I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

"Activate the account first."

Ye Feng was giving instructions.

"Tomorrow is May Day holiday, you can give it a try. Zhou Ming, you know more about digital products and are more hands-on, so you can be in charge of explaining. Hao Zi, you can be in charge of filming, and Wan Quan can be in charge of writing the copy."

At this point, Ye Feng took a sip of beer and continued.

"I'll first upload 3 review videos, with the topics being 'Top 3 Laptops for Students Under 3000 Yuan,' 'How to Avoid Pitfalls When Using a Second-hand iPhone,' and 'Computer Cleaning Tutorial.' I'll invest a small amount in local promotion, targeting only university students in Shanghai."

"By the way, you can open your online stores first. I don't need to teach you how to attract customers. You've all seen how Miaomiao did it. If you don't understand, go and learn from her online store. You're familiar with that place."

The three of them were a little confused, but they still thought Ye Feng's words were quite good.

However, Zhou Ming was still a little worried.

"Fengzi, can this business really be done long-term?"

"Of course, students are constantly changing. Every year, new students come and old students graduate. Moreover, digital products are updated and iterated very quickly. The demand is always there. What you need to do is be sincere and build a good reputation. As long as you have a good reputation, you can even do this full-time after graduation."

Actually, none of the three of them had thought about this. It was just that Ye Feng seemed to be painting a picture for them, a very beautiful picture, and also a vision for the future!

Although everyone says they want to become teachers so they can have a more comfortable life when school starts, who would choose to be a teacher if there were other jobs that could earn money?

Then, Ye Feng continued.

"Furthermore, if you can really scale this up and expand it nationwide, do you think investment firms won't approach you?"

Speaking of this, even Wan Quan, who had been slacking off the whole time, couldn't help but light up, because that represents financial freedom!

Just imagine, if the company really goes public, you can sell your shares and sit back and rest easy!

The pen in Wan Quan's hand fell onto the paper with a "thud." He quickly picked it up, his fingertips trembling slightly.

"Brother Feng, are you serious? Our little operation can actually attract investment institutions?"

He used to think that "going public" and "financial freedom" were things that only happened on TV, but now that Ye Feng was saying them right in front of him, he was a little incredulous.

Just yesterday I was figuring out how to scrape together next month's living expenses, and today someone suddenly said, "You'll be able to live in a big villa someday."

Haozi also put down his phone stand and came over.

"If we can really achieve nationwide coverage, shouldn't we create an online platform?"

Zhou Ming stroked his chin, his eyes fixed on the draft paper on the table. He had only been thinking about "making money by selling goods" before, but now his mind had suddenly opened up.

"If we really intend to expand, we need to solidify our 'machine testing' process. We can't just do casual testing like we do now; we need to establish a standardized procedure!"

For example, with mobile phones, you need to test for screen leaks, fingerprint recognition functionality, and whether the motherboard has been repaired; with computers, you need to open the case to check if the graphics card and memory are original, and benchmark scores will be recorded. Then, you can issue a "machine inspection report" like those on Zhuanzhuan (a Chinese online marketplace), highlighting the "defects" in red, in black and white, for the user to see—that's how people will believe it!

This week, Ming's vision is really far-reaching, but perhaps a bit too far-reaching. There's still nothing there. Helpless, Ye Feng could only continue to add information.

"What you need to do now is cultivate customers. Thinking about these things is a bit too far ahead. As for things like validation, those are things to consider later!"

"Hehe, it's just that the pie in the sky you painted was too big, I couldn't help myself."

"We still have to take it one step at a time. You are currently at school, and students are the quickest to accept electronic products and new things, which is beneficial for your initial development and also allows you to gain some experience from it."

"I understand, I can't wait."

"Don't be so impatient. Let's think about how to shoot the video first. Also, Zhou Ming, you need to disassemble more phones to practice. It would be so embarrassing if you couldn't even take a phone apart to shoot the video!"

"What's so difficult about that? I can fix a phone even if I don't know how to take it apart!"

This guy clearly thinks taking apart a phone isn't difficult, but when he actually tries it, he'll find it's not that simple.

"Also, you need to set up a table. When shooting videos, you at least need to look professional, right?"

"Okay, we'll have a day off tomorrow, so let's discuss this properly and prepare all these things."

At this point, Lin Hao thought of something else.

"Hey lunatic, do you think we could apply for a room at the startup incubator too?"

"That's a good idea. Just go to your advisor; you get six months of free time. If you do well, you can keep doing it; if not... well, consider it experience!"

The three of them clearly didn't take Ye Feng's words to heart. They were all eager to start their own business and believed they could definitely succeed.

Isn't this just like those naive young entrepreneurs who rush in full of confidence and then come out looking defeated?

Wan Quan was clearly also caught up in the moment, and he continued to add to the discussion.

"Yes, let's register a company too. Once we've established a foothold in Shanghai, we'll expand to Suzhou and Nanjing! We'll find student union presidents or tech enthusiasts from local universities to be our agents, train them on the product inspection process, and have them handle local buybacks and sales guidance. We'll take a 10% commission. Just like how Zhuanzhuan expands its city sites, we'll gradually spread it nationwide. Then our account won't be called 'Shanghai Campus Digital Bro,' it'll be called 'National Campus Digital Alliance'!"

"Yes, yes, let's create an online platform. That way, we can reach more customers, and using social media to drive traffic will make transactions much more convenient!"

The three of them became more and more excited as they talked, and the draft paper was soon filled with dense writing.

The "May Day Plan" has been released, outlining what to do during the holiday.

Seeing the three of them so excited, Ye Feng couldn't help but remind them.

"You need to focus on the present and not think too much about the future. For example, when making videos, you need to show the details of the machine inspection so that students feel that you are more reliable than those outside the school; when dealing with distributors, you need to negotiate the after-sales service so that no one will be responsible when the machine has problems."

"Don't worry! We'll get started tomorrow! Let's take care of the students in Shanghai first, then we'll think about the national picture! When the company goes public, I'll reserve 10% of the shares for you!"

"Stop bragging, let's get tomorrow's video filmed first."

Ye Feng hadn't really thought about shares or anything like that, because he wasn't short of money right now and had no expectations for them. He didn't even think these three could pull it off.

All that talk was just to give the three of them a long-term plan so they would have the motivation to keep going.
