Chapter 721 - 363: Taking the Opportunity to Splurge on the Girls
Second-Life Star.
Chen Jincheng and Lei Xiaojun had arrived at the film and television department.
When Sister Hong saw the two of them arrive, she immediately smiled and reported, "Boss, President Lei, we’ve captured the attention of all the gamers and drawn them to the Second Life Star Film and Television Network. This wave of attention has served as the official launch for the network, introducing it to the public."
The Second Life Star Film and Television Network was just as many netizens had speculated: a rebranded version of LeTV Film and Television, or rather, an integration with the Second Life Star Official Website.
Although the Second Life Star Official Website only had just over 13 million registered accounts, the majority of them were die-hard fans who followed Second-Life Star closely.
They were the foundation for the future short-form dramas.
Things were even better now. They could use the film and television network to conceal their true goal of producing short-form dramas. No one would see this coming, so when the official documents came down from above, they could drop the bombshell at a moment’s notice.
Chen Jincheng nodded. However, compared to the sales of *Damn It, I’m Surrounded by Beauties!*, Second-Life Star had more important matters to attend to.
Namely, the celebration banquet for the Hanfu sales. President Lei had originally come for this very reason. The Hanfu sales figures were so astonishing that the banquet had been specially postponed. Now that the game *Damn It, I’m Surrounded by Beauties!* had also become a massive hit, they decided to just hold one big, grand event for both, which would also be a great opportunity to showcase Second-Life Star’s prestige.
So, he was also very concerned about this and asked, "Sister Hong, are the arrangements for tonight’s celebration banquet finalized?"
Hearing this, Sister Hong nodded. "Everything’s arranged. It’s at the Feidun Hotel. We’ve booked their largest ballroom. We’ve notified not only our company’s artists but also our partner manufacturers, Vice President Fu and Miss Wei from the publicity association, and both Xue Qian and Eldest Young Master Wang said yesterday that they would come. We’ve also informed Lin Hao Media."
"Good." Chen Jincheng nodded, then took out two documents and handed them to President Lei. "President Lei, these are the documents for the two sets of bonuses we’ll be giving out at the celebration banquet. Let’s both sign them. We’ll hand out the money tonight and use the opportunity to generate another wave of buzz for *Damn It, I’m Surrounded by Beauties!*. That will ultimately draw even more attention to the Second Life Star Film and Television Network."
Lei Xiaojun took the documents, glanced over them, and signed his name.
The two documents concerned bonuses related to the Hanfu project and *Damn It, I’m Surrounded by Beauties!*.
First, President Chen was going to give out over 50 million yuan in rewards to the girls who did the video sales promotions, as well as employees like Wanxi from the design department and managers like Sister Hong.
As for the game department, since *Damn It, I’m Surrounded by Beauties!* was a huge success, he also planned to give each of the girls who starred in it an additional 2 million yuan bonus. The employees in the game department would receive a bonus as well.
Of course, the other employees at Second-Life Star would also receive a bonus of some amount.
Second-Life Star had been dealing with one major event after another recently, and many employees had been working overtime for a long time.
Therefore, tonight’s event was not just a celebration banquet, but also an operation to make it rain.
Lei Xiaojun naturally understood this. After all, when a company is growing rapidly and making money, it has to give its employees a taste of the sweetness. That’s how you cultivate a strong sense of belonging.
This was why, when comparing two supermarkets, employees at Yonghui Supermarket had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude, thinking, ’If you don’t want me, someone else will.’ But at Pang Donglai, employees felt, ’I want to work here until I retire.’
It was just that the amount of money President Chen was handing out this time was a bit much. After all, even regular employees were getting a one-time bonus of 50,000 yuan.
Wanxi and Jingshu, the two lead designers for the Hanfu, would each get 500,000 yuan. The other designers would receive 200,000 yuan each.
Although the game department’s bonuses were a bit less, the person in charge would still get 200,000 yuan, and regular employees would also get 50,000 yuan.
As for the other regular employees in the company, everyone’s bonus was 20,000 yuan. Even the cleaning staff got a 5,000 yuan bonus.
This was an incredibly generous move by any company’s standards. No other company would do something like this.
But considering the results Second-Life Star had achieved with these two projects, it seemed justifiable.
After all, the success achieved this time by the video sales promotions and *Damn It, I’m Surrounded by Beauties!* was simply enormous.
Moreover, *Damn It, I’m Surrounded by Beauties!* was currently a trending topic. If news of these bonuses got out, it would definitely attract attention, generate more discussion and buzz, and surely entice more people to buy the game. This, in turn, would further promote the Second Life Star Film and Television Network.
’Truly, when it comes to short-form video marketing and promotion, no one can compare to President Chen.’
’One step links to the next; no action is wasted. Everything ultimately turns into profit.’
’The key is that splurging this much money and letting it become public knowledge is the best possible advertisement for Second-Life Star. It shows everyone the company’s generosity and vision, which in turn will attract even more talent.’
’It’s just that after this, I’m afraid even more pretty girls will want to become a Miss Cheng. I just don’t know if President Chen’s body can handle it. I really don’t want him to die an early death.’
’After all, the bonuses for those ’Miss Chengs’ this time are terrifyingly high.’
In reality, Chen Jincheng had his own selfish reasons in this regard.
Emotionally, he was selfish. Because he was Feng Xin, he couldn’t offer any of the girls a real relationship. Yet, he was a man who appreciated beautiful things, and the girls were all gorgeous, with great figures—well-endowed chests and shapely behinds. As someone who appreciated beauty, he found it hard to resist its temptations.
The key was that these girls were all very obedient.
At the very least, they never caused him any trouble. When they were actually together, they took very good care of him, allowing him to experience a life fit for an emperor.
So, this was also a perfectly reasonable opportunity to reward them.
