Kunming, who will you forget tonight

Chapter 182
Zhuo Lan is right, I didn’t think of asking her for help when I was in the most difficult time, I didn’t respect the gift she gave me, and I sold it for some money, no matter what the reason was, the result was already there , Selling the watch is already an indisputable fact, what else can I quibble about?Those are meaningless.

That night, Azhe and I met again at Amy's bar, drinking until our voice became hoarse. Azhe joked with me, saying that I must feel very good about singing Adu's songs now.The melody of a song suddenly appeared in my mind, I walked onto the stage with a guitar in my arms, and sang softly along with the rhythm: I have been waiting to see you for all these years; I want to calmly say that I have not seen you for a long time...... Kazekage The lingering thoughts of who has long hair; I miss you so far; Hello, my eyes are red...... Hello, why should we meet again; Hello, I can’t go back to the past; Hello, I can’t hide the heartache so obvious ;Hello, is this good-bye..."

Regarding love, we are all too sensitive and fragile, because we care too much that makes each other so sad.Men are used to using tobacco and alcohol to cover up their inner loneliness. On such nights, we all become the hosts of loneliness, allowing that loneliness to take root deep in our hearts.

On September 9th, a rainy day, the hangover from last night was still bothering me. I heard someone outside the window come to my room to help me close the window. When I opened my eyes, I saw Su Yubing with his back to me. I rubbed my eyes and asked, "What time is it?"

"Five o'clock." Su Yubing responded with a yawn, and said, "It's raining outside, so I know you don't close the window when you sleep, so come and close the window for you and go on sleeping."

After Su Yubing left, I couldn't fall asleep. I wanted to lean against the bedside and smoke a cigarette, but found that the cigarette case was empty, not a single one.

At 06:30, I received a WeChat message from Zhuo Lan: Regarding Yinglan VIP membership card, if there is anything that needs the headquarters to cooperate with you, even if you say it, I still support you unconditionally.

Looking at WeChat, as if nothing had happened, I took a deep breath and replied: I have not encountered any problems so far, and I will negotiate with you if there is anything.

Zhuo Lan: OK.

After reading the two words sent by Zhuo Lan, I silently put the phone aside and got up to take a shower.Cooked a pot of white porridge and finished the breakfast with two fried poached eggs. I came to the company at 08:30, thinking that I had arrived very early. When I entered the door, I saw that the office area in the cubicle of the Investment Promotion Department was full. Everyone is busy.

I thought the time on my phone was wrong, so I called the little monkey to the office and asked, "What time is it? It's only 08:30 on my phone."

The little monkey said puzzledly, "That's right, it's 08:30? What's the matter?"

"08:30? Why are you all coming to work?"

Little Monkey explained: "Yesterday, I called back to all the merchants. I made a return visit statistics this morning. I estimated that 80% of the merchants are willing to join our 'Yinglan Merchant Alliance'. Because their clothes are not discounted, if they join the 'Sakura Merchants Alliance', it means that their clothes will be sold at a discount. Brand stores, you know, many of them are directly operated by manufacturers, and whether they can get discounts is not their only store. It counts. It was calculated this morning, brother Han, how do we deal with this situation?"

This is indeed a very difficult issue. If it is said that Ying Lan contributes funds and subsidies, then other merchants will have opinions, and they cannot be treated equally, which will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles in the later stage. The impact is still quite large.

Seeing that I was also embarrassed, the little monkey suggested: "Brother Han, why don't you give up these stores, after all, 80% of the merchants agree to join our alliance, and they don't want those that don't offer discounts."

"It can't be like this." I said to Little Monkey: "Maybe many customers apply for cards because of their brand? Since we want to build a big alliance, we have to think of a fundamental solution to the problem. How about you? As soon as possible, send me the information of these stores, as well as the contact information of the person in charge."

At 09:30, Xiaohou took all the information of the merchants. I read them all carefully. There are 6 merchants who are self-operated shopping malls. Talking with each other, Xiaozhi uses emotion to reason, and if the other party is really unwilling, then notify them in advance, we will compensate liquidated damages, and change to other businesses to settle in.

But the other 14 stores are all brand stores on the 4th floor. The brands say that they are big or small. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to call these 14 merchants and let them come to Yinglan for a meeting in the afternoon. , to hear their thoughts.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the merchants arrived. In the small conference room, I told them the benefits of establishing a merchant alliance and the advantages of later publicity.These people also understand, but they just stick to one point. They belong to direct sales stores and have no right to sign discount agreements with our mall in private.

"What about the advertisements?" I looked at these merchants and asked, "If Yinglan promises to show you video advertisements on the large LED screen outside every week, and return them to you in the form of advertising fees?"

The person in charge of a brand of men's clothing asked: "Is this the LED display outside the Yinglan Building? Can you advertise for each of us individually?"

"Yes." I said: "I will give you 20 minutes of video advertisements every month, exclusive, played on the LED display in turn, the length of the advertisement is 10 seconds, and it is played 120 times a month, which is already the biggest I can give you. preferential terms."

After finishing this sentence, I suddenly noticed that they looked at each other, as if they were asking for advice from others, and the man who had just spoken put on a troubled look, and said, "Mr. The fee is not worth so much, even if we want to make fake accounts to pay the head office."

"It doesn't matter." I took a deep breath and said, "Then I didn't say what I said just now. Please come to Yinglan for a meeting today. Since we can't reach a consensus, I won't force you to join us." Sakura Lan Merchant Alliance's gone, everyone please go back."

They looked at each other again, this time no one spoke, I sent them to the door of the meeting room, and immediately asked Xiaohou to investigate these brand clothing stores and directly consult their head office, whether it is a direct store or a franchise store , as an independent individual, whether it has the right to give corresponding discounts.

The little monkey asked me if I found something?I said that I felt that these people seemed to be partnering to trick us into negotiating terms. I had to understand clearly what was going on.

I worked overtime until [-] o'clock that night, and Xiaohou took out a document for me, telling me clearly that whether it is a directly-operated store or a franchise store, it has the right to discount products, sell goods, and deal with them according to market demand. However, the discounted prices of these promotional items must be borne by these stores themselves.

The profit of clothing can reach more than 30%. I asked them to join the merchant alliance to offer a symbolic discount, but they were not willing to accept it. They are still pretending to negotiate terms with me here.I decisively told Little Monkey that on the 10th... that is, tomorrow, I will start signing contracts with merchants who are confirmed to stay in Yinglan merchants, and ignore these people directly.At the same time, they made a high-profile promise that they would prepare to do TV economic talk shows, and prepare Internet promoters in the same city forums to publicize them.The hard advertisements will also start to be launched, and the news of the "Sakura Merchants Alliance" and the opening ceremony will be published at the same time.

I don't believe it anymore. With such a good policy, I still cry and beg them to follow me to make money?I'll see if they can hold their breath.

That night, I communicated with Su Yubing about this matter, and told her that this batch of advertisements needs to be made on many pages, and the names and LOGOs of all merchants that have joined the "Sakura Merchants Alliance" will be announced on the advertising spaces. The names of which merchants will be determined tomorrow.

Su Yubing is very willing to cooperate with my work. On the morning of the 10th, I brought people from the production department of Pure Advertising Company to the signing site of the "Yinglan Merchants Alliance" to communicate with the signed merchants and ask them about their advertising requirements... …

In fact, it is just to show off to those pretending merchants!Can so many people's requests appear on one advertisement picture?Pure nonsense!
On the morning of the 10th, 56 companies were signed, and after lunch in the afternoon, some merchants were queuing up to sign contracts. Coupled with Su Yubing's cooperation, I believe they will soon be able to create a certain amount of pressure.

Until 03:30 in the afternoon, seeing all the merchants signed the agreement to join the merchant alliance, those people still showed indifference, which made me a little uncomfortable.None of the dozen or so people stood up and voluntarily changed their minds and asked to join the Merchant Alliance.

I thought it was because the pressure and temptation on them were not strong enough, so I called Director Feng in a place where no one was around. .”

"What's going on?" Director Feng asked, "What happened? What do I need to do?"

"We have formed the Yinglan Merchants Alliance here..." Briefly introduced the current situation, and then said to Director Feng: "These merchants want to join forces to cheat me, I have to put some pressure on them, can you bring the TV station People from China come over to visit and do a live report?"

Director Feng was a little embarrassed, and said: "The TV station's program can't be shown immediately, even if it's a column like 'Streets and Alleys', it won't be so direct to insert advertisements for you, but I can bring the TV station's camera, reporter Come here to put on a show for you, as for whether it will be effective, it’s hard to say.”

"Success." I said to Director Feng, "It's okay to come to the scene to put on a show, the sooner the better."

"I'll be here as soon as possible, within half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, I thought of Bai Youyou again. Their live broadcast platform is very popular in Kunming. I called Bai Youyou again, and Bai Youyou said that there is no problem at all. She will organize several anchors to broadcast live as soon as possible.

After finishing here, I called the little monkey over again and asked him to prepare and release the news. The admission to the Merchant Alliance is only limited to today, and applications will no longer be accepted after today.

The little monkey persuaded me: "Brother Han, think about it carefully. It is easy to slap yourself in the face after this news is sent out. If they are still indifferent today, they want to go back and discuss it. After the discussion, what should I do if I want to join tomorrow? Leave yourself a way out?"
