Chapter 195: Mature For Oneself, Help Others Achieve Success!
Cooperation for mutual benefit, the reward for this task is quite generous.
Among all the tasks Jiang Tao has triggered before.
Only Jiang Yi’s triggered “Know people and use them well” can be compared to it.
In addition to the 5 million cash reward, there are also rewards for physique, charm value, and health value!
Moreover, normal business profits can be doubled using Monopoly Dice!
The doubled amount will not be counted towards the task quota, a rule Jiang Tao can understand.
If the doubled profit were also counted towards the task quota.
With a bit of luck, only about two hundred thousand would need to be earned to complete the task.
Even without doubling, this task presents no difficulty for Jiang Tao!
Earning 1 million within a year, if it were before last year when he found the Daily Intelligence System, Jiang Tao wouldn’t even dare to dream of it.
Let alone earning 1 million in a year, earning 1 million in 10 years would be tough, the task difficulty can be described as hellish!
But now, it’s completely insignificant, not even considered easy difficulty!
With all the various resources he has at hand and his nest egg of over ten million.
If he can’t even earn 1 million within a year, that would be truly outrageous.
“Accept!”
Jiang Tao accepted the task with a single thought.
Hesitating for even a second would be a betrayal of the “Cooperate for Mutual Benefit” task!
【You have accepted the task, wishing you early completion!】
Seeing the prompt for successfully accepting the task, Jiang Tao felt a surge of elation.
This trip to Panjiayuan today was not in vain!
His nest egg increased by 1.37 million, and he triggered a high-quality system task with a reward of up to 5 million.
If he could be as lucky as Jiang Tao every day, earning a hundred million in a year wouldn’t be an issue!
“Huh, Brother Jiang? What’s wrong, have you been working too hard lately?”
Seeing Jiang Tao suddenly spacing out, Zhang Bo smiled and waved his hand in front of him, teasing him.
“Hahaha, with a beautiful wife at home, goji berries can’t help. Brother Jiang needs to take care of his health.”
Li Ming also laughed heartily and teased Jiang Tao upon seeing this.
Hearing his buddies’ voices, Jiang Tao closed the system interface with a thought, his mind returning to the present.
“You two unmarried kids don’t know anything. Brother is terrifyingly strong right now.”
Jiang Tao didn’t get angry at their teasing and smiled as he looked at Li Ming, saying:
“By the way, Li Ming, were you serious about the investment and shareholding you mentioned earlier, or were you just joking?”
“Oh? Brother Jiang is interested in this project?”
Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Li Ming put away his joking demeanor, his expression becoming serious.
Because his father had to withdraw funds from the car dealership to invest in the project.
He was also living frugally, and indeed needed a sum of money for turnover.
If he could secure an investment, it would greatly help his current situation.
Of course, Li Ming always adhered to the principle of “better to have none than to have the wrong thing” regarding his car dealership’s financing.
He would not accept funds from people he didn’t know or understand.
The car dealership’s revenue had always been stable, representing a valuable asset for Li Ming’s family.
If they accidentally “let a wolf into the house,” it would be very difficult to get rid of it later.
However, if close friends like Jiang Tao and Zhang Bo wanted to invest and take shares, he would definitely welcome it with open arms.
Jiang Tao smiled, “I happen to have some spare money on hand. If you’re short on cash, I’ll invest some for you.”
“Brother Jiang, you’re my real brother! I’m short on cash lately, brother! How much can Brother Jiang invest?”
Seeing that Jiang Tao wasn’t joking, Li Ming’s face lit up with joy.
“Not a lot, but five to six million is available.”
Jiang Tao still had to reserve 5 million for his father-in-law’s former unit investment.
So, he stated a relatively conservative figure.
“That’s enough! 6 million is enough for me to get by for a while!”
Upon hearing the figure from Jiang Tao, Li Ming’s eyes lit up.
The money Jiang Tao was investing could only account for about 10% of their family’s car dealership shares at most.
This shareholding ratio put Li Ming at ease.
“Then prepare the materials. If my financial assessment is satisfactory, the funds can be in place at any time.”
In business, Jiang Tao was confident in this cooperation, but the necessary steps could not be skipped.
Investing in projects sounds simple, but there are many intricacies involved.
The financier first needs to draft a business plan, followed by a financial forecast report including historical financial data.
There are also investment analysis reports and legal compliance documents.
After all, it’s an investment project of over 6 million. Even with good friends, one cannot be careless.
There are too many cases of brothers falling out over profit-sharing disagreements.
When friends cooperate in business, it’s essential to clarify things in advance.
Draw up all the rules beforehand and strictly adhere to them.
This is to avoid damaging the friendship due to profit distribution issues and losing a friend altogether.
Li Ming nodded, “Okay! Within two days, I’ll have everything ready!”
Jiang Tao smiled, “No need to be so rushed. Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival holiday, isn’t it?
I plan to take my family back to my hometown. We can discuss this after the holiday.”
“Okay! Brother Jiang, you call the shots. We’ll talk after the holiday then.”
Li Ming wasn’t that anxious for the funds and readily agreed with a hearty laugh.
“Zhang Bo, do you want to invest some too? Let’s three brothers do this together.”
Li Ming looked at Zhang Bo and gestured with his chin with a smile.
Zhang Bo shrugged, “I’m just an employee working for my dad. My monthly salary isn’t even enough for me to spend.”
“You kid, stop crying poor! If you don’t want to invest, don’t. Your buddy isn’t forcing you.”
Li Ming playfully tapped Zhang Bo with his finger. He was just asking casually; whether Zhang Bo invested or not wouldn’t affect their friendship.
“God knows, I’m not pretending to be poor, I’m genuinely poor!”
Zhang Bo’s monthly salary plus commission exceeded 50,000 yuan, which wasn’t low in a big city like the Capital City.
However, compared to bosses who owned their own car dealerships like Li Ming, it was indeed lacking.
Li Ming could earn almost his monthly salary by selling just one used luxury car.
Listening to Zhang Bo lament his poverty, Jiang Tao suddenly had an idea.
A thought rapidly took shape in his mind.
Could he poach Zhang Bo to his MCN company and turn him into an internet celebrity treasure appraisal streamer?
Even if he couldn’t reach the level of popularity of “Ting Quan Treasure Appraisal,”
achieving moderate popularity would yield considerable income for the year!
Moreover, if this endeavor were successful, he would also be considered Zhang Bo’s “Bole.”
Their friendship would undoubtedly become even stronger, and their friendship value would be higher!
With this thought, Jiang Tao activated the “Bole” skill with a thought and looked at Zhang Bo, who was chatting and laughing with Li Ming.
【Name】: Zhang Bo
【Talent】: Fiery Eyes
【Professional Direction】: Appraiser （Five-star） Auction House （Three-star）.
Jiang Tao’s intention to sign him to his company as a streamer was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Zhang Bo genuinely possessed the talent for this profession.
After investing a certain amount of resources to support him, he would definitely generate even greater returns in the future!
“By the way, Zhang Bo, I’m preparing to launch an MCN company. Are you interested in joining us?”
Jiang Tao hesitated for a moment before extending an olive branch to Zhang Bo.
“Hahaha, I appreciate your kindness, Brother Jiang, but I really can’t. I’m not cut out for this at all.”
Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s invitation, Zhang Bo waved his hand in refusal without a second thought.
Although he chatted and laughed casually with Jiang Tao and Li Ming, appearing at ease.
Every time he faced a camera, he felt extremely unnatural and awkward!
Zhang Bo often watched “Ting Quan Treasure Appraisal” on Kuaidou.
He could identify some of the antiques that appeared in the live stream.
But asking him to talk incessantly like the streamer would be worse than killing him.
Zhang Bo’s family had been in the antique business for three generations.
Their family had a deep heritage in antiques, so their knowledge base was definitely not an issue.
With a little training and cultivation, and some resources to help with traffic and exposure.
He would undoubtedly become an excellent treasure appraisal streamer!
Jiang Tao was extremely confident about this!
With the “Bole” skill at his disposal, he had never misjudged anyone before.
“How do you know you can’t do it if you haven’t tried?”
“Your professional knowledge is definitely not an issue. You just lack confidence and practice.”
Jiang Tao naturally wouldn’t easily give up on such an excellent talent as Zhang Bo and continued to try and recruit him.
“Besides, joining our company won’t affect your daytime job.”
“During the day, you can do whatever you need to do at your shop.”
“The only difference from now will be that I’ll arrange a professional director to assist you with your daily live streams.”
“No, Brother Jiang, I really can’t. I’m like an idiot when I stream, my brain doesn’t work. I’m really not cut out for this.”
Zhang Bo repeatedly shook his hands in refusal. He knew his own capabilities very well and believed that agreeing to Brother Jiang would only lead to Brother Jiang being disappointed.
“I think you’re exactly the right person for this job! Kid, aren’t you known as Panjiayuan’s ‘Little Ting Quan’? How are you worse than Ting Quan Treasure Appraisal?”
“Is your professional knowledge inferior to his, or is your appearance inferior to his?”
Seeing that a straightforward invitation wasn’t working, Jiang Tao resorted to using provocation.
As expected, Zhang Bo showed a hesitant expression upon hearing Jiang Tao’s provocation.
His family had been in the antique business for three generations, and he had been influenced by it since childhood.
While his professional knowledge might not surpass his father’s, it should be comparable to that of the Ting Quan Treasure Appraisal streamer.
As for his appearance…
Zhang Bo was also confident that he didn’t look worse than Ting Quan Treasure Appraisal.
“No one is born walking or running.”
“Everyone starts by sitting, then learns to crawl, then stand, walk, and run.”
“When you see others excelling, you’re only seeing the surface.”
“A minute on stage requires three years of practice off stage.”
“Those top streamers with tens or hundreds of millions of fans online, didn’t they all grow from being nobodies?”
Jiang Tao’s words struck Zhang Bo like thunder.
It was as if a hammer had hit Zhang Bo on the head, instantly waking him up!
That’s right!
He had completely given up and negated himself after trying to stream for less than ten days; it was indeed too hasty!
“Brother Jiang is right! Zhang Bo, I think you really should try the path of becoming a treasure appraisal streamer.”
“Our car dealership’s sales streamers were nothing special at first either.”
“When they first started streaming, they were all stiff and wooden, like puppets.”
“Now, they can talk non-stop, completely letting loose.”
“What you need to do now is open yourself up, let loose, and discard your pride and shame.”
Li Ming’s car dealership also had several car sales streamers, so he had some experience in live streaming.
“Li Ming is absolutely right. Open yourself up, let go of shame, and introverts will slowly become extroverts.”
Jiang Tao smiled, “Our company is currently in a phase of recruiting talent. If you join, you’ll be one of our pioneers.”
“Regarding salary, I definitely won’t treat you unfairly. For now, a guaranteed salary of 20,000 is a start, don’t think it’s too little.”
“Once your account takes off, we can even do an 80/20 split.”
The treatment Jiang Tao offered Li Ming was much higher than what ordinary MCN companies offered their signed streamers.
Other MCN companies might give small streamers thirty or forty percent, and fifty percent would be considered generous.
Sixty or seventy percent would be for top streamers with strong earning potential.
It was rare for someone like Jiang Tao to offer streamers eighty percent of the revenue.
Li Ming chuckled from the side, “Zhang Bo, my friend, what are you still hesitating about? The conditions Brother Jiang is offering, I’m tempted to join their company myself.”
“Haha, our small temple can’t accommodate a distinguished guest like you, Young Master Li.”
Jiang Tao playfully teased Li Ming, then turned his gaze back to the somewhat hesitant Zhang Bo, awaiting his answer.
“Brother Jiang has said so much. If I were to remain hesitant now, it would be ungrateful.”
Zhang Bo looked at Jiang Tao sincerely and said,
“If Brother Jiang doesn’t mind my being slow-witted, I’ll work for you from now on!”
【Ding! Congratulations on triggering the Special Mission 『Help others achieve themselves, and achieve yourself!』!】
【Task Name】: Help others achieve themselves, and achieve yourself!
【Task Content】: Help others succeed, and it will also benefit yourself. Help Zhang Bo gain 500,000 followers on the Kuaidou platform!
【Task Reward】: 6.66 million cash, 10 points for physique, 10 points for charm value, 10 points for health value!
As soon as Zhang Bo finished speaking, a brilliant blue system interface popped up automatically, displaying a new task notification.
“Help others achieve themselves, and achieve yourself…”
Seeing the name of this task, Jiang Tao immediately thought of Da Zheng, a running streamer he had been following for a long time.
When Da Zheng first entered the running streamer niche, his monetization ability was also weak.
His main source of income was prize money from marathons across the country.
Later, Old Zhang, the founder of “Lang Hu Yu,” found Da Zheng and began guiding him in filming and helping him with operations.
Da Zheng transformed from an unknown streamer into a popular streamer on Kuaidou with over five million followers, achieving a major comeback.
Old Zhang also provided Da Zheng with opportunities to cooperate with more sports brands.
Through advertising placements and live streaming sales, he achieved commercial monetization and greatly increased his income.
The relationship between Old Zhang and Da Zheng was precisely “help others achieve themselves, and achieve yourself.”
Old Zhang, through his connections and resources, helped Da Zheng succeed.
Da Zheng, in turn, created greater value for Old Zhang with his own capabilities.
In this collaboration with Zhang Bo, he only needed to help him reach 500,000 followers to complete the task.
And he would receive 5 million in cash rewards, as well as rewards for physique, charm value, and health value.
The task difficulty was not too high, and the rewards were quite generous!
“Accept Task!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Jiang Tao accepted the task with a single thought.
In one day, he had triggered two special tasks, with total rewards exceeding ten million!
Could today be his lucky day?
Jiang Tao looked at the pocket on the left side of his shirt.
In his pocket was a newly found Heluo Stone, about the size of a fingernail.
He wondered if today’s luck was brought to him by the Heluo Stone.
