My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 354 The more you dig with a hoe, the more likely you are to take the blame.

But Wei Dong still didn't recognize Steve Jobs, nor did he know the status of Apple's advertising, or even that Apple made computers.

After a few seconds of mental turmoil, I decided that since I was already here, I might as well go through with the whole routine.

"I just made this to show you how to generate traffic and popularity. I didn't ask you for a single penny. Can't we make this ourselves?"

She was nervous about changing translators. She really liked the second ad, but was she just keeping it for herself?

Steve doted on the genius: "Oh, oh, oh, that's not what I meant. I'll pay for the ad shoot. You have a strong brand management ability, and you can pinpoint the direction perfectly—a direction that's unbelievably great. But great brands don't need to be so vulgar..."

The girl, who seemed to think she was being vulgar, exclaimed in grievance, "How am I being vulgar again? I think it looks great..."

Wei Dong saw that Steve had taken advantage of a break in the translation to call his assistant to settle the bill with the advertising shooting team.

Not expensive at all. You'll have your own actors and plans, and you're even friends with Tanaka. I'll offer you a sincere deal of three million yen.

This is a really friendly price in Tokyo. If it were in mainland China... I'd get Jin Zhuoqun to film it, and Wei Dong would be able to offer that price now.

He still believes that good advertising is an important part of good sales.

This is nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of dollars in jeans sales that follow.

Not to mention that it might sell for millions of dollars a year.

Of course, I'm not trying to take advantage of the foreigners now, but if you're so generous, I'll give it to you.

He deliberately delayed, and only after the assistant went to handle it did he say, "How could I possibly accept this?" His tone of refusing the red envelope, with his pockets wide open, almost made the translator laugh again.

I absolutely adore them; they're so mischievous even in this situation.

Wei Dong felt no pressure and didn't take this computer company that didn't sell mobile phones too seriously. The name Steve didn't evoke any memories for him either: "But I still think that being a little vulgar is easier to appeal to most consumers. At this time, selling things is the most important thing. High-end image is something you can only do after you have completely dominated the market."

Qin Yuye translated it as a grand image, giving the impression that Wei Dong was systematically and methodically promoting the image at different stages.

Steve was still tolerant of geniuses: "What you said makes some sense..."

If an ordinary professional manager said that, they would have been fired long ago.

Wei Dong urged him to launch an immediate attack: "Why don't you run this ad in Tokyo and see if it's effective? If it generates sales, it'll be a good test, since it's not in your home country anyway."

Steve was surprised, but he didn't immediately say no, which was already quite lenient of him.

Wei Dong was judging a gentleman by the standards of a petty person.

They figured that since the commercials were already made and didn't cost them anything, they might as well air them. They believed that once the other party aired the commercial, they would fall into their trap and achieve their goal.

Little did they know that this was for the super advertisers who could afford to run Super Bowl headline ads.

This amount of investment is nothing. If it were someone else, or at a different time, Steve wouldn't even give it a second glance.

In other words, after being amazed by Wei Dong's previous views and strategies, they paused for a few seconds, then said with a mix of indulgence and helplessness, "Okay, okay, let's try it out."

Seriously, if Macintosh computers hadn't already been internally condemned, causing him a huge headache and embroiled in company political infighting, given his brand's nature and stubborn personality, he would never have agreed to run such an awesome ad.

Even in overseas markets, this kind of advertising placement has a strict advertising agency structure. This is a Wall Street listed company, not a game.

Wei Dong had to forcefully suppress his ecstasy!

Then I'll treat you to dinner, let's have barbecue, and I'll do the grilling!
It has a distinctly Eastern flavor.

I went to Uncle Tanaka's shop, which has yakitori platter, and bought some seasonings to put together a dish that tastes more like Sichuan cuisine.

Steve immediately expressed his delight that he was a vegetarian, which further aligned with Wei Dong's stereotypical image of white people. No problem, no problem, vegetarian dishes can be baked in all sorts of ways.

Thus, Steve Jobs, who was known for his keen insight into human nature, surprisingly enjoyed this relaxing evening of fine dining, even though he was blinded by the aura of genius.

Garlic-braised eggplant, mushrooms in sauce, and pan-fried tofu came one after another. They didn't look very appealing, but the taste was truly unique.

The characteristic of Sichuan cuisine is that the ingredients are roughly prepared, and the flavor is entirely enhanced by the seasonings. Naturally, this made Steve, who had never tasted this kind of vegetarian dish before, repeatedly say that it was delicious.

Wei Dong was a little excited as he tried to fool a foreigner for the first time, and he imitated Salt Bae's gestures and acted pretentiously, which earned him enthusiastic applause from Qin Yuye.

Uncle Tanaka, who was accompanying the meal, was also full of anticipation. Are all the chefs you send this style, emphasizing both taste and acting skills?

Wei Dong almost choked. How dare you compare me to a top chef? They can write a thesis just by cooking a dish.

Forget it, there's no point in trying to reason with foreigners like you.

The main thing was to appease the Americans. It was almost 11 o'clock when Steve reluctantly went back.

It's said that the morning meeting in Los Angeles, which is across the ocean, is about to begin, and many people are waiting for it.

I felt like I had finally gotten rid of all my burdens and spent the whole night playing with the courtesan outside.

Wei Dong had to suppress his laughter and walk slowly.

After agreeing on a way to contact each other, they saw off the Westerners and said goodbye to the Japanese, then walked back to the hotel.

The translator, who had drunk several cups of sake, described what she had heard: "The founder of Apple, whose revenue exceeded $1.5 billion last year! He's also a billionaire featured in Time magazine!" Hong Kong people care a lot about these things, like getting a knighthood or gentlemanly title is a source of great pride for their ancestors.

Having also had a few drinks, Wei Dong felt nothing, but chuckled to himself, "You can do it too. Now let's see if he really falls for it."

Qin Yuye was so shocked that he completely sobered up: "Fooled? What fooled?"

He quickly grabbed Rang Weidong's arm, as if to stop him from digging a trap to bury the foreigner.

Wei Dong was far from being so barbaric: "Hahaha, you can't imagine how much the Japanese fawn over the Americans. Hmm, just like I didn't expect you to admire Japanese culture so much. Anyway, as long as they put out computer ads, no matter how many they sell, haven't you already become like a Citibank computer brand?"

Qin Yuye was immediately delighted: "Ahhh, I understand your plan! As long as their ads are released first, it's like they've laid the groundwork for us. Then, when our jeans ads come on, they'll have a Citibank vibe! That's right! You said the Japanese admire the US a lot, so if it carries their brand's flavor, it will definitely sell better!"

Wei Dong was extremely pleased with himself; he had been planning this ever since he took the computer out.

He was taking advantage of the Japanese... which also reflected his perception of mainland consumers: as long as they thought it was an imported product, they would be more inclined to buy it.

Anyway, the jeans won't arrive in Hong Kong for a few more days before they can be stocked, so we might as well use foreigners as stepping stones to ride on their coattails.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that the computer was still left in the van, and Steve was picked up by his assistant and security guards.

I happened to be passing by a parking lot, so I quickly took it home to play with.

Qin Yuye was so happy that she started jumping around from the car, twirling around with a bit of dancing, and even wanted to go to the shrine she passed to pray and make a wish.

I can't even explain why.

Is it because she's finally going to be seen by millions of people as an advertising celebrity, or because she wants to make money in business, or because of this overwhelming joy?

It's a combination of both.

Wei Dong just wanted to get back to play on the computer.

So the man with the camera slung over his shoulder and his small laptop jingling around got to have his picture taken by the Hong Kong girl.

Looking at the energetic guy in the viewfinder, she almost bit her lip and wanted to go crazy.

As soon as they arrived at the hotel, they saw Qin Zhiming sitting in the tiny lobby waiting for them: "You guys had a lot of fun!"

Wei Dong immediately showed him the computer with pride: "It's the latest model, and I heard it can even do graphic processing. Computer photo editing is so trendy!"

It still required a Cantonese translator, and Qin Yuye was extremely disgusted: "What are you doing here!"

Judging from his age, Qin Zhiming looks like a middle-aged father: "Steve Jobs, of course I have to come and see my idol!"

Qin Yuye finally felt that since he had drunk a little alcohol today, maybe he could go through the storyline of the roommate!
irritable.

It's probably because my period is about to start.

Sure enough, when two men are together, women have nothing to do.

Qin Zhiming was a guy who knew how to have fun. He rented a room next door and played computer games with Wei Dong for half the night, making Wei Dong smile. He also commented on the many videotapes Wei Dong had taken, and showed off the several MTV and karaoke tapes he had brought, including one of a girl singing "I Once Dreamed of Traveling the World with a Sword".

Moreover, taking advantage of the midnight hour, we could urge the people in Los Angeles who were on a different time zone to go to the company Steve had finalized the deal with and get the chip manufactured.

He asked Wei Dong to demonstrate the disassembled game consoles to him, and he received high praise!
You can have fun all night long without needing to translate.

Qin Yuye was so angry that she was left alone in her empty room.

But the next morning, he couldn't resist going out to buy breakfast and knocking on the door again.

Still half-asleep, Qin Zhiming wailed mischievously, "I raised you with such care and hardship, and you've never even bought me breakfast, yet you're dressed up so beautifully: 'Look at you, smiling until your head's practically boiled...'"

Eleventh Sister quickly touched her face and shooed him away: "No way! Get out of here, don't disturb him while he's having breakfast..."

Then they pushed Qin Zhiming out the door.

The guy wearing pajama bottoms got locked in the hallway and... holy crap!

Several passing foreign girls chuckled at this.

But the eldest brother still has to do the work.

I traveled all the way to Tokyo, but before I even saw my idol, I was already busy helping a girl with the post-production of her advertisement.

He himself has sold several products all over the world. He is knowledgeable and bold. Now that he has a film company, he is even more adept at it. He praised Wei Dong's "advertising ideas" and the trick of "digging a hole" for his idol.

The advertisement filmed by my younger sister is even more enthusiastically received.

They directly took Tanaka to two television stations and newspapers to discuss advertising budgets.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that a big American company was coming to place computer advertisements, they practically knelt down to welcome them.

It's our honor.

They dug the pit completely, and only went to meet the scoundrel in the evening.
