Chapter 265 What are you laughing at?
Lin Yunxing panicked a little.
Fighting is fine, slashing is fine, even if I get slashed, it's okay, I'm not afraid of anything.
But he was afraid of playing mind games with these clever people.
You can't beat them.
He scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, replying, "I'm from the same village as County Chief Chen; we've been playing together since we were kids."
"That's great. It's both good and a blessing for Dawei to have a friend like you by his side."
"You're too kind."
Tingting crossed her arms and observed Lin Yunxing's expression from behind in the rearview mirror.
A woman's intuition told her.
The older sister that Lin Yunxing didn't mention earlier... there's probably more to it than meets the eye...
Upon arriving at the compound, Wu Maocai jogged over and opened the car door.
"Welcome, welcome."
Welcome, Director Ding, for your guidance.
"The comrades are all waiting for you."
Wu Maocai bent down and extended his arms, inviting her upstairs.
Ding Tingting, carrying a small bag, shielded her eyes from the glaring sunlight with her hand: "Don't you guys get a break on the weekend?"
"I called them all back."
It's rare for you to come all this way.
The colleagues at the fruit company are very eager to hear your suggestions.
People who are usually impossible to invite are now eagerly awaiting their arrival.
Tingting grinned: "I could have slept in and spent time with my family, but now they're probably cursing me in their hearts, right?"
"Absolutely not, they're all super energized, you can see for yourself."
We arrived at the conference room in the county government building.
Executive Deputy County Head Liu Zhiming sat in the main seat: "Director Ding, you must be tired from your journey. Please have a seat."
When Tingting saw that Dawei wouldn't be hosting the meeting today, she felt a little uneasy. But since she was already there, she had to get through the situation, so she sat down in the second-in-command seat next to Liu Zhiming.
Wu Maocai sat to Tingting's right and leaned closer to whisper, "There's an urgent matter in the education sector that's caused a public outcry. County Chief Chen is handling it, so he asked Deputy County Chief Liu to support this coordination meeting."
It turned out to be the case.
Tingting felt a little relieved and responded with a smile.
"Everyone, please report on your current work and check the progress..." Liu Zhiming began.
The heads of several departments at Yuanshan Fruit Industry began to report one by one.
Among them, the acting brand director also brought up the idea of using the brand name "Yuanshan Navel Orange" that Tingting mentioned last night.
This shows that David had already communicated with the attendees; he was originally going to attend the meeting, but he had to leave due to other commitments.
Everyone raised their hands to vote.
The vast majority of people believe that the suggestion of using Yuanshan navel oranges is the most suitable among the several options.
Only three people did not raise their hands; all of them were members of a third-party brand planning company invited by the Yuanshan County Government Office.
These three individuals belong to the same brand planning company.
Previously, Wu Maocai attempted to "absorb and reference" their creative ideas to gain valuable experience for the early preparation of the fruit company, which was needed for the cost of Yuanshan Fruit Industry.
He deliberately set up a bidding project, saying he wanted to sign a contract with a brand company to help Yuanshan Fruit Industry develop.
Then, he had these companies that were interested in bidding come up with proposals and ideas. Wu Maocai then "absorbed and referenced" these ideas and had his subordinates use them directly in the fruit company's projects.
To put it bluntly, it's about getting something for free.
The bidding process has been delayed.
These third-party companies that intended to bid were unable to receive payment and were in a difficult position to back down.
Wu Maocai then orchestrated various meetings, making it seem as if the Yuanshan County government was very sincere in its cooperation, constantly giving them hope.
Old Wu is a pro at these things.
Not only do they not give money, they also give people hope, keeping them hanging on to move forward.
In reality, these three individuals had no voting rights at all in this coordination meeting; they were merely figureheads.
If Dawei were to chair this coordination meeting today, he would pretend to ask the three outsiders for their opinions, then accompany Wu Maocai, pretend to listen, and finally ignore them.
But today's meeting is chaired by Liu Zhiming, who is unaware of the inside story and how much Wu Maocai has been manipulating behind the scenes.
Liu Zhiming noticed that three people hadn't raised their hands, so he asked them as usual.
"These three..."
Wu Maocai immediately chimed in: "Oh, they are brand experts invited by our county government office."
A third-party company that specializes in brand planning and marketing promotion for businesses.
They also had proposals today, so we called them all in to discuss and coordinate the progress.
Liu Zhiming was originally a centrist, but seeing that Zhou Xiangzhang's power was waning, Dawei asked him to chair the meeting in her place, and he immediately agreed. Now, wanting to make his presence felt, he asked again, "Oh, I see. Do the three comrades feel there's anything wrong with this name?"
The three of them seemed to have been wanting to speak for a while.
Two men and one woman, all dressed in very trendy clothes.
Especially the woman, whose hair was like an "exploding steamed bun," as if it had been blown up by firecrackers, and the strands were curled up like a chicken coop, hence the name "exploding steamed bun."
This woman likes to mix Chinese and English when she speaks.
"We just don't get the feel of the brand name 'Yuanshan Navel Oranges.' What kind of name is that?"
The woman shrugged and smiled wryly, saying she didn't feel anything for the name; they didn't know it was Tingting's idea.
Exploding Wotou looked at his two colleagues, who then smiled speechlessly.
The woman shrugged, her gesture and expression somewhat arrogant: "Which of the two brand solutions our company proposed isn't better than this?"
Tingting pursed her lips upon hearing this, but remained silent.
She was a consultant hired by Yuanshan County at their own expense, making her far superior to these free laborers.
How could her proposal be wrong?
Liu Zhiming glanced at the meeting documents and found a past proposal from this third-party company: "The brand names you proposed are 'Guangdong Orange' and 'Thin-skinned Fragrant Orange,' right?"
"Yes!"
The woman with the afro replied confidently.
Tingting couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, almost bursting out laughing.
What is all this nonsense?
The name "Guangdong Orange" is used like that of salt or liquor sellers. That's how they named it. And once the brand is established, it's just doing the work for others. Any store in the province can claim that their oranges are from Guangdong.
Thin-skinned oranges are even less satisfactory, making them look like some kind of condiment. A state-owned enterprise's brand can't be so casual. It needs to be catchy, have a certain seriousness, and also take the market into consideration.
Tingting's attempt to laugh was spotted by the man with the afro, who immediately turned sour.
"This lady."
What are you laughing at?
Ok?
The two brand names we suggested are not as good as this Yuanshan Navel Orange, are they?
The name "thin-skinned orange" is especially appealing to young people.
We conducted street surveys; out of 100 young people we randomly interviewed, 80 thought the name was good.
