Our Rise Era

Chapter 50: Multiple Inquiries (Two in One)

night.

Deep.

In the new [ZY Toys] factory.

Zhang Gui accidentally saw a set of data released by the Songxiang County TV station. The ratings of the latest episode of "Pope Marvel" seemed to have broken the record again.

The national average comprehensive ratings exceeded 0.15%...

The ratings of the TV shopping program "Zhang Yang Takes You on a Cut" not only did not decrease, but remained at around 0.15%!

Zhang Gui didn't understand what the ratings meant.

But he knew that he was very busy tonight!

It's already two o'clock in the morning!
It's time to stay at home and take a deep sleep.

But he is still busy.

He called his wife, everyone he knew in the village, relatives and friends...

But, I’m still too busy!
"Mr. Zhang, we sold 410 toys yesterday. Today, we're going to double that!"

"Mr. Zhang, there are several cars from the toy store parked outside. They are all coming here. Please go and take a look..."

"Mr. Zhang, there are 800 toy cars piled up over there on TV shopping today. Please go and contact them, find a few more people to answer the phone, and count the addresses..."

"I can't take it anymore. Where are the people? Where the hell have they all gone? Mr. Zhang, find some more people. These statistics are too confusing. Ahhhh!"

"..."

Perhaps it was the word-of-mouth of "Pope Immortal" on the Internet that started to ferment and the TV shopping program "Zhang Yang Helps You Cut the Price" that triggered a series of chain reactions!
Today [ZY Toy Factory] exploded!
It's already 2:30 in the morning, but the ZY Toys factory is still brightly lit and in chaos.

Some were packing toys, some were delivering toys, some were answering the phone until they were exhausted, and some were putting labels everywhere and shouting...

The staff coming and going almost squeezed Zhang Gui's head.

In the middle of the night, the woman ran back to the village again and brought a group of people to help, but she still couldn't cope with the busy business.

At 3:30, after a brief period of chaos, with the help of more former colleagues from the toy factory, the situation was finally stabilized temporarily, and Zhang Gui was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

He looked at the orders one by one and he couldn't hide his excitement.

Today, 1210 dolls in the warehouse were sold, 820 toy trucks with "Pope Man" stickers were sold, and a number of various small toys...

His excitement calmed down a bit. After summarizing and reflecting on today's chaos, he suddenly realized that the chaos was not because he sold too many products, but because these products were sent to different places. It was very troublesome to remember the addresses of each customer. He was busy with such trivial tasks as remembering addresses and receiving customers on the phone. Moreover, it was very troublesome to pack and box these products sent to other regions...

All of this has led to confusion in personnel management and deployment!

After reflecting on it...

Zhang Gui began to gather his energy and think carefully about how to allocate the next step and how to save manpower and material resources...

It's 4 o'clock in the morning.

When everything was finally sorted out, Zhang Gui lay down in the lounge next to him and closed his eyes.

However, when I lie down until 8 o'clock in the morning...

He heard a burst of noise.

He subconsciously opened his eyes, and then saw a large group of reporters appearing in the distance, and Section Chief Lin Chaoxian followed beside him, bringing with him a group of bosses in suits and leather shoes...

When they saw Zhang Gui, the reporters immediately surrounded him excitedly...

....................................

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Yang woke up from his sleep.

He stretched.

Zhang Yang has been busy with this and that during this period. Even though he exercises regularly to keep in good shape, he gradually began to feel overwhelmed.

So, he went to bed early yesterday.

After getting up, I ate breakfast slowly and checked the Internet situation before picking up my phone.

Well, the phone rang off the hook.

From 8 o'clock last night to 9 o'clock this morning, there were more than a hundred missed calls.

There were calls from Section Chief Lin Chaoxian, a call from Zheng Guodong, a call from Taifeng County TV Station, and some other unfamiliar numbers.

Zhang Yang was not surprised by this. He stretched lazily and opened the window. He saw Lin Chaoxian and a group of bosses, who were asking their second uncle Zhang Gui questions in the [ZY Toys] downstairs.

A ray of sunlight outside the window shone on Zhang Yang's face.

Zhang Yang put on his suit, straightened his clothes, opened the door and walked down slowly.

"Wow!"

"Mr. Zhang is here!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I'm Wu Xiuxiu, a reporter from Taifeng County. We've met before!"

"Hello..." Zhang Yang just walked down and saw a large group of people surrounding him. The young reporter leading them was no stranger to Zhang Yang.

"Mr. Zhang, first of all, congratulations on the record-breaking ratings of our show Popeye. Congratulations on the popularity of our show Zhang Yang Takes You on a Cut. This is undoubtedly another successful case of you feeding back traffic to the real economy, and it has also formed a unique show..."

"Ah? I went to bed early last night, so I don't know the ratings... Can you tell me about the ratings?"

"You don't know?"

"Yeah, I'm so tired these days!"

"oh oh!"

In front of the camera, Zhang Yang was stunned, and immediately looked at Wu Xiuxiu in confusion.

Wu Xiuxiu was also stunned, and then quickly took out a report: "Mr. Zhang, yesterday your "Pope Power" national average ratings reached an astonishing 0.15%, and the total ratings reached 1.05%, breaking the historical record. Your "Zhang Yang Takes You to Cut a Knife" program still maintains this amazing ratings, and our "ZY Toys" sales doubled last night..."

"Wow, is it that amazing?"

When Zhang Yang heard this, he was suddenly excited.

"Yes!" Wu Xiuxiu nodded.

But deep down I am too tired to complain.

Is it necessary to pretend like this in front of the camera?

Just so I can read the ratings again on the news?

"Oh...then these are..."

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, then looked at Lin Chaoxian next to him. His expression was confused and dazed at first, but then became puzzled, as if he didn't know Section Chief Lin Chaoxian at all.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, hello, I'm Lin Chaoxian from Taifeng County!"

"Ah, Chief Lin, hello, hello! I've heard a lot about you, Chief Lin, these are..."

"Oh, because our program [Zhang Yang Takes You on a Cut] is very popular with the audience, many brands want to talk to you and want to bring us more and better products..."

"Ah! Hello, hello, this is Section Chief Lin..."

Just as Zhang Yang was saying hello and preparing to welcome these people in front of the camera, a group of reporters and some brand owners in suits and ties came from a distance.

This group of people was brought here personally by Zheng Mingli, the director of Songxiang County TV Station.

"Mr. Zhang, hello!"

"Ah, it's Director Zheng. Hello, hello. What brings you here?"

"Haha, congratulations. Yesterday's program [Zhang Yang Takes You to Chop] was very good, and the leaders were very satisfied. This time, I brought some local companies from [Songxiang County] to see if we can cooperate..."

"Oh, good, good, good! Come in, everyone come in, everyone come in and chat..."

"..."

....................................

"Actually, my original intention for doing the program [Zhang Yang Takes You on a Cut] was to help our [ZY Toys] factory sell some toys..."

"Everyone knows that a major incident occurred at the predecessor of ZY Toys, Tianxin Toy Factory, some time ago..." "This incident directly caused Mr. Zhang Gui to fall into a complicated vortex, and he was unable to extricate himself for a long time."

"I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to be frank. Zhang Gui is my uncle. He has been helping me and supporting my uncle since I was a child. I can't just watch my uncle fall into the quagmire..."

"But, I didn't expect that [Zhang Yang Takes You on a Cut] would be so popular with the audience in just the second episode, which kept our ratings high and helped us sell a lot of toys..."

"I never expected that so many brand friends would take a fancy to me..."

"I feel very honored, but at the same time, I am very anxious. I have received too much attention during this period, which has put me under a lot of pressure. Some people told me that I seemed to have become famous overnight. I was very happy at the time, but after reading a series of comments on the Internet, I began to feel anxious and suffered from insomnia all night long..."

"As a public figure who has suddenly been the focus of so many people's attention, I feel really stressed!"

noon.

[Songxiang County] and [Taifeng County] played a very strange meeting video at the same time.

Li Kangjian from Kelly 48 Daily Chemicals happened to see this midday news while having lunch.

He saw Zhang Yang stand up from the main seat in the conference room, first bowed to the leaders of the two counties to express his gratitude, and then said a series of words to the camera with a complicated look.

Li Kangjian was stunned.

Although Zhang Yang's eyes were sincere and every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, and from his tone, one could vaguely hear a wave of fear and trepidation, but, I don't know what's going on...

Li Kangjian always had a feeling that this guy was very shameless.

He took a deep breath to keep himself calm, then took out a detailed information of Zhang Yang from his arms.

This material starts with Zhang Yang and Fatty Yuan's failed stock trading, then Zhang Yang's sudden rise, and then "Pope Superman" and Zhang Yang's inexplicable popularity on the Internet...

On the surface, he seems to be an "excellent" young man who seized the opportunities of the times and then became popular on the Internet.

But after careful consideration, Li Kangjian discovered that there was a hint of conspiracy between the lines of the information.

Immediately afterwards...

He then took out several articles related to Zhang Yang from magazines such as Reader's Digest and Yilin, and compared them with those popular articles on the Internet.

It seems like there is some connection, but after careful consideration, it feels wrong. The style of the article does not seem to be...

However, this Zhang Yang's popularity is so strange. If you say there is no mastermind behind this, Li Kangjian will not believe it even if you kill him.

Li Kangjian then looked up again and watched TV.

On TV...

He saw Zhang Yang heaved a sigh of relief in front of the camera, and then gradually became serious.

"I know that some people on the Internet scold me, saying that I am a traffic-hungry person and that I am putting up a pedestal... I also know that many people misunderstand me and say that I have lost all my dignity."

"These make me feel very uncomfortable. This is not what I meant..."

“I just felt that I had to do what I wanted to do…”

"Thank you very much. I really appreciate the attention paid to me by all the leaders, and I am also very grateful to all the brand owners for their trust in me..."

"However, I really want to say one thing. Maybe I have said this before, but I still want to repeat it. I am not interested in money. I enjoy the process of starting a business. I hope that I can use my best efforts in this society to make a little contribution to our hometown, northern Zhejiang Province, and then realize my self-worth through the contribution..."

"I am more eager to bring more high-quality and low-priced products to more viewers who support me in front of the TV..."

"..."

....................................

noon.

[Zhengyang International Food Group] In the office.

During lunch break, Zheng Guodong was also watching the news.

However, when I saw Zhang Yang in front of the camera, saying in a complicated tone that he was being watched and that he was under great pressure, and then clenched his fists, as if he would stick to being himself, that he was not interested in money, but just enjoyed starting a business, and that he only wanted to bring more high-quality and low-priced products to his supportive audience friends...

Even though Zheng Guodong had excellent facial expression management and never showed his emotions, the corner of his mouth twitched and he almost spit out the tea he was drinking.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

He started coughing violently, and it took him a long time to calm down.

He took a deep breath.

He thought Zhang Yang was shameless enough, but he didn't expect that this guy's shamelessness would completely refresh his worldview...

Especially the awe-inspiring look of being a mistress and putting up a memorial archway...

Even Zheng Guodong was shocked!
This person's face is thicker than the city wall!

But then he turned off the TV and looked outside.

The Zheng's Food Co., Ltd. factory was busy all night yesterday, and the machines are still roaring at this moment.

All employees work in two shifts and work overtime.

Zhang Yang's shamelessness brought hope to this factory that was once on the verge of collapse...

After a brief moment of relief, Zheng Guodong received one call after another.

Then, he started to get busy!

He spent the entire afternoon checking various shipping and order information.

Around 6 o'clock in the evening.

The secretary opened the door.

“Mr. Zheng, we have opened up sales outlets in 35 counties in [Northern Zhejiang Province], and the daily shipment volume is about 5 bags…”

"At the same time, we have initially established transportation outlets and warehouses in 35 county towns. On average, there is a vehicle going back and forth in each county every day to ensure that goods can be delivered to the doorstep as soon as possible..."

"..."

Zheng Guodong listened silently to his secretary's report on the sales of Haikang Children's Instant Noodles in recent days and nodded.

The data is displayed.

In 35 counties in northern Zhejiang Province, Haikang Children's Instant Noodles are basically available in all large and small supermarkets.

In addition, supermarkets in other provinces and regions seem to have seen the profits and are coming over.

However, there is still no profit.

But their [Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd.], now [Zhengyang International Food Group], has survived!

However, the transportation is still out of pocket, and I don’t know when I can get this money back…

This time, the money spent on setting up the transportation network was in the tens of thousands every day, and his financial situation was almost exposed.

Just as Zheng Guodong was watching his balance decrease with a headache and was wondering whether he should go to the bank to borrow more money, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Yang came over and brought a young man with him.

"boss Zhang?"

"Mr. Zheng, this is Chief Lin from Songxiang County..."

"Hello, Mr. Zheng!"

"Hello! Chief Lin..."

Zheng Guodong shook hands with Lin Chaoxian, and then warmly invited him to sit down.

After sitting down, Zheng Guodong looked at Zhang Yang who came to his side with a serious expression: "I have discussed our situation with Chief Lin. Now our [Children's Instant Noodles] has sales outlets and preliminary transportation outlets and warehouses in 35 surrounding counties and cities in [Northern Zhejiang Province]. In the future, if the goods I bring over from TV shopping are within these 35 surrounding cities and counties, they will be transported by us [Zhengyang International Food]. The price we offer is lower than other logistics..."

"..."

"On the one hand, it can subsidize our transportation fuel costs, and on the other hand, we can initially establish our own logistics system..."

"..."

"Boss Zheng, believe me, although our logistics system is simple and expensive now, it will be of great use in the future!"

"..."
