84: This month's loss is 60 million.
In another streaming group, Jiang Chuan notified the fifty-plus Streamers that they could head to Falling City. This had been arranged long ago; everyone's contracts required them to stream at the company.
After finishing the arrangements, he started the car and drove toward the company.
After parking in the company's underground garage, Shen Jincheng rushed out of the car, wanting to take the elevator to the eighth floor to find his sister and complain about their father.
However, the elevator was taking forever to descend. Anxious, he turned to the stairs, prepared to climb to the eighth floor.
Jiang Chuan could already guess what he was planning to do. He had long since sent the details of the "crime scene" to Sister Ning, and her reply was very simple.
"A pity I didn't get to see it."
The second brother likely wouldn't be able to dissipate his resentment on this trip. It wasn't because Sister Ning wouldn't comfort her younger brother, but because Jiang Chuan was about to hold a meeting for all members.
He wondered what kind of expression Shen Jincheng would have when he finally struggled up to the eighth floor only to see the meeting notice on his phone.
Jiang Chuan shook his head with a smile. He arrived at the meeting room and sat in the head seat. Through the company's main group chat, he notified everyone to gather for a meeting in the large meeting room on the first floor.
Shen Jincheng was full of resentment. Since the third brother was ignoring him, he could only go to his Older Sister to cry and complain. Although it wouldn't solve the problem, it was better than bottling it up.
He ran all the way to the eighth floor. The weather was already hot, and he was drenched in sweat from the exertion. He forced himself to the Vice General Manager's office and knocked, but no one was there.
He then went to the General Manager's office and knocked, but still, no one was there!
Scratching his head in confusion, he took out his phone to call his sister and ask where she was. Instead, he saw the message that had popped up in the company's main group.
[Jiang Chuan: Everyone, head to the large meeting room on the first floor for a meeting!]
[Shen Qingning: Received!]
[Tang Ke: Received!]
...Shen Jincheng's eyes went blank, sweat streaming down his face. The phone slipped from his hand and hit the floor. He felt like today was the unluckiest day of his life, and he stood there in a daze... Jiang Chuan didn't wait long before everyone arrived at the meeting room. After greeting him, they sat down obediently. Some employees who were still at school had already reported in the group chat.
What defines a young company? Do companies with twenty-something employees dare call themselves young? Starlight has no employees over thirty; now that is a truly young company!
Sun Huaze stood up to count the attendees. Looking at the list, he reported, "President Jiang, only the Younger President Shen hasn't arrived. Everyone else is here."
"No need to wait for him. Let the meeting begin!"
Just as Jiang Chuan was about to start, he heard a knock at the door. Shen Zhenzi crawled in and sat to his right, looking at him like a forsaken, bitter wife.
Clearing his throat and avoiding the other's gaze, he said, "Today, I went to A company or project name to discuss cooperation with their Chairman. Little Shen played a monumental role. Let's give him a round of applause!"
*Clap clap~*
...Seeing this, Shen Jincheng quickly stood up and bowed in thanks. The resentment in his heart dissipated quite a bit. Not going to lie, being looked at with admiration by others felt great!
Seeing that his "bitter wife" had recovered, Jiang Chuan waited for the applause to die down before scanning the room to officially begin the meeting.
"Currently, Starlight is on the right track, and our data is looking very good. Here, I want to sincerely thank everyone for your hard work."
After speaking, he stood up and gave a deep bow.
*Clap clap clap clap~*
This time, the applause lasted for a long while. The company was the result of all their hard work, and every one of them felt a sense of pride.
"Today is a commendation meeting, and also the first official round of personnel appointments."
Jiang Chuan sat back down and picked up the list in his hand to read:
"Shen Qingning is appointed as CEO with a 15% stake. Shen Jincheng is appointed as Vice General Manager with a 15% stake. Zhang Mingzhe and Pan Renxing each hold a 5% stake."
Shen Qingning looked at her brother. Seeing that he wasn't surprised at all, she knew this was the result of his discussion with their father, so she didn't object.
"Lin Shuyi is appointed as Vice General Manager, responsible for managing all Streamers. Tang Ke, Chu Jiaqi, Wang Jing, Xu Huaze, and Du Shaohui will serve as Directors for their respective departments. Does any department have any objections?"
"Report, President Jiang, I have an objection!"
Jiang Chuan looked at the speaker and asked with a smile, "What is your objection?"
Lin Wanjie stood up, pushed up his glasses, and argued defiantly, "I believe that in terms of both seniority and ability, I am more suited for the role of Director than Wang Jing."
Jiang Chuan nodded, flipped to the back of the list, and said, "Lin Wanjie, I have already discussed this with President Shen of A company or project name. You are being transferred back to A company or project name."
"President Jiang! My abilities can definitely help Starlight go further. Letting me be the Director would definitely be better than Wang Jing."
"Security!"
How could Lin Wanjie possibly leave at a time like this? He had wanted to leave before because he thought Starlight wouldn't amount to much, but in just half a month, it had become the largest streaming company in Falling City.
Returning to A company or project name, he would never have the chance to reach a Director position in his lifetime, and the competition was fierce. Starlight, however, was still flourishing. There was no need to even think about which one to choose.
"President Jiang! Please reconsider, I can definitely help Starlight!"
Lin Wanjie was dragged to the meeting room door by security. He gripped the doorframe tightly, shouting loudly.
His heart was filled with regret. If he had known Starlight would reach this point, he would have taken things seriously when he first arrived. Perhaps the Director position today would have been his.
That little girl, Wang Jing, had been nothing more than an ordinary employee under him at A company or project name.
Jiang Chuan waved his hand, signaling the security to close the door. If there's a carrot, there must be a stick. With his level of control over the company, a quick check would reveal who hadn't been putting in effort.
Lin Wanjie was the perfect candidate to "kill the chicken to warn the monkeys." He was indeed more skilled than Wang Jing, but what use was that if he wasn't obedient?
Jiang Chuan flipped back to the front of the list and continued, "These are all the current high-level executives of the company. There are still many vacant positions, which will be filled through merit-based promotions, just like with the Streamers."
"Director Tang, tell us about the company's current data."
"Yes, President Jiang!"
Tang Ke stood up and read from the prepared document:
"As of noon today, the Starlight App has reached 1.9 million downloads. We have distributed approximately six million yuan in activity funds, and the average number of concurrent users has reached 527,000."
"President Lin, tell us about the Streamer data."
Everyone waited for a long time, but no one stood up. They looked toward the leaders sitting at the front in confusion.
Shen Qingning reached out and patted Xiao Yi, who was sitting next to her with her chin in her hands, her mind wandering.
Lin Shuyi had heard him, of course, but she hadn't realized that "President Lin" was referring to her. Only after being patted by President Shen did she stand up in a panic.
"Reporting! Currently, there are 270,000 Streamers, and 1,473 have signed contracts."
Jiang Chuan nodded. She hadn't prepared at all, so being able to state these figures was already quite good.
"Director Chu, tell us about the company's financial situation."
"The company has 59.7 million yuan in its account. Due to the Streamer support plan, we have made a profit of 117,000 yuan over the past two weeks. Over 12,000 Streamers have passed the audit, with an estimated expenditure of 26 million yuan."
"Combined with advertising, salaries, and other expenses, the estimated loss for this month is sixty million yuan. Report finished!"
