Chapter 128 Let's do it!
Long Meng leaned forward slightly, crossed his hands on the conference table, and fixed his gaze on Su Yingxue, his eyes full of admiration and recognition.
"President Su, your proposal is very insightful! Most hot pot brands on the market are blindly following the trend of low prices and hiring popular celebrities, but they have ignored the human touch that hot pot itself carries. The points you have raised, such as the neighborhood hot pot day, the taste of memories, and various interesting interactive experiences, can truly create an emotional connection between customers and Longwu."
Zhang Yang nodded in agreement, his face beaming with approval: "That's right, President Su's plan is very down-to-earth and innovative. Compared to the conventional traffic-driving approach of Gaoguang, President Su focuses on emotions and fun, which is more likely to touch consumers' hearts. Moreover, Longwu already has a strong customer base, so this kind of packaging will definitely revitalize it in the market."
Long Meng smiled and patted the table: "Let's go with President Su's idea. I believe this will be a bold and successful attempt for Longwu. We can discuss the details of the subsequent cooperation later."
Manager He, who had been maintaining his composure, froze instantly upon hearing Long Meng's words, a look of disbelief and anger flashing in his eyes.
He clenched his teeth, trying to suppress his dissatisfaction, his hands unconsciously forming fists.
Once everyone's attention had shifted away from Su Yingxue, Manager He took advantage of the moment when no one was looking, turned to the corner beside him, and spat out a harsh sentence through gritted teeth: "We'll see, this isn't going to be easy."
He thought to himself that Su Yingxue's seemingly wonderful proposals would be fraught with difficulties in practice. Re-establishing that so-called human touch with customers was no easy task.
Moreover, those interactive experiences were not only costly, but their effectiveness was also uncertain. He secretly plotted to find an opportunity to ruin this plan and prevent Su Yingxue and Teng Yue from stealing the spotlight in this collaboration.
Su Yingxue keenly caught the unfriendly look that Manager He gave her, but she just smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart.
She knew that any new plan would face challenges during its implementation, but she was confident in her carefully crafted plan.
She believes that as long as she puts her heart into it, Longwu Hotpot will definitely stand out in the fiercely competitive hotpot market with its unique human touch and fun.
Long Meng seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere in the conference room for a moment, but he did not delve into it.
Instead, he continued discussing the details of the plan's implementation with Su Yingxue with great enthusiasm: "President Su, how often do you think we should hold the Neighborhood Hot Pot Day? And the taste of memories, those old-fashioned hot pot base recipes, we need to find the old master chefs to restore the authentic taste. I've always wanted to recreate the taste of old Chongqing. Indeed. Constantly innovating has actually weakened our brand."
Su Yingxue responded to Long Meng's questions methodically, and the collaborative discussion surrounding the new plan for Longwu Hotpot continued to unfold in a harmonious atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Manager He stood to the side with a gloomy face, waiting for what he considered the right opportunity to trip up Su Yingxue and Tengyue.
Seeing that President Long and Su Yingxue had finalized their cooperation agreement, Zhang Yang immediately began apologizing and trying to get rid of them.
"I'm really sorry, but Longwu Company values Tengyue Company's proposal more. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work with Gaoguang Advertising again in the future."
Zhang Yang's polite words made Manager He's heart skip a beat.
When Manager He took his leave, the smile on his face was stiff, as if it had been coated with paste.
He walked to the elevator, turned around to look around, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he immediately made a call to his subordinate: "Hey, Xiao Wang, come over here for a second."
When his subordinates rushed over, Manager He lowered his voice, his eyes sinister: "Go investigate Su Yingxue's background at Tengyue, and those proposals she put forward. I don't believe they can really work."
He paused, a cold smile creeping onto his lips. "Also... if Longwu starts preparing any new dishes or promotions, you know what to do, give them a little 'help'."
The subordinate understood immediately and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Manager He, I know what to do."
Manager He patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, turned and left, but still felt a surge of anger. He, a senior manager at High-Gloss Advertising, had actually been outmaneuvered by a woman from a small company, and this woman was even being treated differently by the boss of Longwu. He couldn't swallow this insult.
------------
Meanwhile, Su Yingxue and Long Meng's negotiations went exceptionally smoothly.
Long Meng readily extended his hand, his tone firm: "President Su, we'll do it your way! Long Wu is betting everything on your plan this time." He paused, then couldn't help but laugh, "Especially those two snacks, lamb trotters and pork intestines, the taste is absolutely amazing! I can't forget them after just one bite."
This tastes absolutely amazing! It reminds us of the time-honored delicacies we ate in Chongqing. I wanted to bring them here to promote back then, but I just couldn't recreate the flavor when I tried to make them myself. But today, I've truly been amazed.
Su Yingxue smiled slightly: "I'm glad Mr. Long likes them. Actually, the recipes for those two dishes aren't complicated; the key is in the selection of ingredients and the seasoning."
Long Meng's eyes lit up, and he asked directly, "President Su, to be honest, I love food the most. Could you perhaps...?" He rubbed his fingers together, grinning like a child, "...and perhaps Longwu Hot Pot could add a new dish to their menu? I guarantee, if it becomes a hit, it'll be a major focus in Tengyue's advertising!"
Su Yingxue readily nodded: "No problem, President Long. I can provide the formula to Long Wu, but there are a few key points to note—"
She held up one finger and said earnestly, "First, the lamb trotters must be from lambs slaughtered that day; only then will the meat be tender and not dry. Second, the cleaning process for the braised pork intestines cannot be skipped, otherwise it will affect the taste. Third, the ratio of spiciness to the braising sauce is the key; I will compile the detailed recipe and preparation process and send it to Boss Long later."
Long Meng was overjoyed and immediately instructed his assistant, "Xiao Liu, write this down! Next week, have the R&D team try making it using the recipe provided by General Manager Su, making sure it's exactly as described!"
He then turned to Su Yingxue, patting his chest and assuring her, "President Su, the cooperation is settled! The advertising video and printed materials must be in place by next Tuesday. Let's work together to make this new product launch and promotion a resounding success!"
Su Yingxue nodded in agreement: "President Long, rest assured, Tengyue will definitely complete it on time."
Stepping out of Longwu Company's gates, Su Yingxue looked up at the sky; the sun was shining brightly. She knew this business battle had only just begun, but regardless, she was prepared.
Meanwhile, Manager He's "secret scheme" was quietly brewing in the shadows...
