From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue faithfully restored the on-site sales scene to Su Di.

Su Di on the other end of the phone sighed: "Sun Xue, I really admire you, you are so talented in sales!"

"Don't just praise me, tell me about the situation over there!"

"I...hey! I...was so embarrassed that I sold one copy and even gave away a dozen copies in anger."

There was a hint of loss in Su Di's voice.

Su Di told Sun Xue about his experience selling magazines this week.

It turned out that Su Di went to a nearby technical secondary school with confidence, and then placed the magazine at the school gate.

Unexpectedly, no one cared about it at all. I worked hard all afternoon and only sold one copy. Later, I was chased away by the school security.

Su Di was so angry that he gave away more than a dozen copies for free to classmates who passed by, and then went home dejectedly.

The shocked Sudi felt that this method was too cheap for the sake of face, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to sell magazines.

When he heard on the phone that Sun Xue had sold out all 100 magazines in his hands within two hours, he felt a little incredible.

After learning about Sun Xue's marketing strategy, Su Di couldn't help but sincerely admire Sun Xue.

Unexpectedly, when he felt that there was something wrong with this sales method, Sun Xue made a wonderful comeback, which really impressed him.

……

Sun Xue's first sale was a success, which made her confident.

Sun Xue immediately decided to pursue the victory and asked Su Di to go to the printing factory to print another 500 copies immediately.

"Sun Xue, 500 is not a small amount of money! You have to think about it carefully! If you can't sell it, you will be in big trouble!"

Su Di still feels that printing 500 more copies is a bit too much. He was afraid that Sun Xue would smash all the books into his hands on a whim.

Funds are already very tight now. Once problems arise, the subsequent survival situation will be even more severe.

"Su Di, listen to me! I'm sure of it!"

Sun Xue said confidently.

There is less than a month until the holiday. She must take advantage of this time to promote the magazine to various schools. As long as it can become a hit in Quancheng City, the magazine will have a chance to survive.

Sun Xue's decision was undoubtedly correct.

It was her decision that successfully allowed the magazine to survive. Without this vigorous promotion in Quancheng City, the magazine's survival would have been difficult, and it would have even died midway.

……

Soon, Sun Xue sold out all 500 magazines sent by Su Di.

Sun Xue followed the same pattern and added another 500 copies.

This sales strategy was a huge success.

In less than a month, Sun Xue promoted it to almost all technical secondary schools in Quancheng City and sold more than a thousand copies of the magazine.

Sun Xue also asked Su Di to copy her sales strategy and asked Su Di to ride his Yamaha motorcycle to various schools in Shanghai to promote it.

However, the feedback from Su Di is still not optimistic. Su Di only sold less than 200 magazines.

Su Di described the entire sales process to Sun Xue in detail. After listening, Sun Xue didn't find any fatal problems, but he just didn't know which part of Su Di's sales had problems, and the effect was not good.

This incident also puzzled Sudi.

Later, Su Di made a rough estimate and found that the first issue of the magazine basically did not lose money. This result is already quite difficult!

Of course, this is entirely due to Sun Xue's contribution.

……

As soon as the winter vacation began, Sun Xue immediately started preparing for the next issue of the magazine.

Because of Sun Xue's marketing strategy, Sun Xue continued to receive manuscripts from students in various technical secondary schools in Quancheng City.

Some asked her to help read manuscripts, and some were rushing to submit manuscripts to magazines.

Before the winter vacation, Sun Xue had accumulated fifty or sixty manuscripts.

Sun Xue told Su Di about this situation, and Sun Xue wanted to take advantage of this holiday to seriously prepare the new issue of the magazine. As soon as the vacation is over, the new issue of the magazine will be delivered to the students immediately.

Su Di was very supportive of Sun Xue's idea. But here comes the problem again: if the articles in a magazine all come from the same city, it’s still a bit embarrassing!

However, it is already holiday now, and the students have all gone home. Even if they go to other schools to collect the manuscript, it is too late.

The two were at a loss as to how to solve this embarrassing problem.

However, in Sun Xue's view, there are always more methods than difficulties, and there will always be a solution.

After analysis and judgment, Sun Xue felt that the two magazines that technical secondary school students like to read most are "Youth Digest" and "Reader".

Sun Xue immediately decided to place advertisements calling for submissions in these two magazines.

Sun Xue asked Su Di to contact the heads of the two magazines immediately.

Sudi contacted the heads of these two magazines through editors he knew. Finally, I made the simplest call for papers in these two magazines at a very low price.

In those days before the Internet, advertising in newspapers and magazines was the best way to promote your business.

Not long after the call for papers was published, Sun Xue began to receive manuscripts from technical secondary school students across the country.

She immediately informed Sudi of the good news.

After hearing the good news, Su Di excitedly said to Sun Xue on the phone:

"Sun Xue, I have decided that I will go to your city this holiday, and we will discuss together to prepare a new issue of the magazine."

Hearing Su Di's excited voice on the other end of the phone, Sun Xue was not happy at all.

Sun Xue knew that Su Di grew up in a wealthy family in a big city. If he really came to Quancheng City, he would definitely receive Su Di well. After all, Su Di took great care of her when she went to Shanghai. Take her to visit mountains and rivers and taste various local delicacies.

However, I am short of money, and when Su Di comes, what can I do to entertain others?

……

"Sun Xue, why don't you speak?"

Sudi asked on the other end of the phone.

"Oh! Welcome... to visit our northwest!"

Sun Xue quickly hesitated.

"I'll book a ticket right away and fly there tomorrow. Give me your detailed address!"

Su Di on the other end of the phone seemed like he couldn't wait any longer.

Sun Xue had no choice but to tell Su Di the detailed address of his home.

"Sun Xue, when I go, you must take me to climb trees and hunt for birds, and also set up a fire to roast corn and potatoes!"

"Okay! Ok!"

Sun Xueqiang replied happily.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue became worried.

She didn't expect that Su Di would actually come to her city. She thought Su Di was just talking about it.

Suddenly Sun Xue felt a lot of pressure.

……

Su Di called Sun Xue early the next morning and said that he was at the airport. The plane would land at the airport in Quancheng City in a few hours and they could meet again.

When saying this, Su Di couldn't hide his inner excitement.

After eating, Sun Xue got on the bus to Quancheng Airport early.

Sun Xue on the bus had too many worries in her heart...
