Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 564 What is the price?
Hu Weiwei thought that he was knowledgeable as he had been working in the journalism industry for many years, and that he was a leader in understanding people's hearts.
Especially as a journalist, he is absolutely adept at using routines and clichés .
However, Hu Weiwei did not expect that Zhou Dongsheng's undisguised straight ball, without any fancy tricks, hit people's hearts directly, which really made Hu Weiwei a little overwhelmed.
"Mr. Zhou is really a straightforward person. He said it without any hesitation..." Hu Weiwei's smile froze, but she continued.
Zhou Dongsheng leaned back in his chair calmly and said in a relaxed tone: "I personally don't think this is a taboo. After all, as an investor, I still agree with the basic rule of not putting all your eggs in one basket."
"I am personally very optimistic about the shared bike project. Faced with the two major projects of Mobike and Ofo, it is indeed difficult to make a decision for a while. As the saying goes, only children make choices, and adults naturally want them all..."
"So I voted for both. Doesn't that make sense?"
Although routines have always won people's hearts, sincerity is the only killer move. Zhou Dongsheng's directness did surprise Hu Weiwei, who was used to social routines.
However, Hu Weiwei adjusted himself quickly. After all, his on-the-spot reaction ability, which he had developed over many years as a journalist, was not to be underestimated.
"That's indeed the truth. Put yourself in his shoes. If I were Mr. Zhou and had the ability, I would make the same choice..." Hu Weiwei spoke politely as usual.
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand indifferently and continued, "Of course, I also make no secret of the fact that I personally prefer Mr. Hu's project, which is why I am sitting here."
"Although Ofo is now developing rapidly and marching into the national market at a triumphant pace, I personally do not approve of this kind of quick success and instant benefit behavior. Once it pushes too hard, it will easily fall into a situation where it is difficult to take care of both ends..."
"On the contrary, I admire the spirit of craftsmen like Mr. Hu, who can be patient and polish for such a long time until he comes up with a work that he is satisfied with before putting it on the market. In terms of catering to user needs, Mr. Hu is undoubtedly doing a better job."
Zhou Dongsheng's tricks made even Hu Weiwei, who was very calm, feel a little dizzy. Zhou Dongsheng's great strength must be like that of Ziqi to Boya, making Hu Weiwei feel as if she had met a soulmate.
After all, he took the investors' money and worked hard on a bicycle for so long, even burning up the first round of financing. Even Hu Weiwei's family didn't quite understand this behavior at one point.
It’s just a bicycle, is it that serious?
Zhou Dongsheng's words, especially the three words "craftsman", hit the nail on the head and went straight to Hu Weiwei's heart, causing a sincere smile to appear on Hu Weiwei's face.
"Mr. Zhou is really a man of great insight. This bad habit of being picky is actually something I got from my father. He is a woodcarving craftsman. I have been influenced by him since I was a child, so I naturally have picked up some of the craftsman's habits..."
"That's why I love creations full of design aesthetics, so I chose to be an automotive journalist, from cars to technology, and now to designing this product..."
Zhou Dongsheng's words opened her heart, and Hu Weiwei couldn't help but sincerely share her own mental journey, with a more sincere smile on her face.
In fact, this time Zhou Dongsheng really knew nothing about this. He was just fooling around out of habit. Relying on his superficial knowledge of Mobike, he slightly praised Mobike's advantages.
Originally, Zhou Dongsheng wanted to promote the term "craftsman spirit", but because he disliked this term, he chose to use "craftsman". Unexpectedly, it hit Hu Weiwei's heart.
Even Hu Weiwei inadvertently revealed her sentimental side as a woman.
"I see. How can this be called a bad habit? This should be called inheritance! Moreover, Mr. Hu is able to bring forth something new and innovative. He is undoubtedly better than his predecessor."
"So, as Mobike is an extension of traditional culture, I have another reason to be optimistic about Mr. Hu," Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh.
This joke also made Hu Weiwei smile.
Lu Sifang couldn't help but secretly admire him. As expected, the boss really had a way of treating women. Even a veteran like Hu Weiwei couldn't handle him...
He is indeed a role model for our generation. I admire him so much!
Afterwards, the meals were served one after another, and the group chatted while eating. Even though there was no alcohol to liven up the meal, the atmosphere in the box became increasingly harmonious.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Dongsheng wiped his mouth and spoke slowly.
"Today I am inviting Mr. Hu to a casual meal. In addition to wanting to get to know Mr. Hu, I also want to add some excitement to Mr. Hu's press conference."
"For example...how about letting Papi Jiang be the spokesperson for Mobike?" Zhou Dongsheng said in a shocking tone.
After selling 20 million advertisements and donating the proceeds to her alma mater, Papi Jiang can be said to have been deified by Zhou Dongsheng and become the recognized number one internet celebrity.
With such phenomenal popularity, the newly released short video work by [Papi Jiang] directly achieved a luxurious record of over 100 million views on the entire network, and it can be said that it stole the limelight.
As for the negative impact caused by the verbal warnings from relevant departments, it has been completely eliminated, and the number of fans on major platforms has also skyrocketed.
The commercial value potential of such a popular and phenomenal internet celebrity is obviously difficult to estimate.
Although it may be impossible to create the miracle of earning 20 million per advertisement in the future.
However, the commercial value that Papi Jiang can create in the future will definitely be more than 10 times this number, and even 20 times is not an exaggeration.
Papi Jiang, who is currently in the limelight, is definitely comparable to the first-tier stars in the entertainment industry in terms of endorsement value!
And she is a first-line . How much is this endorsement worth...
Naturally, different people have different opinions. Even if it is not as exaggerated as the first advertisement, it is definitely a multi-million dollar endorsement.
The reason why Hu Weiwei held such a high-profile press conference was to increase product exposure as much as possible so that Mobike could have a good start when it entered the market.
While building your name, you can also accumulate word of mouth faster. After all, your competitors are already far ahead, and it is obviously impossible to catch up with them by following a routine approach.
At this time, you naturally have to use more tricks such as turning the drainage ditch.
Zhou Dongsheng's words made Hu Weiwei's heart beat fast. It is no exaggeration to say that the role that Papi Jiang can play...
Definitely above her carefully prepared press conference!
It’s not that Hu Weiwei is belittling herself, it’s just that Papi Jiang is so popular right now!
With such tempting conditions, Hu Weiwei racked his brains but could not think of any reason to refuse, and of course he did not want to refuse.
Of course, she was not naive enough to think that Zhou Dongsheng would give her such a huge benefit for free.
If it was really given away for free, Hu Weiwei would probably have to guess Zhou Dongsheng's motives anxiously. She looked old and ugly, so it couldn't be that he was just after sex, right?
Hu Weiwei took a deep breath and said seriously, "I can't refuse such a good offer, so what's the price?"
