Just got home, sorry for being a few hours late! First update! Support me! ...
Song Chen spoke clearly, and Chen Jian listened with excitement, slapping his knee as he stood up and said with a broad smile, "It's very practical! I almost understand your idea!"
Chen Daohui pondered and said, "I understand the strong and profound advertisements, but how do you write soft articles that are subtle yet powerful? I only know that Shi Yuzhu is an expert in soft articles, and his methods are hard to guard against! The success of Brain Gold was largely due to his expertise in soft articles!"
"Soft article experts, besides having a deep literary foundation, must also understand the essence of 'willing to sacrifice oneself to bring down the emperor.' For example, if the company has developed a new health supplement, you can boldly claim that it contains a rich element that can make your child smarter and score full marks in exams! Then, you can hire some people abroad to vouch for its effectiveness! This is the power of soft articles. They may not be as straightforward as advertisements, but if you are a master, you can definitely leave a deep impression on the readers!"
"This idea has broadened my horizons, and I finally understand why you mentioned Mr. Shi just now. He is indeed a master in this field!" Chen Jian sighed deeply.
Nodding, Song Chen hesitated for a moment and reminded, "Although Mr. Shi Yuzhu failed, such a genius cannot remain down for long! He might make a comeback this year! If Uncle Chen wants to achieve great things, it would be best to make some achievements before him and take advantage of the time difference!" In fact, this year is also the year when Brain White Gold launched its offensive. Facing such a genius, no one in the health supplement industry can afford to be complacent.
In the previous life, when Shi Yuzhu told the media, "Before retirement, I will only do online games," many people breathed a sigh of relief. This shows that his marketing talent has a powerful deterrent effect on certain industries.
"Today, I came here in a hurry, but I didn't expect such a great gain!" Chen Jian exhaled and sighed, "Originally, I planned that if I couldn't hold on for a few more months, I would switch to real estate. After listening to your words, I feel enlightened! Ha ha!"
Standing up, Chen Jian extended his hand to Song Chen and smiled, "I was serious about the conditions I mentioned earlier! I know you are short of funds, but I can still provide you with a five million yuan interest-free loan!"
Song Chen also stood up as the other party did, and he shook his head with a bitter smile, "Uncle Chen, although you were serious, I appreciate your kindness! But our company is not currently in financial difficulty! And since you need to invest a large amount of money in advertisements, it would be better to keep this money!"
Chen Jian was about to shake his head in refusal, but Song Chen pondered and said, "If Uncle Chen really finds my suggestions useful... why not do me a favor as well?"
Chen Jian was delighted and said with a smile, "Tell me! I will definitely help you!"
"Do you remember Xu Zheng, who developed 'Good Kidney Health Supplement'?"
"Xu Zheng?" Chen Jian raised his eyebrows, not without surprise, "Is he the Xu Zheng who committed suicide with his wife and daughter after going bankrupt?"
Nodding, Song Chen pondered and slowly said, "Yes, I heard that after the Xu family's downfall, the youngest daughter was rescued but was almost disabled due to the severe injuries! Xu Zheng's eldest daughter is my schoolmate and is currently working part-time at my company! Xu Zheng's younger brother Xu Yue and his family are being pursued by creditors and are living in extreme hardship! I was thinking..."
Chen Jian said in a deep voice, "You want me to take over Xu Pharmaceutical, which is already in debt and a mess?"
Song Chen smiled and nodded.
Chen Jian thought for a moment and hesitated, "What is your relationship with their family?"
Song Chen hesitated for a while, feeling that it would be insincere to dodge the question, so he said awkwardly, "Xu Zheng's eldest daughter and I... have some entanglements! To be honest, Uncle Chen, I am currently paying for her sister's medical expenses!"
Chen Jian was startled by Song Chen's words. He knew that Song Chen had a girlfriend, and now... he suddenly burst into laughter, patted Song Chen's shoulder, and said, "Truly worthy of being Song Hua's son, like father, like son!"
"Indeed, worthy of being the good brother I value! A man of passion!" Chen Daohui gave Song Chen a thumbs up.
Song Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, following my suggestion, if Uncle Chen is bold enough, you can take over Xu Pharmaceutical's debt. I believe that once the debtors hear that you have taken over, considering the current difficulties in the health supplement industry, they won't immediately demand repayment! You can get Xu Pharmaceutical's factory and skilled workers without spending a penny, and then lobby the government and banks. I believe they would be willing for you to take over this mess and forgive a lot of the debt or taxes! Once the health supplement plan is successfully implemented, you, the government, and the debtors will all benefit!"
Chen Jian patted Song Chen's shoulder heavily and nodded forcefully, "What you said is exactly what I was considering! Alright, let's not delay. I will contact Xu Yue and take over Xu Pharmaceutical! As for the conditions I promised you, even if you don't need the funds now, there will always be difficult times. I will remember this favor for you! When you need it, come to me or Daohui!"
Although Song Chen really wanted the five million loan, he resisted the temptation and nodded humbly, "Then I will trouble Uncle Chen in the future!"
"Ha ha! What a smart kid!" Chen Jian nodded in great satisfaction, patted Song Chen's shoulder again, and joked, "If Daohui had a sister, I would have been tempted to snatch Zhang Hua's son-in-law!"
Before Chen Daohui could laugh, looking at the speechless Song Chen, Chen Jian said, "Alright, that's settled! I will go back and meet with the company managers, hold a meeting, and contact Xu Yue! If there are any unclear points, I can come to you, right?"
"Of course! Uncle Chen, I will always be ready to welcome you!" Song Chen thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "I have one more request. I hope Uncle Chen keeps today's matter confidential! I don't want..."
Although he didn't finish, Chen Jian understood Song Chen's meaning. He patted Song Chen's shoulder and said with a smile, "I understand. Uncle owes you a huge favor!"
"Then we will leave!" Chen Daohui smiled, patted Song Chen's arm, and gave him a thumbs up, "You have a bright future. Let's discuss dating tips when we have time!"
Chen Jian pretended to cough and glanced at his son, then left the office with a cold snort.
Song Chen sighed in relief, muttering to himself, "Thank goodness I have some knowledge of the health supplement industry because of Mr. Shi, otherwise, I would have been embarrassed!"
He went to his desk and pressed the intercom to instruct Zeng Qian, "Zeng Qian, if Xu Xiaoying comes to work this afternoon, please notify me!"
"I understand, Manager!" Zeng Qian's sweet and alluring voice came from the phone.
At the same time, as soon as Chen Daohui sat in his father's Volkswagen, he couldn't help but ask with a smile, "How was it, Dad! Isn't Song Chen amazing?"
Chen Jian smiled and said, "Although you are not very smart, the friends you make are all good. Yang De is one, Song Chen is one, and the girls like Zhao Lin! If you could marry Zhao Lin or Jiang Yan, it would be even better!"
Chen Daohui snorted and didn't bother to argue with his father, just asked, "What do you plan to do? Really take over Xu Pharmaceutical? I heard the debt is twenty million yuan!"
"Not that much, Xu Zheng's investments in other industries are still profitable! It should be around thirteen million. Although the debt is heavy, with this plan, there is a chance for a comeback!" Chen Jian smiled, started the engine, and turned to his son, "What Song Chen said just now are all good reasons. More importantly, I am almost fifty, and after hearing Song Chen, I suddenly feel ten years younger! I plan to play a big game like you guys!"
Chen Daohui's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time.
