Chapter 254 Earning a share with tears
"Now that we have discussed the later development plan, do you have any feedback for me?"
Jiang Qin's eyes swept over everyone in Room 208.
"Boss, the marketing department seems to be short of staff. Although we have not stopped recruiting externally, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."
Wei Lanlan talked about the issues that Bao Wenping had reported back.
The marketing planning department has only recruited twelve people in total. As the promotion scope expands, insufficient manpower is an inevitable problem. In order to ensure that the promotion rhythm remains unchanged, this department must add more staff.
"Okay, let me handle this matter."
After Jiang Qin finished speaking, he patted the table and said, "You guys can continue to use the air conditioner in the office and enjoy the cool breeze, but your handsome boss has to brave the scorching sun and fight on the street for your happy future!"
Sunai pushed his glasses down with a serious face: "Boss, you are so shameless. Please figure out who is working for whom, okay?"
"You can also think of it as me working for all of you. This way you will be more motivated to work!"
"Damn it, some bosses are like this, they have no sense of boundaries at all, which leads to their business getting bigger and bigger."
Wei Lanlan thought Sunai was going to curse the boss to go bankrupt, but the last sentence took a sudden turn and she almost broke her back.
Jiang Qin had already left the entrepreneurial base and arrived at the city center. He found a place to park his car and strolled along Xinghong Avenue.
The purpose of his visit this time was actually to inspect and accept the promoted area in the city center.
Although bosses are in control of the general direction of the company's development at all times, in principle they cannot be separated from the grassroots. On-site acceptance is also a way to obtain the most intuitive feedback from the market.
"Damn, it's hot."
Jiang Qin walked to the entrance of a supermarket and couldn't help but buy an iced Coke.
It is the beginning of midsummer and the sun is scorching. Passers-by are walking in the shade on the street, and they are in a hurry.
This kind of weather is actually good for the promotion of group buying in stores.
Because the temperature outside is high and people cannot stay indoors, it is impossible for people who want to shop to look for stores while walking on the street, so searching for nearby businesses and services online becomes the best option.
You have your eyes on a store and want to go shopping there, and the group-buying packages are cheaper than offline ones, and there are real reviews to help you avoid scams. Who would refuse that? Jiang Qin continued walking along the shade and came to the commercial street behind the Golden Apple community.
After a round of crazy promotion, this street has now completely turned into a group buying street, with posters of group buying discounts posted on every door.
These merchants are now not only partners and productive forces of group buying, but also promoters of group buying.
Jiang Qin randomly found a store and went in. He ordered a braised chicken with rice. As soon as he sat down, he saw a line of large words on the wall opposite him: if you place a group order and give a five-star rating, you will get a tea egg or grilled sausage for free.
"Give me a good review, young man. Here's a free sausage for you."
"Boss, isn't it a loss for you to do business this way?"
"It's not a loss. If I get more positive reviews, my store display will be on the front page. I can lose two dollars but get a dozen more customers. I might make more money."
Jiang Qin showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and said that the boss was smart and would definitely make a fortune with this kind of business thinking. Then he lowered his head to eat, and with tears in his eyes, he earned a share of 1.5 yuan from the 15 yuan braised chicken, and also bought a grilled sausage.
After touring the surrounding streets, Jiang Qin drove to Linchuan University of Technology to solve the problem of staff shortage in the marketing department.
The speed of social recruitment is too slow, so the best way is to directly transfer existing part-time employees from the university town to help.
The promotion of group buying gradually began to shift eastward, which was closer to the Polytechnic University in terms of straight-line distance, so the Polytechnic University team was the first choice, and he wanted the employees from both sides to engage in a two-way cooperation.
After all, after the secondary marketing of group buying to stores was completed, the teams from various universities were all idle.
Especially for the part-time employees in the marketing group, since they don’t need to visit merchants, they don’t have much work to do, which frees up a lot of their time.
Jiang Qin is not a capitalist who likes to exploit labor to the extreme, but it is not his style to spend money to support idle people.
Ten minutes later, Chen Anhua and Congyi, who were in charge of the University of Science and Technology, hurried over and entered the Xitian milk tea shop.
"The group-buying promotion has already reached the East District. You will start from the commercial street and support the marketing department. Senior Sister Congyi will lead the marketing team to visit the merchants. Lao Chen, you will lead the rest of the people to carry out the cooperative promotion."
"In addition, because there are big differences between school and social promotion, the marketing department has more experience in this regard. I will arrange for Lanlan to take you to see their working model and working methods first."
Chen Anhua and Congyi nodded after they understood the boss's intention, but there was still a hint of uneasiness lingering in their hearts.
As college students, they have the home advantage when conducting marketing promotions in university towns, and the consumers are all their classmates, so there is no psychological pressure.
But this time it is purely social promotion. College students who have not stepped out of the ivory tower always have a sense of awe for the complex and ever-changing society.
Moreover, the people in the group buying marketing department are all real members of society. In their eyes, we are all seniors and adults, and I feel like I am a head shorter than them in terms of momentum.
"Boss, can we really keep up with the pace of the marketing department?"
"What's wrong with that?" Jiang Qin didn't think there would be any problem at all.
Cong Yi couldn't help but pursed his lips: "We are definitely not as professional as those colleagues in the Marketing Planning Department. What if we fall behind?"
"Don't think that workers are necessarily professional. In fact, they are also confused when doing things. They may not be as good as you. Just do it freely."
"Okay boss, we will work hard."
Jiang Qin looked at Cong Yi and Chen Anhua and said, "Don't feel any pressure. Going out into society is something that college students will eventually have to face. Just think of it as an early internship. When you really leave campus, your ability to adapt will definitely be stronger than your classmates."
"The boss is right. This is a training opportunity for us." Chen Anhua encouraged himself.
Jiang Qin nodded and took a sip of milk tea.
In fact, from the moment the group buying team stepped out of the school gate, the mentality of the part-time team began to slowly change.
Just like Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing, they were also very nervous when they first went to connect with the Ministry of Commerce and the Marketing Department, fearing that they were too young and would not be able to convince others.
They are all people in society, masters who have really worked in the real world. If you, a college student, go and give them advice, it's fine if you're right, but if you're wrong, you'll be laughed at.
But in fact, having been a social animal for so many years, Jiang Qin knows today's workers very well. Most of them are forced to do the job, and there is no question of professionalism or unprofessionalism.
Some people even do the same job for half their lives, but their level always remains at the entry level.
Except for the high-tech departments, there is no innovation or research. Everyone is just following the template.
They use templates when making PPTs, when writing performance reports, and even when making web pages and doing planning. Apart from their slippery way of dealing with the world, there is basically nothing worthy of awe.
"Okay, go back and prepare yourself. I'll have Lanlan contact you this afternoon."
"Okay, let's wait for Sister Lanlan's call."
"Then I'll go back first. Have a cup of milk tea before you leave. Order whatever you want. Anyway, your boss lady likes to treat people. After you finish drinking, remember to thank her in the group. She will be very happy."
Jiang Qin stood up while chatting and laughing, and was about to leave with the car keys, but he saw the guests at the third table behind him staring at him intently.
Those who were staring at him were not strangers; on the contrary, he knew them all.
Yu Shasha, Gu Tiantian, and a girl with twin ponytails who worked as a dog carrier when the Xitian Polytechnic University branch opened.
In addition to them, Chu Siqi and Wang Huiru, who have not been seen for a long time, are also here. College life is relatively leisurely. Yu, Wang, Chu and the other two are best friends in high school, so it is not uncommon for them to visit each other's schools.
However, when she saw Jiang Qin looking at her, Chu Siqi's eyes obviously avoided for a moment and her expression became very nervous.
There was another person opposite her with the same expression and movements as her, that was Gu Tiantian who had insisted on being Jiang Qin’s boss lady.
"Jiang Qin, why are you here at the University of Science and Technology?" Wang Huiru waved at him.
"The weather is nice today, so I came to Polytechnic University to take a look and handle some business."
Jiang Qin looked at the waiter at the bar and said, "This table is my friends. Let's give them a free meal."
After listening to this, the waiter nodded immediately: "Okay, boss."
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. How about... sitting together?" Wang Huiru couldn't help but say.
In fact, Jiang Qin had a good impression of Wang Huiru. This girl was completely different from her best friend. She had a decent outlook on life and enough emotional intelligence. He had no objection to sitting down and chatting with her alone.
But since Chu Siqi was there too, he felt like there was nothing much to talk about.
Facing this former class beauty, Jiang Qin no longer felt any palpitations. Instead, he could face her calmly. It was enough to just chat with her, as his time was very valuable.
"Forget it, I still have some things to take care of. When I'm free, I'll ask you out alone."
"Well, all right then."
Jiang Qin turned and left Xitian. Chu Siqi at the table and Gu Tiantian opposite him both began to become distracted.
Yu Shasha saw the whole scene and thought to herself that my male god is really invincible: "Everyone has left, don't be stupid, drink milk tea."
Chu Siqi pursed her lips and said, "The lady boss he just mentioned who likes to treat guests is Feng Nanshu, right?"
"Siqi, don't ask anymore. Just treat Jiang Qin as an ordinary high school classmate and stop thinking about him. This way you will feel much more relaxed."
“…”
Gu Tiantian looked at Yu Shasha in surprise, then looked at Chu Siqi, who was obviously much taller than her, and seemed to understand something in her heart. After a while, she felt even more depressed.
