Chapter 58: 057 Ambition (10,000 words seeking monthly tickets)

~9 min read 1,677 words

The shift change between Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying was fast.

On the 19th, the two left Shanghai one after the other, heading north and south respectively, to take over the company's order optimization tasks.

As for the four market heads who were swapped from Jingcheng and Yangcheng, two went to Jin Ling and two went to Lin'an. They were not transferred to the headquarters, which was a case of "out of sight, out of mind."

It was unknown if it was because of a guilty conscience or what, but although these four people had slight resistance to the shift change, they all quickly executed the order.

Seeing Yu Xing returned to Jin Ling on the 22nd to complete the school's suspension procedures.

Unlike before, the teacher Liu Jingrong's attitude this time was much gentler.

"General Manager Yu, I heard that your company is doing quite well now," Liu Jingrong addressed his student this way. "You even competed with NetEase once and won. Sigh, perhaps you are really more suited for business."

"Teacher, if you don't call me by my name, I really feel uncomfortable all over," Seeing Yu Xing laughed. "That was pure luck. Fortunately, NetEase still pays attention to reputation, so our business continued. If NetEase had killed us, I would be re-entering the laboratory today."

Liu Jingrong knew his eldest disciple was being polite. He could only shake his head and finally instructed, "You are thinner than last time, and also more mature. Since you have really achieved results, then... continue doing it, make a bigger appearance, and also lead your junior disciple well."

Seeing Yu Xing couldn't help but say, "Uh, Teacher, Zhong Zhiling hasn't considered whether to suspend school yet."

Liu Jingrong said calmly, "I have already considered it for him."

Seeing Yu Xing: "Um..."

It seems he had no choice but to help his junior disciple decide; otherwise, the scene might not be very decent.

After Yu Xing finished dealing with the school matters, he didn't stay in Jin Ling much and returned to Shanghai.

However, on the way back by car, a worry that had been intentionally or unintentionally ignored previously floated into his mind. It wasn't far from September 15th. Once a global financial crisis broke out, he didn't know if Century Jiayuan, Zhen'ai Net, and the others would also have problems with capital.

It just so happened that the Internet Conference was after the financial crisis. If it could be earlier, it would be even better.

Yu Xing arrived in Shanghai, and the worry returned to the bottom of his heart. There is no perfect thing in the world; now he could only try his best to do his best.

The last time in August passed very quickly. And before entering September, the deserted campus seemed to suddenly come alive, also injecting some new support into Gui'ai Net's business quite obviously.

Gui'ai Net made internal adjustments for the school opening season. Besides increasing part-time opportunities, it also additionally subsidized the order commission.

Compared to the original three-tier commission, it was now directly changed to two tiers of 190 and 200. The team bonus remained unchanged. In addition, the company gave a "brother subsidy" of 5 yuan per order.

As the name implies, it was kept for brothers and friends to buy water to drink.

The name was slightly flashy, but the internal employees' response was quite good.

The college students hadn't fully returned to school yet, but Gui'ai Net was already rubbing its hands, preparing to conquer everyone's love.

Seeing Yu Xing held two meetings and keenly discovered that many employees were excited about the restart of campus business after experiencing the low point in August.

Even, there was an employee who privately expressed his thoughts.

"General Manager Yu, if we don't do well after school starts in September, I plan to resign. It's not just a salary issue; not being able to open an order is too demoralizing!"

Seeing Yu Xing could only give encouragement, "As soon as school starts, it will be our home field. Everyone work hard in September; you work hard, and I will work hard too."

We really have to work hard to sell the company in September; let's all work hard together.

Similar to Gui'ai Net's hardworking mood, the arrival of the school opening season also made matchmaking companies like Century Jiayuan and Zhen'ai Net rub their hands, intending to verify their own assessment and analysis of the new business at the first opportunity.

Like Zhen'ai Net Vice Wei Zong Jialan, she used half a month in August to confirm the recognition of "Love Contract" by their own existing clients.

520/2 years/rose or travel package.

Suitable; such a contract agreement is very suitable!

The only problem lies in the fact that Zhen'ai Net's clients are relatively older and also quite urgent about marriage. The general feedback obtained after the experiment is—can the two-year period be shortened.

Clients wish they could go on a blind date in the first week, get to know each other in the second week, get engaged in the third week, and get married in the fourth week.

Two years...

Too long!

Wei Jialan considered this matter from the client's standpoint and found that it was indeed a very realistic problem.

Zhen'ai Net is to let clients quickly find a partner, while Love Contract hopes clients get married as late as possible. This essential conflict... greatly limited the conversion of potential clients.

Can't it be vigorously expanded on existing clients?

Either continue to pioneer users in society, or follow Gui'ai Net's route into the campus?

How exactly did Gui'ai Net go from campus to society?

Wei Jialan had been quietly paying attention to Seeing Yu Xing's movements, especially after discovering that he shared work content on the campus network, she went to look at it every day.

—Stalling today, met a big brother, he said looking at me is worth trusting, too funny!

—Oh my, the Shanghai market performed poorly today, fortunately, there was a lot of harvest in Lin'an today.

—Good fellow, taking turns, Lin'an's performance is not good, fortunately, Jingcheng has good results again.

Wei Jialan paid special attention to Seeing Yu Xing's description of social client pioneering, finding that Gui'ai Net's pioneering wasn't particularly ideal either, but it looked like it had preliminary results.

Or, is it really the communication power brought by the college student team?

Wei Jialan recalled the information obtained when talking to Seeing Yu Xing and felt that clients treat mature workplace people and green college students differently.

Green, green...

Wei Jialan didn't know if this greenness seemed more sincere, but she knew her own business. It is an indisputable fact that front-line sales and matchmakers of internet matchmaking companies often use routines and occasionally have to tell small lies.

On September 1st, Zhen'ai Net still decided to try following Gui'ai Net's route, sending troops to college campuses in multiple cities.

Wei Jialan, who went deep into the front line, specifically ran to Yangcheng, intending to see the competitor's situation.

However, she didn't see Gui'ai Net's booth at all in the university in Yangcheng; the welcome banner for freshmen was hung in a very conspicuous position.

Wei Jialan demanded that employees figure out the situation; she didn't believe Gui'ai Net would give up the opportunity to pioneer business.

That night, she found out what happened.

"Wei Zong, we can't get into the student dormitory. Many of Gui'ai Net's are college students; they have student IDs, alumni, and friends. Now they have already broken into pieces and entered the dormitory to promote."

Universities have stricter management of dormitories during the school opening season. Zhen'ai Net's employees are obviously inconsistent with college students, and it is a purely commercial act, making it hard to maintain the same frequency as Gui'ai Net.

Wei Jialan hung up the phone and frowned deeply. Does the company have to recruit college students too?

If you recruit too few college students, it won't work; if you recruit too many, the employee cost of this single business will rapidly increase...

Wei Jialan thought left and right, feeling that the company's actions targeting the campus were all quite chicken ribs.

On September 2nd, the Zhen'ai Net vice president dialed the Gui'ai Net founder's phone again.

Wei Jialan respected Seeing Yu Xing's choice this time and proposed a new cooperation method quite confidently: "General Manager Yu, since you have confidence in the company's future, we are also quite optimistic about your business. How about this, Zhen'ai Net can invest and buy shares; what do you think?"

Invest and buy shares?

No! Can't do this!

If you want to sell, sell it all!

Seeing Yu Xing refused flatly: "Our company is developing very well, and we don't lack capital. Why should we take your money?"

Wei Jialan knew that the person opposite was a college student starting a business for the first time, and said patiently: "General Manager Yu, after taking the money, you can enter more cities and develop larger-scale business. The company's valuation can also increase quickly. By then, although your shares are fewer, the value is still increasing."

College students probably don't understand the significance of developing with the help of capital; this is also normal.

Seeing Yu Xing still refused without hesitation: "No, impossible. We will not sell the company, nor will we sell shares. Wei Zong, I think we already chatted very clearly last time. Also, tell Century Jiayuan and Baihe Net too; don't ask me again. I have the same attitude for all of them."

Wei Jialan frowned. Are the friendly companies contacting him too?

The phone hung up from the other end.

Wei Jialan put down her phone, and for a moment, she really couldn't find a crisp and neat solution. If the company does it itself, it's easy to be chicken ribs; if it invests and buys shares, he is unwilling; if it buys the company, he refuses...

I have to say, this person surnamed Yu is truly full of ambition! ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
