My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 168 The picture I’m drawing is of a man
Having worked as a security guard for forty years in his previous life, Weidong probably has never experienced the experience of being flattering with female colleagues.

This job is really not tiring.

But unexpectedly, Jin Zhuoqun called the next day and said, "There are three ad spots available before the Olympics closing ceremony at 8:30 the day after tomorrow morning. Each spot is 8,000. If we sign them and they last for a month, the total is 36,000. They were originally scheduled after the news broadcast, but didn't you say the latter part wouldn't be as good as the previous one? I negotiated with them. It's impossible to put it before the news broadcast, but can we move it to before the weather forecast?"

It made Weidong feel numb all over!
Olympic Closing Ceremony?!

Are brick platforms so cheap?

But when he thought about it, it made sense. He had inquired about Bei Qiaofeng's deeds in the past two days. The reform pioneer's promise when he contracted the paper mill was to make a profit of 200,000 yuan.

The Nan Murong Shirt Factory, which started the reform wave in 81, now has fixed assets of only 50.

This is an enterprise in Langbowan that was established during the reform and opening up period.

One year of advertising can clear out all the fixed assets.

The Hongguang factory also said that it can survive with an annual output of 50 tons, and the Xishan factory can live comfortably by making a small profit with an annual output value of 4 million.

So this price is not cheap either.

What’s more important is that the products at the moment are in short supply, including the Yanwu tape recorder, which has not yet been advertised on the TV station.

They will all be sold out anyway, so why spend that money?

Therefore, those who advertise on brick platforms are the last resort because their products are unsaleable.

Perhaps only by combining the mentality of future generations at this time can Weidong realize that the problem is not production or sales, but the circulation link in the middle.

Just like the old leader in Shangzhou, he believed that business was nothing more than a simple porter from production to sales, so merchants like You Qili who bought low and sold high in the middle were particularly hateful.

However, the planned economy that only provided rationed supply to cities in previous years has proven to be ineffective. Once the consumption capacity in cities is liberalized, there will be an explosive increase in demand in the huge rural market.

At this time, relying on the simple allocation of the few fleets and porters from various manufacturers is completely unable to meet this situation.

So the key now is circulation!

Wei Dong even figured out in an instant why Yanwu tape recorders had not yet been advertised on TV. Wasn't it because their products could not be distributed across the country?

The production volume cannot be increased, so we cannot seize this opportunity for explosive growth, and advertising is useless.

Once they have laid a good foundation and the entire circulation market gradually becomes smooth and uncongested, they will start advertising.

College students once asked their boss why they still needed to advertise since our cameras and sanitary napkins were in short supply.

Weidong explained to the Post and Telecommunications Equipment Factory that the shortage of supply is only temporary. If they don't put up the sign while everyone is busy selling things, there will be a shopping frenzy in the future.

Every penny invested now will turn into tens of thousands in the future!

I really didn't expect that the advertising fee for such a boastful platform would be so cheap.

But looking at their current picture quality, it is indeed worth the price.

Weidong placed an order with Jin Zhuoqun. "Okay, where are you? I'll be there to sign the contract. I want this to last the entire year if possible... No, I should pay for this time slot, and I can use other ads in this spot. As long as they approve it, we can use different ads. I can sign for five years, and the price can increase every year."

He is very clear about this and should not treat everyone as a fool.

If you are looking for a bargain now, don’t expect to find it forever.

The price of pork offal is one cent per hanging, which allows Weidong to raise the price on its own initiative and also link it to the market price of beef noodles. There is a reference for any future price increases, and no one suffers a loss.

Jin Zhuoqun immediately said excitedly: "Yes, yes, we can keep shooting new commercials... We can even recruit customers from outside and offer higher prices, right?"

Weidong said yes, he had discovered what business model this touched upon, but he didn't understand it and had never seen it in the security room.

Then let’s make an appointment to go to Zhuanertai to sign the contract right away.

After hanging up the phone, he gave Shen Cuiyue an order: "Don't be busy with other things these days. Use all the manpower you used to manage the sanitary napkin factory. Discuss with Sister Dong about allocating funds and ask Jiangda's mechanical and electrical engineering department to work hard to produce sanitary napkin machines. Produce them as fast as possible... No, we should dismantle that school-run factory and ship it to somewhere else to build a factory. Convert it into a sanitary napkin machine production workshop. It will be a joint venture between us and Jiangda!"

After Shen Cuiyue understood that the advertisement would be published on the Lianbo News, she nodded repeatedly before the weather forecast. "Okay! Very good! This business will definitely sell out. I'll make the calls. You go ahead and bring Xiao Liu with you as the financial officer."

He told Weidong to hurry downstairs and leave, but the actress was sitting in the lobby cafe with a girl. Seeing him from a distance, she stood up to greet him: "Weidong, you've been working hard these past few days. I just happened to come over with my niece to see if there's anything I can help you with."

To be honest, there are no small-time actors nowadays. Most of them have risen through the ranks of propaganda teams, song and dance troupes, and various drama troupes, and then become employees in film studios.

Even if they are occasionally selected through some channels to become actors, they basically start in their early twenties.

The heroines who look young and beautiful in movies are often around 30 years old.

Moreover, actors nowadays are just ordinary literary and artistic workers, office workers who get salaries from film studios and TV stations and get subsidies for filming. They are just generally good-looking, but except for a very few top-tier ones, the others don’t have any star quality.

So after taking off her makeup, she really looked like an older sister, much older than the dancing girl. Wei Dongguang glanced at the girl next to her and thought, "Oh, is this because she realizes she's at a disadvantage and wants to test the cadres with someone younger?"

Unfortunately, our family has already figured out the sisters’ tricks.

She almost glued his gaze to her. She was wearing a simple gray-green shirt and had messy hair tied up, but it couldn't hide her youthful beauty with bright eyes and white teeth. "Hello, teacher."

Generous and upright.

Rang Weidong nodded and said, "Old Jin and I have something to do at Zhuan'ertai. You need to meet with the newspaper. They will be here around five o'clock. This is the last day. After the closing ceremony tomorrow morning, everyone's mission will be completed."

Unexpectedly, the actress sister said calmly and ruthlessly: "Are you going to Zhuan'ertai? I'm familiar with that place and often go there to do business. Let me help you."

It’s no wonder that Weidong has never been to Zhuanertai.

In fact, Jin Zhuoqun said that he also used this "Feiyan" as a stepping stone to get in, and he was still talking about that business model. Let Weidong think about it and nodded: "Let's go, we'll talk on the way."

When they got out, opened the door, and got in the car, the older actress took the initiative to sit in the back. She leaned over the backrest and leaned over to discuss the matter. Not only did she introduce her niece, but she also made her actions more intimate. "Xiaoqiu just got into the Film Academy this year and will be enrolling in September. I heard from Lao Jin that your TV series needs younger actors, so I wanted to come and get acquainted with them first."

Wei Dong looked straight ahead and said, "TV series are Lao Jin's business. I'm just a businessman selling things. Do you know what's going on with the current commercials on Zhuan'er TV?"

Speaking of which, high-end hotels usually have a huge front door covered porch to facilitate guests to park in this elegant upper and lower floors, but parking is generally not allowed.

Even at the Swan Hotel, there are only two Rolls-Royces parked at the entrance to receive top VIPs, and the Mercedes-Benz has to be hidden in the underground garage.

As it happened, when Weidong was picking up and dropping off people in his small jeep with a cloth awning, the foreign manager warmly invited him to stop by the flower bed on the left side of the gate. He exclaimed that this was the style of the original design of this rural resort hotel, and the earliest design drawing even included this car!
It can only be said that this casual style, which can only be appreciated in China in later generations, is really in line with Rang Weidong.

Now wave to the doorman to express your gratitude and drive into Chang'an Avenue.

The beautiful girl next to him couldn't help but take a few more glances. Even if he wasn't as handsome as Pan An, the young man's free and easy spirit made his appearance look golden.

But only the older sister knew how to cater to the situation. She immediately described it like she knew it by heart: "Yes, we have an advertising department, but we can't just do random ads. They have to be service-oriented and convenient ads. Everyone is watching. If this ad is on TV, the red flag will fall to the ground, and the old cadres will curse."

Weidong felt a little uneasy again: "Then our advertisement will not be allowed, right?"

The older sister leaned over and rubbed the back of the chair affectionately. "That's why the title 'Flying Swallow' is so important. No one should criticize it. Besides, I heard you guys have sent quite a few samples to various sectors in the capital these days, and they've all been very positive!"

Oh, speaking of this, Weidong reminded him: "Okay, I'll go get some more. This TV station also needs to ensure the welfare of lesbians."

So we turned around at the Second Ring Road in front, went back to the factory and loaded two large bags. The girl in the passenger seat got out to help, and the older sister smiled and helped clean up the trunk space in the back seat.

Shitou in the guard room quickly stood on tiptoe to check, and got a hit on the head by Weidong. After the jeep drove away, he quickly called his third sister at the hotel to report.

Shen Cuiyue sighed: "What's the big deal? I don't mind him having a concubine, but he's too powerful. If I'm not around, someone else will squeeze in at any time. Life is too tiring."

In fact, Weidong had no intention of picking up girls. He was a straight man and said casually: "You're welcome. Feel free to take a few packets for yourself later."

The girl in the passenger seat blushed with embarrassment.

Who would give this away all the time?

The older sister quickly tried to smooth things over: "Weidong is very down-to-earth! Lao Jin has said this many times on the set. Seeing you work so hard and get things done, casting for this TV series is about to start, right?"

Wei Dong didn't want to be flattered, but he thought of probing: "Uh, yes, you've seen a lot in the film and television industry. There's a young actor named Wang. Have you heard of Wang Zhiwen?"

This was the first time he heard Jin Zhuoqun talk about this TV series, and the image that popped up in his mind instantly.

When he has nothing to do, he sits in the security room and watches a lot of TV series.

Wang Zhiwen is considered a TV King-level figure later on. Weidong has basically watched every drama of his and his acting skills are remarkable and left a deep impression on him.

No matter how many people say he is pretentious, artificial, or over-the-top, he is still better than the actors who leave nothing behind.

It is more likely to bring this TV series, which is likely to remain unknown, to a higher level.

And Wei Dong vaguely remembered that the other person was about the same age as himself.

He is about twenty years old now.

Then play the role of this revolutionary pioneer who joined the Officer Training Corps at the age of fifteen, sailed to Japan at the age of nineteen, returned to China at the age of twenty-two, became the secretary of Jiangzhou District at the age of twenty-eight, and was martyred at the age of twenty-nine.

It's just right.

The older sister thought about it carefully and shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, but I will definitely keep an eye out for you."

Thank you for letting Weidong.
