Chapter 774: A Chance Encounter in Japan
Convenience store coffee has long been on the market. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not only Lawson and FamilyMart, but also 7-Eleven has its own coffee brand, but it is a new brand launched in Japan.
The origin is that Park Ji-hoon happened to see a convenience store coffee and suddenly had the idea to use this way to promote the two games "Hidden Dragon Maze" and "Clashclans".
I didn't have such conditions, so I chose to cooperate with 7-Eleven.
At first, his original intention was just to promote the game, and he didn't care too much about this kind of competition, so in order to attract customers, he chose the most direct method - low price!
For the same 150 yen, you can buy 180 ml of freshly brewed coffee at FamilyMart, 150 ml at Ok convenience stores, and 235 ml at 7-Eleven!
7-Eleven didn't pay much attention to the new brand, as the popularity of Clashclans and Dragon's Maze would bring more customers to the company, so they agreed to work together.
However, no one expected that this business, which had already existed, would burst out with jaw-dropping results after adding the factor of mobile game promotion!
With a series of promotional measures, the revenue of "Clashclans" and "Lost City of Dragons" has increased significantly! Similarly, 7-Eleven found that this business actually quickly improved the operating performance of 7-Eleven in Japan, and even promoted a small increase in the profits of its parent company Seven &iHoldings!
Maybe it's because of the low price, or maybe it's because of the partnership with two of the most popular mobile games. Although major companies, including 7-Eleven itself, have carefully analyzed the reasons for the sudden explosion of this business, no one can give an accurate answer.
So, some people are trying to replicate this model.
This is the reason why convenience stores such as Lawson and FamilyMart strongly invited Park Ji-hoon.
The head of the marketing department of 7-Eleven personally met with Park Ji-hoon to discuss the cooperation between the two parties, and at the same time, he wanted to carry out further cooperation. With more than 30,000 stores worldwide, 7-Eleven has topped more than 50 countries around the world. So far, the popularity has remained high, and it is possible to cooperate further!
I didn't want to get rid of Park Ji-hoon and go it alone—actually, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't! No one can confirm what percentage of the two mobile games accounted for this miraculous achievement, and there is no guarantee that the cooperation with other games will be equally successful. Secondly, when the cooperation was negotiated, the company valued the popularity of "Clashclans" and "Wisdom Dragon Maze", plus it already had its own coffee brand. At the insistence of Park Ji-hoon, the current cooperation method was chosen - the coffee brand is owned by Park Ji-hoon's company. Later, the survey found that many customers liked the name "my coffee...... Therefore, cooperating with Park Ji-hoon is always the first choice!
Along with it, Sho Harada and Ryota Ikegami also received a lot of etiquette when they met people from 7-Eleven.
Seeing Park Ji-hoon himself, it was even more enthusiastic!
The appointment was 8 p.m., but it was just 7 p.m. The head of the marketing department of 7-Eleven personally called Park Ji-hoon and asked him out. Then. Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, several people drank from 7 o'clock in the evening until 9:30.
When we first started talking about things, there were only two people, and after we finished talking about work, it couldn't be just two people for drinking.
People like Park Ji-hoon, the head of the marketing department of 7-Eleven. It is impossible to take the initiative to liven up the atmosphere, so you need a special escort.
Truth be told, the head of 7-Eleven's marketing department wants to get Park Ji-hoon drunk, even if it costs a few times more for it! It is also necessary to add obstacles to the cooperation between the two sides.
Strengthening oneself and striking opponents has always been the best partner.
The head of the marketing department of 7-Eleven graciously sent Park Ji-hoon all the way to the car.
"Thank you for your hospitality, our cooperation will be even more brilliant!" Park Ji-hoon said goodbye drunk.
It was a pleasure to work with 7-Eleven, and it was normal for some arguments of interest to have some arguments.
"We are also looking forward to it!" was the most reassuring and comfortable sentence that the marketing department of 7-eleven heard today. Although he prepared a lot of rhetoric to discuss follow-up cooperation, he did not expect that Park Zhixun would actually retreat into advance, and instead of asking for more benefits because of his own advantages, he took the initiative to give up some, so that he could not say the goal set by the company at all! The cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant, how can he say it in such a situation? He feels too greedy to come!
Sure enough, I still underestimated this young man!
Watching Park Ji-hoon's car leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned to his assistant and said, "Keep an eye on those guys!" How could the actions of competitors such as Lawson and the whole family not know?
I don't feel at ease.
It's not that he really regards Park Ji-hoon as indispensable, but it's the meat in his own mouth, how can it be taken away by others?
Park Ji-hoon did not return to his accommodation, but asked the driver to find a restaurant.
I drank alcohol before, and I barely ate much!
At this time, I just want to eat a bowl of hot noodles, and I can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
I changed into the clothes and hat I came from, so I didn't have to worry about being recognized.
The hat is Yoon Hee-jin's.
At home, he can almost say what to wear, Park Minya once bought him a pink shirt and pants, if it wasn't too eye-catching, Park Minya couldn't stand it, he was afraid that he would go out directly in it! When he came, Yoon Hee-jin saw him looking for a hat, so he directly gave him his hat to wear.
It is slightly tight and does not hinder it.
"Welcome!" the waiter didn't recognize him, and let the group into the private room.
All the assistants were also with him, and they all wanted to meet each other.
However, the style varies. There are noodle soups, dry noodles, and dipping noodles – dip the slightly cool noodles in the super-hot soup and eat them, and the soup can be drunk at the end.
What Park Ji-hoon wants is to get noodles.
The waiter had just gone down, but after a moment's effort, a soft knock suddenly sounded on the door.
"So fast?" said an assistant, suspiciously, as he opened the door.
What appeared in front of me was not a waiter, but five beautiful girls.
"Hello. Is it Mr. Park Ji-hoon inside?" asked a petite girl at the beginning.
"Yes, come in. The other party didn't know him, but the assistant recognized them, stepped aside and said.
Park Ji-hoon and the others had already turned their heads to look over.
"Hello Park Zhixun senior!" A group of five girls rushed in, and then looked at Park Zhixun neatly and bowed in surprise to greet him.
"Why are you here?" Park Ji-hoon asked with a smile.
Of the five members of T-ARA, only three can be named. Park Ji-yeon - looks very similar to Kim Tae-hee, salty and handsome - short hair, Lee Ju-ri - the name and the mole on the tip of the nose are easy to remember.
has starred 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 memory.
"Sit down. Without waiting for the five to answer, he added, "Have you eaten?" Let's do it together. ”
Anyway, I have also cooperated, and I have met domestic juniors abroad. It's a girl again, so I'm sure I have to take care of it.
"Thank you, senior!" Without hesitation, the petite girl in the front row took the lead in thanking her.
Even if you're full, you won't eat it!
I don't know how many people can't ask for such an opportunity!
The space in the private room was limited, so several assistants had to go to the private room opposite.
"Coming out with a new album?" Park Ji-hoon looked at the five of them, waiting for the five to take their seats. Volunteered to ask.
This can be seen from the hairstyles of the five.
Brown, yellow, burgundy...... Some exaggerated styling is usually only done before the album is released.
"Yes!" said smoothly in a slightly coquettish tone, "Our Japanese single "Bunny Style" will be officially released on March 20th, and I hope that the seniors will support it!" Unlike her own handsome style, she likes to be coquettish very much.
Park Ji-hoon nodded slightly.
"We're promoting the new album. Filming a show called "Daily T-Ara", which will be broadcast on the Niconico channel in Japan. Today's shooting is over, tired and hungry, we made an appointment to go out to eat together, I didn't expect to meet our seniors, it seems that our luck this year is very good!" It was the petite girl with slightly curled lips who answered his previous question.
It's a little nervous and exciting, but the more you do, the better you have to behave, just like on stage!
Park Ji-hoon's gaze swept over the faces of the five.
"Sister Hyo-min is filming in Japan, so I don't have time. As if guessing his question, Park Ji-yeon said quickly.
For another new member, there was no mention.
A lot has happened at T-Ara in the last year.
Japan tour, old members leaving, new members joining, members infighting...... T-ara, which was originally expected to usher in another peak with the song "Lovey Dovey", suddenly suffered a heavy blow, with fans centrific, fame plummeting, and popularity plummeting a lot.
The matter was so loud that even Park Ji-hoon had heard about it.
Now it seems that the new members have not been accepted by them. It's right to think about it, the most feared thing about a group is the change of members, except for super groups like Japan's AKB48.
"If you want to eat something, feel free to order it, I'll treat you. After the waiter brought their food, Park Ji-hoon said.
"Really?" asked Park Ji-yeon in surprise.
She is the most familiar with Park Ji-hoon, and she once did ridiculous acts with IU. Now that I think about it, I can't help but praise Park Ji-hoon for his good character on the show.
"Can I still lie to you?" Park Ji-hoon said jokingly.
"Thank you oppa!" Park Ji-yeon naturally reverted to her previous title, and while looking at the menu, she casually asked, "What did oppa do when you came to Japan, didn't you go to the concert of Girls' Generation seniors?"
Tonight is the day of the Girls' Generation concert. (To be continued.) )
