Chapter 389 An Unexpected Surprise (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The international perspective that later generations often speak of is not a vague concept created to elevate one's status, but rather a real quality and ability.

If you want to make money in the spheres of influence of Europe and America, you at least need to understand the rules and practices there.

You can't do whatever you want; one wrong move and you'll fall into a trap.

Similarly, if you want to make money in Xiao Rizi or the Universe Country, you should at least understand the specific situation of their target groups.

For example, what style of products are acceptable to them?

Competing with European and American watch brands in terms of mechanical materials is clearly not a good idea; Xiao Rizi has produced a very good quartz watch that can be mass-produced.

If watch shops on Hong Kong Island want to develop their own brands, they need to avoid the strengths of their competitors and establish their own unique advantages.

Clearly, China's long history and rich culture are a tremendous advantage.

Indeed, this was the case. Subsequently, Wu Feng's watch shop launched the Ming Dynasty Generals and Fierce Generals series of watches, attempting to enter the mid-to-high-end market, and the results were still impressive.

Of course, it wasn't just the personal connections Wu Feng had built that helped promote the product; extensive publicity from television stations and newspapers also played a crucial role.

For several months now, ATV has been frequently airing meticulously produced Ming Dynasty drama series during prime and secondary prime time slots.

It even sparked a considerable Ming Dynasty craze on Hong Kong Island.

The life of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was already full of legendary color.

The Yongle era of prosperity during the reign of Emperor Chengzu was not just a boast.

Zhu Zhanji, the great grandson of the Ming emperor, was a typical all-rounder.

Sun Ruowei, the infamous empress!

Zhu Qizhen, the Great War God of the Ming Dynasty, a student of the Oirat Mongols, and the Emperor who called the Gatekeeper.

Yu Qian, also known as the First Minister of the Ming Dynasty, saved the Ming Dynasty from collapse and extended its life by two hundred years!

Liu Bowen, the master strategist; Chang Shiwan, the fiercest general of the Ming Dynasty!
There are also Empress Ma, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and so on. There are too many characters that can be used as material for TV dramas, as well as various official and unofficial histories.

At this time, how could a new watch with a strong Ming Dynasty style not be popular?

As I said before, the Hong Kong film and television industry is quite powerful right now!
The power to dictate fashion trends has not been completely relinquished; the industry still maintains a considerable degree of autonomy.

Other watch shops were very envious and naturally wanted to follow suit and make a quick buck.

When they tried to give it a try, they all got stuck.

They have a good idea. Wu Feng's watch shop has already produced the Four Great Talents series, the Top Scholar series, and the Fierce General series of watches, hasn't it?

They could also create a "Three Kings" series or a "Royal and Noble" series; wealthy people in Hong Kong really like this kind of thing.

Technology is not the problem!
However, they are unable to put in any effort in terms of publicity.

Without a TV station or a newspaper with a decent circulation, who the hell knows what kind of new watch series a certain watch store has launched?
If you want to ride on the coattails of ATV, Mong Kok News, and Novel Monthly, they have to be willing to cooperate.

At this point, other watch shops that wanted to follow suit realized that the sudden surge in popularity of Wu Feng's watch shops was no accident.

Of course, seeing that the watches under Wu Feng's watch shop were selling very well among students in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as elite white-collar workers and wealthy young men, they could not easily give up.

To put it simply, as long as they caught up with the trend, the annual sales of millions or even tens of millions, along with considerable profits, made them extremely envious. Consequently, TVB, headed by Uncle Shaw, and many newspapers with substantial circulations in Hong Kong became highly sought-after.

If we can cooperate, we should try to cooperate. If there are too many requirements for cooperation, then we might as well just buy it.

They then realized that they also needed to learn from Wu Feng's innovative entertainment-integrated model, which allowed them to make money from every aspect.

The news was told to Wu Feng by Pan Disheng.

This person has excellent execution skills and has already begun preparations.

However, Pan Disheng was clearly more famous and wanted to use Wu Feng's complete media channels to promote his own brand of watches.

He follows the high-end luxury route, so there won't be any direct conflict of interest with Wu Feng's watch shop in the short term.

Wu Feng gave Pan Disheng face and agreed to his request.

In fact, he had always planned to combine his media matrix with the entertainment industry to create a platform for promoting luxury goods.

As long as enough benefits are offered, a publicity and promotion plan is agreed upon with the media group and the entertainment sector, coupled with Pan Disheng's own network of connections and the high-quality new watch, it is not difficult to make a name for oneself.

The real challenge lies in continuously launching new products and maintaining constant promotion and marketing efforts, which truly tests the expertise and capabilities of a watch retailer.

In fact, Wu Feng would love for more watch shops on Hong Kong Island to develop their own brands.

The saying "many hands make light work" sometimes applies to certain products as well.

Then, by leveraging the immense influence of Hong Kong's film and television resources, numerous watch brands will be promoted throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Ideally, it should generate a huge buzz in mainland China!
Even if we can't stop those international big brands from entering, we still need to occupy most of the mid-to-high-end and accessible luxury markets in advance.

If watches can be handled this way, then leather goods, boxes, clothes, and shoes can all be handled in the same way.

If they really gain momentum, Wu Feng won't need to say anything more; they will naturally unite to counter the fierce competition from their European and American counterparts.

Wu Feng only kept an eye on these things for a while before turning his attention to other matters.

To his great surprise, Mr. Ten percent of Indonesia actually agreed to Zhang Yong's purchase request from the head of the Hung Hing branch in Jakarta.

For less than two million dollars, Zhang Yong successfully became Timor Island's special envoy, fully responsible for all administrative and security affairs on the island.

When Zhang Yong personally returned to Hong Kong Island and reported the details to Wu Feng, he learned just how terrible the situation was in Indonesia.

Of course, if the situation hadn't been so dire, Zhang Yong, who had only held Indonesian citizenship for a few years, would never have become Timor Island's special envoy.

In fact, it's impossible for that Mr. Ten percent from Indonesia not to know that Zhang Yong had ulterior motives.

He probably felt that Zhang Yong wouldn't cause much trouble and would ultimately benefit the Indonesian side for nothing. In addition, he also had a large sum of money to be made from the drug deal, which led to Zhang Yong's change of status.

"Then let's stick to the plan and get things done!"

Wu Feng gave his trusted confidant a lot of encouragement before finally chuckling, "Since that Mr. Ten Percent has given us the opportunity, we can't miss it!"

"Don't worry about funding, and manpower won't be a problem either. Your status as a special envoy will be very useful!"
