Chapter 209 The new female college employee at the headquarters
Half a month into school, the weekend of the second week is here.
Su Zelin returned to the dormitory after a morning run. It was just before eight o'clock in the morning, but he found that everyone except the energetic boy had already gone to self-study.
This is the sense of urgency brought by the junior year and the obvious changes among the roommates. During the sophomore year, everyone would sleep in on the weekends, and there were even fewer recreational activities in the dormitory. In the past, they often used to
I know how to play cards, but now I haven’t played a game in the two weeks since school started, and I just had a dinner with the 501 dormitory not long after I returned to school.
The only two people who did not go to self-study, Su Zelin and Zeng Kaiping, were a little different. One had already started a successful business and did not have to worry about future work arrangements, while the other was an optimist and was muddle along.
"The mountain is cut, and the fat is pulled?"
Zeng Kaiping, who had just woken up, had a towel draped over his shoulders and was washing himself at the sink on the balcony behind the dormitory, with his mouth full of toothpaste foam.
The Mandarin spoken by people from Guangdong Province is not standard, and now it is even more ridiculous to speak unclearly. Fortunately, it does not affect communication, and Su Zelin still understands what he means.
"Well, Aping, what are your plans this week?"
Su Zelin opened a new bottle of black toothpaste she bought at the convenience store downstairs, squeezed a little bit onto the toothbrush, picked up the cup and went to the sink to get a glass of water, and asked casually.
"Poof!"
The spirited young man took a sip of water and spit out the foam in his mouth.
"If I have any plans, I'll just play Legend and watch movies. Alas, when I enter my junior year, I feel like my heart is gone!"
He let out a long sigh.
I think back then, 302 was so lively when I was a freshman. It was a happy camp every night and weekend. Not only this dormitory, but also boys from other dormitories often came here.
Those who play cards, those who brag, those who watch movies together...
However, nowadays most of those who are in love, studying for self-study, or have other activities, and those who really stay in the dormitory have computers, so the popularity of 302 is not as popular as before, which makes Zeng Kaiping miss it very much.
The spirited young man is a person who likes to have fun. After he became a rich man in Liede, he spent all day looking for friends to play with. In addition to his local friends in Guangdong, he also flew around all day long to find his former college classmates, especially looking for friends.
Su Zelin made the most frequent trips to Shenghai almost every month, where the gangster's company headquarters was at that time.
"It can't be said that people's hearts are broken. When it comes to group activities, everyone is still very active. It's just that everyone is more mature. They have clear plans for the future and work hard to implement them, hoping to achieve their life goals.
."
Su Zelin smiled.
Not everyone can be a cool brother like himself and Zeng Kaiping.
This kind of people are optimistic by nature, and they have to achieve financial freedom in order to be free and unrestrained. Otherwise, they will have to work all day long for three meals a day, and when they get married, they will become house slaves and child slaves. That would be a farce!
"Third brother, what you said makes sense, I'm the one who got it!"
Zeng Kaiping agreed.
The two handsome brothers chatted for a while by the sink. After washing, Su Zelin took another shower and went out.
I have to go to the headquarters later.
His current position is director of operations, so he travels more to the headquarters.
This wave of promotions for the back-to-school season has ended. All stores have sent their revenue reports to the headquarters last night. I have to go and find out today.
First, I went to the Caiyuan store and drove the Santana. Now this car is nominally an official car controlled by the new manager Liu Wanyin. However, although Xiaoliu has passed the driver's license test, the certificate has not been obtained so quickly. Su Zelin also
I didn’t mention a new official car, so I’ll use it for now.
When Su Zelin inserted the key into the car door to unlock the door, Su Zelin was still a little uncomfortable with it, but that's how it is in this era. Not to mention keyless start, there is not even a remote control key. Passat has such an ancient mechanical key.
Press the start button of the car CD and listen to the old hits from the speakers, Santana is on the road.
The traffic conditions in Lin'an are good, and we arrived at the Dingsheng Building in the city center in a short time.
Santana found a public parking space in the underground parking lot and parked it, and Su Zelin walked to the elevator not far away with ease.
Even on the weekend, there are still many people who have to go to work. It is the morning rush hour, and many people are waiting for the elevator.
After waiting for a few minutes, the elevator arrived and everyone rushed in.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, someone suddenly heard someone shouting. Not far away, a girl dressed as an OL ran over wearing high heels: "Please wait a moment!"
Su Zelin, who happened to be standing next to the elevator, pressed the elevator wait button and waited until she came in before letting go.
"Thank you!"
The girl was panting, but she still didn’t forget to say thank you.
She noticed that it was this boy who helped her.
"No need!"
Su Zelin smiled slightly.
The girl was only about 21 or 22 years old. She had just graduated from college. She had good looks and was wearing professional attire. Su Zelin saw the nameplate on her chest with the words "New Century" written on it.
Coincidentally, it seems that he is an employee from the headquarters, but he is very unfamiliar, so he must be new here.
The girl looked at her phone. Fortunately, she had three minutes left and she would be there in time.
This was her first official day at the company. She had left early, but the bus she was riding had some trouble and broke down on the road. It took a lot of time to change buses.
If I hadn't caught up with this elevator, I might have been late for the next one, even if it was just a minute late. It was my first day after all, and I was afraid that it would have left a bad impression on my boss and colleagues.
As the elevator goes up, the number of people inside gradually decreases.
"Ding!"
The elevator stopped at the sixteenth floor.
When the girl left, she found that the young man who had helped her just now also walked out.
"Hey, do you work on this floor too?"
she asked curiously.
"Yeah!"
Su Zelin nodded.
"I am from New Century Digital Co., Ltd., how about you?"
"Haha, me too."
"Wow, what a coincidence, then we are colleagues. My name is Li Meng, what about you?"
"Su Zelin!"
"You look quite young, you must be a newcomer, right?"
The gangster has a more mature temperament, and with his age-appropriate hairstyle, the girls misunderstood him as a fresh graduate.
"Well, as far as the headquarters is concerned, he can be considered a newcomer."
Su Zelin smiled.
He has indeed only taken up his post at the headquarters at the beginning of this semester, so he can be considered a "newcomer" to a certain extent.
Li Meng didn't quite understand what he meant, but she didn't ask too many questions because she had already reached the company door by the time he spoke.
In addition to the main store on the first floor, New Century also rented several hundred square meters of office space on the 16th floor of Dingsheng Building.
Speaking of which, this can be regarded as the real headquarters, where senior management and administrative staff work and receive guests. The one on the first floor can only be said to be the main store.
If someone comes to talk about cooperation, such as franchising or something, you can't talk about it in the store. Besides, employees like the training team do not belong to any one store, and they always have to have a place to stay.
"Sister Yuying, good morning!"
This girl has a very lively personality and greets the girl at the front desk as soon as she walks in.
It was her first day officially working at New Century, but it was not her first day working here. She had been interning at this company before during her senior year. Later she felt that it had great potential, so she decided to stay and successfully passed the interview.<
/p>
During the internship, Li Meng already knew Zhang Yuying at the front desk, so the two parties were no strangers.
"Hey, Xiaomeng, it's officially time to go to work today."
After the receptionist responded, her eyes drifted to Su Zelin next to Li Meng: "Good morning, director!"
The bastard has been promoted for two weeks and has been to the headquarters many times. She naturally remembers it.
"Director?"
Li Meng looked around, and there were only three people near the front desk. Apart from Zhang Yuying and herself, the only one beside her was the handsome guy.
"Director?"
Her eyes suddenly widened.
"Hey, don't you know each other yet?" Zhang Yuying took the initiative to introduce her: "Xiaomeng, this is Director Su, the COO of our new century!"
COO!
Li Meng took a breath.
She understands what this position represents.
In a large enterprise, the operations director is also a high-ranking presence among the top management.
And she happens to be in the operations department.
No way, our COO is so young!
I actually asked him just now if there were new people in the company. How embarrassing!
"I'm sorry, Director Su, I'm really sorry just now!"
Li Meng apologized repeatedly. She felt that she was too rude.
"Haha, it's okay,"
Su Zelin is used to this kind of misunderstanding, and of course he won't care about it.
"I am also from the operations department. I am new here. Please take care of me in the future."
"It's easy to say that they are all from the same department and everyone works together."
After leaving the front desk, Li Meng did not dare to walk side by side with Su Zeli, but fell slightly behind.
Li Meng still couldn't believe it when he heard that the employees he met along the way took the initiative to say hello to the gangster, calling the director one after another.
Although many talents have been recruited and poached, the basic structure is in place and the staff team at the headquarters has dozens of people.
However, some senior executives still wear multiple hats, such as Su Zelin's COO. In fact, if it is really broken down, it can be divided into author operations director ACOO, brand operations director BCOO, content operations director CCOO, user operations director UCOO, and another
Channel Operations Director COD.
But the company's scale has not reached that level, and there is no need to subdivide it for the time being, otherwise it will become bloated. Now Su Zelin can take over all the operations director's work.
Of course, as the business continues to develop, the team will continue to expand in the future.
Walking into the office area of the Operations Department, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"Boss!"
The affectionate nickname is different from the other employees I met just now, because these people are called so by Su Zelin's direct subordinates.
After taking office as COO, Su Zelin naturally had a new team around him.
It's not for nothing that he got a haircut. What he will often face in the future is no longer the group of college students at the Caiyuan Store, but this team.
Even the staff at the New Century Headquarters tend to be younger, but they are still young adults between 25 and 35. If you want to look like a quiet handsome man in a place like this, it is incompatible with your status.
, so that look has to say goodbye to the bastard.
"Senior, Director Su is so young. How did he become the operations director of our company?"
Li Meng whispered to an old employee sitting next to him whom he had known and had a good relationship with during his internship.
"Shh, lower your voice, don't talk nonsense, don't underestimate others, when the first store in the new century opened, the boss worked hard beside Mr. Yang, and he is really good!"
"..."
After staying in the operations department for a while, Su Zelin came to the boss's office and asked Kang Baohong for a report.
The sales for the back-to-school season have ended, and the managers of all directly-operated stores have sent their revenue during this period back to the headquarters. Su Zelin naturally needs to know about it.
"After joining the mobile phone business, the sales of all our stores have increased significantly, and the sales situation of the main store is particularly good. It is not limited to peak seasons and low seasons, and is stable every day!"
"Yesterday, another investor from Ningbo contacted us and expressed interest in joining the franchise. They will arrive in Lin'an within the next two days!"
"Mr. Yang flew to Shenzhen to find a manufacturer. He hopes to further lower the purchase price this semester!"
"..."
When Su Zelin was looking at the report, Kang Baohong also gave him a brief summary, which also reflected the situation in the new century in recent times.
Overall, everything is on a good track.
The mobile phone business has increased sales and profits, and with so many stores, the money earned in one back-to-school season is considerable.
In addition, with the continuous advertising campaign on TV, newspapers and other media, the name of this chain of digital stores has been completely spread in the province, and investors who are willing to join have appeared in various cities across the province.
, we have talked to three companies so far. The inspection team has learned about the situation in the past and found that they are basically behind-the-scenes sponsors with local backgrounds. Funding is not a problem and the scale of building a store on campus can be met, so they were all approved in the end.

The franchise fee is actually not very high, so that’s just fair.
New Century does not rely on franchise fees to make a fortune.
What is the most profitable thing?
Available!
The headquarters directly negotiates business with the manufacturer in the name of the company. Because of the large volume, it is easy to obtain profit concessions. Then other direct-operated stores and franchise stores have to uniformly obtain goods from the head office. In fact, this is still better than individual stores.
The agent offers better discounts when purchasing goods, so this is a win-win situation.
In a sense, it can be said that the franchise store is the dealer of New Century, except that New Century does not produce digital products itself, but only sells other people's products.
Su Zelin’s ultimate goal is to be the largest digital channel provider. When you have thousands of stores across the country, your channel will be huge. Even if the e-commerce era comes, you don’t have to worry about being
Eliminate.
To give a simple example, the well-known big blue and green manufacturers, while Dami has taken Internet marketing to great heights and other mobile phone brands have followed suit, the big blue and green manufacturers have taken a different approach, silently working hard on offline stores, and deploying to Even in small fourth- and fifth-tier cities, you can see their stores on every street, and there may even be several.
After the sluggishness of Internet marketing, the big blue and green manufacturers caught up, leaving rice behind and becoming one of the best mobile phone brands in Xia State. This is due to this store-by-store strategy.
Those stores located on every street and wherever consumers can see them form a powerful channel for big blue and green manufacturers.
This is the power of channels!
No matter how the market changes, those products that cannot keep up with the times will always be eliminated, but strong channels are not so eliminated.
ranwen
Because many brands even have to rely on large channels to sell their own products, it is not impossible for you to have a direct dialogue with the manufacturers at this time. For example, it is not impossible to ask for the unified online and offline retail prices of their products to ensure offline benefits. of.
What Su Zelin is building is just such a channel!
But you have to move quickly, and you must plan everything before the online shopping wave comes.
At this time next year, I will let New Century be blooming all over Zhejiang Province, with directly-operated stores and franchise stores opening in every big city in the province!
