Chapter 2278 The Boss Is Mighty

Will you be unable to afford tickets?

Savage wanted to ask, is it 5 billion euros per ticket including the opening and closing ceremony dinners?

However, in this case, it can only make him feel lustful in his heart.

So, you originally had a problem with the cost of attending an advertising festival?

He wiped away his angry breath and said sincerely, "Mr. Feng, you are the distinguished guest of our advertising festival. It is our honor for you to participate in the advertising festival and attend the opening and closing ceremonies. You will naturally use No tickets required,”

"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 silent glances. The boss really cared about the cost this time.

Savage finally managed to calm down, but suddenly he felt uncomfortable again. You, a well-known and super rich man, actually spoke out about these tickets. How embarrassed are you?

Besides, although the other people around the table are very good, they are not founders, just executives. If all executives attending the meeting are free of charge, then we are all drinking the northwest wind?

"Mr. Feng, we admit that during the advertising festival, the cost of food, accommodation and transportation did increase significantly. As the organizer, we are also very annoyed. We have also repeatedly communicated with the government and relevant associations,"

"It's just that you know that France is a country with a market economy, and relevant practitioners have the right to adjust the prices of their services based on supply and demand,"

"This was a widespread issue, including during the film festival last month,"

"We also want to change this situation, but it's really difficult for us to do it," he spread his hands helplessly.

Feng Yiping shook his head, "Speaking of which, 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 has always kept up with the pulse of the times. , rising higher and higher,”

"Chairman Savage, you are right, this is a country with a market economy, oh, it seems that many countries are?" He asked again.

Boss, you are so naughty, Zuckerberg said to himself.

"So, according to the principles of market economy, you and your advertising festival should be a big customer of Cannes, right?"

"In the past ten days, more than 10,000 high-end and elite people have been brought to Cannes. How many job opportunities and consumption can this bring to Cannes, a small city with a population of just over 70,000? ?”

"And the Advertising Festival has been held here since 1977. How much GDP has it created for Cannes?"

"So for Cannes, the advertising festival is naturally considered its big customer. Does it mean that such a big customer doesn't have any bargaining power?"

"For example, it is okay to increase prices, but can there be a upper limit? For taxis coming from Nice Airport, the upper limit is 60 euros, or 80 euros? For hotels, the price can only be double the usual price at most? For some designated restaurants, the price is fixed Menu, maximum 20 or 30 euros per person?”

"We believe in the integrity of you and your team, Savage. However, I think there must be some gossip floating in your ears. Some participating companies speculate that the Advertising Festival Organizing Committee can also benefit from this high amount of consumption. get some of the proceeds,"

What could Savage say? "We have heard similar remarks, and we are also helpless. In order to solve this problem, we have been negotiating every year, but there has been no progress,"

In fact, companies such as Publicis and WPP have raised the issue of too high costs more than once.

No one will feel good if they spend several times, or even an unlimited price, to enjoy services that are no different from usual ones.

Savage would have thought the same way if he were attending the meeting.

Especially in the years of economic downturn, there will be more and more concentrated opinions on this aspect.

But, they did try their best.

“Why don’t we want everyone’s expenses to be reduced and more professionals to participate in the advertising festival?”

For them, this is also a very real problem.

When a company comes to participate in the advertising festival, each work submitted needs to be paid to the advertising festival from 400 to more than 1,000 euros. The round-trip air ticket for one person, plus the cost of the 8-day advertising festival, is at least 10,000 euros.

You can't just send one person here, that is to attend once, that is, not holding any activities, and it will easily cost 30,000 to 50,000 euros, which is a huge expense for many companies.

"No, I don't think you have tried your best," Feng Yiping said. "In my opinion, there are still too many methods that can be used."

"Want to hear the details," Savage and his men immediately sat up straight.

Although what Feng Yiping said may not be pleasant to the ear, it is indeed true.

And if they can solve this problem and attract more companies to participate in the conference, that will be their success.

"Cannes, and many nearby cities, are ultimately a tourist city, that is, the related service industries are actually supported by foreign tourists. Therefore, I can give you a solution to this problem now. "

"Pierre," he called the name of the person in charge of the French company, but Pierre was not here at the moment, "Zach, I want our Facebook to add a review section as soon as possible."

"It should be faster to promote the review section under NEXTDOOR in Europe," Zuckerberg said.

"Then let them do it immediately. It's just the right opportunity to let everyone make frank reviews on the website,"

"I want to see how much other tourists will like this place if they see that all the restaurants and hotels in Cannes on the website are arbitrarily raising prices. How many people will still want to travel here for vacation,"

"Cannes is not the only city near the Cote d'Azur, right?"

Savage glanced at a few of his men. He had never thought of this method before.

Doing this, let alone, will definitely have a promoting effect.

No matter how powerful it is, a tourist city like Cannes will definitely pay attention to its reputation.

In particular, if the stars who have a large number of fans participating in the film festival also complain about the various chaos in Cannes during the film festival on the review website, the consequences are very beautiful to think about.

"There is another way. After the iPhone is released, I think the Advertising Festival can develop an APP that can be used on the iPhone and other smart phones in the future. As long as the participants log in to this APP, they can understand the conference arrangements and evaluate the various work of the Advertising Festival..."

"All the registration, ticket purchase and other services of the Advertising Festival can of course be integrated into this APP. Savage, what do you think?"

"If you can't develop the relevant software, you can entrust us to develop it. The cost is also very simple. We can waive our future ticket fees."

"Mr. Feng, your suggestions are indeed very good and have given us a lot of inspiration. We will implement some of them as soon as possible," Savage said.

It's just that your request is too unrealistic and too exorbitant.

"We sincerely hope that this Advertising Festival will satisfy you and your company. I once again invite you to attend the opening dinner on behalf of the Advertising Festival. I also look forward to you and the guests at the meeting sharing your wonderful views."

He felt that it was time to leave.

Publicis, who was originally a bit of a bully, has already noticed the importance of the Advertising Festival to high-tech companies, and has also fully understood Feng Yiping's views on the Advertising Festival.

That's enough.

If I stay any longer, I don't know what difficult questions I will encounter.

"I'm sure I won't attend," Feng Yiping said. He wanted Zuckerberg, Sandberg and others to further increase their popularity, "but they are all happy to participate,"

"Speaking of this," Feng Yiping said again.

Hearing this familiar sentence, Savage's heart suddenly lifted again.

He knew too well that the question following this sentence must not be a good one.

"What award do you and the Advertising Festival plan to give them?" Feng Yiping said.

Savage sighed in his heart, I knew it was true

But are you sure it's really good to talk about this issue so bluntly?

"You're not going to give them an award, are you?" Feng Yiping said again.

He looked like if you dare to do this, we will leave immediately and will not participate in this Advertising Festival next time.

Seeing the chairman of the advertising festival always at a disadvantage in front of Feng Yiping, Xiao Zha wanted to applaud and cheer, the boss is awesome!

The sea breeze blew gently, and the yacht beside the dock rose and fell gently with the waves, and the waves brought up hit the dock, making a crisp "splashing" sound, one after another.

At this time, Savage's heart was exactly the same as the taste of the sea water.
