Chapter 20

The Gui Ai Wang Xiangjiang parent company was successfully registered, which meant there was at least a layer of official status.

Zhong Zhiling even felt it was too immediate; the school clubs he was previously negotiating with all finalized things upon hearing the name of a Xiangjiang company.

"Zhong Zhiling, how did you find a Xiangjiang company?" Xiang Yaqian, the vice president of the Skin Beauty Inspection Association, was quite curious about this matter.

"It's not that I found them; they found us," Zhong Zhiling answered the question seriously. "This is an activity that combines the significance of a social science survey, focusing on the dating situation of college students. We even went to ask the counselor. If you don't believe me, go ask Counselor Hong Junfeng from the School of Public Health."

In the past three days, Zhong Zhiling had contacted three club associations, and an important target among them was the "Skin Beauty Inspection Association," whose business guidance unit was the School of Public Health.

He had a good memory and deliberately sought out relevant "people," applying the "control" he had learned, and mentioned the counselor in the school who had indeed filled out the questionnaire.

Xiang Yaqian nodded, no longer hesitating, just smiling: "That's great, it's just that this company is a bit stingy; we have to wait until we have orders before finalizing the sponsorship."

A 299 order with a 200 commission.

This was the agreement between the two sides.

"After all, it's a commercial company, President Xiang. This is still our own school," Zhong Zhiling explained. "Other schools are at 100; this is already what we are striving for. Besides, if this time goes well, it will be easier to get sponsorship later."

It was already higher than other schools, and there would be a next time.

Vice President Xiang Yaqian had nothing more to say.

The more Zhong Zhiling worked, the more he realized it wasn't as difficult as he had imagined. President Xiang was already the most difficult to deal with; the other two, the "Youth Health Education Association" and the "Life Care Association," were easier to communicate with than her and had agreed a step earlier.

As a result, the club activities at Nanyi University unfolded against the backdrop of the successful company registration. The three associations found a multimedia classroom and jointly invited couples in the school to participate in a social event.

As the sponsor, the three giants of Gui Ai Wang were all present, setting up a small stall in the classroom to promote the dating contract that also served as a social science survey.

Saturday morning, the activity began, and couples arrived at the classroom one after another. A rough look showed there must be one or two hundred people.

The initial segment wasn't the debut of Gui Ai Wang, but members of the "Skin Beauty Inspection Association" on stage talking about how girls should protect their skin and use cosmetics.

Yu Xing observed the situation in the room from the side. Hmm, sure enough, the girls were relatively attentive, while the male compatriots were already a bit drowsy.

Once the cosmetics segment was over, Gui Ai Wang took the stage, which also marked the company's first official appearance in business.

"Classmates, hello everyone. I am your senior Yu Xing, a first-year graduate student."

"This time, we accepted the commission of a Xiangjiang company to conduct a social survey at the school. The task is to observe and track the probability of college student couples reaching the wedding hall."

Yu Xing stood on the stage, his expression very composed, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

"What do you think is the probability for college student couples in our country?"

Some in the audience answered 30%, some 60%, and some half-and-half.

"Different people have different feelings. Some say 30%, some 60%; that's a twofold difference," Yu Xing pointed out the gap in the audience's answers and smiled. "It is precisely because it is too vague that we accepted the commission and intend to conduct a long-term tracking."

"As for this tracking, as long as you sign up, we will follow up three years later. If you get married, the company will gift you 999 roses. You can put them at home or at the wedding site."

Yu Xing stated the reward provided by the company.

The couples in the audience were slightly stirred, and naturally, someone raised a question: "Is it just signing up? Is it free?"

"It's not free, but it's not expensive. The registration fee is 299 yuan," Yu Xing answered the question directly. "I also asked this company, 'Why don't you just make it free? Why collect money?'"

"They said, it's estimated that at least half won't make it to the end. The cost of 999 roses is already very high. This 299 yuan collected is the blessing from those couples who didn't make it to the end for those who persisted to the end."

"I asked again, even if it's half-and-half, this doesn't seem enough. The company has to subsidize money, right?"

"They gave me an affirmative answer; it's estimated they have to subsidize money."

"I thought to myself, subsidizing money is right. It has to be that you subsidize money for it to work."

Yu Xing smiled calmly: "Of course, I didn't say this out loud; I said it in front of everyone. I just thought, we must let this company subsidize more, and we must find classmates who intend to get married in the future to do this."

He emphasized again: "It's voluntary, all voluntary. We are experimenting, and we also invite classmates to try it."

A small discussion broke out in the multimedia classroom. This activity wasn't complicated: 299 to sign up, 999 roses if married in 3 years, with the goal of researching the probability of eventually getting married.

299, less than half a month's living expenses, and even less if split between the couple.

The living expenses of the couples on site were generally higher, and there were rich guys who didn't care about this bit of money, shouting on the spot that they were willing to place an order to play, which could be considered showing their intention to marry their girlfriends.

However, the trial of individual rich guys didn't bring in more clients.

"It's okay, don't be anxious. They still have their own activities; wait a bit," Yu Xing felt Zhong Zhiling's restlessness. "There are already 3 orders."

The social event continued, with the three associations taking turns on stage, as well as couples from the audience singing on stage, and they also organized on-site confessions. This kind of confession benefited the sponsor, and the orders went from 3 to 4.

"A bit few, a bit few," Zhong Zhiling muttered. This didn't match the enthusiasm he had imagined.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious," Yu Xing kept a smile on his face, responding to the glances from different directions with his eyes.

As the morning activity neared its end, the "Skin Beauty Inspection Association" also recommended cosmetics row by row.

"The registration fee is 299, and you get 999 if you get married. This sounds cost-effective, but what if we get married and you guys have run away?" A couple not far away moved over to ask about the situation.

"Gui Ai Wang is a Xiangjiang company with a registered capital of 10 million. Classmate, this is an activity with the significance of a social science survey, not just a matter of money," Yu Xing responded with a smile.

The young couple discussed it and felt it was quite cost-effective. Just 299 yuan, and if they get married, they get roses worth far more than this price. It's too profitable!

Seeing that the prospective clients hadn't made a final decision, Yu Xing turned his thoughts and asked casually: "Classmate, what is your zodiac sign? Let me see for you if you can eventually get the roses."

"I'm an Aries," the girl said, perking up upon hearing this. "He is a Leo!"

"Oh my, Aries and Leo are a perfect match. Aries gives people happiness, and Leo likes the stage and is a bit self-centered. You two complement each other. This rose, if you don't get it, call us to claim it," Yu Xing smiled. "It's okay if you don't sign up, but I think you two are really a match."

The girl nodded with a smile: "Hehe, right? Then, let's place an order."

The Aries turned to ask for the Leo's opinion, and the Leo had no opinion.

Order +1.

This order seemed to open up sales, and also allowed Yu Xing to find some inspiration for dealing with clients.

"Classmate, what is your Chinese zodiac sign? You are an Ox, she is a Monkey. This zodiac pairing is good. You two must appreciate each other; you usually have a lot of tacit understanding, right?"

The Ox and Monkey nodded in tacit understanding. Order +1.

"Oh my, you are from the third lunar month, she is from the fifth lunar month. According to old sayings, you two will definitely attract wealth after marriage. Yes, yes, oh, he is going to the orthopedics department, that is wealth."

Wealth-attracting group order +1.

"Oh? Zodiac sign not good? Chinese zodiac not compatible? Hey, it's not that this senior is criticizing you. We are all medical students, and we grew up under the red flag. What era is this? You still believe in feudal superstition? As long as you trust each other and work together, you will definitely be happy together."

Anti-feudalism and anti-superstition. Order +1.

Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying were dumbfounded, witnessing their senior brother doing his utmost to communicate with clients in various ways. In a trance, there was even a feeling of being "flamboyant."

However, not all sales pitches were useful.

Yu Xing observed a couple, considering his pitch, but before he could speak, the young couple started arguing among themselves.

"Not buying? Why not buy? You're just waiting to break up with me after graduation! Do you want to get married?"

"Did you forget about that guy surnamed Fang?"

"What's so good about him! Where exactly is he good!"

Yu Xing watched the arguing couple leave and shook his head helplessly at his second-in-command and third-in-command: "Come, you two sit. I'll drink some water; my throat is dry."

He looked at the line that had gone from sparse to not very long, blew on the tea leaves, and took a satisfied sip of water. It was okay.
