Reborn in 08, a heretical cultivator starting a business

Chapter 53 No matter how much you lose, I'm sure I'll make a lot! (Seeking monthly votes)

"Brother Hao, is your home on Fushun Road?" Jin Xingye asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I was born in Xinjiazhuang. Later, my dad's business prospered, and we moved to the city. But I still have a house in my hometown. I also have two large warehouses, which I rent out to fruit and vegetable vendors in the market next door."

Jia Zhonghao's expression was somewhat complicated. He was guarding a huge gold mine, yet he hadn't noticed any business opportunities!

Instead, Wang Junshan benefited from the situation!
Absolutely!

Jin Xingye's face lit up with joy: "Isn't this a coincidence? You're from Xinjiazhuang, and you have a warehouse at home, so you must know a lot of fruit and vegetable vendors. That makes sourcing goods much easier!"

Jia Zhonghao nodded: "Purchasing goods is not a problem. If you want to rent our warehouse, just give us a heads-up. But once we get to the school, we'll still need a store and a warehouse."

“Wang Junshan has a 200-square-meter warehouse and a 50-square-meter YouTuan group-buying supermarket. We also need to take over a store.”

“Brother Hao, I’ve thought this out for you. Feihang Supermarket isn’t doing well, and the owner thinks the rent is too high, so he’s subletting it. It’s a 150-square-meter supermarket and a 150-square-meter underground warehouse. It’s much more impressive than the one in Wangjunshan. You’ll get the prime location. The rent will only be 12 a year.”

"Feihang Supermarket is shutting down? The location is indeed good, and 12 is not cheap, but it's acceptable. I'll ask my dad for the money! But what about the advertising? What about the group-buying groups?"

"Wang Junshan's YouTuan Binda group has reached 52 groups with tens of thousands of members. We don't have a single one. What should we do?"

Jia Zhonghao still found it difficult to handle. Ever since he was fooled by Xu Ao last time, he had become much more cautious.

Jin Xingye waved his hand: "That's easy to say. Wang Junshan was able to build 52 group-buying groups by distributing flyers, selling winter melons, selling fruits at low prices, and having the first-mover advantage. If we follow suit now, we are indeed at a disadvantage. But Brother Hao, you also have advantages that even Wang Junshan can hardly match."

"I have an advantage that even Wang Junshan can hardly match? How come I didn't know that?" Jia Zhonghao was dumbfounded.

The gazes directed at Jin Xingye were now tinged with suspicion.

Could this kid also be a spy sent by that old dog Xu Ao?

Last time, it was that bastard Xu Ao who sent someone to give me false information, trying to trick me into selling winter melons.

Luckily, I was quick-witted, otherwise I would have suffered heavy losses like Little Raindrop Supermarket and become a laughing stock.

Now Jin Xingye is trying to trick me into doing group buying, which will cost even more!

Could it be that bastard Xu Ao arranged this again?

By the way, Jin Xingye is also the student council minister, and he was also promoted by that old dog Xu Ao!

That's absolutely shameless!
Just as Jia Zhonghao was about to get angry, he heard Jin Xingye say:

"Brother Hao, have you forgotten who you are? Student Council President."

"Student council president?" Jia Zhonghao was taken aback, his eyes lighting up.
"You mean, using the student council's name, or even your position as president, to force everyone to join my group-buying group?"

“That’s right!” Jin Xingye laughed. “Seniors may not pay much attention to our student council, but freshmen and sophomores are still very obedient.”

"With just one word from you, all the department heads will relay the message. Which freshman or sophomore would dare not join the group?"

"Those in their third year will probably all have to join the group."

"It can also be subcontracted to each college, requiring student union cadres to promote this, which is efficient and low-cost."

"You don't even need to hand out flyers; just one word from you and everyone will join the group!"

Jia Zhonghao frowned: "Is this feasible? Won't it make people think that I, as the student council president, am too authoritative and abusing my power for personal gain?"

"What's the big deal? When Xu Ao was chairman, things were much more serious, and nobody said anything."

"Besides, power is something that is used."

"Why are you ignoring your rights and insisting on competing head-on with Wang Junshan? Isn't that taking the long way around?"

Jia Zhonghao nodded: "Okay, let's do it that way. You can notify the student council members."

“Oh right, we also need to create group buying groups. Didn’t Wang Junshan create 52? Let’s create 52 too.” “No problem, Brother Hao, leave this to me. But creating groups is easy, but you need to become a member… If you don’t become a member, you only have a regular group with a limit of 100 people, and if you become a member, you have a member group with a limit of 200 people.”

"Of course, you don't have to subscribe to a membership. We can just create 104 regular groups and use them just the same, it's just a bit more troublesome."

"No way, Wang Junshan is in a membership group, how can I, Jia Zhonghao, be at a disadvantage?"

Jia Zhonghao decisively waved his hand: "Open it, we must open it! How much do you need? You calculate it, and I'll give it to you."

Jin Xingye explained in detail: "QQ members can open one 200-person member group each month. For example, if you recharge your membership in June, you can open one member group. If you renew your membership in July, you can open another one, and the same applies to August. However, if you don't renew your membership and it expires, the members of the 200-person member group that you have already opened will not be kicked out. It's just that once it exceeds 6 people, you can't add any more people."

Jia Zhonghao understood: "Then we can get 52 QQ accounts at once, subscribe to a one-month membership for each one, create a membership group for each account, and have everyone join. Once the group is full, even if we don't renew the membership next month, we can still use it as usual!"

"Yes, Brother Hao, this is the lowest cost way."

"Okay, here's 550. Give me 52 QQ numbers, no, 53 QQ numbers, and open 53 200-person VIP groups. Then have them all join the groups. Use the extra to buy cigarettes."

"Thank you, Brother Hao," Jin Xingye said with a smile, but inwardly he thought:

"Damn it, you created 53 QQ accounts, recharged memberships 53 times, and created 53 membership groups. You must have been busy for several hours, and you only gave me a 20 yuan kickback? You're really something else."

"It's alright, if you don't give us enough, we'll find ways to earn more!"

Jin Xingye returned to his dormitory, immediately turned on his computer, and sent a message to an online friend named Boss Sun:
[Mr. Sun, I need 53 QQ groups with 200 members each.]

No problem. A 200-person membership group costs 15 yuan each, and 53 groups total 795 yuan. Rounding up, I'll charge you 1000 yuan and upgrade you to 4 VIP4 annual memberships and 1 VIP3 membership!

[Four VIP accounts with four-year subscriptions... No problem, thank you.]

Soon, four VIP4 QQ accounts were sent over, each with 12 VIP groups of 200 people each.

There is also a VIP3 QQ account, which includes 5 member groups.

The account, password, and security questions were all sent to me.

That's the business they're in.

You can get a few annual QQ memberships at zero cost, and you can upgrade to VIP4 in seven months and VIP5 in 14 months.

One 200-person membership group can be created per month, along with one VIP4 account. Depending on the duration, 7-13 membership groups with a maximum of 200 people can be created.

A VIP4 QQ account with an annual fee can be sold for 80-130 yuan.

Add 12 more member groups of 200 each, and selling for 200-300 yuan isn't difficult.

Those who need a large number of members don't have time to wait a year; they can only create a 200-person group every month and have to pay for it.

As for paid expansion of QQ groups, it costs 1 yuan per person, so expanding a 200-person member group would cost 100 yuan, which is even less cost-effective.

Having settled this matter, Jin Xingye approached Jia Zhonghao again:
"Brother Hao, I've noticed that Wang Junshan's group consists of high-level VIP annual members. It would be rather embarrassing for us to just create regular memberships."

"Besides, managing 53 QQ accounts is inconvenient. Even with both of us using our phones and computers, and all four devices freezing, we still can't log into all 53 QQ accounts!"

Jia Zhonghao nodded: "That makes sense. So what should we do?"

"I found a way. I directly asked someone to buy four VIP4 annual membership QQ accounts and one VIP3 membership account. With five accounts, I have 53 member groups! If we continue to renew, we can add five more member groups every month. If we renew for a few more months, we still have a chance to reach VIP5!"

Jia Zhonghao nodded: "Five numbers will make management easier. Well done!"

"However, a VIP 4 annual QQ account, which comes with so many groups, is not cheap. The money I give you is definitely not enough."

"It's nothing, it only cost 2000. The extra money is my support for Brother Hao's business!"

Jin Xingye said generously.
