The president is committing suicide

Qiao Shen shook his wine glass and couldn't help curling up his lips: "It's rare for you to praise me like this."

Ding Jiaying held out her cup and lowered it slightly to touch the rim of his cup: "Cheers to you and your career."

"Thank you. Would you consider joining in?" Qiao took a sip.

"Is there any compensation?" Ding Jiaying explained, "The company does not belong to me alone. I can give up my share, but the other shareholders and employees of the company still have to make a living."

"I understand." Qiao Shen is not an outsider who knows nothing. It is normal for Ding Jiaying to have such thoughts. After all, a company cannot give "big pie" to everyone in the company just because of the feelings she said. Employees still have to support themselves and their families, and they also have their own dreams to realize.

Ding Jiaying was willing to join just after he said this, which made him overjoyed.

"We can offer compensation, but it is definitely lower than other projects. Although we have attracted some corporate sponsorship and invested funds, we want to keep most of the funds for the intangible cultural heritage inheritance itself. Therefore, the money spent on publicity is only slightly more than the cost of coverage."

Traditional media have some indicators for this matter, and the funding is relatively sufficient, so there is no problem in doing it.

For small companies like ours, every activity has corresponding expenses behind it. It would be a thankless task if we can only barely recover the costs after spending real money.

Ding Jiaying herself is willing to do this, but she is also a businessman now and has to consider other people. She cannot force them to pay for her own feelings.

"This doesn't sound like a good deal." Ding Jiaying admitted that just making a promotional video doesn't give us much chance of winning.

Qiao Shen's apology was also very sincere: "I'm sorry, as a friend, it would be better if you didn't accept it. After all, young people are chasing after national trends, and they are also very picky about these media publicity. If you don't do it to their satisfaction, you may end up in a thankless position and be criticized."

"High requirements? Quite difficult?" Ding Jiaying knew that he was telling the truth.

"Yes." Ding Jiaying was not someone who could be easily fooled. Qiao Shen felt that it was understandable that she would not agree. After all, the reason for inviting so many people was because only a few would agree.

If the base is large enough, there will be more companies left willing to lend a hand, right?

"So, you paid for such a big event with so many people and so many experts and scholars to come on stage? Or was it you who paid for it?" Ding Jiaying looked around.

Qiao Shen's eyes never left Ding Jiaying's: "How did you know?"

"The jade factory was recently demolished and its profits are not good. I have seen the live broadcast room, but few people asked about it all night. The original masters in the factory have set up their own studios and are just waiting for retirement. The situation of the lacquerware factory is not much better. They used to make large items, such as furniture and screens. It is not uncommon to sell items worth tens of thousands or even millions. But the thing in your hand now is well made. In other words, the sales of large items have been blocked. Both of them are state-owned. Where do they get the money to host this event?" Ding Jiaying tapped her forehead with her finger, "You will know if you think about it. You have also invited a national media documentary director and creative team. I can only say that the idea is good and they can bring audio-visual effects. In the end, whether the effect will drive sales will depend on the publicity effect of small companies like us."

"You're so arrogant?" There seemed to be light in Ding Jiaying's eyes when she said this, and Qiao Shen's smile deepened.

"Whether it's bragging or not, you'll know if you try it." Ding Jiaying's eyes were fascinating.

"How to try?"

"Let's add a clause to our cooperation agreement that will allow us to have exclusive access to trailers. We don't ask for more, just 1% of the sales. How about that?" Ding Jiaying stated her conditions.

From a business perspective, Ding Jiaying's conditions were not harsh. After all, the money she could offer was really small. If she could sell some of them, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

"What does exclusive mean?" Qiao was very interested in learning more about it.

Ding Jiaying smiled and said, "I haven't figured this out yet. Should we be the exclusive agent for the masters' works, or should we select the styles first and be exclusive to certain styles? We need to discuss this in depth. This is the intention for now. What do you think?"

Qiao Shen touched his chin and said, "Other companies are selling popular products with relatively low prices. It seems that you are planning to do the opposite?"

"It's the same approach as the small boutiques you mentioned. There are enough niches among young people today who are willing to pay for their own unique aesthetic tastes. On the contrary, popular things are just a gust of wind and will easily pass. Accounts that make a quick buck are also easily forgotten and have low user stickiness."

Ding Jiaying didn't look like someone who understood these things, and Qiao Shen was a little surprised to hear that.

"Go on."

"Our current account is somewhat different from the common account types in the market. We recommend some uncommon and unique styles and products made with craftsmanship, which is probably more in line with the tone of the account and the creative atmosphere of the company. This is more likely to stand out."

Qiao Shen thought that the company's development depended on Xiao Ruyi's public relations and mediation skills, and that the work was done by other employees. Ding Jiaying was busy all day just signing in the office.

In his impression, she was just a nominal major shareholder of the company who had a financial backer behind her who brought money into the company and exchanged money for shares.

After all, the previous negotiations were completed with the assistance of other employees.

Now it seems that I underestimated Ding Jiaying's abilities.

As the topic deepened, Qiao Shen's eyes showed more and more appreciation for Ding Jiaying.

Although they couldn't spend the entire night here, Ding Jiaying and Qiao Shen had already agreed on the time and place for their next meeting before leaving.

A man who has been away for three days is looked at with new eyes.

Ding Jiaying's impression of Qiao Shen also improved greatly because of tonight, from a unlucky guy to an unlucky guy who was actively thinking about big things while lying in a puddle.

What was more surprising was that I saw the uncle who made terrible coffee at the venue.

"Uncle Daping, why are you here too?" Ding Jiaying saw that the uncle was also looking at her, with his head tilted as if he was thinking about his own name.

He grinned and pointed, "Isn't this that guy?"

"Who?" Ding Jiaying asked deliberately with blinking eyes.

He patted his pockets and said, "The girl who couldn't back out of the alley at Xueye Primary School."

Ding Jiaying was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She should be thankful that he still said she was a girl.

"Were you also tricked by Qiao Shen?"
