Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 64 Extremely jealous
  The advertising campaign for Time Brand cigarettes was held in their headquarters building, but compared to Heinz and Jia's, this time Tang De obviously felt that the whole building looked much older after arriving.

The corridors are full of introductions about the founder and corporate culture. Employees are also wearing dark suits and running quickly between offices.

"It looks quite serious." Jimmy couldn't accept such an atmosphere and looked depressed.

"After all, it's a tobacco company, you know, it's a long time ago." Shiguang cigarettes originated in 1956, and the company has always been controlled by the Sommer family. Due to fixed products and fixed personnel, the company's management is inevitably somewhat rigid, and the atmosphere cannot be relaxed.

The current president of the company is Mark Sommer, the son of chairman Abby Sommer. People outside the company often refer to the two as Big Sommer and Little Sommer.

Tang De, Jimmy and Cindy walked into the meeting room together. This time, all the advertising companies were still sitting together.

Only this time, when other companies saw Tang De and others sitting behind the supreme creative sign, their expressions looked quite solemn.

Because everyone in the industry knows that this is a company that prides itself on top creativity. Although it sounds exaggerated, at least it won the first battle beautifully.

Even New York industry leader Ogilvy & Mather Advertising had no competition for the new company.

Of course, even Ogilvy & Mather Advertising has industries that it is not good at. In fact, in the tobacco industry, IPG and DDB (Hengmei Advertising) are the largest advertising agencies and competitors in New York.

IPG aside, Hengmei Advertising is affiliated to Omnikon, one of the world's leading advertising and media groups, with abundant funds and a wide range of talents.

It's just that this time they unexpectedly sent a two-person team to compete with other advertising companies, which made people a little confused.

Tang De looked at the teams of each company and got an idea of ​​the intensity of competition for Time Brand advertising.

Generally speaking, the more important a client is, the more people an advertising agency will send. Except for small companies that don’t have enough manpower, large companies usually start with three people, with five or six people being the most.

After all, if you come with great fanfare, it would be terrible if you leave in despair.

However, Supreme Creative has always had a stable trio, with the boss, the manager, and a girl who is both a helper and an eye-catcher.

No, maybe Caiden told Cindy in advance, and Cindy, like her, also squeezed Tang De's shoulders, making Jimmy jealous.

"Damn it, I must bring Lilina here next time!" Jimmy has been very close to the pink-haired sister recently.

At the same time, Gilmer, the leader of IPG across the table, frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, Supreme Creative had intervened in the advertising campaign of the cigarette brand. Did they think they could replicate the sales miracle of Chia's?

Just kidding, he scoffed at this. Tobacco brands are not just cheap ideas that can attract customers.

Any advertising slogans that may refer to health are not allowed, not even hints.

Therefore, when doing this kind of advertising, everyone looks for highlights from the brand to expand their creativity. However, Gilmer doesn't think Supreme Creative can understand this kind of deeper advertising design.

After all, this company is just a small company that has just been established for a few months, and does not have as deep an industry background as my own.

I won't give away the cake in my hand to others like stupid Rose!

Therefore, he attaches more importance to Hengmei Advertising than to Supreme Creative, because Hengmei has deeper qualifications and is responsible for more industries, so it must be a strong competitor!

Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the conference room opened again, and the unsmiling middle-aged secretary walked in with three people.

"Maroni?" Jimmy immediately became happy when he saw this guy.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet them here." Tang De also looked at Maroni with a smile. He still looks like a slut, wearing a white suit and red tie, like a duck in a nightclub.

And Maroni and the others also felt their eyes turning.

"Who is that? Why are you looking at us?" Phoebe stood behind Maroni and looked at the sign in front of Tang De with Torion.

"Supreme Creativity? Is that them?"

"Don De, Jimmy?" Only Maroni looked like he had seen a ghost. He never expected that the representative of supreme creativity was Don De.

Bringing the two young men to Tang De, Maroni said with a smile: "Long time no see, Tang De, how have you been lately?" Jimmy was the first to extend his hand: "Wow, thanks to you, It’s been a great time!”

"Haha, really? It seems that your new boss trusts you very much." After Maroney finished speaking, Cindy retorted: "No, you are wrong..."

She reached out and reintroduced Jimmy and Donde to Maroni: "This is the manager of our supreme creative, and this is the boss of our supreme creative."

"Boss?" Maroni couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and the original fake smile disappeared: "I didn't expect you two to start a company."

Jimmy laughed: "That's why I said thank you, Maroni. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known how profitable being a boss could be."

Tang De said modestly: "Don't say that, Jimmy, we have just started, and we are still far behind compared with Lion Advertising."

"Yeah, that's right, Maroni. We need you to take more care of us in the future. How about leaving this advertising campaign to us?"

These words made the two young men behind Maroni angry, but neither of them was as fierce as Maroni's inner scolding.

Son of a bitch! The villain succeeds!
  In Maroney's view, these two people are betrayers, and they are not worthy of having their current company and status, and being on an equal footing with him.

But on this occasion, in front of all his colleagues, it was not easy for him to have an attack.

Fortunately, the people he brought in worked.

"So you are Tang De. You know, what you need to be a human being is gratitude. If it weren't for Maroni, you would still be working as garbage lighting technicians for adult movies in the studio!" Phoebe mocked, and Tang De raised his eyebrows and looked. When I came to Maroni, I often talked about myself with these people.

He wasn't angry because it wasn't worth it, but Jimmy couldn't listen to this and directly raised his fist: "Damn brat, who are you calling trash!"

"Of course I'm talking about whoever is angry!"

"It seems that some people don't know how to live or die! I should really educate you for your father!"

"What do you mean? You want a fight? Really?"

"That's right, are you scared?"

"How is that possible! Do you think you can scare me? Just come if you can!"

"Cindy, don't stop me, I'm going to teach this kid a lesson!"

Cindy rolled her eyes and stood behind Tang De, secretly thinking that the boss didn't say anything and I wouldn't stop him.

The people next to them also got up and left immediately, making room for Jimmy and Phoebe.

This situation is not uncommon. In fact, real business wars are often simple and plain. If you can't make sense in words, just use fists to communicate.

If you think about the news about Musk's Octagon fight with Zuckerberg more than 20 years later, you will know that this matter is a tradition in Europe and the United States.

The same was true for Tang De. He stood behind Jimmy and compared the gap between the two.

Cindy came to him and asked: "Boss, is the manager okay?"

Tang De smiled and replied in a low voice: "Do you know what Jimmy's nickname is at school?"

"what is it call?"

"Violent monkey."
