Chapter 800: Chapter 335 Fully Automatic Intelligent Water Army_2
"Yes," Su Huai continued with a smile, "her reactions to external stimuli are relatively slow, she’s cautious by nature. When she hears a question, she habitually deliberates first, and by the time she answers, she reviews it in her mind one more time, striving for accuracy.
As a result, you see her overall performance is very appropriate, and you think she’s talented.
Actually, that’s not wrong. If considering a career in civil service, her personality would indeed complement it well: steady, serious, trustworthy.
But the requirements for live streaming are the exact opposite. Hosts face so many viewers and receive a large amount of information in a short time, they must promptly filter the valuable parts and then give the most interesting reactions.
What our industry needs is not stability, but natural smartness..."
"It’s absolutely amazing!"
Director Liu sighed with emotion, "Under Mr. Su’s leadership, Xingyu is bound to move towards a bright future. Old Ji, you must treat Mr. Su as a top VIP for your services. Whether Xinhe Lianchuang Park can develop well all depends on Xingyu pulling the train!"
Su Huai was quite pleased with the bootlicking, but the other party’s attention was genuine.
They had never seen such a high-end, impressive way of showing off muscle anywhere else.
Having finished the interview, it just so happened to be mealtime.
Director Liu played host, accompanied by the finance office, and several branch managers from various banks also joined in.
Hangzhou Bank, Construction Central Agricultural Bank, SPD Bank, Ping An - all the current branches in the Jiubao Subdistrict were present, plus an additional one, the online bank from Ma Yun.
Zhang Dayi woke up and hurried over, and everyone chatted lively yet inconsequentially.
Their main purpose in coming was to confirm the loan details. A loan of one to two billion might not sound like a lot, but in the nook and cranny of Jiubao, it represented a tenth of the banks’ internal balances.
Su Huai collected the business cards and decided to delegate the matter to his subordinates.
Whoever could negotiate a higher loan amount and a lower interest rate would be promoted to Hangzhou’s person-in-charge after all, regardless of their current position.
It wasn’t taken lightly, as this place was most important, so it was subjected to the most control from the parent company, placing a manager with strong local connections was quite a good idea.
After dinner, they also discussed the matter of the 200 acres of land. Su Huai directly tasked Zhang Dayi with building the warehouse.
"How can I make use of such a huge space?"
Zhang Dayi was obviously puzzled.
Struggling to keep a straight face, Su Huai consoled her, "Use as much as you need, we’ve got to get started to show the subdistrict office that we’re making moves..."
Zhang Dayi understood, frustrated yet helpless, "Fine, fine, fine, use me as the target practice!"
Might as well be used for that purpose, since I wouldn’t bother using anyone else...
In the short term, the land couldn’t be fully utilized, Su Huai didn’t plan on rushing a decision before the new year.
With the last matter taken care of, Hangzhou’s branch was just waiting to open its doors.
But Su Huai couldn’t wait; he took the high-speed rail to the Magic Capital that afternoon.
Swipe...
Not swipable, the free attempts were used up, swiping again would cost 100 million—a fool would do such a stupid thing.
Su Huai didn’t have many acquaintances in the Magic Capital, just two staff members scouting potential sites, so upon arrival, he got straight to work.
Logically speaking, the Magic Capital was the least suitable city for a live streaming base, not even one of them.
Its exorbitant cost of living, the head-spinning financial hub, abundant opportunities but also incredibly cutthroat competition, the high-quality beauties had no need to live stream, and those not up to standard simply couldn’t survive in live streaming.
But as the national economic center, it was indispensable to make a presence there—other MCNs might ignore this place, but Xingyu still wanted to establish a foothold.
Therefore, Su Huai’s requirement was to find an office building in the suburban area of Pudong, with a few hundred square meters of space, enough to set up a few live streaming rooms. Just a token presence would do.
The manager of the Magic Capital branch only had the authority to sign contracts with B-level offline hosts, providing no live streaming space unless they made it to A-level on their own.
Su Huai’s most important task was to interview a few A-level hosts to be the main attraction for the branch. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
The situation was so dire that they could only set up the interview location in the hotel he was staying at...
Fortunately, Xingyu was now well-known enough that as soon as the recruitment information was released, many local girls and college students in the Magic Capital responded to the call.
This time, the interview process was a bit more troublesome. Chen Ru presided over the initial interviews, and after that, Su Huai took over the second round.
Meanwhile, he also had to go with Fu Yu to check out real estate, considering which had the best cost-performance ratio.
But in the end, it was Zuo Zongcai who handled everything.
He secured an entire floor for Su Huai at the Pudong Micro Valley International Building, the 18th floor, with a construction area of 1000 square meters, and the rent was a reasonable 3 million per year.
Since they only signed A-level hosts offline, they weren’t worried about running out of space for a long time.
If they did quickly fill up the space, it would actually be a good thing, surely meaning big profits.
But the main job here was still to radiate online and set up a signpost for the dream-chasing girls.
When it came to dream-chasing girls, Su Huai encountered several during the second round of interviews.
"How do you plan to cultivate me," "How soon can I see results," "Will there be a chance to enter the entertainment industry later," and other questions were bombarded non-stop, which was annoying as hell.
And this was already the result after Chen Ru had screened them once...
It’s not that those with ambition couldn’t be used, but such recruits would definitely be restless after being brought in, truly a pain in the neck.
The second round of interviews took a full two days, and in the end, Su Huai only signed three.
Number one was a sister from Shanghai Theatre Academy, unsigned to any agency, working freelance on the fringes of the entertainment industry.
Mediocre beauty, extroverted, willing to try anything.
Number two, a male, a northeasterner adrift in Shanghai, skip.
Number three, male, bar performer, skip.
That these two could be signed, mainly hinged on the branch’s space being large enough to let them live in the studio, which was also quite a feat.
It took a full five days to get things sorted in Magic Capital before Su Huai continued his tour.
Arriving in Guangzhou and Shenzhen was much easier, as the staff had already prepped the groundwork.
Location determination + simple interviews, done in one day, then off to Sichuan.
On the first day in Qingqing, Su Huai was defeated by the mildly spicy hotpot, as high Health couldn’t withstand the pain.
Rushed through the location selection, approved eight A-tier contracts, and continued to fly.
The next stop, Xi’an, was truly a great place, Great Tang Never Night City was unbelievably beautiful, pity there was simply no time to visit the Terracotta Army.
Xi’an also had plenty of beauties, girls there are tall and fair-skinned, and because the cost of living is low, they had a particular relaxed air about them, making for many promising candidates in the second round of interviews.
Su Huai briskly approved eighteen A-tier contracts.
But this place was unusually female-dominated; most of the streamers were girls, unlike the Northeast, where tough male streamers were plentiful.
Went to Zhengzhou for location selection, and Xingyu became neighbors with several guilds from YY and Douyu.
Right next to Xiyasi College, on Renmin Auxiliary Road, upstairs and downstairs were numerous small guilds. When Xingyu hung up its sign, they all came to gawk.
Smiling cheerfully, Su Huai said to the person in charge of setting up the preliminary work, "I’ll give you three months to squeeze them all out of business, can you do it?"
"Piece of cake!"
The two guys let out a sly chuckle, "We’ve had our eye on their streamers for a while..."
Su Huai left satisfied.
The final stop, Harbin.
After settling into the hotel, Su Huai called his subordinates for a bath.
"Coming to the Northeast and not experiencing the bathing culture is like coming for nothing, guys, I’ll take you for a proper scrub-up!"
Before leaving, Chen Ru and Tang Xian’er were reluctant, but after the scrubbing and going upstairs for the buffet, they were thrilled.
In the end, none of them managed to leave the bath center and ended up checking into rooms to stay there directly.
Before sleeping, Su Huai called a masseuse—strictly professional.
Finally relaxed, no longer preoccupied with so much work, he decided to take advantage of his good mood and pull Hua Qianqian’s reward.
Previously, he wasn’t in a hurry because he didn’t lack those attributes; now was the time.
Opening the System panel, just about to start the draw, Su Huai glanced at the store and suddenly paused.
Fuck!
How could he have forgotten about this thing?
Refreshed on the first of every month, he hadn’t yet checked out the new products for January!
Su Huai glanced at his watch, scared out of his wits, today was just the 31st, one more hour and he would have missed out!
"Really shouldn’t have, I need to keep this in mind from now on..."
Muttering to himself, he opened the store, and then he saw a peculiar item.
Fully Automated Smart Cyber Army (Corps-Level) Black Box Program.
What the hell is this?!
