Chapter 973: Don't be afraid of infamy
As long as you grasp it well and wholeheartedly do a good job in the sales of embroidery products that he has high hopes for, there is no possibility for you to get close to Guo Zhuocheng. Even if you can't achieve your most ideal goal and can't be intimate with him, at least you can see him a few more times and hear his words more, isn't it good?
Now she is becoming more and more unfamiliar with her motherland, and she has no sense of identity, except for thinking about her relatives, she no longer wants anything else in the country.
Thinking of her future life, she secretly vowed in her heart: "I must seize this opportunity!" Be sure to make him appreciate me and like me! ”
Guo Zhuocheng saw that Pan Lili was thinking deeply, and her mind seemed to drift away, so he had to cough to remind her. After her eyes fell on herself, ignoring the ashamed and excited expression on her face, he asked, "Tell me about your research on the embroidery market, have you given those embroidery products to professionals?" ”
Pan Lili was a little embarrassed, and was stunned for a while before replying seriously: "We invited some teachers from the art academy, as well as some noble ladies and rich ladies, and the response was not very good." ......, the teacher of the art college said that these embroideries have a certain ornamental value and a certain collection value, but the taste is not very high. Those ladies and rich ladies felt like these embroideries, some liked them very much, some were willing to buy them on the spot, some were disdainful, and some hesitated. ”
Guo Shucheng asked: "When embroidering, did anyone propose to put the embroidery in the art store to sell?" ”
Pan Lili replied while thinking: "Yes, someone did bring it up like this. One of the old ladies even offered to sell the embroidery at her husband's shop, but her shop was a small grocery store, and if she put it there, it would definitely not sell it at a good price. ”
Guo Zhuocheng asked again: "Did those teachers and ladies come up with any ideas, and did they have any ideas to promote this product?" ”
Pan Lili was about to speak, but Guo Zhuocheng immediately asked, "The women you summoned are all people with solid family backgrounds, right?" What a lady, a rich lady. ”
Pan Lili replied, "Yes." Only they could afford to buy something casual, purely decorative. Who else buys it? ”
"Not necessarily." Guo Zhuocheng finally knew why, he said with a smile, "If you all set your eyes on the rich, you will definitely fail." Because although these people are rich, they are relatively high in taste and more picky about art. Although the few embroideries I chose were all selected by me, after all, they were only embroidered by a mother and daughter of a family, and they did not go through strict training. There is also no training for the habits and appreciation of Westerners, which does not necessarily impress these people.
You might as well lower it to a point where ordinary workers, peasants, and even students can afford it, and let them hang it on the wall. Inlaid on furniture, transplanted on clothes, and not seen as high-end products, let alone high-end works of art. ”
Pan Lili was stunned for a moment and asked, "Think of them as an ordinary ornament?" Can anyone buy it? ”
Guo Shucheng nodded and said with a smile: "Hehe, that's it, it's very ordinary." ”
Pan Lili said: "We are all misled by you. Thought that what you came up with must be a good thing, and it must be going to make a lot of money. We believe that you will only do things that make a lot of money, and a business that doesn't make a lot of money. You're certainly not interested. You must know that we are going to order high-end fabrics and high-end frames for these embroideries. ”
Guo Zhuocheng smiled and said, "You still want to tell me what they have to say, right?" ”
Pan Lili said: "I noticed that there was a woman who said something, and I felt that it made sense after listening to it. Isn't the appreciation habit of Western countries different from that of us Orientals? We can't influence or even reverse their appreciation habits for the time being, but we can take a compromise approach that is to let them know and understand the benefits and features of our specialty products. When selling products, we print some beautiful brochures in advance, and comprehensively introduce the characteristics, characteristics, and production process of embroidery to customers. At the same time, it introduces the difficulties, key points, and the distinction of quality grades in embroidery. ”
Guo Zhuocheng's heart moved, and asked: "Is it to cultivate their interest and cultivate their appreciation of embroidery?" ”
Pan Lili nodded and said, "Well, that's the purpose." ”
Guo Zhuocheng said in agreement: "This idea is good. We can also make some videos that not only record the embroidery process, but also their beautiful environment, and record some of the local folklore and put it in the shop. There may be other benefits to doing so. ”
Pan Lili didn't know that Guo Zhuocheng's intention was to attract foreigners to seek excitement and beauty here. To attract foreigners to travel, he said: "This is better, as long as there is an aspect that arouses their interest, they will buy ** embroidery." ”
Guo Zhuocheng said: "Then this matter will be handed over to you." You can go to our island and talk to the locals about these things. After the investigation, we will write a planning report and we will discuss it. ……。 In addition, you buy a piece of good quality cloth and silk thread from outside, buy some good needles and some useful tools, and distribute them to those embroiderers with high embroidery skills. ”
Pan Lili was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Okay! I'll get ready right away, and I won't let you down. ”
……
After sending Pan Lili away, Guo Zhuocheng returned to his room and wrote a letter, and then beckoned the secretary Bian Liang to take it away, and instructed him to go back to Qionghai Island in advance, and arranged for him to contact Ye Zhang, the director of the Office of the Public Office, and asked him to take him to Chenghai County to find the girl named Meng Wei and ask her to write a material about embroidery methods. At the same time, he instructed Ye Zhang to arrange for the local chronicles of Chenghai County to write an article about embroidery, introducing the history, evolution, legends and folk tales of embroidery, and so on.
Soon after the secretary Bian Liang was ordered to leave, Princess Madeleine came in, and the two began to linger without saying anything, kissing and touching were naturally indispensable actions, and the two were also happy.
When the two were about to go deeper, they didn't expect Yuan Li to knock on the door and come in. This made both Guo Zhuocheng and Princess Madeleine a little depressed.
However, Yuan Li didn't come in to disturb their good things, she really had something to do.
When Yuan Li held a stack of essays in her hand, Princess Madeleine had to leave in a huff, and Guo Zhuocheng also calmed down to do things.
What Yuan Li wants to do is about the Phoenix Group's investment in the construction of a highway on Qionghai Island. Yuan Li has a little understanding of high-speed kilometers, but she is a little at a loss about how to recover the investment in expressways. She also knows that after the construction of the expressway, it will greatly promote the development of the local economy, whether it is the government or the private sector, whether it is ordinary people or enterprises, but it is difficult for investors to get relative benefits.
Yuan Li handed Guo Zhuocheng the simple investment plan prepared by the company's investment department, her face was a little unhappy, I don't know if she was unhappy because she went to Princess Madeleine's tryst here, or because of the tricky things in her hands.
She Guo Humble Cheng was careful about her information, so she said: "Humble Cheng, you said that we take the method of collecting tolls to recover the investment and obtain benefits, can this method work?" I didn't pay attention when you said it at first, but you said okay, and I completely agreed. However, when I called back to the company's investment department to tell the people about these situations, some people said that the investment method we adopted was improper, and there would definitely be people who would oppose us and someone who would object to our behavior, which would have a negative impact on our Phoenix Group and damage the social image of our company. I think it makes sense after listening to his analysis, so I want to ask you a suggestion, whether our profits and investment recovery can be provided or returned by the local government year by year, and it is really not good to collect road and bridge tolls, and it is really disgraceful to say it. ”
Guo Zhuocheng knew what Yuan Li meant: collecting bridge tolls was considered a lack of virtue in this era, and it had disappeared after liberation. Before liberation, only bandits and bullies would collect tolls for crossing roads and bridges, and "I planted this tree, I drove this road, and if you want to cross it from here, leave the money to buy the road" were all acts of gathering a crowd of rebels. People praise the people who build bridges and repair roads, and those who use their assets to build roads and bridges for the common people for free, and serious people will not do such a thing.
If Phoenix Machinery stands up and is the first to collect tolls, it will definitely become the object of scolding by the people, and it will definitely be pointed out by thousands of people. Now Phoenix machinery benefits are very good, can do a lot of business, whether it is the export of donkey head pumping unit or investment in large diesel units, it is a matter of glory for the country, the scenery is very good, the media are praised. And it is difficult to say whether investing in highways can make money, let alone earn high profits, and Yuan Li and her sisters have no need to be infamous for this.
However, Guo knows that collecting tolls is the only way for China's transportation development, and the donation of private individuals or enterprises cannot meet the needs of transportation development, and the state is simply unable to allocate too much money to develop transportation. Even in advanced capitalist countries, private sector investment, local government loans, investment is deposited to build transportation, and road and bridge tolls are collected to make a profit or repay loans.
Guo Zhuocheng, who was reborn, did not have a little mental obstacle to collecting road and bridge tolls, and took it for granted: your car walked on a smooth road, which is not only fast, safe and fuel-efficient, but also reduces vehicle wear and tear, reduces driver fatigue, and allows car owners to earn more profits.
He raised his eyes from the brief investment plan and said to Yuan Li with certainty: "Don't be afraid of infamy, it is completely necessary to properly collect road and bridge tolls, and it is also beneficial to the country and the people." ”
