Chapter 353: Being used as a gunman?
Xu Chen returned to the monitor and found that He Dachang had walked away, and only Liu Wenqin was sitting there.
"Where is Mr. Andy?" Xu Chen asked casually.
"Went for a conference call..."
He turned to look at Xu Chen:
"Rancho Santa Fe's Case, is Zhou Kai in sync with you?"
Xu Chen: "You haven't had time to tell me yet, so I told you to wait a moment."
Liu Wenqin moved slightly closer:
"Then let me set the stage for you first. If you go to contact the project side tomorrow, you may feel a little aggrieved."
Xu Chen: "Ah?!"
Liu Wenqin: "But don't worry, this is the result that boss Wang Shi wants, and he will help you settle it later...
After all, he likes your plan.
In other words, your plan is the cannonball that Boss Wang is waiting for. ”
Xu Chen frowned: "Is it so complicated?"
Liu Wenqin sighed with emotion:
“Even if you are as good as Boss Wang, you still face all kinds of struggles.
Even though he is the founder, he still faces some checks and balances and challenges..."
Xu Chen took a breath:
"Don't scare me, I just want to do an advertising project safely and don't want to get involved in trouble."
Liu Wenqin smiled: "You won't have any trouble here.
And Mr. Wang just said that you don’t have to worry about the budget of this project, it is definitely much higher than the project budget in the industry.
Isn’t it good to make money? ”
Xu Chen: "What's going on?"
Liu Wenqin looked around:
"I don't think Zhou Kai can tell you all about some situations.
I happen to know..."
Liu Wenqin revealed the mysterious temperament of an "intelligence worker" and explained to Xu Chen in a low voice.
Xu Chen listened quietly and roughly figured out what was going on.
As the founder of Vanke, Wang Shi has now stepped back behind the scenes and given the position of Vanke's "general manager" to his most trusted Yu Liang.
However, after Yu Liang took over, there were still some constraints and checks and balances on personnel matters, which have not been fully resolved.
One of them involves a director named Chen Qidong.
Chen Qidong is also on the board of directors, and even Wang Shi can't handle it casually.
In the company, there are also two or three middle- and high-level leaders who are Chen Qidong's direct relatives, and they currently have some constraints on Yu Liang's side.
For the sake of the company's development, Wang Shi needs to help Yu Liang clear obstacles, so Chen Qidong's faction needs to be cleared or suppressed.
The "Rancho Santa Fe" project is a project led by Chen Qidong, who has a high say.
Sun Man, currently a vice president of Vanke Market Brands, is a direct descendant of Chen Qidong.
It is also Sun Man who is in charge of the "Rancho Santa Fe" promotion project.
Wang Shi hopes to use the "Rancho Santa Fe" project to beat Chen Qidong and Sun Man.
If possible, Wang Shi wanted to take the opportunity to remove Sun Man.
Chen Qidong is a director and cannot be directly affected, but the vice president under him is disobedient and causing trouble every day, which Wang Shi and Yu Liang cannot tolerate...
Xu Chen was helpless:
"Then I was really used as a weapon..."
Liu Wenqin: "Who makes Teacher Xu Chen's plan better!
To use it as a gun user, the plan must be amazing as soon as it is presented.
Only in this way can the other side be suppressed, and Boss Wang will have the opportunity to speak and take the opportunity to strike. ”
Xu Chen was speechless.
Liu Wenqin smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if we are used as a gun. As Party B, as long as we can make money.
What's more, your plan is very good, and it will become a good industry case after it goes out.
From the perspective of an advertiser, I also hope that your set of manuscripts will be online as soon as possible! ”
Xu Chen: "Vincent always speaks harshly..."
Liu Wenqin: "Don't be too harsh. At least I can't write your copywriting."
He felt a little emotional:
"I have been doing advertising for more than 20 years. I think as my experience increases, the things I create will be more impressive...
But for both the Jeep and Vanke projects, Teacher Xiao Xu convinced me.
At such a young age, you are considered a genius in the mainland advertising industry..."
Xu Chen: "Vincent always exaggerates!"
Liu Wenqin: "It's not an exaggeration.
I came to the mainland from Bay Island...
To be honest, among the creative people in the Mainland, I have not been convinced by any of them. Their ideas are too old...
Except for you, Teacher Xu Chen! ”
Xu Chen joked: "If you say that, I will take it seriously!"
Liu Wenqin: "When you return to Shanghai, if you are free one day, I invite you to come to BBDO and teach our young people here!"
Xu Chen: "No, no, no, no...
I'm going to visit and study! ”
Liu Wenqin smiled and said: "As you said, I will make arrangements when you get back!"
……
Xu Chen thought about Vanke again:
"So I'm going to have a meeting tomorrow. It's a Hongmen Banquet!"
Liu Wenqin nodded: "It's probably a Hongmen Banquet.
So if you go to submit a plan tomorrow, it will just be a formality, and you may even have to suffer some grievances.
But don't worry, Boss Wang will help you find your place. ”
Xu Chen was a little helpless, but thought to himself:
For the sake of money...
……
……
During the shooting break, Xu Chen looked for Sun Amy.
This time I went to western Sichuan and snowy areas to film. She was the only young girl in Dongchen’s commercial, so Xu Chen was a little worried.
"Boss, don't worry about me. In just one day, I'm very familiar with the directing team..."
Director Bao Junsen also came over quickly:
"Teacher Xu Chen, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Amy!
There are two girls in my team, and they will be with Amy when the time comes..."
Xu Chen: "That would really trouble Mr. Paul. Girls are still precious, and the conditions in the snow area are difficult.
Amy, please be more considerate and take care of me! ”
……
……
Wu Feifei found Xu Chen alone again:
"Isn't it bad that I didn't go with you to film? Let sister Amy be alone..."
Xu Chen: "Actually no, Amy is not a young girl who just graduated, she can take care of herself.
The people we travel with are all big companies and professional teams, and Amy is very familiar with them, so there won't be any problems. ”
He looked at Wu Feifei and said with a smile:
"Miss Wu, if we bump into each other in the snowy area, I can't explain it to your dad!"
Wu Feifei stuck out her tongue:
"I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to help Sister Amy!"
……
……
In the evening, when the shooting trip was coming to an end, Zhou Kai came to see Xu Chen again.
"The business trip has been adjusted. I will send the location of tonight's hotel to Mr. Xu's mobile phone.
The return ticket is tomorrow evening. ”
Xu Chen: "Okay, thank you."
Zhou Kai: "Let me invite Mr. Xu to go down and have a cup of coffee!"
Xu Chen: "Okay!"
The two of them went downstairs together.
A few minutes later, outside the coffee shop.
Zhou Kai was holding a cup of coffee, and Xu Chen was holding a cup of hot black tea.
As expected, Zhou Kai came to synchronize the "troublesome things" behind the "Rancho Santa Fe" project.
But after all, when it came to Vanke's internal management issues, Zhou Kai was still very cautious in his words and did not reveal much.
Fortunately, Liu Wenqin had already gone through it all with Xu Chen, so Xu Chen naturally knew it well.
Zhou Kai hinted at a little information and reminded emphatically:
"Mr. Xu will attend the meeting with the project team tomorrow and just synchronize the plan.
Don’t pay special attention to some of the feedback on site. Since Mr. Wang has approved this plan, our cooperation will definitely be achieved.
Regardless of the communication with the project team tomorrow, Mr. Wang will directly promote the project later. ”
Xu Chen: "Okay, I understand."
Zhou Kai hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Mr. Xu is free on Monday, right?"
Xu Chen: "I'm already in Shanghai on Monday."
Zhou Kai smiled: "It's just right in Shanghai.
Our boss, Mr. Wang, is also in Shanghai on Monday, and we happen to have a meeting..."
He paused:
"I can't say for sure now, but I might bother Mr. Xu to make a trip on Monday."
Xu Chen: "No problem, but you need to tell me in advance that I have to make time."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Zhou Kai nodded: "Sorry, Mr. Xu."
Xu Chen: "You're welcome, it's your duty."
Zhou Kai took a sip of coffee and asked again:
"Mr. Xu, is there only one company called Dongchen Advertising?"
Xu Chen was stunned: "I do have some other businesses...
The reason for asking? ”
Judging from Zhou Kai's tone, it didn't seem like chatting.
Zhou Kai smiled:
"Our boss just asked...
I think he might want to invite Mr. Xu to join Vanke!
Mr. Wang is still a little dissatisfied with the company's market brand module now, and management positions may be released later. ”
"..."
Xu Chen was a little speechless, he didn't expect that he was already thinking about him.
If it were in his previous life, Xu Chen would most likely seriously consider it if he received an offer from Vanke for a management position.
But under the current circumstances, Xu Chen basically wouldn't consider it.
If you don't run your own company, why would you go work for someone else?
Not to mention Dad's "Morning Wind Technology", "Ranbing Sports" alone still has the opportunity to become a first- and second-tier local sports brand.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be your own boss?
And listening to what Liu Wenqin just mentioned, I feel that there is still some fighting and fighting within Vanke. This is a common problem in large companies, and Xu Chen doesn't want to get involved at all.
Liu Wenqin just mentioned that Sun Man, who was in charge of marketing brands, was the one Wang Shi wanted to get rid of.
If Xu Chen was really invited to come over, it would probably be to take over Sun Man's position.
If Xu Chen goes there, he will probably be involved in the constraints of current general manager Yu Liang and director Chen Qidong. Just thinking about it makes my head feel big.
And in terms of salary income, for a company the size of Vanke, it is estimated that the annual salary of director level is between 1 million and 2 million, and that of vice president is about 300 and 5 million...
Although it seems like a lot, it is still not as good as when Xu Chen started his own company.
It's easy to take on a few more advertising projects every year, worth three to five million. The key is to be free and casual, without having to consider the expressions of your superiors or bosses...
Faced with the hint given by Zhou Kai, Xu Chen did not show a clear rejection yet, and smiled and said:
"Mr. Wang thinks so highly of me, I'm really flattered."
……
……
Towards evening, all the footage was shot.
Director Bao Junsen said loudly:
"The spokesperson studio shoot is finished!"
Then there was a burst of applause from the staff.
Wang Shi returned to his "big boss" style, saying "hard work" to the staff around him while shaking hands one by one.
The photographer set up the machine again and arranged a group photo.
Wu Feifei was originally huddled in the back row, but was dragged to the front by Xu Chen.
……
In the evening, the filming team rushed to the airport and moved to Shangri-La in Western Sichuan overnight.
Xu Chen explained a few more words to Sun Amy. In addition to work matters, it was also a safety issue.
A large group of people surrounded him, and the spokesperson Wang Shi was sent downstairs first.
When getting on the bus, Wang Shi shook hands with Xu Chen:
"Mr. Xu has to work hard on the 'Rancho Santa Fe' project."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will definitely do my best and fulfill my mission!"
Wang Shi nodded seriously:
"Do your best and fulfill your mission...
This sentence is also very good! ”
……
……
Xu Chen finally finished his Jeep project schedule and said hello and farewell to He Dachang, Liu Wenqin, Bao Junsen and others.
Wang Shi's secretary, Zhou Kai, had arranged a separate Toyota Alpha business car for Xu Chen and was already waiting at the door.
Xu Chen took Wu Feifei and got into the car with their luggage.
……
……
The hotel is right next to the Vanke Headquarters Center and is itself a business hotel owned by Vanke.
At this point in the weekend, there was still some traffic jam in Pengcheng. It took me an hour of walking and stopping on the road before I finally made it from Nanshan District to Yantian.
Alpha stopped at the door of the hotel lobby, and the swarthy driver got out of the car to help carry the luggage.
Xu Chen politely thanked him, and then walked into the lobby with Wu Feifei.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Xu Chen asked.
"Coconut chicken." Miss Wu seemed to have already thought about it.
Xu Chen smiled: "Okay, I want to eat it too."
Pengcheng can also be regarded as a "food desert", without much local food.
"Coconut chicken" is one of the few popular and delicious foods in Pengcheng.
Xu Chen also ate a lot during his one or two years in Pengcheng in his previous life.
Looking back now, I really miss it a bit.
……
After checking in, we went upstairs. The two of us were on different floors.
Xu Chen entered the room on the 48th floor and found that it turned out to be a "presidential suite".
In and out, there is at least one hundred and twenty levels.
Sofas, tables, chairs, beds...all the hardware and software are luxurious and high-end at first glance.
Well, the level of reception is really high.
It is estimated that the room Zhou Kai arranged for Xu Chen was based on the specifications of Vanke's middle and senior leaders.
No wonder Wu Feifei was on a different floor than him, and the room specifications were probably significantly different.
Xu Chen put down his luggage and lay down on the large brown leather sofa, which was very comfortable.
I feel like this is the life "Mr. Xu" should have!
……
Near Dameisha, although it is far away from Pengcheng city, it is still an area with delicious food and shopping.
Xu Chen and Wu Feifei walked around and found two or three stores that served coconut chicken.
I didn’t know how to choose, so I chose the most expensive one.
It was also an interesting sight to watch the clerk open the coconut and pour it into the pot.
The sweet coconut water and the tender chicken cooked in it have a fragrant and delicious taste that will make people want to eat.
While Xu Chen was eating happily, he chatted with Wu Feifei about tomorrow's meeting.
Wu Feifei was still shocked when she heard that tomorrow might be a "Hongmen Banquet".
Xu Chen smiled and comforted:
“We knew it in advance, so it didn’t really matter.
Just go through the motions and act out a scene.
You can also make a lot of money from Vanke, which is a good deal no matter how you look at it! ”
Wu Feifei frowned:
"The adult world is really scary, full of fights."
Xu Chen: "Actually, the environment your dad faces is more complex, and the struggle within the system is silent and undercurrent."
Wu Feifei: “My father will never tell me these things.
But I know that sometimes he is under a lot of pressure. ”
She looked happy again:
"I just sent my dad a photo with Wang Shi, and he praised me very happily?"
Xu Chen said jokingly:
"What did you praise me for?"
Wu Feifei showed a hint of embarrassment: "Praise me for being beautiful..."
Xu Chen: "..."
