Chapter 367 It’s not your fault that you look good



Chapter 367 It’s not your fault that you look good

As the end of the year approaches rapidly, there are so many things to do in January, and they are all trivial matters, such as final exams.

This year's holiday is relatively early. It is said that we can leave school on January 12, so we have to enter the review week directly after New Year's Day. Time is still quite tight.

Places like libraries and study rooms have long been occupied.

Although Jiang Qin is the first learning star of Linyi University, the school will ensure that he passes for the sake of their own face. However, there are also some old professors in Linyi University who are obsessed with academics and will not give face to anyone. Therefore, he still needs to learn what he should learn, at least it will be acceptable when grading the papers.

Just like advanced mathematics, if you don’t learn it, you won’t even be able to write the wrong answers, so why should you write the Pythagorean theorem?

Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully for a long time, he was shocked and wondered what the hell the Pythagorean theorem is.

It was a wrong payment, after all it was a wrong payment...

The only theorem I was familiar with also left me quietly, just like love.

Jiang Qin sighed, got out of bed, and found that the three guys in the dormitory were already half-sitting on the bed and starting to review seriously.

Especially Cao Guangyu and Ren Ziqiang, they used all kinds of conspiracies and tricks last time, fearing that their brothers would do well in the exam, but ended up failing. This time they have learned to be honest, and they understand that brothers may cheat each other and the routines may fail, but they won’t fail the exam, because if they fail the exam, they really won’t.

"Brother Cao, how much have you reviewed?"

"Seven or eight, it's almost over."

Ren Ziqiang's face changed and he secretly sped up.

However, Jiang Qin does not need to study as hard as them, because he has a personal teacher who teaches quickly and well and does not charge tuition. The key is that if he studies well, he will get rewards, but it will cost him a little money.

Jiang Qin got out of bed, washed up briefly, put on his coat, and went to the library trembling.

"Jiang Qin, what are the characteristics of an imperfectly competitive market?"

Jiang Qin in the library sat up straight with confidence: "I know this question, choose A."

Feng Nanshu was stunned for a moment: "This is an overview question, not a multiple-choice question."

"Wasn't it a multiple-choice question yesterday? It's not the same today. What did I say? Women are fickle."

Feng Nanshu bluffed: "Did you forget everything you reviewed yesterday?"

"I haven't forgotten everything. At least I remember choosing A for this question."

Gao Wenhui, who was typing away on the computer, couldn't help but look up and said, "I still can't figure out how you became a star student."

Jiang Qin thought for a moment and said, "Some people say it's because of her looks."

"????"

"I didn't say this. Someone really spread it outside, complaining that they didn't expect a good school like Linda to have shady dealings, and that awards were given to those who were good-looking."

Feng Nanshu raised her head and looked at him: "It's wrong for them to say that. It's not your fault that you are good-looking."

Jiang Qin nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that no one understands me."

"There really aren't two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed..."

Gao Wenhui looked at them and said, "At least you have the achievements of entrepreneurship. I am different. If I fail the exam, I will have a hard time for years."

Jiang Qin nodded in agreement: "I'm pretty much the same. Starting a business is one thing, but if you don't do well in the exam, you'll still be criticized."

Feng Nanshu looked up at them and said, "I will definitely do well in the exam, and Jiang Qin's mother won't criticize me."

"Are you going to my house to celebrate the New Year again?"

"I'm going to..."

Jiang Qin simply spread his hands and said, "Why would I learn anything? Just passing the exam will be enough."

In addition to dealing with final exams, other chores to deal with in January include the New Year dinners of various branches.

In 2008, when the Zhihu project was launched, the first batch of employees consisted of only twelve people, and most of the 208 seats were not even full.

In the blink of an eye, 2010 has arrived, and the number of regular employees of Zhihu and Pintuan has reached 130, and this number does not include part-time staff in universities, employees of branch stations in other places, and Pintuan's delivery staff.

In the past, year-end parties only required setting up a table in Room 207, and even if the venue was spacious enough, it would not cost more than 500 yuan. However, with the development of the company, group gatherings have become inconvenient.

At noon, Jiang Qin left the library and came to the entrepreneurship base to assign some party arrangements to everyone.

"Now the business scope has become wider and the team has been dispersed, but cohesion is still necessary, so during this period, each team should start to organize a year-end dinner."

"Lanlan and Sunai are responsible for arranging the dinner for the group buying branch."

"Tan Qing and Jin Rui are in charge of the dinner for the Linchuan Merchants and the Jinsinan Foundation."

"Wenhao, Feiyu, Xuemei, and Xuyu are responsible for leading the content department, technical department, and financial department."

"I'm...in charge of the boss lady."

After hearing Jiang Qin's arrangement, everyone in Room 208 couldn't help but purse their lips, thinking that the boss was really a piece of shit, always saving the best things for themselves.

Wei Lanlan couldn't help but ask: "Boss, what is the standard for the year-end dinner?"

"Let's give each person 500 yuan. Also, remember to give out the year-end bonus at the party. It should be in cash, in wads. We've been busy all year, and the end of the year is the best time to show off. We must show off our nobility."

Xu Yu also added, "All department leaders should count the number of people and submit the application within three days. If you are not sure, you can also get the invoice for reimbursement after the dinner."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but straighten their chests a little.

They were used to staying in Room 208 and being commanded by Jiang Qin, so the feeling of being a leader was not very obvious. But when Jiang Qin asked them to take the teams they were responsible for out for dinner and personally distribute the year-end bonuses, they could feel the change in their status.

Yes, it is impossible for the boss to do everything personally, especially as the team grows, which also means increased management difficulty.

Just like this year-end party, they are finally going to make their debut and take charge of their own business.

Thinking of this, everyone in Room 208 took action, some sending out notifications and some making restaurant reservations.

The team's year-end dinner has been arranged, but there is another dinner that Jiang Qin needs to attend in person, and that is the Linchuan Business Group's year-end cocktail party.

Before the business guild was established, there was a Chamber of Commerce in Linchuan that also liked to get together at the end of the year to brag. But ever since Jiang Qin took the lead in setting up the business guild, the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce has been in name only, and some of its staff were simply absorbed directly into the Linchuan Business Guild.

Although the name and meaning are different, the custom of holding a cocktail party at the end of the year has continued.

If you make so much money but don't show off your wealth, what's the difference between that and walking at night in fine clothes? At eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Qin drove to Longkai International Hotel and found that the banners had been put up. The hotel was full of successful people in suits and leather shoes. When they saw Jiang Qin, they immediately greeted him with a smile and invited him to the main table.

To be honest, the cocktail party held by the Linchuan Merchants Group was much bigger than the original Linchuan Chamber of Commerce.

It's not just the number of people, the entire banquet hall is magnificent, and the smell of money is everywhere. Moreover, the waitresses are all wearing cheongsams with slits that go all the way to their belly buttons.

"The last time I attended a party, I sat at the last table. There wasn't even a fruit plate on that table, only a plate of melon seeds."

“Is this true or false?”

"Of course, at that time I got in through Mr. He's connections. I didn't even dare to breathe when I heard all the CEOs talking about business. I remember there was even a boss who treated me like a waiter."

Hearing this, the big bosses surrounding him thought he was joking and showed expressions of disbelief.

In their eyes, Jiang Qin was a man as brilliant as the morning star, a man who could turn the tide. How could he be so humble at times?

Jiang Qin knew they didn't believe him, so he spoke with a somewhat nostalgic tone: "You know, I used to do group buying in stores. At that time, it was really difficult for me to find cooperative merchants. I couldn't contact anyone at all."

Some CEOs with the surname Wang were stunned: "That's not right, CEO Jiang. I remember that your first call was directly to me. I was wondering how you knew my personal number."

"That was a little trick I used. It's a bit embarrassing to say it. At that time, I was still a little-known person. I just wanted to join in the fun and ask for a business card."

"But Mr. He told me that I am not qualified enough and asked me not to ask for a business card."

"I thought I couldn't come here for nothing, so I came up with a crooked trick."

"Do you remember that there was a business card display area for business elites at the entrance of the banquet last year? I did that. I spent a hundred dollars to get the sign-in attendant to leave. The girl at the entrance of the banquet hall is my person. I just wanted to get the business cards of the big guys."

“…”

After hearing these words, the place suddenly fell silent. The people who had just been smiling could not help but look at each other, their expressions turning into shock.

They really didn't know about this and until now they still thought it was a new trick of the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce.

I remember that several people present had a heated argument over the business card display area, just to argue about whose business card should be in the first row and whose should be in the second row.

In their view, the front row represents identity and status. Who would have thought that from that moment on, President Jiang had already taken advantage of this and used them as pawns on the chessboard.

These people originally thought they were good at doing business, but at this moment they suddenly felt that they were not so good at it.

At this moment, a waiter behind him suddenly leaned over to Jiang Qin's ear and said that someone was looking for him outside.

Jiang Qin nodded, put down his glass and followed him out.

As soon as he walked out of the banquet hall, he saw the top leader of Linchuan coming over, followed by a few people. As soon as they met, they began to greet each other warmly.

"Boss Jiang, let me introduce you. This is Boss Lei, Boss Fang and Boss Yan from Yangzhou, Boss Wang and Boss Sui from Xingzhou, and Boss Weizhou..."

"They heard that we are upgrading our industry in Linchuan, and they know that the business environment here is good and the support is strong, so they all want to come here to start a company. You are the head of the business group, so I specially brought them here to meet you this time."

While we were talking, bosses from other places came up to shake hands and greet us, and most of their greetings were about how much they had heard of our great name.

After the pleasantries were over, the leader asked his secretary to hand over a briefcase: "I've prepared the things you want for you."

"Thank you for your support, please take a seat. You will come up to the stage and give us instructions on our work."

"Forget it. I won't show up at this kind of occasion. It's not appropriate. Just do your best, Mr. Jiang. The whole Linchuan will support you."

After the leaders and those out-of-town bosses left, Jiang Qin opened the briefcase. Inside were rows of identity cards, all black, with the logo of the Linchuan business group printed on them - two tightly clenched fists.

Jiang Qin called a few waiters and asked them to distribute the food according to the list.

When he first started his business, he once said that an enterprise needs cohesion, and the current Linchuan business community needs cohesion even more. This identity card is actually prepared to bring everyone together, just like an employee's work ID card.

After a while, Jiang Qin took his card and went on stage, raising the microphone to his lips.

"I believe everyone has received their membership cards. This can be considered an identity symbol for our business group."

"There is an entrepreneur club in the western suburbs. It's very large and has golf courses, swimming pools, mountains and rivers, green trees and red walls. You can enter at any time with this card."

"In addition, Linchuan Airport has specially opened a rest area and VIP channel for the Linchuan business group. If you enter with this card, someone will be there to receive you."

"And it is also an independent account of Linchuan Bank. After opening it by yourself, it will have great priority in some banking services."

"I know that we are all people of status and these things are not rare, but this is the support given to us by the Linchuan Municipal Government, and it is also an affirmation and certification of us."

"One more thing."

Jiang Qin paused and said, "The number of this card will not increase in the short term. I hope everyone can keep it properly."

Sometimes, when it comes to more official words, you can’t just listen to the surface, but also have to listen to the subtext.

There will not be any more additions in the short term, which means that the membership of the Linchuan Merchants Group has been fixed. If you want to join later, the threshold may become very high.

In other words, it doesn’t matter what the card does, what matters is what it represents.

The bosses at the scene looked at the cards in their hands, and for some reason, they suddenly felt like they had found their home, as if they had suddenly had a collective identity that was tightly bound together in the business world where they were fighting alone.

The chambers of commerce in the past were just bragging, but now the business groups are really working together. Thinking of this, I feel a surge of sense of belonging.

Qin Zhihuan recently returned from Shanghai and was also at the cocktail party, where he received his own ID card.

He looked at the card, and thought about the ups and downs of Jiang Qin's journey. He couldn't help but sigh, and thought to himself, "Cousin, this is not just nugget gold, it's going to be a diamond mine."

"Oh yeah, there's something I forgot to mention."

"Take this card and you can drink Xitian milk tea for free, but I advise you to be kind."

Four thousand for a monthly ticket!!!      (End of this chapter)
