Chapter 406
I was floored!
The cheapest set was $128, and the pricier ones were $188 and $268. So, they had sold like four to five hundred million dollars' worth in just a month.That's insane.
Marry chimed in, "Actually, the profit margin isn't that high. Ms. Martinez uses top-notch materials, so the profit is only about a quarter. And that doesn't even cover labor, promotion, and endorsements. Ruyi Cosmetics has less than thirty million dollars in the bank."
I shook my head. "It's fine. Let them do their thing. Making money is important, but integrity is priceless. Consumers aren't dumb; time will reveal everything."
I promised Ella I wouldn't meddle with the company's management!
A profit of thirty million dollars in one month was already pretty impressive to me.
"Has anyone made an offer for Ruyi Cosmetics?"
"Yeah, a company offered three hundred million dollars to buy Ruyi Cosmetics," Marry said. "Other offers are in that ballpark."
"Ignore them. Ruyi Cosmetics is definitely going to shine in the future."
I thought, 'Ella is a gem. The products she creates are the real deal. Without good products, the reputation will tank. I don't want to do something so stupid.'
"Alright, you guys head out and bring me all the reports for this month."
With Marry and Mia looking at me, I wasn't in the mood to chat because I was still a bit ticked off.
After they left, Aisling brought in all the organized documents. "Mr. Cena, all the materials are here."
"Okay!" I nodded and started to read carefully.
Aisling walked behind me and gently massaged my shoulders.
Half an hour later, after finishing the documents, I found that the company was overall profitable, but VelocityMart required too much funding, and all the earnings were being funneled into logistics.
Aisling gently massaged my head. "Mr. Cena, take a break."
I held her hand. "Aisling, thanks for all your hard work."
"This is what I should do."
I looked at her, and she instantly got what I meant. She walked to the desk, leaned on it with her hands, and shyly took off her clothes.
We then had sex.
Aisling collapsed weakly on the desk, almost unable to stand.
But she still pulled herself together. "Mr. Cena, let me clean you up."
I nodded, letting her clean up. Aisling and Ava, these two sisters, were so obedient that I couldn't do without them.
I patted her butt. "Come with me!"
She bit her lip and followed me, though her walking was a bit awkward since we had just finished having sex.
In the month I was away, WY Media Company had developed rapidly. Previously, empty spaces were now crowded and bustling.
Employees greeted me as they saw me, "Mr. Cena!"
Savannah had resigned from the law firm upstairs to work full-time for the company. She recruited some new people and now had a team of four lawyers.
She had shed her inexperience and looked very professional.
"You've worked hard." I smiled and encouraged her.
In the past month or two, WY Media Company had received over twenty lawsuits, proving how foresighted I was in preparing a legal team in advance.
"Thank you, Mr. Cena." Savannah nodded with a smile.
"The legal team is still too small. As the company grows and enters more industries, your workload will increase." I thought for a moment. "I'll give you a team of ten for now. While training new people, also find one or two professionals to help. Do you understand?"
Savannah wasn't dumb; she instantly got what I meant. Professionals meant more connections and resources.
"Okay, Mr. Cena."
"Do your job, and you'll definitely be the chief legal advisor of WY Media Company."
As long as Savannah met my requirements, I would definitely make her the chief legal advisor.
Promises made must be kept to build trust.
At Everlasting New Media, Tony had become the top director, which was pretty impressive.
He was talented, making several company streamers famous with his scripts.
But no matter how good he was, he couldn't top Lily, who pulled in over twenty million followers in just over a month.
Of course, the cost was high too. She went the high-end route, spending nearly a million dollars in just over a month on living expenses.
But Lily was also super hardworking. A few days ago, she messaged me saying she wanted to help the company sell products.
I turned her down.
I aimed to elevate her as the top streamer, leveraging her influence to support the growth of other online streamers, while assigning smaller streamers to handle product sales.
Mia was already on it and had even organized an event.
This event caught a lot of attention online, and Lily, as the initiator, became even more famous, with her fan count skyrocketing.
Dance Fusion Hal also found some excellent people, and we had a good reserve.
I got back just in time. Lily was there munching on snacks. After more than a month, she was still the same.
No matter how much she ate, she didn't gain weight, a physique many girls envied.
I called out, "Lily!"
Seeing me, Lily quickly put down her snacks. "Mr. Cena!"
"Don't be so formal." I smiled and waved. "How was yesterday's trip? Did you have fun?"
"I had a blast. The food there was amazing, and I brought some specialties back for you."
Talking about food, her eyes lit up, and she took out the specialties from her backpack.
The assistant director said, "Mr. Cena, Lily brings you a gift from every place she visits. This bag is full of things she prepared for you."
Opening the suitcase, it was full of specialties from all over the country. I felt happy; she was such a good girl.
"Thank you!"
Lily smiled sweetly. "I've tried them all; they're delicious! You'll definitely like them."
I patted her head, and others looked at us with envy. "Save your money; don't spend it recklessly. For anything under a thousand dollars, let the company reimburse you, or message me, and I'll transfer it to you!"
"Thank you, Mr. Cena!" Lily's face turned red with excitement, "You're so good to me. Besides my parents, you're the best to me."
I glanced at the people around. "From now on, Lily is my sister. Treat her well. Remember, our company is not like other influencer companies that exploit their employees."
At this point, I had a sudden idea and said something to Aisling. She nodded and left with her long legs.
Soon, Tony brought a group of directors and streamers.
The large conference room was quickly filled. I glanced around; these were all top streamers with over five million fans, and two female streamers with over eight million fans were filming in the dormitory.
I asked, "Do you all know who I am?"
"Yes, you're Mr. Cena!" Tony led the shout.
Some new female streamers also looked at me intently.
"Good. I rarely come to the company, so today is not a formal meeting but a chat. Everyone, relax. How is the work intensity now? Are your streaming hours too long?"
Everyone was stunned, shocked, and unsure whether to speak.
"It's okay. If you have any opinions, bring them up. I'll consider them. WY Media Company is a new company, and this is my first time being a boss. I don't like overly strict companies or exploiting employees. I won't do that."
I looked at each of them. "You are the future of the company. Compared to high-intensity work and false promises, I advocate for happy work and promises that will be fulfilled."
At this moment, Eulalia raised her hand. "Boss, can I make a suggestion?"
"Of course!" I said with a smile.
