Chapter 229: He Seems to Want to Scam Me?

After the celebratory feast the part-time work at the four universities entered a routine stage no longer as busy and chaotic as during the competition but more focused on details.

Such as after-sales service issues various small promotions and discounts as well as maintaining the merchant group.

As the terminal of the entire chain Room 208 received all kinds of feedback every day with work focus gradually shifting to business optimization.

However these tasks were very simple not requiring Jiang Qin’s control he was currently busy with establishing the company.

The next morning the weather was slightly gloomy with howling wind blowing a bit of chill through the window cracks looking like it would be another day of endless spring rain.

After getting up and washing up Jiang Qin patted the bed frame waking Cao Guangyu from his dreams.

“What’s up Jiang?” Cao Guangyu emerged from the covers rubbing his eyes.

“Nothing just feeling it’s unfair I have to get up early every day while you can sleep in blissfully in the dorm making me uncomfortable.”

Hearing this Cao Guangyu was instantly stunned “Fuck Jiang you’re really a dog the money you earn from getting up early isn’t shared with me!”

Jiang Qin tilted his mouth striking a flamboyant pose as he left Room 302 getting a morning of joy.

Seeing this scene Old Cao sat on the bed in silence for five seconds then started shaking the bed until he woke up Ren Ziqiang only then feeling a bit more balanced.

“What’s wrong Brother Cao?”

“Nothing go back to sleep just treat it as a dream waking up is still very moving.”

“?????”

Ren Ziqiang was completely baffled thinking what the fuck am I moved by you woke me up then tell me to go back to sleep? What bullshit operation is this.

At 7:30 Jiang Qin finished breakfast in the cafeteria then came to Zhang Boqing’s office and told him about establishing the company.

For Linchuan University this was truly a good thing.

Because it meant that with Linchuan University’s support the college students’ entrepreneurial project had reached a new stage school leaders would of course fully support it.

It’s just that Zhang Boqing was a bit surprised this kid’s actions were so swift.

The promotions at the University of Technology and Normal University had just ended right and he was already busy registering the company not even stopping to catch his breath?

“Kid you earned so much money your first thought shouldn’t be to spend lavishly?”

Jiang Qin frowned “Of course after making money you make even more what’s the point of spending it?”

Zhang Boqing was silent for a moment thinking damn impressive “Tell me what do you need the school to do for you?”

“Just help me provide a written certificate stating Linchuan University supports my entrepreneurship and proves I have registration qualifications then stamp it with the official seal thank you Dean.”

Zhang Boqing didn’t waste words directly getting him a copy then said “In the second half of this year the city has an internet entrepreneurship exchange summit I plan to recommend you as the college student entrepreneurship representative what do you think?”

Jiang Qin was silent for a moment then shook his head “Dean I feel it’s not quite appropriate now could we wait a bit longer?”

“Why?”

“You see I’m making such a grand show of force but I’ve been at it for a year without really making much money going would be purely embarrassing.”

Zhang Boqing glanced at him “How much money have you made?”

Jiang Qin pursed the corner of his mouth “Only 450,000 yuan.”

“450,000 is still little? Among Linchuan University’s entrepreneurship projects yours already has very strong profitability!”

Jiang Qin was stunned thinking I directly cut off a zero and it’s still the most profitable Linchuan University’s other entrepreneurship projects are that poor?

He coughed “Dean actually my initial investment alone was 1 million.”

“So you’re saying you’ve lost over 500,000?”

“Mm.”

Zhang Boqing didn’t believe him at all “You think I’m going senile?”

Jiang Qin smiled faintly “The group-buy turnover is indeed very large but we only earn a small portion they sell something for 1 yuan we can only get 10 cents the earned money is immediately used for promotions the actual amount is not much.”

“Then let’s talk again in August don’t be in a hurry to refuse I believe in your abilities four months is definitely enough for you to recoup your investment and profit.”

Zhang Boqing had no knowledge in the financial field and Jiang Qin’s project investment had no data to verify so he just casually believed him.

“Okay Dean I’ll work a bit harder definitely won’t let you and the school down.”

Jiang Qin picked up the written certificate and left the office.

He really didn’t want to participate in any summit for the same reason he didn’t want to become famous he wanted to lay low and develop not wanting others to see him lest he be targeted.

What’s a summit?

All kinds of capitalists have their eyes on it like cats wanting to sneak around once they target you they want to invest in you!

Don’t accept our investment? Fine then we’ll clone something similar let’s happily engage in a price war!

Then who will you complain to?

You should know the guns of capital are aimed at the birds that stick their heads out.

But Linchuan University had been supporting his entrepreneurship project all along actually wanting him to quickly become famous and bring honor to the school if you keep laying low unwilling to show your stuff Zhang Boqing would definitely be the first to object.

“It’s still early until August let’s talk then.”

“Damn if you can’t beat me can’t you join me?”

Jiang Qin took the written report and left the campus service center then sat on the flowerbed edge and started pondering the office problem.

College students could apply to have their registered address at the school when starting a business on campus but if that was the case then registering the company was meaningless.

Why?

Because the promotions in the university district were already completed all future business would be facing society that’s precisely why he wanted to establish a formal company.

Moreover later cross-city marketing required more professional staff and employees to have enough time based on these two points current college students were no longer suitable recruiting from society was necessary to meet business needs.

But meals needed to be eaten one bite at a time the employee issue could be put aside the current priority was to solve the office matter first.

“Seems like over half the office space on the top floor of Wanzhong Mall is empty?”

Jiang Qin squinted and thought for a while then drove straight to Wanzhong.

He didn’t call ahead but as soon as he entered the parking lot the security guard immediately reported upstairs then Wanzhong’s five managers excitedly ran to the parking lot.

“?”

“How did you all run here so fast encountering reform difficulties again?” Jiang Qin was a bit puzzled.

Zhao Zufeng immediately shook his head “According to the reform plan set by President Jiang the renovation work on all floors is currently showing initial results it’s just that we haven’t seen you for so long and miss you that’s all.”

“President Jiang have some water first.” Bao Wenping stepped forward and handed him a cup.

“What’s with these people acting so strange?”

Jiang Qin took the cup and drank a mouthful unable to understand why they would be so excitedly enthusiastic over there.

Actually the reason was very simple He Yijun in order to quickly see reform results was borrowing money and throwing it in the renovation speed was indeed fast enough but it also hurt the original business’ main artery.

To put it simply the new industry had just started with extremely poor profitability while the old industry had also been cut down losing stable income.

Under these circumstances their salaries were actually paid using the group-buy revenue.

In other words since the start of the violent reforms at the beginning of the year if it wasn’t for the strong group-buy business volume they might have had to delay paying salaries.

Delaying salaries this was fatal for the working class.

But going back half a year probably no one would have thought a 50,000 yuan partnership would become the pillar of the entire Wanzhong Mall during the reform period.

In this situation Jiang Qin was like a father.

“President Jiang the third floor reforms are now nearing the end let’s go directly to the third floor and take a look?”

“Okay then let’s go to the third floor.”

Very quickly under the entourage of the five managers Jiang Qin stepped onto the third floor.

The hot pot restaurant at the front of the escalator had already started operating with decent customer flow the food street area had also been divided up waiting for merchants to move in.

However this time Jiang Qin broke from his usual practice nitpicking at Wanzhong’s reform results.

For example unclear signage and guides unspecific floor positioning incomplete rest areas cookie-cutter store facades too serious without a sense of hierarchy.

Jiang Qin had a cold expression pointing here and there instantly making the five managers embarrassed frantically jotting down notes.

“President Jiang long time no see!”

Just as Jiang Qin was speaking He Yijun had rushed over upon hearing the news warmly shaking hands and enthusiastically greeting him “The online sales of the group-buy have helped us a lot you don’t know we’re even relying on the group-buy revenue to pay salaries now.”

Jiang Qin instantly understood where the five managers’ enthusiasm came from “President He you’re too kind business is about win-win you make money I make money nothing to thank.”

“What were you talking about just now?”

“President Jiang pointed out many detailed issues for us all things we hadn’t considered before.”

Zhao Zufeng repeated what Jiang Qin had just said instantly making He Yijun silent for a while.

To be honest he originally felt the mall’s reforms were already perfect enough but unexpectedly there would be so many deficiencies in the details.

“President Jiang then how should we correct them?”

Jiang Qin pursed the corner of his mouth “This is simple to say but troublesome to do mainly I don’t have time now I have other things to take care of later.”

He Yijun glanced at him “Need more money?”

“President He what kind of person do you take me for? I’m really very busy lately no time to come over and supervise if I had an office on the top floor of Wanzhong only a wall away from you guys I could solve any issues in passing but I really don’t have time to come over regularly.”

“Didn’t the promotions at the University of Technology and Normal University already end? How are you still so busy?” He Yijun didn’t quite understand.

“Me ah I’m busy looking for an office.”

“…”

Jiang Qin suddenly turned his head and glanced at him “Right President He got any leads? Help me find an office?”

He Yijun swallowed his saliva thinking he seems to want to scam me but I don’t seem to be able to refuse.
