Chapter 335 Forever Childish

Chapter 335 Forever Childish
Xu Mingyuan was definitely one of the best users of water army in 06.

Information has a lag, and the current manufacturing industry does not invest much in the Internet. The bulk of Internet advertising revenue, as usual, comes from online games.

In addition, current mobile phones are all feature phones and have little connection with the Internet.

This gave Xu Mingyuan an opportunity to exploit, and he could even use a method of pulling down and slandering competing manufacturers.

But he doesn't need to do that, it is enough for him to just maintain the brand image.

Xu Mingyuan has a better marketing method, which is the bidding promotion that Baidu launched just before its listing last year.

Although this Internet giant will be criticized in the future, at present, it is the most used search engine by a large number of netizens, far exceeding Google Search.

The biggest advantage of bidding promotion is that it can accurately locate the target customers. As long as someone searches for terms such as "buy a mobile phone", the official website of Starry Sky Mobile Phone will be located at the top of the search page.

At this time, Baidu's advertising fees were very cheap, making it a perfect time to enter the market. By the time competing manufacturers discovered this and took action, it would take at least a year, and by then Xu Mingyuan would no longer need to attract customers in this way.

Currently, the sales method of mobile phones is still mainly based on ground promotion, which is not difficult. We can let the sales channels of Sailing Technology lead and gradually develop and grow.

Then there is the online channel. Unfortunately, online shopping was still not mainstream in 06. It was very troublesome at that time. The cumbersome online banking payment alone discouraged countless people. It was not until the online shopping boom 10 years later that the shopping model would change.

However, Xu Mingyuan also had a solution. He wanted to open up a cash on delivery channel.

The current express delivery industry does not have the support of online shopping and is still dominated by the postal service.

Contrary to the perception of most people that postal express is as slow as a snail, the postal service's EMS express delivery is no slower than SF Express and covers the entire country.

But the disadvantage is that the express delivery fee is expensive, and the cost of cash on delivery increases. There is also a certain risk, which will greatly increase various expenses.

This will result in the profit of cash on delivery being pitifully low, or even the risk of losing money.

However, a company does not necessarily need to make money from its products to grow bigger. As long as the cash flow forms a virtuous cycle, other businesses can make up for this part of the losses.

After all, in the capital market, the liquidity of money is the most important.

This is exactly the game of big fish eating small fish. Large companies can squeeze out the living space of small companies by sharing costs, and finally one company dominates the entire market.

After thinking about this, Xu Mingyuan made a decision on the spot and asked the company to contact the post office to negotiate the cash on delivery business, and to pilot it in first- and second-tier cities. If the results are good, it will continue to extend to lower-tier markets.

This is the advanced nature that far exceeds the times. Xu Mingyuan has countless ways to sell mobile phones. If one way doesn’t work, he will switch to the next one.

The meeting before the New Year was mainly about the Star Sky mobile phone. The distribution and marketing required the cooperation of all parties.

There is naturally no problem with the classmates network. Li Yunfeng is a person of average ability, but he is obedient.

Xu Mingyuan required that Tongxue.com develop low-cost web games to be self-sufficient, and did not allow advertisements on Star Sky mobile phones to be used, nor did it allow advertisement columns to be expanded to affect the user experience.

Any manager with a different personality would have complained long ago, but Li Yunfeng chose to do as he was told to appease his employees.

This year's year-end bonus from Classmates.com is not high, but the future is promising. Li Yunfeng has also learned how to make promises.

There's nothing big going on over at Sailboat Technology.

Although Xu Mingyuan's focus was completely on Starry Sky Technology, and nearly half of the senior executives were withdrawn, as long as Fengfan MP4 continued to make profits, there would be no trouble.

Xu Mingyuan even wanted to convene an extraordinary shareholders' meeting to allow investors to jointly nominate an executive, but no one agreed and wanted Xu Mingyuan to continue to be in charge of Sailing Technology.

Investors come here just to make money, not to seize control. Sailing Technology has been in turmoil for the past six months. If it messes up again, no one will make money.

Finally, Xu Mingyuan chose to keep Li Zhiyong, who did a good job in the administrative department, and put him in charge of the management of Sailing Technology.

The only thing left was the Starry Sky Battery Factory in Nanxi Development Zone, which had less than 200 employees. It was a small factory and there was nothing to do. Xu Mingyuan had considered things like environmental protection before building the factory, and it did not cause any problems.

The only trouble is a piece of land allocated by Nanxi Development Zone. Industrial land is not worth much, but it causes a lot of trouble.

The local government of Nanxi has always wanted to locate the second phase of Star Sky Science and Technology Park in the development zone, and has tried more than once to persuade Xu Jun and his son to return to their hometown to invest.

It’s not that Xu Mingyuan doesn’t want to give back to his hometown, the problem is that he currently doesn’t have the ability to do so.

Moreover, Star Technology Park needs Xu Jun to be the chairman, but as the end of the year approaches, his father has to take time out to deal with these trivial matters, leaving Xu Mingyuan with no time to do anything else and he has to spend a lot of time traveling back and forth between several companies.

The only benefit is that I found a reason for the mileage of Taotao's BMW. There is no need to explain that it was because he went back to Nanxi to accompany Xiao Yangzhi.

……

January is the coldest time of winter.

The snow has been heavy in recent days, and the accumulated snow has weighed down the branches of the grass and trees.

Tao Shuxin was a girl who liked to jump around. When she saw Xu Mingyuan returning to school after the exam, she pulled him and refused to let him go, insisting on taking him for a walk around the campus.

Xu Mingyuan was not a person who liked to wander around outside, especially in such a cold day when water turned into ice. Running outside in the cold was simply asking for trouble.

But the little girl always wanted to take a walk outside, breathe some fresh air and relax.

Xu Mingyuan thought that he had spent less time with her recently, so he simply let her hold his hand and walk out of the second teaching building.

Tao Shuxin liked walking on snow. When she heard the rustling sound when she was walking on the snow, she shook Xu Mingyuan's arm and asked him to step on the snow hard while walking.

When Xu Mingyuan asked her why she did this, the little girl's answer was as childish as ever.

"It's so boring to walk on the snow by myself, stupid."

Xu Mingyuan didn't bring gloves, so Tao Shuxin took his arm, put the gloves in their pockets, and played in the snow as they walked.

"Oh." Xu Mingyuan nodded.

"Ok?"

Tao Shuxin looked at him with rare surprise, with a hint of doubt in her big eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Why don't you laugh at me?" Tao Shuxin asked curiously. "Why should I laugh at you?" Xu Mingyuan asked in confusion.

"Tsk, you're not that kind of person. You should laugh at me for being childish."

Tao Shuxin pouted and exhaled a cloud of white mist.

"Has the water in your brain been frozen into ice? You just have to make yourself uncomfortable." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Look, look, that's it!"

Tao Shuxin swung her arm and slapped Xu Mingyuan's chest hard.
However, his arms seemed to be flying in the air, and he was about to fall down with a sound of "Ouch!"

Xu Mingyuan did not help Tao Shuxin. He watched her spinning in place. No matter how crookedly she slid, she showed no sign of falling.

The little girl's pretending was so unrealistic. Not only was there no panic in her eyes, but her face even looked a little happy.

"Hey! Why don't you hold me up!"

Seeing that she had been performing for a long time but Xu Mingyuan was still standing there motionless, Tao Shuxin patted him on the back angrily.

"You didn't fall, why should I help you up?"

"You should hold me up a little, or I'll look so stupid."

Tao Shuxin felt extremely resentful towards this bad guy who didn't understand romance.

"You are stupid."

"Humph."

Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy again?"

Xu Mingyuan held her head and turned it around.

"No." Tao Shuxin pouted and hummed, "You seem to be very busy recently. I was afraid that you might be unhappy, so I teased you."

"Isn't the holiday coming soon? I was thinking of finishing as many things as possible before the New Year, and then going back to Nanxi to rest for a while, so I don't have to come to Jiangcheng all day." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Really? Can we go back to Nanxi and have fun together?"

Tao Shuxin's eyes lit up, instantly dispelling the boredom that had accumulated over the past few days.

"sure."

"Hey, you're so kind."

"what."

Xu Mingyuan laughed along.
I feel somewhat guilty towards the innocent and lovely little girl.

If Xu Mingyuan had not intentionally prevented Tao Shuxin from being exposed to the real world, she might have grown into a big girl by now.

The only excuse that Xu Mingyuan could find to make himself feel at ease was that there was nothing wrong with a silly girl being cheerful all day long; at least she was happy.

It's just that the Chinese New Year comes early this year, and the holidays for universities and high schools are basically synchronized. Xu Mingyuan wants to go home and spend time with Xiao Yangzhi, which is a bit inhumane.

"what are you thinking?"

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan remained silent, Tao Shuxin stood in front of him on tiptoe, staring into his eyes.

"Of course I miss you, what else can I think of?"

Looking at her eyes as pure as snow, Xu Mingyuan gave her a kiss.

The little girl's lips were icy cold from the cold wind, with a faint smell of lipstick, sweet like jelly.

"You big liar, I'm standing right in front of you and you're lying." Tao Shuxin's face turned red from the cold, but she still smiled foolishly and said, "Oh my, lies sound good."

"What do you mean by lying? I'm telling the truth."

Xu Mingyuan slapped her butt unhappily.

"Yes, yes, that's the kind of thing you should say. I love to hear it."

The little girl, who was always in love, immediately narrowed her eyes into crescents.

Although Tao Shuxin is not good at reading people's faces, but by focusing her attention on Xu Mingyuan, she can tell that he has been worried recently.

The innocent little girl would find various ways to convey her happiness and joy to Xu Mingyuan.

"Taotao."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Seeing him suddenly calling her, Tao Shuxin asked with her big eyes flapping.

"You're a childish bastard."

"What's the matter?"

"No, it's fine."

"I want to be childish forever and ever!"

Tao Shuxin looked into Xu Mingyuan's eyes in a soft and sweet tone, wanting him to agree to her.

"Okay."
