Chapter 113 He knows his stuff
Fang Jun remained expressionless and serious.
Xu Chen recalled that she had solved the financial problems of the machinery factory with her lonesome courage, which directly led to the bankruptcy of a decades-old state-owned factory, and she was convinced that the other party was "not joking"...
Xu Chen smiled and said nothing more, and carefully collected his contract.
Fang Jun glanced at the laptop behind Xu Chen:
"So in the past hour, were you making plans?"
Xu Chen: "Yeah, I'm going to propose a proposal tomorrow. I have to get it done quickly."
Fang Jun frowned, as if he still didn't believe it.
She glanced at the computer screen again and saw an open document page with what seemed to be the names of several companies.
Above were the names of Saatchi & Saatchi, Mego Creative and other companies. Xu Chen was thinking about the proposal ideas, so he typed these competitors into the document first.
Xu Chen looked back and explained:
"These are several competing companies.
You also need to know who your opponents are when pitching. Only by knowing yourself and your enemies can you have a better chance of winning.
Sometimes, it is also necessary to adjust the content of the plan and the strategy of the proposal depending on who the opponent is. ”
Fang Jun had no expression on his face and said coldly:
"Did you really not do this on purpose to show me?"
"..."
Xu Chen looked helpless and said with a smile:
"Do you usually talk like this?"
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to think anything was wrong.
What she just said was actually a bit offensive.
But Xu Chen could feel that the other party was still "outspoken" because he didn't believe that he, a high school student, could handle the pitch project.
There is actually no malicious intent in itself.
In terms of looking at people, Xu Chen is not as good as Guo Liang, the "human spirit" who travels all over the country, but he has come into contact with many kinds of people before his rebirth.
After two rounds of contact with Fang Jun, I can roughly sense her approach.
Maybe it's because my family background has been so good since I was a child, and I'm really not afraid of offending people and getting into trouble.
Well... he is worthy of being the person who overthrew Guangming Factory.
But she didn't have any particular malice, so Xu Chen didn't care.
"Let's go, it's time to board the plane."
With that said, Xu Chen quickly put away his computer and packed his bag.
……
When queuing to board the plane, Xu Chen glanced at Fang Jun's boarding pass.
Fortunately, she and I are not sitting together...
The girl's look of "staring at Xu Chen" still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Economy class, crowded seats.
Xu Chen found his seat by the aisle and sat down.
Next to them were two middle-aged ladies, wearing travel agency hats, who looked like they were traveling.
"Young man is going to Shanghai, are you also traveling?"
Xu Chen smiled and responded casually.
"Looking at you as a teenager, this is your first time flying, right?"
"Oh...yeah."
Xu Chen was too lazy to explain to the two aunts, so he took out two sets of math exercises from his bag, and started doing them at every opportunity.
The stewardess explains safety instructions, adjusts the seat, opens the tray table, fastens the seat belt, etc...
Xu Chen made the adjustments easily, then ignored everything else and started working on the test questions in hand.
The two aunts next to me who were flying for the first time had been "tinkering" for a long time and seemed to have encountered a lot of troubles.
"Oh, how do you untie this rope?"
"Where can I adjust this seat?"
……
Xu Chen turned around and took a look, then helped.
"Press here and the button will open."
"Press the button on the right armrest all the way, and then sit up straight."
"The curtains on the windows need to be opened now. You can close them again after takeoff."
……
After some tinkering, the two noisy aunts finally made arrangements.
It suddenly became quiet, and Xu Chen was able to continue immersed in the exercises.
"Young man, this is obviously not your first time flying!"
Xu Chen smiled obediently and didn't say anything.
……
In almost half an hour of flight time, Xu Chen successfully completed two sets of exercises.
What he didn't know was that Fang Jun, who was sitting in the back row, had sneaked over to take a look while using the restroom.
Fang Jun came over several times and found that Xu Chen was meticulously "studying" without any slack or rest in the middle.
Even when the stewardess handed out meals during the trip, Xu Chen didn't put down the exercises he was doing while eating his lunch box.
……
After a period of turbulence, the plane landed smoothly.
Xu Chen queued up to get off the plane and found Fang Jun already waiting at the exit.
Xu Chen walked over with a smile, took out his mobile phone and sent a message back, and said:
"I still have a phone call to make, so I have to wait for a while at the airport."
Fang Jun: "Oh...work phone number?"
Xu Chen was speechless again. The "eldest sister" Fang Jun in front of him was like a little detective staring at him, even making phone calls.
"I tried to contact a colleague in the customer marketing department. I need to call first to ask about the details of tomorrow's pitch.
This is also preparation in advance. Try to know as much information as possible to be prepared and help the proposal succeed. ”
Fang Jun: "Can I listen and study?"
Xu Chen: "Of course, Teacher Fang came to participate in the project together and just gave me some pointers."
Fang Jun: "I really don't understand what you are doing. I can't give you advice..." Xu Chen smiled: "When the project is won and the other party wants to send money, Teacher Fang Jun will need to control the financial and The tax process is over.”
Fang Jun: "How much money will this project cost?"
Xu Chen: "This advertising bidding is divided into three parts: creative bid, production bid and media bid. We only participate in the creative bid.
A budget of 1.2 million. ”
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, but still showed a hint of surprise:
"Can you, a high school senior, really participate in a 1.2 million project?"
She paused and whispered again:
"And you don't have a team yet, you are doing it yourself..."
Xu Chen thought for a while and explained a little:
“Advertising pitches are about creative drafts, which can also be considered a kind of creation.
There are still some similarities with those singer-songwriters, writers, etc.
Theoretically speaking, as long as you are strong enough, you can do it alone.
Like some unknown singers who have just debuted, they can also become popular in a short period of time with their creative abilities.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In advertising pitches, as long as the creative plan is strong and can be recognized by customers, small companies also have a chance to win the pitch. ”
Fang Jun listened silently, feeling that he still gained some "knowledge" that he had never heard before.
Xu Chen added:
“I really can’t participate in the production of logos and media logos.
That requires the company to have a production team, a media purchasing team, etc. It is impossible for one person to handle it. ”
"That's it."
Fang Jun nodded and said.
At the same time, she has also realized that the senior high school student in front of her is indeed "knowledgeable".
Just the knowledge he mentioned about the advertising industry is beyond what a layman can know.
Xu Chen can't lie when he answers questions on the spot.
If you don’t know him, you really have to get this project done...
Fang Jun frowned, his expression a little complicated.
……
They both had just a backpack and had no luggage to pick up, so they walked towards the terminal together.
Fang Jun: "I see you were doing questions on the plane."
Xu Chen: "The college entrance examination is next month, so I still have to take the time to review."
Fang Jun: "Your family is considered powerful, and you can even start a company yourself...
Why study so hard? ”
Xu Chen: "I actually don't work that hard, but now there is only one month left before the college entrance examination, and the cost-effectiveness of studying now is very high.
Now I will remember every question clearly. If you pass the exam, you will earn money! ”
Fang Jun: "If you can start your own company now, you don't have to go to a good university, right?"
Xu Chen: “I have so many skills that I can’t overwhelm myself...
My family has a company, which doesn't stop me from wanting to get into a good university.
Being able to attend a good university gives me an extra platform and protection.
A good university can provide you with vision, connections, and future social resources.
Maybe it can help my dad’s business in the future.
To be more pessimistic, if my dad's business fails, it will be easier for me, a graduate of a good university, to find a job.
If my dad dies, I have to be able to support him..."
Fang Jun listened silently, and his expression changed slightly on his always expressionless face.
"Of course, I didn't work particularly hard or study particularly hard.
I just put in the appropriate amount of energy within a controllable and comfortable range. ”
Fang Jun was silent for a while and then said:
"There are many people around me who have good family conditions, but they don't work as hard as you.
They only think about relying on their families and parents.
Not even like you, who considers your family and parents carefully..."
She paused and then said:
"You are so young, but you are...different from the people I know."
Xu Chen said nothing more.
He pondered over Fang Jun's words and seemed to understand some of the reasons for her thoughts...
Fang Jun's attitude obviously changed, he turned around and said:
"Is this your first time in Shanghai?"
Xu Chen thought for a while and realized that this was indeed his first time in this life for himself at the age of eighteen.
Although I had been on business trips many times before my rebirth...
"Yeah, it's my first time to go out so far."
Fang Jun: "I'll take you to dinner later. I've traveled to Shanghai several times, so I'm quite familiar with it."
Xu Chen: "That's great."
Thinking about it, I am an "18-year-old high school student" and Fang Jun, who is seven years older than me, should treat myself as a child who has never traveled far...
Fang Jun: "I see that Mr. Xu sent me my itinerary and I will pitch the manuscript tomorrow, but you won't go back until after tomorrow.
If you want to have some fun in Shanghai the day after tomorrow, I can also take you there. ”
Xu Chen: "No need, Teacher Fang, I have some arrangements of my own the day after tomorrow."
Fang Jun: "That's fine, just tell me if you need anything."
Xu Chen smiled obediently:
"Okay, thank you sister Fang Jun!"
……
Hudong Airport is much more spacious than the airport in the provincial capital where we came from.
The two walked around and came to the Starbucks in the airport.
Xu Chen did not follow Fang Jun into the store, but looked up at the TV hanging outside the store.
On the TV, there is news from the sports channel, which is broadcasting the warm-up report of the "National Youth Track and Field Championships" during the May Day period.
Regarding Xie Bingran, Xu Chen smiled and looked up carefully.
