Life 1984

Li Yunhai asked calmly, "Meilin, is there anything wrong?"

Chen Meilin looked at him with a very strange look in her eyes. She wanted to leave at first, but she had to stand still after hearing what he said. She said, "We found hundreds of car dealers in the online yellow pages, and none of them signed up for our car launch. Let me ask you, do we have to send invitations to all these dealers?"

Li Yunhai nodded and said, "Yes, you should call them first and invite them verbally. If they are willing, you can send them an invitation letter. This will make it more formal."

Chen Meilin glanced at Gong Li, whose face was flushed. Seeing that he lowered his head and didn't look at her, she said, "Okay! Then a new problem arises. If all these people agree to come, the scale of our press conference will have to be upgraded."

Li Yunhai said: "Then let's upgrade the level of the press conference by two levels! After confirming the number of people, remember to summarize them. We need to book hotels and restaurants in advance."

Chen Meilin said okay, bit her lip, and walked out.

Gong Li had been looking down just now, but he was actually observing Chen Meilin and Li Yunhai from the corner of his eyes. After Chen Meilin left, he smiled and said, "Why do I feel that her vision is a little special? Does she like you too?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "There are so many women who like me! If I want everyone, a thousand days a year wouldn't be enough."

Gong Li chuckled and said, "I really believe this. You are young and rich, a real tall, rich and handsome man. In this age where everything is based on money, as long as you beckon, there will be a lot of girls rushing to you. Hey, what do you think about what I just told you?"

Li Yunhai pretended not to remember and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gong Li was next to him, holding his arm and shaking it, saying, "It's about asking me to be a spokesperson for the car! I have very few film offers recently, and I don't want to go the low-end route of TV dramas, so I can only seek endorsements, advertisements, variety shows and other activities to increase my activity. Otherwise, in a few years, the audience will forget about me."

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "There is a variety show in our province. How about I arrange for you to be on it?"

"No, such a small-town program won't have much effect. You can arrange for me to appear on CCTV." Gong Li smiled proudly, "That would be worthy of our status."

There is not much deep friendship to speak of between Li Yunhai and Gong Li.

When they are together, they are more spontaneous.

Although Gong Li strongly denied it, she was with Li Yunhai because of his wealth and status.

But it is undeniable that if Li Yunhai was still selling things on the street or running only a small shop, how could Gong Li possibly give up her love for him?
Li Yunhai pinched her face and said, "CCTV program? Then I have to contact them first. However, with your popularity, it shouldn't be difficult to get on. Go to the hotel and wait for me. I'll come find you after I'm done with my work here."

Gong Li smiled gently, kissed him on the cheek, stood up and said, "Don't you have a lounge here? Can't we just stay in there?"

Li Yunhai said: "You should go to the hotel and wait for me obediently. This is not a place to play."

Gong Li nodded helplessly and left slowly.

Li Yunhai called Wu Yongli, Wang Jinwen, Gao Ping and others to discuss expanding the press conference.

There is a large open area on the first floor of Sihai Group, where the company’s press conferences used to be held.

But car launches are certainly different from chip and mobile phone launches.

Cars take up more space.

You can't just show one car, that would be too monotonous.

Xihai Starlight has several configuration versions and many different colors, all of which will be displayed for exhibitors to visit conveniently, and they will even be given the opportunity to test ride and test drive.

Gao Ping came up with an idea: "Boss, we can rent the provincial exhibition hall. There is definitely enough space there!"

Li Yunhai nodded slowly. He had the same idea.

Wu Yongli said, "The Provincial Exhibition Hall is good, but we can't test drive our cars. Why not rent the Xizhou Stadium? Such a large venue can easily accommodate thousands of people. We can also seal off the surrounding track and make a test drive track. Anyone who attends the press conference can test drive our cars as long as they have their own driver's license."

Li Yunhai's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Hey, this idea is amazing! Creative! Yeah, not bad!"

Wang Jinwen said, "Isn't that place too big? It's so empty that you can't even hear what people are saying."

Li Yunhai said: "That's fine. We can get a set of advanced sound equipment, just like a celebrity concert. We can even invite celebrities to come and sing to liven up the atmosphere."

Gao Ping smiled and said, "There are also car models! This is indispensable! We must hire the best car models! The prettier the car models are, the more high-end our cars will appear."

Wang Jinwen said, "This is a press conference, not a trade show. Is it necessary to make such a big show? It would be nice to pick a few female employees with good figures in the company and let them be car models."

Gao Ping shook his head and said, "How can professionals and amateurs be the same? The contrast is huge! If we really choose models from our own company, the press conference we hold will be on the same level as the trade show of a fourth-tier small factory."

Li Yunhai said: "Invite a model! Invite the best model! Even Miss World will do!"

Gao Ping laughed and said, "Boss, are you serious? Or are you joking?"

Li Yunhai asked, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Gao Ping high-fived and laughed, "Great! That's great! Since the boss doesn't care about the budget, of course we have to invite the best models."

Wu Yongli said: "We need models who dare to show off! Some models are too conservative and don't have any gimmicks."

Wang Jinwen said: "I'm afraid that by then, the media reporters will be busy taking pictures of the models and not our cars."

Gao Ping said: "It's okay, the models are standing next to the car anyway, as long as our car logo is included in the photo."

He is indeed a real man. When it comes to women, he has endless topics to talk about.

Li Yunhai was listening to their conversation, but the topic went completely off track, from discussing the press conference to talking about models, and it took him a while to bring it back to the topic.

He was in no hurry and let them discuss.

After the popularity of the model died down, Li Yunhai said, "For this press conference, more than a hundred large-scale dealers across the country did not sign up. This shows that our publicity is still not in place."

Wang Jinwen said: "Boss, maybe the publicity is in place, but these dealers look down on emerging car companies like us!"

Gao Ping said: "Si Hai Group is well-known. Unless they are blind, they can't see the car we make! Our Si Hai Xing Guang will definitely sell well! They will regret it then!"

Li Yunhai said: "No, we can't give them the chance to regret it."

Gao Ping said: "Right! Once we succeed, we won't let them play with us!"

Li Yunhai said: "I mean, we have already invited them to come, we can't leave them behind!"

Gao Ping said "Oh" twice: "Boss is wise."

Li Yunhai asked: "Do you have any other ideas to improve our brand awareness?"

Wang Jinwen said: "If an automobile company wants to become bigger and stronger, it cannot rely on overwhelming advertising alone. It also needs to rely on solid technology and quality. When our first mass-produced car has a certain number of shares in China, it will naturally become popular. I have full confidence in the quality of our cars."

Wu Yongli said: "Boss, we are really amateurs when it comes to marketing."

Li Yunhai said: "Just now you mentioned a word, gimmick! I think this word is very good. We must constantly prevent gimmicks, so as to increase the exposure of our cars. Variety shows are very popular in China now, and we can put advertisements on these variety shows."

Gao Ping said, "Boss, I have an idea. I want to advertise with car dealers. I found that many car dealers have banners at the door, mainly with promotional information. We will give them an advertising fee and buy the advertising rights for two or three years! This kind of advertising investment is more accurate than that on TV stations because it targets people who want to buy cars."

Li Yunhai said: "Well, this is a brilliant idea! Needless to say, the advertising of Auto City will definitely be effective! Consumers will subconsciously think that the model advertised is the main model promoted by Auto City and is also the hot-selling model on promotion."

Gao Ping said: "Yes! Most of those who can go to the Auto City are potential customers. These people are accurate customers." Li Yunhai said: "What do you think is the best way for us to cooperate with dealers? Should we give them rebates? Or commissions? Or give them discounts directly?"

Gao Ping said: "Boss, the main source of profit for car dealers is car sales. Secondly, car dealers can also earn income from after-sales maintenance, car insurance, loans and other financial services. The current distribution model is to purchase cars first and then sell them. This is also the safest way for our factory to ensure cash flow."

Li Yunhai said: "What if I adopt a new cooperation model? We set the price of the cars they purchase higher, but if they sell our cars and reach a certain threshold, we will give them a corresponding rebate. For example, if they sell 10 cars a month, the rebate will be a certain amount; if they sell 50 cars a month, the rebate will be a certain amount."

Gao Ping and others all laughed and said, "If we do this, it will motivate dealers even more."

Li Yunhai said: "Then let's discuss how to return the money and how to cooperate."

After discussing for most of the day, several people came up with a preliminary plan.

The specific rebate policy needs to be discussed with major dealers.

In fact, as long as the dealer is big enough and the monthly shipments are large enough, the purchase price and rebates of the cars can be negotiated.

A big store can bully customers and also bully merchants!

This is the truth.

Time to get off.

Li Yunhai received a call from Gong Li.

"My dear, why don't you come over? I miss you!" Gong Li seduced Li Yunhai in a coquettish voice on the phone.

Li Yunhai is getting angry recently!
Hearing her smacking her lips on the other end of the phone, I couldn't help but feel excited and said, "I'll be right over."

Gong Li chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm done washing and waiting for you! Today, I will give you a surprise. Come quickly!"

Li Yunhai laughed and hung up the phone.

He walked out of the office and ran into Chen Meilin.

"Let's have dinner together!" said Chen Meilin.

Li Yunhai said: "I have an appointment."

Chen Meilin bit her lip and said resentfully, "Is it that Gong Li?"

Li Yunhai said calmly: "You ask even though you know the answer."

Chen Meilin's pretty face was flushed with rouge. She asked, "Are you doing this to Sister Lin Zhi? Are you doing this to my mom?"

Li Yunhai's face darkened and he said, "Meilin, you're meddling too much!"

Chen Meilin got angry, stretched out her arms, blocked him, and said, "You've gone too far! You're always like that in the office!"

Li Yunhai stretched out his hand, placed it on her tender face, then gently pushed her away and said, "Don't mind my business!"

Chen Meilin watched him walk away, stamping her feet and muttering, "You actually like such a tall woman! She has such a big frame! What's so fun about that!"

Li Yunhai heard it, turned around and glared at her, and said, "Go home obediently! Don't follow me."

Chen Meilin's eyes rolled.

Li Yunhai's words really reminded her.

She really had never thought about following Li Yunhai before.

Now she was curious.

So Chen Meilin followed and took the elevator downstairs with Li Yunhai.

They took a special elevator with no one else in it.

"Are all you men like this? As long as she's a woman, you're fine with it?"

"Yeah! Sorry to disappoint you! Fortunately, I have never created a character, so my character will not collapse."

"Humph!"

"Stop humming! You don't understand adult matters."

"Ugh!"

“Young men don’t know what it’s like to be sad!”

"elder brother!"

"Hey, you're calling me brother again?"

"I call you dad, aren't I afraid of calling you old? Brother, does Sister Linzhi know that you are doing this?"

"she knows!"

"Ah? She really knows?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, just tell her. I guarantee she won't react at all."

"Tell your secrets? I won't do that. But can you take me with you when you eat?"

"Haha! Do you really think that I asked her out for dinner?"

"It's dinner time now. What are you going to do instead of eating?"

"Love!"

"what?"

Li Yunhai's confession caught Chen Meilin off guard and her face turned red.

No matter how naughty Chen Meilin was, she was just a little girl after all. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but lower her head, feeling shy.

Li Yunhai smiled slightly, thinking, you are a girl, you still want to control me? You are still very young!
Chen Meilin instantly gave up the idea of ​​following him any further.

Her mood plummeted and she became listless.

Seeing Li Yunhai go to the Sihai Tianhua Hotel next door, Chen Meilin felt dizzy.

She didn't want to go home for dinner, but walked aimlessly on the street. (End of this chapter)
