Chapter Eighty-Seven: Doing a Bad Market
"Hey, is the sun coming out of the west this year?" Teacher Liu looked at the bus parked at the school gate in disbelief, and all the homeroom teachers and Chinese, mathematics and English teachers in the school were given a week's vacation to participate in the provincial city tour organized by the school.
Although the teachers of the second high school have a good harvest and food and clothing during droughts and floods, they are relatively poor in entertainment when the general environment is sluggish. It's always good to have the opportunity to go out and walk.
"Hey, look." Teacher Liu sat on the seat of the bus, and Teacher Qian next to her touched her and pouted out the window.
"What's wrong?" Teacher Liu didn't know why.
"Director Gao didn't come with him this time, which doesn't fit his character." Teacher Qian said in confusion.
Teacher Liu looked outside, and sure enough, he saw Gao Wendi standing at the door of the teaching building from afar, without the slightest action to get on the bus. I couldn't help but feel a shadow in my heart. has been a colleague for decades, she knows Gao Wendi too well, this is a master who is uncomfortable if she can't take advantage, how can she honestly stay and watch her family this time?
In Mr. Liu's question, the fully loaded bus caught fire, closed the automatic door, and slowly drove on the journey.
Tang Li walked out of the teaching building, stood beside Gao Wendi, and said with a smile: "Now the most difficult obstacle has been removed, and our plan will be unimpeded." ”
Gao Wendi looked at him, shook his head and said, "I'm just a left-behind dean of academic affairs, and I don't know anything. Even if you have a plan, that's also Boss Tang's plan. ”
Tang Li sighed secretly in his heart, and said with a smile on the surface: "Of course, Director Gao conscientiously implements the document instructions of the superior leaders, and his hard work is admirable!" ”
The beginning of good is half the success, Tang Li took advantage of Gao Wendi's momentum to quickly send the enrollment brochure of Tang's International Winter Vacation Cram School to every student. Students who don't know why really think that this is a semi-official cram school recommended by the school, so they naturally sign up one after another.
With the second high school as a demonstration, the next business expansion is like a bamboo. Tang Li and Mr. Li both mobilized all their social connections to win over the management of various high schools. The school leaders, who have long been greedy for the income of the teacher's make-up classes, often hit it off on both sides. If the school leader is strong, he will simply roll up his arms and sleeves to pull people for the training institution.
In the days after the final exams, it was supposed to be the day when the cram school started. However, in two or three days, Tang Li and Mr. Li's cram school strategy revealed its huge market capacity, and thousands of student registration lists directly blinded their kryptonite eyes.
"The two of us, can we eat so much business?" Mr. Li smiled and said worriedly.
Tang Li unbuttoned his shirt and said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of, as long as there are students, are you afraid that there will be no teachers?" It's a big deal to go to other training classes to poach people, Zhou Shuo's set is too strict, and there will definitely be many training teachers who will be brushed down. ”
Mr. Li thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "yes, hehe, this is called digging a self-grave, right?" ”
Tang Li smiled confidently: "That's right, this matter is not over. Look at it, how do I want him to kick us out of the vocational training market, and then how to invite us back! ”
"Oh?" Mr. Li asked curiously: "Boss Tang will be released?" ”
Tang Li said categorically: "Let's directly reduce the training fee of vocational training by 40%. As long as we don't lose money, we will make money! ”
Mr. Li said worriedly: "However, I'm afraid this won't hurt the foundation of a high position." The trainees who will be pulled over because of the reduction of training fees may not have much spending power. The real high-quality students will definitely be pulled over by them. ”
Tang Li shook his head and said step by step: "You are wrong, we cut the price not to attract many students, but to make a high position unable to attract students." Everyone learns the same content, and if you charge 40% more tuition just by arranging work, can this not make people mutter? We have the profits of the winter vacation cram school, and it doesn't matter if we don't make money in vocational training this year. But the group of people who followed Zhou Shuo couldn't do it, if there weren't enough students, the alliance wouldn't be disbanded at the end of the day. ”
He waited for Mr. Li to understand, and then said with a confident smile: "Follow us to reduce the price, they will definitely erode the old capital." If the price is not reduced, I don't know how many students in Ludao will have to wait and see. After reaching the end, Zhou Shuo has to talk to us. Survive this year, and next year's Xiucheng training industry will be reshuffled! ”
Mr. Li smacked for a while, and couldn't help but praise: "It's worthy of Boss Tang, what a good strategy!" However, if we really start the class at the cost price, and there are not many students, I am afraid that we will still lose a lot. Why don't we raise the price again? ”
Tang Li Zhizhu was in his hand, and said with a smile: "No need, I estimate that our price reduction will not last long, and Zhou Shuo will have to come to the door soon." ”
Tang International, which has thousands of people, has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from the deposit alone. After having sufficient ammunition, Tang Li quickly launched a counterattack against Zhou Shuo.
"Headmaster, look at this."
Liu Guifang put a copy of the Xiucheng Daily on his desk, Zhou Shuo picked up the newspaper, glanced at it and said, "They are crazy, they will make the market rotten if they do this." ”
Zhou Shuo pointed to the Tang's International advertisement published in Xiucheng Daily, on which the training fee was almost stuck on the cost line. Although it does not promise to teach and arrange work, the price alone is already extremely attractive.
The effect of such a price reduction offensive is almost immediate.
Zhou Shuo and Liu Guifang grabbed the newspaper and ran to the registration point to check the situation. I saw that the registration point, which was originally crowded, became sparse at a speed visible to the naked eye. Many students may not have thrown themselves into the arms of Tang International, but they don't mind waiting a few more days to see if the price of a high school will also be reduced.
"Why don't we lower some tuition fees as well, instead of reducing them by 40 percent like they did. In my opinion, if we reduce it by 20 percent, it will be enough to erase their advantage. Liu Guifang frowned and sighed.
Zhou Shuo shook his head silently, and hummed: "Not to mention the impact of the price reduction on the high reputation of a position, there is not enough profit, how can the training class of the franchise follow us." Even if they were persuaded to agree, the requirements for the quality of teaching would be forced to relax, which I would never accept. ”
Liu Guifang said worriedly: "What can I do then?" If you don't have enough students, you won't be able to attract these franchise training courses. ”
Zhou Shuo scratched his head and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, let's use the other way to repay the other." ”
"Director Gao, what does this mean? Why did all the students in our class sign up for this Tang International training course? I heard that it was recommended by the school to students? Teacher Liu and a group of colleagues surrounded Gao Wendi in the office, shouting violently.
Gao Wendi sat behind the desk and said unhurriedly: "Well, this is mainly to implement the spirit of the document issued by the Education Bureau on regulating holiday cram schools. The school also recommends a formal training institution for the sake of students, so that students can get high-quality services. A big training institution like Tang's International is better than those small or even black training in society, isn't it? ”
Teacher Liu thought about the more than ten students in his class who often tutored, how could he not feel distressed when the income of thousands of yuan in a summer vacation was gone?
She pointed at Gao Wendi and shouted angrily: "Then why did this happen when we went to the provincial capital for a tour?" I think you just have a ghost in your heart! ”
"Teacher Liu, what do you mean by this? What's wrong with me? What I do is above board, and I can't say anything to anyone! Or did you go to the provincial capital and lose the opportunity to tutor students during the holidays, so you became angry? ”
"You!" Teacher Liu was speechless, the cram school was originally not on the table. Although everyone knows that Lu Dao is such an unspoken rule, but if she really wants to be more true than this, it is undoubtedly her fault first.
A group of teachers came out of Gao Wendi's office dejectedly, and couldn't help but be relatively speechless.
"He Yoyo?" Teacher Liu exclaimed in surprise.
"Hello Mr. Liu!" He Youyou has changed greatly this semester, and the original young girl has gradually become more stable. Looking at her gestures, she is not like a student, but more like a strong woman in the workplace, full of momentum.
"Isn't it already on vacation, why are you coming to school again?" Teacher Liu asked with concern.
Since Zhou Shuo's incident, everyone in the school now knows that the director of the Ludao Education Bureau is He Youyou's uncle, and the teachers have not asked her for warmth. And since the change of computer teacher, the original interest group students in this class no longer organize activities, He Youyou really has no reason to appear on campus at this time.
"Oh, I heard that some of my classmates were thinking about what extracurricular classes to take during the winter vacation, so I brought them some newspapers."
Teacher Liu was curious: "What kind of newspaper is it?" ”
"Today's Xiucheng Daily." He Youyou took out a newspaper, handed it to Teacher Liu and said, "There is an article on how to choose a cram school, I think it will be of great help to students during the holidays." ”
"Choosing an article for a cram school?" Teacher Liu opened the newspaper and read it carefully.
"How's it going, Principal Zhou? My conditions are very sincere, please think about it. Tang Li said proudly.
"You call the vocational training market half a person very sincere?" Zhou Shuo sneered: "I can't see it at all. ”
Tang Li clenched his fists a little nervously, he didn't want to completely anger Zhou Shuo. After all, in addition to being a high-ranking principal, he also runs a keyboard factory and two software companies. If you push him into a hurry......
Looking for an opponent who earns tens of millions of yuan a month for yourself? It's a death story.
"So, a third?"
