In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 227: Things that harm others and benefit yourself are worth doing

These days, the voices of marketing and promotion brand managers and supervisors of various car companies scolding anchor Xiong have become much less frequent.

It’s not that they don’t curse, but these car companies have limited online influence.

What they are good at is still the outdated gameplay of old media and Weibo.

They mainly just complained on their respective Weibo accounts, flattering each other and scolding the anchor Xiong for being unsportsmanlike.

They shouted that you should never do business with their brand.

It really couldn't hurt Zi Xiaowei at all.

He doesn't even have his own account, so all the insults have no target.

In the end, it was the internet celebrity account Tingbaobao that suffered the most, and there was a lot of abuse in the background.

This is also the biggest reason why Zi Xiaowei wants to reach further cooperation with Jiangan Automobile.

Since we can’t do business with other car companies.

You can't completely tie yourself down to Ella Cars or Changjiang Cars.

Do you really want to work with Assistant Chang to create a baby?

What's the difference between this and marrying into the wife's family?

If things turn sour here, won’t we be left with nowhere to go in the automotive industry?

Just like he didn't dare let Diane control all of his business areas.

Aquaman always has a few backup plans.

But the new forces were much more harsh in their criticism.

Because since the Evita live broadcast before New Year’s Day, the sales of several new forces in the auto industry have declined to varying degrees since the beginning of the new year!
There is a detailed weekly sales ranking based on registration data from across the country.

In the first week, Evita made great strides into the top three SUVs in the country and even topped the list!
Then the delivery data never dropped.

Then the following week, the old news of the Changpai car accident was revived, causing the sales data of Changpai SUV to surge to the top three.

The biggest reason why new forces were squeezed out of the list is that their own sales data has declined significantly.

In the absence of any policy factors, we can only say that the nonsense of a super internet celebrity anchor has affected consumer confidence.

People who come from the internet background also have this characteristic. They are well aware of the power of the internet and the influence of super internet celebrities.

I didn't confront the host directly, deliberately cooling down the topic, but I couldn't help but make all kinds of sarcastic remarks:
"Damn, I hate it when some laymen keep babbling."

"Someone is undermining the efforts of new car manufacturers to improve domestic manufacturing. Is there no one to stop it?"

"Just wait and see. As long as you walk in the martial arts world, you will be bitten by this big mouth sooner or later. I'll wait here and watch!"

Among them, the boss who was scolded by Lao Chang as a product manager was the one who said the most weird things.

Last night, while having a few drinks and chatting, Chang Yueling even jokingly scolded the company's legal department for being notoriously outrageous and sending out lawyers' letters of warning at every turn.

But you don’t dare to warn Anchor Xiong?
There now seem to be countless ways to proactively bring this scene to light.

This is a slap in the face of this domestic brand, which is currently the best-selling brand in the price range of over 400,000 yuan.

So should we tell it or not?

Looking at the busy engineers, Zi Xiaowei was a little puzzled. Didn’t the major car companies in the country buy one to take back and disassemble their competitors?
Or do you think this part is insignificant?

After all, for those who care about safety, laymen mainly look at the front and rear bumpers, while experts look at the cockpit cage.

The center console bracket is not important, but it is not that important either.

The most important thing is that this car and the V8 six-seater that will be on the live broadcast room in a few days are basically overlapping competitors!

Releasing this information at this time inevitably makes people doubt the motives.

However, this behavior of harming talents for personal gain is completely inconsistent with Zi Xiaowei's support for all domestic new energy brands.

He was just reminding users who spend a lot of money to be cautious when paying for some experimental products from the perspective of consumers.

So the marketing director first instructed: "How about this, take some photos and give me a few similar models from other brands. I'll buy them and take them apart to see, especially this center console frame, and make a comparison video."

Just then I remembered: "Oh, I still have a ready-made NIO and HiPhi car. I'll give them to you to disassemble and compare them."

The engineers were both happy and wailing. Who could stand this kind of overtime?

But I couldn't help but feel the joy of dismantling the car.

No one asked them to dismantle so much overnight last night.

Zi Xiaowei quickly said he would apply for overtime pay for the CEO, citing tight deadlines. The new model needed to be released quickly, or else the market would miss out. Everyone sighed in delight. 996 was already the norm for these OEMs, and now it looked like it was going to rise to 724!

Zi Xiaowei never considered himself a capitalist. "As for whether or not you should work hard when you're young, I'm not into PUA. The sales of the V8 may have nothing to do with you, but the sales of the Ella nanny car are definitely closely related to your design and research and development. The marketing center focuses on internet sales, so it doesn't have that much sales expenses. I'll discuss with the CEO and take half of the profit share given to me by the company's sales to reward the R&D team."

Last time, Chang Yueling mentioned that many newly recruited OEM engineers have an annual salary starting at 100,000 before tax, while the sales system can often earn more than double this income due to commissions.

At that time, Zi Xiaowei wanted to focus on research and development.

In the era of the Internet and live streaming, marketing is no longer king, but products are king.

The so-called car sales champions are mainly due to the strong demand for car consumption and the market recognition of the product strength of various brands.

Just like real estate sales, properties and prices are the core. Sales are just a connecting comprador in the entire system. Why should they get the lion's share?

If the salesmen of the education and training institutions earned more than the teachers, they would have been furious and cursed.

Now all the young people in the R&D center cheered.

They really confirmed that Ella Automotive might have a better future than developing within the group.

Anyway, after lunch, Zi Xiaowei was analyzing the key points of the afternoon's final exam with Shi Liang and others.

Maizi helplessly called again: "The CEO asked me to tell the brand marketing director that she really recognizes your efforts in promoting the development of the company and hopes that you can devote more energy to this..."

I listened to her deliberately pronounced Cantonese, and she especially emphasized the intonation on certain words.

You know someone is listening.

Zi Xiaowei laughed heartily: "Tell President Chang for me to speak properly at work and stop beating around the bush and playing house."

Maizi also said seriously: "I will pass it on to Susanna. Susanna, is there anything else you want to pass on to... Mr. Wei, do you have an English name? It will make our company look more formal."

Chang Yueling finally burst into laughter over there.

He must have found it hilarious to flirt through his secretary.

He also instructed the design assistant secretary to bring the marketing director into the R&D team's design group to help him lead these young people.

Zi Xiaowei could clearly see that she had the same idea as Dai Annie, who wanted to be a hands-off boss.

Zhou Linpeng hurried back to take his exam around 3 p.m., then reported to Zi Xiaowei, "That piece of land was already acquired by a real estate company, but for various reasons, it's been abandoned and no construction has begun. The main reason must be lack of funds. So when we submitted our application to the relevant authorities, we emphasized that this was a cash investment from the recently renowned Tingbao Media, which had just taken over the work-study program at the Science Park across the street..."

What Zi Xiaowei cared about was the training his roommates received during the process: "How was it? What did they gain?"

Zhou Linpeng thought about it carefully and said, "Now I have a good understanding of the entire process, but things in society don't seem to be completely related to the process. I often say one thing and do another. I need to learn it slowly."

Zi Xiaowei was about to joke that getting a girlfriend was the real thing, but he quickly added to the burden: "Winter vacation is only two or three days away, but businesses and institutions still have more than a week off. Can you keep an eye on this matter for the next few days?"

Zhou Linpeng agreed immediately: "No problem. I'm going to check out the underwear industrial park anyway. I...will definitely try to get my driver's license before March. Can Tingbao help me find a car? It's cheap and drivable. Liangzi's is good!"

The Dream Car hatchback that Shi Liang drives, a car priced in the hundreds of thousands of yuan range, is very cool even if it can only be parked outside the campus.

Zi Xiaowei hummed: "Let's see who gets the driver's license first, you or Wang Xiaotong."

Zhou Linpeng immediately felt a little scared again: "She is more powerful..."

Zi Xiaowei didn't say much and hurried to take the exam.

For a gold medal teacher like him who has mastered the test-oriented education system, this kind of textbook test should not be too easy.

But after walking out of the examination room, Zi Xiaowei casually opened his mobile phone and found that he had received a message from the sales director of the business district in his WeChat account, which was usually muted and had all message push notifications turned off.

"Hello, I just got news from the district. Does Tingbao Media have any real estate operations needs?"

Zi Xiaowei often goes to the two design centers these days to get busy, and he also observes this empty technology business park.

The business occupancy rate is really low.

Then he responded ambiguously: "Oh? What suggestions do you have?"

The reply came immediately: "We can definitely take over this already established business park. The price is definitely negotiable, and we can continue to use the proven methods."

The weekly cash installment of five million has already strained the family's finances. It is really not easy to raise cash now.

If it weren't for the huge and abundant cash flow of Annie Underwear, the several branches around the clothing industrial park would not be willing to do this kind of work of withdrawing one or two million in cash every week.

If the funds for purchasing a park are increased to the point where they have to be paid in cash, that would be too outrageous.

What's more, Zi Xiaowei and Lao Mai discussed building their own industrial park. Wasn't it just to eliminate the middlemen and make a profit from the price difference, and to invest the full amount directly to design and build it themselves?

Why do we have to let the other party make a profit?

Declined.
