Chapter 883: Chapter 888: Planning Proposal Discussion
"Oh... I spaced out!" Lin Feng apologized with a smile to Zhu Xiuyue, took out his phone from his pocket, and glanced at it, discovering it was an anonymous call from an unknown number. Without much thought, Lin Feng answered it. Just as he asked who it was, he heard a man’s voice on the other end, deliberately lowered, "Boss?!"
Lin Feng’s expression paused, glancing apologetically at Zhu Xiuyue, and also lowered his voice, "Xiang Wang?!"
"Boss, is that really you?! You’re still alive?!" The man on the other end was a bit excited, seemingly unable to contain his joy, and the suddenly raised volume made Lin Feng’s eardrums tingle...
"Where are you now?" Lin Feng’s face also showed joy, casually asking.
"I’ve already booked a plane ticket!" Xiang Wang’s voice grew even more excited, "Originally, I booked a flight for three days from now. I’ll change it to a flight departing tonight! Boss, I’ll call you again when I board the plane!"
"Alright!" Lin Feng understood Xiang Wang’s urgency, saying with a slight smile.
"By the way, Boss, where have you been hiding for the past half year? Sister Qingyi and Brother Zhou have been looking for you..."
"My situation is complicated. I’ll explain everything when you see me. Zhou Yang and Sister Qingyi are both in Jiangzhou. Once you’re back, we’ll all meet for a drink, and everything will become clear!" Lin Feng knew Xiang Wang might have some doubts about his identity at this moment, as Lin Feng’s voice was somewhat different from before, even the most oblivious Xiang Wang would sense something was off.
"Okay!" Xiang Wang responded over the phone and quickly hung up...
After hanging up the call, Lin Feng revealed a knowing smile. Xiang Wang was also returning, and Zhou Yang and Sister Qingyi would probably be very happy to hear this news!
"Brother Feng? Whose call was that? You seem very happy. Don’t tell me another beauty called..." Zhu Xiuyue, seeing the happiness on Lin Feng’s face, couldn’t help but tease.
"Comrade Xiuyue, do you really see Brother Feng as such a superficial person?" Lin Feng glanced at Zhu Xiuyue with feigned annoyance, smiling, "It’s not just beauties that can make me happy..."
Zhu Xiuyue blinked, secretly thinking, it’s not only beauties that make Brother Feng happy, does he like men too?
Of course, this thought only flashed through Zhu Xiuyue’s mind. She didn’t dare gossip about Lin Feng in secret...
Since Xiang Wang hadn’t actually returned yet, Lin Feng decided to keep his business a secret from Zhu Xiuyue for now and planned to bring Zhou Yang up to speed later, letting him decide whether or not to tell Zhu Xiuyue...
"Xiuyue, tell me, how are you planning the opening ceremony?" Lin Feng looked at Zhu Xiuyue, suddenly curious.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s seemingly casual question, Zhu Xiuyue didn’t dare take it lightly. She knew Lin Feng had entrusted her with planning this opening ceremony, providing her with twenty million in cash. Combined with the three million cheque sent by Ning Fuxun, Zhu Xiuyue had a budget of a whopping twenty-three million. If the opening ceremony plan didn’t pass muster, no matter how well she knew Lin Feng, it wouldn’t excuse her.
So, Zhu Xiuyue answered Lin Feng’s question with almost interview-like caution.
"Brother Feng, regarding this opening ceremony, I have planned a budget of 13 million in my proposal. Out of this, 2 million is allocated for advertising and creating a buzz with major media, 5 million for opening ceremonies and inviting celebrities, 1 million for the banquet and reception, and another 5 million for member gifts and assorted VIP gold cards. Of course, these are just rough estimates as many details aren’t finalized yet, so there will be some fluctuation in the final costs... Here’s the detailed proposal for you to review, Brother Feng..."
As Lin Feng listened to Zhu Xiuyue’s explanation, he picked up the proposal Zhu Xiuyue handed over, glanced over it, and noticed that Zhu Xiuyue’s plan included advertising in no fewer than thirteen print media outlets, along with a thorough breakdown of TV and major online media advertising allocations and budgets, leaving nothing unclear. Naturally, he was quite impressed.
In the section about the opening ceremonies and celebrity invitations, Lin Feng saw the names of several candidate celebrities, like Zhong Xiaoliang, Tang Xiaoxian, Fan Xiaobing, Yao Xiaoming, all of whom were major stars...
"These celebrities’ appearance fees can’t be cheap, right?" Lin Feng slightly frowned. It wasn’t that he was reluctant to spend money, but rather he was unsure about the impact of spending so much to invite these superstars for a martial hall opening.
"They’re not cheap. The cheapest among these is about 800,000, while the most expensive is 1.5 million. I’ve been in contact with their respective agents to finalize things as soon as I can," Zhu Xiuyue said with a smile.
"Is it really necessary to invite so many celebrities?" Lin Feng couldn’t help but voice his doubts.
"It’s absolutely necessary..." Zhu Xiuyue said earnestly, looking into Lin Feng’s eyes, "Brother Feng, don’t you know we’re already in the inter age? According to the plan you shared with me, our new martial hall aims for more than just establishing a presence in Jiangzhou. Within a year, it has to become the most prominent martial hall in Jiangzhou, perhaps all over China by loudly making a first impression!"
"These popular stars, each with millions of followers tracking their every move, represent market potential and promotional capital!" Zhu Xiuyue spoke with the confidence of a queen, "I assure you, with these celebrities gracing our opening ceremony, our martial hall will likely become one of the hottest topics on the inter in a few weeks, maybe even within a month!"
Seeing Zhu Xiuyue so confident, Lin Feng, as an outsider, could only temporarily agree with her idea.
"However, we can add another plan to this..." Lin Feng suddenly suggested, looking at Zhu Xiuyue’s face.
"Brother Feng, please tell me!" Zhu Xiuyue looked at Lin Feng with curiosity, wondering what he could add.
"Since we can invite celebrities, why not also invite more martial artists from various sects to join the fun?" Lin Feng suggested with a smile, "Recently, a small town in West Xinjiang, China, held a Tianshan Martial Arts Assembly. They invited the sect leaders of seven major sects to attend. We can imitate them and invite some of these sect leaders to gather. After all, it wouldn’t cost much..."
As soon as Lin Feng said this, Zhu Xiuyue’s eyes lit up...
