Chapter 446: Chapter 204: Take Me Home Quick!

Sister really came through, bringing Su Huai to meet Jiang Fan that very night.

The moment he clearly saw the handsome young man, Jiang’s slight stupefaction was coupled with a hint of hostility.

Which made Gou Huai couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

However, as Zhang Dayi hooked her arm through Jiang Fan’s, she introduced him, "This is my newly-met little brother, the person in charge of Xingyu. Old Jiang, let me tell you, I absolutely adore the big internet celebrity Yuji they’ve trained! How can she be so beautiful and sexy?

You might not think it from looking at Su Huai, who’s only 19, but he’s super mature and really capable."

When Zhang Dayi laughed, it was full of vitality. She spoke a bit fast, but it wasn’t the noisy chatter of small talk. It was laced with a natural sincerity and enthusiasm, packed with energy.

Jiang Fan’s inner turbulence quickly soothed.

Su Huai couldn’t help but marvel, now understanding why someone as important as Prince Jiang had gotten past the emotional hurdle.

At his level, in a place like Hangzhou, he has seen plenty of top-quality people. One might struggle to find someone rating 98 points, but there’s definitely no shortage of those who score 95. Logically, it should be hard for him to falter.

But Zhang Dayi was different. Her entire state of being was quite special; she was infectious, the type to inspire others. Prince Jiang was actually quite picky, and this girl couldn’t be simply defined by her looks.

Jiang Fan smiled as he shook hands with Su Huai, "Wow, a young hero. When I was your age, I stammered when talking to strangers."

"And what would you say you are now?"

Su Huai used both hands energetically, showing ample respect, and with a smile he delivered a compliment, "A young leader, the future of Ali?"

Jiang Fan was taken aback, and then burst out laughing.

"Brother, I like you! How about coming to work for Taobao after you graduate?"

"Sure!"

Su Huai nodded with a grin, and to the surprise of both Jiang and Zhang, he replied, "I’ll work hard to grow Xingyu and wait to be acquired by Ali. After graduation, I’ll come and be your assistant.

I have an example right before my eyes, and I’ve thought through how to proceed in five years!"

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Fan laughed heartily, and Zhang Dayi also gave a thumbs up, "Brother, your mouth must be sweet with honey, huh? When it comes to chatting, you’re the best of anyone I know!"

Su Huai’s words were clever indeed.

Jiang Fan initially was an independent entrepreneur who founded Youmeng, and then in 2013, it was acquired by Ali for 80 million dollars, and he joined the work at Ali.

At this point, he hadn’t been playfully called Prince Ali yet, but he had already become an important figure for Zhang Yong, responsible for one of the three core strategies, "building a content ecosystem," a well-known rising star within the group.

Su Huai picked Jiang Fan’s proudest achievement to discuss, treating him as an idol and role model throughout their conversation, patting the back just right.

What was even more rare was this kind of spontaneous quick-wittedness, really out of the ordinary.

Jiang Fan, in a great mood, no longer saw Su Huai as a second-generation blindly starting a business relying on his family background. He grew more interested in the conversation and started to engage Su Huai in chat.

From big data specialties to Taobao’s content ecology, from the essence of internet celebrities to the future of traffic, the more they talked, the more surprising the outcome — no matter what they discussed, Su Huai was able to keep up with his train of thought, even occasionally providing insightful comments.

"Young brother, what does your family do?"

Eventually, he couldn’t resist asking.

Su Huai repeated the same story he had told Zhang Yaowen, "My father is a small worker at the Daqing Oilfield, my mother runs a small business, just an ordinary family."

Jiang Fan immediately guessed higher.

Could it be that his parents are the big bosses or deputy bosses of the Daqing Oilfield?

Anyone less than a bureau-level official certainly couldn’t raise a child like this!

He wasn’t particularly concerned with Su Huai’s background. Mr. Ma’s background was already second-tier domestically; Jiang Fan wasn’t afraid of anyone when it came to fighting with backgrounds.

However, if he could recruit a young man with both background and ability under his wing, it would definitely be of great help to his career.

So, he took the initiative to raise Su Huai’s hand.

"Little brother, work hard. The prospects for MCN are on the rise, and we at Taobao also need more content providers and content service providers. If you really make achievements, the conditions for acquisition can be negotiated."

The implied meaning was, when the time comes, I could help you get the best terms within my authority.

Su Huai wasn’t excited, but it was Zhang Dayi who got extremely thrilled.

She bluntly asked, "Old Jiang, do you think Xingyu’s model is better than our Ruhan?"

Su Huai had already talked about Xingyu’s main development strategy, and he didn’t much cover up the details.

Because the truly crucial thing was his understanding and foresight of the industry; the same strategy executed by him could yield a result of 100, while others trying to emulate poorly could only achieve at most a 10.

So Jiang Fan recognized the potential of Xingyu, and from a high perspective commented, "If it’s really well done, Xingyu’s prospects are far superior to yours.

Yes, the most critical point is positioning—

Xingyu’s self-positioning is very similar to ours at Taobao; both are service-oriented platforms.

Xingyu’s approach is not to compete for profits with internet celebrities. Yes, they leave the lion’s share of profits to those frontline internet celebrities, then they consolidate their influence to grow the pie, expand the boundaries, and go for incremental rather than existing market share.

In terms of ambition, it’s a genius idea. Currently, no MCN agencies are doing this because they don’t need to.

The situation now is that the existing market is enough, MCNs can live well by exploiting streamers and internet celebrities. Yes, that’s why the contracts are one harsher than the other.

And the content creators aren’t willing to turn against them because they don’t have better options.

But Xingyu’s appeal to mid-tier internet celebrities is extremely astonishing..."

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Dayi suddenly spoke up, interrupting. When in doubt, just ask, "Why focus on the mid-tier?"
