Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 271 You are the most powerful person I have ever seen

Monday, advanced mathematics class.

It was only after Xu Chen came to Tonghai University that he realized that most of the advanced mathematics courses in universities across the country use textbooks published by Tonghai University.

The person giving the lecture on the stage at that moment was a somewhat bald mathematics teacher.

During the first class two weeks ago, the teacher wrote his own weird name on the blackboard...

Xu Chen was bored and flipping through a book, only to find that the unremarkable teacher in front of him was actually one of the authors of the textbook.

Knowing the teacher's identity, I couldn't help but listen more seriously.

Although the course is obscure and boring, the opportunity to listen to lectures by "famous professors" is extremely rare.

……

During the break, I received an email from Chen Xinyi from the marketing department of Jiaduobao.

Xu Chen's flight tickets and hotel in Yangcheng have been booked, and Chen Xinyi has sent the travel order information.

The flight is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, and I can take two more classes tomorrow.

Both the school and the college are very flexible in asking for advice. The only thing is that if you take leave for a course more than a certain percentage, you must retake it.

So if possible, try to take more classes...

The proposal meeting is scheduled for Wednesday morning.

The email mentioned that in addition to Nie Fei, there was another senior leader of Jiaduobao.

Xu Chen was a little surprised. After all, the previous communication was that he only needed to make the proposal to Nie Fei.

Nie Fei is currently the vice president of marketing channels of Jiaduobao and has decision-making power in the marketing module.

I don’t know why, but suddenly there’s another “senior official” coming over…

For proposal reporting, clarifying the reporting object is also a very important preparatory work.

Xu Chen sent a message directly to Chen Xinyi, asking about the identity of this senior leader and why this leader came.

Chen Xinyi quickly replied:
"Mr. Chen Jinru is the managing director of our company and also Sister Fei's boss."

"He came to listen, mainly because the 'high-end mineral water' product line is very important in the company. After all, it is the only product line developed besides Wang Laoshun...

Mr. Chen happened to be in mainland China this month, and we were working together to make decisions on several matters regarding high-end aquatic products.

He has participated in several recent internal reports and external proposals related to high-end water.”

“But Teacher Xu Chen can rest assured that under normal circumstances, Mr. Chen will still take Sister Fei’s opinion as the main consideration.

He was just there to listen in.”

……

When Xu Chen saw the words "Managing Director", he remembered something.

In the previous life, the lawsuit between Jiaduobao and Guangzhou Pharmaceutical over the "Wang Laoshun" brand was also very turbulent and caused a stir both inside and outside the industry.

In the end, the court ruled that the "Wang Laoshun" brand returned to Guangzhou Pharmaceutical.

Afterwards, Jiaduobao had no choice but to launch its own brand of red can herbal tea, and only by sponsoring several large-scale marketing activities such as "The Voice of China" did it avoid completely losing this piece of market cake.

One of the important reasons why Jiaduobao "lost" the lawsuit at that time was that they used some non-compliant and illegal means to obtain the brand authorization extension of "Wang Laoshun".

After the incident was exposed, the two big bosses in the management of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical and Jiaduobao were both sentenced.

Xu Chen was not sure whether the "Managing Director" Chen Jinru was the one who handled all these matters internally at Jiaduobao.

Of course, Xu Chen was thinking about this matter not purely out of gossip and curiosity.

He was mainly thinking about "poaching" Nie Fei and finding a way to bring "Sister Fei" to his own Ranbing Sports business.

Within Jiaduobao lies the huge root of the problem of "Wang Laoshun" brand authorization.

In fact, for Nie Fei, staying in Jiaduobao may not be a good thing.

If Jiaduobao encounters a "crisis", Nie Fei may come out, and there will be a greater chance to bring her to "Ranbing Sports".

Of course, there is a situation that Xu Chen cannot be sure of and is not willing to see, that is, Nie Fei may also have participated in those non-compliant and illegal operations.

If that is the case, it would be very risky to let Nie Fei participate in Ranbing Sports in the future.

……

If Xu Chen remembered correctly, the lawsuit between Jiaduobao and Wang Laoshun broke out four or five years later.

Ranbing Sports certainly can’t wait four or five years.

Xu Chen thought that perhaps he still had some room for maneuver.

On the one hand, it is still necessary to determine whether Nie Fei participated in or knew about those "disgraceful" things in advance, which is also very important for judging Nie Fei's character.

Although Xu Chen still admired the intelligence and abilities of this "Sister Fei", their contact with her was not that in-depth after all.

On the other hand, if Nie Fei himself is not a problem, perhaps he can take advantage of the crisis hidden by Jiaduo Bao and pull Nie Fei over.

Xu Chen has also considered this during this period and believes that the launch and implementation of "Ranbing Sports" still requires a knowledgeable professional manager.

Although Xu Chen is confident, he is not blindly confident.

Any industry and track still has unknown cognitive barriers.

What's more, the supply chain, distribution channels, etc. still require people in the industry to control the details.

As the former brand director of Nike Greater China, Nie Fei is undoubtedly the most suitable person for the position.

The most important point is...

Xu Chen didn't want to make himself too tired.

After being reborn and finally "cultivating" my biological father, I really don't want to struggle anymore.

I just want to be a “person behind the scenes”, to be more relaxed and casual.

……

After thinking for a while, Xu Chen had already figured out some operational paths for the matter of Jiaduobao and Nie Fei.

But it seems that there is still a lack of a suitable key opportunity.

But there is no need to rush.

It just so happens that I’m on a business trip to Yangcheng this time, and as for the “Kunlun Mountain” project, I’ll take a closer look at it and think about it.

……

The second class in the morning was an "animation class".

Animation is also a strong major in our college and ranks high in the country.

But unfortunately, the national animation industry in 06 was far from prosperous.

Just as this class is talking about the "History of Domestic Animation", the animation industry in mainland China was once at the top level in the world.

In the era of "Havoc in Heaven" and "Little Tadpole Looking for His Mother", China's animation technology and artistic level even surpassed that of Japan at the same time.

Unfortunately, in the following decades until 06, the animation industry, which had been "marketized", had instead entered a period of decline.

Therefore, even though Tonghai University's animation major ranks high in the country, students still face the difficulty of finding jobs after graduation.

……

While I was distracted in class, I received a message from Sun Amy.

The three manuscripts of "Gao Gu Jie Gu Chi Toothpaste" have been completed and sent over.

Xu Chen took a look at it on his mobile phone and was very satisfied.

Sun Amy's design level is really top-notch.

This is a submission to the "College Student Advertising Competition", but the design level produced by Sun Amy is already high enough to be directly "put online".

Xu Chen replied:
[The manuscript is very good, please accept it!]

Thank you, Teacher Amy. I will talk to the finance department and the 'labor fee' will be paid within this week...]

According to the previous agreement, which is also the current "private order" price in the industry, one manuscript costs two thousand yuan, which is equivalent to six thousand yuan in labor fees.

Xu Chen is a "law-abiding" boss, so naturally he has to pay Sun Amy as agreed.

Besides, since they were considering recruiting her to Dongchen Advertising, they naturally couldn't be stingy. Xu Chen replied:

[I told you yesterday that there is a background image for the PPT that needs help from Teacher Amy. ]

Amy Sun: [No problem, just ask Teacher Xu Chen to send it to me. It will be processed quickly and will be returned to you today.]

Xu Chen: [Okay, I’ll send it during my lunch break.]

……

During the break, Xu Chen looked for the class monitor Min Siyi who was sitting in the front row.

"Squad leader, I need to ask for leave for the next two days."

"Okay! I'll help you report to the academy."

Min Siyi remembered something else:

"You don't have a dinner date?"

Xu Chen was stunned: "Ah?"

Min Siyi: "Huo Dashan and I are treating you to a meal. We haven't thanked you for what happened last time!"

Xu Chen smiled and did not refuse:
"Great! I didn't expect to get a free meal from the two squad leaders!"

……

……

At noon, Xu Chen went to the hamburger shop at the school gate, packed a lunch, and went straight to his office in Tonghai Creative Design Building.

While eating lunch, he checked several manuscripts sent by Sun Amy.

I couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

Winning a prize in the advertising competition is a sure thing!

He also sent two PPT background images to Sun Amy.

Xu Chen thought about it and decided that it would be better to keep the reporting plan for "Kunlun Mountain Mineral Water" confidential, so he did not give it all to Sun Amy.

I just asked her for two background images to be used as the background for the PPT.

At the same time, Xu Chen will make some adjustments after getting it and put together a main poster for the product.

Unexpectedly, Sun Amy received the two pictures and replied:

[Teacher Xu Chen, this project you are working on is not going to be Jiaduobao's high-end mineral water, right? ]

Xu Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Sun Amy actually knew about this project.

But he understood it immediately.

Heiju Marketing and Jiaduobao are both located in Guangzhou. Heiju also has several fast-moving consumer goods clients. It is highly likely that Jiaduobao has also approached Heiju to come up with a plan.

As expected, Amy Sun replied:
[For this project, Heiju also participated in the proposal and competition last week, and I also participated in a part of it.

However, the customer department reported that Jiaduobao is still waiting for a solution...

I really didn't expect that I was actually waiting for Teacher Xu Chen's proposal. 】

[In Fu Yanjie's previous competition, Hei Jue ran into Dong Chen and lost to Teacher Xu Chen.

It seems that we, Black Duke, are going to lose this project again...】

Seeing Sun Amy's reply, Xu Chen couldn't help but smile.

He thought about it and replied:
[A few months ago, I cooperated with Jiaduobao on the "Wang Laoshun" project plan, so they are more accepting of Dongchen's products.

This time, the branding plan for high-end mineral water also gave us project requirements...】

Amy Sun:
【Wang Laoshun? The case of “fear of getting angry”, could it be from the hand of Teacher Xu Chen? 】

Xu Chen: [Yes, that slogan was proposed by me!]

Sun Amy was silent for a long time before replying:

[Teacher Xu Chen, you are amazing. I never thought that the project on “fear of getting angry” was also done by you…

In that case, Heiju Marketing has lost to you twice in a row.

We also participated in the competition for Wang Laoshun's project half a year ago. We spent almost two months on the proposal, but in the end the client did not adopt our proposal.

Later they said they went to "collect proposals nationwide", but I didn't expect that in the end they used Teacher Xu Chen's proposal! 】

Xu Chen:

[I also participated in the "recruitment" at that time, mainly because "Dongchen Advertising" had not yet been registered. ]

Amy Sun:
[Teacher Xu Chen, you are so amazing...

You are the most amazing advertising person I have ever seen since I entered the industry!

He is much better than our director and group director.

I have benefited a lot from working with you on these two or three projects and learned a lot! 】

Xu Chen: [Teacher Amy is so polite! ]

Amy Sun: [Teacher Xu Chen, for the Jiaduobao high-end water project, after the confidentiality period is over, can you send me the plan for me to study? ]

Xu Chen smiled. This was exactly the result he wanted.

[There’s no need to exceed the confidentiality period. I trust Teacher Amy very much.

Can you take a leave of absence this Wednesday morning? You can go with me to the client to make a proposal. 】

Amy Sun: [Really?!]

Xu Chen: [Really? I'm going alone here, and you can help me out if you come along.]

Amy Sun: [That’s great, thank you Teacher Xu Chen for giving me the opportunity to study!

I'm fine on Wednesday, as I don't have any projects to do during this period.

Since Mr. Li Fengfeng's accident, our team has not been busy with any projects for the time being...】

Xu Chen: [Then I will sync Wednesday's schedule with you first, and we can talk in person when I arrive in Guangzhou! ]

Amy Sun: [No problem, see you in Guangzhou, Teacher Xu Chen! ]

……

After closing the computer, Xu Chen continued to eat the unfinished burger.

Everything went as expected, everything went as planned.

The two projects, Wang Laoshun and Kunlun Mountain, can basically consolidate Sun Amy's confidence in "Dongchen Advertising".

Let’s talk more when we get to Guangzhou. I think we can probably recruit Sun Amy over here.

Xu Chen had just learned that after Li Fengfeng's accident, Sun Amy seemed to have been affected as well.

This just happened to mean that she was facing some crisis in Black Duke, and it was a good opportunity for her to escape.

Sun Amy’s joining Dongchen Advertising will help solve many problems, and it will also be easier to promote some subsequent work.

Dongchen Advertising, Xu Chen is in charge of planning and creativity, Sun Amy is in charge of design and production, and the financial administration can be reused from Chenfeng Technology...

This can be considered a decent advertising company.

……

After the afternoon class, Xu Chen walked out of the north building classroom carrying his bag. Min Siyi and Huo Dashan were already waiting outside.

"What would you like to eat, Boss Xu?" Huo Dashan asked with a smile.

Xu Chen smiled and said, "I'm not picky about food. I just follow the host's wishes."

"Then I'll treat you to Sichuan cuisine. It's just across the street from the main entrance of the school."

Sichuan girl Min Siyi said with a smile.

Xu Chen: "Okay! I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time!"
