Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 787 - 298: Yang Xintian’s Phone Call

"Follow my instructions, why are you still dawdling?" Sun Dasheng gave his cousin a kick.

Though he’s the mighty CEO of a billion-dollar enterprise outside, in front of Sun Dasheng, he’s like a quail.

"Alright, bro." Sun Dacheng couldn’t persuade his cousin and had to comply.

After all, he’s the real boss of this company.

"Wait a minute." Sun Dasheng suddenly remembered something.

"What’s the matter now?" Sun Dacheng asked.

"Does your company have engineers familiar with programming and software development?" Sun Dasheng asked.

"Huh? Why do we need that? Can’t we just spend money to outsource the software?" Sun Dacheng was full of doubts.

These days, there’s a mature industry chain for outsourcing, and if you’re willing to spend money, the end product of the app won’t be inferior to those from big companies on the market, so there’s no need to trouble yourself recruiting people for development.

Why would an entertainment company gather a bunch of network engineers?

"What if the software encounters problems in the future?" Sun Dasheng asked.

"We can contact them; they’re responsible for after-sales service too." Sun Dacheng said as a matter of course.

Seeing this, Sun Dasheng immediately withdrew the idea of letting him be in charge of this app.

Clearly, expertise matters, and he was thinking too simply.

With his approach, the app’s operation might end up worse than those acquired by the Alibaba Group.

The example of Alibaba is right there: buy them, and they die, mainly because the companies they acquired had their original management wiped out entirely and replaced with their own people. Their own people are usable, but they’re not professional, so one acquisition killed one; it’s really absurd.

"Alright, you go back, I have other arrangements for this matter, but your company’s micro short dramas plan can be put on the agenda now, increase the quantity from before." Sun Dasheng waved.

Sun Dacheng instantly smiled broadly, he wasn’t optimistic about this project anyway, and he was rather glad not to manage it.

"Bro, rest assured, I’ll go back and hold a meeting right away to implement your request." Sun Dacheng promised, patting his chest.

"Okay, how many micro short dramas did the company plan for this year?" Sun Dasheng asked.

"Seems like a few dozen." Sun Dacheng recalled and answered.

Before, he could definitely mention the exact number, accurate to the single digits, but recently the company’s attention has mostly shifted to movies and TV dramas, so naturally, the focus on micro short dramas isn’t as high as before.

So he only knew an approximate figure.

Sun Dasheng didn’t blame him either; after all, he understood that the bigger the company, the stricter the requirements for top management.

Sun Dacheng’s current performance has actually exceeded his expectations.

"Too few, add a zero at the end of that number." Sun Dasheng casually suggested a number.

"What? That’s way too much to increase all at once!" Sun Dacheng was stunned.

"Then what do you think is suitable? You’re the professional, I’ll listen to you." Sun Dasheng didn’t insist; for professional matters, one should listen to professionals.

Need to heed advice!

"It’s unrealistic to expect the company’s workforce to switch entirely to micro short dramas all at once, it’ll need gradual transition, plus recruiting and training anew, increasing micro short dramas by double this year is a more feasible number." Sun Dacheng counted on his fingers.

"Alright then, what about the shortage of micro short dramas by then?"

"We can spend money to buy them."

"Are you sure you can buy them?"

"Definitely can."

"Then why did I hear most companies making short dramas have cooperation agreements with several major platforms?" Sun Dasheng’s concerns weren’t unfounded.

"Indeed, but those are industry-leading big companies; like our company previously had collaborations with the Douyin Series, Taobao Series, Baidu Series, and Tencent Series. Their platforms also enjoy custom-made dramas from leading companies because they are quality assured."

Sun Dacheng explained.

"So, are you planning to buy shoddy products from small workshops?" Sun Dasheng felt a bit of a headache.

"Isn’t that how it should be? We have a free app; viewers don’t need to pay to watch, do they have the right to be picky?" Sun Dacheng said confidently.

Alright, there’s some truth to that.

Initially, this approach might work, but it should not be executed as the company’s strategic goal; eventually, the path to premium micro short dramas must be pursued.

"Alright, I’ll follow your suggestion." Sun Dacheng, though he didn’t quite understand, knew when to speak and how.

Now wasn’t the time to question.

"Yes, it’s inevitable initially, but don’t let subpar micro short dramas dominate; half should be Star Point Media’s premium micro short dramas, and the other half purchased from small workshops."

"Alright, you need to discuss this with the person in charge of the app." Sun Dacheng reminded.

This matter is not under my management.

Seeing him trying hard to distance himself, Sun Dasheng found it amusing; he’ll have regrets later.

If this free micro short drama app is well done, it actually holds great potential.

Who should be tasked to manage this matter?

Sun Dasheng pondered for quite a while, then suddenly received a WeChat message.

"Uncle, my brother-in-law invites you to a wedding feast." Sender: Yang Xintian.

Turns out it’s this little girl.

A non-mainstream girl with a motorbike and dreadlocks instantly appeared in his mind.

Not all that little, she should be in her third year of university now, right?

Her brother-in-law is precisely his old classmate, whom he assigned to manage the milk tea chain brand.
