Chapter 77: Self-Promotion

TL: Etude

Climbing out of bed, Jiang Qin checked his class schedule and found that today there was only one public lecture titled Introduction to College Education.

So, he changed his clothes and headed straight to the square in front of the south side of the teaching building.

This square was the most concentrated mini-commercial area within Linchuan University, featuring a supermarket, milk tea shop, barber shop, fruit store, and tea bar.

Originally named Qinxue Square, it sounded too rustic, so everyone preferred to call it Front Square.

Jiang Qin found a spot where the sun didnt reach and sat cross-legged for nearly an hour, closely observing the customer flow of the merchants in Front Square. Finally, he slapped the table and turned into the milk tea shop that had only three customers all morning.

In this day and age, its really tough for individual proprietors like me to survive.

Do you know about the point exchange for milk tea at the college supermarket? Their milk tea is half the price of mine!

But they are not really in it for the profit; its more about boosting the sales of other items in their store.

Just like that, half a year into their promotion, my business died down. I only get students who feel its too far to go there and settle for a cup from my shop.

I didnt want to continue, but theres still a year left on my lease. Dropping out now means a total loss. Barely getting by makes me feel a bit better.

I used to think that being near a university, any business would thrive. Now I realize that competition is fiercer where the crowd is.

The owner of the milk tea shop was a young woman in her late twenties, with dyed yellow hair, her face full of complaints, as if she wanted to rush into the college supermarket and bite someone.

Losing money is not scary, but whats terrifying is not being able to cut losses in time. This is the most torturous, as it not only leads to financial losses but also weakens ones spirit.

Jiang Qin looked around the shop and asked, Cant you do something else?

This store is in a corner of this building, with such limited space, suitable only for selling milk tea. Besides, everyone knows my business is bad, I cant even sell it off, the young woman lamented.

What if someone is willing to take over your lease?

Who would be that foolish? the woman with the golden hair didnt believe it.New novel chapters are published on

Jiang Qin coughed, Fools do exist, dont they? Do I look like one?

Not a waste. The shop was struggling and offered at a low price. Its continuous losses werent due to poor quality, but because it was overwhelmed by price wars, losing its customer base. However, the popularity of the campus beauty contest is still high. I plan to tie the contest and this milk tea shop together, launch a combination strategy, and create an attractive sales report for the shop to show other merchants.

Su Nai thoughtfully responded, So, it used to be losing money, but itll turn profitable after the naming?

That I cant guarantee. Right now, its just speculation. Well have to see how it goes when the campus beauty contest starts. Monetizing initial website traffic is tough, so its also a bit of an experiment.

After hearing this, Su Nai exclaimed, Killing three birds with one stone? Where do you get these ideas?

Jiang Qin looked at her disdainfully, Its the wisdom of our ancestors. Dont you know how much business value ancient courtesan contests brought?

??????

Think about it more and stop watching those un-un-ungh-ah-ah videos all the time.

Su Nai pursed her lips, then shifted her attention to Feng Nanshu. This was her first time seeing someone so beautiful, flawless from every angle beautiful eyes, lips, nose, simply gorgeous everywhere.

Youre really beautiful, she blurted out her thoughts.

Feng Nanshus eyes sparkled, Youre such a good person.

Alright, no more flattery. Su Nai, if you dont have classes, go optimize the program. We still have a class this afternoon. Cant be late for our first university lecture. We need to maintain some ceremonial sense.

Jiang Qin interrupted their mutual compliments and led the little rich lady towards the teaching building.

Under the sunlight, the two with a height difference of ten centimeters one in a shirt, the other in a dress looked incredibly matched, like a scene straight out of a romance novel.

Huh?

The first university lecture?

Su Nais gaze momentarily froze.

Eh, eh, eh, wasnt he supposed to be a senior student?
