Chapter Eighty-Eight: Competition

"No, unless I follow my conditions, not a single student will be diverted to you." Zhou Shuo said categorically.

"Principal Zhou, wouldn't it be better for everyone to have money to earn together? You have tens of millions of dollars a month, why rob me of this little job. Tang Li pleaded bitterly.

Zhou Shuo shook his head coldly and said, "Boss Tang, it's not a matter of money. In other words, it's not a matter of hundreds of thousands of dollars. You're wrong, I'm bound to win the training market in Xiucheng. ”

Tang Li looked at him, stood up, nodded and said, "I understand, then we'll see you in the mall." ”

Zhou Shuo nodded to him slightly.

Tang Li and Mr. Li came out of their positions and stood on the side of the road watching the crowded streets.

Mr. Li lamented: "This week, Shuo is Wang Ba's iron heart, let's think about the way back." The business of extracurricular tutoring may not be so smooth every year. ”

Tang Li nodded silently, threw the cigarette he had smoked on the ground and stomped on it, and said: "This year, we were caught off guard by those teachers, don't look at these people who are powerless and powerless, we may not be opponents if we really fight back." ”

"What then?" Mr. Li hesitated and said: "Otherwise, I still made this money, so hurry up and stop it." Nowadays, it is easy to buy and sell, and you don't necessarily have to hang yourself from a tree. ”

"I want to try again." Tang Li said firmly: "Reduce the tuition fee for vocational training by half on the current basis, I don't think Zhou Shuo can continue to be indifferent!" ”

"This ...... I'm afraid that the injury will be a little big. Mr. Li said hesitantly.

"Anyway, there are not many people who sign up now, and I estimate that no matter how low the tuition fee is, the number of students who come here is limited. In that case, why don't you just spell it! ”

Mr. Li thought for a while, nodded with difficulty and said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you to bet on the last one!" ”

Liu Guifang burst into Zhou Shuo's office angrily, sat on the sofa with a "bang", and shouted: "Principal, the tuition fee of Tang's International has been reduced again!" ”

"Oh, how much?"

"It's halved again, and they're simply harming others and themselves." Liu Guifang poured herself a glass of water, drank it with a grunt, and said indignantly: "Now many students below are knocking on the side and asking, will we follow the price reduction!" ”

Zhou Shuo shook his head and said: "The tuition fee is still according to the market situation, and they can't last long if they do it like this." As he spoke, he opened the newspaper in his hand and handed it to Liu Guifang and said, "You read this article and analyzed in detail the factors of tuition pricing, as well as the many benefits that the two promises of teaching and arranging work have brought to students. ”

"We're still in the newspaper about this?" Liu Guifang said in surprise.

Zhou Shuo smiled and invited her to read the article in the newspaper.

Liu Guifang read the ten lines at a glance and said excitedly: "It's really well written." I'll just say, what's the use of low prices, the key is to learn skills. Otherwise, no matter how little money you have, it will be in vain. ”

After her eyes saw the most ugly, she said, "Reporter Ye Weiran? This name sounds familiar. ”

"Huh." Zhou Shuo smiled and said nothing, of course he wouldn't tell her that Ye Weiran was the reporter who interviewed him last time, and it was better not to find someone to publish an article.

"What do the bosses of the training classes have to say?"

Zhou Shuo has a lot of things to do now, although he has always paid attention to the development of the school, but his energy is inevitably low. Many of the following things were gradually handed over to Liu Guifang to be responsible. Now he will help with these troubles, but he still hopes that she can get started as soon as possible and arrest the matter of this training alliance.

"These people are all grass on the wall, and of course I hope we can withstand it." Liu Guifang pouted when he said this: "But I think there are few people who wish we couldn't hold on, and then the market will return to its original model." ”

Zhou Shuo nodded and said: "There are always people who are short-sighted, they can't see the benefits of industrial enrichment, and they always want to live the days of their wives and children hot kang. We just want to drive them to run, those who can keep up with the team will have greater development, and those who fall behind must resolutely clean up the troubles. ”

Zhou Shuo and Liu Guifang were talking, when there was a sudden knock on the door in the office, and he shouted to please come in. I saw He Youyou walking in with a group of teachers from the second high school.

"Yo, Teacher Liu, Teacher Li, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Qian......"

Zhou Shuo hurriedly stood up and greeted these former colleagues one by one: "Please take a seat, everyone sit." ”

A group of teachers looked at Zhou Shuo's office in surprise, his principal's office is not small, but the furnishings are quite simple. A set of desks, a filing cabinet, two sets of sofas and some potted plants. Even the floor is not paved with a floor, but a simple concrete floor.

Teacher Liu and his colleagues sat down on the sofa and looked at this former colleague. But I haven't seen him for half a year, but I didn't expect him to be a principal.

Teacher Liu asked nervously, "Zhou ...... Principal, listen to He Youyou, do you have a way to bring the students back from Tang International? ”

Zhou Shuo smiled and nodded, although he could see that Teacher Liu was a little reluctant to call him, but he did not say anything to correct it. At school, she almost cheated herself in the open class, although he can not care, but it doesn't mean that he can still act as if this kind of thing has not happened.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy, and there's not much I can do. However, I am also willing to contribute to the team. After all, Tang International is a common enemy for us. Zhou Shuo poured everyone a glass of water and sat back at the desk.

Teacher Liu was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still said: "Let's find the leader of the Education Bureau, Principal Zhou, don't you have a good relationship with Director He?" ”

"This is a market competition behavior, and there is not much room for operation from the administrative side." Zhou Shuo flatly refused: "Besides, it is also a national policy to clean up private black cram schools, and it is impossible for Director He to make this mistake." ”

"So what to do, is there no other way?" Teacher Liu said anxiously.

"Of course there is, since it is market behavior, it is better to solve it through competitive means."

"Competitive means?" Teacher Liu asked puzzled.

They have been teachers all their lives, and they have learned everything in school, but they have never learned how to compete in business.

Zhou Shuo said step by step: "The reason why Tang International currently has an advantage is that they have the documents of their superiors in their hands, right? ”

"That's right. But as you just said, it's impossible for the above to take this document back. ”

"Whoever says that the means of competition is to find a relationship." Zhou Shuo turned the conversation and said: "The key to this document is not to prevent students from tutoring outside of class, but to prohibit private tutoring and black tutoring. Down's International is a formal training institution with formal training qualifications and training venues, which is where their advantage lies. ”

"They have a lot of money, how can the teaching level be as high as the teachers of our key high schools?" Teacher Liu complained.

Zhou Shuo smiled: "That's right, this is our advantage." Compared with qualifications and venues, we can't compare to Tang's International, but when it comes to teaching quality, who can be higher than the teachers of our second high school? Who knows his students better than his homeroom teacher? If we want to compete with Tang's International, we must give full play to our advantages in this regard. ”

"But now the students have been pulled over by them......"

"Lower the price, use a lower price than them to pull people back."

"It's not difficult, but when the students come here, where do they go to teach?" Teacher Liu said helplessly.

In the second high school alone, there are hundreds of students in the remedial school. If all the students of Tang International are brought over, almost thousands of people, and they can't borrow school classrooms, where can non-professional institutions find such a large venue?

Zhou Shuo smiled and said lightly: "It's okay to rent a school." ”

Two days later, the building rented by Daystar Education and Training School was quietly empty. The teachers of the second high school seized the time to start setting up the classrooms and preparing the study materials.

At the same time, Down's admissions office was crowded with parents of students who had applied to withdraw from school.

"My child doesn't want to study with you anymore, why don't you get a refund for the tuition?" A student's parent slapped the desk and said angrily: "You don't teach well, and you don't allow students to study elsewhere?" ”

"That's right, it's only been two days of class, and there is a three-day return period for shopping in the mall. You say you won't retreat if you don't return? I'm going to tell you to go! ”

"Don't talk so much nonsense, do you dare to give the money back, Lao Tzu is looking for someone to smash your broken Tang International!"

"Return the money! Refund! ”

At this time, only a young girl who had just been recruited was left in the admissions office. Poor her, surrounded by so many excited parents, she didn't even dare to move, and she was about to cry in a hurry.

And Tang Li, the boss of Tang International, couldn't even see anyone at this time.

Mr. Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and said in a circle: "This trick is too ruthless!" Boss Tang, what do you think? ”

Tang Li smoked a cigarette sullenly, and said angrily: "What should I do? Hold on! The money in my pocket is still going to take it out again and do their spring and autumn dreams! ”

"I'm afraid that the person surnamed Zhou will move the Education Bureau and stand up for the parents of these students......"

"Hmph, if you want to come out, you'll be out early!" Tang Li sneered and said: "Director He of the Education Bureau is the big boss, if I have such a relationship, what kind of cram school will I pay to help those teachers set up?" It's just that the documents can't be recovered, so say hello to the top leaders of each school, aren't we out of line? I think that, the relationship between Zhou Shuo and Director He is like that, maybe the favor has long been gone, so he is fighting with us in such a roundabout way! ”

Mr. Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded violently and said, "Makes sense!" As long as the Education Bureau does not interfere, what can these students do? It's only two or three hundred dollars left and right, and after this while, it's stable! ”

While the two were talking, Tang Li's secretary suddenly ran in, holding a piece of paper in his hand and shouting: "Mr. Tang, the Education Bureau has issued a notice that our school qualifications will be suspended!" ”
