I won’t scare you to death, but I’ll scare you into impotence—let your wife put a green hat on you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and Gu Bing stepped in first. Seeing Zhou Andong still convulsing, his expression changed instantly; he dashed forward two steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with you?” Gu Bing asked, then turned sharply to Qu Hongqi and demanded angrily, “What did you do to him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?” Zuo Peiming entered, took in the scene, and his face darkened, “What’s wrong with him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qiu leapt forward and stood before Zhou Andong, pressing her thumb hard into his philtrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck, Zhou Andong cursed inwardly—this bitch, why are you squeezing so hard? You nearly killed me for real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so many people had arrived now—he had to finish the act. Enduring the pain, he exhaled slowly, his tense body gradually relaxing, his breathing returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How are you feeling?” Jian Qiu’s expression was tense, her hand rubbing his chest continuously, “Better now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed—not even Zhou Andong himself—that Jian Qiu’s tone carried a quiet, unusual tenderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several heavy breaths, Zhou Andong leaned back in his chair, weakly saying, “I’m fine. I have epilepsy, but I haven’t had an episode in years. Just now, Section Chief Qu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, he shook his head, face full of grievance, “Never mind. I won’t say any more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Hongqi glanced at Zuo Peiming’s expressionless face and nearly cried, cursing Zhou Andong inwardly: Fuck you, you piece of shit, can’t you just finish your sentence? What the hell did I even do to you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must be Comrade Zhou Andong, right? Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Peiming asked Zhou Andong with concern, then cast a cold glance at Qu Hongqi—this look made Qu Hongqi’s legs go weak, nearly causing him to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Bing quickly introduced, “This is Deputy Director Zuo. He’d like to learn about the product positioning and future marketing of Yugong Wine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong finally understood: so this big boss wanted to see him—that’s why Qu Hongqi had let him go. When he didn’t leave, Qu Hongqi got so desperate he nearly bit someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Qiu coldly told the guard holding the keys, “What are you standing there for? Unlock his handcuffs right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Zhou Andong obediently let the guard unlock the handcuffs. Jian Qiu asked with concern, “Are you really alright? No need to go to the hospital?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need!” Zhou Andong tried to stand, but Jian Qiu immediately supported his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t get up!” Zuo Peiming pressed him back into the chair, “You’re unwell. Stay seated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, there’s a chair here—please sit.” Zhang Deyou fetched a chair from behind the door and placed it respectfully behind Zuo Peiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Peiming sat down and smiled, “Yesterday afternoon, I looked into the brewery’s reform efforts and specifically asked around about you, Zhou Andong. Amazing—they all said you’re a magical wizard who can turn stones into gold, making ordinary sorghum sell for gold prices.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong replied humbly, “Leader, you flatter me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!” Zuo Peiming said. “The results speak for themselves—no one can deny them. Now tell me: why can’t the eighty tons of wine in the warehouse be sold? Why would selling it harm product positioning and future marketing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone leaned in, including Gao Qingkui and Zhang Deyou—all eager to hear what secret Zhou Andong was hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong organized his thoughts and said, “Jiangzhou Yugong Wine is our new product. It lacks market competitiveness, consumers aren’t sophisticated, and it doesn’t have the deep heritage of Maotai. Its current popularity is, frankly, just an illusion created by past marketing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we don’t follow up with more marketing, this surge won’t last—it’ll end up like ordinary sorghum, with not a single bottle sold. So I devised a marketing plan for this situation, which I call ‘scarcity marketing.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scarcity marketing means adjusting supply and demand to influence final pricing. Simply put: limit supply, exploiting consumers’ eagerness to buy quickly and get new products.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the early promotion phase, we exploit short-term information asymmetry to artificially create a sense of supply shortage, generating false scarcity to raise prices and secure high profits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the ultimate goal of scarcity marketing isn’t just high pricing—it’s to create high added value for the brand, establishing its image as premium.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, scarcity marketing looks simple but is a double-edged sword. Use it well, and it boosts brand value. Use it poorly, and it damages the brand—even drives customers to competitors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Peiming lowered his head in thought. Gao Qingkui and Zhang Deyou pondered. Jian Qiu stared at Zhou Andong, her eyes gleaming—wondering whether she was analyzing his words or something else. Most others just stared blankly, utterly lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” Zuo Peiming said. “What was your major in university?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong scratched his head: “Agriculture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Peiming blinked, then burst into laughter, patting Zhou Andong’s shoulder warmly: “An agriculture major who understands business this well? You’re truly a genius. Impressive—very impressive. I think you’re wasted in this brewery. Here’s what I’ll do: get the brewery running first, deliver results, and then I’ll move you somewhere where you can truly shine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Peiming’s words stunned everyone—even Zhou Andong was speechless. He didn’t believe a high-ranking leader like Zuo would lie to him in front of so many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, that’s enough for today. Now that I know your plan, I feel more at ease. Otherwise, worrying about over a thousand workers’ livelihoods has been weighing on me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Andong watched Zuo Peiming walk out, face grim. Leader, I don’t want to work for you—I want to run my own business, become a boss, a billionaire, live in luxury. But in front of so many people, he couldn’t possibly offend this big man—he’d have to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh!” Just as Zhou Andong was feeling annoyed, he spotted Liu Zhiguang, hunched and hiding in the crowd—he chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Section Chief Liu, so you’re here too? I was just looking for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shout made Liu Zhiguang jump, startled everyone else, and even caused Zuo Peiming to stop and turn back.\u003C\u002Fp>",1115,"2026-06-20T01:18:49.036Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f39b1ec5e47bfafeffc38ccfdaa78dddb1f5d87e7c5d9e3e9ace76e2b45b2211","my-restarted-life-1992-chapter-58","my-restarted-life-1992-chapter-56",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-restarted-life-1992-cover.jpg"]
