As Ye Beiping was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Yan Hua's voice behind him: "Ye Beiping, the factory director wants you to come over."
"ah?"
Ye Beiping turned to look at Yan Hua and nodded, saying, "Okay."
The two walked quickly to the factory manager's office.
As soon as he entered, Jin Ming stood up with the approval slip in his hand and asked, "Ye Beiping, did you get this?"
Looking at Jin Ming's expressionless face, Ye Beiping simply nodded.
"Yes, is there a problem, factory manager?"
No, no.
Jin Ming's face immediately lit up with a smile. "There's no problem. Director Yan just told me about your idea, and I think it's excellent. The only issue is how to organize this event; we've never done it before. What do you think..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping immediately understood Jin Ming's meaning, puffed out his chest, and said:
"That's no problem, I can handle it. However, I need to arrange sales staff for myself, and I'll also need to ask Director Jin to put in a good word with the finance department. We'll still need to rent tables, chairs, and some equipment, but the cost won't be very high."
"I can also talk to the county committee. As long as you, Director Jin, agree, the rest is up to me."
"Good, good, good." Jin Ming's smile widened, and he nodded repeatedly as he looked at the approval slip in his hand.
Just then, Ye Beiping made a request: "Director Jin, I can handle these things, but there's one thing I need you to tell the production workshop about."
"oh?"
Jin Ming and Yan Hua frowned and exchanged a glance.
Isn't it a sales issue?
How did this involve the production workshop again?
With no money to pay wages, the workers are easily angered and irritable, making it difficult to get them to continue production.
Is it possible that there isn't enough beer in the warehouse?
That's hundreds of thousands of bottles of beer, surely that shouldn't be enough?
Seeing the two men's tense expressions, Ye Beiping guessed what was going on and said with a smile, "It's not about production, but a promotional activity. There's a prize for opening the lid."
"If we take out one-tenth of the stock in the warehouse and offer a prize for opening the bottle, wouldn't that be beneficial for future sales? Price is fixed, but methods are flexible. If we can't beat others in a price war, then we'll just give it away directly, without engaging in a price war. For every ten bottles of beer sold, we can give one away, but whether we get that one free bottle depends on the customer's luck."
"Just change the bottle cap and print 'a bottle of beer as a reward' on it."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing even more deeply.
However, I did do some careful mental calculations.
The "buy ten, get one free" offer still offers a significant profit margin, making this promotion seem quite attractive.
If the beer festival is successful, then this prize-winning activity can also be promoted, which is a win-win situation.
Yan Hua was originally the head of the sales department, so he just hadn't thought of this method before. But after being given some pointers, he immediately realized what was going on and clapped his hands in approval: "Great idea!"
"Factory manager, I think it's a good idea. It's all about psychology. It's like when we go to buy beer. If someone else's beer is a penny cheaper than ours, but we buy the beer that's a penny more expensive, we have a chance to get two bottles, which is like earning an extra penny."
"We can earn less at first, and then gradually reduce the odds of winning, and our sales will increase, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping wanted to give Yan Hua a thumbs up.
I never expected that there would be such talented people in state-owned factories in this era. With just a little guidance, they completely understood the principles.
Upon hearing this, Jin Ming suddenly understood.
“Okay, let’s do it this way. I’ll talk to the production workshop. Ye Beiping, you and Director Yan will be in charge of this event.”
"Let's give it our all one last time. If we fail, my time as factory manager will be over."
Hearing the last dejected sentence, Ye Beiping pursed his lips.
It's clear that Jin Ming and Yan Hua are both people who get things done; otherwise, a country bumpkin like him probably wouldn't have even been able to get into the factory yesterday.
It's estimated that the two of them were forced into a corner.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Beiping and Yan Hua left the factory director's office.
The two men split up. Yan Hua had extensive connections, so he first contacted those state-owned factories that were not doing well. He talked until his throat was dry after an afternoon of talking.
They persuaded the sales managers from other factories to attend the beer festival.
Ye Beiping, on the other hand, took the sales team to discuss the issue of renting tables and chairs.
Many restaurants and wedding banquet venues offer tables and chairs for rent, though the prices vary.
After finishing all that, when Ye Beiping returned home that evening, he found Ye Xiaoxin and Tao Qiuyan standing at the door, looking towards his room.
"Mom, Sister, why are you standing at the door?"
The two turned around and saw that Ye Beiping had returned. Tao Qiuyan immediately said, "I don't know what's wrong with Xinyi today. She suddenly started arguing with her mother?"
"yes."
Ye Xiaoxin frowned and said, "It seems to be about some kind of return quota. It seems that Xinyi's mother gave the return quota to someone else."
"Give it to someone else?" Ye Beiping was stunned.
That was Su Xinyi's hope, her hope of returning to the city.
Unexpectedly, Min Yuehua gave the return quota to someone else at this crucial moment.
Ye Beiping didn't know whether to be happy or worried. His mother-in-law was quite capable. She had unwittingly helped him out.
This gives him plenty of time.
The fact that Su Xinyi couldn't return to the city immediately was a good thing for Ye Beiping.
But I don't know if Su Xinyi can accept it.
