Chapter 125 Marketing
On this day, a college student from an auditing college was walking to the cafeteria when a girl wearing glasses, who looked gentle and quiet, stood with her hands behind her back, looking shy, and stared intently at him.
Huh? Could it be? That kind of story is finally going to happen to me?
A college student approached and asked, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
The girl shyly pulled a flyer from behind her back and stuffed it into his hand: "Excuse me, our college just launched a student entrepreneurship project. Would you like to check it out?"
"Uh... okay." The college student took the flyer with a disappointed look, and after leaving the girl's sight, he casually threw it into the trash can by the roadside.
At this moment, Lu Xiuyang walked over and started talking to the girl who had just been handing out flyers.
"Sister Wenxue, how's the situation?"
The literature-loving girl's full name is Wen Xin. When she saw the junior coming over, she stuck out her tongue slightly and said with a smile, "I just finished handing out the last flyer. I hope it had some effect."
Lu Xiuyang nodded: "That's good. The conversion rate of distributing flyers is actually very limited. However, as long as some of them can download our application, I will naturally have other ways to keep it circulating among the students."
"Hmm, I hope so. I believe you'll definitely find a way," Wenxin smiled, then continued, "By the way, junior, you've been working pretty hard these past few days. How about I treat you to a bubble tea shop for a drink and a short break?"
Lu Xiuyang glanced at Wen Xin, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head in refusal.
"Alright, senior, I have some urgent business to attend to. You should get some rest. I'll be relying on you for the next while."
"Hmm... okay, then take care of yourself. You're in charge of the whole work right now. If you get sick, there's really no one else who can take over your responsibilities," Wenxin said with concern.
"Yes, I know," Lu Xiuyang nodded, said goodbye again, and walked away, leaving Wen Xin behind, watching him leave with a meaningful look and a soft sigh.
Just then, the alarm bell rang for class in the teaching building. As usual, a female student found a seat in the back row of the classroom. Just as she stuffed her schoolbag into her desk, she saw a flyer placed inside.
I took it out and saw it was an introduction to a mobile app. You can buy snacks and fruit without leaving your dorm? Download the "Buy Fries Now" app and give it a try!
The bottom right corner features a black and white snowflake square frame; scan the QR code with your phone to download.
At that time, QR codes had just become popular, and even for college students, they were still a novelty.
The female student's interest was piqued slightly, so she took out her phone, scanned the QR code, and an installation package was automatically downloaded.
After installation, the app has a pigeon icon. Clicking on it reveals a variety of snacks to choose from, and even feminine hygiene products like sanitary napkins.
"That's quite interesting! Don't I have to go to the supermarket myself? And the price seems a bit cheaper than at the supermarket. I'll try it in the next order."
The female student selected some items and added them to her shopping cart, then discovered a pre-order function to schedule delivery for 7 PM.
That's interesting. I'll probably be watching TV in my dorm tonight, so it's convenient to have it delivered to my dorm. Hmm... I guess I'll buy another bag of potato chips.
Just before 7 p.m., there was a knock on the female student's dormitory door. Upon opening the door, Wen Xin stood there holding a bag and said:
"Your order has arrived, student."
"Oh, okay." The female student was taken aback, but surprisingly punctual. She then took out her wallet and handed over the cash.
"Thank you for using our platform. Do you have any comments or suggestions for us?" Wenxin put the money away and asked with a smile.
The female student frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Since your platform is almost as good as an online shopping platform, I think using cash is a bit inconvenient. It should be like Taobao, where you can pay directly online with Alipay."
"Hmm...that makes sense. I've noted it down and will report it to my superiors." Wenxin nodded and then asked, "Any other suggestions?"
The girl shook her head: "No, that's all."
"Okay, our contact information is on the receipt in the bag. Please feel free to contact us anytime if you have any after-sales issues."
After saying that, Wenxin turned and left to deliver the other orders.
The female student returned to her seat in her dormitory, took out the receipt, and looked at it. Besides the brand logo, product list, and a contact number for after-sales service, it also contained a seven-character poem:
"Let's laugh and talk about how many years we were young."
What do you mean?
The female student suddenly remembered that this platform had just launched and was running some kind of promotional campaign.
I opened the app and looked at it again. Hmm, if you collect four tickets that can be connected to form a complete seven-character poem, you can go to the school's offline service point to redeem a complete set of Harry Potter novels. First come, first served.
Wow, I wouldn't buy it myself, but it's a different story if it's given away for free.
However, according to the platform's rules, the poems on the receipt are a mix of many seven-character poems, and the platform also has backend records, so it's impossible for them to be faked.
Obviously, relying solely on placing orders to collect all four receipts is no different from winning the lottery.
So, after thinking about it, the female student decided to go to other dormitories to visit, hoping to run into other students who had also placed orders on this platform.
The girl in the dorm across the hall saw her coming over with a receipt and asking all sorts of questions, and found it quite amusing: "Yinyin, what are you doing?"
"A new platform went live on campus these past few days. You can buy snacks directly into your dorm and even redeem prizes with this receipt. I'm checking to see if any of you have bought anything."
After asking around, I couldn't find it, but it did pique the interest of a few of my roommates, who decided to download it and give it a try.
I moved to a new dorm and this time I ran into a classmate who had also ordered from the same platform. She bought some fruit to try.
Fruit is a high-profit commodity, but it also spoils easily, so the fruit shops at school sell it at ridiculously high prices. I happened to see that I could buy fruit on this platform at reasonable prices, so I placed an order to try it out.
I was hoping it would be just passable, but the quality turned out to be quite good, and it was much cheaper than a fruit store. Plus, it was delivered right to my dorm room door. This shopping experience was simply amazing.
Of course, she also saw the poem on the receipt and the promotional activities for the new platform.
Her poem reads: "I've measured the entire path of life with a ruler."
It doesn't look like a line from a poem at all.
Now she understood that collecting all of them was quite difficult.
"Damn it, are they putting on a show?" she said angrily, and handed the receipt to someone else.
The person who received the receipt found it interesting, so they downloaded the app to try it out, only to find it contained another poem they couldn't understand at all.
…………
Several days later, someone offered a large sum of money for a single line of poetry on the school's confession wall, and I had already collected all three lines.
Since ancient times, confessions of love have mostly been unsuccessful.
Love letters have always been difficult to express feelings.
I don't know the third sentence.
The last sentence is: "Often talk about life with strangers."
The female student thought the face looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, she realized that her own joke about how many years she had spent in her youth fit perfectly into the picture.
I just got in touch with the other party when I realized I had lost the receipt...
No problem, the other party reminded me that the order and the poem correspond one-to-one. I opened the app, found the corresponding order, and sent it to the person.
The other person originally wanted to send a red envelope to express their gratitude, but she thought about it and didn't accept it. After all, the other person must have put in much more effort than she had to collect all three lines of poetry.
Finally, the students who had collected a complete poem arrived at the 100% French Fries service point at the School of Auditing, which was the newly renovated warehouse, where Lu Xiuyang was busy working.
"Hey, I've collected a whole poem. Can I exchange it for a whole novel?"
Lu Xiuyang took the receipt, checked it against the back office staff, confirmed it was correct, nodded, and said, "Yes."
"Then I want Harry Potter!"
Lu Xiuyang scratched his head awkwardly: "Sorry, classmate, Harry Potter has already been replaced by another poem."
"Ah, someone is faster than me!" The student sighed regretfully.
"However, we also have a few other novels prepared here; you can choose one."
"Oh? What else?" A glimmer of light returned to the classmate's dim eyes. It was better to settle for something else than nothing.
"Yeah, there's also a set of 'The Three-Body Problem,' a set of 'Dragon Raja,' a set of 'Tiny Times,' and stuff like that."
Finally, the student chose a copy of "The Three-Body Problem".
"Hey student, could you please post something on the school forum to prove that our event is completely real and valid?"
"Okay, okay."
In just half a month, all the novels Lu Xiuyang had prepared were redeemed, not a single one left. Some people questioned whether it was a hoax, but the posts on the forum didn't seem to be faked by paid trolls, so their authenticity was extremely high. He could only blame himself for being too slow.
Regardless, the "Zhengdian Fries" platform gained considerable popularity when it was first launched at the Auditing Institute.
