Chapter 147
Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 147
The most indispensable thing in universities is people, and a huge crowd represents sufficient purchasing power. John Qin started out as a forum and constantly held activities to gather traffic. In fact, the main purpose was to obtain a huge traffic pool.
With traffic, any business expansion will have unlimited possibilities.
Now the traffic pool is available.
Then group buying becomes the last step to monetize after eating up the traffic.
Traffic Group delivery payment.
In a situation where smartphones and online payments are not yet popular, this is the best monetization chain he can think of, because the traditional group buying logic is to use enough purchasing power to impact sales, thereby achieving profit conversion.
The previous forum advertisements and advertising fees were actually just to raise funds for group fights.
Whether this consumption model can be accepted by college students and how long it will take to accept it are all unknown, so early promotions and discounts are all invisible costs.
For example, discount coupons for new users, and new product promotions, these are all parts that require financial support.
Without these discounts and offers, it would be difficult for group members to absorb all Zhihu’s traffic in a short period of time.
Therefore, it is really a helpless move to cheat this and that. After all, in John Qin's heart, group fighting is the final edge of the sword, and other parts can be saved.
But now, he has led his grass-roots team to finally reach this point.
Half an hour after returning from the University of Science and Technology, all 208 employees returned to the entrepreneurial base one after another. Mimi Shi was still carrying half a drawer of steamed buns and half a cup of soy milk, as if she had returned from lunch.
John Qin didn't want to disturb everyone's lunch, so he asked everyone to sit down and kept his story short and straight to the point.
"The group fight is about to go online. Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. I will assign the specific tasks next."
"Luffy Yu, you are responsible for leading the content team, adjusting the focus of creation, and initiating some topics of good product recommendations and food sharing to pave the way."
"Tina Tan and Susan are responsible for connecting with merchants, checking product information and pricing, and ensuring that there are no mistakes after going online."
"Wong, you and Yue Zhu have met. You will be responsible for the connection with Wanzhong Mall. You must make it clear that they will be responsible for delivering all orders from the mall."
"Lan Lan, please contact the part-time job agency again to confirm the recruitment status of on-campus delivery workers and conduct a simple training as planned."
"And Lucy, keep an eye on Shengshi and urge them to prepare all the materials as soon as possible. They must be in place the day after tomorrow at the latest."
After receiving their respective tasks, 208 returned to the enthusiastic work atmosphere.
The people in the content team began to incarnate as existences similar to product anchors, writing detailed soft articles for the main products listed by merchants in a first-person manner.
Dong Wong began to communicate with Yue Zhu on issues such as the time and frequency of goods delivery.
Lana Wei went directly back to the East School and contacted the part-time club to recruit and train delivery personnel.
Lucy Lu went to Shengshi to confirm the production progress of billboards and promotional posters.
Everything began to move forward in an orderly manner.
Now that everything is ready, there is only one last problem left to solve, which is to pick up the goods.
This is determined by the subjective wishes of consumers and cannot be unified. Some people have classes in the afternoon and some people have classes in the morning. Then some people will get the goods in the morning and some will get the goods in the afternoon.
John Qin doesn't have enough manpower, and it's impossible to find part-time students who can stay in the dormitory all day, so this matter may have to trouble the aunties in each dormitory.
The dormitory aunt is under the management of the school's logistics department, and logistics belongs to the school affairs department, so the top leader should be the vice principal Zhang Baiqing whom I met a few days ago.
Tsk.
Principal Zhang is a good person. He specializes in solving the problems of entrepreneurship and filling in the pitfalls of entrepreneurship.
John Qin thought for a while and planned to find an opportunity to meet the vice principal and talk to him about the re-employment issue of the dormitory aunt.
"boss!"
Mimi Shi suddenly raised his head: "Don't you have classes in the afternoon? Why haven't you left yet?"
John Qin was stunned for a moment: "What class?"
"College English."
John Qin smacked his lips, put on his coat and prepared to go to class. He didn't go because he liked this class. The main reason was that his absentee rate had reached the red line. If he didn't go, he would fail without taking the exam. It doesn't matter if he is a bad guy, but he doesn't know how to do this or that. If he fails too much, he will probably be asked to quit.
It would be nice if students didn't have to go to school.
John Qin drove all the way to the teaching building of the School of Finance, but was still late without any surprise.
But what surprised him was that Charles Cao was also late, shrinking like a little chicken and standing motionless at the base of the wall.
"Old Cao, why don't you come into the classroom?"
"If you are caught late, you will be punished by a small station."
The corner of John Qin's mouth twitched: "You're already in college and you're still forced to stand? Is there any royal law?"
Charles Cao stared at him and motioned for him to lower his voice: "It's bad luck this time. The student union of the school caught me and said they were going to launch a study style supervision campaign. I really didn't give him any face at all."
"Then just stand still, I'm leaving."
"Don't go. They came into the classroom to check for absences. If you go now, you'll be on the receiving end of a gun."
"Damn it, I really don't know anyone in the student union. Let's hide for a while." John Qin had no choice but to retreat.
Charles Cao was amused: "Are you late for love too? No, where is Nancy Feng? Are you talking to a ghost alone?"
John Qin glanced at him: "All you think about is falling in love? I just came from the fucking entrepreneurial base!"
"It's a fool's errand. The eldest brother doesn't have to laugh at the second brother."
While they were talking, people from the school student union were led by Zhu Feng out of the classroom. John Qin turned around and wanted to hide. Points were deducted, but he couldn't accept the punishment of standing, but before he could hide, Zhu Feng He called his name from behind.
"John Qin!"
"Points will be deducted. I have nothing to fear, but I refuse to be punished." John Qin immediately failed.
Zhu Feng glanced at him: "Who caught you? Let me introduce you. This is Zhuang Siyu, the president of the school student union."
The short-haired senior next to Zhu Feng smiled slightly: "John, do you have time to chat?"
"I'm late and have to take notes?"
"It's not about being late. I didn't even take your name. Your girlfriend answered it for you, so we just went down the slope and pretended not to know anything."
Zhuang Siyu looked surprised after hearing this: "Is that super pretty junior girl just now his girlfriend?"
Zhu Feng said of course: "If she wasn't his girlfriend, how could any girl answer it stupidly for a boy? I really thought we couldn't hear it."
"I say to you two seniors, stop discussing my relationship issues. Otherwise, points will be deducted directly."
"Junior, we do have something to ask you for a favor. Can you come and sit in the office for a while?"
After hearing this, Charles Cao's eyes almost popped out of his head. He thought to himself, "Isn't it necessary to launch a study style supervision campaign?" Is your study style supervisor specifically targeting me?
John Qin walked past Lao Cao, severely scolded him to stand still, and then followed Zhu Feng and Zhuang Siyu into the office.
"Junior, we want to get a sponsorship from you."
John Qin raised his eyebrows after hearing this. He really didn't expect that someone could pull the wool over his head: "What kind of sponsorship?"
Zhuang Siyu coughed: "Did you know that the four major universities jointly organized a debate competition?"
"I heard it from Senior Sister Yao from the Literary Club."
"It costs money to go out to compete, and it also costs money to make team uniforms and team flags, so can you help me a little?"
Zhuang Siyu opened his bag, took out a form and handed it over. On it was written part of the debate information and the required sponsorship fees.
John Qin originally didn't want to agree. He had always invited others, and no one had ever invited him. But when he saw the list of judges, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
There is no other reason than that the name in the column of chairman of the jury is Zhang Baiqing.
"Principal Zhang is a judge?"
"Yes, Principal Zhang asked me to come this time. I wanted to ask if you would like to sponsor me."
The corner of John Qin's mouth twitched, thinking that Zhang Baiqing probably thought that the entrepreneurial support last time was a bit too much, and planned to make up for it here. However, he also really wanted to meet with Principal Zhang to discuss the re-employment issue of the dormitory aunt. This was true. An opportunity comes to your door.
The principal in charge of school affairs is usually very busy, so it's not just a matter of meeting him. Seeing that the group meeting is about to go online, it is unrealistic to make an appointment again. It is better to take advantage of the debate competition to meet and chat.
Moreover, when discussing this matter under the banner of his sponsorship, Zhang Baiqing must consider his own contribution, and the chance of agreeing is relatively high.
"Sponsorship can be considered, but will there be any benefit to me?"
Zhuang Siyu immediately said: "We can help you promote the forum. After all, it is a joint competition between the four major universities and it attracts a lot of attention."
John Qin picked up the watch and took a look at it: "How far has the competition progressed?"
"We are still in the on-campus competition, but the finals are about to begin. The winning team will represent Linchuan University in the final debate with three other universities." Zhuang Siqi answered all questions.
"Have you chosen the topic for the school final?"
"Personal destiny is controlled by the individual and personal destiny is controlled by the society."
John Qin was silent for a moment: "Sponsorship is okay, can I go to watch the game?"
Zhuang Siyu hesitated for a moment: "Are you interested in debating? Of course."
"But I hope your debate topic can be changed. The one just now was too out of touch."
"Change it to what?"
"If the ending is bad, there is no need to start at all, and if the ending is bad, you should enjoy the process."
Zhuang Siyu frowned and thought for a moment: "This debate topic is a bit interesting..."
John Qin pursed his lips and said, "I want to know what everyone thinks about this issue. If it's convenient, let's use this as the final question."
"I want to go back and discuss it with the judges and teachers."
"Then I want two seats, as close to the front row as possible, preferably closer to Principal Zhang."
After confirming the sponsorship, John Qin privately asked Zhuang Siyu to cross out Charles Cao's name from the late list, and then the two groups waved goodbye.
"Old Cao, you have to treat me to dinner." John Qin started begging for food as soon as he returned to the corridor.
"Why?" Charles Cao bared his teeth.
John Qin spat at him: "I sacrificed my beauty and begged the student union president to cross out your name. Shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"
The corner of Charles Cao's mouth twitched: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Do you not believe in my beauty or do you not believe that your name has been crossed out?"
"Haha, I don't believe either of them."
