After the new student reception, the digital store also became busy.
The number of customers in the store suddenly increased dramatically.
The main group is freshmen.
Not long after they entered school, they learned that there was such a place on campus.
The environment is very stylish, with dozens of computers inside. You can experience it at will without spending a penny. You can just log on to QQ, read the news, and then leave. There are even pretty female clerks who will smile and say welcome to come again next time.
Isn't this an Internet cafe where you can get free stuff
And when you left the Internet cafe, there was no one to say goodbye as enthusiastically as the young lady.
The vast majority of Internet cafes currently do not have air conditioning and are filled with smoke and foul smells, but this "Internet cafe" where you can use it for free has the air conditioning on from morning to night.
Is there such a good thing
Is the boss doing charity
As a result, the digital store suddenly returned to its previous crowded state, with too many new students coming in every day to get something for free.
After all, going to an Internet cafe is troublesome, costs money and is far away. Sometimes it is not worth going to an Internet cafe just to receive a QQ message, read sports news or entertainment gossip.
While these freshmen were grateful that their boss of New Century was a philanthropist, they did not see that an invisible sickle had been swung high.
If nothing unexpected happens, by New Year's Day, a large number of leeks will fall down.
When the next semester starts, a large number of them will fall down again.
Freshmen are the most likely to buy computers for free in digital stores, but the main users of digital devices this semester are still sophomores.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take dormitory 302. Cai Wensheng and Lao Feng each went to a digital store to buy a computer after the military training. At the same time, there were many boys and girls in the class who also bought computers.
The situation of the Finance Class 1 is also a microcosm of the entire School of Finance and even the vast majority of universities in the country.
The new students' parents' concepts have not yet adjusted. Even some open-minded ones will not let their children buy computers as soon as they enter college. Therefore, these leeks are still in a state of being raised, and it is not time to harvest them yet.
But not all freshmen come to digital stores to buy things for free.
The clerk in the electronics store discovered something.
There was a very cute little girl who looked like a freshman. She showed up at the digital store on the night when the new students started school. She placed an order right away without asking about the price or configuration. She simply swiped her card for more than 10,000 yuan and bought a top-of-the-line machine, which really scared people.
I didn't expect that the loli school girl is actually a wealthy woman!
Generally speaking, these people who bought computers and were harvested rarely appear in digital stores.
After all, it is more comfortable to sit in the dormitory and play with your own computer. There is no need to come here to get it for free. Only some people will come here again when they want to upgrade their computers, buy games or soft keyboards, or accessories.
However, this junior girl is different from others. After buying a computer, she still becomes a frequent customer of the digital store.
She neither plays computer games nor does anything else. She just hangs around her handsome store manager all day long. She comes several times a day and sometimes even stays until the digital store closes at night.
Then everyone understood that the drunkard's real intention was not to drink.
Many male shop assistants are very envious.
Even if I work part-time in a digital store, I will be noticed by schoolgirls and pursued by them.
It’s amazing that he’s handsome!
Of course, this little rich woman is, needless to say, Huang Panpan.
Another night, Huang Panpan stayed in the digital store until Su Zelin got off work. Hunzi couldn't sit still anymore: "Panpan, you can't do this. It will interfere with my work. I don't have much business these days!"
"Senior, we don't need that little commission!"
Huang Panpan disagreed.
Su Zelin is obviously rich. He took 20,000 yuan last time and transferred back 40,000 yuan within a few months. This shows that he is not short of money at all.
"This is not about money! I am the store manager of New Century. If the performance is too bad, where will my face be, right?"
Su Zelin explained patiently, and then said earnestly: "Panpan, college life is very colorful. You can do many meaningful things, such as hanging out in the library, going to the English corner, being a volunteer, or participating in cultural festivals, or even having a boyfriend!"
"Senior, are you willing to be my boyfriend?"
Huang Panpan couldn't help but be surprised.
"I didn't say..."
Su Zelin secretly hated himself for being too talkative.
"Is it a meaningful thing..." Huang Panpan pondered for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Then can I work part-time in your digital store? College students participate in social practice in advance and can train themselves. This is very meaningful, right? Senior, didn't you work part-time for this back then?"
This reason was very sufficient, but Su Zelin shook his head without even thinking: "No!"
"Why?"
The junior school girl was puzzled.
“Because the digital stores are already saturated with employees.”
The gangster immediately thought of an excuse.
"I can wait until there's a vacancy!"
"It's not possible even when there are vacancies, because we usually only recruit poor students to work part-time. One of the original purposes of the digital store was to help poor students on campus."
"Then why was the senior allowed to enter?"
"My situation was special because I was very good at speaking. I also found a set of old clothes to pretend to be a poor student during the interview and fooled the manager. He was very angry when he found out. But I was already the store's top salesperson at that time and my business was very good, so the manager let me stay."
"I see..."
Huang Panpan was slightly disappointed.
Su Zelin coughed dryly: "Pan Pan, you are already a college student. You must learn how to transform from a cocoon into a butterfly on the university campus and grow into an independent girl with your own life, instead of boringly hanging around someone all day long!"
The junior high school girl’s heart was racing.
I had just entered college, and it seemed a bit too much for me to pester my seniors like this.
The senior is a free-spirited person who yearns for freedom. He needs space.
If I push too hard, I'll just scare the senior away.
Moreover, the senior is now a celebrity and idol in the School of Finance.
I also have to spend my time and energy on other things, learn more, and work hard to make myself better so that I can be worthy of my seniors.
Otherwise, even if the senior is willing to date me in the future, others will secretly say that the senior has found a vase as his girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Huang Panpan made a decision.
"Okay, Senior, I understand!"
"Yeah, as long as you understand!"
"… "
Ten days after school started, this wave of mobile phone buying came to an end.
Su Zelin also took the time to visit the New Century Zhejiang University branch.
Manager's office.
Su Zelin, Kang Baohong, Yang Fen and other key members were drinking tea.
"Boss, you didn't come a few days ago, so you didn't see how busy our Zhejiang University branch was. The flow of people was simply terrifying, and the store was almost packed with people!"
Kang Baohong was in high spirits.
In fact, when the Zhejiang University branch first opened last semester, it was very popular and had the potential to become an Internet celebrity store. Then, when the new students started school, its popularity exploded.
Moreover, the market size of Zhejiang University campus is much larger than that of the School of Finance, so the number of computers installed is quite considerable, and the revenue is naturally higher than that of the School of Finance branch.
After a rough estimate, I found that after deducting costs, I earned hundreds of thousands of dollars during this school season.
At this point, the scoundrel can completely call himself a millionaire.
Not to mention anything else, the Zhejiang University branch is so successful that if there is a desire to transfer it, reselling it for a million will definitely not be a problem.
Of course, Su Zelin would never sell this hen that lays golden eggs.
"very good!"
Su Zelin nodded lightly.
Kang Baohong already understood his personality.
Even when the boss is very satisfied with his work, at most he will just say "very good", and there will be no ecstatic expression or tone.
"Boss Su, I really don't regret accepting the cooperation opportunity you gave me earlier!"
Brother Yang said half jokingly and half regretfully.
As early as when the Caiyuan store opened, Su Zelin had already extended an olive branch to him.
However, he did not make up his mind until the other party was planning to open a branch at Zhejiang University.
Although he was Su Zelin's partner, he did not make any profit from the two New Century branches.
After all, all the money was invested by others, and you didn’t do anything when the store was established, so it’s impossible for you to just sit back and reap the fruits of their labor.
However, Brother Yang knew that he would soon have his chance.
With Su Zelin's ambition, he will not stop just because he opens two branches.
On the contrary, with two hens laying eggs to provide funds, the speed of opening branches will only snowball faster.
As soon as the next branch is planned, Brother Yang will be able to enter the market.
Moreover, he will transfer the store in the computer city at that time.
Yang Fen is also a man of great courage.
Even though the computer market is still doing well now, his store can still make a lot of money.
However, Brother Yang knew very well that the ceiling of his store in the computer mall was too low and was not worth mentioning compared with New Century.
Any branch of New Century will beat yours in terms of scale and profit, and the company will continue to expand rapidly, opening more and more stores.
When someone extends an olive branch to you and asks you to be a partner, it is not just to ask you to invest some money. The most important thing is that they value your management ability.
Since we have chosen to cooperate, we must spend more energy on the new century. The old store will lag behind and distract our time and energy.
In addition, Brother Xiao Yang's move was also a desperate move to express his determination to Su Zelin: I don't care about anything anymore, I will just hang out with you from now on!
Brother Xiao Yang's gang will also join New Century when the next branch opens.
These people have followed Yang Fen for a long time and are quite loyal. Moreover, the conditions promised by New Century are no lower than before, and may even be better.
It was Su Zelin who took the initiative to propose the arrangement with the old friend.
He is always eager to recruit talented people.
Moreover, Brother Yang has shown his determination by burning his boats, and he cannot let others abandon his old subordinates.
Originally, Brother Yang didn't know how to talk to Su Zelin. After all, doing so would be suspected of planting a confidant. He didn't expect Su Zelin to be so broad-minded, which really made Yang Fen admire him.
If it were me, I might hesitate about this matter, let alone take the initiative to bring it up.
Although the next branch has not opened yet, Yang Fen has not been idle and has brought good news.
"Regarding the after-sales business of New Century, I have contacted several parts manufacturers with whom I have cooperated before, and two of them have agreed to open after-sales agencies in Zhejiang University and the School of Finance!"
Su Zelin proposed the after-sales agency business very early, but the potential in this area has never been realized.
One reason was that I was too busy. After opening the store at the University of Finance and Economics, I opened the store at Zhejiang University and had no time to negotiate.
Second, there are only two stores, and the scale is limited, so others may not give us face.
Third, Kang Baohong lacks connections and abilities.
He had only been the general manager of New Century for a short time. Even though New Century had risen rapidly, his connections and reputation in the digital circle were still very limited.
Moreover, although Kang Baohong is motivated and has no problem managing a store, he is limited by his personal education level and social experience and is not qualified to discuss business with people at a higher level.
Even if you hold the title of General Manager of New Century, high-level and discerning people will know that you are a ruffian when they talk to you. They will look down on you to some extent and may even be unwilling to talk to you.
Yang Fen is different. Brother Yang graduated from a reputable university. Although he is not from a famous school, at least he has a decent degree. He has been the boss of a computer store for so many years and is used to dealing with accessory agents. He has connections and fame in the circle. He is also very good at dealing with people and has very good relationships with many agents.
So he came forward and met with parts suppliers in the capacity of New World's CEO, explaining the various conveniences and benefits of setting up sales and after-sales outlets on university campuses. He also painted a big picture, saying that New Century will expand rapidly and become larger and larger in size in the future. Such cooperation is a win-win situation. Some parts suppliers were impressed and were willing to cooperate with New Century.
Although the other companies have not agreed yet, as long as New Century opens two more branches, there will be hope of reaching an agreement.
"In addition, these two parts suppliers also hope that New World can help promote their products and put up billboards in our store. Of course, there will be advertising fees. If the shipment volume is considerable enough, we can give you the most favorable purchase price in the future!"
"Very good, very good!"
Su Zelin said "very good" twice this time, and it can be seen that he was very happy about the gift from Brother Yang.
New Century only has two branches, and it is almost a miracle that Brother Yang could make such a big promise and convince the parts dealer to authorize him to be the after-sales agent.
Moreover, he also raised advertising fees. Even though it wouldn't be much, every little bit counts!
If the purchase price is further lowered, profits will naturally increase.
We had just become partners, and even before the third branch opened, so this gift was quite generous.
This is why Su Zelin had to give up part of his profits and win over Yang Fen.
With Brother Yang around, I save myself a lot of trouble!
If I hadn't found this partner, I would have to find the parts suppliers myself to discuss the agency and after-sales matters, and it would be difficult for Kang Baohong to deal with them.
However, even if you do it yourself, it will still be quite difficult.
After all, you are just a college student. Others don’t know you, let alone understand you.
You also have to gain other people's trust, which is very troublesome.
But for Yang Fen, this problem does not exist.
At the same time, New Century also needs an obvious CEO, otherwise it would be very inconvenient. This is why Su Zelin asked Yang Fen to be his partner.
"Boss Yang is really amazing!"
Kang Baohong also liked it, but Brother Yang keenly noticed that his expression was a little unnatural, but he just smiled and said nothing.
The joining of his old friend obviously made Kang Baohong feel that his position was threatened.
He only recognizes Su Zelin now, which can be heard from the address.
The closeness between "Mr. Su" and "the boss" is quite obvious.
But it is normal that his subordinates will not be able to accept Su Zelin as the new boss all of a sudden in the future. After all, they have followed him for too long.
But Yang Fen was not worried, he knew Su Zelin could solve this problem.
After chatting for a while, Brother Yang left with an excuse.
Su Zelin didn't leave because there were some things he needed to discuss with Kang Baohong in private.
"Baohong, it seems that we have a new CEO, Yang, in New Century. You are a little uncomfortable with this!"
The gangster said half-jokingly.
"Boss, I don't have any."
Kang Baohong quickly denied it.
The boss wants to find a partner, and as the general manager in charge of the store management, I certainly have no right to interfere or have any opinions.
Yet he did feel somewhat at a loss as to what to do.
Originally I was working hard with my boss, but suddenly a new boss named Yang appeared, and he brought a bunch of new subordinates with him.
The key point is that Mr. Yang is indeed very capable. He secured new business for New Century as soon as he arrived. This makes Kang Baohong somewhat worried that he will lose his power.
"Baohong, you don't have to deny it. I understand how you feel."
"But, Baohong, you have to change your mind."
"When New Century was founded, I told you that teamwork is very important!"
"We need not only a team of ordinary employees, but also a team of senior backbones!"
Su Zelin asked at this point: "For New Century to continue to develop, do you think it will be enough for me as the boss and you as the general manager?"
"not enough!"
Kang Baohong shook his head.
He is already busy enough with the two branches at the Institute of Finance and Zhejiang University alone, and the boss at the Institute of Finance has to help manage it personally.
What if we open a third store, or a fourth one
"That's right. If New Century wants to grow bigger and stronger, a strong backbone team is essential. Not only the quality of the talents, but also the quantity must keep up!"
Su Zelin said earnestly: "You must understand that these new talents will become our most reliable partners and provide strong help for the future conquest of cities and territories in the new century!"
"Everyone who joins will make our core team stronger!"
"As the general manager of New Century, you must be broad-minded and tolerant, and welcome them with open arms instead of rejecting them. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Boss, I understand!"
Kang Baohong nodded.
In terms of broad-mindedness, I really need to learn more from my boss.
Unless you don't want the new century to get better and better, the number of members in the core team will definitely continue to increase.
He could understand this principle, but it just took some time for him to adjust his mindset.
Su Zelin: "Work hard, as long as I am still in New Century, you will always be the general manager!"
After reminding Kang Baohong, Su Zelin comforted him again.
Kang Baohong was greatly encouraged, these words were like a reassurance to him.
He didn't think that Su Zelin, the founder of New Century, would leave, so his position as general manager would remain stable.
"Yes, boss!"
