Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Unbearable Disturbance

Jin Ling just pressed down on a phone call, and 'buzz,' the phone on the table rang again. She picked it up and saw that it was indeed another unknown number. She didn't bother to press it, and with a 'pop,' she threw the phone into the drawer.

She had to buy another phone!

With the company's publicity officially launched, she could no longer stay in the provincial capital. There was no way around it. Not only did some old friends and relatives come knocking, but also a lot of people who had nothing to do with her came knocking under various pretexts.

Asking for specific information was the least of her problems. Some performance groups were even more persistent, finding the company and even her home, all with the intention of performing on stage once. The units ranged from the Children's Palace to the Disabled People's Troupe, and there were even three Children's Palaces that came knocking on her door. God knows how there were so many performance groups in the provincial capital.

Some even went so far as to approach Director Jin, and said, 'We can't be the lead, but how about we be the backup dancers?'

What's even more outrageous is that some people – both in the government and in the business world – passed on the message to her, 'Which female Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars are coming this time? We'll definitely help you introduce them and have dinner with them.'

What do they take her for?

The people who passed on the message were all fired from the company.

Who knew that she would have even more trouble in the capital city? The domestic stars and big names basically all gathered in the capital city, and their talent agencies were even more omnipotent. As soon as she arrived at the airport, she received a phone call from her talent agency, and after that it was one after the other, so much so that someone from the company called to ask for her instructions, and the phone calls could not even get through.

Of course, if you are determined, it is actually not difficult to find her phone number, as it is in the contact list posted by every company.

These people who introduced her were all from different backgrounds. For example, many of them were from various cultural troupes, winners of previous youth singing competitions, and some of them were the most popular singers in the mainland in the past two years. Among them, there were quite a few who already had a famous song – and later, they relied on this famous song to stay in the industry. When the managers called, they almost used the phrase 'half of the mainland music scene' to describe their artists.

Among them, there are two that Feng Yiping has discussed with her about hiring. It just so happened that time was right to discuss the performance contract. For the others, no matter how famous you are, I'm sorry, I respectfully decline.

However, how would all these people be willing to give up so easily?

Looking at the list of names that Jiasheng posted, they knew that such a concert would definitely be one of the most influential concerts in China this year, which is to say that it would be slightly inferior to the Spring Festival Gala stage. Whether they were second-tier or third-tier, as long as they could have the opportunity to perform on the same stage as these most popular people in the Chinese music scene once, wouldn't that also be a kind of qualification and affirmation?

Some of the more flexible ones took the initiative to lower their price, but was this the main factor?

If the event is organised by a TV station, it might work if you give gifts to the relevant leaders and ask your godfathers and godmothers to say hello. But Jiasheng is a company, not an institution, and this is not the way to go.

The head of the marketing department came in, holding a stack of contracts. 'President Jin, these are the merchants that have agreed to participate in the end-of-month promotional activities,'

'What are the terms?' Jin Ling asked.

'Some have agreed to participate in the buy-two-get-one-free or buy-one-get-one-free promotions for individual products, and others have also agreed to pay promotional fees of varying amounts,'

'That's good. Sort it out as soon as possible and publicise it on the company website in time. Also, don't wait until you have all the materials together to print the paper promotional materials. You can print them in batches,'

'Okay, I got it,'

The holiday sales promotion implemented this year is still very effective, but after the Dragon Boat Festival promotion, the next major holiday will not be until the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a bit of a long interval.

It's not like there aren't any holidays in between, but you're kidding yourself if you're going to rely on the Party Foundation Day and Army Foundation Day for commercial promotions!

So Feng Yiping came up with this idea from the subsequent move of e-commerce companies to create shopping festivals.

Although the subsequent Singles' Day is driven by the need for manufacturers to run sales before the end of the year, complete their annual sales plan, and dispose of slow-moving inventory, the pressure to sell and slow-moving products were also there in the first half of the year, and many manufacturers also had to market new products they had launched, so it all just happened to coincide.

There are now 613 Jia stores, and new stores are opening at a rate of more than one per day. Jia is the leader among domestic convenience stores in terms of the number of stores, geographical coverage, and sales. Even the two types of Cola, which are so popular, have to be taken seriously.

The mobile phone that had been thrown into the drawer was still vibrating tirelessly. Jin Ling didn't even bother to look at it. In the past two days, when various companies had needed to get in touch with her, they had all used the landline.

She suddenly felt a little hatred for Feng Yiping, who was probably carefree on the grassland right now, horseback riding and enjoying the scenery. It was all your trouble, and you just went off to the grassland with your tail between your legs, leaving me to deal with everything.

She dialed Feng Yiping's phone number, and the sound of the wind and the neighing of the horse could be heard on the line. She was even more upset, and didn't want to ask him what he was doing. 'I want to buy a mobile phone,'

Feng Yiping was riding a white horse and had stopped. For the first time in his life, he was excited and blushed. So he didn't ask any questions. 'You've worked hard, Jinling. Go buy it. The latest Nokia 8850 is good. It suits a golden-collar beauty like you,'

Huang Jingping, who was standing nearby, shouted, 'Sister Jin, I bought you a nice handmade carpet.'

Jin Ling suddenly felt uninterested and said, "Thank you, Jingping, be careful when you play," and hung up the phone.

Feng Yiping and the others had a great time today. When they arrived at the grassland, the thing everyone wanted to experience most was, of course, horseback riding. In various film and television works, the shots of people galloping on horseback are so dashing!

But it is also a technical activity. Even the tamest horse cannot be ridden by an average person without some training.

Although riding a horse does not require a driving licence like driving a car, the consequences of riding without a licence are even more serious. You can still apply the brakes with a car, but there are no brakes for you to apply on a horse.

Since you are the only one who does not care about safety, and for safety reasons, the scenic spot cannot let you ride a horse freely, so most people ride on the backs of horses led by herdsmen, posing in various heroic and valiant postures.

A safer option is to ride a camel. That big guy is docile, and you won't be able to make it run 70 yards.

But Feng Yiping and the others didn't have this problem. After breakfast, Bai Yin followed them around, which was equivalent to personal service. Feng Yiping repeatedly declined, but he had to go first.

Bai Yin first let Chaolu ride him for a while, and then specially found a white horse with a good temperament, that was obedient and good-looking, so Feng Yiping got to experience the feeling of riding a horse with a whip in the enclosure – it wasn't really running, the horse was just walking a little faster than usual, because Chaolu could easily keep up with it even when running outside the enclosure.

Later, they trotted for a short while, but Feng Yiping was very happy about it, as were his parents, who took plenty of photos of him from all angles.

With Chaolu's help, Feng Yiping got off the horse. He wanted to learn from the movies and kiss the horse on the forehead, or press his cheek against it. The horse didn't resist, but Feng Yiping himself chickened out – even though the white horse had such a good appearance, it still smelled quite strong, and it was probably several days since it had had a bath.

There was nothing to be done, as water resources on the grasslands were also quite precious.

'Thank you, Brother Chaolu, and thank you, Boss Baiyin,' Feng Yiping felt that he had to make things clear, otherwise Baiyin would arrange something else next.

It would be inconsiderate of him to take all the advantages for himself, but refuse to give in when they asked for something.

Bai Yin heard that he no longer called him 'uncle' but 'boss', and knew that they were going to talk business. 'It's nothing. Come and visit if you have time in the future. Every year, the time of the Nadam is the most lively time. I guess next time, you'll be able to ride around on your own horse,'

'Yes, riding a horse is easy,' Chaolu added.

Of course it's easy for them. Children on the grasslands who aren't tall enough to ride a horse can still ride, just like children in the city who aren't tall enough to ride a bicycle can still ride.

'Thank you both for your kind arrangement, but I really can't refuse. I'll be honest, this song is really useful for me, and I want to use it for company promotion,'

'Brother Yiping, songs like this are only suitable for places like ours. Don't worry, we can make an offer. How about 5,000?' Bai Yin said.

Seeing that Feng Yiping didn't respond, he immediately upped the ante, 'And I'll waive all your expenses for the next two days,'

Sure enough, even the most generous businessmen are just as good at haggling as the Jews.

'Next time you come, I'll give you a discount on food and accommodation?'

'Free accommodation?'

Bai Yin kept upping the ante, and the conditions he later offered were equivalent to giving Feng Yiping a gold card.

'It's really not a matter of price,' Feng Yiping said. 'I really do have an arrangement. Is this okay? When the time is right, I'll authorise you to sing this song, okay?'
