Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Chapter five hundred and seventy second kneeling



Chapter five hundred and seventy second kneeling

Sanzhi Iijima knew very well that if the news of Takuya Kimura's relationship was leaked, it would lead to disastrous consequences.

The primary reason why Takuya Kimura has so many female fans is of course because of his good looks. To put it bluntly, the female group pays attention to Takuya Kimura, and it must be for their faces.

Whether it's a young girl, a housewife, or an old Obasan, they will have some fantasies about Takuya Kimura. If the news of Takuya Kimura's love is exposed, it will break the fans' perception of Takuya Kimura. fantasy.

At that time, Takuya Kimura will definitely lose a lot of fans, and the commercial value will also be greatly reduced.

In the Japanese entertainment industry, idols engaging in underground romances are considered a form of deception. Artists need to apologize to the public, and there is a high possibility that they will be hidden directly by the company.

Moreover, Takuya Kimura is in love with Shizuka Kudo, which is probably a pair of lovers that the Japanese people don't want to see very much.

Due to the popularity of Century of Love, Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako are regarded as the best on-screen couple. Many Japanese media are also speculating whether the two will develop into a relationship of lovers.

If Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako fall in love, maybe fans can still get some off-screen satisfaction, and their psychological acceptance will be higher.

But Shizuka Kudo, who is out of reach, will destroy the image of the best on-screen couple in the minds of fans.

What's more, Shizuka Kudo is also a top star herself, and is the dream lover of many Japanese men. At that time, Shizuka Kudo's new album could still sell an astonishing 15 million copies, which shows that her popularity is also very high.

Takuya Kimura and Shizuka Kudo, one is the male god of the whole people, and the other is the goddess of dreams. The combination of the two looks like a golden boy and a jade girl on the surface, and they are a good match.

But in the eyes of fans on both sides, it would be that Shizuka Kudo robbed my husband, or Takuya Kimura robbed my wife.

The so-called revenge for taking a wife is irreconcilable! If you dare to rob my husband, I will fight for you!

The combination of these two people must be unfavorable to fans on both sides.

Johnny's \u0026 Associates managed to cultivate a cash cow like Takuya Kimura, and now it's time to count on him to make money, how can news of a relationship be exposed!

If this matter is known by the media, Takuya Kimura's worth will plummet, and the loss of Johnny \u0026 Associates must be far more than 200 million yen.

Thinking of this, Iijima Mitomo immediately panicked.

In the next second, Santomo Iijima knelt down directly, and said with a terrified expression: Mr. Li, please don't reveal the relationship between Takuya Kimura and Shizuka Kudo!

Although Li Weidong knew that kneeling was the highest way of requesting others in Japanese etiquette. But Sanzhi Iijima didn't say anything, just knelt down immediately, which really surprised Li Weidong.

Sanzhi Iijima really can afford to let go, how arrogant he was when he threatened me just now, how straightforward he is kneeling now! Li Weidong thought to himself.

Then he nodded with satisfaction, and then said: Ms. Iijima, I still need Takuya Kimura to endorse my company's products. Of course, I will not spread news that is not good for Takuya Kimura.

But if Johnny \u0026 Associates doesn't plan to let Takuya Kimura continue to endorse our products, then we have no interest relationship, and I can't guarantee that I won't get drunk and say something wrong!

Sanchi Iijima immediately said: Mr. Li, please rest assured that Takuya Kimura will continue to endorse your company's products as always. After all, we have signed a contract, and Johnny's \u0026 Associates will abide by the contract.

That's good, I'm really worried that someone will ask you for 200 million yen! Li Weidong said with a smile.

The matter of 200 million yen is a complete misunderstanding, please don't take it to heart, Mr. Li! Sanchi Iijima quickly stated his position.

Sanchi Iijima personally sent Li Weidong away, and kept bowing at the door.

Li Weidong accepted it calmly,

I knelt down, and I didn't give the New Year's money myself, so I can't accept it after bowing a few times!

Watching Li Weidong leave in the car, Santomo Iijima was very depressed. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but who knew that the blackmail would not work, so he knelt down in a low voice instead. This deal was a loss.

Let's let this Chinese man be proud for a few days first. The commercials that Takuya Kimura shot for them cannot be used for a lifetime. He will have to shoot new commercials sooner or later, so let's beat him hard. I want you to repay us twice as much for our loss today!

Sitting in the car back to the hotel, Li Weidong was also considering today's gains and losses.

After today's incident, the cooperation with Johnny \u0026 Associates is almost over! Li Weidong thought to himself.

Li Weidong knew very well that the incident was so unpleasant that there was absolutely no possibility of further cooperation. Johnny's \u0026 Associates would definitely not want to be deflated. Even if they do business with Johnny's \u0026 Associates in the future, they have to guard against them.

Next year, Takuya Kimura will marry Shizuka Kudo. At that time, Takuya Kimura's popularity will plummet, and the endorsement effect will probably be much worse!

In March 2000, some Japanese media took photos of Takuya Kimura and Shizuka Kudo together, revealing that the two were in a relationship, but neither side responded positively. pressed down.

Until November, Kimura Takuya suddenly announced his marriage.

At that time, Kudo Shizuka was pregnant, so the two were considered to be married to their children.

The Japanese media paid great attention to this matter, and almost all TV stations were broadcasting related information in a scrolling manner, which aroused even more heat than the news about the emperor's death.

And Johnny's Office was also caught off guard by Takuya Kimura. President Kitagawa and manager Mitomo Iijima must hate Takuya Kimura to death.

The marriage made Takuya Kimura lose countless fans, and even many female fans hated him because of love. At the same time, Shizuka Kudo became the most unpopular female artist in Japan for many years in a row.

Of course Takuya Kimura also tops the list of least popular male artists.

If it were an ordinary artist, if such a thing happened, it would be hidden by the company. However, Takuya Kimura's influence is too great. Even if he loses a lot of fans, he can still bring benefits to the company.

Therefore, Johnny's Office did not hide Takuya Kimura, but greatly reduced Takuya Kimura's resources.

For example, the next TV series hero starring Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako was cold-handed by Johnny \u0026 Associates, and all planned promotional activities were cancelled.

Hero is a well-produced Japanese drama. Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako are the best on-screen couples in the minds of Japanese people. This was originally the focus of the TV drama's promotion.

But with Kimura Takuya's marriage, the best on-screen couple naturally no longer exists, and the corresponding publicity is also gone.

At that time, the Japanese media also generally believed that Takuya Kimura was finished, and there were many voices singing bad words about Takuya Kimura. Some people even thought that hero was the last drama starring Takuya Kimura.

Fortunately, the broadcast dates of Japanese TV dramas are all arranged in advance, and if the files are temporarily withdrawn, there will be no other works to replace them. That's why this TV drama has kept the Ninth Moon schedule.

As a result, Takuya Kimura made a comeback with hero. This TV series has achieved great success, and it is also the first TV series in the history of Japanese dramas to have more than 30 episodes per episode.

In this TV series, Takuya Kimura plays the prosecutor. After the TV series was broadcast, many law students from prestigious schools have applied for the prosecutor's exam, which shows the influence of this drama.

Although hero is very successful, it is an indisputable fact that Takuya Kimura's commercial value has declined.

When Takuya Kimura was the hottest, advertising costs started at hundreds of millions of yen, and he might not be able to get it.

In 2006, Takuya Kimura's advertising fee dropped to 90 million yen, in 2013 it dropped to less than 60 million yen, and in 2020 the advertising fee dropped to just over 40 million, and he was almost chased by his daughter up.

People are not happy every day, and flowers are not popular every day. Idols are like this. After a few years of bonus period, the commercial value will decline rapidly.

People like Takuya Kimura have already made a very successful transformation.

Li Weidong knows that after Kimura Takuya gets married next year, his ability to carry goods will drop significantly.

And because Kimura Takuya's coffee rank is relatively high, and the advertising fee is also relatively expensive, the price/performance ratio is relatively average.

At that time, even if the endorsement of Takuya Kimura is lost, Puppy Electric will have nothing to lose.

For the new generation of male stars such as Shun Oguri and Satoshi Tsumabuki, the cost-effectiveness of advertisements may be even higher.

What's more, Li Weidong also has a super killer.

In 2001, a combination that swept across Asia was born, and in terms of influence, it can be said to be unprecedented.

The four big kings of the established big names, popular fried chickens such as Nicholas Tse, Xiuwen, and Stefanie, the newly rising Jay Chou and the American Divorce Brother, all can't stand the edge of this group.

The most important thing is that this group was very poor when they first debuted, the kind of poverty on the food and clothing line.

At that time, it only cost a little money to sign this combination and let them endorse Puppy Electric, which can be described as ultra-low cost and super high return.

After solving the matter of Johnny's office, Li Weidong returned to China that day.

This time, Li Weidong did not choose to return to the capital, but took a direct flight to Jinzhou. He wanted to inspect the medical equipment factory in Jinzhou by the way.

Jinzhou Medical Device Factory, after being acquired by Puppy Medical, has now been renamed Puppy Medical Device Factory, which mainly produces disposable syringes and infusion sets.

After putting on the sanitary protective equipment, Li Weidong, accompanied by Lu Guangming, inspected the production workshop.

Now we mainly adopt the production method of two shifts, and each night shift has an extra subsidy of five yuan. Lu Guangming introduced.

A shift of 12 hours? Then the intensity of the work is a bit too high. Will the workers' bodies be overwhelmed? Li Weidong said.

As the originator of militarized management, Li Weidong didn't blush when he said this.

Lu Guangming answered, I want twelve hours, but the Labor Law does not allow that much time. We have ten hours per shift, and the two shifts add up to twenty hours.

Of the remaining four hours, one hour is used for shift change, one hour is for equipment inspection and maintenance, and the other two hours are for workshop disinfection.

Our products are syringes and infusion sets, which must be produced in a sterile environment, so the disinfection process will take a lot of time, and these four hours a day cannot be saved.

Li Weidong nodded: It's beyond my expectation to be able to produce in two shifts. To be honest, although I know that there is a huge market demand for disposable infusion sets and syringes, I really didn't expect you to open up the market so quickly. It's so fast. It doesn't take long, and we will start working in two shifts.

It's mainly because you, the chairman, have a good leadership, and the sales staff are willing to work hard. Lu Guangming said.

Okay, old Lu, don't put a high hat on me. I don't care about the affairs of the medical equipment factory. It's not because of your ability to lead well. But I also believe that the sales staff must be Very hard-working. Li Weidong said.

When it came to sales, Lu Guangming acted hesitant to speak.

Li Weidong discovered this, so he said, Lao Lu, don't hide what you have to say, just say it.

Lu Guangming lowered his voice and said, Actually, in terms of sales, I still used some tricks. It was the routine of selling massage chairs in the past, but this time it was not aimed at individual doctors, but at hospitals.

Selling massage seats uses the method of selling with gold, which is to put it bluntly as a commission.

Disposable syringes, infusion sets and other medical devices are used in large quantities and are purchased uniformly by hospitals, so the target of this gold sales is naturally also hospitals.

In 1998, China started the national medical insurance reform for urban employees, built a social medical security system, and transformed the previous public medical system into a medical insurance system.

This also means that employees have more choices for seeing a doctor. Originally, urban employees could only get reimbursed for medical treatment in hospitals within the system. It is relatively difficult to go to other hospitals for medical treatment and then return to their own unit for reimbursement.

Since the introduction of medical insurance, medical treatment is no longer subject to reimbursement restrictions, and urban workers are more inclined to go to large hospitals with good medical skills and advanced equipment. Seeing a doctor and going to large hospitals to get together also began in that era.

Moreover, at that time, the right to purchase medicines and medical equipment was in the hands of the hospital itself. The hospital could directly negotiate with the supplier for procurement without having to go through the higher-level authorities or even go through the bidding process.

In July 2000, the state began to experiment with the drug bidding and procurement system. Since then, it has been stipulated that public hospitals can only purchase products that have won bids during the bidding process.

That is to say, the bidding departments in various places will conduct a bidding first, and then list a bidding catalogue. If public hospitals want to purchase, they can only choose from this bidding catalogue. They can purchase directly or conduct bidding for the products in the catalogue. .

In 1999, this policy had not yet been implemented, and hospitals had relatively large autonomy in procurement, so the strategy of selling with gold used by medical representatives was even more effective.

Direct price cuts and rebates are completely two concepts. The product price is reduced by 100 yuan, and the price paid by the buyer is actually the same as the commission of 100 yuan, but there is a huge difference in the account.

The same 100 yuan has been turned into a commission, and the flexibility of use will be much higher.

Therefore, when those 4S stores in later generations sell cars, what they get is the rebates from the car companies, rather than the car companies directly selling cars at lower prices.

Selling with gold is an unspoken rule in the pharmaceutical industry. Li Weidong is not a health authority, and there is nothing he can do about it.

And when everyone is doing this, but you are the only one who doesn't do it, then you must be the one who suffers.

So Li Weidong had no choice but to say; It is unavoidable to have costs and expenses in sales, but the accounts must be clear, especially in terms of tax payment. It cannot be used. Only by paying taxes according to laws and regulations can the income be legal.”

I understand. I will explain to the financial side and let them pay special attention to this issue.

Lu Guangming paused, and said, I have another thing to report. Now that the medical device factory has stabilized, I want to start a new project.

New project? Li Weidong was taken aback for a moment. He suddenly remembered that Lu Guangming, whom he knew well in his previous life, started out as a household oxygen generator.

So Li Weidong asked with a smile; Old Lu, don't you want to make an oxygen generator?

Lu Guangming opened his eyes wide in surprise: Chairman, how did you guess that?
