Chapter 15 Chasing Success

Unlike the last time we met, when he was still a little haggard, Sun Daqi's face is undoubtedly much better today.

After the two chatted for a while, engineer Yang Qi, who occasionally chimed in, turned on his laptop, connected it to the Internet cable, opened the "Yellow Pages" interface, and clicked on the hyperlink to enter the company introduction.

Jin Shang took it and checked it several times with the mouse. He found nothing new. It was not much different from other advertising companies.

The Northern United Football Club page, in addition to the introduction and annual public information, only has the general manager's office telephone number and youth training camp enrollment brochure that may not be accessible.

In the company classification, it is labeled as "sports football". In this category, there is only Northern United.

It can be regarded as a little thought from Lao Sun, just go to the bank to deposit money and get a pot of oil as a gift, which is better than nothing.

The advertising page of Jinxi Culture is much richer, covering everything from the company's business scope, main business, business cooperation and personnel recruitment.

"Old Sun, please be careful."

Comparing it with the pages of other companies, you can clearly feel the big difference in the level of sophistication.

"Wherever we go, providing customers with satisfactory services is what we should do."

It was a normal business cooperation, and the feedback from Party A was good. Sun Daqi and Yang Qi could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In this emerging industry of the Internet, it is indeed not easy to find a high-quality customer.

Most of the young people who are really interested in and have some understanding of the illusory online world are either enjoying their youth in school or hanging out at the grassroots level of various units and enterprises, with almost no right to speak.

There are too few second-generation "country beggars" like Jin Shang who have their parents set up a company to practice martial arts at such a young age.

What's even more rare is that Jin Shang is a special case with a "prodigal" attitude and a very unique attitude. At least for now, the Caotai team will not collapse for a while.

Next, Jin Shang took advantage of the situation and opened the official website of the club and the official website of the cultural company.

Unlike the secondary pages mounted under the "Yellow Pages", the official website of your own is obviously much more complicated.

Today's browsers are still quite primitive and can only write some simple page information for the time being. You can imagine how shabby they are.

In Jin Shang's eyes, it is a text forum divided into several large sections.

Going down the homepage of the football club, the most eye-catching sections are "Latest News", "Schedule and Results", "Standing List", "Related Policies", "Interactive Messages", "Other Sports", "Local Events", etc.

The remaining corners that fill in the blanks are nothing interesting to look at.

Generally speaking, the amount of information is quite rich and the updates are relatively timely.

The main business of Jinxi Culture is similar, that is, the amount of information is larger and the scope is wider.

Limited by the technical level of software and hardware, no matter how good the idea is, it has to rot in the stomach first.

"Let's just do it this way. First solve the problem of whether it exists or not, and then solve the problem of whether it is good or not."

After setting the tone for this negotiation, Jin Shang said to Sun Daqi,

"Have you met Huang Yiyi from our company? If you need anything in the future, I will ask her to contact your company."

"In this case, I don't know about the subsequent payment..."

"The 60% commission will be paid before the end of next week. After three months of agency service, another 20% will be paid, and the remaining balance will be settled before the accounts are settled at the end of the year."

"Xiao Jin is so cheerful! If everyone kept their promises like your company, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

"Small companies, if they don't care about credibility, no one will play with me in the future."

The joking Jin Shang responded half-truthfully.

Seeing that the Internet cafe business is making a lot of money, I have a lot of money, and I don't have to pay the money that I have to pay sooner or later.

After settling the matter temporarily, Jin Shang skillfully logged into the administrator account, entered the backend, and edited an alert.

"Spend millions to help upgrade!"

"According to a well-informed source who wishes to remain anonymous: Jin Shang, the son of the club owner, arrogantly said that he would spend huge sums of money to bring in strong reinforcements and promised to return the team to where it should be within three years."

After checking it and finding no typos, click send.

Half a minute later, some lucky fan who was surfing the Internet saw the news and couldn't help shouting excitedly, attracting a group of people around to watch.

Sun Daqi, who watched Jin Shang's actions from beginning to end, looked at the noisy online communication area not far away, and then looked back at Mr. Jin who was looking at ease.

"I finally understand what timeliness means. Even if it is published in today's evening paper, it may not have such a big momentum."

"When you are in a group, you must pay special attention to the emotional value. Competitive sports is a field that requires passion and venting. The football club itself is not worth a few dollars. The real value lies in these surprised fans."

What Jin Shang did not say is that there is another field where the enthusiasm and persistence are even worse than competitive sports, and that is the entertainment industry, which has also just embarked on the fast track of development.

In terms of attracting attention, the influence of popular celebrities in their adult years is far beyond that of the relatively closed football circle.

Nowadays, at least football players have a relatively respectable career, while entertainment stars are still suffering from the dual public opinion of business and art.

…

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the game ended. The Beijing Northern United Football Team ushered in a hearty victory. The score of 4 to 0 was enough to satisfy the excited home fans.

Sun Daqi left due to urgent matters just after the second half. Li Xuan was preparing for her final graduation defense. Jin Shangze, stranded He Laoxi and other die-hard fans watched the players go around the field to express their thanks.

After bursts of cheers, the players and coaches went to prepare for the post-match press conference. He Laoxi, who had cheered for most of the game, took Jin Shang's hand and asked:

"Some people say that you want to invest money to recruit people, is that true?"

"When others ask, I'm sure I'm too lazy to answer. If you want to know, I'll tell you everything."

He pulled the old man close and whispered,

"Money must be invested, but it's hard to say how much. You have to be considerate of the team. In a third-level club, good players may not be willing to join. Those who are willing to join are all white-eyed wolves who come here for money. Are you willing?"

"What I said... is much more comfortable than Lao Jin. He talked about signings every year, but in the end only his own children were the ones to take the lead. There was only thunder but no rain, and the land was barren."

He Laoxi is not an unreasonable person. In competitive football, money is very important, and the quality of the platform must also be considered. A strong player who has lowered his worth to come to Beijing and Northern United may be in trouble.

"Anyway, it's a pleasure to win today. Your son's suona is also pretty good, has he suddenly become enlightened?"

"It's not that I'm enlightened, it's that the precious suona in my hand is so powerful."

"What kind of modesty is this? It's inexplicable."

He was obviously telling the truth, but no one believed him, and Jin Shang didn't bother to explain too much.

"By the way, what you said last time about writing lyrics for "General's Order" was not followed up?"

"Didn't I come to you for this matter today? Without the golden suona, He Laoxi always feels a bit lost. When do you have time, can you find some familiar drums, pipa, flutes, etc. to accompany you?"

"When? Right now, young man, you have to do things vigorously and resolutely. Why delay? Just wait..."

As he spoke, He Laoxi hurriedly asked a few of the fans who were better at playing musical instruments to stay and prepare to follow Jin Shang to audition together.

After all, Jin Shang asked them to take it easy. After having dinner together, they found a reliable recording studio nearby through Nan Dabiao's relationship.

When we arrived, it was already past seven o'clock and the sky was getting dark. Jin Shang, who was only followed by Huang Yiyi, was also a little worried about whether the few old men who had consumed a lot of energy in the stadium stands could continue successfully.

Fortunately, after Jin Shang came up with the lyrics and music of "Men Should Strengthen Theirself" and played it a few times, everyone became interested and didn't feel it was hard.

Nan Dabiao, who arrived later, greeted the owner of the recording studio and pulled Jin Shang aside.

"Xiao Shang, do you want to find a master arranger? I think the quality of this song "Men Should Be Strong" is not low. Although the song cannot break away from the stereotype of "General Order", the lyrics are indeed first-class. If you work it well, it will become popular.

"

"I know, Uncle Da Biao! Today is not the right time. It's too urgent. Let He Laoxi and others get familiar with it first, record a demo, register the copyright, and then consider the follow-up."

As Jin Shang spoke, he looked at several old men who were practicing enthusiastically.

"This is a fan cheering chorus that is bound to the club. If it becomes popular, it will be of great benefit to me."

"That's fine. If you need anything, please contact us in time. By the way, I sent three different scripts to your company yesterday. Have you received them?"

"It should still be in Uncle Zheng's hands, wait until I go back and ask."

There are not many things going on nowadays, but there are also few people in the company. Generally speaking, everyone is still very busy.

After exchanging pleasantries with Nan Dabiao, Jin Shang declined the request to go out for a drink.

"Uncle Da Biao, I'm leading a group of elderly men here to mess around. If something goes wrong and it's hard to explain, forget it today and wait for another day. If you have time, call Uncle Zheng and let's talk together."

"OK."

Nan Dabiao stepped forward and said hello to everyone he knew or didn't know, paid the bill for Jin Shang, and left.

Next, Jin Shang asked Huang Yiyi to buy some drinks and snacks nearby, and then walked into the recording studio.

"He Laoxi, how are you?"

"The arrangement is okay, but the lyrics are too plain. Overall, it's just okay."

The unkind comment made an old man with a mustache and a bald head who was playing the flute mercilessly expose the shortcomings:

"Who just said that this word is catchy, easy to learn and sing, and is suitable for everyone to cheer together?"

"Shut up, play the flute well, and stop meddling in other people's business."

The embarrassed He Laoxi put the crumpled lyrics and music on the desk, turned to Jin Shang and said,
