Chapter 306 What we sell is not goods, but history

Director Xiong and a few people quickly assembled a set of armor and put it on a shelf.

"Brother Li Ye, this armor was just made by our Chang'an Crafts Institute. Mr. Huo insists that you take a look. How about you?"

"Let me take a look? Why?"

Li Ye looked at Mr. Huo Renqiang in surprise.

Aqiang breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Li Ye aside, and explained: "I am now the deputy minister of the investment department, but that Minister Hu is not in the way of dealing with me. This time I asked me to be responsible for the cooperation project of this armor, but I don't understand."

Li Ye smiled and said, "If you don't understand, I don't understand either? Why don't you ask your boss to send you someone who knows what you know?"

Aqiang said: "I sent two people to me in total. Last week, one of them was pulled over by Hu, and another one was driven away by me this week. Now I am the only one left."

""

Li Ye also admired Aqiang very much. There were two people under his command. He was defeated as a commander in just two weeks. No wonder he wanted to go his own way and step down as the deputy director of the investment department.

But this job is a complete middle-level member of Cyris. He has a monthly basic salary of HK$10,000 and a performance commission. The year-end bonus at the end of the year is not a decimal.

The key is that the room for improvement is much higher than that of his previous comics managers.

Li Ye had never met the newly appointed Minister Hu, but now it seems that the other party looked down on Aqiang, a "three-no cadre".

If you have no education, no experience, no wrists, you just press on the waist of the investment department, which is similar to the eunuchs in ancient times. It would be strange if you don’t trip you up if you don’t make any trouble.

But

Aqiang has no education, no experience, no skills, but he is loyal.

During the most difficult years when Pei Wencong was, he accompanied him through the wind and rain, so Pei Wencong wanted to "promote" Aqiang again.

But this promotion depends on connections and 70% on ability. If Aqiang really can't do it, Pei Wencong can't do it. If he is not a gang, he will not be able to do it. If he is a business, he will not be the first in gangs.

So just this armor list, if Aqiang did it well, it would be OK, but if he couldn't do it well, Minister Hu suggested to Pei Wencong to kick Aqiang back to Hong Kong Island, and Pei Wencong would find it difficult to object.

"Okay, I'll take a look, but I can give you some advice at most. The final decision will depend on you."

Li Ye refused but walked to the armor.

But when he reached out and touched it, he felt something was wrong.

"Why are it so thin and so light?"

Last time, Director Xiong gave Li Ye the armor he brought back to Zaojun Temple and kept it in stock. Occasionally, he would wear it to show off for Wen Leyu, so he knew that the two were not the same thing as soon as he touched it.

A Master Lu who followed Director Xiong also said: "This one weighs about 30 kilograms, and it's not too light. The prop set ordered is lighter than this one.

However, we used stainless steel materials, which actually cost more than 40 kilograms, making it easier and more comfortable to wear.”

"This is not for wearing. Didn't they tell you the product requirements?"

Li Ye looked at Director Xiong and others, and then said, "Since it is antique armor, try to get as close to the ancient appearance as possible. Where was stainless steel in the Tang Dynasty?"

The Master Lu was stunned for a moment and said, "If iron materials are used, the maintenance of the armor will be very troublesome. If it is not properly maintained, it will easily rust."

"Hey, it's a problem to maintain it. Think about the previous generals, do you have to take care of your armor personally?"

Li Ye said: "It is best for you to summarize a complete set of maintenance procedures and write it in detail into an armor maintenance manual.

It is necessary to let the buyer do it by himself, but it cannot be too easy. In short, it is necessary to let the buyer enjoy the fun of a warrior."

""

Director Xiong and Master Lu were both stunned for a while, and then Director Xiong couldn't help saying, "Are you looking for trouble?"

Li Ye waved his hand and said, "What about me, this is the suggestion. I think you use stainless steel for armor, which is an industrial product and a movie prop. A few hundred yuan may not be easy to sell, because it does not have the effect of protecting the house.

But if you use iron, everything is controlled by ancient armor and match it with cultural elements, then the price will cost several hundred dollars. Do you think which one do you choose?"

Before Director Xiong could speak, the Master Lu said, "You guy said this, you are not a fool, but is the buyer a fool?"

Li Ye smiled and did not answer him, but directly ordered Aqiang: "You call Hong Kong Island, find a luxury marketing company, and entrust them to do product marketing plans. You can make it as required and don't be smart."

Aqiang nodded slowly and said, "I understand a little. Just like LV Cartier, you won't cheat the poor!"

"What does it mean to be a poor person?"

Li Ye said unhappily: "A piece of armor that is exactly the same as ancient craftsmanship, or a work of a master of craftsmanship, shouldn't it be a luxury?"

"What you have to do is that people may not be able to buy money, do you understand?"

Aqiang did not dare to refute and nodded repeatedly. Anyway, he did what Li Ye said, and even if he messed up Pei Wencong, he would not dare to scold him.

Then Li Ye said to Director Xiong: "Actually, I told you that it's hard for you to understand, but the set of armor you gave me is a good example, and it's not an ordinary product at first glance."

Director Xiong said with a slap: "Brother, I'm going to tell you that your armor was made by several masters more than ten years ago, and now you can't even hold the hammer."

Li Ye nodded and said, "Anyway, you just do what you mean! I can't explain it to you, so I'll write a small script later. After you go back, you will find Director Xie and ask him to shoot an advertising short video for you."

"As soon as you tell Director Xie a word, he will understand everything."

Director Xiong hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Ye said seriously: "You just tell him that what we sell is not armor, but Tang culture and flower planting history.

If you look at this armor, you can feel the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the battlefield and create the urge to wear it and kill the enemy with your sword."

""

After a few people were silent for a moment, the Master Lu said, "I seem to understand a little. It's just that when people see, this armor is a very old and once worn by warriors of their ancestors, right?"

Li Ye thought for a while and said, "That's about that."

Director Xiong slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, brother, don't I understand if you said this earlier? Isn't it just an old antique? We have that skill in Chang'an, and we are so skillful!"

""

.........

After Director Xiong and Master Lu received the script that day, they immediately rushed back to Chang'an, but Aqiang stayed in the capital for a few days.

Li Ye didn't expose Aqiang's thoughts about his girlfriend, but just inquired about the recent situation of the Investment Department.

"Mr. Li, to be honest, the situation has not been optimistic recently. The rules in the Mainland and Hong Kong Island are very different. We Hong Kong Islanders are free, but the Mainland is a bit dogmatic."

Li Ye glanced at Aqiang and asked lightly: "Is Hong Kong free? Aqiang, are you free to live in Hong Kong? Are you free to eat? Or are you free to live? Or are you free to live? Or are you free to soak in horses?"

Aqiang was speechless. Are cultural people so swearing in this way? Isn’t it enough to just say that I’m just a loser?

Li Ye continued: "Aqiang, since you are investing in the mainland, you must learn to deal with mainlanders.

Any investment company in the world must learn to "follow the host" when entering another region to invest, which means you must understand who is the master."

Li Ye looked at Aqiang and said word by word: "Don't make money from the master, but also dislike the master's old-fashioned and backward. Do you understand?"

"Mr. Li, I understand. If it weren't for you, Mr. Li, I would not have been today, and I would have tried my best to adapt."

Aqiang looked at Li Ye with a serious look on his face. Although he didn't understand what he meant, he nodded without hesitation and agreed.
