Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?
Chapter 283: The Essence of Travel is WorkTL: Etude Translations
In fact, Su Nai and the others were not off the mark in their discussion in the QQ group last night. Jiang Qin’s purpose in taking them out this time was indeed not merely for leisure, but rather for scouting the environment for subsequent promotions.
After leaving Linchuan, Jiang Qin’s primary target was naturally the first-tier cities with more resources.
By establishing a presence in first-tier cities, Jiang Qin could access more valuable information and seek more solid cooperative relationships. Subsequently, quickly moving down to second and third-tier cities would provide more assistance.
However, city-to-city promotion is not something that can be achieved through mere imagination. It requires deciding where to start, identifying the right entry point, adapting strategies to the local market, and understanding the differences in the business atmosphere and operational models around university towns through on-site experience.
Although the promotion task was executed by the Business and Publicity Departments, in reality, the direction was still controlled by the few managers of Team 208.
As the leader of the small team, Jiang Qin didn’t want everyone to walk blindly.
Working adults have time to stay long-term in the promotional areas, but university students lose the opportunity to visit once classes begin. Therefore, the summer vacation is an excellent time to explore the market.
This is the mastery of time management.
More precisely, it should be called the master of employees’ time management! As a good boss, you must learn to efficiently manage your employees’ leisure time; otherwise, when would you ever get rich?Jiang Qin entered the hotel room, put down his luggage, and then headed to the next room, planning to check in with his family along with Feng Nanshu.
“Brother, hug.”
As Feng Nanshu flipped through her phone contacts, she pushed Jiang Qin onto the bed. With a light kick of her little leather shoes, she dove into his embrace without a word.
This swift and fluid action caught Jiang Qin off guard only when Feng Nanshu’s round bottom settled on his lap.
“Why don’t you let me hug you at home?”
“Shy.”
Feng Nanshu blushed and replied before dialing the phone: “Hello, Auntie, we’ve arrived.”
Yuan Youqin, worried about their safety, immediately felt relieved upon hearing this: “Since you’re out for fun, enjoy yourself. Wherever you want to go, ask Jiang Qin to take you. If he doesn’t, call and complain to me.” ŔäNÖ฿ĘŠ
“Okay!”
“Alright, you guys rest up. Auntie is off to work.”
After hanging up, Feng Nanshu nestled in Jiang Qin’s arms, unwilling to move, and casually turned on the TV in the room. She kept changing channels, seeming in no hurry to leave.
Jiang Qin had no choice but to hold her, keeping the fragrant and soft girl in his arms to prevent her from falling, and silently watched TV for about an hour.
Putting aside reality, such solid and strong friendship could probably only be compared to the legend of Yu Boya breaking his zither in gratitude to his understanding friend, Zhong Ziqi.
Lost in thought, Jiang Qin suddenly felt a small hand sliding down between them, reaching a position just below his abdomen. Startled, he quickly caught the mischievous hand.
“Feng Nanshu, what are you trying to do?”
“I want to see your second phone.”
“That phone contains business secrets; no one is allowed to see it.”
“Brother, let me see.”
“Absolutely not, even if you call me ‘dad’, I can’t let you!”
“…”
At around five in the afternoon, the last to arrive, Lu Feiyu, checked in. After resting for half an hour, Wei Lanlan gathered everyone in Jiang Qin’s room.
However, before arriving, everyone had a small meeting in the hallway, speculating about the boss’s plans.
What percentage of this trip, supposedly for tourism, would actually be for leisure?
Based on their understanding of the boss and analysis of his usual behavior patterns, everyone felt that there might not even be a chance to visit the gates of the Forbidden City during these three days. Damn it, the boss is too cunning!
“Hm? Why are you standing at the door not coming in?”
At this moment, Jiang Qin came out of Feng Nanshu’s room, looking at them somewhat puzzled.
Dong Wenhao coughed: “We were worried that the boss lady might be inside, so we were going to knock first. We didn’t expect you to be in her room.”
Jiang Qin nodded, counting the number of people with his eyes: “Everyone’s here, right? I’ve been waiting all afternoon. I guess everyone’s hungry. Let’s find a place to eat first. We can discuss the upcoming travel plans and enjoyment strategies while eating.”
“Let’s eat roast duck!”
“With so many of us, we’d have to split into several tables to eat roast duck. Besides, there are plenty of chances to eat that. Let’s go for copper pot shabu-shabu today.”
Eating roast duck is too troublesome; it requires too much fiddling and rolling, and it’s unsatisfying and time-consuming. It also lacks the right atmosphere, not suitable for eating while discussing tasks.
It has to be steaming copper pot shabu-shabu, accompanied by sesame paste and special fried chili oil. While listening to task assignments and grabbing slices of meat with chopsticks, nothing is compromised.
So, when Feng Nanshu changed her clothes, a group of more than ten people left the hotel and walked towards the brightly lit area. Following the route they had looked up online, they arrived at a renowned old capital copper pot shabu-shabu restaurant called “Front Row, Back Row.”
With expenses covered by the company, Su Nai and Lu Feiyu didn’t hold back at all, going all out in their orders.
Soon, the copper pot boiled over the charcoal fire, slices of various meats were put in, and Jiang Qin took advantage of everyone starting to eat to calmly begin assigning the travel tasks.
“There are two nationally renowned universities nearby, directly opposite each other. Tomorrow’s travel operation will be divided into two groups. Myself, Su Nai, and Wei Lanlan in one group, Tan Qing and Dong Wenhao in another, with the rest of you dividing yourselves.”
“Our purpose for this trip is to understand the commercial streets inside these two universities and to figure out the entry points for later promotions.”
“Remember, these entry points are not just for Zhihu’s promotion, but can also be analyzed from the perspective of group buying. Since the group buying will also follow Zhihu’s steps in ground promotion later, you need to make two sets of records.”
“Besides, you need to understand the prices, rent, and profits inside the campus, and talk more with the merchants.”
“Another thing is to conduct a questionnaire survey targeting the merchant group. The questionnaire includes views on online shopping, home delivery opinions, and I have already prepared the questionnaire. Just print it out and distribute it tomorrow.”
Hearing this, everyone held their breath.
Boss, boss, is this what you call tourism? What kind of tourism is this?
With so much work to do in three days, even Camel Xiangzi would be overwhelmed.
“Boss, do you have any morals?”
“Whether I have morals or not is not important, as long as you guys have them. Here, let me serve our treasure, female programmer Su Nai, some meat.”
Jiang Qin put some meat in Su Nai’s bowl: “Eat more, so you have energy for tomorrow’s ‘tourism.’”
Lu Feiyu held up his bowl: “Boss, me too!”
“Alright, here’s some meat for you too. Anyone else?”
Feng Nanshu tugged at Jiang Qin’s sleeve: “Me too, I want some.”
Jiang Qin also served her a piece of meat: “Let’s work efficiently tomorrow, and as soon as the work is done, the rest of the time is for fun. I’m excited just thinking about it. I can take you to see the flag-raising, visit the Forbidden City, Wangfujing, and if we have time, maybe even climb the Great Wall at Badaling!”
Dong Wenhao pursed his lips: “Climbing the Great Wall requires a long bus ride, boss. Let’s go to the Olympic Park instead. I want to see the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube.”
“Okay, as long as the work is done well, you can go wherever you want. Let’s go, comrades. I’ll scoop up some meat first, help yourselves.”
As Jiang Qin spoke, he scooped up the freshly cooked meat slices with a strainer, leaving behind only a few slices of ginger and a pile of Sichuan peppercorns.
An hour later, when everyone had almost finished eating, they headed back to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow’s “tourism.”
Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing went to borrow the hotel’s printer to print the survey questionnaires, while others started planning tomorrow’s activities.
Lu Feiyu raised his hand: “I think few people would be willing to seriously fill out the questionnaire. If they fill it out carelessly, it might affect our judgment. Should we offer some money as a reward?”
Jiang Qin nodded: “Feiyu’s idea is good, money is the primary motivator.”
Dong Wenhao also spoke up: “Boss, I have an idea too. Both schools are huge. We are unfamiliar with the place and might waste time. Should we hire a student who stayed at school to be our guide?”
“Sure, you handle it.”
“Okay, I’ll go check their school’s BBS.”
Jiang Qin smiled at these two young men full of ideas.
Why did he like using university students as core employees? Because after dinner on a business trip, they wouldn’t clamor to find a place to get a foot massage. Such a simple quality, truly touching.
Soon, Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing returned with a stack of questionnaires. Jiang Qin had them familiarize themselves with the questions and then dismissed the meeting.
With a tight schedule and heavy tasks tomorrow, it was essential to rest well.
Thus, everyone gradually left Jiang Qin’s room until only he and Feng Nanshu remained.
“Little rich lady, it’s time to go back to sleep.”
“I want to watch TV a bit longer.”
“And then accidentally fall asleep while watching, right?”
Feng Nanshu’s eyelashes trembled slightly, thinking the big bear was getting smarter and harder to deceive. She put down the remote control and got off the bed: “Then I’ll go back to sleep.”
Jiang Qin sighed, thinking Feng Nanshu seemed to be getting smarter and even a bit mischievous.
