Chen Feng smiled slightly, "Old Zhao, those people surrounding Old Du outside are business owners who are interested in cooperation, right?"
"Yes."
Zhao He pursed his lips. "To be precise, they are all business owners from the commercial street inside the East Gate."
Just as Chen Feng had predicted, the neighbors of Sugar Snow Honey City were indeed "stimulated".
Compared to merchants outside the school, they are more eager for their business to improve and act more decisively.
no way.
For them, the sudden surge in popularity of Sugar Snow Honey City was a huge shock.
Chen Feng turned to Fan Wenjun and said, "Open your eyes wide and look carefully. Now is your moment to witness a miracle."
After saying that, Chen Feng left 209 and headed straight for Du Lei's location.
At that time, more than a dozen business owners were arguing incessantly with Du Lei.
"Hey, your website's advertising fees are way too expensive."
"Expensive? This isn't just expensive, it's outrageous!"
"Could you be a little more flexible and lower the price?"
Although the business owners had long heard about Douyin's high advertising fees, hearing the prices of Douyin and Douyin in person still made their scalps tingle.
This isn't advertising money at all!
This is clearly a bank robbery!
"Dear bosses, I'm really sorry."
Du Lei said calmly, "The standard for advertising fees was set by our boss himself. He said that no matter what happens, this standard cannot be changed."
"Oh dear, standards are rigid, but people are flexible."
"Yes, classmate, could you give us a little discount? We sincerely want to advertise on Douyin."
"Doing business these days is not easy, especially since we're running a small business. How long will it take to break even if we put up tens of thousands of yuan at once?"
Du Lei glanced around at everyone. To be honest, if Chen Feng hadn't given him special training beforehand, he would definitely be panicking right now.
"We are very sorry, but there are no discounts on advertising fees on our website."
"As for your question about how many tens of thousands of yuan I have to put up and when I can break even... I can't answer that question, and I certainly don't dare to make any promises."
"However, I can tell you that after collaborating with Douyin, Tangxuemi City has sold a total of 1,000 cups of milk tea today. And that's just the sales volume for less than half a day."
"Based on this trend, within ten days, the profits that Sugar Snow Honey City earns will be able to cover the naming fee of 100,000 yuan."
Upon hearing this, the bosses' eyes flickered, their expressions shifting between light and dark.
On the one hand, as fellow merchants on the commercial street inside the East Gate, they had witnessed the terrifying customer traffic of Tangxuemi City. They were certain that Du Lei was not lying. In fact, the claim that Tangxuemi City would recoup its investment within ten days was quite conservative. According to their estimates, given the profit margin of milk tea, Tangxuemi City could earn back the money it sponsored for the school beauty pageant in a week at most.
On the other hand, they felt that Douyin's asking price was too high, too high for them to afford, and they were unsure of the situation.
After all, the rapid rise of Tangxuemi City is a rare phenomenon, and they dare not guarantee that their shops can replicate its success.
"As a website for college students, we are well aware that Douyin's advertising fees are a bit too high."
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Du Lei continued, "But as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for."
"I dare say that apart from Douyin, no other website can turn a near-bankrupt milk tea shop around and bring it back to life."
"Ultimately, the reason we charge a high price is because we have the capability to match it, and we have the confidence to do so."
Unlike his previous tough stance, Du Lei's words were reasonable, well-founded, and spoken in a gentle tone.
This is also the result of Chen Feng's special training.
Chen Feng told him that if a customer showed signs of wavering, he should lower his stance and reason with them and appeal to their emotions.
"What you said makes some sense."
"Alright, you're an employee working for Douyin too, so we won't make things difficult for you or force you to give us a discount."
"We'll go back and think about it some more. Sorry to bother you."
After exchanging greetings, the bosses turned and left.
It wasn't until the crowd in front of him dispersed that Du Lei noticed Chen Feng standing on the periphery of the crowd, arms crossed, looking at him with admiration.
"Boss? When did you get here? You..."
Halfway through his sentence, Du Lei saw Chen Feng make a "shh" gesture. Then, Chen Feng followed the shop owners and silently walked downstairs.
Seeing this, Du Lei was a little confused, wondering if his boss had developed aphasia, or if he was cosplaying Xu Zhimo, coming quietly and leaving quietly.
Fan Wenjun, who was watching the commotion from the entrance of 209, was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! What did Chen Feng just say?"
"Let me open my eyes wide and witness the moment of miracle?"
"What? He left without saying a word, and that's considered a miracle?"
"This is truly eye-opening! I've really had my eyes opened today!"
Zhao He's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly. "What are you so smug about? My boss went to talk business with them. He'll be back with those bosses to sign the contracts in a bit!"
Are you still half asleep?
Fan Wenjun curled his lip, "Chen Feng clearly knew that those business owners wouldn't accept his unreasonable price, and he was afraid of being ridiculed by me, so he ran away."
"But in your mouth, it's become that he went to negotiate business with people? And he'll be bringing those bosses back to sign contracts in a little while..."
"If he's so awesome, why doesn't he fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?"
"Are all of your Douyin employees living in a dream world?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Dandan unscrewed the water glass on her desk and splashed it at Fan Wenjun.
In fact, Zhao He, Jiang Dandan, and Du Lei all understand that it is unlikely that business owners will be willing to pay exorbitant advertising fees.
However, these are all internal matters of Douyin.
Who does Fan Wenjun even belong to?
Who gave him the right to point fingers and mock?
"Splash!"
Fan Wenjun's pants were instantly soaked.
What are you doing?
Fan Wenjun flew into a rage and said, "I'm a student leader at the Entrepreneurship Center. How dare you deliberately splash water on me? This is disorderly conduct! Believe me or not, I'll report this to the school leaders and get you a demerit."
"What are you yelling for? Which eye of yours saw me deliberately splash water on you?"
Jiang Dandan rolled her eyes. "I'm living in a dream. I was sleepwalking just now."
"you……"
Fan Wenjun wanted to hurl insults, but he couldn't find the words to express them.
"Pfft!"
Zhao He, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sneer.
It has to be said that within Douyin, Jiang Dandan's ability to roast people is second only to Chen Feng.
With just one sentence, Fan Wenjun was rendered speechless, his face turning red.
