Chapter 235: Winning Four Times Is a Win-Win

The group-buy team currently has a complete business structure. Since internet projects have no spatial limitations the core team can work from anywhere without needing to relocate entirely.

Keeping the core team on campus is more conducive to future stealth development and Jiang Qin’s overall control.

As a good student who loves attending class he can’t come here every day to supervise business progress.

Therefore only two departments will be set up in this top-floor office at Wanzhong Mall.

One is the publicity department responsible for advertising planning and marketing promotion. The other is the business department handling cooperation negotiations and customer relations.

Schools and society are different with distinct focuses for targeted marketing.

No information barriers exist between students allowing event-based mass flow conversion like the campus beauty pageant. But social traffic is obviously more scattered and diverse not easily guided on a large scale.

The pageant’s draw method clearly can’t be used for citywide promotion.

You can’t go around selecting residential area queens CBD goddesses or square dance empresses right?

That’s too unrealistic time-consuming and laborious. Besides exciting Guo Zihang it’s useless.

Zhihu’s user pool is more suited to college students. Once entering society many things become uncontrollable.

Under these circumstances Jiang Qin will scrap the pageant and Zhihu funneling focusing on professional marketing planning for the most basic group-buy promotion.

Group-buy faces a more complex environment in society. Even with Jiang Qin’s capabilities he’ll have trouble being everywhere at once. Establishing a business department is imperative.

This department mainly handles various cooperation negotiations and messy docking work like the student union’s external relations department. Its roles are scattered but indispensable.

Keeping the heart in university while placing publicity and business downtown with distinct duties is currently the most suitable development model for group-buy. It’s what Jiang Qin hasd since winter break.

“Lanlan come here for a moment.”

“What is it boss?” Wei Lanlan walked over from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jiang Qin pointed to Yue Zhu standing behind: “Manager Yue will be my administrative secretary here from now on. Your job duties are similar with overlapping work so communicate more in the future.”

“Sure thing boss. Manager Yue I look forward to working with you.”

Yue Zhu smiled slightly shaking Wei Lanlan’s hand: “Hope we have a pleasant cooperation Supervisor Wei.”

“I don’t dare claim the supervisor title. Just call me Lanlan.”

“Then you can call me Yue Zhu or Sister Yue.”

After introducing them Jiang Qin waved again: “Tan Qing come here too.”

“I’m here boss.”

“Go discuss with HR Manager Bao about the group-buy in-store business. Explain it clearly then discuss a specific recruitment plan together for us to review.”

Tan Qing nodded: “Alright boss.”

“Okay disperse and take action.”

Jiang Qin waved for them to leave. He saw a few workers struggling to lift a pane of glass so he immediately went to help kicking open the footstool behind.

After leaning the glass against the wall he patted off the dust on his clothes. Casually taking out a pack of Chunghwa he handed out a few cigarettes then turned to He Yijun’s office.

“Kid you’ve got guts. Not only taking my office but also borrowing Yue Zhu and Bao Wenping?”

Old He pulled a long face upon seeing him looking like Zhong Kui.

“Director He let’s not stand on ceremony. I’m just doing what I should.”

He Yijun felt powerless to retort: “Your academic star title definitely has a shady origin. I’ve never seen a good student like you before.”

Jiang Qin laughed: “Let me just ask you one thing. Is my reform reference manual useful?”

“The manual…is indeed very useful.”

“Then that’s that. A win-win for both of us.”

He Yijun glanced at him: “I only won once but you won three times.”

“How did I win so much?” Jiang Qin himself didn’t know.

“Taking my office poaching my employees and damn borrowing my renovation team. Isn’t that a triple win?”

“No definitely not a triple win. Don’t slander me.”

He Yijun sneered thinking arguing is pointless. I didn’t say I won’t let you win. As long as it brings tangible benefits to Wanzhong I can tolerate you winning three times.

But as he smiled Old He suddenly felt uneasy his grin instantly fading. Wait a minute.

He said it’s not a triple win but didn’t say it’s only a double win. This isn’t quibbling because he very likely wants to win again.

He Yijun instantly raised his guard racking his brain but still couldn’t figure out where else Jiang Qin could gain an advantage.

“Oh right Director He I went downstairs for a stroll earlier and found a small issue with the third-floor dining area. But I forgot when writing the manual.”

He Yijun glanced at him: “Your reference manual is already very clear. What other issue could there be?”

Jiang Qin put down his teacup: “I’ll tell you directly.”

“No I won’t listen.”

“?????”

He Yijun refused to listen no matter what because he understood the other party’s trick. Point out a problem create demand reveal ambition achieve a goal.

See this dog is about to bring up an issue. He definitely wants to gain something again.

To guard against Jiang Qin the best method is to not listen to him talk. Otherwise you can’t distinguish which sentence has a trap.

If Cao Guangyu were here upon hearing He Yijun’s realization he would certainly exclaim insider.

“I’ll say it even if you don’t listen. Your third floor is all restaurants with a wide variety of choices. But it lacks a place to grab a drink like a milk tea shop.”

He Yijun was stunned upon hearing this: “Not having a milk tea shop counts as an issue?”

“Director He don’t underestimate milk tea shops. I predict the milk tea economy will inevitably thrive in the future. A milk tea shop can bring in no less traffic than a hotpot restaurant. Most importantly your mall is so big that browsing it is tiring. What if customers get thirsty? No milk tea shop greatly impacts the customer experience.”

“Makes some sense…”

Jiang Qin smiled slightly: “Actually our Linchuan University has an excellent milk tea shop. Their signature taro flavor is all the rage on campus. I’m quite familiar with the shop owner. If you’re interested I can help connect you two.”

Once vigilant people will feel everything is off as if he still wants to win a fourth time.

“You’re making this connection for me. What do you want me to pay in return? Let me tell you upfront there are milk tea shops all over the street. I can move any one here. If you make an outrageous demand don’t blame me for turning hostile.”

“Director He you’re too much. Did I steal your chicken? Why are you so on guard against me?” Jiang Qin looked displeased.

He Yijun took a sip of tea: “I still remember a saying you told me before. ‘No profit no early rise dark deeds have causes.’ I thought you were joking but now I get it. Damn you grew up according to those ten words.”

Jiang Qin waved his hand decisively: “Rest assured. This time it’s a pure gift.”

“Fine then. Let me know when you have time. I’ll meet their boss face-to-face.”

Early the next morning He Yijun was drinking tea carefully studying the second half of Jiang Qin’s reform reference manual looking quite relaxed.

He Manqi sat across from him huffing and puffing as she did review problems.

His daughter doesn’t like coming to the mall much especially on weekends preferring to sleep in at home. But today she insisted on coming making Old He very happy.

But before he could finish a pot of tea He Yijun heard a knocking at the door.

Opening it he discovered Jiang Qin had come again even bringing his girlfriend the girl who said his villa was small last time.

“Director He let me introduce you. This is the owner of Xitian Milk Tea Shop Ms. Feng Nanshu.”

The little rich girl looked at Jiang Qin blankly her eyes full of confusion.

He Yijun opened his mouth but before he could speak he saw his own daughter run over cheerfully calling out Sister Nanshu affectionately.

He understood. Turns out the milk tea shop Jiang Qin mentioned was the fourth time he wanted to win.

Damn this mall is almost completely taking on his form.

“Director He why aren’t you happy to see me?”

“CEO Jiang don’t forget about Old He when you strike it rich in the future.” He Yijun said gloomily.

Jiang Qin shook his head: “I didn’t come to do business today. It’s for Feng Nanshu to teach Manqi her efficient high school study method.”

“Really?” He Yijun found it a bit hard to believe.

“Of course it’s real. Otherwise why would I have Manqi wait here? You think I’m the kind of bad person who takes without giving?”

He Yijun felt a little touched but also felt Jiang Qin didn’t deserve it. He experienced this feeling for the first time finding it quite intriguing.

“I’ve heard of many study methods before. But do they work?” He Yijun poured him a glass of water.

Jiang Qin thought for a moment then shook his head: “Study methods are just assistive tools. The most important thing is still her own willingness to learn attentively.”

“Then isn’t it useless.”

“But she admires Feng Nanshu. Thinking it’s a study method taught by Sister Nanshu she’ll definitely utilize it well. She’ll firmly believe the method is very effective. You know what’s most discouraging when studying?”

He Yijun was stunned: “I don’t know.”

Jiang Qin pursed his lips: “The most tiring part of studying is putting in effort but never getting results. Many people feel working hard is useless so they completely give up. Belief is most crucial. This method is ineffective taught by others. It only works if Feng Nanshu personally teaches. Why else would I bring her?”

“Didn’t you bring her to snag a milk tea shop?”

“Hm? My intentions are that obvious?”
