Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

The morning sun shines through the spacious and bright French windows, gently pouring into Jiang Ciyou's new office in a high-end office building in the city center. The view here is excellent, and the hustle and bustle of the bustling city is in full view, but Jiang Ciyou has no time to appreciate the view at the moment, she is concentrating on reading the pile of business materials in front of her.

"Ciyou, have a cup of coffee first, don't tire yourself out." Lu Jingchen pushed the door open, holding a cup of steaming latte in his hand. His voice was low and gentle, with just the right amount of concern. Jiang Ciyou raised her head and gave him a tired but grateful smile. She took the coffee and took a sip. The aroma of the coffee instantly spread in her mouth, dispelling some of her tiredness.

Since she decided to join the fiercely competitive business world, Jiang Ciyou has been working day and night like this. She is well aware of her lack of business knowledge, so she started from the most basic business principles. She has repeatedly read thick professional books and analyzed various industry reports word by word, not missing any details that may contain business opportunities. In order to gain a deeper understanding of market demand, she visited large and small companies in person despite the hard work. In those days, she traveled to every corner of the city, whether it was a vibrant small company in an emerging entrepreneurial park or a calm and majestic large company in an old commercial building.

In a large-scale manufacturing company, Jiang Ciyou, wearing a simple and capable professional suit, sat with the busy front-line employees in the workshop. She looked at everyone sincerely and said softly: "Masters, I want to know, in your daily work, what do you think is the most troubling problem when using the existing environmental protection equipment in actual use?" An old master with gray hair pushed his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and frowned and said: "Ms. Jiang, take our workshop as an example. The environmental protection equipment we use now consumes too much energy. We run the machine every day, and the electric meter turns faster than the second hand in my house. The cost is rising. It is also troublesome to operate. It is easy to malfunction if you are not careful." Other employees also nodded, and they talked about the actual problems one by one. Jiang Ciyou carefully wrote down these words, and the outline of market demand became clearer in his mind.

And Lu Jingchen, a key figure with extensive connections in the business circle, has always been silently supporting Jiang Ciyou behind the scenes. He used the connections he had accumulated over the years to carefully match Jiang Ciyou with a senior business consultant, Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin has been working in the business field for decades and has extremely rich experience and keen market insight. When they first met, Mr. Lin looked at the young woman with a firm look in his eyes, nodded slightly, and his eyes were full of praise: "Xiao Jiang, I heard Jingchen talk about your situation. You are determined and courageous, which are rare qualities in the business world." Jiang Ciyou said respectfully: "Mr. Lin, I am new to this business and I don’t understand many things. I hope you can give me more advice."

In the following days, Mr. Lin taught Jiang Ciyou everything he knew. They often sat in the conference room for a whole day, from market trend analysis to business model construction, from marketing strategy formulation to risk management skills, Mr. Lin patiently explained every key knowledge point. Jiang Ciyou absorbed this knowledge eagerly, and asked questions immediately when he encountered something he didn't understand. Once, when discussing market segmentation strategies, Jiang Ciyou frowned and asked: "Mr. Lin, I understand the importance of market segmentation, but how can we accurately find the target market segment for our products?" Mr. Lin smiled and pointed to the market research notes that Jiang Ciyou had made before, and said: "Xiao Jiang, look at the information you collected when you visited the company before. Analyze from multiple dimensions such as customer demand pain points, consumption capacity, and industry characteristics, you can gradually outline the outline of the target market segment." Jiang Ciyou suddenly realized and quickly picked up a pen to write it down in a notebook.

Under the careful guidance of Mr. Lin, Jiang Ciyou began to work on her own business plan. She sat at her desk every day, lost in thought over the dense data and information on the computer screen. After countless analyses, screenings and integrations, she keenly realized that there was huge potential in the emerging field of environmental protection technology. Today, with the increasing attention paid to environmental protection in society, the demand for efficient and convenient environmental protection equipment is growing, both for businesses and families. Jiang Ciyou seemed to see a blue ocean of business opportunities, and she decided to use this as a breakthrough for her career.

In order to further verify his ideas, Jiang Ciyou led the team to conduct more in-depth market research. They visited major environmental research institutions and discussed cutting-edge technology trends with experts; participated in various environmental industry exhibitions to understand the existing products and competitive situation in the market; and collected a large number of consumers' expectations and needs for environmentally friendly products through online questionnaires. At an environmental technology seminar, Jiang Ciyou met Professor Li, an expert who has made great achievements in environmental material research. The two had a good chat, and Jiang Ciyou elaborated on his insights and business plans in the field of environmental technology to Professor Li in detail. After listening to Professor Li, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Ms. Jiang, your ideas are very forward-looking. At present, there is indeed a lot of room for improvement in the application of energy-saving materials in environmental protection equipment. If a breakthrough can be made in this regard, the market prospects will be unlimited." Jiang Ciyou was deeply encouraged and exchanged contact information with Professor Li, hoping to cooperate in the future.

After returning to the company, Jiang Ciyou immediately organized a meeting with team members. She stood in front of the projector in the conference room and said with a firm look: "Dear partners, after this period of research and analysis, I think we have found an excellent development opportunity in the field of environmental protection technology. We want to develop a series of environmental protection equipment that is energy-efficient and easy to operate to meet the needs of families and businesses. Next, we need to clarify our respective division of labor and go all out into the project." The team members nodded one after another, with excitement and anticipation in their eyes. Mr. Wang, the head of the technical research and development department, stood up and said confidently: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry about research and development. Our team will definitely overcome technical difficulties and create the best quality products." Xiao Li from the marketing department also spoke actively: "Mr. Jiang, leave the marketing to us. We will develop a comprehensive and targeted promotion plan to quickly open up the market for our products."

However, the road to entrepreneurship is never smooth. At the beginning of the project, there was a problem of capital shortage. The research and development of environmental protection equipment requires a lot of funds to be invested in technology research and development, equipment procurement, personnel training, etc., and Jiang Ciyou's current capital reserves are far from enough. She fell into anxiety and frowned all day long. Lu Jingchen saw it and felt pain in his heart. He comforted Jiang Ciyou and said, "Ciyou, don't be too anxious. Let's find a way together. I know some friends in the investment community. I will communicate with them to see if there is any possibility of investment." At the same time, Jiang Ciyou also actively communicated with the bank to apply for a start-up loan. She prepared a detailed business plan and financial budget, and patiently introduced the prospects and feasibility of the project to the bank staff. After many rounds of communication and review, the bank finally agreed to provide her with a considerable amount of loans, temporarily alleviating the financial pressure.

After the funding problem was solved, the research and development work was officially launched in full swing. The members of the R&D team worked day and night in the laboratory, and the buzzing sounds of various instruments and equipment were intertwined. They kept trying new technical solutions and material combinations, and experienced failure again and again. Once, when testing the performance of a new energy-saving material, it was found that its actual energy-saving effect was far lower than expected. Engineer Wang looked at the experimental data in frustration and said to Jiang Ciyou: "Mr. Jiang, this experiment failed again. This material doesn't work. We have to look for other solutions again." Jiang Ciyou patted Engineer Wang on the shoulder and encouraged: "Engineer Wang, don't be discouraged. Failure is the mother of success. Every failure is a step closer to success. Let's analyze the problem carefully together and we will definitely find a solution." With the encouragement of Jiang Ciyou, the team members cheered up again. They consulted a large number of professional literatures and invited experts in the industry for guidance. After countless improvements and optimizations, they finally made a preliminary breakthrough in a core technology.

As the research and development work progressed, the prototype of the product gradually emerged. Jiang Ciyou looked at the slightly rough environmental protection equipment prototype in the laboratory, which embodied countless efforts of everyone, and felt a sense of accomplishment. But she also knew that this was just the beginning, and there was still a long and difficult road to go, including product optimization, production, marketing, etc. However, Jiang Ciyou had no intention of retreating. She knew that she had embarked on a road full of challenges but also full of hope. She would move forward with her team members with firm beliefs to meet every challenge in the future, strive to realize her business dream, and open a new chapter in her life.
