At seven o'clock sharp, Li Yan and Su Qing appeared downstairs in the apartment on time.
A black Mercedes-Benz S350 was parked quietly on the side of the road. Its body was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the rising sunlight.
The driver, Lao Chen, had already been waiting by the car.
When he saw the two people, he immediately opened the back seat door with a skillful and respectful movement.
"Morning, Mr. Li, morning, Assistant Su."
"Morning, Lao Chen." Li Yan nodded, bent down and sat in the spacious and comfortable back seat.
Su Qing sat next to Li Yan habitually.
The car drove smoothly out of the community and merged into the increasingly busy traffic flow.
In 2008, Dongguan was at the end of the golden age of manufacturing. Trucks and cars were constantly flowing on the streets, and factories lined both sides of the road, creating a scene of vigorous development.
On the car radio, the morning news from the local traffic station was playing. The host was reporting yesterday's stock market conditions and local people's livelihood news in Mandarin with a slight accent.
Li Yan leaned back on the soft leather seat and glanced at the rapidly retreating street scene outside the window.
The factories with various signboards and the busy pedestrians passing by constitute the unique development pulse of this era.
His star technology is just a strong beating link in this huge pulse.
Su Qing turned slightly from the front seat and handed over a folder: "Mr. Li, this is the file that needs to be processed as a priority today. In addition, the program recorded by "Happy Camp" last Friday was broadcast last night."
Li Yan took the folder and raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Oh? How was the response?"
"The discussion on the Internet is very lively," Su Qing's mouth curved in a clear arc, obviously in a good mood, "Especially Mr. Jay Chou Referring to your paragraph, the topic "Jay Chou praises Xingchen Li Yan" has become a hot topic in Tianya Community and Tieba. The number of visits to our Xingchen Community has also increased significantly after the show was broadcast. "
"The terms in the contract have been implemented well."
Li Yan spoke calmly, opened the folder, and his eyes fell on the sales data summary on the first page - the order number of Xingchen A1 had quietly exceeded the 450,000 unit mark during his morning run.
The corners of his mouth moved upward slightly, then returned to normal.
This is all in the plan, but when the expected success actually comes, the inner satisfaction is still full.
"Jay's team is very professional, and Teacher He and the others also cooperate very well."
Su Qing added, "This has improved our brand image better than investing tens of millions of dollars in GG."
Li Yan said "hmm" without looking away from the document.
He knows that this wave of popularity, triggered by top traffic and top variety show platforms, will be like a strong east wind, pushing the star A1, a ship that has already set sail, to a wider sea.
The goal of selling one million units per month seems within reach.
The car drove into Xiabian Industrial Zone, and the old factory of Xingchen Technology came into view.
Even in the early morning, there is already a long queue of trucks waiting to load goods at the factory gate, which is winding and spectacular.
In the guard room, several security guards were busy registering and guiding vehicles.
The car passed by the old factory area and did not stop. Instead, it headed all the way to the headquarters of Xingchen Technology.
"Mr. Li, here we are."
Li Yan and Su Qing got off the car one after another and walked into the office building.
The little girl at the front desk immediately stood up and said hello respectfully.
· Along the way, all the employees I encountered were smiling, with awe and a hint of proud excitement in their eyes.
·The company's performance has exploded, and their bonuses and prospects have naturally increased. The source of all this comes from the young boss in front of them.
Walking into the general manager's office, it is spacious and bright, and the decoration style is modern and simple.
Li Yan took off his coat, Su Qing took it and hung it up naturally, then quickly connected his laptop to the power supply and the Internet, and made a cup of Longjing tea that he was used to drinking.
"Do you need me to find the video of "Happy Camp" now?" Su Qing asked.
"Okay, let it go."
Li Yan sat down behind the large desk, picked up the tea cup, blew open the floating leaves, and took a sip.
The fragrant tea soup slides into the throat, dispelling the last trace of laziness in the morning.
Su Qing skillfully operated the computer and connected it to the projector in the office.
The curtain slowly lowered, and she clicked on a video link that she had already saved.
The definition of online video in 2008 was far less than that of later generations, but it was enough for the current communication effect.
The huge projection screen began to play excerpts from Hunan Satellite TV's "Happy Camp" last Saturday night.
After the familiar title sequence, dynamic music and the opening show of the five members of the Happy Family, the program entered the guest appearance stage.
When host He Jiong shouted "Let us welcome - Zhou! Jay! Lun!" in his highly recognizable, passionate and infectious voice, Li Yan could still feel the fanatical atmosphere of the scene that almost broke through the screen, even though it was through the video.
The stage lights were focused, and the mist made by dry ice filled the air. Jay Chou, dressed in a street fashion style and wearing a trademark headscarf, slowly rose from the lifting platform in the center of the stage, accompanied by the prelude of one of his own fast-paced songs.
He lowered his head slightly, with a familiar, slightly shy and cool smile on his lips.
"Jaylen! Jaylen! Jaylen!"
The audience, especially the young female fans, screamed and cheered like a tsunami, waving the fluorescent sticks and light signs in their hands, forming a boiling ocean.
The camera panned across the audience, and you could clearly see that many girls were flushed with excitement, and some even covered their mouths with wet eyes.
This is the unparalleled appeal of Jay Chou in 2008, the undisputed king of the Chinese music scene.
He Jiong came up with his warm and precise smile, shook hands with Jay Chou and hugged him: "Welcome Jay! Long time no see! It feels like our stage is about to be overturned by the enthusiasm of your fans!"
Jay Chou took the microphone, still using the slightly vague but highly personal tone: "Hello everyone, I am Jay Chou. I am very happy to come to "Happy Camp" again."
This simple sentence caused a new round of uproar from the audience.
The program flow is carried out step by step.
He Jiong is indeed an experienced host, and his ability to guide topics is top-notch, ranging from Jay Chou's recently released new album to movie plans, to interesting things in life and magic hobbies.
Although Jay Chou doesn't speak much, and occasionally shows his true nature as a "talkative brother", every expression and every simple response he makes can accurately trigger the screams of the fans in the audience and the teasing of the happy family. The scene is full of laughter and the atmosphere is warm.
The program reached the mid-term interactive session. Jay Chou played a music-related game with the Happy Family, showing off his excellent sense of music and occasional sense of humor.
After the game, everyone took a short break, and He Jiong naturally and seemingly inadvertently led the topic in the preset direction.
