Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 661 - 4: Infatuated Male Supporting Role_3
"And why hire some crappy spokesperson? Are the millions of followers under my Weibo fake? If we need to push products, I can go on myself!"
"Don’t think the group is making money; most of the money earned is for charity subsidies. Being able to bring mechanical prosthetics to every township in the country is their true skill!"
Listen to this, isn’t it full of positive energy!
The secretary was speechless with excitement, thinking he could finally live up to Old Zhou’s high salary. Look! Isn’t President Xiao Zhou making progress?
However, the next moment...
The progressing President Xiao Zhou fell back to his old ways, face-planting onto the rosewood table Old Zhou personally selected:
"I want a raise!"
"Only giving me five million a year, is this my real dad? Is this the market rate for a domineering CEO?!"
"I don’t even have the right to replace the table in my office!"
"Tell that dumb marketing team to put in some effort."
"Stop thinking about hiring spokespersons all day. If the money for endorsers could be used to give ME a raise, wouldn’t I gladly hand out bonuses?"
The secretary’s face froze; he didn’t want to speak anymore.
But he still had to explain for the poor folks in the marketing department:
"Currently, there are many copycat projects in the market, with marketing offensives going all out. Although they don’t reach our current level, if we keep being so low-key, by the time our production meets demand, our reputation might already be ruined."
"Proposing to hire a spokesperson is about securing our brand’s market share in advance."
"Celebrities come with their own fanbase and promo teams; using them is relatively efficient."
Zhou Bai: ...
Oops. He didn’t think of that.
But it’s okay, he’s the CEO!
This marketing bunch is right; even if he can’t get himself a raise, spending a bit more of Old Zhou’s money is a comfort.
"Alright then, how much is their budget for hiring an endorser? Do they have back-up celebrities?"
Secretary: "The relevant plan has already been sent to your email. It was sent yesterday, you replied ’read,’ but didn’t you actually read it?"
Zhou Bai: ...
...
No matter what, the CEO’s demeanor cannot be lost.
He impatiently frowned: "Am I the CEO or are you the CEO? Read me the results!"
Don’t blame him for disliking the secretary. Old Zhou gives him five million in salary; there’s no such poor overbearing CEO in this world!
But for the secretary, not only is an 8-person team allocated, even the annual salary is 4.6 million!
The 400,000 less than his own represents his last bit of pitiful dignity!
If he had known this, during the earthquake, he should have sincerely contributed to Old Zhou!
╭(╯^╰)╮!
The secretary is also very understanding.
High salary, you see, is for keeping an eye on President Xiao Zhou and getting the proper work done.
At this moment, not a bit angry, even finding this President Xiao Zhou who only talks tough a bit cute, just like his own son...
Cough cough cough!
Anyway.
The secretary put on a straight face and pulled up some images and spreadsheets on the tablet:
"First backup, last year’s triple-gold award-winning actress..."
"Second backup, a popular young idol..."
"Third backup, the most popular member of the current talent show girl group..."
"Fourth backup..."
"Budget is between 3 million and 3.2 million."
Although this is already quite a low market rate, given that nowadays endorsements are something celebrities themselves need to actively strive for.
This is how the rates got this low.
But at this moment, Zhou Bai almost wanted to jump up:
"Just for this thing, are they consuming nearly ten years of my salary?! Old Zhou’s money will be mine in the future, wasting a little makes me happy, but this much is draining my resources!"
He got angry: "Listen to me, get rid of all these!"
"Aren’t we trying to build a reputation, establish a brand, and occupy the market? Our mechanical prosthetics are a charitable project, send it to publicity, there are always more opportunities."
"Arrange to select ten users with stories from among ours, preferably those a bit impoverished, each with a 200,000 endorsement fee, release one case a day, cover all provincial TV stations, local stations, CCTV can’t be missed."
"Be realistic, don’t use those heavy filters and pale faces, shoot as is, the emotional appeal cannot be cliché..."
"By the end of this year, I want the poorest villages to have rescue applications!"
"For brand building, my millions of followers can easily multiply the publicity tenfold with retweets, production can keep up, the country can see, and the aid can be implemented." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Isn’t this more interesting than hiring those celebrities?"
Most importantly, think about the savings!
Being a philanthropist with a business is cooler than just being a capitalist, right?
