Chapter 1771 Auspicious People Are Blessed by Heaven

"I think this should be enough for us to treat Claire as a VIP of our restaurant," Wu Xinyang's face was full of excitement, "This is the blessing of heaven, Jingping,"

Indeed, such an influential food critic, such a restaurant in the United States, on the one hand, carefully guarded against her, fearing that she would come to the restaurant quietly, and then use sharp strokes to criticize the restaurant from hardware to software, from dishes to services.

On the other hand, they were eagerly looking forward to her coming one day, and then returning with satisfaction, and writing a beautiful article that would make the restaurant's business hot all of a sudden.

Such a gourmet who is loved and hated by the majority of catering practitioners, but is very popular with consumers, wrote such an article when the restaurant just opened, which was so smooth that it was a bit unbelievable.

By the way, if Wu Xinyang had not participated in the preparations for the opening of the restaurant throughout the whole process, he would have suspected whether Claire, who has always been famous for her fairness, had accepted a huge public relations fee from Mantingfang.

Of course, in the United States, such a thing is impossible, especially for Claire, who has an annual income of at least 500,000 and has become a top person in a field.

But this is too coincidental, isn't it?

"What good fortune? Do you still believe in this?" Huang Jingping laughed, "Claire has previously praised some unknown restaurants with high praise. She is an absolute perfectionist, absolutely loyal to her own judgment and her readers,"

"In short, now our Mantingfang is known to many consumers not only in the Greater Bay Area, but also in the West and the East, isn't it? I hope there will be more such influential free advertising," Wu Xinyang continued.

She thinks that a good subordinate should do one thing, that is, he should emphasize and exaggerate the company's achievements in front of the boss.

Because emphasizing and exaggerating the company's achievements is actually indirectly and stylishly praising the boss.

Huang Jingping smiled. Such words sounded comfortable. This was her first business, and it was also a business that she valued more and more. It was good to have such a good start. "How about our own publicity? How is the effect?"

As a project with such a large investment, such a long preparation time, and so many functions, they naturally had a thorough arrangement in terms of publicity.

Advertisements in local influential media are traditional means that almost all businesses use, and they naturally use them.

But the focus of publicity is still the Internet marketing that Feng Yiping has been advocating for companies to practice since last year.

The advantage is that, especially in the United States, they really don't lack such channels.

On Facebook, Mantingfang was one of the first companies to open a public account. After nearly a year of operation, the number of fans has exceeded 10,000-it must be pointed out that they have not promoted it in their subordinate companies, otherwise, let alone more, it would definitely be no problem to double it.

However, before that, the more than 10,000 fans were mainly Chinese.

Platforms like NEXTDOOR naturally cannot be used, especially the various branches in the Bay Area. Previously, they were vigorously promoted. These days, they are promoting it to everyone as frequently as possible without causing user disgust.

"Very good, I just counted it. Guess how many fans we have on Facebook now?"

"How many?" Huang Jingping didn't check it herself, leaning back in the swivel chair and crossing her legs.

"When I looked at it half an hour ago, it was close to 50,000. Now, it must have exceeded 50,000," Wu Xinyang said confidently.

"Claire's comment naturally played a big role. The VIPs invited yesterday should have contributed a lot of strength."

"It can be said that the preparation was not in vain," Huang Jingping nodded with satisfaction.

What was arranged yesterday was naturally an important promotion.

In terms of investment, yesterday's expenditure was no less than the money Mantingfang spent on advertising in the media recently.

So many professionals were specially invited from China. Not to mention the remuneration, the round-trip airfare and their various expenses in the United States - Feng Yiping decided to treat them as VIPs, which was not a small amount.

It was also because of this courtesy that the perfect effect was achieved yesterday.

"There is another happier thing. We have analyzed the fan composition and sent it to your email," Wu Xinyang said, "Among the new fans, Chinese only account for nearly 15%."

"Really?" Huang Jingping immediately opened her email to see the analysis report on the composition of new fans.

They spent so much energy and invested so much money to open a garden-style Chinese restaurant in the United States. Naturally, they considered providing authentic and diverse Chinese food for Chinese people.

However, they took so much effort to open such a Chinese restaurant in the United States. Their purpose was definitely not to come to the United States to make money from their own people. Americans of other races are the focus of the restaurant.

Huang Jingping believed that even if Mantingfang was packed every day, if the customers were all Chinese or domestic tourists, she believed that Feng Yiping would definitely not be happy, and neither would she herself.

"Very good," she glanced at the report. Chinese, plus Koreans, Japanese, and immigrants from other Southeast Asian countries. The current total number of immigrants from countries that already have knowledge and affection for Chinese food is only just now. More than 20% of the total number of fans!

This is the effect he wants and the effect she wants.

"According to their career and employment company analysis, many of the employees of the companies where the VIPs invited yesterday have become our fans, and they are still growing at a rapid rate," Wu Xinyang added.

"As expected," Huang Jingping patted the table.

The most effective publicity is word of mouth.

It is conceivable that those who came yesterday, especially those who are respected and loved by employees, such as founders like Page, will naturally bring many fans to Man Tingfang when they go back and talk about what they saw yesterday.

Spread by the people around them, these people who remember Man Tingfang will talk about it again when they go home, talk to their friends... The scale this will involve is naturally promising.

Combined with reports in the media, such as Claire's comments, it is natural to imagine the speed at which the number of fans has increased.

Although Huang Jingping didn't quite understand why Feng Yiping didn't form a circle in China, but spent a lot of energy maintaining a circle of friends in the United States, this time, she really saw the dividends.

Seeing that Huang Jingping's mood was getting better and better, Wu Xinyang continued to read Claire's comments, "But if you think that at this luncheon, we will eat all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, then you absolutely... ,"

"Ring, ring, ring," the phone on Huang Jingping's desk rang rapidly, "Wait a moment," she motioned to Wu Xinyang, "What's the matter?"

"Well, okay, I understand, I can tell everyone the good news,"

"What's the good news?" Wu Xinyang asked quickly when he saw Huang Jingping standing up excitedly and walking around by the window after answering the phone.

"They said they would have to wait 30 days to make reservations for our restaurant," Huang Jingping said.

"In other words, all locations in our restaurant have been booked for the next 30 days?" Wu Xinyang was a little distracted.

"It would appear to be so, except of course the few seats we reserve for emergencies,"

With a "bang" sound, Huang Jingping opened the window again.

How could it be so easy to succeed?

Although in the long run, it depends on the reviews of these customers after they visit to determine whether it is successful.

But for any newly opened restaurant, if it has just opened and already has reservations for 30 days, it is certainly reasonable to say that it is a success.

"Jingping, congratulations!"

"This is not my fault alone. I should say congratulations to us," Huang Jingping picked up the phone. She wanted to share the news with Feng Yiping most at this time, but she did not make the call in the end.

…………

In Los Angeles, after completing various agendas of the board of directors, it was already afternoon.

Today's board meeting went quite smoothly, and the most important item was unanimously approved by everyone.

For Tesla, whether it is introducing Bill Gates, Page and Brin, it is a good thing in terms of funding and reputation.

Afterwards, Feng Yiping rejected Musk's dinner invitation, left the three people who came with him from Silicon Valley, and drove to his house in Beverly Hills.

Sitting in the car, looking at the strange yet familiar mansion in front of him, and thinking about the several times he had been here before, he suddenly didn't want to go in.
