Cheat day

Menu development(1)

I want to ask Muk Eun-ji right away if it’s an unreasonable demand, but I can’t because Deputy Kim Yong-woo sitting across from me.

If Cookooki decides to give up this advertisement, it would also be a huge blow to my lunchbox business.

I tried hard to hide my impatience and waited, and soon Team Leader Park Seok-ho returned.

“First of all, the one-month time limit is bothering me.”

As expected, it was an unreasonable condition.

After finishing the call, Team Leader Park Seok-ho began to list various reasons.

“Since it’s a one-time promotion, there are various concerns as well.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

The aged kimchi has emerged.

“The basic principle of sales is to get customers to use the product.”

It’s something I’ve heard somewhere before.

“CR1 is undoubtedly a proven quality product, but since it was just released, there are not many people who have used it yet.” Our lunchbox business will provide an opportunity for large groups wanting to diet to experience CR1.

“Mm.”

Team Leader Park Seok-ho did not react much.

From what I hear, it sounds enticing, but since it’s a meeting to set the advertising cost per unit, they seem to be responding cautiously.

Also, the factor that currently has the greatest impact on product sales is reviews. Reviews from people who have actually used the product give us trust. I think the element that Cookook probably desires the most is customer testimonials.

Regarding this part, both Park Seok-ho and Kim Yong-woo nod in agreement.

Since we are confident in our product, we believe that once people taste the rice from CR1, the buzz, or word-of-mouth, will spread.

The aged kimchi knows exactly what they want.

We plan to conduct a survey for those who purchased lunch boxes. I will also include the question about how the food tasted. If you use that content for promoting your business, it will be helpful.

“It’s bothering me that it doesn’t lead to store reviews.”

Assistant Manager Kim Yong-woo raised an objection.

“If you are interested in low-sugar rice cookers, I believe there are many who are desperate, whether for dieting or diabetes.”

“That’s right.”

An environment where you can easily access and search anywhere, such as YouTube, Google, Naver, and Daum. A desperate heart. The customer is smart and rational. If it is proven through platforms like YouTube that the effect is certain, we will definitely look into it.

Deputy Kim Yong-woo kept his mouth shut.

Mugunji looked at Team Leader Park Seokho and said.

“Moreover, the combined subscribers of Jimkkun, Ujini, Banyasikgyeong, and Banchangage channels total 5 million.” Even considering duplicate subscribers, we can expect significant results.

We once again confirmed to Cookook how significant our impact is.

The customer is not stupid.

Since they are rational and well-informed, they claimed that even without store reviews, they could find out how satisfied others are with the rice cooked by CR1.

If Cookook really has confidence in their product, they should readily accept the proposal.

“Additionally, Jimkkun, Banyasikgyeong, and Banchangage are all channels that deal with health information.” Especially, Woojin is among the top domestic YouTubers when it comes to this kind of thing. If you invest in joining the work these four people are doing, you will definitely see great benefits.

The way Mukkunji speaks is very effective.

Reasonable content, supporting documents, and finally, a confident and resolute attitude are all sufficient to instill trust.

This is where you can see why this person secured the most contracts at Hongdangmu.

“200 million won is by no means an unreasonable amount.”

Team Leader Park Seok-ho pondered for a moment and then chuckled.

This is ridiculous. There’s not a single wrong word. 허허. How is Assistant Manager Kim?

“I think the same.”

Team Leader Park Seok-ho nodded.

“Alright.” Let’s proceed.

30 million won for the personal channel advertisement for the side dish store.

I signed a contract for the lunchbox business advertisement, where 50 million won each will be paid to Ju Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, Baek Woo-jin, and me.

* * *

After finishing the contract, I wanted to have lunch together, but I was not in a position to eat anything outside, and I felt it might be burdensome for Muk Eun-ji to join the meal, so I asked for understanding.

Even the Cookook side understood.

“Then, I look forward to working with you.”

Thank you.

Park Seok-ho and Kim Yong-woo left the office.

After watching for a moment, they quietly opened the door, confirmed that the two people were gone, and then returned and shouted.

“Wowwwww!”

Mugunji was startled and flinched, but she was so happy that she didn’t mind.

Holding his wrist and lifting him up, they jumped around, and in the end, Mukunji smiled broadly.

“Congratulations.”

“Really.” It was really amazing. It’s all thanks to you, PD. How could you do that there?

My heart is overflowing, and I can’t find the words.

“It’s thanks to you and your friends.”

Today’s MVP was surprisingly calm.

“No, today’s negotiation was all thanks to you, PD.”

“I just stated the facts.”

“How did you come up with 200 million won there? I couldn’t even think of that.”

“I looked into it and found that they’ve been developing their low-carb rice cooker product for a long time, but the market response has been lacking. So, they’ve bet everything on the development of this new CR1 model. Since they’re confident in their product and have invested heavily, I figured they’d be keen on promotional efforts as well.”

I nodded in agreement.

“Just to be sure, I checked their financial status, and it was clean. I don’t know how, but their finances are solid, which means they probably allocated a substantial budget for marketing, given how much they want to promote their product.”

I hadn’t expected him to even check their financials.

“They wouldn’t reach out to just anyone, so they likely carefully selected you. They also must have researched typical promotional costs. The most accessible information would be the rate cards from MCNs or management companies.”

“Ah.”

“If it’s at the scale of a porter, such an advertisement would cost at least 100 million won.” The Ugenius channel is valued at over 50 million won, while the Banya Sikgye and Banchan store are valued at around 3,000.

This is strictly according to Hongdangmu Entertainment’s standards.

“But why is there no difference between me and Jiseung hyung?”

There is a difference of over 400,000 subscribers, but the average video views are not that different. The time for setting advertising fees based on subscriber count has passed. The important thing is that the fact that views matter is widely known.

Nodded.

“So, the advertising cost of 200 million won was an amount that Cookook initially expected.” The 100 million won demand was merely to leave room for negotiation.

“Ah.”

Team Leader Park Seok-ho probably understood that I knew Cookook’s forecast.

“Because I immediately asked for 200 million.”

“That’s right.” So, it could proceed without any major issues. And this was all possible because it was a project that you and your friends worked on together. I just mentioned the facts.

“Not at all.” It was amazing. You did a great job.

Thank you.

The aged kimchi bowed its head and returned to its place.

It’s amazing how calm you can be despite having successfully led the contract.

I want to be happier, but it’s more important to inform Joo Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, and Baek Woo-jin about this first.

I came into the room, opened Discord, and invited them, but only Chajichan joined.

It seems that Joo Ji-seung and Baek Woo-jin are on air.

-Oh~ Yongyong.

Cha Ji-chan replied in a drawn-out voice.

“Bro, our PD is really amazing.”

-Why?

When I explained the achievements of Mukkunji, Cha Ji-chan was also impressed.

Hey, you found a good person.

“Exactly.” Anyway, the deposit will be made on the 10th of next month.

-Suddenly, a lump sum of money appears. Thank you. I’m seeing all the benefits thanks to you.

“I’m also bewildered.” But seriously, will it really be 5,000? The PD said that usually for this kind of work, you get around 100 million won, right?

-What do you think my job is? You can take it all.

“Really?”

-No.

“…….”

-…….

“First, I sent a message to Ji-seung and Woo-jin, so let’s talk later.”

-What are you talking about?

They say it’s called the Black Tofu Crumble Set.

Rice is always barley, rat’s eye, and bean rice. What on earth is this? Anyway, there’s dressing for the veggie stick salad too. It seems like they mixed olive oil and balsamic vinegar. “This one with tofu and vegetables is called cauliflower steam salad, and the one at the bottom right is black tofu crumble.”

When editing for YouTube uploads, I should also include the nutrition facts.

“Then, I will eat well.”

First, I drizzled dressing over the vegetables cut into stick shapes and ate them.

It has a refreshing yet rich dressing, with the taste of cucumber and carrot.

“This is just a taste that everyone knows.” Healthy taste. I’m curious about this.

I’m curious about what exactly black tofu crumble is.

The viewers had the same reaction and ate it with a spoon.

“Mm.”

Dried tofu gives a chewy texture and tastes like black bean sauce.

Delicious. This was jjajang. It’s not too salty and just right. For those who eat blandly, it tastes delicious, and the black bean sauce aroma is amazing. The texture of the tofu is really good too. Next is the cauliflower salad.

I was feeling good until just now, but eating the cauliflower salad made me feel gloomy.

“This is.” This really just tastes healthy. But this black tofu crumble is so delicious that I think it would be fine to take turns eating it.

In fact, being able to eat fresh and different healthy meals every day is a great advantage.

I’m trying various healthy lunch boxes to start a lunch box business, and this one is quite good too.

“Ugh.”

But I’m so sleepy.

My eyes keep closing.

I know I shouldn’t be doing this, but at some point, I realized I had dozed off.

Looking at the chat window, it’s being spammed with “kek.”

Even though I move my hands with the intention of finishing what I was eating and ending the broadcast, my eyes close, and the act of chewing gradually slows down.

“……sir/ma’am.”

“…….”

“CEO.”

Uh? Yes?

When I came to my senses, the aged kimchi was shaking me.

It seems I dozed off.

“CEO!”

Yes? “Why?”

“You slept well.”

“Not really?” I was awake.

There are still a lot of lunch boxes left.

I’m scooping up the black tofu crumble with a spoon, but I can’t taste anything.

“I want to use this advertising fee to improve the quality of the lunch boxes.”

-Um. Because I’ve received something. It feels good to give back to the subscribers.

Yes. I’ll post the contract details in the group chat. Just check that for me.

-What do you mean by “confirmation”? You probably took care of it yourself.

No. Make sure to watch it. Read it.”

-Okay. See you later.

After finishing the call, Ju Ji-seung and Baek Woo-jin contacted one after the other and praised the PD to their heart’s content.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

After chatting for about 30 minutes, I suddenly felt tired.

I was already tired, but now that the contract is successfully completed, it feels like the tension has been released.

Today, there is a scheduled broadcast reviewing a diabetes meal kit sold by a company, and at night, “How long are you going to be grumpy?”It is also scheduled.

“Ugh.”

My eyelids are too heavy.

I took out the iced Americano from the pack in the refrigerator.

As I gulped down my coffee, the back of Mukji, who was diligently working on something, came into view.

“PD, go home early today.”

“There is still work to be done.”

“It’s okay.” You can do it tomorrow, right?

“If you start procrastinating, there’s no end to it.”

“You worked hard preparing for the contract today.” Taking breaks and then working hard will also yield efficiency. “Today, really leave work early.”

The aged kimchi let out a light sigh and nodded.

Understood. “I’ll stay until 6 o’clock.”

It means that I will check my broadcast and then come back.

I thought that talking more would have the opposite effect, so I said that and went back to my room to finish preparing for the broadcast.

I took out the diabetes meal I had ordered in advance, set it in the microwave, and turned on the broadcast.

To be in love

on-time broadcast

Why are you so diligent these days?

What is a diabetic lunchbox?

Hi

Hello. You say I look tired? Not at all. Today something really good happened, so even though I’m tired, I don’t feel tired at all. What do you mean? I’ll let you know soon. It’s not something I should handle alone.

We talked about our recent updates until enough viewers joined.

People asking for birthday wishes, people saying they went to a great restaurant, people saying I look sleepy, and so on—talking to them makes my eyes keep closing.

“Today is a review broadcast.” 리뷰. It’s a lunchbox sold for diabetes patients, and the reviews aren’t bad. I will try this.

I showed the lunchbox up close.

The lunchboxes sold at XXX Meal are available twice a day, from Monday to Friday, for a total of 20 lunchboxes over two weeks, priced at 240,000 won.

Since it’s a product delivered every morning, it costs about 10,000 won each, excluding the delivery fee.
