"That's right, no promotions!" Zhang Xingrong glanced at Yu Xiuying. She admired her for her unyielding character. She wouldn't back down when faced with a challenge. For years, there had been no concept of market competition. This was the first time anyone had encountered it.
The sales department led by Yu Xiuying is actually not doing too badly, and the work outside the province is progressing quite well.
As for store sales, she has been trying to find a way, and sales have occasionally made small breakthroughs. However, they are still much worse than before, so they are very anxious.
"No promotional activities? But we still have to do it?" Yu Xiuying keenly grasped this point. "Is this what Mr. Zhang means?"
Zhang Xingrong nodded. "That's right! We can hold events, but not promotions."
It’s made it very clear, but since there won’t be any promotional activities, everyone is still a little confused.
"What other activities can Mr. Zhang organize if not promotional activities?" Everyone was confused.
They had never heard of promotions before, because neither the supply and marketing cooperatives nor department stores had any promotions, yet they never had trouble selling their products. It was only when they started working at Hongyun that they first learned what promotions were.
Besides promotions, what other activities can we do now?
Yu Xiuying took the lead and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you mean to organize an activity similar to a donation?"
She remembered that donations to Hongyun had brought very good results before. Although donations meant spending money, they brought good sales to Hongyun.
At that time, many people in the province knew about their business and came to buy their products.
"Yes," Zhang Xingrong nodded. "We won't donate money, but we can organize some mutual aid activities, with Hongyun leading the organization. Why don't we all think about what kind of mutual aid activities we can organize? What are the things that people need help with the most right now?"
Help each other?
Everyone tried hard to think of some better mutual help activities.
Yu Xiuying hesitated for a moment and said, "Director, I heard that the most serious problem right now is the issue of educated youth wanting to return to the city. Many families of educated youth who went to the countryside in our factory compound want to come back, but we simply can't arrange for them to come back. It's not just in our factory, but also with relatives, friends, and classmates."
She was lucky enough to be hired as a salesperson when her luck was just beginning.
At the beginning, they ran around everywhere, negotiating cooperation with supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores. They were chased away and looked down upon, but she never gave up. That's why she has achieved the little success she has now. That's why she can work in the provincial capital and return to the city.
But there are still many friends who have gone to the countryside and other places. They want to come back but cannot.
This is probably not a problem for her relatives and friends, but may be a problem for most families.
"Yes, I'm worried about this too. Many people around me are worried about this problem. My uncle retired early just to arrange for his cousin to come back. There are many similar cases."
Everyone nodded.
Zhang Xingrong knew about this matter. In fact, she did not experience this when she was in prison in her previous life, but after she was released, she also learned about this matter from various sources.
This is truly a matter for every household, but she can't solve it alone. It's a major issue, requiring policy and job creation, not something she can address alone.
Of course, good fortune can provide some help.
