Chapter 319: The Gambling Contract
The next day, I got up early in the morning, and Zhou Zhaokun, who was with me, got up earlier. He asked me if I wanted to go back to Xitang with him. I remembered that today Mi Cai will arrange for Chen Jingming and Jian Wei to meet, so I temporarily gave up the plan to return to Xitang.
Before leaving, Zhou Zhaokun talked to me again about Le Yao, and he asked me: "Do you know when Le Yao will return to Xitang or Suzhou next time?"
"I should go back to Suzhou soon, because I plan to talk to her about taking over the bar."
"Oh, then next time she comes back, remember to inform me that I want to treat her to a meal."
"I think you talked for a long time last time. Didn't you ask for contact information with her?"
Zhou Zhaokun shook his head and said, "No, that was our first time chatting. I don't want to be so presumptuous. There will always be a chance to meet again."
His answer surprised me very much. After all, even the boy knew how to find Le Yao's contact from my phone, and he seemed too gentlemanly. Perhaps this was related to his innate literary personality.
I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll notify you when she returns to Suzhou next time."
Zhou Zhaokun expressed his gratitude to me and said sincerely: "Actually, I love her very much. I have been there since the first sight. This feeling is so rare for me!"
I smiled and said, "As a bystander, I can see it, but..."
"But are you afraid that I am an unreliable person?"
"It is undeniable that men with good material conditions are more likely to shake emotionally than ordinary men. Le Yao is a person in the entertainment industry, and her parents have been divorced since childhood. In terms of emotions, she needs to be protected rather than hurt. Do you understand?"
Zhou Zhaokun nodded and said, "In fact, I can see her fragility under her strong appearance...I admit that I am very rich, but this should not be an obstacle to my pursuit of true love. It is too unfair to me, and I have never been moved by any secular women! She is an exception because I think she is a pure woman in a secular environment. Although she is in the entertainment industry, there are exceptions in everything, and being rich doesn't necessarily mean being fickle, right?"
I couldn't refute Zhou Zhaokun's words, but a subtle feeling arose in my heart. I just felt that I was not the man who knew how to appreciate Le Yao, but this does not mean that this woman was misled by Mi Cai or Jian Wei. In the eyes of others, she was also a woman in the sky city, which made people full of imagination. When I think about it carefully, this is the subtle relationship between people. Even if Zhou Zhaokun had seen that beautiful and unreal woman in red and Mi Cai, it was only Le Yao that moved him.
I finally nodded and agreed with Zhou Zhaokun's words. If he could really treat Le Yao as a woman in the Sky City, it would be a good destination for Le Yao. So far, saying goodbye to the struggles and right and wrong in the entertainment industry. However, this time, the interaction of force has not been reflected in Le Yao. She has never felt that love for Zhou Zhaokun at first sight, so this destined that Zhou Zhaokun is about to embark on the road of the Long March and then wait for the result after falling in love at first sight.
Before we could have breakfast together, Zhou Zhaokun left Suzhou, and I remembered that I had agreed to him yesterday that we would eat in the restaurant that brought literature and art to the extreme. But both of us had forgotten it. But it was nothing. In his words, there would always be a chance, so I would just make up for this meal when Le Yao returns to Suzhou next time.
......
At about nine o'clock in the morning, I received a call from Chen Jingming, who asked me to take him to Jian Wei's advertising company. We made an appointment to meet downstairs of Zhuomei. Then I got into his car and drove to Jian Wei's advertising company under my guidance.
On the way, I gave a rough introduction to Chen Jingming about Jian Wei's background. He also said that he had heard of Jian Wei's father Jian Boyu's reputation in the advertising and public relations industry, and choosing to cooperate with Jian Wei was a wise move.
Twenty minutes later, we came to Jian Wei's "Simei Advertising". I, who was familiar with the journey, led Chen Jingming directly into Jian Wei's office without the guidance of the staff.
At this time, Jian Wei was sitting in the office eating breakfast, holding a milk bottle in one hand and a piece of unfinished tiramisu in the other. When she suddenly saw us coming, she was a little embarrassed. She put down the milk bottle and food in her hand, wiped her hands with a tissue, and then looked at me with an unhappy expression.
I said apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't expect you to be eating and forgot to knock on the door!"
"When can you change your casual problem?"
"What President Jian taught me is... By the way, let me introduce you to me. The one next to me is Chen Jingming, the executive vice president of Zhuomei, and is also my old boss. He is here to speak with you on behalf of President Mi to discuss public relations cooperation." After that, he turned to Chen Jingming and said: "The one who just held a milk bottle in his hand and a tiramisu in his hand is President Jian, who is a rising star in the advertising industry!"
Chen Jingming, who abides by workplace etiquette, stretched out his hand to Jian Wei. Jian Wei also got up and held his hand to show respect, but she took the time to glar at me, obviously dissatisfied with the introduction I just introduced to her. In fact, I didn't want to tease her, but I just didn't want the atmosphere of negotiation to be too solemn. After all, the public relations crisis that I was about to face was already heavy enough.
After Chen Jingming and I sat down, the business talks began. Chen Jingming asked Jian Wei sincerely: "I wonder what Mr. Jian has to pay for this cooperation?"
Jian Wei seemed to be prepared and said to Chen Jingming: "I don't need financial rewards for this cooperation."
This answer surprised Chen Jingming. After looking at me, he asked in confusion: "Mr. Jian, how do you explain this?"
"Because I have a crush on the two billboard resources of Zhuomei North Gate, I heard that it will expire next month. I hope Mr. Mi can use the three-year operating rights of these two billboards to offset the cooperation remuneration this time."
Chen Jingming immediately looked embarrassed and said for a long time: "Mr. Jian, you are an insider in the industry and must be aware of the commercial value of these two advertising spaces in Beimen."
Jian Wei replied calmly: "Of course I know that these two advertising spaces can be said to be the most gold advertising space in the city center. Any of them will be sold separately for at least 800,000 yuan a year."
I was shocked immediately. If we calculate the price of 800,000 yuan per advertising space per year, two yuan and three years will be 4.8 million yuan. If it floats slightly, it will be a huge amount of 5 million yuan. Jian Wei is really a little bit talking this time! But it just shows that this cooperation does not involve any personal emotions, so she put forward this requirement. After all, the most scarce thing about her advertising company at this stage is such gold advertising resources. She is indeed a strategic operator.
After a while of silence, Chen Jingming finally said: "I need to discuss this with Mr. Mi. I have no authority to make such a decision for her, because the amount involved is too high, and no advertising company in the industry will charge such a high PR service fee!"
Jian Wei spread her hands and said, "Is the 5 million PR service cost very high?"
Chen Jingming nodded seriously and said, "It's really high... Of course, you have to be 100% sure to solve the possible public relations crisis. That 5 million is nothing to Mi in general."
I immediately admire Chen Jingming's negotiation experience. No wonder Mi Cai entrusted him with important tasks. In just one sentence, he reversed his passive situation in the negotiation and left the problem to Jian Wei. Now it depends on whether Jian Wei dares to make a promise of 100% success.
Jian Wei took out a tissue and wiped her hands. Then she took out a contract from the drawer and handed it to Chen Jingming, saying: "This is a cooperation contract prepared by our company. If we cannot completely help Zhuomei resolve this public relations crisis, we will not charge any service fees. On the contrary, Zhuomei must transfer the operating rights of the two advertising spaces in Beimen to me for 3 years."
Chen Jingming looked at Jian Wei with shock, as if impressed by the strong confidence and courage shown by this woman. It took him a long time to take over the contract from her and look at him seriously.
Chen Jingming looked at the contract for only a few pages for 10 minutes before saying to Jian Wei: "Mr. Jian, are you sure you want to execute this gambling contract?"
"Since I drafted the contract, of course I have plans to continue to execute it. It depends on whether you sign it or not."
"I'll ask Mr. Mi for instructions, please wait a moment."
After Jian Wei made a gesture of treating her, she picked up the unfinished breakfast from the table and continued to eat. The feeling of walking in the garden made me full of confidence in this cooperation.
After a while, Chen Jingming returned to the office and nodded to Jian Wei and said, "Mr. Mi said he could sign it, and asked me to convey his greetings to Mr. Jian. If this time, Zhuomei's possible public relations crisis can be solved, in addition to the two gold advertising spaces, she will thank her again after returning to China."
Jian Wei smiled and said, "Mr. Mi, please be polite."
Chen Jingming responded to Jian Wei's smile, exhaled heavily, and finally picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract prepared by Jian Wei. This also means that the historic cooperation between Jian Wei and Mi Cai has officially begun.
After signing the contract, Jian Wei shook hands with Chen Jingming routinely. Chen Jingming asked her again: "I wonder what kind of public relations team Mr. Jian has prepared for Zhuomei this time?"
Jian Wei sat back on her office chair, immediately took out a stack of information from the drawer, handed it to Chen Jingming and said: "This is information from Wei Ruli and Sun Rui. They are the elites among the elites in the public relations industry. As long as there is no public relations crisis like the Sanlu incident, they are sure to solve it."
Chen Jingming took the information from Jian Wei again, and said while flipping through it: "I have heard of these two people's reputation in the public relations industry. I believe Mr. Jian is ready to invite them. I hope our cooperation will be successful!"
