Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Zhao Zhuo laughed:

"It seems that the results this time are quite good. I am gratified. I will strive to achieve greater glory."

However, before Zhao Zhuo could be happy for too long, Zhang Yun poured cold water on him:

"But don't forget, in order to sell clothes, we spent half a million on advertising on TV stations.

If this money is included, we can say that we have made no profit or lost so far.

Oh no, a new batch of fabrics is already on the way. Adding the cost of those fabrics and transportation fees, we should say we are still losing money."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo waved his hand with an indifferent attitude:

"Hey, that money is nothing. And the advertising expenses this time are for a whole year!

This is a long-term investment, so don’t make things so pessimistic."

Speaking of advertising, Zhao Zhuo suddenly thought of something:

"That's right! And we made money again from the advertising we bought this time!"

Zhang Yun didn’t understand:

"Profit again? What do you mean?"

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly and explained:

“After our great success in advertising this time, many businesses saw the huge benefits of advertising, so they approached TV stations and wanted to advertise.

All of a sudden, the advertising costs of Fengtian TV Station can be said to have skyrocketed!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but become curious:

"Oh, how much has it increased to?"

Zhao Zhuo said calmly:

"Let me put it this way, our advertising time slot and duration must be worth at least one million or more!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but be surprised.

I thought it would rise, but I didn’t expect it to rise so much!

Zhang Yun smiled...

"According to what you said, we made half a million invisibly."

Zhao Zhuo also laughed:

"You can also say that."

Zhang Yun saw Zhao Zhuo smiling and deliberately stopped smiling:

"However, this is intangible after all. Our current accounts show that we are still losing money."

Seeing Zhang Yun doing this again, Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly:

"Hey, then we can't become fat in one bite, we have to eat it bit by bit.

You can't let me run to the street and drag people to a clothing store when I see them, right?

While pulling it in, I shouted, "Brother, sister, come in and take a look..."

Wouldn’t that be a little too ugly?”

Zhao Zhuo's words, coupled with his exaggerated expression, made Zhang Yun laugh:

"Hahahaha what are you talking about? Who asked you to solicit customers in the store?"

The two joked for a while, and then Zhao Zhuo said seriously:

"Anyway, now our denim clothing business is on the right track, we are just waiting to count the money.

The two major projects brought back from Yangcheng are already half successful.

Now, it depends on the situation on the other side of the watch."

Hearing this, Zhang Yun's expression was a little solemn:

"Now it seems that the progress on the watch side is not optimistic."

These days, Zhao Zhuo is mainly busy with the clothing business and has little time to care about Tianzhi watches. Now when he heard Zhang Yun's words, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but frown slightly:

"Oh, what's going on?"

Zhang Yun said in detail:

"Tang Chi and his team have a lot of problems with their research and development work, and the progress is very slow, so new products are still far away."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo's face suddenly turned cold:

"The development of new products is far away, so what about the previous styles?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment:

"Ah, what previous style?"

Zhao Zhuo said helplessly:

"I asked them to increase production of the previous classic model."

Only then did Zhang Yun react, and then shook her head:

"Tang Chi and the others seem to have focused their main energy on developing new watches, and they don't pay much attention to production."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't wait any longer and went directly to the factory where watches were produced.

After coming in, Zhao Zhuo saw Tang Chi busy at the workbench and walked over.

Tang Chi felt someone, looked up and saw that it was Zhao Zhuo, and smiled subconsciously.

But seeing Zhao Zhuo's serious expression, Tang Chi couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhao Zhuo waved to Tang Chi without saying anything, and then walked straight out of the factory.

Upon seeing this, Tang Chi quickly followed out.

After the two people came outside, Zhao Zhuo asked calmly:

"How do you feel after coming to Fengtian?"

Tang Chi smiled:

"Although I'm a little uncomfortable with the food, it's overall pretty good, and the company's arrangements are very considerate."

Because of the arrival of people like Tang Chi, Zhao Zhuo specially asked the company to arrange all kinds of care for them such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. All arrangements were made with great care.

Hearing Tang Chi's words, Zhao Zhuo nodded lightly, and then asked:

"How's the situation at work?"

Hearing this question, Tang Chi couldn't laugh anymore:

"This... the new watch has not made much progress for the time being."

Zhao Zhuo had already guessed that Tang Chi would say this, so it was no surprise to get this answer.

Zhao Zhuo nodded slowly, and then asked:

"So, do you think I spent so much money just to let you study new styles here?"

Upon hearing this question, Tang Chi was stunned.

He suddenly realized that his positioning seemed wrong.

After Tang Chi came to Fengtian, he subconsciously put research first and paid little attention to production.

Zhao Zhuo woke up the dreamer with his words, and then he realized that he seemed to be trying to...make money?

Thinking of this, Tang Chi couldn't help but lower his head in shame:

"Mr. Zhao, this is indeed my problem. I didn't put myself in the right position."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo shook his head lightly:

"No, it's not that you haven't corrected your position, it's that you haven't thought about it at all."

Hearing this, Tang Chi looked at Zhao Zhuo with confusion:

"I don't understand? What do you mean?"

Zhao Zhuo did not rush to answer, but asked first:

"Do you think that what I said just now means I won't let you do research?"

Tang Chi didn't answer in a hurry, but his eyes showed that he thought so.

Zhao Zhuo shook his head lightly:

"Let me ask you a question first, what kind of watch do you think is a truly good watch?"

Tang Chi thought for a while and said:

"Then this requires too many elements, including material, movement, pointer style...and many other aspects that need to be considered."

Zhao Zhuo shook his head lightly:

"What you said is wrong."

Tang Chi became anxious when he heard this.

He thought that his research on watches had reached a very advanced level. Although Zhao Zhuo also understood watches, this statement obviously made him a little unconvinced.

Tang Chi asked back:

"Then tell me, what is a truly good watch?"

Zhao Zhuo said lightly:

"A watch that can be sold is a truly good watch."
