After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 175: No Need to Be Enough

Plans for the afternoon need to change.

Qiao Nuo sat at her desk, happily flipping through the more than a dozen reference books she had bought at noon. With more reading material, she felt more confident about completing the project assigned to her by Teacher Zhou.

This process is not just about doing the project.

It is still a very valuable learning process.

She is a liberal arts student, majoring in journalism.

Before this, I had never been exposed to fields such as corporate management, moral encouragement, and spiritual guidance.

This time I worked on a project with Teacher Zhou, which gave me a comprehensive exposure.

Read dozens of books.

Even a simple flip through gave her a general understanding of these areas and greatly improved her knowledge.

This made her very happy.

She thought it was Teacher Zhou giving her extra lessons.

After she has completed several projects and accumulated sufficient experience in personnel management and business operations at the theoretical level, she will have enough confidence to communicate with clients when she goes out to sell.

"Teacher Zhou, I think I can finish this project within three days."

Qiao Nuo looked at Zhou Haoran, who was sitting in Director Meng's seat in silence, and made a promise with confidence.

Zhou Haoran looked up at her and said with a smile, "Don't be too anxious."

Qiao Nuo pursed his lips and said, "That won't do. I need to learn quickly and become a master as soon as possible!"

"Out of school?"

"Now that we've graduated, let's go visit clients together!"

"Ah?" Zhou Haoran was a little amused. "Are you so interested in visiting clients?"

Qiao Nuo was a little puzzled. "Isn't that what sales is all about?"

Zhou Haoran said, "Visiting clients is not an easy job. It's very tiring to beg and plead with everyone."

"I know." Qiao Nuo nodded slightly and said softly, "I took the initiative to apply to be an apprentice in the sales department just to run sales."

Zhou Haoran was very curious about her choice, "Why?"

Qiao Nuo whispered, "I'm a bit introverted and not good at interacting with people. I'm also a bit timid. I'm an editor at university, doing clerical work and lacking contact with society. I feel like I lack so much. I became a sales apprentice because I want to step out of the ivory tower."

Zhou Haoran admired it and said, "That's quite ambitious!"

Qiao Nuo blushed slightly and said quietly, "Teacher Zhou, I will work hard and will definitely not let you down."

"Okay, I believe it."

Zhou Haoran had to change his plans again.

I thought I hired this female apprentice just to ask her to help with some secretarial work, such as looking up information and writing articles.

I didn’t expect this girl to be so ambitious!
In that case, we can't lock her up in the office.

I really need to find an opportunity to take her to visit clients.

Let her experience firsthand the warmth and coldness of human nature in social interactions.

Since you have an apprentice, you must do your best to train him/her well.

"By the way, where's the director? Why haven't I seen him all day?"

Zhou Haoran is here just to wait for Director Meng.

"I saw the director this morning." Qiao Nuo blinked, hesitated, and said in a low voice, "I saw that the director's expression was not right. He seemed very angry. Maybe he was in trouble. I didn't dare to ask."

"Is that so..." Zhou Haoran stood up, "Okay, then, go read the book. Call me if you need anything."

"Teacher Zhou, are you...are you going to see the director?"

Qiao Nuo felt a little aggrieved. She really wished Teacher Zhou could be in the office with her.

It's so lonely to be alone in the office.

"Well, I have something to do with him."

Zhou Haoran has to resolve the issue of the Children's Encyclopedia.

First of all, in terms of printing quality, the blue-covered "Children's Encyclopedia" is authentic.

Xinhua Bookstore may also sell pirated books, but the probability is still very small.

Similarly, the probability of genuine products being plagiarized is also very small.

The two sets of books were sold together, and the salesperson also encouraged consumers to buy the new edition of the blue-covered "Children's Encyclopedia", which was inducing consumption.

All these factors combined.

It should be that the blue-covered version of "Children's Encyclopedia" does not infringe on copyright or violate regulations.

This set of books was compiled by Jiang Xiong.

He holds the copyright.

No infringement means that the person behind the blue-covered version of "Children's Encyclopedia" is most likely him!

If not him, who could move so quickly?
Even if the market sees the popularity of "Children's Encyclopedia" and wants to launch similar books to take advantage of the popularity, it will take at least two or three months to launch the genuine book.

But for the blue-covered edition of the book, it only took half a month from the broadcast of the advertisement to the new book being put on the shelves!
Book number, three reviews and proofreading, printing, distribution channels...

How can all this be accomplished in such a short time?

There is only one reason!
The person behind the operation is Jiang Xiong.

He took advantage of the popularity and advertising effect of the "Children's Encyclopedia" and used his past connections and the publishing relationship of this series of books to obtain the qualification of fast track.

The white-cover version of "Children's Encyclopedia" has been reviewed and proofread before, and the blue-cover version is just a new packaging.

Keep everything simple.

Only then did all the processes go through at rocket speed and the second printing was completed.

This does not require any substantial evidence.

No need to worry!
Before this, Jiang Xiong had suggested to Zhou Haoran many times that the advertising effect was so good now, and 20 sets of "Children's Encyclopedia" seemed not enough to sell. Should he print some more?
Zhou Haoran disagreed and demanded that the project be abandoned as soon as possible so that he could start developing supplementary teaching materials.

Jiang Xiong had no choice but to agree.

Now it seems that Jiang Xiong is still quite wild and is doing something behind the scenes.

Mr. Zhou doesn't allow it.

Then he will do it alone!
This is not really a betrayal.

The tripartite cooperative company is Zhongbo Bookstore.

Jiang Xiong’s personal company is Haihua Culture Company.

Just because Zhongbo Bookstore doesn’t publish the “Children’s Encyclopedia” doesn’t restrict Haihua Culture from going it alone!

Moreover, although the white-covered "Children's Encyclopedia" and the blue-covered "Children's Encyclopedia" have basically the same content, they are two sets of books with different book numbers. The former is owned by Zhongbo Bookstore, and the latter is owned by Haihua Culture.

Non-interference and non-harassment!
Zhou Haoran has no power to restrict the free development of Haihua culture.

There's only one thing wrong.

The blue version is riding on the popularity of the white version!
Bookstore salespeople also deliberately guide consumers to buy the blue-covered version, and belittle the white-covered version as an old version, saying that they should buy new rather than old... This seems like they are trying to steal business.

Zhou Haoran, Li Changxing and Jiang Xiong have known each other for a short time and their friendship is not very deep.

Li Changxing is fine.

Mainly Jiang Xiong.

This person has a lot of ideas.

It seems that the lessons from the previous bankruptcy crisis are not enough.

Director Meng didn't know where he went.

Zhou Haoran found a phone and called Li Changxing first.

Li Changxing thought he was going to ask about the delivery, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. I asked Lao Yang to look after the kids, so nothing will happen! I brought back 7 yuan in cash this morning, and I asked him to deposit it into your bank account."

Zhou Haoran thanked him, "Thank you for your hard work, Boss Li."

"Oh, it's my duty!" Li Changxing was very relaxed about this. "This is quite efficient. We can finish all the deliveries this week. I don't know who else could have come up with such a great business except Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I heard that the Children's Encyclopedia is selling well too?"

"okay!"

Li Changxing was very excited when he mentioned this.

This brought his printing press back to life.

Zhou Haoran asked calmly, "How much is left?"

Li Changxing said, "There are still more than 1 sets left, right? The warehouse has been cleared out, and the few that remain are in the bookstores. They're selling out fast. I spoke to Lao Jiang this morning, and he said Mr. Zhou's advertising skills are too high. If it weren't for your advertising, these 20 sets of books would have been wasted."

"We're in some trouble now."

"trouble?"

"Well, there might be some controversy over at the TV station."

Zhou Haoran's tone was heavy.

Li Changxing had heard him say that both ads were suspected of copyright infringement and whispered, "Has our ads been complained about?"

Zhou Haoran said, "I don't know if it's a complaint or not, but there's some controversy now. These two ads may be taken down in the next two days and won't be allowed to air."

"Ah?" Li Changxing was a little disappointed. "The thing I was most worried about has finally happened."

Zhou Haoran said: "I'll try to get it back."

Li Changxing thought for a moment and said, "Why not forget it? The books are almost sold out now. There are only about 1 copies left. I can sell them slowly. We don't really need advertising now, so there's no need to rely on favors."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Haoran knew what was going on.

Boss Li was not aware of and did not participate in the second printing of the "Children's Encyclopedia".

Zhou Haoran felt relieved and said with a smile, "It's only been half a month. If we really cancel the advertisement, we will lose a lot of advertising fees."

Li Changxing was slightly startled, "You're not going to retreat?"

"This is force majeure. I can't back out. I can't reason with the TV station."

Zhou Haoran is also afraid of trouble.

There are two advertisements.

One is on the life channel and the other is on the comprehensive channel.

It’s easy for the Life Channel. It’s our own territory and we can operate it however we want.

It's very troublesome on the comprehensive channel. If the advertisements of the comprehensive channel are removed, half of the advertising fees will have to be recovered... This requires asking people for help and finding connections, and it will cost a lot of favors.

This would be much easier if the advertisements on comprehensive channels were simply removed without refunding the money.

It is equivalent to giving money to the comprehensive channel.

This can earn you favors.

However, it is not realistic for him, a small salesperson, to run this business.

We need to ask Director Meng for help.

Li Changxing smiled and said, "If you don't want to refund it, then don't refund it. It's not much money anyway. The advertising effect of the past two weeks has been amazing enough."

Zhou Haoran said, "That's fine. The good days of this cooperation with Zhongbo Bookstore are still to come."

"With Mr. Zhou in charge, I feel like running a business is like playing house. It's too easy."

Li Changxing was very excited and couldn't help but compliment him.

"Okay, I'll go ask about the ads." Zhou Haoran couldn't intervene directly. "But I don't think it's going to work. Both ads may have to be taken down. Also, notify Boss Jiang."

Li Changxing smiled and said, "It's okay, we'll just take it off the shelves. Once the ad is off, we'll collect all the payments as soon as possible. Zhongbo Bookstore will have a financial report, and the gross profit will be several million!"
