Chapter 242: Xiao Lotus shows his sharp corners again
Alan is a first-time visitor to China.
For a long time, as he learned more about the international market, he and his other two co-founders agreed that China was a huge market, if not inferior to the European market, so they wanted to visit China for a long time.
The whole company attaches great importance to this trip. Allen, as a Jiajia baby, personally led the team as the leader of the actual project team, and brought nine project team members in the project team, that is, the student members of the business school formed in the "old place" last time, to Guangzhou, China to do market research.
He heard Sha Nan Nan say that he wanted to go back to Shaocheng to see his girlfriend, so he generously approved it for two days. First, he values Shananan very much, and he can also understand the lovesickness of this Chinese young man in love, and secondly, it can also allow Shananan to understand the consumption situation in China's third- and fourth-tier cities by the way, which is not impossible.
Now that Shannan is returning to the team with his girlfriend, Allen also knew in advance, and when he heard Shannan's inquiry, he was not the slightest dissatisfied, but very happy. Because this is another way for him to get to know China closely, he will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to not only have direct contact, but also help team members feel warm and work in a happier state.
Shannan saw that Alan took the other eight members to sit down at the big round table where he and Yun Feng were, so after introducing Yun Feng and Allen to each other, he started a discussion between the team while drinking morning tea.
Yun Feng originally wanted to leave after breakfast, but seeing that Allen didn't seem to be taboo about her existence, she also privately whispered to ask for the opinion of Shannan next to her, and he also said that she could stay, so she sat down curiously, although they both spoke English, but for her, who had taught English to Shannan in college, there was no obstacle at all.
But she didn't say much, just sat quietly and well-behaved. Lin Hualei happened to sit opposite her, looking at her with eyes like a cold wind blowing through a knife, hiding uncontrollable coldness and arrogance.
Lin Ming has always liked beautiful women, and the moment he saw Yun Feng standing up and greeting everyone, his eyes still lit up, and he thought to himself, no wonder that kid from Shannan is like an ascetic in the United States, it seems that he does love vegetarianism, with such a fresh and tactful smart girl as his girlfriend, he naturally feels that other flowers are too vulgar to see.
The other team members in the room, like Shananang, focused on the discussion.
"N, do you think there are any characteristics of maternal and infant product consumption in China?"
After listening to everyone's exchange and discussion on the market research in and around the ongoing Spring Canton Fair after coming to Guangzhou, Allen thought about it, and actually looked at Yun Feng and asked questions in English.
Although Yun Feng's English is good, when he was a foreign teacher at work in college, he directly used his own name pinyin as his English name, and there was no additional English name, so Allen called her that.
Lin Hualei looked at her with another knife-like look, and she thought to herself, do you have to make it so deliberately different, and you don't even use an English name? But when he heard Allen's question, he felt that Yun Feng, a turtle history teacher who had never been abroad, had never studied business, and had done business practice, must not be able to say anything, so he skipped with a contemptuous expression waiting to see the joke.
Of course, Yun Feng could feel that Lin Hualei was unfriendly to him, but he really didn't care much about Lin Hualei's micro-expressions and cold eyes.
She sat next to Shanan, knowing that her boyfriend's heart was her own, so naturally she would not be stupid enough to compare what she had in her hands to what others didn't have, on the contrary, she actually felt pity for Lin Hualei in her heart, and felt that she was actually quite pitiful when she always begged like this. Therefore, she turned a blind eye to Lin Hualei.
"Well, Allen, I'm not in business, and I haven't done systematic research and too much contact with the consumption of maternal and infant products in China before. However, I can simply share with you what I have learned from my life. ”
Yun Feng replied modestly with a smile on his face.
"Oh, that's okay, we just want to hear from some real consumers."
Alan looked at her with encouragement in his eyes.
"My country is developing very fast now, I believe you can see it from the Spring Canton Fair in the past two days, but China has a large number of people, and its economic development has its own characteristics and different levels, which also determines the different characteristics of people's purchase and use of consumer goods. Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing are old first-line developed cities, with the deepening of reform and opening up, people's consumption is the same as Shenzhen, pay more attention to quality, and it is easier to accept new concepts and new things, for good quality foreign brands, their acceptance should be very high. “
Yun Feng paused and continued to say modestly:
"In the policy of reform and opening up in the rise of developed cities around the urban agglomeration, such as the Pearl River Delta Guangzhou and Shenzhen around Dongguan, Zhuhai and other similar satellite cities, the Yangtze River Delta Shanghai connected to Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou and other cities around the town, people's living standards have improved a lot compared with the past, the concept of consumption follows their surrounding big cities, driven by the quality of the big cities, and gradually has a consumption level close to the first-tier cities, the major provincial cities in the mainland are also developing rapidly, The acceptance of foreign brands has begun to rise, and in the third and fourth tier cities, the economy is developing, and people have begun to have the awareness of online consumption, but it is not very strong, mostly the consumption of high-quality and low-cost goods in the local market, and the rural areas are also dominated by high-quality and low-cost goods in local small shops or urban stores, and more attention is paid to price and reputation. “
Alan listened attentively, and even quickly jotted down some of the points she had mentioned in the little notebook he had with him.
"Very well, please continue."
Alan said.
"All in all, China is a huge market, people welcome high-quality, reasonably priced products, and both domestic and foreign goods will be more and more rational to choose according to their own life needs. I think this should be especially true for maternal and infant products, if your platform products enter these frontier cities in China at this time, it should be very marketable. But our Internet e-commerce is also surging, and the competition is also very fierce, depending on your product advantages and marketing strategies. But from a policy point of view, as long as we comply with our laws and regulations and provide high-quality and affordable products to meet our living needs, I think it should be very popular. “
After Yun Feng finished speaking with a smile, he didn't forget to turn his head to look at Sha Nantong, just in time to meet his smile full of surprise and approval.
He turned his head sideways and whispered quickly in her ear:
"Sure enough, it's Xiaohe."
Yun Feng lowered his head when he heard this, slightly shy, and smiled without saying a word. Xiaohe was given to her by Senior Brother Qiu Ze, the deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department of the school newspaper when she went to university, and she has used it to this day.
Now that he said this, it meant that he didn't embarrass him just now, and she couldn't help but purse her mouth and show a relaxed smile.
