Zhou Qiyuan clutched the two ten-yuan bills tightly in his hand, his heart filled with excitement.
Twenty yuan is not a large sum of money.
But this is different; it proves that there is indeed a market for these expensive herbal gift boxes!
"Director Zhou, it's getting late. Don't you think it's time to leave work?"
Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhang Cheng reminded him.
"Yes, yes, it's almost 7:30. I have to hurry back. If I don't, my sister-in-law will nag me to death."
Zhou Qiyuan was in a great mood, and he even found Zhang Cheng much more agreeable, and his attitude towards him became much more friendly.
Zhang Cheng and Zhou Qiyuan walked out of the office side by side.
Upon arriving at the lobby on the first floor, Liu Yihan, who was sitting behind the service desk, was taken aback when she saw Zhang Cheng and her brother-in-law walking over together, chatting and laughing.
Her brother-in-law, ever since he became the head of the purchasing department, has been acting like he's above everyone else.
Just the night before last, on his way home, he kept telling himself to stay away from people like Zhang Cheng whose background was unclear, his words implying that he looked down on and disdained him.
But now...
After a brief greeting to Liu Yihan, Zhang Cheng and Zhou Qiyuan walked out of the hospital gate together, got on their bicycles at the bike shed, and went their separate ways.
Riding his old, dilapidated bicycle through the howling wind and snow, Zhang Cheng first found a roadside stall, spent money to eat a bowl of hot plain noodles to fill his stomach, and then slowly returned to the guesthouse.
busy!
tired!
But I felt much more at ease.
The business of these herbal gift boxes has finally gotten off to a good start.
The rest will be easy. Tomorrow, I'll go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to inquire about trademark registration, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to put those four types of herbal gift boxes in the glass display case as free advertising.
That means all the preliminary preparations are complete.
These days, advertising is nothing new; you can see it on TV and in newspapers.
It's quite rare to see a company like a supply and marketing cooperative directly advertising inside its counter.
Too tired to even take a shower, Zhang Cheng lay down fully clothed on the hard bed in the guesthouse and fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.
Zhang Cheng rode his bicycle to the cardboard box factory and picked up the four different packaging samples of herbal gift boxes that had been agreed upon yesterday.
Then, he rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative, found Director Zhao, and told him his idea of advertising at the cooperative's counter.
Director Zhao was clearly surprised after hearing this, not expecting Zhang Cheng to come up with such a trick.
The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't need to be responsible for the sales of this herbal gift box; it can simply display it in the most conspicuous counter and earn 20 yuan a month in "advertising fees."
Director Zhao was indeed quite considerate of Zhang Cheng. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
Zhang Cheng then took the opportunity to bring up the matter of trademark registration.
After listening to Zhang Cheng's idea, Director Zhao shook his head and explained with a smile:
"Registering a trademark isn't as simple as you think. Even if you have registered capital, you don't have a proper production plant... Don't worry about it. In a couple of days, when I go to the municipal government for a meeting, I'll inquire about it and see if we can make an exception for you."
"Xiao Zhang, you need to know that now is a great time for reform and opening up. The government strongly encourages and supports young people like you who have ideas and dare to take risks to start your own businesses..."
