I'm A Baller - Chapter 284
Chapter 284: Interviewer
The scores on the list shocked Wang Yan.
There were a lot who were goddess-like in looks but failed in special points, and the scores were as low as 20 or 30 points… were they crazy?
Needless to say, people with such scores had to be eliminated.
Pulling internet celebrities to set up a company was not to select concubines. In fact, special point was not important as Wang Yan did not intend to do anything.
But from another perspective– such women would either had a big problem with her IQ, or had a big flaw in her personality. It would definitely be troublesome to recruit them.
A beautiful woman could use her body as a weapon, but she could not keep offering herself. More so, she could not offer to whoever she came across.
Compared to them, Gao Ya could be considered smart, very smart.
“Filter the list, exclude all targets with special points below 60.”
After deliberating for a moment, Wang Yan set the qualifying score at 60, a relatively reasonable level.
You can be open and wild, but at least you have a brain. Why would someone with too much dark history become an internet celebrity?
After one round of screening, the 425 persons name list suddenly dropped to 277 persons. There was not many left.
The second step, Wang Yan eliminated all the girls over 173 cm in height.
With such a good-looking face and height, most of them would follow the conventional model route. They would definitely be the focus of training for the major modeling agencies.
The price of poaching people was high, but the significance was not great.
To be an internet celebrity or a live streamer, the most important thing was to be approachable, distinctive, and down-to-earth. They were different from the noble and cold fashion models.
Among them, there was a 179-year-old girl whose stage name was Youting. She had 95 for looks, 90 for figure and 90 for special.
Her qualities were really high…
Unfortunately, nothing could be done about her height. She could only walk on the road of modeling until she died.
Similar to her, there were a few Ukrainian foreign models. They were really beautiful. They were all tall and beautiful but had narrow development direction. They were all noted by Wang Yan as “You can touch them and you can also not touch them”.
If there was no price to pay, they could try to raise them. If it was a little difficult, it was not worth poaching them.
Another group that needed to be avoided was “already famous artists”. In the big list, there were many female stars that Wang Yan had an impression of when he saw their names.
He directly eliminated them all.
In Wang Yan’s eyes, the real good seedlings were actually a group of unpopular and not very popular models.
They were between 160-168 in height. Their bodies were well-proportioned and normal. Their looks were not particularly of high score, but they all had their own characteristics. When taking hard photos, it was easy for them to not have enough aura, but in life, they covered a wider range.
Taking materials based on demand was the embodiment of a clear goal.
After roughly dividing more than 200 girls into four categories of SABC, Young Master Wang began to write notes.
As a special grade, the S grade was not particularly outstanding in terms of appearance and figure. The only high standard was the special grade.
Half of the special grade was made up of skin and physique, while the other half represented principles.
Only by adhering to principles could one resist temptation and maintain a high score.
That meant that one had a strict boundary between professional and private life, strong personality, clear goal and a bottom line at the same time. She was also rule abiding and had strong self-control.
Beautiful women with similar personalities had a lower chance of success than those who were good at taking advantage of their physical advantages.
However, once they really went up based on their strength, it was very difficult to be defeated.
After substituting himself for the role of a capitalist or a boss, Wang Yan was very sure that he appreciated this type more and was more willing to give them a chance.
There was nothing else to worry about!
I didn’t lack beautiful women, right?
Beautiful but not using the body, willing to work hard professionally, even if her talent was average, Young Master Wang was willing to keep them for free, providing at least one chance.
They were much more reliable than the women who were full of crooked ways.
Unfortunately, only nine out of the S category were selected.
It could be seen that in this industry, girls who were born beautiful and had self restraint were very rare.
Well, a girl with more than 80 special points could very well restrain herself, but her physique was born natural. Therefore there was nothing to argue about.
Therefore, Young Master Wang no longer considered special points for grade A and below grade A. 80 and 60 were the same, it was just a matter of luck.
Of course, the grading was only temporary. It would have to be adjusted after the interview.
EQ, IQ, talent, and chat ability, all had to be tested.
Internet celebrities were born at the right time. No one knew exactly how to play it.
Wang Yan could only follow his own understanding and vaguely point out a way out. Then, he let Wang Yunxi expand the coverage as much as possible, using quantity to deal with uncertainty.
In economics, this was a competitive strategy of covering the needs.
Since you didn’t know what the customer wanted to see, I might as well make it all for you. You just need to use your feet to vote. Whoever you put up, the company would not lose anything.
Of course, the base salary would be a big part of the cost, and it might take some time to burn real money in the early stages.
It wasn’t a big problem, and Wang Yan could afford it.
Just like how a novel website used the full attendance reward to nurture a failed author, once a god was cultivated, the profit would be enough to cover all the failed full attendance costs.
At the same time, it also built a relatively high competitive threshold for competitors.
This was how racing was supposed to be played.
Uh, probably…
Wang Yan did not have a clear prediction of the possibility of success. His keen sense of smell and confidence had led to such a happy decision.
It seemed very reckless. If he were to be placed in the sunset industry, he would definitely lose all his assets.
But the problem was that this was a brand new racing track…
Taking advantage of the fact that he did not have any competitors, he ran to the front to play. He would not lose out no matter what.
After organizing the 202 names, Wang Yunxi called him after the meeting.
“Chief Wang, we’ve communicated with each other. Everyone has agreed that there’s a lot to be done to expand the company!”
There were probably people beside him. Wang Yunxi was addressing him Chief Wang.
Chief Wang nodded. “Okay, then you guys need to do three things now.
First, expand the company to fill up the talent gap in each position.
Second, negotiate with the partners and prepare for the third big eater competition.
Third, contact the Mei Ko platform. No matter what the reason or means, you must personally interview the models on the list.”
Wang Yunxi replied methodically.
“It’s easy to organize a competition. Now that we’ve established a unique brand, everyone knows our company when it comes to the big eater competition. Not only is Haidilao very willing to cooperate, there are also a few other food companies in Shanghai that are very interested.
Today, we’ve discussed an idea–
Can we simply cooperate with Mei ko platform and combine the big eater with art, fashion, makeup, and photography?
I’ve heard from a side source that Mei Ko is currently discussing a strategic collaboration with a Hong Kong listed company. They’re going to receive a significant amount of strategic investment, and they should need some activities to create momentum.
If we directly connect them, it’ll be easy for us to contact those models. At the same time, we can dispel the target’s doubts, show off our muscles, and reduce the difficulty of the negotiations…..”
Wang Yunxi grew up very quickly.
His words were clear, his goals were clear, and he killed many birds with one stone. He was very skilled.
The young master couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “After three days of separation, I’ll look at you in a new light.”
“Your idea is very good. Let’s do it according to your ideas!”
“Okay, Chief Wang, we’ll start doing it right away!”
Wang Yunxi nodded excitedly, and then he thought of another matter.
“Oh right, Chief Wang, I’m preparing to hold two sub-venues for the interview. One in Shanghai and one in capital. Do you want to personally check it out?”
Wang Yan thought about it…
Yes, it was necessary to personally check it out!
Wang Yunxi’s image and temperament were not enough, and his eloquence was poor. It was very difficult for him to display the biggest advantage of Wangting Yule. I would introduce a behind-the-scenes boss. At the crucial moment, I would have to show up…
Sigh, those who are capable would have to work hard. It’s my fate that I had to work hard!
“Alright, you do all the preparatory work. I’ll go and take a look during the interview.
There’s just one thing to note–
The name list must be kept strictly confidential. No one was allowed to see the complete list except you!”
Wang Yan agreed readily and carefully discussed all the details with Wang Yunxi. They only ended the call when it was almost lunchtime.
Wang Yunxi had grown very quickly, but his new operations was too unruly. He couldn’t handle it at all.
At the critical moment, Wang Yan still had to step up.
However, as long as this could be done, the company’s expansion would not be a problem, and it would really explode.
Therefore, he had to talk to Ling Ya and the others about the redistribution of shares.
Either he injected capital, diluted it, or set up another company or two and set up a group above him..
There was a high chance that the three measures would work together.
While he was thinking, Ling Ya really called and took the initiative to talk to Wang Yan.
“Young Master Wang, are you busy? Can we have a chat?”
“Sure, I have to make way for my partners. Take your time.” Wang Yan smiled.
Sure enough, it was about the shares.
“We only found out about your plan this morning and were shocked. But on second thought, it’s a good thing, so we voted for it directly.”.
“Next, it will probably involve a lot of capital operations and structural adjustments, right?
On behalf of everyone, I would like to express my support and trust in all of your decisions. If you come up with a plan, we will have the money to pay for it, but we will not have the money to sign it, and that will be the end of it.
I just hope that you can explain to us… er, not explain, just take us through.
After all, we don’t know as much as you do, and we don’t see as far as you do. When we follow you, we can also learn something, okay?”
“Of course, no problem. It’s a very reasonable request.”
Young Master Wang chuckled happily and explained to her naturally and easily.
“Actually, it was really a sudden whim. I just found the channel yesterday, and I felt that it was an opportunity that couldn’t be missed, so I had to make a move.
As for your interests, I’ll definitely protect them well. We can discuss the specific adjustment plan and tell everyone not to worry.”
Ling Ya was very respectful.
“Of course we trust you. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have agreed to the proposal directly. We will report to you after the meeting.”
There was nothing wrong with that. The sequence showed that Ling Ya and the others really trusted Wang Yan.
The trust accumulated from one incident after another made Young Master Wang very comfortable in doing things.
“Okay, then we will discuss it in detail next time we meet. Money is always a small matter with me. Friends are the most important.”
“Alright, Young Master Wang. Bye Bye!”
Ling Ya was very straightforward. She did not say anything else, which made Young Master Wang very happy.
In his career, he would rather earn less than work with smart people. Otherwise, he would face external pressure and have to deal with internal conflicts later.
It just that the matter of money… seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.
After spending the 7.25 million, Young Master Wang only had 2.47 million in cash, but his experience points had soared to 3,486/12,500.
Today was Wednesday the 7th, and he would only have a few hundred thousand breathing wages by next Monday. If there was a intermediate level Lucky Roulette in the mall, Wang couldn’t even afford it.
But no matter what, the 7.85 million was worth it.
Without beauty radar, if a god came, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to a Mei Ko model.
What was that place?
A photographer, a makeup artist, a late-stage re-toucher, and a model with a 70-point beauty baseline…
The results were all amazing!
Who could Tell?!
As for paying the membership fee and letting the platform help with the selection…
Dream On!
It was only at this moment that the management team didn’t have any thoughts on internet celebrity, nor did they have any need for transformation. Only then did they have a loophole to exploit. When the management team realized that they were playing on their own, it was likely that no one would be able to contact the model directly.
At this moment, even if they wanted to get a pimp, they would have to go through the management team.
The problem of trust was not so easy to solve.
After settling most of the trivial matters, the sand sculptures returned with a full load. They called Wang Yan to go downstairs for lunch.
The last meal at the forest hot spring was simple. It was all kinds of vegetables, wild vegetables, and a few specialty dishes from the hotel.
No one paid much attention to the food. They kept chattering to express their shock.
“Class monitor, it’s a pity that you didn’t go up!”
“It’s true. Although the pond is small, it doesn’t have any obstruction when facing the green mountains. That feeling is simply too great!”
“Free and unfettered, having everything!”
“Right, right, right. It’s as if the entire mountain and the entire sky are yours. It’s so cool!”
“Boss, look at my photos that I took. Handsome?”
Wang Yan listened with a smile and couldn’t help but nod. “It’s good that you guys are having fun. I’m fine with it.”
He was so kind. He was so smug that he didn’t even strike a blow and let them off lightly.
After eating happily, everyone went back to their rooms to pack their luggage and set off on the return journey together.
Wang Yan kept his promise and invited Yan Huaishi and Yan Bao to take the bus together. The bus could seat 55 people, and there were even five empty seats on the bus.
When they were counting the number of people, the sand sculptures quietly asked Wang Yan, “Big Brother, where are the sisters-in-law?”
“Get lost!”
Wang Yan glared at them. “They’re just good friends. They’ve already gone back.”
Like Jade refused to believe it even if he was beaten to death. He pouted at her big brother on the spot.
“Nonsense. In the morning, you had already done the whole thing three times. Big Brother, you didn’t even show your face. Were you fighting the landlord in the house?”
Hiss, this matter was really hard to explain..
However, to Young Master Wang, there was no need to explain this trivial matter.
i was the Big Brother, I had the final say!
He directly waved at Sichuan Boy and the rest. “Go on the show, tell Like Jade to shut up!”
The world instantly became quiet.
Yan Bao nestled in Wang Yan’s arms and asked cutely, “Big Brother, why are they beating Like Jade?”
“Because Big Brother Like Jade is picky with his food and doesn’t eat properly. He always steals ice cream and doesn’t brush his teeth after eating…”
The Little Loli was so scared that she immediately covered her mouth and kept quiet. She didn’t dare to look behind her anymore.
“That’s indeed not good…”
Halfway through her childish comments, she started to smile in an ingratiating manner for some secret purpose. Then, she changed the topic.
“But, it’s fine to criticize a little. The teacher said that hitting and scolding should not be used as a means of education…”
When she grinned, a black hole with missing teeth appeared on her face, and her words were like air leaking out of her mouth.
The girls around her were laughing so hard that they could not breathe. It was simply too funny.
Amidst the laughter, time flew by.
At 6:30 pm, the bus rushed into the Star City district and dropped off Yan Huaishi’s family of three in front of Wanda Square.
Wang Yan waved his hand in a friendly manner and didn’t reveal any of his thoughts.
It’s useless to be anxious. I didn’t want to talk about money with you guys. I was going to… talk about relationships!
In any case, if I had my eyes on you guys, didn’t even think about running away. Just lay down obediently and we would all be at ease.
Building a manor was different from seizing the internet celebrity economic track. The former was a hundred-year-old business. In the stage of building the foundation, it was most taboo to be anxious for quick success and instant benefits.
On the contrary, it was Wang Yan who did it neither too fast nor too slow but steadily. That was the correct path.
Although there were not many talents that were selected through observation, from Dave to Yu Qiuli to Yan Huaishi, they all had a sufficient foundation of relationship and mutual trust. That was the only way to have a team working together.
When the momentum was complete, and they had accumulated enough experience, they would be able to win the world in one battle.
When it had to be fast, it would be fast. When it had to be slow, it would be slow. Master rhythm was nothing more than that.
