Chapter 84: A Little Trial

In my doubts, Director Zhou smiled and said, "Although you have not officially joined our company, I think you are the most suitable candidate. Of course, if you are not personally prepared, I won't force it."

After Director Zhou finished speaking, Li Xiaoyun also looked at me, as if she was looking forward to me going to this business negotiation with her.

"No problem, I will try my best to assist Director Li." I said with a confident smile without hesitation.

Director Zhou patted my shoulder and said, "Then look forward to your return in triumph."

Before I could respond, Li Xiaoyun answered the conversation and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't put too much pressure on Zhaoyang. This is the first time I interviewed. It's not so fast to return after triumphant success."

Director Zhou laughed and teased Li Xiaoyun, saying, "Xiaoyun, you are so nervous about him. I think your relationship is very unusual!"

Li Xiaoyun is a professional expert in the workplace and did not show her little daughter's shame. She smiled and said, "I'm just telling the truth!"

Director Zhou smiled tacitly, Li Xiaoyun and I immediately said goodbye to him, and after a little preparation, they drove towards Times Department Store.

On the way, Li Xiaoyun was driving, and I was sitting in the passenger seat. Li Xiaoyun asked me: "Zhaoyang, can you handle it later?"

"In a small scene, it's okay to combine our two swords." I said calmly. This calmness comes from my experience in work. You should know that when working at Poly, every time a luxury brand sets up a counter in a shopping mall, domestic first-line stars will be invited to attend the opening ceremony. Everbright stars have been received several times. It's just an ordinary business meeting that doesn't make me feel any psychological pressure. In addition, I have a rough understanding of the company background and team information of Orson Advertising, and I believe that I can handle the business meetings that will be later.

Li Xiaoyun nodded and said, "Well, I have full confidence in your psychological quality and expression skills, just because I am worried that you don't know enough about Orson Advertising..."

"Don't worry, there are still yours. Please help me with some internal problems in the company. We will definitely be able to solve them if we cooperate tacitly."

Li Xiaoyun nodded and smiled, "Zhaoyang, you are confident and quite masculine. It is difficult to connect with you when you first met."

"You will get used to my hidden things in the future!" I joked.

But Li Xiaoyun didn't treat it as a joke and said seriously: "I look forward to the surprise you are about to give me!"

...

A moment later, Li Xiaoyun and I came to Times Department Store, and parked the car and walked towards their office area immediately.

Under the guidance of the front desk of Times Department Store, Li Xiaoyun and I came to the office of the planning department manager, knocked on the door, and after receiving a response, they walked in immediately.

Li Xiaoyun greeted Manager Lin of Times Department Store with a very friendly smile and said, "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Manager Lin."

Manager Lin replied with a smile and said, "It's not a long time to wait, there are still 10 minutes left before the agreed time."

Li Xiaoyun nodded and introduced me to Manager Lin, saying, "This is a colleague of our company's planning department, Zhaoyang, who has experience in planning work at top department stores. If you have any questions about our company's planning later, you can communicate with him."

"Hello, Manager Lin." I nodded and signaled.

Manager Lin asked politely: "So we are a colleague. I'll ask you, which department store you used to be good at?"

"Politic Department Store in Suzhou later returned to Xuzhou due to some personal problems!"

Manager Lin said in surprise: "Poly Department Store! I have a little relationship with Manager Chen Jingming of their Planning Department, but there is still a little difference between our Times Department Store and Poly Department Store!"

I was not surprised by Manager Lin's feelings. There are only 10 top department stores in Jiangsu Province, all of whom are in the industry and are engaged in planning. Although they are not in the same city, it is not uncommon to know each other. There is indeed a gap between Times Department Store and Polygon. They currently have only 5 top international brands, but they are already top in Xuzhou.

I continued Manager Lin's words and said, "Chen Jingming is a boss I respect very much. It is my blessing in life to be able to work under him!"

These words were not my compliment. I was sincere in my gratitude to Chen Jingming, but I didn’t have the chance to repay his kindness for being acquainted, which made me feel guilty and sad again.

Manager Lin nodded in agreement with my evaluation of Chen Jingming, and signaled Li Xiaoyun and I to sit down and chat. The atmosphere seemed much easier-going because of Chen Jingming's relationship.

Manager Lin’s assistant poured a cup of coffee for me and Li Xiaoyun, and our communication began.

Manager Lin first asked Li Xiaoyun about some questions about advertising production and advertising price, and Li Xiaoyun gave very professional answers one by one.

Finally, Manager Lin said to me again: "Zhaoyang Planning, let me talk to you about your company's advertising planning capabilities."

I nodded and said bluntly: "Manager Lin, I think you must understand that in a third-tier city like Xuzhou, the advertising planning ability is a bit difficult to define. I also believe that when Times Department Store chooses a partner advertising company, it is definitely not the advertising planning ability, but how many publicity resources this advertising company has and how many advertising channels it has opened. Am I right? "

Manager Lin looked at me in surprise, then smiled and nodded and said, "I do have experience working in a department store. In Xuzhou, a city where the advertising market is not mature, we will not have too high expectations for the so-called advertising planning ability." After saying that, he interrupted and said in an increasing tone, "Indeed, we value the advertising resources that the advertising company has more."

The reason why Manager Lin takes Xuzhou advertising companies' generally weak advertising planning capabilities as a key point is that he hopes to be in a strong position in negotiations, but he is lucky to lower the price of advertising prices.

This is what it means to know yourself and your enemy and know each other's battles. I know the advertising needs of the department store industry and their mentality. Then I said with a kind smile: "Manager Lin, I'd better introduce you to a brief introduction to the advertising resources we currently have in Orson Advertising."

Manager Lin made a gesture of asking for advice, but Li Xiaoyun next to him was waiting to look at me nervously. In her eyes, I had not officially joined Orson Advertising yet, so I knew the advertising resources they had.

I recalled the information about Orson advertisements I read at noon in my mind, and then said: "At present, we have anti-aircraft artillery billboards on the Jingfu Expressway and Ningxu Expressway in Xuzhou. In addition, the high-end villa areas in Xuzhou: Longrun Villa, Sun Garden, and Nan'an Villa are also building advertisements. The platform advertisements in the entire Yunlong District, including the advertising agency rights for the Golden Section of the TV station. These are advertising resources that high-end department stores cannot refuse. If Times Department Store can cooperate with our Orson Advertising, I believe that our Orson Advertising has the ability to integrate these advertising resources and make the most suitable advertising planning plan for Times Department Store, improve communication efficiency, and save resources for you to the greatest extent."

After I finished speaking, Li Xiaoyun looked at me in surprise. She absolutely did not expect that I had already memorized all the advertising resources owned by Orson Advertising.

After I finished speaking, Manager Lin was silent for a while, and then said for a long time: "There are only a handful of advertising companies in Xuzhou that have advertising planning capabilities, and there are not even any advertising companies that understand department store marketing. The advertising resources you have are indeed very attractive to our department store. I will definitely consider Orson Advertising seriously, but I have to report to the senior management above for cooperation. Please wait for my news."

Li Xiaoyun wanted to say something. I pointed her toes with my feet below and told her not to speak. Then I smiled at Manager Lin and said, "Manager Lin, then let's wait for the good news."

Manager Lin stood up and our hands were held together. I had a strong premonition that the cooperation with Times Department Store will definitely be successful. In a few days, Manager Lin will come to us to discuss the details of the cooperation.
