I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 406 Akihabara

The next day.

When Ye Xian woke up in the hotel, it was already 11 a.m. After the concert ended last night, he had a meal with guests such as Ding Ding, Jiang Tian, ​​and Liu Xiaoxiao. He returned to the hotel at 1 a.m.

Even with the help of many guests, his throat was still a little sore after a night of singing. He looked up to find water, but saw Qiu Qing sitting on the sofa next to him with hot water prepared for him.

"woke up?"

Seeing Ye Xian open his eyes, Qiu Qing picked up a glass of water and walked to the bedside: "Drink some warm water to soothe your throat. You'd better not talk too much today."

Ye Xian nodded, took the water and drank a few sips, feeling much better. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Qiu Qing say again, "I've already asked the chef to prepare some light food for you. We can talk about work after you eat."

Ye Xian felt a warm current surge in his heart; his childhood sweetheart was the most considerate person at this crucial moment.

Leaning against the headboard, Ye Xian opened his phone. His inbox was overflowing with well wishes and messages. His Weibo and Kuaiyin were full of people tagging him.

……

The release of seven new songs in a row, coupled with the popularity of Ye Xian's first-ever concert, unsurprisingly made Ye Xian top the charts again.

This time, even spending money can't get it off the hook.

Ye Xian clicked on each one and found no trolls causing trouble, nor did anyone say anything bad. Most of them were marketing accounts trying to ride the wave of popularity. What was rare was that many major media outlets praised "Walking the Road of Life," believing that the song's theme was excellent, expressing the lives of many people and encouraging many to face difficulties without fear, because there is no future without hard work.

Seeing that everyone was praising him, Ye Xian stopped paying attention. These were just icing on the cake, and no one would remember them in a few days.

……

Ye Xian then opened the company information and saw the log sent by Wang Dalong.

The number of stores in Bingxue Micheng has reached 240. Although the rate of new store openings is not as terrifying as it was in the beginning, it is still 4-5 new stores opening every day, which has surprised many people in the industry.

In fact, Ye Xian's way of opening stores is extremely simple: first, set up an office in the capital of each province, and then frantically recruit, train, and find store locations.

The store decoration is standardized and can be completed in 10-15 days. Training is provided during the decoration period. All materials are shipped from Haizhou and will arrive three days before the store opens, covering the next two weeks' worth of materials, including product materials and promotional materials.

On the opening day, staff from existing stores and elite teams will be mobilized from various regions to provide support. The more stores opened in the same province, the more support will be provided, and then the support will spread from province to province.

Ten elite teams were dispatched to different cities each day to support the opening of a new store for the first two days. This marching-style store opening model required Wang Dalong and others to have extremely good personnel management skills and to be able to quickly negotiate new store locations.

Some landlords have already caught wind of this and are trying to negotiate higher rents when Bingxue Micheng comes to discuss rent. However, Ye Xian's location strategy is to offer a 20%-30% premium for stores in pedestrian streets and near schools. If the rent is higher, he will decisively give up and look for a new location.

Anyway, with the physical retail sector in a slump right now, there are storefronts for sale or rent everywhere, so there's no shortage of people looking for good locations.

With such a straightforward and uncomplicated approach to store selection, the pace of new store site selection is accelerating. If it weren't for some bottlenecks in cash flow and staff training, Wang Dalong would open 50 new stores a day.

Ye Xian, on the contrary, kept sending messages to comfort Wang Dalong, asking him to do a good job in quality control of the stores that had already opened, because he knew very well that the consequence of opening stores quickly would be that the middle management would not be able to keep up, which would take time.

Therefore, Ye Xian will not accelerate the trend of opening stores before the new year, and even requires a slowdown, focusing on building a talent pool to prepare for a surge in talent after the new year.

……

After handling the most crucial matters concerning the opening of the Ice and Snow Honey City store, Ye Xian then discussed the sales issues of several brands with Li Bai, the factory manager of the winery.

Haizhou Winery has a very weak foundation. Even with its signature wine, Ye Xiaobai, Haizhou Winery is still a junior compared to Datang Winery. Its sales volume is insignificant compared to major brands, and it can't even compare to the annual sales of a small branch brand.

However, Ye Xian's high hopes for Haizhou Winery were no less than those for Haima Foods. On the contrary, he kept encouraging Li Bai, telling him to quickly open up offline channels and form a synergy with Haima Coconut Juice and Hailaoji to jointly capture offline channels.

They're targeting the youth market, and they're not playing the high-end game; instead, they're exploiting cultural misalignment. Therefore, their main target market isn't entirely through traditional channels.

……

After talking with the winery, Ye Xian then discussed the variety show schedules of the five girls, Li Xin and Duan Fei, Chen Xu and Li Hong with Ding Zhan. These girls are destined to develop in all aspects of film, television and music, so Ye Xian asked Ding Zhan to add some variety shows for them to increase their approachability, but not too many. If they become variety show stars, their career path will be narrowed.

Qiu Qing saw that although Ye Xian didn't speak, his hands were typing rapidly, and he had no idea that there was another person in the room, or that the hotel staff had just delivered breakfast and lunch.

She had no choice but to pick up a spoon and feed him wontons spoonful by spoonful.

When the first wonton was fed into his mouth, Ye Xian didn't react yet, but he quickly realized that it was his childhood sweetheart serving him. He hurriedly put down his phone and was about to take the spoon himself, but she pressed him back onto the bed: "You go ahead and do your work. You've been swamped with work these past few days. Eat first and then take a nap so you'll have energy for the night."

Ye Xian stared intently at Qiu Qing, making her a little embarrassed: "What are you looking at? Get back to work."

Ye Xian smiled again, picked up his phone, and continued working.

This time, however, he devoted some of his attention to Qiu Qing.

This feeling of being carefully cared for is different from when Wang Feifei is usually an assistant.

Because she could sense that Qiu Qing genuinely wanted to take care of her and felt sorry for her, she sat on the sofa early to wait for her to wake up, prepared warm water for her, and prepared a light lunch for her.

There are many ways to love someone, and Qiu Qing's approach is exactly the kind Ye Xian likes—not overly cloying, but full of genuine care.

He's really susceptible to Qiu Qing's charm.

So, in a moment of his busy schedule, he said, "I'll name the yacht that Afif gave me 'Autumn Leaf'."

Qiu Qing, who had just scooped up a wonton and was about to feed it to Ye Xian, paused, her ears suddenly turning red: "What does this have to do with me?"

Ye Xian smiled.

Just as Qiu Qing understood him, he understood Qiu Qing just as well.

He knew exactly what she was interested in.
