Chapter 38 I have an idea(1/2)
On the other hand, after Yang Xin finished her field trip in the university town, she met Jiang Qiuqiu at the coffee house of Zhuchuan University as agreed.
According to Yang Xin's original plan, she mainly wanted to use the influence of her account and her association's member resources to help Xue Shan do some advertisements among students, but after a detailed discussion with Jiang Qiuqiu, her ideas changed.
This student named Jiang Qiuqiu turned out to be far more than just good at skin care and makeup. She has extremely clear ideas about the brand and the future development of the beauty industry.
What surprised Yang Xin was particularly that Jiang Qiuqiu had a deep understanding of the brand of Xueshan. She even inadvertently mentioned some of Xueshan’s future development trends and possible problems in the conversation, which were all raised by Xueshan during an internal meeting, but had never been announced to the public.
Yang Xin has been in contact with many staff members of student organizations during this period. Most of the students appear too awkward and immature when negotiating with the brand. Some even know nothing about the brand and will only constantly emphasize how powerful the influence of their organization among students.
Jiang Qiuqiu is a completely different person. Many of her views are even more mature than those in the industry. Whether it is the brand itself or the student group, she has a far superior understanding of her peers.
Yang Xin felt that Jiang Qiuqiu's own value was much higher than her account on the forum.
"Class Qiuqiu, you really surprised me. I have benefited a lot from meeting you this time." Yang Xin sighed sincerely.
"I'm over the award, I'm just interested in this aspect." Jiang Qiuqiu felt a little embarrassed. After all, these are not strictly speaking of her opinion, but the "history" she already knows. However, she has a lot of experience in dealing with this situation. Anyway, no matter what the other party says, she just needs to smile calmly.
"I'm serious." Yang Xin said seriously, "To be honest, I just wanted to ask you to help our company promote it, but now, I have new ideas and I think we can have deeper cooperation."
Yang Xin revealed to Jiang Qiuqiu that Xueshan headquarters has approved a budget for local branches this time. According to the plan, the budget will be used to sponsor student activities in various universities. After this conversation, Yang Xin felt that they might be able to divide part of the budget and cooperate with her association.
Yang Xin said: "I need to go back and report to our person in charge first, but I think the problem should not be big."
"Okay, I'll bother you." Jiang Qiuqiu said, "Our association will send you relevant information and member activity planning documents as soon as possible."
The meeting between Jiang Qiuqiu and Yang Xin was initially personal, so Jiang Qiuqiu had not mentioned it with the people from her association before. Unexpectedly, Yang Xin actually offered to cooperate with her association in the end.
After parting with Yang Xin, Jiang Qiuqiu contacted Susan and told her the meeting completely. Unexpectedly, Susan suddenly slapped the table excitedly after hearing this: "That's great! Qiuqiu, you have helped a lot!"
Jiang Qiuqiu was startled: "What's wrong?"
"Last week Wu Huiya asked me to meet and asked me an idea." Susan said, "Because I haven't confirmed it yet, I haven't told you."
Jiang Qiuqiu was curious: "What's your thought?"
Susan: "Don't the Haiyi Association have a girl talent competition? Wu Huiya suggested to me that she would like to jointly hold it with our association across schools this year."
It turns out that the Haiyi Association of Wenhai University holds a girl’s talent competition every year. Because of the support of the school, it has been held in a very exciting and well-known among universities in the past few years.
This year, the Zhuchuan University Association was established and has cooperated with the Haiyi Association for the first time. With the help of Jiang Qiuqiu, the Haiyi Association has now officially launched skin care and beauty courses and has achieved a very good reputation among its members.
Similarly, recently, the association has begun to send personnel to the Ocean Arts Association to learn their yoga and body shape courses, preparing to promote them among her association members.
It can be said that the exchanges between the two associations are in a honeymoon period that has never been seen in history, and the win-win results brought by the cooperation between the two parties are obvious to all.
Therefore, Wu Huiya had a bold idea. If their Girls Talent Competition could be held in collaboration with her association, it might have an unexpected effect.
In fact, before Wu Huiya proposed cooperation, her association had already begun to prepare for her own large-scale events, and her goal was to follow the talent competition of Haiyi. However, her association was just established and had a weak foundation. Unlike Haiyi, she had the support of the school. It was not easy to support a competition with her own strength. Therefore, the suggestion put forward by Wu Huiya was just right for Susan.
Susan and Wu Huiya hit it off, but when they really talked about specific cooperation, both of them were in trouble.
There is no other reason, and the funds cannot be sustained.
The two associations' cross-school cooperation, regardless of their sense, scale, and impact, are completely different from those in-school activities, but the same is true, the funds required are incomparable to those in-school activities.
The Haiyi Association’s Girls’ Talent Competition originally had a fixed sponsor. When Wu Huiya proposed to prepare for a cross-school alliance with Zhuchuan University, the sponsor was very supportive at the beginning, but after hearing the budget, he directly refused.
In fact, without the intervention of the official force, it would be very difficult for any business to spend so much money to sponsor a student activity based on them alone.
The cost cannot be solved, and the idea of cross-school joint cannot be realized, so Susan has never told them this idea.
She never expected that Jiang Qiuqiu would contact Xueshan's marketing department alone and asked Xueshan's people to take the initiative to propose cooperation. If Xueshan really planned to carry out large-scale marketing between universities, they might really have enough budget and courage to sponsor such a large-scale event.
No wonder Susan was so excited when she heard Jiang Qiuqiu's words.
Jiang Qiuqiu was also surprised.
In 2018, before her time travel, Hers Association did have a very large-scale girl talent competition, and Xueshan was also a long-term sponsor of the competition. However, that competition was not just a cooperation with the Ocean Arts Association, but spanned fourteen universities in the entire university town, and was called the most influential event of the Zhugao League.
Jiang Qiuqiu always thought that this event was held later. After all, the financial, material and manpower required for this scale are not something that a newly established association can afford.
But now it seems that this event started to be held in the first year of the establishment of the association? And it started to cooperate with Haiyi across schools in the first year?
Jiang Qiuqiu felt something was wrong in his heart. Is it too coincidental?
She was in a mess, but she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Seeing her face full of entanglement, Susan asked, "What are you thinking? Why do you look so surprised?"
Jiang Qiuqiu suddenly came to her senses, suppressed the strange thing in her heart, and smiled and said, "I'm very surprised. I didn't expect that you and Senior Sister Wu would have a day to cooperate with each other!"
"..." Susan silently, and sighed incredibly, "This is called unpredictable."
After learning that Jiang Qiuqiu had reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Xue Shan's people, Wu Huiya was also very excited and immediately notified the staff of the two associations to hold a meeting together and finalized the preliminary plan for the cross-school cooperation competition overnight.
Unfortunately, before their plan was finished, a basin of cold water was poured down.
Yang Xin sent back the news that Xueshan Marketing Department did not support cooperation with her association.
Jiang Qiuqiu was not surprised by the news. After all, her association was just established this year, so it is normal for Xueshan Marketing Department to have concerns, but she believes that there is room for negotiation in the matter.
Jiang Qiuqiu briefly told Yang Xin about the Girls’ Talent Competition: [This activity has a high degree of compatibility with your company’s target audience, and it is a cross-school joint, with a wider scale and influence. Perhaps your leaders will change their minds.]
Unexpectedly, Yang Xin's answer was decisive: [No.]
Jiang Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment: [Don’t you be optimistic about this activity?]
Yang Xin: [No, I am optimistic about this event, but there is no room for improvement in this matter.]
Jiang Qiuqiu faintly smelled an unusual message from Yang Xin's words. She frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then asked tactfully: [Is it convenient to understand the reason?]
Yang Xin was silent for a long time, and finally sent a message: [The company has already decided on the plan submitted by another person.]
She didn't say more detailed information, but Jiang Qiuqiu already understood it basically.
This is probably the so-called office struggle.
Xueshan wants to do national marketing, which is an opportunity for all those involved in the project to show their faces. In this case, whoever gives the opportunity to the person is not given to whom, many times, it is not just determined by ability, but also involves competition between teams.
Obviously, Yang Xin lost in this competition, and no matter what kind of plan she proposed, it would not be adopted.
Jiang Qiuqiu was a little confused. Xueshan did indeed have long-term sponsorship cooperation with her association later. Could it be that it started this time?
Unfortunately, she was not very clear about the history of her association before traveling through time, and she couldn't understand this for a while, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
Jiang Qiuqiu: [I understand, I’m sorry I can’t cooperate this time.]
Jiang Qiuqiu: [But I believe there will be a chance in the future.]
Yang Xin: [Thank you for understanding.]
After a while, probably unwilling to give up. Yang Xin added: [By the way, I can’t decide on the cost, but it’s still OK to sponsor some of your products.]
Jiang Qiuqiu understands it.
The sponsorship products and sponsorship fees are different.
The sponsorship fee is real money and whether the effect can be seen after spending money is still a different story. Sponsored products only need to provide the company's products to the event party. First, the cost is much lower, and second, the product itself is an advertisement.
Therefore, many merchants are very tightly stuck with fees, but they are much looser in product approval.
The same is true for Xue Shan. Yang Xin has no choice but to apply for approval of some products to her association with her authority.
Although this is very different from the sponsorship target expected at the beginning, it is better than nothing.
Jiang Qiuqiu: [Thank you.]
Jiang Qiuqiu: [But if there are only products, our association may not do much.]
Yang Xin: [I understand, do you have any ideas?]
What would Jiang Qiuqiu have? According to her original idea, the cooperation between Xueshan and her association is the destiny, and such twists and turns should not occur at all.
She had no idea for the moment and was thinking about how to reply to Yang Xin, but before she could figure it out, she had to devote her energy to dealing with the despicable male classmates.
Guan Jie was howling in the class group while bringing out the classmates with good relationships one by one, trying to attract everyone's attention.
Guan Jie: [tot I am so miserable, so miserable, inhumane.]
Guan Jie: [Zheng Xujiang Qiuqiu class leader A, B, C and D, are you all here? I can't lose you]
Classmate A: [What are you doing?]
Classmate B: [I didn’t bring paper when I went to the toilet? Let Zheng Xu give it to you!]
Guan Jie: [Go and go, I have nothing to say to you.]
Jiang Qiuqiu:【What's wrong?】
Zheng Xu:【?】
Guan Jie: [Can Zheng Xu not always speak in the back of Qiuqiu? I don’t want to see your two names appear together now.]
Jiang Qiuqiu:【Then I'm going to go】
Guan Jie: [No, you are not allowed to leave! I can't bear to leave anyone else]
Jiang Qiuqiu: […Say it quickly]
Guan Jie: [You look at the date. Have you noticed a bad news coming to us?]
Squad leader: [Damn, what?]
Guan Jie: [Single's Day! You haven't noticed it. Is Singles' Day coming?]
