Chapter 714: Rolling for Political Achievements!

Inside the Ting'er-Mei Lingerie Company,

a roar suddenly erupted from the General Manager's office!

"What is going on? Why is sales so poor today! We just poured so much advertising money into prime time, and not only did sales not go up, they actually slid!"

"General Manager Han, I just found out clearly, this matter has to do with Qin Ge!"

"Does Qin Ge have any major promotional moves recently?"

"Qin Ge recently donated to the Dayu Women's High School, and it was even reported by several key media outlets in Huai Province and Shaan Province. Gu Wenqin is almost being touted as a 'goddess'."

"Damn it! Didn't you say before that as long as we invested this advertising money, we would definitely be able to suppress Qin Ge?"

"General Manager Han, there is definitely an expert guiding Qin Ge behind the scenes! This wave of publicity is too fierce; it's not something that can be achieved just by having money. The lowest-end promotion is hard advertising, slightly higher-end is borrowing events and riding hot topics, but this wave from Qin Ge is too brilliant—they directly created a persona specifically for the Founder, Gu Wenqin."

"Created a persona?"

"It means by shaping the image of Gu Wenqin as an 'outstanding female entrepreneur,' the product and the founder are tied together, so the brand gains vitality. To put it more directly, Gu Wenqin is now the living signboard for Qin Ge; her popularity is almost catching up to traffic stars."

"Don't give me this nonsense! I only want results—you must take down Qin Ge for me! Otherwise, you, the Brand Director, can stop working too!"

"I, I, I..." The Brand Director was scolded to the point of being unable to speak on the spot.

"Can't even take down an enterprise that started in a township; the high salary I pay you is all a waste!"

The Brand Director was left speechless by the retort.

He had originally thought that this wave of advertising investment could suppress Qin Ge's momentum, but he hadn't expected that Qin Ge would take off just by relying on a four-million donation.

The key is that Qin Ge also borrowed too much light from policy in this wave:

They chose a special school in a National-level Poverty-stricken County and even caught the opportunity of the cadre exchange between Shaan Province and Huai Province.

Damn it, now even having money is useless; one can only watch helplessly and stare in frustration!

Tang Ye received a call from Lin Ziyang.

"County Magistrate Tang, I have good news to tell you! Our sales today have skyrocketed; the volume sold this month is already catching up to the last half of last year!"

Tang Ye was taken aback.

He knew that public opinion would definitely help Qin Ge's sales, but he hadn't expected the effect to be so direct and so fierce.

"Sales have risen, so you must keep a tighter watch on the after-sales side."

"Don't you worry! Boss Gu has already given a death order; there absolutely cannot be any problems with product quality. Now what we are worried about is that the factory's output simply cannot keep up with sales!" Lin Ziyang said this with a tone that inevitably revealed a bit of pride.

"Qin Ge had planned to invest in building a factory in Dayu County before; now it seems this move was truly farsighted!" Tang Ye sighed to himself.

"E-commerce has developed particularly fast in the last two years. Whether it's online payment or express logistics, they have all been widely accepted by everyone, so the next few years will definitely enter an explosive period. Qin Ge just happened to step on the wind's edge; now that they are firmly sitting in the number one position in the lingerie industry, the follow-up will definitely be fine!"

Seeing Lin Ziyang so full of confidence, Tang Ye was also quite gratified.

He still remembered when Lin Ziyang was taking candid photos of mall samples with a camera and ended up being treated like a peeping tom;

today's Lin Ziyang has transformed into a mature operations officer.

After hanging up Lin Ziyang's call, Tang Ye received several more calls, among which was one from Xia Hong, the Minister of the Municipal Organization Department of Hanzhou.

"You really know how to bring people surprises! It's only been a week, and your name is actually on the briefing again?"

"Actually, it was just a coincidence; I just happened to run into it," Tang Ye said modestly.

"Opportunities are not given casually; they are only left for those who are prepared," Xia Hong said with a smile. "You've been on the briefing for two consecutive weeks; I'm afraid this situation will be rare in the future. When Division Chief Jin called me, I could tell he was genuinely happy for you. In addition, Minister Cheng also praised you in front of him."

Tang Ye understood how high the gold content of Xia Hong's words was.

Being named and praised by the Minister of the Provincial Organization Department meant that for the next two years, even if he did nothing, he would definitely be able to retire successfully and smoothly.

Of course, with Tang Ye's temperament, it was absolutely impossible to stop his pace of "rolling" for political achievements here!

"Thank you for the encouragement, Minister Xia! I was able to achieve these small results mainly by relying on the support of the leadership. Please rest assured, I will definitely hold myself to strict standards in Dayu County, and I will always keep in mind—I am a cadre who came out of Hanzhou, I must display the style of Hanzhou cadres, and I absolutely cannot lose face for the cadres of Hanzhou!"

Tang Ye deliberately emphasized "Hanzhou" several times in these words, and Xia Hong naturally felt extremely comfortable hearing them.

Only in this way could Minister Xia have a sense of participation.

After all, he was the cadre that Xia Hong strongly recommended for the exchange; if he achieved results, Xia Hong would also have credit in the matter of recommending talent!

Of course, there were also places where the situation was the exact opposite.

Zhang Lin, who was also participating in the cadre exchange in Yanzhou, received a call from He Haiyang.

"Zhang Lin, I told you last time that I think highly of you, but I also hope you can achieve results as soon as possible."

"Minister He, I already have a plan. I am currently docking with an enterprise, and the other party is very satisfied with our investment promotion policy. They are expected to come for research next month, and there should be results within half a year." Zhang Lin was still quite happy that He Haiyang had taken the initiative to contact him.

He Haiyang was the Deputy Minister of the Provincial Organization Department and also the person in charge of the Cadre Exchange Program. Zhang Lin knew clearly that as long as he followed his instructions, he would definitely have the opportunity to reach a higher level in the future.

"It will take half a year to have results?" He Haiyang frowned, his tone revealing obvious displeasure.

Zhang Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, project initiation and promotion both take time. Please rest assured, I will definitely implement this project within my term."

The reason He Haiyang cared so much about Zhang Lin was actually because he wanted to cultivate a typical figure who could be brought out to show off.

In terms of age and background, Zhang Lin was on par with Tang Ye.

More importantly, he was arranged in a relatively wealthy county in Yanzhou with a good economic situation; his starting point was much higher than Tang Ye's!

"Comrade Zhang Lin, I understand your ability, but you must view the work of cadre exchange with a more positive attitude; your current pace is really too slow." There was a hint of disappointment in He Haiyang's tone.

Zhang Lin was suddenly a little panicked—he had clearly been working very hard!

"You should look more at the work intensity and promotion pace of the people around you, and don't always limit yourself to your own small circle. I hope you continue to work hard!"

As soon as the words fell, He Haiyang hung up the phone.

Shaan Province had released another briefing regarding Dayu County.

Tang Ye had achieved results again!

In fact, He Haiyang had hoped that someone would stand up and compete with Tang Ye, and he would use his own resources to assist in secret.

This way, he could suppress Tang Ye.

But the result left him full of disappointment.

Apart from Tang Ye, the others seemed overly methodical after arriving at their posts!

As for that kid Tang Ye, his style of doing things is actually quite similar to Jiang Jing's!

He likes to conduct incognito visits, likes to follow the mass line, and loves to mold himself into a good cadre who "pleads on behalf of the people."

When it comes to "putting on a show" and "striving for political achievements," he really has a knack for it!
