Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

Inside the top-tier private room of the Anxiang Tea Restaurant.

Yuan Fangfang frowned slightly and asked, "Not making money? What's the use of gathering so many people? If you don't make money, how will you support your team and develop the business?"

Deng Ying blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Huanhuan, what are you after if not money? Oh dear, you're not laundering money, are you?"

Qin Huanhuan smiled and said, "Sister Ying, you know I won't do anything illegal. I'm a businesswoman, and business is business. My ultimate goal is definitely to make a profit."

"It's just that my profit model might be different from others. I'll give you a few examples, and you'll understand what I mean after you hear them."

Yuan Fangfang has been in business for decades and is a co-inventor of the product. She has collaborated with many outstanding companies and entrepreneurs around the world, met all kinds of elite talents, and seen all kinds of marketing methods. But at this moment, she was attracted by the marketing model that Qin Huanhuan was talking about...

Qin Huanhuan then said, "For example, there's a well-known warehouse club abroad that's a typical example of this. To quickly attract customers, it uses a high-cost membership system with annual fees, which account for over 70% of its overall profits. Their marketing strategy is that after purchasing a membership card, users will increase their store visits to offset the membership fee and also buy other low-priced items, thus making up for the 'loss' from the high-priced membership card."

"This supermarket's business extends beyond selling daily necessities to include car sales, refueling services, and insurance. However, all of their prices are below the normal market price in order to attract customers to buy membership cards."

"Actually, there are similar models in China. For example, a community delivery platform starts from small stalls, directly sourcing fruits, vegetables, grains, and oils to reduce costs, eliminating intermediaries, and passing the savings on to users and partner stores. After gaining trust, the platform helps farmers sell their inventory, handles large quantities of fruits and vegetables in a short period, and provides operational guidance to community stores to increase store owners' income and attract surrounding users to join."

"Ultimately, a complete chain is formed from the place of origin to the end consumer, and the source of revenue far exceeds simply selling goods."

"For example, one food delivery platform used cheap meal sets to drive a surge in orders on the same day, and then directed traffic to instant retail, travel and financial products. Another example is a shopping platform that used low-priced daily necessities to cover the lower-tier market. After its user base exceeded 900 million, it mainly relied on Google Play and self-operated revenue to generate income. At one point, Google Play revenue accounted for more than half of its total revenue. This approach reshaped the profit logic."

Yuan Fangfang and Deng Ying listened intently...

Qin Huanhuan continued, "Our traditional retail relies on price increases to maintain profits. Once competition becomes fierce, we can only lower prices, and profit margins are constantly being squeezed. Sometimes, in order to meet sales targets and increase capital turnover, we have to reduce profits to the minimum. Some products are even sold at break-even or at a loss."

Yuan Fangfang and Deng Ying nodded unconsciously as they listened. This kind of marketing tactic was perfectly normal to them, and they had even experienced it firsthand.

Qin Huanhuan continued, "My new model treats low-margin products as traffic tools. Once users develop the habit, the company can continuously monetize in multiple areas. Supply chain control and ecosystem building become crucial. Many imitators only copy the price aspect and ignore backend support, resulting in difficulty in reducing costs and exponentially increasing operational difficulty."

"My marketing model spreads rapidly, and businesses expand their services and diversify their revenue by enhancing user stickiness. However, some businesses only focus on low prices in the short term and fail to build quality assurance and cross-border closed loops, which eventually makes it difficult to sustain until they run out of cash flow, putting the business into a vicious cycle."

"That's why I chose to cooperate with Mr. Yuan, because his products have an excellent reputation in the industry and their quality is guaranteed."

Yuan Fangfang frowned and asked, "President Qin, so where is your profit source?"

Qin Huanhuan smiled calmly, not directly answering Yuan Fangfang's question, but instead saying: "I believe this novel marketing method has a great impact because it prioritizes the long-term value of users. Low prices are just the starting point; subsequent multi-field operations are my main battleground."

"If traditional businesses continue to focus solely on profiting from the price difference of individual items, their market share will gradually be devoured by competitors within the same industry—this is the jungle law of survival of the fittest!"

"Therefore, business operators need to adjust their thinking in a timely manner, focus on building trust and extending services, in order to gain a foothold in the fierce and brutal competition and allow the company to survive and develop. So having a complete marketing model that conforms to today's society is of utmost importance."

Yuan Fangfang raised an eyebrow and asked, "President Qin, I still don't understand where your profit point lies?"

Deng Ying also said, "Huanhuan, I agree with some of your marketing views, but I disagree with some of your marketing methods. What you just said are just marketing ideas and strategies. The ultimate goal of business is to make the company profitable and create a virtuous cycle. This is what makes a mature and successful marketing model."

"But after all that you've said, I still don't understand what your profit point is."

Qin Huan smiled and said, "I definitely have my profit points, but these are core business secrets, and my team is constantly optimizing and improving them, so I'm sorry I can't tell you for now. However, I promise that if President Yuan gives our company the agency rights for 'Wealthy Plaster,' I will tell President Yuan the complete marketing model and the final profit method, because at that time we will be partners with common interests."

Qin Huanhuan's words were reasonable and straightforward. That's the truth. We haven't officially started working together yet, so I can't possibly reveal all my secrets to you.

At this moment, Yuan Fangfang and Deng Ying realized that they had underestimated Qin Huanhuan. Although Qin Huanhuan had only been in the business field for a short time, she was a top student who graduated from Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

The new marketing model she just mentioned, "Explosive Product Customer Acquisition + Cross-border Monetization," is quite impressive. As for the profit points, that's their core business secret, so it's normal that they don't tell you.

"Knock knock knock".

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The door to the private room opened gently, and Deng Zhi strode in, beaming, and said, "I'm not too late, am I?"

Yuan Fangfang stood up and went to greet him, saying, "Brother Deng Zhi, it's been so long! How have you been?"

Deng Zhi glanced at Qin Huanhuan beside him with a slight surprise, then smiled and said, "President Yuan, I'm old and have a lot of health problems, but you look exactly the same as you did a few years ago. You're still so young and beautiful. I heard you've developed a new product called 'Wealthy Cream.' You're amazing, President Yuan."

After Deng Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Qin Huanhuan and asked curiously, "So President Qin and President Yuan know each other too?"

Qin Huanhuan stood up and said truthfully, "Brother Deng, I just met President Yuan today. Sister Ying invited me to dinner, so I had the honor of dining with President Yuan."

Deng Ying: "Everyone, stop standing and talking, sit down and let's eat and chat."

So the four of them sat down again and started eating.

Deng Ying poured Deng Zhi a glass of water.

Deng Zhi picked up his water glass and said, "President Yuan, I'd like to offer this tea instead of wine to our distinguished guest who has come from afar. I also have a request: could you grant my company the domestic distribution rights for your newly invented 'Wealthy Plaster'? Is that possible?"
