This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 314 Brainwashing Crazy Young Brother Yang
In the afternoon of the next day, Li Chuan sent Wu Jinyan away, then took the black Alpha, set foot on the highway, and rushed to Hefei.

Why go to Hefei?
Because he was going to find Xiao Yang and his brothers.

As early as September last year, he signed Brother Yang and his brothers to the company, and it has been more than half a year now.

For more than half a year, although Xiao Yang and his brothers are masters under Sanmu Network, they have been outside the system of Sanmu Network.

Why is this happening?

The reasons are complex, but can be roughly summarized in three points:
1. Sanmu Network did not sign a full contract with Brother Xiao Yang.

At the beginning, Li Chuan and Brother Xiao Yang signed an online contract with offline supplements. The platform was limited to Douyin, and the brokerage business was limited to short videos and live broadcasts.

That is to say, the brothers Xiao Yang will only be subject to the management and restrictions of Sanmu Network when they are posting videos on Douyin or broadcasting live broadcasts. If they are active on other platforms, or participate in offline commercial performances, filming, singing, Variety shows, etc., Sanmu Network has no control at all.

Such a form of contract has extremely low restriction efficiency and is difficult to achieve effective control.

Without effective management and control, Sanmu Networks will not invest too much energy in Xiao Yang and his brothers.

The reason is simple, input and gain are not directly proportional.

Sanmu Network has many full appointment anchors and short video experts, such as Li Kun, Liu Xintong, Wu Xiaobai and so on.

These all-job anchors and short video masters are their "sons".

In contrast, Xiao Yang and his brothers are more like "outsiders".

Instead of spending energy on cultivating "outsiders", it is better to work more on "sons".

Cultivating "pro-sons" can gain more benefits, while cultivating "outsiders" may be nothing.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, let alone companies.

2. Brother Xiao Yang is unwilling to come to Hangzhou for development.

The relationship between Sanmu Network and Xiao Yang brothers is weak, the contract form is only one of the reasons, and another reason is geographical restrictions.

If Brother Xiao Yang is willing to come to Hangzhou to develop and stay in the company every day, then Sanmu Networks will have to cultivate it if not cultivate it.

However, the two brothers Xiao Yang have a strong affection for their hometown, and they are unwilling to leave Hefei no matter what.

They stayed in Hefei, and Sanmu Network couldn't cultivate them carefully, because the communication efficiency was too low.

3. Brother Xiao Yang's energy is not on the Internet.

At the end of last year, Brother Xiao Yang opened a hot pot restaurant in Hefei.

They may be a first-time entrepreneur and put almost all of their energy into it.

In the past few months, although they have not completely given up updating videos, the frequency and quality of video updates have been greatly reduced.

It can also be seen from this point that they have not paid much attention to network work.

The relationship between Sanmu Network and them is limited to the Internet, and their energy is not on the Internet, so the relationship between the two has naturally weakened a lot.

For the above three reasons, the relationship between Sanmu Network and Xiao Yang brothers is not close. For more than half a year, they have only maintained a superficial cooperation.

However, from Li Chuan's personal point of view, he still values ​​Xiao Yang and his brothers very much.

Needless to say, the reason is that Crazy Little Brother Yang is a super Internet celebrity of later generations... Douyin has more than [-] million fans, and nearly [-] million fans on the whole network. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is "the number one Internet celebrity in the country".

How could he not pay attention to such a person.

In the early days, he was afraid that Brother Xiao Yang would grow up too fast and affect his status, so he deliberately suppressed them. Later, as his fame and status gradually increased, he no longer thought about it.

At that time, he planned to train Xiao Yang and his brothers well, but who knew that they had opened a hot pot restaurant before he started to act.

He knows that people who just started their businesses are stunned, and outsiders can't persuade them. They will only turn around when they really hit the wall.

Therefore, he temporarily canceled his plan to train Xiao Yang and his brothers, and planned to wait until the other party's hot pot restaurant closed down before taking action.

At first, he thought that it would be almost over after the winter, but he didn't expect that Brother Xiao Yang and his brother were quite strong, and there was no news until now.

The news came from Li Hongtao.

Who is Li Hongtao?
It was Li Chuan's assistant arranged for Xiao Yang and his brothers.

When signing the contract, Li Chuan promised to arrange two assistants for Brother Yang and Brother Yang, and Li Hongtao was one of them.

For more than half a year, Li Hongtao's salary has been paid by Sanmu Network.

The purpose of Li Chuan paying him his salary was to allow him to supervise Xiao Yang and his brothers, and any news would be sent back in time.

Li Hongtao completed this task very well.

Yesterday morning, he called and said: "Brother Xiao Yang's hot pot restaurant is about to die. Recently, they have the idea of ​​transferring the hot pot restaurant."

When Li Chuan heard the news, he immediately beamed with joy.

'After dragging on for so long, it is finally going to close down. '

Li Chuan secretly thought, and immediately decided to take the time to go to Hefei to brainwash Xiao Yang and his brothers.

Yesterday, it was inconvenient for him to move because he wanted to broadcast live. Today he happened to be free, so he contacted Xiao Yang and his brothers in advance, and after preparing to send Wu Jinyan away, he went to Hefei.

Hangzhou is more than 400 kilometers away from Hefei, and it takes five or six hours to drive.

It is faster to take the high-speed rail, which only takes more than two hours.

However, taking the high-speed rail requires waiting, the time is not free, and it is not comfortable, so Li Chuan gave up.

Right now, he is riding a black Alphard, Zhu Chenwei is in charge of driving, and he is lying on the soft back seat and playing with his mobile phone... This process is much more comfortable than taking the high-speed rail.

……

At 07:30 in the evening, at the intersection of the Shushan District Expressway in HF City.

On the side of the spacious road, there are two particularly eye-catching cars parked, a sports car and an off-road vehicle.

The sports car is a Chevrolet Corvette, an American national treasure civilian supercar, priced at more than 100 million, and has a handsome appearance, but it has a fatal flaw...its hood is manual, every time you manually open or close the hood , will feel a little ashamed.

The off-road is a Wrangler, and the price is about 50... However, this Wrangler has been refitted, and the modification is very large. The price plus the modification fee is estimated to exceed 100 million.

Those two cars, anyone who watched the video of Crazy Little Brother Yang would know that they were the cars of Little Brother Yang and Brother Big Yang respectively.

At this moment, Little Brother Yang and Big Brother Yang were standing beside the two cars, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Hiss, it's really cold."

Little Brother Yang with yellow hair put his hands in his trouser pockets, shrunk his neck, and then asked Big Brother Yang next to him, "When will Brother Sen arrive?"

"how could I know."

"Call and ask."

"What did you ask? I asked it just now, and now I'm asking it again?"

"What just now?"

Brother Yang poked his neck and said, "Twenty to ten minutes have passed."

"What happened in 10 minutes?"

Brother Dayang frowned and said, "Just wait, there are so many words."

"Ask what's wrong."

"Ask yourself and ask yourself!"

"Yeah, I'm so impressed with you that I don't even dare to make a phone call."

"Can't you fight yourself!"

Brother Dayang said a little annoyed: "It's not that you don't have Brother Sen's WeChat account, you can just type it yourself, why do you want me!"

"You can fight yourself, you think I'm as cowardly as you."

After Xiao Yang finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call.

However, as soon as he opened WeChat, he was stopped by Brother Dayang.

"Wait a moment."

"what happened?"

"Looks like it's coming."

"Um?!"

Brother Yang looked up, and saw a black Alpha slowly driving out of the station, then came to them and stopped.

Seeing this, Little Brother Yang and Big Brother Yang looked at each other, and then hurriedly went up to meet them.

The car door opened, revealing Li Chuan with a smile on his face.

"Brother Sen."

"Brother Sen."

Li Chuan didn't get out of the car, but shook hands with Brother Big Yang and Brother Young Yang through the open car door, and then asked, "Why are you waiting here? Isn't it cold?"

"It's your first time in Hefei, aren't we afraid that you don't know the way?"

"With navigation, what are you afraid of?"

"Navigation sometimes makes mistakes, you finally came here..."

"Don't you, yours."

Li Chuan interrupted: "We are the same age, we are brothers, don't make a fool of yourself."

Although he said so, he also understood the psychological state of Xiao Yang and his brothers.

More than half a year ago, when Brother Xiao Yang and his brothers met him for the first time, their attitudes were not so respectful. When the two sides communicated, they basically maintained a normal heart. The attitude has undergone a great change, the original sense of normalcy has disappeared, and they have completely put themselves in the identity of "little brothers".

Why is this happening?

The reason, of course, is that Li Chuan has developed too fast in the past six months or so.

More than half a year ago, he was just a relatively popular Internet celebrity on Douyin; more than half a year later, he has become "the first brother with goods", with a reputation and traffic that dominate the crowd, and can even be said to be "the number one Internet celebrity in the country" .

A change in status is bound to be accompanied by a change in the attitude of people around you. This is human nature, and no one can avoid it.

Of course, Li Chuan can understand this.

However, even though he understood, he had to put on a posture to let Xiao Yang and his brothers understand that he was still the original him, and he would not deliberately manipulate or put on a show.

If he doesn't do this, it will be difficult to communicate afterwards.

He came all the way to Hefei to brainwash Xiao Yang and his brothers, not to pretend.

"Uh, sorry, Brother Sen, we..."

Brother Dayang couldn't continue speaking halfway through, and scratched his head to himself.

"okay."

Li Chuan waved his hand: "Stop standing here, it's so cold, let's go somewhere and sit down and talk."

"okay."

Brother Dayang responded, and said again: "We booked a private room at the Orange Lake Hotel, not far from here..."

"What are you doing at the restaurant?"

"what?"

Brother Dayang didn't understand for a while, and his expression was a little confused.

"Didn't you open a hot pot restaurant?"

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it closed now?"

"Oh."

Brother Dayang came to understand, and quickly replied: "It's open, but... the conditions there are not very good..."

"fine."

Li Chuan waved his hand again and said: "What conditions do you want, we are brothers, just eat whatever you want, besides, let's also see your hot pot restaurant."

"This one……"

Brother Dayang looked a little troubled.

"Brother Sen has already said, let's go to the hot pot restaurant."

Little Brother Yang said, "I'll call them and ask them to prepare."

'Sure enough, Brother Yang is decisive. '

Li Chuan thought to himself, smiled and patted Brother Dayang on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, Dayang, don't worry about it, let's go, I'm hungry."

"Yes, let's go quickly, don't waste time." Little Brother Yang interjected again.

Brother Dayang didn't speak, but nodded silently.

Everyone got into the car, and the black Elfa followed Corvette and the Wrangler, and drove slowly towards the city.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, everyone arrived at their destination.

Li Chuan got out of the car and looked up, only to see the huge signboard with four big characters - "Kuanzhai Alley".

'The name sounds familiar, it seems to be a chain hot pot restaurant. '

'Well, it should be the kind of joining. '

Li Chuan thought to himself.

In his opinion, the franchised hot pot restaurants are generally not much better.

Because in today's market, good hot pot restaurant brands are basically self-operated.

The most famous one is Haidilao.

There are nearly a thousand Haidilao stores all over the world, all of which are self-operated.

Why self-employed?

Because only self-employment can control everything.

If you can't control everything, if there is a problem with the quality of dishes or service in any restaurant, it will inevitably cause serious damage to the brand.

In addition, even if there are no problems with the dishes and services, but the development direction of individual stores differs from the overall plan of the brand, it will also deal a blow to the development of the brand.

Therefore, if you want to really make a brand well, the only way to go is "self-operated".

As for those who are open to the outside world to join, nine out of ten are pitfalls.

Most of the franchisees want to make quick money and leave immediately.

The more well-known ones in this regard are none other than Chen He's Xianhezhuang.

The "Xianhezhuang incident" of later generations caused a stir all over the Internet, and Chen He was almost blocked because of it.

From this, we can see how deceitful it is to join a hot pot restaurant.

Of course, it can't be killed with a stick.

Some brands are still doing well.

"Come with me, Brother Sen."

Brother Xiao Yang led the way in front, and Li Chuan followed behind and walked into the hot pot restaurant.

As soon as he entered the door, he found eight waiters in uniform standing in two rows at the door.

'Heh, it's quite ritualistic. '

Li Chuan couldn't help laughing.

He had only seen this kind of scene in a five-star hotel, and it was the first time for a hot pot restaurant.

However, nothing surprising.

These days, as long as it can attract business, it is reasonable to do anything.

It's just that the actions of Xiao Yang and his brothers seem to have no effect, because looking up, there are not many customers in the hot pot restaurant.

Li Chuan was thinking like this, and suddenly there was a chorus of shouts in his ears.

"Brother Sen!!!"
