Chapter 019: Advertising Turmoil

In late April, Kyoto is already in late spring, and the weather is getting warmer.

In the morning, the sky is blue and clear, like a wide and quiet sea, without a single cloud, and the air is moist and refreshing.

In the spring sunshine, everything is like repainted in various colors, and everything seems to be new.

A high-end apartment community

Out of the gate was a tall young man, dressed in a white casual suit with thin dark stripes, a fuchsia shirt, stone-ground light blue jeans, black-headed and white-top two-tone casual leather shoes, and carrying a large designer leather bag.

The bag was not a valuable item of gold, silver and jewelry, but a promotional material and a folded empty box of samples.

He whistled and walked easily towards the subway station across the neighborhood.

Since living in the apartment community, Ouyang Xuan does not have to go out in the morning every day, but sets off at about 8:30 in the morning, takes Lines 1 and 2 to reach the destination within half an hour, and then walks street by street and store by store to visit or promote on-site promotions as planned.

In some areas, it is not convenient to take the subway, so you can use bicycles.

Of course, I also find time to visit in the evening, because many pharmacies are open until 10 o'clock in the evening. Especially at the entrance of the community or nearby, it is convenient for customers.

In short, sales in the area under his jurisdiction are booming, and Zhang Jiali is very satisfied with his testing. Of course, there was one person who was very dissatisfied with him, because the marketing department forcibly cut off a piece of fat from him.

"Brother Zhang, it's none of my business, it's not that I'm going to leave the workstation......" Ouyang Xuan pretended to be very reluctant and painful.

"I know you won't betray your friends, but I can only blame this witch girl who has suffered a thousand cuts, I ......"

Zhang Shangrong scolded his mother angrily with a gloomy face. Of course, the second half of the sentence was very quiet, and he was afraid that Ouyang Xuan would pass it on, so he still dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Zhang Jiali explained the company's settlement policy to him that Shang Rongke deducted 40% of the commission of the OTC salesman as a management fee, and only 5% was retained according to the company's regulations, and 8% at most was already very high.

It is no wonder that Cheng Gang and Yang Xiufeng gave him the nickname "Zhang Dana," and their hearts were too black and greedy! This is just like "drinking the blood of soldiers" during the war years.

Every year, he spends his money on eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and now he doesn't do much business except for a few big hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.

Kyoto in spring is beautiful, the wind is soft, the air is fresh, and the sun is warm.

Ouyang Xuan walked into a pharmacy, took out the folded empty packaging boxes from the bag, and reduced them to empty boxes that could hold medicines, replacing the original display made with real samples.

It turned out that Ouyang Xuan recently saw Master Gao often pulling a car full of damaged or expired samples back to the company, and when he asked, he realized that most of them were display samples returned from pharmacies.

It is understandable to use a few physical objects as samples, after all, the amount is small. However, it is a big waste to use physical objects to display and promote products, and drugs only have a two-year validity period, and they must comply with the provisions of the Drug Administration Law when placed on the counter.

Not to mention the use of physical objects to make display fees, the pharmacy that is about to expire also requires the manufacturer to return it and replace it with a new one, which is incalculable waste day after day and year after year.

Ouyang Xuan asked Zhang Jiali to ask the company to print a batch of blank and small packaging boxes with thick and hard cardboard to replace the original physical product display.

This rationalization proposal not only saves a lot of money for the company every year, but also saves a lot of manpower and material resources for the market, which is really a clever move and kills two birds with one stone.

Almost one morning, Ouyang Xuan had replaced the displays of more than 20 pharmacies, concentrated the replaced physical objects in large packaging boxes, temporarily placed them in a pharmacy, and dragged them back to the company's temporary warehouse in the future.

Ouyang Xuan changed the street again, and wanted to walk to the end just until noon, so he had a Chinese meal at a small restaurant there and rested for a while.

He walked to the first large-scale 'Jimin Pharmacy' and saw the counter manager, Sister Cai, looking around at the door.

"Sister Cai, are you looking for?" Ouyang Xuan greeted sweetly from afar.

"Ouch, my little master, you have finally appeared, come on!"

Sister Cai used a gesture to tell him to come over quickly, but it turned out that she was looking at the door to find him.

"Hey, big sister, we haven't seen each other for two days, isn't it like every three autumns!"

Ouyang Xuan has now also learned to say ambiguous meat jokes to make fun of and liven up the atmosphere.

"your young poor mouth, I'm telling you to be serious. Something happened to your medicine!" Sister Cai pulled him in the door and whispered in her ear.

"What can happen?"

Ouyang Xuan was startled and smiled, and the ridicule just now ran away from the nine heavens.

"It's the industrial and commercial department! Yesterday it was the industrial and commercial office, today it is the inspection team of the market section of the industrial and commercial bureau, and there is also the advertising department.

"What are you looking for my medicine for?" Ouyang Xuan was suddenly surprised.

"It's the advertising post you made, the 'pure natural gastrointestinal motility medicine' on it, you didn't file this content with the advertising department!" Sister Cai said more accurately this time.

I didn't advertise it on TV or in newspapers, I just shouted a slogan in the store and made it up. Ouyang Xuan was very unimpressed.

"Ouch! I can't tell you clearly, anyway, they came to collect evidence today, took pictures and transcripts, and took away all these propaganda posts. No, they had walked through many pharmacies in a row, and now they were on the street in front of them. ”

Sister Cai was very serious when she talked, obviously not the joke she used to like to flirt and scold.

"Okay, I'll go over and take a look first, thank you, eldest sister!"

Ouyang Xuan felt that things were a little not simple, not like he was joking. Hurriedly strode to the street in front of him. Sure enough, I saw five or six people in big-brimmed hats and light blue industrial and commercial uniforms who had just come out of a drugstore, holding a stack of propaganda posters that they had made outside.

So what to do?

Ouyang Xuan, who has just stepped out of school and entered the society for less than a year, is indeed a little masterless and inexperienced at the moment, and he doesn't know what to do next.

It was already past noon, Ouyang Xuan walked into a 'Shangdao Coffee Shop' on the street, went in and asked for a cup of charcoal coffee, and he didn't have the heart to eat, smoking a cigarette and being stunned.

It's not okay to wait stupidly, or take the initiative to come to the door to ask clearly, explain the original tail, maybe the industrial and commercial department will deal with it lightly as appropriate.

Anyway, 'ugly daughter-in-law will eventually see her in-laws', it's better to see you early than late!

After thinking about it, I don't panic, I feel hungry.

"Waiter, let's have a Japanese-style eel rice!"

"Okay!"

After a while, the fragrant Japanese-style eel rice was served, and he opened his mouth to eat it.

This kind of Japanese-style eel rice was made at noon in the early winter when I hid in a coffee shop on the island to warm up, and asked for a Japanese-style eel rice to taste, but I didn't expect to like it ever since. In the future, I will order this for a light meal at a coffee shop on the island or the peninsula.

When I was almost done, my phone rang. Look at the caller ID is a landline call.

"Hey... Who is it..."Ouyang Xuan answered the phone.

"Are you Ouyang Xuan?" pretended to be a low Beijing-style male voice in the microphone, full of confidence and condescending momentum, this kind of momentum is only common in officialdom.

Ouyang Xuan immediately sensed that it was the Industrial and Commercial Bureau calling.

"I'm Ouyang Xuan, may I ask if there is a ......" The voice tried to be as soft as possible.

"My surname is Zeng from the Advertising Section of the Industrial and Commercial Branch, please come to the Advertising Section of the Industrial and Commercial Branch before 3 o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Well... Okay, I'll be there on time! So what's ......" Ouyang Xuan just wanted to ask the address of the industrial and commercial branch or how to go, but the other party "snapped" and put the phone on hold.

Oh, it's a real cow!

Ouyang Xuan paused for about 2 minutes, took a few deep breaths, and then pressed the call to call back......

It was a woman who answered the phone.

"Where is the address of the Advertising Section of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau?

"Address ......"

The woman on the phone seemed to be accustomed to this kind of questioning, especially when she heard a foreign accent, and she answered in detail and fluently.

Ouyang Xuan saw that the time was about to take the subway and walk, so he hurriedly paid the bill and left the Shangdao coffee shop and walked to the industrial and commercial branch.
