Chapter 339: Heavy Snow and Yu Banzhi
With the help of Yao Er, Zheng Xu's demand for funds has been solved. For those mid-to-high-end supermarkets, what they need is traffic, even if the traffic appears because of looking for a bathroom. How to attract potential consumer groups to the store is not only a supermarket, but also a headache facing all physical stores.
Of course, the traffic of Zheng Xu's app is not very attractive, but firstly it is introduced by Yao Er, and secondly, the price is really low, only 10,000 yuan a year, which is not a big deal for these supermarkets. Any promotion is far more than this price, just treat it as an advertisement. There is still some hope that if the download volume of this app can exceed 200,000 to 300,000 in a few months, then it may really bring some conversion effects to these supermarkets.
In the end, more than 20 supermarkets recognized this promotion method. Zheng Xu got nearly 200,000 yuan as he wished. The funding problem was gone, and he once again invested in continuous operation.
Shi Lei and Zheng Xu had a good talk. The topic was about funds and this crisis. It was even more about Zheng Xu's company that could not just wait for rounds of investments. It had to explore ideas and create possible income. As for Zheng Xu's current situation, whether it was 100,000 or 350,000, it was possible to maintain the company's expenses for a period of time. If you only focus on future investments, the company would soon enter the liquidation stage.
Zheng Xu also realized his problem. He had to adjust the thinking mode of a programmer to the thinking mode of a business operator, and blindly treat himself as a technician. All other problems were expected to be solved by shareholders, especially shareholders like Shi Lei who play the role of an angel investor, which is really not suitable. Zheng Xu secretly made up his mind that once he overcomes this crisis, even if the cost is higher, he would find a way to invite a professional manager to take charge.
As the end of the year approaches, Shi Lei is entering the last winter vacation of four years of college. He is roughly preparing to return to Runzhou.
So, before leaving, he visited the people he needed to visit one by one.
Teachers from our department are indispensable in the school. This year's teachers have been with them for four years, and they will serve as their instructors for their graduation design and thesis after the New Year. Of course, there are three goods in their dormitory. Shi Lei found a good hotel and set up a large table, with lobsters and abalones, and the teachers were extremely surprised when they saw them.
Shi Lei said that he had achieved some results in his own business. Zhang Wei and the other two just thought he was using his family’s money to start a business, but they didn’t say it out loud. They thought Shi Lei wanted to save face and did not want to tell him the identity of a rich second generation. They had a happy meal, and the teachers also praised Shi Lei.
After seeing off the teachers, Shi Lei and the three friends in the dormitory went to Lao Wang's barbecue again, drinking and chatting, just talking about their respective internships in the second half of the year.
Among the three, Zhang Wei’s internship unit is the best, introduced by his relatives at home, and basically as long as he does not make too many mistakes during the internship, there is no suspense to retain it.
Tu Yi’s unit is average, but he is paid as soon as he enters. Although it is slightly lower than that of a formal employee, it can be considered as a probation period, not an internship period.
Luo Ming's work was only implemented a few days ago. The unit sounds very high-end. Jiangdong Writers Association, but when you go in, you are just a choreographer. Moreover, after the internship period, more than 90% of them will not be hired. In other words, there is no chance of being hired at all, and it is just a pre-graduate internship.
Shi Lei thought about it and knew that the three of them might want him to introduce a better work unit for Luo Ming, but he still didn't speak.
At this point, Shi Lei thought it very clearly. Everyone said that it was okay for brothers, but in fact there were natural obstacles. Not only did Shi Lei get busy and didn’t have time to find them, but the three of them seemed to be embarrassed to find Shi Lei. The relationship between this classmate may be able to rely on text messages during the holidays, as well as gatherings once a year or at most two or three times a year.
The corners of his mouth felt a little bitter, but in this way, Shi Lei was unwilling to do anything, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Therefore, Shi Lei felt that Luo Ming had to walk his own way. If there was a problem with finding a job, he wouldn't mind asking Wei Qing or Wei Xingyue. He would definitely ask them to help arrange a job, and he wouldn't really owe them any favors.
"Let's have a peace of mind to intern first. In fact, no matter what kind of internship or the result, if you are interested, you can always learn something. Even if you can't learn anything related to your major, just learning how to get along with people in your workplace will be of great benefit to you in the future. When you really get to graduate, let's take a look."
Hearing this was actually a reassurance, at least it showed that Shi Lei was not willing to help, but did not want to intervene from the beginning.
I drank a drink until two o'clock in the middle of the night before the joy ended.
The next day, Shi Lei went to see Yu Banzhi.
When he got up in the morning, he made an appointment with him. Yu Banzhixiang got up early and was walking birds by the river. He was very happy when he received a call from Shi Lei and was in a good mood. He heard Shi Lei say that he was going to return to Runzhou for the last winter vacation, Yu Banzhi took the initiative to invite him to the Yu family agarwood restaurant, and the two of them drank tea for a day.
Shi Lei believed that Yu Banzhi and the Bai family must be familiar with him. Perhaps he had known that he was recognized as his godson by Chen Yanu, but since Yu Banzhi did not mention it, Shi Lei was unwilling to mention it too much. For him, he just had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Chen Yanu, which was related to Chen Yanu's unconditional trust in him. He did not intend to use Chen Yanu's signature, the Bai family's signature.
I had a drink with Yu Banzhi in the evening, found a small mutton hotpot, and ordered two bottles of rice wine.
Mutton sauté is ordinary sauté, and rice wine is also ordinary rice wine. It only costs 300 yuan for a meal, but Shi Lei suddenly realized that he had not enjoyed such a process for a long time.
During this period, I went to high-end hotels every day and didn’t take it seriously. In other words, I have people who come and go around me who never consider money. Otherwise, I would definitely have to explore where Shi Lei got so much money.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the meal, snowflakes floated outside, and it became heavier and heavier. It was almost in ten minutes before it was already heavy snow like goose feathers. A thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground, on the trees, especially on the roofs on the opposite bank of the river, and on the roofs parked on the roadside.
Yu Banzhi's interest increased greatly and said with a smile: "So you and I are destined to be together. Haha, the weather forecast says there will be sleet today, but when the sleet meets you, it will become heavy snow. Under such a snowy scene, it is really a pleasure to eat meat in life. Can you drink it? Let's share it with us again?"
Shi Lei doesn’t care much about the rice wine, especially the amount of eating and drinking during this period has increased a lot compared to half a year ago.
Smile and allow it.
After drinking the third bottle of wine, Yu Ban was still happy. He looked at Shi Lei and said, "By the way, I didn't want to mention it. I heard that you are Chen Ya Nu's adopted son, Mori, now?"
Shi Lei thought he knew it, so he nodded and said, "I am also born with a sense of intimacy with my godmother." This means that he is also Yu Banzhi.
