My Life Can Hang

"This design is good, and it is also the work of the masters in the industry, right?"

After Chen Dongcheng read it, he asked Reed.

"It was designed by Mr. Hill. He has designed six hotels for us at Aman. He is a master of interior design at the same level as Mr. Getty. Aman Tokyo is also Mr. Hill's masterpiece."

"The work of sealing the mountain?"

Chen Dongcheng looked a little sideways, which also means that Aman Tokyo is definitely Hill's hard work.

Reed smiled and made an inviting gesture, and took Chen Dongcheng to the lounge area in the lobby to take a seat.

The rest area is also ingenious, surrounded by walls made of basalt, with an Ishigaki style design, rough ore without losing simplicity.

Just find a seat and take a seat. There are not many people in the lobby lounge area, and there will be waiters walking through it from time to time.

As long as you snap your fingers a little, the other party will walk towards you with a smile on his face.

When checking in, in order to facilitate the record, the service staff directly records the information on one knee.

"All the information has been completed, please Mr. Chen come with me."

Reed smiled the whole time, I really don't know if the corners of his mouth would be sore, it must be quite tiring to smile like this.

When he got to the top floor, Reed didn't bother to go in any more, but gave Chen Dongcheng a business card, and he could contact him for anything.

Just the right service, not overly enthusiastic.

Chen Dongcheng was very satisfied with the first experience of staying at Aman.

Chen Dongcheng stayed in the Aman suite, the most expensive one.

[-] per night excluding taxes, plus more than [-] per night with taxes.

The Aman Suite is quite large, with 157 square meters.

Don't be too small.

In Tokyo, where every inch of land is expensive, it is still a luxurious area next to the imperial palace. This is already a super mansion.

There are many hotels with room types not exceeding [-] square meters.

When Xue Ningzhi saw that Chen Dongcheng had prepared a separate room for herself, she felt a little relieved, but she was inexplicably disappointed.

"Take a shower first, and then change clothes before we go out for a walk."

After Chen Dongcheng finished speaking with a smile, he pushed open the door of the Aman suite and walked in.

Take a shower in the room and change clothes.

Chen Dongcheng waited for a while in the lobby on the 32nd floor, and then saw Xue Ningzhi coming out of the elevator.

"Sister Xue!"

Chen Dongcheng shouted, and Xue Ningzhi immediately came over.

Xue Ningzhi said apologetically, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

"It's okay, it's just right for men to wait for women."

Chen Dongcheng smiled and waved his hand, and quietly added in his heart: "The premise is that you have to look good."

Walking out of the building, the bustling scene of Tokyo is indeed impressive.

Office workers in black suits and white shirts are always in a hurry.

Many elderly people in their 50s who have basically stepped into retirement status in China still carry their briefcases with a calm expression, which has become a special sight in Tokyo.

"Tokyo is an interesting city."

Xue Ningzhi said with a smile: "If you are not in a hurry this time, I suggest you experience more, maybe you will like Japanese culture."

"This trip to Tokyo, I really have a lot of things to do."

Chen Dongcheng glanced at the time and said with a smile, "Go somewhere with me first."

"it is good."

Xue Ningzhi didn't ask any more questions, she boarded the special car provided by the hotel with Chen Dongcheng and came to a building in the southern part of Shibuya District.

"arrive."

Chen Dongcheng stretched out his hand, intending to help Xue Ningzhi.

Xue Ningzhi did not object, she put her hand in Chen Dongcheng's hand, and slowly got out of the car.

Taking the elevator to the sixth floor of the building, Xue Ningzhi couldn't help but wonder when she saw the environment on this floor: "Is there anyone you know here?"

"Several employees on this floor belong to the company under my name."

"Oh."

After Chen Dongcheng looked at the environment on this floor, the smile on his face disappeared.

Going around in many partitions, I found two partitions.

"Chen Dong?!"

One of the employees who was drinking water saw Chen Dongcheng and sprayed directly on his colleague's face.

"It's me, your position is quite hard to find."

Chen Dongcheng nodded with a smile and asked, "Who are you in charge?"

"it's me!"

One of them, a greasy man in a suit in his 30s, raised his hand.

Chen Dongcheng smiled at him and asked, "What's your name?"

The man in the suit replied, "My name is Jin Yang, from Guangdong Province."

Chen Dongcheng nodded: "Jin Yang, um, how many people are there in your team now?"

"There are eight people in total, two of them have business, and they took a temporary leave and went home."

Jin Yang introduced the other employees of his team one by one, so that they could get acquainted with the boss.

"Because the headquarters intends to make all overseas Tik Tok teams operate locally, half of our team are locals, and the other half are seniors with many years of study and work experience in Japan."

After Chen Dongcheng understood the situation, he smiled and said, "You call and ask the two employees. If it is convenient, I will invite you to dinner in the evening."

"No problem, I'll contact them right away."

Jin Yang immediately took out his mobile phone and started calling the two employees.

Jin Yang asked again: "Chen Dong, they rushed over from home immediately, where do you want to eat at night?"

"Let's go to Xu Xuyuan, which is closer to you."

"Okay, I'll let them both go directly to Xuxuyuan."

Jin Yang was no stranger to this place, and sent the address of the restaurant to the two employees, and then chatted with Chen Dongcheng about the Tokyo office of Tik Tok, the overseas version of Douyin.

Although the team is small, there are only eight people in total, but the strength is still good.

It's just that Douyin has not completely decided to go overseas before, and its investment in overseas is not high.

This also led Jin Yang to find a way to cut costs and choose such a co-working place.

Fortunately, although the environment was a little rough, their mood was not affected.

In the two partitions, encouraging slogans such as "work hard, get promoted and raise salary" can be seen everywhere.

"Chen Dong, our biggest problem at present is the lack of advertising investment. I don't know how much the group can invest overseas in the next step?"

After Jin Yang finished speaking, the other five employees also looked over.

Even if a few Japanese natives have experience in studying in China before, they can still understand Chinese.

"Winning musical.ly is only the first step for us to go overseas. In the future, the main force of Douyin's base growth has to be counted on you."

Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "I have communicated with Mr. Hong, and I plan to spend no less than 2000 million on Douyin's advertising budget every day in the next six months, of which overseas will account for no less than 40%!"

"Great!"

"Yeah, we finally have money!"

After Chen Dongcheng finished speaking, several employees were immediately excited.

The biggest problem troubling their progress is funding.

Previously, Douyin wanted to consolidate the domestic market, and its investment in China was also the largest, with foreign investment accounting for less than 10%.

Several overseas studios are generally in a free-range state, and they belong to the kind of one that does not have one.

Some famous internet celebrities and celebrities are not interested in Tik Tok at all.

Even advertisers will not pay attention to a small platform with no name.

Without popularity, there is no profit channel.

Without a profit channel, it is impossible for the headquarters to increase investment.

During that time, Jin Yang was a little regretful of jumping to Douyin rashly, and now he finally has an opportunity for development.

"お Mother さ ん, Xiao さ な で!"

Just when Jin Yang and the others were excited, many people next door were upset and cursed.

"すみません!" Jin Yang quickly apologized.

Chen Dongcheng pointed to the outside, Jin Yang knowingly prepared things with a few subordinates.

The one-story building with a small area is divided into several small partitions and rented out.

For Chen Dongcheng, this office environment is simply hitting him in the face.

Douyin has become the leader of short videos in China, but overseas offices are so poor?

If it wasn't for Chen Dongcheng's visit in person, he wouldn't believe it.

After a while, Jin Yang and the others came out.

"You don't have to do anything else tomorrow. Find a clean and bright office immediately. Don't think about this kind of place in the future."

Chen Dongcheng took one last look at this floor and left without looking back.

Jin Yang and a few subordinates looked at each other and felt that the spring of their careers was coming!
