"A good news? A bad news?"
Wang Yi chuckled wryly.
He was interviewed on July 22nd, and the draft could be written on the 23rd.
But it was already July 27th, a full five days, and it hadn't been reported!
Wang Yi even suspected the matter had gone cold and was prepared to burn his bridges, spending his own money on promotion.
Calculating the time, the loan for mortgaging the office building was also about to come through.
With an extra two or three million, promoting Meiyou would still not be a problem.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Anqing came looking for him!
"Let's have the good news first!"
"The good news is, after my tireless efforts, the support from my leaders, and encouragement for outstanding young entrepreneurs in this city, it has been decided to give you the front-page headline!"
"What! Front-page headline, holy crap!"
Wang Yi couldn't help but blurt out a curse word!
Unexpected, too unexpected.
He would have been very satisfied with just getting the front page.
Yet, they actually gave him a front-page headline!
This is something money can't buy!
Jizhou Evening News is the official media of the provincial capital city; second and third-page headlines can be bought with money.
Front-page headlines are impossible to buy; they always report important news!
This is the foundation and principle of Jizhou Evening News.
If the front-page headlines were all commercial advertisements, who would still read this newspaper?
"Thank you, Reporter Xiao, you've really helped me a lot!"
Wang Yi was very excited, it wasn't a wasted wait!
"Don't rush to thank me, there's also some bad news."
"What?"
Wang Yi's heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Anqing explained slowly:
"The bad news is that the front-page headline needs to queue up. It's difficult this week, probably next week, around the beginning of the month, the second or third! If it were the second or third page, I could arrange it for you anytime!"
"That's not a problem, I can wait a few more days, I'm not in a hurry,"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
No wonder there hadn't been any news, they were fighting for the front-page headline!
As Xiao Anqing said, if it were second or third-page headlines, or other positions on the first page, it could have been reported earlier.
But the front-page headline has always been a battleground for various departments of the newspaper, requiring multiple layers of review.
Even after approval, there's still a queue!
It's good that Wang Yi can even get in line.
As for whether it's reported this week or next week, does it matter?
Moreover, if it's reported now, the e-commerce platform isn't live yet, which would be bad, as the traffic wouldn't be handled!
Wait until the e-commerce platform goes online in three days, everything is on track, then report it!
By then, a million users will flood into Meiyou e-commerce at once, and Meiyou will be able to handle it.
Perhaps Meiyou and the "pure desire" style will both become a small-scale hit.
Sales can also surge!
Once a name is made, everything else will be smooth!
Smartphone users are few these days, but their quality is high!
For example, Apple users who could afford an iPhone costing over five thousand in 2011, equivalent to two or three months' salary in a second-tier city, generally have strong spending power.
If Qingyou targets students, then Meiyou targets high-income groups such as urban white-collar workers!
They are Wang Yi's harvest targets, no, target customers!
How is delaying the report by a few days bad news?
It's clearly good news!
"Reporter Xiao, thank you for giving me two pieces of good news, thank you," Wang Yi said sincerely.
"When you're free, I must treat you to dinner! At the Imperial Palace Hotel, I'll be the host!"
"???"
Xiao Anqing was stunned:
"How did delaying the report become good news? Could it be that you're not ready yet, and Meiyou has a backup plan?"
"Of course!"
Wang Yi smiled,
"How about you come for another interview? To see our new products?"
"New products? Wait, I'll be right there!"
"Welcome!"
After hanging up, Wang Yi walked out of the office and addressed the working staff:
"The Jizhou Evening News reporter will be coming to interview us again shortly. If all goes well, next week's front-page headline will be about our Meiyou!"
"Wow!"
"Jizhou front-page headline!"
"Boss is amazing! Boss is mighty!"
The employees were completely thrilled!
They had some concerns about joining an emerging company like Meiyou.
But now, they felt they had come to the right place.
The company had only been established for a week, and Jizhou Evening News had already interviewed them twice and was giving them a front-page headline.
It definitely had a boundless future!
Wang Yi changed the subject:
"The opportunity is right in front of us. Whether we can seize it, and whether we can handle this wave of traffic, depends on us!"
"So, for the next few days, everyone will need to work hard!"
"Don't worry, Boss, the company provides food and accommodation, I can work overtime every day!"
"Right, the company's benefits are so good, we must work overtime these few days!"
"There's nothing to do back in the dorm, and no partner, so might as well work overtime!"
"Let's work overtime together and make Meiyou a success!"
...
Listening to everyone's words, Wang Yi thought to himself:
"Employees these days don't know PUA or 'big pie'; they don't even need to be PUAed, they do it themselves!"
"I'm embarrassed to continue PUAing them. Sigh!"
Even more critical was that Song Sining was full of fighting spirit and ready to work overtime!
Chen Chuanqing also said,
"Manager Song, have someone prepare a bed for me tonight, I'll also sleep at the company and work overtime!"
Wang Yi: "..."
Song Sining nodded,
"Okay, it's already prepared for you."
Wang Yi: "..."
Chen Chuanqing: "!!!"
Wang Yi called Song Sining aside:
"Ask a few female employees if they are willing to wear the 'pure desire' style dresses for the interview?"
"Okay."
Song Sining quickly had the results:
"The few recent university graduates are all willing. Of the slightly older ones, half are willing, and half are not so willing."
"Alright, have those who are willing change into the 'pure desire' style dresses, and also provide them with small cardigans; whether they wear them is up to them. Don't force those who are unwilling."
With a small cardigan, the "pure desire" style would appear quite proper.
"Okay, Boss, I... I'm a bit..."
Song Sining seemed troubled.
Since her subordinates were all wearing them, as a manager, she should lead by example.
But she had never worn such revealing clothes before.
Song Sining, with her height of 172cm and impressive figure, was definitely a clothes hanger.
Normally, a small suit jacket looked great on her, or jeans + a white T-shirt were also very appealing, no need for elaborate dressing.
"You are not allowed to wear it!"
Wang Yi said decisively.
"If you wear it, it can only be for me to see."
Song Sining: "???"
Then she smiled faintly:
"Okay!"
By the time Xiao Anqing arrived at Meiyou, Song Sining and Yu Xue were already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing the refreshed Meiyou headquarters and its orderly arrangement, Xiao Anqing was deeply surprised.
In just a few days, Meiyou had completed a magnificent transformation and was on the right track.
This was all thanks to Song Sining's overall coordination.
Upon seeing the "pure desire" style little dress on Yu Xue, Xiao Anqing's eyes widened:
"This outfit is so beautiful, a little sexy, yet a little pure, gorgeous! Beauty, where did you buy it?"
Yu Xue smiled slightly:
"This is a new product from our company, about to be launched. The boss defines it as the 'pure desire' style!"
"'Pure desire' style, both pure and desirable!" Xiao Anqing's eyes lit up:
"This style will definitely be popular! When you launch, no matter how expensive, I will definitely buy one!"
"Why buy? Here, Xiaoxue, just give Anqing Jie three sets directly,"
Song Sining said cheerfully.
"That won't do, I must buy them, I'll pay!"
Xiao Anqing refused with a smile.
Song Sining waved her hand,
"It's fine, I'm doing a favor, the boss is paying, haha."
"Alright, then I won't be polite."
Xiao Anqing no longer refused, suddenly remembering that her best friend was currently filming a movie.
She was currently worried about the female lead's costumes, as the currently popular styles were too ordinary.
Even Valentino Red, which was very fashionable this year and beloved by many female stars, seemed very ordinary.
As shown in the picture below:
In 2011, these were considered good-looking styles, highly sought after by celebrities!
But compared to the "pure desire" style, they were still far behind.
There was no other way; this was simply the aesthetic of the era.
"If the female lead of my best friend's movie wore Meiyou's 'pure desire' style dresses, wouldn't it be perfect?"
"It would be more eye-catching than big fashion brands, and it would solve my best friend's problem!"
"However, I need to discuss this with Boss Wang, hoping he won't refuse."
Xiao Anqing had a plan in mind.
