In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love

Chapter 439 Sweeping a Large Area
The cruelty of the automotive industry can be seen from large auto shows.

The exhibition hall, covering an area of ​​one square kilometer, is home to thousands of manufacturers, hundreds of brands, and thousands of exhibition vehicles.

But in reality, the number of exhibition halls that can display car models has quickly shrunk to more than a hundred, and there are only a few dozen exhibition halls that can even be said to be extraordinary.

Each booth was shouting at the top of its lungs about "announcement," "promotion," and "shocking launch," trying every trick in the book to attract attention.

Walking through it is like walking in a busy market, with strong music driving the models' shows, and corporate executives imitating the posture of Master Qiao, speaking at the top of their lungs in front of the big screen.

Powerful big brands can attract or invite a lot of reporters and media to create a prosperous atmosphere.

Small car dealers with limited budgets can only talk to themselves with few onlookers.

Even most of the people were not as lively as the three people who came from outside.

There were at least a dozen assistants and security guards on both sides, forming a circle to protect them as they moved forward. The dozens or even hundreds of reporters outside were like magnets, sucking up all the cameras and attention as they passed by.

Because as soon as they see Brother Qiang, they will quickly abandon the current scene and follow him.

Then it quickly piled up like Monkey King's somersault cloud, almost blocking the entire passage and preventing the belt from moving forward.

Zi Xiaowei looked around and laughed. "This is the information cocoon. Inside this situation, you can only see the scene in front of you. Someone else set up the exhibition, and you only see it as the world outside. But the outside world has changed. Who are you shouting to?"

Brother Qiang was familiar with the situation: "It can be considered a consumer release, but it's mainly aimed at car dealers and sales systems at all levels, and finally the media?"

Zi Xiaowei only had one hand to snap his fingers. "Look, the pandemic has severely impacted the habit of gathering in public places. More importantly, our auto shows lack the cultural heritage of automobiles. They're all commercial activities aimed at boosting market sales, so the cookie-cutter models don't attract much attention. These auto shows are no longer the kind where ordinary spectators and car fans can crowd in. Consumers are more accustomed to reading information online. And the models aren't allowed to show too much. What's there to see?"

The other hand was pinched. She was really a good girl from the north, but she learned a lot of bad things when she went to Jiangzhou.

The leaders of online shopping malls have certainly had a deeper understanding of the shift in the physical economy towards online shopping over the past decade or so: "The power of the auto sales system is increasingly being lost. Car dealers are increasingly facing bankruptcy. The old ways of doing things are no longer working, and auto shows have lost their appeal to them."

Zi Xiaowei hummed, "Not to mention the media. There are so many of them here. I'm not looking down on anyone, but they're all garbage. Hahahaha, I'm not kidding. They've also been left behind by new media and self-media. They know that no one reads what they write and it has no influence, so they're hoping to grab some special buzz. You used to benefit a lot from this kind of media, but it's really useless in the future."

Brother Qiang is also a top student who has been working in the media industry since the 1990s, but he's been too high-handed in recent years. He narrowed his eyes and thought, "In the past, official TV stations and newspapers and magazines were all the sources of information. Later, it expanded to local TV stations and newspapers and magazines. Now, ordinary people no longer watch TV or read newspapers and magazines to get information. They all look at their phones. So these media have lost their ground without even realizing it."

Zi Xiaowei is the one who thinks from the bottom up and is familiar with everything in front of him: "So it's quite strange that Jingxi Mall can not develop its live broadcast platform into fertile soil for several years, but insists on growing flowers in the desert."

Brother Qiang also had a high level of insight: "So this time you linked Jingxi Live with the UN University's Journalism and Media major, which is quite politically sensitive. I heard that some people praised it. We can observe it further."

Zi Xiaowei put on a surprised and honored expression. "So Jiang An asked me to do this brand marketing, it was also a bit of an organizational move, but I try my best to demonstrate my abilities in business. At best, this is an academic job."

Brother Qiang understood the implication, reached out and patted the little brother on the shoulder and smiled.

The Evita executives at the booth came over to greet him.

The Jiang'an bus platform is extremely large, the largest among state-owned enterprises, and is located in the core center. More than ten exhibition cars are filled with charming car models.

Now, seeing a large group of media coming onto the stage like a "dark cloud", the top executives of the companies here all bowed and nodded to greet them, and each of them stood with their chests puffed out and their stomachs in, posing in their most beautiful posture.

When the crowd saw Brother Qiang's famous expression, with white hair but still as majestic as ever, the whole audience was shocked.

If the two Ma's are considered the first generation of domestic Internet super bosses, Brother Qiang should be the third person after them.

Fame, height, topics, everything is included.

But today everyone had to pay attention to the young couple walking beside him.

After all, Diane is a boss in the clothing industry, and she has a certain level of appreciation from being immersed in the industry.

Chang Yueling even regards paying attention to fashion as the main way to pass the time.

So after trimming Zi Xiaowei's long hair and giving it a nice shape, the next step is to choose a style that is both high-end and eye-catching without being too eye-catching.

Shanghai was already a bit hot in May, but since the wealthy were always going from air-conditioned rooms to air-conditioned cars, wearing a three-layer suit wasn't a problem. He wore a round-neck white T-shirt as a base, tucked into wide-waisted, high-riding black martial arts pants.

At first glance, he looks similar to the martial arts stuntmen in movies from the 1980s. Chang Yueling said that people would subconsciously think that this man is strong and muscular, covering up Zi Xiaowei's skinny ribs.

In fact, he looks elegant and refined, especially when paired with black round-frame glasses. He also looks very elegant with a gray knitted cardigan. He is a typical gentleman, the kind of deep and introverted person who may push his wife off a cliff at any time. This is the original words of Diane's evaluation.

Finally, he added a gray designer casual suit, which definitely showed the taste of a wealthy young man with no shortage of money.

When walking with Brother Qiang, I never feel inferior. I just feel that the nephew of one of Brother Qiang’s close friends is about to take over.

But they both serve as foils for Chang Yueling.

They said it was for Zi Xiaowei to match, and these two girls who wanted to show off to each other kept buying a lot of things.

Chang Yueling has a broader vision and is more skilled, and can even do things secretly.

She was wearing a green and white plaid dress in the car. It looked like a very ordinary short-sleeved style. Five figures for it was a rip-off. The neckline was so low that it was below her underwear. If she wasn't careful, her underwear would be exposed.

As a result, when she got off the car, she picked up the beige suit that was hanging on the back of the chair.

It was only when they entered the venue that Zi Xiaowei put the cap on her because of the strong air conditioning, and she immediately became a lazy and casual French style.

It also echoes Zi Xiaowei's way of wearing his gray suit and beige cardigan without buttoning them.

It’s not a couple’s outfit, but it’s better than a soul match.

Now as they walk hand in hand onto the stage, it feels like they are strolling leisurely on the Champs-Élysées, enjoying life like people with plenty of money.

Many cameras were clicking non-stop. Only a few people could recognize that this was the Changjiang Automobile Princess, but it was obvious that this girl came from a very wealthy family.

His face was filled with a relaxed expression, at least more generous than the person wearing a black mask next to him.

Zi Xiaowei was actually observing the people on the opposite side. He had not met any of them. The explosive sales of Evita half a year ago directly led to Mr. Fei's dismissal. Now, shouldn't the CEO who pushed him to add WeChat thank him?

He smiled and shook hands, greeting her. "Brother Qiang, there's no need for introductions. Since I'm leading the launch of the new Evita Coupe, I'll inevitably have to adjust the entire marketing system. The initial plan is to completely abandon the 4S stores and dealer network. Jingxi Logistics will handle delivery, and Jingxi Auto will handle after-sales repairs. Mr. Xiong can arrange for someone to discuss the specific authorization terms with Mr. Qiang's assistant. Now we're mainly here to take a look at the car."

The other CEO's face changed drastically!

The person standing at the back and turning black must be the marketing director or something like that. This is equivalent to erasing all his authority and work content.

But state-owned enterprises are different from private enterprises. These senior executives actually have another set of organizational identities. They would never dare to turn the table and curse, saying, "I quit and want to develop in another company." They would just be happy to keep their salary and position. But if they get the chance to trip others up or slack off, they will never miss it.

This is why state-owned enterprises are inefficient and there is not enough market competition.

But what they immediately heard was Zi Xiaowei cutting off their retreat: "The Evita sales system must return to Jiangzhou immediately and hand over all relevant documents and authority to the sales personnel I have already dispatched. If this is not completed within 24 hours, I will report to the group president and request their dismissal, from the general manager in charge of sales to the sales director, supervisor, and sales center. Refusing to cooperate with a multi-billion dollar project is a heinous crime."

Those with dark faces and sneering smiles all had frozen expressions.

I really didn't expect this young man to be so ruthless, and he was absolutely determined to wipe out the entire organization without leaving any room for retreat. He even dared to take action against those within the organization, relying on the support of the boss?!
He is not afraid of disciplinary inspection... We really can't report him for any wrongdoing, as he is not in the system.

Brother Qiang, on the other hand, stood by with his eyes narrowed, as if he was a giant spirit watching the weaklings fighting each other.

But Zi Xiaowei was even more ruthless than he expected. With a few consecutive moves, he overturned the marketing system and pointed at the coupe next to him. "I won't talk about the advantages, just the disadvantages. I'm also a heavy user of the Evita. This car is based on the same chassis. The turning radius is too large, the brakes are nodding, and the chassis is weak. These are the problems in the past. I observed this car yesterday. The trunk is too small, and the window controls and door openers are completely over-designed..."

He really opened the car door and started scolding everyone one by one!

Those who designed the system also broke out in cold sweat.

Chang Yueling took photos of Marco as if nothing had happened...
