  Chapter 81: Sed Half-Price Offer

  TL: Etude

  “Gosh, such a gra. Did Liu really i eighty thousand?”

  “Looking at this scale, eighty thousand seems abht.”

  “Good heavens, how many cups of milk tea must he sell to make that back? Liu is really going all out!”

  “Why bother about that? If it really takes off, a steady ine be satisfying too!”

  Merts stood shoulder to shoulder, p as they watched students buy milk tea at the entrance, each starting to calcute their own profits.

  Even they hadn’t realized that although they had previously fantasized about the money being wasted, they were now sidering the sustained ier the promotion.

  That’s because the feel of online and offline advertising be vastly different.

  Take these servative-minded merts, for example. A banner ad online might not be as eye-catg as a two-meter-tall PVC board right in front of them — tangible and visible.

  This felt simir to the early years of online shopping, where many were resistant due to not being able to see the product. But ohey uood the veniend speed, perceptions ged.

  Jiang Qin wao create an atmosphere that would trao a sense of trust.

  Don’t think your iment has just turned into a string of digital codes.

  I will hang advertising banners and pull up streamers for you!

  Doesn’t that instantly raise the ceremonial feel?

  Meanwhile, teachers in the office were also discussing the leaderboard they saw outside the window.

  “This event is quite impressive!”

  “Yes, it was small-scale a few days ago, but today, it feels like a major event. I’m even curious about who will win the ‘Campus Beauty’ title.”

  “I heard that a freshman from the Finance Department started this website?”

  “From the Finance Department, yes, but a freshman? That’s unlikely. The military training just ended; could a freshman anize such a big event?”

  “Regardless of whether it’s a freshman, the person behind this website must be very insightful. They’ve tightly ied traffid products: using the ‘Campus Beauty’ test to drive traffic, using traffic to promote products, and then using products to further stir i. It’s brilliant.”

  “It seems brilliant now, but the initial iment must have been signifit. So capable a so mysterious. When did our uy get such a student?”

  As the Xi Tian Milk Tea shop fis preparations, the voting el on the forum also opened on time.

  Dong Wenhao’s warm-up activities had a good effect. By two iernoon, the website was bustling with activity, with a massive increase in threads, almost crashing the server.

  The initial posts about choosing the ‘Campus Beauty’ were not enough!

  There were endless arguments; everyone believed their idol was the most beautiful.

  But now it was different. With clear data, it was time to pete based on popurity.

  Even if some were indifferent about who became the ‘Campus Beauty’, there would always be a few zealous friends dragging them to vote. What choice did they have?

  Iingly, the forum’s voting rules allowed each person three votes per day, but not for the same person.

  This led to dilemmas: after voting for our department’s goddess, who should receive my other two votes?

  Some loyal fans might choose not to vote for anyone else, devoted to their idol, but most would opt to cast all their votes, even supp beauties from other departments.

  “Engineering folks, vote for Wu Meng. Show them our department isn’t just a monk’s temple!”

  “rades, stop flipping. I’ve posted a link; it leads directly to Liu Yiyi’s voting page!”

  “I don’t care about the rest; just go drink milk tea. I want Fang Xuan’s limited edition milk tea cup!”

  “Why is Xi Tian only in our uy? It’s so unfriendly to students from the East Campus. Thumbs down!”

  “I want Chu Siqi’s limited edition milk tea cup, please!”

  In the m, Jiang Qin was monit the data in room 208. He watched as Liu Yiyi, Chu Siqi, Hong Yan, Wu Meng, Sun Xiaoyu, Fang Xuan, and Liu Tian’s flower ts broke through two hundred, smoothly entering the didate zone. Meanwhile, others were closely following, pushing their way to the front ranks.

  These girls, being the most popur in their respective departments, were expected to quickly rack up the numbers.

  Suddenly, there was a kno the door. Jiang Qin’s gaze shifted from the puter s to the door, where a woman with gsses and a bun hairstyle peeked in.

  “Hello, I’m the manager of the Bein Dessert Shop in Front Square. I p advertisement?”

  “Please, e in.”

  Jiang Qiured to a chair and summoan Qing to attend to this potential t.

  “Big sister, our website currently offers a 20% dist on advertising. The main page banner promotion is 19,999, sedary page 9,999, and carousel small image 5,999. Prices are iable, and there’s a half-price offer on the sed purchase,” Tan Qing expined skillfully.

  “Half price for the sed purchase?”

  Tan Qing nodded early, “For instance, if you find the ad effective and wish to pce a sed ohat would be half the inal price.”

  The manager of Bein Desserts pondered, “ I get half price for the first one?”

  “That’s not how it works. Our promotion is as stated. Unless…”

  Jiang Qin suddenly patted Tan Qing on the shoulder, interrupting her. He then lowered his voice to the manager, “If y a neighb mert to advertise with us, wouldn’t that t as your sed purchase?”

  The manager appeared thoughtful, then pulled out her phone and stepped outside to make a call.

  Tan Qing looked up at Jiang Qin, “Boss, is this okay?”

  “The website is just starting. Rules are not set in stone; we o be flexible.”

  “Okay.”

  “These days, we’ll likely see many such merts. They might not all io advertise; some may just inquire and leave. Be patient and don’t rush them,” Jiang Qin advised.

  Tan Qing pursed her lips, “Uood, boss. I’ll ha carefully.”

  Jiang Qin gave her an encing look, the room 208 auro the Xi Tian Milk Tea shop in Front Square.

  The previously deserted tea shop was now bustling with a queue, partly drawn by the billboards and partly by the forum advertisements.

  People adhered to the principle of ‘since I’m here, I might as well’, and the orders steadily increased.

  Fang Xiaoxuan was bustling about in the shop, sweating but still moving effitly.

  “I support Fang Xuan from the Media Department. Whoever votes for her, I’ll treat them to a milk tea of any fvor!”

  A voice suddenly rang out in the square, making Jiang Qin’s eyes light up.

  He khat even in Lin Uy, there would be no she of ambitious figures like Qin Zi’ang!

  Turning to look, Jiang Qin saw the unknown Lin’s Qin Zi’ang generously waving a stack of red bills, which fluttered with his wrist movements, creating a rustling sound.

  So much money, soon to be in the hands of the little rich dy.

  “Xiaoxuan, where’s your boss dy?” Jiang Qin casually asked as he ehe shop.

  Fang Xiaoxuan looked up at him, her eyes a mix of fusion, bewilderment, and inprehension.

  “Why are you staring at me like that?” Jiang Qin was taken aback by her expression.

  “Sorry, boss dy, I’m a bit dazed. I didn’t uand what you just said. Are you asking where you are?”

  Jiang Qin was also puzzled, “I’m the boss dy?”

  “Ahh, that’s what the boss said,” Fang Xiaoxuan muttered under her breath.
