Chapter Index

    “Senior Brother Jiang I have a question. Is your system connected to the school’s information system?”

    “Of course not.”

    “Then how will you differentiate whether the people forming teams are actually from the same dorm?”

    “There’s no need to differentiate. Even if he pulled in a roommate from another dorm as long as it generates a new user this event is worthwhile for me.”

    “But what if it’s a smurf account?”

    “It’s impossible for one person to have four phone numbers. Even with dual SIM phones you’d need two devices. So like I said as long as one is new I’m profiting.”

    After hearing this Yan Lu from the University of Technology understood. The rules businessmen spoke of were not meant for themselves.

    So sanctimonious. Truly eye-opening.

    The sincerity and kindness of college students was nowhere to be seen in Senior Brother Jiang!

    If someone like him can’t succeed then who can?!

    Yan Lu had always been very interested in entrepreneurship. She had done many small projects in school otherwise she wouldn’t have been selected as the entrepreneurial representative to join the study group.

    But looking at Senior Brother Jiang’s operations and thinking of the bit of hard-earned money she made before it really felt like she had seen a new world.

    “Teacher can I learn this?”

    “Uh… better not you won’t be able to handle it.”

    “…”

    After the meeting ended Jiang Qin specially asked Zhang Boqing to invite the team leaders to 207 and laid the groundwork for the forum promotion and school flower competition eloquently explaining the tentative promotion time and specific methods.

    Director Sun from University of Technology and Director Li from Normal University nodded after hearing indicating that if Jiang Qin really led the promotion they could provide some help.

    Whether polite or genuine Jiang Qin had achieved his goal of “leaving a deep impression on teachers from other schools” and those hastily purchased snacks were not sacrificed in vain.

    Finally the two directors left their phone numbers for Jiang Qin.

    It’s said that a wild goose plucks hair although the plucked were only two strings of numbers with these two strings the room for future maneuver was much larger.

    Whether it was renting milk tea shops or approving event procedures at least they found a way in.

    Doing business is like this even with gifts you have to find a way to give it to people who can really help you for it to be useful. If given to the wrong person it’s completely wasted.

    “This Jiang Qin from your school doesn’t seem like a student at all. His methods are extremely seasoned.”

    After leaving the entrepreneurship base Sun Chunming from University of Technology couldn’t help but sigh but felt a little regretful.

    He indeed felt that he gained a lot from this Linchuan University trip but this kind of gain couldn’t be transformed into experience.

    Why?

    Because anyone could see that no matter the project or team the most core existence was Jiang Qin.

    To put it bluntly unless you could casually find someone like Jiang Qin this team’s experience and development method couldn’t be replicated at all.

    “Some people dare to think some dare to do but those who dare to think and do and can actually do it are no ordinary people.”

    Director Li from Normal University also had his own insights but most were appreciation for Jiang Qin.

    “Jiang Qin is indeed a talent with a good brain.” Zhang Boqing smiled slightly.

    Yan Lu couldn’t help but say: “Senior Brother Jiang is more professional than any college entrepreneur I’ve seen.”

    “He’s a freshman this year.”

    Yan Lu: “…”

    Zhang Boqing was puzzled: “It should be written clearly in the newspaper right?”

    Yan Lu was stunned for a long time before coming to her senses: “I thought it was another embellished promotion without substance and didn’t read carefully but a freshman is too ridiculous right?”

    “Not ridiculous. Our Linchuan University has many such students and Jiang Qin is just one of them.”

    “Really?” Yan Lu felt very shocked.

    “Of course it’s true.”

    Zhang Boqing inexplicably felt great so he decided to also approve the air conditioner 208 applied for last time as a reward for showing their faces this time.

    After sending off the study group 208 once again devoted themselves to preparing for the dorm hoarding festival.

    The tech team began to intensify making the event page while the content team started a new round of warm-up on the forum.

    : Jiang Qin sat in the boss chair reflecting on his performance today feeling a bit satisfied.

    He had thought from the beginning to grab both promotion and monetization. Now with group buying starting successfully the monetization tool could be considered officially in operation so the follow-up promotional work couldn’t fall behind.

    Being able to get Sun Chunming and Li Hua’s phone numbers the promotional work could be considered to have made a tiny bit of small progress.

    “Jiang Qin why are you still laying a red carpet in the hallway celebrating a holiday?”

    Professor Yan didn’t come in the morning and didn’t see the study group. Walking into 208 now his expression looked a little puzzled.

    “It’s like this professor. A study group from another school came at noon. That was to welcome them. I’ll put it away in a bit.”

    Jiang Qin stood up quickly taking the coat draped on Professor Yan’s chair.

    “When your project is promoted later it will attract more people to visit. Inside and out there will be lots of social engagements which is the downside of a society based on favors.”

    Professor Yan spoke while sitting down unbuttoning his coat reaching for the tea canister to brew tea but the moment he picked it up his hand couldn’t help but stiffen.

    Hmm?

    Rustle rustle–

    Professor Yan shook it a little his eyes flashing opening the lid and glancing inside.

    Damn where’s my tea?!

    Professor Yan was stunned for a moment suddenly understanding looking up at Jiang Qin but the boss chair opposite was already empty.

    Hehe damn it the downsides of a society based on favors all fell on my tea huh?

    At the same time Jiang Qin drove out of Linchuan University thinking that was close almost caught red-handed by Professor Yan.

    No one in 208 drank tea but in order to entertain those directors and teachers from the study group he had to borrow some from Wei Lanlan and didn’t have time to sneakily buy more to make up for it exposing the secret.

    It’s fine it’s fine. Buy some more expensive high-end ones to return in the afternoon. Professor Yan likely won’t refuse.

    He drove all the way to Wanzhong Mall in the city center.

    Group buying had been online for four days but the order volume from Wanzhong Mall had always been half-dead. This “dorm hoarding festival” besides pulling in new user registrations actually also involved Wanzhong Mall to some extent. He planned to communicate with Manager Yue first and test her attitude.

    Doing a B2C platform his goal was not only to satisfy users’ necessary purchasing desires. To a certain extent he also wanted to develop users’ non-essential purchasing desires.

    Just like some girls always have some clothes in their closet that they bought several years ago but haven’t even removed the tags.

    These clothes with tags are actually “non-essential purchases”.

    To develop this he first had to revitalize the mall section of the group buying platform.

    After contacting Yue Zhu the two met in the first floor lobby of Wanzhong Mall.

    “President Jiang long time no see.”

    Yue Zhu wore a black suit with wide-leg pants and a pair of seven-inch high heels completely dressed like an elite woman.

    “Long time no see Manager Yue.”

    Jiang Qin reached out to shake hands politely responding.

    “The ads on the forum have had a pretty good effect. Recently a large batch of customer traffic for the mall’s seasonal promotions are students. If the situation is good later we plan to continue increasing placement.”

    “Then you’re certainly welcome.”

    Jiang Qin followed Yue Zhu around the mall for a lap but didn’t hear her mention anything about group buying.

    Actually this was very understandable because no matter if it was President He or Yue Zhu they actually weren’t optimistic about group buying. The reason they agreed to enter the platform was actually because of the 50000 yuan advertising fee discount.

    As long as the ads could bring offline traffic whether it could sell goods online they felt was irrelevant. After all they didn’t have hope from the start so they wouldn’t feel disappointed.

    “President Jiang we probably haven’t met face-to-face many times but I’ve always had a deep impression of you.” Yue Zhu said while walking the corners of her mouth curled in a faint smile.

    Jiang Qin couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow: “Why is that?”

    “In my many years of work it’s the first time I was tricked in front of my boss. Thinking about it now I still feel a bit terrified that I lost face.”

    Jiang Qin laughed dryly: “Those were just a few little negotiation techniques I learned from books.”

    Yue Zhu turned to look at Jiang Qin hesitating for a while before speaking: “President Jiang can you trick me again?”

    “?”

    Jiang Qin had a confused look: “I’ve never heard such a ridiculous request.”

    “I mainly want to test if I can guard against verbal traps to avoid falling for them next time.”

    “Sorry I never trick people.”

    Yue Zhu froze for a moment: “President Jiang is really amazing. Sure enough as soon as you open your mouth you start tricking people.”

    “?????”

    Jiang Qin thought what’s with this girl? She doesn’t think every eleven out of ten of my words are false right? I’m an upright gentleman okay?

    But before he could retort his steps suddenly stopped attracted by a product placed on the shelf.

    Their current location was the second floor of Wanzhong Mall the appliance area. All kinds of dazzling household appliances were available from small shavers to large TVs nothing was missing.

    “This electric pot looks quite nice.”

    “Ah?”

    Jiang Qin walked to the appliance shelf pointing at a large-caliber electric pot his eyes showing an appreciative expression: “It’s really nice. So big and round. Eating hotpot with this must feel great right?”

    Yue Zhu froze for a moment then had someone take one down from the shelf: “President Jiang if you like it take it. It’s not expensive but I hope you won’t raise the advertising fees next time.”

    “Forget it forget it it’s not appropriate.” Jiang Qin quickly waved his hand to refuse.

    Yue Zhu insisted on gifting it: “President Jiang take it don’t stand on ceremony it’s just an electric pot.”

    “Alright then I’ll respectfully accept.” Jiang Qin smacked his lips silent for a while before speaking “Do you have split pots? Change one for me.”
