Open business day-to-day

Chapter 282 Award Competition
Until the end of get off work, in the morning, a total of 31 companies contacted the company, opened their own official Weibo, and wanted to try some precision marketing.

Of course, it's just an experiment. Lin Rui didn't give much resources, so it was used as an experiment to improve the algorithm and improve the accuracy of promotion.

The scale of these enterprises is not small, and they have considerable influence in the province or the prefecture-level cities to which they belong.

Lin Rui can already imagine that after the government departments at all levels in Los Angeles have opened their official Weibo, various enterprises in the province have also entered Weiyang Weibo, which is definitely a big hot spot and news.

Needless to say, the local news media in Los Angeles must have tried their best to flatter themselves.The media and tabloids in other parts of the province may publish and reprint these news tomorrow.

If in the next period of time, enterprises in the province continue to settle in Weiyang Weibo, maybe it will make this popularity even higher, and once again feel their presence in front of the people of the whole city and even the whole province.

Naturally, the consequences will bring the registered users of Weiyang Weibo to another peak of growth.

After finishing the company's affairs, Lin Rui thought about it and did one more thing. He adjusted his salary to 30 before leaving work.I have to go to school in the afternoon.

The company performed so well this month, and there will definitely be a lot of rewards next month.If the basic salary is too low, it is not good to be held back, it is better to raise the salary in advance to make people feel at ease.

On the other side, the three-day calligraphy and painting competition at Yuelu Academy in Star City has just come to an end.

However, there is another important thing, which is the recognition of these award levels, which is also the most concerned thing for everyone.

This calligraphy and painting competition is divided into three prizes, two to three first prizes, awarded to the most outstanding performance.

Six to seven second prizes will be awarded to outstanding performers.

Fifteen third prizes are awarded to those who perform well and have good talent potential.

As the judges evaluated the awards one by one based on the work and performance of each contestant, it was finally Zhang Jingxian's turn.

However, controversy also arose. Some judges believed that Zhang Jingxian's works were very spiritual, with a solid foundation and high talent. The entries were also excellent and should be the first prize.

Some judges also believed that although Zhang Jingxian is indeed highly talented, she also performed very spiritually.But the depth of the work is not enough, many places are handled relatively young, and the first prize is not yet ready, and the second prize is more appropriate.

And so disputes arose.

The two sides refused to give in to each other, the public said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right.

At this time, a judge who was not on good terms with Professor Fan and opposed Zhang Jingxian's first prize, suddenly said: "Our past calligraphy and painting competitions have often been described by everyone as ungrounded, high-brow, and not in line with the public. aesthetics."

"I think now is the era of the market economy after all, and we should follow the trend and make some changes in thinking to make the works more suitable for the preferences of the public and the market."

Professor Fan's face was not very good, and he asked, "What does Professor Cheng mean by saying this?"

Professor Cheng glanced at Professor Fan with a half-smile, and slowly said: "As far as I know, the first prize we selected just now is also a painting genius, and many works have already flowed out. market recognition."

"Even many of the second prizes we judged just now have works that have flowed out of the market and been recognized."

"But as far as I know, your disciple Zhang Jingxian doesn't seem to have heard that any of her mature works have flowed to the market and been recognized by the market."

"The purpose of our competition is to select and cultivate talents in painting and calligraphy for the country, and the awards must be down-to-earth."

"Although your disciple is highly talented and spiritual, everyone recognizes this from time to time. But you have not proved yourself to the market. Although your work is good, it does not conform to the public's aesthetics and cannot be recognized by the market. It’s hard to say. This is incomparable to another first prize.”

"So I don't think it's appropriate to rate Zhang Jingxian as the first prize. It's safer to be the second prize!"

"What do you think?" He turned to look at the other judges present.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that the reasoning was a bit crooked and too realistic, but there was still some truth in carefully tasting it.

Now is the era of market economy, painters also have to eat.Even if the level is similar, a painter who has not proved himself to the market is indeed inferior to a painter who has proved himself to the market.

Professor Fan was speechless for a while, not knowing which weak point to start to refute.

She wanted to say that Zhang Jingxian already had a mature work on the market, and it was still sold in her gallery at a high price of [-] yuan.

But she couldn't say it, because she had learned the truth through Zhang Jingxian's mouth.

The person who bought the painting was Lin Rui, and it was a private transaction in her gallery. It was not sold in public, so it was difficult to get everyone's approval.

And the high price of [-] sounds a bit fake.

You must know that for many of the judges present, including herself, the market price of a mature work is only [-] to [-], and the market price of a better one is only [-] to [-].Who would believe that Zhang Jingxian's can be sold for [-] yuan?

Even she felt that Lin Rui had ulterior motives for charging such a high price.

Naturally, he couldn't speak at this time.

Although I was anxious, but as Zhang Jingxian's mentor, she was not suitable to intervene in the evaluation of Zhang Jingxian's awards, and she needed to avoid it.

If you really want to end the game and fight for awards for your disciples, it will appear too selfish and the impact will not be very good.

Could it be that Jing Xian could only win the second prize this time, and that Professor Cheng, who had always been at odds with her, had the upper hand.

I was in a hurry, when a judge surnamed Zhu next to me suddenly spoke.

Asked: "Professor Fan, your student is named Zhang Jingxian, what is her pen name?"

Professor Fan was a little puzzled, but he still replied: "She doesn't have any official pen name now, she uses her name Jingxian, what's the problem?"

Judge Zhu said with a chuckle: "It's nothing, there was an auction held in Los Angeles yesterday, and a friend of mine helped to hold the eyes. One of the paintings was inscribed with Jing Xian, and according to the consignor, this is a very talented The works of the new generation of talented painters."

"This friend of mine is not very familiar with the new generation of domestic painters, so he called me specifically to ask me, and even sent the paintings for me to look at."

Everyone was a little confused, at a loss, and even had a little bold idea.

Could it be that this is Zhang Jingxian's work, and it has even been auctioned.But thinking about it, it's impossible. Even most of the judges' paintings are not eligible for the auction. How could she!

Jury Zhu saw everyone's reaction, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued: "It wasn't until I heard everyone talking about Zhang Jingxian just now that I suddenly remembered that her entry is different from the painting that participated in the auction yesterday. , the style is very similar.”

"And Professor Fan also said that the pen name Zhang Jingxian is using now is Jingxian, and she is in Los Angeles. It can't be such a coincidence. So I suspect that the painting at the auction may be the contestant Zhang Jingxian's." work."

After hearing Judge Zhu's words, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and was a little stunned for a moment. His painting is really going to be auctioned!

Professor Cheng also looked confused, and when he realized it, he quickly retorted: "Impossible, how is it possible for a 19-year-old girl, she must have the same name or made a mistake."

Another person said, "Didn't the painting be sent over for you to look at? Did you save it? Take it out and let everyone see the style."

Judge Zhu patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes...it's still in my notebook."

After speaking, he opened his portable notebook and dug out the picture of the painting from the mailbox.

Everyone gathered around to have a look, and then flipped through Zhang Jingxian's entries. The style was indeed the same, and even the level was similar, so they were sure.

Professor Fan even recognized this painting at a glance. Isn't this the one that was hung in her gallery for sale and then directly bought by Lin Rui at a high price?

Why did it appear at the auction again!

After it was confirmed that this painting was indeed Zhang Jingxian's work, Professor Cheng was still very unconvinced and said, "Even if she is lucky enough to be included in the auction, what kind of recognition will she get for an unknown newcomer! What high price can she sell? Also As a companion."

This sentence is a bit sour, but it is also true, and most of the people present agree with it.The work of an unknown newcomer, when it comes to the auction, will only be at the bottom of the list as a foil.

However, being able to go to the auction is enough for everyone to envy. This is something that no one can ignore. It is a very important bonus item.

At this time, Judge Zhu suddenly smiled at Professor Cheng inexplicably and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Just now I sent a message to ask my friend about the auction situation of this painting. Guess what?" His expression was a bit exaggerated.

Everyone was a little puzzled, could it be that the high price was not achieved?It's just her newcomer's work, no matter how high the price can be, you must know that the market price of the works of many judges present is only [-] to [-], including her mentor Professor Fan.

How tall can she be?
Judge Zhu smiled mysteriously and held out three fingers.

Someone said: "Three thousand! She is a newcomer painter, and her works are sold for three thousand, which is pretty good. The other first prize we selected, the market price of his works is only five or six thousand?"

Judge Zhu shook his head, then shook three fingers: "Low!"

Everyone's expressions were a little confused. How much more can it be if it's not three thousand, don't you think it's thirty thousand? Don't be kidding.

Judging by Zhu's appearance, it didn't look like she was lying. One of the judges was a little shocked and said, "Is it really [-]? She is a novice painter, how is it possible!"

Judge Zhu still shook his head.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it, and thought to themselves: "I'll just say it! She's a newcomer, how could she be so tall!"

Judge Zhu then still shook the three fingers in his hand and said, "It's still too low!"

Everyone was speechless at once, and one commenter joked: "Old Zhu, don't be fooled. Thirty thousand is still low, so what do you mean by sticking out three fingers? Don't tell me it's 30."

Judge Zhu suddenly smiled and nodded, "It's exactly 30!" His expression was very serious.

As soon as his words came out, the court fell silent, and a needle could be heard, and everyone looked over in shock.

After all, among the judges present, the work with the highest market price did not reach 30, let alone [-].

One of the judges even exclaimed: "Old Zhu, this is not nonsense, we are judging awards! Don't be kidding."

Judge Zhu said seriously: "It's true. My friend said that the auction was on the news, and it mentioned how much the painting sold."

Although everyone still didn't believe it, many people with laptops had already opened and connected to the Internet, and began to search for news about this matter.

Really found it, look at the above content.A charity auction was held in Luojing International Club yesterday, and a total of 850 million was raised. The club said that all the money raised will be donated for the nutritional lunch program for elementary school students.

The report also mentioned several works with relatively high auction prices, including Zhang Jingxian's painting, and the auction price written on it was indeed 30.

No specific auction details were mentioned, and of course Lin Rui was not mentioned.The club's secrecy is done well, which is in line with Lin Rui's taste.

Everyone was a little silent. They didn't expect this to be true. It was really enviable to jealous.

Professor Cheng's face was not very good, and he complained in a low voice: "This is a charity auction, and there is a high premium. The actual value of the work must not be so high."

A judge said with emotion: "It is normal for a charity auction to have a premium, but even if there is a premium... it is very impressive to be able to auction it to 30 yuan. Few of you here may be able to do it."

Everyone knows this well, and it can even be said that none of the judges present can do it.

There was another burst of discussion, Professor Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, an old man sitting at the top suddenly waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't argue, let's decide the first prize, let's Let's talk about the next one."

So it was settled.

……

In the next few days, the development of the company went smoothly, and of course it was very busy. First of all, the official WeChat accounts of all levels of the Los Angeles City government are basically on the verge of common level, and even some bureau-level units directly under the district and county, 80.00% of them have also been opened. Official Weibo.

And the media has also opened a breakthrough, the Los Angeles Evening News, the Los Angeles Daily, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Daily, the Los Angeles Political and Legal News, the Economic Daily, etc... More than a dozen city-owned media newspapers, under this shareholder wind, also had to publish on Weiyang Weibo. Opened their respective official microblogs on Boshang.

As for the many entertainment media newspapers and magazines in Los Angeles, or some local tabloids, seeing that Weiyang Weibo has more and more users in this city, and the popularity is getting higher and higher, they have also opened official Weibo.

In terms of corporate official microblogs, the results are also good. These days, many companies have come to inquire about opening official microblogs, and they have also provided writing materials and hot topics for many newspapers in the province.

Especially Mr. Feng, who is very good at marketing. Recently, they were catching up with their supermarkets holding promotional activities, so they contacted Lin Rui, wanting to take the opportunity to promote their corporate official Weibo.

The main content is probably that as long as you follow their official Weibo, you can participate in lottery activities, or receive coupons, and put part of the funds originally used for offline marketing activities online.

This trick is really good. The combination of online and offline made the number of followers of their company's official Weibo suddenly skyrocket and climb steadily.After all, it is also the leader of the retail industry in the province. There are more than 60 large supermarkets all over the province, and the influence of the event is not small.

Lin Rui is naturally also happy to see the results. Weiyang Weibo only needs to give them more promotion resources, and they can gain a lot of registered users. It is still very cost-effective, and it is a win-win result.

With this example, many companies have also followed suit, promoting their official Weibo in various ways, increasing the number of followers, and the effect is remarkable.

The combination of these not only made Weiyang Weibo more and more popular in the province, but also increased the number of new registered users, forming a good virtuous circle.It also made him look forward to and full of confidence in the future of Weiyang Weibo.

Lin Rui can only work hard to fully arm himself from body to mind, so that he is worthy of this success and glory.
