Jiang Qin arrived at Room 208 early in the morning and found a copy of Linchuan Youth Daily on the table.
He read it briefly but didn't look at it carefully. After all, the contents were all answers he had given before, and there was no point in reading it again, so he just put it in the file bag.
"Send it home for Mom and Dad to take a look."
Sooner or later, the couple would have to let their parents know about their entrepreneurial venture, and in the eyes of the couple, the credibility of the newspaper was definitely more credible than their own words. After all, the story was written in the newspaper, and their own answers were very positive, so it would be difficult for them not to believe it.
Jiang Qin thought about it and suddenly wanted to see the expressions of his parents when they were reading the newspaper.
Unfortunately, the competition at the University of Science and Technology has become increasingly intense and I cannot leave.
Moreover, Sunai's progress has also caught up, and the first round of trial operation of group buying will be launched at the end of the month.
Jiang Qin casually pulled out a pen from the pen holder, wrote an address on the file bag, threw it into the mail basket at the door, then stood up and walked to Sunai's side, glancing at the screen full of codes.
Very professional, I can't understand it.
"Boss, please don't stand behind me. I don't know why, but I feel a little panicked."
Jiang Qin showed a cold boss face: "I don't know why, it's all because of the improper habits you developed when you watched improper things in the office."
Sunai was very angry after hearing this: "At least I don't look at my feet every day!"
Jiang Qin's expression changed: "You... you looked at my favorites?"
"No, but the recommended videos are all about silk feet, both black and white, I can't pretend not to see it."
"Sometimes websites make random recommendations that have nothing to do with my hobbies!" Jiang Qin is the most stubborn person in his entire body.
Sunai was silent for a moment: "Boss, I want you to understand that I am a programmer. I know more about websites than you do."
"Look at your desk, it's a mess. Can't you tidy it up?"
"???"
Jiang Qin directly used a trick to change the subject. Instead of showing any embarrassment, he scolded Su Nai and then returned to his workstation and changed the password of his video website.
A 38-year-old man who has been reborn cannot control everything. Sometimes he may feel a little embarrassed and make small mistakes, but it is not a big problem.
…
In the afternoon, Sunai went to Jiang Qin to report his work.
The progress of the group-buying website has been mostly completed, and it is estimated that testing can be carried out in two weeks.
In addition, she also demonstrated to Jiang Qin some details that were not demonstrated last time, which basically met Jiang Qin's requirements.
Sunai’s greatest strength is not his skills but his ability to understand. Just like group buying, Jiang Qin’s plan is not written professionally, but Sunai’s completion degree is very high. He is truly a treasure technician.
Be nicer to her in the future.
If such an employee runs away, it would be difficult to find another one.
Jiang Qin secretly changed the password of the video website and pretended that nothing had happened.
Then he opened Word and typed a line of words.
Pintuan.com - Free entry and sales commission plan
The forum's promotional combination must continue, at least the entire Linchuan University Town must be taken over and the traffic must be truly in our hands.
Currently, the campus beauty contest at the University of Science and Technology is in full swing and will probably end at the end of this month, followed by the Normal University and the University of Science and Technology, in that order.
Therefore, the trial operation market of group buying can only be carried out in Lin’an University first.
After all, the traffic at Linda has stabilized.
By the time the results of the trial operation come out, most of the users from KUST should have been retained. Then we can push group buying over there and take over KUST’s market share.
"The timeline is a bit tight, so some things need to be prepared in advance."
While Jiang Qin was thinking, he called Tan Qing over.
There are currently no available staff in the marketing team, and the two people in charge are still Tan Qing and Wei Lanlan. Wei Lanlan is now mainly responsible for the business of the University of Science and Technology, while Tan Qing is now mainly responsible for the business of Linyi University.
Since the first test field of group buying is in Linda, it is only natural to let Tan Qing do this.
"Boss, what do you want from me?"
Tan Qing came over, exhausted, with messy hair.
"Did you go to the market?"
Jiang Qin pulled a chair for her to sit down, and called someone over to pour her a glass of water.
"Yes, I've been running around recently because the advertising business here at Linda is almost saturated. I'm thinking about expanding it, but the results are not very good. On the one hand, the advertising fees of our forum are relatively expensive, and small businesses don't even consider it. On the other hand, the advertising space in the forum is also relatively limited, and there is not much room for negotiation, unlike Lanlan's side, where every deal is successful..."
Tan Qing actually felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said it very tactfully and did not express it directly.
The main reason for her discomfort was not that Linchuan University had little business, but that it had almost reached the point of exhaustion.
Why
Because the users who want to advertise and have the ability to advertise have basically been developed, the rest either cannot afford to advertise or have no interest at all.
However, the marketing team does not receive a basic salary and is entirely based on commissions. No business means no income.
The reason why Tan Qing went to explore the outside market by herself was because she had not concluded any deals recently and she urgently needed new business to open up the situation.
On the other hand, the situation for Wei Lanlan is very good.
Because the University of Science and Technology is a brand new market, all merchants are eager to try forum marketing, and it is no problem to close a deal in minutes.
She and Wei Lanlan are good sisters. They joined 208 together from a part-time job agency. Now they are in two different places. One manages an old market with no development potential, and the other is a completely undeveloped blue ocean. It would be a lie to say that she is not jealous.
"Have a drink of water first." Jiang Qin pointed to the cup in front of him.
Tan Qing picked up the water cup and took a sip: "Boss, I'm done. Just tell me if you have anything to say."
"The reason I asked you to come here today is actually to solve the bottleneck you are facing now. The main users of our forum are college students. It is not realistic to expand the market, at least not at this stage."
Jiang Qin could understand Tan Qing's current mentality and admired her attitude.
She was left in the old battlefield, attracting low-quality customers, while her good friend went to a new battlefield, where she was fed up with just eating the minions. However, seeing that her income was getting lower and lower, she did not give up, but instead worked hard to expand outward. There are actually very few employees like this.
"Boss, if we don't go out, our business will stop. I have a team. Even if I don't have any objections, they will have some."
"The reason I called you here is to have you develop a brand new market."
Tan Qing was stunned for a moment, thinking that the surprise came too suddenly: "Really?"
Jiang Qin nodded seriously: "No kidding."
"Is it a polytechnic university? Or a normal university? I'll go prepare right away!"
"Neither, in fact, it's still Linda."
Tan Qing's smiling face instantly turned into a crying face: "Boss, I've been very anxious recently, please stop making fun of me, okay?"
Jiang Qin waved his hand: "Just like you said, the advertising space on the forum is limited and the price is relatively high. This threshold has already blocked some people and is not conducive to future development, so the best way is to lower the threshold."
“Should we lower the advertising fee? That would certainly attract a new batch of merchants, but the merchants who have already paid will curse, right?”
"No, I mean group buying websites."
"The one we talked about in the last meeting?"
"right."
Jiang Qin called Su Nai over and asked her to demonstrate to Tan Qing again what she had just demonstrated.
Tan Qing was still confused at first, but as the demonstration progressed, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she vaguely began to understand what Jiang Qin meant.
"Boss, do you want all the surrounding businesses to join this website?"
Jiang Qin nodded: "In the future, we will connect group buying directly to the forum and invite merchants to join for free. In this way, even small users can get promotion, so that the market that has been eaten up can have a second spring."
"But how can you make money with free entry?" Tan Qing didn't understand.
Jiang Qin looked at her and said, "It's free to join. We will only take a small cut from the sales of each order."
Tan Qing thought about it for a while and couldn't help but feel a little shocked: "Is this possible?"
"Of course, but developing this market will definitely be difficult in the early stages. Whether merchants can accept the commission agreement is the biggest hurdle. If this matter is given to you, do you have the confidence to do it?"
"Yes, Boss, I want to do it!"
Tan Qing agreed without any hesitation.
The advertising fee is a fixed price and the market sustainability is very low. Just like the case with Linda, the current business has reached a bottleneck.
But group buying is different. Since it is free to join, the size of the platform is not a problem at all, which means there is no threshold for entry.
If this market can be developed, it will definitely be larger than the market in the technology sector.
"Since you want to do it, let's start with the pedestrian street. Your task in the next few days is to investigate the willingness of the merchants there."
“Can I directly disclose the Pintuan.com?”
Jiang Qin thought for a moment and said, "My suggestion is not to negotiate in the name of Pintuan.com, because this is a new thing, and the unknown represents fear. You should negotiate in the name of the forum. When we held the school beauty contest before, many merchants on the pedestrian street came to ask about the promotion price, but gave up because the fee was too high. You can start with them first and tell them that we now have a free promotion opportunity. Registration is valid within two weeks. Ask them if they are willing to try it."
Tan Qing nodded thoughtfully: "Will Pintuan.com be online in two weeks?"
“A trial run will be conducted in two weeks.”
