The next afternoon.
School of Finance campus, faculty and staff dormitory.
Su Zelin and Kang Baohong were drinking tea at Dai Chuangxing's house.
This is the first time I have met the vice president and his wife since returning to school.
Kang Yulian had invited them over for dinner twice before, but right after the start of the school year, the digital store was hit by a rush for computer accessories, and both of them were so busy that they really couldn't spare the time, so they had to wait until the rush for computer accessories died down and the store's sales returned to normal before they had time to come over.
The one who makes Kung Fu tea is Kang Baohong.
Generally speaking, when you go to someone's house to drink tea, it is usually the host who does it.
One is to entertain guests, the other is to show your status.
However, the vice president has a high status, and Su Zelin and Kang Baohong are both juniors, so it is not polite to ask others to make tea. Besides, they have been in cooperation for so long that they are not unfamiliar with each other, so Kang Baohong usually makes tea.
After all, Su Zelin is his boss, and there is no reason for him to ask his boss to make tea for him.
This small detail can actually reveal the level of interpersonal relationships.
What made Kang Yulian happy was that her nephew seemed to have no grudge against her this time when he came home.
Perhaps because the share was too low, Kang Baohong was quite resentful towards her and he almost didn't even come to the New Year's Eve dinner during the winter vacation.
Later, Dai Chuangxing called him personally, and Kang Baohong came over for the sake of his lover, but it was obvious that he was very reluctant.
But now it’s different. My nephew is smiling, not at all like the stern face he had during the winter vacation.
Maybe Baohong has figured it out.
People cannot be greedy!
If it weren’t for me, his aunt, would he have known Xiao Su
If I can become the general manager of a digital store, can I get 4,000 to 5,000 yuan in salary plus dividends in the first month
When he was a network administrator, he might have only earned one-tenth of it a month!
So Kang Yulian felt at ease.
In the conflict with herself, the vice president's wife firmly believed that she was not wrong, and it was mainly because Kang Baohong was not satisfied.
However, she didn't know that Su Zelin had promised Kang Baohong additional dividends, and that her nephew was leaning even more towards his boss.
Of course Kang Baohong wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Kang Yulian about this.
If my aunt knew that I could still get a dividend, she might not give me any at all, so I just had to be happy secretly.
Dai Chuangxing did see some clues, but he didn't say anything.
First, there was no evidence. Second, Vice President Dai actually felt that it was too much for his wife to give Kang Baohong just a small amount. After all, he was the one who worked hard for the digital store, so it would be reasonable for him to get more from the boss.
Su Zelin was thinking while drinking tea.
It is the off-season for digital stores now, so there is no need to stock so much. The money earned can be invested in B shares, which will allow them to survive for more than a month. By then, my dad will have closed in and I will get the commission, so I will have about 500,000 yuan in cash on hand and can continue to expand.
Before that, I have to prepare for the future and look for the next target to see where is the most suitable place to open a branch. It would be best if the branch is opened before the next semester so that I will not miss the first wave of computer distribution when school starts!
Of course, if you want to open a store in other universities, you still need resources.
The interests on every university campus have been divided up by the leaders, and everyone has his or her own territory. It would be difficult for an outsider to get in.
Dai Chuangxing is the bridge to climb into this network of relationships.
Vice President Dai is at this level and knows many powerful leaders from other schools.
Through him, I can tap into this deeper level of connections.
Thinking of this, Su Zelin spoke up: "Vice President Dai, New Century Digital Store is developing well. My cousin is very satisfied with its performance and plans to increase investment!"
Kang Baohong, who was making tea, instantly became energetic.
Su Zelin talked to him about this study plan the night he returned to school.
So Kang Baohong knew that the young boss was definitely going to make a big move.
I just didn't expect his big move to come so quickly.
Dai Chuangxing was a little speechless, thinking to himself, he is still your cousin, but now everyone knows that you are the rich relative!
This boy is more stable than me. He refuses to admit that he owns the digital store.
Kang Yulian, who was still cooking, also ran out of the kitchen with a spatula.
The vice president's wife had sharp ears and when she heard Su Zelin's words, she took those words very seriously.
Does increasing investment mean that you can get more money
"Xiao Su, your uncle is really insightful. Now the situation is very good, we should strike while the iron is hot!"
Kang Yulian didn't care about that and just gave her support first.
Dai Chuangxing frowned. He was not as brainless and profit-driven as his lover. There were many things he had to consider.
"The Institute of Finance only has one digital store, New Century, which is already big enough to take up the entire computer market. Is there a need to increase investment?"
The cake is only so big. It’s useless to expand the scale. You can’t make the cake bigger by making your mouth bigger, right
"The computer market potential of the School of Finance has almost been fully tapped, but the market for other schools is still blank!"
Su Zelin smiled slightly.
The boss is planning to open a branch!
Kang Baohong was so excited that he forgot to make tea.
“You’re going to open the same digital store in other universities?”
Dai Chuangxing was a little surprised.
It seems that this boy has greater ambition than I thought.
Su Zelin said calmly, "Since we have developed this model of New Century and it has been proven to be feasible in the School of Finance, why not copy it and expand it to other universities? My biggest problem now is to find a suitable school with people who can speak accurately. I wonder if Vice President Dai has any good recommendations?"
After a pause, he added: "Of course, Bao Hong will have to manage one more store, and his commission will be increased as appropriate."
The hidden meaning is that as long as Dai Chuangxing can establish this connection, he will also have a share of the dividends from the new store.
But it is definitely not as much as what the School of Finance got. After all, the School of Finance is Vice President Dai's territory and can provide resource support. The rest has to rely on others and have to give out another part.
In fact, these words were said to Kang Yulian.
Originally, the vice-president's wife was a little disappointed when she heard that the store was opened in another school, but she became excited all of a sudden after hearing this, and thought that Xiao Su was really sensible.
"Haha, it's right for you to find Uncle Dai for this matter. Coincidentally, the president of Zhejiang University, Zhou Fuliang, is your uncle Dai's college classmate. They have a very good relationship. Besides, there are many people in Zhejiang University. The money you can make by opening a branch there will definitely be more considerable than that from the Finance Institute!"
Kang Yulian found a suitable candidate immediately.
Su Zelin was slightly stunned.
No way, Dai Chuangxing has this kind of relationship with the president of Zhejiang University
"We are classmates, yes. But Lao Zhou and I usually just hang out for tea. We don't usually talk about this kind of thing."
Dai Chuangxing was a little embarrassed.
Kang Baohong became anxious when he heard this.
It would be difficult to open this branch if my uncle is unwilling to help.
What's more, Zhejiang University has many good resources, and the market is much bigger than that of the University of Finance and Economics. If this thing fails, he will not be able to sleep well for half a month!
Su Zelin was very calm.
This will definitely succeed because Vice President Dai has Kang Yulian by his side.
"You are such a stubborn old man!"
As expected, the vice president’s wife started to criticize directly.
She has tasted the sweetness now, and if her lover does this, it is not only pouring cold water on her head, but also on the head of the God of Wealth.
"What's wrong with asking Lao Zhou for help? It's not a big deal!"
"Besides, Xiao Su didn't ask Lao Zhou for help in vain. Lao Zhou might even be happy to help. You just think too much!"
Kang Yulian started scolding and even silenced Vice President Dai.
"Aunt is right, uncle. If New Century can make it to Zhejiang University, it can also help the poor students there. The poor students in the store should not be too satisfied with this part-time job. It is much more comfortable than working hard in the snack street outside!"
"In addition, we at New Century also rent computers to poor graduates at low prices. No deposit is required, just provide ID and student ID, which solves their graduation project problems. Isn't this doing a good deed and making everyone happy?"
Kang Baohong and Kang Yulian sang the same tune. Although they originally had some minor conflicts, they now formed a united front.
The aunt and nephew took turns bombarding Dai Chuangxing from the left and right, actively doing ideological work on Dai Chuangxing.
Vice President Dai was soon shaken.
He loves his wife mainly for money, while Kang Baohong loves her to get ahead. They both have selfish motives, but what they say does make some sense.
When Su Zelin was making the plan for the digital store, he included the project for poor students as a key focus in order to find a legitimate reason to enter other universities.
Ask Lao Zhou for help. As long as you ask, there will be no problem.
It’s just that he had never asked this classmate for help, and Lao Zhou always thought he was incorruptible and was a little too embarrassed to do so.
"Aunt, it's okay. It would be great if this could be accomplished. If not, I won't force it. Anyway, my uncle has other investment projects, but he thinks New Century is the first choice!"
Su Zelin took the initiative to act as a peacemaker, but there was something else he meant.
Kang Yulian became anxious when she heard this.
If I invest this money in opening a branch of New Century, I will make a profit. But if I change it to other projects, it may not have anything to do with me.
That's definitely not possible.
"Xiao Su, don't be in a hurry!"
Afraid that Su Zelin would turn around and do something else, Kang Yulian directly guaranteed: "If Auntie says it's okay, then it must be okay!"
Su Zelin smiled but said nothing.
The vice president's wife is greedy for money and even a little snobbish, which is human trait.
However, everything has two sides. If you use it well, this will become your breakthrough point.
He knew that Kang Yulian would definitely convince Dai Chuangxing, and it wouldn't take too long.
…
After having dinner at the vice president's wife's house and sitting for a while, Su Zelin and Kang Baohong said goodbye.
I plan to go back to the digital store in the evening.
Now that the store is on track, there is actually no need for me to look after it in person, and Kang Baohong is also very capable. But I don’t know what to do if I don’t go to the store. When I go back to the dormitory, I either surf the Internet or hoe the fields, which seems to be very boring.
While chatting casually with Kang Baohong, the phone number Nuojiya 8210 rang. Su Zelin took out his phone from his pocket and was happy. It was the number of a girls' dormitory in his class, and the caller should be the girl he hoped to meet soon.
Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, Liu Wanyin's voice like a mountain stream came from the microphone: "Squad leader, it's me!"
"Wanyin, are you back to school?"
Su Zelin walked aside with his cell phone.
"Yeah, I'm back. I just arrived!"
"Haha, that's good. Is your dad's leg healed?"
"I am almost well and can work in the fields, so he asked me to return to school as soon as possible and not to delay my studies."
Liu Wanyin paused and asked weakly, "By the way, squad leader, can I go to the store to work tonight?"
"Of course, we welcome our store beauty back anytime!" Su Zelin said with a smile, "But you must be very tired after sitting on the train all day. You should have a good rest tonight and get enough rest!"
"Okay then. By the way, squad leader, can I see you?"
"See me? Is there anything else you want?"
"Well, I have something I want to give you."
"Oh, sure. I'm on my way to the digital store right now. It's not far from the girls' dormitory, so I can just stop by."
Su Zelin thought it was just a local specialty and didn't pay much attention to it.
…
He let Kang Baohong go to the store first, and he turned around and walked to the other side.
After a while, we arrived at the girls' dormitory.
Liu Wanyin was waiting at the door.
She was still wearing an old set of clothes that had been washed so much that they looked bleached. Her body was delicate and thin, with slender shoulders and a fragile figure, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Every time he saw this girl, Su Zelin would always think of an ancient poem: "The curtains are rolled up by the west wind, and the person is thinner than the yellow flower."
But beneath this thin body, there is a strong heart.
If it were someone else, faced with such a situation, they would have collapsed long ago, but she is still fighting tenaciously against fate.
Su Zelin still admires the poor female students very much.
She looked a little thinner than the last time they met in Shangqiu. It must be because she was too tired during this period. However, her father recovered and she was able to return to school. Liu Wanyin was in a good mood and in good spirits.
Seeing Su Zelin, the girl's slightly frowned brows relaxed: "Class monitor, thank you and A Xi for what happened last time."
"Hey, Wanyin, why are you talking about this!" Su Zelin said with a smile, "We are all brothers and sisters in the big family of Finance Management Class 1, and as the class monitor and the eldest brother, I naturally have to take care of every little brother and sister under me!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Wanyin took out a small item from her pocket and handed it over with both hands: "Squad Leader, this is for you."
Su Zelin took it curiously and found that it was a small wooden handicraft with many exquisite patterns and designs carved on it.
"This is a talisman made by my grandma. She made two and asked me to give them to you and Axi. She also said that you are both good people and good people will be rewarded. I hope you can accept them."
Liu Wanyin explained.
"Oh, you have to thank your grandma. I didn't expect she has such good cooking skills!"
"Yes, my grandmother used to make little amulets like this and sell them at the market. Later, she got old and her eyesight was not good, so she rarely made them anymore!"
"Haha, I accept it, Wanyin, when you go home for the holidays, remember to thank your grandma for me!"
"Yes, I will, monitor. See you tomorrow!"
People were coming in and out of the girls' dormitory from time to time. Liu Wanyin felt a little embarrassed. After handing the gift to Su Zelin, she turned around and trotted into the dormitory gate.
Su Zelin held the small amulet and suddenly felt happy for no reason.
When you help others, you will also become happy.
This is what the saying “When you give someone a rose, the fragrance lingers on your hand” means.
On the way back to the dormitory, Su Zelin was surprised to find that the flowers and grass on the roadside had quietly sprouted new buds.
Before we knew it, the harsh winter has passed and the breath of spring is getting stronger and stronger.
