Chapter 120 The mighty boss
Would you not be able to afford tickets?
Savage really wants to ask, is it 5 billion euros per ticket, including the opening and closing ceremony dinner?
However, in this case, he could only imagine it in his heart.
So, you have any opinions on the expenses for participating in the advertising festival?
He stroked the aura that was a little unpleasant and said sincerely, "Mr. Feng, you are a VIP guest of our Advertising Festival. It is our honor to be able to attend the Advertising Festival and attend the opening and closing ceremony. Of course, you don't need tickets."
"I really don't want to attend, but these people will attend. Just invite them," Feng Yiping said, pointing to the people at the table.
Sandberg and the others exchanged glances silently. The boss was really concerned about the expenses this time.
Savage finally got a little calmer, but suddenly he was a little unhappy. You are such a well-known super rich man who actually made a special mention of these tickets. Are you embarrassed?
Besides, although the others at the table are very good, they are not the founders, they are just executives. If all the executives attending the conference are exempt from tickets, will we all drink the northwest wind?
"Mr. Feng, we admit that during the advertising festival, the expenses of food, accommodation and transportation have indeed increased considerably. As the organizer, we are also very annoyed, and we have repeatedly communicated with the government and related associations," he said.
"It's just that you know that France is a country with a market economy, and relevant practitioners have the right to adjust the price of their services based on supply and demand,"
“This is also a common problem, including during the film festival last month, and that’s the same,”
"We also want to change this situation, but it's really hard for us to do it," he spread his hands helplessly.
Feng Yiping shook his head, "Speaking of it, this is also a rare aspect of the Advertising Festival that has kept pace with the times over the years. Whether it is the transportation from the airport to here, or the food and accommodation here, it is always keeping up with the pulse of the times, and the rise is getting higher and higher."
"Chairman Savage, you're right. This is a market economy country. Oh, it seems that many countries are?" He asked again.
Boss, he is so naughty, Zuckerberg said to himself.
"So, according to the principle of the market economy, you and your advertising festival should be a big customer in Cannes, right?"
"In the past ten days, it has brought more than 10,000 high-end and elite people to Cannes. How many job opportunities can this bring to Cannes, a small city with a population of just over 70,000, and how much consumption can it bring? "
"And the Advertising Festival has been held here since 1977, and how many GDP has been created for Cannes in total?"
"So for Cannes, the Advertising Festival is naturally his big customer. Does such a big customer have no bargaining power?"
"For example, the price increase can be raised, but can we set an upper limit? Come from Nice Airport, the maximum taxi limit is 60 euros, or 80 euros? Hotels can only be twice the price at most? Some designated restaurants, fixed menus, the maximum per capita is 20 or 30 euros?"
"We believe in Savage's ethics and your team. However, I think there must be some gossip in your ears. Some companies that attended the conference guess that the Advertising Festival Organizing Committee can also gain some profit from this high consumption,"
What can Savage say? "We have heard similar remarks, and we are helpless. In order to solve this problem, we have been negotiating every year, but there has been no progress."
In fact, the problem of spending too much, such as Publicis, PP, etc., has been mentioned more than once.
No one will feel good if you spend several times or even a high price that is not capped to enjoy services that are no different from usual.
If Savage came to the meeting himself, he would have thought this way.
Especially in the years of economic downturn, opinions on this aspect will be more and more concentrated.
But they did do their best.
"Don't we want everyone to spend less and more professionals to participate in the advertising festival?"
For them, this is also a very realistic problem.
A company comes to participate in the advertising festival. Every work submitted by the company needs to be given to the advertising festival more than 400 to 1,000 euros. The flight ticket for one person is, plus the 8-day spending of the advertising festival, is at least 10,000 euros.
You can't just send one person here, that is, you can participate once, that is, you don't hold any activities, and you will often spend 30,000 to 50,000 euros. This is a considerable expense for many companies.
"No, I think you haven't done your best," said Feng Yiping. "In my opinion, there are too many methods to use,"
"I hope to hear it clearly," Savage and his men immediately sat upright.
Although what Feng Yiping said was not very pleasant, it was indeed true.
And if this problem can be solved and more companies can be attracted to the conference, it will be their success.
"Cannes, and many nearby cities, are a tourist city, that is, the related service industry is actually supported by foreign tourists, so I can give you a solution to this problem now."
"Pierre," he called the name of the head of the French company, but Pierre would not be there, "Zach, I want to add a comment section to our Facebook as soon as possible,"
"It should be faster to promote the comment section below nextdoor in Europe," Zuckerberg said.
"Then let them do it immediately, just take this opportunity to let everyone make frank comments on the website,"
"I would like to see if other tourists, if they see all the restaurants and hotels in Cannes on the website, they will raise prices at will. How much more people will like to see here? How many people will want to come here for vacation,"
"There are not only one Cannes in the city near the Costa del Azure, isn't it?"
Savage glanced at several of his men and said that this method was something I had never thought of before.
Doing this will definitely have a boost.
No matter how awesome it is, a tourist city like Cannes will definitely pay attention to its reputation.
In particular, if the stars who participate in the film festival have a large number of fans also complain about the various chaos in Cannes during the film festival on the review website, the consequences will be very beautiful.
"There is another way. After the iPhone is released, I think the Advertising Festival can develop an app that can be applied on iPhone, including other smartphones in the future. Those who attend the conference can log in to this app to understand the conference arrangements and evaluate the various work of the Advertising Festival..."
"All registrations, ticket purchases and other services for the Advertising Festival can of course be integrated into this app. Savage, what do you think?"
"If you can't develop related software, you can entrust us to develop it. The price is also very simple. Just waive our future ticket fees."
"Mr. Feng, your suggestions are indeed very good, and they have given us great inspiration. We will implement some of them as soon as possible," said Savage.
It’s just that your request is too unrealistic and too loud to speak.
"We sincerely hope that this advertising festival will satisfy you and your company. On behalf of the advertising festival, I once again invite you to attend the opening dinner. We also look forward to you and the guests sharing your wonderful views,"
He felt that it was really time to leave.
Publicis, who had already bullied the shop, noticed the importance of the Advertising Festival on high-tech companies and fully understood Feng Yiping's relevant views on the Advertising Festival.
Enough is already.
If you stay there, I don’t know what difficult questions you will encounter.
"I'm sure I won't attend," said Feng Yiping. He wanted Zuckerberg, Sandberg and others to further increase their popularity, "but they are all happy to participate," he said.
"At this point," Feng Yiping said again.
Hearing this familiar sentence, Savage's heart suddenly rose up again.
He knew very well that following this sentence, it must be no good problem.
"What award do you and the Advertising Festival plan to award them?" Feng Yiping said.
Savage sighed in his heart, I knew, it was true
But are you sure, is it really good to talk about this issue in a blunt way?
"You can't be, aren't you going to present them with an award?" Feng Yiping said again.
He is very much like you who dares to do this, we will leave immediately and will not participate in this advertising festival next time.
Seeing the chairman of the advertising festival, he was always at a disadvantage in front of Feng Yiping and had no power to resist, Xiao Zha wanted to applaud and applaud, the boss was mighty!
The sea breeze blew gently, and the yacht next to the pier rose and fell gently with the waves. The waves caused by the waves hit the pier, making a crisp "swinging" sound, one after another.
At this time, Savage's heart was the same as the smell of the sea.
Chapter completed!
