Chapter 403: Chapter 403
"I won’t sell. My Second Brother won’t sell either. If Hailang is sold, then Hailang will truly leave no trace behind," Chuchu said firmly.
Yan Hui was a bit helpless, "Talking about emotions in business is useless. Selling now can still get some money back. If we wait, I’m afraid we’ll have to shut down soon."
Chuchu stubbornly lowered her head. She knew Yan Hui meant well, but she couldn’t even convince herself, let alone convince Xiao Bai.
Yan Hui continued, "Your customer loss is severe. Users are the most fickle; a small benefit is enough to lure them away."
Chuchu replied, "Not me."
Yan Hui chuckled, "How many people like you are there in the world?"
"You see people as too realistic," Chuchu pouted. She spotted Mao Xiaoyu in the yard with Mrs. Zhu shelling peanuts, and called out:
"Xiao Yu, come here."
"Okay," Xiao Yu put down the peanuts and ran over, "Sister-in-law, what’s up?"
Li Shan perked up his ears nearby, secretly edging closer bit by bit, without making a sound.
Chuchu thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Yu, let me ask you a question. If you’re using Company A’s phone service and one day Company B says they’ll give you one cent for every call if you switch to their service, would you?"
Mao Xiaoyu widened her eyes, surprised by Chuchu’s question. But she thought carefully, then said:
Chuchu laughed triumphantly and said to Yan Hui, "See, not everyone can be bought by small benefits."
As she said this, an idea flashed through her mind, but she couldn’t catch it after thinking it over.
Yan Hui gave Mao Xiaoyu a gentle smile, making her blush and lower her head.
"Can you tell me what you’re thinking? Why wouldn’t you switch?"
Li Shan suddenly jumped out, blocking Mao Xiaoyu from Yan Hui, saying, "What’s there to think about? I wouldn’t switch either. Who cares about a cent!"
Yan Hui laughed and shook his head, holding his forehead.
Mao Xiaoyu, feeling blocked, calmed down and said seriously:
"I just believe there’s no free lunch in the world. It’s like raising pigs in the countryside. When they’re small, we feed them daily, but the ultimate goal is to slaughter them for meat when they’re grown."
"Besides, I’m used to A Company’s phone service. A cent isn’t worth the hassle of switching to another company. It’s troublesome, and I’d have to learn and get familiar with new things. There’s always an emotional attachment to what you’re used to."
Chuchu felt her mind suddenly clear up, and she finally grasped the previous fleeting thought.
"There’s always an emotional attachment to what you’re used to."
"Talking about emotions in business is useless."
Those were the two sentences!
Who says emotions are useless? In a few years, emotions will be the most valuable commodity in the market and can be exchanged for a lot of money.
Who says Hailang has no advantage over Thunder? Their advantage is that they entered the market three years earlier than Thunder, and users have been using their product for three years.
In the wave of the internet, three years is definitely not a short time.
They can play the sentiment card.
After figuring it out, Chuchu praised Mao Xiaoyu, "Xiao Yu, you’re amazing!"
Mao Xiaoyu smiled shyly, "Sister-in-law, anything else? If not, I’ll go back to shelling peanuts."
Seeing Chuchu’s face suddenly brighten and her mood much better than before, Yan Hui asked, "What did you think of?"
Chuchu feigned mystery, "I’ll take a different path!"
"Keeping secrets from me?" Yan Hui laughed.
Chuchu shook her head and said, "It’s not about keeping secrets from you; it’s just I don’t know how effective it will be. You’ll see."
After feeding rice cereal to the two babies, Chuchu instructed Mao Xiaoyu to stay and watch over them, saying she’d pick them up in the evening, then drove off to find Xiao Bai in a hurry.
At the company, neither Xiao Bai nor Jiang Xiaoxiao was there; they had gone out to meet with distributors.
Chuchu didn’t call; she went straight into Xiao Bai’s office, found a pen and paper, and started writing and drawing.
When Xiao Bai returned, exhausted in the afternoon, he saw Chuchu sitting on his desk, excitedly writing something, laughing as she wrote.
"What good thing are you thinking about?" Xiao Bai couldn’t help but ask.
When Chuchu saw Xiao Bai return, she quickly looked up at him, "Stop, don’t move!"
Xiao Bai didn’t understand but obediently stood still as she scrutinized him.
From head to toe, front to back, Chuchu examined Xiao Bai.
At six feet tall, elite, flirtatious peach blossom eyes, flamboyant personality, rigorous work style, single Diamond King...
Any one of these labels is a selling point, simply made for a web celebrity.
Moreover, people now haven’t gone through all sorts of bottomless hype that will happen in a dozen years. With a little packaging, packaging Xiao Bai as a business star can certainly attract a group of loyal fans.
Chuchu was very satisfied, while Xiao Bai was utterly baffled.
"What’s wrong? Had enough of Jiang Kechu’s type?" Xiao Bai teased.
"Get lost." Chuchu turned back to the desk and handed over her half-day labor results to him, "Take a look at this."
Xiao Bai curiously took it, casually flipping through it, finding it’s two or three pages long.
"When did you come? Why didn’t you call?"
Chuchu: "Stop the idle talk, quickly look at what I’ve written. In the time you waste speaking, two more users could have churned."
So Xiao Bai became serious, took the three pages, and sat on the sofa to read carefully.
As he read, he frowned. He took a whole hour to go through the three pages.
"A sentiment card, you think it’s useful? And what’s this about being a web celebrity? Giving a lecture at a school is fine, but forget this web celebrity idea." After reading, Xiao Bai said.
Chuchu said, "It’s the most cost-effective way. We can only take a different path and avoid the main battleground. Our main user base is college students, so we must capture the campus through a different method."
Xiao Bai still felt Chuchu was being frivolous. He said, "We negotiated with a website today. Our ad will hang on their homepage for a month."
Chuchu asked, "How much?"
Chuchu: "Five million can get at least twenty campus lectures."
"Chuchu," Xiao Bai said helplessly, "Our fastest dwindling users are college students. Thunder offers them a small benefit, and they run faster than anyone."
Chuchu said, "But they’re also the most innocent and loyal group. If we play the sentiment card well, they will become our most robust users."
Xiao Bai spread his hands, showing disbelief.
Chuchu gritted her teeth, "Fine, you continue with your plan. Give me a week free this month and cooperate with me to give lectures at universities. I’ll handle all the rest."
