"Ms. Liu, can I name our electric vehicle 'Feiyi'?"
Liu Xiaoli was stunned, her mouth twitched, and she braced herself, saying,
"Yes, it's our honor."
How cunning this young man was; he was forcefully latching on.
Using the homophonic sound of a name, then twisting it around – if you ask him for money, he definitely won't give it, and at most, he'll just change the name.
Forget it, this naming method also benefits our side, so let him be.
From the beginning of the negotiations, Liu Xiaoli felt that this young man was difficult to deal with.
He claimed to be a fan of Feifei, but there was no fanatical enthusiasm at all, and Liu Xiaoli noticed that he always used "your daughter" to describe Feifei.
This clearly showed that he was setting the negotiation position very high, communicating with her as an equal.
It was impossible to take advantage of his age.
However, the contract proposal he offered was indeed very attractive, and the payment method was very straightforward.
"Hello, MOTO, hello, MOTO."
Just as Tan Jincheng was about to say something, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw it was from Zhang Xuhui:
"Sorry, I need to take a call first."
Liu Xiaoli made a gesture for him to do so, and Tan Jincheng did not leave the room, directly answering the phone and asking,
"What's up?"
Zhang Xuhui's excited voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Boss, how's it going on your end? But no matter how the talks went, you need to come back quickly."
"Come back quickly? What happened?"
Tan Jincheng frowned, simultaneously distancing himself from Liu Xiaoli and the others.
"It's good news, a senior leader from the district is coming to inspect our company this Friday,"
Zhang Xuhui said excitedly.
Tan Jincheng raised an eyebrow, looking at everyone in the room:
"A senior leader inspecting our company?"
"Yes, so you need to come back quickly. It's November 4th, not many days left, and we don't know how to arrange things without you."
He really had to go back, regardless of how the talks went.
This was great news, and there weren't many days left until the inspection.
"Alright, I'll head back immediately. The factory is currently operating as usual; we'll discuss it when I return."
With that, Tan Jincheng hung up the phone without waiting for Zhang Xuhui to reply.
Gu Qingqing walked up to Tan Jincheng with a worried expression and asked,
"What's wrong? Why do you need to go back so quickly?"
"It's nothing, it's good news. A senior leader from the district is coming to inspect us,"
Tan Jincheng squeezed her hand, comforting her.
Yongcheng is a city with independent planning status.
What level is the senior leader in Beicang District who manages the economy?
Damn, he had never met such a high-ranking leader before.
Tan Jincheng was a little excited, but also a little nervous.
He had just submitted a new project plan, and now a senior leader was coming to inspect.
For him, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Of course, it was also possible that nothing would come of it.
Hearing this, Gu Qingqing's eyes lit up.
Although she didn't understand what it truly meant, she watched the news, so it must be good news, and indeed, they should go back immediately.
It was a bit of a shame, though; she had originally wanted to see how filming was done.
After comforting Gu Qingqing, Tan Jincheng immediately said to Liu Xiaoli:
"I'm very sorry, Ms. Liu, I have an urgent matter to attend to and must return. We can only discuss the subsequent promotional plan after this matter is handled."
Liu Xiaoli nodded and said,
"I understand, General Manager Tan. Please attend to your urgent matter first. We can start on the promotional plan here. Is announcing 35 million yuan to the public okay?"
Liu Xiaoli had roughly heard the conversation on the phone just now, about a senior leader coming to inspect, and it seemed like a high rank; this was good news, indicating that the company's strength was not weak, and she subconsciously showed a bit more respect in her attitude.
"No problem, I will approve this figure. Also, please email me when Miss Liu is available to film the advertisement, and I will arrange for the advertising team to design the ad campaign."
"Okay, we will send the itinerary to your email, General Manager Tan. Do you have anything else to instruct?"
Tan Jincheng thought for a moment:
"That's all for now. Also, after I return, I will immediately arrange for the finance department to make the payment. Please rest assured about this."
"No rush,"
Liu Xiaoli responded with a smile.
"I have one more small request, I wonder if Miss Liu can agree to it,"
Tan Jincheng said with a smile to Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei smiled and said,
"General Manager Tan, please say it."
During these past few days of negotiations, except for the first day and today's signing, she had been on set the rest of the time, so she hadn't had much contact with Tan Jincheng.
She didn't understand what the grinning Tan Jincheng was thinking at the moment.
Meanwhile, the nearby Liu Xiaoli saw Tan Jincheng showing that rogue-like expression again and knew it wasn't anything good, but unfortunately, her daughter had already spoken.
"Miss Liu, could you sign 100 autographed photos for us? They will be used to assist with publicity during our sales ceremony."
Here it comes.
Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but roll her eyes.
During the negotiations these past few days, she had asked Brother Chun's agent.
This kid had previously scammed Brother Chun out of hundreds of autographed photos, and now he was doing it again!
Oh, right, according to Brother Chun's agent, this kid claimed to be Brother Chun's fan last time.
!!!
Having debuted for two years, 18-year-old Liu Yifei looked at Tan Jincheng in shock.
She had seen requests for autographs before, and had even taken a photo with the beautiful girl next to him earlier, but she had never seen anyone ask for 100 at once!
"Of course, you don't have to give them now. Miss Liu just needs to remember this, and you can mail them to us later."
This kid was truly shameless.
Liu Xiaoli twitched her mouth and interjected,
"I'll agree to this for my Feifei. I'll mail them to you, General Manager Tan, in a few days, don't worry."
"Okay, thank you, Ms. Liu. Then we'll be leaving now. Goodbye, Ms. Liu, Miss Liu."
"Goodbye, General Manager Tan,"
Liu Yifei said, recovering from her shock.
He wanted 100 autographed photos?
Her signing hand would get very sore.
After Tan Jincheng left the room, Liu Xiaoli sighed:
"Don't look. He was lenient with you. He asked for hundreds from the other brand spokesperson in their company, also under the guise of being her fan."
"Huh?"
—
"What are you laughing at?"
On the drive back, Tan Jincheng saw Gu Qingqing smiling in the passenger seat and couldn't help but ask.
Gu Qingqing turned to look at Tan Jincheng and said,
"I'm laughing at Liu Yifei's reaction just now; it was similar to how Brother Chun Angelica sinensis was shocked."
"Oh, if you can benefit, then benefit. Liu Yifei's autographs are valuable. Selling one for a few hundred yuan should be no problem, so it's like getting a few thousand yuan back from her."
"Care? Why wouldn't I care? I'll open a brand promotion store in Beicang, and at the grand opening, we'll have a lottery. I still have some of Brother Chun's autographed photos too. That will definitely attract many fans to buy cars."
If this inspection brings good news, Beicang will be his main base in the future.
Opening a brand promotion store there, what later generations would call a flagship store, is essential.
Making money isn't important; the image project must be done.
At the grand opening, these 100 autographed photos and Brother Chun's remaining autographed photos will be used to attract fans.
The two hottest new-generation female stars this year will definitely draw a crowd.
Gu Qingqing was speechless.
Brother was truly unscrupulous in business, using every method available, but it seemed there was nothing wrong with it.
Coming along this time had opened her eyes again.
"By the way, I promised to take you to visit the set and watch filming, but unfortunately, there's no chance this time. I'll find an opportunity to make it up to you next time."
"It's okay, Liu Yifei told me some details about filming, and we even exchanged contact information."
Originally, Liu Yifei had agreed to take Gu Qingqing to watch filming, but Tan Jincheng was a bit uneasy.
As a soul who had lived two lives, Tan Jincheng had no filters for celebrities.
In later generations, countless celebrities had gotten into scandals, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
Handing his girlfriend over to a young girl who had only debuted for two years, Tan Jincheng was absolutely not at ease.
Who knew what kind of people she might encounter on set?
He didn't want any accidents to happen after signing a contract.
"Speaking of which, this place should be quite close to your home, right? Shall we make a detour and visit your home?"
Hengdian and Yiwu both belong to the Jinhua prefecture-level city, but you can't tell Yiwu people they are Jinhua people; they would jump up and down.
"No, next time. Your matter is more important, it can't be delayed,"
Gu Qingqing said, blushing.
In reality, she had secretly run off with her boyfriend to watch filming and hadn't even told her family about having a boyfriend yet, so how could she possibly take him back directly?
However, Tan Jincheng's words did remind her.
She had already met his uncle, but she had forgotten to tell her parents.
It was time to find an opportunity to tell her family.
"Alright, there's no place to buy gifts right now anyway, and going rashly would be a bit impolite. So next time it is."
Fearing the topic would continue, Gu Qingqing changed the subject:
"What kind of things do they inspect?"
"I don't know either. Probably similar to the procedures in the news. I've never seen such a high-ranking leader either, to be honest, I'm quite nervous."
"Brother, you get nervous too?"
"Of course! Whether I can achieve my dream and whether the industrial base can be built, this step is crucial."
As the leaders thought, Tan Jincheng also had ambitions.
In the nascent stage of the electric vehicle industry, as this year's popular brand, Shanchi might have a chance to challenge the industry's top players.
Xinri and Yadi, the two future industry giants, are already making various arrangements.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, they will likely continue to lead the industry as in his previous life.
But Aimake hasn't appeared yet; at least, this brand is not currently on the market.
He remembered Aima gaining market share through Chairman Zhou's endorsement, overwhelming advertising, and marketing.
Shanchi is now taking a similar path to Aima.
At worst, when Brother Chun's contract expires or when they have money next year, they can directly sign Chairman Zhou to counter Aima.
Yadi's approach is more confusing, and it seems to have strong capital backing.
They are also making big moves this year, so it's probably impossible to beat them.
As for Xinri, there's no need to worry; they have Big Brother Jackie Chan.
By this calculation, as long as the industrial base is successfully established, Shanchi still has a chance to be among the top three in the industry.
At the very least, it can achieve the status of Luyuan, right?
