Financial Freedom: Starting from a Monthly Income of Three Thousand

Chapter 128: Blackmail (5000-word chapter, please vote for me)

Sudden,

A pair of warm hands quietly placed on his temples, rubbing them gently.

Gao Yuan did not open his eyes, he knew it was Li Mengqing who came.

If it was Lin Wanyu, she would have jumped into his arms at this time.

"My family called me today and scolded me."

"But this is also a good thing. Now that they all know that I have a boyfriend, they probably won't force me to go on a blind date anymore."

Gao Yuan reached out and grabbed Li Mengqing's hand and pulled her against him.

Hold her and let her lie quietly on your chest.

"Give me some more time, and your family issues will definitely be resolved."

Li Mengqing didn't speak, but nodded obediently.

The two stayed on the balcony for a short while, and then Gao Yuan returned to the living room with Li Mengqing in his arms.

It was already December and it was still very cold outside. He was not willing to keep Li Mengqing cold.

After washing up, the three of them went to bed early tonight.

At the end of the day, the three of them were all a little tired, so Gao Yuan hugged the two of them and fell asleep early.

When Gao Yuan came to the company again the next day, he found that he was no longer as busy as yesterday.

Although there are also some express boxes waiting to be shipped in the warehouse area, there are probably only more than a thousand orders, which is not as exaggerated as yesterday.

I checked yesterday's orders in the office, and sure enough, the efficiency of all three stores dropped off a cliff.

The three stores only sold more than 2,000 orders in one day.

However, Gao Yuan was not dissatisfied. This situation was completely expected.

Gao Yuan then contacted Lao Xue. This time he did not mention the brand endorsement, but only asked about Lao Xue's sponsorship of the New Year's Eve concert.

As a result, Lao Xue’s naming rights for the New Year’s Eve concert have also been sold.

The key is the buyer or L'Oreal Group.

This made Gao Yuan excited again!

At present, Jay Chou has not announced the change of naming rights. If he takes over Lao Xue's naming rights, the two of them will announce the news at the same time.

The shock would be even greater!

For fun, Gao Yuan directly gave Lao Xue the chips he offered to Director Jay yesterday.

Regarding this matter, Lao Xue's attitude is not that serious. He doesn't care who names it, he just wants to make more money.

Not only did he agree to change the naming rights, he also said that he would record a video specifically for Gao Yuan's GY brand, which would be posted on his social account.

This was an unexpected surprise for Gao Yuan.

He immediately arranged for someone to send samples to Lao Xue. Of course, these samples were also marked by the system.

On the other hand, Gao Yuan synchronized the information with Jay Chou and Lao Xue, hoping that they would announce it on the same day.

At this time, both of them understood what Gao Yuan had planned.

However, these are normal business practices. Since they agreed to change the title sponsor, they did not care about this matter.

After dealing with the naming rights matter, Gao Yuan called Si Xue to the office.

"How much money does our company have on its books now?"

When Si Xue came over, she guessed that Gao Yuan would ask this question. She listed all the recent expenses one by one and started to report to Gao Yuan.

“Currently, the company still has a total of 800 million on its books.

"100 million of it needs to be paid to the Douyin platform within next week."

"40 million needs to be paid to Jay Chou's Studio for the naming rights in 2024 in January."

"We need to pay 3 million yuan to Lin Group at the end of the month."

After Si Xue finished his report, Gao Yuan rubbed his temples and said, "Does this mean that out of the 300 million in our account, we will only have 76 million left in January?"

"Yes."

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said to Si Xue: "Don't pay the Lin Group's payment for the goods yet."

"You should contact Lao Xue's studio and pay for the naming rights fee that was just negotiated."

After Si Xue left the office, Gao Yuan did a rough calculation and found that by January the remaining funds on the company's account would only be 40 million.

The sales of the three stores by the end of the month should be about 20 million, but this money has a billing period and can only be paid gradually. In other words, the funds he can use for future company operations will be around 50 million.

If he wants to earn at least 300 million in 2024, he must not only prepare enough products, but also prepare enough marketing expenses in advance.

This money is really not worth spending!

Less than a week after receiving the 300 million yuan, it was almost spent.

Gao Yuan felt a little like he was too prodigal.

Starting a business is such a difficult road. If I had known it was so expensive, I might as well have focused on winning over Xiao Xiao, a rich woman.

After all, facing a rich woman only requires physical strength!

But Gao Yuan also knows that it is not easy to make money from rich women, and men have to rely on themselves, especially now that he has two women.

After he was free, Gao Yuan opened Douyin to check out the live broadcast.

Today's GY flagship store live broadcast screen is a little different from before. It no longer uses the background of Jay Chou's concert, and returns to the daily live broadcast mode that belongs to the brand's tone.

The anchor worked hard to introduce the products in the live broadcast room, and from time to time he would also tell everyone that you can buy stocking packages.

However, the number of people placing orders was obviously much lower than yesterday. Fortunately, the anchor has always had a better attitude, and the entire live broadcast was smooth and smooth.

The company is now on the right track. GY's sudden exit is like a shot of excitement for this group of people, and everyone is busy working hard.

Gao Yuan is quite satisfied with this situation. At least these people's fighting spirit has been aroused. As long as he doesn't let go and gives him all the treatment he deserves, these people will work harder.

To make money, no one can have too much for a wage earner.

2023 is just the beginning. When 2024 enters, he will surely have a bumper harvest.

Gao Yuan emphasized to Sister Sun again that he must do a good job in service, and then drove back to No. 1 Courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he parked the car, he met Xiao Xiao who was going downstairs to go out.

"The tall and handsome guy should not stay in the company during the entrepreneurial stage!"

The first thing Xiao Xiao said when she saw Gao Yuan was about his business venture.

Gao Yuan also noticed that Xiao Xiao's name for him changed again. With the words "tall and handsome boy", the relationship between the two became much closer.

"well!"

“It’s so hard to start a business.”

Gao Yuan deliberately made a sad face and gave Xiao Xiao a miserable look.

He didn't expect that he had just thought of Xiao Xiao in the morning and met by chance in the underground garage at noon. Could it be that the two of them had a good connection.

Xiao Xiao just smiled. She also often pays attention to some hot search lists. She knows that Gao Yuan's GY brand has become very popular these days, and she just bought three boxes of facial masks in the live broadcast room.

Because Xiao Xiao was going out, the two just chatted briefly. Gao Yuan walked to the elevator, while Xiao Xiao walked to her car.

Unexpectedly, before Gao Yuan took a few steps, Xiao Xiao's voice came from behind again.

"Will you go to Jay Chou's concert in Shanghai?"

"go!"

Gao Yuan turned his head and answered.

After he answered, a bright smile appeared on Xiao Xiao's face, she opened the car door and got in.

Watching Xiao Xiao drive away, Gao Yuan stood there thoughtfully.

Does Xiao Xiao also want to go to Jay Chou's concert in Magic City?

Gao Yuan returned home with doubts and opened the door, but did not see Lin Wanyu.

He changed his shoes and took just a few steps when he saw Lin Wanyu busy in the kitchen.

Arriving at the door of the kitchen, Lin Wanyu was wearing an apron, holding a mobile phone in one hand and cooking vegetables in the other.

Not to mention, this posture is kind of cute.

Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and recorded a video directly and sent it to the small group of three people.

However, Li Mengqing in the group did not respond. Gao Yuan thought she was busy, so he went directly to change clothes.

At this time, Wuyou Media.

Li Mengqing didn't have time to read Xiaoqun's messages. She was sitting in her boss's office.

Gao Yuan and Yuanfang Company suddenly became popular, which gave Boss Wuyou, who was already paying attention to the hot search list, new ideas.

Li Mengqing also appeared at Jay Chou's concert that day. He didn't expect that an employee of his company would have such a talented boyfriend.

Moreover, Gao Yuan's temperament shows that he is not an ordinary person at first glance.

Especially Gao Yuan's singing skills are so strong. If he can sign with the company, he can easily create an account worth tens of millions.

He chatted with Li Mengqing for a while about the company's business, and then asked about Li Mengqing's work situation, and then asked whether Gao Yuan wanted to develop into the Internet.

"My boyfriend is really good at singing. Have you ever thought about making a debut?"

Li Mengqing didn't understand when she heard the boss's tentative greeting.

"He had no idea about it."

Li Mengqing answered simply and directly.

The boss didn't call her here to care about her work. He just wanted to sign Gao Yuan and came here to test her.

Li Mengqing didn't even think about this matter and directly refused for Gao Yuan.

Are you kidding me? Gao Yuan has already started his own business, and the sales of GY brand have been so good recently, how can he become an Internet celebrity?

Regarding this point, Wuyou also considered it a bit unrealistic, so he proposed to create two accounts around Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing.

With Gao Yuan's current traffic and the fact that the popularity of this matter has not subsided, Wuyou is very confident that he will become famous in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, Li Mengqing also refused this matter.

In the short videos that appeared before saying that Gao Yuan had two girlfriends at the same time, she and Lin Wanyu both regretted that they overacted at the concert. Now they are allowed to become Internet celebrities. Wouldn't that cause Gao Yuan trouble?

Rejecting the boss's proposal, Li Mengqing returned to her office.

Sitting behind her desk, she also fell into deep thought.

She wants to resign!

Ever since Gao Yuan started trending on the search, Li Mengqing suddenly realized that Gao Yuan's recent development was too fast.

As soon as he started his business, he became the second largest shareholder of Lin Group.

Although she didn't know how good Gao Yuan's secret recipe was, it made Lin Group willing to exchange 15% of its shares.

But recently she has been using GY's facial mask. After using it for more than a week, she can clearly feel that her skin is different from before.

This also means that Gao Yuan will become famous sooner or later, and his future assets will be at least measured in hundreds of millions.

At that time, she was still a wage earner with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, and the gap between the two would become wider and wider.

When that time comes, can we really maintain our current relationship?

Now that the boss has come up with such an idea, Li Mengqing suddenly feels that she can no longer work here, and she may not know when she will cause trouble to Gao Yuan again.

She originally felt that she had done nothing to help Gao Yuan. If she caused trouble to Gao Yuan again, she would feel even more uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Li Mengqing turned on her computer and started writing her resignation application.

Courtyard No.1.

Gao Yuan and Lin Wanyu sat at the dining table together.

Whenever Gao Yuan tastes a dish, Lin Wanyu looks at Gao Yuan expectantly.

“Not bad, good salty taste.”

Lin Wanyu was very happy after hearing Gao Yuan's evaluation.

She didn't eat a bite for a long time and kept watching Gao Yuan eat.

In fact, Lin Wanyu's meal was pretty good, and it didn't turn into a dark dish. The only shortcoming might be that too much water was added to the rice, and the steamed rice turned into rice porridge.

The two of them had a meal, rested at home for a while, and then drove directly to the Lin Group.

Gao Yuan is not here today to discuss product supply, but to extort money.

During the last loan, Lin Hongnian had already mentioned that he wanted to speed up the process of other skin care products. That time, Gao Yuan only gave the secret recipe for an eye mask.

But now that the plan cannot keep up with the changes, he also needs to speed up the improvement of the product system.

Recently, customer service has reported that many people are asking whether they have other products. One facial mask alone cannot cultivate loyal users. After all, users' needs cannot be met by one facial mask.

Only after GY's product system is perfected can the stickiness between the brand and users reach its highest level.

Moreover, it is still too slow to make money from facial masks alone. Other skin care products, especially gift sets, are the main money-makers, so he also wants to put other series of products on the agenda as soon as possible.

Although the Lin Group is not as popular as Gao Yuan's Yuanfang Company, it is a big business!

Not only does it own many brands, but it also has its own offline channels. The shipment volume in any given day is not comparable to that of Yuanfang companies.

The Lin Group is more eager to produce a full range of products sooner than he is. This is why Lin Hongnian once again urged Gao Yuan to speed up the improvement of the product system when he proposed a loan last time.

so,

Gao Yuan came to Lin Group this time well prepared.

Since Mr. Lin has made money and wants to launch other skin care products as soon as possible, there is a high probability that Gao Yuan can succeed in this scam.

certainly,

Gao Yuan will not go too far, he just plans to waive the payment for this period of time.

It's not much money, just a few million, and it's nothing compared to the money the Lin Group makes from building an entire product line.

Lin Hongnian's office.

The four of them sat on the sofa. Gao Yuan and Lin Wanyu sat together. On the left was Lin Hongnian, whose face was glowing, and on the right was Lin Sida, who was beaming with joy.

There are no outsiders here, and the four of them speak very directly, without so much beating around the bush.

"Brother Yuan, if you are on the hot search this time, it should be of great help to Yuanfang Company, right?"

"The GY brand has soared into the sky!"

Lin Sida's words had a sour taste, and he was glared at by Lin Hongnian just after he finished speaking.

Gao Yuan smiled and didn't care, "Oh, I only sold more than 10,000 orders on the first day, but it won't work after that."

Lin Hongnian said to his son Lin Sida, who hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, "Talk less and learn more!"

He is not Lin Sida, and his perspective on things is not limited to what is in front of him.

He had made some assumptions since Lin Wanyu approached him about singing on stage, but he didn't expect Gao Yuan to be so talented in singing.

The sudden explosion of the Yuanfang Group this time was also an unexpected event.

In the past two days, he has been asking the person in charge of the e-commerce below to pay attention to GY's sales. It was indeed very gratifying on the first day, but the sales performance dropped by 90% from the second day on.

This once again confirmed his idea. If domestic skin care products want to be famous, building brand power is not just an accidental explosion.

The Lin Group did not want to take this path from the very beginning. It still insisted on doing things steadily and slowly encroaching on the market.

"Xiaoyuan's suggestions are very good!"

"Taking advantage of this explosion, we can think of ways to expand traffic and steadily increase the traffic of the store. Next year will definitely be a fruitful year."

Gao Yuan naturally knows this truth.

He didn't grow up immediately, otherwise he wouldn't have cooperated with the Douyin platform to build a brand, let alone buy the naming rights of Jay Chou and Lao Xue for one year.

But he will not expand the market as steadily as Lin Hongnian. The two people started from different places and are completely incomparable.

even,

As long as Gao Yuan's next step goes smoothly, he will immediately start a network-wide grass planting plan.

Any platform that can reach the brand audience will invest a lot of money in product seeding and marketing.

Including several major live broadcast platforms, even if he sacrifices most of the profits, he will start the delivery mode.

Sell ​​the product first. As long as the user has his product in his home and the user is willing to use his product, it will be a success.

But in terms of breaking the price, he won't consider it for the time being.

Once the price is broken, it will be broken without a bottom line.

But how could Gao Yuan fight an unprepared battle?

All of this also depends on the Lin Group's guarantee of the supply of its products. If there is a problem with the supply chain, all the money spent in the past will really be wasted.

After chatting for a while, Gao Yuan also began to pave the way for his purpose of coming this time.

"Uncle Lin, how is the situation here at the Lin Group?"

Lin Hongnian didn't hide anything and directly showed Gao Yuan the sales report for the past week.

In this week, Lin's Group has doubled its performance in all sales channels with its new products, especially online channels. From the beginning of sales to now, the total sales have exceeded more than 20 million.

"Brother Yuan, this is all driven by your facial mask. If it were a full range of products, our growth would be even more gratifying."

Lin Hongnian did not criticize his son's interruption, but kept staring at Gao Yuan.

What Lin Sida said was exactly what he wanted to express, but a few days ago he proposed to Gao Yuan to produce a full range of products, but Gao Yuan rejected it.

This time he was really embarrassed to speak again, which also seemed like he was too eager.

But when he saw Gao Yuan nodding, his mind became active again.

"Xiaoyuan, what did you think about it?"

Lin Hongnian hesitated for a moment and then asked.

The interests involved were too great for him to ask shamelessly.
