Chapter 345 - Promotion Measures

On the way back, Old Li and Chen Yang chatted all along.

“Yang Zi, logically speaking, your medical skills should be quite advanced.

Why not consider working in a big hospital and getting a position there?

Instead, you’ve chosen to collaborate with President Li on medicinal cuisine?”

Old Li asked curiously.

As a retired hospital official, Old Li naturally thought of maximizing Chen Yang’s potential by getting him into the hospital.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang laughed, looked out the window, and said, “I’m not suited for that kind of life.

I prefer to have my own small clinic, earn some money, and live comfortably.”

Chen Yang spoke the truth.

Originally, as a medical school graduate, he could have interned and eventually been employed at a hospital.

But he wasn’t comfortable with that life, plus the people in and around Liuhetun Village needed a doctor, so he returned to Liuhetun Village.

Old Li wanted to talk to Chen Yang about his connections and the possibility of introducing him to a big hospital.

But after hearing what Chen Yang had said, he didn’t continue.

“Everyone has their own choices.”

Old Li smiled indifferently.

Before long, the car stopped in front of Skyline.

Before getting out of the car, Chen Yang and Old Li exchanged contact information.

“Old Li, if you gather the necessary items, call me anytime, and I’ll come over to treat you,” Chen Yang said.

Old Li’s face showed gratitude, “Thank you, Yang Zi.

I’ll gather them as quickly as possible.”

“Mhm, bye.”

Chen Yang nodded, then turned and entered Skyline.

Old Li watched Chen Yang enter the hotel and then drove away.

On the ride back, he couldn’t wait to make calls, reaching out to his connections and to his students spread across national hospitals, aiming to quickly gather the items Chen Yang needed.

Arriving back at Skyline, Chen Yang didn’t dwell on it.

He headed straight for Li Han’s office.

Li Han was sitting at her desk, tapping the keyboard, seemingly crafting some sort of plan.

She seemed surprised to see Chen Yang come in.

“Why are you back so soon?

Have you already completed the treatment?” Li Han stood up and asked.

“How could that be.”

Chen Yang said with a laugh and then naturally sat down on the office sofa.

“Old Li’s spouse has been in a coma for a long time.

To wake her up, we need many rare medicinal ingredients, which can’t be gathered in a short time.

So I returned, and when Old Li gathers everything, I’ll go and treat her,” explained Chen Yang.

“I see.”

Li Han walked over from the desk and sat next to Chen Yang.

As Li Han sat down, she brought a faint fragrance, very pleasant to the smell.

Chen Yang secretly took a deep breath.

“By the way, you mentioned before leaving that you wanted to talk to me about the medicinal cuisine.

Is there a problem?” Li Han brought up the topic of medicinal cuisine after sitting down.

That was one of the reasons why Chen Yang came to see Li Han today.

“I just wanted to ask, with the current pace, how much profit can I expect in a month?”

“I’m a million away from my ten-million target.

If the medicinal cuisine can’t earn me a million in a month, I need to start thinking of another way,” Chen Yang revealed his thoughts.

“I see.”

Li Han nodded slightly, then pondered seriously.

After mentally analyzing and calculating the recent profits from the medicinal cuisine, she said, “If things go as expected, you could make about half a million.

Earning a million, though, would be quite difficult.”

At this, Chen Yang’s brow furrowed.

A hint of disappointment crossed his mind; it looked like he needed to find a new project to make money.

However, Li Han suddenly added something else at this moment.

“What I’m saying is based on the current turnover, but we have just started, and it’s hard to say whether things will become even more popular and make more money.

This is uncertain, too.

It’s also possible that the popularity of the medicinal cuisine will fade quickly, and we might not even make 500,000 yuan.”

Li Han gave a brief introduction.

It had been just a few days since they launched the medicinal cuisine, and the daily turnover and customer base were still unstable.

Li Han couldn’t provide any concrete data.

“Alright.”

After listening to Li Han, Chen Yang still felt very uncertain, so he asked, “Then do you have any ways to make our medicinal cuisine a signature brand, become popular, and increase the footfall?”

Li Han fell silent for a moment after hearing this question, and it took him several minutes to reply.

“If we want to make our medicinal cuisine popular, the best way is to advertise, then build a good reputation, and have customers bring in more customers.

That would rapidly increase the footfall.”

Li Han finished seriously, and then his expression turned somewhat somber as he said, “However, finding someone to advertise is a problem.”

“Indeed, finding an advertising partner on short notice to get an endorsement is definitely unrealistic, and who would come to endorse medicinal cuisine?”

Chen Yang had felt a surge of excitement when he saw Li Han come up with an idea.

Now his spirits deflated, just like Li Han’s.

Afterwards, neither of them spoke and just sat quietly on the sofa.

After sitting for about ten minutes or so, Li Han suddenly became excited.

“Ah!

I just thought of an excellent spokesperson!”

Li Han turned to face Chen Yang excitedly,

Chen Yang turned his head and met Li Han’s gaze, “Who?”

“The very Li Lao we were just talking about!”

Li Han said.

“Li Lao?”

Chen Yang was full of disbelief.

“Yes, Li Lao.”

Li Han nodded, and then explained at a moderate pace, “You see, Li Lao is a retired researcher from the provincial hospital.

His status in the field of medicine is definitely authoritative!”

“And his position in our county’s medical field is certainly that of a highly respected senior.

If we could get him to endorse our medicinal cuisine, then get the hospital behind us as well, wouldn’t that be absolutely explosive?”

Li Han was proving himself to be a business genius, having come up with an excellent marketing strategy in just over ten minutes.

To have Li Lao as the spokesperson for their medicinal cuisine.

After hearing Li Han’s explanation, Chen Yang also couldn’t help but be wide-eyed with excitement.

“That’s right, with Li Lao’s status as a medical researcher, if he gives our medicinal cuisine a good evaluation, it will definitely create a massive influx of customers!”

Chen Yang was excited, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Li Han felt the same.

But just as both men had their bout of excitement, a problem also emerged.

As it stood, Chen Yang and Li Han had only just made contact with Li Lao.

Although Chen Yang promised to cure Li Lao’s wife, the treatment wasn’t successful yet, was it?

Would it be appropriate to ask for his help before succeeding in the treatment?

Both of them had this concern, but after much thought, they still couldn’t come up with a better plan.

To make the medicinal cuisine popular, having Li Lao as a spokesperson seemed like the best strategy.

“Let’s give it a try.

We won’t ask Li Lao to endorse without compensation; we can offer him an endorsement fee and a share of the profits.”

After a moment of silence, Li Han still encouraged Chen Yang to give it a shot with Li Lao, as it was the only option they had at the moment.

After some serious consideration, Chen Yang decided to swallow his pride and ask, for the sake of ten million.

“Alright, I’ll communicate with Li Lao.”

Chen Yang nodded in agreement, then took out his cell phone and dialed Li Lao’s number.

While they were downstairs, Chen Yang had gotten Li Lao’s phone number.

When Chen Yang called, Li Lao was already on another call.

Hearing that Li Lao was busy on the phone, Chen Yang didn’t continue calling but waited for Li Lao to get back to him.
