Putting down the phone, Gu Jia couldn't help but waved her fists excitedly, her joy beyond words.
After two months of preparation, the tea factory finally ushered in a turning point.
In the past few days, the hot searches in Yunshan Village have been firmly locked in the top ten, sometimes ranking second, third, sometimes fifth, and seventh. To maintain such popularity, Gu Jia naturally contributes to it.
In the era of self-media, everyone is a media, and they are all chasing hot topics and traffic.
Various media and anchors followed the popularity and came to Yunshan Village. The number of people in just a few days was higher than in previous years. Through the lens of the media, countless people learned about this village deep in the mountains.
The history, customs, and beautiful scenery of Yunshan Village have all been discovered. Of course, the plight of Yunshan Village has also been exposed in front of everyone.
In view of the difficulties in tea factories, many anchors took the initiative to start live broadcasts to bring goods. Taking advantage of the current popularity, orders from all walks of life came in in droves, and all the tea in stock was wiped out!
This move has greatly eased Gu Jia's financial pressure. You must know that buying hot searches and promoting publicity cost money, and there is no account period, so all you pay is real money.
Fortunately, there was a National Day Golden Week in between, and the fireworks company's orders increased by 50% compared with the first half of the year, and the company's cash flow was much abundant.
In addition, New Year's Day and Spring Festival are coming one after another, and many companies have placed orders in advance. These advance payments can solve the company's urgent needs.
If this plan is carried out in the first half of the year, the fireworks company's operating income may not be able to support this stall.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his wife's excitement, Xu Huanshan asked in surprise: "What happened? Why are you so happy?"
Gu Jia walked up to her husband, hugged his arm, and said excitedly: "Huan Shan, let me tell you some good news. All the summer tea and autumn tea in the tea factory are sold out! Our family no longer needs to live in fear.
!”
"real?"
Upon hearing the good news, Xu Huanshan turned around quickly and held Gu Jia's shoulders with excitement.
"Um!"
call!
Xu Huanshan breathed a long sigh of relief, and his whole body was immersed in joy.
"Great! Great!"
During the recent period, although he didn't say it, he was under great pressure in his heart, and the money in the company's account was being spent like water.
Indeed, the heat was rising, but as time went by and no results were seen, he became increasingly unsure.
Only one-third of the money spent on marketing is the company's net profit, and the other two-thirds are accounts payable. When using this money, it is a time difference.
Once the initial investment is wasted and the plan fails, the house they live in now will no longer be able to be saved.
This battle can be said to be a last-ditch battle. Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!
Success, everyone is happy!
If you fail, start all over again!
There is no third way to choose. Fortunately, the dawn has begun to appear and the dawn is coming!
"Wait a minute, Huan Shan, don't get too excited yet."
At this moment, Gu Jia had recovered from the excitement. After calming down, she felt that it was too early to be happy now.
The memory of the Internet is very short. There are too many hot spots and shortcomings in society, and new things happen every day. When something loses its popularity, most netizens will soon forget it.
Although Yunshan Village's marketing was successful, it could not escape this rule. Now she had to consider what would happen after the popularity disappeared.
The reason for this hot search is because of the host competition, which is almost impossible to copy. Next time, even if you spend several times the money, you may not be able to bring about the popularity today.
At this moment, the cell phone placed aside suddenly rang. Gu Jia walked in and looked down. The caller was from an unknown number. Although he didn't know who the caller was, Gu Jia answered the call.
"Hello, who are you?"
A gentle male voice came from the receiver.
"Hello, Ms. Gu, I am a VC from Leading Capital. I am calling you to talk about Kongshan Tea. Our company is very optimistic about this brand. Ms. Gu, I wonder if you are free in the past few days. Let's
We can chat in person."
When he heard the words 'leading capital', Gu Jia's calm mood became restless again.
The development of things is really as written in the plan of "Teacher Chen".
Venture capital really came to our door!
In fact, at first, Gu Jia thought about looking for venture capital to see if others were interested in investing. After all, spending one's own money and spending investors' money are completely different concepts.
If they spend their own money and fail, their family will have to start all over again. If they spend investors' money, if it fails, at most the project will fail and their main business will not be affected.
However, her proposal was directly rejected by Li Jie on the spot.
Li Jie bluntly pointed out her mistake. In the eyes of investors, the tea industry was not a good project due to its large investment, slow results, and difficulty in financing.
To put it bluntly, venture capital is about "beating the drum and passing on the flowers." After entering the game, it begins to wait for takers to appear. These takers are either investors in the next round or investors after a successful IPO.
Therefore, venture capital is always looking for emerging industries that have quick results and are promising because there are enough people to take over and the risks are controllable.
What's more, there is a very important point. What most angel investors value is not the project itself, but the people who lead the project. Rather than investing in projects, it is better to say that they invest in people.
For an entrepreneur like Gu Jia, who has neither industry experience nor fame, and is still engaged in a sunset industry such as the tea industry, those venture capital investors will not take her seriously.
As a result, Gu Jia was convinced and gave up this naive idea.
'Teacher Chen' said something to her at that time, which still lingers in her ears.
Plant a sycamore tree to attract the phoenix!
Today’s phone call is the most powerful evidence!
"Ms. Gu?"
This call brought Gu Jia back to reality from her troubled thoughts, and she hurriedly replied.
"I'm free tomorrow afternoon and the afternoon after tomorrow. Whichever day is more convenient for you, just make arrangements."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
"Well, how about this? Let's meet at Mirae Asset Building at three o'clock the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"
"Okay, no problem, I will be there on time."
"Okay, then let's meet and chat. It's so late today, so I won't interrupt you. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
"YES!!!"
Xu Huanshan, who stood nearby and listened for a long time, picked up Gu Jia and spun him around in the air several times. After landing, he kissed Gu Jia several times.
"Honey! You are amazing!"
Gu Jiaxi couldn't help but smile, nodded her husband's forehead, and said sincerely.
"Husband, we have to thank one person very much. The tea factory can be brought back to life, mostly because of Teacher Chen. Without him, we don't know what we would do now."
Xu Huanshan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we should thank Teacher Chen!"
