Students who want to make progress know that it is quite difficult to get into the sight of deputy ministerial leaders.
At that time, Chen Zhu was regarded as a "young old leader", but in fact, he was only noticed by department-level leaders at most.
Of course, the school is still different from the formal system, but if my name can be mentioned by School Luo, at least the basic situation in the CUHK has been completely stabilized.
"So stocks may be arsenic poison to others, but to Backtrack Technology and CUHK Learning Network, they are actually an accelerant."
Chen Zhu thought like this and soon arrived at the office in Science and Technology Valley.
It had only been a day and a half since the weekend, and Chen Zhu was shocked by everyone's appearance.
All of them had dark circles under their eyes and yawned. They looked extremely sleepy, but they were very energetic, as if they felt like after taking opium.
After asking, Chen Zhu found out that although he had been scolded in the past few days, his business volume was also increasing. Under the dual stimulation of "making more money" and being scolded "for no reason", the current situation was formed.
"You can't make enough money, so everyone should calm down, because according to the current situation, you may still have to be scolded for a while."
Chen Zhu can only tell the truth and persuade everyone to adjust their mentality.
To say that investors bully the weak and shy away from the strong, it is clear that the economics professor of Jinan University and Deng Zhi of the "Yangcheng Evening News" have signed their names, and their names are still at the front.
However, stock investors don’t know the professor’s contact information at all;
As for the "Yangcheng Evening News" phone number, sometimes it was impossible to get through at all. Occasionally, when I got through, the other party was cursing, but they hung up without saying a word.
Only Chen Zhu, a "soft persimmon", has not only published his contact information, but also has direct dialogue with customer service, and must be polite when Chen Zhu requests it.
Therefore, it instantly became the best place for investors to vent their emotions.
"Mr. Chen."
Xia Huilan asked very strangely: "I saw that the stock price went up today. Why are there so many people coming in to scold you... scold us?"
Chen Zhu took a look at the conversations and found that they still had the familiar flavor of cyber violence in 2024.
Yaya: Hello, how can I help you?
User [Crush Chen Zuo’s dog head]: I made a small profit of 600 today. Please check in and talk to your boss.
…
Yaya: Hello, how can I help you?
User [Gay Chen Zhu]: La la la, la la la, the clowns are watching from the front row.
…
Yaya: Hello, how can I help you?
User [Chen Zhu couldn’t hold his shit and was beaten by the nurse]: Didn’t your boss say that Big A couldn’t hold on anymore? Then why is the red index line? Could it be that I’m color blind?
…
Seeing this, Teacher Xia Huilan felt embarrassed. She blocked the screen with her hand and said, "Forget it, stop watching it, so as not to affect your mood."
You can only talk to customer service if you register an ID on Xuexue.com, so those unconvinced investors, as well as netizens who heard the news and feared that the world would be unstable, racked their brains to make a fuss about the ID.
But Chen Zhu, who had been reborn, was not angry at all about these nicknames and remarks that made Xia Huilan blush. He even found them a bit funny.
If there weren't all subordinates here, Chen Zhu would have wanted to read these interesting bad reviews one by one.
"Mr. Chen."
When Zhang Guangfeng saw that Chen Zhu was silent, he mistakenly thought that he was angry, so he comforted him and said, "When the market falls, they will naturally not come to cause trouble."
"Ha, that's not necessarily the case~"
Chen Zhu is very aware of the mentality of netizens.
Now that the stock has risen, they come to laugh at you;
But when the stock falls and they lose money, they need a channel to vent. At that time, the abusive remarks may be even more unpleasant.
There are all kinds of things like "Three mournful door gods, if it weren't for your crow's mouth, how could the stock fall...".
When can you really stop?
It wasn't until the market's decline was completely unstoppable, and they were panicked, that they suddenly realized that the report was actually a well-intentioned reminder from the foresight.
But now, at least no matter whether stocks rise or fall, they can bring a certain amount of traffic.
The top priority is to first solve the problem of "the pace is moving too fast and the teaching staff in third- and fourth-tier cities cannot keep up." Chen Zhu called everyone outside and asked everyone to come up with a solution to this problem.
In fact, there are only 8 people in the team now, but for an Internet startup company, the number of people is actually not very thin.
[WeChat] For such an era-defining app, the early team had only over 20 people, and only 10 people were responsible for the technology.
"Everyone can speak freely and discuss solutions."
Chen Zhu saw that everyone seemed to be more cautious. After all, it was the first company meeting, and everyone was a little reserved, so he encouraged them to speak bravely.
Zhang Guangfeng found that it was not like in the system where people must speak according to seniority, so he took a look at Zeng Kun first and found that the old man was frowning and seemed to be still thinking.
So, Zhang Guangfeng, with a little expression in mind, coughed lightly and said: "Mr. Chen wants to open up third- and fourth-tier cities, so should we open an office there?"
"office?"
Chen Zhu smiled inwardly.
Comrade Guangfeng's official mark is too serious. Which good person who runs a company would say the term "office"? Shouldn't it be called "branch" normally?
However, Chen Zhu's ability to control his emotions is very good. If he laughs, it might dampen Zhang Guangfeng's enthusiasm. He just asked others: "What do you think of this opinion?"
“Will the cost of setting up a new office be too high?”
Song Qing asked with some uncertainty.
Seeing some objections, Zhang Guangfeng quickly explained: "It doesn't need to be very large, just rent a small office and hire one or two local people to manage it."
"If there is one office in each city, that would be too exaggerated and would be a serious waste of manpower and material resources."
Fang Qing also disagreed. As the performance of Zhongda Learning Network became better and better, the junior girl's sense of identification with the company became stronger and stronger.
When she was waiting for Chen Zhu to promote the "800 million user software" project, she happened to take the opportunity to become a regular employee.
Two people in a row jumped out to object. Zhang Guangfeng flinched a little, embarrassed to continue arguing.
"This is the company's first collective meeting. If you are the first to stand up and speak, it is already very effective in inspiring others."
Chen Zhu gently comforted Zhang Guangfeng.
Zhang Guangfeng received the praise, his face turned red and he waved his hands, and said with a hint of shame: "I was actually a bit blind, and I didn't consider the cost issue at all."
"Since the cost of an office is relatively high, how about switching to advertising?"
Zeng Kun, who had been frowning and thinking, said: "Just like our advertisements on traffic radio stations, we should also copy this in those third- and fourth-tier small cities."
"The cost has been reduced, but someone has to talk about it."
Although this is the opinion of her lover, Xia Huilan still does not completely agree: "Which of us will go to the radio stations in those cities to negotiate? Doesn't time cost money?"
"Too."
Lao Zeng was immediately speechless.
The old educated youth's skills are very good, their moral character is also very noble, and their reputation is enough to scare people, but they themselves have some backward ideas and no ability to solve practical problems.
At this time, Song Qing spoke again: "Apart from the time cost, there is another problem. There are not many annual members in third- and fourth-tier cities. Xiaozhuang..."
Song Qing looked at Zhuang Mengshi. She was a little older than Zhuang Mengshi, so she called her "Xiao Zhuang".
"Have you counted how many annual membership members there are in the company outside of Guangzhou?"
Song Qing asked.
"12!"
Zhuang Mengshi replied neatly: "Five of them were attracted to recharge when we were scolded in the past two days."
"There are more than 600 annual members in Guangzhou, and there are only 12 in all other non-Guangzhou cities combined."
Song Qing concluded: "It shows that parents there may not have great demand. I think advertising may not be worth the gain."
"Then...should we focus all our attention on the first- and second-tier cities and directly abandon the third- and fourth-tier cities?"
Ning Lianlian, who has a relatively reserved personality, mustered up the courage to speak.
"It's definitely not possible to give up..."
Zhang Guangfeng shook his head.
No one seems to have a good idea about the next step. In fact, this involves the development route of the "CUHK Learning Network". No one except Chen Zhu can make a decision.
However, calling everyone together to discuss issues together will help enhance the cohesion and sense of belonging of the team and increase the spirit of "ownership", so Chen Zhu did this.
After a brief silence, Chen Zhu broke the deadlock: "I have an idea here. What do you think?"
Everyone else in the team looked over, and Chen Zhu said calmly:
"The essence of Learning Network is still a tutoring website. The core point is tutors and children. We just assume the function of a communication bridge and service. Children are available in every region, but only first- and second-tier cities have university towns, and only 985 and
211 University exists.”
"So we are very lucky. There are two 985 schools and two 211 schools in Guangzhou, so there is no shortage of tutors here. This is also the advantage of first-tier cities."
"In third- and fourth-tier cities, I also know that the demand for tutors is relatively low, and there are some experienced teachers who organize make-up classes privately. To be honest, I even thought about giving up on cities below third- and fourth-tier cities at the beginning."
"Later I thought that if a website wants to be the best in the industry, it can't just make money as the criterion. Popularity and influence are also factors that need to be considered, so I still liberalized website registration rights in third- and fourth-tier cities."
"These are 12 annual memberships."
Chen Zhu glanced around the team and said seriously: "We can't say there are only 12 people, but we should think that there are 12 parents from other places who trust us without having met in person. Just this trust, we
Something should be done.”
These words were quite inciting, and Fang Qing couldn't help but ask: "Then what should we do to respond to these parents who trust us?"
"The cost-effectiveness of establishing offices and advertising in third- and fourth-tier cities is indeed too low compared to demand."
Chen Zhu's tone was frank and did not mean any criticism.
He said slowly: "My idea is to conduct research at the gates of middle and high schools in those cities and distribute promotional materials. Old teachers have the ability to organize make-up classes at home, and there may be some young teachers who want to make some extra money, but
Are you suffering from lack of channels but afraid to recruit and publicize aggressively?"
"If this kind of research and publicity is ineffective and the teaching staff still cannot keep up, we will refund the membership fees of these 12 parents."
Chen Zhu said: "But at least we have tried hard to open up the market in third- and fourth-tier cities. It's just that the time is not ripe now."
After hearing this, everyone felt that this was a moderate solution. Many of the young teachers in those schools were graduates of 211 University.
"So, who's going?"
Zeng Kun asked such a key question.
This is equivalent to a business trip around the province, and you have to go to the gates of junior high schools to preach. You can imagine the intensity of the work.
The most important thing is that the result may not necessarily be effective, it is just a brave attempt.
There was some hesitation in Zhang Guangfeng's eyes. He felt that he was the most suitable candidate.
After all, he is a young and strong man who does not need to go to school or teach. He just has a newborn daughter, and he is a little reluctant to let go of the soft and gentle home at home.
"I'll go!"
At this moment, Song Qing suddenly spoke.
"you go?"
Zhang Guangfeng finally gritted his teeth and said: "I am a girl, otherwise it would still be me..."
"I'll go, there's no danger in the country."
Song Qing repeated it again.
Chen Zhu looked at the thin and small Song Qing. She must have been eating more normally during this period, and her formerly dry and yellow hair had gradually gained some color.
In fact, at her age, many people have just entered graduate school, but Song Qing has been working for several years, supporting her younger siblings in their studies, and experiencing the grief of her mother's death.
However, her high-spirited fighting spirit still emerged in her body. In fact, Song Qing was also Chen Zhu's favorite candidate for the business trip.
"Okay! It's all thanks to you."
Chen Zhu made a decision.
Zhang Guangfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if the teacher mentioned the classmates around him when asking questions in class.
However, Chen Zhu changed the subject and announced an important decision:
"Song Qing will be promoted to the business manager of Traceability Technology with immediate effect. The basic salary will be increased from 600 to 5,000. A daily subsidy of 60 will be provided for business trips, and all food and accommodation will be reimbursed."
Looking back from its establishment to the present, in addition to the manager Zeng Kun, a second official leader finally appeared.
"I……"
Zhang Guangfeng was stunned for a moment, and he felt like vomiting out the regret in his heart. If the boss had announced this good thing earlier, he would have fought hard to get it.
The monthly salary of 5,000 yuan is higher than the apparent salary of many civil servants.
But how could Chen Zhu announce this decision in advance? Only those who dare to face the difficult environment are qualified to receive this reward and this position.
Not only that, Chen Zhu also said to Song Qing: "The company will provide you with a laptop before you go on a business trip, so that you can work as a customer service person while traveling."
Zhang Guangfeng's head was buzzing, and he vaguely felt why he had been a temporary worker for many years and was conscientious in his work, but every time there was a quota for becoming a full-time employee, he was never given the opportunity.
Even if something went wrong in the unit, he would be pushed out to be the "scapegoat".
Before, he always thought it was because he had a deeper relationship with others, but now Zhang Guangfeng seems to understand a little bit. In fact, because of his own personality, he has never been able to become the leader's confidant.
Therefore, an inconspicuous decision at work can affect the life of ordinary people.
Now that the company is small, Song Qing's "business manager" benefits are only reflected in salary and income.
Once the company expands or even goes public, these people will be the real veterans.
After Chen Zhu announced his promotion decision, he said to everyone sincerely: "Eastern Guangdong is a big market. Take Guangzhou as an example. I wonder if you have read the "Guangzhou Municipal Education Bureau" released by the Education Bureau this year.
Business Overview White Paper.”
"There is such data. In 2007, Guangzhou had 500,000 primary school students, 400,000 junior high school students, and 170,000 high school students."
"In such a city, there are more than 1 million people who may become potential customers of our website, but we currently have less than 700 annual members, which shows that the space that can be tapped is huge."
"Everyone, come on!"
Chen Zhu lets others work hard, and he himself will not be idle.
After Song Qing went on a business trip, there was one less person in the office in a short period of time, and Chen Zhu also planned to go to the TV station to discuss cooperation. If everything goes well, the attention and traffic will really explode, so he needs to increase the number of customer service personnel.
Nowadays, customer service staff must undergo speaking skills training before taking up their posts, so arrangements must be made in advance.
Since he had a taste of Song Qing, even Zhang Guangfeng was very serious about his work attitude, so Chen Zhu continued to ask his parents to help introduce him.
But this time Chen Zhu had one more request, he needed to find a blood relative.
Chen Zhu had no intention of developing the company into a family business, but the reason why he found a relative was because as the number of people in the company expanded, the team would definitely become more and more difficult to manage.
Having a relative placed there allows me to keep track of the public opinion among employees at any time.
This trick is not taught in books, so Chen Zhu doesn't know it, but Chen Chu can.
