I accidentally ate the loving dog food of a middle-aged couple, and Chen Zhu felt slightly uncomfortable.

After getting Deng Zhi's contact information, Chen Zhu felt that time was almost up, so he went back to school.

The first two periods in the afternoon are advanced mathematics. One characteristic of advanced mathematics is that if your mathematical foundation is not bad, you can barely keep up with the professor's thinking.

However, if you accidentally lower your head and pick your fingernails, or bend down to pick up a pen cap, or reply to a message...

In short, it was a very short movement, and then I raised my head again, and suddenly I realized that I couldn't understand. It felt like a professor was talking about heavenly scriptures.

Therefore, Chen Zhu did not dare to slack off. He waited until the end of the two high-mathematics classes, which were followed by professional economics classes. Chen Zhu took advantage of the break to call Deng Zhi.

After ringing for a while, the phone picked up.

However, it seemed to be very noisy on the opposite side. It seemed that many people were talking, discussing, and even quarreling, giving people a sense of déjà vu in the melodrama "The Story of the Editorial Department".

"Hello?"

A female voice sounded, urgent and brief, as if saying another word was a waste of time.

"Hello……"

Chen Zhu was thinking about how to say hello, but he hesitated for half a second. Deng Zhi may have thought that Chen Zhu was a bit verbose, so he asked directly: "Submit an article or break the news?"

"It counts as a submission, but it should be a text-based advertisement."

Chen Zhu said quickly.

"Soft advertising" is also a type of advertising. The difference between it and hard advertising is that it does not directly introduce products, but embeds brand advertising in case studies or storylines, which has a light commercial flavor and high credibility.

"Add to chat on QQ."

After Deng Zhi reported a series of QQ numbers, he immediately hung up the phone.

"You have such a scornful attitude..."

Chen Zhu thought to himself that in 2007, traditional media such as newspapers and television stations still had some status.

But in less than ten years at most, they will be severely impacted by Internet self-media. In 2024, almost no one will read newspapers, except for some government units that need to order some to fill the window.

But now the situation is still better than others, so Chen Zhu searched Deng Zhi’s QQ, and her QQ nickname was “Zhi Zhi”.

After adding her as a friend, Deng Zhi agreed quickly, but she didn't even give Chen Zhu a chance to introduce herself. She just sent him a picture.

Chen Zhu leaned closer to the phone and looked at it:

"Yangcheng Evening News" text information advertising price

1. The main title is 400 yuan per line (limited to 10 words or less)

2. Subtitle is 200 yuan per line (limited to 10 words or less)

3. Each word of the text is 5 yuan (limited to 1,000 words), and each picture is 300 yuan (limited to 20cm).

4. There is no text advertisement for version A, 15% extra for version B, and no additional fee for version C.

The "ABC" here should be the page position of the newspaper. Page A is obviously the best and page C is the worst.

Chen Zhu made some estimates. If it were published on version B, if the interview had 800 words + the main title, it would cost 5,000 yuan.

It cost almost 2,500 yuan to register the company, business cards, and draw up the contract.

There is also Professor Zeng Kun's salary. Chen Zhu is not going to be stingy in this regard. In order to completely win over Zeng Kun and make him a "school traitor" for my use, Chen Zhu plans to hire him with a salary of 10,000 per month.

In total, 18,000 have been killed.

With the remaining 2,500 yuan, I treated the entire team to a big meal. The 20,000 yuan was spent just in time, not a drop was left.

Two days ago, he was still a "big dog", and he will soon return to the ranks of "poor people and poor people". At this time, Chen Zhu felt a little bit like the feeling of "breaking a penny in half" when starting a business.

"Didi didi~"

At this time, QQ rang again, and Zhizhi sent a "?".

She may be wondering why the other party has been bothering her for so long without replying, and if she doesn't talk about it, then she shouldn't waste her time.

Chen Zhu secretly typed replies while taking professional classes.

Shen Shen: Sister Zhizhi, I am Chen Zhu.

Gardenia: Who is Chen Zhu?

Chen Zhu was a little confused and could only reintroduce his identity.

Calm: My father is Chen Peisong from Luhu Street. When I was a child in the labor inspection brigade, my uncle Deng Guangrong also hugged me.

This time Deng Zhi didn't reply immediately. She probably understood that she had misunderstood Chen Zhu's identity, so she waited for a minute before replying.

Zhizhi: Chen Zhu, I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about business. Uncle Chen just called me and mentioned it to me, but I had too many things going on here, so I forgot about it.

Shen Shen: It's okay. After all, we haven't contacted you for a long time. This time I mainly want to post an interview copy about myself.

Zhizhi: No problem. You can draft a rough draft first and then send it to me for revision.

Shen An: Okay, thank you, Sister Zhizhi.

Zhizhi: You’re welcome.

After that, neither party spoke again, and there were no scenes like Deng Zhi asking, "How are you doing now? We haven't seen each other for a long time, do you want to have a meal together?"

What he looks like now is a normal reaction after two people haven't seen each other for more than ten years and have occasionally contacted each other.

In fact, if it weren't for Chen Zhu's plan to start a business after his rebirth, if he still followed the old path of "taking public exams", there is a high probability that he would have completely forgotten Deng Zhi.

Returning to the dormitory in the evening, Chen Zhu opened the new notebook he borrowed from Song Shiwei and drafted interview ideas on it.

This is equivalent to an 800-word essay. Within the agreed length, you must introduce your school, identity, company name, two businesses you are currently working on, and the significance of starting a business in college.

To be honest, it is quite difficult to write, especially the "meaning" part. It can easily exceed the word count with a little effort.

"It would be great if this was really a composition."

Chen Zhu thought sadly, because the composition can easily exceed the word limit, but an extra punctuation mark here will cost 5 yuan.

Thanks to Chen Zhu’s background in the system, the interview was reduced and finally completed in 820 words.

"If it's over 100 yuan, I'll have to eat one less bun tomorrow morning."

Chen Zhu made a joke in his mind, then added a title of no more than 10 words, "Chen Zhu's Entrepreneurial Journey of CUHK" and sent it to Deng Zhi.

After waiting for half an hour, there was still no movement at "Zhizhi". Chen Zhu also understood very well that Deng Zhi seemed to be a busy person and it might take a long time to see him.

The next morning, Chen Zhu made an appointment with Zheng Ju to come to the office of the School of Computer Science during the break, and specifically found Zeng Kun.

Zeng Kun thought they were here to deliver project review fees.

After all, the "Dream Life Web Page Competition" has ended for more than a week. According to normal procedures, the fees should be sent over right after the event ends.

But Zeng Kun also knew that he didn't do anything. It seemed that he was just in name from beginning to end, so he didn't rush him.

In his opinion, the copywriting ideas of the entries that won trophies were very innovative, but the web design was average and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

"Professor Zeng."

Chen Zhu politely handed over an envelope.

This is the established rule for giving review fees or even red envelopes, wrapped in envelopes.

Because the envelope is opaque, others do not know what is inside, which has a certain concealing effect.

Zeng Kun was quite happy because he suddenly had an extra income of 2,000 yuan.

This is probably the case for men after marriage. The visible salary is given to the family, and the invisible bonus review is reserved for themselves.

"good."

Zeng Kun suppressed his inner joy. After all, as an associate professor, he had no other income except salary.

But the moment his fingers touched the envelope, Zeng Kun suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Zhu.

What's going on?

The thickness is obviously wrong.

It’s not less, it’s more! Is 2,000 yuan a ten-yuan note?

Noticing Zeng Kun's expression, Chen smiled without saying anything and handed over a well-made business card.

Zeng Kun took it without knowing why, glanced at the name and title on it, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.
