Despite high hopes, the sales of Yuanqi Soup are not good. One of the reasons is that the popularity of Yuanqi Soup is almost zero. Although there is a lot of advertising and publicity in Batian City, outside of Batian City, few people know about Yuanqi Soup.
There are very few people. Another reason is that it is winter now, which is the off-season for the beverage market. Consumers have little demand for beverages. Even if there is demand, they will choose several well-known brands on the market.
, such as Jiaduobao, Heqizheng or Huiyuan Juice and Nongfu, they will not consider the Yuanqi Decoction of Shennv Pharmaceutical at all.
On the highway from Batian City to the provincial capital, Ling Xiao was driving carefully in a brand new Audi A6. Tang Meiyu was sitting next to him, reminding him from time to time not to take the emergency road and to talk to the person in front of him.
Keep a distance from the car. Although Ling Xiao has obtained a driver's license, as a novice, he can definitely be called a road killer. Therefore, Ling Xiao looks very nervous, but Tang Meiyu looks a little more nervous than him.
.
This Audi A6 was Ling Xiao's 19th birthday gift. It had the highest configuration and was worth half a million. He would definitely be reluctant to let him spend his own money to buy such an expensive car. And no one else could give him such a gift.
, it is Huang Zhiqiang. Only a person like Huang Zhiqiang has the courage to give a luxuriously equipped Audi A6 to others like a toy car. In fact, Ling Xiao did not know that Huang Zhiqiang would give him a car beforehand.
When a 4S store in Batian City called him to pick up the car, he realized that it was Huang Zhiqiang who had given him such a birthday gift.
Even if he gave it away, there is no way he could take it back? Besides, Huang Zhiqiang would not take it seriously. Even if he wanted to send it back, the 4S store wouldn't take it back.
Return the product. So, he had no choice but to accept it. Of course, it was inevitable to call Huang Zhiqiang to say thank you or something.
The car thing is just a small matter.
The big things are what you have to do in front of you.
Comrade Li Hao, the section chief of the sales department of Shennu Pharmaceutical, talked so much that he wore out his shoe soles, and finally impressed the person in charge of a large supermarket. The other party was somewhat interested in placing an order, but Ling Xiao had to bring the product to the interview to finalize it.
Issues such as price and delivery methods.
"Sister Yu'er, do you have any clues about what I told you last time?" Ling Xiao gradually got used to the feeling of driving on the highway, and Ling Xiao slowly relaxed. When he came out of the Goddess Village this time, he not only
I want to secure an order from that large supermarket, and I also want to secure celebrity endorsements.
Tang Meiyu said with a smile: "I have always taken your matter to heart, and I have also asked people to find connections. I know a lot of first-line celebrities, but the endorsement fees they ask for are sky-high, and they are too expensive.
Yeah. You remember that goddess Pan Bingbing? I had several meals with her before and collaborated on a script. I contacted her agent and offered eight million, saying it was for the sake of being a friend.
For my sake, I got a 20% discount."
Ling Xiao broke out in a cold sweat. Eight million was said to be at a discount. Without discount, it would be 10 million. This is enough for him to build another production workshop!
"But you also have to understand the difficulties faced by those celebrities. Their agents, assistants, makeup artists, bodyguards, etc., have a lot of people counting on them for food. If they don't charge so much money, how will they pay these people?
Huh?" Tang Meiyu said that she knew the entertainment industry very well. On the surface, some celebrities seemed to be living a glorious and respectable life, but secretly they were miserable and miserable.
"Is there no other way?" Ling Xiao asked.
"The concept of human relationships in the entertainment industry is very weak, and most people regard money rather than people. Even if it is a good relationship, once it is related to business, people in the entertainment industry will not be merciful in accepting money. Therefore,
, if you want to invite those big stars to endorse, you can't save the money. If I take the lead, I can only ask the other party to work harder and charge less. My ability is only so great. How to choose is up to you.
Decision." Tang Meiyu said.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment, "I'll think about it before making a decision. I'll put it aside for a while and finish the big order in front of me first."
"Okay, I'll think of something for you during this time," Tang Meiyu said.
The car sped towards the provincial capital.
The problem of asking celebrities to endorse is actually very simple. With Tang Meiyu's help, Ling Xiao can find the most popular celebrities, and the other parties will do their best to endorse Yuanqi Soup and increase the popularity of Yuanqi Soup, so Tang Meiyu can't be said
It has no effect, but the key is to have money. If you don’t have money, even if they give you a 20% discount, it will be useless.
"When we make money, this will be done." Ling Xiao secretly thought to himself.
When Shennu Pharmaceutical was founded, it only had a total of 20 million yuan to build the factory, purchase equipment, pay employees, purchase raw materials, etc. Ling Xiao actually had no money for a long time, and he was unable to do anything.
If the funding problem is not alleviated, the current situation will get worse.
The car drove to the "Yanghua Department Store". Ling Xiao parked the car in the parking lot, and then walked to the Yanghua Department Store with Tang Meiyu. From a distance, he saw Li Hao standing at the door of the store. The boy was in a neat suit.
, her leather shoes were polished, and she was carrying a genuine leather office bag, looking like a professional elite.
"Master, you just came, I've been waiting for you for more than an hour." Li Hao complained as soon as he saw Ling Xiao.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Where is the owner of Yanghua Department Store? Come on, let's go see him. On the way, tell me about the situation of Yanghua Department Store."
The three of them walked into the store. Along the way, Li Hao also told Ling Xiao in detail some of the situation of Yanghua Department Store.
Although this Yanghua Department Store is not as famous as large supermarkets such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour, it is the most well-known large supermarket chain in the provincial capital. In addition to this main store covering an area of more than ten acres, there are also many
There are dozens of branches and the scale is considerable. The owner of Yanghua Department Store, whose surname is Li Zhongfu, was just a small shop owner at first. Now he has thousands of employees.
"This Li Zhongfu loves face the most. When I meet him later, Master, you must give him enough face." After telling Lingxiao Yanghua Department Store some situations, Li Hao warned again: "As for the price, after these several negotiations, I
We have figured out his bottom line, and it is three cents lower than our ex-factory price."
"Our ex-factory price is three yuan and eighty per can, which is 30 cents lower, that is three yuan and five per can." Ling Xiao's brows suddenly frowned. The reason why Yuanqi Soup has a retail price of five yuan per can is that
Because of the cost. Yuanqi Tang is no better than other drinks. Its main raw materials are more than a dozen kinds of Chinese medicinal materials, which is much more expensive than other drinks. If you listen to three yuan on May 1st, the profits of Shennu Pharmaceutical will be less.
What a pity.
Li Hao seemed to have read through Ling Xiao's thoughts and said: "Master, there is no way. Our products are good, but they have no reputation at all. We now need to enter a hypermarket like Yanghua Department Store, and wait until consumers know about us.
They also discovered the benefits of our products, and there were more repeat customers. At that time, it was not us who begged the store, but the store begged us.”
Ling Xiao said: "That Li Zhongfu obviously saw this and lowered the price so low? He can grow from a small shop to such a large scale, and it will definitely not work without a few brushes. Let me talk to him first.
Let’s see his reaction.”
"Well, his office is on the fifth floor. I'll take you there." Li Hao said.
The three of them took the elevator in the store to the fifth floor. The elevator in the store was a sightseeing elevator, equipped with tempered glass, so you could see the outside. When taking the elevator, Ling Xiao saw the prosperity of Yanghua Department Store, with businesses on every floor.
The theme is that the first floor is for daily groceries and food, the second floor is for clothing, the third floor is for electrical appliances, and the fourth floor is for furniture. Each floor is full of people coming and going, and business is booming.
The fifth floor is the headquarters of Yanghua Department Store, which is the office area.
The elevator stopped and when the door opened, Ling Xiao suddenly froze.
There were several people standing outside the elevator door, and one of them was the person Ling Xiao never wanted to see, Zhou Zhe.
Zhou Zhe was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Isn't this Mr. Ling? Well, there is also Miss Yu'er. I haven't seen her for a long time. I didn't expect to meet her here."
Ling Xiao looked at him and said lukewarmly: "Yes, this earth is really too small."
Zhou Zhe looked unconcerned. His eyes fell on Tang Meiyu, and his voice became gentle again, "Sister Yu'er, let's have dinner together at noon. I haven't had dinner with you for a long time, is that okay?"
Elegant, gentle, handsome in appearance, coupled with his wealth, few women can refuse his invitation, not to mention, he still invites with such a gentle tone. However, it has been tried and true with other women.
The method would not work on Tang Meiyu.
"I don't have time today, so I think it's better to forget it," Tang Meiyu said.
"What about tomorrow?"
"I'm not free tomorrow either."
"What about the day after tomorrow?" Zhou Zhe said with a smile: "How about this weekend, go to my house and I will let the chef cook your favorite dish."
Tang Meiyu's face turned ugly. This was not an invitation, but an entanglement.
Ling Xiao said: "Zhou Zhe, don't you understand yet? Is it interesting for you to be so entangled?"
"Hey? Boy, how did you say that? Be polite!" One of Zhou Zhe's bodyguards said fiercely, pointing at Ling Xiao's nose with his finger.
Ling Xiao looked at the bodyguard coldly. If he spoke rudely again, even in front of Tang Meiyu, he wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
The bodyguard may not know how powerful Ling Xiao is, but Zhou Zhe knows it very well. He also glared at the bodyguard, and then smiled indifferently, "Okay, goodbye, and I wish Mr. Ling a successful business deal. We
Walk."
Zhou Zhe entered the elevator with several bodyguards, and then took the elevator downstairs.
"What is this guy so proud about? If he didn't have a good father, he would be worse than me!" Li Hao said angrily.
Ling Xiao didn't seem to hear what Li Hao said. He looked at the closed elevator door and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Why does Zhou Zhe appear here? Is it a coincidence or something? It just happens to be at this juncture.
