Chapter 376: Chapter 175: Master of Time Management_2
And what was Gu Jiuyue’s innate talent?
Nuwa’s Favorite + Voice of Nature + Fast Learner + Top-tier looks + Super high IQ, coupled with a hidden artistic sensitivity, she actually resembled a natural-born sprite, who, if healthy from childhood, had the potential to become a master-level musician or artist.
If there weren’t any family background disparities, Su Huai felt, Chen Nuanhan seemed more suited to be an investor, with just her Unscientific Sixth Sense alone ensuring an unbeatable position.
"Tsk tsk tsk, life, really damned fascinating..."
Having analyzed the two girls, Su Huai couldn’t help but be struck with many reflections, and casually compared them with Pei Shuyu as well.
Though his daughter quality fell short of Chen Nuanhan and her family and background were incomparably lacking, she started from scratch and amassed a fortune of several hundred million in her thirties, which was also reasonable.
The external core element was the surge of the era.
The internal core lay in Pei Shuyu’s unique personality—Perseverance. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
[Once she set her goals, no matter the setbacks she faced, she would regroup and charge again]
This was the reason why Pei Shuyu’s achievements towered far above Chen Nuanhan’s.
The era determines the height, personality dictates destiny, talent comes after effort and personality, this is generally correct.
Only by truly understanding this framework, correctly perceiving the world and oneself, can one steadily march towards success.
Looking neither up at the sky nor down at the road, simply placing hope in effort is actually quite foolish.
Of course, making an effort is definitely better than not making any, unintelligent people can only work hard, laying back and giving up is an even worse choice, this is also true.
That night, Su Huai thought a lot.
While gaining a better understanding of the three suitable targets, he also saw his future path more clearly.
Primarily, he no longer resisted engaging in MCN and living off of traffic.
The surge of the era was rushing forth, and embracing traffic was the best choice for many years to come, there was no need to impose limits on himself.
The major of Big Data itself was meant to live off of traffic, without sufficient data flow there would be nothing to analyze.
Having realized this, Su Huai began to get to work.
Leveraging his newly acquired time management skill, he listed tasks for different timelines.
The long-term tasks had three items, respectively—
One, find exceptionally potential hosts and bloggers.
Two, find special employees who could play the role of wealthy patrons well.
Three, establish a surveillance system for all live streaming platforms on the web.
All three tasks would continue for over three years, at least until after 2020, when he would adjust and transform them according to strategy.
There were three medium-term tasks, respectively—
Start up an investment company from scratch.
Establish a certain level of cooperation with Taobao, begin exploring the supply chain.
Take care of Gou Star platform.
These three matters were actually harder than the long-term tasks; that investment company wasn’t just a shell, it was to accommodate those employees playing the role of wealthy patrons and would gradually take on the integration function of the group’s platform, establishing and holding a controlling interest in many subsidiaries.
The supply chain was even more troublesome, it required a trustworthy person to stand guard in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and explore from scratch.
Fortunately, for now, all that was needed was understanding, not necessarily to build his own, otherwise Su Huai wouldn’t even know where to start.
Taking care of Gou Star platform was relatively the easiest among the medium-term objectives, with a very clear path; just proceed step by step.
Short-term tasks... too many to count.
On a school level, organize a campus singing contest, a sports meeting, participate in the Capital Student Union Alliance, sort out the business center, etc.
On a task level, appease three girls.
On a learning level, focus on financial operations as the key target, and continue to dive deeper into mathematics, statistics, and probability.
Entertainment... not much of that left, just play with the fool when nothing’s going on.
The rest of the time was all dedicated to work; Su Huai decided to give his all for his great goal.
Before establishing Xingyu, he actually didn’t have any pressing matters to attend to.
Now it was different, some tasks could be done by no one but him.
For instance, orchestrating a collective transfer of guild streamers to strike hard at Gou Star, didn’t it mean scouting for the most potential streamers and poaching them to Xingyu?
Cheese could only take care of a portion, the rest was up to Su Huai to handle personally.
November was Gou Star’s annual competition; before that, Xingyu had to be ready.
So, Su Huai began to observe and chat intensely.
Looking at women through a screen, no one was more skilled than Su Huai, with his many years of operational experience laid out there.
Logging in with the main account, stealthily entering, first assessing physical attributes, then diving to observe personality, and if those were more or less aligned, he would surface to send some small gifts, have a chat, then apply a little pressure to check talent and resilience, finally making a list of potential picks.
With over two thousand hosts online in a single day on Gou Star, three-quarters of whom were female, you can imagine the magnitude of the task.
Without the ability to manage time, Su Huai didn’t even dare to think about it.
But now it was okay.
Before going to sleep he would do a round, looking for those who showed competitiveness during prime time;
Upon waking up, another round to find those persistent enough to be resilient night warriors;
Before and after lunch, another round, observing newbies who are stable in temperament, intelligent, and patient;
At 8 p.m., yet another round, focusing on talents.
In total, work for six hours, the intensity was low, not too taxing, leaving ample energy for studying and not affecting other tasks.
Focus on self-study in the morning, resolve school matters effortlessly in the afternoon, the whole day was particularly fulfilling yet easy to handle.
Chen Nuanhan’s time management framework was really damn useful.
In just three days, everyone felt Su Huai had changed.
