74 Killing three birds with one stone
Less than ten minutes after these two Weibo posts were published, the hashtag #JianFeiYuChunMarriage# suddenly jumped to the top of the trending searches at an alarming speed, followed by a bright red "hot" sign.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
"Holy crap! It really is Miss Jian Er! It's official!"
"Just showing off the marriage certificate! CEO Jian is awesome! (Voice cracks)"
"Stamped!" "Received!" Ahhh, so sweet and domineering CEO-like!"
"So that idiot in black yesterday really was Yu Chun, hahaha!"
"Congratulations Chun Chun! Congratulations, President Jian!"
"With looks like that and wealth like that, a top-tier wealthy couple has been born!"
"A perfect match! A powerful alliance! (Although spicy hot pot can't compete with a pancake stall)"
"President Jian's hands are so beautiful! It's so sweet to see them resting on Yu Chun's head!"
"Am I the only one who noticed that Yu Chun's ears are red? She looks like a pampered little husband being favored by a big shot!"
At the same time, the official Weibo account of Jianbing Group quickly forwarded and commented on Chu Xiao's Weibo post.
[Jianbing Group Official Weibo V: Congratulations to CEO Jian on his marriage! A perfect match made in heaven. To celebrate CEO Jian's wedding, we are giving away 520 lucky followers a year's worth of free Jianji deluxe family pancake bucket vouchers (one per day)! We are also giving away 9999 lucky followers a Jianji's latest "Lucky Dawn" couple's smart pancake maker! //@JianfeiV: Officially confirmed. @Yu Chun]
This incredibly extravagant and uniquely Jianbing Group gift has reignited the enthusiasm of netizens. The hashtag #JianbingGroupGiveaway# quickly climbed to the top of the trending topics.
"520 free deluxe family-sized pancake buckets for the whole year?! 9999 pancake machines?! The Pancake Group is incredibly generous!"
"Hahaha, how about a smart pancake maker? Congratulations to Mr. Jian on your marriage, may you have a long and happy life together! (So, could you draw something else?)"
"I give this marketing campaign a perfect score! CEO Jian is awesome!"
"So why did the Jianbing Group's official Weibo account hold a giveaway for President Jian's wedding?"
"Upstairs Village has internet access? Mr. Jian is now the de facto controller of the Jianbing Group!"
"Where's the Malatang Group? Come out and compare yourselves! Your only son is getting married!"
"Malatang Group: Stop talking, a married son is like water spilled from a bowl (just kidding)."
The news that "Jian Fei, the head of a billion-dollar pancake group, married Yu Chun, the only son of a billion-dollar spicy hot pot group," along with their marriage certificate photo that tells a story, and the pancake group's "epic lottery," has completely gone viral online.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred flooded the internet, and Yu Chun's Weibo comment section was filled with teasing remarks about her being a "rich and powerful husband."
On Yu Chun's WeChat, the latest message quickly surpassed 99+, and all sorts of friends sent congratulatory messages, extending their warm greetings and blessings to him.
However, he didn't care about the outside world's troubles.
The "outrageously extravagant" congratulatory gift from the Jianbing Group not only ignited the enthusiasm of the entire internet, but also deeply touched Yu Chun's heart.
At this moment, he was nestled on the living room sofa, seriously calculating the lottery costs for the pancake company.
"The regular price for the Deluxe Pancake Family Bucket Set Meal is 399.9 yuan, but during promotional events, the group purchase price is 299.9 yuan."
"Using the group-buying price, it would be 299.9 * 365 ... approximately 109,500 yuan per person per year."
"520 people is 109,500 * 520... approximately 56.92 million!"
"Even with a 50% net profit margin, the cost would still be 28.46 million! Add to that the cost of the pancake machine—"
Yu Chun gasped, clutching her chest in disbelief.
"You're too extravagant! Giving away nearly 30 million for a wedding... Is it really necessary!"
Thirty million... That hurts so much!
He couldn't help but count on his fingers: "How many bowls of spicy hot pot would I have to sell to make that back... I think giving away 1 million yuan in red envelopes to 999 lucky netizens would be enough!"
Chu Xiao was browsing stock prices on his tablet.
Upon hearing Yu Chun's stingy remarks, she looked up in disbelief: "1 million??? You're so petty..."
She thought to herself, "This little bit of money can bring me goodwill across the internet, brand exposure, and a surge in stock price. It's much more cost-effective than that terrible drama your dad invested in."
Yu Chun muttered indignantly, "The CEO of that well-known underwear brand only gave 660,000 yuan as a wedding gift recently."
Although she had absolutely no connection to the underwear industry, Chu Xiao was well-informed and had naturally heard about the underwear CEO's exploits.
Chu Xiao expressed great disdain for this.
She snorted coldly: "They're reluctant to spend money when they need to, but they spend money like water on useless public relations. No wonder their family has never made it out of the flower country in three generations."
Yu Chun glanced at the soaring number of reposts and the jubilant comments section; indeed... the promotional effect was outstanding.
Then look at the official Weibo account of their own Mala Tang Group, which also sheepishly reposted the Weibo post from Jianbing Group, with the caption "Congratulations, young master! Congratulations, President Jian! [heart][heart]", appearing incredibly weak, pitiful, and helpless.
He was speechless.
Seeing that he still looked stingy and worried about money, Chu Xiao comforted him, "Don't worry, you won't lose money. The advertising expenses will be made back as soon as the stock price goes up a few points."
She never does anything that results in a loss.
Just as Chu Xiao had predicted, the sensational announcement of the marriage and the nationwide lottery frenzy were directly reflected in the capital market.
After the market opened, the share prices of Jane's and its subsidiaries rose sharply, especially those of Jianbing Group.
Because of that successful giveaway marketing campaign, Jianbing Group's stock price performed very strongly.
A marriage was transformed into a grand celebration for the group's brand and a boost to its stock price.
...
On the other side of the city, Zhao Ben scrolled through the overwhelming news on his phone. Looking at the photo of Chu Xiao's hand resting on Yu Chun's head, and Yu Chun's obviously dependent and shy gaze looking up at him, he sighed.
"Like father, like daughter."
He stared blankly at the words "Jianbing Group's stock price soared" on the screen, speechless for a moment.
When Jian's father was in power, he firmly held the reins of the pancake group. He recognized Jian's father's abilities and always behaved himself.
But who wouldn't want to acquire such a behemoth as the Jianbing Group?
The former heir, Jian Bing, showed him an opportunity.
But then, Jian Fei, the second daughter of the Jian family, appeared out of nowhere.
I originally thought she was just a lucky woman who rose to power by taking advantage of a loophole, but I never expected that a young girl who used to eat, drink and have fun every day would have such remarkable skills.
This woman not only stabilized the internal situation of the Jian Group so quickly, but also indirectly secured the potential inheritance rights of the Malatang Group through a marriage. Furthermore, she used this opportunity to conduct a phenomenal marketing campaign, boosting the stock price.
This three-birds-with-one-stone strategy was executed brilliantly and ruthlessly.
Zhao Ben could see clearly that with this series of moves, Jian Er's position in the Jianbing Group would be as solid as a rock from then on.
The rapid rise of the second son of the Jian family and this high-profile marriage were like a heavy blow, completely shattering his ambition.
Zhao Ben wiped his face weakly.
What is despair?
This is called despair.
The meticulously drawn blueprint now appears so ridiculous and presumptuous.
This doesn't just mean adding more variables; it means completely cutting off all his options.
"Brother Aotian, you really raised a good daughter. You didn't give anyone else a chance."
Zhao Ben took a sip of tea and found it bitter.
