The elder: "His name is Ye Tian, the major shareholder of Baozhi Company, with a net worth of hundreds of billions. The investigation has just begun, and we don't know much about Baozhi Company and the person surnamed Ye."
The young man grunted, "Teacher, Gongfang Chen cannot fall ill. Cure him, and then have him come to see me."
The elder said, "Yes!"
The young man turned and left the hospital. As soon as he stepped out, a woman appeared behind him. The woman was about twenty years old, wearing a black tight-fitting leather suit, with short hair and a white mask. Her exposed eyes shot out a cold glint, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at her.
A car was parked on the main road below the hospital building. Eight black-clad bodyguards stood guard around the car, and even the hospital security guards dared not approach or say anything.
Getting into the car, the young man said, "Silver Scorpion, go and kill that Ye tonight. Although my Lang family lives in seclusion in Laoxian, we cannot be trampled upon."
The woman nodded slightly, "Yes! Young Master."
At this moment, Ye Tian was in a company meeting, listening to the executives' thoughts and suggestions on the company's development, which gave him much inspiration.
During the meeting, a young female executive caught his attention. This executive had long hair cascading over her shoulders, and her beauty was no less than Lin Ziyi's. Moreover, she was very capable, and her insights were eye-opening. She was only twenty-two years old, still interning with someone a year ago, and had already reached an executive position this year.
Ye Tian had seen her a few times before but hadn't interacted much. After listening to her speech this time, he was greatly impressed. The executive's name was Zhou Qin. At this moment, she was answering a question posed by Lin Ziyi about how to elevate Baozhi Company's brand power to a new height.
Zhou Qin glanced at her notes and said, "Chairman Ye, Chairman Lin, I have some humble suggestions that I hope will be helpful to the company's development."
She opened the PPT, which contained her carefully prepared content, and immediately shared her insights.
Ye Tian was listening intently when Ye Shaodong called. He asked Zhou Qin to continue and then went out to take the call.
On the other end of the phone, Ye Shaodong said with a smile, "Xiao Tian, where are you? Do you have time?"
Ye Tian replied, "Brother, I'm in a meeting. Is there anything?"
Ye Shaodong said, "Cousin Wenxing is here."
Ye Tian exclaimed, "Wenxing is here? Why didn't he tell me?"
Ye Shaodong chuckled, "He got into trouble and was afraid of our aunt's scolding, so he came here to hide."
Ye Tian shook his head, "Alright, brother, I'll talk about it when I get back. Prepare dinner."
"Okay, then hurry up."
Ye Tian didn't pay much attention to Jiang Wenxing's trouble and continued with the meeting.
After listening to Zhou Qin's plan, he whispered a few words to Lin Ziyi. Lin Ziyi nodded gently and said, "Zhou Qin is indeed a talent I personally promoted. Her ideas are excellent. Chairman Ye and I have decided to appoint Zhou Qin to establish the Brand Strategy Department and serve as its manager. In the next few years, the Strategy Department will be one of our company's most important departments. Zhou Qin, you must work hard!"
Zhou Qin stood up and said, "Thank you, Chairman Ye and Chairman Lin, for your trust. I, Zhou Qin, will definitely not disappoint you!"
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Zhou Qin just said that building a brand requires spending money. Manager Zhou, how much are you planning to spend annually?"
Zhou Qin replied, "Brand building is very important. For the same product quality, a high-end brand can sell for ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand. But a mid-to-low-end brand can only sell for a few hundred yuan at most. That's the difference. Therefore, I believe that brand building should involve an investment of at least thirty billion yuan annually."
The other executives were immediately in an uproar. Someone immediately said, "Manager Zhou, thirty billion? Are you joking? What is our company's revenue this year, and what is its profit? I admit that brand building is important, but we must be practical. Otherwise, if all the money goes to your Strategy Department, what will departments like ours have for research and development, and what will we have for channels?"
Zhou Qin was about to explain when Ye Tian smiled and said, "Dear managers, you can rest assured about the funds. Your departments will get every cent. However, we must strongly support the work of the Brand Strategy Department. But, Manager Zhou, thirty billion is indeed too much. How about this: for the first year, I will give you twenty billion. If you can achieve results, I will give you another thirty billion next year."
Zhou Qin was overjoyed. In fact, her target was fifteen billion, and thirty billion was just a bluff. But she never expected Chairman Ye and Chairman Lin to be so generous, allocating her twenty billion in the first year!
