Ye Huayu had said so much, Chu Zhishui really couldn't stay any longer.

It happened that Xintou Video was about to launch a new event, and the Guanju had quickly adjusted the design of new products after collecting opinions from the direct-operated stores. Chu Zhishui also had to go back to Huaijiang to prepare. She then ordered a plane ticket and returned with Xin Yunmao. When

Ye Huayu heard the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and was in a very happy mood for a while. He kept his promise to help Huaijiang Economic Development Department monitor the store, and even made a peacock stand at his own expense and placed it at the door of the store.

Du Zigui took a photo of the store entrance to Chu Zhishui and told her that everything was fine in the direct-operated store, so that she could stay in Huaijiang with peace of mind.

Chu Zhishui was dazzled by the flashy peacock stand in the photo, but she had already returned to the Huaijiang Bureau and couldn't comment on Director Ye's aesthetics.

In Longzhi Company, the stalemate between Guanju direct stores and the company's collection stores has forced the account funds to continue to decrease, which has put pressure on the senior management.

"Mr. Li, if we continue like this, the pressure on internal funds will be too great. In addition, Xintou has activities again. If we want to compete with them for traffic, we will inevitably have to spend a lot of money."

"That's right, and Xintou doesn't have collection store business. They arrange merchants to open stores to help promote. If there is a real situation, it will be more flexible." Someone said, "Collection stores have a driving force on the company's data, but the subsequent quality control and management are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not a long-term solution."

Guanju direct stores only sell products of their own brand, but Longzhi collection stores are multi-brand collections. It sounds more powerful, but it is also difficult to operate.

Li Longke was silent for a long time. He rubbed his palms and made a decision: "Persist until the next Xintou event is over. As long as we make our data look good this time, we will gradually raise prices or close stores on a large scale."

"Ah?" Someone said in surprise, "But some stores have just opened, and several are in preparation."

"Then continue to operate, which is conducive to the evaluation of financing. Close the stores after the financing is over."

Crazy opening of stores and then closing them all at once will have an impact on many people's jobs. The only benefit is that more financing can be obtained through the collection store plan. Everyone

looked at each other. Even though they knew that this was an attempt to raise money to save the company, they were still surprised by Mr. Li's idea. Perhaps it is difficult for everyone to empathize with the pain of others. The executives sighed in their hearts, but did not say anything to stop it.

Not long after, the Xintou National Brand Special Offer Festival kicked off. As one of the key stores, Guanju will launch new products online on this day after extensive publicity in the past few months.

These products were only available in direct stores in the past, but now they are being introduced and updated, and more highlights are being innovated based on customer feedback.

Chen Zhuhui recently used accounts on various platforms to cooperate with Xintou to warm up the National Brand Special Offer Festival.

[Guanju: Thank you for your patience. After months of new product research, the flavored ginger and ginseng soup packs will have new flavors for selection. There is also the long-awaited "No matter how hard life is, you must raise ginseng" drink pack for the first time. Please pay attention to the details of the event. ]

[Oh my god, I finally don’t have to buy shredded ginger for the agent. The postage is almost as much as the snack money. ]

[There are more flavors than the direct-sale store! The soup packets are now available in four seasons! ]

[Why are there no fake green tea drink packets? I want to drink that one more. ]

[Observer: I’m really sorry. In order to ensure that the drink packets taste the same as the drinks in the direct-sale store, the company’s R&D team has been working overtime and working themselves to death. However, due to the scarcity of raw materials, it is difficult to ensure that the fake green tea has the flavor of the direct-sale store’s freshly brewed tea, so it is temporarily unavailable. ]

[As expected, the fake green tea costs as much as twelve yuan. It is the most expensive drink in the store and is difficult to replicate. ]

[I have always been curious, can you make money? ]

[Indeed, the ingredients I buy at the market to make soup are more expensive than the soup packets, so now I just unpack them, buy half myself and use the other half from the soup packets, it’s so delicious. ] [

Guanju: Small business, small profits but

quick turnover, it’s your support that keeps us going~] In the Economic Development Department, Chu Zhishui casually checked Guanju’s Weibo and was quite surprised to see the official reply, especially the sentence “The company’s R&D team has been working overtime and their hair is bald”, could it be that Walter White’s roots have fallen off?

She put away her phone and looked up to ask Jin Yu: "Have you contacted the factory?"

"No problem, I informed them in advance, and the production and delivery can keep up."

"That's fine, the discount is big this time, and the early publicity is strong, maybe there will be a big order."

Since the opening of the Guanju Direct Store, Xintou Video has been promoting traffic, and the National Brand Special Offer Festival is a good opportunity to realize it. Once Xintou refreshes the data again in this event, Qi Chang will completely take over Li Longke's right to speak, at least the main investor Luying Group will make a judgment.

But these mundane matters have nothing to do with Chu Zhishui. Anyway, she will cooperate with anyone who offers her the opportunity, but unfortunately the other party is unwilling to give her preferential conditions for her to make money.

On the day of the New National Brand Special Offer, Wang Yiwen and others arranged a lot of activities, including online screen warm-up and celebrity anchors bringing goods, offline in-depth cooperation with the on-site evening party, and placing a QR code in the lower right corner of the TV program for the audience to scan.

In the National Brand Special Offer live broadcast room, the celebrity anchors will introduce one by one, and Guanju's new products are on the list.

The celebrity anchor picked up the ginseng soup bag and smiled: "Okay, everyone has been urging me, and now it's finally this brand. Guanju's new soup bag, the direct store originally only had the spring version, in fact, I had already stewed it last night, and I like the newly launched summer version more..."

[The summer version is heresy! The spring version is the best! ]

[Does this store still have discounts in the live broadcast room? I just remember that it's cheap and big, and I don't even look at the discount when I buy from this store. ]

[It should not be a store discount, but a joint discount of Xintou. The online and offline prices are the same.]

[Oh my god, my hand speed is not fast enough, I missed the small gift of the first 50,000, crying.]

[It got stuck when I clicked it, can I have a second?]

After a live broadcast of the National Brand Special Offer Festival, the "No matter how hard life is, you must raise ginseng" drink packs reached 100,000+ sales, the ginseng stew soup packs (four seasons version) reached 80,000+ sales, and the flavored ginger shreds also had 50,000+ sales. The products in the live broadcast room are quite outstanding!

This is just the live broadcast room. More buyers do not squat on the live broadcast, silently rush to grab the goods, and pay directly as soon as the Guanju online store is put on the shelves.

At the end of the all-day event, the sales of ginseng drink packs exceeded 500,000+, ginseng soup packs exceeded 300,000+, and flavored ginger shreds exceeded 200,000+. The new products also boosted the sales of old products. The scalp nourishing cream has been popular for a long time and also broke the 200,000+ sales mark. The remaining flavored ginger candy and ginseng foot bath powder also sold well.

Although the product pricing is extremely low, it cannot stop the surge in sales. In total, the net profit exceeded 20 million! Compared

with the size of Guanju's company, this amount of money is no less than an astronomical figure, not to mention that it was only on the day of the event, and there will be a steady stream of income from the new products!

Other companies have many employees and a large scale, and their products are priced as high as two or three hundred, so they may be able to make such an amount. Guanju's small and beautiful model has also sparked discussions in the industry. Although the small company is not conspicuous, it is really making money like crazy, relying on affordable products, and has not raised prices so far.

There is no problem with quality control, and the price is also affordable. As long as the Guanju brand is well-known, it can still survive after getting rid of Xintou.

Xintou Video relied on the performance of the National Brand Special Festival to easily obtain the company's first round of financing, and was given high hopes by the industry.

Compared with Longzhi Video, their profit model is clearer, and their success cases are convincing. They can promote the little-known Guanju, and they have also received support from the local poverty alleviation policies of Huaijiang City. It seems that the future is much brighter.

In Yinhai City, Li Longke has been restless in the company recently. He tore the report in his hand into pieces and threw it into the trash can in a rage.

Longzhi launched a similar activity against Xintou, but after a large-scale store promotion, the activity data was barely tied with Xintou. In this battle, as long as Longzhi does not win with high data, it will be a complete loss, and the investment costs are different.

Li Longke has been contacting investors recently, but the other party has been vague or directly hit a wall. The main circle believes that Xintou’s system is healthier, and Longzhi is like a strong bow.

Some people still want to acquire Longzhi at a low price and persuade Li Longke to withdraw early, but this is a fight that cannot be won.

How can he withdraw at a low price?

He had invested his own money in the last round of financing, so he couldn't sell his shares at a low price at this time!

Someone knocked softly on the door outside the office.

Li Longke said irritably: "Come in."

"Mr. Li, the event has just ended, and there are some problems with after-sales. Our data on the day of the event was very good, but recently there have been customers complaining about delivery and quality control. Some brands may have..."

"Am I the customer service of the online store? I have to solve this kind of problem!?" Li Longke said angrily, "How come you can't even handle such a small matter!?"

"But we were the one in charge of the collection store at that time..."

Li Longke slammed the table angrily: "Then just close the store! This is not the urgent thing now. The important thing is that there is no money in the company account!"

"...Okay, then we will go down and deal with it."

According to Li Longke's plan, as long as Longzhi defeats Xintou in the event, a new round of financing will come in smoothly, which will then alleviate the company's capital chain problem.

However, Xintou successfully raised funds through the National Brand Special Offer, and the investors that Longzhi had originally agreed to invest withdrew, probably because they felt that the limelight was not right.

After all, there were better options, so why did they choose Longzhi?

Li Longke has been like an ant on a hot pot these two days. If he doesn't seize the time to raise money, the company may not be able to survive.

To make matters worse, no one expected that the last straw that broke the camel's back for Longzhi would come from an internal employee.

In the Economic Development Department, Jin Yu was shocked to see someone surfing the Internet on her mobile phone. She couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Is the company you used to work for called Longzhi?"

"Yes, what happened?"

"Some employees came out to ask for their wages and criticized the current boss for embezzling the company's money!"

Chu Zhishui was stunned. She quickly took out her mobile phone and surfed the Internet. Sure enough, she saw an account posting an article. This account claimed to be a group of Longzhi employees who jointly demanded their wages. If a critical moment came, they were willing to reveal their names and accuse Li Longke of long-term improper means.

The article talked about Longzhi Video's tacit acceptance of overtime culture. After the busy activities ended, it openly withheld wages for several months. Many colleagues worked hard and fell ill, and they had to drag their sick bodies to deal with work. The company was in serious internal struggle, and the rapid expansion and sudden store closures caused debts in many places. The platform deleted a large number of customer complaints in an attempt to calm the after-sales storm.

The most important point is that some people accused Li Longke of misappropriating company funds. Not only did he use the investors' money to pay high annual salaries, but he also squeezed out the remaining founders from the team and even relied on many channels to illegally make money for himself.

They asked the investment team to conduct a thorough investigation and believed that Li Longke did not use the financing funds for the promised legitimate purposes and was suspected of violating the law.

You know, if this situation is true after investigation, the investment team has every right to demand compensation and can withdraw the original investment!

The article was written with heart-wrenching words, and people burst into tears after reading it, which was enough to show the writing skills of the employees behind it.

Chu Zhishui didn't expect Li Longke to dare to embezzle money. This kind of thing had never happened in her company. She thought he was skirting the line of financing, but she never thought that he had stepped into the illegal area.

After reading the tearful article discussed by the employees, Jin Yu was so sad that she burst into tears and said with empathy: "I thought it was miserable enough that I didn't have more than 2,000 yuan, but I didn't expect that you were even more miserable than me in the past, and even your salary was delayed."

Chu Zhishui didn't expect that one day she would be pitied by Jin Yu, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, when I was in the last company, they didn't delay salary! It's not that miserable!"

After all, she is the founder, and her salary will not be delayed.

"Then why did you resign?"

"Because I was sick at the time..." Chu Zhishui looked at Jin Yu's subtle expression. Her voice became lower and lower as she spoke. She said guiltily, "Did you go to the hospital for emergency treatment?"

Jin Yu was surprised: "You said it wasn't that bad! Isn't this just like what is written in the article!"

"..."
