Chapter 143 If You Can't Keep Your People, Just Keep Your Money (It's the End of the Month, Ask for a Monthly Pass, Ask for a Subscription)
If it were someone else, President Feng would have already picked people up: What do you think is the place of "Beijing Daily"? It would be good to give you an advertising page, and dare to pick and choose?
But Chen Geng can't!
In the face of the leader's solemn emphasis on the phone that "we must try our best to meet the requirements of foreign guests", President Feng had no choice but to discuss with Chen Geng with a bitter face: "Mr. Chen, the second edition is really not good, we have decided the content of the next few days, what do you think of the third ......edition? I'd like to find a way to free up a quarter of the space for you......"
Chen Geng didn't speak, but Mirren was unhappy: Just give us a quarter of the layout?
She lightly pursed her lips and said in a strange but beautiful voice: "Mr. Feng, I think you have made a mistake, we not only want to use your recruitment notice to make us, but also use this recruitment notice to show the strength of our company to the public in your country...... Do you think a quarter of the page, or half of the page, is a good indication of the strength of our company?"
After a pause, she looked at her boss.
Not surprisingly, Mirren got an encouraging look from Chen Geng: there are some things that Chen Geng, the boss, is embarrassed to say and can't say, but Mirren, his personal assistant, has no problem saying it.
Mirren, who got Chen Geng's hint, was completely relieved at this time, and she said strongly: "We only need the whole page, and as for the advertising fee, you can set a price." ”
What a mess with deep pockets!
In the face of the completely unreasonable Mirren, President Feng felt that his palms were full of sweat!
For the first time in his life, he began to regret it: It's really troublesome to deal with foreigners, I knew that these foreign devils were so unreasonable, how good it was to push this job to Lao Du and Lao Chu, and he was happy to see the leisure on the side......
But it's too late to say anything now, and in the face of the aggressive Mirren, President Feng had no choice but to ask Ding Haijun for help: "Minister Ding, look at this...... Foreign guests don't know our domestic habits, you should know...... You help me persuade ......"
Ding Haijun didn't take care of himself, he smiled and pushed 625: "There is always a way, besides, Mr. Chen, they don't want the front page and the second page, I think you can think about this matter, and the foreign guests don't give money......
Anyway, it has nothing to do with his own unit, and Comrade Lao Ding does not have any psychological pressure.
After hesitating and hesitating for a long time, President Feng finally gritted his teeth: "For the sake of Sino-US relations, I am free to be criticized by the leaders...... Mr. Chen, how long are you going to run this advertisement?"
The first and second editions are really not given, but the third edition...... In fact, it's not really impossible, that is, if the third edition is given to Chen Geng to advertise, the pressure on him is a bit big, officials, of course, are still used to putting pressure on others, but since the foreign guests refuse to give in, what else can they do?
Chen Geng raised a finger: "A week." ”
"A week?" Anyway, they gave Chen Geng three editions and a full page, whether it was given for one day, three days or a week, in fact, there was no essential difference, and President Feng, who had already taken a step back, didn't bother to talk to Chen Geng about the recruitment notice that had been published for a few days, so he simply broke the jar and broke it: "Okay, a week is a week, but this ...... This ......"
Chen Geng smiled slightly: In the end, he is a cultural person, thin-skinned, embarrassed to take the initiative to talk about money.
"We have to pay advertising money when we use your advertising resources, this is a matter of course," the biggest problem has been negotiated, and Chen Geng is not willing to worry about President Feng on a trivial matter: "How much is the advertising fee for our side?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about," Chen Geng's too direct expression made President Feng's face red, and the foreigner was really too direct: "I mean, we have to review the content of your ads to make sure that there are no violations and conflicts with the current relevant regulations." But if you pay for advertising...... President Feng gritted his teeth: "What does Mr. Chen think about a thousand yuan?"
After saying that, President Feng was even a little embarrassed to look at Chen Geng's eyes, but it was just an advertisement for 7 days, and he offered a price of 1,000 RMB, and the old Comrade Feng felt that his heart was already black and could be used as charcoal.
A thousand yuan in advertising expenses?!Ding Haijun's eyes suddenly burst out: Lao Feng is thinking about money and going crazy?
Before Ding Haijun could speak, Chen Geng nodded: "Okay." ”
President Feng was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened in surprise: "You agreed?"
He had actually been mentally prepared for Chen Geng to bargain with him just now, as long as Chen Geng's offer was not less than five hundred yuan, he agreed: It's a week, but it can't be less than one thousand yuan anyway, right?
Chen Geng nodded: "It's a bit expensive, but it's acceptable...... Mirren, please take a look at our content and the layout structure you designed. ”
Did you even design the layout yourself?
However, when he was surprised, President Feng kept an eye on it: The media advertising industry in the United States is very developed, and I believe that newspapers should often publish some advertisements, and the newspaper can take advantage of this opportunity to advertise for Chen Geng to learn how foreign newspapers make money by advertising -- it is just a week's job advertisement, and a thousand yuan is so lightly in hand, if the advertising business is carried out, maybe in the near future, the newspaper can earn thousands of yuan a month by advertising.
In this era when the per capita salary is only more than 30 yuan, a few thousand yuan is a huge amount of money that ordinary people will never see in their lives.
But now it's still far away to think about this, President Feng hurriedly settled down, took the layout designed by the other party from Mirren's hand, and prepared to see if there was anything inappropriate in the content, but when he swept it up, President Feng was trembling: "Mr. Chen, you wrote this place wrong, right?"
"What's wrong?" Chen Geng stretched out his head to look at it, and then shook his head: "That's right, it's 300 yuan a month." ”
President Feng's hands are trembling!
I am a deputy department-level establishment, enjoy department-level treatment, seniority salary plus establishment salary, and now the income I get every month is more than 70 yuan, compared with the monthly salary of 41 yuan 1 for fourth-level workers and the salary of 51 yuan 5 for undergraduates who have just been allocated, it has been a cut above the boss, but ......
A salary of 300 yuan a month plus a floating bonus!
Promise a monthly income of no less than 400!
At the end of the year, there is a year-end bonus equivalent to half a year's income!
Roughly calculated, in a year, the annual income is at least seven or eight thousand yuan, which is almost equivalent to one's income for ten years, not to mention the treatment that cannot be expressed in money, such as housing, cars and "other benefits".
President Feng is also in his 50s, but when he saw the treatment of the factory director given to him by Chen Geng, he really had the feeling that "Lao Tzu has lived to a dog all these years!".
Trying to force himself to calm down, President Feng turned his head to Ding Haijun and asked, "Minister Ding, is this ...... This one...... Is it appropriate?"
Everyone's salary is only a few dozen yuan, and the cadres with many years of service are only sixty, seventy, seventy, or eighty.
Although President Feng didn't say anything, Ding Haijun also understood what he meant, nodded and said in a deep voice: "The leader said that comrades who are willing to work in Mr. Chen's unit still take a certain risk. ”
I see!
Our country, whether it is cadres or workers are the state establishment, although the income is low, but drought and flood to ensure income, the end is an iron rice bowl, eat the treasury grain, sick also have the state to give medical expenses, Chen Geng's unit is a foreign company, to put it bluntly, maybe one day in the future will go out of business, since the iron rice bowl has been put down, the choice of riskier foreign-funded enterprises, naturally to allow people to make more money, this is also human nature, in the long run, it is really hard to say who lost and earned.
"Since that's the case, then there's no problem," Thinking about it, President Feng felt a lot more comfortable, read the recruitment notice again, and finally nodded after making sure that there was no problem: "Mr. Chen, your recruitment notice will be published in three days, do you see?"
"Three days later? No problem. Chen Geng nodded happily, just right, the little devil will arrive tomorrow, and after signing the contract with the little devil, it will be just in time to assess the people who come to sign up, which is perfect.
Since there is no problem, then there is no matter, Chen Geng paid on the spot and took the receipt, even if the matter is so decided.
————————————
Looking at Chen Geng, who exchanged contracts with Kume Shizhi, and the leaders of the Chinese side who attended the signing ceremony together, their eyes were red one by one: It's as simple as that, and 8.2 million US dollars has been earned?
That's too easy, right?!
Sun Shoupeng, the director of the Jialing Factory, who rushed to the capital, looked at Chen Geng on the stage, his eyes were red, and he refused to let go of the hand of a leader of the first machine department: "Old leader, you want to think of a way, you want to think of a way, this is more than 8 million US dollars, even if we can stay half or a third, how much can we do?!"
There is no need for Sun Shoupeng to say, the eyes of the leaders present are also red, racking their brains to keep Chen Geng's $8.2 million, just like Sun Shoupeng said, even if you can't stay all, even if you can only stay half and one-third, then you can do a lot of things, right?
"If people don't let go, what can we do?" was a little impatient by Sun Shoupeng, and the leader of the first machine department said angrily: "If you have the ability to persuade Chen Geng to cooperate with you, as long as you can persuade Chen Geng to cooperate with you, this can at least stay for two or three million dollars, right?"
"Huh?" Sun Shoupeng blinked and pondered, and suddenly slapped his thigh excitedly: "Ah, it's still a great leader, why didn't I expect it?!"
