Chapter 411 College Student Group Purchase Representative
Because of the group buying food festival incident, the truth about how many group buying websites there are in the university town could no longer be concealed, so the work badges that were remade by the group buying team and the substitute badges were all invalidated.
It was not until this time that the situation gradually became clear.
What the fuck is this nine-family fight? It's all role-playing! They were confused when they were beaten before. Damn, how come the martial arts of these nine group-buying websites seem to be from the same school? They all use fists first and then kicks to grab. Now they understand. Wow, they are not only a coach, but also a company.
On September 23, Jiang Qin arrived in Shanghai on the afternoon flight. Looking at the employees with new work badges, the corners of his mouth gradually rose.
The group-buying logo is still the best looking one. It is full of energy and vitality at first glance.
"Boss, shall I book a hotel for you?"
"Don't they provide food and accommodation? You don't need to book a hotel. You can just get a high-end night's sleep for free."
Jiang Qin took a tour of the Shanghai branch, and then asked Tan Qing to drive him to the hotel reserved by Lashou.com to check in.
Some hotels may look ordinary, but as long as you don't spend any money, the experience will immediately be five-star.
"Boss, do I need to go with you tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is a cocktail party? Then come with me and go get to know some people first. After all, you will have to deal with them when the group buying business is fully launched."
Tan Qing thought for a moment and said, "The group buying team has a meeting tomorrow, so I'll go directly to the cocktail party this afternoon."
Jiang Qin hummed, took out the invitation letter from his pocket and took a look at it. After sitting on the plane for more than two hours, the invitation letter had become wrinkled in his pocket.
Boss Jiang smoothed it out a little, then got out of the car, entered the hotel, checked in, put down his luggage, and went to the buffet restaurant on the second floor.
In order to show its style and pattern, Lashou.com invited many websites, so the entire buffet restaurant was full of people.
These people are usually dressed in suits and have professional smiles on their faces. They extend their hands and shake hands with this and that, just like they are friends they have known for years. They have already started invisible socializing before the exchange conference even starts.
Only Jiang Qin came to the beverage area slowly, reached out and took out a highball glass, poured some apple juice into it, and disguised it as champagne.
Apart from drinks, there were few alcoholic beverages in the buffet restaurant. There was red wine, but no champagne. Jiang Qin held the wine glass with a very high attitude.
Some socialites even came to ask, "Brother, where did you get the champagne?"
Jiang Qin smiled without saying anything, looking unfathomable.
After dinner, the staff of Lashou.com rushed to the hotel and gathered everyone on the first floor to exchange the invitation letters for tickets for the next two days.
Jiang Qin also met several other teams that were also university startups, including Huicui.com, Daxueyoupin, Yituan.com, and Higoutuan.
Moreover, these people knew each other before. Upon asking, it turned out that they were old friends who had participated in the College Student Entrepreneurship Competition together at the beginning of the year.
Where there are people, there is the underworld, and where there is the underworld, there are people who like to take the lead. So just after dinner, Jiang Qin was called out for a midnight snack by a group of entrepreneurial college students.
The official cocktail party held by Lashou.com will be tomorrow, and the exchange conference will be the day after tomorrow. It is the main venue for the most popular shopping websites on the market to show off, and these college students have nothing to do with it, so these entrepreneurial college students plan to show off tonight! "When I first built the website, I spent a total of 76,000 yuan. I didn't expect that in half a year, the additional investment has reached 430,000 yuan."
"More than 400,000 is too scary. Brother Guo Feng is probably the one who invested the most among our group!"
"I remember Sister Yaqian also invested fifty, right? And Lashou.com also invested more than 200,000 yuan in you later?"
"Brother Guo Feng, Sister Ya Qian, and Wen Chao, they are all the best of our college student team, and they represent the face of our college student group purchase."
"I can't say about the appearance, but we are probably the only ones who have made it big."
Under the night sky, the seafood night stall not far from the hotel has orange lights scattered all over the ground. It is surrounded by a huge crowd of people and various neon signs are constantly flashing. As people come and go, the bustling atmosphere of the downtown area continues to fill the air.
Fifteen people, representing the college students' group purchase, sat around a plastic round table, and the topic of discussion mainly revolved around three people.
Guo Feng, a second-year graduate student at a key university in the south, is the founder of Huicui.com and won the bronze medal in the College Student Entrepreneurship Competition.
Song Yaqian, a senior student at Yenching University, is a beautiful girl with long straight black hair. She is the founder of Higoutuan and the winner of the silver medal in the College Students Entrepreneurship Competition.
There is another one named Zhang Wenchao, who graduated from graduate school last year, but because he started in college, he can also be considered a college student entrepreneur.
The most interesting thing is that Zhang Wenchao had been in the news before. He was a very famous child prodigy in a county town in the north. He completed three years of elementary school, one year of junior high school, and two years of high school. So although he is of a higher generation, his age is actually about the same as everyone else.
"Sister Yaqian, are you going to speak on behalf of the college student market at the exchange conference the day after tomorrow?"
Song Yaqian was wearing a black sweater, black trousers, and long black hair, looking cool and elegant: "Yes, I may need to speak on behalf of everyone and talk about the situation of the group buying market in the university town."
Zhang Wenchao put down his glass and sighed, "I was the gold medalist in that competition. I didn't expect that Yaqian would do better in the end."
"It's not that I'm doing well, it's mainly because I have the advantage of location."
Song Yaqian smiled and explained, "Kyoto is the business area of Lashou.com, and I was lucky enough to catch a fast ship. If you, Wen Chao, were also in Kyoto, Lashou.com might not choose you over me."
Guo Feng, who was standing by, couldn't help but lower his voice after hearing this: "Yaqian, does Lashou.com want to acquire your HiGoGroup?"
"I have that intention, but it's not time yet. A while ago, a website popped up in Kyoto and competed with me for the business in the university town. I think Lashou.com's investment in me is related to this foreign website."
"That's possible. After all, I won't allow anyone to snore beside my bed."
As they were talking, everyone at the table showed envious expressions and couldn't help but sigh as they looked at each other.
It is impossible for college students to continue running a group buying website because they do not have that much capital and there is no other development path. The best result is to sell it to already famous websites such as Lashou, Nuomi or Suixintuan.
In other words, they set up the website in a rush, but their original purpose was actually to sell it.
But even if you want to sell, others may not necessarily want to buy, so people like Song Yaqian who have found sponsors in advance are particularly envied.
Moreover, Lashou.com is currently the leading group buying company with a strong financial background, and its bid will definitely not be low. Being able to find such a strong sponsor, Song Yaqian can rest assured in the future. She will be better than them in anything she does. This is the benefit of having a financial sponsor.
Take this exchange meeting for example. The college student market is actually not taken seriously. However, because Higotuan accepted investment from Lashou.com, Song Yaqian could easily get a chance to speak, which is very eye-catching.
As we chatted, everyone had almost finished eating.
As a result, everyone's attention at the table began to shift to Jiang Qin.
"Brother, which school are you from?"
"Jiang Qin, a junior at Jeju Vocational College."
Jiang Qin smiled slightly, reached out and picked up a lobster shell and put it in his mouth.
After hearing this, everyone present was slightly stunned, then smiled awkwardly and ignored it. They thought to themselves how could there be a poor student among our group of top students? He must be just another freeloader.
What does it mean to freeload?
They are the kind of people who didn't receive an invitation but tried every possible means to use their connections to get an invitation letter, intending to gild their reputation so that they can ask for a higher price when they sell the website.
Seeing the people's increasingly contemptuous looks, Jiang Qin didn't say much. He peeled another shrimp shell and thought that the bill for this party hasn't been paid yet. If I want to show off, I will definitely not be able to escape the fate of paying for it later.
With this money, I might as well treat those three guys in the dormitory to a meal.
Sure enough, after the party was over, Song Yaqian was the one who was responsible for paying the bill. There was no other way, if you wear the crown, you must bear its weight. You have pretended so much, how can you not pay the bill?
After leaving the seafood stall, everyone walked towards the hotel. Passing by a sweet milk tea shop, Song Yaqian suddenly stopped and offered to treat everyone to milk tea.
"Does your school have this store? Our school has one, and it's very popular. I didn't expect there is a branch in Shanghai."
"Xitian, there is also a store of theirs being renovated in our school recently."
"This milk tea brand is very popular in our northern cities. There are two near my home."
After Song Yaqian finished speaking, she asked them one by one what flavor they wanted. Since Rose Taro is Xitian’s main signature flavor, most of them chose this.
But when it was Jiang Qin's turn, he asked for the most expensive one without blushing or breathing heavily.
My family buys the most expensive little rich woman to make money.
Song Yaqian smiled helplessly, said nothing, and ordered him a cup of very expensive hand-brewed fruit tea.
Guo Feng helped to pass the tea over, but when Jiang Qin reached out to take it, Guo Feng saw the Patek Philippe on his wrist and was startled, with a strange look on his face.
“Is it delicious?”
"Not bad, no wonder it's so popular."
Song Yaqian pursed her lips gracefully, then turned to look at everyone: "Where are you going later? Back to the hotel?"
Zhang Wenchao stretched lazily: "We finally got together, how about going to the bar?"
"That's fine. Anyway, the cocktail party doesn't start until tomorrow afternoon. Let's end it later tonight and sleep in in the morning."
Jiang Qin had been avoiding staying up late and keeping healthy since his rebirth, so he waved goodbye and planned to go back to the hotel to sleep.
Everyone also felt that Jiang Qin was out of tune with them, had little to talk about and was rather boring, so they didn't even try to persuade him to stay. They just exchanged pleasantries and asked him to drive slowly, and then they parted ways.
When a group gathering is at a late stage and someone suddenly leaves, the topic usually shifts to that person.
Because you have already pretended everything you need to pretend and talked about everything you need to talk about, you can only find topics to talk about with the people who have left. Otherwise, it would be so awkward to have nothing to say.
"That guy just now was a little funny. He ordered the most expensive milk tea..."
"I'm a junior at a vocational college. This is the first time I've heard that a vocational college can be called a university..."
"Hey, he also brought a Patek Philippe."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but reveal an expression of being unable to hold back.
Vocational college, seeing others ordering the most expensive milk tea, there is no need to say more about the composition of this Patek Philippe, it must be a fake.
In fact, it is normal to bring some A-grade goods to such occasions to show off, but it is a bit outrageous to bring an A-grade Patek Philippe. Can't Cartier, Omega and Longines?
If you wear this kind of watch, people may still believe it is real, because everyone is an entrepreneur and can afford it if they grit their teeth. But for Patek Philippe, let alone college students, even real businessmen would not dare to wear it.
"By the way, speaking of tomorrow's cocktail party, everyone must wear suits. I heard that many investors will also be there. If you can curry favor with them, you won't have to worry about anything."
"Brother Guo Feng is right. Finding investors depends on tomorrow's cocktail party."
As everyone was talking, they walked along the street to the door of a bar. Following the sound of "Suwei, Suwei", they entered a colorful magical world.
