Chapter 59: No Investigation, No Voice
Early the next morning, Wu Tao took An Rong and got on the southbound bus again.
An Rong still leaned on his shoulder and slept quietly. The first love is the most affectionate, and now it is an uncontrolled holiday, even if it is separated for one night, it feels very long.
Wu Tao held the writing board, recorded the scattered information in his mind all the way, and then sorted it out, trying to find the key to the problem.
The water drink sales plan of water dispenser + bottled water can prevail for more than ten years in the previous life, and has reached a market volume of hundreds of billions, which shows that this model can stand the test of the market.
As for why it is so difficult to start now, and several manufacturers are on the verge of bankruptcy, Wu Tao feels that this is not just a question of 'everything is difficult at the beginning'.
Even though the information fed back by Gu Fei became less and less optimistic, he always believed as much as he did at the beginning that this must be the wrong way to open.
As for how it is wrong, he can only think of one for the time being, that is, users feel that drinking water is a high-tech thing, and the recognition of domestic brands is not high.
However, the foreign model of direct drinking water + water purifier is too troublesome.
After all, people are inert, and since they have pretended not to drink boiled water, it is of course the best mode of clothes to reach out and water to open their mouths.
As for spending a lot of money, in the end, you have to fill the water purifier with tap water by yourself, and I feel LOW when I think about it.
What's the difference between this and drinking tap water?!
In addition, whether there are other questions, Wu Tao does not know for the time being.
So he drew up a questionnaire for that.
If there is no investigation, there is no right to speak, and the first time you start a business in your past life and this life, you must do it clearly and steadfastly.
By the time the bus arrived at the Central Gate station, his questionnaire had been drafted.
The two of them got out of the station, walked for about ten minutes, avoided the harassment of scalpers and black cars, and took a taxi straight to Jinling University on Xuefu Road.
I got off the bus at the south gate of Jinda and walked into a medium-sized printing agency.
During the holidays, the business of the printing agency was also a little bleak. Seeing that Wu Tao and the others looked like middle school students, even the boss didn't bother to get up to say hello, and only called an average-looking female college student to come over to greet them.
Wu Tao didn't care, the printing agency in Jinling only has the cheapest and fair price near the university.
This is common sense, small profits but quick turnover.
"Print one copy of this questionnaire and make 2,000 copies!"
"Oh~ah?" The female college student couldn't believe her ears, and even the middle-aged female boss who was playing a card game in the corner heard the sound and came over.
"Make a copy of a dime, print a piece, count you 200 yuan!" the female boss came over in slippers to quote.
"Cheaper, big sister?"
The female boss was unmoved, "You still have to typeset!"
"Okay, I'll come and get it in an hour!" Wu Tao took a deposit of fifty yuan, took the receipt and turned to leave.
Out of the print shop, An Rong was curious: "After playing so many questionnaires, when will I have to investigate?"
Wu Tao didn't speak, and led her swaggering into Jinling University.
Although it is a holiday, there are not many college students in school. However, the bulletin board is still full of all kinds of small advertisements, including some information about job hunting and tutoring.
Wu Tao picked up a few handwritten phones and tore them out, as for why he didn't print the number, because that kind of student agent is more likely.
After making several consecutive calls in the phone booth, after a short exchange, Wu Tao finally decided on two candidates, a man and a woman.
Twenty minutes later, in McDonald's diagonally opposite the South Gate, Wu Tao and An Rong were eating ice cream.
Suddenly, a long-legged girl with shawl hair tilted her head and glanced at Wu Tao and said, "May I ask if you are Boss Wu who called me just now?"
Meeting friends with books, with a bosom friend of the June issue on the table, should be right. The person who came looked puzzled, but after reading the entire McDonald's, there was no second bosom friend.
Wu Tao didn't take a bite of ice cream and swallowed it in shock.
The person who came was a young Kim University female student, with a small V-neck T-shirt that couldn't cover the plump outline of her chest. made him think of Zhao Li suddenly, and he didn't know if this old tablemate was really engaged?
It seems that after this busy period, I really have to go back and inquire.
Seeing him hesitating, the female student muttered, "Is it a little kid calling me to tease me?"
"Are you Qin Xiaoxiao?"
"I am, are you really Wu ......?" confirmed again, Qin Xiaoxiao faced the middle school student in front of her, and the word boss couldn't be called anyway.
"With all due respect, aren't you really making fun of me?"
Wu Tao's answer was also straightforward and vicious, "I have a girlfriend, do I still need you to be bored?"
"Okay!" Qin Xiaoxiao saw An Rong's appearance, and sat down without saying a word.
Not long after, another male student, Sun Hao, came to him.
Wu Tao conducted a brief interview with them and then decided to hire them.
"The subjects of my survey this time are white-collar workers in enterprises and institutions, government agencies, foreign-funded or joint ventures with generous benefits. Each of you will receive 1,000 questionnaires, 3 cents for each valid questionnaire, and submit the questionnaire and results to the Xuanwu Hotel within five days, and report my name at the front desk. ”
Xuanwu Hotel?
The two of them gasped together, it was a place where only local tyrants could afford to live.
It seems that the two middle school students in front of him are really the masters with a lot of money. It's just that the current middle school students, have they fallen in love so early?
Qin Xiaoxiao thought secretly, but on the surface she was respectful.
That's 300 yuan of extra money, and I haven't found a work-study opportunity until the summer, but now I finally came once, and I have to seize it.
Even if he was making fun of himself, he would admit it, after all, it was 300 yuan!
After talking, Wu Tao looked at the time, and the questionnaire was almost ready.
Back at the previous print shop, the landlady actually stood up and greeted herself.
After the money and goods were cleared, the female boss asked with a smile: "There are so many questionnaires, do you need to recruit someone to do the survey?"
It seems that the female boss is also a part-time agent here.
Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "No need, I've already found it." ”
Leaving Jinling University, the two went straight to Xinjiekou.
Although in Bac Giang, he inspected the sales of water dispensers. But when he arrived in Jinling, he still wanted to visit it in person.
This is not only to understand the situation directly, but also to solve the problem of brand recognition and find partners.
Since the recognition of domestic brands by Chinese people is not high in recent years, the fastest shortcut is OEM production and an imported brand.
Wait until the market is stable and the channel is mature, and then put aside the imported brand and make your own products.
After An Rong heard his thoughts, her beautiful eyes widened, "Can it be like this? Isn't this a deception?"
"A well-intentioned deception is also more effective than a futile explanation!"
