What is the most worrying thing about a village-run factory?
The most worrying thing is of course sales!
Cheng Zhenyuan experienced the entire process of the Liyuan Village Light Bulb Factory from its prosperity to its closure. A factory that was so prosperous back then had to close down because it couldn't sell its products.
Now, Shen Lin pays himself a salary of more than 100 yuan every month, and also makes himself the deputy director in charge of production.
This made Cheng Zhenyuan feel grateful from the bottom of his heart. This was a heavy trust. Trust was priceless, and he felt that he must live up to it with practical actions.
As the product was produced, Cheng Zhenyuan began to worry. After all, the aroma of wine is not as good as the alley. What's more, their production is booming very quickly and they don't seem to have any reputation yet.
"Buzz buzz!"
As the sound of boiling water came from the kettle, Cheng Zhenyuan quickly unplugged the hot plug from the socket.
The hot water was steaming, but Cheng Zhenyuan's brows furrowed even more.
This road of the non-staple food company is unworkable. Can Boss Shen really sell the squeezed goods within a week?
"Hey, Lao Cheng, what are you thinking about?" Just when Cheng Zhenyuan was lost in thought, the fat aunt's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
As both an old neighbor and a colleague in the factory, Cheng Zhenyuan had a very good relationship with Fat Aunt's family. When he heard Fat Aunt's shout, he frowned and said, "It's nothing, it's just hot sales..."
Halfway through the words, Cheng Zhenyuan couldn't go on. He thought to himself, why are I talking to Fat Aunt about this? People like Fat Aunt are just people who are full and don't think about anything else. Saying this to her is just playing the piano to others. .
"So you are thinking about this too. Several people in our factory are discussing this matter."
When the fat aunt said this, she said with a hint of expectation: "Old Cheng, I'm here to discuss something with you. That... Director Shen said that he wants me to leave my current position and temporarily join the sales department."
"Well, do you think I should go or not?"
Cheng Zhenyuan was stunned when he heard what the fat aunt said. He looked at the chubby aunt, whose eyes narrowed into slits when she smiled, and felt whether he was hearing hallucinations in his ears.
Can someone like Fat Aunt enter the sales department? Why does this give him a fantasy feeling?
What can a fat aunt do in the sales department?
From Cheng Zhenyuan's point of view, Fat Aunt is a bit reluctant as an ordinary worker. People like her seem to have no intentions. If she wants to follow the sales, then she has to be abducted by others?
"What do you think?" Cheng Zhenyuan hesitated for a moment and did not speak out his thoughts immediately, but asked instead.
The fat aunt hesitated for a moment, then finally said: "I think I can do it. As long as we work together in the factory, loess can be turned into gold!"
Cheng Zhenyuan really doesn't want to hurt his old neighbor. You are so confident in what you say. According to your conditions, you can't just grab someone and force it into their hands when you go to sales, right? Just be violent with her. You have such a bad temper that you can ruin the business in just a few words?
"Fat Aunt, did Director Shen say why he let you go?"
"Director Shen told me that I was born to be in sales. He told me to be bold and follow his arrangements." The fat aunt rubbed her hands and said, "I didn't expect that I would be able to do it as well." I have such a talent! It’s just that, except for Director Shen, no one has discovered this talent of mine yet!”
Looking at the fat aunt who looked like she was a talent that had been buried for many years, Cheng Zhenyuan was speechless for a while. But since Shen Lin said this, Cheng Zhenyuan could only patiently say: "Then why don't you try it, and come back if it doesn't work."
The fat aunt nodded and said: "Old Cheng, I heard from Director Shen that if we go into sales, we will not only get wages, but also bonuses."
"When the bonus is paid, I'll treat you to a drink."
While speaking, the fat aunt, who was full of excitement, left Cheng Zhenyuan's office in a swaying manner. Judging from the fat aunt's steps, Cheng Zhenyuan felt that the fat aunt should be full of excitement about her new job.
Just when Cheng Zhenyuan was a little depressed and wondering whether he should persuade Shen Lin to reconsider Fat Aunt's work arrangements, Shen Lin had already arrived at Dongzhou Radio and Television Station.
In the eyes of ordinary people, radio and television stations at this time are full of mystery, and people's hearts are full of yearning.
After all, in that era, being able to watch TV was already an extremely enviable thing. Many people felt that people who could work in TV stations were at a higher level than ordinary people.
"Boss Shen, you mean, you want to place ads on our TV station?" After Shen Lin found the deputy director of the TV station and expressed his intention, Xu Zhongxiao, the deputy director, looked at Shen Lin in surprise and repeatedly asked for confirmation. road.
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Yes, Director Xu, we want to put a product in our factory on the market, so we want to advertise it on TV."
"But our advertising time has been fully arranged. Boss Shen, if you want to invest in advertising, you will have to wait for a while." Xu Zhongxiao pondered for a moment and then refused.
Shen Lin smiled and said, "Director Xu, I don't want your advertising time."
"If you don't want advertising time, then what time do you want?" When Shen Lin said that he didn't want advertising, Xu Zhongxiao even wondered if Shen Lin was specifically here to tease him.
If you come here and say that you want to place ads, and then say that you don’t want advertising time, isn’t this an obvious joke on yourself?
Shen Lin looked at Xu Taizi, who was a little angry, and quickly explained: "I hope to use your station's garbage time to broadcast our advertisements."
"I looked at the arrangements of our TV station. We basically have no TV programs before 7 a.m., no TV programs after 2 p.m., and no TV programs after 11 p.m."
"So, I hope to be able to buy our TV station's ten minutes before seven o'clock, ten minutes after two o'clock, and ten minutes after eleven o'clock in the evening."
"In this half hour, I hope your station can broadcast advertisements for our factory's products. As for the price, I can pay 3,000 yuan a month!"
Listening to Shen Lin's words, Xu Zhongxiao became more and more confused. These three times were basically garbage time.
When advertising in Taichung, people's first choice is of course prime time. Basically, no one wants this kind of garbage time.
This young Xiao Shen, what is he going to do?
However, Shen Lin's proposal made Xu Zhongxiao excited. Now their TV station is also paying attention to seeking benefits from the market.
The benefits of TV station employees and the wages of temporary staff are a problem that they, the station leaders, cannot avoid. But there are only so many TV programs. They want to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and they can control the expenditure by themselves; but this is too difficult to open up. .After all, making money is not an easy task.
So Xu Zhongxiao has always had a headache about money.
Now suddenly there is such a scapegoat, claiming that he wants to buy garbage time that no one wants to advertise. He can earn 3,000 yuan by playing half an hour more every day. This thing is quite cost-effective.
"Okay, Boss Shen, since you are so sincere, let's make it a deal." Xu Zhongxiao pondered for a moment and then made a decision: "But you have also invested in the advertising, so you need to pay us three thousand yuan first. OK."
