Chapter 154: The Lady Boss Buys, Buys, Buys
TL: Etude
Lets go, its delivery time. Lets go out and take a look.
Jiang Qin returned from the entrance of the Entrepreneurship Center, waving to the office. Everyone in Room 208 immediately put on their coats and walked to Academy Road with umbrellas in hand.
Witnessing the deliverymen with little yellow hats entering the school was a romance unique to them in Room 208.
As everyone gradually left, Cao Xinyue, Hong Yan, and Tang Lin couldnt help but follow, treading on the soft snowy ground and heading north.
The snowfall had lessened by then. The branches, rooftops, and roads were all covered in a layer of silver. On the small path through the woods, there were shallow, covered plum blossom footprints.
The cold wind blew against their faces, but it couldnt dampen their excitement at all.
Look, there are so many people over there.
Passing by the dormitory area, Wen Jinrui suddenly raised his hand and pointed towards what seemed to be a female dormitory of the Medical Department.
Indeed, many people were gathered at the dormitory entrance, each holding a phone, waiting.
It was their first time ordering online. Some were worried about being tricked, others were curious about group buying, and some were just there for the excitement. All of them were crowded at the entrance, waiting.
Lu Xuemei had already adjusted her camera settings, aiming the lens towards the school gate, ready to capture the moment.
As time ticked by, everyone grew a bit anxious. Suddenly, a splash of bright yellow appeared at the school gate, followed by two, three
Finally, more than twenty group-buying deliverymen on tricycles slowly came into view.
The scene was like a moving line of yellow in the snowy day, spreading from the main entrance of Academy Road in all directions.
This is really thrilling, Su Nai couldnt help but clench her fists.
Jiang Qin turned to look at Lu Xuemei, Xuemei, quick, take pictures. Use the skills you used to sneak photos of me. I want to use these photos for the projects promotional brochure.
When did I ever sneak photos of you? Lu Xuemei questioned while pressing the shutter.
Didnt you sneak photos of me climbing the marriage tree? If you dont take good pictures today, Ill hang you on the marriage tree.
Jiang Qin said cheerfully, continuing to enjoy the sight of the deliverymen riding tricycles into the school. It somehow reminded him of the opening scene of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, where countless people were distributing flyers on little red bikes.
Such scenes filled an entrepreneur with deep satisfaction.
Whats going on downstairs? Are they volunteers clearing snow?
No, Director, it seems to be Jiang Qin from our department. He recently set up a group-buying website. You can order online and have it delivered directly to the dormitory. Those are his deliverymen.
Wow, thats quite a scene. This Jiang Qin quite interesting
The director of the academic office of the Finance Department watched from the window, noticing how the group of little yellow hats on the pure white snow moved like ants. As they passed each crossroad, one to three people would leave the group. Although it wasnt a rehearsed performance, there was an orderly beauty to it.
The surrounding teachers also gathered around, marveling at the scene.
They still vividly remembered the large billboards from the campus beauty contest and were surprised that Jiang Qin had managed to pull off another big event in such a short time.
Soon, the deliverymen in little yellow hats had all dispersed, leaving the main road and entering the dormitory paths.
Seeing this, whether they had ordered something or were just there for the fun, everyone stepped forward a few steps, standing below the steps of the dormitory entrance.
Here they come, is it the group-buying?
Definitely, doesnt it say so on the hats?
I ordered a quilt this morning, oh wow, Ill be cozy in my dorm now!
Damn, its really delivered right to the pedestrian street, without taking a single step?
The key is its cheaper. I bought slippers at the supermarket on the pedestrian street last time, twelve yuan a pair. After the discount on the group-buying website, its only nine yuan, saving three yuan!
Look, why is that little yellow hat pedaling so slowly?
Hearing this, everyone looked up and saw that indeed, one of the deliverymen on a tricycle had been left far behind by the others.
This wasnt due to a lack of enthusiasm on his part. Rather, for some reason, his load was exceptionally large, mostly comprising orders from the girls dormitory of the Finance Department. He was effectively doing the work of three.
Damn, this cant go on.
He decided that after today, he must suggest to his superiors that he be assigned a different area.
I need to buy a little more
Feng Nanshu, dressed in a white down jacket, stood at the bottom of her dormitory. Her pure and stunning face was nestled in the thick fur collar of her hood, her eyes clear and bright. She exhaled misty breaths while tapping on her phone.
Her slender fingers, red from the cold, did not hinder her from adding items to her shopping cart.
Feng Nanshu, I know the group buying is Jiang Qins venture, but you cant keep buying. Our dorm doesnt have any more space.
Gao Wenhui sneakily reached out from behind and swiftly snatched the phone, eliciting a puzzled look.
Wenhui, give me back my phone. Ill stop after one more purchase.
The little rich lady had been up since six in the morning, huddled in a corner with her phone, quietly supporting Jiang Qin by frantically buying as soon as the group buying started.
To Gao Wenhui, this behavior was cute, but their dorm room was only so big and couldnt accommodate much more.
Didnt Jiang Qin use a word for this? Squandering. Right, if you squander any more, Ill complain to him.
Feng Nanshu looked up with an aloof expression: Im not afraid of him.
And what if he stops hanging out with you, stops holding your hand, and forbids people from calling you boss lady?
Struck as if by lightning, Feng Nanshus mouth hung open, with wisps of breath escaping.
At that moment, Gao Wenhui heard a buzzing sound and saw a call coming to Feng Nanshus phone, displayed as Handsome Bear Stealing Honey from Trees.
Ah, sweetness everywhere.
That must be Feng Nanshus favorite image.
Theres a call, your husbands. Gao Wenhui handed the phone over.
Feng Nanshu spoke coldly: Jiang Qin, Im hungry. Take me to lunch.
Jiang Qins voice came through the phone: Lets not talk about lunch for now. Why did you buy so much?
How do you know?
I can see your phone number in the backend!
Feng Nanshu glanced to the right and whispered, Those were all bought by Gao Wenhui.
Jiang Qin didnt expose her lie: Whoever it is, stop buying. Im running a discount promotion, and the more you buy, the more I lose!
Then, then I wont buy anymore.
Dont spend blindly, little rich lady. Why is there an electric shaver in the order? What are you planning, shaving your legs?
Feng Nanshu was dumbfounded for a moment, her gaze vacant, thinking that Jiang Qin indeed preferred legs over feet.
At 12:30 pm, all the goods had been delivered to the dormitories. The dormitory supervisors officially went online, starting to distribute the orders according to pickup numbers, and collected money to close the transactions.
This process wasnt complicated or highly technical; it just required a bit of care to manage.
Moreover, the job of a dormitory supervisor was essentially a leisurely one. They often found themselves idle, so being engaged in checking invoices and distributing goods, while chatting with students and earning some extra money, was not a burden for them.
208, two blankets.
305, two packs of cola and a box of instant noodles.
On the first day of group buying going live, most orders were placed by dormitory units, which eased the distribution workload for the supervisors.
Of course, some clever supervisors simply placed the goods in the management room, letting the students who placed orders pick them up themselves. They would sit on a small stool at the door, taking money and marking orders as complete earning money while sitting comfortably.
Overall, the first business day of the group buying encountered no significant obstacles and went smoothly.
Half an hour later, Tan Qing, leading the marketing team, arrived to collect the payments and check the order completion status, ensuring there were no missing or unfulfilled orders.
Fortunately, most consumers were experiencing online shopping for the first time and were enthusiastic. They eagerly waited downstairs for their goods and made payments promptly, with no cases of missing or unfulfilled orders.
But the amount spent by the boss lady was astonishing.
Over five hundred thats like a college students monthly living expenses! Tan Qing couldnt help but marvel at the bills.
It was rumored in Room 208 that the boss lady was a little rich lady, and this seemed to confirm it.
Truly a little angel who spent money without blinking.
Tan Qing collected the invoices and returned to Room 208, immediately starting to reconcile the accounts with Xu Yu, who was responsible for accounting. They checked the order data and the cash, finally compiling everything together.
Boss, the total amount collected for the first batch is 6850.5.
How much did we lose?
We lost 1078 yuan.
Jiang Qin nodded. The first days promotion was aimed at increasing registration and user experience. Discounts were a must. Although the college supermarket and pedestrian street supplied goods at cost price, the red packets and wages for the deliverymen, plus the commission for the dorm supervisors, were all net losses.
Moreover, the wages for the staff of Room 208 hadnt been included yet.
But for Jiang Qin, this amount of loss was trivial. He could withstand a few more such promotions.
Everyone get ready for the orders tonight. There are a lot of people observing right now, but with the first batch of customers setting an example, the order volume will definitely increase. We might have a small peak tonight.
Okay, boss.
Wen Hao, Fei Yu, open a special thread on the forum and invite everyone to share their group buying experiences. Gather some feedback for improvements. The rest of you, as usual, go praise the service in the thread.
Got it, boss.
As Jiang Qin finished speaking, everyone in Room 208 sprang into action, filling the office once again with the clatter of keyboards.
