188: Chapter 188 Counterfeit Goods and Booby-Trapped Mines Coexist! Harmony Brings Wealth!

"Boss, if you aren't leaving, how could I dare to leave?"

Su Yang looked at Jiang Yuzhen and frowned slightly, saying, "Behave!"

He hadn't even thought about leaving work.

Mainly because he was naturally energetic, and time was tight with heavy tasks.

He also preferred to get everything done at once!

"Uh... alright!"

Jiang Yuzhen didn't dare to disobey Su Yang's order, so she had no choice but to obediently pack her things and leave.

However, before leaving, she still brewed a fresh pot of tea for Su Yang.

After Jiang Yuzhen left, the entire office quieted down again.

Su Yang felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility, and his focus was razor-sharp.

Taking a sip of tea, he pulled out over forty names from another folder labeled "Explosive Mines."

These forty-plus individuals were all elites capable of breaking through one million followers within a year, but they all had some issues to varying degrees.

Some were prone to jumping ship.

Some were prone to blowing up!

The ones prone to jumping ship were relatively simple to deal with.

Either their wings had hardened, and they wanted to start their own companies!

Or they were poached by other companies offering high prices!

The ones prone to blowing up, however, did so in the most bizarre ways.

Some liked to gamble, ending up in debt despite earning millions a year.

Some got caught for drunk driving.

Some ended up in the station for soliciting prostitutes.

Some ended up in the station for fighting and brawling.

Some were neurotic "little fairies."

Some were emotionally unstable, posting inappropriate remarks during livestreams or online.

Some were exposed by netizens for having sordid pasts, whether it was working as high-end escorts, bullying classmates, or insulting...

There was even a rather attractive young woman who seduced Spark Media's Vice President, Ye Hongwei.

After becoming famous, she had a falling out with the company over compensation issues. She was then manipulated by third-party capital to write a sob story online, scathingly accusing Spark Media's Vice President, Ye Hongwei, of workplace sexual harassment.

They appeared in Su Yang's Business Deduction because they were all sufficiently "excellent."

They had the potential to break through one million followers within a year and could bring substantial profits to the company.

Therefore, when they blew up, the explosion was quite spectacular, capable of causing significant losses to the company.

Or they could directly implicate the company, causing damage to its reputation!

In short, this group of people had infinite potential on the surface, but hidden bombs inside!

Truly, a batch of "high-quality" time bombs!

If these high-quality time bombs didn't detonate after reaching other MCN Companies, Su Yang could only admire the other party's management skills... but human nature being what it is, they would most likely still blow up!

If they really didn't blow up, and the two companies had already fallen out, Su Yang could even give them a little push!

Afterwards, Su Yang began his great undertaking of deduction again!

First, he had to filter out the "time bombs" that hadn't signed with an MCN Company, then strive to sell these "time bombs" as much as possible, while also selling off those seemingly shiny but shoddy goods.

At the same time, he would also prepare his exit strategy.

After all, he couldn't afford to offend all the peers who were poaching his talent!

If this group united, they would be a powerful force!

If they went online to smear the influencers signed to Spark Media, they could still stir up quite a storm.

Therefore, Su Yang tried his best to let the larger MCN Companies buy some "time bombs," allowing them to get a piece of the meat.

He would also break his own "golden reputation" of having a 100% success rate in predicting hits!

After all, that was indeed a bit too eerie.

The feeling of being watched by a pack of hungry wolves all the time wasn't pleasant either!

He would keep a batch of "shoddy goods" for himself.

They might not be able to break through one million followers at Spark Media within a year, but that didn't mean they wouldn't in the future.

Or perhaps their talents were truly excellent, but they just didn't have the fate to become famous.

Su Yang felt that with a little maneuvering, even if he offered a base salary of ten thousand, they wouldn't make him lose money!

If he didn't break his golden reputation, it would easily make other MCN Companies suspicious!

It wasn't that Su Yang was cowardly; he just didn't want to make too many enemies!

Public opinion isn't something you can clear up just by clarifying.

One or a few opponents were fine, but he couldn't possibly take down dozens of MCN Companies!

There was plenty of capital behind these MCN Companies, some even funded by short-video giants.

He had to consider his company's influencers more!

In short... Wealth through harmony!

Without absolute strength, one must conform to the rules; only when one has the strength does one have the qualifications to change the rules!

When night fell, the lights in Su Yang's office turned on.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Su Yang heard a knock at the door.

"Is that you, Boss?"

Yu Siying's voice came from outside the office door.

"Come in!"

Yu Siying, dressed in professional attire, pushed open the door and saw a slightly exhausted Su Yang.

She rarely saw her boss look like this.

Unfortunately, Business Deduction was quite draining. Even though Su Yang had a strong body and abundant energy, using Business Deduction at such a high intensity constantly would still make him feel exhausted.

After all, what Su Yang was facing was a large-scale permutation and combination problem!

"Boss, are you working overtime?"

"If I'm not working overtime, what else would I be doing?" Su Yang smiled and said, "Sit down!"

"Mm!"

Su Yang asked with concern, "It's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"

"Niu Zhitong is leading Gong Caiyun in a livestream sales session today!" Yu Siying explained with a smile. "This is Gong Caiyun's first time on stage, so I want to watch to feel at ease."

"Mm!"

Su Yang naturally had an impression of Gong Caiyun; her future achievements might even be higher than Niu Zhitong's.

She was originally someone Su Yang promoted and asked Yu Siying to cultivate well!

Yu Siying added, "The goods from Jiuxiang Food are selling quite well!"

"That's good!"

Jiuxiang Food had given Spark Media a certain discount, largely to alleviate their inventory pressure.

"Then Boss, do you still have anything on your hands?" Yu Siying asked curiously. "Is it something related to Spark Media?"

"Yes!"

"What is it?" Yu Siying asked eagerly. "Do you want me to find someone to help? There are still some employees in the office!"

"No need to trouble them!" Su Yang shook his head with a smile. "They can't help with this!"

"Then what about me?"

"You..."

"What exactly is it?" Yu Siying was a bit curious.

As the General Manager of Spark Media, she was surprised that the boss was personally working overtime for Spark Media.

Most importantly, she didn't even know what the boss was busy with.

She felt as if she had failed in her duties!

After thinking for a moment, Su Yang asked, "President Yu, have you sensed any crisis for the company?"

"Crisis?"

Yu Siying looked at Su Yang, stunned.

She felt that Spark Media's momentum was currently excellent!

"Other MCN Companies!"

Su Yang hinted.

Yu Siying suddenly realized, "Poaching!"

"Mm!"

Yu Siying's reaction was quite good.

"Recently, some signed influencers have indeed reported to me that people from other MCN Companies have been contacting them. However, I feel that our signed influencers are quite stable, and everyone has a sense of belonging!"

"You should know that quite a few more signed bloggers will likely break through one million followers soon!" Su Yang leaned back in his chair and said softly. "Moreover, there seem to be rumors outside that I have a sharp eye, so our signed influencers will be targeted by even more MCN Companies, including those who haven't even broken the one-million-follower mark yet!"

Yu Siying: "So, Boss, you are worried about other MCN Companies poaching our people?"

"Yes!" Su Yang nodded heavily. "It's probably going to be quite crazy... I estimate it will start around the end of June or July!"

"Ah?"

Yu Siying looked at Su Yang in surprise. She hadn't expected the boss to have even predicted the timing!

Is this really possible?
