Chapter 124 Plan
A few days later, when Chen Che and Xu Zhen drove their Wuling van to the School of Auditing with a truckload of snacks and fast-moving consumer goods such as instant noodles, sausages, and Laoda iced tea, Lu Xiuyang had already cleaned up the warehouse.
Compared to the engineering school's incubator, it's certainly much simpler, but it's still barely adequate.
However, a significant drawback is the lack of air conditioning. As students, they cannot install it on their own, so they don't have the same good storage conditions as the incubator, which can store perishable items like fruit that need to be kept fresh.
After loading and unloading the goods, the three of them took a break to drink water and chatted about Lu Xiuyang's specific promotion strategies at the School of Auditing.
They had already discussed this before. The School of Auditing has a lot of female students, which is the opposite of the School of Engineering.
In terms of manpower, the dormitory building leaders and the staff responsible for campus promotion will definitely be mostly female, so he will need to find the right candidates himself.
In addition, we definitely need to consider marketing and promotion strategies that are suitable for girls.
"How's it going, Xiu Yang? How's the personnel organization? When can we officially get started at the earliest?" Chen Che asked.
"As for the candidates, I've already made my selections. I have a senior from the literature club with whom I have a pretty good relationship. She also happens to be looking to make some money and gain some marketing and promotion experience through practical experience, so I brought her on board."
"Hmm, that's pretty good." Chen Che nodded in satisfaction.
Despite the seemingly excellent situation, Xu Zhen sighed inappropriately.
"What's wrong, Brother Xu?" Lu Xiuyang glanced at him and asked, puzzled.
"Is your senior the quiet, thin type who wears glasses?" Xu Zhen suddenly asked out of the blue.
"Uh, more or less, do you know him?" Lu Xiuyang was taken aback and answered subconsciously.
These people are really interesting; they always like to inexplicably insert a completely unrelated topic, but I don't dislike it myself.
"Of course I don't know him. Come to think of it, I'm about to graduate, and this is my first time visiting the School of Auditing."
"I'm so envious, I wish I had a senior like that too~" Xu Zhen covered her eyes with a dejected look.
"Uh..." Lu Xiuyang didn't know how to respond.
"Never mind him, that's just how he is. He tends to go crazy when he's with people he knows well." Chen Che glanced at Xu Zhen with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Chen Che withdrew his gaze, his eyes darting around, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Perfect timing, I also wanted to ask you a question."
Are you and this senior student in a romantic relationship?
"..."
Lu Xiuyang remained silent for a moment before replying softly, "No."
"Does this have anything to do with how I run and promote hourly fries at the auditing school?"
"Yes, that's a very important matter," Chen Che said earnestly.
"If you two are a couple, boyfriend and girlfriend, and also colleagues, then sooner or later all the work will fall on your shoulders. You'll be making the PPTs, writing the reports, and working overtime."
"This...it shouldn't be that bad," Lu Xiuyang said hesitantly.
"Whether it's serious or not is not important, that's secondary," Chen Che continued, "What if you two break up? You'll still run into each other all the time, how can you work together? If two capable people leave at once, how can we make our project bigger and stronger?"
"So you guys really aren't?" Chen Che asked again.
"No, it really isn't." Lu Xiuyang nodded seriously.
"Okay, so what are your specific ideas for promotion?"
Speaking of this, Lu Xiuyang pushed up his glasses, took out his phone, opened the "Fries at a Glance" app, and began to share his thoughts.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Xu, I think our delivery model can be further optimized, which requires the app to support the corresponding functions."
"Oh? How so?" the two asked curiously.
Seeing that the two were listening intently to him, Lu Xiuyang slowly began to speak:
"As you two probably know, most guys are usually focused and won't just randomly browse through the 'Fries at the Hour' app. They only click in when they need something, then quickly select their items and place an order."
"But girls are different. They might just click on the app to browse even when they don't need it, add things they want to their cart, and buy them later. But just adding things to the cart isn't enough; we also need to make sure the order is completed."
"Therefore, I would like to add a pre-order function so that customers can place orders in advance and delay delivery."
"And there's another advantage to it."
Lu Xiuyang paused, looking at the two of them.
"What is it?" Xu Zhen asked.
"Although there are no storage facilities here, the pre-order function allows fruit products to be dispatched from the industrial park in advance."
"For example, if an order is placed before noon and needs to be delivered in the evening, the goods can be transferred from the incubation park in the afternoon. Also, because of physiological reasons, girls sometimes cannot eat cold food, so this can help to dispel the cold and keep the food fresh."
Xu Zhen's eyes lit up: "Brilliant! Xiu Yang, you've really found the right person for the campus manager position. This is what you call adapting to local conditions!"
After speaking, he looked at Chen Che beside him and asked, "Junior, what do you think?"
Chen Che nodded in agreement: "I had actually thought of this plan before, but it wasn't my focus then. Now that the timing is right, let's put it into practice."
"I'll go talk to Cai Chong about this when I get back. Our foundation is in very good shape right now, and as long as we don't default on payments, I'm sure they won't refuse."
Seeing that his idea was so well received, Lu Xiuyang also proposed another promotion plan, pointing to a stack of books in the corner.
"These are secondhand books I bought from the school forum, and they're still unopened."
Chen Che leaned over to take a look and exclaimed, "Wow, it's a complete set of Harry Potter!"
"I'm considering launching a promotion where customers can redeem prizes using receipts right after the event starts."
Lu Xiuyang explained in more detail that it was not complicated at all. It was just the same kind of point-collecting and prize-exchanging scheme that was very common in elementary school, like the small shops across from schools. It was just packaged and changed to a more suitable form for the present.
Most girls are more emotional, so we used some emotional and poetic elements as gimmicks, and then incorporated some clever ideas from my literature background, which resulted in the current plan.
Originally, I wanted to ask for their opinions, but Chen Che and Xu Zhen nodded repeatedly after listening, indicating their approval without needing to change a single word.
"However, you're using books you bought yourself as prizes, which is a huge loss for you," Chen Che said with a smile. "How about this, you buy a few more different sets, and I'll reimburse you for the cost."
Lu Xiuyang was a little embarrassed: "This isn't really okay."
Chen Che waved his hand: "What's this? As long as we can achieve results, this little bit of investment is nothing."
