Chapter 340 Insight and Ability
Monday morning, advertising photography class.
The one who was giving a lecture on the stage was Xue Dong, a lecturer in the Department of Photography.
The photography class of the Advertising Department does not go too deep into photography technology, but focuses on improving the aesthetics of photography to assist in advertising creation.
So the course was still very interesting, and Xu Chen listened with great interest.
"Our final assessment works also need to be prepared in advance.
So everyone needs to purchase a camera each.
In addition to the photography class this semester, there will also be more in-depth photography classes in my sophomore and junior years that will use equipment.
Our advertising class does not require a professional SLR, a Canon or Fujifilm card camera, but it does require basic aperture, IOS, and shutter adjustment functions.
I will provide you with a list of machines. The purchase cost is between 2,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan. You don’t need to deliberately pursue expensive equipment, you can choose according to your own economic situation. ”
Xue Dong paused and added:
“If you have some students who have real difficulties, you can also contact me privately.
You can borrow equipment from me privately to complete your final assignment, but the quantity will not be large..."
This is a very kind and considerate operation. After all, there are students whose families are more difficult.
Xu Chen thought that he could add a SLR machine to the company.
Currently, the materials used to shoot Chenfeng Ice Power are still rented from Tiancheng.
When Sun Amy was asked to do the graphic draft for the "Da Guang Competition", Sun Amy also used her own camera.
You can buy a SLR and put it in the company. Anyway, it will be used in future projects.
And if you buy it with the company's money, you can also get a tax deduction.
Xu Chen didn't know until he started a company that it was really "ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes"...
This directly placed demands on Sun Amy and Gu Xinxin in the company's small group
[Teacher Amy chooses a machine, and Xinxin is responsible for the purchase and reimbursement process. 】
Amy Sun is very happy:
[Great, then I will make some creative drafts for proposals, and then I can shoot the materials myself! 】
Xu Chen still had some selfish motives.
Next time I go to watch Brother Bing compete or go out for fun, I can take some photos of Bing myself.
……
……
During lunch, I received a call from Nie Fei.
Unexpectedly, in the past few days, while Nie Fei was going through the resignation and handover procedures at Jiaduobao, she had already done a lot to promote "Burning Ice Sports".
Regarding the issue of "midsole" technical materials, Nie Fei has found two domestic suppliers and one foreign supplier through her contacts in the industry, both of which can provide more advanced foam cotton solutions.
There are two domestic companies, one is Meirui New Materials in the Northern Tobacco City, which has iterative EVA foaming technology and imitation TPU foaming technology.
Another company is Wanrong Materials in Suzhou Province. In cooperation with materials science experts from Harbin Institute of Technology, it has also launched a new TPU foam material...
Overseas, it is BASF of Germany, which is the partner of Adidas midsole materials.
……
"I still have to go on a trip to look at the materials. BASF's materials are better, but the cost will be very expensive.
With our current scale and volume, it is difficult to negotiate the cost...
Therefore, ‘Burning Ice 001’ will probably have to source domestic materials first.
For Meirui New Materials and Wanrong, we need to travel to see the actual materials and discuss purchase quotations. ”
Xu Chen: "No problem, just Sister Fei will take control!"
"I'll discuss it with Mr. Xu after I actually get to know it."
"There are also design issues with 'Burning Ice 001'.
Currently there are mainly two companies, which I mentioned to you last time.
One is PearlCats Design Studio in England. Although they are based in England, their chief designer is a Chinese from mainland China and has a fairly good understanding of Chinese design elements.
I have held several famous art exhibitions in Europe and the United States before, and the main direction was the modern application of Chinese design elements...
There is another one, Chen Youjian Studio on Hong Kong Island, which is currently considered the top design team in the entire Greater China region.
I have already inquired about the prices of both companies, but they have not yet received any reply..."
"There is also a problem of team recruitment. We have some ideas now. When I arrive in Shanghai next week, I will tell you in person!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister Fei!
Come over next week and we'll pick you up! ”
……
Next week, Nie Fei can finally officially join the team, and Xu Chen is still very happy.
Following "Morning Wind Ice Power", "Burning Ice Sports" has finally begun to land on the right track.
Thinking of this, Xu Chen still felt a little emotional.
After returning from rebirth, Xie Bingran was put on the track and on the road to championship. The two commercial lines of "Morning Wind Ice Power" and "Burning Ice Sports" were jointly planned.
Today, "Morning Wind Ice Power" has begun production, and "Burning Ice Sports" has finally begun to surface.
We still overcame a lot of difficulties, but overall everything went smoothly.
Yesterday during the weekend, I also received a photo from teacher Fang Jun.
It is a batch of electric vehicles that have just been produced from the production line.
They are neatly arranged in a row in the factory building, and they look quite impressive.
I also heard that in the past two days, Guo Liang has been preparing for the direct sales store of "Morning Wind Ice Power" in Tiancheng City.
Someone has already come to the door, asking when the "Morning Wind Ice Powered" electric car will be sold.
After asking, I found out that it was on Tiancheng's TV station that I saw the news that the first "Morning Wind Ice Power" was offline.
I heard that it was produced by the former "Guangming Factory" and the city leaders cut the ribbon, so I felt that the quality was not bad.
This is considered a very good sign.
Next month, Brother Bing will participate in the Asian Games.
I hope Brother Bing will continue to make rapid progress, and that "Morning Wind Ice Power" and "Burning Ice Sports" will be able to take advantage of this momentum to sell well in the future!
……
When he went to class in the afternoon, Xu Chen specially brought four or five cups of milk tea, mainly for class monitor Min Siyi.
But usually Min Siyi is always with three or four girls, such as Su Rong and Huang Qiqi, so they bought them together.
Xu Chen happened to run into some girls in the corridor, so Xu Chen chased after them.
Several girls took the milk tea from Xu Chen's hand. They were a little confused, but they still said "thank you" politely.
Min Siyi thought for a while and said:
"Xu Great Talent, do you want to ask for leave again?"
Xu Chen put on a cute smile: "Wednesday is the only day."
……
……
On Wednesday, Xu Chen got up early.
After going to Nanmen to have something to eat, I got in my white Grand Prix and set off.
For a day trip, just park your car at the airport.
After all, driving yourself is freer and more convenient.
First, I drove to Shanghai Foreign Language School and picked up "Miss Wu" at the agreed-upon north gate.
Wu Feifei still dressed a little more formally, wearing a white shirt with a large collar and a slim-fitting suit jacket.
The straight black hair was spread down but not tied up.
She consciously opened the back seat door and got in with her backpack on her back.
Naturally, I deliberately did not sit in the "Brother Bing's exclusive" passenger seat.
Xu Chen looked back with a smile: "Mr. Wu is a female elite in the workplace at first glance!"
Wu Feifei looked a little shy, but said generously:
"I specifically asked Sister Fei, and she said that for this kind of occasion, you can dress up like this."
Xu Chen: “You are really serious and careful!”
Wu Feifei: "Of course! We can't embarrass Mr. Xu."
Xu Chen: "Miss Wu is serious...
Fasten your seat belts, we're going to hit the highway. ”
Wu Feifei: "Good boss!"
He looked full of excitement and anticipation.
Xu Chen: "You can sleep for a while first, the journey will take at least an hour."
Wu Feifei: "I can't sleep, so let's chat with Mr. Xu!"
……
……
The car soon got onto the highway.
The two were chatting together, and Wu Feifei talked about "Morning Wind Ice Power". It turned out that she also knew very well about the production situation in the park these days. It was probably Teacher Fang Jun who told her.
Of course, it is also possible that Xu Zhiquan reported it to Wu Yongming, and the senior leader told his precious daughter.
Wu Feifei was also afraid of interfering with Xu Chen's driving, so she didn't catch him and keep talking.
Xu Chen turned on the music and played several songs saved on his phone.
2006 was also the peak era of "Zhou Lintao King" pop music.
However, Xu Chen, who was reborn, had lost interest in young tunes that were too popular over time.
The playlists stored in his mobile phone all have very "uncle" and strange tunes.
Wan Qing, Wild Boy, Xiao He, Wan Xiaoli...
At this moment in 2006, it is really a niche and strange taste.
Xu Chen held the steering wheel and drove on the freeway that was not congested in the early morning, feeling comfortable.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Wu Feifei in the back row was listening to the strange songs playing in the car and couldn't help but joke:
"What the hell are you listening to?"
At this moment, a sad and strange tune is also playing in the speakers:
[Life is like that long road in the dark night, he never tells the people who pass by...]
Xu Chen just smiled awkwardly.
……
After a few more minutes, there was a strange noise from the back row.
Xu Chen glanced in the rearview mirror, and was shocked to find that Miss Wu was secretly wiping her tears.
Xu Chen was so frightened that he felt excited and asked:
"Why are you crying?"
He was worried. He seemed to have...not bullied the leader's rich daughter...
Wu Feifei wiped her tears again, put on a smile and said:
"I'm really sorry...
I just listened to this song and thought it was very touching, but I didn’t quite understand it, so I burst into tears for no reason.
You don't need to pay attention to me. ”
"..."
At this moment, another strange and melancholy tune echoed in the speakers:
"Whose father is dead, please tell me how to grieve.
Whose lover is gone, please tell me how to forget...
We are born alone, we are born alone..."
Xu Chen was speechless.
He recalled that in his previous life, one night when he was in his thirties, he had also gotten drunk listening to this strange tune.
Fortunately, my father and lover in this life are right in front of me.
I am no longer alone.
……
……
At around eleven o'clock, the plane landed in Pengcheng.
Arrival hall.
"We have to drive to Yantian District. Let's make a meal at the airport." Xu Chen said.
Wu Feifei looked around and pointed:
“I remember there was a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant over there, it was delicious!”
Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh. She was indeed the leader's daughter. She knew where to find delicious food even at the airport in Pengcheng.
A few minutes later, the two were already sitting in the store.
Wu Feifei was generous and ordered a few signature refreshments.
Xu Chen took a few bites and couldn't help but nod:
“I didn’t expect that there is such a delicious store in the airport.”
Wu Feifei: “Among domestic airports, Pengcheng is really delicious!
Then there are many delicious shops at the airport on Hong Kong Island. ”
While the two were eating, Liu Wenqin from BBDO sent a message to Xu Chen.
[Teacher Xu Chen, have you landed? A commercial vehicle has been arranged to pick you up and is already waiting for you at the exit. 】
[Just landed. Thank you Mr. Vincent, I was worried about taking a taxi! 】
……
Vanke's headquarters is in Dameisha, Yantian District. Going from the airport is equivalent to crossing the entire Pengcheng city, which is quite a hassle.
Having a spacious business car is naturally much more comfortable than taking a taxi.
……
The two finished eating quickly, packed two more cups of stocking milk tea, and then got up and went out.
Walking all the way to the exit, among the people who greeted him, an eye-catching fat man held a sign that read [Dongchen Advertising-Mr. Xu Chen].
Xu Chen walked forward with a smile and greeted the other party.
Then they walked towards the parking lot together.
……
The black Odyssey quickly sped onto the highway.
The dense and modern buildings in Pengcheng soon came into view.
I have to admit that the pure "modern urban feel" of Pengcheng, which was built from scratch after the reform and opening up, is actually stronger than that of Shanghai.
In his previous life, Xu Chen briefly worked in Pengcheng for more than a year and less than two years.
At that time, I had just left the advertising industry and joined a so-called "big Internet company", which was the only goose factory in the country at that time.
In fact, looking back now, the one or two years in Pengcheng were quite pleasant.
Goose Factory has been criticized a lot among players and user groups, but after all, it is a very profitable enterprise and a very good owner for "workers".
Of course, it is still very stressful and tiring, and intrigues over personnel affairs are commonplace.
It is still completely incomparable to the life that "Xiao Mr. Xu" now has as his own boss.
At that time, the annual salary of hundreds of thousands was considered very high and very proud. But now "Mr. Xiao Xu" can make any advertising list, which starts with one or two million.
Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no comparison.
……
……
More than an hour later, the car arrived at Dameisha.
A group of tall buildings overlooking the sea is the headquarters of Vanke.
The black Odyssey parked directly in front of a coffee shop in the park.
The car door opened and Liu Wenqin greeted him with a smile:
"Welcome Teacher Xu Chen...
The time has not come yet, Mr. Wang should still be in a meeting.
Let's take a rest here first! ”
Xu Chen took Wu Feifei out of the car and followed her into the coffee shop without being in a hurry to introduce them.
A team of seven or eight people gathered around a long table.
Xu Chen took a look and found that except for Liu Wenqin's three subordinates, the rest were director Bao Junsen's team.
I came over to give a report to Wang Shi, the founder of Vanke, and the teams on both sides obviously attached great importance to it.
When they saw Xu Chen come in, they all stood up quickly.
Bao Junsen greeted him with a polite smile:
"Thank you, Boss Xu!"
Xu Chen is also a "scene person", and he can be considered "talking and laughing" with these Hong Kong Island directors, Bay Island creative people, and 4A elites.
He pulled Wu Feifei behind him and introduced them one by one.
After all, Wu Feifei was the leader's daughter, and she had seen some big scenes. She didn't show any timidity and greeted everyone in a generous and decent manner.
But the little girl still had some inexplicable shocking emotions in her heart.
She went to Xu Chen's company for an "internship", but she really didn't expect that Xu Chen would work on such big projects and come into contact with such business elites.
Among them there are even people from Hong Kong Island and Bay Island who are very powerful at first sight.
And they were all very respectful and polite to "Teacher Xu Chen".
Wu Feifei couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Xu Chen's knowledge and ability really refreshed her knowledge time and time again.
When Xu Chen was in contact with such a person, such a company, and doing such a large advertising project...
The classmates and boys around Wu Feifei were still addicted to and troubled by playing games online, confessing their broken love, skipping classes and failing exams.
In comparison.
He is really excellent.
I'm afraid I'm so good that I can't reach higher...
