Chapter 408 Mid-Autumn Festival
The next morning, it was Mid-Autumn Festival. This was a year when Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day did not evolve together. As an important traditional festival, the lovely Mid-Autumn Festival also had its own three-day holiday.
It is completely different from the Mid-Autumn Festival that will become an appendage of National Day in the future.
However, for some students who live too far away from home, it is not worth going back for the three-day holiday. But since it is a festival, a sense of ceremony is still necessary, so the school is very lively.
The college supermarket launched mooncake gift boxes early in the morning, and the shelves were filled with colorful mooncakes.
I have to say that Jiang Zhihua is indeed a person with a small business mind. The mooncakes she sells are all beautifully packaged individually and the price is not cheap. The product positioning is a bit like the peace apple on Christmas Eve.
In addition, some windows in the cafeteria that were not doing well also took the opportunity to do marketing, offering a free mooncake as long as you placed an order.
Business is everywhere.
Jiang Qin got up from the bed, put on his clothes and prepared to go out, but was stopped by Zhou Chao.
"Brother Jiang, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the city for a meeting."
Chaozi scratched his head: "Remember to come back early in the afternoon, let's go to the playground for dinner, drink beer and eat mooncakes."
Jiang Qin made an OK gesture: "Don't start until I come."
"Of course."
Jiang Qin opened the door and walked out, went to the cafeteria to have a meal, and was given a free mooncake, which tasted quite good.
While waiting to leave the cafeteria, Jiang Qin drove at a snail's pace on the campus road. As a result, before he reached the school gate, he saw a few familiar figures standing on the roadside setting up a small stall selling moon cakes.
Jiang Qin pulled the car to the side, lowered the window and took a look: "What are you doing?"
"Doing business." Zhuang Chen said with his chest held high.
“Selling mooncakes?”
Zhuang Chen glanced at him and said, "Don't ask if you don't want to buy it."
Jian Chun couldn't help but look at him: "Can you speak?"
"Chunchun, I'm already being very polite. Look at him parking such a big car in front of our stall. How can we sell it?"
Jiang Qin put his hand on the car window and glanced out of the window. He found that there were five large boxes behind Zhuang Chen, all of which were full of moon cakes.
You know what, there are quite a variety of flavors.
“Did you do market research before starting your business?”
Zhuang Chen raised his lips slightly: "There are three supermarkets selling mooncakes in the school. Their packaging is more exquisite, but the price is extremely expensive. Mine is cheap and affordable. You can tell which one I will choose if you think about it."
Jiang Qin looked away and looked at Song Qingqing, Jian Chun and Jiang Tian standing next to him: "You also invested money?"
"No, we don't. These mooncakes were bought by Zhuang Chen. We just came here to join in the fun."
"Did Brother Chen have breakfast this morning?"
Hearing the other person calling him brother and asking him whether he had had breakfast in a caring tone, Zhuang Chen was a little confused and didn't know what he was going to do.
Jiang Qin suddenly revealed a brilliant smile: "Then you must not know that the cafeteria gives away free mooncakes."
Zhuang Chen's face changed: "Free gift? There was no such thing last year."
"So we asked you to do market research. Linchuan is so small. How can you compare it with free ones?"
"Jiang Qin, did you come here specifically to undermine my confidence?" Zhuang Chen's face looked a little ugly.
Jiang Qin waved his hand: "I'm just giving you a piece of advice, if you can quit, do it quickly."
Zhuang Chen was not convinced at all: "Not only is it not free in the supermarket, the price is twice as much as mine. I went to observe last night and it was just as hot."
"The mooncakes in the supermarket are beautifully packaged. People don't buy them to eat, they buy them as gifts. Can you give yours as gifts? And mooncakes are just a formality, to be honest. You'll get tired of them after eating one. Why should I buy yours when the cafeteria gives them to me for free?"
“…”
"Giving them away as gifts is not good enough. If you eat them yourself, the price-performance ratio is not as good as the free gifts. What is your market positioning? You are not as handsome as me. Can you still sell mooncakes with your face?"
"????"
Jiang Qin rolled up the window and prepared to leave, but he heard Jiang Tian suddenly say, "Jiang Qin, we plan to gather at the playground for dinner this afternoon. Do you want to stay in the dormitory together?"
"It seems our dormitory also goes to the playground. You can ask Zhou Chao. We can go together. It will be more lively."
"Okay, then I'll discuss it with your dormitory." Jiang Tian responded sweetly.
Jiang Qin nodded, then turned to look at Zhuang Chen: "Brother Chen, pack me thirty mooncakes."
Zhuang Chen immediately wanted to say he would not sell it, but on second thought, he felt that what Jiang Qin said made sense. His product positioning was not clear today and it was very likely that he would not be able to sell it. However, the Mid-Autumn Festival was only one day, and if he could not sell it, it would be a real waste of his money.
There is nothing shameful about making money, so he rolled up his sleeves and started packing mooncakes for him without saying a word.
After paying the bill, Jiang Qin drove away, while Zhuang Chen sat on the chair without saying a word.
"Why don't we ask if we can return it? Jiang Qin said it can't be sold anymore." Jian Chun suddenly said.
Zhuang Chen originally wanted to withdraw the product, but when he heard the girl he liked take Jiang Qin's words as the truth, he immediately felt bad: "If he says it can't be sold, then it can't be sold? He doesn't have the final say on the market."
“…”
At the same time, Jiang Qin drove to the Entrepreneurs Club in the western suburbs, asked the waiter to prepare a meeting room, and then summoned the bosses who participated in the first, second and third rounds of brand marketing to hold a joint marketing meeting on group buying.
The theme of the meeting is that major brands in Linchuan will cooperate with each other to carry out a series of online and offline activities.
Because according to Jiang Qin's analysis of the future situation, the group buying market will definitely usher in a cooling-off period at the end of the year. Those who should be eliminated should be eliminated, and those who should be acquired should be acquired. The gap in between can be utilized.
Therefore, Jiang Qin needs to arrange the later marketing layout during this period.
"Boss Jiang, the conference room has been cleaned up. Do you think this is okay?"
"Bring some more plates over. I have a bag of mooncakes in my trunk. Put one in front of each person."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang."
The head waiter took Jiang Qin's keys, went to the parking lot and took out the mooncakes from the trunk, held them in his hands and took a look at them, his eyes a little confused.
This mooncake is not a well-known brand, and even the packaging is not very good. It is not even as exquisite as the mooncakes provided by their club. I really don’t know why President Jiang brought this bag of mooncakes here.
After a while, at Jiang Qin's request, the waiter tore off the mooncake packaging, placed it on a plate, and then took away the wrapping paper. At the same time, the CEOs involved in brand marketing also arrived and took their seats one after another under Jiang Qin's arrangement.
"Everyone, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I won't say much about blessings. I brought some mooncakes for you to try."
"I'm studying away from home and can't go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so my old mother is always worried about me. So, she was afraid that I wouldn't have mooncakes to eat, so she specially mailed a box from home. I said that they were sold at school, but my mother insisted that the mooncakes outside were not as delicious as the ones at home."
"It's not a good brand, and there aren't any high-end fillings in it, but it tastes like home after all. I can't finish it by myself, so I'll bring it out for everyone to try."
Hearing these words, the bosses of various brands in Linchuan felt flattered.
It turns out that I am sharing the mooncakes at home with them. It has nothing to do with the value of the mooncake, but what matters is the thought behind it.
For someone like Mr. Jiang, who is worth nearly 100 million yuan, it would be easy for him to buy some good mooncakes and say some polite words, but he didn't do that. Instead, he shared the simple emotions of his family with them, and this friendship made them feel precious.
Then the meeting officially began and in the blink of an eye it was already dusk.
After all, there are many brands involved in joint marketing, covering all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so there are many things that need to be explained in detail.
After the meeting, Jiang Qin shook hands and said goodbye to all the bosses one by one, and then planned to return to Linda, but found that the class group was unusually lively.
"I can't go to the playground anymore. Many clubs are holding activities there and we are not allowed to enter."
"It seems to be organized by the school. There are cameras and a large group of foreigners on the scene..."
"The venue is gone."
"Can we go to the cafeteria?"
"The cafeteria has already been full."
"We prepared so many things carefully. We were planning to watch the moon together, but now we can't even find a place to gather."
At the same time, Cao Guangyu also sent a message saying that the school was doing something fishy. There was some activity going on in the playground and people were not allowed to enter. The people in the class pooled together to buy a lot of things but couldn’t find a place to have a meal.
Feng Nanshu also sent a message immediately, saying to him, "Brother, I want to see the moon."
In fact, college students don’t have any complicated thoughts. They just want to get together and have fun. Since many people stay in their dormitories most of the time, they rely on this time to socialize.
Jiang Qin entered the address of the Entrepreneurs Club in the chat box. To be honest, if there is really no other place, let's gather here.
Then he called Wei Lanlan and asked her to go to Linda to pick up his rich wife, and to invite Dong Wenhao and Lu Feiyu to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
Old He is still busy with a project in Shanghai, and He Manqi probably has no place to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. As an uncle, I feel obligated to ask, so I sent her a text message.
The students who received the message started taking taxis and heading towards the western suburbs. They were followed by his friends, her friends' friends, and so on. Except for the group of students who lived closer to home, there were more than 30 people who came to join in the fun.
When they arrived at the door of the Entrepreneurs Club, everyone looked at each other and felt afraid to go in.
Because whether it is the endless length of the wall, the solemn architectural style, the large green space, or the six golden words "Entrepreneur Club" at the door, they all make them feel like they do not belong to this world.
At this moment, a white BMW slowly drove over. Through the half-open window, many people saw the beautiful profile of the passenger seat.
It’s clear and cold, but more charming than the moonlight tonight.
Afterwards, a group of people entered the club in a car, and then, led by Wei Lanlan, came to the terrace area by the lake.
"We are just borrowing the venue, please don't run around or throw garbage around."
"In addition, I have prepared some ingredients and barbecue tools. Those who are good at cooking can go and try it."
"Look at the moon on the left and watch the movie on the right. Don't drink too much and don't get into a fight, or you'll be fined."
"For those who want to fall in love, there is a pavilion with a corridor and a bamboo forest next to it. It is a moral depression I prepared for everyone."
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish everyone a great Mid-Autumn Festival."
Jiang Qin was standing on the terrace at this time, speaking softly, looking as handsome as Daniel Wu under the dim light of the lamppost.
Those who came to join in the fun were not only students from Class 3 of Finance, but also many from other classes, or students who were friends with students from Class 3.
They had seen Jiang Qin speak at the freshman assembly and also watched his interview broadcast in the cafeteria, but the way he made waves in school and the way he was standing in the Entrepreneurs Club at this moment gave them completely different feelings.
If I have to say, this mentality is similar to the feeling when Zhuang Chen and others were queuing at the airport and then being taken into the VIP waiting hall by Jiang Qin.
It was a sense of disparity in status. In school, no matter how awesome Jiang Qin was, he was still a student like himself. But once they left the school, they might never have the chance to enter the venues that Jiang Qin had casually arranged for them.
Cao Guangyu was so choked that he could hardly breathe. He thought, OK, OK, you lick me again, fucking lick me again, can I speak these words next time? At worst, you can let me stand beside you while you speak! Zhuang Chen was also standing under the terrace at this time, holding one tenth of the unsold mooncakes in his hand, and he was so sour that he was about to turn into a lemon.
This place is really nice, and I really don’t have the chance to come in.
But it doesn’t matter, if you don’t want to come in, then don’t come in.
But what made him uncomfortable was that Jian Chun was wearing makeup.
He squatted in the front square selling mooncakes from morning until the afternoon, and sold about thirty.
He knew that what Jiang Qin said was right. In terms of exquisiteness, his products could not compare with those sold in the college supermarket, and in terms of cost-effectiveness, they were not as good as those given away for free in the cafeteria. The reason he was able to sell thirty of them was because he had the support of his acquaintances.
It was my first time starting a business. I didn’t expect the market to be full of risks, so I failed halfway and lost more than 800 yuan.
But Zhuang Chen comforted himself that although he didn't make any money, the eight hundred yuan was worth it because he could spend a day with Jian Chun.
But what he didn't expect was that Jian Chun left not long after staying. The next time they met was when Jiang Qin sent him the address. Jian Chun was wearing a very fairy-like makeup, a kind of makeup he had never seen before, and she seemed to have also done her hair, a kind of hair he had never seen before.
"Lao Jiang, are you usually comfortable here? Why don't you bring me here."
“You’re not an entrepreneur.”
Cao Guangyu was not convinced: "But I am a rich second generation!"
Jiang Qin glanced at him and said, "Then your father can come."
Ding Xue patted Cao Guangyu and said, "Don't talk about rich second generation all the time. It's so pretentious. Let's go to the movies. What movie do you want to watch today?"
"The bull is mighty."
“What movie is this?”
Feng Nanshu next to him had bright eyes and thought that the task management system was really useful. He would assign some more tasks to the big bear next time.
