Chapter 88 Welfare
The auction went smoothly.
This investment promotion conference still adopts the fast-win auction method. However, the reserve price of each advertising space has been increased by more or less by Xiao Jing based on its importance.
"Biaowang" sold advertisements for homepage introduction newspapers with a high price of 400 taels. There are six remaining places with prices of more than 100 taels. All nearly 30 advertising spaces were sold for 2,700 taels, and the revenue of Mirror doubled compared to the last time.
"The price is fair." A businessman below calculated by counting on his fingers: "I spent 80 taels of silver. Judging from the situation last month, I could at least make an additional 150 and 60 taels. It's really a sure profit and no loss... Well, this money is worth it!"
Xiao Jing suddenly shouted: "Please be quiet! The auction is over, and there is something to announce next!"
Everyone immediately held their breath and stared at the center. Whenever Xiao Jing spoke casually, he would say something that was very relevant to everyone's personal interests, not to mention that he solemnly said "I have something to announce" at this moment?
"Sometimes, a friend and the mirror had some misunderstandings." Xiao Jing cleared his throat and said, "However, with your mediation, the matter has been settled: the newspaper and the other party will turn war into jade and work together in the future. After all, only if the newspaper is good can the merchants be better; no matter who it is, they can get benefits from the newspaper, right?"
The audience nodded one after another, and some people looked at Mr. Han. However, it was useless to see him, because Mr. Han, who had a calm face, was squinting his eyes lightly, as if what Xiao Jing said had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Jing bowed deeply and said, "During this period, the mirror has received care. Everyone sent not only gifts of various colors, but also favors that the newspaper could not repay. It is precisely because of your help that the newspaper has overcome the difficulties. Xiao thanked me here!"
There was a buzzing sound from the audience. Some people came for the first time and were asking others what Xiao Jing was saying; some people were chatting about gossip about this matter with the people next to them.
After a while, the voice gradually became silent, and everyone's eyes gathered on Mr. Zhong. The people on the stage expressed their gratitude. As the unscrupulous leader of the Beijing business community, Mr. Zhong naturally wanted to give a gift on behalf of the business community, and let me say a few more words.
"Young Master doesn't have to remember the mere thing." Zhong Yuanwai stroked his beard and said, "Since the newspapers have opened their eyes, we have also benefited from many mirrors. Nowadays, merchants and newspapers have long had me in you, and I have you in me, so how can we distinguish each other? Everyone here also hopes that the newspapers will get better and better, and will naturally help you when the young master is in trouble. Haha, I am still waiting to see how the young master can achieve great things!"
Xiao Jing bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Zhong said so much."
He raised his head and looked at the people in the audience, and said, "However, the official website really has too much award for the part about Xiao. Although the boy is a little talented, he is still ignorant and frivolous. Besides, I have only a little understanding of business affairs, and I will ask you all the seniors and uncles in the future."
Whether it was the second time attending the meeting or the first time coming, most people looked at Xiao Jing with admiration.
This young man is not only thoughtful and has many strange plans, but also has a rare sense of peace, humility, and warm and sincere treatment. Think about those children who grew up in a greenhouse, which one of them can have such a dignity and insight at his age and do such a big thing?
Xiao Jing paused and smiled and said, "When talking about 'You have me, I have you,' I suddenly had a thought and asked everyone to help me with the details. For a long time, the sales of Mirror Newspapers have been supported by Xiao, Shao Ning and Pan Feiyu. We had to drive out the car early in the morning, go to the city to sell newspapers when the city gate was just opened, and then rushed back to the editorial department in a hurry.
This is really tiring, and it involves a lot of energy and delays a lot of working hours. So Xiao planned to do this: after the new newspaper is printed, it will be sold to your shops at a price of three cents per serving, and the shop will sell it on behalf of others. The market price of the mirror is five cents per serving, and the newspapers will be sold at this price in the store. I wonder if it is feasible?"
Of course it works!
The savvy businessmen must be able to calculate the calculation clearly. Some people immediately turned their eager eyes to the stage, and some people turned their eyes, as if they were thinking about how to lobby Xiao Jing so that more newspapers could be placed in their shops.
Everyone's reaction was very enthusiastic. Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Since everyone doesn't object, when the dinner party is held, please ask someone who intends to help the newspaper sellers come to Xiao."
The newspapers did not expect to make money by selling newspapers. With a large amount of advertising revenue, the amount of money sold by newspapers was not even considered useless. If Xiao Jing had not been thinking about the dignity of the media, if he was not afraid that the newspaper would be taken away by others, the Mirror could have become a free newspaper at any time.
Even those merchants who are ready to help sell newspapers want to make a fortune by making a fortune by the difference of 2 cents. Not to mention anything else, they may have to send someone to the nearest printing workshop to pick up newspapers. Those who are near can still hold their legs, while those who are far away will have to hire a car. After a while, they can only make dozens or hundreds of dollars, or they may simply make money without losing money.
So, money matters are not important. What is important is: with newspapers, there will be popularity!
Every time the Mirror newspaper is released, even if they have never seen it, they have at least heard of it. The least feared business is that there are many customers. If a large number of citizens flock to the store, even if they just buy the newspaper and go shopping, it will bring huge business opportunities to the operators.
Mr. Xiao gave a lot of benefits today!
Just as the merchants were eager to try and were preparing to "surround Xiao Jing", a sound of "good" that broke through the air broke the tranquility of the venue.
The man screamed so loudly, and some older ones were scared and trembled all over. For a moment, no one paid attention to Xiao Jing anymore, and everyone's eyes were fixed in one direction.
It was Shao Ning who was standing there. He was watched by a bunch of people as if he was looking at national treasures. Not only did he not feel shy, he also pushed his chest hard.
"That's the young master of the Shao family, right?" a middle-aged man whispered: "I heard that he is not good at it. He is simply ignorant. He will hang out with a group of friends all day long. Now he joins the newspaper, he looks a bit gentle, but his temperament is still so frivolous."
The person sitting next to him replied: "Who said it was not? Two years ago, people were afraid when they saw him. Now he has accumulated some good reputation. Judging from what he wrote, his mind has become much more useful. Tsk tsk, I used to think that the Shao family's huge business would be defeated by Shao Ning or fell into the hands of people from other people. Now it seems that he has made some progress. It turns out that he is close to the vermilion and the man is close to the ink! After following Xiao Jing for a long time, he knows more things and understands the principles of doing business. He can even hear the important things in his words..."
Xiao Jing covered his face. If he knew that someone was evasive of Shao Ning, he would have to spray the overnight dinner.
No one knows his son, but his father. Mr. Shao was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him. He kept winking at Shao Ning, but his son directly ignored my kindness.
How could Shao Ning applaud because he heard the wonderful things?
What this kid fears most is getting up early. Every newspaper release day is like a difficult day for him. So, he clearly heard that he didn't have to sell newspapers by himself, so he shouted in vain!
Xiao Jing rolled his eyes and quickly changed the subject: "I think everyone is hungry, are you?"
It was noon, who wouldn't be hungry? The auction just now was tense and exciting, and everyone's attention was all on the venue, so naturally they didn't feel anything. When Xiao Jing said that, many people realized that they were already hungry and couldn't help but touch their stomachs.
Suddenly, a scent of fragrance blew over with the wind, and you could still hear the sound of moving things. When you turned your head, it turned out that Dong Xiaoya was directing more than 20 people to make catering arrangements. Although there were many people and many things, the whole process was orderly and had no impact on the venue.
But, why is this "buffet" a little different from last time?
Xiao Jing smiled embarrassedly and continued, "Before the meal, Xiao has something to say."
If you have anything, can't you finish it at once?
Even though his stomach was already roaring with hunger, the audience was still excited.
Xiao Jing touched his head and said aloud: "Before, the newspaper has received a lot of gifts. This kind of intention is very gratifying. However, it is said that you will not receive any reward without merit! The newspaper cannot accept gifts for no reason, so Xiao has ordered someone to return the gifts.
There are some other things that the original owner refused to take back or could not let go. When signing the document later, Xiao will deduct the price from the money he needs to pay whenever he has a gift in the newspaper office!"
There was silence below. They had known about Xiao Jing's withdrawal of the etiquette for a long time. Although they didn't understand why, Mr. Xiao, who was kind to others, must have his own difficulties in doing this, and they didn't have to say much.
"In addition, there is an issue of Mirror that does not publish any advertisements, and you paid the last time ten fees." Xiao Jing said seriously: "The people who photographed the advertising space this time will deduct 20% of the advertising fees from the last time, 10% is refunded, and 10% is compensation; if you haven't photographed, please come to me for a refund, thank you!"
The seat was in an uproar. A younger businessman shouted loudly: "How can you blame the young master for that? There is an unexpected situation in the world, just a little money, forget it!"
Many people agreed. Xiao Jing raised his face and said, "The document I signed last time is still there. It clearly lists the responsibilities of the newspaper and advertisers. The newspaper can be exempted from liability, but this is not the case. Although we added relevant instructions for this document, it was not the last time. How can we not do business without following the rules? Xiao must not do anything that does not abide by the contract in front of our predecessors!"
Chapter completed!
