Huayu Entertainment, all I can do is make bad movies.
Chapter 27 Dongzi
Wang Hai browsed the car market and found that there weren't many good commercial vehicles.
It can even be described as scarce.
This is partly due to the fact that China has not yet joined the WTO. Car prices are too high, making them unaffordable for ordinary people, and naturally, there are fewer car models to choose from.
Currently, wealthy people in China who want to buy luxury cars also place orders first, and then have them shipped from abroad to China through various channels by intermediaries.
With no other option, Wang Hai ultimately chose the Audi 100.
This classic car, launched in 1982, was introduced to China in 1988 through technology transfer and has become the mainstream choice for governments, state-owned enterprises, and large companies.
Wang Hai's test drive was alright.
However, the rate of obsolescence will be relatively fast. It will be a few years before China joins the WTO, and the business will have to be replaced after only a few years.
Having already bought a car worth over 30 yuan, they wouldn't mind having another van.
In just a few months, two more cars appeared in front of Haiwang Film and Television, one of which was a high-end Audi, significantly increasing its visibility and attracting more attention.
The employees felt proud and their sense of belonging was greatly enhanced.
Zhou Yang and Zhang Xiaomin also brought good news to Wang Hai via an overseas phone call.
One Cut of the Dead shone brightly at the Toronto International Film Festival, garnering numerous accolades and ultimately winning the International Critics' Award in the competition.
In the race for Best Feature Film, One Cut of the Dead was just one vote behind Life Is Beautiful.
Afterwards, many international film distributors approached Zhang Xiaomin and Zhou Yang, seeking distribution cooperation.
This matter was far beyond their expectations, and they couldn't make up their minds, so they made an overseas call.
Wang Hai didn't think much of it.
The only way is to sell the copyright.
The company went to great lengths to send Zhou and Zhang to participate in overseas film festivals.
In cooperative distribution, when separated by vast oceans, one's own interests cannot be effectively protected.
There is another reason.
They worry that the positive review rate will exceed the negative review rate, thus making their efforts futile.
Therefore, the only option is to forcibly sever the copyright.
How can he let people overseas appreciate his directorial talent?
There is a chance.
Once he has accumulated more wealth in the country, he will make some films specifically for overseas audiences.
"Sell to small countries if you want to. Even ten or twenty thousand euros is money. It would be best to sell the rights directly to European countries. The sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can get back to our country."
"Boss, Japanese film companies have also contacted us, wanting to import and distribute our films."
"We'll only sell the copyrights. The Japanese market is huge, so we'll take as many as possible."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Hai pulled out that day's newspaper.
The moment Wang Hai unfolded the newspaper, he was startled.
The headline that immediately catches the eye reads: "Little Jingdong, where are you?"
Surprisingly, major newspapers in Beijing have reported on the search for Xiao Jingdong as a hot social issue.
The original "Find Notice" section has been transformed into a prominent homepage.
"Things seem to be getting serious."
Wang Hai scratched his head and beckoned Fang Bei over.
"Go to the newspaper office tomorrow, and as usual, publish another announcement in three small sections."
Fang Bei asked curiously, "Weren't we promoting the Beijing Winter Olympics? We finally got so many media outlets to spontaneously promote it, why are we stopping now?"
Wang Hai said irritably, "That depends on the situation. You can't be too extreme in your actions, you know?"
"So what should we send?"
Wang Hai thought for a moment, then picked up his pen.
【notice】
[Xiao Jingdong has been found. He is just a computer parts store in Hailong Building, not a child as the public imagined. To express our apologies to the public, Jingdong's store will be selling all goods at a 10% discount starting today.]
"that's all."
Wang Hai handed the note to Fang Bei.
Jingdong really made a killing with this move.
It only cost 3 yuan, but it brought in at least tens of millions of yuan in publicity.
As for the potential backlash in public opinion...
Opinions on this matter vary.
Black and red are also red.
Being scolded is better than being ignored.
After this incident, Jingdong will definitely become the most famous computer parts store in Hailong Building, and even in the entire capital.
And when the latest "announcement" is released tomorrow, Wang Hai's insane and manipulative marketing plan will inevitably be the subject of a frenzy of criticism from the general public.
At that time, the 3 yuan reward will be completely secured.
The next day.
Hailong Building, Jingdong Store.
Because he spent some time with his girlfriend the night before, Dongzi returned to the shop late and went to bed late as well.
Having also exhausted some of my energy, I slept soundly and deeply.
In his dazed state, countless mosquitoes and flies swarmed into the shop, buzzing around his ears and annoying him.
No matter how much he waved his hands, the noise did not diminish at all.
Dongzi woke up with a start, sat up from the cardboard, and witnessed a scene she would never forget.
Outside the glass door, a large crowd pointed and whispered at him, as if they were looking at a wild animal in a cage.
"Holy crap... what's going on?"
Dongzi, who had been drowsy, woke up completely and stared in shock at the endless crowd outside.
It wasn't until a shout of "Open the door!" rang out that Dongzi realized that Wang Hai's advertising must have worked, and customers were flocking in.
Dongzi rubbed her face, jumped up, and opened the glass door.
However, what followed was a barrage of accusations.
"You're so young, how can you be so malicious? If you're going to do business, just do it honestly, why resort to such underhanded tactics?"
Dongzi was momentarily stunned.
Heaven have mercy.
He has been running the shop for two months, and he has always been honest and upright. He has never sold inferior goods or looked down on any customer. So how could he have resorted to any crooked practices?
Before Dongzi could object, another elderly man squeezed forward:
"I haven't slept for days and nights, haven't gone to the park to play chess, I've been searching for Xiao Jingdong for your family, asking everyone I meet, you young man, you're rotten to the core!"
"No wonder there's a 19-centimeter-tall child. Look at the shop sign; the characters '京' and '冬' are exactly 19 centimeters long. I've been tricked by the Japanese."
"You're a smart boss, but why do you always come up with such dirty tricks? Look how you've fooled us old folks. We have to take a longer route to buy groceries every day, hoping to run into Xiao Jingdong."
"It's not just us; the entire capital has been fooled by this kid."
Inside and outside the store, there was cursing, accusations, and reprimands; it was a complete mess.
Even more people squeezed into the store, eager to see which bastard had come up with this terrible idea that had fooled so many people.
Dongzi wasn't stupid; he held his breath and focused, and soon he understood the reason.
At this moment, he both hated and loved Wang Hai.
Hate, need I say more?
Given the current situation, there are at least 800, if not 1000, people waiting to criticize him.
He believed that a steady stream of menacing people would rush into the store, unleashing their fury upon him.
He was completely wronged. What's wrong with wanting to spend 3 yuan to increase the store's revenue?
Yet they have to endure the scorn and curses of thousands.
All of this was brought to him by Wang Hai, shouldn't he hate him?
Love, of course, exists as well.
The shop used to be deserted every day.
Thanks to Wang Hai's promotion, the number of customers in the store has increased dramatically.
These guests, however, came specifically to hurl insults at him.
But aren't they also incredibly valuable potential customers?
As for whether he can develop a few long-term clients, that depends on his abilities.
Thinking of this, Dongzi apologized tearfully while telling the group of elderly people about the hardships of running a business.
He firmly believes that as long as he is sincere enough, his previous actions will be fully forgiven, and Jingdong will be able to take a new step forward.
