Chapter 105: The Meaning of the Co-pilot
TL: Etude
The campus beauty test cluded successfully, and the project team seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Ba the office, everyone rexed; some y down, others chatted, making room 208 lively and bustling.
“How about a game of poker?”
“Sounds good, we’ve been w hard for days. Let’s py some poker to rex!” Lu Feiyu was the first to agree.
Dong Wenhao couldn’t help but look at Jiang Qin: “Boss, why don’t you join us for poker?”
“No, you guys go py in 207. I o think about some things.” Jiang Qin waved them off.
So, the group bustled out of 208 and into the neighb 207, leaving Jiang Qin and Su Nai alone in the room, each absorbed in their work.
Outside, a light rain began to fall, the sound of it adding a special atmosphere to the se.
“Why don’t you join them for poker? Dong Wenhao even said you’ve bee too serious tely,” Su Nai suggested Jiang Qin should joihers.
“You think Dong Wenhao is asking if I want to py, but he’s actually asking for permission to py. All I o do is agree; I don’t o participate. Besides, if I join, they certainly won’t be able to enjoy themselves.”
After saying this, Jiang Qin sank into deep thought, p the issue of moization tools.
In the world of i projects, it’s a simple truth that one must spend moo make money. Given Jiang Qin’s current financial situation, he could manage a campus work, but anything more ambitious might be out of his reach.
He knew he o catch the wave of opportunity, but in the right way. As the saying goes in “Transformers,” there’s a way to do things even without money.
At this thought, Jiang Qin couldn’t help but remember Ye Ziqing from the afternoon.
“Is knowledge gained from books always superficial? Hmm…”
Stretg, Jiang Qin stood up to get some water.
Su Nai, sitting across from him, quickly moved her mouse, straightened her back, pushed up her gsses, her cheeks slightly flushed.
“Stop looking, we have a meeting,” Jiang Qin g her.
“I wasn’t looking!” Su Nai’s face turned even redder.
“I didn’t even say what you were looking at, how do you know what I’m talking about?”
Su Nai stiffened.
“Advisio py poker door? Heh, these tricks are what I’ve left behind.”
Su Nai snapped her ptop shut and followed Jiang Qin to room 207. There, they interrupted the ongoing pame to start a summary meeting, mainly to discuss the success of the campus beauty test and analyze the reasons for its success.
In his previous life, Jiang Qin didn’t uand why bosses liked to hold meetings, often o days, and without allowing leave. But after being a boss himself, he realized that deakers often have a higher perspective and see further, but easily lose touch with the ground. A slight misstep could lead them to make assumptions ahe team astray.
Moreover, Jiang Qin’s pn was to replicate the campus beauty test at the Uy of Sd Teology, the Polyteiiversity, and the Teachers College. Therefore, summarizing the successful experience was essential.
“I think the success of the campus beauty test is all thanks to the boss’s excellent leadership,” Dong Wenhao started the discussion.
Jiang Qin g him: “Let’s not dwell on well-known facts. Anything else?”
“The key is our unity, thinking and w together,” someone else chimed in.
“ we talk about something more practical? Details?”
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuemei spoke up: “I think the purchase of the milk tea shop was the most crucial step.”
“I agree, without the sales report of the milk tea shop, even if the test was successful, it might not have attracted so many merts.”
Wei Lann added. As a member of the marketing team, she was quite sensitive to these matters. Acc to her ret iions with merts, what attracted them the most was not the campus beauties but the sales performance of the milk tea shop.
In a ercial test, the ultimate goal is to make money. In this regard, the small shop Xi Tian pyed a signifit role.
“tinue.”
Tan Qing raised his hand: “I think the rge PVC board in the front square was very good, very eye-catg.”
Shi Miaomiao also spoke up: “Dong Xueg’s pnning and topic sele were also excellent. A signifit part of the retention rate is due to his well-pced standards.”
Lu Feiyu followed up: “I think there’s one most critical factor to the success of this test.”
“What factor?”
“Because our ‘boss dy’ didn’t participate.”
Jiang Qin inwardly cursed at this sycophantient, thinking that people like Lu Feiyu really don’t deserve success or wealth if they don’t elevate themselves.
However, he had to admit that their analysis made sehe beauty test provided popurity for the forum, whi turn increased the sales of the milk tea shop. Ultimately, the teained users, and the sales data attracted numerous advertisers. This tightly knit bination was indispensable, and removing any part of it would be detrimental.
In other words, the first step to expanding to other schools wasn’t just holding a test, but also establishing branches of Xi Tian, pnting a spicuous ‘nail’ ierritories.
It seemed the little rich dy would make money again, although she hardly .
After calling ao the meeting aing everyourn to their pame, Jiang Qi back to room 208 and tacted Guo Zihang via QQ.
Guo Zihang, a student at the Uy of Sd Teology, was familiar with his campus. Since Jiang Qin po replicate his previous strategies, Guo Zihang was a suitable guide, especially since he khe aunt who ran the fruit stand.
Guo Zihang might not uand the intricacies, but the aunt surely had insights into the local ercial atmosphere.
The rise of Xi Tian was marked by its location in a poor spot, which, through advertising, experienced a dramatic revival, shog the surrounding merts. For this replication, Jiang Qin po replicate this foundational aspect too.
“Hey Guo, what are you up to?”
“I just met a senior at a club event a few days ago, and I’m chatting with her,” Guo Zihang replied instantly.
Jiang Qi a smiley face: “Seamlessly moving on, huh? Gave up on the fruit stand aunt?”
“I never pursued her, just added her on QQ and chatted a bit. Jiang, please don’t spread this around.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t have time fossip. I’ll e over tomorrow, Sunday.” Jiang Qin typed eically.
Guo Zihang immediately responded: “For real? Awesome, e over. I’m bored on weekends anyway and was thinking of visiting you. It’s much better if you e here; it’s not ve for me to travel.”
Business, appeasing the little rich dy – being a boss wasn’t easy.
“Alright, see you tomorrow.”
“Hold on, Jiang. The road south of our uy is under stru, the buses are rerouted. You o take bus 203 first, then switch to 101 at the city library to get here,” Guo Zihang helpfully advised.
“I bought a car,” Jiang Qin typed with a smile.
“…”
The m, Jiang Qin took a bus to the city, picked up his newly bought Audi from the Four Sons dealership io city, and after a m of paperwork aing a temporary lise pte, he arrived at Lin Uy of Sd Teology by 3 pm.
Guo Zihang was waiting at the gate, eyeing the Audi with envy.
“Does your family know you bought a car?”
“No, and don’t you spread it. I don’t want to be too ostentatious, or everyone will know your college first love is the fruit stand aunt.”
Guo Zihang turned pale and immediately vowed to keep it secret: “So, what are we doing now? Going for a drive?”
“First, let’s visit your aunt, then we’ll go for a drive. I o sult her about something.” Jiang Qin wao take care of business first.
“Ah?”
“To be ho, I’m pnning to open a milk tea shop at your uy, but I’m not familiar with it. I o ask someone in business about the worst location.”
Guo Zihang was stunned: “You mean the best locatiht?”
“Don’t worry about these capitalist affairs.” Jiang Qin found it hard to expin to Guo Zihang.
They then visited the Green Garden Fruit Supermarket across from the uy, where they met Guo Zihang’s first love, a thirty-something aunt named Wu Caifeng. She was itractive and had a child-like voice, albeit a bit short, but well-matched with Guo Zihang.
Si was getting te, Jiang Qin got straight to the point, inquiring about the local business se.
Wu Caifeng, although only having a junih education, had insightful views on business. She said the best business spots at the Uy of Sd Teology were uhe girls’ dormitories, while the worst were the small pzas in front of the boys’ dormitories.
Jiang Qin nodded, finding that the situation was simir in uy towns: businesses under girls’ dormitories generally did better than those under boys’. It was hard to get male college students to spend more.
Most of them spent time and money on their girlfriends or saved up fifts, while the rest were just i addicts.
Of course, there were those who focused solely on studies, but they were the minority.
Busiargets the majority, and minorities are less of a .
After the discussion, Jiang Qin bought two bags of fruit as a thank you, gave oo Guo Zihang, and put the other irunk.
“Ready for a drive?”
“Let’s go!”
As Jiang Qin unlocked the car, Guo Zihang reached for the passenger duo!”
“Huh?” Guo Zihang was startled by Jiang Qin’s sudden high tone.
“It’s a new car. The co-pilot seat hasn’t been ‘inaugurated’ yet. Sit in the back.”
Guo Zihang sullenly moved to the back seat, thinking there was no fun in a drive if not in the fro. But sidering Jiang Qin’s perspective, he uood the significe of a car’s first co-pilot.
