Chapter 245: The Situation is Looking Great

As the sports meet ended the temperature in Linchuan began to rise and the feeling of summer quietly arrived. Some female college students on campus had already started showing off their legs looking slender and beautiful an endless feast for the eyes.

Every time after finishing breakfast Jiang Qin would linger at the cafeteria entrance for a while appreciating the beautiful legs before starting his day’s activities.

Work meetings listening to reports writing plans doing planning browsing the news.

Of course he also had to squeeze in some time to go learn.

During this time group-buy service had already completed two rounds of hunger marketing.

The so-called hunger marketing was strictly controlling the quantity of discount coupons and package deals creating an atmosphere of missing out if you were one second late to stimulate everyone’s enthusiasm for snatching coupons every day.

Moreover Lu Feiyu kept posting on the Zhihu forum doing large-scale user lucky draws not even 60% off directly eating for free successfully giving group-buy the feeling of fighting over eggs at a vegetable market.

“Group-buy invites you to eat Winner #1: Gao Wenhui Finance School Linchuan University.”

“Phone: 135*******25”

“Group-buy invites you to eat Winner #2: Guo Zihang Computer Department Sci-Tech University.”

“Phone: 178*******63”

“Group-buy invites you to eat Winner #3: Yu Shasha Media Department University of Technology.”

“Phone: 152******48”

After the winners were announced the entire forum topic was filled with wow’s.

“Look someone really won! I’m joining too!”

“I have the best luck I’ll definitely win next round.”

“Brothers I figured out the winning pattern I’ll win one tomorrow to show you!”

So after a barrage of combination punches snatching coupons and group-buy freebies became the hottest topic across the four major universities.

For this Jiang Qin even had leaders at each university set up QQ welfare groups coordinating with the website for snatching coupons countdowns.

Before long the entire university district market had taken Jiang Qin’s shape stabbing wherever he said to stab spending money wherever he said to spend.

Of course snatching coupons was just the first step of the entire monetization process real complete monetization still required in-store redemption.

This also brought waves of business peaks for the large number of partnering merchants whenever Jiang Qin targeted a merchant that merchant was bound to experience surging highs and endless moans.

The surging highs were because there were too many customers it was scary to even look at.

The moans were from the sore backs from the high-intensity business operations truly painfully happy.

Among these merchants the one benefiting the most was actually He Yijun’s Wanzhong Mall because the mall’s reforms were nearing completion returning with a brand new look it was currently eagerly awaiting ready to be fed and what it needed most right now was traffic.

College students with coupons came every day gathering every day even if the profit wasn’t much after the 60% discount the resulting prosperity was undoubtedly the best marketing advertisement.

Even ants moving on the street could make people watch for a while with college students pouring into the mall every day who wouldn’t join in on the excitement.

So in just five days Wanzhong quickly became popular in the nearby commercial district because there were too many young urban white-collars here and a comprehensive shopping mall was a heaven for young people to begin with.

The situation was looking great.

Wednesday morning the sun dyed the clouds on the horizon a sheet of orange-red but the clouds couldn’t contain the morning rays so dazzling golden dawn light spilled out enchantingly beautiful.

Jiang Qin got up very early first doing a set of side crunches then a set of lying leg raises.

“Fuck Old Jiang what are you doing? Exercising?”

“It’s nothing you’re hallucinating keep sleeping deep breaths deep breaths feeling dizzy is normal.”

Jiang Qin walked over placing his hand over Old Cao’s eyes then changed clothes and left the dorm bringing Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing along Xinghong Avenue all the way to Wanzhong Mall.

Although it wasn’t a weekend or a peak shopping period there were still people shopping in the mall which already said a lot.

After half a year Wanzhong Mall had finally completed its rebirth and returned in a glorious fashion.

“Hello President Jiang Manager Wei Manager Tan.”

At the service desk on the first floor of Wanzhong a pretty girl in a professional skirt waved her hand warmly revealing two dimples with a slight smile.

This receptionist was Yue Zhu’s cousin quite an outgoing personality always greeting Jiang Qin when she saw him.

“Jing Jing you’ve become even prettier recently?”

“President Jiang you really know how to compliment.”

Jiang Qin grinned feeling that occasionally teasing a young girl could indeed give a wonderful mood.

But this depended on the person it was okay when bringing Wei Lanlan Tan Qing Dong Wenhao and them but not when bringing Su Nai because every time Su Nai would ask do you believe the boss’s wife will break your bootlicking leg.

Damn female programmers were just direct and violent.

But Su Nai happened to be a treasure of a programmer they really couldn’t do without her so Boss Jiang had to swallow his anger each time.

Jiang Qin withdrew his smile bringing Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing to the third floor stopping at the entrance of the Xitian Milk Tea Shop next to the hot pot restaurant.

This storefront was renovated along with the office on the top floor and was now fully equipped ready to open for business at any time.

Fang Xiaoxuan had also been transferred over from the University of Technology in charge of the operations and training for this store she was now Xitian’s brand manager and training lecturer getting a percentage from the milk tea shops she managed each month.

Although the percentage of these cuts wasn’t much the marketing volume was high so the monthly salary was particularly attractive.

Thinking back to this time last year she was still doing scattered part-time jobs every time a short-term job ended she had to consider how many days the remaining money could last completely incomparable to now.

“Boss you’re here?”

“Mm how are the preparations?”

“We can open for business right away.”

“Did you read the few books I recommended last time?”

Fang Xiaoxuan nodded: “Reading them but they’re a bit hard to understand.”

Jiang Qin smiled slightly: “It’s fine knowledge has a lag as you encounter things in the future you’ll slowly understand in the future we want to expand Xitian nationwide you need to study hard so you don’t fall behind.”

“Okay boss I will work hard for sure.”

“Alright then you go ahead we’ll go take a look upstairs.”

Wei Lanlan followed behind Jiang Qin unable to resist her curiosity: “Boss what books did you recommend to Xiaoxuan?”

Jiang Qin pressed the elevator floor button: “Some books on business public speaking and management nothing famous just the most basic kind.”

“Can Xiaoxuan understand them?”

“Even if she can’t understand she has to read wanting to not be eliminated by this world learning is a must what capitalists are best at is abandoning a person I also want to become a capitalist but I don’t want to give up on anyone Xiaoxuan works very hard your boss’s wife likes her very much I don’t want her to fall behind.”

Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing exchanged glances nodding thoughtfully.

Two minutes later the three of them took the elevator to the top floor pushing open the office door glancing inside the brand new desks and chairs had been fully set up all pure white with a few large unopened boxes stacked around.

The boxes contained printers cabinet air conditioners water dispensers computers and even a household treadmill.

Most of the items here were inventory found in the Wanzhong Mall warehouse although the models were a bit old the good thing was they were all brand new taking a little advantage.

“This office…feels even better than our 208.” Wei Lanlan was a bit envious.

Jiang Qin turned his head to glance at her: “After graduation you can come directly I’ll have you be the executive manager by then we may have an even bigger office.”

Wei Lanlan’s eyes instantly lit up: “Really? Then I won’t take the graduate school exam Boss you must keep your word when you graduate I’ll still be your secretary.”

Her family circumstances weren’t good to begin with otherwise she wouldn’t have become a core member of Linchuan University’s part-time society her family actually didn’t really support her taking the graduate school exam hoping more that she could work after graduation to ease the family burden.

Jiang Qin nodded: “You can work and take the graduate school exam at the same time even have a kid when you’re free the company will reimburse you but reimbursement is reimbursement you’ll have to sign an indentured contract.”

“Boss if you say it like that I can just sell myself to you.” Wei Lanlan was seriously not joking.

“Then sell selling to me is better than selling to outsiders as for the people in 208 I’ll buy every single one of you as long as you’re willing to sell.”

Tan Qing immediately raised her hand after hearing this: “Can I?”

Jiang Qin nodded without hesitation: “Those who participated in the project’s creation or are managers of each campus all can the most important thing in the 21st century is talent I just like recruiting talent.”

“Boss are you praising us as talent?”

“What else?”

Just as they were talking Yue Zhu who had received notification from the front desk had already arrived at the office door: “President Jiang why didn’t you inform me when you arrived?”

Jiang Qin grinned: “Wanzhong is practically my home I can find my way with my eyes closed no need to receive me anymore.”

“That’s true…”

“But don’t say this to Old He if he hears he’ll probably scold me as a dog again.”

Yue Zhu chuckled then said solemnly: “The interviewees have arrived Manager Bao asked me to come get you.”

Jiang Qin nodded: “Lanlan and Tanqing come along too experience a real interview.”

“Okay boss.”

The interviews officially began but the ones leading the interviews were still Bao Wenping and Yue Zhu Jiang Qin just sat on the side watching without saying a word.

But many veteran interviewees could tell that after each interview the main interviewer would push the resume next to that young man waiting for that person to nod before giving the result of keeping or not.

Veteran interviewee: This person is expressionless he must be extraordinary.

Jiang Qin: I’m fucking expressionless I must be devastatingly handsome.

Just like this from morning to afternoon a total of eighteen people passed the interviews twelve for the marketing planning department and six for the business department.

To be honest this number wasn’t a lot but for Jiang Qin it was enough for now they could slowly add manpower later and the most important thing at present was to take the step in promotion.
