Chapter 30: Big Brother Takes the Lead

As the days go by, invisible pressures gradually spread in the air day by day, but our young hearts are still full of passion.

Speaking of my heart, my personal attitude towards work is still full of seriousness, at least compared to most salesmen, I am still diligent. Although the basic salary is not high, I always feel that I have been here for a while, and I can't even say that I can't even talk about myself if I take other people's money every month and don't make some achievements. I don't want people to look down on me and say that I'm suspicious of taking advantage of the pit and not. I think it's the same for small businesses.

The notebook at hand is full of all kinds of information, and the advertising companies in other places are mainly active callers, and most of the direct customers are those who see their advertisements from other media and call them directly; In contrast, there are fewer local customers, because there is no need to do media covering the whole country, which is too expensive.

The first people to get in touch with me from other places were Tianjin Meijia Advertising Company and Beijing Sangxia Advertising Company, although they have not cooperated with me to achieve any specific business. Speaking of the first order of the local customer, this is really thanks to Xue Shemale, who helped me introduce a clothing company in Zhuzhou, and it is said that the newspapers and radio stations of this customer are also represented by Xue. The first live advertisement for a single column called "True Style" was only more than 60,000 yuan in total, which is really pitiful for satellite TV, but it has a special meaning for me. So I've always been very grateful to the customer of Fujian Eight Horses Shoes, after all, it's my first time!

Later, I made some special advertisements, which are the kind of advertisements that sell dog skin plasters during the day or late at night, which are the cheapest kinds, 1000 yuan/minute. In fact, most of the old salesmen disdain to do it or are too lazy to do it, but fortunately, I am the only new one in our department, and no one grabs leftovers with me, so I didn't starve to death. The monthly basic salary plus commission is about 3 or 4 thousand, and in 2000, for a young man who had just graduated, the so-called comparison was less than the top, and more than the bottom; Everyone in the group envies me, Huang Yue, Peng Yu, and Qian Cheng have none of them, and there are still zero eggs on the performance table after three months.

Don Juan's department is a female boss under the age of 40, she has always loved him, often takes care of him for some business, and manages the scale of the newspaper's business cannot be compared with television, but his life is quite bright. Some time ago, the new motorcycle was bought with a commission bonus.

Of course, we can't make a fortune with our current salary commission, Don Juan's parents urged him to get married, and Jiang Ruoli said that he must buy a house in Star City first, so Don Juan has recently found a new way to make a fortune, that is, to speculate in stocks.

For a while, our group became a stock investment group, and Don Juan was the "big brother". As a big brother, during this time, I still read a lot of books about the stock market, at least much harder than when I was studying secondary school before, through his nagging, we know the names of some forms, such as the old duck head, the east red sun rises, and the name of air refueling.

One day, when I met a "ladyboy" shopping with a woman outside a clothing store on the pedestrian street, he was still smiling brightly, still with dimples on his face, showing a row of neat teeth, not like a male and female lovers, but like a pair of "sisters". His femininity is getting more and more sufficient.

He asked me, do you still do TV? I said of course. He said that he is now working in print media, and has just hired the "Oriental Crystal Daily", as if he has also become a petty official, and is the person in charge of advertising for a special edition.

I asked him if he was still so comfortable with the mix, and as far as I know, starting a new newspaper was a bit stressful.

He said: "It's easy to do, it's not more difficult than the other two mainstream newspapers, and the marketing team under my new recruits is very large and very combative." ”

I smiled and wished him good luck, I guess he was making a fool of himself, maybe he was naturally optimistic or naïve.

His crowd tactics will not solve the problem at all, and will only add more chaos and bring higher costs to the market. When the enthusiasm of the newcomer is extinguished by the cold reality, when the newcomer becomes the old man in the blink of an eye, he can't turn again, he can only keep replenishing the newcomer, and barely maintain this lifeless body by absorbing their blood.

I suddenly felt that I was a little unfounded, this newspaper is not my family nor his, what the fuck am I doing.

A guy like Xue Rongrong should belong to the level of "old fritters", his survival in this industry no longer depends on hard work, but on "mixing", they rely on waiting for opportunities, and they will catch one and get a handful.

His lazy personality dictates that he can only eat loose food on the periphery of the circle, but perhaps as he said, he doesn't want to deceive customers too deliberately and cater to them. Generally speaking, he is the most authentic man I have ever seen in the advertising circle, pure, simple, and quite cute, "Good luck to him", I thought to myself.

I said, "I've seen Chengyi for a long time, do you still have news of her?" “

"No, I haven't been in touch for a long time, it seems that I went to the "Contemporary Business Daily", right?"

"A while ago, Chengyi seemed to call me, didn't she say that she went to "Cultural People's Daily" to be the director of the advertising department?" I'm still a little confused.

I still remember that she once met me and said to me: "Pull some advertisements to the "Cultural People's Daily", the return is preferential, I will give you the best price...... "I smiled noncommittally at the time.

It's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast.

I thought about introducing them to Don Juan, after all, they are all paper media in the newspaper office, and there should be a lot of communication between them.
