Chapter 485: Professional?

Joshua saw that Howard was actually selling Meng in front of Shen Yiyi now, and the feeling in his heart was really unbearable. So he also began to put a big move.

"Howard, you're not right. In fact, although you don't understand, you should take this opportunity to make up your mind to go back and learn Chinese well. He turned around and said to Shen Yiyi again, "Eve, it seems that you and Yvonne just spoke Hong Kong." I remember that Hong Kong is now Chinese, so it can be regarded as Chinese, right? ”

Joshua has been to Hong Kong, and he has a friend's father who is a "flower planter" of white descent, so he still knows a little bit about what Shen Yiyi and Zhu Eva said.

However, Shen Yiyi listened to his words one by one, and disagreed a little in his heart.

"Joshua, you're not right. Hong Kong has always been Chinese, but it was leased to Britain for a while. It's as if the property is owned by me, but given to a tenant at a super low price. Also, the language spoken in Hong Kong is a type of Chinese, that is, Cantonese. Cantonese is a language spoken in southern China. Politically it is called a dialect, but linguistically it is an independent language and even has its own writing system. So this place and this language has always been Chinese. ”

Chinese abroad, who do not know what the reason, will become more sensitive psychologically, that is, the so-called glass heart. Often a word that others unintentionally say will make people react greatly. Such a glass heart is embodied in the ethnic consciousness, which is often said by others to be "especially patriotic when abroad". But such a performance is not bad. It's just that sometimes it's easy to offend people.

Fortunately, Shen Yiyi is facing the two men who are currently in love with her. Men can sometimes become more generous under the influence of hormones, especially before they have achieved some purpose. They usually behave quite generously. So Joshua didn't show impatience with Shen Yiyi's lack of face. On the contrary, he nodded repeatedly: "Really? That's a new knowledge. Thank you for telling me this. I'll find out later. ”

Howard watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but scoff at Joshua's performance today. If his Chinese is good enough, he will definitely slander in his heart that Joshua is too faceless, is there still a trace of arrogance of the heir of the French aristocratic family?! However, if what Dear Miss Eve said certainly makes sense. Bowing down to the truth is also a necessary character for a gentleman, isn't it?

The four of them gathered in a circle, although everyone else could understand. But today, after all, is a networking event called a product launch. Therefore, there are still guests who attend the press conference to say hello to the host's family and say a few words. This is the norm in Western social circles. If the business of the Chinese is negotiated at the dinner table. In the English-speaking West, then, a lot of business is negotiated at cocktail parties. Although Shen Yiyi attended such a meeting for the first time, as a British drama controller and an American drama controller, she has seen such scenes many times in film and television works. Plus she has a little bit of a performative personality. So it's still very bearable for such a scene. In the eyes of the guests and sons who are here today, it is still a good evaluation.

Zhu Eva watched Shen Yiyi deal with it one by one, and secretly said to herself in her heart, it seems that the high-level children of the mainland are not like the red soil buns that Hong Kong people looked down on in the past. It's really going to be pulled into this kind of social situation. That's really no worse than the children of those Hong Kong giants. But that's right. In fact, many of the people who participated in the Red Revolution were also born in the incense family, and they were rebels from those families, and they were also well educated when they were young, but they were not necessarily born in mud.

Hong Kong people have a natural sense of superiority over mainlanders, which is actually the feeling that those who got rich first look down on their poor relatives. If China's economy takes off in the last decade or so, the gap in the economic environment will make some Hong Kong people perform more out of the ordinary. Of course, it is not that yet, but most Hong Kong people are still very polite to mainlanders. But there is a kind of alienation in this kind of politeness, and a condescending sense of charity. But Shen Yiyi is, after all, the identity of a family from a national leader is there. The more those who are high and low, the more they dare not behave too much in the face of this kind of oppression in the status hierarchy.

Zhu is a Hong Kong native, so this characteristic of Hong Kong people will also affect her attitude. But she was already a friend of Shen Yiyi. Friends still get along with each other with sincerity, and it cannot be said that she must behave like other Hong Kong people. But a certain concept or prejudice that she has cultivated since she was a child must have affected her, more or less.

Therefore, although she actually had a little resistance to Shen Yiyi's statement that Hong Kong has always been China, she did not speak out against it on the spot. In any case, in the eyes of these two handsome white guys, she and Shen Yiyi are both Asian, Chinese, and women, and if the two of them emphasize their differences too much at this time, it is not a smart behavior, and they let others look down on themselves in vain.

So Zhu Eva quickly brought the topic back to the details of the later stage of this product promotion. Sometimes hating a topic doesn't necessarily require a word of disapproval, does it? Not talking about this topic is another means of suppressing it.

"Eve, today's launch was a success, so I think we have to make some adjustments to our initial production and shipping plans." Zhu Yiwa took the time to say to Shen Yiyi in English, "I just made a rough calculation, and the intention orders we received have basically consumed all the goods we sent this time. And we're going to have a big advertising campaign ahead of us, and with that kind of additive effect, I think you should at least double the number of production and shipments. ”

Speaking of business, Howard on the side also became serious. Americans pay attention to work_hard and _play_hard. So they are still very comfortable switching between socializing and working.

"yes, Eve. I've just discussed it with Yvonne, and I've decided to increase our ad delivery budget by another half. Originally, we only wanted to advertise for cable channels, but now we should run them together on the three major TV networks. "Howard was the one who took control of this campaign. As a candidate for the heir to the Morgan family's wealthy ranks, he certainly has an absolute say in what currently seems to be the largest expense. Moreover, this arrangement, Shen Yiyi and Zhu Yiwa both feel that it is the most beneficial place for the project at this stage.

Television networks in the United States are divided into cable television and public television. Cable TV is actually similar to our satellite TV and professional channels on the cable network. The three major TVs correspond to the various live channels of China's CCTV. It's just that people don't call it the central one, the central two, or anything, but call it ABC, CBS, NBC. In fact, the old three stations in the Taiwan region during the 10,000-year Congress period were born out of this system of the United States. Of course, Lao Santai was actually the property of the skinhead party, and at that time it was largely the propaganda machine of the skinhead party.

Shen Yiyi thought for a moment. Although according to the cooperation agreement between the two parties, this time the product promotion, the two sides of the cooperation jointly funded, shared risks and shared benefits, but their understanding of the American market is still limited. She has a good habit of believing in professionalism and acknowledging professionalism. I am certainly unprofessional in this area, so one of the factors that determine whether I support Howard's plan is whether Howard himself is professional enough?

"Howard, did you study marketing in college?" Shen Yiyi suddenly asked?

Howard may not have been mentally prepared for Shen Yiyi's sudden question, so he paused for a moment.

Zhu Eva probably understood what Shen Yiyi meant. Chinese measure a person's ability to a large extent by his university diploma. For example, if you want to find an advertising talent, then first see if he studied this in college. In fact, this concept is not bad. To know whether this person is a professional or not, then the first professional person should be professionally trained, right? But in the West, there is a difference. Where can a highly practical subject like advertising be taught in school? Originally, people pay attention to creativity, and in school, only the content of the books is taught, if everyone only does things according to the set in the books, where will there be any creativity? Therefore, when recruiting people and looking for contractors in the West, they often pay attention to the fact that you have to provide a CV, which also provides detailed information about the reference_list you have done.

Seeing that Howard couldn't keep up with Shen Yiyi's Chinese thinking habits this time, Zhu Eva answered Shen Yiyi's question first: "Eve, Howard, he studied business_administration in college, and it's called business management." Most of the boys in the family learn this. So I know you're asking this to find out something. I think you can rest assured that Howard should have his own independent and trustworthy judgment.
