Regardless of victory or defeat, the heroes compete. Regardless of winning or losing, the days are leisurely.
Facing Qian Jianjun's follow-up questioning, Gu Quyu subtly complimented him, "Mr. Qian, you're throwing such a tough bone to me?! You rarely mention the last two points, and the ones you left behind are just a few words, so I have no way of knowing them. It's really like a good cook cannot cook without rice!"
Qian Jianjun smiled and leaned back in his chair, but still insisted on hearing Gu Quyu's opinion. "Why use the platform? The word 'based on' is well used. Just share your feelings. Treat it as a brainstorming session. Don't be so vague."
Faced with the boss's persistent persuasion, Gu Quyu could no longer refuse and said thoughtfully, "Why? It mainly requires strong temptation to make customers change their original habits or even abandon them. So this temptation must be a huge benefit. Just relying on emotion is far from enough."
"Benefits?" Qian Jianjun's tone was both questioning and curious. Gu Quyu quickly explained, "Yes, benefits! But benefits don't just mean financial benefits!"
"oh?"
"Well, if we only consider economic benefits, we will inevitably have to lower prices, which will definitely hurt existing channels and be self-destructive. So we can only find breakthroughs in other ways. For example, 'efficiency'."
At this point, Gu Quyu raised her eyes again, only to see Qian Jianjun sitting up straight, raising her right hand and extending her index finger upward in affirmation: "You can see this, you've already surpassed many department heads. Women are just as capable as men! Tell me about your magic formula for 'efficiency'."
"Lazy Xiaoshi, wake up!" The clear voice sounded again. Xue Jiuyue opened his sleepy eyes and found himself sitting at the end of a tiered classroom. The seats in front were almost full of students who were studying. Some of them were typing swiftly on the keyboard, some were working hard in their books, some were concentrating on writing their homework, and some were racking their brains to solve difficult problems. The complicated scene was incompatible with his sleepiness.
"It's only 7 o'clock in the evening. It's time for self-study. You can't sleep. Don't wait, your hair will turn white and you will be filled with regret!" The urging voice sounded softly in my ears again.
Xue Jiuyue denied it in a low voice: "I didn't sleep, I just, I just can't do this question!"
"Who wouldn't? Let me tell you."
Gu Quyu's brows lit up at the praise again, but she hesitated before speaking again. "I haven't really given much thought to 'efficiency'. I just vaguely feel that efficiency is nothing more than two aspects: goods and information. With the mature and widespread use of express delivery forward warehouses, what we can do about goods is very limited. That leaves only the key point of information efficiency."
At this point, Gu Quyu shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and added, "Boss Qian, I've racked my brains and put everything I have into this! If you test me again, I'll be like Zhou Gongjin, dying young."
Qian Jianjun was also amused by this sudden prank. Then he gave a thumbs-up and began to summarize, "Not easy, not easy, Lady Gongjin! Such a complex problem, and in such a short time, after you unraveled it, not only is the direction completely correct, but we're only one step away from a concrete solution. It's truly remarkable!"
Gu Quyu dodged Qian Jianjun's admiring gaze, her pretty face flushed like the sunset glow. She smiled and replied, "It's mainly because of your good teaching and guidance. I stand on the shoulders of giants, so of course I can see farther. But even with such good conditions, I haven't been able to take any action. I can only wait for you to teach me!"
"Young people are formidable. I will teach them everything I know." Qian Jianjun was in high spirits after hearing this and took over the topic. "Information is exploding these days. As you said, information efficiency is the key to success. How to accurately push effective information to target customers is the top priority and urgent problem for all companies and platforms. The current mainstream approach is to use big data and algorithms to create profiles, and we cannot fall behind in this area..."
"Lazy Xiaoshi, wake up!" Soon, this familiar voice pulled Xue Jiuyue back: "I'm too sleepy, let me sleep for a while."
"No, you can't sleep for another three hours, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted!" The voice was not loud, but very firm.
Xue Jiuyue could only beg for mercy in a low voice: "Then why don't I go buy another cup of coffee? I really can't stand it anymore!"
"It's already 8:10 in the evening, you definitely can't touch coffee, otherwise you will toss and turn tonight." Faced with Xue Jiuyue's cuteness, the other party was helpless: "Hey, let me play cards with you!" Then he handed over a laptop.
Xue Jiuyue perked up a lot after hearing this, but soon turned stern and asked in a low voice: "Why, is it painful for you to play cards with me?"
"No, no, I'm honored that you'd condescend to play cards with me. But I haven't finished my study plan for today, so I'm afraid I'll have to stay up late tonight!"
After hearing the explanation, Xue Jiuyue smiled happily, and then said with a distressed look: "Why are you working so hard? You are already the top student in the grade, and you are still racing against time every day. You should pay attention to rest. Alternating between work and rest is the key to both literature and martial arts."
"'Heaven moves with vigor, and the gentleman strives for self-improvement.' Learning isn't about competing with others, but with your own goals! Time is money, and money can't buy time. Time is the only fair thing in this world, and it doesn't change for anything. Every second wasted is a second less, and a second further away from your goal. You can't do without striving!"
The small but clear voice began to preach again, immediately provoking Xue Jiuyue's rebuttal, "Wrong! Gravity can change time! And I believe that emotions can also change time, but it still needs scientific proof!"
"Okay, you win. Come to room 3, table 22."
"Oh, wait a minute..."
"Yes, the times have come, and we must row against the current!" While Qian Jianjun was drinking water, Gu Quyu nodded in response to the previous sentence and continued listening.
"You're right. We're in a traditional industry, but we need to break through tradition based on new technology. One advantage is that we specialize in the home textile niche, and each of our products is designed with a specific target customer group in mind. This makes our product promotion relatively easy and accurate. The problem is that even though we're the industry leader, facing customers' ever-increasing demands and increasingly discerning tastes, it's difficult for us to cater to everything."
At this point, Qian Jianjun paused, as if thinking and sighing, before continuing, "And as you said, each platform operates independently. Going it alone won't create a synergistic force, making it even harder to break through. So, I've decided to welcome all companies in the home textile industry to our platform, including our competitors. And regardless of the product, all resources on the platform must be treated equally. After all, only by achieving success for others can we achieve success for ourselves! Only in this way can we provide customers with 'one-stop' service in the home textile industry, thereby improving information efficiency."
"You truly have great ambition, a broad mind, and a grand vision!" Gu Quyu's generous praise only heightened Qian Jianjun's spirits. He stood behind his desk, as if he were on stage, or delivering a report to the entire company. "That's not all! Information efficiency has two meanings: one is how to help certain customers quickly identify their true needs and preferences, and the other is how to provide them with more information in the shortest possible time. We've developed a solution to address both of these issues. It was inspired by a previous conversation you gave me."
"I lost again. You played really badly." As usual, if you lose, you blame your opponent, Xue Jiuyue muttered softly.
"Uh! You! Oh, this is indeed a bad hand." Hearing the other party's angry voice turn into helpless resignation, sweetness quickly became the whole world. The spoiled Xue Jiuyue proposed even more presumptuously: "I don't want to be your opponent anymore, I want to be your rival, you know!"
"No, no, that's insulting to my intelligence!"
"Then I'm going to sleep!"
"Table 19."
He didn't hold on for even a second. A simple victory followed, and Xue Jiuyue was so happy that she lost herself in joy. After winning, she actually whispered, "Give me five."
She reached out to high-five her companion. The symbolic contact of their palms was only superficial, yet it burned Xue Jiuyue like a red-hot iron. A stinging pain penetrated her bones and deep into her mind, and Xue Jiuyue quickly withdrew her hand.
"I'm sorry, I forgot! Are you okay?" Her meticulous concern arrived immediately, instantly diluting the pain and healing the wounds. Her frozen smile was also moistened again, and Xue Jiuyue softly replied, "It's okay, continue."
Then you can see the two of them like two happy mice stealing rice, hiding in a corner at the back of the classroom, whispering...
"Me?" Gu Quyu was very surprised!
"Yes, that's the model room you, Lady Gongjin, and I mentioned! Our various home textile products are categorized by style, target audience, and other criteria. Panoramic photos and videos are taken and posted on the platform, giving customers more comprehensive information at a glance. We also use AI technology to make customers feel like they're there. When customers click on any item on the screen, they can browse more comprehensive product information or purchase it directly, greatly improving information efficiency!"
Hearing this, Gu Quyu suddenly realized and couldn't help but express his feelings, "It goes beyond the individual products, beyond the details, returning to the concept of the whole, the concept of home! Beautiful! High-quality!"
"Haha, you deserve some credit! But this isn't the end!" Qian Jianjun, still enthusiastic, continued his train of thought. "Home textiles aren't fast-moving consumer goods, so platform usage isn't very high. So why would customers stay on the platform? Furthermore, the model rooms are designed by our designers. Are they the best? Can they always be at the forefront? We've turned the model rooms into a game, using AI technology to give customers an immersive experience and truly create the feeling of home. They can freely combine all the products to create their own virtual home. We'll continue to hold interior design competitions, with customers voting for themselves. The top winners will receive generous prizes, and all participants will receive commemorative prizes. This way, we can maintain customer loyalty while also building a vast library of model room examples. Only a people's war can be invincible! With these preparations, coupled with our leading position in the home textile industry and our unparalleled influence and appeal, I believe our platform will grow and prosper. Even if we fail, we can afford to lose, and we can't afford to give up and be eliminated by the times!"
Qian Jianjun delivered a long speech in one breath, his voice so powerful and clear that it almost sounded like he was speaking to himself. He slowly sat down, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and reviewed the conversation.
Gu Quyu sensibly remained silent, only tiptoeing to take the teacup and refill it. Then she heard Qian Jianjun's voice again: "Little Gu, you're a talented person, capable of handling matters anywhere. But you're also a rare conversationalist. Every time I chat with you, I can clarify my thoughts or be inspired. So, I have to ask you to stay by my side all the time!"
Gu Quyu was so shy when she heard this that she lowered her head, took the teacup and placed it on the table, saying softly, "It's my honor!"
Qian Jianjun was still immersed in thought. After a while, he asked again, "Does the Lady Gongjin have anything else to add?"
Gu Quyu thought for a moment, raised her still slightly flushed face, and expressed her thoughts in a calm voice: "Mr. Qian, your model room just now gave me some clues. It makes me think that the users of our platform will be a specific group. We can expand around this point. Home textiles, home textiles, the most important thing is a home..."
