Chapter 430: Chapter 199 Suffocated by Dreams

At the school gate, everyone said their goodbyes to each other.

Su Huai, however, asked the driver to wait for a moment, then hurried back to his dorm to pack his stuff and headed straight to Changqing Building.

Today was Thursday, and the best plan would be to pay a business visit to Si Bohan at L’Oréal tomorrow, and then arrange to meet him alone on Saturday for a chat.

If it were delayed until next week, by the time November came, the guild’s existing manpower would all be focused on Gou Star’s annual gala, and it might be too late to discuss a specific plan with L’Oréal.

Su Huai faintly remembered that the BA competition held by Meiwrist had been organized before the end of 2016; time was pressing indeed.

Arriving at the company, Cheese was already waiting at the 6th-floor elevator entrance.

"Let’s go, let’s talk in the temporary office area."

Su Huai waved his hand, cutting off the other person’s attempts to ingratiate himself, and strode towards the reception area, which was starting to take shape.

Once seated, he began issuing orders directly, "Prepare the following materials for me—a photocopy of the company’s business documents, an overview of the financial conditions, a summary of the operational situation, development plans, an overview of the management team, existing blogger and promotion plans, live streamer positioning, and ratings..."

Cheese was totally bewildered, unable to remember, simply couldn’t memorize it!

But he was quick-witted and immediately opened his notebook: "Assistant Su, we’re currently lacking quite a few things; could you make a list for me? I’ll do my best to find them, and if it’s not enough, we’ll figure something out."

Su Huai was not trying to make things difficult for him but was focused on getting things done, so he sat down and typed out a document.

And he explained briefly, "I’m going to meet with the CEO of L’Oréal Asia Pacific. The information above is for demonstrating our company’s strength. The other party may not necessarily read it carefully, but we need to show the right attitude; let’s prepare to the best of our ability."

"Damn!"

Cheese’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but flatter, "Assistant Su is awesome! If you can land a big fish like the CEO of L’Oréal, your networking skills are simply unmatched! We’ve got this in the bag, haven’t we?"

Who knew if this guy had learned from Pei Shuyu, but he was now very adept at giving encouragement, and he also didn’t slack off when it came to serious matters.

Su Huai shook his head with a smile, "Don’t start popping the champagne just yet, we haven’t succeeded... Meiwrist is more difficult to handle than you might imagine."

Cheese was stunned, "If you’ve secured a meeting with the CEO of L’Oréal, how can that little company resist?"

"It’s true that Meiwrist is not big, even far smaller than ours, but..."

Su Huai finally shared with Cheese a bit of the hard truth, which he had previously refrained from mentioning for fear of dampening his spirit.

"...in L’Oréal’s strategy, Meiwrist is a link that’s hard to bypass, possessing unique resource advantages. You didn’t discover it, did you? Meiwrist’s investors have a connection with Ali."

"Damn, no wonder!"

Cheese immediately understood and slapped his thigh hard.

"I was wondering why L’Oréal wasn’t that enthusiastic about us. So that’s what it was... What do we do then?"

Su Huai spread his hands, "First we’ll strive to gain L’Oréal’s favor, then we’ll deal with Taobao’s newly established live broadcast department. If we can take down both, won’t that solve the issue?"

"That’s bold!"

Cheese gave a thumbs-up, without doubting for a moment that Su Huai was bragging.

If Su Huai could get an appointment with the big boss of L’Oréal, then taking down the head of Taobao’s live broadcast department shouldn’t be a big issue, right?

He might think it sounded easy, but in reality... neither task was.

Otherwise, Su Huai would not have been so cautious, coming over to make comprehensive preparations.

"L’Oréal is planning a BA influencer project with a focus on the Taobao live platform. Besides that platform, there is no other that can currently convert fans into buying power. So to persuade L’Oréal to partner with us, we must demonstrate a significant and unique advantage.

Go and prepare the materials, I’ll think about how to draft the presentation."

Cheese quickly got to work, while Su Huai personally drafted the document and also prepared to make it into a PPT.

Later on, it became popular online to mock Jia Xiaozhou as a "PPT War God," but to be strict about it, there’s nothing wrong with PPT itself—it’s a very direct and important means of introducing a company and promoting ideas to business partners or investors.

Becoming adept at bluffing with PPT is a skill, not a fault.

However, if there’s only PPT without execution, then the company definitely won’t go far.

In the end, it’s just dragging investors down with you.

Su Huai didn’t have much experience with PPTs in his past life, but after his intelligence had risen, he found anything he did came naturally to him.

"For Xingyu Guild itself, we need to highlight that it’s a startup with rich industry experience."

Su Huai directed Cheese to gather content while pulling up charts.

"Why do we need to emphasize that it’s a startup?"

Cheese, taking the role of the straight man perfectly, did not hesitate to inquire.

Su Huai explained, "If a company is very small, then being a startup is a weakness, and you need to find ways to avoid this when promoting it. But Xingyu is already big enough now, with a registered capital of 100 million, an office space of 5400 square meters, rent of 50 million, cash flow of 138 million... Huh? There’s quite a lot of money in the account recently."

Cheese nodded, "Yes, Yuyu’s earnings have been settled with the platform, and it’s just sitting in the account; I’m doing the tax declaration for her now."

"Don’t get clever with taxes."

Su Huai briefly reminded him and then continued the previous topic.

"A startup that has clarified its track and made large investments can greatly boost the confidence of potential partners, because startups often mean passion, strong resolve, vitality, rapid development, and major investment indicates the determination and confidence of shareholders and the management team. So, we have to showcase our positioning and philosophy right from the beginning..."

Clickety-clack, Su Huai typed a line of text as the title for the entire PPT—

Xingyu: Committed to rewriting the industry ecosystem as a disruptor.

As he matched images with text... Ahem, as he described the vision.

"We can’t just throw out slogans; we need to follow up immediately with vision and strategy. Vision refers to the specific shape the industry will take once we achieve our goals, whereas strategy is about the rough steps we need to take to reach that outcome."
