Chapter 332: Behind the Big Gamble
Hussein looked at Zhou Ming in a daze, he didn't know what words to use to describe the surprise in his heart at this time, because he originally thought that what he said about challenging the securities company was already exaggerated, but he didn't think that Zhou Ming actually wanted to challenge the entire financial system? What else do you say Our journey is a sea of stars? This is not an exaggeration, it is simply arrogant to the limitless!
Who do you think you are? the son-in-law of the chairman of the Federal Reserve, or the young head of the National Treasury, or the stake in all the banks of the United States?
Hussein wanted to question Zhou Ming face to face, but he still couldn't say it in the end, just said very euphemistically: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think this kind of advertising will be a little inappropriate, although I know that it is a very common trick to raise the tone in advertising and marketing, and directly attack famous brands, but it does not work anytime and anywhere, and sometimes it will only backfire and make consumers think that you are talking empty words." ”
"So Mr. Hussein, do you think I'm just shouting a slogan in front of you?" Zhou Ming asked himself, "but I seriously want to do it." ”
Hussein once again felt that his head was stuck, because it was already very arrogant to shout that kind of slogan, but because many small companies will take the initiative to fight advertising wars with large companies in order to pursue exposure, and shout some unrealistic slogans, it doesn't matter, but now Zhou Ming said that he really intends to do this, it is not arrogance, but a typical mental abnormality.
"For Mr. Hussein, you put forward the advertising plan, in general, I still very much agree, because our insurance and wealth management products are mainly for the middle class, with the concept of family to guide them to tell them the difference between insurance and financial management and other insurance or fund stocks, which is very good, but only in the place where we want to challenge the securities company, I feel that the strength is still lacking, as long as it is done here is perfect. Zhou Ming said.
"Hey, wait a minute, Mr. Zhou Ming," Hussein interrupted Zhou Ming, "Are you sure you have to shout slogans like that? If you shout like that, I will refuse to take over this advertisement, because my advertising agency is to give clients the perfect advertising idea and make them money, not to let them run for president on TV, you know, only those politicians will say that stinky with their eyes open on TV commercials!"
"But this ad idea is perfect, isn't it?" Zhou Ming said.
"But just one drunkard can make a whole room smell!" Hussein exclaimed.
After saying that, Hussein paused for a moment to calm down and then said: "This is my principle, I must give you the best." ”
"Correct, it's what you think is the best. When Zhou Ming saw what Hussein was about to say, he immediately stopped him and continued, "Besides, I don't think that principles are immutable, so I can report my budget to you, 500,000 US dollars." ”
Zhou Ming stretched out five fingers as he spoke, but Hussein was not cold: "Mr. Zhou Ming, this is not a matter of money, it is a principle!"
Zhou Ming stretched out his other hand and added a finger: "Six hundred thousand dollars." ”
Hussein became a little angry: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I hope you can show some respect for me and show the attitude that a collaborator should have, not a dictatorship like Hitler!"
Zhou Ming added two fingers at one time: "$800,000, either agree or I'll leave immediately." ”
Hussein was stunned for a moment, but only for a moment, he immediately made a choice: "Deal." ”
Zhou Ming smiled, stretched out another finger and said, "But I still have one more attached."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) plus the condition, that is, my commercial production must be fast, I hope to see my commercial before the classic Brighton movie at the end of the month. ”
Hussein spread his hands: "What's so difficult about this? Except for the Harrys' schedule that needs to be coordinated, I think all the work can be completed within a week, which means that as long as you can pay in time, Mr. Zhou Ming, I guarantee that you can see this commercial before Valentine's Day." Thanks to your generosity, I would like to introduce you to the head of the advertising centre at Brighton City Television. ”
"I didn't expect your company to have such benefits, which saves us the trouble of finding a TV station. Zhou Ming said.
"I can help you buy a little more time in prime time through my connections, but you still have to pay for the TV station's advertising expenses. Hussain added.
"Of course, if you still need Mr. Hussein to pay for advertising, I think you should close your business after finishing this business, and the cost of broadcasting is much higher than the production cost. Zhou Ming said.
After negotiating the advertising matter, Zhou Ming and Danny went home, and when they returned to the car, Danny said to Zhou Ming: "I really don't know what to say to Zhou Ming, you only have a total of 1.1 million US dollars in funds on hand now, and you actually have the courage to take 800,000 yuan to advertise, do you think that these 300,000 can buy the prime time of the TV station?"
"But at least we can pay the down payment, and of course we will not only advertise in prime time on TV, but I will also advertise outdoors, such as subway stations and bus stops, and at least let the majority of the middle class know that there is such an insurance product, so that we can maximize our returns." Zhou Ming said.
"I understand what you're talking about, but what about the money? You only have 300,000 yuan, but you can't do these things. Danny said.
"Just yesterday, I took this project to the Donkey Bank to apply for a loan, and the Donkey Bank decided to lend me a million dollars, and the money will definitely be enough. Zhou Ming said.
Danny said helplessly: "Zhou Ming, I don't know what to say, you are the most able person to spend money, not only spent 80% of the funds in your hand in just one day, but even had to find a bank to borrow another million, do you really think that this money is blown by a tornado?"
"Chairman Danny, I think you're a little too excited, isn't it just two million dollars? This is nothing to me, but I'm burdened with 20 million possible claims, how can I not find a way to get money?" Zhou Ming said.
Danny frowned and asked Zhou Ming: "You just believe that when the advertisement is broadcast, your insurance and wealth management products will sell well?"
Zhou Ming nodded and said, "I am very confident. ”
……
Then Zhou Ming and Danny's car drove away, and just after their car drove away, a small car behind suddenly drove out of the dark, this car was not the same as an ordinary car, his windows were pasted with a layer of cellophane, and he couldn't see what was going on inside from the outside.
Usually private investigators like to do this, but in this car it is not a private investigator, but Wharton.
Since Wharton and Old Brooke reached an agreement, he has been observing Zhou Ming in the dark, when Zhou Ming was at school, he would use a telescope to observe in the room on the 12th floor of Building 365 Charles Avenue, if he observed that Zhou Ming was going out of the house, he would immediately go out and get in the car to track, of course, this car was also prepared by Old Brook for him.
The last time Zhou Ming's press conference was told to Old Brooke by Wharton in advance;
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) is the same, when he saw Zhou Ming set off, he followed Zhou Ming to Brighton Building.
Wharton glanced up at Brighton Tower, he thought for a while, and finally stepped on the accelerator, followed Zhou Ming's car first, and only returned to Brighton Tower after making sure that Zhou Ming was going back to school.
Wharton parked the car in the parking lot, and he got out of the car to go to Brighton Tower, but as soon as he entered the building, he immediately quit, because he saw the building's security guard covering his nose when he entered, and he remembered the situation in his room, and he might have a bad smell on his body.
So he immediately went back to the car, went to the nearby mall to buy a temporary set of decent clothes, then opened a room in the hotel, bathed himself as fast as he could, sprayed himself with perfume, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with him before going to Brighton House again. This time Wharton stayed in the building for an hour and a half, and when he came down, he did not go back to the car, but went to the telephone booth next to him and called Old Brooke.
"Mr. Brooke, I'm Wharton, I'm in the phone booth in front of the Brighton building right now, I know I'm bothering you, but I ask you to put it aside for a while, no matter how important it is, because I have a very important message for you, it's about Zhou Ming. ”
Wharton paused at this point, then continued: "I just followed him to Brighton House, and I know that he went to the advertising agency Namm, and he is going to advertise on the TV station......"
Before Wharton finished speaking, he hurriedly explained: "No, no, Mr. Brooke, please don't be angry, if it were just that simple, I would definitely not be so anxious to call you, wasting your time, I also understand that any company and any product needs advertising, but in fact, I want to tell you that Zhou Ming, that Chinese, must have spent more than six hundred thousand dollars on this advertisement." ”
"Mr. Brooke, we are partners, and I have no reason to deceive you. "I know because I know about the agency, and when I first went there, I found that all of their executives were in a meeting to work on a big advertising project, and they were in a hurry." As far as I know, this advertising agency will only give customers such an expedited performance when they encounter more than 600,000 advertising projects. ”
"Of course, I also know that Namu advertising agency is very powerful, and there may be other customers, but I asked their front desk secretary while waiting, and the answer I got was no, they have only one big customer in the past half a month. ”
Wharton finally concluded: "Then it can only be Zhou Ming, the Chinese, Mr. Brooke, you know that he is in a hurry to make money now." ”
"Yes, I guess Zhou Ming must have taken a lot of money to advertise, and his insurance company must not have much money in his account, so he still has to advertise on TV stations, or outdoor advertising, and the cost of these advertisements is not lower than making advertisements. ”
Wharton thought for a while and said: "I know that Hoover from the Don's Bank came to Zhou Ming some time ago, so I guess he must have gotten a loan from the Don's Bank, so if we can find a way to get stuck with this loan and cut off Zhou Ming's capital flow, then his propaganda plan will be devastated, and his company will have no funds available." ”
"Finally, when your contract with him, Mr. Brooke, comes into effect, we can bankrupt his insurance company and send him to prison, and he will not be able to fight back but beg for mercy from us. ”
Wharton smiled and said, "That Chinese wants to gamble, we will let him lose everything!"
