Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 541 540: Mystery

Jiang Cheng, lost in thought, appeared to be daydreaming in Zhang Manlin's eyes.
He seemed to be in a daze and didn't hear her speaking.
Zhang Manlin waited for what felt like ages without Jiang Cheng answering, thinking he had zoned out while she was talking to him.
This made her even more speechless towards her boss, Jiang Cheng, for daydreaming during a discussion.
"Boss, what are you thinking about? I'm here discussing the new car issue with you. The new car is crucial for the entire company. It'd be better if you focused a bit more."
Seeing her boss like this, Zhang Manlin was filled with frustration but didn't dare to vent it, managing only to mutter a few complaints about Jiang Cheng.
With Jiang Cheng being her boss, she had no other means to handle him.
If one of her employees dared to daydream while discussing something important, Zhang Manlin would certainly assert her authority as CEO.
Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng was her boss, and the best Zhang Manlin could do was to vent her frustrations in this way.
Zhang Manlin's voice interrupted Jiang Cheng's thoughts, pulling him back to reality from his mind's void.
Once Jiang Cheng snapped back, he saw his CEO looking at him with a face full of complaints.
He had been contemplating future strategies for electric power and hadn't yet adjusted his thinking.
After being startled by Zhang Manlin's voice, he completely forgot what had just happened and didn't even catch what she had said.
Not understanding the situation at all, Jiang Cheng instinctively asked, "What did you just say? I was thinking about something earlier and didn't hear what you were saying."
Zhang Manlin, seeing Jiang Cheng's response, was infuriated.
She felt like she could strangle him to vent her anger.
Fortunately, her years of management experience gave her good control.
She finally resisted the impulse and refrained from strangling her boss.
"Don't be angry! Don't be angry! He's my boss! I'm not angry at all."
She kept repeating this mantra internally, trying to calm down.
Noticing that something was off with Zhang Manlin, Jiang Cheng still didn't understand what was going on.
How had Zhang Manlin suddenly turned upset when she had been fine just moments ago?
So Jiang Cheng asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Why do you seem emotionally off? Are you feeling unwell? Or is there too much work, making you tired for a period?"
"You should rest when needed. No matter how busy we are, don't overwork yourself. The company can't do without you. If you fall sick, the company will be in trouble."
Out of a sense of duty as a boss, Jiang Cheng felt he should show some concern.
An attentive boss is a good boss—this was something Jiang Cheng clearly understood.
What Jiang Cheng said was indeed true; Zhang Manlin was extremely important to the Cosmic Umbrella Company.
Without her coordinating in the center, there's no way the massive company could run smoothly.
Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng's words of concern made Zhang Manlin even more frustrated.
The veins on Zhang Manlin's forehead were throbbing, and her expression turned uglier.
In Jiang Cheng's view, even some black lines seemed to appear on Zhang Manlin's head, although he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
Zhang Manlin felt really depressed inside, wondering how she ended up with a boss like Jiang Cheng.
After calming herself down for quite a while, Zhang Manlin managed not to do something drastic to Jiang Cheng.
"I was just asking if you had any ideas for promoting the new car. If there are any special promotional plans, I can make the necessary arrangements."
"If you don't have any particular ideas, Boss, I'll proceed with the usual promotional plans."
Realizing Jincheng truly hadn't heard what she was saying, Zhang Manlin repeated her earlier question.
This matter was relatively urgent. Only after arranging the promotion could the new car be launched.
That's why Zhang Manlin was so eager to get Jiang Cheng's response.
If Jiang Cheng couldn't come up with any special ideas, she intended to proceed with conventional promotional methods.
General promotion methods like advertising or participating in car exhibitions and similar events were on her mind.
Despite being old-fashioned, these promotional methods were indeed the most practical.
Old-fashioned often means practical; otherwise, it wouldn't be considered old-fashioned. Jiang Cheng finally understood Zhang Manlin's question and temporarily focused his attention.
Consideration of future plans could be done anytime; he decided to deal with the matter at hand first.
"As for special promotional methods, I don't have any. We can go with the usual means; we could release ads at least letting everyone know our company has launched a new electric vehicle."
"However, we can use some tactics in the ads, initially not revealing the new car, just replacing its appearance with a silhouette, so that the final announcement can truly surprise people."
Jiang Cheng proposed an unconventional idea, which involved hiding the vehicle's shape and related data in the advertisement.
Simply inserting a silhouette to replace the car that was supposed to appear in the frame.
Jiang Cheng's concept had not been used before, possibly yielding some astonishing effects.
When it came to promotional activities, Zhang Manlin understood well; she immediately grasped Jiang Cheng's idea.
"So you mean creating a sense of mystery in the advertisement to attract public interest, then fully revealing the new car at the right time to cause the greatest sensation."
Indeed, Zhang Manlin was smart; she grasped Jiang Cheng's idea when he briefly mentioned it, even suggesting further actions.
Jiang Cheng's proposed tactic seemed complex yet was quite straightforward.
It primarily leveraged human curiosity to gain attention.
Firstly, they would promote the fact that Cosmic Umbrella Company was launching a new car, ideally having everyone know about it.
However, the promotional efforts would maintain a sense of mystery, not disclosing information about the new car, thereby creating an air of mystery.
This sense of mystery would draw everyone's attention to their new car.
Human curiosity is indeed strong; the less someone knows, the more they wish to know, even going to great lengths to uncover it.
If the truth can't be discerned, people will even speculate on what it might be.
Such promotional methods also allowed people to unleash their imaginations, guessing what the new car might look like.
In this way, the new car release by Cosmic Umbrella would certainly become a hot topic, with no worries about lack of attention.
"Does this approach really work? Aren't you afraid it might trigger a backlash? It seems too risky."
Although Zhang Manlin grasped Jiang Cheng's idea, she wasn't fully on board with such an approach.
The promotion seemed too risky, potentially causing negative reactions if not handled correctly, leading to unfavorable perceptions of the new car.
Using traditional methods for promoting the new car, although not as impactful as this method, was far more reliable.
