Chapter 316: Linchuan Business Group’s First Cocktail Party

One’s impression of another person is not fixed. This impression often changes as the scope and channels of information received increase. Impressions at different stages may even be contradictory.

When you form completely opposite impressions of the same person, it’s easy to feel doubtful about life.

Qi Qi and Guan Wensi were now very much doubting life.

Their first impression of Jiang Qin came from the most intuitive visual sense. They felt his height was okay, but his appearance was only delicate, with an overall mediocre score.

The second impression came from Qi Qi’s pick-up line a few days ago. Jiang Qin’s performance was a bit arrogant, and he treated her like she was collecting garbage. So in addition to being mediocre, Jiang Qin also gained the label of being ordinary yet confident.

The third impression came from last night, when Jiang Qin rode an electric scooter past the girls’ dormitory. In Qi Qi and Guan Wensi’s eyes, he was “low”.

A man who is both low and mediocre, yet very confident – this was the specific image of Jiang Qin in Qi Qi and Guan Wensi’s minds.

Let’s just say, this kind of guy is really ordinary, right?

But Senior Jiang and Senior Song insisted on calling him the top male god of the School of Finance, and they wouldn’t allow any objections.

Student council president Tan Shipeng was so domineering when he appeared, shouting orders left and right, but when he saw Jiang Qin, he was all smiles, without any temper at all.

What they saw with their own eyes was completely opposite to the feedback they got from others. It was simply not the same person. So this feeling of a world of difference began to clash fiercely in their minds.

The person I know is so different from the one you all know. He’s clearly mediocre, but you all think he shines. Is it me who’s gone bad or is it this world that’s gone bad?

Qi Qi and Guan Wensi were full of questions and could only ask Senior Qian for answers.

But Senior Qian said he didn’t know either, and changed the subject in just a few sentences.

Just kidding, don’t you know why I’m friends with you? I’m not a gentleman, damn it. Do you think I want to establish a deep friendship with you? No way, I definitely want to date you.

But who is Jiang Qin?

He’s the first learning star of Linchuan University, a college entrepreneurship star, a young entrepreneur in Linchuan City, and the boss of Zhihu and Pintuan. To put it simply, he’s a man who exudes brilliance all over.

It’s said that even the top campus belle of Linchuan University can’t resist him, and the few girls in their class keep saying that it’s hard for the sea to become water after experiencing the vastness, and they look down more and more on the other boys around them.

I’ve told you all about him, describing him as brilliant and great. Would you still be interested in an ordinary senior like me?

Showing off another man in front of the girl I like? Come on, I’ve been in the student council for so long, who do you think I am, a fool?

Seeing Senior Qian shake his head, Qi Qi didn’t think much more about it. As a daughter of the sea, she would never be overly curious about boys. That would be too stupid, and there were plenty of good boys in college. Why focus on just one person?

In fact, it’s simple to find out exactly where Jiang Qin’s divinity lies. Just ask Jiang Tian or flip through last year’s school newspaper.

But it was precisely this attitude of seeing boys as prey that made Qi Qi, despite her curiosity, once again miss out on the true top male god of the School of Finance, Jiang “Tony Leung” Qin.

In Qi Qi’s view, so what if Jiang Qin is the president of the school student council? A man who is difficult to grasp and boring, even if he has bright spots elsewhere, is not interesting.

Half an hour later, the military training rain dance was filmed, and Jiang Qin led a large group of people off the field and headed back.

Currently, the nationwide promotion of Zhihu has formed a long line, and the open social functions and video traffic have also begun to make the website quickly popular among college students.

Although after the promotion in Guangzhou ended, the people at the Pintuan branch slowed down their pace, but the new additions and daily activity on Zhihu were still increasing at an impressive rate.

Especially after the military training goddess’s talent show went viral on the forum, the traffic it brought was no less than an offline promotion, and the users brought by this part had a high degree of activity.

“Brothers, I shared my original poetry on Zhihu, please like it!”

“Great, I really found a partner on Zhihu’s confession wall. This time I’m here to fulfill my wish and thank Zhihu!”

“Why hasn’t Huihui, who loves sweets, updated yet? Does she not want to be popular anymore? Does anyone know her address? I want to tie her to the computer desk and not let her eat until she writes 10,000 words a day!”

“Yesterday there was a military training goddess named Min Yue who completely fits my mate selection criteria. Omniscient Zhihu users, who has her contact information? I can pay for it!”

“I’ve been browsing Zhihu every day lately, and my health is getting worse and worse. Can you Zhihu users upload less content that college students love to see and hear?”

“Can’t quit. Don’t ever play with Zhihu. Once you start, you simply can’t quit.”

“Zhihu’s friend recommendation feature is too useful. Yesterday it recommended a guy to me who I didn’t know at all. After some careful inquiries, it turned out he was my long-distance girlfriend’s new male bestie in college, and my girlfriend even said he was gay. How interesting.”

“Am I the only one who seems to have heard a sad story from the previous bro’s post?”

“Putting other things aside, Zhihu’s friend recommendation is indeed interesting. I didn’t expect my middle school classmate who I haven’t been in touch with for eight years to be in the school right next to me.”

In the capital, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and several other surrounding cities, hundreds of thousands of college students were sharing their lives, expressing their views, and making friends every day.

Jiang Qin was very satisfied with this promotional effect. He gave the people in Room 208 a few days off in rotation and arranged for branch members stationed in various cities to go on team building activities several times.

The employees’ work had slowed down, but Jiang Qin still had a lot of things to do on his side.

Because the downstream channels had been widened, now it was more important to ensure the supply of water from upstream. To put it bluntly, the road for Zhihu had been paved, and it was time for the strategic partners to stand up.

So at seven o’clock in the evening, Jiang Qin was invited to the Longkai International Hotel to attend the first cocktail party night held by the Linchuan business community.

Walking into the glittering Longkai Hotel, Jiang Qin was received by the specially arranged waiter at the door and brought into Juxian Hall. At this time, Juxian Hall was brightly lit and decorated, looking even more lively than the New Year. The people inside were well-dressed, had classy manners, loud voices, and spoke well.

Jiang Qin casually picked up a goblet, moved through the crowd, greeting some familiar faces, with a Tony Leung-style smile on his face.

Although the concept of the Linchuan Business Group was proposed by Jiang Qin, it was actually led by the Linchuan Municipal Government, and quite a few big shots had joined the business group. Even though Jiang Qin had made a splash at the previous seminar, he still felt a bit invisible in this kind of scene.

He was still too young after all, and some of the business tycoons present felt embarrassed to take the initiative to greet him.

At this moment, He Yijun, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, strode over, looking energetic. It was clear that he had made a lot of money in the past six months, and even seemed to have become younger.

“President Jiang, let me introduce you. This is Liu Jiaming, the boss of Jiaduoji. President Liu, their company produces herbal tea beverages and is quite a well-known local brand in our Linchuan.”

“Hello, President Liu.” Jiang Qin politely extended his hand.

Liu Jiaming quickly shook his hand. “President Jiang, thanks to your influence, our company’s products have started hitting the shelves in many cities. This is our first step out of Linchuan.”

“President Liu, you’re too kind. This is everyone’s achievement. I’m just the one doing the shouting. Oh right, how are your herbal teas selling?”

“Sales are dismal. It feels like we’re being strangled and powerless. I heard President Jiang is a marketing expert, so I specially asked Old He to introduce me. I wanted to ask if you have any ideas.”

As Liu Jiaming spoke, he took out a handbag containing Jiaduoji’s promotional materials and product samples.

Jiang Qin took it and examined it carefully. After a while, he looked up. “Herbal medicine extracts, thousand-year secret recipe, clears heat, reduces swelling and relieves pain. Are you selling medicine or beverages?”

“Beverages, but it does contain medicinal ingredients and effects.”

“But President Liu, who wants to go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of medicine when they feel like drinking a beverage? That’s too absurd.”

Liu Jiaming scratched his head. “Indeed, we’ve done a lot of market research. Consumers’ first reaction is the same. But if we don’t say that, our unique selling point won’t stand out.”

Jiang Qin poured him a glass of wine. “The unique point does stand out. Isn’t it not selling at all?”

“Yes, it’s not moving at all. Herbal tea beverages have no market in China. People still prefer carbonated sweet drinks and fruit juices.”

“President Liu, you want to clearly describe the features while attracting customers, right? Actually, it’s not difficult. As long as it’s tied to some hot selling items for marketing, it’ll work. Our product has no market now, so we can ride on the coattails of products that do have a market.”

Liu Jiaming was still confused. “President Jiang, can you say it more simply?”

Jiang Qin put down his wine glass. “Afraid of getting inflamed from eating hotpot? Drink Jiaduoji! What do you think?”

“…”

Liu Jiaming was stunned for three seconds. Then he took a deep breath, shouted “holy shit” twice in public, thanked him profusely, picked up his coat and left the cocktail party.

Too brilliant, too damn brilliant!

Afraid of getting inflamed from eating hotpot? Drink Jiaduoji.

Ten simple words that highlight the features of their herbal tea product while latching onto the hottest delicacy – hotpot. If this marketing is done well, consumers nationwide might think of Jiaduoji whenever they eat hotpot!

He’s going to make money, he’s going to make big money! Joining this strategic partnership was not a loss at all!

This won’t do, my hands are itching to death. Why are your comments written better than my book? Damn it, I’m going to plagiarize book reviews, I’m going to ruthlessly plagiarize book reviews!
