Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 76 Do you think I'm a victim?

Jiang Beicheng sat on the terrace and rinsed the teacup he bought from Uncle Quan.

A teacup worth nearly 100,000 yuan.

Open up this afternoon.

I brewed a shot of Wuyi Mountain Baihao Yinzhen tea.

Feel the comfort of sunset.

The WeChat message on my phone rang, so I picked it up and took a look.

The business representative of internet celebrity "Dabao" replied to the message, asking for 50,000 yuan, and the 30,000 yuan advertising fee offered by Jiangbeicheng was rejected.

Dabao is a food exploration blogger in Jiangnan City with nearly three million followers.

Almost all the famous restaurants in the city have asked him to do publicity.

He has a good character building, is friendly and down-to-earth on the Internet, and has a high degree of favorability among fans.

With the opening of Beicheng Hotel, embracing the Internet is a necessary step.

Currently, the largest traffic pool in the mobile Internet is short videos. It is difficult to quickly become popular if you make them yourself, and finding internet celebrities to advertise is the most convenient way.

His lover Li Xingying was still traveling in Europe, and Jiang Beicheng didn't want to interrupt her trip, so he asked her to come back specially.

What's more, her fans come from all over the country, and the fan base in Jiangnan City is not that high. If she were to come back specifically to promote her, the effect might not be as good as expected.

The most suitable ones are local internet celebrities.

Dabao has the largest traffic among local food bloggers, so Jiangbeicheng contacted his business directly.

The quotation given by the business department is 30,000 and the duration is less than three minutes.

Jiang Beicheng agreed to the price and asked them to prepare the contract, but now they suddenly asked for another price of 50,000.

The reason given was that yesterday's video traffic exploded, and the video data in the next few days will be better, so the price was temporarily raised.

Jiang Beicheng didn't really care about the fifty thousand yuan. The teacup he used to drink tea cost him ten thousand yuan. He just thought that Dabo's eating manners were a bit too ugly.

If they agree to 50,000, will it be increased to 60,000 or 70,000?
Treat him like a victim and make fun of him?
Jiang Beicheng really dislikes this practice.

I directly replied to the business department of Dabao that there was no need for cooperation.

Business's reply left Jiang Beicheng even more speechless.

"Mr. Jiang, fifty thousand is the most affordable price. The traffic volume in the next few days will be very high. If tomorrow's video content goes viral again, the price for the next cooperation may have to be increased again."

Jiang Beicheng’s Douyin account is level 67 and has spent several million. Although he used to be in the entertainment industry, he is also very familiar with the gameplay of short videos.

This is the first time I have seen this kind of quotation format.

Who dares to cooperate with you?

Jiang Beicheng still rejected the plan to seek cooperation with "Dabao".

Either he had to settle for the second best and find an internet celebrity with slightly smaller traffic to cooperate with, or, like I joked with Shan Gui that day, he could make some big moves with a bunch of friends.

Of course, it is best to get both.

Jiang Beicheng put down his phone and ignored it. He couldn't let a small incident affect his tea-drinking and enjoyment of the leisure and coolness of the evening.

……

"Mr. Chen, the studio replied to my letter. The North City Hotel rejected the advertising offer of 50,000."

Dabao said to Chen Bin while holding his cell phone.

Chen Bin invited Dabao to come today to discuss the advertising promotion of Brother Chen’s new store.

He accidentally heard from Dabao that Beicheng Hotel was looking for him to cooperate.

He cited the recent increase in exposure of Dabao's account as an excuse to suggest that Dabao increase its advertising quotation.

And promised to pay his advertising fees according to the new price.

It was like killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of our own men, setting a trap for Jiangbei City.

Dabo was unaware of the friction between Chen Bin and Jiang Beicheng. He thought the deal was a good one and would allow him to earn tens of thousands more yuan, so he accepted Chen Bin's suggestion and temporarily raised the advertising fee. However, he didn't expect Jiang Beicheng to refuse cooperation for a 20,000 yuan premium.

Looking across the entire Jiangnan City, he is the food blogger with the largest traffic.

Beicheng Restaurant was unwilling to spend an extra 20,000 yuan to hire him for publicity. If they hired someone else, in order to achieve the same level of publicity as him, they would need at least three or five food bloggers, and the total advertising fee would be much higher than 50,000 yuan.

Wouldn’t the owner of Beicheng Hotel do the math on this?

Dabao really didn't understand.

"Nowadays, traffic is king. If a new restaurant is reluctant to spend money on online advertising and relies solely on the restaurant association to help promote it, it will not know how it died!"

Chen Bin muttered to himself.

I feel that Jiang Beicheng is also a young man who only knows how to argue.

He dared to invest so much money without even understanding the concept of "new catering". Sooner or later, he would squander the living expenses his father left him.

"Brother Dabo, I keep my word. Go and take pictures of my new store tomorrow. I will pay you 50,000 yuan as advertising fee, but I have a small request." Chen Bin said cheerfully.

After letting go of the Beicheng Restaurant, Brother Chen’s Hotpot must get the customer, otherwise it will be a big loss.

Dabo toasted and said, "Mr. Chen, please feel free to make any requests. It is my honor to serve such a straightforward client like you."

Chen Bin said: "I just want you to add a little time.

It doesn’t have to be too long, five minutes is enough.”

Da Bo looked at Chen Bin in a daze.

Before the price increase, my quote was 30,000 yuan for three minutes. Now the client wants five minutes of time, and I will only give 50,000 yuan.

Isn't it the same?
Coming back to his senses, Dabo nodded awkwardly in agreement. He really thought that the restaurant owners had noticed his current value.

No matter how scheming you are, you can't outsmart these old foxes in the catering industry.

After being forced to drink a few glasses of wine by the old fox, I fell into his trap without realizing it.

The length of five minutes and that of three minutes may seem to be only two minutes apart, but the amount of footage shot behind the scenes is very different, and the amount of editing is more than doubled.

There is also planning in many aspects such as scripts, copywriting, etc.

It is not an exaggeration to say that you are getting paid 50,000 yuan to do work worth 100,000 yuan.

blood loss.

But he had to accept it. In the field of restaurant exploration, he could not avoid dealing with the catering association.

To a certain extent, people in Jiangnan City still rely on these bosses for support.

Chen Bin is also the deputy secretary-general of the association, and Dabao needs to maintain a good relationship with them.

We finished eating hotpot early and left Brother Chen’s hotpot restaurant.

The first thing he did when he got back was to contact Jiang Beicheng in person. He still wanted to win Jiang Beicheng as a customer and earn an extra 30,000 yuan.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang. I'm Dabo. The person who just spoke to you was from our studio. I didn't explain some details clearly. The 50,000 yuan they quoted is for a five-minute spot. If Mr. Jiang wants a three-minute spot, we will also accept it and complete it according to Mr. Jiang's requirements."

Jiang Beicheng glanced at the message sent by Dabao and smiled.

It's obviously a trick to retain customers.

I didn’t even reply, I just blocked him.

Beicheng Hotel does not need this kind of partner.

Da Bo waited for more than ten minutes but didn't get a reply from Jiang Beicheng, so he sent another message to Jiang Beicheng, "Mr. Jiang, are you free? How about we meet and talk?"

As soon as I sent it, a red exclamation mark appeared.

Dabo was stunned.

Not only was I cheated by Chen Bin, but I also lost a big client.

Jiangbei City did not look for those food bloggers with small traffic, but directly targeted Hua Xiaolong, the most talked-about and active internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans in Jiangnan City.
