"Closed down? No, no. Under my guidance, Xiao Lu got Shengli Supermarket back on track, and it's open for business again now. The customer traffic is pretty good. Although it's not as high as before, it's still about two-thirds full."
"Yes, yes, I will continue to work hard. I wonder what the higher-ups have been saying lately?"
"Ah, so you've already started preparations. Very good! Then I wish you a resounding success in acquiring that piece of land to the east!"
Just as Mr. Luo hung up the phone, a man carrying a stack of documents knocked on the office door. As Mr. Luo said "Come in," the man opened the door, entered the office, and closed the door behind him.
"Mr. Luo, this is a project request submitted by the planting base. The Shanghai Machinery and Equipment Expo will be held at the Shanghai Convention and Exhibition Center in three days. They have their eyes on several pieces of equipment and plan to check their performance on-site. If there are no problems, they will make the purchase. This is their procurement plan; please take a look." The man then gently placed the document on the table.
"Okay, leave it here, I'll deal with it in a bit." President Luo put down his phone, glanced at the stack of documents, and said indifferently.
Once only General Manager Luo was left in the office, he leaned back in his chair, crossed his leather-shoes on the desk, and casually picked up the price list on top of the documents to examine it.
"Tsk, thirty million for equipment procurement? These people must have lost their minds from farming. Times have changed; you can't make money farming anymore!" President Luo tossed the price list back onto the materials, glanced out the window at the low-rise houses, and smiled. "Now, it's the era of real estate!"
Lu Shengnan had just sat down in the van when her phone beeped with a QQ message notification. She took out her phone and glanced at the contact name; it was from Xu An, the owner of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
"Mr. Lu, do you have the contact information for the staff of the local TV station in Haishi? Could you please tell me how much it cost to insert an advertisement on the local TV station last time?"
'Looks like Mr. Xu's business is doing very well; he's already getting TV ads so quickly! (thumbs up)'
After sending the message, Lu Shengnan opened her email, found the quotation form that the local TV station in Shanghai had sent her earlier, and forwarded it to Xu An.
"Mr. Xu, the quotation documents have been sent to your email. Wishing you continued success and prosperity in your business."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. I heard that Shengli Supermarket has resumed normal operations. Mr. Lu, you are truly capable. Shengli Supermarket is so lucky to have a leader like you. (Thumbs up)"
The chat ended with a round of mutual compliments. As soon as Xu An logged out of QQ, he eagerly opened his email and, sure enough, found an unread email from Lu Shengnan. His eyes widened when he saw the month's advertising quote.
A local TV station in Shanghai is offering a 10-second ad slot, not during prime time, for only 4,200 NTD per month! The shortest option is a week's worth of advertising, costing 1,600 NTD per week. Even during prime time, it's only 3,600 NTD per week!
The industry barriers are truly impressive! It's like crossing a mountain if you're not in the same industry!
I thought the advertising costs for 'Haishi Food Studio' were already extremely low, but I didn't expect that the advertising costs for Haishi's well-known and widely popular local TV station were not much more expensive than the former.
For a mere 3,600 yuan, I, Xu An, am determined to get a prime-time advertisement on a local TV station in Shanghai!
Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the wholesale market to find the spiciest chilies I can find. Zhang Dezhen won't be setting up a stall at the construction site tomorrow; he'll stay at the shop to research this hellishly spicy braised food. I also need to contact Awei to produce a ten-second promotional video—just some text and simple animation. Given Awei's usual efficiency, this shouldn't take long. Finally, I need to contact the local TV station in Shanghai to purchase prime-time advertising space for a week, starting the day after tomorrow! This will generate buzz for the upcoming opening of Xu's Braised Food Shop!
Lin Xinyue's home.
Upon receiving the message from Chengzi, Lin Xinyue sat up in bed, sat down at her desk, and began searching for recently opened restaurants in Haishi. Suddenly, her eyes fell on an account link called 'Haishi Food Studio'.
Is this a newly opened private restaurant?
A click of the mouse over the title quickly redirected to a social media platform. It turned out this wasn't a shop, but an account sharing local delicacies. With 680,000 followers, such a large following suggested it was legitimate.
Her gaze then fell on an advertisement for "Xu's Fast Food Restaurant." The name sounded familiar; she must have heard of it somewhere before, but she didn't think she'd ever eaten there. With a "better safe than sorry" mentality, Lin Xinyue clicked on the link.
The first part was all normal, and Lin Xinyue read it with great interest. But when she saw a close-up photo, her expression changed. The manager of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was actually Xu Kang and Xu Le's brother? That jealous guy?
After a brief silence, she scrolled the mouse wheel, the page moved up, and new content appeared in Lin Xinyue's eyes.
Q: Many fans are curious, Mr. Xu, what kind of girl do you like?
A: Well, my ideal type is someone tall, with long hair, big eyes, and it would be even better if she had two dimples when she smiles.
'.'
This description seems so familiar.
Lin Xinyue suddenly swayed her body and looked at the dressing table not far away. At that moment, the mirror on the dressing table reflected a girl with long hair and big eyes. The girl pursed her lips and revealed a big smile, and two dimples appeared on her delicate face.
