"Perhaps this time, we can gain unexpected benefits, just like we did with China South TV."
Yu Zhou naturally understood what a great opportunity this was for their [San Pi Ma] company.
However, while it was indeed a great opportunity, whether it could ultimately materialize and yield the corresponding benefits was something that would have to be negotiated bit by bit.
Yu Zhou didn't believe this negotiation would go smoothly, because he was very clear in his heart that if he did this, many people would accuse him of price gouging.
At that point, even if he didn't become a public enemy of the industry, the pressure would be immense.
Yu Zhou knew very well what kind of person could withstand such immense pressure. The reason why Nan Su TV approached him was because his primary business base was not in Nan Su.
Only under these circumstances would the impact on [San Pi Ma] company be significantly reduced.
Otherwise, if it were a local company, even if it were very successful, facing those large and giant enterprises, they would likely be too afraid to agree, wouldn't they?
They had calculated that Yu Zhou, as a businessman whose primary base was in another province, would not find it impossible to agree to their request.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have proactively invited [San Pi Ma] company, nor would they have come up with an excuse like an internal promotional meeting.
Yes, it was an excuse, at least that's what they had clarified to Yu Zhou now.
They simply wanted to have a good discussion with [San Pi Ma] company, and that's why they arranged this so-called promotional meeting.
The real promotional meeting would only start in half a month, but they hadn't expected the boss of [San Pi Ma] company to show up this time. This made them a little nervous, and as they talked, they revealed the truth.
"So that's how it is! No wonder, I thought to myself, why hasn't even a single businessman appeared at this promotional meeting. So that's the reason."
After learning the truth, a hint of helplessness flickered across Yu Zhou's face.
Was this considered deceiving him?
If one were to be precise, it wasn't.
After all, this promotional meeting was genuinely planned to happen, just not now, but in half a month.
And what they needed to discuss now was precisely the matters related to the promotional meeting in half a month.
So, could one say they were deceiving him? If they really wanted to argue, this was genuine sincerity.
"We didn't want to arrange this for you earlier, but the current predicament of the entire Nan Su TV has forced us to do so!"
"Mr. Yu, I won't make any more empty promises. If you agree to this matter, your [San Pi Ma] company will become our Nan Su TV's most intimate strategic partner, and we will sign a contract."
"We guarantee that as long as you have the need, a slot in the prime time will definitely be reserved for you!"
"Of course, we will sign this slot with you at market price, but the slot itself will absolutely be reserved for you."
Director Xing was very proactive, especially at this crucial moment, speaking with great emotion, which made Yu Zhou somewhat incredulous.
For any TV station, especially a provincial-level TV station, prime-time advertising slots were extremely precious.
For just one such slot, many companies and enterprises would fight tooth and nail to get it.
The prices offered would inevitably be higher than the market price.
It was precisely because of this that when Director Xing mentioned prime-time advertising, and at market price no less, Yu Zhou's heart began to rejoice. This was undoubtedly a heaven-sent opportunity.
Especially when he needed to promote new products.
First, it was Ad Calcium Milk, and then various snack products. None of these could gain widespread recognition without advertising.
In an era when TV stations had not yet gone national, each provincial-level TV station had its own fixed viewership base.
It was completely unlike the future, where television stations gradually declined, and even lost most of their viewers within their own provinces.
Television media and internet media were the mainstream of future development.
Naturally, they had also become an indispensable investment for Yu Zhou's side at present.
Of course, whether a cooperation would ultimately be established was not something he could control at the moment. Securing the best preferential terms and a strategic cooperation agreement would naturally be the best outcome.
If he couldn't get it, or if Yu Zhou felt that the investment and return were not proportional, he would still hesitate and refuse without hesitation.
After all, Nan Su TV was still a TV station from another province. In his words, if the cooperation didn't work out, he would just leave. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
In a few years, when major provincial satellite TV stations started to go national, it wouldn't be unacceptable to have all of [San Pi Ma]'s various brands go beyond a single region and truly face the entire country.
Yu Zhou lacked time, but he didn't lack the time to develop beverage brands.
To him, while the various snack and beverage brands of [San Pi Ma] company were very important, they were ultimately less important than his own career.
Was this his career? As long as he hadn't given up, or at least hadn't withdrawn on a large scale, this was indeed Yu Zhou's career. However, he had long intended to withdraw and enter the electronic products industry, which he liked more and was more familiar with.
That was his true passion and career.
Only such a career could truly mobilize all of Yu Zhou's enthusiasm.
"Since it's a cooperation, we naturally hope for success. Therefore, our sincerity is sufficient. Mr. Yu, are you willing or not?"
Seeing that Yu Zhou remained silent, Director Xing became somewhat restless.
He had already offered his terms, so why was Yu Zhou still so indifferent?
If it continued like this, no matter how much he spoke, it would be useless.
The reason Yu Zhou hadn't said anything was because he was thinking.
Should he agree to this so-called strategic partnership?
On the surface, if he agreed, there would be little loss, and even countless benefits.
However, could the situation really be calculated as they described?
Clearly, he had his own considerations.
There was indeed no apparent loss, but that didn't mean there was absolutely no loss at all.
Once those large enterprises started to resent him, even if his company developed exceptionally well, entering the mainstream would become a luxury.
Indeed, Yu Zhou was currently in the fast-moving consumer goods industry, and there was no direct connection with these state-owned enterprises.
However, he couldn't be in the fast-moving consumer goods industry forever.
This was very important and realistic, and it was something Yu Zhou needed to consider at this moment.
