After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 188 Sender: Mr. Zhou
A total of 423 customers.

The quantity is large.

However, after screening, not much remains.

There are only 43 companies with great signing value.

In addition to these 43 key customers, there are 129 ordinary customers.

The rest can only be eliminated.

This first round of customer screening follows certain rules, requiring the customer's product to have strong branding and to be consistent with the TV commercial.

For example, those 121 garment factories.

All 116 were abandoned.

The underlying logic of TV advertising is brand advertising.

Like the conversion advertisements designed by Zhou Haoran for "Children's Encyclopedia", these are special models for special products and are not replicable.

The prerequisite for television advertising is that the product must have a brand.

Most garment factories produce unbranded goods, selling them directly to the market without a license. These factories operate in a simple, small workshop-like fashion, with no need for advertising.

What surprised Zhou Haoran were the electronic products here.

There are many categories.

For example, there are Tetris game consoles, red and white game consoles imitating Nintendo, electronic pets, electronic dictionaries, walkmans, repeaters, VCD players, amplifiers, speakers, learning machines...

If you want to sell this kind of product in large quantities, you must operate it in a branded manner.

If you want to brand, you must advertise!
Zhou Haoran saw these electronics factories as the target clients he could focus on developing. Perhaps he could select, merge, and cultivate a large company with growth potential from these electronics factories.

As for those private pharmaceutical factories...

Signing the order should be easier.

Pharmaceutical advertising is the core category of television advertising in this era.

However, pharmaceuticals and health supplements weren't areas Zhou Haoran wanted to touch. There were too many gray areas, and these were things that could potentially kill people. He could sign contracts and advertise, but deeper collaboration wasn't necessary.

I worked until around two in the afternoon and finally finished organizing it.

Next, you can send the letter.

43 key customers, 129 ordinary customers, a total of 172 letters.

The workload is really not small.

"Mr. Zhou, a stamp costs 5 cents, plus the envelopes, so the cost of these letters is 100 yuan."

Qiao Nuo questioned this pattern that she could never understand.

"Yeah, the cost is a bit high." Zhou Haoran nodded in agreement. "This is just the trial phase. Once we have thousands or tens of thousands of customers operating at the same time, the operating costs will be difficult to control."

Qiao Nuo was horrified. "Teacher Zhou, these over a hundred letters are already making me dizzy. Thousands of clients, just writing down the zip codes and addresses is too much for me to handle!"

Zhou Haoran felt that what she said made sense, and thought to himself, "There are still not enough female disciples."

Use letter channels to simulate Internet lines.

There are indeed many inconveniences.

But this did not shake his faith.

Innovation!
There will inevitably be bumps and bruises along the way, and the road can only be found when the car reaches the mountain.

"Let's do this for now. Please take the trouble to address and stamp these 172 letters and send them out."

Zhou Haoran found a female apprentice just to do this kind of meticulous secretarial work.

Qiao Nuo was also very well-behaved. "Teacher Zhou, what should I write as the mailing address? Should I write our workplace?"

"Unit? No!"

Zhou Haoran cannot reveal the identity of the TV station.

If clients discovered that it was the TV station's people who were writing to them and providing them with business development guidance, with the ultimate goal of getting them to advertise on the TV station...

That will most likely lead to failure at the last moment of signing the contract.

But what should I write in the message when sending the email?

This is a local mail.

Customers are likely to come to your door by following the mailing address.

After meeting, I found out that Zhou Haoran was an advertising salesman who was doing mail sales. If he had a bad temper, they might get into a fight.

So you must have an identity that is trustworthy!

What kind of identity is acceptable?

A simple disguise like Reporter Zhou's will definitely not work. If there is too much contact, it will inevitably be exposed.

It’s best to have a real identity!
At this moment, Zhou Haoran thought of the noisy Bund and the small house left among the demolished houses - the Red House Teahouse.

This is a business that has lasted for two or three hundred years.

In charge of business!

For the right reasons!

It seems that there is no way to escape, and we can only look for answers from historical heritage.

"wait a moment!"

Zhou Haoran asked his female apprentice to write something else first, and he called Mr. Liu Zhengyue to ask for the specific address of the Honglou Teahouse.

Five minutes later, I came back with the recorded address.

Qiao Nuo looked at the small note and said with a bitter face, "Teacher Zhou, this is on the Bund!"

"Ah."

“When I send a letter, I have to run to the post office over there!”

“You’ve worked so hard.”

"Who should I send this letter to?" Qiao Nuo sighed softly and could only obey. "Teacher Zhou, should I write your name?"

Zhou Haoran said, "Write about me, put a bracket in front of it, and write 'Mr.' in the bracket... No, write 'Big Mr.'"

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

Since you need an identity.

It must be the best!

I am Mr. Zhou!

...Zhou Haoran took the passbook and went to the bank.

Judging by the time, the remaining balance should have arrived.

Once you get there, you'll be treated like a VIP.

Invited into a private room.

This saves a lot of trouble, at least there is no need to queue in the lobby.

The lady at the counter was incredibly gentle and kind to such a wealthy man, her words singing a sweet song. I refreshed my bank account and found that the balance had indeed arrived.

Balance in the account: 95!
Zhou Haoran now has 1.4 yuan in cash in his bag.

It doesn't feel quite enough.

I just withdrew 5 yuan in cash.

Card payments and electronic payments were not popular back then. Transactions were only done in cash, and you had to carry money with you at all times.

After leaving the bank, go directly to Lao Feng Xiang Gold Shop.

Platinum jewelry is currently popular in China, especially in the harbor area. Platinum is fashionable, while gold is considered tacky. Furthermore, platinum is more expensive than gold, so platinum jewelry is considered more upscale.

I picked up Qiao Suiqing and took her home in the evening, planning to give her a little surprise.

Unexpectedly, she was in a bad mood today.

When I got home, I didn't even think about taking a shower. I sat on the edge of the bed without changing my clothes, staring blankly, worried and anxious.

"Qingmei, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that she didn't move, Zhou Haoran pulled open the curtain to see her.

Qiao Suiqing puffed up his lips slightly, "Haoran, I think I'm in trouble."

"No way?"

Zhou Haoran's heart skipped a beat.

What's the situation?
Did she get so angry after making a little joke with Editor Lin in the ballroom? Did she take her anger out on Qingmei?

It's just a few touches!

You are already in your thirties, why are you still acting like a petty girl?

Isn't this just a personal revenge?

Qiao Suiqing kicked his feet angrily, knocking his slippers off his feet. He said irritably, "Leader!"

Zhou Haoran felt guilty, "Is it Editor-in-Chief Lin?"

"Editor-in-Chief Lin?" Qiao Suiqing was slightly stunned. "How is that possible? She even comforted me, saying she would help me and told me not to worry. I told you, Editor-in-Chief Lin is a good person. She cares about everyone and is kind to everyone."

"It's not her?" Zhou Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more confident. "Who dares to bully my childhood sweetheart? I'll teach him a lesson!"

Qiao Suiqing pursed his lips and smiled, rolling his eyes at him, "Only you can do it."

Zhou Haoran walked over, sat down with her, put his arm around her shoulders, and said righteously, "Tell me, who made you angry? Even if it's the director, I can vent your anger for you!"

Qiao Suiqing thought for a moment and said slowly, "Haoran, you're smart. Come and help me analyze this. Maybe I'm wrong."

"Well, tell me."

Zhou Haoran leaned back and tidied her hair behind her.

"Oh, don't make trouble."

Qiao Suiqing twisted his body, dissatisfied with his harassment.

"It's okay, just say your thing!"

Zhou Haoran planned to tie up her hair that was scattered on her shoulders, and then secretly put on her the newly bought platinum necklace.

Qiao Suiqing had no way to deal with him, so he just let him bully him. He said in detail: "Today, Deputy Director Yi came to inspect our column team. He mentioned my name and said a lot of things. It sounded sarcastic..."

"Who?" Zhou Haoran sat up straight and stopped messing with her hair. "Deputy Director Yi? Yi Changping?"

"Ah."

"Why is he there? He's not in charge of program production, so what is he doing there?"

"He's the leader, so go over and inspect."

"is it?"

Zhou Haoran narrowed his eyes.

As the deputy director of the Lifestyle Channel, Yi Changping was in charge of many areas, including the sales department. However, the director and Director Meng had teamed up to clearly sideline him, making it difficult for him to exercise his power in the sales department.

The key to this situation is Zhou Haoran.

Could it be that Yi Changping has such bad taste that he can't handle the director and the sales manager, so he wants to target a salesperson?

I don't even know where to start with the salesperson.

Are you going to the "Family Gossip" program team to bully women?
Isn’t this too promising?

Qiao Suiqing said worriedly, "Deputy Director Yi said that it's not safe for me to be the only host of the 'Family Gossip' program, and they need to train another one so that she can fill in if I'm busy and can't record the show."

"That's it..."

Zhou Haoran's mentality became much calmer.

Qiao Suiqing said worriedly, "Haoran, do you think the boss thinks I'm not good enough and wants to find someone to replace me?"

Zhou Haoran asked, "Where is your teacher Tang?"

Qiao Suiqing shook his head slightly. "Teacher Tang didn't say anything. It was the editor-in-chief who spoke to me. She told me not to worry too much and just focus on my work."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I also think you are overthinking it. There is nothing to worry about."

"is it?"

After hearing what he said, Qiao Suiqing calmed down a lot.

Zhou Haoran didn't tell the truth.

He was certain that Yi Changping was targeting him intentionally.

A deputy director who has no responsibility for a program came to the program team and made some incoherent remarks. This is completely inconsistent with leadership philosophy. Even if this is an inspection, it is mainly empty talk, clichés and lies. He would not come up and try to change the position of the female host.

However, Zhou Haoran was happy to see it happen and said with a smile: "Even if it is true, it is not a bad thing."

"Not a bad thing?"

Qiao Suiqing widened her pretty eyes.
