The equipment exhibition continued the next day, and Chen Longqi's speech in front of the Chuangtu Technology booth had spread. The originally unknown small company became popular for a while. Many publicity and promotion personnel from other companies came to get information, and before leaving, they did not forget to leave their company's contact information, hoping to have more exchanges and communication in the future. There were also people from local telecommunications departments who came to inquire about the details of the ICMM01 machine and expressed certain intentions for cooperation.
The purpose of participating in the equipment exhibition this time was, first, to gain fame, second, to make friends, and third, to preheat the product launch. It was expected that the above goals could be basically accomplished before the end of the exhibition. Unexpectedly, by chance, with the help of Chen Longqi, the task was exceeded in just one day.
Wen Liang stayed in Beijing for another three days. He first met with Wan Siwei privately and discussed the details of the layout of Xi Jingwei's establishment of a joint venture in Xichuan. Then he went to the Phoenix Bird headquarters to listen to Meng Fan's work report during this period. Phoenix Bird's focus in the second half of the year will be on cooperating with Bencao Ruolan to do market promotion and marketing, as well as the overseas distribution of "China Can Say No" and more than a dozen advertising projects under negotiation. Wen Liang is very sure of Meng Fan's ability. Not only did he perfectly achieve a smooth transition of management, but he also further developed and expanded on the basis laid by Fan Bo. Reflected in the financial report, it is estimated that the figures at the end of the year will definitely give people a surprise.
In view of the fact that the current business scope of the company has far exceeded that at the beginning of its establishment, and it has involved media operations, planning and investment, brand promotion, cultural publishing and other aspects, Wen Liang asked Meng Fan to start the reorganization of the company, integrate the advantageous resources of government, enterprises, media and market, and divide it into four major departments: administrative center, entertainment center, advertising center, and marketing center, which are further divided into administrative, management, design, market, planning, training and other institutions. He also rented two entire floors of the building where the company is located as an office space, recruited talents, and gathered them, making it a leader in the industry!
While Wen Liang was busy with Phoenix Bird affairs, Lin Jing and others also started public relations in Beijing. According to the list given by Xi Jingwei, they visited the experts who might attend the product appraisal meeting one by one to pave the way for the appraisal meeting in November. With the equipment exhibition and Diaoyutai dinner as foreplay, Chuangtu Technology's name is no longer as unknown as before coming to Beijing, so it is much easier to deal with these experts who look sanctimonious but are actually ruthless. No one asks for too much, and no one deliberately makes things difficult. They are all smart people who eat this bowl of rice. There are still many opportunities to make a fortune together in the future. There is no need to cut off the long-term business at one stroke, which is called losing more than gaining.
On the third night, before leaving Beijing, Wen Liang gathered the people from Phoenix Bird and Chuangtu together for a meal, so that the two sides could get to know each other and communicate with each other about any problems in Beijing, and also to start a new cooperation in the future. After everyone sat down, Wen Liang pointed at Meng Fan beside him and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Meng from Phoenix Bird. He has some connections in the government and the media. When you come to Beijing to do business in the future, you can ask him for help if you need anything in this regard."
Meng Fan did not dare to be arrogant. He stood up, smiled and bowed, saying, "Boss, you are too kind. We are all family. Don't ask for help. Just tell me if you need anything!"
If the popularity of "China Can Say No" still lingers in the era of Fan Bo, the Feihuang operation planned for Bencao Ruolan has established Meng Fan's reputation in the industry. Now he is a well-known entrepreneur in Beijing, and everyone talks and laughs with him. He is particularly decisive, has a sharp work style, and is very aggressive in management and operation. He has a special charm that is completely different from Fan Bo, and is highly respected and appreciated by some people in the circle.
Yin Yong was recruited by Wen Liang at the beginning, and Fan Bo was the first to do so. Naturally, he knew the relationship between Phoenix Bird and his boss. With his pride, he didn't think Phoenix Bird was anything special. Although Chuangtu was just starting out, its future achievements would definitely be many times higher than that of Chuangtu Technology. Therefore, he was not affected at all and nodded as a greeting. However, Lin Jing only found out at this moment that the nationally renowned Phoenix Bird Cultural Communication Company and Chuangtu Technology had the same boss behind the scenes. The surprised expression on her face was as if she had swallowed ten big duck eggs in one breath. She didn't catch her breath for a long time. Her dull eyes wandered back and forth between Meng Fan and Wen Liang, revealing a rare bit of girlish cuteness.
Meng Fan also brought two people with him. One was Zhou Shijun, the current vice president of Phoenix Bird. He was also an old man from the beginning of Biluochun. His character and ability were both good. Wen Liang had a good impression of him. The other was Shao Yuhua, who was going to be promoted to the director of the reorganized administrative center. He was an elite sea turtle who was poached from the top three cultural companies in Beijing half a year ago. Although Wen Liang had never met him directly, he had heard Meng Fan mention him many times and he was not stingy with his praise. These two were his right-hand men and absolute confidants. He could be completely trusted, so he brought them to the meeting tonight, which was considered as officially entering Wen Liang's core circle.
After everyone introduced themselves to each other, Lin Jing also recovered from her initial shock, and her understanding of Wen Liang increased by several levels. In other words, the character card was updated.
After the meal, they became much warmer to each other. These people were all leaders in their respective industries, and they all had their own little flaws. In other situations, they might dislike each other, but in front of Wen Liang, even Yin Yong did not dare to put on airs. Meng Fan also changed his usual sternness and joked as well as a crosstalk actor. With the addition of two beauties, Lin Jing and Shao Yuhua, the atmosphere of the dinner was extremely lively.
At the end, Zhou Shijun suggested changing the venue, which was immediately agreed by everyone. Wen Liang couldn't bear to spoil the fun, so he followed them to a famous bar called Crescent Bay in Sanlitun. It was the busiest time of the day, and the city night was full of desire and madness. Handsome men and beautiful women twisted their bodies and heads in the flashing neon lights, and the empty spirits and tired souls were comforted and satisfied in the roaring music and the pervasive alcohol.
This place is a product of the times and also a paradise created by the times!
They found a booth in the corner, ordered everyone's favorite drinks, and then played the most popular little game among white-collar workers. The loser would receive some harmless small punishment. Everyone was actually not very old, and they were having a great time. Although Wen Liang was approachable, he was a big boss after all, so no one dared to really tease him. Only Shao Yuhua, who had returned from overseas, didn't care much about the culture of respect and inferiority in China. However, after two attempts to tease, Meng Fan stopped him with a look. Wen Liang knew that he couldn't let go in front of them, so he stood up and said with a smile: "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys play first." Then he sat on a high stool in front of the bar, ordered a glass of Blue Hawaii, drank wine and listened to songs alone, looking at the beautiful women around him, and he was quite happy.
"Handsome guy, buy me a drink."
Wen Liang smelled a pleasant scent of perfume, and when he looked up, he saw a gorgeous woman in fashionable clothes and delicate makeup on her face. He couldn't tell her age, but she should be no more than twenty-five. She had a dazed look in her eyes, and walked unsteadily. She was drunk and sat almost next to him.
Wen Liang smiled. He was a frequent visitor to bars in his previous life. He knew that these pretty girls were just wine-ticket sellers. They looked like they were about to get drunk and were easy to take advantage of. In fact, drinking seven or eight bottles would not be a big deal. If you had any dirty thoughts, it would be easy to fall into the consumption trap.
But Wen Liang did not refuse. He snapped his fingers and asked the bartender to bring a glass of Triple Sec. The girl took it and drank it all. She licked the wine drops on her red lips with the tip of her tongue reluctantly. Then she looked at the wine cabinet with fiery eyes. Her shoulder bumped against Wen Liang's lightly. She put her little hand on her thigh and her mouth was almost close to her ear. She said, "Can you have another glass?"
"It's okay to drink," Wen Liang smiled and moved the girl's hand off her thigh, saying, "If you're willing to sit still!"
The girl looked at Wen Liang in surprise and felt disdain in her heart. She had seen many hypocrites like him. If a beautiful woman took off all her clothes for them to play with, he would be more impatient and disgusting than anyone else. She giggled and said, "So you're a virgin..." But she sat up straight and didn't touch him anymore. She was determined to take advantage of him.
Wen Liang nodded to the bartender, who quickly handed over another glass. The girl leaned over the glass and sniffed it, then raised her neck and drank it all in one gulp, as if a thirsty traveler in the desert had seen a spring of sweet water. The orange liquid flowed down her fair neck into her chest. It was very pleasing to the eye to watch from such a close distance. After ordering ten glasses of wine, even the bartender looked at Wen Liang as if he was a fool. Wen Liang smiled and said, "Okay, you have almost completed your task today. If you drink any more, I will go bankrupt. Let's stop here. It will be better for both the host and the guests to be happy, and everyone will be happy."
The girl was stunned for a moment before she realized that the other party was not a hypocrite and knew her identity from the beginning. Looking at his clear eyes, she couldn't pretend anymore and said awkwardly: "Since you... why are you still... "
"I'm just sitting there bored anyway, so why not have a drink with a beautiful woman?"
Wen Liang was speaking the truth. He was not a hot-blooded young man who felt it was a disgrace to the country when he saw someone's zipper was not zipped up. He was not a so-called righteous person who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. He did not hate girls who did this. Wine touts are not good people, but their existence is reasonable. Any man who was deceived was either greedy for beauty and thought he was lucky in love, or he lacked IQ and pretended to be rich. It is good for such people to learn a lesson.
The girl murmured, not knowing what to say. Wen Liang found it interesting and pointed at a single man sitting not far away, saying, "I'm out of money, but that man looks like a nouveau riche. If you feel that you haven't earned enough tonight, why not try your luck over there?"
The girl felt too embarrassed to sit down again. Just as she was about to leave, Lin Jing came over from the booth, glanced at her, and smiled, saying, "Boss, they were afraid that you were drunk, so they asked me to come over and take a look..."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "I didn't drink much, haha."
Seeing that Lin Jing was far inferior to her in terms of temperament, appearance and manners, the girl felt even more embarrassed when she heard Wen Liang's teasing tone. She suddenly took out money from her coat pocket and threw it in front of Wen Liang, saying, "You are so ugly, I won't do business with you!"
After saying that, he walked away. Wen Liang looked at the money on the table, which was about the same as the money he had used to buy the girl a drink. He realized that she was paying him back in disguise. It seemed that she still had some shame, but she was not hopeless. It was just that the words created too much ambiguity, as if the two were talking about something shameful. Lin Jing opened her mouth slightly, but she did not feel embarrassed like other subordinates who bumped into their boss's embarrassment. Instead, she sat next to him and smiled at Wen Liang without saying a word.
Wen Liang pushed the money to the bartender and said, "Give this lady a glass of Baileys..."
"No, I want a Bloody Mary!"
Wen Liang looked at her in surprise. Lin Jing tilted her head and smiled, "Why, Boss, you can talk business with that little girl, but I can't drink a glass of Bloody Mary?"
Wen Liang laughed and said, "Okay, I'll buy you a Bloody Mary and keep what happened just now a secret for me, how about that?"
"make a deal!"
The lights in the bar suddenly dimmed, leaving only two rows of footlights shining on the stage. A long-haired girl dressed in black, holding a guitar, sat alone in the center of the stage. Her heavenly voice instantly echoed in her ears as the melodious melody played.
People often meet each other in life. Wen Liang never thought that he would meet this girl again here! (To be continued)
