Chapter 441: Chapter 202 - Getting Ready for the Wild_2

A line: "If you can do it, we can do it too, and even if you can’t, we can still manage! Su Changgong’s special permission, graced kindness, giving you the chance to hitch a ride—don’t be ungrateful!"

They ground on until 3:50 PM when the initial draft of the contract was finally settled.

Let’s skip over the unimportant terms. What really gave Xingyu a big advantage was—

L’Oréal would be responsible for organizing and selecting offline sales, all expenses and salaries incurred during this period would still be covered by L’Oréal.

After the training, the BAs would tentatively sign with Xingyu.

In the end, Xingyu would choose some of the BAs based on the effectiveness of the training, sign them to their own company, and make them full-time sales hosts.

At this point, BAs would cancel their contract with L’Oréal and become employees of Xingyu.

Laying the golden eggs was something Su Huai played well.

Another outrageous condition was—

Once BAs turn into hosts, they would no longer be limited to selling only L’Oréal products, but would switch according to Xingyu’s sales targets as needed.

In other words, if L’Oréal irked Su Huai, then Li Jiaqi and others could fail to mention L’Oréal at all, turning their attention to selling competitors’ products instead.

Who will be flattering whom in the future, is that clear now?

Of course, Su Huai also threw out a couple of bones.

Such as the strategic partnership clause—

L’Oréal will become a strategic partner with Xingyu, offering the maximum discount and highest level of cooperation for their live-streaming sales activities, while Xingyu, in return, will actively maintain L’Oréal’s brand image, creating all kinds of conveniences for L’Oréal.

Outrageous, isn’t it?

But there’s just no matching Huai’s gift of gab.

"Gentlemen, please open your minds!

How many users can you attract by holding only L’Oréal special events, selling just their products every day?

Does it make sense to keep circulating within your fixed fan base?

On the contrary, if we do a beauty category special, starting with domestic low-priced lipsticks to warm up the crowd, showcase Estée Lauder and other competitors’ products in the middle, and finish with YSL as the climax, we can attract more than ten times the users!

This includes loyal fans of all the major brands!

So, what happens next if the host subtly favors YSL in promotion and pricing?

I won’t let my partners suffer, asking me exactly how I would do it would be impolite..."

The executives became so excited they started thumping their thighs.

Right!

Crafting contrast, emphasizing the key points, controlling the products and the scene, isn’t that exactly a host’s duty?!

With this approach, won’t Xiaoya and Xiaojie soon crumble under us?

The vice president, all smiles, gently clapped his hands: "So Mr. Su had a complete plan well in advance, it’s our thinking that was too narrow. Clearly, internet matters still require professionals..."

Su Huai returned the compliment with a smile that left several young ladies spellbound by his unflappable demeanor.

Lawyers can deal with the remaining details of the initial draft.

Once Su Huai signed the letter of intent, the task was completed perfectly.

Next up was securing a slot with Taobao.

Si Bohan’s dinner invitation had been cleverly avoided—before signing the contract, President Si asked for special care, but once inked... Old Si, you play by yourself for a while, I’m busy here!

Still, Si Bohan’s attitude remained polite—without any conflict of interest, only an idiot would offend Gu Tongshu’s junior.

"Mr. Su, there’s still plenty of time, no rush, just take it slow with Taobao..."

Su Huai was eager to wrap things up and didn’t catch Si Bohan’s hint.

Then in Hangzhou, following normal protocols, he tried to meet with the manager of the live-streaming department, only to be bewildered by the big boss Ali.

"Sir, who exactly are you trying to meet?"

The receptionist, charmed by Su Huai’s good looks, was particularly nice and accommodating to him.

But Su Huai was looking for Yu Feng, sorry no can do.

"I’m sorry, sir, without President Yu’s appointment, I cannot let you go up."

Su Huai was puzzled. L’Oréal had told him that Yu Feng was currently in charge of this area. After reporting his purpose as usual, the least he expected was for someone to come down and talk, but why couldn’t he even get through the door?

With patience, Su Huai said, "I have a collaboration proposal concerning live-streaming. Miss, could you please tell me whom I should look for?"

"I could ask Director Gu for you... I’m sorry, Director Gu doesn’t have time..."

Getting through Ali’s doors turned out to be much harder than Su Huai had anticipated.

Moreover, he didn’t understand the specific situation of Taobao’s live broadcast department at this time.

The receptionist, Xiaomei, was cute and looked a bit obsessed with faces, so he decided to just show off his good looks and started flirting.

"Who’s in charge of your company’s live broadcast department now, anyway? Could you help me sort it out? I’ll treat you to milk tea after work."

"No need for the milk tea."

Xiaomei kept a straight face as if she were just servicing a customer, but her eyes roamed over Gou Huai’s face, too shy to keep staring yet reluctant to look away.

"But the thing you want to know, I can try asking a friend for you."

Being handsome really is damn effective.

Xiaomei booted up her computer and started to inquire through Ali’s internal software.

With nothing better to do, Su Huai teasingly nudged her: "Yo, you got connections up top?"

When someone else says that kind of thing, they’re called a ruffian, but when Su Huai says it, it’s just a playful pupper showing some cheek.

"I’m just a receptionist, where would I know any big shots? Huh? Wait, are you making fun of me? I’m not asking for you anymore!"

"No, no, no, sister, I’m totally relying on you now..."

Looking pitiful, Su Huai put his hands together begging for mercy, and Xiaomei whispered a disdainful "shameless," "I’m only 24 years old, and you’re calling me sister?"

"What a coincidence, huh? I’m 19!"

Xiaomei’s eyes lit up, and she quickly changed her tune: "Then let’s hear you say it a couple more times!"

With a few "sister" calls, Su Huai managed to cheer her up and finally learned what was going on with Taobao’s live broadcast at the moment.

To be specific, even internal employees at Taobao couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

To put it simply, Ali currently had three core strategies: content-oriented, community-oriented, and local life-oriented. These were proposed by Xiao Yaozi Zhang Yong and strongly supported by Jack Ma.

Then nobody knew what to do with this content-orientation for the time being, resulting in many attempts, one of which was the Taobao live broadcast, but it was quite a niche.

Xiaomei told Su Huai, "You definitely can’t just go directly to President Yu. He’s now the general manager of the entire content e-commerce division, and Director Gu, who’s specifically in charge of the live broadcast department, has other work too. Maybe you could try to set up a meeting with the deputy manager, Guanghua?

But my friend said, if the cooperation matter is significant, it might have to go up to Mr. Jiang’s level to get approved..."

I’m dizzy, just to start a live broadcast room and want some traffic support, and I still have to find Prince Jiang?

You guys are full of yourselves!

Su Huai sighed and tried to dial Guanghua’s office phone, but the guy was out on inspection, and the assistant told him to call back on Monday.

Hey, I had heard about Ali’s temper, and today I finally experienced it first-hand!

But in the end, he made contact with the live broadcast department.

Later, someone called Chu Dong with the title of "Head of Taobao Live Broadcast Operations" came down to "meet" him after hearing that Su Huai was an important partner of L’Oréal.

In the following years, the person in charge of Taobao live broadcast operations was Zhao Yang, known as the man behind Viya and Li Jiaqi, but this wasn’t him.

Their conversation hadn’t gone on long before Chu Dong put Su Huai in his place.

"We need to have a meeting to discuss your issue, you can go back and wait for news."

Su Huai was shocked: This is just absurd!

Who the hell do you think you are?

Your whole Taobao live broadcast team combined doesn’t even match the size of one department in my company...

But it was useless, they just didn’t have the time for Mr. Su.

Just one look at his young face and they didn’t take him seriously.

Su Huai saw it was almost noon, so he let go of his impatience and actually took Xiaomei out for milk tea and lunch.

They had a rather good time chatting.

Xiaomei seemed to be treating him as one of her own, advising, "You should come back on Monday. Although the live broadcast department says it’s a normal workday, the people who come in aren’t really... that into it. Besides, we Ali are just... well, you might as well talk to the beauty product agents."

Su Huai’s eyes sparkled: "I can get things coordinated through an agent?"

Xiaomei looked around sneakily, then leaned in close and whispered, "Slip the agent some money, and he’ll help you set up a meeting with Manager Chu, have a private gathering, and by Monday, it’ll be easier to get things done... Kid, you’re just too green!"

Even though she looked adorable saying that, Su Huai still couldn’t help but be amused.

Even Director Gu has to put up with me despite his dislike, do you bunch of nobodies really think you can get one over on me?

Alright, alright, alright, you like to play, huh?

Come on, let me show you how to play wild!
