Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Bustling and bustling, 2007 has come to an end.

Various OEMs are working hard to boost sales.

Of course, different companies may face different situations.

Companies with unsatisfactory sales, such as Modu Volkswagen, will desperately send cars to dealers in the last few days, and first make up the sales data before talking.

Otherwise, when summarizing various activities, the scene will be a bit ugly.

For example, if the sales of individual car companies are relatively ideal, they will control them appropriately, lest this year's sales data be too good-looking, the base is too high, and next year's pressure will be great.

At the same time, the supplier conferences and dealer conferences of various car companies are also in full swing.

Overall, 2007 was a very good year for China's auto industry.

However, Cao Yang, who had been busy for a year, felt a little more relaxed in the last few days.

The summary reports of various departments are basically arranged in early January.

He does not attend the supplier conferences of various customers now.

So it's rare that he can have a day or two of leisure.

"Mi Ying, is there a new bar opened on Yanjiang Road?"

Some time ago, when Zhang Songwen came to report on the investment project of Nanshan Film and Television, he also mentioned that an event was held in the newly opened bar on Yanjiang Road.

He also asked Cao Yang if he wanted to go with him.

But Cao Yang was too busy at that time, so naturally he was not in the mood.

Now that I thought about it, I asked Mi Ying.

"You're talking about BABYFACE, right?"

"It opened last month, and business is booming."

"The location is also very good, you can directly enjoy the night view on the Pearl River."

Although Mi Ying usually doesn't like to go to nightclubs, but as the secretary of the boss, there is good food and fun everywhere.

She definitely needs to find out.

A few girls in the general manager's office also mentioned this bar during this time, so she also knows something about it.

"It should be."

"Do you have any plans after get off work?"

When Cao Yang asked this question, Mi Ying's eyes lit up immediately, and she said without any hesitation: "I basically go home after get off work every day to watch dramas, cook and so on. I have time."

By staying with the general manager every day, even an unintelligent person will become intelligent.

What's more, Mi Ying is a very smart person.

With a simple question and answer, she gave Cao Yang several layers of meaning.

I live alone.

My nightlife is not rich.

I can cook by myself.

Although Cao Yang knew a little bit about some things, Mi Ying felt that he still needed to pass them on.

"Then let's go check out this bar together then?"

"I heard that the night view along Yanjiang Road is not bad. I haven't had time to enjoy it in recent years."

The Nanshan Group has grown to its current scale, and it can be considered to be on the right track.

So many R\u0026D personnel and management personnel can basically allow the group to continue to develop normally.

Cao Yang only needs to grasp the general direction to ensure that he has not made a wrong choice.

After all, most of the time, choice is more important than hard work.

So in the time to come, his own time can be appropriately increased.

Of course, when it comes to researching key parts and components technology, he will definitely have to take part in it himself.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy to lead the opponent.

"no problem."

"I know there's a private restaurant next door that does very good cooking. I'll go make arrangements right away."

"After eating, let's go sit at the bar. The time should be almost right."

In ordinary bars, whether they are clear bars or nightclubs, business is not very good before 8 o'clock.

If you go at this time, the atmosphere will naturally be a bit different.

So Mi Ying immediately "unauthorizedly" arranged for a private restaurant to eat first.

Speaking of which, the number of times Mi Ying and Cao Yang have eaten alone in recent years is really handful.

Even if they go on a business trip together, Cao Yang is often accompanied by more than one secretary, and there will definitely be people from the business department following him.

And eating alone like today is even more rare.

Mi Ying felt that she had to seize the opportunity.

Otherwise, if she goes away in a flash, she will be an old girl.

…

"Is there anything special happening in the company today?"

After confirming tonight's itinerary, Mi Ying's mood improved significantly.

This change can naturally be felt by people who often come into contact with her.

Zeng Tingting felt this when she went to confirm with Mi Ying some of Cao Yang's reporting arrangements for next week.

However, she did not ask Mi Ying directly, but asked Xu Perui, who was relatively familiar with Mi Ying.

Although the two of them were competing as secretaries to the general manager, there was a competitive relationship.

But Xu Peirui went to the sales department later, worked under Zeng Tingting, and is now the chief of the first sales department.

Since there is no direct competition between her and Mi Ying, it will be easier for her to become best friends.

After all, as the two outstanding female employees, they don't have many friends in the company.

Especially Mi Ying, everyone respects her, but they all seem to stay away from her.

However, Mi Ying often needs to inquire about the situation in some companies, and needs to maintain a relatively familiar relationship with some people.

The sales department, the department with the most flexible information, is naturally one of the key points.

Against this background, the relationship between Mi Ying and Xu Peirui has gradually become quite good.

"I didn't hear anything special happened today."

"Minister, did you hear something?"

Xu Perui was a little confused as to why Zeng Tingting asked herself this.

"It's nothing. I just saw Secretary Mi's happy face and thought it was another happy event in the company."

When Zeng Tingting said this, Xu Perui immediately started gossiping.

She knew that Mi Ying had always been famous for her iceberg beauty within the company.

Except in front of Cao Yang, no one could see her cheerful look.

More often than not, his face is expressionless.

Even if he, his best friend, goes to see her during working hours, he always looks the same.

Now Zeng Tingting describes Mi Ying with a spring breeze on her face, so Xu Perui can't help but feel strange.

"I'll look for Mi Ying 818 later to see if there's anything special."

Xu Perui naturally knew why Zeng Tingting suddenly discussed this topic with him.

She didn't mind doing this kind of inquiring.

"Secretary Mi joined the company with you. She has been so busy with work in the past few years. I don't think I heard that she is dating someone?"

When Zeng Tingting asked, Xu Perui was a little confused.

This kind of personal and private matter is not suitable to be disclosed.

However, facing his immediate boss, Xu Perui only hesitated for a few seconds before choosing to compromise.

"As far as I know, she doesn't have a boyfriend."

"But her family has been trying to push her to go on a blind date."

"It's just that she focuses on her work. Even after get off work, she learns various knowledge by herself or participates in some training at her own expense."

"There should be some people chasing her, but I haven't heard of anyone she has a crush on."

Now that I’ve said it all, let’s just say a little more.

Xu Perui put down his burden and started chatting with Zeng Tingting.

So best friends are sometimes the most unreliable.

There are even some highly educated women who like to steal the boyfriends of their best friends.

The circles of these people are relatively small and they are usually busy at work.

The boyfriends of best friends have usually gone through a series of background checks, and they are relatively well understood.

If someone has already tried it for you, you will be much less likely to fall into the trap again.

So instead of meeting other men on a blind date, wouldn't it be more appropriate to directly steal your best friend's boyfriend?

Of course, Mi Ying definitely doesn't know what's happening here.

After get off work, she happily sat on Cao Yang's W16.

As the boss of Xingchen Motors, Cao Yang's cars must all be his own products.

From the very beginning Ziweixing to Looking Up and Xingkong, the first car off the production line of each model is regarded as Cao Yang's car.

"Mr. Cao, the tiger spots in this store are purchased directly from the dock. They are very fresh."

"And their snail soup is also very good. You should try it first."

Although it was just two people dining, Mi Ying had arranged a lot of dishes.

Sometimes, what should be wasted should be wasted.

How else would two people order?

"The taste of this private restaurant is indeed good. The soup looks very clear, but the taste is very authentic."

Although there were two people eating, Cao Yang felt more of the meticulous service.

When I had dinner with Fang Sisi in the past, he might have been the one making arrangements for her most of the time.

The situation now is the other way around, it seems...

It's also very fragrant.

Mi Ying was wearing a light tea-scented perfume, which she could faintly smell when sitting next to Cao Yang.

This meal was quite enjoyable.

After finally seizing such an opportunity, Mi Ying naturally would not mention anything about the work to Cao Yang.

On the contrary, while eating, he introduced the ingredients and methods of related dishes.

It can be regarded as showing off his cooking skills in a different way.

She knew very well that what Cao Yang needed was not a woman with strong working ability.

Things like piano, chess, poetry and paintings are not necessarily things that I care about.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier to go directly to the music academy or dance academy?

While observing Cao Yang's reaction, Mi Ying smiled and actively raised various topics.

It took more than two hours to finish a meal.

Because they will ask for a bar later, the two drank a bottle of red wine for this meal.

Adhering to the principle of not driving after drinking, Cao Yang directly left the car there, and walked towards the bar with Mi Ying.

Both Cao Yang and Mi Ying were dressed casually. One was handsome and the other was youthful and beautiful, which attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Even Cao Yang could not help laughing when he saw a couple's ears twisted by his girlfriend because the man was too fascinated by Mi Ying.

"Mr. Cao, have you thought of anything happy?"

Mi Ying's attention was always on Cao Yang, so she naturally noticed this change.

"Look at that couple, the one where the woman twisted the man's ear."

Under Cao Yang's signal, Mi Ying immediately saw a couple not far ahead.

But she was a little confused, what's so funny about this?

Of course, she would definitely not say these words, but she showed a rather puzzled expression, looked at Cao Yang and said, "It seems normal for young lovers to be noisy?"

"That's right, it's normal for normal couples to fight."

"But why do you think they were fighting?"

When Cao Yang asked, Mi Ying didn't know how to answer.

His usually rather cold expression turned into one full of doubts.

"The guy just looked at you so fascinated that his girlfriend discovered him."

"This guy is so bold without wearing sunglasses. No wonder his ears were screwed."

When Cao Yang said this, Mi Ying's face suddenly turned red.

what does he mean?

Are you complimenting me on my beauty?

After so many years, I have never encountered a similar scene.

Mi Ying is still very confident about her appearance.

Although I can’t say that I have a perfect figure, I can definitely beat 99% of female compatriots instantly.

The key is that her skin is extremely fair, her thighs are super long, and her face is delicate.

Walking on the street, you can really turn heads.

"Is it the one in front?"

Cao Yang noticed that Mi Ying's face was a little blushing and she didn't speak, so he changed the topic.

"Yes, it's the one in front."

Mi Ying looked up and answered in the affirmative.

It's not yet the busiest time for the bar, but the business of this store is obviously better than some others nearby.

So after Cao Yang and Mi Ying entered, there were already many people inside.

The two found a table by the window and sat down.

"The drinks in this store are said to be genuine. Mr. Cao, why don't we do as the Romans do and drink some foreign drinks?"

Mi Ying regained her composure and regained her energy.

The current situation is better than she imagined.

Tomorrow is the weekend again, so you can totally relax.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Cao Yang did not go to bars less in his previous life, and he really rarely came to these places in recent years.

Career is the most important thing, these words are not just a few words.

A few years ago, he really put all his energy on Nanshan Group.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have the current scale of Nanshan Group.

On the stage, a singer with a good face and a good figure was singing "Damn Tenderness".

This song is particularly popular this year, and there are resident singers singing this song almost every day in various bars.

However, it is estimated that the copyright owner has not received a penny.

This can be regarded as a characteristic of the era.

Otherwise, it would not be so cheap for Nanshan Film and Television to acquire the copyrights of various film and television dramas.

"Mr. Cao, I ordered a bottle of Martell and some soda water. You can drink them alone or mix them together."

Mi Ying quickly ordered drinks.

Although the drinks in this store are genuine, Cao Yang thinks it might be a question mark.

Every bar advertises that its drinks are true, but only the bar knows how true it is.

But Cao Yang didn't particularly mind.

As long as it's not the kind of fake wine that can put people down, everything else doesn't matter.

Anyway, although he is rich, he really can't tell the difference between tens of thousands of dollars a bottle of foreign wine and hundreds of dollars a bottle.

Unless you put the two together to compare and drink.

"Mr. Cao, it is said that behind this bar there is a cooperation with Nanshan Film and Television, and a movie next year will be filmed here."

"It is estimated that the business here will get better by then."

"Their boss is also quite knowledgeable about marketing."

Drinking in a bar is nothing more than chatting and listening to music.

The resident singer hired by this bar is quite good.

At least Cao Yang, a layman, sounded pretty good at singing.

"Bars have something to do with the entertainment industry."

"Many singers have had the experience of staying in bars, and many actors also like to party in bars."

Cao Yang was chatting with Mi Ying and listening to songs, thinking about how to use Nanshan Film and Television to further enhance the brand power of Xingchen Motors.

Although through the broadcast of "Struggle" and "Snail House", Ziweixing and Yangwang are both popular.

But whether a car model can remain popular depends not solely on such a TV series.

As a new brand with no historical heritage, it definitely needs endless marketing plans to maintain its popularity and increase its influence.

The future is an era of Internet explosion, especially after the advent of the smartphone era, various marketing plans will also undergo great changes.

Xingchen Automobile can take advantage of the opportunity and get a seat in advance.

"In the past few years, I feel that the influence of various celebrities has increased, and many consumers have also accepted it."

"I wonder if we can also consider asking celebrities to endorse us in the future."

Although Mi Ying didn't want to discuss the official work content, it seemed a bit difficult when the two of them were together and the topic didn't involve work at all.

Of course, Mi Ying must have weighed the pros and cons in her mind regarding the specific topic to be discussed.

Those topics that are less formal and more casual are definitely better.

"Indeed, the era of national entertainment should be coming soon."

"Then the income of celebrities will also see a surge."

"Maybe one day Nanshan Film and Television will become a listed company."

Cao Yang naturally has a deeper understanding of this than Mi Ying.

A few years ago, the cost for a big star to film a TV series was only tens of thousands of yuan per episode.

But in a few years, it will not be uncommon for a TV series episode to earn millions, and a drama to earn tens of millions.

Many celebrities have annual net income of over 100 million, surpassing most listed companies every minute.

"The last time I heard Mr. Zhang said that Nanshan Film and Television will significantly increase the shooting of various film and television dramas starting next year."

"Especially if you set up your own video website alone, you will need a lot of movies and TV series to attract viewers."

"In the past few years, many venture capital investors have been very interested in some of our group's industries."

"I think businesses like video websites, which are relatively expensive, can we consider attracting some outside funds?"

Mi Ying knew that Cao Yang did not intend to introduce outside funds into the industrial field and had no plans to go public.

But some assets that are biased toward the Internet have different attitudes.

"This is a good idea. When the time comes, the video website will be independent and become the holding company of Nanshan Film and Television."

"Zhang Songwen has signed contracts with many actors and singers in the past few years, and will invest in more and more films and TV series in the future."

"Compared with other video websites, this is also an advantage."

"When the various copyright acquisitions are almost completed next year, we will promote copyright protection behind the scenes."

"At that time, let our colleagues in the legal department also get busy and directly work on several other platforms."

Obviously, Cao Yang arranged for Zhang Songwen to acquire the copyright, and it was not as simple as a simple copyright investment.

There are many tricks behind this.

Although video websites cost a lot of money, as long as they survive in the end, life will be easy.

However, when all kinds of capital came in to burn money later, Cao Yang definitely didn't want to burn his own money.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to introduce some capital appropriately.

“With the influence of our group, it shouldn’t be a big problem to push relevant agencies to pay attention to copyright protection.”

"Originally, with the development of the economy and the changes in the situation of joining the WTO, the requirements in this area are constantly increasing."

"Our actions can be regarded as following the trend."

Mi Ying didn't expect that there was such a consideration behind the seemingly random layout.

I was also quite impressed in my heart.

Amid the bursts of singing, the two drank and chatted.

Instead, he drank up a bottle of foreign wine.

Although both of them are not bad drinkers, adding a bottle of red wine to a bottle of foreign wine will basically make them drunker.

Mixing alcohol with alcohol makes it easier to get drunk.

So before twelve o'clock, Cao Yang proposed to leave.

Mi Ying naturally had no objection.

I don’t know if I’m really drunk, or if I’m not drunk, everyone is drunk.

Or through the strength of alcohol.

Mi Ying held Cao Yang's arm and leaned half of her body towards him, walking a little unsteadily.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Cao Yang to throw her into the taxi and leave on his own.

However, he did not call the bodyguard waiting nearby. Instead, he hailed a taxi and took Mi Ying home directly.

Mi Ying lives in Dongshankou, which is not far away at all.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the community where she lived.

"Mr. Cao, why don't you go up and have a cup of tea to sober up?"

Mi Ying exhaled like orchid and extended an invitation to Cao Yang.

Her arm was always holding Cao Yang's hand, with no intention of letting go.

Cao Yang is not a fool, so he naturally understands what it means to invite him to drink tea at this time.

But looking at the rosy face, he unexpectedly did not refuse.

The two entered the community silently, and took the elevator to Mi Ying's house.

Although only one person lives, the house is not too small.

With a three-bedroom apartment of more than 120 square meters, it is definitely very spacious for one person to live in.

However, after entering the room, before Cao Yang took a serious look at the layout inside, Mi Ying put her hands on his neck.

The two stared at each other like this for more than ten seconds.

it is more than words.
