Chapter 215: A Special Family Banquet (Ask for Collection)
The winter break ended quickly, and the staff of our platform arrived at the school a week early for the second round of publicity.
This is something we agreed on years ago.
Parents should hire a tutor for their children, and they must make plans before the start of school.
Of course, at this time, it is mainly advertised in the streets and neighborhoods. School propaganda can only wait for the day of school.
After a week of dedication, the calls to the platform continued one after another.
Originally, we were worried that there would not be too much attention from parents, but now we are worried that there are not enough willing college students.
We took into account that if there are not enough willing college students, we will reach out to neighboring universities to meet the needs of parents.
A week after the start of the school year, we managed to connect nearly 200 of them. Moreover, considering that one semester is four times the time of winter vacation, the intermediary fee is mentioned at 30 yuan per person, that is, as long as we successfully dock one, we can earn 60 yuan, two hundred pairs, nearly more than 12,000 yuan of income.
Excluding everyone's salary, the platform's net income is nearly 10,000 yuan.
When Chu Huoyu showed me the accounts, I was stunned by the impressive data.
Although this may be the income of nearly half a year, because, although there are tutors halfway, it is certainly not on the scale, but the average is more than 2,500 yuan per month, which is already a high income, no less than the income of the entire store of the Youth Book House.
With this income, I paid off Ding Ying's debts, and I also paid off the 4,000 yuan raised by my grandfather and mother, and I gave an extra 500 yuan to each person.
The next thing I want to do is to expand the influence of the Youth Book House and the platform, and strive to be recognized and valued by the leaders of the college.
So I found a moment to walk into Dean Ai's office again.
My arrival seemed to have been expected by Dean Ai.
"Are you here to report to me on the results?" Dean Ai said with a smile.
"I can't talk about the results," I said modestly, "mainly to report to the dean on our business conditions and business model." ”
"You say."
I gave Dean Ai a general explanation of the operation of the bookstore and the operation of the platform, but I made a certain compression in terms of results, that is, revenue.
"Not bad, not bad, really good," Dean Ai was full of praise, "To be able to make such a high result in such a short period of time, Zheng Qihang, you are really capable and courageous." ”
"Thank you Dean for the compliment, as I told you before, my achievements are inseparable from your support. Therefore, I came here today to ask the dean to come and feel the atmosphere of our own business, and I think it is time to spread the word to the outside world. I assure you that I will not disappoint newspapers, television stations, or other institutions that come to check or check them out. I said.
"Okay, great," Dean Ai patted the table, "that's what I want." I immediately contacted TV stations, newspapers, and related institutions, and I felt that it was time to spread the word about this feature to the outside world. ”
As I said, Dean Ai is a vigorous and resolute person, and in the next two weeks after I reported to him, a group of people came to the Youth Book House and the platform to visit, and even learn.
Newspapers and television stations rushed to report on the practices of our college, and I was mentioned as the founder. The newspaper made a special report to the college, and there was always a paragraph praising Zheng Qihang; The TV station made a special TV program for the college, and in addition to Dean Ai's speech, I also showed my face for a few seconds. To exaggerate, our college suddenly became a well-known medical school in the province and even the country.
Dean Ai has unlimited scenery, and I follow the infinite scenery.
When Dean Ai and a group of people appeared in front of the bookstore for the first time, they looked at the signboard of the bookstore again and again, and when he saw the signboard of the tutoring contact platform in a similar style, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Did you design these two signboards by the advertising agency, or did you design them yourself?" Dean Ai pulled me aside.
"I thought of it myself. I think it's important to highlight the autonomy ...... college students," I said, touching my head.
"That's right, I mean that. Do you like Mi Fu's words? ”
"Uh-huh, I especially like Mi Fu's words." I say.
"Tell me why you like it?"
"I said dean, don't laugh, I mainly like Mi Fu Xingshu, interesting, and personal." I scratched my head.
"Anything else?" Dean Ai continued to ask.
"His pen is elegant, and his style is cheerful and calm, much like his character."
"Not bad, not bad." Dean Ai couldn't stop nodding.
If it weren't for his vice presidents repeatedly calling him, and if it weren't for the reporters from newspapers and television stations who wanted to interview him, Dean Ai would have continued to communicate with me.
On this day, Ai Sadako told me that his father was going to invite me to a banquet at his house.
"What, invite me to your house for dinner?" I don't believe in my ears.
"You think it's a new world, don't you?"
"It's a new continent in the New World."
"Don't exaggerate, it's just a family dinner." Ai Sadako said.
"But you must know that it was the top leader of the academy who invited me to the banquet." I say.
"You just tell me if you're going or not."
"Go, of course. How could I not go? ”
"Well, then, it's half past five tonight. Do you know my home? Ai Sadako asked.
I shook my head.
"So you're still pretty pedantic. Do you know how many people have gone out of their way to find out where my house is? ”
"You're criticizing."
At half past five that night, I showed up at Dean Ai's door on time.
It was an ordinary family room, and the interior decoration was also the most basic decoration.
It's rare for a dean's house of such a big size to be so ordinary.
"Come in, come in," the dean's wife beckoned to me, "Sadako, who do you see coming?" ”
Ai Sadako walked out of the study.
Ai Zhenzi is dressed more fashionably today, with a pink down jacket and black slacks, looking down-and-out.
Dean Ai in the kitchen.
I wondered. It's not like Dean Ai is in charge of it.
"You're blessed today," said Sadako Ai, "and my dad is in charge of the spoon, which is something that has not happened in a few years." ”
"This ...... I was flattered, "How dare I?" ”
"What dare not be, you just eat, and, how do I think you are a lot more restrained today, this is not your character."
"I'm really restrained when you say it."
All the dishes were served. The last dish is served by the dean himself. I was touched by the image of the dean wearing an apron.
You are not moved, but you are moved.
Four people, but they cooked seven or eight dishes.
Dean Ai opened a bottle of wine.
"Zheng Qihang, you should be able to drink," Dean Ai took my wine glass, "I remember one time you had a treat and ate in a restaurant, and Sadako came back and told me that you had a drink. ”
"Dean Ai, you have a good memory, but I don't drink much." I say.
"But it's so cool." Ai Sadako said.
"I just appreciate good people, don't look at me as a dean, Wenqing has a little more ingredients, but I tell you that I can't twist Nini a little. How about a drink? ”
"Okay." I don't shirk anymore.
It was a very pleasant family dinner.
There's no pressure, there's just relaxation and pleasure. We have an endless stream of topics, saying that there is one.
Dean Ai, who has drunk alcohol, is a very talkative person.
"Zheng Qihang, you don't believe it, you are the first person I have met in so many years. Really, in nearly thirty years, I haven't seen anyone like you. "Dean Ai blushes when he drinks like me.
"It's Dean Ai who is too loving." I humbly said.
"The main thing that doesn't raise love is that you have the potential and ability to do this, otherwise, I wouldn't have done this to you," Dean Ai said, "When I was your teacher, I recognized your research spirit in the hospital and your unique understanding of medicine, and in this regard, I always encourage Sadako to learn like you." ”
"Yes, my dad always says Zheng Qihang Zheng Qihang, and my ears are calloused." Ai Sadako said.
"That's right, it's because of this that I know that my daughter has a classmate named Zheng Qihang." The dean's wife said.
"In November last year, you came to me for the right to run the bookstore and told me about the idea of college students starting their own businesses, so I got to know you in all aspects. Your foresight even surpassed that of the leaders of our college, and even several of my vice deans did not accept your views for a while. The dean said.
"Thank you for the compliment, I respect you, Dean." I raised my glass.
"At that time, I felt that your opinion was a reform and opening up for the college. After all, I have not been the dean for a long time, and I also hope to find a breakthrough to make my achievements. ”
"Your advice is exactly what my father likes." Ai Sadako said,
"Yes," said Dean Ai, "I wouldn't have supported you so much if it hadn't been for the right fit for me." ”
"I know."
"Now, Zheng Qihang, everything is as we expected, our college has become a nationally famous college, and you have also become a celebrity. Did you know that for the sake of the characteristics of our college, the director of the Provincial Department of Education summoned me? ”
"That's what you do."
"Yes, this is the way to do things, to break when you are broken, and to do what you do. At this point, I think you are very similar to me. By the way, what did you think about the last time I told you about staying in school? Dean Ai looked at me gently.
Ah, "I'm surprised, what kind of direction is this?"
"You're not going to tell me you haven't thought about it. Let me tell you, the indicators of school retention are very limited, and many people are looking at the indicators of school stay. "Dean Ai is meaningful.
"It's precisely because many people have the idea of staying in school that I don't dare to think about it." I say.
"Hahahaha, you kid is cunning, you have to make it clear to me, right? Okay, then I'll be blunt, I want you to stay in our academy. Dean Ai took a sip of wine by himself.
"Zheng Qihang, you still don't thank my dad? It's a promise to you. Ai Sadako said.
I stood up, "Thank you, Dean, thank you!" ”
