Chapter 406: Director He
After communicating with Liu Xiaoxiao, Lai Xiaohu understood that the problem she encountered was nothing more than that on the one hand, she couldn't find a relationship, and on the other hand, she was unwilling to pay higher advertising fees, especially after the cost tripled, Liu Xiaoxiao was even more unwilling.
"Boss, don't you know that the director of the advertising department is so hateful, it looks like he is a villain." In front of Lai Xiaohu, Liu Xiaoxiao complained.
Looking at Liu Xiaoxiao's beauty, Lai Xiaohu smiled a little helplessly. A stunner like Liu Xiaoxiao is indeed quite attractive, but Liu Xiaoxiao himself is in a high position, and the money he earns can't be spent, so others don't want to tempt Liu Xiaoxiao. Obviously, Lai Xiaohu guessed that there was a third way for Liu Xiaoxiao at that time, but that road was decisively rejected by Liu Xiaoxiao.
"Well, you can't get angry with that kind of person." Lai Xiaohu comforted.
"By the way, boss, don't you have a good relationship with many big officials, why don't you find a relationship? When the time comes, it will be seen that they will not be able to advertise with us. After that, Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly said to Lai Xiaohu. Lai Xiaohu has a good relationship with many officials, which is no secret within the Lejia supermarket. It's just that for Liu Xiaoxiao's suggestion, Lai Xiaohu doesn't plan to really do that.
If you are looking for a relationship, whether Lai Xiaohu is looking for Li Gan or Shi Lei, it is estimated that he will be able to get this matter done. If people can get to this position, the network on it must be heavenly, and this trivial matter is estimated to be nothing for these two people. But if he really came forward to them, Lai Xiaohu felt that it was really a bit of a fuss and anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes. And he seems to be particularly incapable. You know what to do and find a relationship. It's not a very necessary thing, and Lai Xiaohu really doesn't want to trouble others.
"Well, you give me that person's contact information, and I'll go find him myself." After thinking about it, Lai Xiaohu said. Don't look for relationships. Then you can only take the money and smash it. Although the advertising cost is more than twice as much, Lai Xiaohu doesn't care, and everything that can be done with money is not a thing. And although there is a lot of advertising expenses, compared with the income, this is still more than the expenditure is still earned.
On the same day, Lai Xiaohu and Liu Xiaoxiao rushed to the capital by intercity train from Jincheng, and the two found a hotel to stay for one night. The next morning, Lai Xiaohu took the contact information he asked for from Liu Xiaoxiao and went to contact the person in charge of the advertising department in person.
"Director He, hello. Hello. In the other party's office, Lai Xiaohu met Director He, who was disgusted by Liu Xiaoxiao, as scheduled. Seeing the other party's appearance, Lai Xiaohu could understand Liu Xiaoxiao's mood. An old man who looked to be in his fifties. Not to mention being shorter, but the key is that you are still bald and fat. Look at that look, and when you laugh, you feel disgusted when you look at it. Such a person is still interested in Liu Xiaoxiao, and it is estimated that Liu Xiaoxiao will feel vomit when he thinks of this in the future.
But on the surface. Lai Xiaohu still shook hands with the other party with a smile on his face. And our Director He didn't mean to embarrass Lai Xiaohu. Otherwise, the other party would not have asked Lai Xiaohu to come to see him after making a phone call. The current position of the person is not too big or small, and there are many ways to manipulate people.
Although it is a pity that I was not able to touch Liu Xiaoxiao, after all, there are not many women like Liu Xiaoxiao who are so beautiful and are also high-ranking officials of large companies. But no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is slightly inferior in front of money, and when she thinks of the advertising fees that Lejia Supermarket may have to pay and the benefits she can get, to hell with all Liu Xiaoxiao.
For this Lejia supermarket, Director He is quite familiar. Because their family is an old customer of Lejia Supermarket, and he is quite convinced of the strength of Lejia Supermarket, presumably this advertising fee is not a problem.
"Director He. I'm here for this advertisement. Koyanagi may be ignorant and make you angry, but my visit this time represents the greatest sincerity of our company. So this time, Director He must give priority to our ads. "Sit across from Director He. Lai Xiaohu said earnestly.
"It's easy to say anything about advertising, but this advertising fee?" Later, Director He said a little uneasy, "Are you willing to pay three times the advertising fee or not?" ”
"Yes, naturally, I am willing." Lai Xiaohu said categorically, "But, Director He, you see that if we really make that contract, it's a big contract, why don't we have to find a place to have a good chat, right?" ”
After glancing at Lai Xiaohu twice, and seeing something from the smile on Lai Xiaohu's face, Director He said a little embarrassed: "This, this?" ”
"Director He doesn't want this, let's just say it. You can decide the location for tonight, there is no limit to the location in the whole capital, and there is no restriction on anything. Seeing that the other party wanted to be a bitch, Lai Xiaohu didn't give the other party time to react, and directly decided it.
As soon as Lai Xiaohu said this, the other party didn't say anything anymore, and pretended to be embarrassed to agree. Then the two sides chatted for a few minutes, Lai Xiaohu got up and said goodbye, Lai Xiaohu did not forget to give the other party a VIP card of Lejia supermarket, take this card to Lejia supermarket to shop and enjoy high discounts, and this card is not only Lai Xiaohu let the company make it temporarily yesterday, but also the first one he has ever sent out.
After Lai Xiaohu left, Director He looked at the VIP card in his hand, which read the serial number of 001, Lai Xiaohu had just told the other party that this was a VIP card customized for him, and there was only one in Quanlejia Supermarket. A card made Director He very satisfied with his noble status, of course, he was more satisfied with the 50% discount on shopping in Lejia supermarket in the future, which was a lot of money.
For the evening, Director He seemed to be looking forward to it even more.
After going out, Lai Xiaohu returned to the hotel to meet Liu Xiaoxiao. "You didn't go out for a walk either?" Seeing that Liu Xiaoxiao had been staying in the hotel, Lai Xiaohu asked.
"No, it's so boring to spin alone." Liu Xiaoxiao looked at Lai Xiaohu and said, "If you are willing to accompany the boss, then I am very interested in going out for a spin." ”
"Then I'm tired. Let's rest at the hotel. After Liu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Lai Xiaohu immediately said. Then he got up and went out to his room.
As for Liu Xiaoxiao behind him, looking at Lai Xiaohu who went out, he had a feeling that his treacherous plan had succeeded, and it was not easy to make Lai Xiaohu deflated. But after Lai Xiaohu left. Liu Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly thought: "I should also find a boyfriend, otherwise the family still doesn't know what to do?" ”
said that he was resting in the hotel, but in fact, Lai Xiaohu just went back to the house and changed his clothes and went out. Finally came to the capital, and Lai Xiaohu wanted to go to a few stores in the capital.
Since it was noon and the weather was extremely hot, there were not too many customers in the store, and most of them were reluctant to brave the heat. This kind of business situation is normal, and Lai Xiaohu is not dissatisfied. Now there are fewer people, and when the weather is colder, there will definitely be more. What makes him more satisfied is that the overall condition of the store is very good, not only the store is clean and tidy, but also the spirit of the store is also very high. This time, Lai Xiaohu came suddenly. I didn't notify anyone before, so it was a surprise inspection. In this case, the fast installation of several stores can still reflect their real situation.
After waiting for a few stores to turn, Lai Xiaohu returned to the hotel again, but Liu Xiaoxiao was not there this time. Earlier, she called Lai Xiaohu and said that she had gone out to meet the director of the advertising department of a media outlet.
Go back to the hotel and rest for a while. Lai Xiaohu received a text message from Director He, which stated the place and time set by Director He to go tonight. Lai Xiaohu did not set the location by himself, the purpose was to reassure the other party, and at least Director He would feel more secure in his heart if the location was set by the other party.
After that, Lai Xiaohu hurriedly found a taxi outside the hotel and rushed to the place set by Director He. The location is very far away, and it took Lai Xiaohu nearly an hour to arrive by car. After arriving at the place, Lai Xiaohu looked around and couldn't recognize what kind of place this was, the sky had already darkened, and with the slight moonlight, Lai Xiaohu could roughly determine that this should be halfway up a certain mountain. And there was a large open space not far in front of the place where he got off, and as he walked inside, Lai Xiaohu saw the place notified by Director He's text message.
It is a guild hall hidden in the middle of the mountain, and from the outside, this guild hall looks very temperamental. And it looks very elegant in such an environment.
But when he got inside, Lai Xiaohu found that it was not the case at all. Not to mention the luxurious decoration inside. But no matter how Lai Xiaohu looks at it, he feels that there is a bit of a club here, and everyone knows what the club is, and it is still different from the guild hall.
"Director He, this place is really a good place." After seeing Director He, Lai Xiaohu couldn't help but praise this place. It is indeed good to build a guild hall halfway up the mountain, and the owner behind this guild must not be simple, otherwise it would not have been possible to do this.
"A good place is a good place, but it's not easy to get in." After pulling Lai Xiaohu in, Director He said: "Outsiders can't enter this place, every newcomer must be led by an old man to come in, and only after entering here many times can newcomers have the qualification to enter independently." But if you want to stay with outsiders like me, you need to continue to work hard to gain a higher level of trust. While talking about Director He, he couldn't help but show off to Lai Xiaohu.
"No wonder this hall can't hear any movement outside, it's so low-key and secretive." Hearing this, Lai Xiaohu couldn't help but say. If nothing else, this system is quite strict.
"Do you know what the most attractive thing about this hall is," Director He showed off, "Auction." ”
Auctions, as the name suggests, are places to auction things, and if people can also count as a thing, then the auction here is also worthy of its name.
Follow Director He through the luxurious corridor and into a downward elevator, and soon Lai Xiaohu appeared in an underground hall. In the middle of this hall is a huge stage on which dance performances are taking place. Surrounding the entire stage is a circle of private rooms and seats divided into upper, middle and lower floors.
"Come, I'll tell you about this hall." The proud Director He pulled Lai Xiaohu down in a seat, and then told Lai Xiaohu what he knew about this hall.
And after listening to his description, at least Lai Xiaohu was sure of one thing, that is, this is really a guild hall. Guild halls also have a long history in China. However, it really began to appear in large numbers and was driven by those big businessmen in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Since ancient times, the main concentration of guild halls has been in the capital. As the capital city for hundreds of years, it has been home to countless merchants from all over the country. Where there are businessmen gathered, there will be competition, and there will also be huddles. So according to the division of regions. These businessmen from different places began to slowly form a group.
For example, the more famous Jin merchants in China, the merchants from Jin Province in the Ming and Qing dynasties, in order to effectively unite, they set up guild halls in some convenient and lively places in the capital. The purpose of this guild hall is to serve as a gathering place for these merchants from the same place.
The role of the guild hall is obvious. When new businessmen come from their hometown, they can rest here, and they will feel more at ease because it is a guild hall run by their hometown. And through this hometown people's hall, they can also learn some news about the capital, which is convenient for them to integrate into the business circle of the capital.
And the businessmen who have already come to the capital also like to gather in the hall from time to time. Let's make their comments on the big events in the mall, exchange ideas, and exchange news. Then if there is any disaster, let's discuss the countermeasures together.
The role of the guild hall is to provide a place for merchants from the same place to meet. And today, Lai Xiaohu and the others came to this guild hall are actually doing similar business in essence.
This guild hall also provided a gathering place for merchants from the same place, but unlike the previous guild hall, it was not a single guild hall divided by geography, such as the Jin Chamber of Commerce, which only accepted Jin merchants. What makes this hall different is that it accommodates merchants from all provinces of the country. Of course, this guild did not allow merchants from different parts of the country to stand together. It is also divided according to the situation of the region.
According to this Director He. There are also more than 30 branches in this hall, and these branches are completely divided by geographical situation, and there is no other difference from the previous hall. Like the Jin Chamber of Commerce, Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, etc., there are all in it.
"Hey, that's a good idea." Director He said this, and Lai Xiaohu couldn't help but praise, "It's definitely a good idea to gather different guild halls in the same place." ”
The existence of branch libraries provides the role of traditional guilds, and these guilds are separate from each other, and everyone does not influence each other. But when these halls are brought together. In addition to gathering with fellow villagers, you can also communicate with businessmen from other places. Everyone is Chinese, can this be regarded as a Chinese guild? In particular, if this kind of hall is set up in a foreign country, it is estimated that the effect will be even better.
If it had been placed in the past, it is estimated that this assumption would not have worked. Because in the past, especially in ancient times, people at that time had a serious sense of region, and their hatred of people from other regions was also more serious, so it was probably impossible for everyone to communicate together at that time.
"To be so bold, I really want to see the owner of this hall." Lai Xiaohu thought in his heart.
I heard Director He say that there are a lot of people coming and going in this hall. And its success is nothing more than a few things in Lai Xiaohu's view. The most important thing is naturally the energy of the owner of the guild hall, without the background of the sky, this guild hall will definitely not be able to run. With the background, this hall can exist safely, so that everyone can communicate and play here at ease, and the first batch of guests will be gathered through private relationships to open up the situation.
Secondly, the fact that this hall was built on the mountainside is also quite successful. The establishment of a guild hall in this place immediately improved the level of the entire guild hall, and the beautiful surrounding environment is also very attractive to people. As for transportation, it is not a problem in today's era.
In addition to these, the other services that the guild can provide also play a huge role in retaining those merchants. For example, the entertainment aspect of this hall. After Lai Xiaohu came in before, he felt that the decoration of some places in this hall seemed to be the same as that of the club, and these were the entertainment places of this hall.
Let's go back to the auction that Director He said before. The stage in front of them is where the auction will be held. In normal times, there will be some entertainment performances on this stage, such as inviting some singers to give a concert, or other music, singing and dancing performances. Of course, those who can be invited here are those stars who have great fame in the country or the world.
These shows are all appetizing for everyone, and the real show is the auction. And the auction also surprised Lai Xiaohu, it turned out to be people, and all of them were unbudding beauties.
When Director He told Lai Xiaohu this, he couldn't close his mouth in surprise. "That's too bold, isn't it?" Lai Xiaohu said. It's nothing if you open a club to organize a young lady or something, it's very common all over the country, but in this era, you still dare to send these women to the auction, which is simply nothing to do, and you will definitely be scolded to death by the people of the whole country when something happens. At that time, it is estimated that no matter how big the background is, it will be finished.
And when the auction takes place, the other programs will have to give way to the auction. Auctions are not held every day, but are normally held only once a month, and when there is a particularly major festival, it will be increased appropriately, and it can only be held fifteen or six times a year.
