I am Lapland’s rat!

Lapland took the lead in opening the topic of this meeting with a smile:

"Well, our Silver Wolf Security team now has a wise leader, several sharp and capable cadres, and twenty security personnel who are recharged and ready to go."

"So, where are the security orders?"

Wu Xian shook his beard: "...Why is this still a problem?"

Lapland had previously said that he might just meet an order when he went to the wilderness for training, but he didn't meet his employer. Instead, he abducted a new cadre.

Texas on the side sighed. There is no Ducci here, so she can only answer Lapland's words:

"Lapland, just now, Mr. Manfast called and told us some news."

"Due to the need for commercial development in Tremont, the city has decided to host a business expo next month that will also include a booth for security contracting companies."

"It needs to be pointed out that if we have not completed certain orders as proof of qualifications before the expo stops registration, we are likely to miss the expo."

Chapter 69 Advertising

"What about the orders? Those small and medium-sized customers, Fenrir Security and other security companies, can't have a complete monopoly, right?" Sophia asked at the side.

Texas replied:

"...Although we did some publicity in some surrounding channels, the effect was not very satisfactory."

She then turned to Lapland and said, "During the days when you were training in the wilderness, several customers did come to Silver Wolf Security to inquire about the price and content of security services."

"But to be honest, many of these customers' needs are actually not within our business scope."

"What do you mean?" Lapland raised his eyebrows.

So Texas casually gave a few examples.

There is a Philin who has lost his pet cloud beast and wants to ask Silver Wolf Security to search for it throughout the Andrang District;

There is also a Pero man who looks a little guilty and wants Silver Wolf Security to help him avoid debt collectors' thugs;

There is also a businessman who wants Yinlang Security to send a few people to take his children to school every day and play with them.

A small logistics company wants Silver Wolf to escort them to another city belonging to Sargon. This seems to be the most reasonable order——

But the remuneration they can give is not as good as the travel expenses to and from this road.

Everyone: "..."

"Well...I am somewhat interested in playing with the businessman's children..." Dorothy raised her hand.

Wu Xian shook his beard and walked over to pat Dorothy's arm, so Dorothy put down her hand with some regret.

"This is normal."

Lapland, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled and said: "Our company's business scope is personnel escort, event security, material escort and troubleshooting in dangerous areas."

"The scope of our business determines that our target customers are mainly enterprises rather than individuals. However, we have neither placed advertisements nor negotiated an order when we were socializing with representatives of large enterprises. Now we only post quality advertisements around the area. How can we attract real customer groups?”

She set her sights on Texas, knowing that Texas would be asking about the advertising strategy at this time.

The current top priority for Silver Wolf Security is advertising.

Sure enough, Texas nodded and said: "According to the scale of the first batch of investment, it should be more cost-effective for us to advertise in the "Tremont Daily" or "Commercial United". However, Lapland , there is one thing you must know."

Lapland: "Huh?"

"Fenrir Security has placed advertisements on local TV stations in Tremont. As I said before, their target customers are the same group of people as us, and the effect of TV advertisements is obviously much better than that of newspapers." Texas said calmly,

"And other security companies have also been squeezed by the sudden rise of Fenrir Security. They compete with us on the same paper media, and we have little chance of winning."

Texas then described the current situation of Fenrir Security, Silver Wolf Security's biggest competitor.

Fenrir Security has now received another round of investment, and its scale has expanded a lot.It is worth mentioning that during this period, the company seemed to have no need for personnel training and recruited many security personnel who could immediately go to work.

Today, the scale of Fenrir Security has reached about 150 people. Generally speaking, in order to prevent insufficient orders, a security company of this size will sign contracts with some large companies with long-term security needs to ensure the company's continued operation;

But Fenrir Security has taken a different approach. While spending a lot of cash on advertising, it only accepts short-term security orders to fill the quality gap with the quantity of completed orders.

In contrast, those security companies that relied on these short-term orders to survive were squeezed out of their living space by Fenrir Security——

Including Silver Wolf Security.

Although every move of Fenrir Security is in line with the normal operating order of the market, there is a sense that it is targeting Silver Wolf Security at every turn.

"……I see."

After hearing this, Lapland smiled and clapped his hands, and then said: "Then we will not place advertisements in newspapers."

Everyone was startled.

Dorothy, who had just joined, asked curiously: "Not in the newspaper? As far as I know, if it's not in the newspaper, we can only choose physical advertisements such as TV, radio, periodicals or local promotions."

"The first two are very expensive, and it is difficult to recover the cost given our size; while the effects of the latter two are for security companies..."

"...No," Texas said.

"It seems like there really is an alternative to these options."

Of course Texas has done a lot of homework these days. She looked at the smiling Lapland, sighed and said:

"Colombia is currently laying out intercity networks on a large scale. But before that, Tremont, as the technology center of Colombia, was the first mobile city in Colombia to lay out metropolitan area networks, and the number of users was also the highest in Colombia."

Metropolitan area network?

Wu Xian, who was squatting on the table, blinked. This seemed to be a somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar term.

But after Texas explained, Wu Xian understood:

The so-called metropolitan area network can be understood as a local area network connecting a city.

It is between the local area network and the wide area network. It uses broadband as the connection method and provides civilian wired network interfaces for the entire Tremont.

According to the Colombian government's plan, every city in the future will first lay a metropolitan area network and then connect to the wide area network through the metropolitan area network. In this way, even if cities are blocked by natural disasters in the future, the speed and repair time of intercity communications will not be greatly affected. Influence.

Dorothy obviously knew about this, after all, she occasionally communicated on the school LAN when she was in Cast Iron City:

“Can we put ads on the city network in Tremont?”

At this time, Federer, who was next to him, raised his head. The middle-aged man had a look of interest on his face. He was obviously impressed that the young man's thinking was different from that of the older generation.

"There's no precedent yet," Texas said.

"Then let's create this precedent. I think the laughing gray-haired Mr. Pellow will be interested." Lapland smiled.

……

"Sure enough, they always have a way."

Wu Xian was very satisfied with the results of this meeting.

After the meeting, Lapland made a phone call and booked a half-hour meeting with Quinn tomorrow.

Although he knew that this kind of business meeting was different from a private party, Wu Xian still wanted to say that he could stay with Ya Jue and Quinn for two full hours just for a meal!

Two hours!

——The second half of this meeting also discussed the subsequent placement and theoretical training of employees, and Lapland left this task to the reluctant Federer.

Chapter 70 Not very good at

For Wu Xian, this period of time before Silver Wolf Security finishes advertising and receives orders is undoubtedly his favorite rest time.

After all, he has been using skills almost every day for more than a month. Although he is not tired, he is actually quite tired mentally.

"Well, I'm very tired. It's time to fish."

However, Wu Xian's thoughts cannot be heard by the employees of Silver Wolf Security.

……

After the meeting, Lapland left Silver Wolf Security. She was going to find reference materials about the metropolitan area network in order to negotiate with Quinn tomorrow.

Federer also got up from the conference table and walked to the big office. As the logistics manager, he has many things to be responsible for, and he can't rest now.

On the contrary, Sophia, Texas, and Dorothy were still at the conference table, with nothing to do for the time being.

Dorothy sighed: "Little Silver, Miss Lapland and Miss Chelinina are really amazing. When I was their age, I was still imagining what life would be like in a mobile city..."

Wu Xian shook his beard, stretched out his paw and patted Dorothy's arm:

"After all, they are both heirs of a big family. Let's talk about it. I think it's better for you, Shushu, to start out as a pioneer and become a cutting-edge scientist in one go."

Although Dorothy may not have expected at this time that five to six years later she would become the director of one of the ten departments of life at Rheinland and a high-profile young scientist.

"Miss Dorothy, you may not think that Cellinina comes from a big family, but in fact, even in a family like Texas, there are not many people as powerful as Cellinina!"

Sophia across the table took the arm of Texas, who looked numb, and introduced him proudly.

"Hey, is that so?" Dorothy said in surprise.

Texas: "...That's not the case. I don't think there's anything about me that's beyond ordinary people."

Wu Xian on the table shook his beard.

"Because you are a Hexagon warrior, right?"

……

After chatting like this for a while, Sophia suddenly had the idea of ​​asking Texas to go shopping with her.

Of course, before Texas could think of an excuse to refuse, Sophia stood up holding her arm, cheered, and walked away.

Sophia pulled Texas out of the conference room. When Texas also left the conference room, Wu Xian saw Texas turn around.

Wu Xian clearly read the meaning of "help me" in Texas's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Wu Xian shook his beard and watched Texas being dragged away by Sophia.

Wu Xian knew that Texas didn't hate Sophia, she was just a little uncomfortable getting along with the overly enthusiastic Sophia.

He remembered that Texas actually liked shopping. Maybe her hobby was actually cultivated by Sophia...

Or is it the other way around?

Soon, only Wu Xian and Dorothy were left in the conference room.

Dorothy showed a soft smile: "Little Silver, where are we going?"

Wu Xian blinked: "Have you already taken 'I want to go out with you' as the default condition?"

In fact, he really wanted to take a nice nap at Yinlang Security, and then just have a meal and hang out until the evening.

However, Wu Xian has become accustomed to going out with Dorothy these days and will not resist.

And the place Dorothy chose also fits her character very well:

"I want to go to the Tremont Municipal Library. It is said that every issue of major academic journals is included there, but in the Cast Iron City, some materials are not available yet..."

……

The Tremont Municipal Library is a circular building, which is very architecturally beautiful in terms of shape.

This building has three floors in total, and the hollow part of the ring is the garden and square. When Dorothy and Wu Xian came to the library and looked at the square while holding on to the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the inside of the ring, they could still see Many tourists were smiling and taking photos.

"Excuse me, where can I see the latest scientific journals? - On the second floor, thank you..."

Dorothy came to the information desk and asked the staff behind it, and got the information she wanted.

"...Huh? How does my face look? No, it's okay, maybe I'm a little tired...!"

Facing the staff's concerned inquiries, Dorothy looked a little uncomfortable.

The main reason was that pets were not allowed in this library. Although she knew that Wu Xian was not a pure beast, the security guard didn't know that!

Wu Xian took the initiative to hide in Dorothy's paper shopping bag, which made Dorothy feel like she was doing something bad.

"The world is still too unkind to Shushu."

Wu Xian, who was hiding in the darkness, shook his head and sighed, remembering the day when Du Qiao stuffed it into a bag and went to the restaurant to have dinner for the first time.

Raising his head slightly, Wu Xian noticed that Dorothy's face was a little pink.

She also glanced at Wu Xian in the bag and pursed her lips slightly - Dorothy didn't have the expression management ability like Texas, and it really looked like she was a little guilty.

But fortunately, this is a library. People coming and going are basically thinking about which library on which floor they are going to look for books. No one notices Dorothy's weirdness.
