I have many complaints in my heart, but I dare not utter a single word out loud.

Zhao Ying just sadly realized that she really had caught a very good opportunity, but it wasn’t so easy to capitalize on.

At one point, the idea of finding a man to be a mistress, a lover, to exchange youth for money, surfaced in her mind again.

But she quickly dismissed these wild thoughts.

In the past, she had no choice, but if there was a choice, who wouldn’t want to be in control of their own destiny and live with dignity?

Even if the road is truly difficult, and the future walk will be tough, Zhao Ying is not afraid of the hardship as long as she is on the path.

“CEO Cheng, is it correct to understand that it’s about immediate assessment and long-term assessment?” asked Xiao Cao, listening intently; she thought CEO Cheng was simply a genius.

Other MCN agencies are scrambling for hot topics, resorting to marketing without any bottom line, yet Cheng Daqi sincerely hopes to attend to every detail of cultivation.

In the short term, CEO Cheng’s method might not produce quick results, but this is truly the path to success.

“Yes, then let’s talk about the four dimensions, the first being the assessment of the course—how to evaluate the effectiveness and the quality of teaching.

The second is assessing the gains of the listeners, that is, whether they have studied seriously or not.

The third is assessing the trainees at the end of the training period, picking several points in time for comparison, identifying those who have done better, and conducting data analysis.

The fourth is to keep track of the changes in Internet hot topics and public opinion environment; introducing the latest courses from time to time, helping the influencers under Shanhaiguan to better understand the changes in the environment.

After all, we are in the cultural media industry, and this fourth point will run through the entire lifecycle of every creator; it’s very important.”

After Cheng Daqi finished speaking, the entire cabin fell silent—CEO Cheng, it seems you’re too serious, we feel so much pressure.

With a boss as outstanding as you, we feel like we can’t keep up…

The only one who didn’t feel the pressure was Xiao Cao, having already faced enough pressure recently, she now chose not to fight internally and to do her best with every task at hand.

After pondering over Cheng Daqi’s words for a while, Xiao Cao asked.

“CEO Cheng, if we really follow your meticulous approach to cultivation…

won’t our costs become too high?”

Expressing his appreciation, Cheng Daqi nodded at Xiao Cao and explained.

“Our costs will definitely be higher than other competitors; our strategy involves high costs, but you don’t need to worry about the cost issue.

There are many things you can’t see clearly because you’re not at my level, so you have concerns, but you can trust me, Xiao Cao.”

Seeing Xiao Cao nodding silently, Cheng Daqi explained to the other girls.

“You don’t need to worry, either.

Although in normal business logic, a high-cost company would have to harshly treat its collaborators and brands, Shanhaiguan is a start-up focusing on short-video fields.

The short-video industry is just starting to blossom, and there will be a lot of growth in the next few years.

In the vast Hua Country short-video market, just a small share of the growth will make the so-called costs negligible.”

The girls hadn’t realized that the discussion between Xiao Cao and Cheng Daqi could impact their interests, but with Cheng Daqi’s explanation, they realized—CEO Cheng is right.

If the operating costs of Shanhaiguan are high, then the signed parties like them would be exploited even more miserably.

But CEO Cheng used the prospect of a broad future to dispel their worries; they felt that CEOs as honest and generous as him are rare in this deceitful modern society.

Actually, the logic Cheng Daqi spoke of was just superficial; the fundamental reason Shanhaiguan wasn’t afraid of high costs was that the profit margin in the future short-video industry is too big!

Even if it keeps losing money, as long as it can raise some mid-tier influencers and a few top-tier ones, CEO Cheng will be able to sell Shanhaiguan to various internet platforms in the future—ordinary people can’t imagine, even food delivery apps will do short videos in the future.

Moreover, CEO Cheng holds many cards in his hand, and there’s no need to insist on immediate profits from raising chickens; Shanhaiguan can be unprofitable yet still useful.

Did bike-sharing ever make a profit?

After burning through massive amounts of cash, how much was earned?

When the money was being burned, did the investors hesitate?

Being only a worker, Xiao Cao lacks CEO Cheng’s perspective, information advantage, and his audacity—when CEO Cheng started businesses in America, he never anticipated profitability from the beginning.

But did that affect anything?

Raising funds when needed, hiring people when needed, without a hitch.

Cost is a big issue, but it’s not that big of an issue.

When Evergrande expanded into multiple industries, it dabbled in Evergrande Music, Evergrande Spring, Evergrande Auto, Evergrande Health, Evergrande Wealth, Evergrande Games, Evergrande Paradise, Evergrande Well-being, and none of these were profitable—they were all burning money.

Did that stop Xu from becoming the richest man?

If it hadn’t been for the real estate ceiling and the setting of several red lines, Xu’s headlong rush could have continued.

Of course, Shanhaiguan doesn’t have the capacity of Evergrande, and Cheng Daqi doesn’t have Xu’s guts—that’s someone who walks the path to his own demise, maybe he has an affinity for fireworks within.
