Chapter 2136: Chapter 1825: Suppressing the Hype

Qiaoqiao selling two cotton harvesters is far from simple.

The sales department immediately began customer maintenance, and then solemnly conducted a review on the intranet.

Review what?

Reviewed their rigid customer group profile, completely unprepared for this type of walk-in customer!

As a result, when the influencer went live to sell products, the sales department foolishly followed the higher-ups’ requirements to issue a 50 yuan coupon.

When customers asked questions, they didn’t respond promptly...

The employees below looked dismayed: "We can’t be entirely blamed for this..."

Our sales department doesn’t normally deal with walk-in sales.

The main focus is on distributors and partners across regions. How can these walk-in sales be counted against us?

Their leader immediately stared at them sternly: "This isn’t our fault, that isn’t our fault, then what are we here for?"

"The company has built the brand, the R&D center has stabilized the functions, and the after-sales engineering department handles all ongoing management. So, do we just sit here, open our mouths, and collect a lifetime salary? Want me to give each of you two rolls of yarn to knit sweaters?"

She had once fought hard for this job, and now, not only conducted a review but also rapidly arranged:

"Today, with the online sale of two cotton harvesters, how should we develop? What should we be cautious about? Write a report and submit it."

She looked at the time again: "Make it brief, submit it to me in half an hour."

Meanwhile, she pondered how to report to the boss:

They had indeed been too lax before.

Agricultural machinery was generally overlooked, with local dealers sometimes sticking with the industry for decades.

Stores, for instance, might not be known even by people living locally for decades.

Given the current lifestyle of most people, information is mostly relied upon online. In such cases, attending the annual expo alone isn’t enough, and maintaining walk-in customers in the era of online payments is a must.

It’s not about selling to walk-in customers—this kind of large machinery is more conveniently maintained by local dealers.

But, if that’s the case, what’s the sales department’s role?

They could be gradually sidelined by the group’s core because the sales channels are just that stable!

Thus, online sales must have a clearer direction.

But agricultural machinery sales are not like other groups, if we really want to start selling, we need to consider local partner contracts, etc.

Is it about securing a sales channel to prevent being constrained by various sales parties, or selecting machines locally while the group supports local dealers?

Thinking about these made watching the live stream unbearable, leaving everyone with only legal dilemmas

...

Meanwhile, Mr. Yang’s secretary pondered: 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Chairman Yang, regarding these 50 yuan coupons, do we need to push it?"

This coupon sounds like the group is stingy, but with a full payment of 7 million and a 50-yuan coupon gimmick, it’s worth a trending hot search.

By then, the popularity will be gained, and it would positively promote the group itself, benefiting the influencer’s fame as well.

After all, with the current swell in flow, an influencer with millions of fans isn’t that rare, and further advancement has more prospects.

Mr. Yang pondered briefly: "No need, if there’s any buzz, contact and tone it down a bit."

The secretary was slightly confused.

However, Mr. Yang laughed while dialing Song Tan’s number:

"Children are children, also my son’s friends. Let the two boys happily pick cotton, why mix them in adult matters? There’s not a famous person online who doesn’t get criticized."

Getting scolded doesn’t matter to Xiaoyang; he wants to work in this field and cannot avoid developing resilience.

But Qiaoqiao, who has such a genuine heart, why get stuck in the business and public opinion field?

...

Meanwhile, in Yunqiao Village.

Everyone was bustling around in an air-conditioned room on the mountain while the forage harvest at Riverside Beach ranch didn’t stop.

The driving seat of the small farm machinery is extremely small and semi-open, unable to install air conditioning.

Fortunately, operating it doesn’t require much effort, so even in stifling weather, Chen Xi knew it was going to rain and continued working up a sweat.

Song Tan got the call when he just arrived at the pasture:

"Brother Chen, stop harvesting, it’s enough."

They weren’t starting feed reserves from today; summer plants grow rapidly, there is monthly harvest and storage.

Along with today’s crazy harvested by those large machine operations, the silage is more than abundant.

Chen Xi was already managing the ranch’s operations, clearly aware of the sufficient inventory.

Yet, he didn’t stop, shouting amidst the machines’ roar:

"There’s a bit left, I’ll grab it all, else it’s hard to harvest when it rains."

Looking back in old age, his beloved pigs, cows, and sheep didn’t like eating it.

The chickens and ducks would find nibbling on some tender leaves refreshing.

Goodness! Song Tan peeked at the unharvested plot, this was no "bit," it could easily fill half a car!

But seeing the other party enthusiastically working, Chen Chi, the silly lad, was drenched in sweat, Alongside Tie Lian, Old Chen, and Zhang Wang’s Family, everyone was busy bustling.

Alright.

She didn’t stop them: "This month, I’ll give you more heat subsidies."

Alright!

Who doesn’t love hearing that as a worker, They immediately perked up, oh-be-gosh, tagging along, and sped up the pace in harvesting forage.

And that’s when Mr. Yang’s call came through.

With family juniors being close, they chatted amicably. Mr. Yang casually called her Boss Song, warmly saying:

"Tantan, Qiaoqiao’s incredible! Picking cotton, he just sold two farm machines, over ten million! This is a first in our company! A record-breaking innovation."

"Amazing!" He kept praising:

"This kid treats people sincerely, and his fans are family-friendly, earning their trust. Many people spend their lives maintaining trust; your family raised him well."

Just ask which parent doesn’t love hearing this kind of talk?

Mr. Yang, worthy of being Chairman Yang, spoke the few simple words that had Song Tan feeling delighted.

She was simply bubbling with happiness, responding with joy:

"Indeed! Our Qiaoqiao is luckier than others, filled with spirit, and genuinely admirable."

"But Uncle Yang, don’t be modest, he and Xiaoyang are just kids having fun. Achievements are a pleasant surprise, but such a large company can’t rely on his sales..."

She saw that 50 yuan coupon.

If it were real sales, would it be like this? Shouldn’t it be limited to a few, with a bonus of a 99,999 grand gift package?

Mr. Yang laughed heartily.

After some pleasantries, he quickly moved to the main topic:

"Our 50 yuan coupon was indeed Xiaoyang’s idea as fun. But sending it out is quite catchy, enhancing the group’s reputation, and boosting Qiaoqiao’s live stream fans."

"But, Qiaoqiao’s character is pure, he’s still a kid, this hype..."

Song Tan immediately caught on!

"I understand! No need for any hype. Qiaoqiao now has so many fans, they’re youngsters, making it lively and happy enough."
