Chapter 446: The advertisement that finally sold out
Okay, a tough life needs no explanation. I\'m the kind of person who takes a girl out and checks into a room without even paying for the room. So what!
\'Not bad,\' Feng Yiping looked at the room\'s facilities, "Are you going to be okay on your own? If you\'re worried, I can open another room next door,\'
\'It\'s fine, thank you Yiping,\'
\'You\'re welcome, but Wen Hong, I\'ve already arranged tomorrow\'s schedule, it can\'t be changed. I have to go to Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon. I\'ll pick you up for lunch tomorrow at noon, and then we\'ll go to the factory together, okay?\'
Wen Hong hesitated for a moment, "I don\'t have an ID card, it\'s hard to enter the Special Administrative Region,\'
Feng Yiping slapped his head and forgot about it.
It\'s easy to get into the Special Administrative Region, and a border pass is easy to get. At most, I\'ll take the foreign businessperson to the factory for a tour tomorrow, and let her go with the car. But in the Special Administrative Region, everyone knows that at this time, a temporary residence permit is more important than an ID card. If you are checked on the street and you don\'t have one, the consequences can be unpleasant.
\'How about this, Wen Hong, do you want to go home first to see your parents? It\'s been a year since you last saw them, and you can get your ID card fixed along the way. Being away from home without any documents is really troublesome.
After that, it\'s fine if you want to come back to the Special Administrative Region. You can work in the provincial capital or the city, or go to the capital. There are convenience store branches in all these places, and I can arrange it all. What do you think?\'
\'I don\'t want to go back now,\' Wen Hong shook her head. \'I\'m in a very bad state now, and I don\'t want my parents to worry when they see me. How about this, Yiping, you take me to the capital. It\'s far away,\'
Feng Yiping also knew that Wen Hong would most likely refuse, because he was well aware of the nature of people like them: even if they were unable to provide a good life for their parents, they at least could not let their parents worry about them.
As for being far away, it was naturally far away from the boyfriend she had blindly fallen for. It seemed that Wen Hong still had some lingering feelings, which was understandable. A young girl who was not well-versed in the ways of the world and had experienced such ugliness would definitely feel insecure.
\'That\'s fine. You know, Jingping is with me now. She\'s worried about not having many friends in the capital, so it\'s a good thing you\'re going,\'
\'Really? Although I could tell at school that the two of you weren\'t just friends, it\'s still not easy to get together. Congratulations!\' Wen Hong felt a little happier when she talked about her old classmates. Thinking about those innocent classmates at school was also a kind of consolation for her wounded heart.
\'Let\'s give her a call now,\' Feng Yiping suggested. Since they were taking Wen Hong to the capital, they had to notify Huang Jingping first, and they also had to report the fact that they were taking Wen Hong to a hotel. Otherwise, when Huang Jingping heard about it, it would become a big deal.
Huang Jingping must have already gone to bed. She was groggy. \'You\'re still up? How many orders did you sign today?\'
\'You were asleep. We were just eating a late-night snack outside. Do you know who I ran into?\'
\'Ah, who?\'
\'Wen Hong,\' Feng Yiping knew she wouldn\'t guess.
\'Really? How is she?\' Huang Jingping perked up.
\'She\'s doing well. I invited her to work in the capital, and she agreed. In a few days, you\'ll have an old friend again. Aren\'t you happy? She\'s here right now. Talk to her,\'
Although the two of them were actually just average friends at school, they had a good chat on the phone. It was true that many junior high school classmates don\'t keep in touch after graduation, so it was rare to bump into one.
\'Then you rest well, and you can take this money for now,\' After they had finished catching up, Feng Yiping took out all the cash in his wallet, which was less than 3,000 yuan. \'Tomorrow, you go buy some replacement clothes and rest well. I\'ll buy your train ticket for the day after tomorrow. Don\'t worry, they don\'t check ID on sleeper trains. Okay?\'
\'I won\'t need that much,\'
\'Just take it, and pay me back when you get paid. As I said before, the past is the past, don\'t think about it anymore. We\'re both still young, and it\'s okay to experience setbacks. I hope that when I return to the capital, I\'ll see the proud and confident Wen Hong again.\'
On the way back to the hotel, looking at the tall buildings outside and some of the landscape lights that were on all night because of the Canton Fair, Feng Yiping thought that in this bustling city, there might still be other classmates working hard or perhaps sinking lower. He felt even more the need to persevere.
For many people with no qualifications, no capital, and only enthusiasm and strength, it is true to some extent that the saying \'people leave their hometowns to work\' is true. Although there are many opportunities in big cities, they are generally not available to them.
Even for outsiders with qualifications and abilities, if they work very hard and diligently, they may not have half the sense of happiness as their local colleagues, even if they earn twice as much. They have to work hard for many years to buy a house, while others can do so in just one.
If such opportunities could be provided in their hometowns, so that everyone would not have to travel back and forth between their hometowns and workplaces like migratory birds every year, and they could find a job that could support a family without having to travel far from home, things like Wen Hong\'s would not have happened, and their sense of happiness would be bursting.
So, work hard, Feng Yiping!
Zheng Jiayi guessed that no one would feel like they had left their hometown. As soon as they crossed the border, they crossed their arms and looked around, \'Is this Hong Kong?\'
\'Yes, this is Hong Kong,\' a man in semi-broken Mandarin added.
Zheng Jiayi looked over and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and quite a gentleman standing nearby, "Hello Miss Zheng, I\'m Li Ruiyuan from Jiasheng Finance, welcome to Hong Kong.\'
\'Jiasheng?\'
\'Yes," Li Ruiyuan said, looking at Feng Yiping, who was smiling next to him, \'Feng is always my boss.\'
\'Yiping, do you know that I had to fight with President Bao for this opportunity to come and pick you up?\' This was the first thing Li Ruiyuan said after getting into the car.
\'You both have good news?\' Feng Yiping guessed.
\'Haha, I really can\'t hide it from you. President Bao insisted that he must tell you in person. Here, everything went well. There wasn\'t much oil to build a position, but according to your instructions, we bought quite a lot of stocks in those high-tech companies.\'
\'Thank you, Mr Li,\' this is someone else doing the work, which is easier and more efficient than doing it yourself.
As for Bao Zhuoyuan, if there are no unexpected circumstances, it should be settled in the next two days in terms of advertising, otherwise he would not have been so mysterious.
Feng Yiping was also a little sentimental for a moment. It\'s not easy.
This magazine company has been throwing money at it from last year to this year, and not even a sound has been heard. Counting up, at least a Rolls-Royce has been thrown in, so it\'s not true to say that it\'s not heartbreaking.
Although after the March issue, he finally heard a sound, and the subscription rate went up, the most profitable advertisements have never materialised.
Now it seems that there is finally some progress. He is also a little curious now, wondering which manufacturers have such discerning eyes?
However, the most important thing now is, of course, to get Zheng Jiayi\'s business done.
This matter went very smoothly. The industry that best reflects the nature of capitalist society is the banking industry. That is, the wealthier a person is, the more respect and preferential treatment they receive from the bank.
Feng Yiping is not considered a very wealthy person, but the funds available in his account are definitely more than those of the average billionaire. So, they also experienced five-star hotel service at the bank. Zheng Jiayi, the girl, even secretly told him, \'Foreign banking services are so good!\'
Haha, if you have little money, come and try. He won\'t even provide you with basic services, and he won\'t even open an account for you.
\'Sorry, Jiayi, I can\'t accompany you to the mall this afternoon. To be honest, with so many stores, I don\'t know which ones have the most new products or the biggest discounts. However, we have arranged for a girl who knows the market prices of various brands to accompany you. Is that okay? We\'ll be waiting for you for dinner tonight.\' In the hotel, Feng Yiping, after unpacking his luggage, came excitedly to Zheng Jiayi, who was going shopping with him.
\'Don\'t worry, Miss Zheng, you\'ll be accompanied by a fashionista from our company, and you\'ll be sure to buy some new items you\'ll like,\' Li Ruiyuan added, and Feng Yiping had already told them about Zheng Jiayi\'s identity, so they had already made arrangements.
\'Okay then,\' Zheng Jiayi didn\'t want to insist, seeing Feng Yiping\'s pile of work.
The magazine company was finally gaining momentum, and the staff were all very confident. The listless state of a month ago had been swept away. When they met Feng Yiping, the laughter of Bao Zhuoyue could be heard throughout the company. \'Yiping, come in,\'
Feng Yiping had just sat down when he couldn\'t wait to show him two contracts. \'These are the Chinese version advertisements, the first and second spreads, and we\'ve found suitable businesses for both. They\'ve all signed one-year contracts.\'
One is a men\'s clothing store and the other is a watch store. Both are high-end brands that fit the positioning of the publication. The pricing for the Chinese-language advertisements is 550,000 yuan for the first spread and 500,000 yuan for the second spread. This means that 12.6 million yuan will be booked this time, and all the money invested previously has been recovered.
\'A good start, keep up the good work!\' Feng Yiping\'s mood suddenly improved.
These are only two advertising spaces. You should know that they have arranged a total of 23 advertising spaces in the entire publication. Although the pull-out pages on the cover and inside pages are priced higher than these two, all the other advertising spaces are lower than these two. However, the total advertising revenue for one issue is nearly 7 million, and if you also consider some special-shaped advertisements, then with hard work, the annual advertising revenue can also approach 100 million.
\'There is also good news. We have also made progress with the English version of the advertisement. In the past few days, we have been contacted by quite a few companies, including an automobile company and a software company. We are currently in negotiations and have a good chance of success!\' Lao Bao stood up as he spoke, but he was being coy and wouldn\'t say which two companies they were.
