Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Strike while the snake is down
In the large lecture hall, with Feng Yiping at the centre, the circle of people became quieter and quieter, and more and more students opened their mouths in surprise.
Most of the university students have not yet earned a single penny, but they all think that they will definitely have a bright future. Therefore, they often don't care about money or the rich.
This is especially true of students in the finance department, who learn about classic cases involving sums of money, most of which are in US dollars. Hundreds of millions and even billions are commonplace. This mentality is inevitably brought into their lives, and over time, they lose their awe of money.
Of course, when the end of the month comes and their living expenses are at rock bottom, or when their girlfriend is reluctant to part with the money for an item of clothing that they cannot afford, they still have a little respect for money.
But after a while, they will still be pontificating and fulminating, despising the current rich, and looking down their noses at all the nouveau riche who flaunt their wealth. Just you wait, they say, when I graduate and I seize an opportunity, I will leave you all behind.
But now, one of my classmates has already achieved this, turning the dreams of many people into reality. How can they not be surprised?
Gao Heng, who was sitting across from him, swallowed hard, thinking of the beginning but not the end.
He was actually considered a good young person who was both dedicated and talented. He had also had a smooth ride so far, and had received a lot of praise and admiration from the adults and peers around him, so it was inevitable that he would become a bit arrogant.
From yesterday to today, these reactions and actions, in the same situation, many people would do the same thing, competitive and aggressive, isn't that how everyone was when they were young?
He thought that his actions were harmless, they were all classmates, what's the big deal about joking around like that?
He also thought he had found Feng Yiping's weak point. Just like Chen Laoshi, the subsequent articles in the magazine were all good articles, and there was nothing wrong with them from a literary point of view. However, Feng Yiping's experience was his weak point. It was like a twelve-year-old publishing a lot of articles on marital advice. No matter how good and reasonable those articles were, as long as his age was pointed out, they would all be reduced to jokes.
The same goes for Feng Yiping. The articles he writes for the magazine are well written, but when compared to his experience, it is clear that he has no entrepreneurial experience at all. He writes from behind closed doors, or utopian nonsense.
But what he didn't realise was that what he thought was Feng Yiping's weak point was actually where Feng Yiping far surpassed his peers.
Of course, he didn't want to admit defeat and let it go. Feng Yiping's face was raised, and his face would definitely be completely trampled on the ground. 'We are talking about your magazine, and money cannot solve problems,' he had to argue.
You clearly brought it up. Starting a business and making money are big problems, okay?
'Money really can't solve problems. Let me ask you a question. Why is the building of our college called Weilun Building? Why isn't it named after those famous professors or experts?'
Gao Heng's throat was dry again. Of course he knew the origin of the name Weilun Building: it was composed of one character from the name of each of the donor couple.
'Relying on the protection of one's parents is nothing.'
'Relying on your parents is indeed nothing, but that is also your personal fortune. Besides, my parents are also very ordinary people.'
Gao Heng's lips moved, but he couldn't squeeze out any words. Feng Yiping waved at him, and he couldn't help but lean over to listen. 'What you value is worthless in my eyes, but if you inexplicably want to treat me as an opponent, then I will certainly do as you wish and be a worthy opponent.'
'Alright, class is about to start, do you still want to sit here?' Feng Yiping patted his shoulder. Gao Heng had delivered himself up to be abused, and it was still more or less the same now. Feng Yiping felt quite happy.
Gao Heng didn't know how he walked back to his original seat. During the class, he didn't listen to what the teacher said at all, and he didn't care about how his classmates looked at him. Feng Yiping's words kept echoing in his ears: 'Why do I need to find an opponent for myself?'
The teacher also felt that today's class was a bit strange. He noticed that many students in the class would occasionally glance in one direction. That's what was strange. He also glanced in that direction a few times, but there was obviously no very pretty girl there!
'Yiping, do you still have that magazine? Can you give me a copy?' After class, the girl in the front row asked Feng Yiping while she asked her boyfriend to tidy up her bag.
'Yes, give her a copy,' said many of the students around them.
'No problem, I'll bring them tomorrow,' Feng Yiping agreed cheerfully. He could afford to give them to all the dozens of people in the class.
'I didn't know that you owned Jia Convenience Store. I've been there a few times and I have to say, it's really good,' another classmate approached him as they walked towards the door.
"Thanks for your support!'
'Yiping, come here!' Feng Yiping and a group of classmates walked to the first floor, and Teacher Chen happened to be passing by after class and saw him in the group of people, so he waved at him.
'Hello, Teacher Chen, are you going to take me to visit the other teachers?'
Teacher Chen laughed when he heard this, 'You really aren't polite, but I've read your magazine and it's generally okay.'
'Thank you, Teacher!'
'You want your magazine to be distributed in the mainland, right?'
'You're brilliant, Mr Chen!' Feng Yiping gave a thumbs-up. He was personally taking charge of the project. Is this what he's been waiting for?
'And some of the articles are only really interesting to scholars like you,' he said, not without a hint of flattery.
The people who are most interested are of course the companies, but the place that can spread his articles the fastest is of course the school, which is why he wants to promote them there, not just because it's convenient.
'By the way, your article was very good. Is it all finished?
"It's mostly finished, except for some details that need to be improved. It mainly involves some successful case applications that need to be more detailed. I'll serialise it in installments in the future, hoping to attract more target customers.'
Especially in the business world, before many theories are proposed, they are actually already being successfully implemented by others. However, they are not experts or scholars, and although they are aware of the problem, they are unable to refine, improve and elevate it into a complete theoretical system.
There are many such examples. The examples in the original book are basically foreign cases, and those at the magazine who received the assignment needed time to investigate them clearly.
In addition, Feng Yiping wanted to use his own convenience store as a case study. Nowadays, this can also be considered a blue ocean market, and with its excellent operation, it can also be seen as a successful practice of his blue ocean strategy.
Teacher Chen had wanted to ask Feng Yiping to give him a look at the finished article, but after hearing Feng Yiping's words, he didn't want to insist. He would naturally discuss it with others after reading it, and that would indeed have an impact on the distribution of Feng Yiping's magazine.
'This afternoon, you don't have class, and I don't have class either, so I'll take you for a walk.'
'Thank you, teacher, but could you put in a good word for me? Otherwise, I don't think most professors would read it.'
'You shouldn't be in the finance department, you should go to the marketing management or insurance department. With your ability to seize opportunities, you would be good at marketing or selling insurance.'
'I feel the same way, so I've been to the insurance department to listen to many lectures.' Feng Yiping once again seized the opportunity.
