Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 122: Group Buying Website

TL: Etude

The next morning, Jiang Qin drove to Linchuan University of Science and Technology, delivering all the prepared materials.

After reviewing them, Hu Maolin, the director of the universitys Youth League Committee, nodded and stamped the work-study approval document with a red seal.

Then, Shengshi Corporation drove directly to Linchuan University of Science and Technology, delivering new signs and freshly printed flyers.

Since it was deep autumn and the temperature had dropped sharply, making mornings and evenings chilly, the use of advertising fans was no longer feasible, which Jiang Qin found slightly regrettable.

However, Shengshi also provided other alternatives for Jiang Qin to choose from, such as umbrellas, water bottles, and hats.

But compared to fans, the cost of these promotional items was too high and not economical. Moreover, if the quality was poor, they would not only fail to serve their promotional purpose but might also cause annoyance.

Damn, what if I use your umbrella on a rainy day and it breaks halfway through?

So, after weighing his options, Jiang Qin chose to stick with ordinary flyers.

The students of Linchuan University of Science and Technology were already looking forward to the campus beauty contest, so they were quite receptive to it. Jiang Qin specially instructed Pang Hai to mention the contest on the flyers, compensating for the lack of practicality of the chosen medium.

After replacing the sign of the Encounter Milk Tea Shop, the branch of the Xi Tian Milk Tea Shop at the university reopened for business.

Simultaneously, Jiang Qin gathered a large number of part-time university students to distribute flyers around the campus.

Guo Zihang, leading the flyer distribution team, worked diligently, distributing flyers all day until he was exhausted, profoundly realizing the hardships of life.

Brother Jiang, distributing flyers is really tough work.

Yeah, damn, my hands are sore.

Jiang Qin was squatting on the steps, drinking milk tea. The soreness he referred to was from holding the milk tea cup, as his flyers were on the ground, eagerly grabbed by the surrounding female students.

Seeing this, Guo Zihangs mouth twitched, Stepfather, teach me, how do you always manage to be so charming?

Want to learn?

Guo Zihang nodded fiercely, his eyes filled with endless desire.

Jiang Qin coughed, straightened his back, and slightly extended his arm as if holding something, then started drawing arcs in the air.

?!

Then, Guo Zihang practiced this motion while distributing flyers, his arms sore from the effort. He was met with rolled eyes and looks that seemed to say he was an idiot, leaving his face burning with embarrassment.

He wasnt sure if he was doing the motion wrong or missing some essential trick. Meanwhile, Jiang Qin had already returned to Linchuan University, leaving Guo without a chance to ask for advice, so he kept practicing.

That evening, while practicing Jiang Qins motion, Guo returned to his dormitory, amusing his roommates.

Old Guo, whats that motion? Turning a steering wheel with one hand?

Guo Zihang froze, then had a sudden realization, as if he had understood the true meaning of the gesture.

Damn, the stepfather meant that my charm comes from owning an Audi!

So, what was the point of just practicing the gesture? It was the car that mattered!

Unaware of Guo Zihangs drastic misunderstanding, Jiang Qin had already returned to Linchuan University in his Audi, heading to Room 208 of the Entrepreneurship Center.

Su Nai was waiting for him in the office, with the computer still on, displaying the homepage of a newly created website.

The campus beauty contest at Linchuan University of Science and Technology was gradually gaining momentum. Dong Wenhao was already busy beyond measure, but Su Nai had not been involved. Instead, as per Jiang Qins instructions, she led the new team in building a website named Group Buying.

Boss, this is the new site built according to your requirements. Take a look.

That was fast. Its only been five days, right? Su Nai, I knew I was right about you. You have the look of a successful entrepreneur.

Su Nai coughed, Dont get too excited yet, boss. This is just a framework, something like a PowerPoint presentation.

Jiang Qin was slightly disappointed, So whats it for?

Its for effective communication, to avoid starting off on the wrong foot. You have to lay a foundation before building a house, right?

Jiang Qin pulled up a chair and sat down, Alright, you make sense. Go ahead with your presentation.

Su Nai nodded and began demonstrating the various designs and details of the website. The basic sections of Group Buying include shopping, food, entertainment, and lifestyle. The subcategories are not done yet, but the functionality of the third and second-level pages is similar. Theres also the window display effect and the design of the pop-up discount pages

Thats pretty good. It includes most of what was in the plan, Jiang Qin affirmed.

Then Ill continue working in this direction.

How long will it take?

Group Buying is more complicated than Zhihu because of its many sections and features. With the six people Ive recently recruited, it will take about a month to implement all the functionalities in the plan.

Jiang Qin nodded, thinking a month wasnt too long.

The campus beauty contest at Linchuan University of Science and Technology was just starting, and from warming up to finishing, it would also take about a month. The timing matched perfectly.

Then go ahead with it. Dont worry about other things. If theres an issue, call Wei Lanlan. Shes working part-time as my secretary. Ive explained everything to her. Prioritize your work here.

Got it, boss!

Jiang Qin patted Su Nais shoulder and walked to the window, stretching lazily.

Group Buying was the next monetization tool he planned to launch. It was a significant step and an important attempt in the entrepreneurial phase, inspired, of course, by Ye Ziqing.

Professor Yan had been puzzled lately, wondering why Jiang Qin no longer inquired about entrepreneurial failures. In fact, Jiang Qin had spent an afternoon flipping through the campus newspaper, understanding the cause and effect of the situation.

Ye Ziqing was the unfortunate student Professor Yan had mentioned, stirring things up in the university like Jiang Qin since her freshman year.

Her initial platform wasnt the internet but organizing university students through QQ groups by classes and dorms. She compiled lists of desired items and collaborated with nearby merchants for bulk purchase discounts, earning a commission from the merchants.

As her network grew, so did the number of group buying channels. However, problems started to arise.

Management and procurement required more people, increasing costs and limiting future development directions.

To resolve this, Ye Ziqing created a website, allowing students to select items they wanted to buy. She then focused on the most popular items, assigning specific people to procure them.

The issue was that this move turned Ye Ziqing into a middleman.

And being a middleman usually meant pleasing neither side.

Eventually, Ye Ziqing found her team increasingly difficult to manage, and the number of part-time students she recruited grew, crowding together and becoming a huge burden for Juihui Group Buying. (Guessing thats the company name)

But Ye Ziqing didnt give up, thanks to her familys good financial situation. She started spending money to break free from constraints.

Jiang Qin didnt know the details of what happened afterward, but he guessed that things got increasingly difficult and slowed down until they fell apart.

Positioning herself as a product intermediary, addressing user needs to find sellers, worked on a small scale but had its limitations.

Had Ye Ziqing stopped to rethink, shedding the burdens in her team and changing her approach, she might not have ended in such a mess.

But one shouldnt judge her past actions with the knowledge of the future.

At that time, most people who managed group buying groups followed a similar mindset. Ye Ziqing was just following the trend and, with her substantial financial backing, inadvertently found herself in a tough spot.

Its all tears of the times.

Im different. Im a bug of the era.

Jiang Qin knew that the internet era was about to dawn, and the real future lay in creating platforms and cloud markets.

Only by being someone who can set the rules can you stand taller and go further.

However, Jiang Qin wasnt yet daring enough to think about setting rules on a large scale, as that required significant investment. But small-scale monetization was still within reach.

This task might be difficult for others, but not for Jiang Qin because he had a forum, meaning he had vast resources of users and merchants.

First, use competitions to generate traffic, then leverage that traffic to attract users.

Users are the foundation, and the group buying website would replace forum advertisements as the ultimate focus.

Jiang Qin wasnt shooting in the dark; he had a plan.

During the campus beauty contest, many merchants inquired about advertising. However, faced with high advertising costs, smaller businesses quickly backed out.

Now, by providing a platform and drawing in traffic, resistance from these businesses would likely be minimal, right?

Jiang Qin!

Just then, footsteps sounded at the door, and Tang Lin and Hong Yan arrived at room 208, followed by a workman in blue overalls. Senior Cao asked us to get the school maintenance man to fix the window in 207.

Really? Thank you so much. That window gap has been killing me. I can hardly sleep at night, and mosquitoes get in.

Jiang Qin left 208 and led the workman to 207.

He had been so busy lately that he rarely returned to his dormitory, sometimes making do with staying in 207. But that broken window had greatly diminished the quality of his sleep.

Meanwhile, Tang Lin and Hong Yan sneaked into 208 for a quiet tour, eventually fixing their gaze on a data chart on the wall.

Yan Yan, I heard that this website made over half a million in advertising fees last month. Do you think its true or false?

Hong Yan couldnt help but nod, Its probably true.

Tang Lins hand couldnt resist gliding over Jiang Qins chair, somewhat wistful, Its really impressive, but its missing something.

Whats that?

Its missing a boss lady to preside over it.

At that moment, Su Nai returned from the restroom and slightly frowned upon hearing the words boss lady.

Were they discussing a boss lady?

Yeah, the boss lady was the best, the very best in the whole world.
