Chapter 246 Working in the name of tourism
The days that followed began to become calm and comfortable, just like an ordinary summer vacation.
The wanderer who went out to study successfully got nagging from his mother once in the morning and once in the evening after being lazy for a week.
On July 7, the sweltering Jeju finally received a heavy rainfall, which dispelled the miserable high temperature. At that time, there was thunder over the city and huge raindrops fell to the ground.
After a while, the rainwater gathered on the road and turned into water, which was so fast that it was difficult to drink in the sewer.
Gu Ming was sitting in front of the computer at this time, tapping the keyboard with his fingers, and announced in the work group chat that the destination of the summer team building plan was Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Each city would last for 3 days, and everyone would gather together. Have fun!
The next second, his account was banned for a day.
Deng Xuanxuan: "I was so bold that I blocked my boss because I had an ominous premonition lingering in my heart."
Kou Jing: “If I remember correctly, these 4 cities seem to be the forefront of Douyin’s promotion plan.”
Liu Shuran: "Good guy, I feel like my summer vacation is over before it even begins."
Deng Xuanxuan: "It's scary to death. Fortunately, I blocked it quickly!"
Xu Yu: "It's useless to hurry up. The boss has asked me to buy tickets for you. We will leave tomorrow and we can meet in the evening."
Zhao Jing: "It's such a hot day, why can't the boss take us to a cooler place?"
Liu Shuran: “Cool places are not worth promoting, so we essentially go to work.”
Kou Jing: "I just received a notice that the boss asked us to bring our computers. If we don't bring them, we won't buy a return ticket."
Deng Xuanxuan: "Why doesn't he dare to come out and say this himself?!!"
Liu Shuran: "Because you are so cowardly, you banned the boss."
Gu Ming sat on a chair and looked at the incompetent and furious Deng Xuanxuan in the group, feeling very comfortable in his heart.
As a small programmer, trying to fight against himself, a capitalist, is simply a mantis trying to control the situation.
At this time, the sky outside the window was gloomy, and faint thunder kept coming. Raindrops also fell on the windowsill and kept splashing, creating a misty and rainy Jeju.
On July 7, a sunny day, Gu Ming took Zhou Xiaoyao to the airport and took the noon flight to Beijing.
Beijing is very hot in midsummer, and the air quality is also a bit poor. Taking a deep breath, you can obviously feel more of a grainy feeling. Gu Ming coughed twice and took Zhou Xiaoyao into a taxi. The road goes north.
Kou Jing and Xu Yu arrived one step ahead of time. They had already booked the hotel and were waiting at the door.
Deng Xuanxuan was also on her way to the hotel at this time, with excitement written on her face.
Although this trip was suspected of work, which made Deng Xuanxuan want to feel like a dragon roaring, after all, it was a faraway trip, and it was at public expense. It would be false to say that she wasn't even a little excited.
After a while, Gu Ming and Zhou Xiaoyao arrived at the hotel and met Kou Jing who was sitting in the lobby.
"Boss, boss lady, long time no see!"
"Long time no see, Kou Jing, how was your summer vacation?"
Kou Jing pondered for a moment: "It's okay, but it's a bit boring to stay at home for a long time. After all, it's summer, and there's no place to go. I can only stay at home. Fortunately, I can travel at public expense, otherwise I will definitely be disliked by my parents. .”
Zhao Jing was happy, thinking that all mothers in the world are really the same: "By the way, are the rooms ready? Take us to settle in first."
"Ok."
"Is everyone else here?"
"Deng Xuanxuan and Liu Shuran are already here and have just checked in. They are probably resting in the room. The others are probably still on the way."
Gu Ming carried the box and walked to the elevator door: "Can we all come at 5pm?"
Kou Jing turned on her phone and looked at the flight information sheet: "It should be about the same, but Yang Yang will land at 1:4, so it may take some time on the way."
"Then let's meet at 5:1 in my room. Let's go out for a walk in the evening."
In fact, there was nothing wrong with what Deng Xuanxuan and the others discussed in the group last night. Gu Ming's purpose of bringing them out this time was indeed not just for fun, but to examine the subsequent promotion environment.
After leaving school, Gu Ming's first choice is of course first-tier cities with more resources.
By deploying in first-tier cities, Gu Ming can gain access to more useful information and seek more solid cooperative relationships. Later, he can quickly move to second-tier and third-tier cities to get more help.
However, cross-city promotion cannot be achieved by imagination. Where should we start, what entry point should we start from, how should the policy adapt to the local market, and what are the differences in the business atmosphere and business models around the university town? These all need to be carried out on the spot. experiential.
Although it is the Ministry of Commerce and the Propaganda Department that carry out the promotion tasks, and logically speaking, it is enough to send them over, but it is actually these supervisors who control the direction.
As the leader of the team, Gu Ming didn't want everyone to walk with their eyes closed.
People in society have plenty of time to stay at promotion sites for a long time, but college students have no chance to come once school starts. Therefore, summer vacation is a good time to inspect the market.
This is the master of time management.
To be more precise, it should be called the time management master of employees!
As a good boss, of course you must learn to manage employees' spare time efficiently, otherwise you will never make a fortune in your life.
Gu Ming walked into the hotel room, put down his luggage, and then turned to the next door, intending to make sure his family was safe with Zhou Xiaoyao.
"Brother, hug me."
Zhou Xiaoyao took out his mobile phone and pulled out his address book, pushed Gu Ming to the bed, lightly kicked on his leather shoes, and got into Gu Ming's arms without saying a word.
This movement was smooth and fast, and Gu Ming didn't react until Zhou Xiaoyao's round butt sat on his lap.
"Why didn't you let me hold you when you were in the office?"
"shy."
Gu Ming had no choice but to hug her, encircling the fragrant and soft girl in his arms to prevent her from falling, and then smelled the elegant orchid fragrance on her body, and watched in silence for about an hour. TV show.
Regardless of the facts, for such a solid and solid friendship, perhaps only the allusion of Yu Boya throwing his zither to thank his close friend can be compared to it.
Gu Ming was thinking wildly when he suddenly felt a small hand touching the gap between the two of them. At this time, it had reached the lower abdomen. He was so frightened that he immediately grabbed the restless little hand. inside.
"Zhou Xiaoyao, what do you want to do?"
"I want to see your second phone."
"That phone is full of business secrets and no one can read it."
"Brother, look."
"This is absolutely not possible. Not to mention calling me brother, I can't even call you father!"
"..."
At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Yang, the last one to arrive, successfully checked in. After resting for half an hour, he was summoned to Gu Ming's room by Kou Jing.
But before coming, everyone had a small meeting when they met in the corridor to analyze what the boss was going to do.
In this trip called traveling, what percentage of the time is it really possible to travel?
Through everyone's understanding of the boss and the analysis of the boss's daily behavior patterns, everyone felt that they probably didn't even have a chance to go outside the Forbidden City in the past three days. Damn the boss, he is such a bitch!
"Huh? Why are you standing at the door and not going in?"
At this time, Gu Ming came out of Zhou Xiaoyao's room and looked at them with some confusion.
Liu Shuran coughed: "We were afraid that the landlady was inside. We originally planned to knock on the door first, but we didn't expect you to be in the landlady's room."
Gu Ming nodded and counted the number of people with his eyes: "Everyone is here, right? It's already afternoon. I think everyone is hungry. Let's find a place to eat first. Let's eat while I tell you. Check out the follow-up travel plans and enjoyment strategies.”
"Go and eat roast duck!"
"There are too many of us, so we have to divide the roast duck into several tables, and there are plenty of opportunities to eat it. Let's go and have the copper pot hotpot today."
Roast duck is too troublesome to eat. It has to be pinched and rolled. It is not satisfying and is a waste of time. It also does not have enough atmosphere, so it is not suitable for assigning tasks while eating.
The meat must be cooked in a hot copper pot, with sesame sauce and special fried chili oil. You can listen to the task assignment while picking up the meat with chopsticks, without any delay.
So, after Liu Shuran changed his clothes, a group of more than ten people walked out of the hotel and walked in the direction of the bright lights. Following the route they had checked online, they came to an old Beijing copper pot restaurant called Qian Row Back Row. Shabu Shabu shop.
Traveling at public expense and eating and drinking at public expense, Deng Xuanxuan and Yang Yang were not polite to their boss at all and acted extremely viciously.
Soon, the copper pot was boiled by charcoal fire, and various meat slices were put into the pot. Gu Ming also saw the opportunity for everyone to start eating, and began to assign travel tasks in a hurry.
"There are two nationally renowned universities near us, which happen to be door-to-door. Tomorrow's tour will be divided into two groups. I, Deng Xuanxuan, and Kou Jing will be in one group, and Zhao Jing and Liu Shuran will be in another group. The rest will allocate themselves."
“The purpose of our trip this time is to find out the on-campus commercial streets of these two universities, and to study the entry points for later promotion.”
"You have to remember that this entry point is not for the promotion of Zhihu. It can also be analyzed from the perspective of group buying, because the group buying will also be promoted locally according to the steps of Douyin in the later stage, so you need to make two records."
"In addition, you need to understand the prices, rents and profits on campus, and talk to more merchants."
"Another point is to conduct a questionnaire survey among merchant groups. The content of the questionnaire includes opinions on online consumption and door-to-door delivery. I have already completed the questionnaire and will just print it out and distribute it tomorrow."
After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
Boss, boss, do you call this tourism?What kind of tourism is this?
There is so much work to do in three days, even if Xiangzi came, he would not be able to bear it.
"Boss, do you have morals?"
"It doesn't matter whether I have morals or not, as long as you have them, come on, I'll give our treasured female programmer a piece of meat."
Gu Ming took a piece of meat and put it in Deng Xuanxuan's bowl: "Eat an extra point, so you will have enough energy to travel tomorrow."
Yang Yang picked up the bowl and came over: "Boss, I want it too!"
"Okay, I'll give you some meat, does anyone else want it?"
Zhou Xiaoyao tugged on Gu Ming's sleeve: "There's me too, I want it too."
Gu Ming also gave her a piece of meat: "Let's try to be more efficient tomorrow. After finishing work 1, the rest will be time for fun. I'm excited just thinking about it. Then I can take you to see the flag raising and then visit the Forbidden City. You can also go to Wangfujing for a lap, and if you still have time, maybe you can go to Badaling to climb the Great Wall!”
Liu Shuran pursed his lips: "Climbing the Great Wall seems like taking a long-distance bus. Boss, please change it to the Olympic Park. I want to see the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube."
"Yes, as long as the work is completed to a high degree, you can go wherever you want. Come on, comrades, I'll grab a spoonful of dried meat here first, you can do whatever you want."
As Gu Ming spoke, he picked up the colander and scooped up all the freshly cooked meat slices. Seeing this, the outstanding core employees immediately stretched out their chopsticks to grab it. In the end, only a few slices of ginger and a pile of peppercorns were left.
After more than an hour, everyone had almost eaten, so they turned back to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow's "travel".
Zhao Jing and Kou Jing borrowed the hotel's printer to print out the questionnaire, while the others were assigned their own tasks and began to plan tomorrow's actions.
"I think few people are willing to sit down and take the questionnaire. If they fill it in blindly, it may affect their judgment. Should we give some money as a reward?" Yang Yang raised his hand to speak.
Gu Ming nodded after listening: "Well, Yang Yang's idea is very good, money is the first driving force."
Liu Shuran couldn't help but said: "Boss, I also have an idea. The areas of these two schools are too big. We are new here and are not familiar with the place. It is easy to waste time. Should we hire a student who has stayed at the school to help us?" Shall we be a tour guide?”
"Okay, I'll leave this to you."
"Okay, I'll go to their school's post bar for a spin."
Gu Ming couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly as he looked at these two young men with endless inspiration.
Why does he like to use college students as core employees?It’s just because after dinner on a business trip, people won’t clamor to find a place to wash their feet. Such simple quality is so touching.
Not long after, Kou Jing and Zhao Jing came back with a pile of questionnaires. Gu Ming arranged for them to go through them first to familiarize themselves with the questions, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Tomorrow is tight and the tasks are heavy, so a good rest is the best thing to do.
So, everyone left Gu Ming's room one after another until they were all gone, and only he and Zhou Xiaoyao were left in the room.
"Zhou Xiaoyao, it's time to go back to sleep."
"I want to watch TV here for a while."
"Then you accidentally fell asleep while watching it, right?"
Zhou Xiaoyao's eyelashes trembled slightly, thinking that the big bear was getting smarter and smarter, and it seemed that it was not easy to trick him, so he put down the remote control and got out of bed: "Then I'll go back to sleep first."
Gu Ming sighed, thinking that Zhou Xiaoyao seemed to be getting smarter and smarter, and even a little bad at learning.
The next morning, it was sunny and sunny.
Everyone started from the hotel, met up with the hired on-campus tour guides, and entered the two universities in a grand manner.
Because it is summer, there are countless high school tour groups from all over the country visiting Qingbei, making the entire campus extremely lively. There are even stalls selling food, drinks, mineral water and various cultural and creative products along both sides of the bridge, which is as long as a market. , the business atmosphere is extremely strong.
Maybe every parent will ask their children when they were young, do you want to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University when you grow up? And these children have also struggled seriously, not knowing which one to choose.
In the end, regardless of whether he was admitted or not, this sentence was spread by word of mouth and successfully turned these two universities into lively attractions.
"There can be so many people during summer vacation?"
"It seems we came to the right place this time."
Gu Ming stepped into Tsinghua University and stood at the entrance, raising his arms and waving, telling everyone to go separately to save time.
Kou Jing took Wen Jinrui to investigate the merchants and find out the consumption situation here, while Deng Xuanxuan and Yue Qian went to connect with the campus clubs and distribute questionnaires. Gu Ming took Zhou Xiaoyao for a while on campus. stroll.
Midsummer in mid-July is the hottest period of the year. The high temperature can reach around 7 degrees. You will feel like you are sweating like rain after just two steps. But even if you don’t stop for a moment, if you want to finish the tour roughly, It also takes one day to build a university campus.
Boss Gu and his wife were just walking along, following the direction of the visitors.
In a strange city and a strange campus, Zhou Xiaoyao was full of curiosity about everything in front of him. He kept walking forward, his eyes moving and his steps moving.
Gu Ming 1 started to walk in front with his chest raised and his head raised, his steps full of power, but soon he was being dragged along by Zhou Xiaoyao.
The two schools in Qingbei should be the schools with the most assets in the country. They are so rich, but they are still reluctant to install an air conditioner outside. They are really stingy.
Gu Ming wiped his sweat and grabbed her when he came across the next stall location.
At that time, in front of them was a basketball court blocked by an iron net. Many shirtless international students were playing basketball. Their abdominal muscles were undulating and their sweat was shining in the sun. They were so sexy. .
"Don't look at it. It's not a good thing. It will hurt your eyes if you look at it too much."
Gu Ming covered Zhou Xiaoyao's eyes with a serious face, then reached out and picked up a fan cap from a nearby stall.
This is a product that has been active on campus since the turn of the millennium. The whole body is probably made of plastic, and a hole is cut out in the front of the hat, which is like a small motor built into a 1-wheel drive car. thing, and then installed a fan blade on the front end.
The higher-end upgrades not only have a motor fan, but also a pair of sunglasses on the front, which can be pushed up or pulled down.
Gu Ming thought for a while, picked up a pink hat from the stall, turned on the fan and put it on Zhou Xiaoyao's head.
Because wearing a hat requires both hands, when Gu Ming removed his hand covering his eyes, Zhou Xiaoyao raised his hands very consciously and covered his eyes.
She is wearing a long black dress today, revealing her crystal collarbones. She looks stunning from a distance, and her whole temperament is cool and silly. She also wears a pink hat, which makes her look weird.
Great, this would be much uglier.
Gu Ming bared his teeth and smiled, and found that the eyes that were staring at Zhou Xiaoyao had indeed shifted.
"Is it cool?"
"Cool."
Gu Ming took out Genhuazi from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner: "Boss, it's a big business. Get me 3 more. I want brand new ones."
