Chapter 121(1/2)
: Controlling People in the Right Way
Sun Xiufeng was slightly startled when he heard Zhang Yang's speech. He nodded with a smile and said, "Not only is handsome guy Zhang good at fishing, he is also very eloquent! Fishing is the tenderness of a gentleman. This is a great thing to say!"
Zhang Yang scratched his head: "Hey, you are so complimentary!"
Sun Xiufeng: “Now that the acceptance speech has been introduced, let’s invite the fishing friends who got the rankings to come on stage again and let’s take a photo together! Thank you again for your enthusiastic response to the competition!”
Taking group photos is very common and is basically standard for awarding awards. With Sun Xiufeng's greeting, the three members of Zhang Yang's team quickly walked onto the stage.
At this time, a scene appeared that made Sun Xiufeng collapse.
Zhang Yang, Zhao Bingguang, Meng Fan, the champion, second runner-up, each walked to the stage holding a small yellow-faced fishing bait package produced by Famous Fishing Tackle and holding their respective trophies.
In the competition field, results are the greatest persuasion. No matter how awesome you are, it will be in vain if you don't get a ranking.
But this time, three people lined up with bait packaging bags, immediately attracting the attention of everyone on and off the stage.
"I bet, the top three this time are all from Zhang Yang?"
"The little yellow noodles they all use? Is there still a py transaction?"
"What the fuck! This second place guy named Meng Fan is also with Zhang Yang? The three of them won the first, second and third place? This is too fake!"
The audience immediately became noisy, and many people were stimulated by this scene.
In addition to skill in fishing competitions, luck also has a considerable impact on results.
Today's competition is not very impressive, it can only be considered so-so and can be explained away.
A so-called fishing master like Ma Yuhua, who has been famous for a long time, signed up with several apprentices.
The result was that he didn't even make it into the top ten, which illustrates the cruelty of fish love.
However, under this precondition,
The three people with Zhang Yang actually took the top three places and received a total bonus of 16,000 yuan. This advertising effect was a direct boost.
Ordinary fishing friends are at best interested in this magical bait due to the visual impact. As the sponsor of this competition, Sun Xiufeng is even more uncomfortable.
Originally, the company organized the competition to promote the marketing of Marukyu bait, but it was a good thing because the top three were rounded out by competing baits.
They were getting bonuses and stealing customers, but they were told that everything was legal and reasonable. Even if they wanted to protest, they couldn't open their mouths. Lao Sun felt miserable!
I took a hasty photo together, and then different small groups took photos of each other as a souvenir.
Zhang Yang and the others waited for a while, but there was no one else on the podium. There were only three people left and Wang Yan took a few group photos of the three of them before ending today's competition.
After all this trouble, it was already past eleven o'clock. Meng Fan waved his hand and went to find a place to celebrate and have dinner!
Three fishermen, plus a photographer, the four of them found a nice hotel in the city, and started making serious plans.
The four people spent more than 700, and Meng Fan didn't feel bad at all. He didn't even ask the boss to issue an invoice.
The fact that Zhang Yang’s team won the first, second and third place was quickly posted to the local fishing friends group.
Suddenly, the reputation that Xiao Huang Noodle had already gained soared to a new level again, and in the eyes of some people, it became synonymous with the magic bait.
When Zhang Yang returned to the shop after eating and drinking, before two o'clock in the afternoon, the shop was completely packed with new fishing friends who had heard the news.
Lao Zhao and Meng Fan also returned to the store together, and unequivocally took the certificate and trophy out of the car in front of everyone.
Zhang Yang was slightly startled when he saw the actions of the old man and the young man: "What is this for? Why did you take down the honor trophy?"
Meng Fan grinned: "Brother Zhao and I discussed it, it's useless if we take this thing home, otherwise we can just leave it in the store!
Taking the top three places, placing three trophies in the store, how proud you are! Who wouldn’t be confused looking at it!”
Zhao Bingguang also echoed: "Xiao Meng's meaning is also what I mean!
Xiao Meng and I got good grades, and the military medals are half as good as yours! Just put the trophies in the store to show off!
When I have the right opportunity, I will come back with more and create a wall of honor filled with everything!"
Hearing the words of these two buddies, Zhang Yang felt a warm feeling in his heart.
When making friends, you need to be transparent with others. You have a good taste in people. These two friends are both wonderful people!
"Okay! Then leave me here!"
Zhang Yang nodded and agreed, clearing a small space on the top row of shelves against the wall and placing the competition trophy on it.
"Master Zhang Yang, which yellow noodle are you using in the competition? Give me a few packs, I'm from Gaoxin!"
"I heard that there is a small medicine called brown sugar ointment that is also very effective. Give me a bottle too!"
"It's such a nice day today, if we don't hold a discount or promotion or something, just make it fun for everyone, just treat it as a happy meal!"
Zhang Yang waved his hand: "The yellow noodles in the store today are on sale at a 20% discount. Let's just celebrate that we have won the top three. Thank you everyone!"
The original price was 31 pounds, but it was sold for 24 yuan after a 20% discount.
Many fishermen who came here because of its reputation came just for this authentic small yellow noodle bait. When they heard that there was a discount, they started shopping more frantically.
Before five o'clock in the afternoon, the store's inventory was wiped out. One of the rich fishing friends who drove more than 80 kilometers came here and bought 20 kilograms per person.
The lively atmosphere in the shop lasted until the evening, when it returned to peace.
Lao Zhao and Meng Fan also drove away, leaving only Zhang Yang and Wang Yan sitting in the corner editing materials on a laptop.
Zhang Yang took out today's bonus envelope. The bonus was 10,000 yuan. After deducting the tax of 2,000 yuan, there was still 8,000 yuan left. Zhang Yang casually took out 2,000 yuan and handed it to Wang Yan.
Seeing Zhang Yang sharing the prize money, Wang Yan was stunned: "What is this for? Even if you win the championship, you also need to share the money?"
Zhang Yang nodded: "Didn't my fishing friend say this afternoon, Chi Xi'er, you can take two thousand, don't think it's too little!"
"I don't want this money!" Wang Yan shook his head and refused very principledly.
The last time we went fishing together and sold fish in the reservoir, Zhang Yang shared the dividends, and Wang Yan reluctantly accepted it, but that was Wang Yan's bottom line. After all, he had already received his share of the salary he deserved.
In this competition, the prize money was purely earned by Zhang Yang himself. Wang Yan did not do any help. Wang Yan felt that he had no reason to take the money.
"What's going on? Are you trying to trick me into talking about principles and having a bottom line?" Zhang Yang glanced at Wang Yan blankly.
"Whatever you say, I don't want the money!" Wang Yan spread his hands and his attitude was clear.
"Do you feel that you didn't do anything in the competition? Do you feel guilty about taking the money?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Yes, last time the reservoir sold fish, at least I played for a long time, so I just took it! Not this time, I stepped on the line and I can't take it!" Wang Yan shook his head, seriously.
"Then I'll ask you a question, and you'll have to answer it!
Do you think we brothers can be considered a team?" Zhang Yang asked in a slow tone.
Wang Yan's heart sank when he heard the word team.
"Forget it!" Wang Yan replied.
"Then you are so confused! Did you see that we were being polite when Meng Fan treated us to a treat? Or was it because everyone put the trophy in the store and I was being polite?
I've been holding back some words for a long time, and I haven't found the right opportunity to tell you. Let's just talk about it today!
I feel that the relationship between us buddies before is a little different from the relationship now after you get a salary from me!
You said it yourself, how long have you been bragging to everyone?
He's obviously a hothead, but he acts like a boring gourd, so what, if you take my salary, you're inferior to others?"
There is absolutely no exaggeration in what Zhang Yang said. When we first met, Wang Yan was a very interesting person in his words and deeds. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the king of bullies.
However, after becoming a photographer for Zhang Yang, his contact with everyone has obviously become somewhat restrained. Even when he is not working, his sense of presence is very low. It has been a long time since he got along with others carelessly.
"I...I..."
Wang Yan couldn't stand being "questioned" by Zhang Yang like this.
Wang Yan's mentality has indeed changed a lot. After all, the salary was not low at that time and the work was easy.
Although Wang Yan is usually careless, he is a very thoughtful person at heart, so he consciously controls his emotions and state.
However, in Zhang Yang's opinion, these details seemed a bit formal. Wang Yan was a talented person, and Zhang Yang did not want to talk to him based solely on his salary and superiority.
If you rely on wages, then people can withdraw without taking any money, and no one will be owed anything.
By relying on the feelings of a buddy to speak, Wang Yan is tied to Zhang Yang's chariot. This is the state of interpersonal relationships that Zhang Yang wants.
"What are you doing? I've finished my words. The team will share the dividends. It's up to you whether you take the money or not!" Zhang Yang curled his lips with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Damn it! That's it for now, I'll take the money! Don't take advantage of me, you bastard!" Wang Yan couldn't help but swore and put the money in his pocket.
Zhang Yang smiled and nodded: "That's pretty much it! Starting from next month, I will give you another five hundred salary increase!"
"Fuck, you're blatantly throwing money at me. You don't want to hide it from me, do you? My orientation is normal. Why the hell can you stop me!"
Wang Yan pinched his crotch in an exaggerated manner and looked a little panicked at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang rolled his eyes: "Go away..."
…
Zhang Yang won the championship, the team took all the top three materials, and Wang Yan edited the video the next day.
The old rule is to post one copy to official accounts, one to forums, and another to major QQ groups and WeChat groups. While the popularity has not dissipated, continue to expand your popularity and brand influence.
As time goes by, the influence of video communication gradually begins to become more prominent.
To be continued...
