Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Seeing that Chen Sheng had brought the topic to a serious level, the surrounding classmates also gathered around and asked, "I saw the post you made on the forum. How come you guys pay such high fees to the teachers recording lectures? To be honest, I'm tempted!"

"If you want to come and record a lesson, that's fine too. I'll talk to Zhou Min and get you transferred to the recording team."

As soon as Chen Sheng finished speaking, the classmate who had spoken earlier, Shi Ruizhe, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I was just kidding! I still prefer programming."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng said with a hint of disappointment, "Alright! I was actually hoping that my recording team could have another great member like you."

Shi Ruizhe was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Yue Province, which is a province with a large number of college entrance examination candidates.

Whether in terms of population size or the number of students taking the college entrance examination, Yueyang Province is second to none in the country.

Chen Sheng felt that Shi Ruizhe, the top scorer in Yue Province's college entrance examination last year, would definitely be more useful in the recording group than here.

It would be great if he were willing to switch places with some of the third- or fourth-year computer science students in the recording group.

Looking at Shi Ruizhe's sunny and handsome face, Chen Sheng decided that he would still have to take some time that night to do some ideological work with Shi Ruizhe.

While Chen Sheng was chatting with his classmates, Zhou Min noticed that it was time to go, counted the number of people again, and after confirming that everyone had arrived, Zhou Min got up and went to the front of the classroom.

"Everyone, please be quiet. We're about to begin our meeting!"

"I gave a general overview of this project in the group this afternoon, and now I'll explain our ideas in more detail."

"Everyone knows that people are now paying more and more attention to education. Students not only study at school and at home, but also in offline tutoring classes."

"Many parents go to great lengths to create a good learning environment and good learning resources for their children."

"I think most of us students have experienced these things ourselves. In fact, we know very well that we are sitting here not necessarily because we are smarter, more hardworking, or more outstanding than others."

"It may also be because our parents, teachers and schools provide us with better learning resources."

"My original intention in creating this online education platform was the same: I hope to deliver good educational resources to more people who need them. I hope it can help more hardworking and talented children realize their dreams."

After Zhou Min finished speaking, Chen Sheng led the applause.

Seeing this, the others also joined in the applause.

Although the applause was sparse, there were many people, so it sounded quite convincing.

After Zhou Min finished explaining the general principles, she cleared her throat and continued, "Another reason why I'm doing online education is that I've discovered that this market in China is basically a blank slate."

"I am very optimistic about this market. I believe that with the development of technology and the Internet, online education will become a hot field."

"The reason is simple. First, it allows people in areas with poor teaching conditions to enjoy the best teaching resources in the country without leaving their homes."

"Secondly, it effectively saves parents time in taking their children to offline tutoring classes."

"third........"

........

Zhou Min listed them one by one, and the students in the audience listened more and more attentively.

All of you here are computer science students. You all usually learn about cutting-edge computer technologies and have related ideas.

Therefore, everyone is ahead of the curve in terms of technological concepts and awareness.

Now, thanks to Zhou Min's reminder, they all naturally saw a vast, untouched blue ocean before them.

Looking at the students' burning gazes below the stage, Zhou Min smiled slightly and continued, "I mentioned in the group chat before that in addition to the monthly salary of 8000 yuan, I will also issue a certain amount of bonus when the website is completed."

"Now I'll make another promise: I will also provide certain stock rewards to students who perform exceptionally well in the project."

Upon hearing Zhou Min's words, many students in the audience couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Anyone who has ever browsed the school forum today knows just how big Zhou Min's business has become.

They had heard that the website had already recruited 100 teachers for its first batch of recording sessions, and that they had selected provincial champions and gold medal winners who commanded high hourly rates and were given priority in recruitment.

This means that Zhou Min and her team's budget for the hourly rate of these recording teachers was definitely much higher than 150 yuan per hour.

In this scenario, 100 people, as long as each of them can maintain an eight-hour workday and record 10 lessons.

Zhou Min's tuition fees alone this summer amounted to far more than 900 million.

900 million!!!

What does that even mean?!

Add in other investments, and a quick calculation shows it's already a multi-million dollar project.

This is only Zhou Min's initial investment.

The more they thought about it, the more excited they became.

If I could really get shares in this project, why would I need to look for a job or go to work?

Compared to Zhou Min's project, the entrepreneurial projects I used to see from senior students on the forum suddenly seemed like child's play.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Zhou Min continued, "For those who are interested in our project, I welcome you to come and invest with me!"

Zhou Min's words further stirred everyone's emotions.

But soon, everyone calmed down.

For projects with investments of tens of millions, becoming a shareholder is not an easy task.

After considering their own finances, everyone felt that it might be easier to perform well at work.
