Chapter 172: The Boss’s Special Instructions

The next morning the weather was sunny and mild.

Jiang Qin changed clothes and headed out bringing a few core members of 208 Dong Wenhao Su Nai Lu Xuemei and Wei Lanlan to Linchuan University of Science and Technology.

“Boss are we going to promote group buying?”

Jiang Qin grunted and added “Just going to do some preliminary work the actual promotion will start around New Year’s Day.”

Su Nai watched Jiang Qin focusing on driving and didn’t disturb him anymore but couldn’t help starting to whisper with Wei Lanlan beside her.

“The boss is really a workaholic the group buying side has just stabilized and he’s immediately going for the next goal.”

“You just found out?”

“I’m just curious doesn’t he need to take time to accompany the boss’s wife?”

“Christmas Eve and Christmas are coming up in a few days the boss must have plans the boss’s wife will be doted on to no end.”

Jiang Qin heard the laughter in the back and frowned slightly “What are you chatting about? Is there something I can’t hear?”

“We’re talking about how to work hard today.” Su Nai collected her smile and replied seriously.

“So enthusiastic Su Nai you’re really my good employee later I’ll assign you a bit more work to do.”

Jiang Qin ignored Su Nai’s dragon roar happily raised the corners of his mouth and slowly drove the car into the University of Science and Technology then stopped at the entrance of Xitian.

Then Wei Lanlan and Lu Xuemei were divided into one group Dong Wenhao and Su Nai into another group and Jiang Qin in his own group dispersing on the spot.

Wei Lanlan and Lu Xuemei’s task was to have nearby merchants sign contracts and conduct delivery training.

This included order verification goods handover and amount accounting.

Regarding these three aspects group buying had its own standard process which Jiang Qin had set from the beginning and Linchuan University was now following this standard.

And as the business fully expanded this standard process needed to continue to be used and also be supplemented at any time.

Otherwise there would definitely be all kinds of unexpected troubles in the later stage and it would be useless to make regulations at that time.

“Why should the merchants be responsible for missing order compensation?”

“This is company policy we hold the first responsible person accountable so we hope you can be more careful with your picking of course our riders will also check the goods when receiving them a dual process to ensure it generally there won’t be missing orders.”

“What if it’s a runaway order?”

“During the promotional period if there are runaways or losses the company will handle it according to the regulations this is the handling details please take a look.”

“Can the settlement time at the beginning of the next month be changed? We restock in the middle of the month so we have to advance the payment for half a month.”

“According to company regulations all merchants must settle accounts according to a unified time.”

After a round of visits Wei Lanlan recited the “company regulations” countless times from Jiang Qin’s prepared speech draft and couldn’t help but feel her mouth was dry and tongue-tied almost not recognizing these four words anymore.

Some merchants were not satisfied with the group buying “company regulations” thinking they were too strict and unreasonable they hoped to gain more rights and be exempt from all due obligations.

Whenever this happened Wei Lanlan would take out the sales data from Linchuan University’s trial run for them to see.

The boss of the University of Science and Technology stationery store directly stamped his handprint after seeing the sales data of the Linchuan University stationery store in December without saying anything more.

Nonsense is just nonsense money is the real deal.

People are sometimes just that realistic.

After leaving the stationery store Wei Lanlan took a deep breath unscrewed the bottle cap and took two sips of water to moisten her throat.

“The boss’s rules feel like a one-size-fits-all approach with all kinds of details strictly regulated.”

Lu Xuemei couldn’t help but express her feelings.

“The boss said when company regulations become industry truths there will be much fewer troubles in the future no one will ask why all day and no one will ask what for all day because we’ve had the rules for a long time and the rules are the reason.”

Wei Lanlan repeated what Jiang Qin had told her.

“Can it really achieve this effect?”

“There’s an idiom called ‘conventionality’ which is actually this principle the boss said strict rules may seem more harmful than good now but he is laying the groundwork for the future standardized processes are the first step to grow big and strong.”

Lu Xuemei blinked thoughtfully “First set all the rules that can be set otherwise even small problems will become big problems when the scale expands?”

“That’s right.”

“But isn’t it too tiring to run from house to house? Can’t we call them together and sign contracts together?”

Wei Lanlan shook her head “He also specifically instructed about this once the merchants unite they easily become greedy one person making a fuss may have countless people echoing at that time even taking out the sales table will be useless especially when encountering stubborn people emotions are the easiest to incite so we must talk to each family.”

Lu Xuemei understood “What about the training? Any special instructions?”

“The boss said training can be conducted together anyway the contracts are all signed so we don’t have to worry about merchants changing their minds at the last minute.”

“It feels like he has rehearsed the process of everything thousands of times in his mind and we are just tools to execute tasks especially special instructions can always be used.”

“Dong Wenhao said something to me a few days ago.”

“What did he say?”

“Some paths when the boss leads us are paths but if we walk them ourselves one step is a pit.”

At the same time Dong Wenhao and Su Nai went to 502 gathered all the part-time students for a meeting and assigned the upcoming tasks.

University of Science and Technology was different from Linchuan University it was a branch and many things were more difficult to operate.

The transmission of information was also difficult to be as timely and accurate as Linchuan University.

Especially during promotional activities when everyone was busy the delay in information exchange would be more serious.

So according to Jiang Qin’s request Dong Wenhao and Su Nai had to select a supervisor and deputy supervisor from among them to take full charge and directly connect with Jiang Qin.

Lai Cunqing who was assigned to the market group in the early stage performed well not only was he steady in character but also had technical experience.

Ding Qiaona from the content group was also good quick-witted had many ideas and knew how to adapt.

After discussing it Su Nai and Dong Wenhao listed the two as candidates ready to submit to Jiang Qin for a decision.

At this time Jiang Qin was in Zhang Mingan’s office signing a work-study agreement with group buying as the main body a joint agreement with the school and a bunch of third-party agreements.

“Director there are too many agreements right? My fingerprints are going to be worn off.”

“You came over as an entrepreneurial college student from another school each agreement has to be signed three times and a bunch of supplementary agreements have to be signed what can I do?”

Jiang Qin wiped his fingertips “Is there anything else to sign?”

Zhang Mingan threw over another stack “Sign slowly there’s plenty we’re not short.”

The corner of Jiang Qin’s mouth twitched “Can’t we simplify the process a bit?”

“You can go register a company public to public the process will be reduced by at least half.” Zhang Mingan gave a good suggestion.

Jiang Qin looked at the agreements in front of him with a big headache “Can we take out the staples reorder them into one set and I’ll sign them together?”

Zhang Mingan glanced at him “Of course not these agreements belong to different departments for management what do you mean by reordering them into one set?”

“I remember I didn’t sign this many when I came to promote the forum last time right?”

“That…that’s because Director Hu had a bias against group buying you signing a few more gives him peace of mind.”

After finishing his words Zhang Mingan picked up his teacup and took a sip.

In fact Hu Maolin had already given him full authority to handle matters with Jiang Qin but he also had no bottom in his heart so he found all kinds of messy agreements.

This thing is not afraid of more just afraid of not being able to explain it clearly later.

But Zhang Mingan was definitely not distrusting Jiang Qin but had personally seen how miserably the previous group buying had died.

“Go register a company when you have time.”

Jiang Qin finished signing the agreement put down the pen said goodbye to Zhang Mingan and left the school office.

Wei Lanlan and Lu Xuemei had already returned Dong Wenhao and Su Nai had also finished the meeting the few people returned to Xitian drinking milk tea while reporting progress to Jiang Qin.

There was not much to say on Wei Lanlan’s side because the agreement was standardized and the regulations were set in stone as long as it was signed it was fine now the only variable was who would serve as the supervisor and deputy supervisor on the University of Science and Technology side.

“I think Lai Cunqing is good he was one of the first batch of employees and does things very solidly.”

“But I think Ding Qiaona is good she has strong coordination and adaptability.”

Dong Wenhao pondered for a moment “Ding Qiaona is indeed good but she has too many ideas I’m afraid it will affect the promotion rhythm.”

“That’s true but can Lai Cunqing support the University of Science and Technology market by himself?” Su Nai had doubts.

“Boss what do you think?”

At this time Jiang Qin was holding his phone chatting with Feng Nanshu on QQ.

The little rich girl said slippery Jiang Qin said not slippery the two had already pulled back and forth several rounds evenly matched with no distinction between high and low.

Until Feng Nanshu’s brother started spamming the scene began to change overwhelmingly.

This girl was getting more and more skilled now whining to no end and it was high-level whining.

It was the kind that was extremely cold one second and chasing after you calling brother the next second it was really hard to resist.

Through the screen this killing power was still small if she really whined in person Jiang Qin couldn’t imagine how he would resist.

This was all Ding Xue’s fault he had to find a way to get it back from Cao Guangyu and let them know what it meant to have an evil heart.

“Boss?”

“Let Lai Cunqing be the supervisor and Ding Qiaona be the deputy supervisor.”

Jiang Qin put away his phone and made the final decision ending the entire discussion.

Group buying’s second stop sought stability not speed from the current point of view Lai Cunqing’s style of acting was the most suitable.

Ding Qiaona had many ideas and a quick mind but it wouldn’t play a big role during the promotion period and might even cause obstacles.

Just as Wei Lanlan said at this stage Jiang Qin only needed his subordinates to be a tool that could perfectly execute tasks without any distracting thoughts.

Of course once the market stabilized those mentally agile employees would naturally have great use.
