Sitting in Kong Lingqiu’s simply decorated office, Hao Yunyang smiled and said, “Looking at your radiant face, you seem to be living quite comfortably, right?”
“Not bad,” Kong Lingqiu smiled modestly. “The company now has over twenty computers, and after renovating the three floors below, we’ll add another hundred computers. We already have three teams, and I’m working on developing a new software. Once the employees get through the adjustment period, I plan to create some office software…”
“Just keep these things in mind; there’s no need to explain so thoroughly to me,” Hao Yunyang laughed and asked, “Besides these, are there any other problems you need help solving?”
“Not at the moment,” Kong Lingqiu shook his head and lowered his voice, “Does the organization need me to do something?”
“Hehe, you’re still in the seedling stage. When you grow into a towering tree, the organization won’t hesitate to ask you to do things,” Hao Yunyang laughed, patting Kong Lingqiu’s shoulder. “So, your current task is to reasonably use all the resources at hand, quickly develop the company. Don’t think about anything else, and don’t feel pressured by the organization’s help, understand?”
“Mm,” Kong Lingqiu nodded heavily, then stammered, “That, I bought a car the other day…”
“Oh? What car?” Hao Yunyang asked with a smile.
“An Audi worth over 500,000,” Kong Lingqiu scratched his head. “Is that okay?”
Hao Yunyang looked at Kong Lingqiu seriously for a long time before speaking: “Lingqiu, remember, your money is your personal money, not mine, not the organization’s. The organization just provides you a path to success. You are still you, and you don’t need to live for the organization. The organization doesn’t want you to live for it either. Be yourself. Everything is yours, and neither the organization nor I will touch a single penny. Do you understand?”
“Really?” Kong Lingqiu looked at Hao Yunyang nervously, still harboring a trace of unreal suspicion. During this time, Kong Lingqiu had been living in a dream, unable to comprehend whether the Jiuxiao Organization was truly a selfless organization. Could such a pure organization exist in this world?!
“Really,” Hao Yunyang nodded heavily, speaking earnestly: “You know the organization’s principles, so I won’t say more. Just be yourself, do what you need to do. When the organization needs your effort, I’ll naturally convey it to you. Besides that, you can come to me if you encounter any problems. Don’t keep any pressure inside. Believe in yourself, believe in me, and believe in the organization.”
“I understand,” the trace of suspicion in Kong Lingqiu’s eyes finally disappeared, and a cautious smile emerged from the bottom of his heart. He nodded lightly at Hao Yunyang: “I really understand.”
“Good that you understand,” Hao Yunyang laughed. “Let’s leave it at that. Do a good job with your current tasks. I need to go; I have some things to take care of.”
“Mm, I’ll see you off,” Kong Lingqiu nodded and smiled, standing up and seemingly walking side by side with Hao Yunyang, but actually a small step behind. After seeing Hao Yunyang off to the parking lot and watching him drive away, Kong Lingqiu whispered to himself, “Be myself.
In the future, these technical materials will definitely not be worth much, because anyone can easily obtain comprehensive information about these patents through the internet!
But now, for Hao Yunyang, these things are priceless treasures! It’s only 2010, and the technical materials Hao Yunyang has in hand might not even have a clue at the Liu family right now!
Seeing these things, Hao Yunyang clearly understood one fact: he had grabbed another thick lifeline.
“Liu family,” he chuckled casually after a brief review, Hao Yunyang smiled calmly and took out his phone to dial Liu Xueying’s phone number, and the time was one twenty in the afternoon.
For Du Yanyun’s call, Liu Xueying was already prepared, because everyone in the Liu family didn’t believe that Hao Yunyang, or the person behind him, would disappear after helping the Liu family twice. If he chose to help, he must have something to gain!
However, although she already knew that Hao Yunyang would definitely find her again, when Liu Xueying heard that Hao Yunyang wanted to meet with the Liu family’s elders and young leaders, she couldn’t help but be startled. What exactly was Hao Yunyang trying to do?!
But the curiosity overwhelmed her doubts. After a moment of contemplation, Liu Xueying nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll notify the family elders right away. Where do you want to meet?”
“Just at the Liu family villa complex, any villa will do,” Hao Yunyang said with a faint smile. “Let me know before five o’clock in the evening.”
“Okay,” Liu Xueying nodded and agreed, then began to contact the family elders. After hanging up the phone, Hao Yunyang started searching through the patent technical materials and finally selected three patents, all applied in 2012, spanning two years from now. Technically, they shouldn’t differ much from the present, but for the Liu family, this was undoubtedly an irresistible bait.
With the previous two incidents as a foundation, Hao Yunyang’s persuasion seemed to have become much easier.
“Alas,” he encrypted the selected technical materials, Hao Yunyang sighed lightly, “When will I stop having to attract members by bluffing to strengthen Jiuxiao?
Oh,
“Oh, okay.” Zhao Chenxin was also stunned by Hao Yunyang’s phone call, but hearing his urgent tone, she didn’t ask any more questions. She nodded decisively and began to pack up the items on her desk. After hurriedly organizing her things, she picked up her bag and stood up.
“Chenxin, where are you going?” Just as Zhao Chenxin was carrying her bag out of the office, she ran into Liu Ming, who was walking with his hands behind his back. Seeing her hurried appearance, Liu Ming couldn’t help but ask.
“Yunyang called me downstairs,” Zhao Chenxin glanced at Liu Ming and smiled before leaving without looking back.
“Yunyang is back?” Liu Ming, who was watching Chenxin leave, slightly raised and then lowered his eyebrows, muttering to himself, “I’ll tell him about the company’s situation tonight. In another one or two months, we’ll have our own office building.”
The popularity of Jiuxiao Weike far exceeded Liu Ming’s expectations. On the first day of its official launch, over 20,000 freelancers had registered, with more than 8,400 ultimately passing the review and becoming junior freelancers. Dropping over 10,000 unqualified applicants didn’t cause much negative impact; instead, it sparked interest among many designers who had been hesitant.
In just three days, over 30,000 junior freelancers had been approved, with numbers continuing to grow by 700 to 1,000 daily.
The gathering of excellent designers naturally increased employers’ trust in Jiuxiao Weike, with daily project postings exceeding 1,000.
Mu Hitong and others had firmly secured positions in Jiuxiao Weike’s top ten, and Sun Lili had even become the platform’s first senior freelancer just the day before yesterday!
Mu Botong, Quan Wei, and others followed closely. It was expected that within the next two days, they would also become senior freelancers, qualifying for high-level projects.
Moreover, Jiuxiao Weike’s initial project level design played a significant role. While junior projects dominated in quantity, mid-level projects were also common. More importantly, at around 3 PM yesterday, Jiuxiao Weike welcomed its first high-level project since launch!
It was a high-level project for designing product packaging, with a commission of 40,000 yuan, breaking the record for the highest commission in online graphic design.
