“Building a group is more difficult than Zhihu because there are too many sections and functions. My newly recruited team has about six people. It will take more than a month to realize all the functions in the plan.”
Jiang Qin nodded, feeling that a month was not too long.
The school beauty competition of Linchuan University of Science and Technology is just starting. It will take about a month from warm-up to end, and the node is just in time.
“Then just go ahead and do it. You don’t need to worry about anything else. If anything happens, just call Wei Lanlan. She is now working as my secretary part-time. I have already explained everything. Your side is the priority in everything.”
“Okay boss!”
Jiang Qin patted Sunai on the shoulder, walked to the window and stretched.
Group-building is the next monetization tool he will launch, and it is also the second big step and important attempt in the entrepreneurial stage. The source of inspiration is of course Ye Ziqing.
Professor Yan has been wondering recently why Jiang Qin didn’t come to inquire about the “entrepreneurial failure”. In fact, it was because Jiang Qin read the school newspaper all afternoon and almost understood the cause and effect.
Ye Ziqing is the unfortunate student mentioned by Professor Yan. Like Jiang Qin, he has been causing trouble in the school since his freshman year.
In fact, her starting carrier was not the Internet. Instead, she used classes and dormitories as units and QQ groups as tools to gather college students, organize lists according to what they needed to buy, and cooperated with nearby merchants to enjoy large-quantity discounts. Disguised promotion, the merchant takes a commission.
Later, as her downlines grew and her group buying groups increased, problems began to arise.
Because people are needed to manage statistics, and people are also needed to negotiate prices for purchases. Not only are costs rising rapidly, but the future development direction is also severely restricted.
To this end, Ye Ziqing simply created a website that allows college students to choose the products they want to buy, select the products with the highest purchase rate, and then send dedicated people to pick up the goods.
But the problem is that Ye Ziqing’s step undoubtedly turned himself into an intermediary.
The only result of being an intermediary is that neither side will be pleased.
In the end, Ye Ziqing found that the team was becoming more and more difficult to manage, and more and more part-time college students were being recruited. Everyone was crowded together, which became a huge burden for Jiuhui Group Buying Network.
But Ye Ziqing refused to admit defeat, and since his family conditions were very good, he began to burn money and planned to break the shackles.
Jiang Qin didn’t know what happened next, but it must have become harder and harder, and he went slower and slower, and finally he became obsolete.
Positioning yourself as a commodity intermediary and finding sellers based on user needs is a development method that can indeed achieve immediate results in a small area, but the restrictions are also very firm.
If Ye Ziqing could stop and think carefully, reluctantly let go of the burden of the team, and change his thinking, he might not have ended up in a mess in the end.
But you can’t judge what she did at the time from a future perspective.
Because at that time, most people who participated in group buying groups had similar ideas. Ye Ziqing was just rushing to get on the shelves. In the end, relying on his solid foundation, he accidentally went to the dark side.
“They are all the tears of the times.”
“I’m different. I’m a bug of the times.”
