Yuan Yu was efficient. In less than a week, he had taken care of the paperwork required to set up a new company. The only thing holding him back was his opinion of the company name.
"Xixi, why don't we discuss the company name again?" Yuan Yu thought the name sounded frivolous.
"Does 'Cosmos Entertainment Corporation' sound wrong to you?" Shen Xi asked.
"It sounds so frivolous, doesn't befit a man of my intelligence and maturity." Yuan Yu regarded his younger sister whose face was devoid of a smile.
When the girl first met him, she was rather cheerful.
Recently, she had not smiled at him. He even felt stressed when she behaved sternly towards him.
"It's appropriate." Shen Xi threw him a sideways look. Her gaze seemed to tell him that he was the frivolous one.
"Ok, you're the shareholder and the investor, so you have the final say." Yuan Yu gave in and scanned through her proposal.
Her proposal was split into several sections, such as films, TV shows, variety shows, artistes, singers, screenwriting, directing, livestreams and short videos.
The lists that she prepared were categorized clearly. They included actors, singers, performing idols, screenwriters, directors, make-up artists and stylists. The information was comprehensive.
Some of these people were newcomers to show business; Some of them were still in high school, and some of them had been in the industry for a while but never made a name for themselves.
Yuan Yu could get these people on board. He would not question her choices, for those were her secrets.
He would listen to her if she told him, and he would not force her if she did not want to. He decided to trust her the moment he worked with her.
"Chairman Shen, I think livestreaming is too risky and we don't have enough funds to invest in it now." Yuan Yu looked at her. "We'd better think this through!"
"Brother, are you sure you don't have the funds?" Shen Xi eyed him intriguingly.
"We have only just begun. The stakes are too high and we can't afford it." Yuan Yu believed it was better to take it a step at a time.
"Brother, I never knew you were so timid. There's a balance between risk and revenue. You have a double degree in finance and economic management, and you're afraid of this?" Shen Xi was aware of his vast network.
Back in the day, the Yuan family was somewhat influential. Yuan Yu's mother, Yuan Xiangwan was the only daughter of the family. After she passed away, he should be the rightful heir to her property.
Unfortunately, Su Yi and Li Jingran did something to the will and seized the Yuan family's property.
The elders of the Yuan family were sworn brothers of Elder Yuan and loyal to him. They grew a spine and left the Yuan family.
Those old men would not abandon Yuan Yu, who was the only descendant and heir to the family.
"Shen Xi, as a hands-off boss, do you know the cost of managing our company's business?" Yuan Yu never treated her like a child.
"Don't worry about the funds, Big Brother." Shen Xi laughed. "I promise that our company will operate normally in less than half a year."
"You're extremely confident for a hands-off boss." Yuan Yu felt equally annoyed and amused.
Shen Xi retorted, "Says who? I'm the screenwriter of films and TV shows, and I'm the producer of variety shows. Also, I have to write songs, train the artistes and recruit staff members and other artistes for you."
Yuan Yu wanted to ask her what kind of strange creature she was, but he held his tongue. "What about the short videos?"
Shen Xi pointed at the proposal. "We should create a platform for livestreaming and short videos. We should create the biggest and most popular app in the country.
Once the platform is established, we shall get a few renowned hosts and vloggers to sign deals with us."
She was reborn ten years into the past, at a time when livestreams were not as popular and when short videos had just begun to surface. There was no proper platform to support these two activities yet, so this was her opportunity and she must seize it.
"App development isn't as easy as you think."
"Brother, I'm sure you have a lot of classmates overseas, and you know lots of people in Silicon Valley. Make them an offer they can't resist. Livestreams will blow up within these next two years, and prepare yourself for short videos. Soon, they will be very popular."
"You sure know a lot."
Yuan Yu chuckled and let out a sigh. She knew all about his background.
Shen Xi pointed at her head. "Big Brother, I offer the ideas and you offer technical support. These ideas are priceless and no amount of money can buy them."
Yuan Yu nodded. "I'll get this done as soon as possible."
Shen Xi finally smiled. Her smile was like the sun's rays in spring and had melted her icy demeanor. She patted her chest. "Trust me, Brother. We'll make tons of profits. Till then, our company will become a proper value chain.
"In half a year, at most, my script will be adapted into a TV series, and our company will propel the first batch of celebrities to fame. When the app is developed, we'll get our famous celebs to be brand ambassadors of our own products. Easy peasy."
Yuan Yu regarded her. "I hope so."
Shen Xi offered him a fist bump. She smiled with confidence. "Always has been."
Yuan Yu bumped her fist. "Little Sis, what other secrets do you have?"
Shen Xi asked, "Guess?"
Yuan Yu replied, "I trust you."
He always felt that his judgment and wisdom were better than most people.
However, his younger sister kept surprising him and exceeded him.
Shen Xi had a hearty lunch at her own company. As she laid on the sofa, she wondered whether she had missed out on any unknown artistes with great potential whom she could recruit.
"Chairman Shen, can I come in?" Yuan Yu knocked on the door.
Shen Xi narrowed her eyes and watched as her brother strode in. "Shoot, Chairman Yuan."
Yuan Yu patted her leg, gesturing at her to make some space. He sat beside her and said, "Director An phoned just now. He likes your script very much and hopes to meet up for a discussion."
Two days ago, she gave him a TV script of "The Smiling Nation", adapted from her novel "The Favored Advisor of the Golden Age".
He read it and found the story to be excellent. As long as they filmed the series according to the script, cast suitable actors and marketed the show in the right manner, it would surely be a hit.
"Alright," Shen Xi answered lazily.
She was confident about her story, her script and her writing skills.
"I'll accompany you tomorrow!" Yuan Yu said.
Shen Xi shook her head. "You're a busy man, Chairman Yuan, and I don't want to bother you. Aren't we going to pick up Sweet Sugar afterwards? I'll let her accompany me."
Yuan Yu asked, "Why the rush? The shooting can wait until our company is in a more stable condition. We'll get better resources then."
Shen Xi laughed. "You have put up with it for 20 years and have the patience of a saint, Big Brother. Unlike you, however, I don't want to be a saint."
Yuan Yu was completely speechless.
He should not have asked that question. Sometimes, this kid could kill with words.
"Big Brother, hand the script to Su Mushi and get him to be the male lead," Shen Xi said nonchalantly.
"The third young master of the Su family won't be interested in this low-budget web series." A hint of mischief appeared in Yuan Yu's narrow eyes.
"That's my point! I don't want him to accept it!" Shen Xi laughed cunningly and blinked at Yuan Yu like a little fox. "I love seeing how ugly and twisted his face looks when he's agitated and filled with regret."
Yuan Yu returned a knowing smile. "You're a wise one, Little Sis."
Shen Xi cupped her fists. "Thank you very much, you're too kind."
Su Mushi was a petty fellow. Once the series was famous, he would certainly be pissed. The very thought of it put a smile on her face.
