Chapter 191 I don’t want to show off anymore!
Dean Shu wanted Chen Zhu to go to his office.
Chen Zhu estimated that the news about starting a business had also reached the ears of this big boss, but Dean Shu usually had no airs in class and was not the kind of teacher who was difficult to get along with and talk to.
Chen Zhu temporarily handed over the customer service account to Fang Qing and asked her to look at the chat records between herself and other users and learn to reply to the parents who came to consult.
Due to Lingnan's special status at CUHK, the administrative building is not mixed with other departments. Lingnan has its own office building.
Arriving outside Dean Shu's office, he knocked on the door "dong dong dong" and heard a "please come in" from inside. Then Chen Zhu pushed the door open and entered.
In the large office with clear windows, in addition to Dean Shu Yuan, there were also head teacher Professor Xu Qingcheng and counselor Fu Qianling.
Since the class meeting at the beginning of the school year to determine the class monitor, Chen Zhu has never seen the class teacher again, but he communicates frequently with the counselor, Sister Ling.
"Chen, you can do it!"
As soon as Fu Qianling saw Chen Zhu, she immediately joked: "I became the boss without saying a word. If Dean Shu hadn't asked me, I wouldn't even know!"
"Dean Shu, Professor Xu."
Chen Zhu first said hello to them, and then responded modestly to the counselor: "We are just messing around in a small way, purely based on our interests, so we don't dare to say anything."
Shu Yuan and Xu Qingcheng looked at each other, and their impressions of Chen Zhu were that he "doesn't talk much, is low-key, but doesn't have stage fright when things happen".
Perhaps because of his candidacy for squad leader, Xu Qingcheng had the impression that Chen Zhu was "more well-planned".
"Excessive politeness is hypocrisy."
Fu Qianling pretended to be angry and said: "You have already published an interview in the newspaper, and you still said that you are just making a small fuss. Dean Shu just said that he has not been published in the newspaper a few times."
How could Shu Yuan have not been in the newspapers? He has been interviewed by provincial and municipal TV stations. However, for this kind of person, it is not necessary to have a great reputation, so as not to be too high-profile and attract the attention of some leaders of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
"To be exact, I've climbed there twice."
Shu Yuan said with a smile: "I lost my ID card twice and I had to report it as lost."
This sentence was a self-deprecating joke, and several people in the office laughed in agreement.
Shu Yuan is probably in his early 50s. He has very few hairs on his head due to his extreme intelligence. He has a shiny forehead and a short and chubby figure. He looks more approachable than Professor Xu Qingcheng.
At this time, the assistant to the dean poured a glass of pure water over.
Chen glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a young woman in her early 30s. She was probably the one who called him just now.
“How has the response been to the website?”
At this time, Shu Yuan asked Chen Zhu to sit on the sofa and asked about some matters about the learning network.
Why Chen Zhu wants to start a business, why the company is named "Tuhuihui", and how to balance time between study and entrepreneurship... these are all included in the interview.
So Shu Yuan doesn't care. He really wants to know the market acceptance of this business model and its future development route.
"good."
Chen Zhu said: "Before I came here, there were already three people..."
After taking a look at the QQ group chat with Fang Qing's team, he changed his mind and said, "There are already 4 parents who have become annual members."
While walking over just now, Fang Qing also convinced a parent to become a member.
"That much?"
Xu Qingcheng was a little surprised. Today's "Yangcheng Evening News" must have just been released not long ago.
Calculated according to 399*4, this is almost 1,600 yuan.
“The price is relatively good.”
Shu Yuan pointed out the key point: "The annual membership fee of 399 yuan is no burden for parents who can afford a tutor, and for convenience, I think most of them are willing to pay this amount."
"Dean Shu is in a commanding position, and our little tricks can't hide it from you."
Chen Zhu flattered me politely.
"Stop saying that. I didn't ask you to come here to give a report."
Shu Yuan crossed his hands on his belly, looked at Chen Zhu and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
In addition to the counselor Fu Qianling and the young woman's assistant, Shu Yuan and Xu Qingcheng actually work part-time in the company and have practical management or consulting experience.
So Chen Zhu thought it would be good to discuss it with them, so he said: "The business model of Xuexue.com needs to quickly seize the market, so we plan to improve and develop while focusing on service, and we cannot stop external publicity..."
Chen Zhu paused for a moment, then realized that everyone was listening attentively, and continued: "Starting next month, I plan to talk to the TV station about shooting commercials."
"Ouch!"
Fu Qianling smacked her tongue, thinking that Chen Zhuo had taken a big step. The website had just been launched and was about to be on TV.
I didn't expect that this seemingly innocuous student could be so ambitious.
For ordinary people, advertising on TV seems to be the right of big brands and is very far away from their own lives.
"Young people are still brave."
Shu Yuan smiled slightly. He was not surprised by the behavior of advertising on TV, and even quite agreed with Chen Zhu's concept of "seizing the market."
This type of business model is relatively simple, so it cannot give others the opportunity to imitate. If it cannot achieve a market share of more than 40% within a year, it is likely to enter the era of meat grinder involution in the tutoring industry.
"TV commercials are not cheap."
Xu Qingcheng interjected that he knew the price of TV advertisements very well.
Take Guangzhou Television and Satellite TV as an example. The cheapest one costs tens of thousands of dollars a month in advertising fees, and during prime time it costs more than 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
Chen Zhu knew what the head teacher meant. He seemed to be saying that the publicity expenses were very high, but in fact he wanted to ask if his family paid for it.
Chen Zhu thought for a moment and then said slowly: "I made about 1 million from stock trading."
"What?"
Shu Yuan and Xu Qingcheng's eyes widened at the same time. It turned out that Dean Shu was leaning on the sofa and he sat upright at this time.
Shu Yuan is the chairman of Zhongda Venture Capital. He handles an unknown amount of money every day. One million is not much to him. What shocked him was that a student made one million through stock trading.
One is the amount, and the other is the means.
Even the young woman's assistant opened her mouth in surprise. The round, black hole was moist and felt a wonderful distance away from her throat.
"I haven't heard you say that?"
The counselor Sister Ling said in surprise.
Chen Zhu smiled harmlessly: "I'm just messing around out of interest. I don't have anything to say."
"That tone again!"
The word "Versailles" is not popular yet, but Fu Qianling can't help but want to hit this student twice.
"What stocks did you buy?"
Xu Qingcheng asked suddenly, with some intention of testing, probably to verify whether Chen Zhu was lying.
"I only bought one stock, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation."
Chen Zhu said calmly: "The principal is about 100,000 yuan, which is the red envelope from college admission plus some new year's money from previous years. Now the amount in the account has increased to more than 1.1 million yuan."
Chen Zhu didn't talk about borrowing money, it would affect his image.
Even if economics professors like Shu Yuan and Xu Qingcheng do not do it to make money but to study the development laws of the domestic financial market, they still trade in stocks.
It's just a matter of investing more and investing less, but they all know the stock market trends very well.
As soon as Chen Zhu said the name "China Shipbuilding", they immediately knew about this miracle stock that had increased hundreds of times.
"Most people put their eggs in different baskets when investing in stocks."
Shu Yuan said with emotion: "Only young people will decide that they will never leave their hands after buying a stock."
Chen Zhu smiled, lowered his head and looked at his toes without saying anything.
He now seems to be talking about the development of the website, but in fact he is silently selling himself.
Let your abilities, potential, creativity and courage be displayed in front of Dean Shu.
"In addition to advertising, since it is close to the winter vacation, I plan to go to various universities in Guangzhou to distribute flyers."
Chen Zhu added: "Let these students on vacation, with the dream of making up extra classes during the winter vacation to earn pocket money, go back to their hometowns and help promote the website spontaneously."
"This method is quite good."
Shu Yuan agreed: "It doesn't cost money and it will be very effective. However, the main market for this kind of website is still first- and second-tier cities. Reducing the burden in small cities has no effect. Teachers should make up for private lessons or make up for them. You can't steal those teachers."
"
Chen Zhu also agrees with this. In Guangzhou alone, there are hundreds of thousands of junior high school students and high school students.
"In fact, in addition to first- and second-tier cities, it is best to have university towns."
Chen Zhu took a sip of purified water, moistened his throat and said: "Parents still hope that college students or graduate students will come to make up lessons. For those students who have graduated, if I were a parent, my first reaction would be that they might forget their book knowledge after leaving campus.
Already."
Shu Yuan nodded slightly. Chen Zhu had a clear positioning and market understanding of the product and website. For an entrepreneur, being able to avoid blindly fantasizing about the future is already half the battle.
"But the name of your website..."
Dean Shu suddenly remembered this matter and said helplessly: "Are you really not afraid of infringement?"
"At that time, I also thought about what I would do if I was ordered to change my name."
Chen Zhu said honestly.
"What are you going to do?"
Shu Yuan watched with great interest this young student who started a business and traded in stocks. He looked gentle and elegant but was actually quite courageous.
"emmm..."
Chen Zhu replied shyly: "I plan to change it to the Chinese Workers' Learning Network."
Huatong University and Zhongda University are two 985 universities in Guangzhou. Zhonghua University is naturally ranked first, but Huatong University has been struggling to catch up.
Sure enough, Dean Shu's face darkened after hearing this, and he wanted to start a business with a direct student of CUHK, and ended up using "Hua Gong Learning Network" as the name of the product.
What will others think of us if word gets out?
Do you think we are so small-minded that we don’t even use the names of our own students?
"Forget it, let me help you explain this to the school leaders."
Shu Yuan naturally guessed Chen Zhu's intention, waved his hand and refused to argue with him, and instead asked seriously: "Are there any substantial difficulties in the subsequent development plan?"
Dean Shu may have asked casually just for routine concern. Leaders like to talk like this, but Chen Zhu would not let go of this opportunity.
"have!"
Chen Zhu raised his head, his eyes bright and clear.
