Chapter 65: Promotion Strategy (2)

Seeing their own hard work trampled like this, a freshman wanted to go knock on the door to argue, but Yang Tianxing stopped him: "What are you doing?"

"I don't intend to cause trouble, I just want to ask them why they don't respect other people's labor."

Yang Tianxing gave a "haha" laugh, stepped forward to hook his arm around the freshman's neck, and said while walking: "What are we doing?"

The freshman was a bit bewildered by this out-of-the-blue question and said: "Promoting and advertising the 101 delivery business."

"And the purpose?"

"To train our abilities and earn some living expenses."

"That's it, then."

Yang Tianxing said to this freshman, and also to everyone in the small team: "There is no easy way to make money. As for training abilities, this kind of situation is the time to hone yourself. Different ways of responding can lead to different results; arguing is definitely the most meaningless method."

The freshman was still somewhat indignant: "I just feel they don't respect us. Are we just going to swallow it like this?"

"Otherwise?"

Yang Tianxing lit a cigarette and countered: "Rice comes in five grains, people have seven emotions and six desires; everyone has times when they are in a bad mood. They threw it away this time, we'll just come back again later."

"If you're afraid of hardship and afraid of losing face, then don't come out to work part-time at all."

Yang Tianxing patted him on the shoulder, then hurried off to other male dormitories.

The situation in the dorms below was actually about the same; it was either polite or cold. Of course, there were also those in the middle, who were either uninterested or indifferent.

For example, in a dorm where they were playing cards, the roommates were noisily huddled together playing. When Yang Tianxing and his group suddenly burst in and stated their identities, these college students just gave perfunctory "uh-huhs" and "yeahs" while counting their cards.

Yang Tianxing wasn't in a hurry; he patiently watched the game from behind, and as soon as a winner was decided, he quickly handed over the flyers.

Winners were generally in a good mood, so they could patiently listen to Yang Tianxing speak, but as soon as they started drawing cards again, Yang Tianxing would stop and take his leave, not disturbing their enthusiasm for the game at all.

Around 9 p. m., Yang Tianxing finally finished sweeping this dormitory building, but there were still over a dozen male dorm buildings in the Finance Institute, and there was plenty of work to do in the future.

After exiting the dorm building, the members of the first team thought they were about to be dismissed, but Yang Tianxing called out to them: "Let's go to the cafeteria for some milk tea, my treat."

The first floor of the cafeteria was already closed, but the second floor stayed open later. Of course, the food was long gone, and they only served some milk tea and desserts.

Just as they lifted the plastic curtain, a greasy smell of food hit their noses. The lights weren't all on, and the row in the corner was pitch black.

Yet, there were quite a few people in such an environment, and there were even students from other departments discussing problems inside.

As for that row in the corner, there was no need to even look; since they had arrived late, there were no empty seats at all, as they were all occupied by pairs of college student couples huddled there.

There was no help for it; it was cold outside, and the artificial lake was no longer the most suitable place for intimacy, so the warm cafeteria was the first choice.

As for the greasy smell, in the face of surging hormones, it was nothing.

"It would be difficult to trick Liu Jiaoyue into coming here, and Tan Zhizhi probably wouldn't agree either, but if you don't come to the cafeteria's 'throne' for some intimacy during college, these four years won't have much meaning."

Yang Tianxing thought about these dissolute things in his heart, but on the surface, he said with a straight face: "You guys go find seats, I'll go buy the milk tea."

"Wanwan Milk Tea" was a newly opened cold drink shop in the cafeteria. Recently, milk tea with coconut jelly and pearls had gradually become popular in the mainland, and Tan Zhizhi would have a cup in her hand whenever she was free.

After the milk tea was bought back, the members of the first team thanked him very politely. They hadn't expected to have milk tea to drink, and their favorability toward Yang Tianxing as their "boss" increased quite a bit.

"Tonight is our first activity, everyone share your thoughts."

Yang Tianxing took out a cigarette, asked around, and finding no one smoked, he lit one for himself.

Conducting a summary of experience after a group activity was not only a good way to check for gaps and make up for them, but it also helped to close the distance between individuals and improve Yang Tianxing's status within the group.

Seeing that some people were too shy to speak, Yang Tianxing said to Lin Bing: "Senior Lin, why don't you lead the way."

Lin Bing agreed readily. He put down his milk tea and said: "I have one realization: part-time work is not easy. Even if others ignore you, you must not get angry; explain things clearly with a calm heart."

"Continue, everyone take turns."

Yang Tianxing pointed to the student next to Lin Bing.

"I think that preparation must be thorough. Next time, we should bring a notebook to record and analyze the specific situation of each dorm."

"Yeah, I think we must have patience and must explain to others that we are not scammers."

"I'd like to offer a small suggestion: can we bring some small gifts printed with '101' to promote? That might make them more accepting."

……………

After everyone had finished speaking, they all looked at Yang Tianxing.

Yang Tianxing extinguished his cigarette butt and said to everyone: "Everyone's input was excellent. I suggest everyone give themselves a round of applause."

"Clap, clap, clap."

Yang Tianxing started clapping first. The others looked at one another; even though they were a bit embarrassed, everyone did it.

This kind of behavior could constantly suggest to oneself—I can do it, I can solve all problems!

Unexpectedly, the sound of applause disturbed a group at the next table. A girl wearing glasses said: "Classmates, please be quiet. The clapping is disturbing us."

Yang Tianxing thought to himself, *I'm in the middle of brainwashing here, what the hell are you interrupting for? * He frowned and looked over; several students at the next table were looking at him with displeasure.

"Which department are you from, and what are you doing here?"

Yang Tianxing asked directly.

"We are from the Insurance and Actuarial Science Department, and we are preparing for the department debate competition."

The girl with glasses said proudly, looking quite confident.

Yang Tianxing nodded: "Looks like you're working hard, but it's useless, because the first place will definitely be our department's. You guys should go back to the dorm and play cards early."

That girl wasn't happy. With a "slap," she put down her materials: "Classmate, which department are you from?"

"I'm from the Accounting Department."

Yang Tianxing said even more arrogantly, and he looked the girl up and down: "Our Accounting Department will definitely take down your Insurance and Actuarial Science Department. When the time comes, I'll capture you and make you a girlfriend for the boys in our Accounting Department."

"How can you talk like that..."

A boy at the next table was about to stand up, but was stopped by the girl with glasses: "We are college students; we should have a battle of wits, not a battle of force. Everyone remember today's incident; when the time comes at the department debate competition, we will definitely defeat the Accounting Department soundly."

"Right! Defeat the Accounting Department!"

The boys and girls at that table said with shared hatred for the enemy.

Fortunately, they left after their pep talk. Yang Tianxing turned his head and said: "The idiots are gone, let's continue."

"Let me summarize: the most important thing about this door-to-door sales method is the ability to put yourself in the other person's shoes. Answer questions when they have them, be understanding when they are in a bad mood, and if they don't have time to talk, come back next time. In short, you must understand the customer."

The others in the squad nodded; Yang Tianxing had hit the nail on the head.

"I might not be able to follow the squad much in the future, so Senior Lin Bing should be the captain. Your squad should pick a name for yourselves, just choose one from the sects in wuxia novels."

This kind of fun suggestion was also a way to increase cohesion, and after discussing it, the group decided to call themselves the "Mount Hua Sect."

Lin Bing took the handle "Linghu Chong."

Yang Tianxing gave a few more instructions, and this fulfilling and meaningful operation finally came to an official end.

Before Yang Tianxing left, Lin Bing suddenly called out to him: "Tianxing, actually, I'm from the Accounting Department..."

"What a coincidence."

Yang Tianxing had forgotten about this; he hadn't expected the fake to meet the real one.

"Yeah, the Insurance Actuarial Department is very strong at debate competitions. I feel like our Accounting Department is going to be rubbed into the ground by them this time."

Lin Bing sighed and said.

"Brother Linghu, do not fear."

Yang Tianxing patted his shoulder: "The Humanities and Social Sciences Department will help you get revenge."
