After I got home, I was still in a bad mood. This feeling of not being recognized was very depressing.
If this was in the past, I definitely wouldn't have had any ideas. But now it's different. I've entered the original universe. Now, I'm much more familiar with it. The scenery here is beautiful, the environment is excellent, and there are all kinds of experts and advanced technology that I didn't expect.
Before I got down to business, I floated in the sky for a while to relax my body and mind. Then, he ordered a cup of coffee at a lakeside cafe, forgot all his troubles, and enjoyed life to his heart's content. Two hours later, I started thinking about the mall. I didn't know anything about marketing, but there were definitely many experts here.
I wanted to go to Zi Gong, but I haven't finished his suggestion, so I shouldn't disturb him. I combed through the ancient business geniuses I was familiar with. I felt that Hu Xueyan was the one I admired the most. Hu Xueyan could definitely be called a model of the business world. I just don't know if Hu Xueyan is easy to get along with here. Forget it, I'll give it a try first. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else. Thinking of this, I used my consciousness to check. Hu Xueyan really is here.
I teleported myself directly to Hu Xueyan's residence.
This was a Chinese-style manor with a bright Chinese gatehouse. Above it was a blue gold plaque with two big words: Hu Manor.
I gently knocked on the door knocker and a servant gently opened the door. The servant was dressed in the Qing Dynasty. His clothes were clean and tidy. He was about 20 years old and looked very comfortable. Before I could speak, the servant looked at me and said,"Young Master Li, what's the matter?"
I smiled and nodded. I directly told the servant that I wanted to see your master. I have something to ask of him. I wonder if it's convenient for your master.
The servant paused for a moment. After communicating with Hu Xueyan in his consciousness, he received Hu Xueyan's approval and told me directly that the minister is waiting in the living room. You can go in directly.
I cupped my hands in thanks. This servant led me through the veranda and after passing through five courtyards, we arrived at a luxurious study. The interior was antique. There were some famous calligraphy and paintings on the walls that I didn't know. The coffee table, guest chairs, and other furniture were all made of red sandalwood. I could even smell the smell of red sandalwood.
I had just entered when Hu Xueyan had already turned around the screen to welcome me. He was wearing loose clothes that were obviously in the style of the Qing Dynasty. He had a medium build, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, and a wide mouth. He gave off an extraordinary aura, and there was also a particularly obvious rich businessman aura.
I hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply. Hu Xueyan stepped forward to support me and smiled as he told me that there was no need to be so formal. Then, he held my hand and let me into the screen.
Inside was a mahogany office desk, with two parlor chairs made of red sandalwood and a coffee table on the side. The most surprising thing was that there was no ink, paper, or inkstone on his desk. Instead, there was a computer and a mobile phone. My surprise was written on my face.
Hu Xueyan said directly," Emissary Yuan must be surprised by computers and mobile phones. These have only been available in recent years. I like modern technology very much, so I have a set for myself." They could also learn about the real world through their phones and computers. In the future, you will meet other famous people here, and they will be the same. This is also called keeping up with the times.
I nodded in agreement. Hu Xueyan continued," I learned through my consciousness program that as a modern person, the first person you searched for in the business world was me. To be honest, I was very surprised and pleased. You must have something to ask of me, so I will try my best not to disappoint you."
After saying that, he let me sit on the chair.
He didn't talk much, but he made me feel very close. The nervousness and hesitation I felt when I saw my idol had lessened by more than half. I didn't directly explain my intentions, but started chatting with my idol. I said that you are one of my most respected businessmen and my idol. Many of your deeds can be used as a textbook for the business world.
Hu Xueyan smiled and said," Emissary Yuan, you flatter me. I'm just doing what a businessman should do."
However, many businessmen are not like you. People often say that there is no business without evil. What do you think a businessman should do?
The concept of merchants without evil was a misinterpretation of merchants by later generations. The original intention of the concept was that in ancient times, rice merchants had to scoop more rice in addition to filling the bucket to the brim to make the rice in the bucket stand out. Therefore, there was no "tip" that could not be used. Modern people changed the word 'sharp' to 'crafty.' This not only belittled businessmen, but also made some businessmen feel that they should be more crafty in order to do business well. This change filled the entire business community with distrust and uncertainty. It was a very bad misinterpretation. I believe that the most important thing a businessman should do is to think about the entire business from the other party's point of view. Making money should be based on a win-win situation. Even if one or two successful frauds can make money, it definitely won't last long and won't make a lot of money. Therefore, he must refrain from cheating.
" I know about this. Many of Hu Xueyan's shop's signboards are facing the outside world. Only the 'Deceitful' signboard is hung behind the business hall for our own people to see. I nodded deeply and continued. I agree with this very much, but you also said that there is distrust and uncertainty in the business world. Moreover, people say that the Shang Dynasty is like a battlefield, full of mutual deception. I want to be a decent businessman, but will I suffer losses if I do business honestly?
Just because you consider a win-win situation for the other party doesn't mean that you can suffer losses or that you need to tolerate losses. On the contrary, a businessman should be shrewd and not be cheated. Only a qualified businessman could have both.
I didn't seem to understand what he was saying. It seemed that I wasn't suited to be a businessman. Moreover, I didn't have any business experience. If I talked too much about business issues, I would definitely show my weakness.
Thinking of this, I changed the topic. I asked Hu Xueyan, I heard that you once sponsored Wang Youling in your early years. Why are you so sure that he will be your Bole?
Hu Xueyan laughed again and said," My sponsorship of Wang Youling is purely fabricated by later generations." However, it is true that Lord Wang and I are close friends. We acknowledge each other. However, the rumors of me funding Yang Naiwu and Little Cabbage in your later generations are true. Moreover, I used my power to help the two of them smooth out various relationships in the capital many times. Now that I think about it, it's very interesting.
I was surprised and asked," Yang Naiwu and Little Cabbage's case was actually redressed by you?
Hu Xueyan nodded and said," There are records of this in the future. I saw that the two of them were wronged and it was indeed pitiful, so I did my best."
Looks like I have to go back and check. I really don't know about this.
I continued to say that every time I saw you fail in your later years, I would sigh for you. Do you think your discontentment in your later years is inevitably related to the Qing government's serious seclusion and corruption?
Hu Xueyan stood up with a serious expression. This question obviously reminded Hu Xueyan of many unhappy memories. I regretted asking this question.
Hu Xueyan slowly walked to the window, then turned around and said," This period of history is indeed something that I don't want to talk about. My failure this time ruined my life. There are many reasons. There are my reasons, and there are also the reasons of the era." I agree with you when you say that the Qing government is corrupt and incompetent, but I don't completely agree with you when you say how serious the Qing government's isolation is. The Qing government's foreign policy was not much different from that of the Yuan and Ming, and they had more foreign trade. I borrowed part of the money from the Standard Chartered Bank for the western expedition. Moreover, if they had really closed the country, there would not have been the Opium Trade, and there would not have been the Opium War.
I was surprised. You mean, the reason why China closed its doors to the outside world wasn't because of the Qing Dynasty?
This was one of the reasons, but it was not the main reason.
What do you think is the main reason?
Hu Xueyan thought for a moment and said that the relatively advanced Confucian culture and the relatively perfect feudal system had given the entire nation a hotbed of inaction. This kind of relatively stable social relationship could not allow capital and productivity to be liberated. The cultured people were addicted to poetry and eight-legged essays, and no one thought about science and technology and productivity. On the other hand, Western science and technology were becoming more and more advanced under the catalyst of the capitalist system. The two were declining, and this was the main reason for their backwardness. Locking up the country only served to add fuel to the fire. I also learned about the current evaluation of the Qing Dynasty through the Internet. I agree with many of them, but the description of the country being closed off is a bit exaggerated. This caused the modern Chinese to be somewhat paranoid and timid about closing the country. Even if foreign countries blocked us, it made people feel that their country was in danger of subjugation. In fact, normal communication, learning, and exchanges with foreign countries were necessary, but what could really make one's country strong was the country's internal strength. Learning from others and buying from others could not make the country strong fundamentally.
This was a little different from what Mozi had said about why China was lagging behind, but I didn't want to compare myself here, so I could only nod subconsciously. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, I told him my purpose for coming here today. I said that I did have something to discuss with you today. I was a marketing staff in the real world. The mall was in a bad situation now and needed some outstanding marketing plans to boost the mall's performance. In my heart, you are one of the seniors who are best at doing business. I vaguely feel that you must have many great ideas, so I took the liberty to disturb you.
Hu Xueyan laughed and said," No problem. I'm still very willing to apply some of my recent ideas to the modern business world to test my ability to keep up with the times." However, I need to understand the actual situation of your mall. According to the actual situation of your mall, I will send you the specific marketing ideas through your so-called Brother Nine. I hope you will be familiar with it next time you come here. Good luck!
I politely bid farewell to Hu Xueyan and immediately returned to the real world. It was really hard to imagine how they controlled the switch. This switch was very comfortable and almost effortless. They could come back whenever they wanted.
Hu Xueyan's efficiency surprised me even more. After only one night, I received an email from Hu Xueyan. It was obviously Hu Xueyan's business strategy. I couldn't wait to open the email. It started with a long speech. It was obvious that Hu Xueyan was still obsessed with business in that environment, and he had combined many modern business concepts. The latter part was the real marketing plan. The plan had clearly exceeded my expectations. The degree to which the plan kept pace with the times surprised me. In summary, there were the following measures:
1. Transform the shopping mall into a supermarket and an online store. All kinds of marketing measures must be based on the most comfortable advantages of supermarkets and online stores, and they must be done better. It gave customers the right to choose comfortably. 2. Increase customer flow as an important criterion to reduce profits and give a few options to choose from, with the intention of reviving the mall; 3. Each store will add a tablet computer at a prominent position at the entrance, so that customers can compare the prices and parameters of online products and their own products through the Internet at any time. All goods were marked with a purchase price and sold at a fixed price. The pricing standard was adjusted according to the actual effect. 4. Increase the service training work of advanced service enterprises and make secret visits at any time; 5. The shop assistants are not allowed to recommend their own products. They can only introduce the products without bias, but they must inform the defects and deficiencies of the products. 6. Treat customers who only try and not buy as warmly as customers who buy goods. 7. Return the goods unconditionally within 7 days. If there were any quality issues, they could be returned at any time. 8. Add free entertainment, love venues, online celebrity restaurants, free drinks, and children's entertainment venues; 9. Increase publicity through Short videos, Weibo, and WeChat, and strive to promote innovation. These are the main things. I don't know how effective these measures are. I wrote my own marketing plan based on these. After writing it, I was still a little excited. I didn't know if the leader approved it.
The next day at work, I handed the written plan to Director Ma. After Director Ma took the plan listlessly, he let me go back to work. An hour later, Director Ma called me and said that this plan was very creative. Director Zhang fully accepted my plan.
I don't understand if this is a desperate attempt. No matter what, let's see the effect first.
On that day, the mall made preparations step by step. Training was carried out, renovation was carried out, and integration was carried out. This is not an easy task. Although we have a general direction, we need to test and correct the specific methods, where loopholes are easy to appear, and where they are not practical. Fortunately, everyone was very curious and wanted to see what the effect was, so they worked very hard. After a week of hard work, the various preparations for the mall finally had some progress.
It was the weekend again. We were exhausted from the week. After dinner, I was tidying up my previous work and making the final preparations for the mall to officially implement the above-mentioned marketing methods. Brother Nine suddenly told me to go to the meta-universe. I arranged the work at hand and went to the control room again.
