Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

"Then... sir, do you have any suggestions?" Lu Jia asked tentatively.

"As for your suggestion..." Zhou Qi looked at Lu Jia and said, "Maybe you should temporarily close the business and optimize your internal management."

Lu Jia's face suddenly turned gloomy, thinking that this was simply an attempt to close down Huaning.

He stared at Zhou Qi for a long while before speaking: "Sir, you are not from Hualong, are you?"

Zhou Qi smiled and nodded, and said frankly: "Yes, I am from Hualong. I just came to see you when I passed by. Mr. Lu should not be unwelcome, right?"

Lu Jia laughed at himself, thinking that he was quite funny, asking a question to his competitor. "In business, everyone is a guest. The fact that you can come to us to learn from us also shows our strength."

He said, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"It seems that I lost this time." Zhou Qi smiled and said, "I didn't learn anything, but I gave Mr. Lu some advice. But since Mr. Lu is so humble and eager to learn, I will give you this experience."

"I still don't know your last name, sir?" Lu Jia asked curiously.

"Zhou Qi."

"Mr. Zhou, it was you who planned Hualong's recent marketing plan, right?" Lu Jia asked.

Zhou Qi nodded slightly in acknowledgement and asked, "What do you think?"

A trace of admiration flashed in Lu Jia's eyes, and he said sincerely: "Excellent. Although the method is traditional, the effect is remarkable. Especially those innovative promotional activities are really eye-catching."

Then, Lu Jia boldly proposed: "If possible, I wonder if Mr. Zhou is interested in joining us? I can provide generous treatment, and Huaning's platform is bigger than Hualong, with more opportunities."

Zhang Gongzheng and Ma Yuan, who heard this, laughed secretly, thinking that Lu Jia was really brave enough to speak.

Zhou Qi smiled and responded: "Huaning is indeed very big, but if even you, the marketing director, don't have much room to play, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything."

Lu Jia was stunned, wondering: Is there a traitor in the company?

Zhou Qi saw his confusion, shook his head and said, "Don't get me wrong, Hualong doesn't do that kind of sneaky things. I just think that as the marketing director, he doesn't know enough about the company's operations. I'm afraid there are many problems within Huaning."

Lu Jia suddenly realized that the conflicts between departments had affected the flow of information.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qi saw through this tiny detail.

Zhou Qi's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. This young man was definitely not an ordinary person.

He didn't say much, but the information he learned from Lu Jia was enough for him to understand the situation of Huaning Company.

There is open fighting and covert fighting everywhere, the team is like a pile of loose sand, and the high-pressure policy of the management makes it difficult even for talented people to display their talents.

Such an environment no longer poses a threat to Zhou Qi.

When Zhou Qi left, Lu Jia was deeply impressed by this young man and felt a special aura.

On the first day of opening, the five new stores in Haishi achieved impressive sales results: 420 air conditioners, 360 color TVs, 235 refrigerators, and small appliances such as electric kettles and rice cookers were sold in the thousands.

The total sales reached 1820 million yuan, and the net profit was as high as 527 million yuan. Every employee enjoyed a generous sales commission, with a daily income of over yuan, as if they were in a dream. They felt extremely lucky to be able to join Hualong and were proud of their achievements.

It has to be said that Hualong Electric won great popularity and huge profits on the first day of its opening.

Especially the "cut the price" promotion, which spread at an astonishing speed, and almost the entire Haishi was talking about it.

As the main person in charge of these five stores, Qiao Xuying still felt as if she was in another world when she had dinner with Zhou Qi and others at the dinner.

She had worried that opening five stores at the same time and purchasing large quantities of goods was too risky, but in just one day, the business was extremely booming and all the costs were recovered. Only then did she realize that all this was part of Zhou Qi's careful planning.

"Eat more chicken legs to nourish your brain!"

Qiao Xuying picked up a chicken leg and gave it to Zhou Qi. Noticing the gazes of Ma Yuancai and Zhang Gongzheng, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly explained, "Mr. Zhou has worked too hard. The next few days are critical. We need to replenish our energy." Her voice gradually became lower.

Ma Yuancai and Zhang Gongzheng exchanged glances with a slight smile, pretending that they heard and saw nothing.

At the same time, at Huaning Company, an emergency meeting was underway.

"Why are you all silent? What did you promise before? Didn't you say you would teach them a lesson on the day Hualong opened? What about now? Hua Ning has lost face. Come on, tell me, aren't you very capable in normal times? Why are you all silent now?"

Du Yangqiu could no longer remain calm and lost his temper in front of many middle and senior managers.

It would be fine if Huaning did not launch any promotional activities for Hualong, but at least the outside world would think that Huaning did not take Hualong seriously at all.

But now, despite the implementation and publicity of the campaign, Hualong was bustling with business on its opening day, while Huaning's eight stores in Haishi were completely deserted. This situation is shocking.

Hua Ning was slapped hard in the face by Hua Long, and now he has become a laughing stock in the circle. This kind of humiliating thing makes people feel ashamed.

Everyone present lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, for fear that Du Yangqiu's sharp eyes would sweep across them, as if his gaze could pierce into people's hearts like a needle.

Du Yangqiu waited for a while, and seeing that no one took the initiative to speak, he turned his gaze to the marketing director Lu Jia and said, "Lu Jia, you are in charge of this promotion. Tell me what happened."

Lu Jia became nervous, he knew this moment would come sooner or later.

Facing Mr. Du's questioning, he calmed down and explained: "Mr. Du, Hualong Electric's promotion method is very creative. They set up a big turntable at the door, and the cash discount is clear at a glance. In addition, the atmosphere is warm, and relatives and friends can be invited to participate to get more discounts.

This sales strategy is indeed very attractive. In contrast, our lucky draw activities are not intuitive enough and customers cannot feel the actual benefits.

Hualong also provides 24-hour free delivery service, which is also where we can’t match. In general, from promotion to sales to after-sales, we lag behind them.”

After hearing these words, the faces of the marketing director and the after-sales director immediately turned ugly. They felt that this was shirking responsibility and blaming the problem on their department.

The marketing director retorted: "Our market has always been run in a very standardized manner. If the promotion is unsuccessful, you cannot unilaterally blame the marketing department."

The after-sales director also said: "Before Hualong opened, our sales had been growing, which shows that the problem is not with after-sales service. If we give enough discounts in the early stage, customers will naturally buy in. It is unreasonable to put the blame on us!"
