They surrounded me right after the breakup.

In the executive lounge, the light from the crystal chandelier cascades down onto the champagne tower.

Jiang Han and Liu Meng had just seen off Mr. Wang, who worked in the apparel supply chain.

I haven't had time to change the cup yet.

A middle-aged man wearing a dark blue striped suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked over with a wine glass in his hand.

It's the person who stood next to President Liu for a long time just now.

"Mr. Jiang, hello, my name is Chen Jiarui."

Chen Jiarui handed over the business card with both hands.

"I am the founder of Jiaming Media. I apologize for disturbing you!"

"Because I just heard from President Liu that Xingyue has just acquired Wangyue Culture and officially entered the short video market."

"I think we might have an opportunity to collaborate."

Jiang Han took the business card and glanced at it.

President of Jiaming Media: Chen Jiarui.

"Mr. Chen, you didn't just come here to introduce yourself, did you?"

"Speak your mind directly; I prefer straightforward people."

Chen Jiarui was stunned for a moment.

I was originally going to say a few words about industry trends, but Jianghan went straight to the point.

He gave a wry smile to himself and condensed his prepared long speech into a few sentences.

"President Jiang, our company mainly focuses on live-streaming e-commerce for beauty products, and we have currently reached a strategic partnership with Taobao Live."

"In the future, we plan to collaborate with hundreds of L'Oréal counters and thousands of beauty consultants across the country to conduct a nationwide selection process to identify the most promising livestreamers and provide them with focused support."

"So, I'd like to attract investment from you."

"I believe that e-commerce live streaming is likely to be the next big trend."

Jiang Han picked up his wine glass but did not answer immediately.

His gaze passed over Chen Jiarui's shoulder and landed on a young man standing in front of a live broadcast light not far away.

Li Jiaqi!!!

Jiang Han silently recited this in his heart.

In his past life, he had seen this face countless times on his phone screen.

Although I don't really like the other party's way of selling products.

However, it must be admitted that Li Jiaqi is a rare talent in the industry.

Dedicated, hardworking, and professional.

As a man, he has tried thousands of lipsticks on his own lips.

This will make the majority of women willingly open their wallets.

In just a few years, she went from working at a L'Oréal counter to becoming a top-tier livestreamer on the entire internet.

The livestream generated over 100 million yuan in sales in a single session, with peak viewership exceeding 10 million.

The king of lipsticks, with countless brands lining up to offer their products and secure prime locations.

She graced the cover of the "Most Commercially Valuable Influencer of the Year" list that year.

Jiang Han picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

I couldn't hold back my laughter any longer.

What's the difference between this and giving money?

The secret thrill of information asymmetry is more addictive than making money itself.

Jiang Han withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Chen Jiarui.

He probably has no idea how much the young men around him will be worth in the future.

"Is that person over there also a streamer from your company?"

Jiang Han asked tentatively.

Chen Jiarui followed Jiang Han's gaze.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

"His name is Li Jiaqi. He is a beauty consultant at the L'Oréal counter and one of our first batch of live-streaming sales hosts."

"This young man is very hardworking. He always tries lipsticks directly on his lips and never uses the back of his hand instead."

"Last time I tried dozens of shades, and my lips were all swollen, but I still went live as usual the next day."

"It's just that he speaks too fast, and the audience doesn't even have time to send comments."

"I need to practice more."

Chen Jiarui smiled, his tone carrying a unique sense of helplessness that comes with mentoring a newcomer.

Jiang Han shook his head: "Speaking fast is not a disadvantage."

"The core of e-commerce live streaming is information density and trust conversion."

"As long as you can clearly explain the core selling points of the product, that's fine."

Jiang Han did not specify.

Live-streaming e-commerce is essentially about capturing the audience's emotions.

Capture people's desire to buy and get them to place an order in the most direct way.

Chen Jiarui paused for a moment and looked at Li Jiaqi not far away.

He originally came to attract investment, but now he feels more like a student being guided by a senior.

"Jiaming's current model is GG plus commission, but in the future it should move towards its own brand."

"President Liu should be well aware of this as well."

Liu Meng stood beside Jiang Han, listening quietly from beginning to end.

She noticed the pride in Chen Jiarui's tone when he mentioned Li Jiaqi.

What's even more noticeable is the change in Jiang Han's eyes.

From the moment Chen Jiarui handed him his business card, he remained listless.

I wasn't very interested.

However, after seeing Li Jiaqi, he perked up completely.

Liu Meng tugged at Jiang Han's arm.

He asked the question in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"You're not planning to acquire Jiaming Media too, are you?"

Jiang Han turned to the side: "I already have you, what do I need them for?"

"what?"

The double entendre threw Liu Mengfang into a state of utter confusion.

I'm here for you!!!

Jianghan has me in his heart!

She even instinctively avoided another, more appropriate explanation.

Jiang Han paused for a moment, then said, "But I am indeed somewhat interested."

He then turned to Chen Jiarui: "Tell me your needs."

Chen Jiarui took a deep breath, his nervousness visibly evident.

Compared to Xingyue Media, his company is like a small karaomis.

But Chen Jiarui believed in Jiang Han's character.

He had a keen eye for talent, discovering many accomplished singers.

Even when others are pessimistic, we should still invest firmly in animation and science fiction films.

All of this demonstrates that President Jiang has always had his own unique insights.

"Jiaming is currently in dire need of funds, and I want to integrate the supply chain."

"But without financial support, and with a long training period for streamers, it's difficult to make a profit in the short term."

"President Jiang, I came to the party hoping to try my luck."

Jianghan got straight to the point.

"How much capital do you need, and how many shares are you willing to give up?"

"1000 million, 15% equity."

As Chen Jiarui announced the numbers, he rubbed his fingers back and forth along the seam of his trousers.

"30 percent, I can consider it."

Chen Jiarui's expression froze.

"President Jiang, this ratio is too high."

"The other shareholders... probably won't agree."

"If they disagree, then go and persuade them!"

Jiang Han's attitude was very tough.

He certainly doesn't lack money, and from a future-oriented perspective, this deal is very worthwhile.

But Jianghan still doesn't want to disrupt market dynamics.

"15% stake for 1000 million?"

"Does Mr. Chen think the Jiaming is worth the price now?"

"Did a third party value you at 6500 million?"

"You talked about a lot of plans, which were quite interesting."

"However, when I invest real money, I value performance even more!"

"What's the difference between having only a business plan and talking about dreams with a PowerPoint presentation?"

Chen Jiarui wanted to say something, but found himself speechless.

The company's live streamers are still in the incubation stage, and the supply chain has not yet been established.

We simply don't have the data to match the valuation.

He stood there, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Jiang Han stopped pressing the issue and took the business card from Liu Meng.

Turn it over and write down your phone number.

"To be honest, I'm interested in your project, but it's expensive."

"Once you shareholders have discussed it among yourselves and reached a consensus, then you can talk to me again."
