In most cases, commercial cooperations like financing signing ceremonies usually don’t involve any major ceremonies.

Everyone is there for profit, so after conducting research and evaluations, the key figures from both sides could just sign the agreement in an office and transfer the money.

But there are also many special cases.

For instance, the collaboration between Accountant Jia and Binzi back in the day was massively publicized.

Similarly, big conglomerates and enterprises might opt for large-scale publicity for strategic investments or major projects to increase their influence.

In juxtaposition to this serious yet not-so-serious large-scale publicity is another strange phenomenon.

Like, the micro-business conferences, channel agents conventions, and the like.

All those bizarre stories like ‘understanding applause’ and ‘betray me and I’ll give him three million’ were born from deliberately crafted marketing events.

For many enterprises and projects, their strength and resources exist only in slogans and publicity, requiring them to use exaggerated marketing and publicity to dazzle people—the louder the voice, the more people hear it, and the gathering of fools would be quicker and in greater numbers.

Shanhaiguan certainly isn’t a heartless company out to swindle fools, but it does need appropriate marketing, especially since its business is a subcategory of media.

—————–

Egret Island, Siming Campus Science and Art Center of Xiamen University, the Grand Auditorium.

The financing signing ceremony between Shanhaiguan and Dongxin Industry was held here.

Gu Chaofei is a reliable top-class human being; CEO Cheng and President Sun gave him a tight schedule, but he earnestly consulted CEO Cheng’s ideas and executed the tasks to the best of his abilities within his capacity.

As a distinguished alumnus of Xiamen University, Gu Chaofei urgently leveraged his connections, securing the university auditorium for the signing ceremony before a deal was even made with Xiamen University’s School of Journalism and Communication.

Though it may sound impressive, in the end, securing Xiamen University’s auditorium is just a matter of talking to the right person.

But the charm of journalism lies in the ability to ‘create based on a true story’.

Last night, after Gu Chaofei told CEO Cheng that the venue was secured, CEO Cheng began arranging marketing activities.

“Sister Cao, the gifts and red packets for the media are all ready, it’s just that the extras aren’t in place yet.”

Xiao Cao is responsible for many meticulous tasks within Shanhaiguan, such as, right now, she found herself thrown into the deep end doing event planning.

“No worries, we sponsored the student union at Xiamen University with twenty thousand yuan, and when the time comes, the place will be packed.

Zhang San, go check the live broadcast’s sound reception again; we’ll be live on multiple platforms shortly.”

It was indeed Xiao Cao’s first time planning such a large event, and although CEO Cheng had gone over all the details with her, she still felt immense pressure.

Cao Yueyue’s true inner thoughts: Who knew?

Within half a year after graduating, leading a team through various challenges, sometimes I feel like I’m a superhero.

In fact, she was genuinely exceptionally talented; under CEO Cheng’s guidance, Xiao Cao was starting to develop the bearing of a tough woman from her previous life.

“Sister Cao, everything has been confirmed: the sound system is working fine, and the live stream is connected to a temporary dedicated line, which has been tested three times already,”

Although Shanhaiguan is a small company, this little sparrow already has the capability to soar high.

Under CEO Cheng’s deliberate control, Shanhaiguan’s team is quite diverse, with no lack of talent in various fields—he even hired programmers.

Keep in mind, Shanhaiguan is a legitimate cultural media company whose main business is MCN, with no coding involved at all.

“Buzz!”

The vibration of the phone interrupted Xiao Cao’s conversation with the staff, she picked up the phone, and it was a message from CEO Cheng.

Cheng: “Sun and I will be arriving soon, are you ready on your end?”

After going over everything in her mind once more and checking for any discrepancies between the plan and the actual setup, Xiao Cao quickly replied, “All set!”

Having said that, she turned off her phone, clenched her fist to relieve the fatigue from staying up late, then put on her fullest smile.

Cao Yueyue clapped her hands and emphasized for one last time.

“CEO Cheng is about to arrive, and later we’ll have leaders from Siming District of Egret Island and leaders from Xiamen University coming over, we’ve already rehearsed the flow twice…”

At this point, she felt a bit dizzy.

Not from exhaustion, but from a sense of wonder.

Since joining Shanhaiguan, her life seemed to have hit the fast-forward button.

In just over a month, she had experienced so many things she had never even thought about before.

“CEO Cheng always emphasizes to us that Shanhaiguan’s vision is to become a content company that is respected.

It’s a tough journey.

Today marks our true departure, as well as the most critical step.

Our live stream is not just for outsiders to watch; it’s also our own record of Shanhaiguan’s development.

When one day in the future, we become the benchmark in the industry, we can proudly point to what we’re doing today and tell them, ‘Look, we were different from the start.’

Put your best attitude forward, and remember every step of the task you’re assigned!”

As she spoke, Xiao Cao realized she was too tense, and making the event seem too serious might put undue pressure on her colleagues.

She quickly came up with a shift in tone.

“Soldiers, get moving, this isn’t a drill, CEO Cheng said if anyone screws up, he’ll stuff them in a cannon and shoot them out.”

Although this diversion was a bit off-script, it did convey a sense of humor, though it might have affected CEO Cheng’s image.
