Back to the prime of life

Chapter 135 Possibility

After sending Ji Shi off, Lu Changge received a call from Zuo Shuya on his way back.

She asked, "Where did you find this person?"

"Wang Hongcheng introduced it."

"Why would she help you so much? It's not like she's doing this for the little money she makes from the swimming pool. I don't think she's someone who needs money."

Indeed, logic is missing in this matter.

But it wasn't difficult to push it down. Zuo Shuya screamed, "...If it's not for money, then it's for people, Lu Changge! What did you do?"

"I was so startled. How could I possibly do anything? But you guessed a little."

"Really? You really have some skills. No, what happened between you two?"

Lu Changge himself was confused, "That's what's weird, this is only the second time I've met her."

Zuo Shuya didn't believe it, "You're bragging to me, right?"

"There's nothing you can do if you don't believe me. We'll talk about it later anyway. We have more important things to do now."

Zuo Shuya asked, "Do you have any solution for the principal of Jiangwai?"

"Don't worry, just wait for my news."

He's not someone so powerful that he's out of reach. There's no way around it. It won't be a big loss for him. If it really doesn't work, he can probably get it done by using some connections.

He hasn't used Xu Weiguo yet.

After all, Xu is still a deputy division-level cadre.

How influential could a private school branch principal like him be? So he wasn't worried at all.

It was quite a coincidence that he just thought of Xu Weiguo when he received a call from him.

"Hey, Changge, are you free the day after tomorrow night?"

Lu Changge thought for a moment, "Then come with me to a wedding?"

"Okay. Who's getting married?"

"The son of Leader Li Fuchun." Xu Weiguo said with a helpless tone.

Lu Changge thought about it and realized that Li Fuchun’s leader was at least the person in charge.

This is useful because Li Fuchun is about to retire, and his swimming pool cannot be retired with him.

"it is good."

"How's Wang Hongcheng doing? I heard he got a loan."

Lu Changge said: "I told him that if he still needs funds, it would be best to go to the development zone."

"Then I'll wait for him."

The phone hangs up.

Lu Changge couldn't tell what happened next.

These people are caught up in these interest circles and no one can escape.

But fortunately, it is already April. The financial crisis happened in September, so a project would not be implemented so quickly. Sometimes it would take several months to polish the details of a contract.

Wang Hongcheng is currently focused on that residential project and I haven't seen him recently.

Lu Changge thought about it roughly and felt that it should not be a big problem. The new development zone has limited economic foundation, and the decision to build another Jiangxing Commercial Plaza would not be so simple.

It was already dark in Jiangzhou at this time.

After a busy day, he didn't realize how time had passed.

Jiangzhou University of Technology was still the same as usual, with students coming in and out of the gate.

He has been studying intensively recently and the swimming pool is about to open, which made him a little tired. After parking the car downstairs, he lay on a chair and rested for a while.

About ten minutes later, someone suddenly knocked on the car window, which scared him.

After taking a closer look, he realized it was Qin Jun. He rolled down the car window and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qin Jun said, "I left something in the garage and came back to get it. What's wrong with you? Why are you sitting in the car?"

Lu Changge pinched the base of his nose and said, "Nothing's wrong, I'm just tired."

"You must be tired, right? The intensity of your university education is higher than that of high school."

There's nothing much to say about this; it's your own choice.

"Call Li Ming and let's go take a bath."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Qin Jun seemed to be holding a book. He threw the thing into the back seat and sat in the passenger seat.

The car drove around Juyuan, picked up Li Ming and drove out of the school.

After feeling tired, he would take a bath and then ask someone to massage his back. This kind of leisure activity was quite effective for him.

In the pool, the three of them finished stripping off. Li Ming looked at his figure with some envy, "Your muscles are still toned. Haven't you stopped exercising since you're so busy now?"

"It's definitely a little less, but I'm still holding on."

Qin Jun looked at Lu Changge, and to be honest, he really admired his roommate.

"Old Lu, there are a lot of Taobao stores imitating ours recently. Li Ming and I are discussing this. We need to come up with a solution."

"Piracy, imitation, knock-offs... this is an unsolvable problem. What can you do?"

"I know, so we're thinking, either we update the content or we stay the same, and some stores are just copying our content."

Lu Changge leaned against the edge of the pool. To be honest, he didn't really care about this anymore. "There's no need. This way of making money is a crooked way. It won't last long. I put in 5% of my effort, but I might only get % of the results. Instead of this, I might as well do something else."

Li Ming said, "It's mainly because we're a little embarrassed. Seeing our sales drop by tens of thousands every month, we're really scared. I'm afraid you'll beat me up, bro."

Oh?
It turned out to be the case.

Lu Changge blinked his eyes. To be honest, he was really overwhelmed recently and had not considered that these two people would have such thoughts.

Fortunately, it was Li Ming who spoke up. It would be better to just say it out loud.

"I forgot to tell you guys, the decline in Taobao store sales is okay. My focus will be on the swimming pool from now on."

"So you won't run a Taobao store? I think this is also a direction," said Qin Jun.

Lu Changge asked: "What do you think?"

"I don't have any idea. But Old Lu, are you really not interested in a Taobao store? I think e-commerce is quite powerful right now. Your store has traffic, so wouldn't we be able to make money selling something else?"

It's an idea.

Qin Jun was still a thinker. If he didn't want to pursue vocational training courses, then fine, why not just switch products? The key was that this store and these visits were valuable.

Just throw it away like this. Lu Changge is willing to do so, but he is reluctant.

"What's specific?"

Li Ming snorted, "He talked to Lao Cheng and suggested starting with clothing. But I disagree. Lao Cheng is always so aggressive, and I don't want to beg him."

"I'm even less willing to do it than you are, but he's essentially a man of integrity." He then said to Lu Changge, "Of course, the two of us aren't as smart as you. We're just holding onto this energy, but we don't know where to direct it."

Lu Changge said, "Given our conditions, we can only start with clothing. Jiangzhou itself has the advantage of low clothing prices. But clothing is something that requires individuality. Only by capturing the common characteristics of the people who visit our store can we make some sales."

"I see."

Lu Changge did not stop them, nor did he discourage them. He just let them mess around with a Taobao store that he didn't want to manage. If they managed to come up with something, maybe his mind would change in the future.

Besides, he had been thinking about the financial crisis recently. If a crisis hit, Jiangzhou's export-oriented economy would be greatly affected. If he could open up a path for domestic sales...

Then Xu Weiguo would have to pay more attention to him, and even a change in the situation between the two sides was not impossible.

The whole evening, he had one thing on his mind: before today, he didn't know that Xu Weiguo also knew the person in charge of the Sports Bureau.
