Chapter 208: A Simple Night
I sat down across from Janeway, and she ordered me a latte and asked for a Misto coffee herself, which we would have ordered three years ago when we were at Starbucks.
Actually, I'm not used to drinking coffee anymore because I'm too prone to insomnia now, but I still haven't thought of replacing this latte.
I didn't have any extra words, and asked Jian Wei straight to the point, "What is the current situation of your company?" β
"There are two top advertising planners in the industry, three top designers, and several senior planners and designers, which are enough to meet the needs of customers."
I nodded, if Janeway's advertising company had such a staffing allocation, then it would still be very confident to negotiate with the real estate company.
"Where did you get these elites?" I asked, a little confused.
Jian Wei replied in a calm tone: "I dug it from my father's company, and I was introduced by a friend of TongguΓ²." β
I was silent for a while, although Janeway said that without the help of his father's resources, she would still accept some help when she really started her business, but I have to be sure that with these elites in the industry to join, her company will be easier to develop.
In my silence, Janeway handed me a document and said, "This is a case that our company's planners and designers have done, you can familiarize yourself with it, it will be very helpful for you to go to the negotiation." β
I nodded, and then looked through some of the advertising planning cases I had done for giant real estate companies, and I knew that these classic cases alone had won a lot of bargaining chips for the success of the negotiation.
At this time, Jian Wei said to me with a stern face: "Zhaoyang, I want to remind you that the business is still very difficult this time, although we have a great advantage in planning and designers, but now the company has very limited advertising resources, so far, we have not been able to win an outdoor billboard in Suzhou City, you should know that real estate is dominated by large-scale outdoor advertising." β
I nodded again, the lack of advertising resources, is indeed the biggest obstacle in the negotiation of cooperation, compared with the ability of advertising planning, real estate developers pay more attention to the advertising resources owned by advertising companies, after all, no matter how good the planning is, there is no carrier of communication is also in vain.
I asked Jian Wei with doubts: "If the cooperation can be negotiated, how do you solve the problem of advertising?" β
"And other advertising companies with resources to buy advertising channels."
"It's risky! What if the advertising companies refuse to sublease their advertising channels for their own protection? β
"This is not something you need to worry about, you just have to talk about it with confidence, and I will solve the problems on the advertising channel."
I looked at Janeway and felt that her expression was a little inconsistent, on the one hand, reminding me that the lack of resources in the advertising agency would become an obstacle to negotiation, and on the other hand, telling me not to care about the shortcomings of the lack of resources and to talk boldly.
I took a sip of coffee and didn't think much about it, after all, the bosses of the company are good at playing this set, reminding is afraid that employees will take it lightly, and encouraging is to prevent employees from losing confidence, but Janeway, as a new boss in the workplace, failed to grasp this degree, which makes me feel a little contradictory.
I put the information Janeway gave me in my briefcase, and asked her again, "When will I make an appointment with the other company?" β
"After our planners and designers come up with the preliminary plan of the project, we can make an appointment, and it is estimated that in three days, you can use these few days to learn about several real estate projects that Jinding Real Estate is developing in Suzhou."
I nodded and asked, "This time the annual advertising agency, doesn't Jinding Real Estate go through the public bidding process?" β
"In fact, some time ago, there was a public bidding, but there was no satisfactory advertising company in the bidding process, so this is a challenge and an opportunity for us, are you confident, Zhaoyang?"
"Give it a try."
Jian Wei smiled and said, "I believe you can successfully win this project." β
I simply responded to Janeway's "thank you for your trust", but I already knew the difficulty of winning this project, but in business, as long as I can find out the needs of customers and cater to them perfectly, the probability of success will become very large, so I need to work hard to find the most critical point of customer needs.
β¦β¦
After leaving the coffee shop, Jian Wei and I drove to the hospital to see Fang Yuan, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening when we left the hospital.
Driving home alone, but inevitably seeing those couples snuggling up to each other on the street and talking intimate words, this makes me a little lonely and helpless, because between me and Mi Cai, it seems that I have never enjoyed the ease and simplicity of love.
For example, now I want to treat her to a HΓ€agen-Dazs, and then let her snuggle in my arms and watch her happy smile, but the truth is: she is probably attending a high-end business banquet in Shanghai.
Her status and busyness have decided that it is difficult to have such a little sweetness between us, so I don't dare to hope for it now.
Back in the old house, I didn't stop for a moment to take out the project information of Jinding Real Estate and study, I understand that for me at this stage, career is the most important, because I am 27 years old, and there will be less and less time left for me to struggle.
I think this is also the disadvantage of falling in love after entering society, after all, it is impossible to have enough time to spend with each other like when I was in school.
After more than an hour, I finally felt tired, closed the papers, and looked at the floor lamp across the couch in distraction.
After looking at it for a while, I suddenly wanted to talk to them as I had done before, about the recent troubles, and then let them keep them secret for me, because they seem to have no emotion, but in fact they are the best companions when you are lonely, because they will never laugh at you or get tired of you.
As soon as I lit a cigarette, I started chattering...... Until the door of the house was opened.
I was a little surprised to look at the rice color that suddenly appeared in front of me.
She looked at me in amazement and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?" β
"I thought you weren't going back to Suzhou tonight."
Mi Cai smiled and said, "If I don't come back, you must be bored alone, right?" β
Knowing that Mi Cai came back to accompany me, the overwhelming loneliness that had just spread over the world disappeared in an instant, so he said to her who was changing her shoes: "Don't change it, please eat." β
"Huh? What to eat? β
"You'll find out later." As I spoke, I changed my shoes, and then pulled Mi Cai and ran downstairs.
β¦β¦
The temperature was not too low tonight, and the wind was already warm, so I asked Mi Cai to sit outside and wait for me, while I went to the store to buy two ice cream balls.
I sat down next to Mi Cai, then handed her one of them and said, "Please eat." β
Mi Cai looked a little hesitant, and she said, "Do you really want to eat it?" β
I nodded and said, "Don't all girls like to eat this, just now when I went home and passed by here, I saw a girl eating very happily, I really loved her and invited her to eat HΓ€agen-Dazs advertising slogan." β
Mi Cai smiled and took the ice cream from my hand, then leaned on my shoulder and ate it...... And in this world where there are only the two of us, I finally feel like she's my girlfriend.
After Micai finished eating one of the ice cream balls, I handed her the other one as well, and she looked at me and asked, "Aren't you going to eat it yourself?" β
I shook my head: "Watching you eat is the most comfortable thing I feel, so let's eat." β
Mi Cai looked at me for a long time before taking it from my hand, only this time she ate very slowly, and then I inadvertently saw her hold her lower abdomen, but she quickly let go.
My nerves weren't too big, so I asked her nervously, "Are you having a period or menstrual cramps?" β
"It's okay!"
I held her tightly in my arms, and in addition to being moved and blaming myself, I was really damn good, and let her eat ice cream when she was on her period.
Mi Cai whispered to me and said, "Zhaoyang, I know that sometimes I don't care enough about you because I'm busy with work and ignore your feelings, I hope you don't blame me...... However, I really like to be with you as easy and easy as I am now! β
"Don't say that, in fact, I'm not good enough, and I'm always getting you in trouble."
Mi Cai left my shoulder, and she still said to me in a soft voice: "I found a bouquet of flowers in your car yesterday, you should have planned to give it to me, why didn't you send it in the end, but ran to the bar to drink?" β
