My American magical life -
Chapter 886 - 886 59 Come Watch the Fireworks1_2
886: Chapter 59: Come, Watch the Fireworks1_2 886: Chapter 59: Come, Watch the Fireworks1_2 I felt relieved, but Cheng Daqi still grimly opened up the report page for this bullshit question, took a screenshot, and casually sent it to Xiao Cao.
Cheng Daqi ‘have someone report it, make this bullshit question disappear!’
Soon, Cao Yueyue replied.
Cao Yue ‘Cheng Daqi, I checked, Zhao Hongjin’s response is very strong, we might as well give this kind of negative question the cold treatment.
You’ve said that converting haters to fans is the most effective, right?’
Cheng Daqi ‘Alright, come over.’
Upon the boss’s summon, Xiao Cao sped to the scene.
“How much money have we spent on this marketing campaign?”
Even if “Farming” has its charm, Cheng Daqi, Zhao Hongjin, and their fans can’t match this level of attention; the nationwide trending search cannot be separated from the hard work of the Shanhaiguan marketing department.
The effect is good, but as the boss, Cheng Daqi needs to count the cost.
“Less than a million dollars, the natural traffic from you and Zhao Hongjin is supported by fan numbers, “Farming’s” guests, the celebrities, also have their own fan groups; on TiaoDong Video, from the warm-up to the behind-the-scenes content, to the after-show audience feedback and so on, it’s all pretty good.
It can be roughly understood that, relying on TiaoDong Video and Weibo, we’ve spread the heat to other platforms, ultimately achieving the current effect.”
While Cheng Daqi was listening to Xiao Cao’s report, someone knocked on the office door.
“Come in!” Cheng Daqi called out.
Dong Zecheng pushed the door and came in, greeting Cheng Daqi with a smile.
“Cheng Daqi, now you’re more famous than the big stars.”
Cheng Daqi offered a bitter smile, gestured for Dong Zecheng to sit down, and began instructing Xiao Cao.
“Okay, Xiao Cao, continue to keep an eye on the trending searches, those defamations by Little Potato still need to be reported…
As for those directly attacking me personally, have Wu Lu send a lawyer’s letter straight away, we’ll sue if they don’t apologize.”
Hearing Cheng Daqi’s words, Dong Zecheng’s expression turned slightly stern as he shifted a bit closer to the edge of his seat.
Loyalty!
“Old Dong, how’s the situation with the branch office?”
Pouring a cup of tea for Dong Zecheng, Cheng Daqi showed concern for the Shanhaiguan branch office.
Shanhaiguan has already established a mature industrial model for producing short videos, and this model still retains some competitive edges compared to Shanhaiguan’s rivals.
Therefore, Cheng Daqi pushed the Shanhaiguan management to start an expansion plan.
“The preparatory work for the several directly managed branches you mentioned before has all been put into place.
However, the joint venture local branches prepared with partners are relatively complicated, each with its own challenges, but all solvable.”
Cheng Daqi shook his head; problem-solving is a pseudo-proposition because it’s related to expectations, and Cheng Daqi’s expectations for ‘franchise-type’ branches cooperating with locals from different cities were very low.
However, this low expectation isn’t an excuse for Dong Zecheng to slack off.
“Give me the details.”
Old Dong pondered for a moment, choosing the most complicated issue to report.
“We had a partner whose intentions were already negotiated, the core team was dispatched, but he reneged at the last minute, poaching our people, preparing to go it alone.
Since his identity is quite sensitive, if we want to continue opening a branch there, we can’t pick a fight with him.”
An outsider doesn’t stand a chance against a local henchman, Cheng Daqi sighed and said.
“Has he not transferred the money yet?”
Dong Zecheng nodded with a wry smile.
“Why did you dispatch people without the money?
What about compensation?”
“They plan to drag it out.” Dong Zecheng’s answer was only half there.
It seems shrewd, but in reality, everything was said.
Cheng Daqi didn’t have much to do about these shitty matters.
It wasn’t fear, but the short video track is big enough; if there’s backstabbing, then so be it, we’ll just go through the legal process.
In America, Cheng Daqi liked to be unscrupulous because the rules of that land of freedom were all about the supremacy of power.
And his opponents didn’t hesitate at all to employ underhanded tactics.
Hua Country is different; here, the laws and judicial branches are truly able to restrain many people.
For most ordinary people, this is actually a good thing.
“Let President Yang handle the follow-up, Old Dong, I wanted to ask you something…
um, are you still in touch with your old colleagues from LeEco?”
In Cheng Daqi’s words, all sorts of elements were maxed out, causing Dong Zecheng’s heart to churn as soon as he gave it a thought.
First completing the task, then inquiring about LeEco, Dong Zecheng felt somewhat panicked.
Could he possibly be fired because of LeEco’s track record?
“Well, there’s contact, but not much,” he said.
Cheng Daqi smiled meaningfully, offering reassurance.
“Hahaha, no worries, you go and get busy,” he said.
The anxious deputy general manager left.
A senior worker remains a worker after all.
Cheng Daqi, a pioneer entrepreneur, holds immense control over Shanhaiguan.
Just like how Dongxin’s men would tremble at a word from him, with just a simple question from President Cheng, Old Dong would probably spend the following days sleepless.
The question itself wasn’t lethal, but handing over the subdivision’s affairs to Yang Yuan was essentially Cheng Daqi’s adjustment of Dong Zecheng’s scope of power.
When combining these two things, it looks like a warning no matter how you see it.

“”Family Good Items: Depraved to the core, swindling a full-time mother’s life-saving money!” – Who wrote this title, it’s quite interesting,” Zhong Ju praised with a satisfied clap of his hands.
Simply put, the headline of this accusatory article was too impactful.
In the plan devised by Cheng Daqi and Sun Dongxin, Zhong Ju’s primary task was to launch the first wave of offense against Family Good Items.
First stir up the water, then naturally, someone will be responsible for the subsequent steps.
“President Zhong, the draft I provided, my wife is a reporter for the Egret Island Daily, she personally wrote this article,” he said.
Zhong Ju looked over it again, identified the problem, and asked.
“I remember Dongxin’s middle-layer insurance can cover the employees’ family members, right?”
“Yes, but President Zhong, the child with cancer, the deceived mom, the despicable scammer – these elements are more likely to elicit empathy,” he responded.
“Alas, this man is also unlucky, letting his wife handle the money, and she managed it all away to nothing,” he said.
Zhong Ju sighed softly, ultimately not saying anything more.
He picked up the document and left the meeting room, heading straight to the chairman’s office.
When working by a big shot’s side, the most important thing is to constantly report on the progress, especially when it concerns matters personally assigned by the big shot, you have to report frequently.
The attitude, on the other hand, is the least important.
For those who can become confidants of the big shot, attitude is never a concern.
Mainly, when the big shot cares immensely about something, the sole focus of effort should be to ‘get it done.’
But…
no one has the ability to do well just because they want to; failure might even become the norm.
If progress is not reported in a timely manner, when failure happens in the future, it’ll be troublesome.
Once or twice, the big shot might not care, but as time goes on, problems will arise for sure.
In conclusion, when handling critical tasks for the big shot, process management and milestone checks are among the essential aspects that must be prioritized!
“…, currently, we have only seven or eight people we’re looking at, from which I’ve selected the most topical one, which is the husband of the deceived housewife in the article,” he said.
“This article…, could be more highlighted…, you are also aware of the standard of Egret Island Daily’s reporters; they are not low,” he stated.
Zhong Ju briefly explained the process he went through, as Sun Dongxin silently read the article, without giving an opinion.
He still thought Cheng Daqi’s methods were too risky.
However, as every generation produces its own talents, Brother Sun decided to stick to the original plan without changes.
After all, this time they were operating in the shadows, while Family Good Items was exposed.
Shanhaiguan might have issues, but it was also a ‘victim’—an imperfect victim, but still a victim.
The internet celebrities under Shanhaiguan’s banner helped drive traffic for Family Good Items, but never endorsed Family Good Items’ money-making schemes.
As for those unlucky ones who got swindled…
Maintaining the liquidity of social wealth is a necessary condition to sustain societal vitality.
The wealth redistribution due to a lack of intellectual capacity aligns with the mainstream trend of social advancement; behind the suffering of countless individuals, lies the realm of humanity in which all beings live.
Sun Dongxin rubbed his wrist and looked at the lines of calligraphy he had just written on his desk, falling into a lengthy silence.
‘Heaven and Earth are impartial, treating all creatures as stray dogs.’
He was a Confucian businessman, and in the end, he had some sentiments.
Zhong Ju wasn’t in a hurry; after a while, he finally heard Sun Dongxin speak softly.
“Little Zhong, let’s start as planned.”
