Volume 5: Blossom and Fruit 2018 Chapter 898
"Chairman Jay really opened my eyes today. I am really old and can't keep up with the times. I didn't expect that I could easily sell so many mangoes in the field in such a way!"
"Thanks to Mr. Jay, the fruit farmers can have a good harvest this year!" Zhao Youde said happily.
The fruit farmers who had witnessed Zhou Dongsheng's entire sales process with curiosity couldn't help but feel that this matter... seemed a bit too simple?
If it were so easy to sell fruit online...
So it seems that they can do it? After all, it’s just selling in front of a mobile phone, how difficult can it be…
There are even many people who feel that this novel form reveals a sense of familiarity inside and out. Isn't it exactly the same as the TV shopping that was popular all over the country through television back then?
Some of those who are quick-witted have already started to make their own plans.
Obviously, Zhou Dongsheng's personal demonstration not only solved the urgent problem of unsaleable products, but also allowed fruit farmers to see the new possibility of opening up a new sales channel.
The so-called extreme efforts lead to the pursuit of change. This is one of the main reasons why they became fruit farmers back then. They made the right choice at the crossroads of fate, and thus step by step created the golden signboard of Huaping mango today.
This has also benefited them, and their living standards have been continuously improved. With everything that is happening today, many fruit farmers can't help but have subtle changes in their hearts...
Obviously, they are once again standing at the crossroads of fate, and it is still unknown what choice they will make this time.
But compared to the determination when they had nothing and chose to blaze a trail with courage and solitude, most people today would probably not choose such a radical option.
Most of the time, brave people are always a minority, which is why the rewards for the brave are so generous.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it weren't for the widespread spread of Principal Zhang's personal deeds and the media's coverage, which allowed Huaping to receive a lot of attention, this live broadcast would not have been so successful..."
"So, we have to thank Principal Zhang."
Zhou Dongsheng's real achievements are already established and are a fact that everyone can see. Naturally, no one can take away this credit.
Therefore, there is naturally no need to take credit for yourself. Words of praise should come from other people's mouths, which will sound particularly pleasant. It will be boring if you say them yourself.
"Well, let's put this matter in perspective. Principal Zhang has worked hard in our Huaping area for more than 40 years. Her contributions are naturally remembered by the villagers, but Chairman Zhou is different..."
"He traveled all the way to Huaping to help us solve the urgent problem of mango sales. This is undoubtedly timely assistance. I specially reported this to the secretary..."
"The secretary solemnly expressed his gratitude to Mr. Zhou, so he hopes that Mr. Zhou can do him the honor of having a simple meal tonight."
At the end, Zhao Youde emphasized and conveyed the meaning . Obviously, after Zhou Dongsheng's series of combined punches, the local top leader who was originally on the sidelines could no longer sit still.
There were still reasons to shirk before, but now that Zhou Dongsheng has shown his real sincerity, if he still doesn't express anything, then that would be the local people's problem.
What's more, with Zhou Dongsheng's current status, let alone being the top leader of the city, he is more than capable of dealing with the province.
But the problem remains. In China, a country that values human relationships and worldly wisdom, the foundation obviously needs to be accumulated step by step.
Even if money can make anything possible, it is impossible to easily subvert the iron law of "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans". After all, this is undoubtedly the foundation of a country.
No matter how powerful one's financial power is, it is obviously no match for One Punch Man's iron fist. Otherwise, why would the position of the richest man be so hot?
Ahem, let’s get back to the topic. Zhou Dongsheng naturally had no reason to refuse.
After all, the results of this live broadcast of selling goods are certainly gratifying, but it is ultimately just a one-time deal. If it is just a one-time hit and there is no follow-up, wouldn’t it be a waste of all the effort?
On the contrary, using such a gold brick as a stepping stone is naturally for a more long-lasting and in-depth cooperation.
Even if one is seeking fame, one should pay attention to long-term sustainable development rather than a one-time deal where one makes a success and then moves to another place. Otherwise, one will become like a rootless duckweed, fleeting.
"In that case, I'd be honored to accept it. I can take this opportunity to discuss future cooperation with my leader..." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
Zhao Youde was shocked when he heard this, "Okay, I will definitely convey Chairman Zhou's meaning."
"By the way, since this is just a casual meal, it shouldn't be a problem for me to bring these guys along. After all, even if they haven't made any contributions, they have worked hard. In addition, we need them to follow up on future related cooperation, and I can't keep an eye on them all the time..."
Zhou Dongsheng said naturally.
Now that things have come to this, we have to give this face even if we don’t want to. Otherwise, how can there be any subsequent cooperation?
For this reason, Zhao Youde naturally followed suit, "It's my duty. I was too excited and lacked consideration. I apologize to you all. The leader's original intention was to reward everyone..."
Afterwards, Zhao Youde rushed back to the city without stopping to make preparations for this matter. After all, if he wanted to go one step further and remove the title of deputy, he naturally had to seize this precious opportunity.
As soon as Zhao Youde left, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious. After all, dealing with officials does bring some psychological pressure.
What's more, for many people, Zhao Youde is undoubtedly the highest-level leader they have ever seen.
"Good boy, I almost lost this time. It's true that you should look at people with new eyes after three days of absence. Your business ability has improved by several levels."
On this side, Zhou Dongsheng did not hesitate to praise Li Jiaqi. After all, with such a trump card with a very high upper limit, he naturally had to cultivate him well.
"I'm still far behind my boss. I have to watch his live broadcast replays and learn from them when I get back. I want to learn from his strengths and make up for my weaknesses..."
Li Jiaqi said quickly, a sincere smile spreading across his face.
"It feels good to use your own abilities to help others, right? As for charity live broadcasts, our group will continue to do so unwaveringly and use our influence as much as possible..."
"After all, the most important thing for us as human beings is not to forget our roots and how we got here."
Zhou Dongsheng put his hands on his hips and spoke in an air of being a mature man. It was a bit abrupt for such meaningful words to come out of the mouth of a young man in his early twenties.
However, the people present obviously did not think so, and nodded in agreement.
After this event, not only Zhou Dongsheng, but also everyone present was deeply inspired. They had a different perspective on public welfare and gained a different sense of accomplishment from it.
This sense of accomplishment has little to do with money. It is simply the spiritual satisfaction of being able to help others solve a big problem.
Perhaps this is the reason why they say when you give someone a rose, the fragrance lingers on your hands.
Money is certainly a necessity in life, but if you blindly pursue the idea that money is the only thing that matters, whether you can get what you want is one thing, but it is more likely that you will be alienated by money before you even get it.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.
Do not go gentle into this abyss.
At the same time, as the live broadcast of selling goods came to an end, a group of people went to the city to receive the warm hospitality of the local celebration banquet.
The subsequent impact of this live broadcast is still fermenting. In the past, there was the story of Principal Zhang, who was alone and burned half his life to illuminate the educational path of students in the mountains.
Later, a billionaire personally stepped forward to promote the local fruit farmers in Huaping. The general public applauded and donated generously to help the local fruit farmers solve the urgent problem of unsalable mangoes, so that the fruit farmers could have a good New Year in advance...
Such highly topical and positive material is exactly the kind of publicity that all major media outlets are longing for. Now that the traffic is right at their fingertips, why wouldn't they take advantage of it?
For this reason, many media outlets, naturally unwilling to lag behind, picked up their pens and began to write extensively, spending a lot of time and effort to publicize this matter.
Especially Zhou Dongsheng's repeated actions have clearly stated his position. Such a young and promising grassroots role model is a rare propaganda benchmark and a rare value orientation...
There is no reason not to promote such a positive example of someone who never forgets his original aspirations.
What’s more, it is true that the news media is a mouthpiece, but don’t forget who this mouthpiece refers to…
As the saying goes, there is no wind without waves. After all, the direction of public opinion is transmitted one level at a time and finally blows to the general public.
When Zhou Dongsheng worked hard and finally proved himself with his actions and sincerity, the so-called rewards would naturally begin to show up inadvertently...
Judging from the fact that many media have spared no effort to deify Zhou Dongsheng and portray him as a role model, this is undoubtedly a good start.
After all, when you clench your fist, it is an iron fist, but when you spread your hand, it can act as an invisible pusher, adding fuel to the fire from behind.
There is a lot of knowledge involved in pushing and pulling.
With Zhou Dongsheng as a typical example and a good example, we can take this opportunity to vigorously promote this kind of behavior. After a while, it will eventually become a so-called social trend.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This matter must be done step by step.
As many media outlets acted as mouthpieces of public opinion and spread this trend across the country, the thinking of those with a keen sense of smell naturally became active.
As the saying goes, each generation has its own god. Once the version trend changes, one naturally has to follow the version. If one goes against the version, not only will he get half the result with twice the effort , it may even have a counterproductive effect.
From Liuzhou snail noodles to Huaping mangoes, the repeated strong responses are enough to prove the feasibility of this path .
Zhou Dongsheng has already made a good start, so even if we just copy others, we will probably be able to achieve certain results. Even if we adopt a prudent approach that does not seek credit but avoids mistakes, we have to follow the trend, right?
Some people are still waiting for the wind to come, while some have already taken the initiative and chosen to come to your door and invite you warmly. Who doesn’t have some local specialties to develop?
As the saying goes, if you live by the mountain, you can eat the mountain; if you live by the water, you can eat the water. If you have special products, you can develop them; if you have cultural heritage, you can develop cultural heritage. If you really don’t have anything to show off, you can just hang a title of "Internet celebrity" and create Internet celebrity style and characteristics...
There is no doubt that this trend has begun to spread from top to bottom and from inside to outside, and Zhou Dongsheng is undoubtedly the butterfly in the eye of the storm, slowly flapping his wings and constantly exerting his influence.
However, with Zhou Dongsheng's financial and physical support, the local issues in Huaping have undoubtedly come to a temporary end.
Although the sales channel has been solved, the mangoes are still on the trees. Subsequent matters such as picking, packaging and express delivery will be enough to keep the local people busy for a while.
After all, as the New Year is approaching, if you want to have a good year, you naturally need to resolve this matter before the New Year.
This kind of heavy workload can only be solved by labor, there is no other way.
Naturally, Zhou Dongsheng could do nothing to help with this.
Of course, the most important thing is that it is time for the annual, popular "Let's talk about it after the New Year" segment.
No matter how big the problem is, it cannot stop the Chinese people from celebrating the New Year.
The phrase "it's the New Year" can resolve most conflicts, while the phrase "let's talk about it after the New Year" can naturally push everything off until after the New Year.
All in all, nothing is more important than the Chinese New Year. After all, for many people, this is one of the few, or even the only, chance to reunite with their families in a year.
At the same time, this is also the moment of harvest after a year of hard work. Whether it is the year-end bonus or the annual meeting, it is enough for many people to have a good year.
Dongsheng Group is naturally no exception. To some extent, the annual meeting is undoubtedly an opportunity to "reward the troops."
If you want the horse to run, you must feed it grass. This simple and easy-to-understand principle also applies here.
Only when the rewards are in place can people be willing to work for you. In addition, the invisible and intangible morale is undoubtedly a key factor affecting success or failure.
After all, the business world is like a battlefield. If people’s morale is low, it will be hard to lead the team.
Zhou Dongsheng was naturally well aware of this. After all, he .
Now it’s my turn. I can’t become a negative example of “a brave man will eventually become a dragon”, right?
Being so generous in external charity activities, there is no reason why they would become so stingy when it comes to internal charity.
For this reason, Zhou Dongsheng was naturally generous and gave an order to arrange the annual meeting according to the highest standards in the industry.
After all, in addition to enhancing cohesion, the annual meeting is also one of the few opportunities to win people's hearts.
In order to win people's hearts and convey the idea that they and their employees are on the same front and that everyone is a family, even big guys like Lao Wang and Xiao Ma who have been in the battlefield for many years are not stingy in showing their talents on the stage!
To this end, Zhou Dongsheng naturally followed suit and continued to implement his style of integrating himself with the masses, and all employees of the group were naturally included in this category.
