Chapter 255: Chapter 165: Hurry Up, Time is Tight and the Task is Heavy
’Wouldn’t the effect be even better if he just gave them away as gifts?’
But Wang Sichao didn’t voice this question. Gao Yuan had asked him to help with *buying*, and logically speaking, Gao Yuan wasn’t the type of person who lacked a grand vision.
That meant Gao Yuan had his own plans for this.
Fortunately, the whole set of skincare products and the bag weren’t that expensive. With his connections, plenty of Hollywood stars would be willing to do him a favor.
Even so, Wang Sichao didn’t make any grand promises or give Gao Yuan a firm guarantee. Instead, he pondered for a moment before saying, "Brother Yuan, I’ll have my people look into this, but I can’t guarantee every Hollywood star will agree to do it."
"However, I can definitely arrange things on the domestic front."
"I’ll get started on it right away."
With Wang Sichao’s promise, Gao Yuan felt a bit more at ease. At the end of the call, he said directly to Wang Sichao, "If you’re free this weekend, come visit Hang City. We can talk more then."
"You got it!"
Wang Sichao agreed readily this time. He understood the subtext in Gao Yuan’s words; this invitation to Hang City definitely wasn’t just for fun.
’Talk more,’ huh? ’It’s most likely about that matter I brought up last time.’
After hanging up, Gao Yuan synched up with Ma Yiming and the others at the company, telling them to contact their hired online promoters ahead of time and personally prepare the related marketing copy.
As soon as there was any movement from Hollywood, they needed to immediately follow up with their domestic marketing campaign.
Meanwhile, after Wang Sichao hung up, he leisurely strolled into an office.
Inside the enormous office, sitting behind a mahogany desk, was none other than Old Wang.
Wang Sichao had stepped out just now to take Gao Yuan’s call. He’d originally thought Gao Yuan was just calling to hang out, but to his surprise, they had ended up talking business.
And now, he felt he was on the verge of successfully investing in Yuanfang Company.
"Dad, can you free up some funds for me before the end of the month?"
Wang Sichao said, looking at Old Wang, who was sitting behind the desk and beginning to show his age.
"No money."
"We just weathered a crisis. Don’t you know how tight things are at the company right now?"
Old Wang glanced up at his only son.
He was actually quite satisfied with his son. To the outside world, Wang Sichao might seem like an unscholarly playboy who flitted from one woman to the next, but he knew his son was actually very capable.
At the very least, he was more outstanding than the children of many other families.
"What do you need the money for?"
"I recall you still having three hundred million on hand."
Wang Sichao got up, walked over to Old Wang’s desk, and leaned against it. He looked at his father and said seriously, "I’ve found a company I’m interested in. I want to buy a stake."
"Oh?"
"And which company has managed to catch the eye of the great Eldest Young Master Wang?"
Old Wang heard his son say he’d found a company he wanted to invest in.
The key point was that the three hundred million his son had wasn’t even enough. This piqued his curiosity. He leaned back in his chair and looked at Wang Sichao.
"Yuanfang Company."
Wang Sichao said it plainly. Seeing the blank look on Old Wang’s face, he added another sentence.
"It’s the GY brand. They make skincare products."
Now Old Wang understood.
"Oh, that skincare brand that was really popular on TikTok for a while, right?"
"Is it worth paying such a high price to get in?"
"I thought domestic skincare brands weren’t very good."
Old Wang mused doubtfully, as if talking to himself but also asking Wang Sichao.
"It’s precisely *because* domestic skincare brands aren’t good that we have to invest in them."
"Their product is just that good—better than all those foreign brands."
"Just you watch. It won’t be long before they take off like a rocket, and nothing will be able to stop them."
Old Wang grew thoughtful.
Then, he picked up the documents on his desk again, but as he did, he muttered something under his breath.
"I’ll free up five hundred million for you by the end of the month."
Wang Sichao left, satisfied. After his son was gone, however, Old Wang made a phone call.
’It seems I need to take a good look into this Yuanfang Company,’ he thought.
Meanwhile, at the Li Family residence in the Xixi Yunlu Villa District.
After seeing Li Mengqing off and watching Gao Yuan drive away, Li Lin also returned home.
He had just stepped inside when he heard Li Yu, who was sitting on the sofa playing on his phone, say, "Dad’s calling for you."
Li Lin smiled at his third brother and then headed for the study on the third floor.
He knocked on the door and entered the study.
Li Tianqi glanced at his son. "You’ve spoken to Xiaoqing?"
"I have."
"Did you meet that Gao Yuan?"
"I did. He’s a good man, worthy of Xiaoqing’s trust."
Li Tianqi nodded in satisfaction.
He was very pleased with his eldest son. The young man was methodical, knew his place, and put his mind at ease.
「At the same time」
After explaining the matter to his team at the company, Gao Yuan called out to Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing, "Darlings, I’m here!"
With that, he pounced on the two of them on the sofa.
Once again, he rested his head on Lin Wanyu’s lap and put his feet up on Li Mengqing.
"Darlings, get out your phones."
Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing looked at Gao Yuan, not quite understanding what he was up to.
’Does he want to check our phones?’
Seeing them staring blankly, Gao Yuan urged them again, "Quick, quick! Time is tight and the mission is critical."
Although Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing didn’t understand what Gao Yuan was doing, they both took out their phones and looked at him expectantly.
"Open TikTok."
"Find the store."
...
By the time Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing finished following Gao Yuan’s instructions, they realized he was having them make the first sales.
The two of them had successfully made the first sales for the GY National Style Bag.
Breaking the zero was exactly what Gao Yuan wanted. Otherwise, it would be awkward for so many users to see a sales count of zero. Anyone thinking of placing an order would hesitate.
They would think, ’If no one else is buying it, would I be a huge idiot for buying it?’
So, Gao Yuan had Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing be those "huge idiots."
That way, other "huge idiots" would bravely follow suit and buy, buy, buy!
Besides, wasn’t it perfectly normal for his own women to have a bag from his own brand?
The money wasn’t going to someone else, either; it was just going back into his own pocket.
After all that was done, just as the three of them were about to go shower, Gao Yuan’s phone suddenly rang. Lying on Lin Wanyu’s lap, he picked it up, and the sight of the caller ID scared him so much he almost dropped the phone on his face.
