Chapter 1266: In 1265, young people rush forward
Tan Rou was there to have fun, not to discuss work, yet after a few individuals had left their contact details with her, an entire group wanted to do the same, which somewhat annoyed her. Therefore, she took a piece of paper from the bag she was carrying and planned to write something down for these senior citizens.
“This is our company’s official website. If you’re interested, you can take a look,” Tan Rou also considered that these elderly might not know how to access websites, “If you can’t check it, you can pass this website to your children and have them help you look at it.”
The leader, an old grandfather, said, “Young lady, our children aren’t around, and even if you give this to us, we wouldn’t know how to use it. Why don’t you send us something simple like brochures, or perhaps some advertisements?”
The old man’s words reminded Tan Rou that she had always targeted young people as consumers but had forgotten that many senior citizens also need high-tech products, like the robots before, and now the wheelchairs, which were needed by the elderly.
If the children of the elderly aren’t around, and the elderly themselves are relatively wealthy, they could buy these items themselves.
“You are right,” Tan Rou changed her approach to communicate with them, “Well, whenever our company launches a new product, we will advertise it in the daily Capital Morning News. You can look out for it.”
All these people were residents of the Capital, and they indeed had the habit of reading the morning paper, but there were also elderly not from the Capital who might not have the habit of reading the morning paper. So, what should Tan Rou do about them? She didn’t want to think about these issues at the moment.
The old grandfather brought up another issue, “Young lady, could you advertise on short video platforms? Although we are quite old, we still watch videos regularly. If you advertise there, we would definitely see it.”
Tan Rou asked these elderly which video apps they usually used and noted them down, “Alright, I’ve got it. Once the new products are launched, we will advertise on these platforms. But you must remember our company’s name. I’ll write it down for you so that whenever you see an advertisement from our company, you can check it out.”
“Alright, alright,” the old grandfather nodded repeatedly and praised, “Your generation of young people is really impressive! The future development of the country will rely on you all.”
Tan Rou slightly smiled, “We only have the possibility of development because predecessors like you laid the foundation. If our country were still in turmoil, how could we develop?”
The old grandfather waved his hands and said, “No, we are nothing compared to you. When we were young, I didn’t even know what a mobile phone was. Now, there are so many fun things on mobile phones, all invented by you young people. You young people are really the future masters of the country.”
Tan Rou continued, “Grandfather, it’s your generation that’s more important. Without you, there would be no us, and no future.”
The old grandfather wanted to say more praises, but an old grandmother next to him stopped him, “You old man, once you start talking, you never stop. Don’t talk anymore, the kids still have a mountain to climb. It’s okay if you climb slowly by yourself, just don’t hold others back.”
The old grandfather smiled and stored the website Tan Rou had given him, then said, “Go on then, head towards the mountain peak. When you’re young, you should be charging ahead because when you’re old, you won’t be able to move much.”
Looking at these elderly people, Tan Rou suddenly felt a bit melancholic. She wondered what she would be like when she was old. Would she also be like Zhuang Liu, using a walking stick to climb mountains?
Zhuang Liu silently stood behind Tan Rou, his hand resting on her shoulder, and said, “Let’s go.”
Tan Rou gently nodded, “Okay, let’s go up the mountain first.”
They had already reduced their pace considerably, but it was still faster than that of the elderly. The old grandfather was right; young people should push forward, for if they don’t, they would regret it when they become unable to do so in old age.
