Chapter 158 Rarely Easy
When Zhuo Kaicheng asked with a smile on his face, the two of them sat down, and then he sat across from them. Zhuo Kaicheng was the first to ask.
"If you two gentlemen have anything you don't understand, just ask and I will tell you everything I know."
Cheng Shi smiled and said: "It's okay, I also know about the strength of your newspaper, but I need a full page of advertisements.
I want the page to be simple, the whole front of the newspaper has to be my advertisement, and all the useless stuff has to be eliminated.”
Zhuo Kaicheng was stunned after hearing this, and said doubtfully: "It's not necessary, just let people see the advertisement. A whole side of advertisement is really too extravagant."
Cheng Shi continued: "The main thing is to attract people's attention. I want others to see my advertisement at a glance. I have also read your newspaper.
Except for a children's story on the front, which is a fixed position of your newspaper, the other positions should be sellable, right?!"
Zhuo Kaicheng nodded and said: "That's true. Except for the Children's World column, others posted it in the newspaper.
It’s just that no one has ever wanted to buy an entire space directly. Of course, if you have enough money, this is no problem.”
Cheng Shi continued: "Well, I don't know if it will be inconvenient for the authors of the Children's World column if we do this?!"
Zhuo Kaicheng continued: "There is nothing inconvenient. If the story hadn't really attracted people, his story would have been canceled long ago."
Cheng Shi continued: "Oh, it's not easy for people. Please tell me, Mr. Zhuo, who is running this column. I will find someone to give him some compensation."
Zhuo Kaicheng shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, he is just an insignificant person."
Cheng Shi said with a cold face: "To you, he is an insignificant person, but to me, he is not.
Especially since I have cut off his financial resources, if I don’t compensate him, my conscience will be uneasy, and I would like to ask Mr. Zhuo to inform him."
Zhuo Kaicheng looked at the cold-faced Cheng Shi, and he was very confused. Why was the other party so persistent in compensating that person?
But he didn't want the business to go bad, so he had to apologize and said with a smile: "I was rude. Sir, it's so kind. You can think of someone you don't know like this."
This person's name is Xia Xianbin, and he is an old employee of our newspaper. He used to be our star editor here.
But I don’t know who I offended, so now I can only write some children’s stories and do odd jobs in the newspaper office.”
Cheng Shi wrote down this person's name in his mind and stopped talking about things related to this person. Instead, he talked with Zhuo Kaicheng about newspaper advertisements.
After Cheng Shi reduced the price to the other party's psychological price, he then paid Zhuo Kaicheng a reservation deposit of one hundred US dollars.
Cheng Shi continued: "My advertisement will be displayed at your place for about ten days in half a month. Then you will have to make room for me."
Zhuo Kaicheng smiled and nodded: "This is no problem. As long as you have the money, there will be no problem with advertising or anything else."
Only then did Cheng Shi and Deng Xin leave the reception room. He was just pretending to do advertising, but then he thought that his company was about to open.
Although Cheng Shi saw a lot of free advertisements for his company when he was on the road, he waited until the company officially opened.
If he doesn't show his strength, some merchants may not dare to buy goods, which would not be good.
Therefore, he still planned to advertise. Although he paid some deposit, he would only have half a page of advertisements.
When the time comes to bring Huang Huangrong out for use, he won't be able to get this advertising space without spending so much money.
After the two came out, Deng Xin looked at Cheng Shi and said, "What should we do now? We have found this person. Should we arrest him or keep an eye on him for a few days?!"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Of course I'll keep an eye on him. Let's investigate his social connections first. If nothing is found within three days.
If he doesn't do anything, just arrest him and interrogate him again to see if we can find out anything."
Deng Xin nodded and said, "I understand, I'll find someone to arrange it right now."
Cheng Shi then added: "His current identity is that of a handyman in a newspaper office, and he should not have too many contacts with him.
If someone who doesn't have his identity contacts him, record it, maybe he is one of their group."
Deng Xin nodded to express his understanding, and then separated from Cheng Shi, but Cheng Shi stood stunned on the road.
Now that all possible clues had been investigated, Cheng Shi didn't know what he should do after calming down.
After thinking about it, Cheng Shi decided to relax. He found a large bathtub and took a hot bath.
After coming out of the bath, Cheng Shi was ready to talk to Li Shan. After all, he couldn't ignore his company's affairs for so many days.
After arriving at the teahouse, the waiter already knew Cheng Shi, so he came up directly and asked, "Sir, are you looking for someone or just having tea?!"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Looking for someone, go and ask your Master Li to come over. I have something to ask him."
The waiter nodded to express his understanding, then led Cheng Shi to an empty table and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. Please take a sip of tea first."
It was rare for Cheng Shi to have time now. He closed his eyes, emptied his mind, and listened quietly to the opera on the stage.
Cheng Shi's ears automatically filtered out the noisy sounds around him, and he quietly felt the movingness of the opera, while time continued to pass slowly.
Not long after, he heard a familiar footsteps. After the other party approached, the footsteps began to slow down, but the other party did not make a sound.
Cheng Shi smiled and continued, "Brother Li is here, why don't you say anything?!"
Li Shan laughed twice, then sat next to Cheng Shi and said, "I saw brother Cheng enjoying the opera, how could I dare to disturb him."
Li Shan and Cheng Shi said a few polite words, and then asked: "Brother Cheng, you came to see me today, are you here to chat with me?!"
Cheng Shi opened his eyes, stared at Li Shan and said, "Brother Li guessed wrong. I'm just here to chat with you. I'm here just to ask about the response to our free advertising."
After hearing this, Li Shan smiled and said: "The effect is great. I have heard many people in many places spreading our advertisement orally.
I feel like we don’t have to wait a month. According to the current popularity of advertising, we can sell shoe polish directly in a few days.”
Cheng Shi shook his head and said, "No, it must take one month, which is the fastest time for advertising to develop.
If you cancel prematurely, many potential customers will not be notified, and it has only been half a month, how many boxes of inventory have been produced?!"
Li Shan said with a smile: "After I saw the effect of the advertisement, I hired an extra group of workers and now I have made fifty boxes."
Cheng Shi did a mental calculation, and based on the population of Shanghai, as well as the number of customers who own leather shoes and the stores that sell goods.
Cheng Shi continued: "It's too little. It must be more than a hundred boxes, otherwise it's better not to sell it."
Lishan said in surprise when he heard this.
"More than a hundred boxes, that's too much. Is there such a store in Shanghai that can buy shoe polish? Don't you think you won't be able to sell it by then?!"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Don't worry, it won't fail to sell. Moreover, even if it doesn't sell, I have other ways."
