Chapter 334: The worst times are also the best times
Teacher Li Qingxiu’s marketing class is quite interesting because she previously worked as a senior executive in a large company and has a lot of experience in management and marketing. She can easily come up with many practical cases, which is much better than most professors who just read from a textbook.
However, when it comes to marketing, Chen Jianghe feels that the Remi Group of later generations is the real deal. If they just borrow a few tricks from them, they can be invincible at this stage.
The class passed quickly. During the break, Lin Siqi turned to Chen Jianghe and said, "The class hasn't organized a team-building activity for a long time. How about arranging one while the weather is good?"
"Sure." Chen Jianghe nodded, and then asked her: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Lin Siqi was prepared. He picked up the notebook and handed it over with both hands.
Chen Jianghe took it with a smile and looked at it. It listed the hot springs in Conghua, rafting in Qingyuan, a two-day trip to Hailing Island, etc., all of which were good projects.
Chen Jianghe's eyes lit up when he saw the last part: "This project is pretty good."
"Which one?" Lin Siqi came closer.
"Happy World just opened last year. It's not too far away and has a lot of interesting attractions."
After Chen Jianghe expressed his opinion, he asked her again: "What do you think?"
"I'll listen to you."
Lin Siqi and Chen Jianghe work in sync.
"Then it's settled."
Chen Jianghe said very straightforwardly, then stood up and walked to the podium: "Students."
As soon as Chen Jianghe opened his mouth, the crowd fell silent, with dozens of pairs of eyes looking at him.
"The class is planning to organize a team-building activity this weekend. The destination is Panyu Happy World. It will be two days and one night. Tickets, food and lodging are all included. We are required to wear class uniforms, enter the venue in an orderly manner, and have fun. No leave is allowed without special circumstances."
After Chen Jianghe explained the content of the team building clearly, he looked at the secretary and said, "The funds for this event are sponsored by the League Secretary Lin Siqi."
As soon as Chen Jianghe finished speaking, the brothers in dormitory 414 took the lead in applauding, and the other students quickly followed suit. A few students who were more excited even shouted loudly. After all, the team-building activities organized by other classes either involved climbing Baiyun Mountain or cycling on Dafu Mountain. There was nothing new about them. Panyu Happy World was different. Many of its amusement projects were the best in the world, and it had just officially opened last year. Most of the students had never been there.
What’s more important is that it’s two days and one night, with tickets, food and accommodation all included. This kind of heavenly team-building treatment is absolutely unique in the entire Guangdong University of Finance.
"Student Chen, I haven't been to Happy World yet. Can you take me with you?" Teacher Li Qingxiu approached Chen Jianghe and asked in a low voice.
"Sure, be my employee and I'll spoil you." Chen Jianghe responded with a grin.
Teacher Li Qingxiu's cheeks turned slightly red, and she thought to herself, even my husband is not as good at flirting as you.
However, Chen Jianghe only teased her lightly, and he controlled the scale very well.
When he returned to his seat, he found that Lin Siqi sniffed, her eyes were watery, and tears were about to fall. Chen Jianghe asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you so excited about going to Happy World that you want to cry?"
"No." Lin Siqi put his hands on the table, resting his chin on the back of his hands, and said in a low voice with grievance; "I just did the math, and I lost a month's salary. In fact, I am very poor now..."
"There is so much money in the company's account. If you move a little bit, I can turn a blind eye." Chen Jianghe said with a smile.
"That's the company's money, it can't be touched." Lin Siqi is very principled.
"There is some money in the bank card I gave you. Have you checked it at the bank?" Chen Jianghe asked.
"No." Lin Siqi shook his head: "You have to save ."
Chen Jianghe blinked, picked up a pen, put it between his index and middle fingers, and spun it a few times, then said, "Then I'll give you a raise."
"Really?"
Lin Siqi suddenly became energetic.
Chen Jianghe looked at her with a smile. The way this girl cried poor was both serious and cute. When she heard about the salary increase, the tears in the corners of her eyes and on her eyelashes had not yet fallen, but the shallow dimples on her cheeks showed a smile, just like a rainbow in the sky after the rain, so pleasing to the eye.
"I'll give you an extra ten thousand." Chen Jianghe said.
Apart from anything else, the secretary's performance in the spring recruitment is worth a salary increase.
"Yeah!" Lin Siqi nodded with great satisfaction. If there were no teachers and classmates watching in the classroom, she would have wanted to kiss Chen Jianghe.
"Thank you, boss." Lin Siqi took the pen from Chen Jianghe's hand, wrote four words on the notebook, and then playfully added: "Love you~"
Chen Jianghe waited for her to finish writing, then took the pen and wrote: "Ai Laohuoyou, rabbit."
…
After finishing the marketing class, Chen Jianghe had no interest in other courses. He carried his gift box and strolled around the Academic Affairs Building, the Administrative Building and the College Youth League Committee.
"Jiang He, you've come at the right time. Come sit down and talk to you."
Huang Yuzhang, secretary of the college's Youth League Committee, took the cigarette from Chen Jianghe with a smile, and then warmly invited him to sit down.
"The dean assigned a task to you and Teacher Xu before the New Year to record an enrollment promotion video. Has Teacher Xu mentioned this to you?" Secretary Huang asked with a smile.
"I mentioned it." Chen Jianghe nodded with a smile, and then explained: "I was too busy at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, so I didn't have time to record it. I have some free time recently, so I will discuss with Teacher Xu to record a few samples for you to review."
"Okay, okay." Huang Yuzhang was very satisfied with Chen Jianghe's attitude. This kid was clear-headed about big things, organized about small things, spoke nicely, and there was nothing wrong with him.
"There is one more thing. The provincial TV station's economic channel sent a letter, wanting to do an exclusive interview with you. Do you want to show up and increase your visibility?" Huang Yuzhang continued.
Chen Jianghe smiled and shook his head. The financial crisis is now raging across the world and the country has also been severely affected. A large number of factories have closed down, a large number of workers have lost their jobs, and many industries are in dire straits. Going to TV stations to show up and do publicity at this time is tantamount to stirring up hatred and is counterproductive.
"Then I'll turn it down for you. I also think the timing is not right." Huang Yuzhang lit a cigarette and handed it to Chen Jianghe.
Chen Jianghe reached out to take it, but put it behind his ear.
Huang Yuzhang was a little surprised: "Quit smoking?"
"Yes." Chen Jianghe nodded: "Teacher Xu doesn't like the smell of smoke."
Huang Yuzhang smiled and said with some emotion: "It's a good thing . It's not like me who has been smoking for decades and can't quit even if I want to."
"The Youth League Committee is under a lot of work pressure. It's natural for you to smoke a few cigarettes occasionally to relieve the pressure," said Chen Jianghe.
"You kid." Huang Yuzhang laughed: "Come to my house for dinner some other day and tell this to your aunt."
"OK."
Chen Jianghe agreed with a smile, chatted with Secretary Huang about some irrelevant matters, then stood up and said goodbye, heading to the University Student Entrepreneurship Center.
The University Student Entrepreneurship Center at this time has changed a lot compared to last year. There are several freight trucks from different logistics companies parked not far from the door. Many part-time college students are busy packing goods and filling out express delivery forms. People are coming in and out, and it looks quite lively.
The financial crisis has had a huge impact on the foreign trade industry and the real economy, but Hangzhou Ma's Ali Group has gone against the current and its e-commerce business has experienced explosive growth. The high-quality and low-priced products on TB.com have gradually gained favor among consumers.
This is the worst of times and the best of times. The replacement of the old and new order is progressing extremely rapidly due to the arrival of a crisis.
"Find a way to help Mr. Xu open a few billion-yuan stores first."
Chen Jianghe's eyes flickered. "Then he invested in YY to test the waters of the traffic era in advance. He worked so hard in the real industry to make a few dollars. Later generations of internet celebrities live-streamed for two years and paid more than 1 billion in taxes."
