Chapter 262 The Backlash of the Study Star
In the following days, Jiang Qin continued to perfect his plan to hide his sword.
This plan is simple and complex at the same time. The core operation is what was mentioned in the meeting some time ago, which is to limit group buying to Linchuan, not take any extra actions before the third-party payment software obtains the license for real-time payment collection, and then use the time difference to promote Zhihu nationwide.
To the outside world, he wants to show that group buying is rubbish and useless, just a toy I made up casually, a part for monetization, and Zhihu is my best product, Jeju·Daniel Wu·Qin.
Group buying is rubbish, even dogs wouldn’t do it, Zhihu is awesome, it’s number one in the world!
Of course, there are definitely people who don’t believe it, but at the current stage when third-party payment software cannot bypass the banking system, group buying really cannot be promoted nationwide.
After all, it is only 2009 and even the biggest rival Meituan has not yet been established, because it is stuck at this link and cannot be resolved.
Even Taobao encountered repeated setbacks when it was transforming and seeking investment, and was regarded as a joke. Who could have predicted in advance how successful group buying would eventually be?
Especially the current merchant-charged verification model of group buying is equivalent to handing your lifeline into someone else’s hands. Even a dog would shake his head when seeing this, let alone investors.
Under such circumstances, as long as Zhihu becomes powerful, Pintuan can always live in its shadow and continue to develop.
"Damn, I'm such a little genius!"
Jiang Qin was extremely complacent, and when he was happy, Feng Nanshu was doted on. She was held in his arms for more than two hours. The whole fair, rich and beautiful girl just softened in his arms, with stars in her eyes.
Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin...
The little rich woman sat in his arms, kicking her feet in the air.
As a result, the next day, when Jiang Qin saw the morning news about Linchuan Minsheng, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Jiang Qin is the academic star of Linchuan University. He is a man of both good character and academic excellence, and he has a great vision."
"I was almost outsmarted by him when I first met him."
"He has a long-term vision, as if he can predict the future. He can always anticipate things that haven't happened yet and make adequate preparations in advance."
"In fact, the reform of Wanzhong Mall was actually inspired by Jiang Qin. Without him, the reform of Wanzhong would not have been so smooth."
"To be frank, Jiang Qin is a business genius. Cooperating with him is the best decision I have ever made in my life."
On the TV screen, He Yijun's old face appeared in front of the camera with a serious face, and he gave Jiang Qin a lot of flattery during the interview.
He actually had good intentions, because he knew that group buying was being promoted all over the city, so of course he wanted to use the news to promote it. But Jiang Qin's scalp went numb after reading it, and he thought to himself, I'm still holding a sword, but now my underwear is about to be stripped off, okay?
Also, the Study Star Award is a fake award. It's fine if we brag about it in private, but how can we talk about it on TV? What if, let's just say what if, if this matter is exposed, will we still have face? The most terrifying thing is that Lao He put too much on me, saying that he can predict the future. Who can stand this?
At this moment, the news screen changed and a woman in her forties appeared on the screen. This person was no stranger to Jiang Qin. She was Wang Peixiang, the boss of Vienna Hotel.
"Jiang Qin is a legendary figure, a brave and fearless pioneer. His greatest strength is his understanding of people's hearts."
"At the beginning of this year, Pintuan approached me to discuss cooperation, but because it was a university project, I declined. However, he took the opportunity when I went to the beauty salon for skin care and sent a supervisor to chat with me. He convinced me during the two hours when I couldn't move."
"For a person like this, his future is definitely limitless."
“…”
After reading the news, Jiang Qin turned his head with great seriousness: "Professor, why do these media seem to be targeting me?"
Professor Yan pondered for a while and said, "Logically, this shouldn't happen. Although group buying is very popular now, it shouldn't be reported continuously. There must be something wrong."
“Someone is boosting?”
"Well, it's probably related to Linchuan's continuous promotion of investment this year."
Linchuan is located in the northwest of the country. It is a typical industrial city with slow economic development, heavy industrial accumulation and relatively traditional concepts.
But because of its rich resources, the GDP of this place has always been high.
To put it bluntly, this city is very rich, but its market economy and consumption capacity have always been at a medium level.
To this end, the Linchuan government has been trying every means to stimulate consumption and attract foreign companies to settle in, attempting to use external forces to promote industrial upgrading, shift the development direction to emerging industries, and create a good economic cycle.
But even though all regions are making every effort to launch a combination of measures, the market economy here is still half-dead and the residents' consumption capacity is very low.
As a result, just when everyone was at a loss, a group buying event inexplicably appeared in the city. After a few combined efforts, the consumption level of the entire city was stimulated.
Especially in several areas outside the CBD, many new stores are being prepared, with a strong momentum to make money.
On the other hand, the situation of attracting investment has become much smoother. Even big bosses from other places have made special trips to Linchuan to visit and learn about the new business model of Wanzhong Mall.
A small sign can reveal a big picture. The leaders of Linchuan City seemed to have seen some very good signs, so they decided to make a big fuss in this regard.
They want to use group buying as a tool to continuously promote consumption upgrades, create a good market ecology, and then attract more businesses to Linchuan.
"It seems that it is better to guide than to block. Instead of letting others talk nonsense, I might as well speak out from my own experience and minimize the impact." Jiang Qin couldn't help but say.
Professor Yan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what he meant: "Blocking is indeed not as good as draining, because if the blockage is too severe, the river water will often burst in unexpected directions."
"Okay, professor, just enjoy the air conditioning. I'm going to go out for a while."
"You're going to be interviewed?"
Jiang Qin's face turned black. "I want to study. Lao He said on TV that I am a star student. When I am on Forbes, someone will definitely dig this up. It will be so embarrassing!"
Professor Yan was also a little confused: "What exactly is a learning star?"
"I got this title by cheating. When I was cooperating with Wanzhong Mall, I used it several times in order to get Linda to endorse my credit. But now it's starting to backfire on me. I'm already in college, but I'm still forced to study. It's fucking painful!"
Jiang Qin walked out of Room 208 cursing, returned to the dormitory to pick up his new textbooks, and then went to the teaching building.
But learning is something that requires fate. You can't just sit down and pick up a pen to learn. So Jiang Qin was extremely bored and kept playing with Feng Nanshu's little hands under the table.
When it was time for the second class, before the bell rang, the vice president of the school student union, Tan Shipeng, arrived.
Brother Peng strolled around the corridor at the entrance with the style of a vice chairman, and then waved to Jiang Qin.
"What's wrong, Brother Peng?" Jiang Qin walked out of the classroom.
Tan Shipeng coughed and said, "Well, Principal Zhang wants to ask you something."
"But I'm in class."
"I have already approved the leave note for you."
Tan Shipeng took out a note from his pocket: "Just give this note to your squad leader."
Jiang Qin took the note and took a look at it. It had the words "application for leave" written on it. The signature was not from Principal Zhang, but from the red official seal of the college student union.
I skipped so many classes that the teacher would probably think it was fake even if I had a note.
"If I give this note to the teacher, I won't be considered skipping class?"
Tan Shipeng nodded: "Yes."
"Then please give me some blank cards and put the official seal of your school's student union on them. I will fill them out myself later." Jiang Qin opened his mouth loudly.
Tan Shipeng was stunned when he heard this: "This semester is almost over, why do you still need a leave note?"
"For skipping classes next semester."
"But it's against the rules."
Jiang Qin looked at him with the cold eyes of a rich woman: "Brother Peng, the rules are for ordinary students in the classroom, not for outstanding people like you and me."
Hearing these words, Tan Shipeng couldn't help but straighten his chest and feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
After a while, Jiang Qin came to Zhang Baiqing's office and found that Principal Zhang's face was not looking good, but unusually serious.
"Good morning, Principal."
Zhang Baiqing looked at him sternly: "I heard that Linchuan TV station wants to do an interview with you, why do you keep putting it off?"
"The final exam is coming soon. I have to review seriously, Principal. I don't have the time to worry about these things." Jiang Qin said sternly.
"Just fool others, but don't fool yourself. Your absence rate this semester has already reached the red line, and you're still reviewing seriously. Even if you open the book now, it's still previewing!"
“…”
Jiang Qin really couldn't refute: "The principal wants me to be interviewed?"
"The school has made great efforts to train you, provide you with resources and venues, hoping that you can stand out as an entrepreneurial star of our Linchuan University. This will not only enhance the image of the school, but will also be of great benefit to the summer enrollment that will begin soon!"
Zhang Baiqing's implication was that he should go for the interview as soon as possible.
In fact, this matter is very easy to understand. Linchuan University has been supporting Jiang Qin all the way, actually waiting for him to become famous and bring benefits to Linchuan University in all aspects.
However, Jiang Qin has been secretive and unwilling to show up, so these benefits are undoubtedly greatly reduced.
Summer enrollment is about to begin. Not to mention students from other places, students from Linchuan and surrounding areas are still in high demand. If Jiang Qin appears on TV, it will undoubtedly be the best publicity for Linchuan University's enrollment.
Schools are student-centered. Running a school is like running a brand. Who can stand it if good things cannot be shown?
What's more, the Ministry of Education has been issuing documents to encourage college students to start their own businesses. With Jiang Qin as a living signboard, all external work will be much easier next year.
"Principal, if someone else were to persuade me, I would definitely not go, but if it was you, I would go for the interview right away."
"real?"
"I will always remember the cultivation you have given me, and I will listen to any of your requests." Jiang Qin covered his heart with his hand.
Principal Zhang felt a little embarrassed after hearing this: "Jiang Qin, I'm not forcing you, but the school really needs to achieve some results in college student entrepreneurship. Is there anything else your office needs? Feel free to ask."
