Seeing Bai Ye hurriedly change his words, Kato Megumi smiled slightly and nodded.
"Every city, every region, and even every commercial street can hold a summer festival, and because the regions are different, the time of holding the summer festival is also different."
"Among them, there is a group of people who saw the business opportunity."
Bai Ye opened the plan and pointed to the words marked in black.
Reward progress report: 69 (3914/10000), 3 updates are owed, this is a normal update.
Thanks to [Dian Niang I Hate You] for the 3 spicy strips.
Chapter 537: Just for the Important People
Mobile vendors.
This is Bai Ye’s answer.
"I've been wondering how to convert Shiyu's fame into attendance at the book signing event. Although there are many convenience stores promoting her, they're like inconspicuous shells on the beach. The conversion rate is pitifully low."
Kato Megumi nodded and said:
"Bai Ye-jun, do you want the itinerant vendors to help you?"
"Yes."
"However, although mobile vendors are more effective than convenience stores in promoting their products through their unique features, I'm still not optimistic about their conversion rate. People still treat it as a passing fad."
"That's the principle, but we need to consider everything comprehensively."
Bai Ye opened the map on his phone, and a red dot marked on the map attracted everyone's attention.
"Shiyu, do you know where this is?"
"Kazama Square," Shiyu answered immediately, as this was the location for her book signing event on Saturday. "Don't underestimate me. Didn't we just pass by here on the way?"
Bai Ye smiled and pointed his finger to the side.
"What about here?"
"This..." Shiyu frowned and looked at the commercial street next to the square in confusion.
It’s not that she doesn’t know where this place is; it’s clearly marked on the map. She just doesn’t understand what Bai Ye is trying to say.
"This is one of the locations for the summer festival." Tanakado announced the answer, and when he looked up at Bai Ye, his eyes clearly understood what his plan was.
There was a flash of realization in Kato Megumi and Shiwa's eyes, but only Eriri had a question mark on her face.
"It's just a matter of time. Does it really matter?"
Shiyu patted her shoulder helplessly.
"I'm really worried that the Sawamura family's business will be swindled away by others if it falls into your hands in the future."
"Hey——!" Ying Lili was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
Kato Megumi ignored the two people who were fighting and told them about Bai Ye's plan.
"Mobile vendors will be setting up stalls at the summer festival. Bai Yejun wants them to promote 'Love Metronome' and convert the visitors into sales revenue for the book signing?"
"Almost there, but still a little short." Bai Ye showed a gap between his fingers.
"The universe at your fingertips?"
"I'm not kidding, it was just a little bit off."
Bai Ye spread out his palms and explained with pictures and text:
"Just like the four basic elements of writing a diary: time, place, people, and events, none of them can be missing. We also need to clarify the dates of the summer festival and the book signing event based on the principle of analyzing each case on a case-by-case basis."
"Kazama Plaza is located between Tokyo and Shinjuku. The event is held on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Specifically, it starts near dusk on Friday afternoons and begins at 3:30 PM on Saturdays, which is standard afternoon tea time."
"As for the book signing event's start time, if I remember correctly it was at 12 noon. Although people tend to forget things that just slipped by, it's not like they would forget everything in just one night."
Shiyu nodded.
The book signing session will start at 12 noon and last until 6 pm.
"So... the timing doesn't quite match?"
"That's right, but I'm more concerned about another issue."
Bai Ye zoomed out the map again and saw two small red dots marked on it.
"There are two other places holding summer festivals or related events this week. If the mobile vendors are too scattered, it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect."
Bai Ye looked at Tanakado who seemed to be lost in thought, and the latter met his gaze.
"If Mr. Xiao wants help from street vendors, he should go to them instead of me. As for their contact information, I think you can get it by just asking any merchant on the commercial street."
"That's right." Bai Ye admitted.
"And this plan." Tanakado flipped open the last page. "You said the budget was 200 million yen, but here's only a detailed plan for 180 million yen. Where's the other 20 yen?"
"it's here."
Bai Ye opened her bag, took out 20 yuan in an envelope, placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Tanakado.
"I want to spend 20 yuan to buy your words."
Bai Ye knew very well what he was doing, and after seeing the summer festival held on Wednesdays and Thursdays in Tanaka Commercial Street, he became more determined.
Tanaka Commercial Street is an old commercial street. It cannot compare with the new commercial street next to the station in terms of popularity, number of businesses and customer flow.
When he arrived, he saw that the New Commercial Street did not hold a summer festival, but the Tanaka Commercial Street did, and even the areas for mobile vendors had been divided.
Mobile vendors are profit-seeking by nature and will go wherever there is a lot of customer traffic.
He absolutely didn't believe that there was no work of Tanakado. He thought that the Tanaka store was often closed last week, and there must be reasons for itinerant vendors.
Bai Ye had no intention of finding out the reason why Tanakado gave up holding the summer festival in the new commercial street, but he analyzed that Tanakado had a lot of prestige among mobile vendors.
"My words are worth 20 yuan? This is incredible."
"It's worth it! Absolutely worth it!" Bai Ye couldn't help but slam his hands on the table, suppressing his excitement. "You are the key to solving the problem. Just one word from you, and all the street vendors will gather in Fengjian Square to set up stalls."
"The summer festival brings in visitors, the promotion from the mobile vendors, and the popularity of the book signing event—all three complement each other. With the right timing, location, and people, the book signing event is bound to be a success! Draw 200, 500, or even 1000 people is a piece of cake!"
Bai Ye spoke so bluntly that even Eriri understood.
"Why didn't you use such a good idea before, and visit every convenience store one by one?"
"Do you believe me when I say I just came up with this idea last Saturday?"
Yinglili "..."
Bai Ye waved his hand indifferently.
"I'm not a god with incredible wisdom. If I had thought of the best solution from the beginning, I might have been worth hundreds of millions. Don't worry, don't worry~"
Kato Megumi and Shiwa's eyes were full of admiration.
"It's such a meticulous plan. I can't believe you, Xiaobai-kun, came up with it in just one night."
"Thank you so much~"
"Yeah, I've learned a lot. It's true that only a well-planned plan with the right timing, location, and people can avoid failure."
"Uh...why do I feel like you're talking about something else, Xiaohui?"
After the commotion, Bai Ye looked at Tanakado again, his eyes full of confidence.
"What do you think, Mr. Tanaka? Our cooperation will overcome all difficulties and bring us both fame and fortune."
Tanakado spread his hands behind him, and Miss Nana immediately placed a pen on them, looking at Bai Ye with admiration in her eyes no longer hiding.
"The young are truly formidable. Mrs. Sawamura is right."
He signed the plan and returned two copies to Bai Ye.
"Leave the itinerant vendors to me. You probably have something else you need to do, right?"
"Thank you for your support." Bai Ye handed the plan to Kato Megumi, who put it carefully into her bag as if it were a treasure.
"It's just for the important people."
Reward progress report: 69 (5790/10000), 3 updates are owed, this is a normal update.
Thanks to [Saang Prison] for the salted fish spikes and 3 spicy strips, [hymin] for the spicy strips, [Dian Niang I Hate You] for the 3 spicy strips, and [Ruo Zhi Ruo Chu] for the salted fish spikes.
Chapter 538 A true warrior dares to refuse the benefits that are at his fingertips
The big thing was over, and Bai Ye's heart was relieved a little. A long-lost smile bloomed on his face, like a warm current flowing through the girls' hearts, slightly reddening their cheeks.
Shiyu stretched lazily, her expression as calm as a noble long-haired cat sitting on a mountain of cat cans, the only thing missing was the word "comfortable" written on her face.
"I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. The sun is warm on my body~"
"It's okay now." Seeing that her bickering rivals got the advantage, Ying Lili subconsciously felt unhappy.
"It's perfect, not too hot and not too sunny, just right for a walk outside~"
……
Bai Ye and his group stayed in Tanaka House for more than an hour. When they came out, it was almost 12 noon. After their tense nerves relaxed, everyone's stomachs began to growl.
Bai Ye had already asked Machida Yuanzi to prepare promotional posters for mobile vendors, as well as the wooden shelves, which were now piled in the warehouse for immediate use.
"There's nothing else to do, shall we go have lunch first?"
"Xiao Baijun also likes to open champagne at halftime?"
What happened at the Tanaka store was like a dream. Shiyu still has a feeling of floating in the clouds. She couldn't believe that the problem of the number of people attending the book signing event was solved like this. The smile on her face made it clear to anyone that she was in a good mood.
"Lunch is my treat, what do you want to eat?"
Kato Megumi took in everyone's expressions and paid more attention to Shiyu's actions.
"Kasumigaoka-senpai has changed."
"where?"
"He usually keeps a serious face when he's out, but today he was smiling so brightly that passersby were stunned."
"I'm just stunned. I'm not showing it to them anyway. I should exercise my facial muscles first. I'll have to fake a smile all afternoon on Saturday, and then I'll get cramps."
Although she would usually joke with everyone on the street, she would maintain the calm expression she had at school, and would never hold Bai Ye's hand like a little bird in front of passers-by, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
Bai Ye didn't push her hand away. It would have been too rude to spoil her fun, even though his calf was hurt by Ying Lili's subtle kick.
"It seems that you are in a really good mood, Shiyu."
"That's what I said~" Shiyu gave him a wink, "Didn't we just say we were going to the izakaya for lunch? Let's go quickly, the chances of me treating you are few and far between."
"Kasumigaoka, do you still have money?"
"I'd be happy to do that if you'd pay for it yourself."
Eriri originally wanted to make a joke about Kasumigaoka's previous stinginess, but when she realized that this was an opportunity to rip her off, she immediately stopped complaining and pointed ahead with full momentum.
"Looks like I have to teach you, Kasumigaoka, an unforgettable lesson!"
"I hope so." Shiyu shrugged. "I also hope that your impression of Xiaobai-kun hasn't changed. I feel like the cost of feeding you is getting higher and higher~"
Eriri was a little reserved for a moment, glanced at Bai Ye, and scratched her twintails, "I...I didn't eat too much, okay."
"Indeed, the rich have their own way of raising their children, and the poor have their own way of raising their children. A seafood feast can fill you up just as much as plain rice. How about I treat you to all-you-can-eat plain rice today?"
"Hello--!"
When people think of izakayas, they often associate night, alcohol, and older men with the idea that minors are prohibited from entering.
However, this is not the case. As long as minors do not drink alcohol, how could businesses refuse a large number of underage customers?
It’s an indisputable fact that there are fewer dishes during the day than at night.
"Welcome...yo! Isn't this Mr. Xiao from across the street? Are you so interested in having dinner with your employees?"
As soon as he entered the door, Bai Ye was greeted with "warm hospitality" by the izakaya owner, with particular emphasis on the word "employees".
"Just kidding, Mr. Yamada. The summer festival still needs your support."
"Oh! Sure, sure. If President Tanaka asks, we will definitely help!"
"Thank you."
The girls found a seat by the side and sat down. Shiyu took out a 1 yuan bill from her wallet and put it on the table.
"This is lunch money. If it's enough, eat. If it's not enough, eat yourself."
