Chapter 162
Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 162
In the early morning, the cold wind whistled outside.
John Qin changed his clothes, rubbed his hands and came out of the dormitory. Looking around, the campus was empty, and even the air had a hint of dry cold.
"Duoluoluduoluo, the cold wind will freeze me to death, I will make a nest tomorrow."
John Qin walked towards the entrepreneurial base with a smooth talk. As a result, just halfway through, his broken Nokia began to vibrate in his pocket.
John Qin pretended not to hear.
The dog was so cold that he was reluctant to put his hands out of his sleeves.
If it rings for about ten seconds and then hangs up, it means it's not an important matter. It's the same thing if you go to the startup base to warm up and then go back.
But who knew that the phone kept vibrating, so John Qin had to answer it.
"Hello?"
"John Qin, the latest news is that Principal Zhang will visit your place later." Lu Guangrong's voice came from the receiver.
John Qin stomped forward: "Didn't I come here last time? Here you go again. No need to be so polite. The things in my office are enough for the time being."
"Isn't Principal Zhang here to send warmth?"
"What kind of warmth do you want to send? He is bringing study groups from the four major universities to visit. It is more formal than last time and it is for the outside world. You should pay attention to it."
John Qin felt strange after hearing this: "What can I learn here?"
Lao Lu's voice sounded slowly: "After you joined the Linchuan Youth Daily, your influence in all aspects was very good, so they arranged an exchange and study group. This study group is to learn entrepreneurial experience on the spot."
"Okay, then I understand. I guarantee that they will never come back."
John Qin sneered and hung up the phone, stomping into the entrepreneurial base.
He originally wanted to convene a meeting today to talk about follow-up marketing and increasing new user registrations, but due to the visit of the study group, this matter could only be postponed to the afternoon. As for the morning time , he was going to take it all out for general cleaning.
After a round of group launch and marketing, 208 employees felt a bit tired like a roller coaster.
To put it simply, I have been working too hard the past few days, and I have been a little distracted recently. Now I am doing housework, which is just a change of mind.
"Principal Zhang is coming to visit again. Let's pack up quickly."
John Qin clapped his hands after walking into 208.
After the words fell, Dong Wong picked up the computer and ran out. Felix Lu stepped on the table to remove the light bulb. John Qin was so angry that he spat hard.
"Hey, can you be successful? I won't trick anyone this time!"
"What to do?"
"Group cleaning, make the office beautiful. Most of the visitors are from other schools. We must straighten our spines, show our wealth but not our poverty, and put out all the best things."
John Qin directed everyone to clear the windows of the office and move the green plants from 207 to the foot of the wall.
Nearing eleven o'clock at noon, Zhang Baiqing arrived in large numbers with study groups from the four major universities.
Eight of them were walking in front, and judging by their appearance and age, they should be the leading teachers from the other three schools, followed by more than a dozen students, each carrying school badges from different schools.
"Teachers and students, this is 208. You can take a look around first and feel the atmosphere."
Zhang Baiqing gave them a brief introduction, and then pulled John Qin aside: "Didn't you say that you don't want to do group buying? What happened to the delivery person in the school?"
John Qin said calmly: "That's online retail, not group buying."
"Don't fool me. Do you think I won't be able to tell if you change your name?"
John Qin let out a silly laugh: "I'm sorry, principal. I admit that I'm a bit of a gambler, but so far, the results are pretty good. As long as I don't waste my money, I'll definitely be able to hold on."
Zhang Baiqing smiled coldly: "Okay, as long as you receive the study group well today and show face to the school, I won't cause any trouble for you."
"That's too simple. I've prepared a three-piece study group set."
"?"
John Qin winked, Lana Wei nodded immediately, and together with Wendy Wen, moved out a pile of things.
Corporate brochures, team building photo books, delicious snacks.
In fact, outsiders won't see anything useful when they come to visit. You can't open the backend data to them. Even if you open it, they may not be able to understand it.
So all you can really see are photos and introduction brochures, plus a belly of snacks.
"Look, they did it really well. They even have work badges."
"It's quite interesting, but why is there a bear climbing a tree in the team building photo?"
"Isn't it a bear?"
"It seems to be a person. I'm not sure. Let's have another look."
"Let me go, why is this girl so beautiful?"
"It's so exquisite, it looks like it was photoshopped."
After a general tour, Sun Chunming, director of the Entrepreneurship Office of the Polytechnic University, and Li Hua, director of the Entrepreneurship Office of the Normal University, nodded in succession, then turned around and had a chat with Zhang Baiqing.
"Principal Zhang, the atmosphere in 208 is indeed good, but we still want to see their normal working status."
"Yes, I also need to take some photos of work by the way so that I can write a report when I get back."
After hearing this, Zhang Baiqing nodded and called John Qin, who was sharing entrepreneurial experience with female college students: "Director Sun and Director Li want to see the working status of 208. You can come here as you usually do."
John Qin pursed his lips and thought to himself, I usually talk about damn things, how can they learn such core business secrets?
"Let's eat first, just in time to let them experience my new project, okay?"
"Look at the arrangement, it's all about showing your face." Zhang Baiqing ordered in a low voice.
John Qin nodded, and immediately started to help the people in the study group to build a group, and led teachers and students from other schools to experience the pleasure of online ordering.
He has been thinking about this since the study group arrived. If a living creature comes to his door, he must take two bites.
This is the mentality of businessmen. If you don’t pick up money when you go out, it will be lost.
In the future, group tours will definitely go to the four major universities. Since we have to contact them in advance, we must leave a deep impression on them.
Why?
Although he has a letter of introduction from Professor Yan in his hand, there is no guide like Zhang Mingan in Polytechnic University and Normal University. Therefore, it is still unknown whether Professor Yan's face is good or not.
In this case, let the teachers from foreign schools who are in charge of entrepreneurship understand the grouping first, and then they will have a natural sense of intimacy when they promote it in the future.
Ten minutes later, the deliveryman Tian Xiangjia was flying all the way and delivered all the meals ordered by the study group.
"Can door-to-door delivery be so fast?"
A female college student with a ponytail in the study group was very shocked.
"This is already considered slow. Normally it takes three minutes. I will criticize them severely next time!"
John Qin smiled and answered, thinking that I specifically asked Lana Wei to call to expedite the delivery, otherwise how could it be so fast?
"That's great. If this is extended to our school, then I can eat without going out?"
The female college student said happily, acting as John Qin's dog invisibly, which attracted several teachers from other schools to praise her.
"Both the Polytechnic University and the Normal University are included in our follow-up promotion plan, and the help of directors, teachers and students will be inevitable."
John Qin replied with a smile and glanced at the ponytail girl's school badge.
Yan Lu is from the same family as Professor Yan. It seems that everyone with the surname Yan is a noble person on his entrepreneurial journey.
After a simple lunch, John Qin called all 208 employees for a meeting. On the one hand, he wanted to show the working status, and on the other hand, he did have tasks to assign.
The people in the study group immediately became energetic and began to find places to listen.
"cough..."
"Principal, do you want to say a few words first?"
Zhang Baiqing shook his head, spread his hands, and motioned for him to start performing.
John Qin was not polite, sat on the boss's chair, and directly entered the role of the cold and invincible boss.
"It's been three days since our first wave of first discounts. The traffic of group bookings has stabilized, but the number of registrations is not enough, so we are going to conduct a second round of marketing, called the Dormitory Stocking Festival."
John Qin wrote five words on the blackboard: "The rules are very simple. Every four people can form a dormitory team and enjoy a 20% discount on the entire game. However, if purchased individually, the original price will still apply."
Susan raised his hand: "Boss, Linda also has a six-person dormitory and a single dormitory for international students."
John Qin shook his head: "I won't consider the foreign devils for now, but setting the threshold to six people will undoubtedly make it more difficult to form a team. What about the four-person dormitory, so we will use the lowest threshold."
"It seems like there's also a 20% discount on the first sale day, what's the difference?"
"There is no difference for consumers, but there is a big difference for the platform. The first discount day is for registered users, and the purpose is to let them experience placing orders, but the dormitory stocking day is for unregistered users, who are interested in fresh products." They are not sensitive to things and have no interest in discounts. They can only rely on people to attract new users. The purpose of forming a team is actually to let old users attract new users."
Susan suddenly realized: "I understand. Whenever there is a group user in the dormitory, he will also recruit other people in the dormitory to form a team for the 20% discount."
"So smart, Susan."
"Really?" Suna was very happy.
John Qin nodded: "In the past, you didn't understand why after the activity, but now you understand before the meeting is over. You have really grown up."
Susan: ...
At the same time, in the back row of the office, everyone in the study group couldn't help but whisper.
To be honest, before the meeting, their impression of 208 was similar to that of other entrepreneurial projects. They thought it was just that, nothing too outstanding.
The office is bigger, has more people, and has a decent-looking corporate brochure.
But when the meeting actually took place, they discovered that the temperament of 208 employees had changed and they became extremely focused.
And John Qin, who was presiding over the meeting, who was laughing and joking just now, suddenly became like a different person, a bit more sharp-edged.
This scenario is not surprising at all when viewed in some formal companies, but when it appears in a university start-up team, it is a bit intriguing.
"What do you think, Director Li?"
"This guy's name is John Qin. Every step he takes is very precise. It doesn't look like he's joking."
