In the past two days, with Xu Xiaoming running around, the first batch of Liulaoji herbal tea products have been officially launched in a county in Guangdong Province.
However, the price of RMB 50 makes it prohibitive for many people.
Two days later, Xu Xiaoming felt despair for the first time.
Out of two thousand bags of product, only eleven bags were sold in 48 hours!
What is the concept of eleven bags?
16.5 yuan, even the transportation cost is not enough!
While walking on the streets of Guangdong County, Xu Xiaoming felt like crying when he looked at the people enjoying herbal tea in major herbal tea shops. He spent 100,000 to buy a month's advertising space on this county TV station, and every two
For hours, advertisements for Liu Laoji herbal tea would be played on the TV one after another. However, such frequent advertisements did not have the slightest publicity effect.
The most direct feedback from major supermarkets is that the prices are too expensive.
Xu Xiaoming was going crazy.
Is this price really expensive?
You know, the cost of various raw materials alone is close to 0.5 yuan. If you add packaging, publicity, labor fees, factory rental fees, etc., and spread it out, Liu Laoji herbal tea worth 1.5 yuan is really not expensive!
This does not include the 500,000 yuan purchase fee for the right to use Liu Laoji's secret recipe.
Moreover, Liu Laoji herbal tea can definitely clear away heat, detoxify, cool and dispel fire. It is absolutely different from those herbal teas on the market that are filled with brown sugar water.
But why can’t it be sold?
Under the scorching sun, Xu Xiaoming sat in the herbal tea shop with a sad face, racking his brains.
"buzz"
The vibrating sound of the phone brought Xu Xiaoming back to his senses.
After taking a look at the bustling herbal tea shops on the streets, Xu Xiaoming suddenly felt that maybe it was because the Guangdong market was too small?
If we switch to inland cities such as Donghai, Jingcheng, Jizhou, and Northeast China, will it be a different scene?
"Hello, Mr. Ma, what are you doing?"
Xu Xiaoming held the phone in his hand, stood up suddenly, and shouted in disbelief: "Li Qing wants to see me? I... I have time, yes, yes, yes, just today, this afternoon, I will go now
Buy a plane ticket, okay, I’ll give you a call and say goodbye when you get there!”
Xu Xiaoming's wife was noticed by many people in the herbal tea shop, and everyone looked at each other and smiled.
"Hey, does this guy know Li Qing?"
"I guess he didn't turn on his cell phone and was just talking nonsense."
"Don't show off as a human being, or you'll be struck by lightning if you show off!"
"He wants to know Li Qing, and I also know Bao Yunyun. Haha, you're bragging and you haven't even drafted it yet!"
"You're such a bad boy, you'll be bragging about your life for the rest of your life!"
Xu Xiaoming glanced at the crowd enjoying the coolness in the herbal tea shop, shook his head, turned around and walked out quickly.
He really understands now.
Small cities are indeed as good as small cities, with high quality and low prices, but people live at a slow pace and have limited purchasing power, so they are definitely not suitable for promoting products.
However, why did Li Qing suddenly want to see me?
…
Beijing.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xiaoming got off the plane in a dusty state, took a taxi, and drove towards Hanhai Culture Media Company.
After arriving at the place, I talked on the phone with Ma Xuzhen.
Soon, the front desk lady Yu Qiaoman led Xu Xiaoming to the reception room.
Xu Xiaoming was a little excited, deliberately pulled the tie at the collar, took a deep breath, relaxed his nervous nerves, and quickly walked into the reception room.
In the reception room, Li Qing was talking to Ma Xuzhen with a smile.
After seeing Yu Qiaoman leading Xu Xiaoming in, the two stood up and said with a smile: "Welcome Mr. Xu."
Mr. Ma, haha, we meet again."
Xu Xiaoming suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and after saying hello to Ma Xuzhen, he looked at Li Qing.
With just one glance, Xu Xiaoming took a deep breath.
Looking at that handsome and handsome appearance, he actually felt a little ashamed: "Hello, Mr. Li, you... you are so handsome!"
Li Qing smiled and waved his hand, motioned Xu Xiaoming to sit down, and asked: "Coffee, or tea?"
A moment later, after Yu Qiaoman served three times the tea, Li Qing said: "Mr. Xu, I heard from Xiao Ma that your company wants to sign an endorsement contract with our company's singer Cai Li?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, that's what happened." Xu Xiaoming said with some embarrassment.
"Do you plan to sign for three years?" Li Qing asked again.
Xu Xiaoming's heart skipped a beat.
Now, let alone the first three years, even if he signed for one year, Caili's price of one million was not something he could afford now.
Otherwise, all that awaits him is a broken capital chain, and all his preparations will be reduced to ashes, and all his efforts will be in vain.
Li Qing looked at Xu Xiaoming laughing and felt suspicious in his heart.
If there are really 40 million, Mr. Xu should be very confident, but what's going on with this guilty-minded gesture?
Having said that, after more than a month of polishing by the crew, Li Qing now unconsciously observes the expression dynamics of the person he is talking to when looking at people, and even studies some "micro-expressions" he saw while browsing Weibo in his previous life.
Based on experience, Li Qing can occasionally easily penetrate the mood changes of some young people.
Of course, those demon kings are not within Li Qing's observation range.
Especially the kind of old man who is smiling but not smiling, Li Qing can't see through him at all.
However, it is easy to see through a fledgling young man like Xu Xiaoming.
"this……"
Faced with Li Qing's gaze, Xu Xiaoming finally had no choice but to tell the truth.
In fact, Xu Xiaoming had already planned a showdown with Hanhai during the few hours of free time he had on the plane.
He knows that there is no end to the lies.
As long as Hanhai is willing, after investigation, he will easily find out the status of his assets.
Rather than being scorned in the future, it's better to show off your cards as soon as possible.
If you want to blame, just blame him for not living up to expectations!
When he thought of this, Xu Xiaoming regretted why he bought the secret recipe of Shennong Baicao Tea out of curiosity.
If he didn't buy this secret recipe, he wouldn't tie himself to Liu Laoji herbal tea now. If he takes a few steps forward, he might find better business opportunities.
But there is no regret medicine in the world. I only blame myself for my bad luck and lack of experience, and I made an impulsive decision without careful investigation.
As the saying goes, one learns from every experience. After experiencing this incident, Xu Xiaoming was filled with emotions.
He began to summarize the experience of this failure.
At this time, Xu Xiaoming had decided to give up Liu Laoji herbal tea and continue to look for other business opportunities.
However, when he heard about Xu Xiaoming's current predicament, Li Qing suddenly smiled.
Such a smile appeared a bit strange after the tragic situation Xu Xiaoming had just described, making both Xu Xiaoming and Ma Xuyi shudder uncontrollably.
"Can you resell your herbal tea secret recipe to me?" Li Qing looked at Xu Xiaoming and smiled happily.
At this time, Xu Xiaoming looked confused. Take over?
What he didn't know was that he had turned into a shining golden mountain in front of this big star.
