Chapter 460: Real… Magical!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He Meng’s expression became a little strange, but Wang Yan didn’t think too much about it.
Since he was here, he would just take things as they were.
Back then, he was afraid of everyone, but now, who was he afraid of?
Gu Jiashu finished his arrangement and finally began the banquet.
The first glass of wine was raised together.
“Today, we have one theme — eat well, drink well, play well, and Long live friendship!”
“Oh, oh, oh, cheers!”
It had been a long time since they last met. Everyone was very enthusiastic and the atmosphere was very good.
A total of 33 people came, and there were 11 people sitting at each table. The three tables that were arranged in a zigzag pattern were not far away, and the sound waves were boiling.
The people sitting at the main table were the most prominent figures in the class, the class monitor, the nouveau riche, the big beauty, the top student…
Actually, everyone was not originally friends in the same circle, but now, no one would refuse to talk to the nouveau riche.
The children of Gu Jiao had been living in the real world since they were young. When they went to school, their horizons would be broadened, and they would become more realistic.
Gu Jiashu, Wang Yan, and He Meng were well-deserved focal points.
“Datou, How’s your school?”
“I’m not familiar with it!”
“Oh my God! Skipping classes and playing games every day?”
“What else can I do? I can’t even spend money in this godforsaken place…”
…
Gu Jiashu’s speech did not have much value. He was full of arrogance and flamboyance. He was always eating, drinking, and having fun.
Not long after, everyone felt bored and took the initiative to change the topic to Wang Yan.
“Brother Fu Guige, How’s your guild?”
Guild?
He Meng was a little puzzled. She was even more curious about Wang Yan’s change and could not help but perk up her ears.
However, Wang Yan kept his words to himself and only gave a perfunctory reply, “It’s pretty good.”
Half of the people at the table roughly knew what was going on, while the other half did not know anything at all. Their curiosity was immediately raised to the highest level.
They were all first-year students. Compared to eating, drinking, and having fun, of course, the real world outside was more attractive.
If they were to bring up the topic of starting a business, it would simply be impossible to resist.
“Hey, just tell us about it!”
“That’s right, help us broaden our horizons!”
“Qiu Li, are you working part-time for Wang Yan? I’ve seen you post your bonus before.”
“Right now, Fu Guige is the number one person in the live broadcast industry. There wasn’t a senior netizen watching the live broadcast who doesn’t know about it!”
“Fu Guige?”
“Haha, it’s Wang Fugui! I don’t know what Wang Yan is thinking, but the ID is d*mn down-to-earth!”
“It’s so auspicious!”
“Pfft! I feel like I’m watching ‘Country Love Story’…”
“Our Fu Guige is so handsome, who should he play?”
“Xu Wenqiang!”
“Oh my God, Sister, you’re on stage…”
“What! Don’t you guys feel that Wang Yan has the aura of a big brother now?”
“That’s right!”
“Where’s the toothpick? Come, put the toothpick in his mouth and light up a cigarette for your big brother!”
When everyone started stirring up, it was impossible to stop. The feeling of having so many stars supporting the moon was indeed very intoxicating to Wang Yan, but now it was too chaotic and too noisy.
Wang Yan could only raise his hand in surrender. “Can we have a good chat? If you all want to ask anything, just ask. I’ll pick the questions that I can answer.”
Zheng Hong’s eyes instantly lit up and he was the first to raise his hand.
“Chief Wang, how much money can your company earn in a month?”
Eh?
You’re a professional support…
Once the answer was given, wouldn’t you all call me daddy on the spot?
However, Brother Doggie, I was so low-key, steady, and insightful. I was elegant, decent, and love to learn. How could I reveal trade secrets just to be pretentious?!
Sure enough, he shook his head. “I can’t tell.”
Everyone felt a little regretful, but they didn’t force it.
Xiao Kai, who loved watching live broadcasts, immediately followed. “Then how many streamers does your guild have now?”
“Up until now, it’s around 200.”
Wangting Yule had never stopped recruiting streamers. They only had relatively strict requirements. They were either very good-looking or very unique.
“Wow…”
Everyone exclaimed.
Even though they did not understand the exact meaning, if they compared it to a company with 200 employees, they could understand that it was not a small business.
“Is management difficult? How did you learn to manage a start-up?”
Brainiac Chen Pi asked a quality question, and everyone immediately became curious.
“That’s right, that’s right. Wang Yan, do you have any suggestions for us? Anything related to learning, entrepreneurship, and employment will do!”
Everyone extended two more questions, which became more and more complicated.
Hearing the main table talk about such a hot topic, the two tables at the side also quieted down, looking at Wang Yan with anticipation.
The young master pondered for a moment, organized his words, and slowly opened his mouth.
“Starting a business is a system project. It’s too complicated to talk about. I’ll just briefly talk about management and targeted learning.”
“Okay!”
Gu Jiashu suddenly slammed the table and raised his arms in a strange manner, shouting, “Come, everyone clap!”
This fellow, if there was a chance to grill Wang Yan on the fire, he would definitely not let it go.
But the sand sculptures were always the same. When they should not be heckling, they had to perform.
“Thank you, Chief Wang, for your teachings!”
Without Wang Yan’s help, Yu Qiuli glared at him. “Shut up!”
She stopped.
But this time, her original intention of answering the question had also changed.
Wang Yan frowned slightly and changed his words at the last minute.
“Actually, there are two kinds of management. One is to manage people, and the other is to manage things. Our class monitor is very good at managing people. If you’re not sure, you should learn from her.”
Yu Qiuli narrowed her eyes and smiled until the corners of her mouth reached her cheeks. It was a big smile.
Good impression + 2, Loyalty-1.
Earned a little more…
Wang Yan ignored Gu Jiashu, whose face had turned dark green, and continued in a gentle voice.
“Of course, for a start-up, the ability to manage people is more important. Everyone can simply be equivalent to managing a project.
The essence of starting a business is very simple — you have an idea, and you monetize it.
You can either make money directly, or you can make a name for yourself or the market, and then you can find ways to make money.
In the early stages of a business, the ability to manage is the least important ability. If you can take the lead in doing things well and make money or a name for yourself, then it will be natural for you to go from three to five people to thirty to fifty people.
In this process, through constantly solving problems, soon you can develop the ability.
So when Chen Pi asked me how I learned management, I was caught in between. Business management is famous for being unemployed after graduation. It looks high and mighty, but not wanted anywhere. It’s very clear.
Understand?
People should not study management, more so on how to start a business. They are not the abilities to learn from books.
So my suggestion is very simple — pick something that you are interested in and learn as much as you can.
When you really learn enough, you will naturally realize where the opportunity is.
Chen Pi, I remember that you especially like black rap, right?”
Chen Pi nodded and was a little confused.
Wang Yan smiled and said, “I suddenly remembered something. Our guild has a live streamer who is crazy about a newly launched thingy called coconut shoes. It’s a brand that the black rapper Kanye is collaborating with Adi. It’s said to be very difficult to buy…”
Chen Pi’s eyes suddenly lit up. “I know! I like Kanye very much. Moreover, I have a pair of coconut 350. My aunt brought it back for me in America!”
“Look, if you have both the channels and the funds, this is an opportunity.”
Young Master Wang easily made Chen Pi go crazy.
“That’s right! It’s said that white zebra coconuts abroad are hard to get a single shoe now, and it hasn’t become popular in China yet… F*ck! Wang Yan, you’re really a freaking genius!”
The entire room was filled with uncomprehending gazes.
Everyone had never heard of any coconuts, but judging from Chen Pi’s reaction, it seemed like a money-making idea?
Looking at Wang Yan, who was very calm and composed, they suddenly felt like they were looking up a high mountain.
So you’re not just selling your mouth, you really had something?!
Thinking back carefully on the short discussion just now, he felt that every word was brilliant and inspiring, and it felt like he couldn’t help but let loose a thousand miles of pleasure…
Alright, I couldn’t brag anymore. It’s you guys’ turns!
The students went up to him and bragged until Wang Yan’s head was big and his neck was thick.
“Wow, no wonder you can start up and become a boss. Your horizons are too broad!”
“Fu Guige is awesome and mighty!”
“Chief Wang, What do you think I should do? I like Japanese female celebrities the most and I know them very well!”
A facelift… Oh, no, it was to promote the harmonious development between China and Japan and contribute to the special tourism industry…
Just do it. In the future, I might have a business to contact you!
“I like reading online novels. Do I become a writer?”
No, please!
You wouldn’t be able to afford the bread!
Even if you were lucky enough to have a mouthful of bread to eat, you had to guard against it at all times. It was very uncomfortable.
“Wang Yan, I’m also studying in Shanghai. is your company still lacking part-time jobs? I can do anything Qiu Li can do…”
Wang Yan turned around and saw that the chubby girl had squeezed out three layers of flesh on her chin. Her smile was so shy that her eyes could not be seen. Instantly, he shivered.
If you sat down, any normal man would die. Stop fooling around!
Amidst the uproar, He Meng was unusually quiet.
She smiled reservedly and occasionally glanced at Wang Yan.
There was no worship in her eyes, only curiosity. From time to time, she would look at the fruit plate on the table as if she was deep in thought.
Watermelon Taro?
Watermelon Prince?
Watermelon Tycoon?
How did the tanned and thin youth who sold watermelon under the Sun become like this?
Real… magical!
