Chapter 234 Solving the Sales Problem
On the day of wage settlement, a huge crowd gathered at the village committee, making it as lively as a fish-dividing event. Village Chief Li was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat. It wasn't until 10 p.m. that the last family of peony diggers finally received their wages.
"Sigh, there are so many people. Are you getting impatient? Why don't you... stay for a quick meal!"
"I didn't have to wait long. I arrived later than everyone else anyway. Village chief, next time there's work like this, don't forget me. I have plenty of strength."
"Don't worry, no one in the village will be left behind. The big boss from the city will not let the land sit idle. Just wait and see, in less than half a month, they will turn the soil and plant new herbs."
Although spring planting is the best approach, summer planting is not unheard of. Upon hearing this, the dark-skinned middle-aged man's wrinkles stretched into a smile. After thanking the village chief, he led his wife and children away.
On Wuyun Mountain, the peony factory was operating as usual. In the city below the mountain, peony wine packets and peony wine decoctions were being tested, but sales were increasing slowly. Bai Ye and Yun Xia discussed it and decided to spend a lot of money again to implement marketing strategies.
A professional wrote a lengthy article detailing the effects, contraindications, and suitable populations of the peony wine packets and decoctions, along with various test reports. This article was published in the Jiangcheng Daily. Additionally, plastic fans printed with the medicinal effects of Baiyun brand peony wine packets and decoctions were distributed free of charge at pharmacies and major hospitals.
In the sweltering summer, handing out fans is much more useful than handing out flyers. People are always holding fans while cooling off and chatting. Some elderly people who like to take advantage of bargains even went to pharmacies and hospitals to ask for them after hearing the news.
With a good marketing strategy, sales naturally soared, but it still didn't meet Bai Ye's expectations. At this moment, as he was enjoying the cool air in his uncle's backyard, he felt guilty towards Yun Xia, who had spent money and effort on his work, and had no heart to savor the delicious melon.
"Hey, this is the 26th time you've sighed. Tell me what's bothering you... tell me so I can have a laugh!"
Her beautiful, flower-like face, radiant smile, and playful expression slightly dispelled the gloom.
"Regarding the peony root issue, sales... are a bit low. The next batch is about to be produced. If we don't come up with a strategy soon, we're afraid it will just pile up in the warehouse."
Upon hearing this, the girl covered her mouth and chuckled, finishing the melon in her hand with a large bite. She slowly wiped the water off her hands and said casually, "What's there to worry about? It's only just begun. If it becomes an instant hit like flower tea or juice, then there will be a problem. The wine packets and wine decoctions are for medicinal use, targeting people with liver disease. If patients want to see obvious effects, it will take at least a month. It's only been on the market for a short time!"
"Remember when I asked you to have people do regular follow-ups? When the time is right, do an interview video, spend a lot of money, and run an ad during prime time. With that, how could we not have sales?"
Bai Ye frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally realized, "So you had planned this from the beginning. Well, you kept it from me for so long."
After saying that, she turned her head away, as if she was really angry.
"Hey, if I tell you in advance, there won't be any surprise. Besides, the efficacy of the wine packet and the wine decoction needs time to be verified. I want to wait until I get the follow-up form to confirm the treatment effect before telling you."
Bai Ye was only pretending to be angry. Upon hearing this, he turned his head and said solemnly, "Although I understand, I still hope that if we encounter a similar situation again next time, you can discuss it with me, because... I want to share the burden with you."
Ugh, here we go again. The sarcastic tone and the atmosphere that sent shivers down my spine made the girl smile awkwardly, nod in agreement, pick up a slice of melon, and silently start munching on it.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this performance was viewed through Bai Ye's lens. He smiled slightly, picked up a slice of watermelon, and savored it in small bites.
Half a month later, the patients who had been taking the peony wine decoction initially saw results, and several hepatitis patients even went to the hospital for a check-up and found that their health had improved significantly.
Holding the follow-up report, Yunxia realized that the time was ripe and instructed Bai Ye to take action!
Carrying a camera, microphone, and gifts, they conducted a series of interviews, asking and answering questions. After the interviews were completed, they had someone edit them into a 5-minute relatable promotional video. They also spent a lot of money to buy advertising space on the TV station, and the video aired promptly at 8:30 pm.
Within a few days, 'Baiyun' became a hit again, and the sales of peony wine packets and wine decoctions skyrocketed. Many people were waiting in front of the pharmacy before dawn.
The goods in the peony factory's warehouse were naturally snapped up by major distributors. Bai Ye didn't sell to just anyone; he had his own set of standards: he wouldn't sell to those with a bad reputation, those with incomplete documentation, or those who hoarded large quantities of goods...
The various terms and conditions weeded out a large number of unscrupulous individuals. It's unclear where they found the people, but they thoroughly investigated the dealers who came to their door, leaving them with nothing but their underwear.
On the first day the girl received her dividends, she treated everyone to a lavish meal. Afterward, she distributed the dividends to Jiang Chao and Feng Jingling, who was far away in Tianjin, according to their investment ratios.
Before she knew it, it was late August. Accompanied by Jiang Chao, Yun Xia took her admission notice to Jiangyi University to register. It was a well-established university located in the city center, next to Anhe Hospital. If she wanted to go home, it would only take a dozen minutes by bus. She had already planned that if the course schedule was not too tight, she would go home to stay often.
After working for more than two hours, all that's left is to set up the dorm room. It's a girls' dorm, and no unauthorized people are allowed in, except during the registration period. This is much better than Jiangnan University.
After filling out the registration information with the dormitory manager, Yunxia swung the key in her hand and leisurely walked to the fourth floor. When she arrived at the dormitory door, she knocked on the door and asked the person inside if she could let the boy in.
"Wait two minutes!"
A crisp sound came from behind the door, followed by the rustling of clothes being put on. Two minutes later, the door opened from the inside, revealing a woman who was dressed in a simple floral dress and was already beautiful without any makeup.
"My name is Li Xinxin. The two 'xin's' are different. One is '艹心芯' and the other is '斤欠欣'. Welcome to dormitory 410."
"Yunxia, Yun is the cloud in the sky, and Xia is the summer. It's nice to meet you. This is my brother. After I finish my work, I'll go home for a couple of days and come back before the military training."
"Oh, you're a local?"
This building is newly built and its layout is very trendy, with bunk beds and desks underneath, and the floor is covered with snow-white tiles. The accommodation is much better than Jiang Chao's bunk beds.
"Yes, it'll be there in no time by bus!" Yunxia replied with a smile as she chose a window seat, cleaned it up, and made the bed.
"Great! I'm in a terrible situation. I'm so far from home, I slept on the train all night. Once everyone's here, we'll have a meal together."
"Okay, but... I don't drink alcohol, and I don't go to bars or karaoke bars."
Upon hearing this, Li Xinxin covered her mouth and chuckled, "No, it's just a simple get-together. Look how scared your brother is!"
Yunxia clung to the bed railing, peering down and catching a glimpse of the sharp-tongued face. She said, "Sorry, did I scare you? He's always been like this, just ignore him!"
After saying that, he raised an eyebrow, winked at the sarcastic persona, and then quickened his packing. A moment later, carrying his bag, he said goodbye to Li Xinxin, pulled her downstairs, told the dormitory supervisor the information, and watched her cross out that line before leisurely strolling around the campus to familiarize himself with the environment.
