Yang Mengxia also felt that it was time for his son to find a partner, so he was called back by Yang Mengxia for a blind date whenever he was free.
Ye Fan considered that several advertisements signed by Dabao were about to expire, and he would have no chance to show his face before the advertisements expired. No one would pay attention to him in a short time. So while Geng Leilei was busy going on a blind date, Ye Fan contacted Chang Guangrong's friends in the film and television industry. Filmed two computer commercials for Dabao.
In early July, one of the ads was rolled out on several local stations.
Dabao was puzzled: "Mom, why don't you put the advertisement behind the news broadcast?"
Ye Fan: "Let's take a look at the advertising effect first."
"If I represent instant noodles, the audience will be in trouble. Why don't you worry if I represent computers?" Dabao clicked his tongue.
Ye Fan said: "You have only had one work in the past few years, and you don't have much activity. Your reputation may not be easy to use."
"Just wait." Dabao was very confident in himself.
Ye Fan should have confidence in his son, but computers are different from watches. Watches can be worn as soon as you buy them, but computers require learning. For people these days, learning computers is more troublesome than learning to drive. Nouveau riche who are not short of money are willing to buy cars and watches, but may not be willing to buy computers. So Ye Fan made some preparations.
In addition to the two advertisements, Ye Fan also rented two stores in the most prosperous areas of the capital and sent two sales staff there. There were several posters of Dabao placed inside and outside the store. Ye Fan placed a few more posters on billboards at airports and highway entrances. Fortunately, land is cheap these days, otherwise the rent alone would be enough to hire another spokesperson.
Most young people in the capital have never heard of "Flowers", but young people know Dabao, especially office workers. Dabao's advertisement was shot in the prosperous R&D department. He is standing next to the desk, his arm casually resting on the computer. Office workers who see the advertisement subconsciously think that this is his normal work routine.
Ye Fan was not stingy either. The watches, clothes and shoes used in the commercials were all brands endorsed by Dabao. With a computer, he was an elite model.
The elites who looked down on domestic computers couldn't help but go in and take a look when they saw the poster at the door of "Fanhua Computer" located in a prosperous area.
Although Ye Fan's sales staff have not received formal training, they have some understanding after being exposed to it for a long time. Even if elites engaged in software development enter the store, they can still chat with people. Looks more professional than other salespeople - trustworthy!
Most of Ye Fan's accessories are made in China, which eliminates a layer of tariffs. She has a stake in the production and assembly factory, eliminating the need for middlemen to make profit margins. Her computers are cost-effective and are only used for daily office use. If the configuration does not need to be the highest, buy from her.
Fanhua Computer has more work software and mini-games than other brands, which also attracts some people. But there is a special group of people. These people are almost all female students in their twenties who are not short of money.
If a female student wants to buy a luxury watch and leather bag, her family may scold her, and if she wants to buy a car, her family may not agree. If you want to learn computers, nine out of ten parents will support you.
The computer store opened on July 10th, and by the end of the month, the sales volume in just 20 days exceeded that of the sales office in one month. August has half of the dog days. Sales were flat in the first half of the month, but increased in the second half of the month. In the week approaching the start of school, there were an average of five units a day.
Ye Fan received the sales report in early September and immediately went to the National Television Building to discuss advertising for the coming year. Ye Fan didn't ask for prime time, so the advertising fee company could afford it, but she paid it in quarters just in case.
The TV station was very happy and said that they could give Ye Fan an extra time slot for advertising.
There is no free lunch in the world. Ye Fan asked the TV station leader what he needed from her. The TV station said it wanted a batch of computers and hoped that Ye Fan could give them a preferential price. Ye Fan knew the cost of computers very well and said he could get a 30% discount.
The TV station immediately signed a new contract with her. After she left, the leader held a meeting with the advertising department and asked if there was still time during prime time. If so, he would allocate a few seconds to Ye Fan.
The director of the advertising department didn't understand why the leader did this. The leader explained that he promised to make up for her for a time slot. Although Ye Fan didn't ask for afternoon, morning or evening, he couldn't bully others.
The director knows the leader very well, and it is enough to deceive the TV station's editors, directors, and reporters. After the director of the advertising department settled the matter, he asked a friend to find out who Ye Fan from Fanhua was.
Ordinary citizens don't know Ye Fan, or have even heard of Ye Fan, but in the upper circles almost everyone knows Ye Fan. The director didn't bother to find out that Ye Fan was the daughter of the general. I can't find out if I ask more. The fact that she couldn't find out anything about her husband's family means that her husband's family is very unusual.
The director hung up the phone and scolded the leader for being a cunning person.
Leave an advertising space for Ye Fan during the next prime time. Even if you can't make friends with Ye Fan because of this, if you encounter Ye Fan in the future and find Ye Fan, Ye Fan will be embarrassed to turn people away for the sake of this advertising space.
Ye Fan knew nothing about this. After she left the TV station, she went to the bank to transfer the advertising expenses for the first quarter. The company didn't have much liquidity, so Ye Fan went to find Chang Guangrong. He had a share in the company. If the company needed money, he would naturally contribute.
As soon as Chang Guangrong heard her asking for money, he knew that Ye Fan was short of money recently, so he asked the accountant to calculate the net profit for the third quarter, gave Ye Fan's share to her, and transferred 500,000 to the computer company.
Ye Fan worked from 9 to 5 for a few days. After arranging the company's affairs, he prepared to go south with Wei Jianshe.
An incident occurred in the first half of the year. A vicious robbery occurred on an international train bound for the north. Almost all of the people involved had boarded the train from the capital. There were police officers on board the train, but they didn't dare to take action. When the police came down at the border, they robbed everything.
When news of this incident reached the capital, the police even came to Ye Fan to ask her about the situation. Ye Fan explained that he quit working last year. The police also asked Ye Fan to contact her business partners and ask them to assist in the investigation.
As a result, no one who was familiar with Ye Fan went this year. The police officer was in disbelief and asked if she had noticed something was wrong with the limelight before. Ye Fan was wrong to tell the police. She wasn't robbed just because there were so many people there every time.
Since then, the enthusiasm for selling goods to the north has greatly diminished. However, business at Xiushui Market is good. In the past two years, there have been many tourists in the capital and many foreign friends. Xiushui Market is full of individual customers and wholesalers at the end of the day. Zhang Xiaoming and his two employees are sometimes too busy to look after the store.
Ye Fan was too embarrassed to let him get the goods, so he went with Wei Jianshe. Two salespeople and Chang Guangrong's brother-in-law were also there. He went to the small commodity mall to pick up small things that students needed, and he also helped Gingko's family with some. Both of them are in the student stationery business.
When they arrived in Hangcheng, they split into two groups. Wei Jianshe and Sun Laifu's eldest brother went to the Commodity City. Ye Fan took the sales staff to the Hangzhou office to ask how the business was going. The next day Ye Fan went to Yongcheng to visit her partner.
The factory has not been completed yet, and the money invested in the early stage has not been used up. Ye Fan does not need help. Ye Fan took a bus back to Hangzhou after spending one day in Yongcheng, and then returned to the capital with his clothes.
When they arrived in the capital, Qian Xiaoru, Dong Ying and Yu Ginkgo picked out their clothes first, and the remaining items were sent to the Xiushui Market store for wholesale or retail sale.
On the 11th, the store was busy. Ye Fan and Er Bao went there. Er Bao helped greet the customers. Yu Gingxo could finally drink some water and sighed with Ye Fan: "The clothes in the south are still fashionable."
Ye Fan smiled and nodded.
Yu Gingxing put down the water glass and said: "The clothes in the south are similar in color and style to ours, but when you wear them, their clothes look foreign. What's going on?"
Ye Fan: "The pattern is good and the color is right."
"Mom, are there any more like this?"
Yu Gingxing looked over and Erbao pointed at the clothes on his body. Ye Fan said: "You bought your clothes in Hong Kong City." The customer was very disappointed, and Yu Gingxing immediately said that there were similar ones. Then she went upstairs and brought down a bag. Several young white-collar workers complained that she didn't take off her nice clothes. Yu Gingxing apologized and explained that there were too many to put in the store.
In fact, Yu Gingxing didn't expect Ye Fan to come today. She was worried that there were so many people that she would be too busy, and that the entire package of clothes would be taken away by others. There were two more people in the store, so Yu Gingxing didn't have to worry about it, so she took off all the clothes on top.
One white-collar worker has four sets.
In the past, when people were not well-off, Yu Ginkgo would advise them to spend wisely. There are many ways to make money now, so Yu Gingxing stopped trying to persuade him and the three of them bought most of the bags of clothes.
After the three of them left, Erbao helped clean up and said, "Autumn is so short in the capital. Do you have time to wear it after buying it?"
Yu Ginkgo: "One thing every day."
"Then all the good clothes are ruined."
Yu Ginkgo wanted to say that it is possible not to wash it and continue to wear it every few days.
Seeing that Erbao was tired and sweating on his forehead, she changed her words and told her to sit down and rest for a while. Ye Fan took out a piece of paper, Erbao wiped it and threw it into the bucket, then asked: "Cousin, are you busy this afternoon?"
Yu Ginkgo: "Have a good afternoon. It's not too busy now."
"Isn't that enough?" Erbao looked at the busy traffic on the street, "It's busy when people are crowded, right?"
Yu Ginkgo shook his head: "No. Many office workers don't get up until this time. The busiest time is ten o'clock."
Erbao looked at the clock on the wall. It was just nine o'clock: "Mom, you need to hire another salesperson. My cousin can't do it alone."
Yu Ginkgo: "I can usually do it alone. If you have to, you should hire temporary workers."
Ye Fan: "Ask around whose children plan to work-study. But they must be over 16 years old. If someone asks you if you are under 16, just say that your relatives come to the store to help." Yu Ginkgo nodded: "My husband is close to the school. If you know more, ask him later. It’s not possible here. Many people are envious of our business. If we put a minor in the store, the neighbors will definitely cause trouble.”
Erbao asked: "Why don't they go to the south to get the goods if they are envious?"
"It's not safe on the road when there are few people. When there are more people, it's easy to quarrel. If you forget about Wei Jianshe's sister-in-law and sister, you will cause trouble for him." Yu Ginkgo shook his head, "The people here are not as united as the people in the south. Listen. My family said that there was no fight or fight in the small commodity mall.”
Ye Fan said: "Yes. But the local leaders are responsible and personally watch the market. As time goes by, everyone gets used to doing their own thing."
Yu Ginkgo understood: "The market is relatively standardized."
Ye Fan: "That's right. Even if strangers were easily slaughtered in the past, they won't be slaughtered too much."
Erbao wanted to say something, but another group of people came in. Yu Ginkgo greeted her with a smile and said that there was a new model, but she hadn't had time to put it on the shelves yet.
Those people must be regular customers. They believed it, unpacked it themselves, and tried one set after another. I tried on a few sets of clothes that I had my eye on Erbao. Erbao said without waiting for anyone to ask: "I bought it from Hong Kong City."
"Have you been to Hong Kong City?"
Several other people trying on clothes immediately gathered around her and asked her if Hong Kong City was fun.
Erbao looked at her mother, what should I do?
Ye Fan: "Haven't you been there?"
Erbao remembered and told what he had experienced when he went to Hong Kong City to celebrate the New Year.
They could tell if she had really been there. Several people heard that she had really been there, and asked her if she had ever seen any celebrities. Erbao had met Erbao in a restaurant, but she didn't know him at the time. Only those few people after she returned from Hong Kong had their works imported into the mainland.
Erbao is not lying if he says he has seen it before. Several people chatted happily with her, and each of them bought three sets of clothes and left. Just as they left, a few more people came in, also white-collar office workers.
Erbao is wearing jeans and a denim jacket today, with a thin green sweater underneath, looking youthful, beautiful and fashionable. Several people's eyes lit up when they saw her, and they looked at her clothes to choose jeans.
Naturally, I didn't pick the same style as the celebrity, so I asked Erbao where he bought his clothes.
Ye Fan brought it to Hong Kong City. They can't afford to go to Hong Kong City, and subconsciously think that the clothes in Hong Kong City are expensive, so they no longer dislike the clothes in the store. Ye Fan came forward to choose suit jackets and jeans for them. Several people were shocked, looking like they were wearing this.
Ye Fan asked them to try it.
The weather is nice today, so many people are wearing thin jackets, which are loose and chic. One of the white-collar workers was tall and Ye Fan asked her to try on jeans with small legs. She had never been in a relationship like this before. Seeing that Ye Fan had a good temperament and seemed to know how to dress well, she believed her.
There are also shoes in the store, not many, and they are all fashionable styles that go with the clothes. Ye Fan picked out a pair of wedge-heeled shoes and asked her to put them on. The clothes and shoes are very simple, and the upper body looks like a white-collar worker in a Hong Kong TV series.
Upon seeing this, several other people asked Ye Fan to help them put on clothes.
Ye Fan put together three sets according to their pleasant figures and temperaments. The two of them got three sets, each got a pair of shoes and a coat, and the other two got two sets.
Several people gave money and left. Yu Gingxing couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, you are really good at dressing."
Ye Fan: "I picked these styles."
Yu Ginkgo couldn't help but ask: "Did you think of matching it like this when you picked it?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "No. I looked at the pattern and fabric when choosing. The pattern and fabric are all up to standard, and the upper body won't look ugly."
Yu Gingxing also wanted to buy two sets for his girl, so she asked Ye Fan to help her choose. Ye Fan hadn't seen her children for more than half a year and asked Yu Gingko how tall her daughter was.
Yu Ginkgo looked at the time: "It's time to finish homework. I told them to come over after finishing homework."
At half past ten, Yu Gingxing's husband came over with their two children.
School is on holiday today, and Yu Gingxing's store is near the school. The school is empty and there is no one in the store. Her husband takes the opportunity to take a day off. Ye Fan picked out a set of casual clothes for Yu Gingxing's daughter and a set of casual clothes for her son, saying they were gifts from him.
There were three more people in the store, and there was no need for Erbao and Ye Fan to work, so the mother and daughter drove home.
Ye Fan's house was busy, Chen Xiaohui came with her daughter and Ye Liangliang. As soon as Ye Liangliang saw Er Bao, she got up and shouted: "Sister Bao'er."
Erbao grabbed her ponytail and said, "Speak carefully."
"Don't learn everything from Brother Dabao." Dabao used to like to pull Erbao's ponytail, and Ye Liangjing often took the opportunity to gloat about his misfortune, so much so that she thought about it when his hair was pulled.
Erbao let go and waved to the child who could already walk: "Sister, give me a hug."
The child threw herself into Erbao's arms.
It is convenient for Erbao to have a car and he often drives to his grandma's house. Ye Liangliang wanted to go for a ride, so Erbao took the child with her. Therefore, Chen Xiaohui’s daughter liked Erbao and also liked Erbao’s car.
Coincidentally, Sun Laifu was on vacation today. He still didn't know that Geng Zhiqin was made angry by Geng Huihui on his wedding day. From then on, Geng Zhiqin didn't want to go back to his parents' home very much, so he asked her to come back with her children.
Sun Laifu's daughter also wants to ride in the car. Erbao asked Ye Liangliang to lead them into the car.
Dabao hadn't come back from sending Geng Leile on a blind date, so Ye Fan winked at Geng Sensen, who sat in the passenger seat just in case.
As soon as the car left the alley, Geng Huihui and Yan Weining came. Geng Huihui walked in and called "little aunt". When she saw her aunt, she glanced at her aunt with a half-smile and walked towards her aunt.
There were no surprises after Geng Huihui and Yan Weining got engaged at the beginning of the year. The Yan family bought a large flat floor between Geng Huihui's school and Yan Weining's unit as their new house. After they got married, they lived there. It was only after they got married that Yan Weining learned that Geng Huihui had a courtyard house.
The two rooms that Ye Fan left for Geng Huihui were very spacious. Geng Huihui moved the things she bought in the early years to the back room of Ye Fan's house. She also rented out the vacant house to four families, and the monthly rent was enough for two people. Daily expenses.
Yan Weining told her parents about this matter, and his parents praised her for being sensible and good at running a household. Yan Weining's mother once heard Geng Huihui say that her grandma often took the nanny Xiao Wang to make dumplings for Erbao. She learned from Yu Wentao when she was retired and had nothing to do, so she made dumplings and put them in the refrigerator of Geng Huihui's new home. Occasionally she would call her and ask her to come back for dinner. I didn’t even ask them when they would have children.
Geng Huihui's life was comfortable, and she was pleased to see Chen Xiaohui coming uninvited, so she told her not to leave at noon.
Chen Xiaohui originally planned to play for an hour or two and then go home. Unexpectedly, Ye Fan was not at home, and Ye Liangliang did not see Erbao. Now that she was back, Ye Liangliang was probably going to make trouble, so Chen Xiaohui said she would call home.
Ye Fan went into the house and called her mother.
Geng Huihui followed and asked in a low voice: "Why is my sister-in-law here?"
"Your uncle is on vacation." Ye Fan asked while dialing, "Why isn't he at your mother-in-law's house?"
Geng Huihui: "Let's take a walk and go back in a while."
"Driving here?"
Geng Huihui nodded: "My father-in-law's car. We need to use it in the afternoon. We can't stay for lunch." Looking at the courtyard, there were many people, "It's really lively today."
Ye Fan smiled and replied to her mother, hung up the phone and said: "National Day, it should be lively."
