Upon hearing this, the staff member named Shen Yi's expression changed drastically.
Especially when she saw who was speaking, she became even more trembling, "Deputy Director Lü, I... I didn't mean that..."
"I'll handle this!"
Lu Huijuan waved her hand impatiently, "Go do what you're supposed to do."
"Yes, Deputy Director Lü!"
Shen Yi felt greatly humiliated and fled as if she were escaping.
A sly smile crept across Wang Qian's lips.
Lu Huijuan had anticipated that Shen Yi would come out to greet him.
Because Shen Yi is a front desk receptionist.
The timing of Lü Huijuan's appearance was something they had carefully planned the day before.
Because the director of the radio station, Ren Changliang, is used to getting up late and usually doesn't come to work until after 10 a.m.
This is precisely the time when radio stations are in a power vacuum.
Despite being sidelined by Ren Changliang, Lü Huijuan still held the title of deputy director.
Now that the director is not here, she, as the deputy director, is essentially the head and naturally has the power to decide many things.
"I am Lü Huijuan, the deputy director of the radio station, and I am in charge here!"
Lü Huijuan stepped forward, pretending not to recognize Wang Qian, and asked, "What is your name, sir?"
"Hello, Deputy Director Lü, my name is Wang Qian. I'm here to place an advertisement, but I need to inquire about the specific costs first before deciding whether to place the advertisement," Wang Qian said cooperatively.
"You're the one who placed the advertisement, right?"
Lu Huijuan pointed to the sofa next to her, "Please sit down, sir. I will explain the cost to you in detail."
Then, she waved to Shen Yi, who had already run to the corner, "Xiao Yi, make Mr. Wang a cup of tea."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Shen Yi responded and immediately went to make tea.
The place where Lü Huijuan received Wang Qian was not in the office, but in the lobby, where many staff members could hear their conversation.
Lu Huijuan first carefully explained the advertising costs, and then said, "Mr. Wang, the costs for our radio station are roughly the types I just mentioned. I wonder which one you would like to advertise?"
According to Lü Huijuan, the cost of advertising on radio stations is based on frequency, duration, and time period.
For example, the cost will vary depending on how many times the ad is repeated each day, how many seconds each ad lasts, and the time of day during which the ad is inserted.
Generally speaking, the more times an ad is repeated, the longer each ad lasts, and if it's aired during prime time, the higher the cost will be.
However, generally speaking, the cost of radio stations is much lower than that of television stations.
Even if a radio station in Nanming County broadcasts 20 commercials a day, each lasting 30 seconds, and during prime time, it would only earn 58,000 yuan a month.
Of course, if you pay a deposit of 100,000 yuan in one go, you can also enjoy a 20% discount.
Although radio advertising costs are much lower than those of television stations, Wang Qian still genuinely felt that the radio stations in Nanming County were overcharging excessively.
Based on his understanding from his previous life, a county as large as Nanming County wouldn't need so much advertising revenue from a radio station.
Even if you insert 20 commercials a day, each lasting 30 seconds, and they're aired during prime time, the cost would be at most around 30,000 yuan per month at the normal rate.
It's easy to imagine how terrible their radio station in Nanming County is.
"Mr. Wang, do you have any concerns?"
Seeing that Wang Qian didn't speak, Lü Huijuan asked another question.
"Can you make it cheaper?"
Wang Qian suddenly came to his senses and said with a wry smile, "I really can't afford this cost. If you could give me some discounts or a bigger discount, I would consider launching it."
"Mr. Wang, our advertising fees are open and transparent. There is absolutely no deception or attempt to inflate your price. You can rest assured about that," Lü Huijuan assured him confidently.
"But I still think it's too expensive."
Wang Qian shook his head. "If you can't offer a discount, I'll be going now. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he got up to leave.
The staff around were getting anxious.
For a long time, many businesses that were planning to advertise have hesitated because Ren Changliang, the director of their radio station, has raised advertising fees too high.
Even some businesses that have already placed ads will not continue to place ads if the advertising results do not meet their expectations.
As a result, for a long time, very few businesses came to place advertisements, and the salaries of radio station staff were reduced again and again.
We've finally found a big idiot, we absolutely can't let him get away easily.
"Mr. Wang, don't worry!"
Not only the staff around her, but also Lü Huijuan became anxious. She grabbed Wang Qian, who was about to leave, and said, "If you are really sincere about placing an advertisement, I can make the decision and give you some discounts."
"real?"
Wang Qian seemed to be persuaded and sat back down in his chair.
The staff members who had been silent all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Wang, how about this? Tell me what price you can afford, and I'll give you a corresponding discount based on our fees. What do you think?" Lü Huijuan coaxed him gently.
"Based on the advertising requirements I just mentioned, I can only afford a maximum of 15,000 yuan in advertising costs per month," Wang Qian said after thinking for a moment.
"Fifteen thousand?"
A hint of disdain flashed in Lü Huijuan's eyes, and she couldn't help but laugh as she said, "Mr. Wang, you're probably being a bit presumptuous. According to your investment requirements, you need 58,000 yuan per month. Even if I give you a discount, it's impossible to reduce it to 15,000 yuan."
"Then forget it!"
Wang Qian shook his head. "Sorry to have bothered you earlier, goodbye!"
In her haste, Lü Huijuan added, "Mr. Wang, how about you order some more and I'll give you a 30% discount?"
"I'm sorry, 15,000 is the maximum I can afford!" Wang Qian's attitude was very firm.
Lü Huijuan frowned deeply.
Her eyes flickered for a moment, then she made another concession, "How about this, thirty-eight thousand, that's the biggest discount we can offer."
"It's still too expensive."
Wang Qian's attitude softened somewhat, but he still insisted, "If this is the biggest discount you can offer, I'll go advertise elsewhere."
Upon hearing this, many staff members present could no longer remain seated.
"Deputy Director Lü, how about we give this gentleman an even bigger discount?"
"Yes, yes, it's rare for him to be so sincere. Giving him a bigger discount would be good for everyone, wouldn't it?"
"With Director Ren not here, you can make the decision yourself."
Several people couldn't help but speak up to offer advice.
They appear to be white-collar workers, but their salaries are actually decreasing.
If no one places ads, their wages might drop to a level where they earn less than an average construction worker.
Wang Qian and Lü Huijuan were referring to the reactions of these people.
The two exchanged a knowing glance, and Lü Huijuan said, "Alright, then I'll give Mr. Wang an even bigger discount."
