Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 447: Chapter 447: The view from the top

The phoenix does not land in an unremarkable place. Naturally, those world-class brands would not advertise in an obscure publication.

Although Feng Yiping described that bright future again and again in front of the magazine's creative team and all the staff, including Bao Zhuoyuan himself, everyone quite appreciated the enthusiasm and dreams of this small business owner, but I'm afraid that no one except Gao Yiming believed that this dream would so quickly come true.

So when the head of the advertising department reported progress to Bao Zhuoyuan, he, who still had a good hearing, doubted for the first time whether he should go see an ear specialist, or if the specialist couldn't solve the problem, it was all hallucinations.

However, he then confirmed the news from the supervisor's equally happy but disbelieving face, and the cheers from the office outside.

Strangely, at the moment of confirmation, Bao Zhuoyuan remembered that he was not as excited as before, but was instead particularly relaxed.

So, at the moment, he was not at all surprised to see Feng Yiping, a little disappointed, and also reflected on whether he should learn from some old friends and copy the sutras. At his age, he actually still hadn't gained the composure of a young man.

Feng Yiping was nowhere near composed. He was the same as himself. Although he firmly believed that one day, those top European and American car brands would advertise in his magazine, he never expected it to be so soon.

The feeling of being convinced that you can win the girl and actually holding the goddess in your arms is of course different.

When saying the former sentence, the listener probably won't bother to refute it, and just let you laugh it off.

But when doing the latter thing, not only is it a special feeling to have a beautiful woman in your arms and smell her sweet fragrance, but also the various expressions of envy and jealousy on the faces of those who used to make fun of you will enhance this feeling of happiness to a new level.

So, under the watchful eyes of Bao Zhuoyuan and Li Ruiyuan, Feng Yiping, who had previously acted with aplomb, was still bright-eyed and clear-headed one moment, but the next, his face was filled with a smile, and the next, his mouth was almost split ear to ear.

A few minutes later, Feng Yiping's laughter finally stopped. Bao Zhuoyuan and Li Ruiyuan glanced at each other and thought to themselves, 'This young man really has a lot of energy!'

Feng Yiping wiped his mouth with the back of his hand regardless of his image – and it really did drip – and said, 'Just be happy for a while, Mr Bao. As long as it hasn't been finalised, we mustn't relax. You must pay more attention to this issue personally, and tell the advertising department, no, tell the whole company, that the main task these days is for everyone to work together as one and focus their efforts on getting these two companies to sign the contract.'

As the saying goes, '90% of the journey is completed at the 90th mile.' As long as the contract is signed, we must not relax. It's like finally holding the goddess you've longed for in your arms, but what then? You haven't even consummated the marriage yet.

Maybe the next moment, she'll throw herself into the arms of a rich and handsome guy next to her. No, that's not the saddest part. The saddest part is that the next moment, she'll throw herself into the arms of someone who looks short, ugly, and frustrated.

'Tell the advertising department that it's only the beginning and it's far from time to relax.' This is a crucial and important issue. Although Feng Yiping knows that Bao Zhuoyuan would also give the same advice, he still gave the same piece of advice.

If he hadn't been too busy to personally manage the magazine, he would have brought the advertising department in to give them a piece of his mind.

'Yes, I have told them the same thing more than once. And, Yiping, not only have the subscription and advertising numbers improved, but it has also become easier to get articles. Recently, the editorial department has received quite a few articles, from all over the world, including some from well-known experts and professors.'

'It's not hard to imagine. A magazine platform that is valued by top companies from all over the world will definitely attract contributions from those experts,' Feng Yiping said.

These experts and professors, whether they are full or half-full of knowledge, still have some insight, and they are not bad at saying flattering things. 'However, the editorial department should not be complacent. We can only relax when we regularly receive manuscripts from Nobel laureates,'

'Moreover, all of this is predicated on the popularity and popularity of our magazine, which is determined by the quality of the articles we publish. Now that there has finally been some progress, the editorial department must be more demanding.

Also, I still have to read the selected articles. Do you, as editor-in-chief, have a problem with that?

It is precisely because of the correct prediction of a series of things that the Frontier magazine has finally gained the attention and a certain degree of importance of the target customers. Then Feng Yiping of course has to ensure the accuracy of his magazine's views on some major events.

For example, the US presidential election is now in full swing. Al Gore and George W. Bush have respectively consolidated their positions as the frontrunners for the Democratic and Republican parties. The next US president will be elected from among them. If the magazine publishes several articles arguing that Al Gore will definitely win, won't that undermine the authority of Frontier magazine? Therefore, Feng Yiping will not give up the final right to review the articles.

'Why? If you let go, we'll really have no idea what to do,' Bao Zhuoyuan said with a smile.

Since the magazine's inception, Feng Yiping has not cared about trivial matters, but when it comes to important matters, he has always insisted on his views and opinions, and as it turns out, he has been right. Therefore, in the magazine, his boss, who doesn't show his face much, has already established a high level of authority, and Bao Zhuoyuan is also convinced.

At dinner, Zheng Jiayi looked at the three of them, all of them with excited faces, and asked, 'What are you so happy about?'

'Nothing, it's just that our magazine has taken a big step on the road to becoming a world-class magazine,' Feng Yiping said with a smile.

Although Zheng Jiayi couldn't quite understand their excitement, she still raised her glass in a tactful manner to congratulate them.

'Mr. Bao, aren't you coming with us to the top of the mountain?' Feng Yiping pulled Bao Zhuoyuan, who had arranged for a car and was ready to leave, in front of the restaurant.

'Going to the top of the mountain to enjoy the breeze and the night view is a privilege for young people like you. An old man like me doesn't want to join in the fun.'

'What about you, Mr Li?' Feng Yiping turned to Li Ruiyuan.

'I've been to the top of the mountain so many times that I've lost count. I've made a date with my wife to go to the movies. You take Zheng and enjoy the view.'

After they had both left, Zheng Jiayi said coldly, 'What, don't you want to go out with me?'

'Of course not, beautiful lady. Can't you see that I was just being polite? Please!' Feng Yiping opened the car door for her very gentlemanly.

Feng Yiping had been to the Peak several times. There is no scenery in familiar places. Now that he looks again, it's just so-so.

Zheng Jiayi was different. She was captivated by the dazzling lights of the city below. 'It's so beautiful!' she exclaimed, and then shivered and hugged her arms close.

She was still wearing the same dress as before, and had just thrown a shawl over her shoulders when they came out. The mountain breeze was quite chilly.

Feng Yiping sighed and took off his jacket to give it to her. 'I told you to bring an extra jacket,'

'You think I'm like you, so afraid of the cold,' after all, they were classmates, and they were still in the front and back rows. Feng Yiping's fear of the cold was also well known to Zheng Jiayi. However, she wrapped the clothes that carried Feng Yiping's body temperature and smell, and said, 'Thank you!'

Don't you know that sometimes girls deliberately wear thin clothes for just such moments? Stupid goose!

'I say, old schoolmate, on such a beautiful day, don't you think you should find someone to share it with? It's time to choose someone from the ranks of your suitors behind you and cultivate them properly. You will regret it if you don't have a relationship in college.'

'I think it's fine just the way it is,' Zheng Jiayi said, giving Feng Yiping a cold stare, and emphasising the word "just" in her tone of voice.
