Under the influence of the free and open corporate culture advocated by Mei Fang, there were not many scenes of toasting at the dinner table of Station C. A middle-level manager wanted to toast Mei Lijun, who had the highest status among the people present, but was stopped by Mei Fang.
"My dad doesn't drink much now, so don't force him."
"Oh, I'm tired after a day, so drinking a little won't hurt... This duck intestine tastes best when eaten with wine..."
It was normal for Mei Lijun, as a father, not to listen to his son Mei Fang, but he retracted his hand that was reaching for the wine after seeing Lin Youxi holding the bottle.
The same cannot be said for my daughter-in-law.
Lin Youxi said seriously, "Uncle Mei, when you came, my mother told me that your liver is not in good condition and you can't drink alcohol. You have to obey the arrangement."
How come... Youxi, you've already started to call me mom, and you're calling me uncle...
Mei Lijun was eating his food by himself. Seeing that his father had calmed down for a while, Mei Fang, who was standing nearby, discussed the group's future strategic planning with his uncle Chen Rui.
At the management meeting last month, everyone unanimously approved the group reorganization plan - Linxi Technology, also known as Station C, will split the game distribution department and merge it with Ximilu Games. Ximilu Games will set its headquarters in Pengcheng.
Currently, all employees of Ximilu Games including Uncle Chen Rui have come to Pengcheng to work. Mei Fang spent a lot of money to acquire several pieces of land in the High-tech Zone of the Science and Technology Park through his uncle and Penguin's connections. The largest piece of land is intended to be used to build his C Station building, and the rest are reserved as real estate assets to be converted into cash later.
As the number of members of Station C is large, they are currently staying in Jiangcheng and will consider moving here after the Station C building is completed.
Although Uncle Chen Rui came to Pengcheng with me, he is not the person in charge of the game field. Mei Fang will take over this area in the future.
Now the arduous task that Mei Fang has assigned to his uncle is to create the IP incubation industry of the two-dimensional culture ACN, which is the fourth company in addition to Linxi Technology, Ximilu Games and Yuanxia Music.
Of course, the entertainment industry cannot grow big all at once. Mei Fang hopes that Uncle can start with the domestic light novel sector. Uncle is here today to report on the research.
"I have visited several large domestic light novel websites. They are only interested in investment and have no particular interest in mergers and acquisitions. These light novel websites all have one thing in common: their bosses are very young, not much older than us, so they are not short of money. This is especially true for 'Happy Book Guest' in Suzhou and Hangzhou."
"Currently, the shop with the highest traffic in Guoqing is 'Happy Book Guest'. I was confident about our offer, but their boss doesn't seem to care about the money and is just doing it for love."
"I've heard that the boss of Happy Books is a wealthy man, but I didn't expect him to be so wealthy..."
Mei Fang thought about it and said, "In this case, we can only spend money to poach talents. You lead a team to build the DEMO and APP of the novel website. I will give you enough budget to poach editors and new people. It should be very expensive to promote to users, but C Station can make up for some of the traffic problems."
Uncle nodded. "But even if we have our own promotion, the audiences are differentiated after all. Our publicity and promotion still needs to be launched across all channels to achieve sufficient results."
Xia Yuan was confused by what she heard, but she still understood this part.
"That means... it's going to cost a lot of money for advertising, right?"
The operations manager beside my uncle nodded and said, "According to our recent market research, we conservatively estimate that we will need to invest more than 30 million in promotion costs to achieve a better traffic-generating effect."
"30 million?"
Mei Fang frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't have such a large cash flow at the moment. "What are the main expenditures for this expense? See if there is any way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."
"It's mainly the promotion fees for platform exposure and ad design and production. Currently, the price of 4A video creative ads ranges from 2 to 8 million. Although we have our own video creative team at Station C, there is still a big gap compared to the professionals. If the ads we put out are not good enough, it will waste exposure resources."
Mei Fang thought about it, and then said, "The promotion budget should be controlled within 5 million first."
"Five million? Boss, isn't that a bit too little... For the advertising design alone, we have—"
"We can make video ads ourselves. As long as the creativity is good enough, it can create a viral effect and save a lot of promotion costs."
"But that requires ensuring that the promotional ads are of high enough quality, otherwise all that money will be wasted..."
"Don't worry too much about this. Just do your job well and contact the upstream platform providers. I will lead the team to promote it myself when the time comes."
The operations manager was a little overwhelmed. After hearing what Mei Fang said, he could only look at Chen Rui to hear what he had to say. However, Uncle Chen Rui's attitude was very clear:
"I think what the webmaster said is very good. Our promotional ads don't have to be very professional or fancy. Being down-to-earth and simple can better show the youthful feeling."
"Moreover, the webmaster Miss and Yuanbao are already big names in the youth ACG culture circle. If they do the promotion, the effect and benefits should be very obvious. We have all been here before at C Station, so the development path must be correct."
"Well, if that's the case, then let's just follow the webmaster's instructions. I'll contact the platform to prepare for exposure."
"Thank you for your help."
That night, Mei Lijun fell asleep in his room after taking a shower because he was tired from driving. Mei Fang went to Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan's room to be intimate with them, and of course, she also wanted to talk about some things at the dinner table.
Youxi, who was washed clean, was only wearing a thin silk lace pajamas. She sat in Mei Fang's arms to help him trim his nails. Mei Fang's hands were held in Lin Youxi's arms, and she could pinch her belly from time to time.
While he was enjoying the favor of his lovely wife and smelling the gentle fragrance of her hair, Lin Youxi trimmed Mei Fang's nails again and whispered:
"I feel like after our company expanded, many people may regard uncle as the boss..."
Mei Fang stroked Lin Youxi's hair while responding to her words: "We didn't go to the company much during our senior year, so it's normal to be treated as mascots. But I think my uncle is still very loyal to me, and he just wants to do a good job. However, it would be more appropriate for us to get more involved in company affairs in the future, especially now that the Pengcheng team has just been brought here and people's hearts are not stable yet."
Lin Youxi nodded, "I plan to lead the development of the platform TABTAB you mentioned before. The current member in charge of this team is Robin, who was also a core member of the team that established Station C. It will be more convenient to hand over the work..."
"Do you think you can finish it in a month? If we can't finish it before the start of school, your intervention might affect the original progress of the development."
After hearing this, Lin Youxi looked back at Mei Fang angrily and bit his cheek lightly.
"Who do you think your wife is? She thinks it will take me a month to develop such a simple project? As long as you write the code according to my compilation specifications, it can be done within half a month. The game module of Station C already has mature code that can be used. How difficult is this?"
"Okay, okay... I shouldn't have doubted you. I was wrong."
"What's the use of just knowing you're wrong? You can move on your own tonight. I won't serve you anymore."
"Ah, I've been riding in the car all day, why am I still--uh--"
Lin Youxi started to interrupt Mei Fang while he was speaking.
"You say no, but your body is not obedient? Hmm..."
Xia Yuan had just come out of the bathroom and saw Mei Fang and Lin Youxi being intimate. She came over without even wiping her hair and said, "What are you talking about? Let me hear what you are talking about."
Lin Youxi stood up from Mei Fang's shoulder, and smiled at Xia Yuan, "I'm talking about writing code. Do you want to listen?"
"Ahh... You can help Ah Fang again... I just can't..."
Xia Yuan said as she hugged Mei Fang from behind and said to him coquettishly:
"Ah Fang, we came to Pengcheng so early, besides writing songs and singing, let me find something to do..."
"Everyone has something to do."
Mei Fang patted Xia Yuan's hand, then smiled at her and said:
"Let's shoot some creative ads that will go viral and make our entrepreneurial journey a household legend."
"Creative advertising? Is that what you were talking about during the day..."
Mei Fang nodded, with a hint of determination in his tone, "They can look down on our youth, but we will eventually prove who this era belongs to."
"Afang is so chuunibyou, haha..."
Xia Yuan smiled and whispered in Mei Fang's ear, then said softly: "But, he is really handsome..."
Lin Youxi listened and turned back to touch Mei Fang's cheek:
"Well... I hope our Ah Fang's performance tonight can be as handsome as he just said."
"Um... I'm a little tired today, I'd better go to bed early-"
"That's not okay, huh?"
“That’s right!”
