Chapter 472 Old Master Lin Changed His Mind
3rd April, Sunday…
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Handong University branch…
Pei Qian and Lin Chang drank their coffees silently.
These two days were weekends. Pei Qian could have finally rested at ease without any psychological burden, put all his worries behind, and led a short and happy life.
However, Lin Chang came to Jingzhou today, which meant he had to meet him.
It’s just that… both of them fell into silence after greeting each other. They half-thought they succeeded thinking of how they were planning and strategizing a few months ago. However, in the end, both the game and the mobile phones were both popular. Lin Wan also swelled unprecedentedly and even began ranting in her family group chat, expressing her hatred. Both of them had problems on their mind. However, it did not seem appropriate for both of them to stay silent. The problem had to be resolved!
Lin Chang started reluctantly after a while. “Boss Pei, things are not going too well with the game and the cell phone. Didn’t we make sufficient plans?”
The corners of Pei Qian’s mouth twitched.
The planning part was mainly done by Pei Qian. He planned ambitiously, only to earn like a dog in the end. However, Pei Qian could not take it lying down. Lin Chang, do you dare say you don’t have any responsibility at all?
If you had not made your own decisions in the publicity of Tomorrow is Beautiful, the movie would not be so popular. The advertisements in it would not be studied, and the OTTO cell phones would not have such a good start…
In any case, you are definitely responsible as well! You can’t just throw all the responsibility at me!
Pei Qian sighed and said, “I gave you the responsibility of publicizing Tomorrow is Beautiful. You arranged for so many film schedules which established a high-end image for the OTTO cell phone in the minds of the consumers before its release. That has also disrupted the deployment of my strategy.” Lin Chang had a look of disbelief. “How was that possible?!
“Boss Pei, didn’t you write the script of this movie? You definitely know about the advertisement for OTTO cell phones. The quality of the movie is so high and had such a rich spiritual connotation. You know it better than anyone else that it would still be popular even if I did not do any publicity for it! “I will believe that the other movies succeeded because of publicity, but Tomorrow is Beautiful…? Publicity is nothing more than icing on the cake!”
Lin Chang actually threw the responsibility back to Boss Pei at the speed of light.
Pei Qian, “…”
He could not accept it but it did seem difficult to refute after thinking about it.
Tomorrow is Beautiful was now regarded as a work of excellent quality and profound connotation. Most people believed that the key factor of its success was its quality even though publicity had its merits.
As for the matter of excellent quality…
The biggest contributor might be Zhu Xiaoce, but Pei Qian seemed to be responsible as well.
Pei Qian started to doubt himself. Would all these not be destined to happen according to Lin Chang’s words?
They fell into a short period of silence again.
Lin Chang whispered suspiciously, “Boss Pei, could you actually have done it on purpose?
“You let Ah Wan handle the industries that seem like it might fall on the surface, but you actually know beforehand that both the game and the cell phone would be huge successes? Why else would you use the other industries to help them?
“As far as I know, you are personally responsible for the promotion of Be Quiet. All sorts of benefits from cell phone advertisements also benefited from other industries.
“Could it be that… you actually don’t want Ah Wan to leave?”
Pei Qian’s face turned black. “No such thing!
“Lin Wan is the director of two departments. She is very familiar with the other department heads. She had the authority to demand benefits from the other departments and to coordinate the overall situation.
“As for Be Quiet… it was an accident.
“Boss Lin, believe me, of all people; I want Lin Wan to go home more than anyone else.”
Pei Qian’s expression was extremely sincere.
Lin Chang looked at Pei Qian without a word but had suspicion in his gaze.
That was normal. Your suspicion would also grow if someone banged their chest and promised you something, and yet they failed many times because of some other ‘subjective reasons’ or ‘unexpected factors’…
However, Pei Qian was definitely wronged in this case. Then again, it would seem as though no defense would have any effect now that things had come to such a state…
He could only continue to formulate goals for the next stage. He must persuade Lin Wan to leave this time!
However, Lin Chang’s next sentence threw him off-guard while he thought of his next goal.
Lin Chang sighed gently. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’m not here to push responsibility today. I have another matter on hand. To be honest, the situation has changed.
“Lin Wan has been showing off in our family chat over the past few days especially about the Otto mobile phone successfully selling for 8,000 yuan. It was a price that even the flagship mobile phone that my elder sister is responsible for did not reach.
“There was a huge difference in the sales volume, but Ah Wan has only been making mobile phones for a few months, and my eldest sister has been doing it for several years after all…
“In short, the scene is very chaotic.”
Pei Qian thought for a while. “Then… Will the Old Master allow her to continue doing her thing?”
“As expected, Boss Pei always gets to the core of the issue. This is the key to the change in the situation,” Lin Chang said with a grin.
“Not only is the Old Master not angry, but he is also very happy. I’ll tell you the truth, Boss Pei.
“Old Master was very upset that Ah Wan came out to work out of anger previously. He knows the situation with the workplaces outside and felt that Ah Wan was wasting time. That was why he kept trying to get Ah Wan back to inherit the family business.
“Ah Wan was working on games previously without much progress. Mobile games might have made some money, but it was nothing much after all so Old Master’s attitude did not undergo any change.
“However, Ah Wan said that she made a cell phone priced at 8,000 yuan. The Old Master is suddenly very interested!
“He, therefore, got someone to understand a bit more about Otto cell phones and Tengda Corporation. Guess what happened?”
The corners of Pei Qian’s mouth twitched. He had a very bad premonition. “What?”
Lin Chang had a very complicated expression. “Old Master understood the process of how the cell phone became popular and how it managed to sell it to a price of 8,000 yuan. He has nothing but praise for you!
“You boldly used Chang You and priced it as a high-end product right from the beginning. You did subtle publicity in the movie and used Tengda’s other industries to push the cell phone’s popularity. You’ve also made a way out for yourself in this saturated market…”
“Any wrong step would have called the Otto cell phone to fail!
“Especially at the news conference. Old Master felt very surprised since no domestic producers had ever done that before. The Old Master mentioned that this news conference had saved hundreds of thousands in advertising fees!
“Old Master knew that most of the strategies must have been Chang You’s and your merit, but Ah Wan would definitely be able to grow even if she is only handling a small portion
