What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 87 Information Value (5k)

The first valuable post was downvoted.

Yu Xing was surprised but not angry.

It's very simple. Since the website is just a start-up, and the classmate with the ID "Hao Yuanliang" doesn't know Liu Qiangdong as well as I do, it is normal for him to have doubts.

Taking a step back, why bother with a college student like him?
Yu Xing’s previous project sold 260 million yuan entirely thanks to the love of college students. Now this project wants them to give full play to their energy, so naturally he loves them even more and is the first to share good things with them.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Yu Xing replied to the first user, stating the source of the news: I asked Liu Qiangdong, it is true.

Soon, "Hao Yuanliang" criticized: Why didn't you say you asked Ma Dian? ?

This was followed by a number of questions.

Yu Xing did not reply, but walked out of the office and told the programmer: "Brother Yan, please add a function that prevents the deletion of comments in 'Featured Posts'. Once a post is set as a Featured Post, the user can no longer delete his comments."

Yan Haoran agreed, this function was not difficult.

Yu Xing returned to the office with satisfaction and collected the evidence!
This is what drives product features!

At noon, Song Yufeng went out to buy four whiteboards, one for each of the three offices and the outer office area. Lu Haiying also received a reply that 13 college students from nearby campuses would come to work part-time at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Haiying's work is going very smoothly. She plans to recruit 50 people tomorrow, and she can add more people if someone quits later.

Bai Xiaosheng offers interns a part-time salary of RMB 7.5 a day, and they are expected to work for half a month, spend RMB 8 to 19200, and complete a follow-up visit to former customers.

That's about 26 calls per person per day.

If a phone call lasts for 5 minutes, the total pure call time per day is 130 minutes. However, it is impossible for every call to go smoothly, so the actual call time will be reduced a lot.

Compared to ordinary telemarketing jobs that require at least 200 calls a day, this part-time job is relatively easy.

Taking into consideration that the former clients should have just joined the company, Lv Haiying requested that part-time calls be made at noon and in the evening so as not to disturb everyone's normal work. This can be regarded as a real social survey activity.

Guiai.com used to conduct social surveys in schools, but now it is called not forgetting the original intention!
At 13: in the afternoon, Lv Haiying hurried back and sorted out the contact information of former clients, preparing to distribute them to today's part-time college students.

In the following half hour, college students contacted through the intermediary came one after another and walked into the headquarters of Bai Xiaosheng Company.

The name Bai Xiaosheng may not sound very serious, but almost all college students know the general meaning behind it. After hearing Lv Haiying’s simple explanation, they understand the nature of the company and the website better, and also understand the current focus.

A college student asked: "Can I get paid on a daily basis?"

The key point now is to get the money from the part-time job. Otherwise, who knows if I can still find this company in half a month...

Lv Haiying answered concisely and firmly: "Of course! Not only can I get paid on a daily basis, but if the feedback from this survey is good, the company will also give me a red envelope."

College students put aside some of their worries.

At exactly two o'clock, Yu Xing walked out of the office. Feeling that the space in the conference room was a bit small, he explained the specific operations of this part-time job directly outside.

"Classmates, I am Yu Xing, the founder of the company. As you can see, the company was established not long ago."

Yu Xing pointed to the empty workstations and slightly messy tables in the company and said with a smile: "However, this is not my first time starting a business. I started a company called Guiai.com in June this year and sold it to a large company at the end of October for more than 2 million."

Not only the part-time college student couldn't help but exclaimed, the four employees who had been listening silently also had the news confirmed in person by him, and their emotions fluctuated.

"The reason why the previous company was sold to a large company after only three months of operation was because it had its own important value. This company also has great value and potential. If you want to work formally in the future, you can consider coming to our company for a try."

"The reason I'm giving you this assignment is actually largely because I've noticed that the employment environment and opportunities for our college students have changed a lot."

"If it were an ordinary college student, he would be dumbfounded and at a loss when faced with such changes. His original offer was cancelled, his internship was frozen, and his internal referrals stopped working. He would be completely devastated."

"Especially, this is not just a matter for one person."

"I thought about it carefully, and I think we can do some valuable work, and do some work to help our own people."

Yu Xing gave meaning to part-time jobs, and then looked at the 13 part-time college students in front of him and promised: "I will publish the information and opportunities of various companies that you get in the next half month on the website free of charge."

“So, I hope that everyone is not just doing this for the money, but also doing something for many senior brothers and sisters, and try to be serious every time you contact them and try to get as much information as possible.”

Yu Xing spoke very sincerely.

The four employees did not have too many emotions, but it was different for the 13 part-time college students. They could understand the panic about the employment environment after the financial crisis, and their emotions were immediately ignited.

“My internship is gone…”

"Oh, don't worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely make this call seriously, not for the money, but to help everyone!"

"Several companies in our school have cancelled their campus recruitment this year!"

Yu Xing listened to everyone's unconscious discussions and feedback, stretched out his hand to press in the air, and said seriously: "The book says, love your own children, and the children of others. I am older than you. I should have been in my second year of graduate school at this time this year, but now I feel I have some spare energy, so I'm doing this."

"But don't be too depressed. I don't know if you've noticed that the government will hold a meeting on the 5th of this month and will take a series of measures to expand domestic demand and promote economic growth. The financial crisis will ease."

"We just need to do the things at hand, such as having an effective telephone conversation."

Yu Xing walked to the whiteboard, took a pen and wrote a "1" on it, saying as he wrote: "As soon as we get on the phone, we must immediately identify ourselves and state the benefits we can provide to the other party."

"Just say that you are here to follow up on the relationship contract and inform them that the execution of the contract has been transferred from Guiai.com to Zhenai.com."

"But you must be polite. Men should call you senior brother and women should call you senior sister."

"Everyone is wary of strangers with unknown numbers, but when we tell them we are our juniors, they will be more patient."

Yu Xing is now very patient when facing his younger classmates and guides them on the details of telephone communications.

At this point he added: "I'll make a phone call later and turn on the speakerphone, so you can listen to what I'm saying."

Afterwards, Yu Xing reached out and wrote "2" on the whiteboard, and continued: "Our communication is actually not complicated. After we can initially open the link with our seniors, we can ask directly and politely."

"For example, hey, senior, I want to ask, what company are you working for now, what is the starting salary, and are there any internship or recruitment changes?"

Yu Xing spread his hands: "Just be direct like this, no need to beat around the bush, because if this brother is unwilling to help and unwilling to disclose information, we still have the remaining 20,000 brothers and sisters."

"The most important thing is to ask. As long as you dare to ask, you will succeed 90% of the time."

Lu Haiying, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but agree secretly in her heart. Like her senior, she knew the working conditions of college students. Even though some of them were top students, they were really embarrassed to communicate with others.

These things are common when Guiai.com is promoting its business. Some can be overcome and then grow rapidly, but some are always difficult to overcome and the only option is to resign.

"Let me make a call." Yu Xing pointed to the part-time college student closest to him, "Use your identity. Which university are you from? What's your name?"

The college student replied: "I am Yu Jizhang from Shanghai Sports University!"

While dialing the number, Yu Xing asked curiously, "Upper body? What's your major?"

Yu Jizhang said, "Uh!" and said, "Marketing!"

He seemed to have experienced similar puzzled expressions many times before, and then added: "Shanghai University also has a School of Economics and Management!"

Yu Xing nodded repeatedly, signaling everyone to keep quiet, and turned on the speaker of his cell phone.

Toot, toot, toot.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey, hello, senior brother." Yu Xing greeted him enthusiastically and said quickly, "I'm informing you that the love contract you bought on Guiai.com has been transferred to Zhenai.com for redemption." The person on the other end of the phone was at a loss for a few seconds and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Guiai.com was acquired by Zhenai.com, and all contract exchanges were handled by that side. I was responsible for notifying them of this situation," Yu Xing explained.

The person on the other end of the phone said helplessly: "What kind of website is Zhenai.com? Has it run away? I told you it's unreliable..."

Yu Xing explained again: "Zhenai.com is one of the top three companies in the industry. They are not running away. They are also optimistic about this market, so they spent money to acquire it."

"Oh, okay, I get it." The person on the other end of the line seemed to be done.

"Hey, senior, I'm Yu Jizhang from Shanghai Sports University. I'm a junior this year and will start looking for a job soon." Yu Xing finally revealed his identity at this moment. "Can I ask about your salary? Does the company have any job or internship opportunities? Thank you, senior."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, then he asked, "What's your major?"

Yu Xing replied: "I'm in marketing."

“Marketing? Aren’t you from Shanghai Sport University?” a question came from the phone.

Yu Xing said vividly: "Shencheng Sports University also has a School of Economics and Management!"

Really·Yu Jizhan couldn't help but smile silently and covered his face. Senior brother, there is no need to imitate his tone so closely, right?
"Uh, okay, marketing, this..." the voice on the phone said, "I'm in IT, I joined VIA, you may not know, I'm in Lin'an, and I really haven't heard of any suitable positions for marketing."

Yu Xing wrote down the key words "Lin'an VIA Corporation, IT" on the whiteboard and asked, "Brother, how is your salary now? My girlfriend works in IT."

"Oh, your girlfriend is, um, VIA's salary is about 6000 yuan before tax, 13 months of salary a year." The detailed figures were given on the phone, "This is the salary in Lin'an. If your girlfriend is in Shanghai, the starting salary of VIA in Shanghai should be 7500 yuan, also 13 months of salary, but I heard that Shanghai does not provide dormitories, which is quite critical."

Yu Xing thanked his senior brother repeatedly and gave a final recommendation before ending the call: "Senior brother, there is a website called 'Bai Xiaosheng' recently. I am also looking for information on job benefits and opportunities in this area. You can also take a look."

He hung up the phone and pointed to the key information he had taken from the call on the whiteboard.

——IT, Lin’an VIA Technologies, 6000*13.

——IT, VIA Technologies, Shanghai, 7500*13, no dormitory provided.

Yu Xing said with some regret: "I have asked about the salary level of this company, but unfortunately, there are no recruitment and internship opportunities."

Yu Ji Zhang couldn't help but say: "Brother, this is already great!!"

Yu Xing nodded slightly: "There is some salary information, which is of some value. It can be left as a reference for everyone."

At this time, another part-time college student asked: "Brother, um, I understand what you mean. This information will be shared on the website. What if the brother I called doesn't want to share it? Or what if the company he works for requires confidentiality?"

He paused and said cautiously, "After all, this is a private call."

As soon as this sentence was uttered, some college students who were slow to react realized that, yes, what this Senior Brother Yu taught was to use one's own name to ask questions.

If you don't do this, if you ask directly in the name of the Bai Xiaosheng website, it probably won't be so smooth.

But isn’t this a little bit disgraceful?
Yu Xing smiled and replied: "Even if they are angry, they will not scold you, but our website. But I think it is meaningful for us to share this kind of information with students for free."

"If they want to scold, then just scold me."

He pointed to the whiteboard again and said, "I hope that the company can do meaningful things now and in the future."

Yu Xing was very calm and not afraid of being scolded.

This attitude and the meaning of his work suppressed the emotions of the part-time college student.

Yu Xing concluded: "Like the inquiry I just made, this is actually not difficult. The company will continue to recruit people to do this. You may only get one or two pieces of useful information, but when you add them up, you will get hundreds or thousands of pieces of information for reference across the country."

"You can refer to it. Your classmates, friends, and fellow students can refer to it. More students who are about to leave the campus can also refer to it. Even seniors who have already joined the workforce and want to find better opportunities can also refer to it."

"So, does anyone have any questions?"

Yu Xing glanced around and heard no more questions from the part-time college students.

He pointed at Lu Haiying and signaled his second-in-command to distribute the contact information of former clients.

After another half an hour of work, everything was ready, but the real start would not be until after five o'clock.

Yu Xing briefly talked about the key points and statistical methods of the information, and then he and Lu Haiying sent the 13 college students out.

"The money spent is well worth it." Lu Haiying said this as she watched the college students leave.

"Well, it's worth it." Yu Xing smiled, "We bought some of their time at noon and in the evening, and also bought their identities."

If calculated based on hourly wages, the cost of part-time work is quite high, but it's not just about spending money to buy time.

"The phone bills for these 13 people must be reimbursed." Lv Haiying thought for a moment and said, "I'll go buy a batch of phone cards later. This will be more cost-effective."

Yu Xing nodded: "We can continue to update valuable information on the website tonight."

Just like the previous Guiai.com, it is naturally easier for college students to collect information. Even if they have little experience, it will not be too difficult to do. On the contrary, their college students' immaturity may make it easier for them to obtain information from their seniors.

Sure enough, from five o'clock in the afternoon to eight o'clock in the evening, information from 13 part-time college students was summarized one after another and quickly shared on Bai Xiaosheng's workplace world.

——Lin’an VIA Technologies, IT, 6000*13; Shencheng VIA Technologies, 7500*13, no dormitory provided.

——IBM, sales, training period 6-9 months, undergraduate 4800, graduate 6000 (subsidy: the company sets up an account for each employee and deposits 15% of the employee's salary every month. The employee can withdraw the money in the account after working for three years. After three years, if the employee continues to stay at IBM, the company will continue to deposit money until 10).

——Morgan Stanley, IT, $18 a year, bonus depends on performance.

——Cisco, sales, monthly salary 7000, opportunity to study abroad.

——Huawei, undergraduate 4500, monthly subsidy 1000, graduate student subsidy 2000, and bonus for 3-8 months at the end of the year.

——China Electronics Technology Institute No. 14 claimed that it had more than Huawei, but it was only more at the beginning and could not compare with it later.

——Institute of Optoelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, salary of 5500 yuan for a master's degree, and Beijing household registration.

——Penguin, the annual salary for undergraduates in general positions is 7 yuan, and for postgraduates it is 10 yuan. The treatment for different positions is different. For the newly established research institutes, you can negotiate the treatment with HR separately.

Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Xiaosheng No. 2, and Bai Xiaosheng No. 3 all came out to post and share information. The most common thing among them was salary and benefits. After all, it is difficult for newly employed employees to know the latest changes in recruitment and internship opportunities.

But even so, as Bai Xiaosheng's "Career World" page was gradually filled with information, the website's users also began to register.

At seven o'clock, the number of registered users displayed in the background was 139.

At eight o'clock, the number became 338.

At ten o'clock, the number of registered users of Bai Xiaosheng exceeded 1000.

"We haven't bought any ads or done any large-scale promotion. I just posted some random posts on Tieba and Xiaonei.com..." Song Yufeng sat at his workstation from day till late at night, but when he came out he just wanted to dance with joy. "This is their spontaneous dissemination!"

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Everyone wants to refer to it, which is normal. The information is valuable and they can all see it."

Song Yufeng rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, unable to hide his excitement, and said: "Oh my god, why do I feel like the website is really done!"

Yu Xing laughed: "It's just the beginning."

Song Yufeng was excited: "There are more revelations waiting to be revealed!"

He is already thirsty for articles!!
