Chapter 486: New Members
Howard realized that Shen Yiyi was questioning his professional level. This made him faintly angry and frustrated. As the most respected and optimistic young generation in Morgan's family, he is known as the golden boy of business. Even this time, when he came to take charge of the project with Zhu Eva, he was nominally punished by his family. However, this punishment is not due to his own business mistakes or investment mistakes. More of this punishment is just a punishment for one's own gaffe words and deeds.
And today, this little girl from Red China, although she has a little affection for her, how can she question her professional level? Is this the biggest insult to yourself?
Howard, who had never been questioned like this, was a little psychologically unable to stand such treatment, and his face was a little faintly blue.
Shen Yiyi saw Howard's face change, and he couldn't help but reflect on the question he had just asked. Did you ask a very excessive question? Or is this a problem of a reverse scale on the body of a proud son like Howard? But this question is very important to you?!
Shen Yiyi hesitated for a moment, deciding to explain the intention of his question a little.
"That...... Howard, just to prevent you from misunderstanding my question, let me explain a little. Although you are now a member of the Morgan family, you should not forget that the contract we signed is not signed in the name of the Morgan family, but only a newly established offshore company. The company is not directly related to the Morgan family financially or operationally. So as the financial director of this company, shouldn't you introduce yourself to the owner in detail when you take on a new business? You are a child of such a family. Shouldn't we be well prepared for such a question? ”
Shen Yiyi's explanation is still very skillful. She basically used this method to rationalize her somewhat "retarded" questions. The problem is that such "sophistry" Howard is still acceptable.
Indeed, this time, Howard and Zhu Eva were sent out by the Morgan family to go through a test after all. Such a test will certainly not be carried out with the full resources of the Morgan family. In this case, the two of them represent a completely new company. And the new company has to open up the market. Of course, it is necessary to introduce the company to customers in detail. This has nothing to do with being looked down upon, it's just a business convention.
Even Howard himself has begun to blame himself for the fuss.
Thinking of this, Howard also took out his motivation to participate in the interview and introduced his situation to Shen Yiyi one by one.
"I've been in charge of more than a dozen promotional projects of more than $30 million in my family's company, and I have good relationships with all the major media outlets in the country. The average goal achievement rate of the projects we promote is above 90%. And this time, our initial advertising budget was $20 million, and half of it was only $30 million. I felt that I had the experience to ensure the smooth implementation of the advertising plan for this project. ”
Although there is no PPT and projector prepared. But Howard's confident tone and persuasive body movements at this time are quite handsome. Shen Yiyi thought in his heart that it would be good to block it.
Therefore, Shen Yiyi nodded to Howard: "Howard, I personally agree to your proposal. You can increase your ad delivery budget by half. However, I still hope that you will prepare your change plan in writing and submit it to the Board of Directors for implementation after obtaining a resolution from the Board of Directors. ”
Shen Yiyi's suggestion is also a matter of course. Most of the successful companies are those with good internal rules. The attribution of approval power is an important aspect of corporate governance. Don't think that only Chinese companies talk about approval. Companies in the West also have approvals. It's just the name of a board resolution.
Since Shen Yiyi said it all reasonably. Well, of course, Howard wouldn't have a problem. He nodded, "That's as it should be." I'm just here today to mention it to you. When I do this, I will prepare a more detailed report for you. ”
The three of them are here discussing the balance bike, which makes Joshua feel a little out of place. After all, this project is a collaboration between Shen Yiyi and Morgan's family. Joshua himself was not involved in the project. But Joshua didn't like the feeling of being left out. He wondered if he should be involved. If nothing else, just saying that his goddess is the initiator of this project, he feels that he should give strong support with his own actions.
Of course, don't think that this is a stupid second ancestor who "smiles a daughter". Joshua had seen the performance at the launch of the balance bike before. As a child who was also nurtured in a business family. At the same time, Joshua is also a master of all kinds of fun, and Joshua certainly knows what kind of sensation this product will cause among young people like herself. So. It was easy for him to conclude that it was a lucrative project. In this case, he can make money and buy that person's heart, what else is he hesitating about?
So Joshua chimed in and said, "Eve, Yvonne and Howard, how about giving me the European agency for this product?" He knew the purpose of this project, and it was unlikely that he would get the same share as Shen Yiyi and the Morgan family. So he resigned to asking to be an agent distributor.
Of course, Shen Yiyi and his friends will not have any opinions. The Chinese all say that "everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high". With one more powerful distributor, the more likely the product is to create a bigger sensation. This kind of thing is a good thing no matter how you look at it.
However, Howard showed his shrewd side again at this time: "Joshua, of course we welcome you to join. But I don't think I can give you any special treatment. After all, this is the first time that our company has launched a new product independently. We must have consistent standards for all our distribution agents. So you still have to go back and prepare all the materials according to the list listed in our invitation letter. We will strictly follow our published plan to select the most powerful distributors. I wish you success. ”
Howard is currently one of the key executives at the project company and is in charge of marketing. He certainly has enough right to speak on behalf of Shen Yiyi and Zhu Yiwa on this issue. So Joshua also knows that Howard's opinion is the final opinion. He didn't have any opinion on this, and promised on the spot that he would let people prepare materials according to the list when he went back.
Shen Yi looked at Howard's businesslike attitude, and he still appreciated it in his heart. She thinks it also reflects Howard's mindset that he really wants to make the product right. An excellent enterprise certainly needs innovation, but it also needs a disciplined style. Because only the awareness of abiding by the rules can it be possible to keep the quality commitment to customers, and it is also possible to go further in the market.
One of the big problems with Western-style business banquets is that people get tired easily. Because all the people are actually standing in the arena with wine glasses in their hands. Shen Yiyi was wearing high heels, and after standing for a long time, he was still very tired, and his heels also had a faint pain. At this time, she thought about why Chinese like to talk about things at the dinner table so much. In addition to being a foodie nation, in fact, it is because we are a nation that can be lazy. In fact, many people are willing to live a life of "not standing if they can sit, and not sitting if they can lie down" when they have the right to choose. Of course, such a preference is not good. You don't see that our businessmen are all "full of brains", but many businessmen in the English-speaking world still maintain a good posture.
Not only Shen Yiyi, but Zhu Eva has also been standing for a long time, and her feet and stomach are a little sore. But she was the best actress of the day, and she had just finished a good performance, and the satisfaction and excitement in her heart made her have no time to take care of her feet.
Shen Yiyi stayed for a while, deciding that he was still not guilty. She is actually a guest today, not the first heroine, so she really doesn't need to be the host of the banquet from beginning to end. Let Zhu Eva perform this role herself. She leaned into Zhueva's ear and whispered to her, "Yvonne, I'll go back to my room first." Standing now, my leg is dying of pain. ”
The same girl, Zhu Eva, who could feel the tiredness of wearing high heels, nodded: "You go." I had to make it to the end. Go back and take a dip in the bathtub with hot water. Otherwise, you will suffer a great sin tomorrow. ”
Shen Yi nodded. She also turned her head to say goodbye to the two men who had been surrounding her. Of course, the reason for leaving is also to tell the truth.
Although they have never worn high heels, Howard and Joshua, who have had a lot of girlfriends when they are young and have a lot of girlfriends, naturally know how serious the high heels that girls wear for beauty actually hurt their feet. They actually sympathized with Shen Yiyi's pain a little. So they didn't force Shen Yiyi to stay at the dinner party, but let Shen Yiyi go back to the room to rest without having to force it.
