017 The wisher takes the bait
Lin Weiran's office is located on the third floor of the company, which is a small cubicle where the creative department has always placed sundries, and when he first arrived here, it took Lin Weiran a morning just to tidy up the desk, and the colleagues in the creative department even had time to say hello to him as a newcomer and then put into their busy work. Compared with the relatively idle finance department, Lin Weiran prefers the creative department directly led by Huang Rencheng, as the department that generates the most revenue in the company, there seems to be an indescribable vitality here, which makes the whole office look vibrant.
Holding a copy of William. Ahrens's 'Contemporary Advertising' leaned back in his chair, Lin Weiran continued to expand his knowledge, always dealing with numbers, he preferred examples to those concepts and conclusions, this book sorted out from miscellaneous things was made a lot of notes, including a variety of popular explanations, so that Lin Weiran, who was dizzy in the definition of those similar noun explanations, brightened his eyes.
Of course, there are also specific plans in the notes, and there are very unique insights into key parts such as the 'halo effect' and the 'exact application of soft advertising'. In addition to a few banned books and periodicals that are really boring, he also found related books and periodicals such as 'Modern Public Relations', 'Media Economics', and 'Popular Psychology', all of which have detailed notes on them, and they all seem to be written by the same person.
Connecting these notes together is a valuable asset, Lin Weiran simply combined a few paragraphs of notes from several books to write a theoretically impeccable advertising plan, although he knows that there is a considerable distance between theory and reality, but only a few records can do this is enough to prove the gold content of these notes. He began to be curious about the owners of these books, and they were piled up here like garbage, and their owners might have left long ago.
Lin Weiran has always been quiet in the office, although he needs to communicate more with his colleagues when he first arrives, but the damn fame always makes him not very popular. After the revelation of the personal proposal in the report, the guys who always come to trouble him on weekdays seem to suddenly understand that they need to do their own things, and no one comes to him for help.
Lin Weiran, who is always looking for work everywhere, seems to be happy, he no longer walks around various departments of the company with a warm and honest smile, nor does he pretend to be a clown who doesn't understand the cynicism of some people, for these old fritters who have been in the workplace for some years, the battle between Fang Zhihe and Lin Weiran is enough to arouse their vigilance. One side is the company's real power executive, and the other party is a complete new employee, and the disparity in strength is huge, but the winner has not yet been distinguished.
"Weiran, I have to wait for a fax in the afternoon, can you go for me?"
When Lin Weiran heard the prestige, the man who spoke was really familiar, when he was in the finance department, Lin Weiran often saw him and a curly-haired woman eyebrows, and the day when men and women were thieves and prostitutes should not be far away. Seeing that a few staff members gathered together behind him were watching curiously, it was estimated that this was another trick to bully newcomers.
After putting the bookmark, Lin Weiran put on a foolish smile and said honestly: "No problem, since it is the senior's request, I will definitely do it." ”
"Then thank you."
The smile on the man's face made people not look fake, but when he turned around, he directly changed to a show-off look, he walked back into the small circle of two or three people, looked at Lin Weiran's back when he left the office, and showed off: "I just said that he must listen to me, you see, right?" ”
The man's showing off made these people amazed, and they muttered in their hearts, could it be that the rumors are wrong, Lin Weiran really has no background? …,
One person asked, "Isn't Minister Fang very tired of this newcomer?" He's still in the company for so long, isn't there really any backstage? ”
"What backstage? It's just that President Huang thinks his proposal is good. The man said disdainfully, but then remembered that Lin Weiran got the public welfare project, and said hatefully, "It's just a newcomer, I don't understand anything, and I don't know what Lu Dao is to report level by level, I really don't know where Lu Dao came from to be such a living treasure." ”
He looked at his colleagues again and said with a smile: "Just like me, just make fun of him, he can do this." ”
This kind of thing has been happening almost every day in the past few days, sometimes it is copying documents, sometimes it is waiting for faxes, of course Lin Weiran knows what this 'senior' is thinking, because the workplace is sometimes like a school, there must always be a 'soft egg' who is often bullied for everyone to have fun, and this senior seems to have made up his mind to push Lin Weiran into the position of this 'workplace soft egg'.
There are no chairs in the copy room, and Lin Weiran once stood here for an hour for this 'senior'. He leaned against the wall next to the fax machine and looked at the 'Contemporary Advertising' in his hand, his expression calm, so that people could not see the slightest hidden shame or angry unwillingness.
One page, two pages, three pages, a full thirty minutes passed, and the fax machine finally 'dripped'. Lin Weiran glanced at the fax row, and the familiar Chinese made him forget to put the bookmark and close the 'contemporary advertising' in his hand. It wasn't until the whole paper was slowly spit out by the fax machine that Lin Weiran took it to his eyes and looked at it carefully.
The fax came from a foreign trade company in China, and of course Lin Weiran was not difficult to read the fax word by word, which was many times more serious than reading the 'contemporary advertising book' in his hand. It took the fax machine a full five minutes to print all the materials, and when Lin Weiran saw the price appendix at the back, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
He muttered, "The fish is hooked." ”
……
Lin Weiran, who was finally willing to be patient and no longer rampage in his sophomore year, once learned fishing skills from the old professor, at first because he needed to get up early every day, and he had to take a bus for more than an hour to run to the outskirts of the city. The old professor never said anything about his complaints, and the gray-haired old man just opened his own pony and sat by the pond for a whole morning. When Lin Weiran was finally able to face all this calmly, the old man finally said with a smile.
"Those who wish take the bait."
Lin Weiran was speechless, because he insisted on getting up early every day and spending a morning in front of the pond. Just like now, he has no reason to contact these materials anymore after leaving the finance department, and being a 'workplace softie' may not be glamorous, but it is the most effective means to achieve the goal.
A few steps away from the fax machine is the photocopier, and Lin Weiran, who has been waiting for almost an hour, does not lack that time.
The night breeze brings a rare coolness in summer, and the air is still filled with the smell of coffee, but the crowd next to Myeongdong Station is still not deserted. The lone figure of the man is accentuated by the pairs of couples, who stand on the side of the road with a briefcase, dressed in a suit and leather shoes as if the work is not over.
A Mercedes-Benz business car slowly stopped on the side of the road, and the man opened the door, first bowed slightly to the car, and then sat down.
"It's better to keep this kind of thing secretive, in this kind of public place where people come and go, I really don't know what you have in your head." Before Lin Weiran could speak, a familiar voice came from the co-pilot, and when the man turned around, it was Gu Huan's underbeaten face. …,
Guoda Hua Ha said with a smile: "It seems right to say this, Wei Ran, the place you picked is not very good." ”
Lin Weiran glared at Gu Huan fiercely, and then scratched his head and said, "Actually, I just think it's convenient to go back to the dormitory here and take the subway." ”
"What, are you worried that I won't even be able to send you back to the dormitory?" Guo Dahua asked softly, it sounded like a joke, but it made Lin Weiran listen to it in his heart.
He hurriedly said, "No, I just think it's good not to delay your time." ”
"Ha Luha, if you want to say that you are busy, you are more busy now, on the one hand, you have to familiarize yourself with the situation in the Shinhan advertisement, and on the other hand, you have to pursue girls, and the time is really short."
Guo Dahua's tone was like a bad friend, but the content of the words made Lin Weiran want to strangle Gu Huan to death, he scratched the back of Gu Huan's head fiercely, and then like a young boy, he listened to Guo Dahua's emotional nagging of the passer.
"It's not that I said, you Chinese are just too reserved. Korean girls are very enthusiastic, don't scare you when the time comes, we are a rare good man. ”
Good man? Hearing this word, Lin Weiran could always feel some strange smells. He poked Gu Huan's head with his finger and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Gu Huan is now one of the best investors under me, and I am ready to let him learn more from me." Guo Dahua replied for Gu Huan, "This kid has a good eye and a keen sense of smell, it seems that he has learned a lot in the past two years, and now he can be regarded as applying what he has learned." ”
Maybe the listener has a heart, Lin Weiran always feels that Guo Dahua is stimulating himself again and applying what he has learned, but he didn't get what Gu Huan gets, and he should inevitably feel the grievances in his heart, but Lin Weiran put on a posture of listening to the teachings on the surface, as if he had no complaints.
"Tell me about that girl, I really didn't expect me to be able to contribute to your karma, what the hell? Do you want to prepare your wedding present right now? "Guoda Hua's kind appearance really has the demeanor of a kind predecessor, but the word 'marriage' scared Lin Weiran's eyes widened, and he didn't even have a word about dating, so it's too far to say that marriage, right?
He said embarrassedly: "It's not that time yet, and it may not be her at that time." ”
"Because she's going to be a star?"
Gu Huan even said this? Lin Weiran's face tightened, and said: "There is also a relationship in this regard, and we don't know each other now." ”
"What does it matter if you don't understand, what do you like about her? Beautiful, in good shape, able to speak, or temperament? None of this is a problem, not in the presence of a powerful person. Guo Dahua restrained his smile and rarely became serious, "The strength that men need most is not on their faces, let alone their mouths, but on their hands and on the bed." If you have the strength, you can make her look like you like, anything! ”
He stared at Lin Weiran closely, and said, "Today you are in the position of a staff, tomorrow you may be in Gu Huan's position, what about the day after tomorrow?" Who can guarantee that you will never be in my place? It's your world now, and we, middle-aged people in our forties, are about to become useless old guys. ”
Lin Weiran listened silently, without sincere and fearful compliments, and there was only calm on his face. For a person of Guo Dahua's rank, hiding your ambition in front of him is almost equivalent to harboring evil intentions.
There was silence in the car for a while, and neither Gu Huan nor Guo Dahua spoke again. Lin Weiran knew that Gu Huan would definitely inform Guoda Hua Zhidao of some of his situation, which was not considered a betrayal, because if the two of them switched positions, he would also say what he knew. He saw that Guo Dahua was laying bait, it was for him, and it was also for Gu Huan.
This is another version of the wisher taking the bait, compared to Lin Weiran's, Guo Dahua is obviously several levels higher, and the opponents he faces are different, and the amount of this bait is also different, and only a fool would do this kind of thing if he wants to fish for whales with earthworms. is just like Lin Weiran's greed on the surface, but Guo Dahua is fishing for the ambition buried deep in his heart.
"Shinhan Advertisement, what's the news?"
Finally, Guoda Hua broke the silence and went straight to the point.
