Natasha communicated with Gena about the all-terrain vehicle.
Gena has made significant progress in learning English recently, and can now engage in simple conversations.
So he decided to call Chen Yiyang directly, inviting him to Moscow for a face-to-face discussion about their collaboration.
Although Russia is currently at war, Moscow is actually fairly safe.
Plus, with Gena being a local, Chen Yiyang felt that hiring a security team for personal protection upon arrival would likely prevent any incidents.
So he agreed.
However, he would have to wait a few days before going to Moscow.
Chen Yiyang first needed to handle some matters domestically.
One of the more important matters is his plan to remove Jiang Yue from Old West and bring in other live-streaming influencers.
Liu Xiaoyue has helped him identify a well-known influencer who's recently short on cash and has a decent character: Li Peiguang.
After learning about this person's background, Chen Yiyang flew to his hometown to invite him personally.
"Hello, President Chen."
"Hello, hello."
In a gym, Chen Yiyang, accompanied by a junior accountant, met this influencer Li Peiguang.
Li Peiguang, a guy from Northeast China.
Due to his interest in fitness, he later went to Jiangnan Province to participate in various bodybuilding competitions.
Over the years, he's won numerous championships and even opened a fitness academy.
In recent years, he's transitioned to being a video influencer, creating positive content.
He's also done things like renting fishing ponds for his fans.
But these activities generally resulted in losses, essentially equating to charity work.
The most famous thing he did happened not long ago.
He was invited by the Farmers' Association in Mosenan to help promote beef.
While there, the beef he sampled was perfectly fine.
However, the beef sold during the promotional live stream ended up being processed meat when delivered to fans.
Who would have thought this could happen even when the official invitation was involved?
Although this incident wasn't directly related to Li Peiguang, as he was merely helping to promote.
The beef producers were not him, and the invitation came from the officials.
Yet, he chose to immediately offer a tenfold refund to buyers, essentially paying back ten times the price of the beef.
He ended up compensating nearly ten million in a short period.
Although he personally fronted the money for compensation, recovering the cost from the producers would probably take years of lawsuits.
"Honestly, I spend quite a bit of time on fitness, and also do some charity work, leaving limited time for live streaming."
"Don't worry about that," Chen Yiyang told Li Peiguang. "Old West is a professional live-streaming sales company. We usually schedule only four live streams per month per influencer.
We have people dedicated to product selection, so you don't need to bother. Other minor live stream tasks are managed by controllers; you just need to focus on the live streaming itself."
"Well." Li Peiguang was actually a bit hesitant.
Despite losing nearly ten million in the previous streaming, it was because of the official invitation. He personally wasn't very interested in becoming a full-time live-streaming sales influencer.
"Also, don't worry about your reputation." Chen Yiyang continued to reassure him,
"Old West has very clear statements to the public; all products are company-controlled, unrelated to the influencers.
We can sign a contract; if there are quality issues or counterfeit products in live-streaming sales managed by us,
the company will fully compensate consumers, and you can also claim from the company and immediately terminate the contract."
Chen Yiyang spared no expense in signing Li Peiguang this time.
Primarily because of Li Peiguang's honesty and good reputation now.
He could fully replace the position left after Jiang Yue's departure.
Chen Yiyang and Li Peiguang negotiated all day long, ultimately it was unclear whether Li Peiguang was moved by Chen Yiyang's sincerity or simply urgently needed funds after losing several million.
Finally, he agreed to Chen Yiyang's terms.
Signing Li Peiguang was a relief for Chen Yiyang.
The main issue was Jiang Yue's incompetence and his propensity for power struggles.
If he continued to stay with Old West it might escalate conflicts with Chenghui.
Now with Jiang Yue out and Li Peiguang in,
with Li Peiguang's integrity and straightforward character, it's anticipated the two will get along well.
After signing on Li Peiguang,
Chen Yiyang flew back to Shan City, brought in Liu Xiaoyue, then invited Jiang Yue over for a talk.
Upon hearing that Chen Yiyang and Liu Xiaoyue wanted to meet him, Jiang Yue had a sense of what was coming.
So, they sat in the office, exchanged only a few words.
Liu Xiaoyue provided a subtle hint.
Jiang Yue immediately responded.
"I can leave Old West, but I need my shares to be converted into cash. Also, if any employees want to leave with me, you need to compensate them with the 2n+1 severance package following due procedures."
"Sure." Chen Yiyang nodded.
Problems solvable with money are the simplest to handle.
As long as Jiang Yue doesn't make a public fuss and is willing to leave for cash,
and as long as the asking price is not outrageous, Chen Yiyang was supportive.
Because Jiang Yue's negative impact inside the company already outweighed the positive.
This also provided a chance to clear out Old West's veterans while bringing in new talents.
"By the way boss, how about changing the company's name?"
After Jiang Yue left, Liu Xiaoyue suddenly proposed an idea.
"Rename the company, huh." Chen Yiyang thought for a bit, and considered it necessary.
Initially, when transforming into a live-streaming sales company, Old West retained its name to leverage the brand's previous reputation as an education company.
And to comfort Old West's veterans, preventing significant disappointment.
Now with Chenghui gaining fame and Jiang Yue leaving.
Retaining the 'Old West' brand no longer serves any purpose.
It's time for a change.
"How about calling the new company Shabby House Inn?" Chen Yiyang thought about perhaps unifying the names of his various enterprises under one brand.
"I don't think that's a great idea," Liu Xiaoyue said seriously. "I know your gaming agency and brokerage companies are also named this.
It's not problematic for these types of companies to share a name since they seldom appear directly in front of the public, having a unified name gives a familiar impression to the public.
However, a live-streaming sales company is different; our account must remain consistent with the company name.
If we rename to Shabby House Inn, and any of your companies encounters a scandal, given the identical company names, this scandal would simultaneously impact the others."
"I overlooked that." Chen Yiyang, a bit clumsy with naming, felt stumped when Liu Xiaoyue rejected his suggestion, contemplating what the new name should be.
