Chapter 317 It’s time to take action
Noon, Dongchen Advertising Office.
Amy Sun was busy at her workstation, mainly working on the print advertising materials for "Morning Wind Ice Power".
Photographer Tan Changqiao has sent Xie Bingran’s photos one after another.
There are still two or three pieces left to adjust, and they will all be finished within this week.
Amy Sun rushed to work first and finished modifying the two core KV materials.
For the Jeep commercial, the director team is currently working on the storyboard based on Xu Chen’s plan.
In the morning, Amy Sun had already had a phone conference with the other party and helped draw a few original shots.
Xu Chen came over after class in the morning and brought Sun Amy some food from the cafeteria.
But he seemed to be busy with something. After eating something in the conference room, he went back to the "general manager's room".
There was no movement inside, and Sun Amy didn't know what the boss was doing.
……
General Manager's Office.
Xu Chen carefully browsed several news articles, looking very serious and attentive.
"The general manager of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical was investigated, involving the licensing of Wanglaoshun herbal tea brand..."
"Private transaction of three million Hong Kong dollars, extending Wang Laoshun brand authorization for ten years at a low price..."
"Wang Laoshun, who is at the height of his power, is not owned by Jiaduobao?"
"Jiaduobao's listing plan has undergone major changes, and senior officials may be sentenced to jail..."
"The reporter learned from the relevant departments that there are rumors on the Internet about the authorization issues of GPHL and Jiaduobao for 'Wang Laoshun', which may be true news..."
"Guangyao Li Guangmin was taken away, and Jiaduobao Chen Jinru disappeared..."
……
……
Xu Chen picked up the soda water on the table and took a sip.
Things have been completely shaken out as expected.
Guangzhou Pharmaceutical has been exposed, and Li Guangmin is determined to be taken away for investigation.
The private operation involved in the "Wang Laoshun" brand authorization has been verified to be Chen Jinru, the general manager of Jiaduobao Design and Nie Fei's boss.
Xu Chen flipped through more than a dozen articles and found the three or four most original ones.
In two of them, the reporter received an email "asking about tea and wine", and may have written it into a press release after some verification.
One of the articles even directly quoted the content reported in the "Asking Tea and Cooking Wine" blog.
The other two articles directly interviewed "Ask Tea and Make Wine" and provided more detailed information and materials.
Just as Xu Chen told "Ask Tea and Make Wine", in interviews and news, he used a "pseudonym" that could not reveal his true identity.
Moreover, there is no mention of Xu Chen, an "enthusiastic netizen".
……
Xu Chen thought for a while and sent a message to Chen Xinyi from Jiaduobao.
The content of the message is very simple. It just forwards a piece of news and then asks:
[Is this true or false? Will it affect the subsequent promotion of Kunlun Mountain Mineral Water and Wanglaoshun? 】
Not long after, I received a reply from Chen Xinyi:
[Teacher Xu Chen, I’ll give you a call later! 】
After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Xinyi called.
The little girl sounded obviously flustered, even a little inarticulate.
But Xu Chen put everything together and finally figured out the problem.
Wang Laoshun's case came to light, and evidence of Chen Jinru's private operations had been found during the investigation of Guangyao Li Guangmin.
However, Chen Jinru left the mainland for Hong Kong Island last week. He has been unable to be contacted and is missing.
The board of directors of Jiaduobao Group intervened and temporarily stabilized the company's situation.
Originally, the matter could be delayed for a while, after all, the official investigation would take some time.
But I didn't expect that it would be in the big news today, and it would also make Jiaduobao's leadership anxious, and they are still urgently discussing countermeasures.
At present, the sales and promotion of "Wang Laoshun" will inevitably be greatly affected.
Originally, Wang Laoshun's authorization period was only until 2010. It was a private operation by Chen Jinru and Li Guangmin to extend the authorization period to 2020.
Under the current circumstances, contracts extended after 2010 will definitely face litigation and competition with GPHL.
So in the next three years, Jiaduobao has not made a decision internally on how to promote and sell the "Wang Laoshun" brand. After all, there are too many things to weigh.
According to Xu Chen's memories of his previous life, the "Wanglaoshun" brand was naturally taken back by Guangzhou Pharmaceutical.
After that, Jiaduobao Group launched a red can of herbal tea named "Jiaduobao", and spent a huge amount of money on promotion to stabilize part of the market...
Chen Xinyi also revealed two additional pieces of information.
The first is the launch and promotion plan of Kunlun Mountain mineral water, which will not be affected by this incident.
How it worked before is still how it works now.
After all, they are two completely independent product brand lines, and the Kunlun Mountain brand has not yet been released to the outside world, and there is no clear relationship with Jiaduobao.
And under the current circumstances, the importance of Kunlun Mountain Mineral Water within the group may increase.
After all, the promotion and sales of "Wang Laoshun" will inevitably be greatly affected by this incident.
Jiaduobao Company, on the other hand, needs another product line that can quickly boost revenue and make up for some losses...
The second thing Chen Xinyi revealed was related to Nie Fei.
Nie Fei is Chen Jinru's "direct descendant", and it is Nie Fei who single-handedly launched the Wang Laoshun brand.
After the board of directors intervened, they temporarily sidelined Nie Fei and asked her to take a "vacation".
Naturally, the board of directors acted this way out of many considerations.
When Chen Jinru is found guilty of breaking the law and has run away, the company needs to cut ties with him as soon as possible.
This division is oriented to external public opinion and consumers, as well as internal employees.
As Chen Jinru's former valued subordinate, Nie Fei naturally became the target of "cutting off".
In addition, regarding Chen Jinru's matter, the company is also conducting an internal review to see if any other managers were involved in illegal operations.
And Nie Fei is naturally within the scope of the investigation.
When talking about Nie Fei's situation, Chen Xinyi was obviously discouraged.
"This incident still has a great impact on Sister Fei.
Now she is effectively suspended, including the Kunlun Mountain mineral water project, and the company has sent another vice president to take over. ”
She paused and then said:
"But it doesn't have much impact on Teacher Xu Chen.
We just had a meeting in the morning, and Xie Bingran's material shooting at the end of the month will proceed as planned.
The marketing and promotion of Kunlun Shang mineral water will not be affected either. ”
Xu Chen: "Okay. Don't worry about the work. Dongchen Advertising will definitely complete it with quality and quantity."
Chen Xinyi: "Okay, almost next Monday, I will get in touch with the material shooting team and establish contact with Dongchen Advertising."
Xu Chen: "No problem, I will bring my team to connect with you when the time comes."
He paused and then said:
"Sister Fei, are everything okay?"
Chen Xinyi: “We actually don’t know.
After Sister Fei was suspended, she didn’t come to the company these days!
She was really innocent and somehow got involved.
We all know who Sister Fei is, and she will not get involved in Mr. Chen's affairs. ”
Xu Chen asked casually:
"The national team told me that Wang Laoshun has also signed a long-term cooperation with the national track and field team. Will this be affected?"
Chen Xinyi lowered her voice: "This...it's really hard to say.
The cooperation with the national track and field team was also promoted by Mr. Chen himself, and the negotiation was concluded without Sister Fei's participation.
Now the board of directors also has great concerns about this cooperation.
Mr. Chen signed a ten-year cooperation contract with the national track and field team, and the fee is still very low. This is quite worrying.
In fact, Sister Fei also expressed this concern to us at the beginning, saying that the cooperation signed by Mr. Chen with the track and field team was a bit too 'cost-effective', and the low cost was not normal...
But at present, judging from the board of directors’ intentions, we still hope that there will be no problems with this cooperation. After all, it will be a very important promotion resource in the future.
So regarding this matter, both the board of directors and middle-level leaders treat it as if they don’t know and keep their mouths shut..."
Xu Chen: "That's right. After all, it is considered your company's promotional asset. If something goes wrong, it will be a huge loss."
Chen Xinyi showed a hint of discouragement again:
"But these have nothing to do with us kids. We don't even know if we will lose our jobs!"
Xu Chen comforted:
"Don't worry, Miss Xinyi, you are mainly working on the Kunlun Mountain mineral water project.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
As long as the project lasts, you're safe. ”
Hearing what Xu Chen said, Chen Xinyi seemed a little relieved.
For Xu Chen's comfort, I couldn't help but say a sincere "thank you".
Xu Chen thought again:
"I happened to be going to Yangcheng on the weekend and stopped by to see Sister Fei."
Chen Xinyi: "Okay! We are quite worried about Sister Fei.
But when I sent her a message and asked her, she said it was fine, she just took a break and so on..."
Xu Chen was planning to go to Yangcheng, so he naturally considered "taking action" on Nie Fei.
The icing on the cake is never as good as the timely help.
In this case, it was time to talk to Nie Fei about "Burning Ice Sports".
And this was Xu Chen's other core purpose besides getting rid of An Jinxiong.
……
……
Xu Chen thought about it again, and it was time to take action against An Jinxiong.
At present, it seems that the cooperation signed by An Jinxiong and Chen Jinru may also have problems.
The national track and field team, a ten-year official cooperation, was actually signed for less than 2 million, which is still very fascinating.
Of course, this matter does not need to be verified by Xu Chen himself, but through Director Li Yue.
I basically tested Li Yue yesterday, and after taking care of An Jinxiong, Director Li Yue is basically under control.
Moreover, Li Yue still has the intention of "rising up", so he can sell him a big favor along the way.
Xu Chen thought about his words and forwarded a news link to Director Li Yue without saying anything else.
Ten minutes later, the phone vibrated.
I looked down and saw that it was Director Li calling directly.
"Teacher Xu Chen, you sent me the news...
This is so surprising. I didn’t expect Mr. Chen Jinru to be investigated! ”
Xu Chen thought for a while, but he still couldn't talk about things too directly, so the conversation was still a little roundabout:
"The cooperation between Xie Bingran and Kunlun Mountain Mineral Water should not be involved or affected in any way, right?"
Li Yue understood what Xu Chen meant and said seriously:
"Don't worry! I personally signed Xie Bingran's contract. Teacher Xu Chen should be able to ask the price from Brother Bing.
Moreover, after Teacher Xu Chen got involved in this project, I have always been in contact with Mr. Nie Fei.
Although Mr. Chen Jinru and Chen came over to sign later, the process was transparent and could withstand anyone's inspection. ”
Xu Chen: "That's good, just don't affect Brother Bing...
In addition, I remember Director Li told me last time that the cost of the cooperation between the National Track and Field Team and Wang Laoshun was very low? ”
Xu Chen had previously asked Li Yue about this cooperation situation in a sideways manner.
According to what Li Yue said last time, the normal quotation starts at 8 million every two years, but the ten-year cooperation agreement signed by Chen Jinru and An Jinxiong is only 2 million in total.
To say that there is nothing fishy about it is truly strange.
Li Yue replied: "Yes...
Director An personally negotiated that. He applied for a "national brand" framework cooperation from the General Administration of Sports.
I happen to be more compatible with Wang Laoshun, so I was able to give such a low quotation..."
Xu Chen paused and said:
"That's it.
But with such a low price, it’s hard not to be suspicious.
Especially, something has happened again with Chen Jinru and Mr. Chen..."
On the other end of the phone.
Li Yue listened quietly, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He fell silent and was speechless for a moment.
Li Yue suddenly understood the implications and meaning of Xu Chen's words.
The authorities were obsessed with it, but Li Yue really didn't think about it in this regard.
But Xu Chen nudged him a little, and his suspicion of An Jinxiong was like a flea on a bald man's head...
At the same time, Li Yue remembered the strange words he said when he talked to Xu Chen yesterday.
For example, "If Director An is transferred, or something goes wrong..."
It really sent chills down his spine.
Afterwards, I realized that those words meant this...
He wanted to hear Xu Chen speak more clearly, but Xu Chen remained silent.
But this silence is more like acquiescence.
Li Yue was still an old man and quickly stabilized his mentality.
He thought for a while and said:
"I know what I'm doing, and I'm going to think of a way to push it forward..."
Push for what?
The two people on both ends of the phone knew everything.
An Jinxiong and Chen Jinru are likely to operate in private.
The revelation of these private operations naturally requires someone to "push it".
Xu Chen didn't seem to understand, but he seemed to understand, and just laughed.
This laughter made Li Yue a little afraid.
He thought for a while and then said:
"I have already made a commitment to Teacher Xu Chen regarding Chenfeng Technology and Ranbing Sports.
These commitments are still valid today.
As long as I, Li Yue, am still in charge of things, there will be no problem with Xie Bingran's cooperation with Chenfeng Technology, Ranbing Sports, and Dongchen Advertising. ”
Xu Chen finally smiled and said:
"Then I wish Director Li a speedy promotion to a full-time job."
……
……
After hanging up the phone, Li Yue was silent for a long time.
Li Yue, besides becoming more and more confused about this "little Mr. Xu", also felt an inexplicable fear.
What is behind him...
