Zhang Yang picked up his tea and took a sip, then said, "Alright, let's summarize the opinions!
First, let's secure Zhang Xiaoming, even if we have to send some gifts or cater to his preferences, it's fine!
I think we should have old Zhao handle this. You'll need to make a trip to the Yingke Headquarters, deliver what's necessary and make arrangements. The sole purpose is to deal with him and ensure he doesn't cause us trouble!
Second, we need to adjust our live-streaming strategy, set up a filtering mechanism for loyal fans, and create WhatsApp groups or QQ chats by selecting suitable key members from the live room, bringing all active die-hard fans in!
Even if we end up clashing with the platform, we can still maintain contact with our fans! We want to turn public traffic into our private traffic!
Third, Liu Xingyun has already joined Kuaishou. I will find a way to connect with him and try to lay the groundwork on the Kuaishou side in advance, so once the time is right, we can directly enter!"
"Leave the trip to me. I really want to see what kind of player Zhang Xiaoming is and make sure to deal with him!" Zhao Bingguang nodded after listening.
"Boss, I think we can be a bit more extreme in attracting die-hard fans! How about spending some money?" Wang Yan suggested while picking his nose.
"Spend money? How would you spend it?"
"Two ideas: host offline events or recruit test anglers!
The competitive fishing with 'Brother Eight Hundred Pounds' last time had a pretty good response, and everyone in the live room talked about it eagerly.
Fisher friends who met offline once became more active in the live room, and I gave them management roles while doing a lot of the commentary!
I think we can continue this!
For example, the streaming team could go fishing and organize offline interactions with local anglers!
Also, we can recruit offline test anglers or product promoters and develop downstream!
My friend's wife is currently selling masks through social commerce and earns quite a bit monthly. I think we can learn from this model!
We don't need our promoters to front money or hoard inventory. No need to rip anyone off. We just allocate a small part of the profit for them to share, more work brings more earnings!
They can fish, make money, and also promote our brand and products, achieving multiple goals!"
Silence! Extreme silence!
After Wang Yan finished his proposal, the temporary meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Upon hearing Wang Yan's suggestions, Zhang Yang couldn't help but breathe heavily.
This guy always acts laid-back, but when it matters, his brain is quite effective. All his suggestions hit the mark.
Especially the proposal to develop product promoters by borrowing from the social commerce model—this was a stroke of genius, something even Zhang Yang hadn't thought of.
Considering the state of the fishing gear industry and the current scenario, if this proposal gets properly implemented, it could greatly benefit the company's development.
"Good! Wang Yan's proposal is excellent and very constructive!" Zhao Bingguang was the first to break the silence.
Zhang Yang also nodded: "Wang Yan, you suggested the promoter idea, so you'll be in charge. Fine-tune the details later and liaise with President Zhao!
As for offline interactions and developing the core fan group, Brother Zhou and Han Qiang, you two will be responsible!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Does this count as a promotion for me?"
"Yes, everyone here is like family, and as long as you have the ability, you don't need to stick to your current job—just take on bigger responsibilities!
You all know me and old Zhao; we never pretend to offer unrealistic promises. As long as someone can perform their duties and bring results to the company, they'll get corresponding rewards.
Those rewards aren't only salary but also can be commission, bonuses, or company shares!"
After Zhang Yang spoke these decisive words, the others at the table all had lively thoughts.
Initially, before Zhang Yang and old Zhao partnered to start the company, everyone knew each other through fishing, forming relatively equal friendships because of similar interests.
But over the past two years, the fishing gear company grew increasingly successful, turning everyone into Zhang Yang's subordinates.
Although Zhang Yang never treated anyone poorly, in terms of relationships, everyone's status became somewhat inferior to Zhang Yang, evident by the way they addressed him.
Previously, everyone called Zhang Yang by his name, but once joining the company and mixing together, the address changed to boss or more formally, President Zhang.
Now, Zhang Yang publicly expressed a willingness to give everyone more room for growth. Anyone dissatisfied with the status quo certainly has some thoughts.
This not only impacts salary earnings but also involves the individual's position in the team.
One could say today's impromptu meeting in the second-floor conference room was a milestone moment for Zhang Yang's team development.
After the account crisis, the team's structure became more streamlined, advancing towards a healthier direction.
Meeting opinions reached a consensus, next comes execution. Discussing execution, this group is really competent. Zhang Yang can basically take a backseat, only needing to steer direction at key points.
Once the meeting was over, it was time for a meal gathering. Resolving the pressing issues led the group to drink and dine enthusiastically at the dog meat restaurant until after 9 PM before feeling satisfied and leaving individually.
Everyone else left, but Meng Fan didn't rush to leave; this clever fellow patiently waited until the end but still didn't leave.
Zhang Yang drank quite a bit of beer, but his mind was still clear. After settling the bill and stepping out of the restaurant, seeing Meng Fan hadn't left, he pondered.
"What's up? Meng, got something on your mind?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
Feeling Zhang Yang's harmless glance, Meng Fan scratched his head, unusually shy and a bit embarrassed.
"What's up? Just say it, we spend all day together, do you still need to be reserved with me? Ah, the street's not convenient, come back to the shop with me, we'll talk slowly!" Zhang Yang said, looking into Meng Fan's eyes.
Meng Fan nodded and followed Zhang Yang back to the shop.
"Alright, speak up, what's it about?" Zhang Yang sat at the small tea table on the first floor, boiled water, and started to rinse the tea cups.
Meng Fan said, "Boss, during today's meeting, Brother Yan and the others found their directions for development. I wanted to chat with you about my future development!"
"Oh? So, what are you thinking?" Zhang Yang was somewhat surprised hearing Meng Fan.
After all, Zhang Yang is already quite young, and Meng Fan is even younger. Unlike others with ordinary backgrounds, Meng Fan's family is in politics and doesn't lack money.
Whether driving leaders or now streaming with Zhang Yang, salary and benefits have always seemed secondary and relaxed. He drives an Audi A4 to work, even more showy than Zhao Bingguang, the company manager.
It was unexpected that Meng Fan would also talk to Zhang Yang about his future development.
Meng Fan scratched his head again, accepting the teacup Zhang Yang handed him, and said:
"Brother Yan and the others found their career paths, yet I still haven't found my way!
I wonder what Brother Yang thinks about competitive fishing?
You know my situation; my family isn't short on money, my brother's in politics with my dad, so I have less pressure, and my parents respect my personal development choices!
I really enjoy fishing as a hobby, and turning it into a career wouldn't be a problem!
But streaming currently has a low ceiling for future development. I want to try to achieve a master rating or something similar; what do you think about this?"
"You want to pursue competitive fishing tournaments?" Zhang Yang's heart jumped again after hearing Meng Fan.
"Yes! That's the idea, and I've somewhat looked into it, but don't know much. Do you think it's possible?" Meng Fan nodded, exceptionally serious in expression.
If anyone else had this idea, Zhang Yang would likely say it wasn't feasible.
Competitive tournaments are tough, requiring lots of money with slim chances of success.
But because it's Meng Fan, Zhang Yang feels there's an opportunity.
Not mentioning the financial and age advantages, simply the cleverness Meng Fan shows in learning fishing is leagues ahead of ordinary anglers, making him a strong candidate for competitive fishing according to Zhang Yang's expertise!
