Chapter 774: A chance encounter in Japan
Convenience store coffee has already appeared in the market.
Not only Rosen, FamilyMart, etc., 7-eleven also has its own coffee brand, but it is launched in Japan as a new brand.
The origin was that Park Ji-hoon accidentally saw coffee in convenience store and suddenly had an idea, wanting to use this method to promote the two games of "Jilong Mystery" and "clashclas".
I don’t have such conditions, so I chose to cooperate with 7-eleven.
At first, his original intention was to promote the game, and he didn't care much about this kind of competition. In order to attract customers, he chose the most direct method - low price!
The same 150 yen can buy 180 ml of freshly brewed coffee in the whole family, 150 ml of ok convenience stores, and 235 ml of 7-eleven! The packaging, cups, machines, etc. are printed with cartoon characters in the mobile games "Clashclas" and "Zhilong Mystery City" - if you choose to advertise in all convenience stores under 7-eleven, the price is too high and the effect may not be better.
7-eleven did not pay much attention to this new brand, because the popularity of "clashclarans" and "Zhilong Mystery" can bring more customers to its own company, so it agreed to cooperate.
However, no one expected that this business that had already existed had an astonishing result after joining the mobile game promotion factor!
With a series of promotional methods, the revenue of "clashclas" and "Smart Dragon Mystery" has increased significantly! Similarly, 7-eleven found that this business has rapidly improved the operating performance of Japan's 7-eleven, and even promoted the profits of parent company ven&iholdings, which also showed a slight increase!
Perhaps it is because of the low price, or perhaps because of its cooperation with two most popular mobile games, although major companies, including 7-eleven, have carefully analyzed the reasons for the sudden outbreak of this business, no one can give an accurate answer.
So, some people tried to copy this pattern.
This is why Luo Sen, FamilyMart and other convenience stores strongly invite Park Ji-hoon.
7-eleven's marketing director personally met with Park Ji-hoon and negotiated, on the one hand, it was also to stabilize the cooperation between the two sides. At the same time, it also wanted to carry out further cooperation. 7-eleven's stores have more than 30,000 stores around the world. "Clashclarans" has topped the top in more than 50 countries around the world. Its popularity has remained high so we can fully cooperate further!
I never thought about leaving Park Ji-hoon alone - in fact, it wasn't that I didn't want to, but that I couldn't! No one could confirm how much of the two mobile games accounted for in this miraculous result, and it was impossible to guarantee that cooperation with other games would be as successful. Secondly, when we negotiated cooperation, the company valued the popularity of "clashclas" and "Jilong Mystery". In addition, with its own coffee brand, we chose the current cooperation method with Park Ji-hoon's insistence - the coffee brand is owned by Park Ji-hoon's company. Later, the investigation found that many customers like the name "my coffee" very much... Therefore, cooperating with Park Ji-hoon is always the first choice!
In addition, when Sho Harada and Ryota Ikegami met someone who was 7-eleven, the etiquette they received was much higher.
I was even more enthusiastic when I saw Park Ji-hoon himself!
The appointment was 8 pm, but it was just 7 pm. The marketing director of eleven personally called Park Ji-hoon and made an appointment with him. Then, he whispered and drank from 7 pm until 9:30.
When we first discussed the matter, there were only two people. After the work was over, it was impossible for them to just drink.
People like Park Ji-hoon and the 7-eleven Marketing Department Minister cannot take the initiative to liven up the atmosphere, so they need special drinkers.
To be honest, the marketing minister of 7-eleven wants to get Park Ji-hoon drunk, even if it costs several times more, it doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter if you don’t think about it, there must be a group of competitors outside who are eyeing him - even if you can’t pull Park Ji-hoon away, you will have to make things difficult for the cooperation between the two parties.
Strengthen yourself and attack your opponents. It has always been the best partner.
7-eleven Marketing Minister diligently sent Park Ji-hoon into the car.
"Thank you for the hospitality, our cooperation will be even more brilliant!" Park Ji-hoon said goodbye with drunkenness.
The cooperation with 7-eleven is very pleasant, and some quarrels in interests are normal.
"We are also looking forward to it!" This is the most reassuring and comforting sentence that the director of the Marketing Department of 7-eleven heard today. Before discussing follow-up cooperation, although he prepared a lot of rhetoric, he did not expect Park Ji-hoon to retreat and not only did not ask for more benefits because of his own advantages. Instead, he took the initiative to give up some, which made him unable to express the goals set by the company! The cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant. How could he say it in such a situation? He felt that he was too greedy!
Sure enough, I still underestimated this young man!
Seeing Park Ji-hoon's car leave, he breathed a light breath and turned to his assistant and said, "Look at those guys!" How could Luo Sen, the whole family and other competitors not know about the actions?
Always worried.
It’s not that I really regard Park Ji-hoon as indispensable, but that the flesh in my mouth is originally, how can someone take it away?
Park Ji-hoon did not return to his residence, but asked the driver to find a hotel.
I just drank, but I almost didn’t eat much!
At this time, I just wanted to eat a bowl of hot noodles, so I couldn't eat it even if I gave him delicacies.
I changed into the clothes and hats I came from again, and I don’t have to worry about being recognized.
The hat is Yoon Hee-jin.
At home, he could almost say that he would wear whatever he wanted. Park Min-ah once bought him a pair of pink clothes. If it weren't for being too eye-catching, Park Min-ah couldn't stand it. He was afraid that he would wear it directly to go out! When he came, Yoon Hee-jin saw him looking for a hat, so she directly put his hat on him.
It's a little tighter, so it doesn't hinder.
"Welcome!" The waiter did not recognize him and let the group into the private room.
All the assistants also wanted to meet him.
However, the styles are different, including soup noodles, dry noodles, and dip them in the noodles. Put the slightly cool noodles in super hot soup and dip them in. The taste is very good, and the remaining soup can be drunk in the end.
All Park Ji-hoon wants is to get along with it.
The waiter just went down, but in just a moment, a gentle knock on the door suddenly rang out.
"So quickly?" an assistant went to open the door suspiciously.
The one who appeared in front of him was not the waiter, but five beautiful girls.
"Hello, is it Mr. Park Ji-hoon inside?" asked a petite girl first.
"Yes, come in." The other party didn't know him. But the assistant recognized them and said with his body aside.
Park Ji-hoon and others had already turned around and looked over.
"Hello, Senior Park Ji-hoon!" A group of five girls entered one after another, then looked at Park Ji-hoon neatly, bowing to greet him with surprise.
"Why are you here?" Park Ji-hoon asked with a smile.
Among the five members of T-ara, only three of them can name them. Park Ji-yeon - looks very similar to Kim Tae-hee, Xian Yin-jeon - has short hair and handsome, Lee Ju-ri - the name and mole on the tip of the nose are easy to remember.
I have played in their MV, but the time is too far away, especially for him who faces a lot of people and things every time, it feels like a long time memory.
"Sit first." Without waiting for the five people to answer, he said again, "Have you eaten? If not, let's go together."
After all, I have cooperated, and when I meet juniors in China abroad and girls, I must take care of them.
"Thank you senior!" Without hesitation, the petite girl in the front row first thanked her.
Even if you are full, you will say you haven’t eaten!
I don’t know how many people can’t ask for such an opportunity!
The private room was limited, so several assistants had to go to the private room opposite.
"Is a new album going to be released?" Park Ji-hoon looked at the five people and asked after the five people took their seats.
It can be seen from the hairstyles of the five people.
Brown, yellow, burgundy...some exaggerated looks usually only before the album is released.
"Yes!" Xian Yinjing said smoothly in a slightly coquettish tone. "Our Japanese single "bunnystyle" will be officially released on March 20. I hope that seniors can support it at that time!" Unlike her handsome style, she likes to act coquettishly.
Park Ji-hoon nodded slightly.
"We are promoting our new album and filming a program called "Daily T-ara". At that time, we will be broadcast on the Niconico channel in Japan. Today, we are tired and hungry, so we made an appointment to go out for dinner together. Unexpectedly, we met our seniors. It seems that our fortune this year is very good!" Another girl with petite figure and slightly curled lips answered his previous question.
I’m a little nervous and excited, but the more I do this, the better I have to perform, just like on the stage!
Park Ji-hoon's eyes swept across the faces of the five.
"Sister Hyomin is making movies in Japan, and she has no time." As if she guessed his question, Park Ji-yeon said quickly.
For another new member, no mention was made.
Last year, a lot of things happened to T-ara.
During the Japanese tour, old members left the team, new members joined, and members said internally... Originally, with the song "Loveydovey", it could almost be said to have ushered in another peak. T-ara was suddenly hit hard, fans were centrifuged, their reputation dropped a lot, and their popularity dropped a lot.
Things were in a big stir, and even Park Ji-hoon had heard of them.
Now it seems that the new members are not accepted by them. It is true to think about it. The most feared thing about a group is member change, except for super combinations like Japanese akb48.
"If you want something else, order whatever you want, I'll treat you." Park Ji-hoon said after the waiter brought their meals over.
"Really?" Park Ji-yeon asked in surprise.
She and Park Ji-hoon are the most familiar with each other, and once did ridiculous acts with iu. Now that I think about it, I can't help but praise Park Ji-hoon's good personality on the show.
"Can I still lie to you?" Park Ji-hoon joked.
"Thank you oppa!" Park Ji-yeon naturally restored her previous name. While looking at the menu, she asked casually: "What are oppas doing in Japan? Didn't she go to the concert of the Girls Generation senior?"
Tonight is the day when the Girls Generation concert begins. (To be continued.)
