Chapter 200: Amazing
Seeing that Huo Xin was still thinking about planning for herself, she seemed to be really worried about herself.
Ning Weimin was somewhat moved and couldn't help but persuade.
"Don't worry, there is no need to worry about me. I will not be fired by Sister Song because of this. I am absolutely sure."
Huo Xin did not rub sand in his eyes.
"Why are you so sure? I don't believe it..."
"If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
Ning Weimin was indeed confident, and he then laid out the reasons one by one. out.
“Let me tell you, not all leaders are so stingy. Sister Song is a knowledgeable and broad-minded person. She understands that long-term interests are greater than short-term benefits, and she can listen to unfavorable advice. Otherwise, I won’t follow her at all.”
“What’s the business style of foreign companies? It’s not about flattery, it’s about pragmatism and efficiency. What the company is most anxious about now is how to develop. Domestic situation. Is there anything in my proposal that is not based on the company’s vital interests? ”
"Let me ask you, is Mr. Cotton here seeking cooperation? It's true that he is here to make money, but after all, he is doing it in the name of friendship and cultural exchanges between the two countries. In our words, he is here to make peace and make money. . Then you have to be good to everyone. Otherwise, if he makes us people hate him, how can he make money?"
Huo Xin thought about it, this is true, but After all, I still think it's a bit exaggerated.
"Are you exaggerating? Oh, will the people hate you if you follow the original plan?"
Ning Weimin affirmed it without hesitation.
"Of course. It's not obvious yet."
Follow him and ask Huo Xin.
“Let me ask you, our company’s showroom has occupied the Zhai Palace and has refused to open it to the outside world since then. Only specific guests are allowed to visit. Is this fair? Does it mean that the general audience will be excluded forever? "Outside the door?"
"Let me ask you again, are we the people the masters of the country? Is the Zhai Palace in the Temple of Heaven a national cultural property left by our ancestors? Oh, but it occupies the owner's house? Is there any reason in the world that the owner is not allowed to come in and visit?”
“If we go deeper, Pierre Carton uses our ancient buildings as a personal exhibition hall and gives our cultural relics to him. Move over. This is even disrespectful to our traditional culture.”
“Of course, our people may not think of this level, and now people are far from recognizing this level. There is a lack of protection for these heritages of our ancestors, otherwise we would just carve out random graffiti saying "Here we go."
"But then again. It's clear that the ticket price has not changed, but you come in and see one less attraction. Which tourist can be happy? In addition, will the common people feel that an unequal treaty has been signed here and it has become a concession occupied by foreigners? "Really?"
Huo Xin couldn't answer any of Ning Weimin's questions.
She could only answer according to the script and use the words of the leader and the information she heard from her aunt.
"Isn't that why we handle it this way because we are afraid that people will be prejudiced against foreign-funded enterprises, which will affect foreign trade cooperation and hinder reform and opening up.
"Do you know about the Coca-Cola incident? In April this year, the American Coca-Cola Company wanted to build a factory in Shanghai. However, it encountered strong resistance and had no choice but to change its location to Beijing. ”
"But even so, the bad response among the people is huge. The homophones of the song "Socialism is good" are being sung everywhere, and there is something like, 'The foreign devils have not been hit, the imperialist Coca-Cola is back.' So what happened to Zhai Palace is completely helpless. ”
Ning Weimin didn’t know about this.
Hearing Huo Xin describe it so interestingly, he even laughed at the folk wisdom. However, his views have not wavered.
“This is not a complete analogy. Coca-Cola is an old brand that existed in the Republic of China. It was once a symbol of American imperialism in the old society. Naturally, ordinary people will not like it. To put it bluntly, Coca-Cola’s brand The image needs to be re-established in the Republic, and a lot of things must be done to 'beautify' itself and improve the impression of the people. ”
"But the Pierre Catton Company is different. This is a personal brand created by Mr. Catton, which has no historical baggage for our country. On the contrary, because Mr. Catton has brought us fashion culture, the response of several fashion shows It’s very sensational. Now Mr. Caton has become a trustworthy friend of the Republic. He is using practical actions to benefit our country.”
“So in my opinion, the original intention of the park and Sister Song is consistent. The intention is good, but the method is completely wrong. Now is the best time for Pierre Carton to pursue its success and expand its good reputation to the public. If you are afraid of bad things, why should you be afraid of good things? "< br>
"As for closed operations, of course it can prevent people from going in and create a relatively clean environment. But it is unreasonable. Such a purely administrative order will not only fail to prevent people's dissatisfaction, but will actually It will cause cultural estrangement and damage to the brand. At least I will be dissatisfied."
The last sentence surprised Huo Xin.
"What? You? Are you still dissatisfied?"
Ning Weimin said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"What's the matter? I am also a Chinese citizen. Although I work for foreigners and earn foreigners' money, it does not mean that I have sold my nationality. I have to condone foreign countries. He did something wrong and became a traitor against his conscience for a few foreign exchange coupons, right?"
Huo Xin felt a little harsh.
"Why do you say it so harshly?"
Ning Weimin was very calm, with a clear conscience.
"The ugly words are often the truth, so I will do my best to correct all this. Is there anything wrong?"
"In my opinion, this matter can completely satisfy everyone. It can be To turn the secrecy into an open space, just plan the outdoor space of the Temple of Heaven into a fine art sculpture exhibition area.”
“Think about it, Pierre. How could Katon use such a large area for clothing display? Is the empty space outside these buildings wasted? It would be better for Katon Company to invest tens of thousands of dollars to hold a theme of blending tradition and modernity here. In the art sculpture exhibition area, we encourage students from the Academy of Fine Arts to participate in the exhibition. "
"When the Zhai Palace is fully opened, all PC clothes will be indoors and all outdoor art sculptures will be used. This kind of environment is in line with the requirements of the fashion industry. The artistic requirements also promote artistic exchanges between the East and the West and give our students the opportunity to display their talents.”
“If this is the case, of course the Zhai Palace can be fully opened. Expanded publicity and established reputation. For the Temple of Heaven Garden, it has expanded its attractions and has more content to attract tourists. For tourists, it also has more interesting content. Wouldn’t that satisfy everyone? ”
"As for the clean space required for the showroom, I think it should be partially enclosed. For example, the two small courtyards of the duty rooms should be enclosed and converted into a cafe or lounge. Even if you want to also enclose the bedroom, it won't be a big problem. . Because the main area of Wuliang Hall is open, the people will not be very dissatisfied.”
“If there are any important guests who need to be received, temporary arrangements can be made to temporarily close it to the public. Well. Isn’t this good?”
“In short, we should work hard to let the public see the goodwill of Pierre Carton and let the image of Pierre Carton promote cultural exchanges be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This will not only achieve the purpose of commercial promotion of the company and brand, but also allow the company and brand to gain more support and favor from the public.”
“I believe that both Mr. Caton and Sister Song should do the same. You will understand the good intentions of my suggestions and make the right choice.”
In this way, Ning Weimin’s impassioned speech completely stunned Huo Xin.
Although she still felt something was wrong and was a little worried about the outcome of the matter, she couldn't help but be impressed by Ning Weimin's idea.
I can’t help but be excited and admired for his courage and sentiment in trying to consider all aspects.
Hopefully, I hope everything goes as he expected...
