Chapter 871: Entering Beijing to Talk About Advertising
Feng Xu's death did not cause much shock in Zhennan and Langzhou, and even for those who were implicated, this is still a good thing, and ordinary people don't know, know and don't care, he was electrocuted, how many similar accidents are there in the province and the city every day.
But it doesn't mean that this matter is meaningless, there will be no ripples, in fact, Feng Xu's death still brought a series of chain reactions.
First of all, there is a subtle change in the attitude of those who are contrary to the new boss, and they are obviously much more cooperative with the work of the new boss.
The second is that Jin Fukuan's status in Zhennan has obviously improved, although his position has not changed significantly, but the right to speak is obviously heavy, and some people have heard that he will soon be corrected and become a real "prince".
These changes that are invisible to the common people has, to a certain extent, accelerated the dissolution of Jiang Zhaolin's influence in Langzhou.
Regarding Feng Xu's death, Hu Mingchen was surprised and told Kong Linglong, he didn't care much anymore, he now had more important things to deal with, related to Ipe
G's research and development has reached a very critical moment, at this time, every small progress may become the key to success.
Therefore, Hu Mingchen's almost all of his vision and energy are focused on this product.
Since the new product launch conference needs to be live-streamed, Hu Mingchen decided to go to the capital with Chen Xuesheng, after they had contacted national television.
"Xiao Chen, I don't think they will broadcast live for our immature new product, it's too much trouble. Before leaving, Chen Xuesheng expressed pessimism about the results of their trip.
"Uncle Chen, it's not necessary to lose before the battle, we haven't done it yet, I also know that it is difficult to let the national television station broadcast this press conference for us, but we have to fight for it because of the difficulty. Hu Mingchen said with a calm face.
"I'm not pessimistic, I'm just telling the truth about the actual situation, if it's looking for the TV station below, then maybe it's okay. National television, what a sacred media, how could we give a new product release of a company to do live broadcast, before this, but it has not appeared, even if it is a central enterprise has not received such treatment. Chen Xuesheng said.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but there is always a precedent for everything, and we are trying to be the first to eat crabs. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it fails, then we have nothing to lose, not to mention, I have already sent an email to their advertising department, and they have notified us to come to the door to talk, in this case, why not try. I have also thought about the local TV station you mentioned, but the problem is that the influence is too small, and the radiation area is very limited. Not to mention the full coverage of more than one billion people in China and the surrounding areas, and there are also overseas channels, if they are also included, coupled with the cooperation of other media, the influence will not be the same. Hu Mingchen said.
"The most important thing is that I think our company is too small and not famous, and people won't buy it at all, but if you want to try, then we'll go for it. Chen Xuesheng looked a little helpless, even if he agreed, he was a little reluctant.
In Chen Xuesheng's opinion, Hu Mingchen is a bit ambitious, he didn't figure out his strength, to put it simply, he didn't weigh how many catties and taels he had.
National television, is that something that ordinary people can step on? Not to mention that people are helping to hold a press conference, it is necessary to broadcast advertisements on it, and it is also necessary to have a bidding process.
And according to Hu Mingchen, this press conference will last more than an hour, which is simply ...... It's a bit fanciful to think about.
In Hu Mingchen's case, it is precisely because the company is small and not well-known that he wants to find a national TV station to shape its image and create influence.
As for whether it is successful or not, Hu Mingchen does not mind too much for the time being. Perhaps Hu Mingchen also thought of the possibility of failure, which is not small. However, Hu Mingchen can't give up because of this, if he gives up so easily, he won't have today's results.
In Hu Mingchen's eyes, all success cannot be achieved overnight, as long as there is a 1% chance, it is necessary to work 100% hard.
Even if he fails, he must try and work hard before he will accept the result without regrets.
Hu Mingchen didn't plan to do any more persuasion work to Chen Xuesheng, he felt that it was not necessary.
Since he led the development of smartphones, Chen Xuesheng's enthusiasm has not been so high. Not only does he lack the initiative to develop smartphones, but he is not even too optimistic about the publicity and listing in the future.
Hu Mingchen understands Chen Xuesheng's thoughts to a certain extent, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have some complicated considerations in his heart.
If Hu Mingchen is not reborn and comes back, then whoever tries his best to do this, Hu Mingchen's thoughts should not be more positive than Chen Xuesheng's.
After all, no matter from which point of view, the success rate of what Hu Mingchen wants to do is indeed not high.
In today's era of feature phones, it is inherently risky to make a keyboard that abandons the physical keyboard and does not appear to have a fundamental breakthrough change over the existing mobile phone.
The key is that all this still falls on such a small company as Pengbo Electronics, which has no fame, no super strength, and no excellent technical precipitation. It's a bit like a big gamble, like Russian roulette.
As for finding a national television station to broadcast the new product launch live, it is even more risky and unlikely. National TV stations are not commercial TV stations, they have their own strict management procedures, and even for the needs of the market, they will be a little lagging behind.
Even if you get the support of national television through the purchase of advertising, if there is even the slightest accident during the live broadcast, everything you have done will be wasted. Since it's a live broadcast, there is no possibility of covering up the possibility of passing away, but this mobile phone is not so perfect, and it will even crash when you use it.
If there is no signal during the live broadcast, or it simply crashes, then this disaster is enough to sentence this new product to death, and it is impossible for both domestic consumers and foreign customers to have any confidence in this product.
Understanding is understanding, but subjectively, Hu Mingchen still feels that Chen Xuesheng is not the kind of person who is enterprising enough, let alone ambitious, brave to climb the peak and win the first place in the market.
Chen Xuesheng's thinking and intentions are still at the stage of OEM or processing with some supplied materials. Even if he still knows how to make his own products and brands, it will take a long, long time and he will be forced by the market to do it. Secondly, it is his lack of courage to think that it will be difficult for him to achieve proud results.
Although Hu Mingchen already has an opinion on Chen Xuesheng, he will only bury this opinion in his heart.
On the one hand, Chen Xuesheng has helped himself, and he will not change people until he has to. Secondly, Chen Xuesheng is currently the second largest shareholder of the company, and it is impossible for him to give up his studies and come to the front desk full-time. Third, that is Hu Mingchen's understanding of Chen Xuesheng's thoughts. The last point is that Hu Mingchen is also unavailable now. There is no general in Shu, only let Liao become a pioneer. If you wait until IPE
G is listed, Chen Xuesheng is still so fixed and maintains a backward way of thinking, so Hu Mingchen has to seriously think about whether it is necessary to continue to cooperate with him.
This time in Beijing to talk about cooperation, Pengbo Electronics, in addition to Chen Xuesheng, Hu Mingchen, Fang Guoping and Pei Qiang followed.
Pei Qiang came back a day earlier than the other brothers, and it was not interesting to let him stay alone in Pengcheng, so he simply took him with him.
Originally, Chen Xuesheng also proposed to let He Xin go with him and let him explain the professional technical issues.
But considering that he wanted to stay and preside over the overall research and development, Hu Mingchen did not let him go.
Anyway, this time I went to the capital to talk about the nature of the business, and it won't involve much technical things, so it's okay to have Hu Mingchen and Chen Xuesheng.
After arriving in the capital and settling down in the hotel, Hu Mingchen called according to the phone number left by the advertising department to reply to his email.
At first, no one answered the phone, but when I called again, the phone was answered, and the other party introduced himself as Manager Shao of the advertising department.
As soon as he heard that the other party was still a manager, Hu Mingchen was secretly happy in his heart. He is most afraid of answering the phone is a small staff who can't speak, then it will be much more difficult, since he is a manager, at least he is a leader who has some right to speak, so it is much easier to communicate. Even if he can't be the master, at least he can introduce someone who can be the master.
"Hello Manager Shao, we have come to the capital from Pengcheng, you see, if you have time, let's visit your unit. ”
"I'm going to visit the unit, that's good, let's do it, it's a little late today, you guys should come tomorrow morning." By the way, which station and which time period do you want to advertise this time?" Manager Shao was quite good at speaking, and only asked a specific question after agreeing.
"Comprehensive channels and news channels are fine, time slots, we don't have to be prime time, it's okay to stagger some of them. Hu Mingchen said.
"These two channels, oops, that's still a bit difficult, the ads on these two channels are the most sought-after, and they're basically sold out. Manager Shao said on the phone.
"Then I hope Manager Shao can help, I think Manager Shao has a way to arrange to squeeze out some. Hu Mingchen patted this sycophant and said.
"Well, you can come over tomorrow and talk about it in detail, and then consider it according to the price you offer. ”
"That's okay, Manager Shao, you give me an address, and when we go to work tomorrow morning, we will go straight to you. ”
On the phone, Manager Shao told Hu Mingchen an address, but after hearing this address, Hu Mingchen muttered a little.
The reason is that Manager Shao told Hu Mingchen that the address was not the address on Fuxing Road that Hu Mingchen had checked before coming, but in a commercial office building in Dongcheng District.
Hu Mingchen wanted to ask something on the phone, but he was afraid that his tone would be suspicious and people would be unhappy. So he decided, let's go over tomorrow to take a look, in case the advertising business department of a family is separated, the big deal is to be vigilant, don't be tricked by scammers.
