  Chapter 177 The Problem with Branding

  After negotiating the cooperation with President Song of Jinling, Zhao Guoyang is also in a good mood.

   This is not a question of how much money can be made from supplying this batch of goods to Jinling Department Store, but a question of the opportunity for this small workshop of my own to enter a huge market.

   Although Jinling City's status in the country is not comparable to that of Songjiang, it is the provincial capital and sub-provincial city of Jiangnan Province after all, and it is definitely in the top ten in the comprehensive ranking of major cities in the country.

  Especially the education level of Jinling City, in the country, is only second only to Beijing City, and it can even wrestle with SJ City.

  A high level of education means that there are more college students in Jinling City, and more college students means more talents, and it also means that Jinling City's development speed will be much faster than other small and medium-sized cities.

  Moreover, college students are the main force in the consumption of novelties in the market.

  It seems that this kind of hair clip designed by myself is tailor-made for modern urban women.

  If this is placed on the university campus in Jinling City, it will definitely be sought after by those female college students. Zhao Guoyang still has this confidence.

  If the products of my small workshop can gain a firm foothold in the largest shopping mall in Jinling City, it will undoubtedly be a great thing, and it will also lay a solid foundation for my next plan.

   Silently thinking about how to make a name for himself in Jinling City, Zhao Guoyang suddenly had an idea.

He slapped Monkey on the shoulder suddenly, and said with shining eyes: "Monkey, it seems that our hairpin still lacks a brand. When Sister Bai called me last time, she mentioned the registered trademark." This procrastination, until now, I almost forgot about it.”

   "Brand? Registered trademark? What is it for?" Monkey scratched his head in confusion, not knowing how to reply Zhao Guoyang's words.

Seeing the bewildered look on this guy's face, Zhao Guoyang kicked him and said, "Damn, you can't even think of a name? Our hairpin will definitely get higher and higher in the future. Without a famous name, How can I make a lot of money? Many times, customers recognize brands more than quality..."

   "Uh...Guoyang, how about calling it Meimei Hairpin?" Monkey thought about it and asked tentatively.

   "What, Meimei hairpin?" Hearing this tacky name, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

  He has completely lost the idea of ​​communicating with Monkey on this brand issue.

  Monkey may also know that the name he proposed is a bit earthy, so he smiled and didn't know what to say.

"Come on, let's not talk about this for now. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry now. After you go back, think about it for me. You must think of a more foreign name, you know?" Zhao Guoyang said with a look of hatred for iron and steel .

   "Okay, okay, I see, Guoyang..." the monkey nodded repeatedly.

  After discussing some matters needing attention with Monkey, Zhao Guoyang handed him the 10,000 yuan deposit certificate, told him to transfer the money to the company account as soon as possible, and then went home.

  After arriving home, Zhao Guoyang saw that the phone had been installed, and the younger sister also explained the ins and outs to the family.

  He tried to dial a few numbers, and when he found that there was no problem, he explained to his mother and asked her to send a page to him if she had something to do, and left his BP machine number.

   "Guoyang, you have to go back to Ninghai City right now? Isn't it too late?" He Huifen said with some distress.

   "Well, I won't be eating at home today, so I can go back to the factory early so I can have a rest." Zhao Guoyang rubbed his head and said a little tiredly.

  He Huifen has no control over her grown-up baby son, so she can only let him go.

  …

   It was almost four o'clock when Zhao Guoyang returned to the factory in the second shift in the afternoon.

   Chatted with the guard for a while, seeing that it was still early, and going back to the dormitory was not very interesting. Zhao Guoyang thought about it, and decided to go to the office, and take a look at the drawings of the fuel tank that the technical department was currently handing over to Hua Guoping for work.

  Hua Guoping already had a certain foundation in drawing. With Zhao Guoyang's instructions these days, he can easily handle even some complicated parts.

   With the help of such an experienced old comrade, Zhao Guoyang's work is much easier.

  After entering the factory, Zhao Guoyang was just about to go to the technical department, but he heard bursts of high-pitched conversations coming from the small office building and the factory director's office.

  From several different voices, Zhao Guoyang could tell that there should be three directors, Mu, Ma Jian, and Wang Youchang.

   What is the important thing that makes these three leaders come together for a meeting all weekend? Zhao Guoyang felt a little strange.

   Just as Zhao Guoyang was thinking about it secretly, Ma Jian came out to fetch water with a water bottle, and happened to see Zhao Guoyang below from upstairs.

"Hey, Guoyang, you're back today? That's great. Director Mu, Lao Wang, and I are thinking about you. Come on up!" Ma Jian stretched out half of his body and waved excitedly. .

   Hearing that the factory director Ma was out of tune, Zhao Guoyang was a little different.

  Walking towards the stairs, he raised his head and asked, "Director Ma, what's the matter? You have to work overtime today? But seeing your flushed face, it should be a good thing, right?"

   "Haha, it's a good thing, it's definitely a good thing? Come on, come up, let's talk!" Ma Jian waved vigorously.

  Following Ma Jian into the factory director's office, Zhao Guoyang saw Director Mu sitting in the middle, and Secretary Zhang and Director Wang Youchang next to him.

   "Haha, I really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here! Guoyang, you came at the right time!" Mu Aijun laughed when he saw Zhao Guoyang coming.

  Zhang Zhizhong and Wang Youchang also nodded again and again, agreeing with Director Mu's words very much.

  Zhao Guoyang was pushed to sit on a long bench by several factory leaders inexplicably, with a dazed expression on his face.

   "Haha, it seems that our little comrade Zhao is sometimes confused!" Zhang Zhizhong said with a smile.

   "Leaders, what's the matter?" Zhao Guoyang couldn't help asking.

   Mu Aijun stopped playing charades, waved his hands and said directly: "Guoyang, don't be nervous, it's a good thing! The thing is like this..."

  After some narration, Director Mu finally explained the matter clearly.

  It turns out that the State-owned Assets Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Finance has just approved a batch of funds, which will be used for corporate transformation in several key provinces across the country, and some state-owned enterprises with fairly good returns.

   In Guangling City, there are a total of two state-owned enterprises. Fortunately, they were named by the Ministry of Finance and received a large amount of support funds for enterprise transformation.

   Among them, there is Hongda Machinery Factory.

   After hearing the news, seeing the faint smile on Mu Aijun's face, Zhao Guoyang thought of the matter that Director Mu told him last time that the "old head" of a certain central ministry was supporting him.

   Needless to say, Director Mu should be behind the unexpected support funds this time.
