Zhou Ming and Danny followed a secretary to the lounge of Namm Advertising Agency and sat down, and the secretary made coffee for them.
While cooking, the secretary said to them: "These are coffee beans from the Brasilia farms, and their coffee beans are fermented in a special way, so that the coffee beans they produce have a more mellow aroma that only the company's distinguished customers have the right to enjoy." ”
Danny said, "I don't know if it's true, but at least your words sound heartwarming. ”
After about ten minutes, the coffee was brewed, and the secretary brought it to everyone separately, and then exited the room: "I'm in the office outside, if you need anything, you can call me at any time through the phone on the table in front of you, please rest here for a while, as soon as the meeting on the chairman's side ends, I will notify you as soon as possible." ”
Danny nodded and said hello to Miss Secretary, and after Miss Secretary closed the door, he said to Zhou Ming: "Actually, to be honest, it's too risky for you to do this, now your insurance company has only been working for less than a week, and you only have no more than 1.1 million funds on your books, and this time you have opened a budget of 900,000 yuan for advertising, which is simply a madman's move." ”
Zhou Ming looked at Danny with a smile and asked, "Then what do you want to explain, am I speculating?"
"You're gambling, a crazy gamble!" said Danny.
?“ I haven't denied it all along, it was a big gamble, but I had no choice. ”
Zhou Ming took a sip of coffee and said: "I know what Danny wants to say, I am now facing two insurance policies, an ocean freighter worth tens of millions, and a medical insurance policy worth tens of millions, no matter which one of them attacks, they can kill Wharton, now or in the future." Of course, the port city shipping group may be able to rest assured, after all, they are also time-honored, but old Brooke's side must have ulterior motives. ”
"Old Brooke may have asked me to sign this policy in order to send me hundreds of sick numbers, even if they are healthy, he can poison them in the cafeteria, he doesn't care about the lives of these hundreds of workers, he only cares about me. "But no matter what he wants to do, at least not now, because my policy has only been effective since May, and now it's only March, and if he really wants to get me hundreds of sick numbers, it will have to wait until two months later." ”
"So you're trying to make as much money as you can over the course of two months, using the only $1.1 million you have?" Danny asked.
"Yes, I don't think I have the perseverance to sit here and do nothing knowing that someone is going to deal with me, if I only have $1.1 million in hand in May, then Old Brooke can find me some sick number, or he simply uses a missile to blow up and sink the ship of the Port City Shipping Group, and I'm finished!" Zhou Ming said, "I have to be flexible, polish the knife first, and turn $1.1 million into $11.1 million, so that I can say to Old Brooke, you are here to beat me." ”
Zhou Ming finally added: "Of course, the most important thing is that I am sure that my insurance and wealth management products can bring me 11 million US dollars, as long as this advertising company can really come up with good ideas for me." ”
"Well, of course, it's the best advertising agency, and my dad's company often comes to them to create ads, and there are a lot of bigger companies!" Danny said.
At this time, the door of the lounge opened, and Hussein, the chairman of the advertising agency, walked in, he first greeted Zhou Ming Danny, and then sat down and said to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, please forgive me directly, I have already talked to my creative director just now, and we have also preliminarily drawn up some very good ideas, so I need to ask Mr. Zhou Ming first, what is the budget for this advertising production?"
"Mr. Hussein has indeed gone a little too far in terms of talking about money in advance. Zhou Ming said, "But I still decided to listen to Mr. Hussein's ideas first, and then I will decide on the price." ”
Hussein leaned back on the sofa and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, our advertising agency sells not tomatoes but creativity, so there is no reason to look at them before they buy." ”
"Is Mr. Hussein worried that I am cheating you into advertising ideas, and then find a cheap advertising agency to make advertisements?" Zhou Ming asked.
"Actually, I don't want to have such thoughts, but some things are better to be safe, I myself have no bad feelings towards Mr. Zhou Ming, but some things can still be avoided as much as possible, you don't know, you Chinese in Brighton has always had a bad reputation." Hussein said very casually, with a posture that he didn't take Zhou Ming seriously at all.
Hussein's performance made Chen Shu and Ye Ning very angry, who is this person? Why do you look like a bull, you are here to talk to him about business, not to beg him. They wanted to stand up and scold him a few words, but Zhou Ming didn't speak in front, and they couldn't speak.
Zhou Ming just smiled at this: "So that's the case, then since that's the case, I think there is nothing to talk about between us, goodbye." ”
After speaking, Zhou Ming got up and walked towards the door with Chen Shu and Ye Ning, this change made Hussein dumbfounded all of a sudden, he thought that Zhou Ming would try to say something, but he never thought that he would turn his head and walk directly, what is the situation?
Hussein is the chairman of the advertising company, although his mind was blank at this moment, he still got up and stopped Zhou Ming as soon as he reacted: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhou Ming, I think my wording just now may be a little inappropriate, I can apologize for this......"
Without waiting for Hussein to finish, Zhou Ming interrupted him: "You are not a matter of wording, but your attitude, I am here to talk to you about cooperative business, not to ask you to advertise, you can guard your creativity and bring it into the coffin together, but please don't use your own quality to doubt the character of others, I dare not say how good the Chinese are, but at least it is much better than you think." ”
Hussein lowered his head and said yes, not daring to look up at Zhou Ming's gaze, as if Zhou Ming's words weighed on his head.
"So can we talk about your ideas now?" Zhou Ming asked.
Facing Zhou Ming's question, it could be seen that Hussein struggled for a while and finally nodded, which made Chen Shu and Ye Ning, who were following Zhou Ming, almost laugh out loud. Because Zhou Ming had taught them before, that's how it is to bargain in department stores, if you quote an almost reasonable price, if the boss doesn't agree with you to turn around and leave, the boss will definitely shout at you to sell, and now Hussein is obviously like this.
Zhou Ming and Hussein returned to the sofa and sat down, Hussein asked Zhou Ming: "I actually want to ask Mr. Zhou Ming a question, if I didn't call Mr. Zhou Ming just now, would you really go out directly?"
"But actually, I know that Chairman Hussein will definitely call me out, because you are not the kind of person who will give up easily, and you know what you need. ”
Zhou Ming replied to Hussein that Zhou Ming knew very well that since he asked this question, he obviously reacted that he was bluffed, so Zhou Ming praised him lightly in his words.
"Mr. Zhou Ming's words are like magic, which makes people irrefutable. ”
Hussein shook his head helplessly and said, in fact, he himself understood that since he had already called Zhou Ming back, there was no point in dwelling on this issue any longer.
"Now let's talk about the advertisement that Mr. Zhou Ming wants, I remember Mr. Zhou Ming, you said that the main purpose of this insurance and wealth management product is to buy an insurance product at the same time, and at the same time, you can get a much higher income than the bank, so I think this advertisement should start from here. ”
Hussein went on to say: " Well, we can advertise a young couple who are married, and they complain at home that prices are going up again, that their children are going to buy new clothes, that their mortgages and car loans are being repaid, and that damn tax bill is coming after them, but they still have to take out some of the money to buy insurance, because it is necessary, otherwise they will no longer have medical protection for their lives, and at the same time, they will take out some of the money to invest in stocks and funds, which is also necessary, only then can they earn the children's milk powder money from the stock market for the next month. ”
"At this time, if you can buy an insurance and wealth management product, so that you can put insurance and investment together, you can get both insurance and investment, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone; ”
Hussein said: "Of course, in order to show the effect, we can also invite the more people-friendly Harry couple to play, and find a very cute baby, so that everyone can think, to think about whether they are also worried about buying a three-dollar or four-dollar hamburger, whether they are also worried about the various loans, credit cards and tax bills sent to the door every month, as long as they think, they will think of the good of this insurance and financial products, and they will want to buy it." ”
Hussein paused when he said this, he glanced at Zhou Ming, gritted his teeth and said: "Finally, Mr. Zhou Ming, if you still think this is not shocking enough, we can even let the Harry couple say that it is a subversion and challenge to the securities company, and we no longer have to listen to those securities brokers chattering in our ears about which stock to buy, and whether it will fall after buying, because all our money can be handed over to the insurance company!"
After hearing Hussein, Zhou Ming shook his head lightly and said, "This is not very good. ”
"Of course this is not good, after all, securities companies are very large, they have hundreds of millions of huge funds, but they will not care about us, because no one can challenge them, so Mr. Zhou Ming, even if you say so, there will be no problem, no one will sue you, and no consumers will come to the TV station to accuse you of cheating. Hussein explained.
Listening to Hussein's explanation, Zhou Ming smiled, and he told Hussein: "You seem to have misunderstood, I'm not saying that it's bad to challenge securities companies, but it's just that challenging securities companies is not too small, our journey is a sea of stars, so what we need to challenge is the entire financial system." ”
Hussein was dumbfounded again.
