffic, and also meant the freedom of all Xingyu streamers to penetrate deeper markets.

In this model, individual apprenticeships like Xinba’s couldn’t grow; no matter how they struggled, they couldn’t reach the top dog position on the platform.

Plus, Xingyu’s influencers wouldn’t need to start building a supply chain from scratch, nor worry about logistics and warehousing.

Xingyu’s curation would become a brand as trustworthy as Hui Tonghang in the future.

Choosing to employ this heavy asset model at this point in time was not just to make a mark locally, but in everyone’s hearts.

How is an industry benchmark created?

That’s exactly it, starting with things that everyone else is reluctant to do.
