"What do they mean by doing this?"
Wei Hongling frowned. She didn't know much about business matters or new things like computers.
Zhang Baisheng remained calm and analyzed calmly: "This is a warning from the new century. You can imitate others, but these sentences belong to them. No one else can use them indiscriminately."
"Warning us, what is he!"
Wei Hongling sneered with disdain: "If Yuanhang really wants to use it, let him sue!"
"No one needs to sue you!"
Zhang Baisheng sighed.
"The reason why those gifts have good advertising effects is that the sentences on them are novel and interesting, or inspiring, or contain philosophical and thought-provoking ideas, which cater to the tastes of college students!"
"However, they were exposed on the Polytechnic University BBS in advance, and the effect was naturally greatly reduced after being hyped up like this."
"More importantly, the college students there will know that those sentences come from another digital store. If we give out the gifts, our own store may be labeled as a plagiarist, which will have a significant impact on our image!"
After hearing this, Wei Hongling finally understood a little. She said angrily, "This store is too abominable. They are deliberately trying to prevent our Yuanhang store from opening smoothly!"
"Dad, what should we do now?"
Zhang Yuanhang was at a loss.
He never expected that New Century would suddenly cause trouble at this critical moment. He was suddenly at a loss and couldn't think of a good solution, so he had to ask his father for help.
This is also the typical mentality of many young people who have just started a business, have little experience, and are overambitious. Before encountering problems, they have an attitude of "kill anyone who stands in their way", but they instantly become wilted when they encounter some tricky troubles.
Zhang Baisheng walked back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back for a few circles until only the butt of another cigarette was left. Then he stopped: "Now, I can think of two solutions!"
Zhang Yuanhang was instantly cheered up.
I knew that Dad would have a way!
"First, give up your batch of gifts and exchange them for something else. This is the wisest choice!"
Zhang Baisheng is also a decisive person.
Although it sounds like a huge loss, it is not to the extent of cutting off one's arm to survive, and the image will not be damaged. The purpose of the other party's warning has been achieved, and they will not go further.
"impossible!"
Zhang Yuanhang didn't even think about it.
"That's tens of thousands of mouse pads. It cost me a lot of money. Besides, the store hasn't even opened yet, so it's unlucky to lose money first! Besides, I can't stand this humiliation!"
He was young and energetic, and had been spoiled by his family's power. He could not tolerate any injustice. He could not accept Zhang Baisheng's suggestion no matter what.
"Yes, others have bullied Yuanhang. Why should my son swallow his anger? Our Zhang family has some reputation in Lin'an. When have we ever been insulted like this?"
Wei Hongling, who was eager to protect her child, also got angry.
Anyway, she doesn't care about that. No matter who offends her son, it is that person's fault.
Zhang Baisheng also knew that his wife and son would not listen to the first suggestion, so he could only helplessly say: "The second way is to use the connections at the University of Science and Technology to delete all these posts on the forum as quickly as possible and try to minimize the impact!"
Their digital store was able to grow to such a large scale in the University of Science and Technology, and it was also built on a piece of land. Needless to say, there are people who support them on campus.
"Oh, that's right, Dad, this is a good idea, why didn't I think of it!"
Zhang Yuanhang's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands vigorously.
"These posts were posted not long ago, so only a limited number of people have read them. I will contact Vice President Luo right away and ask him to ask the moderator of the Polytechnic University BBS to delete the posts immediately!"
Without further ado, he immediately picked up his phone and started dialing.
Not long after, a middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Yuanhang?"
"It's me, Vice President Luo. I have something to trouble you with."
The situation was urgent, so Zhang Yuanhang didn't bother to be polite with the other party and went straight to the point: "It's like this, a large number of posts suddenly appeared on the Polytechnic University BBS, which are related to the marketing activities planned for the opening of our New World. If nothing unexpected happens, these posts must have been sent by our competitor, the New Century Digital Experience Center, to damage the image of my store. So, Vice President Luo, can you ask the moderator of the Polytechnic University BBS to delete them all? It would be best if all these IDs were blocked!"
"There's such a thing. I'll go check it out and call you back later!"
The person on the other end hung up the phone hastily.
"How is Vice President Luo doing? Did he agree?"
Wei Hongling asked.
"He said he would go check out the situation first and give me a reply later."
Zhang Yuanhang was feeling restless, like an ant on a hot pan. The few minutes seemed to last so long. He waited until his cell phone rang and answered it immediately.
"Yuanhang, I read those posts, but the situation is a little different from what you said..."
The poster is very smart. The main post is a normal post, such as the title "Must read for college students, here are the most inspiring and beautiful sentences!"
Then someone on a certain floor below asked: "Wow, these sentences are so touching, can I know their source?"
Someone else replied, "I know, I know. It was picked up from the Zhejiang University BBS. I heard it was printed on a small fan given away when a computer store called New Century Digital Experience Center opened. There were at least hundreds of them. It was a big hit on the Zhejiang University BBS!"
It would be far-fetched to classify such posts as malicious advertising posts and delete them. Moreover, the main post does not contain any advertising content at all. Even if you delete it, you can only delete the individual replies below.
Besides, no one else attacked the New World, and no one even mentioned the name.
No matter how powerful Vice President Luo is, he can't delete posts mindlessly. He has to have a legitimate reason.
At the beginning of the new century, campus BBS still had a great influence. It was a gathering place for university netizens. Many college students with computers would visit the forum once or twice almost every day. If they deleted posts at random, others would have opinions.
Moreover, these posts are specifically posted in the afternoon after school when the number of people online on the campus BBS is the largest. Now they are almost dominating the forum. Deleting posts on a large scale without reason is likely to cause public outrage.
In addition, another vice dean is in charge of the campus BBS.
It would be fine for other vice presidents to ask the moderator to delete a few unimportant posts, but to do so for so many hot topic posts would be a violation of the rules.
Vice President Luo expressed his meaning tactfully. In short, this matter is not so easy to handle.
Zhang Yuanhang was dumbfounded.
Damn, this is too cunning. There are so many routines and details in posting a soft article.
Master Zhang suddenly found himself so immature in front of these old hands.
The eyes looking for help turned to Zhang Baisheng again. He felt that only his father could handle it.
The cell phone was on speakerphone, and Zhang Baisheng also heard it. He took a deep puff of his cigarette, his mind became active, and he soon had an inspiration.
He took the three stars and said, "Vice President Luo, how about this? I'll have Yuanhang post more messages on the Polytechnic University BBS to advertise New Century. Then you can use the excuse of malicious advertising to delete all related posts on the forum, including those of other people!"
This is called reverse thinking. There are no advertisements in your main post, so I have no idea where to start, right
Then I will take the initiative to help you create more advertising posts, and then you will have a legitimate reason to delete the posts.
"Yes, yes, yes, this is possible. Ask Yuanhang to handle this matter as soon as possible, and I will ask the moderator to delete the post!"
With a legitimate reason, Vice President Luo will not be in a difficult position this time.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to post it right away!"
Zhang Yuanhang was excited.
You can even think of this, you are worthy of being a dad!
If he hadn't been there as a think tank, New Century's conspiracy would have succeeded.
…
Half an hour later.
"Boss, all the posts we asked people to post on the Polytechnic University BBS have been deleted. Just over ten minutes ago, a batch of posts advertising New Century suddenly appeared on the forum. They were not posted by us. Then the forum issued an announcement saying that someone was maliciously flooding the Polytechnic University BBS with posts to hype things up, and our posts were deleted as well!"
Kang Baohong said this on the phone.
“I saw it!”
Su Zelin said calmly that he had also been following the forum over there.
The posts on the BBS of the University of Science and Technology are very easy to delete because it is someone else's territory.
And it’s okay to use a contrarian mindset.
There must be an expert behind the scenes directing this, possibly that young master's father.
"Boss, should we continue to have people posting?"
Kang Baohong asked again tentatively.
"No need. There must be someone keeping an eye on the Polytechnic University BBS these days. No matter how many posts you make, they will be deleted immediately."
In fact, Su Zelin was just testing the waters to see if the other party really wanted to insist on using his own sentences for marketing.
Now he was sure.
If the other party does not intend to adopt it, there is no need for them to delete the post.
It seems that he is still young and energetic, and is reluctant to give away those customized gifts!
But you really made a wrong move.
You can copy the name, layout, decoration, operation model and so on, just like the imitation stores of KFC. But if you even copy the slogan of KFC, "Finger-licking aftertaste, free taste", no one can tolerate this.
The new century is doing this unscrupulous thing.
Haha, it’s okay, then I will have fun with you!
…
That night, in the girls’ dormitory on Zhejiang University campus.
As it was getting close to bedtime, these top students returned to the dormitory building one after another.
In Room 405, Qin Shiqing walked out of the bathroom rubbing her wet hair with a bath towel.
At this time, the girl changed into a set of tight autumn pajamas, showing her slim figure. Her skin was elastic and tight, and there was not a trace of fat on her body. Even Shen Jia, who was washing clothes in the sink on the inner balcony, was envious.
"Shiqing, how do you maintain such a good figure? We all eat about the same amount, but I've gained some weight lately!"
Shen Jia rubbed the coat he had just taken off and said in distress.
Qin Shiqing hung up the towel and said with a smile: "Jia Jia, you don't exercise enough. You need to go running more often. It's easy to gain weight if you sit all the time!"
"How can I be as persistent as you? In winter, I can often go running early in the morning. In this season, it's too difficult to leave the bed!"
Shen Jia sighed helplessly.
"Speaking of morning jogging, there's a guy who's even more persistent than me. Unless it's raining heavily, you can see him on the playground almost every day!"
Speaking of this topic, Qin Shiqing suddenly thought of her childhood sweetheart.
"You mean Su Zelin?"
"Hey, how did you know that?"
"Isn't this simple? Who else but Su Zelin could have such a tone of voice? But I really can't tell. That boy looks so careless, is he so persistent?"
"Haha, he is a person who would never touch something he is not interested in, but if he is very interested in something, no one can stop him!"
"… "
Two girls were chatting on the inner balcony when someone's cell phone rang.
"Shiqing, your phone is calling!"
Xiao Yue shouted.
“Here it comes!”
Qin Shiqing trotted into the dormitory in her furry slippers, picked up her cell phone and saw that it was Tang Yan calling.
After going to college, the relationship between the two remained good. In addition to contacting each other on QQ, they would also talk on the phone from time to time.
Xiaoyanzi didn't have anything special to say, so she just chatted casually. At the end, she said, "Oh, by the way, Shiqing, a large digital store will open on New Year's Day at the Normal University. It's called New Century. Don't you have one at Zhejiang University? And the computer store where Su Zelin works part-time at the Finance Institute is also called this, right?"
"Eh, really?"
Qin Shiqing was slightly surprised.
How long has it been since there was a new branch
"Yes, really. It has already started trial operation. The decoration is very good. The area is more impressive than the small supermarkets in Normal University. There shouldn't be too many people going there every day. Also, I heard that Lu Haoran's University of Technology also has a trial operation!"
"Two new ones?"
The girl was even more surprised.
Qiuwen is right, childhood sweethearts are really ambitious!
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, they should all have the same boss!" Xiaoyanzi said with certainty: "The boss of this store is really amazing. It's only been a year, and he has opened four chain stores. The business is still so good, he must be making a fortune!"
After a while, the call ended.
Upon hearing the news, the girl didn't feel surprised for some reason, but instead felt a little melancholy.
After sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, she opened the drawer and took out a photo from a book.
It was taken when she and Su Zelin were sitting back to back on the grass to take their high school graduation photos. Her childhood sweetheart developed the photo and gave it to her, so Qin Shiqing secretly took it to Zhejiang University.
In the photo, Su Zelin always seems to have a lazy smile on his face.
He is cynical and frivolous and always looks like he deserves a beating.
My childhood sweetheart in high school was just a gangster, and I always hated him for not fighting for it.
However, after entering college, he quietly completed his transformation without realizing it.
He was first the class monitor, then the campus star of the Finance College, and then he became Boss Su, and his business grew bigger and bigger.
He became outstanding, but it felt like the two sides were drifting apart.
Hey, the carefree Zelin from before was actually quite cute when I think about it.
The girl suddenly missed her childhood sweetheart who was not so ambitious.
