Chapter 588: Zhou Andong, the Troublemaker

Hong Kong, Lianxiang Zhi sat in the living room of the apartment, holding a Ming Pao newspaper and reading. Two people sat opposite him, drinking tea very quietly.

These two people were Lianxiang Zhi's assistants at this time, one named Yang Huaijun and the other named Zhu Qinglv.

After a while, Lianxiang Zhi put down the newspaper and sneered: "This Zhou Andong is really a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, challenging the two Cokes, and even boasting that he doesn't put the two Cokes in his eyes."

Yang Huaijun said indifferently: "It's nothing more than hype to increase brand awareness. Small tricks, can't become a big climate."

Zhu Qinglv shook his head: "I actually think Zhou Andong's marketing method is very clever."

Yang Huaijun scoffed: "I don't see where it's clever. Just take the 1.5 billion bottles for giveaway—will he really release 1.5 billion bottles? If he says it, will you believe it?"

"And donating one mao for every bottle sold—how many bottles did he sell? If he doesn't say, who would know? This is just using the kindness of consumers to establish an image for his brand. The people I look down on most are these kinds of people."

Lianxiang Zhi turned a deaf ear to the words of the two and kept pondering, muttering in his mouth: "National brand, national brand, national brand..."

Yang Huaijun and Zhu Qinglv looked at each other and looked at their boss.

After a while, Lianxiang Zhi raised his head excitedly: "Zhou Andong has reminded me. We can take the national brand route and promote it well."

"As long as our products are branded with the national brand, the common people will definitely support them. And computers will definitely be popularized. They can't afford them now, that's fine."

"As long as we let them remember Lenovo and be proud of Lenovo as a national brand. When the economy develops in the future and the common people have money in their hands, the first thing they think of will definitely be Lenovo."

Hearing Lianxiang Zhi's words, Yang Huaijun's face turned red. He never dreamed that the slap in the face would come so quickly. He had just been mocking Zhou Andong, and now his boss also wanted to do the same, and it seemed even more excessive.

Lianxiang Zhi looked at Yang Huaijun: "Huaijun, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"

Zhu Qinglv's mouth twitched, wanting to laugh but holding it back hard, looking very uncomfortable.

Yang Huaijun said awkwardly: "It's nothing, maybe it's a bit hot in the room and I've drunk too much tea."

Lianxiang Zhi nodded and didn't ask again: "Huaijun, this matter will be handed to you. Go back to the mainland tomorrow."

"Alright!" Yang Huaijun was very helpless, finally becoming the person he once hated.

………………

Beijing!

After finishing the meal, Zhou Andong sent Wah-zai and his manager back to the hotel to rest.

"It's fortunate that Mr. Zhou has extensive connections and even knows the military, otherwise it would have been a big trouble."

Manager Lan entered Wah-zai's room and sat on the sofa, looking terrified.

Wah-zai smiled: "At first, I was also a bit worried, but then I thought, with Mr. Zhou's business in the mainland being so big, how could he not be able to solve a few hooligans?"

Manager Lan said seriously: "I'm very optimistic about the mainland entertainment market, so taking this opportunity, I must build a good relationship with Mr. Zhou, even if the endorsement price is a bit lower, it doesn't matter."

"Developing in the mainland in the future, with Mr. Zhou supporting us, those small fry won't dare to have any ideas."

Wah-zai nodded: "Mr. Zhou said he likes my songs and even wrote a song for me."

"Is that so?" Manager Lan smiled: "No matter whether the song he wrote is good or bad, it must be recorded and put into your next album."

Wah-zai smiled and said: "I heard they also looked for Brother Long, but Brother Long didn't have the schedule."

Manager Lan said: "That's true, but they weren't choosing between two, but wanted you two to endorse a product at the same time. Brother Long didn't have the schedule, so they didn't look for a second endorser."

After saying that, Manager Lan stood up: "Alright, you rest first. Mr. Zhou will come over tonight with the director to talk about the advertisement."

"Alright!" Wah-zai sent Manager Lan out of the room, then took a shower, lay on the bed, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV, just in time for the rebroadcast of Zhou Andong's exclusive interview.

…………

Qin Chi Headquarters, Zhang Shenghui's office!

At this time, he was sitting in his chair, holding a newspaper and reading. As he read, he laughed, but this smile was a bit bitter and a bit helpless.

"Sigh!"

Finally, Zhang Shenghui sighed long and got up to the window: "Zhou Andong, oh Zhou Andong, you're a madman. 1.5 billion bottles for giveaway, and for every bottle sold, you have to donate one mao."

"However, it's fine for you to go crazy yourself, but why do you have to set fire to the white liquor market? For every bottle of Jiang Xiaobai sold, you also have to donate one mao. This is forcing me to go crazy with you."

"Ding-a-ling..."

The phone on the desk rang. Zhang Shenghui walked over and picked it up: "I am Zhang Shenghui!"

"Little Brother Zhang." Wu Hongkang's voice came through the receiver: "That bastard Zhou Andong turned the beverage market upside down. Who would have thought that in a turn, he would set fire to the white liquor market? Are we following up?"

Zhang Shenghui smiled bitterly: "He has already taken the lead. If we follow up, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Wu Hongkang said: "Do you have any thoughts?"

Zhang Shenghui said: "Let's wait and see. If it really doesn't work, we'll follow up. As for other methods, I have none at all."

"Bastard!" Wu Hongkang cursed again.

Zhang Shenghui said: "He played this hand too ruthlessly. Those big bosses above must have seen it. If we follow behind his ass, we can only eat dust. In the future, there will be benefits, but they won't fall on us."

Wu Hongkang said unwillingly: "Could it be that we can only run behind him?"

Zhang Shenghui said helplessly: "What do you think?"

Wu Hongkang gritted his teeth and said: "I'll call that bastard Zhou Andong and scold him to vent my anger."

Zhang Shenghui echoed: "You scold him first, then I'll scold him. If I don't scold him, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Jianlibao Headquarters, Li Laoban was also looking at the newspaper, and he was also gnashing his teeth at this troublemaker Zhou Andong.

"Damn it, if you want to do this 'Another Bottle', just do it secretly. Why did you have to hold a press conference and announce with great fanfare that you're giving away 1.5 billion bottles? You're not letting us live."

Li Laoban was so angry that he tore the newspaper to shreds, then crumpled it and threw it on the ground. Now he was also in a dilemma.

Following up—the cost is too high, especially now that Jianlibao looks good, but because of buying the American building, the funds are already tight.

If he doesn't follow up, he can imagine that his market share will definitely be eaten away by Iced Black Tea. ===== CHAPTER 589 =====

If he doesn't keep up, he can imagine that his own market share will definitely be cannibalized by iced black tea.
