The most indispensable thing in universities is people, and a huge crowd represents sufficient purchasing power.
Jiang 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 booking - arrival - 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 the 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 of Zhihu’s traffic in a short period of time.
Therefore, it is really a helpless move to cheat this and that. After all, in Jiang Qin's heart, group fighting is the final sword, and other parts can be saved.
And now, he has led his grassroots team to finally persist to 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. Shi Miaomiao was still carrying half a drawer of steamed buns and half a cup of soy milk, as if she had returned from lunch.
Jiang 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 next specific tasks."
"Luffy Yu, you are responsible for leading the content team, adjusting the focus of creation, and initiating some topics of good product recommendation and food sharing to pave the way."
"Tan Qing and Sunai are responsible for connecting with merchants, checking product information and pricing, and ensuring that there are no mistakes after going online."
"Wenhao, you and Yue Zhu have met. You will be responsible for the docking of 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 agency again to confirm the recruitment status of delivery personnel on campus and conduct a simple training according to the original plan."
"And Xuemei, 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.
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 Wenhao began to communicate with Yue Zhu on issues such as the time and frequency of goods delivery.
Wei Lanlan went directly back to the East School and contacted the part-time club to recruit and train delivery personnel.
Lu Xuemei 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.
Jiang 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 be troubled by 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.
Jiang 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!"
Shi Miaomiao suddenly raised his head: "Don't you have classes in the afternoon? Why haven't you left yet?"
Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment: "What class?"
"College English."
Jiang 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 classmate, 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 great if students didn't have to go to school.
Jiang 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 Cao Guangyu was also late, huddled like a little chicken, standing motionless at the base of the wall.
"Lao Cao, why don't you enter the classroom?"
"If you are caught late, you will be punished by a small station."
The corner of Jiang Qin's mouth twitched: "You're already in college and you're still forced to stand? Is there any other way to do this?"
Cao Guangyu stared at him and told him to keep his voice down: "It's my bad luck this time. I was caught by the student union of the school. They said they were going to launch a study style supervision campaign, but they really didn't give me any face."
"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." Jiang Qin had no choice but to retreat.
Cao Guangyu was amused: "Are you late for love too? No, where is Feng Nanshu? Are you talking to a ghost alone?"
Jiang Qin glanced at him: "All you think about is falling in love? I just came from the damn entrepreneurial base!"
"It's a shame, 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. Jiang 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 behind him.
"Jiang Qin!"
"Points will be deducted. I have nothing to fear, but I refuse to be punished." Jiang Qin simply failed.
Zhu Feng glanced at him: "Who arrested 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: "Jiang, 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 beautiful school 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 tell you two seniors, please stop discussing my relationship issues, or you can just deduct points."
"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, Cao Guangyu's eyes almost popped out of his head. He thought to himself, "Isn't this a campaign to supervise the study style? Isn't it true that your study style supervision campaign is specifically targeting me?"
Jiang 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."
Jiang Qin raised his eyebrows after hearing these words. 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 takes 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.
Jiang Qin originally didn't want to agree. He had always chosen others, and no one had ever chosen 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 the judge?"
"Yes, Principal Zhang asked me to come this time. I wanted to ask if you would like to sponsor me."
The corner of Jiang 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 doorstep.
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 another appointment. 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 it benefit 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."
Jiang 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 stage, and the finals are coming soon. 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 finals?"
"Personal destiny is controlled by the individual and personal destiny is controlled by the society."
Jiang 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..."
Jiang Qin pursed his lips: "I want to know what everyone thinks of this issue. If it is 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, Jiang Qin privately asked Zhuang Siyu to cross out Cao Guangyu's name from the late list, and then the two groups waved goodbye.
"Old Cao, you have to treat me to dinner." Jiang Qin started begging for food as soon as he returned to the corridor.
"Why?" Cao Guangyu bared his teeth.
Jiang Qin spat at him: "I sacrificed my beauty to ask the student union president to cross out your name. Shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"
The corner of Cao Guangyu'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?"
