Chapter 686 - The Requirement of Fang Qiu’s Business Attraction! (2/2)

The reason why they did not show the specific details and documents for people to see was because the CG animation video was not completed yet. In order to incorporate the advertisements, they had to determine the slots for the advertisements before they could make the final video. Therefore, even the Zhiyuan Group which held the fair was not aware of the specific effect of the advertisement, not to mention the companies who came to attend this fair. The only person who had seen the CG animation video was Yao Jie.

“Don’t you think that the demo video is also the selling point?”

On the stage, the host asked with a smile and then said, “Now, any demo will attract everyone’s intense attention. If we show it now, it will be unfair to the companies which have won the advertising slots after competing!”

Under the stage, many people who were here to compete sincerely for the advertising slots immediately nodded.

Maybe the value of the whole advertisement would not be reduced if they showed it now. But it was still a great opportunity in terms of advertisement investment. If they showed it after the fair was over, then all the major companies who had won the advertising slots would get the attention and benefit in advance.

One of them stood up directly and asked, “In that case, although one-second and two-second advertisements are different, it seems that the effect of the ad will not be largely improved in just one second. One second will be just a flash. Who will remember that?”

The host laughed and said, “Haha. Sir, that’s what you think. But some people might look at it in a different way.”

In the monitoring room, after hearing the host’s words, Yao Jie turned to Fang Qiu who was sitting next to him and explained, “Indeed. One second is double in time, but from the perspective of the publicity effect, it does not double the publicity effect. These people are very shrewd. The price of a two-second advertisement will definitely not double the price of the one-second ad.”

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded, indicating that he understood.

In the conference hall, the host continued.

“If the products of the companies that wins these ten advertising slots have a therapeutic effect through internal or external use, Mr. Fang will personally verify the quality of the products. If Mr. Fang disapproves of the product, he will immediately disqualify this company and let the representative of the company which offered the second-highest price take its place. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.”

The conference hall immediately broke out in an uproar.

“Why should I?”

“Yes. Does it really mean there’s something wrong with the product if Fang Qiu says so?”

“There’s nothing wrong with our products. This rule is simply too degrading.”

“This is a business fair, not a verification system. Do you still want to attract business or not?”

In the blink of an eye, many representatives of the companies who were doing this kind of work, felt very discontented.

Among these people, some knew that their products might not meet the grade. They did not want to be exposed but they were eager to get an advertising slot, so they were dissatisfied.

Some of them were sure that there were no problems with their companies’ products, but they were dissatisfied with this kind of doubt.

They were from large groups or enterprises. How could they let Fang Qiu question the quality of their products?

On the stage, the host seemed to have anticipated everyone’s reaction, so he smiled wryly and quickly said, “Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen.”

After the noise died down a little, the host then explained patiently to everyone, “I know that you are very dissatisfied with these rules and feel irritated. But these are the rules set by Mr. Fang himself. And we’re selling Mr. Fang’s advertising slots in this business fair. Mr. Fang has the right to implement his conditions in this business fair, so I hope everyone can follow the rules.”

People attending the fair were even more displeased after they heard that.

“What does that mean?”

“I’ve been a businessman for decades, but I’ve never seen such a business fair!”

“That’s right. You’re treating people randomly just because you’re popular!”

“Tell Fang Qiu that we are all here to support him when he sells his advertising slots. We’re here sincerely. As the old saying goes, don’t hit a smiling man. But in this business fair, there is no detailed business plan or product plan for us to view. What’s more, there are so many strange rules. Is Fang Qiu trying to slap us in the face?”

“This is not the way to hold a business fair.”

“Don’t turn the business fair into a quality inspection conference.”

People started to oppose the conditions, one after another.

In this regard, the host could only shout and say with a smile, “Gentlemen, if you don’t have faith in the quality of your products and think that they do not meet the standards, then you don’t have to bid!”

As soon as he said that, everyone stopped protesting.

All of them were smiling on the surface. No one was willing to admit that there could be something wrong with their products.

There would be a serious problem if they admitted it.

“Is this host from your company? He’s quite acute!” In the monitoring room, Fang Qiu’s eyes lit up when he looked at the host on the stage.

To his surprise, the host was so eloquent.

Yao Jie shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “He’s not our employee. Our company can’t afford to hire such a person. It cost us 500,000 to hire him.”

Fang Qiu gave him a thumbs-up and said, “Awesome. Every penny is well spent!”

It was true that an ordinary company could definitely not afford to hire him if he could reach this level as a host. After all, 500,000 was also a huge sum of money for a big company. For him, it was not a good deal for him to work in a big company, as it was worthwhile for him even if he did only a few jobs a year at the price he commanded.

In fact, the reason why Fang Qiu made such bidding rules was that he had to take the customers’ interests into account and also for himself. Since it was his advertising slots, he had to be strict about the quality control.

If there was a company whose products were not qualified, he would definitely not choose the product sent by them for him to verify. Instead, he would just buy one from the market for verification. Only then would it be fair.
