"Sir, are you an invited guest? Can you show me the invitation? ”

As soon as I walked through the door, I saw a young woman come up to me, smiling.

I hurriedly opened my purse and pulled out one of the invitations.

This invitation letter was given to me by Chu Yin, and it contains my name and the name of the company.

Handing the invitation letter to the woman, the woman nodded, and she made a gesture of please: "Sir, you are welcome to come to this meeting, please take the invitation letter and go there to register, there will be a special person to give you a guest card, as long as you wear a guest card, you can freely enter and leave the conference site." ”

"Okay, thank you." I looked in the direction of the woman's guidance, and when I saw that there was a registration office, I hurriedly thanked him.

The woman had to entertain others, and she smiled at me, and I hurried to the registration office.

The registration went smoothly, and when you show the invitation, you will have a guest card, and there will be a name of the unit and me on it.

Yudie Company, Lin Nan!

I wore my badge around my neck and looked back and forth.

"Sir, the meeting time is ten o'clock, and now there are twenty minutes before the meeting starts, there is the pantry and the lounge, you can go there to rest, you can also go directly to the conference hall, there are signs." The registrar spoke.

"Good!" I nodded yes and walked over to the lounge.

When I came to the lounge, I saw several men and women in business attire, who looked up, perhaps because they didn't know me, and looked at my guest card.

The reverse side of my guest card was outward, and I couldn't confirm it, so after a few glances, they went around and chatted.

Grabbing a glass of water, I sat down in the lounge and began to take a closer look.

Giordano, seven wolves, red dragonflies...

Hey?

When I saw a middle-aged man's guest card, I was a little surprised.

In my impression, red dragonfly leather shoes are well-known all over the country, and they were particularly popular a long time ago, and I remember that there were many offline stores at that time.

The man was in his early fifties, meticulously dressed, and he held a handbag in his hand, while the others were talking, but he seemed a little lonely.

Zhou Kangyang, is this middle-aged man the CEO of this company?

I looked at the middle-aged man with some surprise, knowing that I used to buy leather shoes, and I used to buy the brand of Red Dragonfly, which is not only affordable to the people, but also very good quality.

When the middle-aged man saw that I was looking at him, he nodded politely to me and looked up at the time.

Because I was not far away, I saw that the middle-aged man was wearing an old-fashioned 'Shanghai watch' on his wrist, which was the earliest watch brand in the magic capital.

I hurriedly got up, came to the middle-aged man, and stretched out my hand.

"Y-Hello!" The middle-aged man spoke in surprise.

"My name is Lin Nan, from Yudie's company." I smiled, shook hands with the middle-aged man, and flipped over my guest card.

Seeing me flipping through the guest card, the others glanced at me, and the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Young man, you are a new company, right?" ”

"Yes, I know the name of your company, sir." I hurriedly said.

"You are the first to take the initiative to chat with me today, it seems that my old face has not really sunset." The middle-aged man smiled.

Hearing this, my brow furrowed, and at this time the middle-aged man continued: "You should be attending this meeting for the first time, do you smoke?" ”

"Pump." I nodded.

Soon, the middle-aged man smiled and took out a bag of Liqun, walked out of the lounge with me, and walked towards the door.

In the smoking area at the door, the middle-aged man handed me a cigarette and handed me a business card.

I took the business card and handed out my business card as well.

Zhou Kangyang, the CEO of Red Dragonfly Company, sure enough!

After a little cigarette, I said: "Mr. Zhou, I heard about your brand when I was a child, when I got married, the groom could wear red dragonfly leather shoes, which was quite face-saving." ”

"You're not kidding me, are you?" Zhou Kangyang took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile.

"Really, I've bought it too, and it's of good quality." I continued.

"Well, thank you for buying, but sometimes, a company will always face some ups and downs, back then, similar to this kind of symposium, I can still go on stage to say a few words, but now, I just come here to join in the fun." Zhou Kangyang said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by that?" I wondered.

"You're quite polite, then I'll call you Xiaolin." Zhou Kangyang looked at me with interest.

"I'm just a soy sauce maker, just a minority shareholder of the company." I said.

"Isn't it good, I'm your age, but I haven't mixed up with you?" Zhou Kangyang said with a smile.

"Sir, what are the ups and downs you just said?" I wondered.

"When you know our brand, it should have been a few years ago, when we had hundreds of direct stores across the country, but I was too confident at that time, and the company also wanted to go public, we offered shares, and franchisees were also proliferating, but with the rise of e-commerce, social media and live broadcast waiting for multiple platforms, the annual financial statements and sales of offline physical stores have seen a series of declines, and we have to close dozens of stores every year to reduce losses, because of losses year after year, and the popularity in the industry has begun to decline, Anyway, it's good to be able to barely maintain it over the years. Zhou Kangyang looked back and forth, and then said softly.

"So that's the case, but what about now?" I asked.

"Now, of course, the transformation is accelerating." Zhou Kangyang said with a smile.

"Oh?" I have an eyebrow.

"In addition to the construction of online channels, we will focus on promoting new brands and new businesses." Zhou Kangyang continued.

"Well, I believe it can be successful, and many of our domestic brands have been rising in the past two years." I nodded.

"What you see is only the part that is rising and rising, and the companies that have really fallen, and there are a lot of them in Zhejiang Province alone." Zhou Kangyang said with a smile.

This cigarette work, I found that chatting with Zhou Kangyang benefited a lot, he has walked a lot of roads that I have not walked, it can be said that he can still have momentum at this stage is extremely rare, although it is only a few words, but I admire him very much.

"What about you, how is your company?" Zhou Kangyang looked at me.

"It's not bad for the time being, in addition to going to the distributor offline, we are to establish the brand power of the online brand direct store, and we also have some cooperation." I said.

"Remember, don't think about going public and expanding quickly, don't have too many offline stores." Zhou Kangyang continued.

"Okay, I remember!" I spoke cautiously.

"Refined new retail model and brand communication are the key." Zhou Kangyang continued.

"Hmm." I nodded heavily.

"I'll give you a reminder that you've bought our shoes." Zhou Kangyang finished smoking a cigarette and patted me on the shoulder.

Watching Zhou Kangyang walk into the door in a few steps, I pursed my lips, and my brain began to digest the advice he gave, maybe it was his reminder to me, some advice to my junior.

This world is like this, when a person is beautiful, then he will be sought after by tens of thousands of people, and once he sees this person down, or has a tendency to be down, then there will be another attitude, but in my opinion, whether it is successful or not, old entrepreneurs like Zhou Kangyang, our younger generation should be respected.

Just as I was thinking about this, at this moment, an extended Lincoln drove in, and then the back door opened, and a middle-aged man in a Tang suit came down.

"It's President Wan!"

"Mr. Wan!"

Under the sound of words, the middle-aged man who was called President Wan showed a smile, as if the big leader was coming in person.
