Chapter 244 The Fairy Sister is Too Expensive
The snack shop wasn't doing much business in the morning.

Zeng Wenjie also called Fu Qianzhu from the on-campus store to a meeting to prepare for a marketing campaign for Christmas.

The store will offer Christmas gift packages, such as "Christmas Snack Extravaganza Gift Package," "Christmas Heartwarming Snack Gift Package," "Christmas Movie Package Gift Package," and "Christmas Blind Box Lucky Draw Gift Package," etc., and will also launch a recharge bonus event...

"We'll bring a cart over then, and give away mulled wine and apples for free with the purchase of Christmas gift packs."

"We need to arrange the Christmas-themed decorations and get them set up before Christmas Eve to create the atmosphere."

Gift packages and the like are essentially no different from an "intelligence tax," except the packaging is different and the price is higher; ultimately, the consumer pays the price.

After summarizing the future work progress, Zeng Wenjie began to assign tasks.

Ye Qiansheng asked, "Then what are you doing?"

Zeng Wenjie said with a serious expression, "Of course I'm in charge of publicity and promotion, so that more people will know the name 'Snack Panic' and prepare for next year's expansion plan."

He spoke with great conviction.

"Moreover, it's foreseeable that in a while, snack shops that copy us will appear. All sorts of snack shops will spring up like mushrooms after rain, claiming things like 'lots of snacks,' 'great snacks,' 'refreshing snacks,' 'awesome snacks,' and 'great snacks.'" The beginning is normal, but it gradually becomes outrageous.

But those words made everyone's hearts tighten.

Fengzhou City currently only has one store specializing in snacks, "Snack Panic," making the market incredibly vast. However, once reports about Zeng Wenjie are broadcast, it will definitely attract some speculators.

In addition, the operating model of snack shops is simple and easy to understand, making it incredibly easy to replicate.

Fu Qianzhu asked, "How should we deal with this?"

Zeng Wenjie then said, "Make sure the product quality is good, optimize the product selection, and enhance the customer experience. Leave the rest to me."

News reports about Zeng Wenjie certainly attracted the attention of some investors. However, the investors were also well aware that the business model of Ling Shi Heang was very simple and easy to copy.

If Zeng Wenjie can pass this test, then he will be considered truly qualified and eligible to receive investment.

"Brother Ye, could you find a toy factory when you have some free time and have them make a batch of our cartoon character figurines? Then customers can redeem them with points, which will help retain customers. I'll also try to contact various popular resources and establish partnerships with snack shops," Zeng Wenjie said.

“Oh, no problem!” Ye Qiansheng said.

He gets excited and full of energy when the topic of expanding his snack shop comes up.

After all, Ye Yixuan's words still bothered him, and he was determined to make a name for himself in the snack industry and slap her face back hard.

Zeng Wenjie also plans to make a batch of figurines and stickers related to "The Voice of China". Anyway, he owns the copyright, so he is not worried at all.

It doesn't matter if those snack shops that copy snacks open in a panic; there are plenty of ways to make them grovel.

Shi Jing calmly said, "What's so scary about plagiarism! We can just be strategically contemptuous of them, but tactically take them seriously."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Wow, buddy, you've got some eloquence now."

“I don’t know what’s gotten into him lately, but he’s been reading Mao’s Selected Works every day,” Ye Qiansheng said.

"Great!" Zeng Wenjie was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then gave a thumbs up in praise.

He hadn't been able to get into this set of books before he was thirty, but he finished reading them seriously after he turned thirty-five and felt that he had benefited greatly from them.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jing has now come to this realization and has started to study.

Shi Jing said, his face flushed, "I can't keep being called illiterate by you all all the time, can I? I have to work hard and show you all what I'm made of."

"Look at them with new eyes, and wait and see."

Ye Qiansheng corrected him expressionlessly.

Several girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. Although Shi Jing had changed somewhat, he still made such silly mistakes from time to time, which was quite amusing.

“What are you laughing at? You’ll all have to apologize to him one by one sooner or later!” Zeng Wenjie said.

Shi Jing glared at him fiercely, spat, and said, "I will never call you godfather again, you dog!" Zeng Wenjie said, "I just bought a few packs of cigarettes a few days ago, and I was just about to give them to you and Brother Ye. Since that's the case, then forget it."

"Father!"

Shi Jing immediately slid to his knees at lightning speed and said, "Please forgive my filial impiety. I will apologize to you on the spot."

Zeng Wenjie chuckled and said, "Alright, that's enough for today's meeting. Everyone go back to your work."

As he spoke, he pulled out his ringing cell phone.

"Hey, Sister Xuan, I'm in a meeting at the snack shop! Okay, okay, I'm coming right now..."

Zeng Wenjie also slid to his knees at lightning speed, and the way he called her "Sister Xuan" made Ye Qiansheng feel nauseous and disgusted.

After he hung up the phone, Ye Qiansheng frowned and asked, "What exactly are you and Ye Yixuan up to?"

"You'll know then."

The old riddle teller didn't reveal any information at all. After imitating Brother Crow, he tossed a cigarette into his mouth, put it in his mouth, and walked away with a grin.

Ye Qiansheng said, "Everyone, get back to work. Xiao Liu, you watch the shop. We'll go and take care of what this scoundrel of a capitalist ordered us to do first."

Liu Qi gave an "OK" sign and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ye. It's very cold today because of the snow, so there shouldn't be many customers. I can handle it all by myself."

Zeng Wenjie arrived at Feng Xiao's rented apartment building, opened the door of the Audi A8, and got in.

There was some snow on the road today, but the A8's "Cross-Touch" system boasts superior mechanical quality, so there's no need to worry too much about road conditions.

After driving to the provincial TV station to attend the meeting, Zeng Wenjie called Ye Yixuan aside and said with a smile, "Sister Xuan, can I ask you for a small favor?"

Ye Yixuan glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Go ahead and speak."

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'd like to contact the actress who played Guo Xiang in the new version of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' and ask her to be our brand ambassador, Marlenia. You're so well-connected, do you have any friends who can get in touch with her?"

Ye Yixuan was taken aback and asked, "Aren't you going to find Liu Yifei, but some unknown actress instead?"

“Sigh, I love Fairy Sister too, but she must be very expensive! The jewelry store is just starting out, and we’ve already invested millions in ‘The Voice of China.’ Where would we get the money to hire her?” Zeng Wenjie said.

The "Fairy Sister" (Liu Yifei) hasn't quite reached the level of a supermodel yet, but her endorsement fee should be at least 200-400 million yuan per year.

As for Yang Mi, who wasn't very famous, Zeng Wenjie estimated that if he contacted her through Ye Yixuan, she would be willing to sign her for 100,000 to 200,000 yuan a year.

Zeng Wenjie planned to throw the ten-year contract in Yang Mi's face and then use this "child labor" contract to extract resources from her future.

Ye Yixuan frowned and said, "Isn't Marlenia an Italian brand with an official license? Let the headquarters pay for it. Choosing a minor celebrity is a bit beneath their image. Besides, after 'The Voice of China' airs, the brand's reputation will soar, and she'll be the one who benefits."

“What I’m really interested in is her potential. I’m a businessman, and what businessmen love to do most is invest in promising stocks,” Zeng Wenjie said with a smile. “I’d like to sign her a ten-year endorsement contract directly, even if it’s not exclusive.”

Ye Yixuan thought Zeng Wenjie had probably lost his mind and asked, "Would your headquarters agree to something like this?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Headquarters doesn't have much confidence in the Chinese market, so they've given me a lot of authority. Since I dared to propose it, it's definitely going to work! Sister Xuan, if you have any connections, please help me."

Ye Yixuan sighed and said, "Actually, it would be better to choose a bigger star, but since you insist on choosing this minor celebrity, I'll make a call for you. What's her name?"

Then, Ye Yixuan went to the side and made two phone calls, which took no more than two minutes in total.

"Alright, the price isn't expensive, 200,000 a year," Ye Yixuan said expressionlessly as she walked back.

"Thank you, Sister Xuan!" Zeng Wenjie bowed deeply, "Long live Sister Xuan! Long live Sister Xuan! Long live Sister Xuan!"

"I don't deserve it. Long live the people!" Ye Yixuan replied coldly.

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'll treat Sister Xuan to dinner later!"

Ye Yixuan said, "Alright, stop flattering her. Her agent will contact you. I'll send you your phone number later."
