King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Since it's a collaboration, the right attitude should be shown, and the materials and designs of the packaging box perfectly reflect this.

Some collaborative products have packaging that is not only cheap but also has no practical value, yet they are sold at exorbitant prices, resulting in the collaborating parties being condemned by netizens.

Ye Lan clearly didn't want to see this situation, and the same goes for the official King of Glory team.

Since it's a collaboration, both parties should take it seriously. Ye Lan should create eye-catching co-branded packaging, and the official King of Glory team should give him more screen time during their live streams. This is the true win-win situation.

Ye Lan searched around but couldn't find Shi Rongjin. After asking around, she learned that too many branches had opened in the past few days, and the original supplier was simply too busy to handle the demand.

Shi Rongjin had no choice but to look for other suppliers outside, and he was busy with social engagements every day.

Not to mention Ye Lan, even the other staff members in the logistics team haven't seen Shi Rongjin for several days.

Ye Lan wondered if she should give these employees a raise. She couldn't just exploit them because they were college students and had high work enthusiasm.

Unable to find Shi Rongjin, Ye Lan called Hu Weihao over.

He is, after all, the company's second-in-command, and he should be aware of and participate in such a joint venture.

Hu Weihao is very free now. Ye Lan makes all the major decisions, and the subordinates handle the minor ones themselves.

He sits in his office every day, and when he has nothing to do, he just sits with his legs crossed, drinks tea, and looks at the profit and loss statements.

Sometimes even Hu Weihao himself felt it was unreal, wondering if he was here to work.

He was the most highly educated among the group of college students, and his salary was about three times that of the others.

The more he could take, the more uneasy he felt.

Because what he wants is to realize his personal value. In other words, I put in the effort, you give me money, it's a win-win situation where both parties get what they need.

However, getting paid without doing anything might be something others dream of, but it's not what Hu Weihao wants.

The longer he remained in this state, the more he felt like a good-for-nothing who was just wasting his life.

After receiving Ye Lan's call, he rushed over without stopping, moving at lightning speed.

"Boss, what do you need me for?" Hu Weihao was dressed in a clean and neat suit, wearing half-rimmed glasses, and had a slightly slicked-back hairstyle, looking just like a refined scoundrel in a TV series.

He loved playing basketball in college. He was 1.83 meters tall, had six-pack abs, and a perfect physique. He was a perfect clothes hanger.

If someone like Hu Weihao went to a bar, he could probably charm countless rich women and young wives.

Ye Lan had already made a decision for Hu Weihao in her heart: if the shop went bankrupt, she would send him to a bar to sing and touch the rich women, so he could earn money to start a business again.

After all, they've received so much salary; they should at least produce some results.

What Ye Lan didn't know was that when he was thinking about these things, the corners of his mouth would unconsciously curl into an exaggerated smile, which looked incredibly creepy.

Hu Weihao felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of his boss's smile. He swallowed hard and asked again, "Boss, what did you call me here for?"

After regaining her senses, Ye Lan told Hu Weihao about her needs one by one.

Hu Weihao has a very good memory; he won't forget the books he's read or the words he's heard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get into a top-tier graduate program.

He rested his chin on his hand, squinted slightly, and listened quietly for several minutes without saying a word before nodding silently.

Looking at Hu Weihao's current state, Ye Lan couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at him.

In the past, he could always see an air of arrogance in others, with their slightly upturned lips and raised heads, as if everyone else was inferior to them.

However, Hu Weihao has matured a lot now, and his personality is much more stable. He is completely different from his flamboyant self before.

Seeing that Ye Lan hadn't said anything more, Hu Weihao raised his eyes and asked, "That's it?"

Ye Lan smiled and nodded, "That's all."

"Isn't it too extravagant to use aluminum alloy to insulate the outside of the cup? I've seen other milk tea brands just put a paper ring around the cup, which is cheap. If you want to decide on a design, you can make a dozen for one yuan."

Hu Weihao had clearly done market research and knew the prices of things like milk tea very well.

Ye Lan nodded, "The regular version can use this, but mine is a limited edition, and I'll need to get a professional player to sign it later, so of course I have to prioritize practicality."

Hu Weihua nodded after hearing this. If it was a signed limited edition, then the cost wouldn't be a concern at all, because they would definitely make a profit.

After all, a skin with a professional player's signature can cost more than ten dollars more.

If it's a dynamic signature, the price will only be higher!

After a brief discussion, Hu Weihao nodded, "I know what to do."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Don't let me down."

Hu Weihao nodded earnestly, feeling deeply ashamed as he thought about what he had done earlier.

I am the person with the highest education, the highest status, and the highest salary among this group.

But so far, he has not succeeded in anything.

He earns 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a month, but he feels no joy at all. He even thinks that Ye Lan shouldn't pay him a salary, and that it would be more meaningful to give up the money than to keep it for himself.

Ye Lan, however, did not think so.

Why does the country and society place so much importance on academic qualifications?

Does a high level of education necessarily mean strong work ability?

There is clearly a relationship between the two, but it is not an absolute one.

In the eyes of most senior managers, the reason they choose people with high academic qualifications is because they firmly believe in a certain principle.

People with good academic performance are generally able to adapt to a new and unfamiliar work environment more quickly and effectively than those with poor academic performance, and learn and master new work skills.

Of course, this conclusion is not absolute, but it is a result derived from big data statistical analysis.

It has some reference value.

This is why Ye Lan is unwilling to give up on Hu Weihao.

After watching the other person leave, Ye Lan strolled around Baichuan Mall. Xueyao Chinese herbal milk tea has now taken over the entire Baichuan Mall, and you can see a store almost every two steps.

If you didn't know better, you'd think Baichuan Mall was just a milk tea shop.

As Ye Lan passed by the shop, she saw the employees working inside through the transparent glass. She didn't make a sound to disturb them and walked past silently.

Both offline and online operations are now on track; all that's missing is the buzz generated by the Spring Split to further expand production.

Opening branches is an essential step in the process of going public.

However, when opening a branch, you should pay attention to the timing of entry and not open it on a whim.

Ye Lan has already captured all the surrounding traffic. Next, she just needs to wait for the Spring Tournament to gain popularity and then spread her branches all over Shanghai.

Finally, it's about expanding from specific points to a broader area, covering the entire country!
