Chapter 358 Sharing the Cake
Ivan and his friends watched the ad for only half a minute seven or eight times. They nodded in surprise and said, "I like this idea so much. The grand palace scene is included, and the costumes of your youth are also included. The male and female actors are very beautiful, typical oriental people, very elegant."
And linking chocolate with love is a really good selling point.
What I like most is that the love between the hero and heroine can start in another way..."
This advertisement incorporates the elements of time and space, and will attract attention both at home and abroad. Love is an eternal topic, and even if it adds a lot of little tricks and deep meanings between her and her colleagues, it will not affect the viewing and love of overseas friends.
The TV colleagues present breathed a sigh of relief with joy, as this ad can be broadcast on both overseas and domestic channels. For paid cable TV users who want no ads, they insert the ad naturally and prominently into the program.
For example, in "Taogui", An Zhiqiu always rubs his hands before cooking, and then eats a piece of chocolate to replenish his energy before cooking. Although there is only a close-up shot of the chocolate and no description, I believe that foreign friends who watch this program will be able to distract their attention to the chocolate while nervously waiting to learn how to cook.
Ivan was very satisfied, and immediately took out two remittance slips that he had prepared long ago, one for 200,000 and the other for 270,000, and handed them to An Zhixia in person, saying with a smile: "With Ms. An here, our company's chocolate will definitely be known to international friends, and they will like it.
Maybe more companies in Italy will ask me to advertise with you.”
An Zhixia smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Ivan first."
After receiving the remittance slip, An Zhixia directly exchanged the money and personally wrote a plan for the Gaimaicheng Craft Factory and the Zhien Education Training Center. An Zhixia wanted to expand these two units, so the TV station's space was not enough for her.
Her original intention of opening the factory was to accommodate her family, so the factory building could not be built too far from the TV station, otherwise her family would not be able to balance family and work. She then looked around the TV station.
Land is scarce in Kyoto, especially in the central district. The various units and family quarters are next to each other. Except for a few small parks, there is almost no idle space. However, she pointed her hand at the location of the department store family quarters on the map.
The TV station is only one street away from the department store. Because the department store had a lot of capital in the early years, they went up and down and actually circled a whole street and marked it as the family area to occupy it first. But in fact, the number of salesmen is certain, even if the leaders live in small villas with courtyards, half of the land is still left vacant.
Many people are eyeing this piece of land, but the department store has a wide network of contacts and is backed by a big green tree, so it cannot be easily shaken. An Zhixia held her cheek, looking at the empty land that was not allowed to be requisitioned even if it was idle, and squinted her eyes but put down her pen and continued writing.
When the plan was finished, she handed it to the director again and said with a smile: "Director, Maicheng Craft Factory and Zhien Education and Training Center are units under our TV station. You are the factory director and president of the two units. Whether the land for the two units can be approved depends on you."
The director glared at her and was mentally prepared to charge into battle, but after taking a look at the plan, his expression was still very grim.
He felt that he had underestimated the power of her summer firecrackers once again.
"Do we have to choose another place to build factories and classrooms? Don't we have space for the TV station? And we are a handicraft, how much space can we take up?" he asked weakly.
"We have recruited more than 800 new employees. Are we not allowed to build houses on the vacant land in the family quarters? When the film and television industry flourishes, the TV station will inevitably expand again and again. If the vacant land is used, where will you build houses?"
The director continued to struggle unwillingly, "We don't have to target the department store, do we? They just sponsored us with equipment, and we're fighting with them for land. Isn't that unfair? Besides, there are a lot of vacant land in the suburbs. We have enough funds now, so we can buy some obsolete buses as shuttle buses."
"Director, the department store sponsored the equipment, but didn't they then ask for it back with interest? We have more than a thousand families, with as few as three or four people in a family and as many as more than ten. How many cars do you think we need to transport them back and forth?"
"We can't become a big fat man in one bite..." He just said it, but remembered the job fair that had made a lot of noise all over the country and was supported by the leaders a few days ago, so he stopped talking. He read it carefully word by word, and he had to say that An Zhixia's plan was very attractive.
Just looking at a few thin pieces of paper, even though he had read the plans submitted by two units, his blood was still stirred and boiling again. "Okay, I'll go over there and have a look. But as I said before, it may not work out!"
An Zhixia smiled and nodded. After the morning meeting, she silently calculated the time difference in her mind, called Huang Yaru directly, and pressed the speakerphone to call the most financially powerful Canadian TV station.
After the call was connected, when Huang Yaru stated that they were from Xia Huaguo TV Station, the person on the other end immediately said "wait a moment" and their person in charge would answer the call.
"Hello, Manager Hunter, our Deputy Director Xiao An would like to do business with your TV station."
Canada has always promoted freedom, and its businessmen pursue fame and fortune. Seeing that the ratings of Xiahua Channel rose from zero to 65% in just one and a half months, Manager Hunter dared not neglect it. He had already informed his secretary that he would personally answer the call from Xiahua.
When he heard that it was the person in charge of Xiahua Channel, Manager Hunter immediately greeted him warmly and said with a smile: "Deputy Director Xiao An's program is like magic, conquering many Canadian people. I believe that Deputy Director Xiao An's business must also have magic and can bring rich profits to both of us."
An Zhixia didn't let Huang Yaru beat around the bush and spoke directly, asking her to translate.
"Manager Hunter, the international television industry has just started, but it is gaining momentum. Your company has already purchased three cable television systems, and the number of households is increasing day by day, and the growth is very encouraging. I wonder if your company wants to take over Xia Huaguo's piece of cake?"
Manager Hunter was so choked that he couldn't help coughing. After a long while, he said, "I'm sorry, Ms. An, I was too surprised just now. I know that the Xiahua Channel was very successful and brought us both considerable profits. It's just that Xiahua is just at the beginning of its development in all aspects and does not have the conditions for taking off yet.
I don’t know when this cake will be cooked.”
An Zhixia laughed softly and replied, "If the cake is just edible, then your company won't have any business."
