Chapter 65 Wen Guoliang: This is it, we're finished.
"One Hundred Million a Day, Yet Trapped in a County Town" - Stunning writing style and a thrilling plot!
Xiao Jiandong's voice trembled even more.
"I said, 'Yes.' Then she said, 'Daddy, let me get one for you.'"
He took a deep breath.
She thought for a long time, then wrote two words on the paper: "Chongxi". I asked her what it meant, and she said, "Chong" means "renewal", and "Xi" means the morning sun. She said, "Dad, everything will be alright when it gets light."
At this point, Xiao Jiandong finally shed tears.
He raised his hand and wiped his eyes with his arm, but tears kept streaming down his cheeks.
"At the time... I didn't know where she learned that word. Later I found out that she learned the word 'dawn' at school, and the teacher said it was the morning sunlight."
She said, "Dad, you haven't smiled at all this month. I hope you'll smile soon, like the morning sun."
Xiao Jiandong couldn't continue speaking.
He lowered his head, his shoulders twitching.
Some people in the audience were already crying.
Several female employees took out tissues.
Mayor Chen sat in the front row, his eyes also reddening.
He took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, and put them back on.
The live stream chat was completely flooded with comments.
I cried...
"An eight-year-old girl, more sensible than adults."
"The phrase 'Everything will be alright when it gets light' really broke me."
"This is the true 'Dawn'!"
"This brand story is perfect!"
......
Wen Guoliang sat on the sofa, his phone screen still lit up.
He watched Xiao Jiandong cry on stage, but the expression on his own face was even worse than crying.
It wasn't because I was moved.
It was because he realized that he had lost again.
Wang Guanxi's move was ruthless.
He's not selling clothes; he's selling stories.
Behind the phrase "Seeing the light again" lies the true story of "an eight-year-old girl using 'dawn' to comfort her father who delivers packages."
Once this story gets out, the brand will be more than just a brand.
It is emotion, it is warmth, it is the attitude of standing on the side of the weak.
In addition, Xiao Jiandong already had a lot of public attention because of his wife's infidelity, and he had a victim mentality that made him more relatable. Now that the press conference has been broadcast live, the whole country will know about it very quickly.
Wen Guoliang slammed his phone down on the coffee table and closed his eyes.
This is it.
……
On the stage.
After Xiao Jiandong calmed down, Wang Guanxi and Xiao Jiandong continued to speak.
His voice was much softer than before, as if he were chatting with a friend.
"So, do you all understand now? The two characters 'Chongxi' were not something I came up with, nor were they chosen by the judging panel. They were two characters written by an eight-year-old girl during her father's darkest time."
He turned around and looked at Xiao Jiandong.
"Jiandong, I told you, I chose this name. One million is yours."
Xiao Jiandong raised his head, tears still on his face. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out.
Wang Guanxi patted him on the shoulder and turned to the audience.
"I am here today to announce the official establishment of the 'Chongxi' brand."
"Mr. Xiao Jiandong will serve as the first 'Dawn Experience Officer' for the 'Chongxi' brand."
The audience was unsure whether to applaud or be moved; some applauded, some wiped away tears, and the scene was somewhat chaotic.
Wang Guanxi continued, this time in a much more serious tone.
"Furthermore, I hereby announce that Xiao Jiandong's one million yuan bonus will be credited to his account in full today."
"At the same time, the 'Chongxi' brand will hire Xiao Jiandong as a full-time employee, making him a member of our 'Chongxi' brand logistics department."
Xiao Jiandong finally couldn't hold back anymore, squatted on the stage, covered his face and cried.
The applause of the audience was thunderous.
The comments in the live stream were too blurry to read; they were just a constant barrage of text.
"This is what a good Chinese boss should be like!"
"They really gave me a million! I thought it was just a publicity stunt!"
"Wang Guanxi is awesome!"
"Chongxi, I've got it! From now on, I'll buy clothes from this brand!"
"I want to submit my work too! Wait, it's already over, sob sob..."
......
Xiao Jiandong cried on stage for almost half a minute before being helped off the stage by two staff members.
The applause from the audience hadn't stopped, and some people were clapping and wiping away tears at the same time. The scene was both touching and a little funny.
Wang Guanxi did not leave the stage.
He stood there until the applause subsided a little, then picked up the microphone again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the story is over." His tone suddenly became lighter. "But today's matter is not over yet."
The audience fell silent, wondering what he was up to next.
The chat in the live stream stopped, and everyone stared at the screen.
Wang Guanxi waved towards the side of the stage.
Cecilia Cheung pushed a small cart onto the stage, on which were several pieces of clothing, neatly hung.
A white T-shirt, a black sweatshirt, a denim jacket, and khaki casual pants.
On the left chest of each garment, the two small characters "Chongxi" are embroidered.
The lettering is gold foil, and it sparkles under the light.
Wang Guanxi picked up the white T-shirt and showed it to the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, taking this opportunity of today's press conference, we are officially introducing the first batch of products from our 'Chongxi' brand."
He introduced each item one by one, speaking very quickly, as if reciting GG words.
"This sweatshirt has a terry lining, so it won't shed or shrink. It's priced at 199."
"This denim jacket is made of 100% cotton with a washed finish and a distressed look. It is priced at 299."
"These casual pants are four-way stretchy, wrinkle-resistant and require no ironing, priced at 149."
He put down his clothes, looked at the media and cameras below the stage, and a smirk appeared on his lips.
"The four products I just mentioned are all the prices. They are now available on our Douyin store."
He took out his phone, tapped the screen a few times, and then held the phone up.
"Three, two, one."
"Start the sale!"
Some people in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then they all took out their phones.
In the live stream room, the operations team had already uploaded the product links in advance.
The live chat went wild instantly.
"Where's the link? Where is it?"
"I clicked on it! I want that hoodie!"
"T-shirts are ninety-nine yuan? Give me three!"
"Holy crap, it's gone?! I just added it to my cart and it's already gone?!"
"Black hoodies are sold out!"
"My denim jacket is gone too!"
"What's going on? Not even a second?"
......
The number of viewers in the upper right corner of the live stream jumped from 12,000 to 20,000, then to 30,000, and it's still climbing.
Cecilia Cheung stood to the side of the stage, staring at the backstage data, her eyes widening.
She turned around and mouthed to Edison Wang, "Sold out."
Wang Guanxi nodded slightly, his face expressionless, but he couldn't suppress the urge to smile.
Less than thirty seconds.
Four products, with 500 pieces of each in stock, totaling 2,000 pieces.
Sold out.
